Chapter Fifty-Eight: Blood Rain
When Ji Nuan and Yu Man returned to the Qin Mansion, it was already dark, and there was not even a single person in the Qin Mansion except for the two guards.
Since Qin Sang died of illness, Qin Huai took over the position of sect master, assisted by the setting of the moon, they were busy with the big and small things of Yueyang all day long, Ji Nuan hadn't seen them for a long time.
When Ji Nuan walked to the front of the door, Tang Yanyan just opened the door and walked out, as soon as he saw her come back, he immediately pulled him aside, lowered his voice and asked: "Ji Nuan, what is the matter with you and Song Wangchen, is it already...", he smiled evilly, and made a kissing gesture on his hand.
Seeing this, Yu Man pushed open the door and walked in, she didn't bother to listen to these things.
Ji Nuan glanced at him, and suddenly remembered Cheng Xiaorou's injured expression when he was in the Jade Emperor Temple, and he couldn't bear it, so he immediately asked: "How is Senior Sister, I'll go and see her", she took steps after speaking.
Tang Yanyan grabbed her, shook his head and said, "She needs time, you still don't want to go for the time being, after a while, she will figure it out."
"Alas", Ji Nuan sighed, remembering that she hadn't said a word to Cheng Xiaorou alone in the past half a month since she came to Yueyang, and she felt uncomfortable. But now that she can't go back to modern times, how should she face her, and how should she deal with herself and Song Wangchen?
She is not stupid, Song Wangchen rescued him in time so many times, saying that he was passing by every time, by the way, she didn't believe it. Besides, she has a strong sense of dependence on him, as long as she sees him, no matter how big things she encounters, she can immediately feel at ease. This sense of dependence made her happy, entangled, and deeply guilty about Cheng Xiaorou, she broke her promise, and Cheng Xiaorou hated her.
"Don't sigh, the person you like also likes you, what a happy thing! Unlike me, she may just treat me as a junior brother by now." Tang Yanyan shook his head and smiled bitterly, and his heart was sour.
Ji Nuan also shook his head, getting rid of those disorganized thoughts, the most important thing now is the safety of the people in Yueyang. The words that the demon Dao said when she fled, although there was a threat in her heart, she was still very uneasy in her heart, and vaguely felt that something big would happen in the next few days.
Early the next morning, they went to Huixiangyuan as usual. Before entering the courtyard gate, two disciples of the Mo Mansion hurriedly walked out carrying a person who had died of illness.
Again, the plague has killed so many people, but there is nothing they can do. Ji Nuan felt uncomfortable, and quickened his pace and walked in.
Mu Xun was holding a book of medical skills and studying it carefully, and there were several thick stacks of medical books in front of him, since Qin Sang died of illness, he had lived here, developing new drugs day and night.
Mu Ran was running around with the medicine, and the two little girls, Ru Qin and Ru Mu, were still busy decocting the medicine. Seeing Ji Nuan walk in, they glanced at each other, pretended not to see it, lowered their heads and continued to fan the medicine stove.
Although they are good friends with Ji Nuan, Cheng Xiaorou has had a sisterhood with them for ten years. They have also heard about what happened yesterday, and at this time, they can only choose not to help each other, pretending not to know anything.
On the contrary, Cheng Xiaorou saw that Ji Nuan was coming, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, you are here, don't stand stupidly, come over and help." She beckoned to Ji Nuan as she spoke, and then entered the house with the pounded medicine, and continued to apply the medicine to the people who were covered with sores.
Ji Nuan was stunned for a while, didn't she blame herself?
Yu Man turned her elbow and said with a smile: "Why are you still stunned, let's go"!
Ji Nuan smiled knowingly, immediately took a bowl of medicine and followed, and when he walked next to Cheng Xiaorou, he smiled and said, "Senior sister, thank you"!
Cheng Xiaorou turned around and said with a smile: "If you really want to thank me, hurry up and help!
She thought about it all night last night, and finally let go, she has been with her senior brother for more than ten years, and it has always been her wishful thinking, and her senior brother has never had other thoughts about her. Thinking about it now, it seems that they don't even talk to each other, even if there is no Ji Nuan, he will not like himself.
"Hmm". Ji Nuan responded, squatted down, and fed medicine to an old woman who had long been unconscious, and the medicine flowed out of her mouth again. Rao is like this, she still takes the handkerchief and gently wipes it, and then continues to feed the medicine.
Seeing that they were reconciled, Tang Yanyan smiled with relief, and the action of cutting the medicine in his hand became even harder.
Just when everyone was busy, an exclamation from a female disciple of Dusk Creek suddenly came from outside the door: "It's raining, red rain, come and see, red rain."
Everyone stopped their movements and ran out of the door one after another, only to see a few red rains in the sky.
And the woman who shouted was Xia Lian, a disciple of Meifeng that Ji Nuan hadn't seen for a long time.
Xia Lian has actually been there all along, but Ji Nuan hasn't noticed her. She asked Ji Nuan to look at herself, and immediately turned her head to the other side and stopped talking.
The red rain was getting heavier and heavier, and at this time, it looked like a rain of blood, falling on the ground, like bright red blood lying down, and it made people shudder to watch.
A female disciple was curious, and reached out to catch the raindrop, and as soon as the raindrop fell on her hand, she immediately screamed, "Ahhh
Cheng Xiaorou hurriedly took her hand and examined it carefully, only to see that there was one more burn mark on the originally white and clean hand.
