Brother Zhu still didn't understand what Xu Ming meant by "RMB player" until he was subdued by the Luzhou City monk guard team who came and was transferred to the pipa bone with an iron chain to unload his spiritual power.

He only knew that Xu Ming and Guan Chunuan, the two juniors of the Yudan Realm, had been fighting with him for a long time, until the guards of Luzhou City came over. During this period, he knocked Xu Ming to the ground many times, but in addition to making him more disgraced, there was no substantial harm, just like a child spreading anger and pasting people with mud.

"Is this a Gu worm?" Guan Chunuan looked at a crustacean creature that Xu Ming was pinching.

"It should be. Xu Ming put it in a jar and handed it to a guard monk who was waiting with a long sword on the side.

The monk nodded at Xu Ming: "Thank you for your help in this operation!"

Xu Ming smiled embarrassedly: "Yes, yes, my monks should take it as their responsibility to help the people of the world, this is just a gesture!" The monk arched his hand towards Xu Ming and Guan Chunuan and left.

Xu Ming looked at the back of the man leaving and sighed. "What's wrong?" Guan Chunuan asked, "Is it because you haven't found that witch shaman?"

"Not exactly. Xu Ming replied, "Since he is also going north, then he will definitely encounter it, and the hexagram said that he will definitely be able to find it to the north, and he is not in a hurry." My concern is that there is likely to be a larger conspiracy in this incident. ”

"Are you worried that innocent people will be in danger because of this?" Guan Chunuan looked at Xu Ming. "What does the world have to do with me, I'm just afraid that she will be swept up in it. Xu Ming stroked the sword beside him and looked at the starry sky in the north in a daze.

"Anyway, the soft armor given by the sect master is really fragrant!"

......

"Don't worry, let's go, I won't be able to get out in a few days. In the north of Luzhou City, a man dressed as a monk with a cane bent down, put a small insect in his hand into the grass, and shouted behind him. A kitten kept up with the person in front of him step by step.

Xu Ming and Guan Chunuan rested in Gao Laozhuang for one night, and the next day they said goodbye to Gao Yuanwai and continued to go north. Their footsteps were also fast, and a few days later, they left the border of Jiangbei Prefecture and arrived in Taishan County. It was already night when they arrived at Taishan County, and when they woke up and were ready to move on, they were blocked at the door.

"What's the matter, why is it forbidden?" Xu Ming looked at the guards at the city gate in confusion. "The plague has broken out. The guard's words were short-lived.

A plague originating along the Chu River along the Grand Canal seemed to have conquered the entire Dajing Kingdom overnight, and more than hundreds of people in various state capitals were infected, and tens of thousands of people were seriously ill in the affected areas.

Almost immediately, Dajing took measures, the post road galloped fast, sending information to all directions of the huge empire, and the transportation of grain and medicinal materials was carried by several major chambers of commerce together to help the imperial court transport for free, and the imperial doctors of the court and China were all dispatched. Dajingguo, which has not been at war for hundreds of years, wakes up like a lion in an instant to defend against an invisible enemy.

The monks will not get sick, and with the blessing of spiritual power, they will not carry the virus, and countless monks have volunteered to form rescue teams to help treat the sick in various hard-hit areas. Xu Ming and Guan Chunuan also stayed in Taishan County to assist the local Langzhong in treating patients.

Xu Ming and Guan Chunuan came to the treatment center. There is a smell of various herbs and vinegar for disinfection. Each bed has been set up by the local monk guard team to isolate the patient from the outside world, and Xu Ming and Guan Chunuan are responsible for arranging and maintaining the barrier.

Taishan County is the hardest-hit area, and it is headed by the imperial doctor Ouyang Nanshan. On the first day Xu Ming and Guan Chunuan came to the treatment center, they met this old man who was praised as a "true immortal" by the people. Xu Ming originally thought that this "true immortal" would be an old man with white hair and fairy bones, but when he met him, he realized that this was a doctor with fierce eyes and strong spirits. He is also a monk, and he is only one step away from becoming an immortal when he cultivates to the realm of returning to the Dao.

"The old man Ouyang Nanshan of Bixiao Valley has had several encounters with your father and master Guan Shanyue. "The old man's spirit is very good and very talkative, and if it weren't for the great enemy, he would have had a good chat for a long time when he met the son of the deceased. But now, after just a few pleasantries, he hurriedly visited the patient.

"He is the valley master of Bixiao Valley who entered the Tao with medicine!" Xu Ming suddenly patted his head, "I saw him on "Secrets of the Five Continents"!"

