The sky is getting late, the red glow is all over the sky, and the broken city wall of Chang'an City, in the slowly moving brilliance, has a trace of warmth in the incompleteness, and the warmth reveals a leisurely desolation.

The carriage stopped in the alley for a while, Yun Wujing, Jiang Shouhua, and Ah Yu got out of the car and returned to the yard, and Ye Yunsheng drove around.

"Actually, I'll just find an inn to rest. Chu Kexing leaned on the side of the carriage, he didn't have a good rest this day, his wound was slightly swollen, his blood was not smooth, and his face couldn't help but turn pale.

"I'm not worried about the old cloud sleeping inn, and if you're not injured, I'm not worried either. Besides, the sooner you recover, the sooner you can help me. Lao Li can take care of it, and the medicine is good, you can rest for a while, and you don't have to worry about anything else. ”

The two entered from the secret passage, in the dark underground palace, the Taoist Sanqing carved on the stone wall is different from the outer Taoist temple, this place is gloomy, that is, the Sanqing patriarch statue was originally righteous and pure yang, and at this moment it also looks strange, dark and messy.

Ye Yunsheng knocked on the copper pipe, and in a moment, the secret door was opened, and the two came to the Huangquan Medical Garden and met Lao Li.

Lao Li didn't say anything in front of Chu Kexing, and only asked the apprentice Yu Liang to lead Chu Kexing to find a stone room to recuperate. When the two of them walked inside, Lao Li stretched out his hand and raised three fingers.

Ye Yunsheng shook his head and sighed: "Where do I have so much silver." ”

Lao Li squinted, bent his fingers and knocked on the table, "Then ask Yu Liang to bring your brother out again?"

Ye Yun laughed angrily, took out two hundred silver from the oblique bag behind his back, and put it on the countertop.

"What are you doing?" Lao Li was about to slap the table angrily, when he saw Ye Yunsheng holding down the silver and said, "Forget it, I'll go back and ask Lao Yun to borrow some silver first." ”

Lao Li glared and asked, "Bluff me?"

"No, didn't you ask for three hundred taels?"

"Two hundred is two hundred!" Lao Li slapped Ye Yunsheng's hand away and took the silver, "Let's say okay first, he wants to leave, I can't stand it, I just guarantee that people are okay here." ”

"Don't leave a dark wound, don't be reluctant to give up good medicine!"

Ye Yunsheng walked in the departing tunnel, the light was dim for a while, and he inexplicably thought of the scene of Fang Cai:

Lao Li leaned down, leaned on the table, and said in a suppressed voice: "There is a news, I was about to tell you, you came...... Originally, there was no hope for the Shih Tzu milk, but today my friend sent a message. It turned out that the heavens and the earth had sent someone to bring Shih Tzu milk all the way to Kaifeng to offer it to a lady in the palace. ”

There were three candles lit on the side of the table, the flames flickered, and Ye Yunsheng's eyes sparkled.

Lao Li smiled and continued: "Tomorrow, this group of people will pass through Chang'an. ”

It's a godsend! I don't know if God looked at him Ye Yunsheng was too pitiful, and gave him a favor! It is not an exaggeration to say that it is hard to come to life, and he has been living with Ah Tan for many days, and it has always been like walking in the dark, not mentioning the exhaustion of perseverance, where is the road ahead, and the despair of not being able to find the light is the most terrifying.

Well, now hope has arisen!

Ye Yunsheng rushed home, Lao Yun waited for him to be impatient, complained a few words, and hurriedly looked for wine to drink.

Jiang Shouhua was holding a flower cat in his arms, and this cat seemed to be the one that often jumped on the wall of his house. was hugged by her and didn't run away, just meowed. Ah Yu reached out to touch its fur on the side, and smiled very happily as she couldn't put it down.

- Both of them were sitting in the courtyard.

"I left a little bit of food on the stove...... I saw that Ah Yu was hungry, so I didn't wait for you to come back, and ate first. ”

"Good. Go into the house, it's too cold outside. ”

Jiang Shouhua's expression became a little stiff, and she looked at him seriously, but did not say a word.

