"This is the best blood, from whom did you get it?" The old man's words were tinged with surprise.

"Master, this person was sent to the half-dead man's sister this morning."

"Oh? Is it them? Since the blood on the sister's body is so high, the brother's blood will not be bad. So, you find an opportunity to get your brother's blood, and remember not to use a forceful method as before, which will cause disgust. ”

"Yes, it can be saved."

"Well, without further ado, when her brother is better, she will quickly arrange for him to be in the front room, so that he can be taken care of, so as not to waste it."

"But they were brought by the messenger of Zhuo...... Will there be any opinions on the arrangement of the Zhuo envoy in the new room......" The voice of the medicine boy in the hall was hesitant.

"Opinions?" The old man pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you send someone to give her the golden pill?" ”

"Back to Master, I took the pill to her after refining it in the afternoon, but she didn't give it to the patient immediately."

"It's also common sense, it must have been Zhuo Zhuo who said something to her, don't believe me......" The old man's tone was helpless and mocking.

"Do you want to continue the arrangement?" Sui Sheng asked respectfully.

The old man sighed: "Go on." Even if he has grievances, he shouldn't treat me, he should treat that person...... Ahem...... Besides, they are not qualified to have an opinion on us today, so you can do it. ”

Sui Sheng hurriedly responded: "What the master said is that those little demons still rely on our 'medicine', and they will definitely not dare to resist." The messenger of Kodra is different from all of them...... The boss also values him very much, shouldn't he be softer? ”

"Valuing...... Is it important...... How could his identity not be valued? The old man paused for a moment and continued, "Then let's stay in the infirmary first, and then move them out after the 'release period' is over." ”

"Hey, I know. Master, slow down. ”

After listening to their conversation, Linghua became more suspicious, and listened closely again, there was no sound in the hall, so she had to give up and return to the side courtyard along the way she came.

By this time, it was already dark, there were not a few lanterns hanging in the infirmary, and the mystery in the town was like darkness hidden in the shadows, so that people could not see clearly.

At this time, there was not a single living person on the road to the medical hall, only the afterimage of the body passing through the body floating on the road. Linghua looked at the floating remnants, although he didn't feel dangerous, he felt a little chill in his heart. She walked briskly with her body in her arms, looking around alertly.

The original fork in the hospital hall is gone, replaced by a wide "broad avenue". Stone pillars that were a head taller than Linghua suddenly appeared on both sides, and tigers of different shapes were carved on them. Linghua stepped onto the bluestone paved road and continued to walk forward.

The surrounding environment is bright, and it is as bright as day without a single light. In the blink of an eye, a two-story pavilion appeared in Linghua's field of vision. The surging spiritual power continued to erupt from the low pavilion, sending it to the back of Linghua.

She looked in the direction of the spiritual power, and the way she came was completely gone, the wooden cloister, the ripe peach trees, and the small palace all disappeared from sight, replaced by a huge and towering three-story wooden building.

Looking up, the cursive sign of Zhenxi Medical Center hangs under the cornices on the first floor. The three-story building was brightly lit, and the sound of chanting could be faintly heard from inside. She continued to listen quietly for a while, and suddenly a painful roar came from a room in the wooden building, Linghua hurriedly looked up to look for it, but found that the lights in the wooden building had been extinguished.

She looked around, and the afterimage was still swaying around her, and there was not a single human around her. She touched the mirror in her arms, hesitated at the door for a moment, and made up her mind to push open the door of the wooden building.

The dark red wooden door was like congealed blood, flowing as Linghua pushed it open. The red flows out and is absorbed by itself, wriggling and churning, like a special welcome ritual.

As Linghua closed the door, the blood stopped moving, and it condensed again and returned to its original appearance.

Linghua walked into the wooden building, and strangely, there was a shadow wall in front of him, and walking through the shadow wall was a wide courtyard.

