The wind was howling outside.

Luo Bing watched as he gradually dissolved into the darkness, and at this time, the darkness had enveloped the earth.

This is the only one on the dark hill with lights burning in the courtyard, and the lanterns at the door are blown around by the mountain wind.

The whole mountain is pitch black, and this lamp seems to be the only pearl in this mountain.

The lantern swayed in the wind, and Luo Bing stood there like a stone statue, not moving.

The light shone on him, and his hair was covered with dust in the folds of his clothes, and in the middle of the night, it seemed even more haggard.

His eyes were still shining in the light, and his eyes were looking firmly and resolutely into the distance, was it because there was someone in the room who was waiting for him with unforgettable dreams and dreams?

Luo Bing stood for a long time, and after thinking for a while, he still stretched out his hand and solemnly knocked on the door of Chu Qiushui's room.

Chu Qiushui has been stuffy in the house, and Li Wuning has come to accompany him from time to time for a while, and the two of them have come and gone, and there is nothing to talk about, and they are gradually bored.

However, to Chu Qiushui's surprise, he actually found the jade bottle containing brocade powder outside the window.

Xin Chu Qiuyu was still not in a hurry, and took away the brocade powder without arrogance or impatience, ready to take it away to rescue.

But Chu Qiushui was unwilling to meet Chu Qiuyan, refused to accompany her, and was not worried about Luo Bing, so he did not leave to look for medicine.

Li Wuning was very cheerful this time, and persuaded him: "If the brocade powder is ineffective, what use can other medicines have?" Instead of running around and doing some useless work, it is better to accompany Chu Qiuyan. ”

Chu Qiushui agreed, but after all, he didn't visit Chu Qiuyan again, and stayed in the house every day, anxious and sad.

Li Wuning went out once in a while and told him that Luo Bing lived at the other end of the courtyard, and he didn't go to visit Chu Qiuyan, but Chu Qiushui was relieved.

Today, Luo Bing suddenly paid a visit, Chu Qiushui was really taken aback, and his heart was overflowing with indignation, and he immediately pressed the sword on the table with his backhand.

Luo Bing shrugged his shoulders, signaling that he had no thoughts and plans to do it, and said lightly: "I have no malice today." I heard you brought back the brocade powder?"

Chu Qiushui said coldly: "What do you have to do with it?"

Luo Bing smiled and said: "Chu Qiuyan is your sister, she can't never get married, why does she really love me, but it's just that my sister and brother are coquettish, are you still serious? I only ask you, if Chu Qiuyan has always loved me and wants to marry me, should you be blessed as an elder brother from time to time?"

Chu Qiushui almost pulled out his sword: "Are you here to provoke?"

Luo Bing smiled and said, "It seems that you are very angry." That's it. I had a crush on Xue Bing at the age of fifteen, and everyone knows that even if she is the wife of Timore, I haven't changed. In a few years, even if Chu Qiuyan really cares about me, his heart should be cold. You can't tolerate your sister loving others for a few years, how can Chu Qiuyan tolerate it? My relationship with her is indeed a normal love, you don't have to think too much. ”

Chu Qiushui nodded, and then shook his head suddenly: "No, I don't believe your words, I only believe my eyes."

Luo Bing said helplessly: "Believe it or not." But you and Chu Qiuyan have experienced so many things, and your brother and sister relationship cannot tolerate the deprivation of outsiders, and I also understand this truth. Now that Chu Qiuyan is using brocade powder, the success or failure of life and death, it all depends on the kung fu of this moment, if you have your support by your side, with your Wuxiang Gong, you are also a little more sure. Why don't you go?"

Chu Qiushui was stunned for a moment.

Chu Qiuyu did persuade him to go, but he was rejected, so he didn't say more, but these words came from Luo Bing, and he couldn't help but go.

A thought faintly flashed in Chu Qiushui's heart: "Luo Bing, what's the use of your high swordsmanship? If something really goes wrong, don't you still have to rely on my Wuxiang Gong?" ”

Luo Bing said: "Three months, it seems that more than half of it has passed." ”

Chu Qiushui asked, "What do you mean?"

