Chapter Twenty-Three: The Most Beautiful Among the Dying

"What now?" I asked.

"Go home, do you have any other good ideas?" He pointed to Chu Zhilan beside me, "You, go and see how it burns." ”

"What are you looking at me like that? Aren't you a martial artist, don't you go to me? Or let your kidney-deficient brother go? ”

I want to throw up again.

Chu Zhilan came out of the ruins and threw out a short sharp knife, "I found it at the burnt head of the bed in the back room, and it was pierced on the bed board, maybe he found that there was no one in the house, so he burned the yard." ”

I picked up the dart, which was quite sharp, "Set fire to no one?" What is it? ”

Li Yang smiled: "It's not your cousin, and I don't know where I offended a second stunned person, and I assassinated him all night, and I didn't even hurt a single hair of your brother, and I was annoyed and angry." He leaned forward, "Hey, did you see the mule?" ”

I laughed angrily, "When do you still want that mule?" ”

Chu Zhilan: "I didn't see it, I guess I ran away." ”

Li Yang's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said that he must find the mule, so he went to chase the mule.

I picked up the darts on the ground, seven or eight in all, took a handkerchief and put them away. "You already know his identity?" I asked.

"Yes, I thought he knew it all, but now it seems that you, senior brother, ......"

It's really stupid, I think so too.

"Is the person who wants to kill you really not the murderer of Mr. Chang?"

Chu Zhilan shook his head.

"Yunjiang turned out to be so unpeaceful."

In the distance, there was the sound of a mule chirping, reluctantly, and it probably didn't expect its freedom to end so soon.

"Ah Lan, I have my task, this is a responsibility, if I don't do it, I won't be at ease in my life."

"Hmm."

"You have so many enemies, and so many people come to seek revenge, Chu Zhilan, you actually have a lot to do."

"Hmm."

"Then let's not run away, we'll go home after doing these things, I still want to go back to Bailing Mountain, I still want to eat pheasants, let's be honest with you, I also want to go to the casinos in the villages and towns."

"That won't work."

“……”

In the distance, the mule led by Li Yang was coquettish again.

"Do I really have a few years to live after I get poisoned?" I looked at Chu Zhilan's eyes, and his eyes never dodged.

He seemed a little lost, and replied in a low voice: "Hmm. ”

"That's enough." I smiled and raised my arm to smack him, "Hey, don't do that, didn't you say you're always with me, that's enough." ”

"I don't dare to say that I will be able to cure your poison, I'm afraid I can't, but I will definitely do my best not to let you ......" He wanted to stop talking, and finally said: "I won't let you have anything." ”

"You just won't let me die so early......"

Li Yang, who had been pulling the mule hard, finally returned, and he pointed to the ruins and ashes and said, "Oh, the red sea you talked about has reappeared. ”

The glow of the sun envelops the entire mountain, which is really beautiful.

"Little junior brother, do you know what this mountain peak is called?" Li Yang asked proudly beside him, "Hey, since Brother Chu Wen is from Yunjiang, do you know what this peak is called?" ”

Chu Zhilan was obviously too lazy to pay attention to him, I was a little curious, but in order not to brush off Chu Zhilan's cold attitude, he didn't speak.

This made Senior Brother Li feel embarrassed, and he had no choice but to answer himself: "This is the first peak of our candle, the candle yin peak." His tone was full of pride, "Does this view live up to its name?" ”

"It's really as bright and red as a candle, but the sunset will always make people feel bleak and nostalgic, and it is really not as vigorous as the sunrise and morning view."

Li Yang laughed at me and said, "Want to see the sunrise? It's okay, the little junior brother can get up early first, let's talk about it, sleep until three poles on the sun and watch the sun, aren't you afraid of being blind? ”

I was very uncomfortable listening to this taunt, not because his words made me unhappy, but because I had a feeling of déjà vu, but I couldn't remember it, as if something was blocked in my body, making my whole body unobstructed, and I couldn't say how uncomfortable it was. Chu Zhilan kept staring at my face, and the sword came out of its sheath without saying a word. Li Yang instantly lost color, pulling the mule and muttering as he walked: "It's quite short." ”

"What's wrong with you?"

Looking at Chu Zhilan's concerned eyes, I calmed down and felt it carefully for a while, and confirmed: "It may be that I have eaten less vegetables in the past few days when I have been out, and it is not possible." ”

"It doesn't work?"

