Chapter 8: The Great Disciple of the Medicine King Valley?
Rong Zhi turned around abruptly and clenched the dagger in his hand.
Only the grass and trees swayed around, and the moon shadow was mottled, but there was no second movement for a long time, as if it was just the sound of the wind just now.
Rong Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and after confirming that everything was done, she flew back to the haunted house.
When he went back, Xia Yunting was standing in the middle of the courtyard, and his tone sank after seeing Rong Zhi.
"Did you fight someone? What's the smell of blood? ”
"No, didn't Uncle Yu say that there was a person who died at the foot of the mountain, I changed your wedding dress on his body, and the group of assassins found the body, so they shouldn't continue to search."
Rong Zhi explained lightly, smelling her body, there was indeed a smell of blood.
I had the heart to change my clothes, but I couldn't change them at all, so I had to endure it.
She sighed and found that Xia Yunting was still standing there.
"Why did you come out, didn't you hide from it, now the assassin may not have left, and it's not safe outside."
Rong Zhi pushed Xia Yunting into the house and said, "Hurry up and rest, tomorrow we will go to the medicinal herb shop to buy Yunlin flowers, and we can treat you after collecting all the medicinal materials." ”
"Hmm."
Pushing Xia Yunting to the back room, Rong Zhi urged Xia Yunting to go to bed and let him sleep.
Xia Yunting sat on the bed and looked at Rong Zhi: "Aren't you sleeping?" ”
Rong Zhi looked at the narrow bed and coughed lightly: "You sleep first, I'm not sleepy." ”
Although she had slept with patients, it was limited to the same room and never shared a bed.
Although she and Xia Yunting have visited the church, they are not a real husband and wife after all, and it always feels weird to sleep together.
And most importantly...... A person like Xia Yunting who practices martial arts is extremely vigilant, in case she turns over carelessly while sleeping, and is treated as an assassin by Xia Yunting, then she will be too wronged.
"And I don't know when there will be assassins outside, I'll stay here first, if you really feel guilty, you can replace ...... in the middle of the night"
In the middle of speaking, Rong Zhi heard a slight snoring.
She held back the rest of her words, and when she came to the window, she found that Xia Yunting was breathing steadily and seemed to be asleep.
"Xia Yunting?"
She stretched out her hand and waved in front of Xia Yunting, but there was no movement, and she gently touched his arm, but there was still no movement, and finally reached out and pinched his face.
Still...... Not! Move! Quiet!
Said that people who practice martial arts are vigilant?
But it's good to fall asleep.
Rong Zhi relaxed and began to reach out to untie her belt.
After escaping all night, he carried Xia Yunting all the way on his back, plus he was looking for the substitute ghost just now, the smell of blood and sweat on his body had already been mixed, and he was very uncomfortable.
While Xia Yunting was asleep, he just took it off and dried it.
The evening breeze was blowing outside the window, but it was also cool.
Rong Zhi took off her coat, leaving only a white shirt, put her clothes in the tuyere, sat by the window herself, and began to close her eyes and recuperate.
Although it was just a joke to Xia Yunting that the rotation vigil was just a joke, the danger outside was also real, she slept lightly, and it was better to be cautious before she was sure that she was completely safe.
When Xia Yunting opened his eyes, what he saw was the scene of Rong Zhi bathing in the moonlight.
How can a battle-hardened person fall asleep so easily? Especially with someone who has just known each other for two days.
Just at this glance, his heart suddenly beat violently
Her shirt was thin, her slender back was in full view, and her snow-like complexion was whiter in the moonlight.
She is not defensive against herself at all.
Xia Yunting suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, even more uncomfortable than sneaking into the enemy camp late at night and just falling into the enemy's encirclement.
She was so small that she couldn't even breathe lightly, but she seemed to attack him.
However, he didn't know how to fight back.
He adjusted his breathing and forced himself to close his eyes.
Perhaps, he should learn how to get along with women.
The next day, as soon as Rong Zhi opened her eyes, she heard a click, her expression distorted, and she reached out to cover her neck.
"Pillow ......"
When I turned my head to look, I found that my coat was still hanging on the windowsill, and I was actually sleeping in bed!
Rong Zhi was startled, and searched left and right, but it was empty.
What about Xia Yunting?
Ran away? Lost? Caught? Or is it already ...... He's dead?
Just as he was wondering, there was a cacophony outside.
"Search carefully!"
"This house is suspicious, go in and have a look!"
"If you encounter a suspicious person, you will be killed!"
Oops! It's an assassin!
I didn't expect them to come back so soon!
It seems that Xia Yunting is fine for the time being.
Rong Zhi relaxed a little, quickly got out of bed, picked up the clothes on the windowsill, and quickly put them on.
With a bang, the door was kicked open,
A few people glanced around with a frown, and found that the room was empty.
They tightened their grips on their weapons and walked into the room step by step, not sparing every corner.
Two drops of dust fell from the beams and fell on the face of one of them, who touched his face and was about to look up.
A man suddenly came in from outside.
"Hall Master Zhu, Xia Yunting's body was found at the foot of the mountain."
"Really?"
"Yes, dressed up, tall, short, fat and thin, but the face has been ruined, and I can't see the face clearly."
The man known as Hall Master Zhu thought for a moment, then waved his hand at everyone.
"Withdraw!"
The crowd quickly withdrew.
