Chapter 6: A Rainy Night

In June, halfway through the long summer, the roads were muddy with rain for several days, and the horse-drawn carriages moved slowly on the official road.

The little brother who drove the car was wearing a poncho, and his face under the hat was quite handsome, it was Ge Sheng of Tumeng Valley. Naturally, the car was sitting in Qingyi, and there was a phantom Wu who had not been out of the valley since his birthday.

Usually when Phantom Wu goes out, he is accompanied by Qingyi, and Ge Sheng stays in the valley to take care of chores. It's just that this time Huiming's letter was quite urgent, and it was difficult to travel in the rain, so he took Ge Sheng to the car. Ge Sheng hadn't been out of the valley for a long time, and his rather childish and lovely face was full of excitement, but he was in a hurry, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he finally arrived in the capital before the city gate was closed.

When I hurried to the mansion on Wending Street, the sky was already sinking, but the rain did not decline, and when I got out of the car, I only felt that I couldn't see clearly five zhang away.

At this moment, Phantom Wu only wanted to hurry into the door to avoid the rain, but he didn't see a figure by the door come out, and he was startled.

"Who's there?" Phantom Wu couldn't see clearly, and Qingyi pulled her to prevent her from stepping forward.

The figure walked out, unusually slowly, a little closer, and Phantom Wu could see who it was.

"It's you, why are you here?" the man was the boy he had met on the street four months earlier.

I saw that the young man's face was pale, his clothes had been wet by the rain, and he was clinging to his body at the moment, and he looked at it illusoryly, only to feel that his body was thinner than a few months ago.

The young man's forehead hair was sticking to his face, dripping with rain constantly, and his long eyelashes were also wet, the young man could only squint, and saw clearly that it was the person he was waiting for who got down from the carriage, and walked out.

Phantom Wu instructed Ge Sheng, who was wearing a poncho, to step forward to take a look first, and then hurriedly asked Qingyi to take a tung oil umbrella and follow forward.

Although Ge Sheng is not Hui Ming's apprentice, his medical skills have been passed on by Hui Ming, and he is much better than the real apprentice of Huanwu. He stepped forward to look at the young man before he said, "It's cold, it's fine." When Phantom Wu heard this, he was relieved, and the three of them helped the young man into the house, and Phantom Wu instructed Ge Shengqing to boil medicine and make some food by the way.

Phantom Wu changed his wet clothes, curled his long hair as he walked, and when he arrived at the bed, he saw that the young man's wet clothes had been changed by Ge Sheng, so he sat down in front of the couch to check the young man's pulse.

The young man's face was like white paper, and his lips were so pale that there was no blood. His eyes were closed, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he seemed to be unstable in his sleep. The wrist bones of the Phantom Pulse are slender, but very slender, and the blue-green meridians are clearly visible, and this small arm is more like a woman's than a teenager. Phantom Wu silently felt distressed, closed his eyes and concentrated, but found the pulse of this weak young man...... It's weird.

At this time it is summer, the pulse of ordinary people should be the flood pulse, this young man is weak, it should be a long time of accumulation, too much thinking, at this time and the cold, the pulse should be shallow, but his pulse is more powerful than a healthy adult, and obviously faster than the speed of Hong Jian at his age, although he does not have the good medical skills of Master Ge Sheng, but he can also say that this pulse is very abnormal, strange, really strange.

At this time, Phantom Wu's eyes were full of incomprehensible pulses, and naturally he didn't notice that the boy had woken up leisurely.

When the boy opened his eyes, he saw a woman he hadn't seen for months, dressed in a green summer shirt with a vertical collar, long hair hanging loosely on the back of his head, and no beads. At this time, she lowered her head slightly, her slightly cool fingertips against her wrists, her expression was focused, as if there was some difficult problem bothering her, her long eyebrows were raised, and her beautiful lips were slightly pursed. The candlelight was soft, shining on the side of her face, clean and gentle. I don't know if it's because of the warm yellow candlelight, the phantom at this time looks much gentler than in the daytime, because of the closeness, the pink veins on the woman's ears, and the fine fluff on the face are all clearly seen by the young man.

The nerves that had been tense and tired for a long time seemed to relax in front of her, and how long did the phantom think about it, and how long did the boy look at her blankly.

