Chapter 2: The Spread of the Plague

Master has said that in this world where demons are rampant, anything can happen.

For example, now, Li Wanxiao was woken up by the sound of talking outside before she got up.

"Doctor, who would have thought that so many people would have fallen ill in just three or two days, and now our village is full of fever and vomiting, which is exactly the same as the previous Niujia Village! Everyone said that the plague was coming, and they were too scared to go out in broad daylight!"

"I'm the village chief。。。。。。 Hey, what can I do!"

This person is the village chief of Second Sister Zhang's village, a few days ago, someone suddenly fell ill in the nearby Niujia Village, and Second Sister Zhang, who knew how much medical skills, went to help to see, who wanted to come back, he couldn't afford to get sick, and he died in a few days. Immediately after the start of the Zhang family, people in the village fell ill one after another, and not many people cared about it at first, but they were a little frightened by the outbreak of the plague in the neighboring Niujia Village, and the whole village entered a closed state, and no one dared to go in the direction of Niujia Village.

But the condition of the sick in the village became more and more serious, and gradually they began to die, and then more people contracted the same disease. At this time, everyone felt that something was wrong, and the villagers closed their doors, and even in broad daylight, it was difficult to see people in the streets and alleys.

The village chief also realized the seriousness of the problem, and was afraid that this would become the second Niujia Village, so he came to the mountain early in the morning to find the doctor, after all, the people in the surrounding villages knew that the master of Li Wanxiao not only knew some magic to ward off evil spirits, but also had very good medical skills.

"Master, are you here?"

Hearing the voice, the master glanced at Li Wanxiao who came out of the room, and the master and apprentice looked at each other and knew that what they had guessed had finally happened.

In any case, there was an outbreak of plague nearby, and he, as a doctor, should still go and see, regardless of whether it can be treated, it is still necessary to help take a look.

So the old man got off the errand, and after seeing off the village chief, he sat down at the table, lit a bag of cigarettes, and smoked silently.

"Master, this plague 。。。。。。 It's not easy to treat. ”

Sitting with his master with a sad face, he was reluctant to let his master go, most of the places where there was a plague outbreak were caused by demons, and if he wanted to be completely cured, he couldn't rely on medical skills alone, but also cooperated with the immortal method to drive away or eliminate the demons, so as to fundamentally eliminate the disaster. Needless to say, his master's medical attainments are naturally speaking, but the immortal method can only be used for simple exorcism, and when he meets a guy who really has Taoism, he is helpless.

The old master was silent for a long time, put the finished pipe back on the table, and said lightly: "Wanxiao, you come with the master and give you something for the master." ”

Li Wanxiao nodded, there have been accidents recently, and her expression is a little low. I followed Master to the bookshelf, and the shelves were scattered with ancient books that Master usually studied, and she turned over these books when she was fine, but she couldn't understand them, and she didn't bother to ask.

The old master took down a thick medical book from the shelf, blew the dust, and handed it to the little apprentice, "Wanxiao, this book is for you, you have to put it away." ”

The book is very heavy, a large thick one, and she has a headache when she looks at it, and immediately cries and says with a sad face: "Master, don't you want to endorse the book again?"

The old master shook his head, his eyes were calm, "Wanxiao, this Ten Thousand Forensic Medicine Sutra integrates the essence of various immortal methods and medical techniques, and it records a lot of things that have long been lost, maybe you can't understand it now, but you have to inherit the mantle of the master." ”

Leading his beloved disciples to the outhouse, the old master said in his heart: "In the future, you will either hang a pot to help the world, or accept disciples, no matter what choice you make, as a teacher, I hope you can remember that it is the responsibility of our life to be benevolent and relieve the suffering of the world." ”

Master's teaching came very suddenly, which also made Wanxiao's heart more and more heavy, although the master would teach her a few words on weekdays, but more of it was pampering and caring, even if she had no intention of learning, the master just smiled and let her mess around. Today, however, she felt a little unusual, vaguely that it seemed to be related to the plague.

"Master, the apprentice has written it down, I will definitely work hard!" The firm eyes revealed her determination, it was not easy for the master to raise herself, it was time for her to repay the master.

The old man nodded with great satisfaction, picked up the pipe on the table, and went back to his room, he was going to visit those plague villages in the afternoon, and he needed to prepare some things in advance.

Li Wanxiao sat in the outhouse, looking at the drizzle outside the door, the gloomy sky seemed to be overwhelming at any time, destroying everyone.

Demons, are they really that scary?

She has stayed in the mountain village since she was a child, and every time she goes to the town, she can hear some legends about demons and monsters coming out to harm people, but she herself has never seen it, and occasionally the master saves people, but she also avoids it, although she doesn't understand why, but the master must have his reason for doing this, so she didn't bother to ask.

After a simple lunch, the master went out with the medicine box on his back, and Li Wanxiao wanted to follow, but was blocked by the master's words.

"Go endorse, come back and check!"

Ay!

Sighing, looking at the back of the master holding the umbrella and leaving, she felt a little lonely for the first time when she was so old, staying at home alone, boredly flipping through the thick book, which recorded some myths and stories, all of which were the dispute between gods and demons three hundred years ago or even longer.

