Chapter 112: Snowy Night Lights
Thinking of this, Lu Tong couldn't help but retort: "Acting in accordance with morality is not self-auspicious; Acting against morality and divination is also vicious. People should tell themselves, and they don't have to ask for divination. ”
People who do good deeds will not be lucky if they don't divination, and people like him who have done all the bad things, even if the lights explode a hundred times, they will inevitably be struck by lightning when walking on the road.
The sarcasm in these words should have been understood, and the man in black looked at Lu Tong with some surprise: "Have you read a book?" ”
Lu Tong didn't speak.
He glanced at Lu Tong: "Since you have read the book, why are you still a thief?" ”
Lu Tong: "......"
She couldn't bear it: "I'm not a thief!" ”
She hates this person as a "thief", and that kind of contemptuous attitude and mocking tone all reveal the arrogance that this person hides deep in her heart.
It's the kind of arrogance that even if you need someone to help you abscond now, you don't forget to put on a condescending arrogance.
"What is stealing from a dead person, not a thief?"
Lu Tong took a deep breath: "I'm a doctor, and I took those things to make medicine." ”
She didn't understand why she was saying this to this person, and the contemptuous tone of the person in front of her made people want to refute it.
The other party seemed to be a little interested and looked at her: "Doctor? ”
He smiled with a smile in his voice, as if he didn't think so, "Using the corpse of a dead person as a medicine guide, what kind of doctor are you, can't you be a murderer, a murderer doctor?" ”
Lu Tong: "......"
She decided to shut up.
There's no point in arguing with a stranger about these things. At least for now, it seems that he didn't want her life, so it would be a good thing to wait until tomorrow morning, when the snow stopped, and she and this person went their separate ways, and there was nothing to do with it.
The wind and snow passed by the gate of the broken temple, the snow particles drifted from the broken windows, and the oil lamps burned quietly in the sound of the wind.
In this quiet shadow, the man in black suddenly spoke: "Little thief." ”
Lu Tong looked at him vigilantly.
He looked at the firewood burning under his feet and asked, "You said that you are a doctor, will you sew up the wound?" ”
"No, it won't."
Lu Tong replied briskly. It's better to say more and say more, but not to say it.
"Really? But when you were digging people's hearts and livers just now, there seemed to be golden needles in the box. He lifted his chin and gestured to Lu Tong's medical box.
Lu Tong subconsciously hugged the medicine box in his arms, and then reacted.
He had just seen the needle, and said she was a thief?
This man did it on purpose!
Lu Tong endured his anger: "I meet few patients on weekdays, and I don't have a chance to sew up the wounds." After a pause, he deliberately said, "So find the corpse of a dead person to practice." ”
The temple was silent.
After a while, the man in black smiled, and he said, "That's right." ”
He hooked his finger at Lu Tong, "There is a ready-made one here, even if it is an apology for you, the living are always more useful than the dead." ”
Before Lu Tong understood what he meant, the man in black pressed his right shoulder with one hand, and "teared-" tore open the clothes, revealing his bloody shoulders.
In an instant, a thick bloody breath came to the nostrils.
Lu Tong's pupils shrank.
The man's wound was so deep that it spread from his shoulder to his back, as if he had an arrow wound mixed with a knife wound, and his flesh was hideous. Although Lu Tong had guessed that the other party was injured at the beginning, he didn't expect the injury to be so serious.
It's really because he looks and behaves like ordinary people, and he is not half weak.
"Sewn it." He turned his head sideways and motioned for Lu Tong to step forward.
The flesh and blood of the arrow wound were blurred, Lu Tong's heart trembled slightly, although she was looking through the medical books in Yun Niang's house in Luomei Peak, she had never really treated anyone, so she subconsciously got up and avoided it: "No, I won't ......"
A hand grabbed her wrist.
The man in black sat in place, grabbed her wrist with one hand and pulled her back, and said in a calm tone: "It doesn't matter, just die if you can't die." ”
Lu Tong: "......"
People have to bow their heads under the eaves, this person is so seriously injured, he can still walk and jump, his joy and anger are invisible, and he even scares people with a knife, and he is a ruthless character at a glance. At the moment, she doesn't seem to have the right to refuse.
Lu Tong pressed down the complicated emotions in his heart and looked at him: "...... Shall I try? ”
He let go of his hand and smiled: "That's right, the heart of the doctor's parents." ”
Lu Tong sat down in front of the pyre again and opened the medical box in front of him.
