In the hazy space, the colorful light flickered on and off, weaving a net in wisps, and the crystal silk threads trembled gently, with tiny points of light, like clear and transparent water droplets jumping into the air.

In the center of the light was an old and old gate, and on the door were faintly two blood-red totems, which were wrapped in surging black mist.

The door slowly opened, and the breath of the past was permeated, and there was a solemn and solemn bell ringing inside the door, and the sound vibrated to accept the worship of all things in the world.

Suddenly, a pitch-black mist squeezed out of the gate frantically, and a terrible roar came out, eerie and chilling.

The black gas swallowed all the light like a hideous ghost, everything disappeared, even time was extinguished, and only silence remained in the void.

"Ahh

"You're awake. Su He sat on the side and looked at him with a smile, and touched Xiao Lin's forehead, "The fever has subsided, it seems that there is nothing serious." ”

"Where have I been?" Xiao Lin waved away Su He's hand, without raising his head, and struggled to prop himself up and sit up, looking around.

"You have a high fever for three days. Su He withdrew his palm and looked at Xiao Lin, his eyes flickering.

He was in an old room, empty and empty, with nothing but dark tables and chairs and a hardboard bed with a random layer of cotton wool, the floor had accumulated a thick layer of dust, and the corners of the ceiling were covered with fine cobwebs.

"Where's Grandpa?" Xiao Lin suddenly reacted and looked around anxiously, looking for Old Man Yun's figure.

"Your grandfather is still unconscious, and now there are doctors in town who are treating him. Sukh said softly.

Xiao Lin was stunned, and wanted to get off the bed, but as soon as he moved his body, a heart-rending pain came, lightning passed through his entire body, he trembled all over, and let out a low roar of pain.

Su He held Xiao Lin's body: "Although you have no skin injuries, you have suffered a very serious elemental backlash and need to recuperate." ”

Xiao Lin broke away from Su He's palm and lowered his head, paused and still struggled out of bed, he gritted his teeth and said nothing, like an old man with an old age, slowly put on his shoes and walked out.

Su He watched from the side, not saying a word from beginning to night, the thin figure of the young man was like a sword, although he was limping, but he was stubborn and stubborn.

With a "squeak", Xiao Lin pushed the door and walked out, stunned.

Qingzhu Town is no longer what it used to be, it is in ruins, houses have collapsed, rubble and charred wood are scattered to the ground, there is a faint mist in the air, and it is raining.

A light rain fell sparsely on the ground, sprinkled on the dead and wounded, and scattered the blood on the ground.

Xiao Lin walked blankly on the streets of Qingzhu Town, looking around in a wooden manner, the villagers who were cleaning in and out did not approach, but nodded at him from a distance, and when they passed, they all quickened their pace, walked away quickly, and did not even look back.

Xiao Lin opened his mouth to say hello, but when he saw this situation, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, like a fish in his throat.

Su He followed from a distance, looking at the young man walking in the rain, obviously a child, but his thin figure looked a little depressed and lonely, like a traveler who had been adrift away from home for many years, and was incompatible with the whole town.

"Where is my grandfather?" Xiao Lin turned his head and looked at Su He with an expression.

Suhe sighed lightly, "Follow me." With that, he walked into the distance.

Xiao Lin slowly followed, limping, and there was a burning sensation on his body, as if his clothes were burning.

Su He took Xiao Lin through an alley, and the villagers on both sides of the alley saw Xiao Lin, hid in the house without a trace, and quietly closed the doors and windows.

An aunt wearing a linen coarse dress and an apron was a little unbearable, holding two steamed buns in her hand and wanted to come over to stabilize Xiao Lin, but was pulled by the old wife on the side, and the old man said in a low voice and quickly: "You are crazy, that is a monster." ”

"What a monster, that's our little Linzi. ”

"You're going to die, don't go!"

The old man stubbornly pulled the aunt to prevent her from coming, and the aunt was helpless, so she slammed the door and walked into the back room in a rage, scolding as she went.

Su He looked at Xiao Lin with his peripheral vision, and the young man still looked expressionless, as if he didn't feel the strangeness of the villagers, but just pursed his mouth tightly, and his lips were a little pale.

Two figures, one large and one small, turned around a street corner and came to the front of a quaint wooden house, the house was not big, and they stayed alone in the corner of Qingzhu Town, as if no one had come for a long time.

Xiao Lin knows here, this is the only medical hall in Qingzhu Town, the doctor is an old man, he is old, a little withdrawn, he has no family, and he lives alone from beginning to end.

Except when he is sick, the villagers generally do not come to visit him, even if it is the New Year's holiday, the old doctor is alone at the door of the house, a pot of wine and a few plates of side dishes, eating slowly.

However, Old Man Yun often brought Xiao Lin over to chat, and the two old men could chat all day, which was quite a good relationship.

The old doctor would occasionally take Xiao Lin into the mountains to collect medicine, thanks to him, Xiao Lin also knew a lot of medical knowledge at a young age.

Xiao Lin pushed the door and walked in, he was already familiar with the furnishings in the room, and on the left side of the door was a huge shelf, which was full of bottles and cans and all kinds of herbs, and the smell of medicine and herbs were mixed together, making people feel uncomfortable.

In the middle was a table and two chairs, both of which were very old, the four legs of the table had been repaired many times, not to mention the chairs, and when one sat on them, there was a screeching sound, like sawing wood. The old doctor usually sat here to treat the people of the town, and on the right side of the house was a door leading to the inner room.

