Can't help but be in the city

Mingxu was sitting on the edge of the bed and looking out the window, there was no sunlight in the city today, and the whole sky was shrouded in overcast dark clouds, and it seemed that a heavy rain was about to fall.

She was expressionless, holding the things left by Mingshu in her hand, it was a letter to Gu Su Yuan, the letter was entrusted with Ming Shu's thick feelings for Gu Su Yuan, this letter Ming Su read countless times, every word in it, every emotion she remembered, she could also understand her mother's heart back then, she thought a lot, she was looking at her for her mother, even if it was just a glance, and asked him why he was so ruthless at the symposium that year.

"Mingxu, why don't you drink today's medicine?" Mingqiu stood outside the door and saw Mingxu looking out the window in a daze.

Mingxu hurriedly retracted his thoughts and replied: "I don't want to drink, and I don't see any better drinking every day." She has been drinking this medicine for decades, and the ghost doctor has also healed her for decades, and Mingxu also knows that if there is no ghost doctor, she probably won't be alive now.

"Then drink it too. Mingqiu heard the maid beside Mingxu say that he gave Mingxu medicine today and didn't drink it, so he came to take a look.

Mingxu glanced at the medicine that was already cold on the bedside table, and said, "Brother, I want to see Gu Suyuan before I die." ”

Mingqiu walked in and saw her holding Mingshu's letter in her hand and said, "Why are you obsessed with your mother's past and can't extricate yourself?" Mingqiu didn't understand why Mingqiu had been reading the letters left by her mother repeatedly for so many years, leaving all the memories of her and Gusu's wishes.

"I just don't think it's worth it, my mother has never hurt any innocent person in her life, just because she is a person in the demon world, she has hurt two people, or even two generations. ”

Mingxu didn't understand why he was forcing his mother to death.

"Don't worry about these things, it's not what you should think, just drink the medicine honestly and live well. Mingqiu was also tired and panicked for Mingshu, and lived in Mingshu's regrets all day long.

"Okay, I'll drink medicine" Mingxu stood up and walked to the window and looked out of the window, at this time it was already raining heavily outside the window, wetting the flowers and plants in the yard, and even the glazed tiles were crackling.

It was also such a rainy day, the last time she saw her mother, she said that she was going to ask Gu Su Yuan, if she could have her in her heart, even if it was just for a moment, and this time her mother never came back. After speaking, Mingxu's tears fell.

Mingqiu stood behind her and saw that she had lost a lot of weight, it seemed that a gust of wind could blow her down, and it was difficult for her, this inky black medicine could smell bitter ten miles away, but she had drunk it for decades.

Although they are not biological brothers and sisters, Mingqiu treats her as a sister, just because his mother told him to take good care of Mingxu, maybe, Mingxu is also a belief and a witness of his mother, so his mother loves her very much.

"Don't think about it, I'll take you to Gusu Yuan when I have time. Mingqiu knew that Mingqiu's body was overdrawn, and she didn't know how many days she had to live, so she agreed to this request first, and she had read this request for many years.

Ming Xu wiped the tears on his face, turned around happily and said, "Really?"

Seeing her thin slap-sized face, Mingqiu nodded a little distressed, although he didn't know if he could do it.

"Well, then I'll get ready, and I'm going to give him all the letters that my mother has left behind, so that he can see how much she misses him. Mingxu was so excited that he ran under the bed and turned out a wooden box, which was full of letters.

"You say, Gu Su is willing to see these letters, will he regret it, regret that he killed his mother with his own hands. Ming Xu said as he sorted it out.

Mingqiu didn't answer, he didn't care, he didn't care what Mingshu had for Gu Su back then, and he didn't care if Gu Su liked his mother, he only knew that Gu Su was willing to kill his mother with his own hands.

"Don't clean it up, I'll have someone warm it up for you, and you can remember to drink it in a while." After speaking, Mingqiu took the medicine on the bedside table and left.

Mingxu was still sorting out the box of letters, and he didn't look up.

Outside the inner hall, Tang Yang sat on a chair and waited for the summons of the demon lord Bingkun.

It wasn't long before a man's magnetic voice came from the inner sanctum, "Come in." ”

Tang Yang pushed open the door and walked in, Bingkun was wearing a black robe and sitting on a cushion leaning against the table with his hands supporting his head, a pair of Danfeng eyes slightly closed, a straight nose bridge, thick lips, although he was middle-aged, he inevitably exuded the charm of a mature man.

"Demon Lord" Tang Yang stepped forward and saluted.

"How's Mancheng doing?" Bingkun said without opening his eyes

"Master Fan was over there, and he didn't reply. Tang Yang said.

"Master Fan is acting too much in his own way, you also go over and keep an eye on it, don't let him make any mess for me, now is not the time to tear his face. ”

"Yes. ”

"I heard that those young people are still coming to the city?" Bingkun opened his eyes and looked at Tang Yang and asked.

"Yes, just arrived two days ago,"

Bingkun frowned, "It seems that they are really capable,"

"If you want to attack Yancheng, you have to get rid of them first. ”

"The demon lord can listen to Si Qianji and use the Gusu family as a breakthrough. Tang Yang suggested.