The courtyard was quiet again, and Rong Zhi jumped down from the beam, looking at the crowd leaving, feeling worried.
Yesterday's method was just a stopgap measure, if the other party is easy to fool, it's fine, if the other party is not easy to fool, I'm afraid I will expose myself.
There was a sound of footsteps, Rong Zhi thought they were back, and quickly hid behind the door, only to find that it was Xia Yunting.
He was still wearing Uncle Yu's coarse cloth clothes, showing his wrists and calves, and he walked with a jade tree in the wind, as if he was a rich and noble son who went on a spring outing.
Rong Zhi became angry when she saw it, and rushed out and asked coldly, "What are you doing?" ”
I was scared, and I didn't even tell her when I went out.
Don't say it's a husband and wife, even if it's an ordinary friend, or a stranger who meets in the water, it shouldn't be like this in this time of crisis!
Xia Yunting stretched out his hand and took out a few sheets of dough wrapped in cloth.
"I'm hungry, this is from Uncle Yu."
He spoke in the same tone as usual, not feeling at all that he had done anything wrong.
Rong Zhi didn't speak, just glared at him.
Suddenly there was a gurgling sound, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on Rong Zhi's face, and she slowly climbed into a blush.
"Ahem, no matter what you do in the future, you have to tell me first, without my permission, you are not allowed to run around!"
"Got it."
Xia Yunting obediently agreed, and handed the cake to her: "You eat first." ”
That's pretty much it.
Rong Zhi was not polite, picked up a piece of cake and ate it.
She was indeed hungry, and she didn't care about her image, and in a moment her mouth was full of bread, like a squirrel that was angry.
Xia Yunting hooked his lips slightly, and also tore a piece of cake and put it in his mouth.
"Didn't you see the Assassin just now?" Rong Zhi asked.
"See, I'm hiding."
Xia Yunting said it lightly, and Rong Zhi didn't ask him where he was hiding.
"Uncle Yu said that the group of assassins asked him about us, but he only said that he didn't know, and the group left."
Rong Zhi nodded.
After breakfast, Rong Zhi was ready to go to the county seat to buy medicine.
According to Xia Yunting's current physical condition, he should stay and rest, but Rong Zhi really didn't worry about leaving Xia Yunting alone, otherwise if there was an accident, no one would take care of him, so he had to take Xia Yunting with him.
Before leaving, Rong Zhi looked at Xia Yunting's face thoughtfully.
"Your face is so eye-catching, I'm going to have to disguise it for you."
Xia Yunting was puzzled: "How to disguise?" ”
After a while, Xia Yunting looked at Rong Zhi, who was seriously scribbling on his face, and couldn't cry or laugh.
"That's what you call 'disguise'?"
Is it to rub dirt and black charcoal on your face?
"Don't talk!"
Rong Zhi straightened Xia Yunting's face, and found that the sharpness on his face had converged a little, and the edges and corners of his facial features had weakened, turning into an ordinary public face.
It's a lot safer now.
"Don't underestimate these things, this is the easiest disguise tool."
Rong Zhi patted the dust on her hands: "Let's go." ”
Xia Yunting stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, and wiped the ash on his hand, he was a little curious about what he looked like now, but unfortunately there was no mirror.
It was already noon when the two of them arrived in town, and the cicadas were chirping outside, and the guy was drowsy behind the counter.
"Man, grab the medicine."
Rong Zhi knocked on the table and handed the guy a prescription.
The guy suddenly woke up, and he hurriedly picked it up with a smile and browsed it.
This prescription was written by Rong Zhi in advance, and naturally it is not a prescription for the seven-day poison, but there are also Yunlin flowers in it.
After reading it, the guy frowned: "It's easy to say anything else, it's just Yunlinhua...... We don't. ”
While he was talking, Rong Zhi deliberately glanced around and found that there was indeed no Yunlin Flower in the name on the medicine cabinet.
It's a bit strange that such a common medicinal herb is not available in the pharmacy.
Rong Zhi asked, "Then when will it be available?" ”
The guy glanced at Rong Zhi and showed a weird smile: "You're from out of town, right?" Yunlin flower is extinct in our place, if your disease is Yunlin flower, then we can't cure it. ”
Can't cure ......
As a doctor, the three words that Rong Zhi can't hear the most are that they can't be cured!
"Isn't there anywhere else?"
The man thought for a moment, pointed in the direction of the south and said, "There is a mass grave in the south, if it can't be cured, you can go there!" ”
"You're cursing us to death?"
Rong Zhi's eyes were cold, as if her whole body was beginning to chill.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant......" The guy was so frightened that he quickly explained.
"You didn't know when you first came, there is a miracle doctor in our county, and his medical skills are very skillful, no matter what incurable diseases, you can definitely cure them if you go to him! However, this miracle doctor has a strange personality, he likes to wander around the mass grave, I heard that he wants to find some deceased who have just died and have no family members to test the medicine, if there is any disease in our neighborhood that cannot be cured, we all go to the mass grave and wait for the miracle doctor, so I just let you go to the mass grave. ”
I see.
Rong Zhi's face softened a little.
"What does the divine doctor look like, and what is his name?"
The man looked around, and mysteriously leaned over.
"Speaking of this, there is a reason, the Medicine King Valley knows, right? This divine doctor is the eldest disciple of the Medicine King Valley Lord, the senior brother of the Honor Generation, Chu Yuheng! ”
