laughing soul

"Cough cough..."

Huan Tian was awakened by the heat.Near the dawn, I had a nightmare in which nine suns were born in the sky. In the dream, I gritted my teeth patiently and endured the roasting for a long time. I tossed and turned like this for several hours, and for the rest of the night, I kept lying on the bed in a sleepless state. It was easy to wait until dawn, and a cock crow finally woke him up completely.

Huan Tian moved his shoulders, only to feel that his whole body was sticky and wet with sweat, and when he opened his eyes again, he realized that he was hugging a stove emitting extremely high temperature in his hands!

His dazed mind came to his senses for a moment, and his sanity came back instantly. He turned one side of Donkey's hot body, and saw that his eyes were tightly closed and the corners of his lips were trembling. .

Huan Tian's hands trembled violently, and he could barely support Donkey, his heart was cold, and there were only two words left in his mind: "plague".

There are no more than 300 people in Kunlun Mountains, and now less than half of them are trapped in the plague.For thousands of years, Cui Wei only made a living by quenching poison and killing people. Facing all kinds of herbs all over the mountains and plains, he could only wait to die in pain in a daze.

When people are in poverty, they can only rely on their parents.Huan Tian wrapped the donkey in a quilt in a random way, and ran out in a hurry with only boxers hanging all over his body: "Father! Mother! Donkey also..."

Next to the bedroom is the kitchen. A middle-aged couple is busy making a fire to cook porridge. When their son speaks, before they have time to reprimand him for his inappropriate clothes, they both change their expressions: "Little Tian, ​​what's wrong, Donkey?"

As soon as he went out, he knew that the severe cold in Gaoling could not be borne by a fat body, Huan Tian shivered his legs, and squeezed out a sentence from the two rows of white teeth that were constantly fighting: "Hot...he's scalded to death! "

With a bang, they couldn't take care of the pots and pans. They rushed into the bedroom in three steps and two steps, and saw the naked donkey on the bed.The quilt had been ripped off the bed several times by him, and his own temperature alone could burn the human brain unconscious, and the quilt was purely adding fuel to the fire.

The woman didn't have time to wipe off the sticky grease on her hands, so she stepped forward and hugged the donkey, cooling him down with the palm of her hand.Seeing the gray and lifeless look on the child's face, he couldn't help but burst into tears: "I... my poor child! Why are you the one to suffer this!"

As soon as the door was opened, the bitter cold wind swept in. A donkey's closed eyes suddenly opened a gap, and he shivered all over: "It's cold... so cold..." The north wind blew past his head, and the skin on his face quickly turned from flushing It has faded to a frozen purple, but the calf and ankle are still reddish with heat. At first glance, this scene is very frightening, as if a large living person has been cut in half.

The man followed behind, picked up the quilt and shook it a few times, then covered it on Donkey, sat on the edge of the bed and gently held the woman's hand: "Ah Yue, Cui Wei will come to inquire in half an hour, first let Donkey go Go to Yunshuijian, otherwise Xiaotian will also get infected, and this matter will be troublesome. Let's go to the top of the mountain and find the pavilion master."

"Yunshuijian...there are all terminally ill and dying people...wouldn't sending them there just accept their fate and wait for death?" The woman asked in a low voice, wiping away her tears, covering the heat with one hand, and hurriedly put the other hand on it.She comforted herself quietly in her heart, her body temperature didn't seem to be so high anymore, maybe before Cui Wei came, the fever could be subsided.

The man looked down at Donkey who fell into a coma again, sighed, opened the door and left, planning to go back to the kitchen to make porridge.But he didn't know what he saw, he pushed open the door and took half a step, but he stopped and slowly retracted his feet.

He moved a bit slower, the woman tried her best to block in front of the donkey under the biting cold wind behind her, and finally couldn't help turning around and scolding angrily when her spine was so cold, she didn't say a word of cursing, first she saw the panic and astonishment on the man's face .

"Cui Wei...they are already here..."

Her anger seemed to be burning on a hundred feet of ice, making her whole body numb from the cold.

"Pavilion master... Where is the pavilion master...let him...beg him to save Donkey..."

On the other side, the owner of the pavilion, whom people are thinking about, has already ridden thousands of miles on the snow. In one night, the horse carried two people on the Kunlun Snow Road, and ran to the northwest border in one breath, before finally being able to slow down. Gasp.