Ah Yu pouted and said, "Ah Yu wants to be outside!"

"Nonsense, don't catch a cold!" Ye Yunsheng entered the side room, played a bowl of rice, looked at the dishes on the stove, left steamed bean skin, vinegared cabbage, winter bamboo shoots and bacon, he pulled the vegetables on top of the rice, walked into the house while eating with the bowl, stayed for half a salary, and saw that Ah Tan was sleeping soundly. He quietly finished the food in the bowl, and walked out of the house to talk to Ah Yu.

"Daddy, I don't want to sleep in the house!" Ah Yu said first.

"You can go to the cellar with Erniang to sleep, do you want to go?

"Don't be afraid, Xiaohua will eat all the rats!"

Ye Yunsheng sat on the threshold, the threshold of the old wooden strip was warmer than the stool in winter, and it was not a butt. He was staring at Ah Yu in a daze, when he saw Jiang Shouhua turn his head and look, "I took Ah Yu to rest, will you come down later?"

Ye Yunsheng held the empty bowl, looked at her blankly, and shook his head slowly.

She asked only to find that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that!"

He smiled, "I know. ”

It's just that he often goes to heal at night, whether it is Jiang Shouhua or Ye Yunsheng, they seem to be a little used to it......

It was getting late, and Ah Yu followed Jiang Shouhua to sleep in the cellar.

There was no rain in the house, and it was extremely cold.

Ye Yunsheng walked inside, shook his mind slightly, and couldn't get used to it - at this time in the past, Ah Yu and Ah Tan were asleep, Ah Yu would lie down on his hands and feet in the bed, and occasionally press his feet on Ah Tan's stomach, while Ah Tan was innocent, quiet and peaceful, and the faces of the mother and daughter were very similar. Such a beautiful picture can often calm his mind, even if there are more troubles during the day.

Therefore, he couldn't get used to it, but he didn't think about calling Ah Yu back at all. just sat on the edge of the bed by himself, accompanied Ah Tan, and looked at his wife's pale face in the dark, there was no trace of blood on her face, and the cheekbones on both sides protruded high, looking so thin that she was out of shape.

"Official, you go to bed early. ”

When he saw her wake up, he smiled, and he couldn't stand the surprise, and tears rolled out of his eyes.

"I really can't help but want to practice my sword...... You just go early, don't practice for too long, sleeping late, it's always bad for your health. ”

"I've already practiced!Ah Tan, I have a lot of time to accompany you, you get better quickly!"

"Okay, the slave's body will definitely get better, at that time, we will go back to our hometown, the slave misses his father, and the slave still thinks about the mountains and rivers of his hometown, pear blossoms. ”

"Okay, I'll go back with you!"

Ye Yunsheng closed his eyes and thought of the farmland in his hometown, the small stone bridge, the stream, the pear blossoms all over the mountains, and the jade trees full of silver fragrance.

A faint sweetness seemed to coil around the end of his nose, and he pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"Official, in the robe at the bottom of the cabinet, there are fifty taels of silver obtained from being used as a sword, don't forget. ”

What Ah Tan said later, Ye Yunsheng didn't remember it anymore, he hugged his wife until the morning light swept away the haze, and then went to the side room to prepare for breakfast. Waiting for Jiang Shouhua and Ah Yu to walk out of the cellar, the three of them gathered around the table and ate rice porridge and meat fried cakes. Ye Yunsheng would not let Jiang Shouhua, a guest, clean up again.

Jiang Shouhua was pulled by Ah Yu to play a game of pinching his fingers, and Ye Yunsheng was about to go out with his hands on his coat and hat.

"What is this going for?"

Jiang Shouhua asked a word, her finger was caught by Ah Yu, but the little guy was unhappy, and shouted to her fiercely: "Be serious, you can't do this!"

Ye Yunsheng rubbed Ah Yu's head and said softly: "Yesterday, the Holy Hand Lao Li told me that Xi Shi Milk is going to Chang'an today, and I plan to go to guard the road early in the morning. ”

"Then I'll go with you, so I can take care of it?"