There were two jars in the medical box, one clay pot was full of hearts and livers, and Lu Tong took out the other iron pot and pulled out the tin can stopper.
The man in black moved his eyes and asked, "What is this?" ”
"Wax Snow." Lu Tong replied.
The third day after the winter solstice is wax, and the snow before waxing is suitable for the growth of vegetables and wheat, and can freeze locust eggs to death. Sealing the snow in a bottle may detoxify various poisons.
Sunan City has rarely encountered heavy snow in ten years, and the snow in Luomei Peak is different from the snow in the city, she originally wanted to bring this can of snow back to the mountain, but she didn't expect it to be used here.
Lu Tong put the jar on the fire, and the jar of crystal clear wax snow gradually turned into clear and transparent water, and slowly came out of the heat, and the noise was boiling, like the clouds solidified by the mountain stream were contaminated with the dust of the world and became vivid.
Lu Tong took out a handkerchief from his arms and soaked it in the boiling snow.
The man in black quietly watched Lu Tong do all this.
At the end, Lu Tong took the soaked handkerchief and walked towards him.
He sat up straight, Lu Tong walked around behind him, gently lifted the clothes he had torn off, and when his eyes fell in front of him, his breath couldn't help but stagnate.
When I got closer, I could see clearly that this man's wound was terrifying.
Lu Tong took a deep breath, wiped the blood stains on his head little by little with a handkerchief, and the wound blurred by blood revealed the truth, which became more and more terrifying, the knife wounds and arrow wounds were all stabbed obliquely from behind, and from the direction, he was stabbed from behind, and it was very close.
She couldn't help but glance at the other party.
The man in black lowered his head, his back shrouded in the warmth of the lights on a snowy night, and he couldn't see his emotions.
The posture is as relaxed as usual.
Lu Tong didn't think much about it anymore and took out the golden needle from the flannel cloth in the medical box.
The golden needles are not wanted by Yun Niang, Yun Niang has a lot of needles, sometimes those needles have been used for a long time, Yun Niang does not feel wishful, and will replace a batch. Lu Tong picked up those needles, picked out those that could be used, and hid them in his box, Yun Niang didn't say anything when she saw it.
She sometimes used those needles to sew the medicine bag, but she never used them to sew the wounds, and even the skin under her hands was fresh and warm, and in the past few years, what she touched the most were the cold corpses in the mass graves and the dead in the execution ground.
She was not familiar with the body of a living person.
The man in black said: "What to do, take advantage of me?" ”
Lu Tong: "......"
She put away the awe and caution she had just put away the living body, and pricked it with a needle.
The man in black snorted.
Lu Tong said lightly: "I'm sorry, the first time I sewed the wound, I wasn't very skilled." ”
The man in black didn't speak.
Lu Tong lowered his head and stitched it up.
The line is mulberry white leather line, Yun Niang has a lot of mulberry white leather line, and sometimes it is used on the rabbit fox who tests the medicine in Luomeifeng. Lu Tong secretly hid a small volume, but he didn't expect it to be used here now.
Originally, such a stitch should also be applied with sealing medicine and blood scattering ointment, but at the moment she has nothing in her box.
However, judging from the current situation that this person can still be alive and kicking, even if he doesn't have these medicines, he should be able to carry it.
Lu Tong sewed very carefully.
At first, she was a little nervous, her fingers trembled, and her movements were not very skillful, after all, this was the first time she had sewed a wound. But then he gradually relaxed, the person in front of him was very cooperative, and he didn't say a word, even though it hurt like this, he didn't overflow the slightest pain.
On a cold day, in the wasteland, heavy snow was blowing one after another, surrounding the silent lights in the broken temple with the only light.
I don't know how long it took to stitch up, Lu Tong tore off the last mulberry white leather thread, put the gold needle back on the flannel, and wiped the spilled blood with a wet handkerchief, and a centipede-like wound appeared in front of her.
It's still a very ugly centipede.
Lu Tong: "......"
The man in black tilted his head slightly, and he didn't know if he could see the seam on his shoulder, so he was silent for a moment before he said, "Your embroidery is really bad." ”
Lu Tong was inexplicably a little weak-hearted.
In the past, when she was in Changwu County, she was young and couldn't sit still, she never liked to do these needles and threads the most, Lu Qian's embroidery was better than her, and later in Luomei Peak, she barely sewed a medicine bag, and she really couldn't do it if she sewed it for this person. You must know that his figure is very beautiful, and the lines of his shoulders and backs are smoother and neater than any dead corpse she has ever seen, and now he is so crooked and twisted, as if someone had scribbled on the delicate silk silk.
