Chapter 62: At the end of the night, explore the strange disease
The weather is lonely and cold, and the wind is clear.
The stars and the moon are covered by a layer of mist, hiding the line, which makes it difficult to see.
The hut was still brightly lit, and he had been a hunter and had fought many wild beasts, all of which were fierce.
She is very dependent on her father and mother, and she is also very afraid of the dark, and when her father and mother are not around, she does not dare to blow out the candle. It's just that the wick in the room has long been left with only a short section, and it can't burn for too long.
She looked uneasy.
From childhood, she turned her head to look at Leng Xiao, as if she wanted to speak, but she seemed to be an extrovert, but in fact she was a person who was not good at talking, and when she saw Leng Xiao's indifferent face, she didn't know how to speak.
Leng Xiao has been closing her eyes from the beginning, but she can't be indifferent, maybe for her, being in such a Jedi, and having such a strange person as Leng Xiao by her side, is originally a factor of instability.
But she remembered what Leng Xiao had said before, she was originally going to die, dying in the belly of a hungry tiger, and now that she has survived, every moment in the future will be in vain.
Thinking about it like this, I settled down a little more in my heart.
When people are meditating, time always flies exceptionally. Cong'er was still thinking nonsense—this was undoubtedly an excellent way to hold on to time—but Leng Xiao suddenly spoke.
He said, "You should go." ”
Cong'er couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and only after a while came back to his senses, he suddenly said: "But it's so dark outside, you can't see the road clearly, and there are wild beasts...... You won't send me. ”
She muttered like this, and was actually very reluctant to spend the night in this wooden house, and wanted to send her down the mountain coldly.
For Leng Xiao, this is undoubtedly a simple matter, nothing more than an extra hour, but Leng Xiao does not like to waste meaningless time the most.
Sometimes he would pace aimlessly all day, and sometimes he wouldn't even take a step. If he wants to go, it makes sense, if he doesn't want to go, it doesn't make sense. And he never likes to do things that don't make sense.
Leng Xiao said: "Someone has come to pick you up, they must have torches in their hands, you don't have to be afraid of the dark, there are many of them, you don't have to be afraid of any blind beast attacking you." ”
There was a hint of joy in her eyes, she didn't ask Leng Xiao where she knew about it, she just believed it in a moment, maybe she believed it from the bottom of her heart, and the unpredictable prophet was also a simple matter for people like Leng Xiao.
After Leng Xiao told Cong'er, Cong'er couldn't bear to wait for a moment. She stood in the doorway with the door ajar open, and after a while, she heard the sound of footsteps.
After all, the wooden houses on the cliff side of the mountain are brightly lit, and they must be very eye-catching in the eyes of those who go up the mountain, and it is impossible not to come and see them.
Leng Xiao suddenly called: "Cong'er." ”
Cong'er was jumping for joy, when he heard the call, he poked his head in from the door, and asked, "What's the matter?" Do you want to go to my house for a night, and you saved me, which is also a matter of course. ”
Leng Xiao shook his head and pointed at the bear: "Take this bear away, I don't need it." ”
Not long after, the crowd arrived at the Broken Bowel Cliff. Cong'er's father shed tears when he saw Cong'er, and a hanging heart finally let go.
After he listened to Er's 1510 talk about what was going on, he was grateful to Leng Xiao and was about to kneel. After being stopped by Leng Xiao, he tried his best to invite Leng Xiao to rest in the family, and others also agreed.
Most of these mountain village hunters are rough and straightforward, and they all want to invite Leng Xiao home to drink two pots of wine, but Leng Xiao refuses.
He refused not tactfully, but very bluntly, which made these men have pity on their faces.
Dealing with such people couldn't be more relaxed, their joys and anger are all on their faces, they are very open-minded, even if they don't like Leng Xiao's coldness, they don't really dislike it, and many people on the rivers and lakes, even if they are extremely disgusted in their hearts, for various reasons, still have a smiling face.
This is both a sorrow and a sinister.
Cong'er's father stood in front of Leng Xiao and rubbed his hands, and said with some embarrassment: "How is this called me, you saved Cong'er, I didn't thank you properly, and I want to take you back with a bear, what does this look like!"
On the one hand, he said, and on the other hand, he was very honest enough to drag the brown bear back with a few brothers.
Leng Xiao looked at it and couldn't help but laugh in his heart. When the hunters were leaving, they tried their best to invite him to go with them, but he still refused, and the hunters could only leave in a huff, and could not forcibly take people away.
After everyone was gone, the wick's life came to an end, and the small space suddenly turned into darkness.
Looking back, the lights on the top of the mountain were no longer there, and she couldn't tell whether the wick burned out or Leng Xiao took the initiative to turn off the lights, but even if Leng Xiao didn't take the initiative to extinguish, the wick couldn't last long.
She couldn't imagine how she could spend a lonely night in the darkness like this.
Leng Xiao leaned against the corner, he didn't go to bed. The bed was a little worn, it looked like it couldn't hold two people, and it had accumulated a thick layer of dust.
He didn't want to change or disturb anything, he just stayed overnight, even if Mr. Qi didn't come back, or if he had abandoned the house, he would still be the owner.
He's just an uninvited, rude guest.
Such a night has long been a common thing for Leng Xiao.
In the early morning of the next day, he washed his face by the mountain stream, moistened his face for Shi Lingxi, ate a few mouthfuls of dry food, and went down the mountain.
He left a piece of paper in the hut explaining his intentions, informing Mr. Chi of his whereabouts and his remuneration.
If he can save Shi Lingxi, he is willing to present all five treasure maps, and if he is not cured, he is also willing to give two treasure maps.
It is true that Mr. Qi is a strange person, but as long as he is a human being, he is always not exempt from vulgarity. Moreover, curing diseases and saving people is a profession for Mr. Qi, and such a result is not bad.
After descending the mountain, Leng Xiao went to the village according to his words. There is a small village right down the hill, but it's not hard to find. There are only thirty or forty families in the village, and most of them are hunters.
The people in the mountains got up early, and when Leng Xiao entered the village, there were already people walking around, and they immediately recognized him, and after he inquired, they took him to Cong'er's house.
Cong'er was holding a dry towel to clean his face, and when he saw Leng Xiao, he suddenly remembered his words last night. She knew that Leng Xiao didn't like nonsense and was straightforward in everything she did.
She immediately put down her towel and said, "My mother is in the room, I'll take you there." ”
The villagers who had just led the way had already left, and Leng Xiao followed his followers into the house. The father was not in the house, so he didn't know where he had gone in the morning.
In the back room, the mother has woken up, and for a patient like her, every minute is extremely difficult, and she can't even sleep for long.
Now, Cong'er's mother's face is very haggard, and she looks like an old woman.
Leng Xiao was also a little shocked in his heart: "It's such a terrible disease, don't say that Lang Zhong in your village can't cure this disease, even if you invite a famous doctor in the world to treat it, except for the family of Yunding Pool, few people can cure it." ”
