44. Border Courtyard Town (1)

The two talked for a long time, but before they realized that time had passed, they suddenly heard the sound of a rooster crowing in the distance. Mu Qinglan stood up, stretched, yawned, and said, "It's too late, can you sleep for a while?" Qin Chuan said: "Ah, I forgot." You've been running around all day, and it's time to rest!"

After Mu Qinglan went, Qin Chuan turned off the lights and went to bed. Sitting cross-legged, trying to stimulate the vitality of the "Great Compassion Xuangong" in the sea of qi, I felt that there was a faint heat in the meridians everywhere for a week, and then flowed into the dantian, where I thought, the qi gradually smoothed.

He was overjoyed in his heart, and he was calm and meditative at the moment, and he worked hard to regulate his breath. Soon the Lingtai is empty, the soul is not wandering inward, the spirit does not travel outward, and a warm and baked true qi will flow from the dantian to the "Yin and Lung Meridians" of the three veins of Zhensuo, Governor and Chong, and then go to the tail Lu Pass, and then divide into two branches to go up, through the lumbar spine on both sides of the fourteenth vertebra of the "Roller Pass", and go up through the back, shoulder, neck and to the "Jade Pillow Pass", which is the so-called "Reverse Luck True Qi Pass Three Passes". Then the true qi goes up to the head over the "Baihui acupoint", divides into five paths, and the whole body qi and veins meet in the "Jizhong acupoint", and then divides the master and slave into two branches, and also merges in the dantian, and returns to the yuan.

In this way, the real air circulates for a week, which is the "Great Zhou Tian Transport" in the Qi Refining Method.

For a few days, Qin Chuan's internal injuries were entangled, and he couldn't lift his true qi, but tonight under the stimulation of the "Snow Ginseng Jade Toad Pill", and his own great compassion and profound Xuangong, once the breath was unobstructed, the recovery was very fast, and he knew that such pranayama would be able to restore his old view within seven days.

At that moment, the Great Compassion Xuangong True Qi ran for twelve weeks, and then he fell asleep on his pillow.

When I woke up, it was already dark.

He pushed the door out, only to see Elder Deng and Qiu Dalun and the others talking to each other in the patio, whispering, Qiu Dalun's neck turned red even more, as if he was arguing about something, and he didn't even notice that Qin Chuan walked closer.

A disciple of the Hundred Opera Gang was the first to see Qin Chuan. He immediately bowed and shouted, "See the helper!" Qin Chuan knew that he was a disciple of Elder Deng, named Huang Bao, and smiled: "Brother Huang doesn't need to be polite!"

Only then did everyone discover Qin Chuan and stepped forward to salute.

Qin Chuan saw that there were travelers and guys passing by in the inn, so he said: "There are many people here, so you don't have to be formal." Xiang Qiu Dalun said: "Brother Qiu, what happened?" Qiu Dalun was full of annoyance, and said, "Hui Yu Gang...... Qin Gongzi, his subordinates got the news early in the morning. Chen Jing, a five-bag disciple of the gang, and three brothers were killed in Taoyuan Town. Subordinates see help...... Before you woke up, you discussed with Brother Deng, wanting to go to Taoyuan Town to track down the murderer and arrange the future. Who knows that Brother Deng does not agree, so he argues here, what should be done in this matter, and ask the prince to show it. ”

Elder Deng coughed twice and said in a low voice, "Helper, how about we go to your room and discuss it again?" Qin Chuan nodded. Said: "It's okay." ”

Everyone arrived in Qin Chuan's room. Elder Deng frowned and said, "Helper, my subordinates think that there may be fraud in it, and Master Qiu Helm is leaving at this time, I'm afraid it's not very suitable!" Qin Chuan muttered: "Human life is at stake. Brother Chen of the Beggar Gang was killed, and Brother Qiu, who was the helmsman, went to find out the truth and deal with the aftermath. Why is Elder Deng opposed?"

Elder Deng said: "The help master's skills have not recovered, and his subordinates are worried that there will be enemies to disturb him. It will be detrimental to the helper. If the beggars leave, now that the two elders of the gang Wu Wang are not by the side of the gang leader, the subordinates are only afraid that there will be a difference. ”

Qin Chuan waved his hand. smiled and said: "I can walk and move now, and my body is fine, so it's okay." Master Qiu, you quickly lead the beggar brothers to Taoyuan Town to investigate the cause of death of Brother Chen and the other brothers. When I'm done taking care of the Hundred Drama Gang, I'll meet you again!"

Qiu Dalun was overjoyed, hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates have received orders, thank you for helping the leader!" Qin Chuan said: "Wait!" Qiu Dalun stood at the door and turned back in amazement.

Qin Chuan took out the dog beating stick, dragged his hands horizontally, and said with a smile: "Master Qiu, my brother is entrusted by the leader of your gang and Gu Gang, and he also leads the beggar gang. Although I am the leader of the Baiju Gang, in fact, in my heart, the Beggar Gang and the Baiju Gang have no distinction between each other, there is no one who is more important, I just hope you can understand!"