Luo Bing said lightly: "I'm going to Luoyang." At the end of March, among the woods outside Luoyang, I will definitely come as scheduled. But I hope you don't make Chu Qiuyan angry again these days, and accompany her well. ”

Chu Qiushui's heart moved, and he actually added a little bit of a good impression of Luo Bing, although he remembered the past, his hatred rose again, but after all, he couldn't make sarcastic and provocative words, but just responded: "Okay." ”

The two went to Chu Qiuyan's house side by side.

Li Wuning lived next door to Chu Qiushui, and also went with the two of them.

When he walked to the door of Chu Qiu's smoke house, Luo Bing stopped and said, "To use brocade powder, you need to untie your clothes. It's inconvenient for me and Li Wuyi to go in, Chu Qiushui, you go first. ”

Chu Qiushui secretly scolded a "hypocrite", and it was nothing, and he went first. As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of medicine came to his face, it seemed that Chu Qiuyu was afraid that the brocade was too toxic, so he used a lot of Fuyu medicine to neutralize it.

Chu Qiushui entered the house, Chu Qiuyan was almost naked at the moment, and only covered his chest and lower body with a white cloth.

Chu Qiuyu was soaked in black, and it was obvious that she had also made a lot of effort, cut a cut in several of her big holes, scattered the brocade into powder, and added a lot of medicinal herbs with peaceful properties, which were being decocted. It was steaming hot, and the rich medicinal fragrance was everywhere.

Chu Qiushui looked at Chu Qiuyan's body, his face was slightly red, and he couldn't help but turn around, but somehow, he thought of what he saw on the stone mountain outside Luoyang that day, and suddenly became resentful.

Chu Qiuyu didn't know what was going on in his heart, and when the medicinal herbs were almost exhausted, he put out the fire, poured it into the bowl, and walked towards Chu Qiuyan.

Luo Bing stood outside the house, smelled the smell of medicine, carefully identified it for a while, felt slightly strange, then stepped forward to open the door, stood at the door, one long and three short, sniffing carefully.

Suddenly, his face changed greatly, and he asked in a loud voice: "Sister Qiuyu, are you afraid that the brocade will hurt too much after it spreads into the meridians, so you added the flavor medicine of Ma Boiling San?"

Chu Qiuyu was quite strange when he heard this, and replied: "I don't know the characteristics of brocade powder without cherry blossoms, but according to the ordinary method of pulling out poison, from near the meridians, drop the medicine. Brother Luo Bingxian, after using this brocade powder, will it really be painful?" It seems that she is also worried and wants to feed Chu Qiuyan some anesthetic.

Luo Bing was shocked and said: "It's not good" and grabbed it in one step.

Chu Qiushui faced the door, saw Luo Bing rushing in, and couldn't help but be angry: "What are you doing here?"

Luo Bing said anxiously: "There is a problem with this medicine, Mrs. Shi, and take it slowly" But Chu Qiuyu dipped some medicine, and it was about to be dropped on the incision of the "Jizhong Acupoint" on Chu Qiuyan's chest, and it was too late to stop.

Luo Bing was in a hurry, rushed forward with an arrow step, and raised his palm to knock over the bowl of medicine.

The medicine was dripping, some splashed on the bed, and some splashed on Chu Qiuyu's already sweaty clothes.

Chu Qiushui wanted to stop him, grabbed his shoulder violently, and threw him down with all his strength, but he was a step too slow.

Luo Bing covered his shoulders, got up from the ground, shook his head and said, "Sister, there is something wrong with this medicine."

Chu Qiuyu didn't expect that this precious brocade would be knocked over by Luo Bing's own hands, and he was also anxious and angry, and asked repeatedly: "What's the problem, what's the problem?"

Luo Bing said coldly: "The brocade is boiled for the corpse of the five poisons, and once it is heated, there will be a foul smell, but does anyone here smell it? Eldest sister, Chu Qiushui, both of them have smelled it. ”

Chu Qiushui thought for a while and asked, "So far, the three really shouldn't have a fragrance?"

Luo Bing shook his head and said: "Brocade Scatter is a poisonous snake that keeps toads, and the spider devours the poisonous snake, and the spider is killed by the centipede. One or two ordinary poisonous insects often stink unpleasantly, how can brocade powder have such a faint fragrance? This aroma, I know very well, is the smell of thistle terrestris. ”

Chu Qiushui said angrily: "I've never heard of you having studied medicinal herbs, how can you distinguish the thistle terrestris flower from such a messy smell?"