By the light of the moon, she could see that the yard was planted with verdant greenery and peach trees that had already borne fruit. Walking inside, the roadside scene was the same as what I saw in the hospital during the day, there was a medicine cabinet for taking medicine in the main hall, three tables with paper and pencils, and a prescription for opening on it.

The difference is that there is not a single figure in the medical hall today, and even the afterimage of the past has not appeared. The whole hospital hall was silent, and there was no noise during the day.

Linghua relied on his memory to walk in the direction of the east gate and found the side courtyard along the dark road. There is a food box and a copper basin of water at the entrance of the courtyard, presumably for dinner and daily water. Everything else was as usual, not even the door was touched.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart still wondered, why was the scene in the wooden building exactly the same as the medical hall during the day? Why is there no one in the hospital at night? What does the conversation between Dr. Cao and the medicine boy mean? What is the reason for the sound in the wooden building?

Slender fingers rubbed her temples, and with a dark face, she picked up something on the ground and slammed it open and walked into the small courtyard, stepping on the bluestone slab covered with pebbles with both feet.

As soon as she opened the door, she smelled a sweet and greasy aroma that exuded the smell of blood, this smell was too familiar to be more familiar, she had a bad heart, and hurriedly put down the things in her hand, covered her mouth and nose and went into the house to see the situation of Henggu.

It was dark in the hut, but Linghua could still see a black figure as thick as the top and bottom swaying around Heng Gu's head with slender claws.

"Stop!" She immediately shouted and ran towards the shadow.

The black shadow paused at the sound of the sound, and its body trembled slightly, motionless, and there seemed to be a low sound in its body.

Linghua quickly stepped forward and slashed at the black shadow's claws. The claws were as stiff as stone, and some wet liquid stuck to them, sticking to them, and sticking to them.

Unable to care about the stickiness on her hands, she casually copied the wooden stool and smashed it on the black shadow. Seeing that Linghua was fierce, the black shadow seemed to be very timid, and swayed stiffly a few times, and then the fragrance disappeared.

The wooden bench fell into the air and hit the ground with a loud noise, Linghua opened the window and looked out, and no one came to see what was happening to them.

The cold moonlight entered the room, and she fumbled for the flint on the table and lit the oil lamp, but the room was still dark. She leaned her hand closer to the light and saw a puddle of rotting blood on her hand.

"This is ......," she sniffed, her brow furrowed, "how can it be the same smell?" ”

Linghua tore off the medicine sticker on his fingertips, wiped his bloodstained palm with a cloth, held the oil lamp in one hand and the flame in the other, and walked to Henggu's side to see his situation.

At this time, Henggu's face was pale, and sweat continued to break out on his body, Linghua stroked his forehead, and his palm was hot, and Henggu had a fever.

He couldn't talk about what he was talking about clearly, and Linghua listened to it, only to hear some unclear breath sounds.

Linghua was a little flustered, the thoughts in her mind were like a mess, and she asked herself repeatedly: How could Henggu have a fever? Is it the effect of medicine, or is it the dark shadow of Shicai? Why did the black shadow appear in this room, and what did it do to Henggu? And is he the thing that poked his back in the new second earthen house?

If so, then his purpose is to suck the essence qi. Linghua held the oil lamp to Henggu's ear, carefully looked at his face, and felt his breath for a moment.

"It's good that I wasn't sucked ......" she put her mind at ease, shook Heng Gu gently, and called his name softly, "Heng Gu, Heng Gu!" Wake up, I'm Linghua, can you hear me? ”

Heng Gu groaned and snorted softly as if he had heard it, Ling Hua hurriedly called "Heng Gu" again, and he really answered in a low voice indistinctly, but he couldn't open his eyes.

Linghua found the burden, took out the kettle from it, took out the handkerchief in his arms, poured some water on the handkerchief, and moistened Henggu's somewhat chapped lips little by little.