"No, you help me watch Ah Yu. ”

He walked out of the yard and left half a sentence in his mouth - I don't want others to interfere in this matter.

Sure enough, it started to rain lightly after a while. He put on his coat and hat, and went out of the city all the way, and when he reached the edge of the official road outside the city, he found a haystack and sat on it, and was drenched by the wind and rain.

This is half a day. waited for several waves of people, but it was not like it, he didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't go to the Ning family's people to help, let alone inform Lao Yun, so he stayed here alone, and even didn't bring a sword.

The rain in the sky had not been any heavier nor less since he had left the yard in the morning.

And so it goes.

His lips were already pale from the cold, and his body was shivering, but he had no intention of warding off the cold.

At this time, a group of carriages appeared on the official road in the distance, four healthy horses opened the way in front, two carriages in the middle, and two knights and more than a dozen men in the queue at the end.

The very standard transport escort team doesn't look easy to mess with. Ye Yunsheng saw it, his eyes sparkled, and when he finally arrived, he seemed to be sure that it was them.

As long as there is Shih Tzu milk, Ah Tan can get better!

Ye Yunsheng stood up from the haystack, his stiff body was a little uncontrollable, and as he breathed in, the bright light shone brightly, and the cold in his body was like snow entering boiling water, and it all melted in an instant. He became hot all over, and the next moment, he collided head-on with the horse team, and he didn't even have the slightest intention of sneaking up, he simply rushed neatly, waved his palm, and gushed out his internal strength without reservation!

The sturdy southwest horse was the first to suffer the seedlings, although this horse is small and short, but the foot strength is quite good, and the transport is first-class. However, under the strength of Ye Yunsheng's palm, he turned over and fell to the ground, struggling and screaming in the rain and cement.

The knight on horseback drew his sword and leaped forward, each with four long swords, and the direction was actually a four-elephant sword formation.

Ye Yunsheng rushed into the formation, grabbed the wrist of one of them with one hand, and turned it with the long sword, blocking the sword moves of the other three people, only turning this process, the wrist of the person pinched was already cracked inch by inch to the elbow, and the arm hung down softly, "Ahhhh

This sword is a long sword of the Han Dynasty, continuing to use the sword of the ancient Qin, the handle is short and the sword is long, the sword spine is narrow, the wrist strength and sword skills of the person who make the sword are very high, not like the current popular sword style, lacking a flexibility, it can be said to be really sharp and easy to break.

When the sword arrived in Ye Yunsheng's hand, a sword flower shook out of his wrist, and in an instant, the throat of the person who lost the sword was cut. Again and again, again and again, the sword flower bloomed clearly, but the other three could not be stopped, there was no way to retreat, the three of them broke their stomachs, and the one who accompanied the lost sword fell to the ground, wailing in pain.

The winner in front is divided too quickly, and the people in the back are more cautious and dare not step forward.

Ye Yunsheng rushed through the carriage, and the sword body was vigorously clothed, cutting off the wheel like a thunderbolt. The carriage was missing its wheels, and the horse went forward, and the cart stopped, and the handlebar, which was broken in front of it, lost its center of gravity and rested on the ground. The people in the car were reversed out of the carriage, and Ye Yunsheng wiped them over with a sword, which was two lives, and he didn't even look at what the person who died under the sword looked like.

At this time, no matter how slow the reaction was, he was prepared, and the two knights of the escort team behind him turned over and dismounted, and more than ten Jianghu men also rushed forward, just separating Ye Yunsheng from the second carriage.

There was no one in this carriage, and Ye Yunsheng believed that what he wanted was inside.

His eyes swept over the man who stopped him. Something seems wrong.

