Chapter 9 But the weather is cool and autumn
The bearded man's eyes were full of fear, all he saw was Lan Qianyang holding the girl with both hands, and he didn't see when he drew the sword at all, even if the eyes could deceive people, but the ears wouldn't, because he didn't even hear the sound, the sword on his back was still on his back, as if it hadn't been unsheathed just now! At this time, he could only pretend to be calm, and gently wiped the cold sweat that kept breaking out on his forehead with his hand, and understood that this was the Lord who could not be provoked, and said: " That's it, today is a capsized boat in the gutter, you ...... Let's go. Apparently terrified to the extreme, even his voice trembled.
Lan Qianyang was not in a hurry to leave, and with a glance, he saw the door that had just been kicked and broken, and the door was broken into many pieces of wood of different lengths, urging the internal force to sweep it hard with his feet, and the wood shot towards everyone like a hidden weapon, and immediately everyone was killed by the god of death, some people had a piece of wood of different lengths on their foreheads, some on their faces, some on their throats, and some on their chests!
The dusty woman was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak. I thought that although there was no freedom here, at least I still ate and drank spicy food, and I thought that I would have no regrets in my life if I got freedom, but I didn't expect that this person in front of me was more cruel than this group of robbers, and he really just got out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth. Thinking of his bad luck, he cried sadly.
Lan Qianyang has always been concerned about Nangong Yu's safety, and he was so anxious that he simply ignored the existence of the person next to him, and when he heard her cry, he was even more confused, and shouted: "Get out!" Nangong Yu in his arms and the woman next to him were really jumped.
The woman was stunned for a moment, and immediately overjoyed, and ran out the door without looking back.
Lan Qianyang looked at Nangong Yu in his arms with a haggard face, and kept coughing, touching her forehead with his hand, it was scary, it seemed that she was infected with a serious wind chill, and she had to find a place to recuperate, and now there is nothing in the wilderness. The nearest market is also more than ten miles away, and Lan Qianyang walked towards the nearest market without saying a word.
I finally arrived at an inn, looked up, and the words "Ruyi Inn" were written on it. I heard that it was the best inn in this market, and as soon as I entered the door, the shopkeeper who was settling accounts asked very enthusiastically: "Yo, is the guest here to eat or to stay in the hotel?"
Lan Qianyang looked at him without saying a word, and the shopkeeper saw Nangong Yuhou in his arms and shouted very knowingly: "There is a guest room with a local name." ”
Lan Qianyang finally spoke: "I want a celestial number." ”
The shopkeeper said helplessly: "I'm really sorry, the Tianzi room is full, do you think you can be accommodating......"
"Smack" Lan Qianyang threw the soul-chasing sword on the counter of the shopkeeper and said, "You can ask if it's okay." ”
The shopkeeper immediately called Xiao Er and said, "Take some silver and give it to Boss Su of Tianzi No. 3, and let him move to the room of Tianzi No. 3 for the sake of my face." Xiao Twenty looked at the shopkeeper in embarrassment, Lan Qianyang also looked at him, the shopkeeper's cold sweat oozed out, and he looked at the soul-chasing sword on the table and signaled, Xiao Er looked at it, and immediately understood something, and immediately went upstairs, and after a while, he came down and said to Lan Qianyang with a forced smile: "Guest officer, please." ”
After putting Nangong Yu on the bed and placing it, he touched her forehead with his hand, it was really hot, and it seemed that she had to find a doctor for her. At this time, Xiao Er had not left, Lan Qianyang turned to Xiao Er and said, "Find me the best doctor." Then he took out a few taels of silver from his bosom and gave it to him, but Xiao Er did not leave in a hurry after taking the silver. Lan Qianyang was puzzled and asked, "Why? Isn't it enough?"
Xiao Er said helplessly: "It's not that the silver is not enough, you don't know, the best doctor we have here doesn't come to diagnose patients, only by himself." ”
Lan Qianyang said: "You tell him that if he doesn't come, what's the use of keeping a pair of feet." ”
Xiao Er's face changed, and he turned to leave.
Soon the doctor came, picked up Nangong Yu's hand and checked the pulse and said: "This girl has a serious cold, she has been dragging on for many days, and she doesn't know martial arts, if she has a few more days, I'm afraid she will worry about her life, and I don't know what you think as a husband." As he spoke, he was also thinking that if I didn't come today, I was afraid that my life would be in danger.
Lan Qianyang was stunned, looked at him with a strange look, and didn't say a word, as if he was going to eat him.
The doctor also realized that he had said the wrong thing and did not know what to do, so he said, "I will prescribe a prescription and take medicine according to this, and in a few days, the patient will be cured." After speaking, he got up and wrote the prescription, and left in a hurry after writing, as if he was running away from something, Xiao Er took it, only to see that the prescription read: "Ephedra two coins, cinnamon branches one penny, almonds one penny, boiled licorice half a penny, fried three times a day, the first two times add water just to soak the herbs, boil slowly until the water is dry, the third time add a little water to boil a small bowl to take the juice, take it several times a day, within three days, it will be cured!"
Xiao Er said: "Then the guest officer, I'll go and boil medicine for you." ”
Lan Qianyang said: "Give me a pound of daughter red, two pounds of cooked beef, and a plate of peanuts," looked at Nangong Yu on the bed, and added: "Another plate of tofu, a bowl of porridge, and a plate of side dishes." Then he took a minotion of silver from his bosom and gave it to him, which was twenty taels.
