Peach Blossom Dyeing Jinge

When Lu Zhengqiu saw An Qiming's hand, he was startled at first, and quickly squatted down beside him: "Brother An, you are seriously injured, do you need to worry?"

An Qiming's mouth was still bloodshot, but when he heard his words, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.

Lu Zhengqiu was puzzled and said, "Why, what's wrong?"

An Qiming coughed a few times before saying: "Master Zhengqiu, are you really going to save me?"

"Why not help?"

"Don't forget who escorted you here."

Lu Zhengqiu was taken aback, and replied: "Of course I haven't forgotten, but I still remember that the one who risked his life just now also threw the key to me."

An Qiming blinked and looked at him in surprise.

He had just escaped from the prison, his hair was disheveled, his cheeks were dusty, and his appearance was in a mess, but his expression was still clear and bright as usual.That dark and damp cage could imprison his body, but it couldn't leave any haze in his heart at all.

"Then I won't be polite." An Qiming replied, holding Lu Zhengqiu's arm, sat up tremblingly with the other's support, caressing his chest, and said in a broken voice, "No wonder Dongqing I am so devoted to you, today I finally understand something, I like you very much, no, I like both of you..."

Lu Zhengqiu chuckled: "After all, you and I are both losers who were bitten instead of being thieves. We really share the same disease."

An Qiming turned his head, looked at him in surprise, and asked, "How did you guess that?"

Lu Zhengqiu said: "There are not many people who hold the keys to the warehouse. Miss Ren has an upright personality, and she doesn't seem to be a liar. Therefore, I concluded from the beginning that the suspicion between you and Mr. Feng is deeper."

An Qiming nodded: "Indeed."

Lu Zhengqiu continued: "You risked your life to rescue me, but you were intercepted by Yue Baiyu, then the answer is already very clear. Although I can't deduce the details, at least I can tell who is the friend and who is the enemy."

An Qiming smiled at him, quickly lowered his eyes, and murmured, "What's the matter with Baiyu?"

Lu Zhengqiu also frowned and said: "I saw her stabbing your chest just now, and thought you were more dangerous..."

An Qiming nodded and said, "Yes, I also thought I was bound to die, but her knife changed direction at the last moment and didn't really stab my heart..."

He caressed the wound on his chest with lingering fear. If the blade deviates by an inch, there will be only a mass of perforated flesh left in his chest at this moment. He will definitely not be able to sit here and talk to people peacefully.

He looked at the blood-stained front, and frowned: "Just now, her expression was completely different from usual, her face was frighteningly gloomy, and the knife was full of murderous intent, it definitely didn't look like she was pretending."

Lu Zhengqiu nodded and said, "I can see it."

An Qiming sighed: "I really don't understand, since she wanted to kill me, why did she let me go?"

Lu Zhengqiu stayed silent with him for a while, and asked, "Dongqing told me that Baiyu only listens to Mr. Feng's words on weekdays."

An Qiming was surprised: "Yes, is it true that Master forced her? What exactly did Master do to her?"

Lu Zhengqiu shook his head and sighed: "I don't know either. I'm afraid the only way to question the secrets is in person."

"Oh, I really want to see Master right now... Cough..." An Qiming coughed again in a rough voice. He subconsciously covered his mouth with his hand, and the blood in his mouth splashed onto his palm, leaving behind A pool of bright red.

Although the blade missed the heart, the knife pierced through the breastbone and tore the flesh, leaving a shocking wound. If it was someone else, he might have fainted from the pain at this moment.

Lu Zhengqiu raised his head and glanced into the distance: "Let me help you to rest first."

An Qiming nodded: "A little further out of the Youmao, our village will be here."

As soon as he climbed onto Lu Zhengqiu's arm, he saw the opponent's thumb hanging in front of his hand at an unnatural angle, he couldn't help but gasped, "Why is your hand dislocated?"

Lu Zhengqiu said: "Just now in order to escape from the shackles, I had to break it first."

His tone was relaxed and flat, as if he was talking about commonplace things.

"It hurts to death just looking at it." An Qiming shrank his shoulders, then took the other's hand in his hands, "Come on, let me show you whether it's serious or not."

Before he finished speaking, his hands suddenly exerted force, and with a click, he pushed back Lu Zhengqiu's dislocated joints.

This is the most common method of bone setting, because bone setting is always accompanied by severe pain, which is unbearable. In order to divert the patient's attention, the doctor usually pretends to chat and do it suddenly, and usually the patient will suddenly scream in embarrassment. He had heard it so many times that he was used to it.