The Four Elephant Sword Formation just now turned in his heart, and he didn't have time to think about it, because he didn't know what had happened in the rivers and lakes over the years, but it was still a little strange - there in Jiangnan, when was the Four Elephant Sword Formation popular, shouldn't they all be small and mixed with three talents? Generally speaking, the sword formation is the basic formation of the sect, and the Jianghu Gang rarely practiced, and the apprentices began to practice slowly in the sect from position and cooperation since childhood, and later formed a sword formation. The time spent in the middle is not a short-term success.

Ye Yunsheng has not fought with anyone since he realized it that night, and as soon as he makes a move this time, he is unstoppable. But it can't be said that these people are too weak, just take the response of the four knights who suddenly collided with the horse team in front of him, they were all in the first time, and when they came out of the sword, they consciously combined into a four-elephant sword formation.

Not much time was given to him to think.

The two knights swung their swords and attacked, and they were still in the step position of the four-elephant sword formation, and the gangs and knives of the Jianghu men behind them were messy.

Things on the rivers and lakes are complicated to say, and simple to say...... When both sides have weapons, it's just a matter of life and death. Ye Yunsheng abandoned distracting thoughts, his anger sank into the dantian, he didn't seem to think about what move the opponent would make, unlike the previous moves, he seemed to let himself go, and it seemed that the trajectory of all the weapons in front of him had been silently in mind.

The sword in his hand avoided these swinging tracks in the air, picking out a blood-stained flower, two, three...... More than a dozen charlatans died in a blink of an eye, and six people died.

The sword moves of the two knights were calm, and it seemed to be the righteous and evil sword technique of the Taiyi Sword Sect of Wutai Mountain. This swordsmanship is the most open and close, and it is not taboo that the opponent's angle is tricky or the sword is treacherous. It is an indispensable swordsmanship for the Taiyi Sword Sect to form a sword formation, with the positive, potential, force, combination, and four-character formula to defend the undefeated ground and win the momentum.

It is said that the combination of these two people's sword moves will not be easily defeated by one person no matter what, but at this moment, Ye Yunsheng has no opponent in his eyes, and no matter how safe and undefeated the sword moves, he is also full of flaws under his sword.

He caused the two of them to respond to each other's sword moves, so that they could be steady, and then another sword suddenly struck, stabbing one of them in the throat, and walked away with his sword, cutting the throat of the other. He turned behind the other person, and when the man hurriedly turned around to pick up his sword, he turned his hand and danced a sword flower, shining with silver light, the two swords were staggered, and then, easily, slashed over the other's shoulders.

This person exhaled in pain, but the sword in the shoulder socket, both hands were useless, and he only watched Ye Yunsheng stab the sword into his chest, and a calm and brutal internal energy poured into the sword body. The man only felt as if something in his body had exploded and shattered, and then he lost consciousness.

A group of Jianghu people, with their own status, these two knights are obviously the people in the upper position, and the rest of the people are about to flee when they see that these two are dead, and they make a coax. But the long sword in Ye Yunsheng's hand was like a wind, fast and accurate, one person and one sword, and the battle ended in the blink of an eye, and no one survived.

The official road was full of corpses, and blood flowed everywhere - under the drizzle, the blood flowed even more wantonly, and the cruelty and blood were endless.

Ye Yunsheng dropped the long sword in his hand and opened the curtain of the second carriage, looking for the Shih Tzu milk hidden in the car.

............

Under the eaves, through the rain curtain, Ah Yu was holding a wooden sword pinching the sword trick, and he was counting in his mouth. Jiang Shouhua accompanied her on the side, holding a handful of fried rice in her hand, with sugar, the sweet smell was very attractive.

"Two more hundred, and I'll give you something to eat. Hold on!"

"Erniang, you can eat it for me directly!"

"No, no. Said that it was good to practice 800 times. ”

The two were arguing there, and the courtyard gate was pushed open, and a very young man, holding a light green oil-paper umbrella with a waxy white thin stem, wearing a cyan wide-sleeved straight jacket, and a white Dongpo scarf, walked in by himself.

Jiang Shouhua saw that this person had a narrow face and short eyebrows, round eyes and a thick nose, thin lips and a mustache, and had never met him, so he was afraid that he was Ye Yunsheng's friend, so he asked, "Who is here?"