The little girl in a coarse cloth dress leaned back on the chair, reading the story intently, and her legs swayed back and forth, and before she knew it, she was shaking until dark.

When it was time to hold the lamp, the master had not yet returned, presumably because he had encountered a problem in the clinic and temporarily spent the night in the village.

Thinking of this, Li Wanxiao put down the book, silently went to the kitchen to heat up a bowl of leftovers, and ate casually while reading.

Reading a book at night and falling asleep, I still can't sleep well without a master at home, and I have nightmares after nightmares.

Hazy, I felt that the surroundings suddenly cooled down, and there was a white expanse in front of me, it seemed that it should be a room made of ice blocks, the room was empty, and a crystal clear ice coffin was placed on the platform in the center, and there was a fairy in white lying inside, with a beautiful face with a little coldness.

What an ice beauty!

Li Wanxiao swore that she had never seen such a beautiful and temperamental beauty in her life, and she wanted to lean over and take a closer look, but suddenly the door behind her opened.

Someone?!

Li Wanxiao was suddenly startled, and in a panic, she couldn't find a hiding place at all, and she looked at a man in a black robe in a daze.

This person's aura is very strong, although he can't see his face clearly, the oppressive aura coming from his body still makes Li Wanxiao can't help but retreat again and again.

"Suzen, I miss you. ”

The strong body of the man in black is hidden in the wide robe, even if he can't see his face clearly, he can still faintly feel his unique temperament, such a man has a gentle and affectionate gaze like water, his gaze fell on the woman in white in the ice coffin, with a faint sadness, very light, but very deep.

"Tomorrow, I'm leaving, I'm going to end it all. ”

His voice was very good, it seemed to have a reassuring magic, and he stood in the corner with a subtle smile on the corner of his lips, and a tear slipped inexplicably, exuding a warm breath in such a cold place.

She didn't know why she was crying, she just felt that this man was sad, and it was a heaviness that made people feel more painful than crying.

The man's black back gradually expanded, slowly turning into darkness. On the night when the master was not at home, there was a sense of security because of the man's wide and solid back in the dream.

The sky gradually brightened, and Li Wanxiao, who had slept all night, woke up feeling a little cold, and added a coat before going out to wash. Master still hasn't come back, and the day will be boring again.

I ate breakfast step by step, and then I snuggled up in bed to read stories, occasionally opening the window to stare at the rain outside, and I couldn't tell whether it was morning or evening in the gloomy weather.

As it got late, a trace of uneasiness began to arise in Wanxiao's heart, Master would never be relieved to let her stay at home alone for so long, would something happen to her before she came back at this time?

I stayed bored until the afternoon, seeing that the day was about to pass again, and the master still didn't see anyone, so I thought about it again and again, and finally put down the book and decided to go to the village to have a look.

With an umbrella and his small medicine box, he simply cleaned up and went out of the house.

Walking step by step in the light rain, the hem of the light blue clothes splashed with a little muddy water, the little girl had flexible legs and feet, and it didn't take long to see the entrance of the village.

In the evening, the village was pitch black, there was no one on the road, and it looked very terrible, but thinking that the master was here, Li Wanxiao, who was a little frightened, still had the courage to walk in.

The road was desolate, with no lights and no figures, and a deathly silence filled the village.

Li Wanxiao lit a small lantern, on such a slippery rainy day, it is easy to fall without light. Holding back the fear overflowing in his heart, he ran to the village chief's house with a familiar car, and only the village chief knew the whereabouts of the master.

In the whole village, only the village chief's house was still lit, and that glimmer of light was particularly warm in the bitter wind and rain.

"Tuk Tuk"

The courtyard door was closed very tightly, and Wanxiao knocked in the rain for a long time before there were voices in the house. It was the eldest son of the village chief who opened the door, and he was obviously stunned when he saw Li Wanxiao carrying the lantern, "Wanxiao, why are you here?"

The cold and shivering Li Wanxiao stepped in without waiting to speak, and hurriedly shook off the rain on his body, and asked tremblingly: "Brother Wang, is my master here with you?"

Seeing that she was in the dust, Brother Wang hurriedly helped carry the medicine box and led her into the house.

"At noon, I left the doctor and my father, and it seemed that something had happened, and we were both very anxious. ”

Li Wanxiao's face was full of doubts, "Where did you go?"

"I don't know, but I heard them say that I should go to Niujia Village. Brother Wang poured a cup of hot water to warm her body, and continued, "Doctor Li is very powerful, and after seeing the patient, he said that the root cause of the plague should be in Niujia Village, so I went out with my father after eating at noon, and I haven't come back yet, I don't know if something happened." ”

It can be seen that Brother Wang is also very anxious, but his mother died early in the family, and there are only two little sisters, so he can't leave at this time.

"Niujia Village。。。。。。 Li Wanxiao muttered, thinking in her heart, she naturally couldn't run out in the middle of the night, if the master didn't come back tomorrow, she would have to go to Niujia Village to have a look.
