"Ruoying, the ghost hand Wei Yang is dead."

After hearing this, the man named Ruoying looked up at the sky and said to the people behind him, "Unexpected, reasonable. ”

"Then Wei Yang once threatened you, if he dies, he will definitely let you be buried together, he is a man who does what he says, in this case, do you still have a countermeasure?"

"Countermeasures?" Ruoying turned around, and his eyes under the pitch-black mask were dim. "I'm dead, so I don't have to think about anything."

"Ruoying?"

"Okay, Cui Zhao, Childe has a new task to be assigned, and it's not yet time for you and me to think about our own life and death." Ruoying stretched out her hand and was about to pat her partner's shoulder, but she took it back for some reason.

Cui Zhao took the initiative to hold Ruoying's withdrawn hand, "Ruoying, promise me, don't do stupid things." ”

Ruoying smiled, "With you, I won't." ”

Li Langzhong, who came back from the Minwang Mansion, went to the kitchen to decoct the medicine again, I put down the medicinal herbs I was holding in my hand and followed him into the kitchen. Ever since I got acquainted with the Yakushi Lang Zhong in the Zongren Pavilion, I began to look for opportunities to find out information about the Min Wang's Mansion. It's a pity that the rules of the Zongren Pavilion do not allow any pharmacist or Lang Zhong to disclose the news and illness of the patients he has taken over, and I once asked Li Langzhong about it, but Senior Brother Li, who is not in good shape on weekdays, has shown unusual shrewdness and intelligence in the face of key issues.

My plans were put on hold, but my study tasks were getting heavier and heavier, and now the situation reminded me that if I didn't take the initiative, I might really have to be an apprentice for the rest of my life at Zongrenkan, who had no medical talent.

I pretended to take a packet of medicinal herbs into the kitchen, pretending to decoct the medicine, but I saw Li Langzhong carelessly holding a puff fan in the fire, and the fire was about to go out......

"Senior brother, are you tired? Why don't I decoct the medicine for you? ”

"Yo, junior brother Chu Qing, no, no," he yawned, "I watched the show a little late yesterday, and I don't have any energy today, this is not a special medicine, just decoction, it's okay." ”

I was unwilling, and was about to speak, when Director Yu roared in the foyer: "Li Yang! Come here for me, you kid! ”

Senior Brother Li ran out as if he had lost his soul, and I hurriedly took the opportunity to open the medicine jar. Bamboo, hemp nut, hemp winter, celery root......

What's that? Isn't this the big cold soup I had on my first day at the middle school! Is His Royal Highness King Min, who is too sick, just on fire? What about funny? Bai Tingyu, can you serve dim sum when you are acting? I closed the jar, and it seemed that nothing had been gained from it.

"This red scene has all gone bad! How many times have I said this? Every time you take the red scene, you have to wrap it carefully with brocade cloth, look, even Chu Qing has no problem with taking the medicine three times, what's the matter with you? ”

I was mentioned standing in the foyer, neither advancing nor retreating, in fact, I knew that there were two times when I forgot to seal the red scene, and Li Langzhong saw it and reminded me.

"Curator, I watched the play too late last night, and my mind is very confused today, but the red snail pharmacist is not good at talking, and it is time to go to the medical hall to enter the medicinal materials, this time it is my fault, I will go to buy medicine, curator, don't be angry, I promise not to be idle this time, and bring the medicine back to you." Senior Brother Li nodded while carefully taking the red scene in the curator's hand, "Oh, I'll see, it's all dark!" Sure enough, I can't ask for it. Look, curator, it's all like this, so bring me some water to drink! Don't waste it! ”

Curator Yu kicked Senior Brother Li's buttocks, "You've been in shape like this!" Drink can't kill you! ”

Li Langzhong took the opportunity to hide behind me, "It just so happens that junior brother Chu Qing hasn't gone out to buy medicinal herbs yet, how about going with me?" ”

The master was so anxious that he blew his beard and glared: "You can go alone!" What is Chu Qing called? ”

I knew at a glance that this was not a good errand, and just as I was about to refuse, Li Langzhong whispered in my ear: "Come with me, and I will tell you what you have always wanted to know." ”

Damn, you want to threaten me with this?

"Master, what is the purchase of medicinal herbs? Sounds so interesting, can I go? I want to go! ”

I suppressed my urge to kick Li Yang off the mule, and said softly, "Senior brother, you see, it's been walking for most of the day, and it's my turn to ride the mule, right?" ”

Li Yang was unmoved after hearing this, "Junior Brother Chu Qing, I am going to lose my head when I reveal the news of the Compassion Palace, Senior Brother, I just want to sit on a mule on the rugged mountain road before I die, and this little wish will not fulfill me?" ”

I smiled and said, "Senior Brother Li, don't laugh, I'm just curious about what kind of person the King of Compassion of Yunjiang is, and what kind of place is the Mansion of the King of Compassion with candles." If you won't tell me, how can I force you? ”

"Ahh

How do I know this? Isn't it procuring medicinal herbs? It's not picking medicinal herbs, why do you want to go into the mountains? Li Yang is fine, he has been sitting on the mule, but I have been pulling the mule and walking on foot, when did I suffer such a sin?

The mule was also a squeamish man, and the mountain road was a little steep and he didn't want to go at all, so anxious that I and a mule stared dryly. I pulled it, and it was unwillingly panting and screaming, but it wouldn't leave.

"Chu Qing, did you hear that?"

I was too busy with the mule to reply. "What?"

"It's scolding you, do you hear me?"