Xiao Lin walked into the inner room, there were three beds in the room, and there were people lying on them, these were all villagers who had been injured in the previous chaos, and Xiao Lin, the person lying in the innermost, was the most familiar.

"Grandpa. Xiao Lin didn't care about the pain in his body, walked over quickly, stretched out his hand and wanted to push the old man Yun, but hesitated and shrank back.

Old Man Yun's face was pale, his lips were purple, his eyes were closed, and there was a narrow scar on his chest on the left side, the wound had stopped bleeding, and it was densely stitched with needles and threads, and he looked a little crazy.

"Xiao Linzi is here. An old voice came into Xiao Lin's ears, and an old man with a somewhat stiff figure walked in slowly from outside, carrying a basket full of freshly picked herbs.

Xiao Lin hurriedly asked, "Doctor grandfather, my grandfather is ...... How is he?" he stared at the old doctor's old face, his eyes not daring to blink, and his hands clenched tightly.

The old doctor shook his head: "It's hard to say, if the bleeding is stopped and the medicine is taken, whether you can live depends on the life of Lao Yuntou." ”

Xiao Lin's face turned pale, his body trembled, and he hurriedly supported the edge of the bed with his hands so that he didn't let himself fall.

Su He couldn't bear to bear this kind of news for a child, so he stepped forward and asked, "Senior, if you think of a way, you must save him." ”

The old doctor's old face was like a pitch-black tablecloth, his eyebrows were twisted into a string, and he sighed: "Only Old Man Yun and I can talk to each other in this town." After speaking, he shook his head and walked to the table and began to dispense medicine.

Xiao Lin sat on the edge of Old Man Yun's bed, holding his dry and cold hands, and said nothing in a daze, the light rain outside the window was sparsely like hanging silk, dripping on the edge of the window, like a child making noise, which made him upset.

Xiao Lin felt a little out of breath, the gray scene in the room did not have the slightest brilliance, he shook his head irritably, but he still couldn't get rid of the indescribable emotion in his heart, and suddenly got up and walked out of the wooden house.

Su He hurriedly followed, Xiao Lin is very unstable now, in case the elements get out of control at this time and cause the fire wave to rage, don't say that Xiao Lin himself may have lost his life, Qingzhu Town really can't withstand another destruction.

Xiao Lin sat alone on the steps in front of the wooden house, staring blankly ahead, his originally bright eyes losing their light.

Su He stood quietly next to Xiao Lin and did not speak.

"You have to save my grandfather!" Xiao Lin lowered his head and said, there was a hint of crying in his voice, he was a child after all, where could he withstand this kind of thing, he didn't know what to do in a daze and pain.

Su He's voice was hoarse: "If you can get to the imperial capital, your grandfather should still have hope, but it's just ......" He was silent, he couldn't say the next words, he was also in pain and almost unbearable, an old man he didn't know actually sacrificed himself to save him, before this, he never thought that there really was such a person in this world.

"I don't care, if it weren't for you, my grandfather wouldn't be like this, you have to save it!" Xiao Lin turned his head and stared at Su He, biting his lip, with a trace of mist in his eyes.

"Qingzhu Town is on the border of the empire, and it will take a whole ...... to rush to the imperial capital from here."

"Xiao Linzi, your grandfather is awake. The old doctor shouted from inside the room.

Xiao Lin jumped up, ran in quickly, and hurriedly ran to Old Man Yun's bedside.

"Grandpa, how are you?" Xiao Lin grabbed Old Man Yun's palm and asked anxiously.

A smile appeared on Old Man Yun's old face, he reached out and touched Xiao Lin's head dotingly, and said softly, "I'm not hurt." ”

"I'm fine. There were tears in the corners of Xiao Lin's eyes, he had a stomach full of words to say, but he couldn't say a word when it came to his mouth, so he could only grab Old Man Yun's hand vigorously.

Old Man Yun turned his head to look at Su He and smiled, "Thank you." ”

Su He opened his mouth and was like Xiao Lin, he didn't know what to say, he knew very well in his heart that Old Man Yun's life had passed cleanly, and now it was his last breath, and he would return to the light.

"It's okay if Grandpa isn't around. Old Man Yun coughed, and the light in his eyes was a little sluggish.

"I don't want it, grandpa doesn't want to die!" Xiao Lin cried, and there was a faint fire rising on his body, mixed with some black flames.

Old Man Yun's face changed, and he coughed violently, and Su He quickly stepped forward and slapped Xiao Lin at the back of his neck.

Xiao Lin snorted and fell softly into Su He's arms, Old Man Yun looked at Xiao Lin distressedly, with tears in his cloudy eyes, and looked at Su He: "I beg you to take care of him." ”

Su He nodded and solemnly promised: "Certainly, I will protect him with my life." ”

Old Man Yun smiled and lifted the burden in his heart: "I believe in the promise of the 'Blue Frost Sword' Su He. ”

Sukh's eyes flashed, and he finally nodded.

The wrinkles on Old Man Yun's face were stretched, and he slowly closed his eyes with a smile, and the old doctor, who had been standing at the door, sighed heavily, shook his head and left.

Xiao Lin was still holding Old Man Yun's palm even in a coma, tightly unwilling to let go, his mouth was whimpering softly, and he whispered vaguely: "Grandpa, grandpa." ”

The next day, Su He brought the food to Xiao Lin and said softly, "Eat something." ”

Xiao Lin's face was expressionless, and the whole person seemed to have lost his soul, without the slightest response.

Qingzhu Town is no longer the town he remembers, it is no longer the paradise full of laughter, it has become a dilapidated village with little vitality and no vitality, and his heart has long been in ruins.