"Can medical skills also enter the Dao?" Guan Chunuan looked at Ouyang Nanshan's tall back and walked away.

"There are three thousand avenues in the world, and everyone has their own way. ”

Life in the treatment center is tense but somewhat boring, watching the tortured patients crying out, Xu Ming has no choice but to chat with them to reduce their pain.

Li Ruoxing was already unconscious when she was brought to the treatment center, and she was sent by a thin boy. The boy was dressed in shabby clothes, and there was a terrible scar on the left side of his face, which made this boy who should have looked beautiful a little hideous. He staggered but resolutely ran with the unconscious Li Ruoxing on his back, and the girl had a red ribbon wrapped around her left wrist, which looked very conspicuous against the background of her white arm. In the early morning wind, this scene actually has a touch of poignant.

"You're going to get infected like this, you should contact the patrol guard to get her here. Guan Chunuan said with some reproach when he took the girl from his back.

"It's too late, she, she, she wants to kill herself!" the boy almost cried. At this time, Xu Ming realized that the red ribbon on the girl's wrist was not actually red, nor was it a ribbon, it was a piece of clothing fabric torn off by the boy. "Save her, leave me alone, I'm a monk, I'm fine......" The boy's voice grew quieter, and he fell to the ground.

"The boy was just fainting from exhaustion, and he was not sick, so he could rest assured. Ouyang Nanshan pulled Xu Ming and Guan Chunuan out of the door, and whispered: "But that girl is very troublesome, she has a very serious hysteria, she is depressed, and she does not cooperate with the treatment, so the situation will get worse and worse." ”

"What should I do then?" Xu Ming anxiously asked Ouyang Nanshan, after so many days in the treatment center, he had completely fallen into the role of a medical worker.

Ouyang Nanshan touched his chin: "There must be a reason for everything, there must be something that made her suffer from hysteria, and I have to trouble you to ask on the side to see if there is a chance to cure her." ”

Xu Ming and Guan Chunuan nodded again and again: "This is our business, and we will do our best." ”

The boy often came to see Li Ruoxing. He also often brings gadgets, such as bamboo dragonflies and so on, to make girls laugh. But the girl always looked at the boy without saying a word, and kept seeing the boy nervous, rubbing his hands together and not knowing what to say. The boy will also tell the girl stories and jokes, but his storytelling skills are very poor, and the jokes are not funny, and he always unconsciously embarrasses himself, and then coughs embarrassedly to think about the next topic. The boy's name is Fang Chenyi, which is the name he gave himself.

When the boy was away, Xu Ming was always by Li Ruoxing's side. Probably because of the relatively thin face, the girl's eyes appeared large, but dull, and her face often turned pale because of the pain in her abdomen, and the beads of sweat the size of beans fell with tears drop by drop, but she was strong and did not make a sound at all.

She was a depressed but not fragile girl. Such a girl is terrible, and it is even more terrible to be able to defeat such a strong girl. Although the girl refused to take medicine or accept treatment after arriving at the treatment center, she was not noisy or noisy, and she never thought about suicide again, if it weren't for the dazzling scar on the girl's white wrist, Xu Ming would have almost forgotten that the girl was sent to the wrist that was soaked in blood. The girl always secretly wept at night, and the tears that sparked like pearls in the moonlight were distressing to see.

Fang Chenyi came every day and performed a one-man show in front of Li Ruoxing's bed. One day, looking at Li Ruoxing, who was staring at Fang Chenyi's back and gradually disappearing, Xu Ming suddenly said: "He's fine, isn't he?" The girl suddenly laughed, she hadn't eaten well for a few days, and she didn't rest well, the smile on her haggard face was not beautiful, and even a little miserable, but Xu Ming could see the happiness in her heart: "Yes, he's fine." ”

Xu Ming sat on the chair next to the bed and poured a cup of hot water for Li Ruoxing. The girl stretched out her little red hand and held the cup: "Thank you." The girl held the cup in her hand, but did not drink it, and stared ahead with a complicated look in her eyes but without purpose. The water vapor forms a small cloud at the mouth of the cup.

"Immortal Xu, do you believe in love?" the girl said without warning.

"Xu Xianxiang doesn't believe in love, how do I know. Xu Ming secretly complained in his heart, looking at the girl's big watery eyes: "Believe it, why don't you believe it?"

