"Doctor Wu, is the pharmacy open today?" Outside the door, a thin man with a somewhat gloomy face whispered.

It is said that half of the face is only because the other half is blocked by an iron mask, and the corners are not completely covered, revealing a burn scar.

Wu Wei couldn't help but look at it twice.

As one of the few doctors in Dazhai, there are many people who know Wu Wei, and there are not many faces that Wu Wei can remember.

Confirming that he didn't have any impression of this person, he arched his hand and said, "Brother Taibai is here for a trip." Today, the snow is clear, and the pharmacy is temporarily closed. ”

The gloomy man nodded, not showing impatience because of the rejection, groping in his animal skin coat for a while, and then expelling a hanging tribute coin: "Doctor Wu, I am the Yu Li of the Nursery Hall, I take the liberty of disturbing, I want to ask Doctor Wu to prescribe fifty pairs of requiem and nourishing decoction, this thousand tribute coins, have you seen enough?" ”

Hearing the words "Nursery Hall", Wu Wei was stunned at first, and then a fragmented impression of this place appeared in his mind.

In my memory, it seems to be a good hall in Dazhai that specializes in adopting and raising orphans, but it has always been unknown, and I haven't heard much about it, so I didn't expect it to be so generous as soon as I made a move.

He shook his head and said, "That's enough, you don't need so much." ”

"In that case, then please take it from Dr. Wu. If you don't accept it, Lord Gaochang will blame me. The person who claimed to be Yu Li smiled palely, unable to tell whether it was a joke or a serious remark.

Wu Wei thought for a while, took this string of heavy tribute coins, and said in a deep voice: "Since Brother Yu has said so, then I will accept it first, and if the Nursery Hall needs other medicines later, it can still be deducted according to this." ”

Yu Li smiled slightly: "Okay." Doctor Wu, I'm going to leave the village soon, and I may not be able to come back for a while. He also asked Dr. Wu to deliver the medicine to the nursery within three days. ”

"Well said." Wu Wei nodded in agreement.

Yu Li didn't say much, and after explaining, he stepped on the snow and left.

Looking at the emaciated back of this person gradually moving away, Wu Wei leaned on the doorrail thoughtfully, and there was always a strange feeling in his heart.

I can't tell you what it feels like.

He said that he was going to leave the village immediately, and he could come and go so freely, could it be a believer in the great god of the remnant yin?

As for Lord Gaochang in his mouth, who is it?

is respected by the villagers as an adult, and it seems that there is only Lu Yuansheng, the owner of Dazhai Village, in his impression.

"Gaochang" is unheard of.

With a full stomach full of questions, Wu Wei shook his head and locked the door again.

In any case, Yu Li came to seek medical treatment, he only needed to do this part well, and there was nothing else to worry about.

Following.

From the morning the weather was a bit overcast, and it seemed like it was going to rain.

Wu Wei had the intention to send the medicine to the nursery as soon as possible, but there were always people who came to ask for medicine, and it was difficult to get out.

In the afternoon, after finishing his work, Wu Wei glanced at the lead clouds in the sky, which were rolling and surging, pressing heavily as if within reach, indicating that a downpour could come at any time.

"Gotta get going."

He quickly packed up the decoction and prepared to go out.

According to a simple map of Dazhai handed down by the family, the foot is faster, and you can rush back before evening in about half an hour.

......

The Nursery is located on the shady side of Eagle's Beak Mountain, a secluded place away from the core settlement of Dazhai.

Walking along the mountain road, you will soon be left behind by the dotted farmers on both sides.

However, the mountain road became narrower and narrower, and the farmland slowly turned into wasteland, and the trees on both sides became more and more luxuriant.

Although he knew that the location of the nursery hall was remote, he didn't expect it to be so remote, which made Wu Wei mutter.

In particular, the mountain road ahead was overgrown with weeds, and few people seemed to have walked it, which made him a little surprised.

I carefully recalled the map in my mind to confirm that the mountain road in front of me did lead to the nursery, but I gritted my teeth and continued to walk with a little bit of daylight.

After a stick of incense.

Wu Wei, who was in a hurry, wiped his sweat, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

In front of it is an open valley, and behind the towering and tall stone archway, stands a stone building covering a large area.

I think this is the Nursery.

Wu Wei was accustomed to seeing the low wooden houses in Dazhai, and it was the first time he had seen such a tall and exquisite stone building, which surprised him.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the whole nursery was hidden in the shadow of Eagle's Beak Mountain, which seemed extremely quiet and deep, as if there was no trace of life.

Is there no one in there?

A thought suddenly popped up in Wu Wei's heart.

But he was immediately denied by himself.

Unless there is too much money to spend on the gift, and he deliberately entertains himself, he will not be allowed to send fifty pairs of requiem-nourishing decoction here.

Licking his lips, he forcibly suppressed a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and said secretly: "Forget it, even if this place is really deserted, as long as I deliver the medicine as promised, it will not be considered a dishonest person." ”

Just as he was about to pull his legs, he suddenly saw the heavy-looking door of the nursery suddenly and slowly open, and a dark figure rushed out from inside.

When he looked at it, it was a woman with no clothes covering her body and her hair scattered.

She looked so flustered that she stumbled to the ground, and could only use her hands and feet to crawl in a comical position.

"My son...... What about my son? My son! My son! ”

Although Wu Wei couldn't see her face clearly, her desperate behavior and heart-rending screams made his heart tremble, and he almost wanted to throw down the potion and run away.

The next moment, a man eight feet tall, with a burly physique, covered in a black robe, strode out from behind the door, and in a few steps caught up with the woman, lifting the woman up like a chicken.

Wu Wei was still hiding in the bushes and grass, unconsciously holding his breath when he saw this, and a thought inexplicably flashed in his heart, hoping that the black-robed man would not notice him.

In the hands of the man, the woman was still struggling in vain, but soon there was no movement, and the place returned to deathly quiet.

The black-robed man was about to enter the door, when he suddenly stopped walking and slowly turned around.

"Where did the wild boy come from, who dared to trespass at will? Do you know what this place is? ”

The man's voice crossed the vast night and sounded in Wu Wei's ears like thunder.

Where else is there here?

Wu Wei's heart was cold, knowing that now was not the time to be clever, he took a deep breath, leaned out of the grass with a strong spirit, and walked a few steps forward: "In Xia Wuwei, he is a doctor practicing medicine in Dazhai." Commissioned by the Nursery Hall, he brought fifty pairs of decoctions to calm the soul and nourish the spirits. ”

"Doctor?" The black-robed man repeated it calmly, unable to hear any emotion, and then fell silent.

After Wu Wei lowered his hand and waited patiently for a moment, the black-robed man said, "Come in." ”

After all, they were the last three words he wanted to hear.

With a deep sigh in his heart, he walked slowly towards the gate with heavy steps.

It was already dark, and after stepping into the nursery, the vision was even darker.

The black-robed man and the woman he had caught were nowhere to be seen, and in front of him was a deep corridor with many rooms on either side, and at the end of it was an upward staircase.

There was a smell of dampness and musty in the air, and only the sound of one's own breathing could be heard quietly.

With a bang, the door behind him closed automatically.