Luo Bing said in a deep voice: "About sixteen years ago, I went to the Western Regions, and when I left, I accidentally walked into a tribulus terrestris flower, Zheng This thistle terrestris flower is extremely powerful, if you smell it for a long time, it will be extremely weak,

and even died on the spot. I desperately tried to get out of that thistle flower, but I couldn't do anything. It's only a mile or so away, but if it hadn't been for Temol's rescue, I would have died there.

It was the most dangerous experience of my life, and I still shudder when I think about it, and I remember the fragrance of this thistle terrestris flower very clearly. The smell just now, I'm sure, was definitely the smell of thistle terrestris. And the smell is so strong, I'm afraid it's not ordinary tribulus pollen, but a refined tribulus terrestris pill. Chu Qiuyan's body was already extremely weak, and if he allowed the thistle terrestris to invade the meridians again, he was afraid that he would die immediately. ”

Chu Qiushui listened to his orderliness, not like nonsense, more than sixteen years ago, Tie Mole went to the Western Regions and came back with Luo Bing, if Tie Mole saved Luo Bing, it was also possible, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that I was deceived by the White Sect Master? There is no reason, I saw with my own eyes that he took a little powder and immediately poisoned a big centipede, and it is difficult that Tribulus Terrestris Pill also has such an effect?"

Luo Bing shook his head: "Poisoned immediately?" Although the antelopement of the tribulus terrestris is powerful, the effect is not fast, and the big centipede of the Five Poisons Sect is extremely poison-resistant, even if it can't withstand the tribulus terrestris, it is impossible to die immediately. The centipede that can poison the Five Poisons Sect as a five-poison cult in an instant, I'm afraid only the brocade is scattered. ”

Chu Qiushui said: "That is, the White Sect Master only sprinkled a very small amount of powder, and the big centipede with the thickness of an arm was killed in the blink of an eye." I then snatched it, and there was no way for the White Sect Master to drop the bag. ”

Luo Bing groaned: "I don't know what the reason is......

Chu Qiushui became angry: "You don't know why, why did you break this bowl of medicine?" Luo Bing, you are not a reckless person, do you mean to kill my sister in an accident?"

Luo Bing saw that Chu Qiushui was about to get angry again, and his heart was extremely unhappy. But Chu Qiuyan's last hope, Brocade San, turned out to be fake, and he was extremely sad in his heart, and he didn't have the heart to do anything with Chu Qiushui, so he defended: "I am indeed not a reckless person. I am willing to take a big risk and slap this bowl of medicine in front of you, if you have no mercy, I am afraid that my shoulder blade has been broken. This move is really sensible, and it is not reckless at all. ”

When Chu Qiushui heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Wuning also said: "Sect Master Bai is also a shrewd person. He knows that his martial arts are too different from yours, and he may not take out the real Golden Silkworm to drive away the poison Gu in front of you. Maybe the pot containing the centipede has hidden some medicine in advance, and it will deceive you. You also, your Golden Silkworm Poison Repellent Gu Brocade Scatter was robbed. If you have the ability to rob, others will naturally guard against you. ”

Chu Qiushui was discouraged for a while, and muttered, "Could it be ...... I really can't save my sister?

By the end of these sentences, his whole body trembled with helplessness and pain, as if he had just been fished out of the ice water.

He finally tasted that feeling of powerlessness and helplessness, and finally understood how painful it was.

Although Luo Bing was concerned in his heart, he still said lightly: "Since we can still find Jinsan, of course we can still go?"

Chu Qiushui clenched his fists, as if he wanted to break Luo Bing's gentle and resolute face with a punch.

Li Wuning sighed, but he didn't even seem to bother to look at Luo Bing again, turned his head, and stared at Chu Qiuyu, who was dressed in black.

He seemed to be very interested in Chu Qiuyu.

Luo Bing saw the tears on Chu Qiuyan's face, and his gaze immediately became gentle.

Chu Qiuyan was still crying, but who knew who she was crying for?

Maybe she was crying in pain, maybe she was moved by Luo Bing's love, maybe she was moved by Chu Qiushui's brother and sister.

Chu Qiuyu silently took out a silk scarf and gently wiped the tears on her face. They didn't seem to know that there were three other men in the room.

