Wangfu, Xu Xin's residence.

Walking through a small courtyard, Xu Changshou walked towards Xu Xin's residence with a cloth strip wrapped in butter paper, which was essentially a variety of dried Chinese medicine.

Xu Changshou first knocked on the door, saw that the person was not there, and then shouted a few times into the house:

"Girl? Girl, I'll live a long life! ”

No one agreed.

In a moment, Rouge returned with a broom.

Seeing Xu Changshou standing at the door, Rouge stared at him suspiciously.

"Why is Childe standing at the door?"

Xu Changshou asked Rouge, "Miss is not in the room?" ”

Rouge suddenly put down the wooden basin in his hand in a panic, and then jogged until he ran to the door of Xu Xin's room, knocked on the door hard, and then shouted a few times: "Miss? Miss? ”

Xu Changshou immediately instructed the rouge beside him to hurriedly mobilize the family to find it.

Xu Changshou immediately put down the medicinal herbs in his hand and shouted around the courtyard door. Rouge called a few family members to look for them in the palace.

Xu Changshou's face was suddenly covered with cold sweat, Xu Xin is his sister and his only relative in this world, there can be no mistakes, not to mention that Miss Xu was born blind, if something happens, Xu Changshou definitely doesn't dare to imagine the consequences.

Xu Changshou shouted in the palace, and the family members were also looking around.

Suddenly, a housekeeper ran over. His face was full of smoky marks, and he looked as if he had just come out of a coal kiln.

"Childe, there's a fire in the firewood room!"

Jia Ding said breathlessly, Xu Changshou hurriedly rushed towards the firewood room, and thick smoke drifted over the palace.

The firewood room of the palace is in a relatively remote room, and the maids and women usually go in and out to rectify the meals inside and outside the palace.

Smoke drifted out of the oil-paper window, and coughing was heard in the room.

Xu Changshou heard the sound and moved, ran to the front of the firewood room, kicked open the door, and then saw Xu Xin who fell to the ground and coughed.

Xu Changshou hurriedly rushed over to pick Xu Xin up, and the twenty-eight girl was paralyzed and weak, probably because of too much smoke and dust.

"Quick, I'll send Miss back to her room." Xu Changshou shouted eagerly at Rouge.

Oh, Xu Changshou helped Xu Xin to the bed, leaning on the edge of the bed, she coughed non-stop, and Xu Changshou covered her with a quilt.

When he was young, Rouge sent a bowl of water, Xu Changshou took the bowl of water and fed her with a spoon to drink, but the twenty-eight girl was always in a coma, unconscious, and flowed down her red lips before she could feed it.

"Rouge, open the doors and windows." After Xu Changshou finished speaking, he helped Xu Xin to lie flat on the bed. Then I saw Xu Changshou unfastening the button of the gown that Xu Xin was wearing on his body, leaving a snow-white single coat, the purpose of which was to make the clothes loose and easy to breathe, and then Xu Changshou ordered everyone to spread out so that the air could flow more smoothly.

After a long time, the twenty-eight girl finally stopped coughing, Xu Changshou reached out and approached her nose, breathing calmly and evenly, and the young man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Xin was awake for a moment, Xu Changshou helped her up again and leaned on the edge of the bed, and Xu Changshou deliberately put a soft pillow behind her back.

"Girl? Sister? ”

Xu Changshou shouted in a low voice, and the twenty-eight girl responded hoarsely.

"What's going on? How did you go to the firewood room? Regarding her brother's question, Xu Xin hesitated and did not speak.

Rouge came to the bed,

"Miss is here to make porridge for her son!"

"Rouge!" Xu Xin shouted and tried to reach out and grab her, but unfortunately her blind eyes didn't allow her to do so!

Hearing this, Xu Changshou couldn't help but have some pain in his eyes.

"Rouge, didn't you take care of Miss?" Xu Changshou turned to blame his own girl. Rouge covered her face with tears streaming down her face, hugging Xu Xin's arms, Xu Xin hugged her tightly, and the master and servant snuggled together, causing pity.

"If you want to blame me, blame me, anyway, I begged for rouge, I just want to make a bowl of porridge for my brother with my own hands! I know that this family can't accommodate me, and I also know that my brother is responsible for many things alone, I'm blind, I'm just a burden to my brother......"