Suddenly, Phantom Wu opened his eyes, and the young man stared at her for a moment, naturally taking in her expression, and subconsciously closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

The young man closed his eyes, only felt that Phantom's hand first pressed his arm, and then pinched his shoulder, the force was not heavy, but where it was kneaded, there was a feeling of numbness and itching, and it didn't go away for a long time, and when he came back to the taste, he found that Phantom's soft hand was pressing on his leg, and he couldn't pretend to be able to do it anymore, so he hurriedly opened his eyes.

"Are you awake?" Phantom Wu heard a mutter, looked up and saw that the young man had already opened his eyes, thinking of the person he had just kneaded like a dead corpse, he felt a little embarrassed in his heart, and let go of his hand stupidly. It feels good, huh? What's the deal with this pity?

"You fainted at my door just now, and I carried you in. Phantom Wu looked at the young man's somewhat confused expression and explained.

Thinking that he had delayed his business, the young man wanted to turn over and get off, but he held him down with both hands.

"Don't move, drink the medicine first. Phantom Wu held him down, reached out and took the medicine bowl on the table, touched it, the temperature was just right, and handed it over.

The young man looked at her solemn expression, reached out to take the bowl, and drank it with his head up. Drinking a little hurriedly, the boy couldn't help coughing.

As soon as Phantom Wu wanted to reproach him, he saw him turn over and kneel in front of him. Phantom Wu couldn't react for a while.

"Engong!" Phantom Wu heard this, and his forehead jumped.

The young man knelt awe-inspiringly, his face solemn: "Last time, I thanked Engong for his help, and the villain was able to save his mother. ”

After speaking, he was about to kowtow, but Phantom Wu hurriedly held on to it, not letting the head kowtow.

When the young man saw that she insisted, he took out a purse and a small pouch from his chest, which was given to him by Phantom Wu last time, and was well preserved by him, and even the silk silk was not messy.

The young man handed over the two things, a little embarrassed: "I keep Engong's purse well, thinking that I will return it to Engong together with the silver money in the future, and this silver tael, I have saved by working in the past few months, but I haven't saved enough one hundred taels yet......

Phantom Wu looked at him with a solemn face, but there was some impatience in his eyes, and he waved his hand: "I will give you this purse, there are some herbs in it, which are beneficial to the body, you can keep it." As for the silver taels, I'm not in a hurry to use them, it's important to take them to treat your mother first. ”

Hearing this, the young man's hands tightened, and a desolate pathos suddenly appeared on his face.

"My mother...... I don't need these silver taels anymore. ”

It turned out that the boy's mother was not in good health in her early years, but now she has been delayed for many years, and she has long been ignored. I got the phantom silver tael, and I also found a lot of good doctors, but no one said that they could be saved. Until two months ago, the boy met a wandering Langzhong, and after using this Langzhong's prescription, his mother's condition actually improved a lot. Just when the boy thought that his mother was saved, the Lang Zhong told himself that his mother's illness was indeed incurable, and he was only controlling it with medicine, and all he could do was to reduce some physical torture. Even so, my mother is afraid that she will not survive this autumn.

After the young man said this, he suddenly looked at Phantom Wu, and his eyes were filled with hope: "My father left home when I was young, and my mother raised me alone, never saying bitterness, but I know that my father has always been a pain in her heart, and her wish in this life is that my father can come back...... But that's no longer possible. He smiled sadly.

But the doctor said there was a man who could grant his mother's wish. The young man looked at the illusion and did not speak, and continued: "He asked me to find a dream doctor, saying that the dream doctor can weave dreams for people, even if it can't become a reality, for my mother, who is full of regrets all her life, at least he can give her a perfect dream." But when I asked him how he found the dream doctor, he said let me come here to find you, and he said that the owner of the house could give me the answer. ”

After the young man finished speaking, he kowtowed straight to the phantom: "Please also ask Enxuan to inform the villain, where is the dream doctor." ”

"What does that doctor look like?" Phantom looked at him, but asked an irrelevant question.

Although he felt strange, the young man still said truthfully: "He looks very young, handsome and extraordinary, and his bearing is unparalleled." ”

Hearing this, Phantom Wu smiled and helped his forehead: "You don't have to go to the dream doctor." ”

The young man kept kneeling, and when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head, with disappointment and consternation in his eyes: "Why?"

Phantom Wu stretched out a finger and pointed at herself: "Because I am." ”