It's terrible.
"Thank you." The man in black didn't care about her embroidery, and thanked her lightly.
Lu Tong was a little surprised.
She didn't expect him to be so talkative, in fact, this person has always behaved quite politely, even with a good temper, except for threatening her to lead the way on the execution ground at the beginning. During Lu Tongsheng's wounds, he pulled his wounds intentionally or unintentionally, and he didn't say anything, as if he didn't notice her deliberate revenge, or he noticed it, but endured it.
People who often walk in the pile of dead people always have a special sense of danger, but Lu Tong does not feel danger in him.
He really didn't want her life.
She was thinking about it when she suddenly heard the man in black ask her, "It seems that it is really a doctor, but since it is a doctor, why is he still wearing a mask?" ”
Lu Tong was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously reached out and touched the clothes on his face.
The vestment is nothing more than a long white silk, covering the face in front and back, revealing only a pair of eyes, and the hanging white silk is draped over the shoulder.
After all, she came to steal the dead people's things, in fact, this person called her a "little thief" correctly, she didn't want to swagger and walk among the dead people, and she wore a mask with a fluke heart. Even if these dead people in the execution ground turned into ghosts and didn't see her face, they shouldn't be able to find her accurately.
She deceived herself and comforted herself in this way.
Lu Tong said: "I'm ugly, I don't want to be scary." ”
He nodded, as if he agreed: "If it's ugly, it shouldn't come out to be scary." ”
Lu Tong: "......"
Obviously he has fallen into such a field, and he can still speak so ugly. Lu Tong looked at his face, and somehow, his brain was hot, and he was angry for a while, and he jumped suddenly, raised his hand and grabbed the black towel on his face-
"So, you're good-looking?"
The light of the oil lamp shook violently by the wind of her clothes, and even the figure shook with it.
Lu Tong only felt a pain in his wrist.
He moved surprisingly fast, and before Lu Tong could touch his face towel, he had already grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
Lu Tong was startled, and her back was about to hit the offering table, and in the next moment, someone stretched out her arm to cushion behind her. She bumped into the crook of the other arm, and the other party grabbed her wrist and pulled her back slightly, avoiding the suffering she had to endure next.
Lu Tong grabbed his shirt in shock, and subconsciously looked up at him.
The lamp was on the offering table above him, and he was half-kneeling, leaning slightly, and at first glance he looked kind and concerned. The black scarf still covered his face tightly, and he was so close that he could see the beautiful outline, as well as the jewel-like eyes and long eyelashes that were exceptionally clear in the light of the lamp.
Suddenly, Lu Tong had a strange illusion.
He was really not very old, maybe he was a teenager with good skin.
The man in black frowned, looked at her fixedly, Lu Tong swallowed his saliva, and when he saw the person in front of him, he suddenly bent his eyes, and his tone was not salty or light: "You turned your face so fast." ”
With that, he reached for the vestige on her face.
Lu Tong couldn't help but close his eyes.
If she could, she really didn't want her face to be exposed in front of people, like the one on Luomei Peak and the one in Changwu County, all separated by this thin coat. And now she takes off her shirt in front of others, as if she is forced to accept another self.
A self that even she doesn't want to admit.
Lu Tong felt that the hand had reached the corner of her face, and with a slight effort, her face would be exposed to the light.
The sound of the wind came faintly from outside the door, and Lu Tong waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for other actions.
His eyelashes trembled, and Lu Tong opened his eyes slightly.
Those bright eyes were in front of her, and her own shadow was clearly reflected in the pupils, as if she was smiling, he pinched the corner of Lu Hitomi's mask and sighed.
"Little thief, no one taught you when you came out, and you should tie the face towel tightly when you do bad things." He gently pulled Lu Tong's face, as if he was a little disgusted, "This, it will fall off as soon as you pull it." ”
Lu Tong was stunned.
The man in black had let go of his hand and sat down on the mat again.
The burning fire calmed down again, and the long shadow on the ground no longer swayed.
Lu Tong silently got up from the ground, walked to the firewood pile and sat down, deciding not to do something ridiculous and generous anymore.
The man in black glanced at Lu Tong and called her, "Hey." ”
Lu Tong didn't speak.
He seemed to be teasing her: "I am the young master of a big family, you helped me, and I will give you a reward in the future." ”
The young master of a big family?