Chu Qiushui gritted his teeth and glared at them, his whole body seemed to be about to explode, but he finally slowly relaxed his hand and lowered his head: "Okay, I'll go to the remnants of the Five Poisons Sect again." ”

Just a moment ago, everything in this room was full of joy.

It was pitch black, and the night was as cool as water. Chu Qiushui hung his head and walked out slowly—from their side.

There were no words, and everyone's heart was heavy.

Only the wind blew from afar, blowing on his face, but it was also cold.

The world seemed to have suddenly abandoned him, and Chu Qiushui suddenly felt a trace of desolation and chill.

My sister is going to get married, and my brother is so desolate and miserable.

He finally understood now, but there was not the slightest mistake in his heart, nor did he have the slightest apology.

Dark Lonely Mountain Town, Dark Roads. At a glance, the lights are almost completely invisible.

Dawn and clear air.

There is a village at the foot of the mountain, and there is a simple tea pavilion on the side of the road in the village, and there is usually tea in the pot, which should be boiled at this time.

Chu Qiushui walked over and sat down on the bench next to the railing.

The wind blew through the poplar trees beside the road, and a big black dog came out from under the shadow of the tree with its tail between its legs, as if it wanted to bark at him a few times, but after looking at him twice, he walked away with his tail between his legs.

Why is the world so cold? Who is responsible for this? Is it himself?

Of course, he would not think so, only the smartest and most honest people would review their own mistakes after they had been hit.

He may be smart enough, but he is not honest enough, and he is not charlatan enough.

"It doesn't matter what others do to me, I still have these ...... anyway" Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smug smile, and he couldn't help but put his hand into the scabbard tied around his waist.

As long as the sword is there, there will be a pull

He touched it gently, and the hand was reluctant to reach out again, for it was his greatest consolation, the only consolation.

As long as he could touch them, he immediately felt a warm and satisfying feeling that went from his fingertips to the depths of his heart.

...

Luo Bing held on to the corner of the courtyard, and he didn't know how long he had been crying. When he first heard his own cry, even he was taken aback.

He never thought that he would cry out loud, let alone that his cry would be terrible.

He had heard the same voice many years ago.

He saw that the three wild wolves were chased by the hunters and cornered, and the arrows immediately came like a torrential rain, and the male and female wolves cunningly avoided the cave, and finally avoided them.

But one of the young wolves was clearly exhausted and slow, and as soon as he reached the mouth of the cave, he was nailed to the ground by three arrows.

The she-wolf was apparently her mother, so she scurried out of the cave in spite of the danger and tried to bring her dependent son to safety. But then a hunter galloped up and slashed her in the back.

With her son still in her mouth, she fell to the ground, in a pool of blood, struggling.

It's a pity that her strength has flowed out with the blood, and although she is only two feet away from the entrance of the cave, she is no longer able to escape into it.

The male wolf watched his wife and children struggling and suffering, and his dark gray eyes were filled with tears of despair.

The male wolf's pain became more intense, and his body began to tremble, and suddenly he burst out of the cave and bit the female wolf's throat, relieving his wife's pain.

But now the hunters had gathered around, and the wolf, looking at the corpses of his wife and children, suddenly raised his head and howled—a terrible howl, so that even the hunters could not help but be moved, and he watched from afar, and felt only tears in his eyes, and his stomach was contracting, and he vomited for half an hour before he stopped.

Now he realized that his cry was the same as the howl of a wolf he had heard. He almost couldn't hold back his vomiting.

The tears had dried, but the blood began to flow again. Crying is also a very strenuous exercise.

When a person really weeps bitterly, not only with all his heart, but also with all his strength.

Luo Bing could feel that the wound that had just formed a scar had broken again. He doesn't care.

His face was rubbing against the dirt on the wall, and he was bleeding. He doesn't care.

He didn't know how long it had been since he had eaten rice. He doesn't care.

But does he really care about anything? Why is he crying?

It's just that he forces himself to accept a fate that is worse than that of a beast, and he forces himself to make others look like a piece of wood. It's not easy.

Suddenly there was a burst of fragrance in the breeze, not the fragrance of the leaves, nor the fragrance of the distant mountains.

When he raised his head, he saw Chu Qiuyu standing in front of him, dressed in black like ink.

Chu Qiuyu always has her arrogance and indifference, and there is neither sympathy nor pity in her beautiful eyes, she just keeps looking at him coldly.