Ji Nuan and Tang Yanyan glanced at each other, the red rain that had been reported in India, she always thought that it was just a rumor. Now that it had appeared here, she was naturally very surprised, and it was even corrosive.
When the middle-aged man in the crowd saw this, he immediately affirmed: "The gods have sinned, it must be the gods who have sinned." Yesterday the immortals said that there will be calamity within three days, and this blood rain is the condemnation of the gods, it must be...". As he spoke, he was a little unsteady on his feet, and staggered to the ground.
When the people heard him say this, they also felt that it made sense, and immediately shouted in panic: "The gods have sinned, the gods have sinned...". They shouted and fell to their knees again, "Ask the gods to spare their lives, beg the gods to spare their lives..."
Everyone was a little panicked when they heard this, after all, no one had ever seen such a thing, could it really be that the gods had sinned?
"Don't panic, everyone, this is not a gods' condemnation at all, this is a kind of red sand and gravel that is blown up by the wind and mixed with the rain and falls together, so it looks red. It's not the rain of blood, it's not the sin of the gods."
Ji Nuan said everything she could think of, although she didn't know whether it was or not, but it was definitely not a rain of blood, and there could be no so-called gods.
"You are talking nonsense, we have never seen any red sand and stones, and where there is wind here, it is obviously the gods who have sinned. Otherwise, why didn't this blood rain come early or late, but it came after the immortals said it. It's the sin of the Jade Emperor, it must be, it must be."
The middle-aged man was already convinced of this, he staggered up, knelt on the ground, kowtowed vigorously and begged: "Lord Jade Emperor, we know that we are wrong, I don't believe them anymore, please don't go down again, please..."
The other people also cried out, "We know that we are wrong, please don't go down again, spare us..."
When Ji Nuan wanted to explain again, Tang Yanyan shook his head at her and said: "It's useless, they won't believe it, unless they are cured, it's useless to say anything."
"But...", she couldn't bear it, it was not a way for them to kneel like this all the time!
Just when everyone didn't know what to do, the middle-aged man suddenly stood up and roared angrily: "It's all because of you cultivators, it's all because Song Jueqi left the immortals, so that the gods were guilty." Kill Song Jue, abolish a hundred gates...".
Seeing this, the others also stood up and roared angrily: "Kill Song Jue, abolish a hundred gates, kill Song Jue, abolish a hundred gates...", for a while, people were full of voices and resentment.
Ji Nuan comforted again: "Don't be fooled by him, it's not like this..."
I don't know if it's a dying struggle, the middle-aged man suddenly reached out angrily and pushed her before she finished speaking. She was already standing on the edge of the corridor, and this push, she was completely defenseless, and fell straight backwards.
"Ahh Even the middle-aged man was stunned, and the crowd immediately fell silent.
"Warm season". Yu Man stretched out his hand to hold her, but after all, he still finished a step, the red rain fell on her, and the burning pain immediately spread all over her body. She subconsciously covered her face with her sleeves, and her delicate hands immediately had dense burns. When she was about to fall to the ground, she suddenly stopped falling, and the pain in her body did not continue to come.
Song Wangchen set up a huge enchantment cover, completely enveloping himself and Ji Nuan in it. Then he reached out and hugged her waist, and with a light touch of his toes on the blood rain, he immediately flew with her to the corridor opposite everyone.
As soon as Ji Nuan fell to the ground, he immediately turned his back to him. There were burns all over her hands and neck, such an ugly appearance, she didn't want Song Wangchen to see it. Luckily, she protected her face in time, otherwise she would rather find a hole in the ground to get into.
Song Wangchen pulled her back and made her face him. Ji Nuan's eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look at him directly.
Song Wangchen suddenly pulled up her hand, and saw that her hands were badly burned, and gently pulled up her sleeves, and several burns were vaguely visible on her white arms. His brow furrowed, and his eyes were full of distress.
Ji Nuan immediately pulled down his sleeves to cover them, turned around and said, "I'm fine."
Song Wangchen didn't care what she said, and then picked her up and walked slowly towards everyone.
Ji Nuan was a little overwhelmed by this sudden move, although she had already been hugged many times. But Cheng Xiaorou should be so sad to see it! After thinking about it, she still didn't resist, after so many times, she knew that all the resistance in front of him was useless.
Although Cheng Xiaorou was relieved, she would still be sad to see such a move, and then turned away and didn't want to look at them again.
Yu Man just looked at all this in a daze, as if he had long been used to it.
Those who kept saying that they wanted to kill Song Jue couldn't even say half a word at the moment. Seeing Song Wangchen coming over, he immediately consciously made way and stared at his actions with a nervous expression.
And the middle-aged man who pushed Ji Nuan was already trembling with fright. Seeing Song Wangchen glaring angrily, he actually trembled and fell to his knees, and kept saying: "Song Immortal Master spared me, I didn't mean to."
In the face of death, they have long lost their dignity and their original kindness, which is really sad!
Song Wangchen still didn't say a word, and walked directly in front of him with Ji Nuan in his arms, and didn't speak until he came to Mu Xun: "Uncle Shi...".
Mu Xun immediately understood what he meant, and responded: "Come in!" and walked straight into the room.
Song Wangchen hurriedly followed, and then gently put Ji Nuan on the stool and sat down, his eyes followed Mu Xun's footsteps, and he never stopped for a moment.
Mu Xun took out a delicate medicine bottle from the cabinet, turned to Song Wangchen, and said softly, "Apply it to her!" Then he walked out of the door and closed the door.