The girl lowered her head and sighed: "I also believed in it, I believe that love can change a person." The girl said, and raised her head again to look at the direction Fang Chenyi was walking: "But then I found out that it didn't seem to be able to change him." ”

Xu Ming was waiting for the following, but the girl didn't speak anymore, like a half-digged author who lacked morality, patted his ass and left, not caring about the reader's feelings at all. Xu Ming couldn't send her the blade, even if she was right in front of his eyes.

Approaching the end of the year, and the great epidemic, the streets of Taishan County were deserted, the cold wind passed through the streets, and the occasional passers-by hurried with their heads down. Fang Chenyi came later and later every day, and the time spent in front of Li Ruoxing's bed became shorter and shorter. Li Ruoxing still didn't speak, watching Fang Chenyi's shrinking one-man show every day. Until one day, the sun set, the moon came out, Fang Chenyi had not yet appeared, Li Ruoxing suddenly felt a little flustered, she looked around, wanted to find Xu Ming, but found that Xu Ming was also gone, Guan Chunuan was comforting a child with a stomachache not far away. Li Ruoxing sighed slightly and quietly closed his eyes.

"Are you sure it's here?"

"That's for sure, my zealous citizen Xu someone's information is absolutely accurate!"

"Okay, get ready to go!"

A group of men in black took advantage of the night to shuttle between the rooftops and came to an inconspicuous small shack. The dim light in the shack leaked through the crack in the door, and everything seemed to be normal.

Xu Ming's ears moved, and he said to Tang Yao, the captain of the monk guard team beside him, "There's nothing wrong with it, this is it!" Tang Yao nodded, beckoned to the people behind him, and the guard team instantly surrounded the small shack.

"The strip is coming, and the wind is howling!"

"The people in this world are so miserable that they can't even say it. Xu Ming shook his head, and sneaked away while Tang Yao was not paying attention.

Fang Chenyi lay panting on a haystack not far from the treatment center, his hands tightly clutching the burden on his chest. "This came at the right time, and I almost lost it all!"

"That's not it, don't look at who called it!" A familiar voice sounded behind Fang Chenyi, and Fang Chenyi broke out in a cold sweat. He turned around, and Xu Ming sat on the haystack and looked at him with a playful smile. Fang Chenyi suddenly felt like a monkey.

Fang Chenyi subconsciously hugged the burden on his chest: "I won it back with dignity, what do you want to do?"

Xu Ming shook his head: "I have no interest in men, and I am not interested in your money, even if they are won by gambling." ”

Fang Chenyi didn't understand the meaning of Xu Ming's first half of the sentence, but when he heard Xu Ming expose the origin of his money, he still blushed a little: "I am a normal card player to win, not gambling!"

"Yes, yes, how can it be called gambling when playing cards during the New Year!" Xu Ming smiled and pointed to Fang Chenyi's burden: "I'll think about what you want all this money for." Buy a gift for Li Ruoxing, change your clothes, or take out some money as the capital for doing business in the future?"

Fang Chenyi nodded awkwardly and said, "Actually, I still want to send some money to Aunt Wang." ”

Xu Ming nodded: "Do you know that if I don't take the guards to catch gambling, you don't want any money tonight!"

"Impossible!" Fang Chen blushed and retorted with a stiff neck: "The money I won is already barely enough, I'm ready to win another and I'll leave!"

"Oh, what if you lose?" Xu Ming looked at him and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Fang Chenyi gritted his teeth: "Then I'll stop too, it's a big deal that I won't buy clothes for myself." ”

Xu Ming shook his head: "You will continue, first use the money for business, then use the money for your Aunt Wang, and finally use the money to buy gifts for Li Ruoxing." ”

"No way, I will never use the money I used to buy gifts for the stars!" Fang Chenyi retorted fiercely.

"Gambler mentality, you haven't tried its charm yet!" Xu Ming looked at Fang Chenyi with some contempt, "What do you know?"

Fang Chenyi was not convinced: "Then you know very well?"

"When I threw money to strengthen the equipment, you didn't fucking know how to run!"

Fang Chenyi didn't understand what he didn't understand, and when he saw Xu Ming, who was emotional, he didn't dare to speak for a while, and stood there stupidly with his burden in his arms.

"Girls should not only be given promises, but also a future. Xu Ming looked at Fang Chenyi, who was protecting the burden, "You understand a little late, but fortunately it's not too late." ”

"Oh no, Li Ruoxing bit her tongue and committed suicide!" Xu Ming suddenly heard Guan Chunuan's panicked voice, he looked at Fang Chenyi, his eyes were full of regret and sadness.
