The seventeenth time is late
"Do you have any other plans?"
"Yes, that's just the beginning...... the man in black laughed darkly.
"Do you think we still have value?" said the eldest brother of the trio, "in that case, you must not forget our reward." โ
"Of course. The man in black wiped the blood stains on the sword with a handkerchief and said, "No matter what, when Chu Cong sees this person, he must get rid of it." โ
"It's all up to you. The three of them inadvertently saw her murderous red eyes and relented.
"Don't procrastinate, have a more thorough plan. โ
......
The next evening, in front of a small clinic in the outer city of Luoyang City.
Da Da Da โ
"Just in time, the trip was completely within a week. I tightened the reins, looked at the bag containing Bilian Mountain Grass and said, "There is the clinic where Xin'er lives in front, and she will be very happy." โ
"Phew. I signaled the horses to stop. The horses meekly raised their front hooves and struck a human posture, stopping after a sound of horses.
"Excuse me, doctor. I lifted the curtain and found that there was not a single patient on the bed in the room.
The doctor swept through the medical books on the shelves with a duster, not noticing anyone coming in.
"Doctor, doctor?" I called a few times.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem. The doctor choked on the dust falling from the bookshelf, and after a pause, he said, "Ah, isn't this the young man from a few days ago?"
"Doctor, you still remember me. I scratched the back of my head and said, "Oh, by the way, doctor, do you remember a sick girl?"
"Uh...... There are a lot of patients these days, I don't remember much. โ
"It's the girl who was corrupted by the black gas. โ
"Oh oh, I remember, you're coming back from Bilian Mountain Grass, right?" the doctor patted his head and said, "Look at my foolish ......"
"The question is, where has that girl gone now?"
"She's ......," said the doctor, in a low tone, "unfortunately, she left this morning......
"Gone, you mean......" I stepped back slightly, my legs and feet began to go limp.
"Just as you think. The doctor put down the duster in his hand and said in a muttered voice, "She...... The condition worsens...... Really fast......"
"What? This black gas is actually ...... Impossible. "I stumbled and fell to the ground.
"In fact, I've never seen such a deadly disease in my decades of practice. With that, the doctor walked over to the bookshelf.
Whoop -
The shelves of medical books are scattered and disorganized.
"That alone makes me not in this position. The doctor slapped his pale and aging face vigorously and said, "I couldn't save her......"
"Doctor, don't do that. I grabbed the doctor's thin hands and said, "It's not your fault, it's mine." โ
"Is that you?"
"I ...... I don't know where this black gas comes from, I really don't know. I shook my head.
"Providence is hard to disobey. โ
"Doctor......
"Alright, young man, you don't want to waste any more time with me, do you? The doctor said haggardly, "I'm fine." โ
"I see. โ
As soon as I got out, I whistled and the horses rushed to the clinic.
"Please, horse. "I stepped on the stirrup with a quick stride as the horse passed by, and then I grabbed the reins of the horse, and was able to leap onto the horse.
Bang
Heavy rain began to fall in the sky. The refreshing rain soothed the heat and brought sadness. Pedestrians on the street have spread their oil umbrellas to protect themselves from the rain, and they are not related.
Wu's Tavern, in front of the gate on the first floor.
"Is anyone there?" I asked, knocking on the door, but no one answered inside.
That's right, now that the head of the Wu family is keeping a watch in the house with his family, he has no leisure time to take care of me, I thought to myself.
With a "squeak", the door was opened and a man's head peeked through the gap, unable to erase his emaciated face even as time passed.
"Who?" said Steward Wu's voice.
"Steward Wu, it's me. I said.
"It's so late, what's the point?"
"I, I think, want to come and see the second lady of your family......" I scratched the cheeks on my face with my fingers and said guiltily.
"The lord is now keeping a watch with his family at the coffin in the guest room on the second floor, please go back. โ
"This ...... I want to see her, even if it's just for a moment. I begged, even though the other person wouldn't.
The rain was getting heavier, and the sound of crackling sounded on Yan Tianchen's body, like a faint pain in his heart.
"No, it's not good, please go back. Steward Wu was resolute and there was no room for discussion.
I put the blessing on my back and the scabbard at the door, knelt solemnly for a moment, and then rode away in the rain, leaving only a bag to be blown by the wind and rain.
"Gollum-" I threw my head back and drank from the jug of wine in my hand.
A sentence like a sharp blade sounded again.
"As you think, she ...... The condition worsens...... Really fast......"
"No, it's not good, please go back. โ
"Save Xin'er ......"
"Maybe for some things, I'm still unforgivable. โ
......
"Shopkeeper, three more pots! I slammed the jar on the table, and said without any drunkenness.
"Guest, you've already drunk three pots. The shopkeeper kindly advised.
"I know, but I'm going to have to drink it, three more pots. โ
"Okay. Three jugs of wine!" The shopkeeper shouted.
"Xin'er...... It's me who is sorry for you. A tear slipped silently from the corner of my eye.
The next morning, it was raining heavily.
Before the tears dried and the wine was hard to swallow, I walked out of the door in a trance, not taking the heavy rain seriously at all.
"Your Excellency. Steward Wu put the oil umbrella on my wet head, handed the sword and said, "Let me take the liberty of coming with me." โ
"I thought about it for a while, and I felt that you were right, so now I don't have the face to go back. "I refused to take back the scabbard.
"The eldest lady wants to see you. โ
She thought...... See me?"