But Lu Zhengqiu was different from the previous patients, he was very quiet all the time, even though his whole body trembled violently at the moment of bone setting, he didn't yell out a sound.

"Thank you." He nodded briefly, took An Qiming's arm, and helped him walk towards the village.

An Qiming turned his head while walking, and found a bead of sweat on the forehead of the person next to him. It seemed that this person was not without pain, but he just hid all his feelings, like an unfathomable well, containing countless sufferings .

Like Ren Lan, he has been trapped in Lingquan Valley since childhood. Although he sneaked into Wutong Town to investigate recently, he has never stepped out of Yushan.He knew little about the outside world, and he had never seen such a determined person.

He couldn't help saying with emotion: "Master Zhengqiu, you really are a hero."

"I'm overwhelmed." Lu Zhengqiu replied flatly.

He walked silently for a while, and then said again: "Then do you feel... that life is very bitter and tiring, the world is always full of concealment, deceit and betrayal, and you can't see where the real relief is... If you are a hundred years ago Yu pierced my heart with a knife, maybe I will feel better now..."

Lu Zhengqiu was silent, just when An Qiming thought he would not answer, he let out a sigh and said: "But people are so humble, as long as they hold on to a straw, they can live with ease."

An Qiming was startled, then lowered his head and said, "I seem to know where my straw is now. If I die, that idiot Alan will dig deeper into the horns, so I can't die yet..." Speaking of this, He felt a bit shy in his heart, with a faint smile on his lips, he pretended to be relaxed and asked: "Does Master Zhengqiu have his own reasons?"

"At my age, of course there will be." Lu Zhengqiu simply replied, and then fell silent, with an indifferent expression as if refusing the other party's questioning.

He knew who his reason was, but he didn't have the courage to say it.

At his age, he has already understood that words are shackles, a burden, and a weight that he cannot bear.

So he preferred to keep silent.

When the two returned to the village, there was no one around, and the people of the Yushan tribe were attracted by the sound of the Changning bell and gathered at the altar.

An Qiming brought Lu Zhengqiu to the medical center, took out a pill from the box and handed it to him: "Dongqing told me that you once fought against the Demon Cult and fell ill with cold. The elixir, with the effect of dispelling cold and calming the mind, you take it first."

"Thank you." Lu Zhengqiu took it and put it in his mouth.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll poison you?" An Qiming stared at him and asked, seeing the suspicious look on his face, he said, "Just kidding, this medicine tastes very bitter. When giving it to my little ancestor, she always shouted Said that I fed her poison."

Lu Zhengqiu was surprised: "You also give Baiyu this?"

An Qiming nodded and said, "When Baiyu was young, her body was actually very weak. She often caught colds and had fevers, and almost died several times. Although she inherited the Yuanshen of the Yushan tribe, no one thought she was a seedling who practiced martial arts."

"But now her kung fu is quite good, why?"

"I don't know anything about martial arts. It must be taught by Master. This elixir was also ordered by Master to prepare for her, saying that it will benefit her body."

Lu Zhengqiu frowned slightly, and was about to ask more questions when he suddenly heard a loud bang.

The sound seemed to come from far away, but it was deafening. If you listen carefully, it is like the sound of a rock collapse.

The two looked out the window together, and saw a wisp of green smoke rising from the opposite side of the heavy mountain.

"Could it be a landslide?" Lu Zhengqiu asked in surprise.

"No," An Qiming shook his head, "That's the direction of the Ganyi River. The green smoke just now was sulfur smoke. Could it be that someone tried to destroy the hidden dam?"

"Dark dam?"

"The reason why Lingquan Valley can pass boats three days a month is all due to a hidden dam at the bottom of the river. When the water level is low every month, most of the water flow is blocked by the hidden dam, and the downstream water situation tends to be flattened, so that boats can go boating. Half of the peak of the hidden dam is exposed out of the water, which happens to be in that direction."

"If the dark dam is destroyed..."

"Even if you're a god, don't even think about punting on the river." An Qiming replied, standing up in a hurry, "I have to go and see."

As soon as he stood up, he felt weak under his feet, his body was tilted, his palms were propped on the table, he half knelt on the ground, and coughed violently a few times.

Lu Zhengqiu stood up and supported him: "You are so badly injured, you should stay here and rest, and I will chase after you."

"But you also..."

"I'm fine."

An Qiming was stunned for a moment, frowned and hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Then there is Master Lao Zhengqiu."

Lu Zhengqiu nodded: "You can rest here."

"No, I will go to the altar to inform the others, as well as Holly. I will definitely convey your whereabouts for him."