"It's not time yet, our situation is not stable yet, our strength is not strong enough, and the Thousand Buddha's hands have not come out yet, so let's come according to the plan first. ”

"Yes. ”

"Let's get out" Bingkun beckoned, and continued to close his eyes.

"The subordinates retired. ”

Tang Yang saluted and turned to leave the inner hall.

Bingkun opened his eyes and looked at Yangli, the new name he had given himself, on the table, it seemed that it was time to go out and meet them.

All over the city

It took Situ Mo and the others a day to reach the city, and a few people got off their horses and prepared to enter the city, but there were not a few people in the city, and the already small city seemed empty.

"Well, why is there no one?" Situ Mo said curiously.

Yun Mengyin saw a little brother coming from the opposite side, stopped him and asked, "What about you people here, why can't there be a single person in such a big city?"

The man resignedly said, "In ...... In the Castle Lord's Mansion. With that, he ran away.

Several people looked at each other and were very puzzled, why were they all in the City Lord's Mansion?

"Let's go, let's see what's going on. Murong He said.

Several people led the horses to the middle of the street, and it didn't take long to arrive at the mansion of the city lord of the city.

Several servants were guarding the gate of the mansion, and when they saw someone coming, they immediately ran in to report, and it didn't take long for a young man to come, he was dressed luxuriously, not like an ordinary person.

The man immediately smiled and came out to greet him.

"It's really disrespectful and disrespectful, so that you didn't go to the city gate to pick it up in person. ”

"You are the Lord of the City?" asked Situ Mo.

"Oh, I'm not, I'm Duan Fu, the Duan Immortal Master of the Duan Clan's Immortal Sect"

I see

"What about the City Lord?" asked Yun Mengyin.

"Uh...... A few days ago, he encountered a cold and was unwell, I don't know if he was infected with the plague, and now he is under observation," Duan Fu replied.

"Why did the lord of his city contract the plague?" asked Situ Mo, puzzled.

"It's a long story, but I'll take your time. ”

After speaking, Duan Fu stepped aside and made a gesture of please.

The servants on the side immediately came over to help lead the horses, and Situ Mo and the others entered the house.

I don't know if I don't enter, I was startled when I entered, the house and the courtyard were full of people, all of them were in bad spirits, weak, and pale.

Situ Mo, Murong He and the others bypassed the people and slowly walked into the inner hall.

"This ...... Are all these people suffering from the plague?" Si Qianhuaixin asked in surprise, and there were hundreds of people in the face.

"No, these people are just like the city lord Hua Shu, similar to the wind and cold, but the people who have the plague also have this symptom at first. Duan Fu said.

"So how long does it take from this symptom to the onset of the disease. Murong He asked

"It didn't take long, it was only ten days, and after ten days, they would have ulcers on the surface of their bodies, and then they would have trouble breathing, and the process would be five days. Duan Fu said

Yun Mengyin glanced at each other, showing a frightened expression, and his whole body festered to suffocate to death, how painful and desperate it was.

Murong He looked at the group of people outside, if they found the antidote within ten days, then they could still be saved.

"Are they the only ones? What about the others?" asked Helian Wuxi.

"They are in the early stages of the disease, some of them are not infected, and some of them are already starting to ulcerate on their skin. Duan Fu described.

"Where are those who have already fallen ill?" asked Murong He

"In the Backyard"

"Can we go and have a look?" Murong He said,

Duan Fu looked at Murong He in surprise, "Those people are already ill, and they are contagious." ”

Yun Mengyin grabbed Murong He and whispered, "Senior sister, don't go." ”

Murong He patted Yun Mengyin's hand to signal that she was fine,

"I want to see the injured and then I want to find a way to find a cure. ”

Duan Fu saw that Murong He was so calm, and looked at her young age with some admiration.

Duan Fu nodded and led her into the backyard.

Si Qianhuaixin and the others also followed her into the backyard.

I saw Duan Fu take them to a room in the backyard, and the door of the house was locked.

"This is it. Duan Fu stopped and said.

The door was tightly locked, and a wail could be heard inside.

“...... What does this mean?" Situ Mo wondered why he locked up those people, didn't he let them wait for death.

"Lock them up just to prevent them from spreading the plague to others," Duan Fu replied lightly.

"Then please open the door to Immortal Lord Duan, I want to go in and see the situation. Murong He said.

"You...... Do you really want to go in? If you ......" Before Duan Fu finished speaking, Murong He interrupted: "It's okay, just open it." ”

Helian Wuxi also stepped forward and said, "Xiao He, it's dangerous inside, you have to be fully prepared." ”

Murong He smiled, "Okay"

Duan Fu beckoned, ordered someone to bring the key, and he took the key to open the door himself.

The moment the door opened, a rancid smell poured out, and the few people standing in the door were almost fainted.

Duan Fu ordered someone to bring a handkerchief and give one to him, tie it between his ears, cover his mouth and nose, and prepare to go in.

"Be careful, and don't come into contact with the people inside, we haven't yet learned how this plague is contagious. When everyone was about to go in, Murong He suddenly stopped and said.

Everyone nodded and began to walk slowly inside.

Duan Fu stood at the door, his hands behind his back, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