Qiu Dalun was very frightened, knelt down on his knees, bowed to the ground, and shouted: "My subordinates don't dare!" The other two beggar disciples also knelt down.

Qin Chuan didn't expect Qiu Dalun to be so shocked, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pick it up, and said, "Brother Qiu, don't be polite!" Qiu Dalun trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "If your subordinates have any offense, please help the master punish him!"

Qin Chuan pondered for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "No wonder the beggar gang is the number one gang in the world, and the rules are so strict." When the disciples in the gang saw the dog beating stick, they thought that I was angry and wanted to punish me severely! I heard that the punishment of the beggar gang was severe, and tens of thousands of people ordered it to be forbidden, and no one dared to disobey him, no wonder he was so frightened. I didn't want to go, and said busily: "Brother Qiu, don't get me wrong, I asked you to stay for a while, because I have something to explain, and I have no intention of reproach." ”

When Qiu Dalun heard him say this, he calmed down, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his sleeves to wipe away the cold sweat on his forehead, and there was still a faint palpitation on his face.

Elder Deng coughed, quite embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "Helper, my subordinates will retire first!" He gestured to the two disciples of the Baixi Gang and hurriedly retreated.

Qin Chuan knew that Elder Deng felt inconvenient and heard about the beggars, so when he left, he saw the panicked expressions of the three beggars, and pondered: "A person who has great power, gives orders, and every word and deed is often related to the life and death of others, and it is not allowed to be hasty. I will never act arbitrarily in the future, but I must think twice about everything. If there is a mistake, is it not a mistake?"

At that moment, he picked up the other two beggars and said to Qiu Dalun gently: "Master Qiu Helm, I will now temporarily hand over the dog beating stick to you for safekeeping, and use this stick to order the beggar disciples in the area of Shandong Zhili, and can act cheaply to deal with the murdered disciples." After you finish your work, go to Mount Tai to find me as soon as possible!"

In the event of a major incident in a gang, if the gang leader is unable to attend in person due to the matter, the person who is ordered to do the work is entrusted by the gang leader to punish the affairs with a dog stick, and there is no lack of precedent in the beggar gang. Qiu Dalun was surprised and delighted, knowing that Qin Chuan was too separated, it was not surprising that he had such a distribution. It's just that he didn't expect him to value himself so much, and he was so grateful in his heart, so he knelt down, respectfully took the dog beating stick with both hands, and said loudly: "My subordinates obey orders!"

After the beggars left, Elder Deng went inside to ask if he could try to summon more masters of the gang to come and protect them. Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "You don't have to work for my own safety. Besides, there are elders along the way, what's the risk?" Elder Deng only agreed, but he couldn't hide his worried look.

Everyone came to the inn lobby for breakfast. These days, Mu Qinglan has always been by his side, inseparable. There was no one to see this morning, Qin Chuan was slightly surprised, and got up to ask. Elder Deng also said, "I haven't seen Miss Mu in the morning!" Instructed Huang Bao to invite, Qin Chuan waved his hand and said, "I'll go and see, you guys eat first!"

Elder Deng and the other three immediately left the table and stood solemnly, how dare they move chopsticks?

Qin Chuan walked to Mu Qinglan's room, knocked on the door gently, and asked, "Sister Lan, are you awake?" only to hear Mu Qinglan's faint voice say: "Brother Chuan." Come in!" pushed the door, but the bolt was not removed.

Qin Chuan was startled, knowing that it was not good, he immediately spit out his palm, shook the wooden latch, and rushed forward quickly.

I saw Mu Qinglan lying on her back on the bed, her eyes were confused, her cheeks were flushed, and her breath was short. It is obvious that he is not lightly ill. Qin Chuan asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you?" Mu Qinglan said weakly: "I'm so dizzy that I can't move." "The voice was very weak.

Qin Chuan stretched out his hand to touch her face and probe her pulse, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened. I felt that her body was hot and weak, and she seemed to be suffering from a cold.

Elder Deng didn't dare to trespass outside the door, coughed, and asked softly, "Helper." How's Miss Mu?"

Qin Chuan hurriedly said: "Elder Deng, please come in, come and take a look, Miss Mu seems to be sick!"

Elder Deng probed Mu Qinglan's condition. After a little contemplation, he said: "Help the master and relax, I think it is because the eldest lady has been running around for days and has not rested enough, so that she is invaded by the wind and cold." Wait for your subordinates to prescribe some herbs to take it, and within three or two days, you can recover. Qin Chuan was overjoyed and said, "This is very good, there is Brother Lao Deng!"

Huang Bao bought the medicine according to the prescription. Qin Chuan borrowed a small copper stove from the shopkeeper, set it up in the corner of the patio, put it on the clay pot, and fanned the fire to decoction the medicine according to the method that Elder Deng said about the fire first and then the simmer. He has lived alone on the top of Mount Emei for many years, and he has always been used to chopping wood for cooking, laundry and sewing.