"Constipation." I said firmly: "It must be, it's okay, I'll go back and cook some cold soup and drink it." ”

…………

When I returned to the medical hall, the biggest difficulty was that I couldn't pay to the curator Master without buying Hongjing. Red Plum is precious, and it is extremely difficult to preserve medicine, Mr. Chang Bai on the Candle Yin Peak is a perennial Red Scene supplier in the medical hall, not so much a pharmacist as a medicine picker. Chang Bai traveled throughout Yunjiang and knew a lot about the growth of wild medicinal materials, and even accepted many apprentices, often with a large number of rare medicinal materials in his hands. He is an eccentric person, he values his eyes, and he can administer drugs and sell them.

"The curator is an old man who is sincere, Mr. Chang has been selling medicinal materials to the Zongren Pavilion, but unfortunately the curator has been old in the past few years, and he can't go that far, so he sent us there, and Mr. Chang can't get used to us young people, and often makes it difficult." Li Yang explained Yin to me along the way, and Chu Zhilan followed silently.

"Then isn't this Mr. Chang the person who pressed the good medicine and didn't sell it as the curator said."

Li Yang was stopped by my question, thought for a long time, and suddenly said, "That's right! ”

I said, "It seems that this person is really strange, and he actually has eyes for a person who thinks completely differently from himself. ”

"But this is not what we need to care about, what we need to think about is how not to be scolded by the curator, and how to tell the curator that Mr. Chang was killed."

I looked at Li Yang with a sad face all the way, and asked: "As a person who is the king of mercy, you don't do things for the king all day long, but it is really like a Lang Zhong who worries about the affairs of the hospital every day." ”

Li Yang was actually anxious after hearing my words, "What nonsense, the medical hall you are trying to enter is embarrassed to say that I am a conscientious and good man." ”

"Then you don't do anything for Bai Tingyu?"

"Childe's affairs naturally have to be taken to heart, who said that people can't do two things at the same time?"

"Then tell me what's going on in King Min's mansion?"

"Cut, it's still my words. Actually, it's not that I can't tell you, but I really don't know what hostage you asked me, the Min Wangfu is so big, how can I know if there is someone hidden in it? ”

Then he lowered his voice, "But I can tell you that King Min is not sick. ”

I interrupted him, "I know, I saw you cooking a big cold soup in the kitchen. ”

He asked incredulously, "When did you see that?" ”

"Just the time you were scolded by the curator, does the curator know that you are doing things for King Mercy?"

He shook his head, "I don't know, the curator doesn't care about these little things." ”

I think back to the old man's obsession with medicine, and I guess it was too.

Entering the city, Chu Zhilan, who had not spoken on the side, suddenly stopped, he grabbed me and said, "It's inconvenient for me to show my face when I enter the city, you and this guy go back to the hospital first." ”

I grabbed him, "What about you?" ”

Chu Zhilan's cold eyes were a little loose, "I'm fine anywhere, remember, if you have any plans or actions, you have to tell me, and I will help you." He added, "Whatever." ”

"Then be careful."

I looked at Chu Zhilan's figure leaving, and I was still a little reluctant. Li Yang was yin and yang on the side, "What 'this guy'?" It's not like I don't have a name, I don't think he's a cousin you haven't seen for many years, but like a young couple. ”

I sank my voice: "What are you talking nonsense? ”

He said with disgust: "You don't have to speak with your voice suppressed, your voice is ugly enough, and no matter how low your voice is, it can't hide your thin and thin body like a little girl." ”

I scolded him hundreds of times in my heart and didn't want to pay attention to him.

When I returned to the hospital, Director Yu was checking the account books, and I went up to him and said that I had a headache and went back to the upstairs bedroom and pretended to sleep. Just leave Li Yang alone to explain to the master. Sure enough, it didn't take long for me to hear Master's angry scolding and Li Yang's low apology.

"Aren't you going to get through?"

I was so frightened that I got up from the bed, only to see Chu Zhilan leaning against my bed with a long sword in his hand.

"Aren't you gone? How did you come back so soon. ”

He frowned, "I said I couldn't show my face in the city, I didn't say I couldn't come to Zongren Pavilion, what's the matter?" You don't want me to come? ”

I smiled awkwardly, "How so?" I just didn't expect you to come over so quickly, and as soon as you came up, you asked me questions that I couldn't understand. ”

"Did you get through?"

“……”

I finally felt it with my heart, and the uncomfortable feeling I had before was gone.

"It seems to work."

"That's good."

There was silence......

He stood there staring at me, and soon my mental defenses were repulsed. I fell down on the mattress and buried my face, "Why do you keep looking at me?" ”

"Does Elder Yu know that you are a woman?"

It turned out to be a question, I turned my face sideways, stuck it on the quilt and nodded, "Well, I was discovered by him the first day I came to him." ”

"So he knows who you are?"

