Chapter 228: Mortal or Immortal?
Luo Tiancheng, literally, gives people a majestic feeling, but Luo Tiancheng is just an ordinary human city, and it is inconspicuous in the entire Central Plains.
Inconspicuous, with inconspicuous benefits, Luo Tiancheng is located in the northern frontier, most of the year is in the season of winter and snow, but also because there are no famous mountains within a radius of 10,000 miles, there are few monk sects, it is a rare quiet place, and it also allows mortals to avoid many disturbances and spend their days quietly in Luo Tiancheng.
The cold wind is howling, the snow is pouring down, and the entire Luo Tiancheng is covered with heavy snow, which makes people look covered in silver at a glance, giving people a sense of immaculateness.
Although the snow scene is beautiful, Luo Tiancheng is a bitter cold place, for mortals, it is already a great pleasure in life to be able to burn a pot of burning knives in front of their own stove, get half a catty of sauce beef, and drink a sip of spirits with three or two friends.
There were few pedestrians on the streets, and the snow on the ground was a foot high, and it took a little more effort to navigate the heavy snow.
Squeak squeak!
At the end of the street, a middle-aged strong man, with a simple face, wearing a heavy leather jacket, holding a child about seven or eight years old in his arms, struggled to move forward in the heavy snow.
The child held a string of candy figures in his hand, and his cheeks were red from the cold, but in his father's arms, he did not feel cold, and from time to time he laughed cheerfully, proving the child's innocence and yearning for beautiful things.
"Dad, look. ”
Suddenly, the child's smile was not there, and he let out an exclamation in his mouth, and suddenly pointed to an eaves in front of him, which also made the middle-aged man startled, and looked quickly at the place where the child was pointing.
A young man in white, leaning under the broken eaves, his clothes are extremely thin, the whole person seems to be completely frozen, his emaciated body, even more unconsciously, his lips are completely bloodless, and they are stained with a little ice slag, obviously it won't be long before the young man in white is allowed to be here, he will freeze to death in this snowy and cold sky.
"Hey, it's another poor scholar who is helpless, and I don't know how many people have frozen to death in this heavy snow. The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly.
"Dad, let's save this big brother. The child kept shaking his father's arm, and there was a trace of mist in his eyes, which also proved that the child was innocent by nature, and he could not see the young man in white frozen to death in the street by the heavy snow.
The middle-aged man frowned, and his voice was slightly hesitant: "Han'er, our family's surplus food is running out, I don't know how long it will take this heavy snow, if you bring this person home, I'm afraid of ......!"
The middle-aged man said that he wanted to speak and stopped, obviously he was just an ordinary father, it was not easy to support a family of three, if he brought this young man in white home, not to mention that the young man in white needed medical diagnosis and treatment, it would be an extra person's rations, which would make him feel a great burden.
"Daddy, didn't you tell Han'er that saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, now that we have seen it, how can we let this big brother freeze to death in this ice and snow?"
Hearing the fairy tale of the child, the middle-aged man's brows tightened, and after a few breaths, he stretched his brows and grinned: "Han'er is right, since I have seen it, how can you and my father and son see that they are not saved." ”
Between the father and son talking, they had already walked quickly in front of the young man in white, and the child landed in his father's arms and came to the young man in two or three steps.
"Big brother, you must not sleep, Daddy said, in the extreme cold, if you fall asleep, you will never wake up. The child kept shaking the young man's arm, and his childish voice was slightly anxious.
It's a pity that the body of the young man in white has been frozen, and the whole person has fallen into a coma, and he has no reaction to the child's words.
"Little brother, this is my homemade liquor, you take a sip to warm up your body first, and I will take you home for treatment. ”
The middle-aged man took out the sheepskin wine bag from his waist, uncorked the bottle and poured a large amount of liquor into the young man's mouth, which also made the young man in white cough violently, but his pale and bloodless face regained a little ruddy at this moment.
Directly carrying the young man behind him, the middle-aged man took the child into his arms again, and quickly disappeared into the windy and snowy streets against the cold wind and snow.
Crunch.
The slightly mottled wooden door was pushed open, and the cold wind rushed in, and the middle-aged man quickly entered the house with the young man on his back, and then quickly plugged in the door, only then did he feel a little warm.
"Mother, we're back. ”
As the child's voice sounded, a woman who looked like a young woman walked out of the wing room quickly, she was wearing a linen robe, and her face was not stained with a little powder, although she was not a beauty, but she was also a small jasper-like appearance.
"Brother Shan, he... Who is he?" When she saw the young man on her husband's back, the young woman was shocked.
"Mother, this big brother almost froze to death outside, it was me and my father who rescued him home, if you want to blame, blame Han'er. Knowing his own situation, the child was afraid that his mother would be dissatisfied, so he hurriedly apologized to his mother first.
"Silly Han'er, it's a good thing to save people, how can my mother blame you. ”
The young woman smiled and stroked the child's hair, but her smile was a little reluctant, not that she didn't want to help the young man in white, but the family was already very poor, and it was a little difficult to say whether she could survive this cold winter with an extra mouth.
"Cher, I'm sorry, this little brother ....... ”
The middle-aged man's voice was slightly cramped, but before he could finish the words in his mouth, the young woman walked quickly to him and whispered: "Saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, how can Xue'er blame you, I will go and invite Wang Langzhong." ”
With this, the young woman put on her heavy leather jacket, opened the door, and went out of the house.
......
In the wing, the firewood in the stove is burning, giving people the ultimate feeling of warmth.
The young man in white was lying on the bed, a sixty-year-old man with gray hair and gray hair was sitting on the edge of the bed to check the pulse of the young man, and the family of three stood sideways, looking at the old man with a little nervousness, wondering if the young man was still saved.
"The pulse is messy, and the cold has entered the body, the old man first prescribes a prescription, you go to the pharmacy next to you to get the medicine according to this recipe, fry three bowls of water into a bowl, and give him a dose every morning and evening, after seven consecutive days, he can wake up, and he will pick up a life. Wang Langzhong wrote down a prescription, handed it to the middle-aged man, and got up to leave.