With the help of the faint light, she found a white cloth in the cupboard, dipped it in a copper basin and threw it three times, and applied it to Henggu's forehead: "Henggu, hurry up and reduce the fever, I didn't know that the effect of this medicine is so strong." I'm here with you until you get better. ”

……

The early morning sunlight slowly shone on Linghua's side face through the window, she kept Henggu all night, and Henggu also burned all night, and the heat on her forehead had not faded at this moment.

Linghua's eyes were dry, and she closed her eyes hard, trying to squeeze out some tears to moisten her eyeballs, but she heard Henggu cough. She hurriedly looked at it and called in a low voice, "Henggu? ”

Henggu didn't respond, and coughed violently. Linghua sat on the edge of the bed, helped him up and leaned on him, patted his face, and said in an anxious tone: "Henggu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Henggu's breath gradually became short, accompanied by coughing, spurting bright red blood mist, and then his breathing weakened, and the whole person collapsed in Linghua's arms.

Linghua's hands trembled, and she looked down at the boy in her arms, as well as the blood spots all over the bed.

"Henggu!"

She remembered the golden pill sent by the medicine boy yesterday, and now Henggu fell into a coma, not eating or drinking and vomiting blood, if she continued to consume it, who knows what the consequences will be?

"Dead horse bento be a live horse doctor...... "Maybe eating it can really save your life."

It was the first time for Linghua to feel so nervous, she swallowed her saliva, took out the golden pill, gently broke Henggu's mouth, and put the pill in his mouth. I took some water with a spoon and slowly fed it to my mouth to wash the golden pill down, and then all I could do was wait.

She had never felt so long.

At this time, the sky was already bright, Linghua went to touch Henggu's forehead, and found that the fever had subsided, and Henggu's face was no longer pale, and began to have blood.

"Could it be that this elixir really has an effect? Dr. Cao is not a quack? ”

Just as he was thinking about it, someone knocked on the door, and then a voice rang out: "Is it up?" Master sent me to deliver medicine. ”

Linghua opened the door and welcomed him in. Sui Sheng took the hot medicine and saw the blood stains on the quilt, his face changed, and he hurriedly put down the medicine and walked out.

It didn't take long for Dr. Cao to come, he nodded to Linghua and sat down to take his pulse, time passed in one breath and one breath, and Dr. Cao's expression became more and more solemn.

He turned his head to look at Linghua, who had not slept all night and was quite haggard, and after a few moments, he hesitated and said, "Miss Ling, I was afraid that telling you yesterday would only increase your fear, so I didn't tell the truth. But today's condition has worsened, and I'm afraid I have to make you prepare.

This young man should have been poisoned by the inhibition of life, which will suppress the essence in the body, consume physical strength, and cause people to fall into chaos. Although you will wake up after ten hours, if you don't return to the Yuan in time to replenish your Qi, you may be greatly injured. ”

Linghua was anxious and asked anxiously, "Doctor Cao, how should it be healed?" ”

Doctor Cao looked at Sui Sheng and ordered, "Prepare a medicinal bath for him." ”

Then he got the order and trotted all the way to prepare. Doctor Cao picked up the medicine on the table: "This medicine is facing this young man's symptoms, you must drink it for him while it is hot." ”

Linghua nodded and took the medicine bowl. Doctor Cao was watching from his side, as if he was going to stare at Linghua feeding the medicine.

She pretended to stir the amber decoction with a spoon, scooped a spoonful and put it to her mouth and blew it. At this moment, a little medicine boy stood outside the side hospital and shouted: "Doctor Cao, another patient is here!" ”

Doctor Cao glanced at Linghua and Henggu unwillingly, turned around and left with the little medicine boy.

Linghua hurriedly put down the medicine and closed the door, she sniffed the smell of the decoction, and smelled some fishy sweet blood in the smell of many herbs.

She recalled that when she first arrived at the side hospital, she smelled the smell of blood wafting from her—

"It turns out that the taste that I mentioned with Zhuo Zhuo at that time was really medicine."