As if she finally had a handle in her hands, Lu Tong immediately sneered: "The young master who threatens others to hide in the pile of dead people? What kind of young master are you, Young Master Assassin? ”
Man in Black: "......"
He sighed: "You really hold a grudge." ”
Lu Tong snorted in his heart and didn't speak.
She grew bolder, and spoke more and more unscrupulously. Lu Qian once said that Lu Tong is the best at looking at people's eyes, and in front of her tolerant people, she becomes more and more arrogant, and in front of her strict people, she will curry favor and behave.
Since she came to Luomei Peak with Yun Niang, the person she has seen the most is Yun Niang, and the person she has dealt with the most is the corpse. Dull, cold, numb, turns her into another person.
But today is a little different.
Maybe it's because the snow in Sunan City tonight that has been rare for ten years is very similar to the snow in front of the Lu family in Changwu County, so she has turned back into the Lu family's Lu San girl who refuses to suffer, or maybe it's because the bright-eyed black-clothed man in front of her has threatened her verbally, but he hasn't really hurt her from beginning to end, but has a kind of lazy connivance.
They hid in the ancient temple on a cold night to avoid the wind and snow, like two beasts meeting in the water, vigilant and warm each other, each with its own forbearance, each with its own typhoid fever.
There is also a tacit understanding not to listen to each other's secrets.
Lu Tong reminded: "You are a young master, you shouldn't owe me a consultation fee, right?" ”
The man in black was stunned: "Consultation money? ”
"yes." Lu Tong nodded, "The needles and threads for stitches are very expensive." ”
He was stunned for a moment, sneered, and asked, "How much?" ”
"Two taels of silver." Lu Tong Lion opened his mouth.
"So expensive?" He said as he touched his arms.
Lu Tong waited for a long time.
The man in black took it into his arms for a long time, until his movements gradually stiffened, and although he was covered with a face towel, Lu Tong seemed to see a trace of embarrassment on his face.
He didn't take out the silver taels.
Lu Tong looked at him quietly: "Aren't you a young master?" ”
Claiming to be a young master, but there is no one on his body, how can a young master go out without even bringing silver?
Sure enough, it's lying.
He snorted, lowered his head, and his gaze fell on his fingers, removing a silver ring from his hand.
The man in black touched the silver ring, as if he was a little reluctant, and the next moment, he threw the silver ring into Lu Tong's arms: "This is for you." ”
Lu Tong looked down.
It was a very old silver ring, and the pattern engraved on it had been blurred by too much rubbing, and it was not very bright because of the blood spatter, and it seemed to be a little rusty.
Lu Tong picked up the silver ring in disgust and looked at it, and said, "It's not worth much." ”
This silver ring looks very old, and the materials are very ordinary, and it may not even be able to sell for a tael of silver.
He didn't care about Lu Tong's dislike, and smiled: "This is a token, if you go to Shengjing in the future and bring this to me, I will know that you are here." ”
Lu Tong was stunned: "Are you from Shengjing?" ”
Shengjing is thousands of miles away from southern Jiangsu, he is actually from Shengjing?
"I didn't tell you that I was the young master of a big family." He said disapprerovingly, "You take this to the Yuxian Building on Nanqinghe Street in Shengjing City to find me." I invite you to eat the sugar gourd of Yuxian Tower. ”
Lu Tong held the silver ring in the palm of her hand, the silver ring brought his body temperature, it was warm, she put the silver ring into the medical box, and said in a low voice: "Let's talk about it when you can return to Shengjing alive." ”
She didn't know who this man was or why he was here. However, hiding in the pile of dead people in the execution ground covered in wounds is in itself a sign of the danger of his situation.
He can spend a night in the broken temple on a snowy night in southern Jiangsu, it does not mean that he can spend the second night, and some people live in this world, which is already a hardship in itself.
The man in black didn't speak, looking out the window.
The cold and snow of the wasteland are flying, the north wind is pressing heavily on the treetops, and the beasts and birds are running to the hooves.
Only the broken temple is lonely and the lights are scattered.
After a long time, he withdrew his gaze and raised his hand to flick the wick in the oil lamp.
The silver lamp shines, blooming and bearing stamens in the empty and dilapidated temple, spitting flames and light, like a small burning flower ball.
He said: "Didn't I say it, the lights are smiling and everything is happy, you and I will have good luck in the future." ”
Lu Tong was stunned.
He turned his head and looked at Lu Tong and smiled slightly.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have met you here tonight."
