Chapter 17: Past and Present

There are two large iron doors in crimson, and a large plaque on the door, which is painted with gold paint with four big characters "Red Whisk Medical Pavilion". On each side of the plaque is a pennant, which reads: "Save the Dead and Help the Wounded" and "Wonderful Hands Rejuvenate".

There is an avenue in the door, leading directly to the atrium, the road is lined with green willows, flowers and plants are luxuriant, at first glance, there is a kind of beautiful scenery in the world, but the feeling of Erer ......

Along the avenue, there is a red sign with black letters:

"The founding patriarch of the Red Whisk Medical Pavilion: 'Red Whisk Girl' Zhang Chuchen. Whoever joins our faction will take 'red' as his surname. Red is regarded as blood, blood is through the heart, the heart is treated, and the virtue is treated: the injury must be treated, the disease must be treated, the difficulty of the person is urgent, and the worry of the person is solved. ”

The words were deeply engraved into the red card, and in some places the black paint had fallen off. I don't know how many ups and downs they have gone through to become what they are today.

There is also rice paper attached to the bottom of the card, and you can see that it was added later. The rice paper reads: "The three evils of the rivers and lakes are hated by everyone, and the people in the medical pavilion cannot be cured." ”

This is the east gate of the Red Whisk Pavilion, and it is also the only gate that leads directly to the atrium.

Along the road, we crossed a small bridge, the water flow under the bridge was gentle, and several pairs of mandarin ducks frolicked by themselves.

Facing is a three-story attic, looking at it from a distance, it doesn't seem to be big, and when you walk in, look at it again, it's really not small.

This is the Library Pavilion, also known as the General Pavilion, where the head of the Red Whisk Medical Pavilion, Hong Zihua, stays on weekdays.

In the past, all matters big and small, all the people in the cabinet reported here. If there is an important patient, he will also come here and be treated by him.

The Library Pavilion, as you hear the name, knows that it contains a lot of books, and of course they are all their medical books. There is the essence of the ancestors, and there are also the celebrities of the present......

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl slowly pushed open the door of the General Pavilion......

The building was empty, and the medical books that had been sorted out in the past were now scattered all over the place, as if a group of people had been frantically rummaging here.

The girl's face was sad, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were like red jade, but she was not her, because her face was more immature.

In the past, she would not be so quiet, she was much more cheerful than her sister Ruby. She always looks like she is smiling, even when she is angry with her sister, she seems to be smiling. She was always bouncing around, wrapping around her father, asking this and that, trying to let her sit quietly for half an hour, but she refused.

But now, with a bitter face, she sat quietly alone where her father used to sit, pondering.

Da came another man outside the door, a young man in his twenties, wearing a short blood-red waistcoat, with loose hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a dark complexion.

He stepped into the main pavilion, and Hongxia saw him at a glance.

He carried a knife on his back, and the people in the medical pavilion were not allowed to bring a sword here, but even if he was a person in the medical pavilion, he still carried a knife.

"Sister Xia, you're back. ”

"Brother Zhi, why haven't you left yet?"

The person who carried the knife was called Hongzhi. "I'm gone, but I'm back, and I still can't rest assured Uncle Zihua. ”

"You shouldn't have come back. ”

"If I don't come back, how can I see you?"

Hongxia sighed sadly and said, "Where did my father go?"

Hong Zhi said: "Uncle Zihua was captured by Qiu Tianyu. ”

Hongxia slapped it on the table fiercely, gritted her teeth, and said hatefully: "It's Zheng Youlong's minions again!"

She slowly picked up a book from the ground, and without looking closely, she thought it was a medical book, and muttered: "Father, your medical skills are so exquisite, but what is the use? You teach us to read medical books and learn medical skills, let us govern people with virtue, and save the common people, regardless of right and wrong, and not greedy for money, but in the end, what is the use? You have saved so many heroes and heroes, but when the medical pavilion is in trouble, where are they? You have widely distributed heroic stickers and invited heroes from all over the world to come and relieve the siege, but what kind of heroes have really come? You have all your medical skills, but what's the use? you can't even beat a cripple Qiu Tianyu!"

Hongzhi said slowly: "Qiu Tianyu also brought a lot of people, but when he caught Uncle Zihua, he was the only one who stretched out his hand, and he only used one move. ”

She threw the book to the ground in a huff, it wasn't actually a book, but an excerpt. She just thought it was weird, so she picked it up and saw that it was the title deed of the Red Whisk Medical Pavilionβ€”the title deed of a full 300-mile radius.

Hongxia asked angrily, "Didn't my father fight back?"

"He may ......," Hongzhi couldn't continue.

Hongxia then asked, "How do you know so clearly?"

"I ...... I was also caught by them, and they searched through the library, but they didn't seem to find what they were looking for, and then they took my uncle away, but released me again. ”

Hongxia looked at the title deed in her hand and said, "It's really strange, they don't even care about this land with a radius of more than 300 miles, what do they want to get here?"

Hongzhi said: "They said they were looking for a secret medicine. ”

Hongxia asked, "What kind of medicine are you looking for?"

Hongzhi shook his head and said, "They just said secret medicine. ”

Hongxia really didn't know what secret medicine there was in the Medical Pavilion, although there were many medicines in the Medical Pavilion, there seemed to be no secrets. She shook her head unconsciously, and said, "I have already received the peace letter from the alliance leader, and I will ...... tomorrow."

Suddenly, a burst of arrogant laughter came from outside the door, interrupting Hongxia's words. The two of them looked out together, and saw a group of people standing on the small bridge outside the attic, led by an old man of fifty or sixty years old, he was wearing sloppy clothes, a sloppy beard, long greasy gray hair, tied with a strip of rotten cloth, and the grease stains on his face were like a stove that had not been brushed for a long time, that is, black and greasy...... He had a sick left leg, which was one section shorter than his right, and he was on crutches in his hands.

Hongxia just glanced at him slightly, and then felt a wave of nausea. She had never seen such a sloppy person.

Hong Zhi said: "It's him, he's Qiu Tianyu, it's he who captured Uncle Zihua." ”

Qiu Tianyu laughed for a while, his eyes fixed on Hongxia's body like an iron nail.

Hongxia said: "Qiu Daxia, I heard that you took my father, but I don't know where my father offended you?"

Qiu Tianyu and his subordinates burst into laughter, and after laughing, Qiu Tianyu said: "Offended?" I just came to find a secret medicine, if he gave it obediently, I wouldn't embarrass him." It's just that your father is too stubborn and refuses to tell the whereabouts of the secret medicine or hand over the formula, and he is forced to invite him to stay at Zheng's house for a few days. Don't worry, as soon as we get the secret medicine, we will release your father immediately. ”

Hongzhi called out "bastard", ran over, and slashed at Qiu Tianyu's face.

Qiu Tianyu's crutches were gently raised, and the knives touched, and the knife flew somewhere. Even Qiu Tianyu didn't know, of course he didn't bother to look for it, so he limped and punched Hongzhi into the river.