"No, I lied." I sat up from the bed, "We're back too, I didn't lie to you, I really wanted to find someone to carry the candle, I want to enter the Mansion of the King of Mercy, you said you would help me, right?" ”

Chu Zhilan nodded decisively, "But who are you looking for?" ”

Who to look for? Find my flesh and blood relatives, find my close friends.

"Someone who is important to me." I lay on my stomach with my hands on my stomach. "Chu Zhilan, how old did you say the three-month-old child was?"

He sat on the edge of the couch with his back to me, "When I found you down the mountain, you had already had a miscarriage. ”

I disagreed, "I know, I'm not talking about myself. ”

He continued, "I'm afraid three months is not that big. ”

I smiled: "Yes, it's no wonder that neither Qi Yun nor I found out." ”

Chu Zhilan put down the long sword in his hand and began to take off his boots by the bed......

It's going a little fast.

I took the robe he had taken off, "You're going to sleep here?" ”

He lay down in his middle coat, "I didn't bring any money with me when I went out, and I had nowhere to go." He reached out and fumbled around the pillow for a moment, "What did you put so the bedside?" ”

I didn't stop him, he was holding the jade crown and purse I had hidden at the head of the bed.

"This purse looks a little familiar." He checked it again, "But there are ...... numbers in here."

I snatched the purse from his hand and put it aside, "Oh yes, you see this jade crown I bought for you, how suitable it is for you, try it?" ”

He held the jade crown, "Bought it for me?" I nodded repeatedly.

"Right for me?"

"Of course," I thumbs up, "yes." "I remembered that there were a few more custom-made clothes, all of which I thought were novel, and I couldn't help but make a few more, and I wanted to wear them to show off, only a cyan brocade robe embroidered with silver auspicious clouds and ruyi dark patterns was made a little bigger by the tailor master.

"You wear this, wear this jade crown, it must be extremely good-looking!"

Chu Zhilan asked, "So you're spending money to buy me clothes?" ”

I nodded, "Of course, I found you to look good in teal." However, this one is not sleeve-bound, and it may not be convenient for you to use a sword.

"Someone once told me that teal was right for me."

I followed his words and flattered: "Yes, my vision is very accurate, which means that the vision of the Yin public is bright. ”

"Here, put it on!" Without saying a word, I'll dress him. In fact, when I was so big, only others dressed me, and I never dressed others.

Chu Zhilan probably didn't expect me to be so strong in action, and I was a little resistant, in short, I was in a hurry in the process.

I vigorously pressed him on the seat, and I have to say that my vision is indeed unique, the jade crown is plain, and the wide-sleeved Tsing Yi is elegant, which is really beautiful to me.

"What's wrong? Isn't it pretty? ”

I immediately covered his mouth, because it was his voice that mattered most. On weekdays, he holds a sword in his hand and has a cold and solemn face, which is not commensurate with his warm and jade-like voice, so he doesn't feel anything. Now he was dressed in a dignified manner, and he sat there with me pulling his hair and crowning him, and the sound that lingered in my ears enchanted me.

He pulled my hand away, "Is the scar on my face inappropriate for this dress?" ”

I immediately shook my head, "No." I crouched down and held his head in my hands to look closely: it was still good-looking, really good-looking! Scar is resolute, but it is not obtrusive in his gentle outfit.

"Soft with rigidity, hidden needles in the cotton, very good-looking!"

He smiled, "Is it a boast that there is a needle hidden in the cotton?" ”

He smiled, the smile lines at the corners of his eyes unfolded, I couldn't stand it anymore, no way, I admit that I have been lustful since I was a child, and I once told my father that the only requirement for choosing a son-in-law that I can't change is that I must be good-looking, and everything else can be discussed.

"I remember you didn't say that when you first met me."

I retorted, "At that time, half of your face was hairy, who knows what you look like?" ”

He removed the jade crown from his head, "But when I first saw you, I thought you were good-looking." ”

I didn't believe it, "I'm going to die when you see me." ”

"That's the best-looking of the dying people."

The original budding spring heart was thrown to the ground, and I broke Chu Zhilan's face and hit it towards his smooth forehead. The pain made my eyes watery and I sat on the ground.

I couldn't see anything, but I heard Chu Zhilan holding back a smile beside me, he held me in his arms, pressed my injured head, and laughed while rubbing it.

I wiped my tears and hugged his head again.

"You're still here?" The smile lines in the corners of Chu Zhilan's eyes were about to fly into the sky.

That's right, I'll still come, see that I don't wipe your saliva!