The man glanced into the room and said to her, "My friends in the rivers and lakes all call me Lao Li." ”

"It turned out to be the Holy Hand Lao Li, and Nu Jiayan returned. ”

Such a legendary name in the rivers and lakes also attracted the sideways eyes of the holy hand Lao Li, who immediately saluted and said: "Helplessly, the flowers have fallen, and it seems to be similar to the return of Yan." I can't imagine that I can see the living legends of the rivers and lakes, Lao Li, I am really fortunate to have three lives!"

"Don't be polite to the doctor...... Are you looking for Ye Yunsheng?"

"Exactly. ”

"Why are you here at this time?"

Lao Li's already round eyes widened like two copper coins, and asked, "Can't I come now?"

"Brother Ye went outside the city to rob Shih Tzu milk, don't you know?"

"Weird! I should know?"

"Huh, he said to me in person this morning, it was you who revealed the news to him yesterday - today someone brought Shih Tzu milk to Chang'an!" "Funny, how did I not know that I told Ye Yunsheng about this? Why did Shih Tzu milk go to Chang'an?"

Jiang Shouhua's face was stiff, and she was confused by Lao Li's question, and she couldn't figure it out.

"Brother Ye said, you received the news, and the heavens and the earth sent someone to bring Shih Tzu milk and rushed to Kaifeng to offer it to a mother. ”

Lao Li blinked his eyes, staring at Jiang Shouhua suspiciously, and asked, "Do you know where the heavens and the earth are?"

"Jiang Ning. ”

"Jiangning to Kaifeng, do you need to go to Chang'an?"

"This ......" Jiang Shouhua's heart was already in turmoil, starting from Jiangning and going north to Kaifeng, why did he go west to Chang'an?

"This lady, who are you, why do you want to deceive me? Although Ye Yunsheng is a little depressed, but he is an old Jianghu, how can he believe such a ridiculous statement? Or is Ye Yunsheng lying to you?"

"I ......" She is already silent and silent, and when she encounters this situation, she is even more speechless.

The two had a conversation, and Ah Yu, who was standing next to Jiang Shouhua, was still holding the sword trick and counting in a low voice. Lao Li sank his face, and without waiting for her to explain, he walked into the house. The room where the patient has lived for a long time will have a suffocation or stench, he is not surprised to smell the smell, looking at the furniture in the room is normal, he can't help but relax a little, look towards the bed, Tan Xiaoniang slept sideways with her back to him. He has been practicing medicine for a long time, and he has no scruples, he walked to the side of the bed and raised Ah Tan's arm to take the pulse, and his face instantly became a little ugly - Ye Yunsheng's mother-in-law, the touch of her arm was swollen, cold, and soft. Lao Li subconsciously came to the conclusion: she was already dead!

Holy Hand Lao Li was a little embarrassed and incredulous, and walked out of the house angrily, while Jiang Shouhua was looking at him, with the same ugly expression on his beautiful face.

"What do you mean?" he looked at Jiang Shouhua and then at Ah Yu. "Ye Yunsheng can't even tell if a person is dead or alive?"

Jiang Shouhua opened her mouth, but was still silent.

Lao Li became irritable and said angrily: "People have been dead for several days, and he actually asked me to come to see the situation yesterday, and asked me if there was any news about Shih Tzu milk, and said that it has improved recently, is this getting better?"

"Is he crazy?"

He was still angry at first, but he scolded vently, but he showed a sad look, feeling pity and pathetic for his friend.

Ah Yu hugged Jiang Shouhua, a little child, and just buried her tearful and snotty face into her soft lower abdomen. The voice was so desperate, but so innocent, Ah Yu said: "My mother is dead, I don't want my mother to die...... Why am I so unlucky, I will have no mother's child in the future!"

If Ye Yunsheng was here, he might laugh when he heard Ah Yu's words, the little guy was so cute.

Jiang Shouhua couldn't laugh.

"He might, just didn't want to believe it. ”