Xu Xin couldn't stop sobbing as she spoke.

Rouge got up and walked out of the room, closing the creaking door.

The room left a haggard twenty-eight girl and a silent Xu Changshou.

Xu Changshou pondered for a moment, feeling as if something was missing in his heart, he only knew that he wanted to earn more silver, let the brother and sister live a good life, cure his sister's eye disease, and then take her away from the Wang family, find a secluded place, away from his aunt's preaching, only companionship and waiting!

Oh, the young man hugged the haggard girl into his arms.

"Don't worry! Brother will definitely find a way to cure the girl's eyes. If Xin'er has something on her mind in the future, don't hide it, remember to tell your brother and me! ”

Xu Xin nodded, snuggled in her brother's arms, since her father and mother passed away due to the epidemic, the brother and sister have not hugged like this for a long time, it can be regarded as a relief!

When he was young, Xu Changshou didn't speak again, he helped Xu Xin to lie down, and then walked out of the door by himself and practiced swords in the courtyard.

"The first layer of the royal road swordsmanship, Phantom Step."

The misty sword qi enveloped his body, and after teleporting several positions, he withdrew his sword blade, lifted a pot of liquor on the ground, took two sips, and then practiced martial arts on his own.

Half an hour passed, and Rouge helped Xu Xin out, and Xu Xin sat on the steps in front of the door. Although she couldn't see her brother's sword dance, she could vaguely feel the vividness of the swordsmanship.

The world is beautiful, only family affection can not be disappointed!

The blade of the sword pierced through the sky, and the sound of the scabbard slapping the air was heard, Xu Xin hadn't heard her brother dance the sword like this for a long time.

When she was a child, the eldest lady of the Xu family often sat on the steps in front of the door like this, listening to her father teach her brother to learn the sword, but it was a wooden sword at that time, and she didn't want to change it to a real sword blade now, and her voice became more and more crisp.

Oh, Xu Changshou stopped practicing swords, held his breath, sat cross-legged, tried to strike while the iron was hot, operated internal force, tried to break through the shackles of the ninth rank of the martial artist, and saw if he could enter the eighth rank, but unfortunately the qi was quickly broken before it reached the acupuncture points of the whole body.

Xu Changshou felt that it should be because of the bronze small tower, the tower owner was limited by the breakthrough of the small tower, if the small tower could not break through to the second layer of the bronze rank, it meant that he would also stop at the ninth rank of the martial artist and completely become a waste of firewood.

But Xu Changshou doesn't plan to give up, no matter what, it's just a matter of time, Xu Xin's eye disease, his future livelihood, how to survive as a traverser in this feudal society that regards human rights as dung, and always beware of monster infestation, forcing him to keep getting stronger.

Xu Changshou instantly felt that his head hurt, could it be that Xiaota was about to escape again? Apparently it was an even more powerful force that stimulated his cranial nerves.

After pondering for a moment, this power seemed to come from the boxing book he had obtained from inside the small tower a few days ago, and the relevant content of the boxing book suddenly appeared in Xu Changshou's mind.

"Enter my demon tower, practice my fist, set the mountains and seas with half a fist, and punish the demons with one punch."

"Fist technique?"

Xu Changshou was puzzled at first, and then a string of golden villains appeared in his pupils, and they seemed to be showing a set of flowing boxing techniques.

The boxing method is sonorous, a punch sets the mountains and seas, swings the punch, it is a small world, the momentum is like a rainbow, the boxing method, there is both the majesty of the fire, and the rigid and soft changes of the flowing water, looking at this golden man boxing, Xu Changshou has a slight feeling, this boxing method is even far away from the swordsmanship passed down from his ancestors.

It's not enough to just look at it, Xu Changshou put down the sword, and also learned the appearance of the villain in his mind:

Punch, swing, close.

"Creation fist, creation of heaven and earth, rigid and soft changes, swallowing mountains and rivers!" Xu Changshou's ear came from an old man's voice.

Then he followed the guidance of the golden man in his head and started punching.

The back side steps to close the fist, stride out the punch, the leg method, the footwork, and the boxing method are one, but in Xu Changshou's one-and-a-half moves of boxing, the action is slightly stiff, probably because of the just practice, Xu Changshou is not very used to it, after all, for him now, the realm is too low means that the shackles of cultivation will have a greater impact.