Xiao Er smiled: "Wait a minute, guest officer, I'll go and prepare." ”
After a while, the wine and food were delivered to the room, and Lan Qianyang looked at Nangong Yu and said, "Are you hungry? ”
Nangong Yu didn't answer, Lan Qianyang saw that she wasn't asleep and ignored herself, she was bored with herself, and she didn't speak. Ignore her anymore, and eat beef and drink wine by himself. After he had eaten and drunk, he asked again, "Would you like to eat?"
Nangong Yu on the bed looked at him and didn't say a word. Lan Qianyang was about to go out and call Xiao Er to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, when Nangong Yu spoke: "Why did you save me? Why do you want to save me if you want to kill me? Wouldn't it be better to let me die?"
Lan Qianyang turned his back to her and didn't say a word, because he didn't know how to answer, and he didn't know why he wanted to save her. So I don't know how to answer, but fortunately he rarely speaks, and he is still as silent as ever. Nangong Yu saw that he didn't speak, and knew that it was useless to say more, so he didn't ask.
It was bustling outside the door, but it was terrifyingly quiet inside, Lan Qianyang had been standing there, with his back to her, motionless, like a sculpture.
"Knock knock...... Knock knock", someone knocked on the door, and at the same time there was an inquiring voice: "Is the guest officer there, is the guest officer there?" It turned out to be the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper saw that no one replied for a long time, thinking that something had happened, and pushed the door in.
The "squeak" door opened, and Xiao Er bumped into Lan Qianyang's body as soon as he entered the door.
Xiao Er hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry officer, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The little one came to see if the guest officer had finished eating. Lan Qianyang looked at Xiao Er, his expression was still so cold, but he was still grateful for his arrival, because his arrival broke the embarrassing atmosphere.
Xiao Er looked at the table, there was not much beef and peanuts left, but the bowl of porridge, a plate of tofu, and a plate of side dishes had not been touched. Xiao Er has seen more people over the years, and mistakenly thought that the little couple was in a mood, so they turned around and left, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the girl hasn't eaten yet, so I'll come later." ”
Lan Qianyang said: "Pick these up." ”
When Nangong Yu heard him say this, a tear silently stayed from the corner of her eye, and she didn't know why. I obviously have my heart dead, but why do I care so much about his words. Xiao Er didn't want to go against the guest's will after hearing this, so he had to pick it up, and when he walked out of the door after the collection was completed, Lan Qianyang said: "Replace the three things that have not been eaten with a hot one and send them again." Xiao Er didn't know what to do just now, but when he heard Lan Qianyang's words, he immediately smiled, and hurriedly replied: "Okay, guest officer, you wait a minute, I'll come right away." ”
Nangong Yu also heard this sentence, but her tears flowed even harder.
After a while, Xiao Er brought a bowl of porridge, a plate of tofu, and a plate of side dishes again.
In fact, Nangong Yu has been hungry for a long time, but the running around in the past few days has made her whole body weak, and coupled with the infection of wind and cold, she really has no strength at all. Lan Qianyang also understands that he doesn't know what to do, so he can't feed her by himself. All these years have been taking care of themselves, since Xing'er was killed by himself many years ago, he has never taken care of other women, and he is a ruthless swordsman who must not have ordinary emotions, but unfortunately, in the depths of his heart, the emotion for Xing'er was gradually awakened by the woman who looked like Xing'er in front of him, and he was in a dilemma, thinking twice, maybe to make up for the regrets of the year, or maybe to apologize to Xing'er, he suddenly felt that his attitude as a swordsman seemed nothing compared to her body, and finally he slowly walked to the table, picked up the bowl of porridge and sat down on the side of the bed。
Nangong Yu wanted to reach out and catch it, but she didn't have enough strength. She looked at Lan Qianyang, and Lan Qianyang also looked at her, and the moment their eyes met, all the defenses in her heart had collapsed, and the tears flowed even more. And at that moment, Lan Qianyang's heart seemed to be pierced through his chest by a sharp long sword, as if this sword was the same sword he used to kill Xing'er, he would never forget the scene where Xing'er died in his arms, the helplessness and confusion in her eyes, and she didn't understand why her brother Qianyang wanted to kill herself. Lan Qianyang's heart was extremely painful, because he found that Nangong Yu's eyes were strikingly similar to Xing'er's eyes back then! Lan Qianyang immediately turned his head to the side, and this pain was slightly reduced.
Nangong Yu looked at him and turned her head, her heart seemed to have been stabbed by something, and she was slowly dripping blood. Lan Qianyang really couldn't bear this kind of heartache, and suddenly stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly he was hugged by Nangong Yu on the bed from behind, and even Nangong Yu himself didn't know where the strength came from.
Nangong Yu begged: "Please, don't go." ”
Lan Qianyang really couldn't bear this pain anymore, he felt a sweet throat, and a mouthful of blood spit out, but the porridge didn't spill a bit. Nangong Yu looked at him in surprise, let go of him, and fell to the ground himself.
Lan Qianyang wanted to walk towards the door immediately, but his feet seemed to be fixed on the ground, and he couldn't take a step. After a while, Lan Qianyang's inner pain was temporarily calmed, put the porridge on the table, and helped her to the bed, but he didn't look at her. It's not that she doesn't want to, but she doesn't dare, Lan Qianyang understands that what she has in her eyes may kill her.
But it seemed that something more important than life was pulling him away, so that he could not leave her. Lan Qianyang also tried to explore this kind of thing, but it only disappeared without a trace in a flash of inspiration.
After placing Nangong Yu, he picked up the bowl of porridge just now and came to the bed, scooped up a scoop and tried the temperature, it was just right to be lukewarm or hot. Then, for some reason, his hands were shaking violently, he tried to control himself and slowly went to feed her. From the moment Nangong Yu opened his mouth, everyone didn't know that Lan Qianyang, the previous owner of the Soul Chasing Sword, began to die gradually.