Elder Deng touched the short mustache in front of his mouth with his right hand, nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "It's really good for the helper to treat Miss Mu, and he boiled the medicine himself, which shows that the affection is profound!" Qin Chuan smiled, thought for a moment, and said: "Now there is no news of Elder Wu and Second Elder Wang, and there is no news from Miss Yu and Master Sangru, what does Brother Deng think should be next?"

Elder Deng hesitated: "It is said that the Jade Girl and the Sang Duo Master will definitely contact the people in the gang after they arrive in Tai'an, and the two eldest brothers of King Wu should also have a letter to send it, and the little guy from Lian Dong should also come to greet the gang leader." This matter is really strange, and his subordinates are also puzzled. ”

Qin Chuan had already felt that something was wrong, and secretly pondered: "Meiyue Master was too entrusted to pass on the message, saying that the door of this gang has changed, could it really be that there is a traitor? ”

Just as he was about to open his mouth to inquire, Elder Deng suddenly opened his nostrils, smelled the medicinal gas, and said with a smile: "The time for the simmer has come, the medicine is decoctioned, you can drink it while it is hot!"

Qin Chuan slowly poured the decoction into the blue and white porcelain bowl and said, "Elder Deng, let's rest in the town for a day today." Tomorrow, Miss Mu will be better, and then head to Tai'an City. Elder Deng bowed down and responded, "My subordinates obey orders!" turned around and walked two steps, stopped and turned back and said, "What else does the helper have to say?" Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "I have nothing to do." Everyone has been on the road for a few days, and they have worked hard, so they have a good rest for a day. You don't have to wait anymore!"

Elder Deng smiled and said, "The helper is really sympathetic to us, and it is a blessing for everyone!"

Qin Chuan tried the medicine first, then fed Mu Qinglan to drink, and put the bowl on the table. When I looked back, I saw tears on her snow-white and beautiful face, and immediately walked to the bed, gently hugged her shoulder with her left hand, stretched out her sleeve with her right hand to wipe away her tears, and smiled: "Sister Lan, why are you crying?"

Mu Qinglan sobbed: "Brother Chuan, I'm really useless, not only can't help you, but also delay your big business! I don't know how Lu Dao Yumei is?" Qin Chuan stretched out his sleeves to gently wipe her tears, and said softly: "Silly girl, who can guarantee that you won't get sick in life?" What's more, you are working hard with me for days, so you are infected with the cold, and I am sorry for you! Yumei has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and she has the talent to adapt, you don't have to worry!"

Mu Qinglan sobbed and said, "If you want you to decoct the medicine for me and feed me the medicine, I'm really useless!" Qin Chuan leaned over and bowed his head, kissed her face, and said softly: "Okay Sister Lan, don't say that, who is serving me and comforting me these days, if you want to say it's useless, I'm the most useless!" saw her burst into tears, crying very sadly, and couldn't help herself.

At that moment, he had an idea, and he repeated his skills, sighed, stretched out his hand and slapped his thigh, and said loudly: "I'm really useless, I can't even take care of a patient, and I am ashamed to be a good helper and a good husband!"

Then he clapped his hands and feet, frowned sadly, and sighed for a long time.

Mu Qinglan opened a pair of crystal clear eyes, and under the slanted reflection of the morning sun, it was like two crystals shining with a faint light, grabbed his wrist, and said with tears: "Brother Chuan, who said that you are useless, your ability to take care of people is very good!"

Qin Chuan saw that she had forgotten to cry, and secretly laughed in his heart, so he sat on the edge of the bed, helped her lie down, covered the quilt, and said with a smile: "With such praise from Sister Lan, my son must make persistent efforts to practice the skills of taking care of people!" Mu Qinglange burst into tears and laughed, and said: "Brother Chuan, you make me happy again, I just don't cry." But you have to promise me to take two more 'Snow Ginseng Jade Toad Pills'!"

Qin Chuan originally wanted to say that he had been able to stimulate the true qi of the dantian, and he didn't need to take such a precious elixir anymore. But knowing that this girl was stubborn and feeling her affection, Ya didn't want to disobey the beauty of this confidant, so she took out the porcelain bottle from the pillow and took the snow ginseng jade toad pill according to her words.

Mu Qinglang's face was full of spring flowers, smiled, and asked, "Is there any news of Yumei and Mulberry Helm?"

Qin Chuan couldn't bear to worry her, so he said: "There is indeed some good news, this place is not far from Tai'an County." I asked Elder Deng and the three of them to rest for a day, and in two days, we could all meet. You just have to relax and make sure that you don't delay you in winning two more good chess games against Yumei!" Mu Qinglan put her mind at ease and yawned, her face showing a coquettish expression.

Qin Chuan saw that the corners of her mouth were smiling, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but feel distressed. (To be continued......)