Oh, Xu Changshou stopped boxing, and was about to pick up the saber on the ground when a family member ran into the courtyard gate.

"Oh no, Madame is sick!"

The family stopped in front of Xu Changshou to report breathlessly.

Xu Changshou glanced at Jiading, who swallowed and added: "Mrs. Fangcai came back from burning incense in the temple, but unexpectedly fell in front of the gate of the house, and the handyman guarding the door saw it, so he called the doctor again, and the doctor actually said that Mrs. had a plague and there was no cure for it, so he left in a hurry with the medicine box. After Jiading finished speaking, Xu Changshou turned to ask about the situation:

"How's Madame?"

"The lady has a high fever, and the maids and daughters are lying in the room!"

Xu Changshou on the side heard this, and immediately instructed the family to hurry up and inform him: "Immediately isolate the lady's room, and all the family members and maids who have been in contact with the lady are not allowed to travel to the palace at will, and all of them are placed in a vacant room, so tell them quickly." ”

Xu Changshou ordered for a moment, and the family immediately arranged it.

Xu Xin walked to Xu Changshou's side with the support of Rouge:

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Xu Changshou told Rouge: "Help Miss Fu to go back to the room, you must not go out without my instructions, and in addition, always beware of people inside and outside the palace!" ”

Rouge nodded.

Xu Changshou glanced at Xu Xin: "Aunt has the plague, you stay in the room, don't go out!" ”

"What about you?" Xu Xin asked.

"I will be careful, the plague in the palace cannot be ignored!"

After speaking, Xu Changshou left the courtyard with his sword, and Rouge helped Xu Xin back to the room, and Xu Xin looked back behind him from time to time......

Ottritsu Kyoto Genrokuji Temple, main hall.

Next to the table, Li Wuzhen, who looked haggard, paced back and forth, sighing from time to time.

On the other hand, Guo He, who was sorting out the paperwork on the side, seemed more calm and natural, and the two formed a stark contrast.

"The Holy Lord ordered us to investigate the plague in Yongle County, and now a few days have passed, and nothing has been found, if the Holy Lord asks, how can this be good?"

Li Wuzhen picked up the white porcelain blue and white tea cup on the table, knocked the lid on the rim of the cup, and was about to take a sip, then paused for a moment and sighed.

After Guo He finished writing the paperwork, he lifted the rice paper and put it in his hand to shake twice, so that the ink could dry faster.

He put down the rabbit brush in his hand, and then got up and stroked his beard, very satisfied with the document he had written, and smiled happily.

"Lord Guo, what do you think?" Regarding Li Wuzhen's question, Guo He thought for a moment.

"The plague is spreading, and the decline is not yet visible? Didn't we already send a pharmacist to the hospital, and it didn't all work? Guo He asked.

"If the medicine master is effective, the Holy One will not urge us to wait like this. Now that the plague has spread in Yongle County, the pharmacists we sent are limited in number after all, and most of them are young people with shallow qualifications, how can they take on the big responsibility? ”

At this time, a man came in from outside the house, holding a bamboo tube in his hand, kneeling under the main hall, with his head bowed and his eyebrows lowered.

"Adult, the little one has something important to report!"

Guo He stepped forward, glanced at Ding, and presented the bamboo tube in front of him with Ding in an interesting way.

Guo He took the bamboo tube in Heding's hand, then pulled out the bamboo stopper on the bamboo tube, pulled out a volume of documents, and then unfolded the documents and began to read......

After a while, Guo He pondered for a moment, "The pharmacist sent to report that the plague in Yongle County has spread to the vicinity of the imperial city, the people are suffering, and the saint is already urging me to wait!" ”

Hearing this, Li Wuzhen was very angry, "The plague has actually suppressed my Great Xia Dragon Vein!" ”

"How's that okay?"

Li Wuzhen slammed the teacup on the table, and had no clue about the plague.

Guo He bowed his head, stroked his beard, and said: "Your Excellency may wish to go to the county government to investigate, one of the parents has been governed by officials for many years, and it is impossible to have no clues." ”

"Fair! Come on, prepare the horses! Li Wuzhen paused and called out to the pawns outside the house.