I loosened the leash in my hand, "Really?" I didn't hear that. But it doesn't matter, if it doesn't leave, I'll slaughter it, and it won't be able to curse anymore. I pulled out the dagger I had always carried with me, drew its scabbard, and the blade struck in front of the mule's pigeon-egg-sized eyeball.

Li Yang and the mule retreated in shock.

"Look, aren't you leaving?" I withdrew my dagger and smiled at Li Yang.

Li Yang got down from the mule neatly, "Senior Brother Chu Qing, I see that you are also tired, come, sit for you, hehehe." ”

"Then I'll thank Senior Brother!"

I was just about to ride the mule, when a whistle grazed my ears, Li Yang screamed, and I subconsciously held the dagger in my arms.

When he came back to his senses, Li Yang had already fallen to the ground. Half of his body landed on the side of the cliff of the mountain road, and he was about to fall. I didn't have time to rush to pull him. And he saw an arrow piercing his crown, and the crown of his hair was torn, and his hair fell down.

"You're not dead?"

My body shook, and the hand holding Li Yang's arm almost let go. I've heard this voice in a tavern outside of Candle City.

"A good man spares his life! We ordinary people, if we want money but no money, we have no power, we only have a cheap life, I hope that the good man will do well, let us have a way to live! ”

I held Li Yang's hand tightly, and I didn't dare to move even though he struggled and begged for mercy, for fear that he would fall. "Senior brother, can you come up first and then beg for mercy, otherwise we will fall to death before we are killed by this 'good man'."

"Little Brother Chu Qing is right, that, a good man, you wait for me to come up first, and then we can have a good chat."

I held my breath and pulled hard, and Li Yang finally climbed up. The next moment, I was stopped by him and thrown onto the mule.

"Let's go."

The stubborn mule became unusually obedient for some reason, spread its hooves and ran deep into the dense forest, and I turned around to find that Li Yang was no longer visible.

I'll go, what's going on! Isn't this a drama where a hero saves beauty and sacrifices himself to protect his beloved? Senior Brother Li, why can you make such a sacrifice to me, a "man"?

In the short time that I was running for my life on a mule, I quickly thought back to my days at the Zongren Pavilion and suddenly realized that I seemed to have overlooked some important details, especially about Li Yang. Could it be that my sense of identity with my own manhood obscures me from seeing Li Yang's feelings for me?

That's damning! As a woman, isn't this deceiving other people's feelings? This is good, not only deceived people's feelings, but also caused others to pay for their lives.

Before I could repent of what I had realized and what I had done, there was another whistle, and I lay on the back of the mule and did not dare to look up, for fear that my head would be poked through a large hole by a flying arrow.

When the whistle stopped, I looked up tentatively, only to find a man in black holding a long sword following behind me, and I could feel the murderous aura of his body even if I couldn't see his face clearly.

At this moment, I was scared to the point of fear. This is not a rebel in a rebellion, not a thief in a palace rebellion, not an enemy army in a battle. This is a pure charlatan killer who unilaterally crushes me. If I fall into his hands, I will be cut into mud. I am to him like an ant at the feet of a giant.

There was another whistle from far and near, but I didn't see the man in black with an arrow. The mule finally collapsed from exhaustion, and I fell into the thick foliage and rolled a few times. Seriously, I've lost the desire to live, and I feel like I'm going to die.

My cheeks itched, but I reached out and felt that one hand was sticky and bloody. Fear of death did not come, there was only a vague fight in front of the eyes.

The man in black retreated under the intensive moves, and the original murderous aura on his face dissipated, leaving only the anxiety of the opponent's pressing attack.

An inexplicable wind blew, rolling up the leaves and soil on the ground, and I covered my eyes with my sleeves. The sound of the fight died down as the wind stopped.

Lowering my sleeves, I saw a pair of unfamiliar eyes, a familiar face.

I pointed to my cheek, "Isn't this a bit excessive?" ”

He put away his sword and walked slowly towards me, the remnants of the leaves rustling under his feet. He squatted in front of me and had collected all his murderous energy.

The wound on his cheek was caressed and even more itchy.

"Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, it's itchy, or you can scratch me." I laughed when I said that, and I don't know why, but I couldn't stop it.

"I'm sorry I didn't get you a fur cape."

I stopped laughing, "That's not going to work, you promise me." ”

"Can't blame me, there's no red fox in that place I went to."

"Why not? Isn't it said that there are a lot of them? ”

"It's almost all hunted by people."

"It's just that people have killed you."

Chu Zhilan nodded: "Yes." ”

"Then we don't want it."

"Okay."

I pointed to my face again, "But you haven't explained this to me yet, can you not be so fierce in the next fight, you are saving me, how can you fight with me." ”

"I'm not saving you, I didn't recognize you at first."

I was shocked, "You mean you were there to kill that man in the first place, and you didn't care about me at all?" ”

Chu Zhilan: "......"

I understand, if it was someone else who was chased and killed just now, in order to be able to kill the man in black, Chu Zhilan would not care about the life of another person.

"What if I just died?"

I hoped to see a hint of inner turmoil beneath his calm exterior, but it didn't come true. He took me into his arms and tightened me so tightly that I couldn't see his face.

"It's okay, I'll accompany you, don't be afraid."

I wrapped my arms around his waist and hugged him back, "I'm dead, how can you accompany ......" "Accompany me?" ”

Realizing the meaning of Chu Zhilan's words, I suddenly realized: This is Chu Zhilan, this man is so terrifying. But what does it matter?

"Then I still don't want to die," I suddenly remembered Li Yang, whose life and death were uncertain, "It's too bastard to sacrifice other people's lives for me, I don't want this to happen again." ”