Chu Yu deliberately changed into less eye-catching clothes, and the accompanying package only contained some broken silver.Gu Wei is well aware of this man's ability to live a peaceful and carefree life without getting involved. The gold, silver and treasures in the underground palace are piled up like a mountain, and this friend whose friendship between gentlemen is as light as water is just very frankly giving him some leftovers. With a cold face, he said: "Master, it is late autumn, and the corpse can last up to two days. You should find a medical center and ask him to do an autopsy as soon as possible. Once the corpse rots, the smell is unbearable, festering and vermin, you must not be able to bear it." of."

The pavilion master couldn't help but rolled his beautiful and refined eyes at him.It is obvious that he is the boss of Cuiwei Pavilion, but this person always treats him as his son and educates him, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

In the next three years, he can't have a "long talk", so last night Gu Wei gave him a long speech before leaving.Not to mention a bunch of nonsense, and almost missed the time.He rambled and complained that the body was not safe and clean, and finally took a sack and threw it to him.

With a human face and a beast's heart, it can be said that this person has the broken mouth of a Tang monk, the appearance of a pig, and the vicious heart of a femme fatale. He is simply a priceless treasure.

Chu Yu raised his neck and poured a sip of wine into his mouth, and pondered for a while, before he was willing to swallow it down and take a second sip.

He brought the wine from the post station in Qingzhou on the way. People in the Northwest have a strong temper, and the wine is also brewed spicy. Drinking it in one sip is no different from drinking a knife.However, I'm afraid everyone is like this. There are some things that you don't want that much at all. Once someone stops you, it's like putting a dazzling gold rim on a dirty rag. Seeing your hands itchy and greedy, you have to pick it up yourself. Play.Most of the time, it's just dirty dust with one hand, and when I think about it later, I realize that what others said is correct.

For example, Chu Yu is very depressed now. Gu Wei has disciplined him for more than ten years, and he has never let him drink a drop of wine. He thought it was something intoxicating and refreshing, but it turned out to be numb and spicy. It is a pity that his pitifully small money .

Perhaps even he himself did not expect that after a few years, he would be so addicted to this thing.

I was reluctant to throw away the ones I bought with my own money, so I had to drink slowly, shaking my head and swallowing the knife, and at the same time had to use one free hand to support the crumbling corpse behind me.This person just swallowed his breath last night. He was wrapped in a sack, and his body was not completely cold. Chu Yu felt like he was bringing a sleeping child down the mountain to play. evaporates from the pores.Taking advantage of his drunkenness, he smiled slightly.

Three years... Others may not be able to figure it out after studying medical skills for a lifetime. Is three years enough?

and…

Chu Yu glanced at the back of his hand, looking through the white and delicate skin and warm flesh and blood, peering at the dark blood hidden under the skin, recalling the weird and shocking scene in his dream a few days ago.

Can I survive for three years?

"Look, brother! That big brother is so handsome!"

The crisp and immature child's voice, with the innocence of a little girl.Chu Yu raised his head slightly, and gave a harmless smile to the brother and sister who were also riding on horseback in front of him.

The little girl was only eleven or twelve years old, and she wore two small shofar braids. Seeing this "really handsome" brother smiled at herself as if hearing her speak, she couldn't help but blushed, and hid behind her brother.

The elder brother was born with thick eyebrows, big eyes, tall and straight, with a bookish face of an upright gentleman, raised his hand and made a bow to Chu Yu: "This brother came from Qingzhou? Further on is the junction of Yundan and Danzhou. It's complicated, and it's easy to get lost. Where is Xiongtai going?"

Chu Yu silently pulled off the silly piece of blue cloth tied to the wine gourd, and said, "That's right. Chu wants to reach the capital on this trip, could you please give me some pointers?"

"Kyoto?" The young man was a little surprised, "Yunzhou is very far away from Kyoto...Brother Chu went south from Huashan at the junction of Yundan, entered the north gate of Huadu, exited from the east gate, re-entered the west gate of Tiancheng, and walked from the south city. When you leave the door, you will be in the capital. Why did Brother Chu enter the capital? The capital is in chaos right now."

Chu Yu wanted to laugh when he heard the first half of his sentence, and really wanted to tell the child that he had only spent half a day from Kunlun Mountain to Yunzhou, but finally held back: "Seek medical advice. Why is Kyoto in chaos? Could you please tell me something?" ?”

"Oh, brother Chu didn't know. Before his death, the former emperor left a secret edict, abolished the former crown prince, and replaced the fourth prince as the crown prince. It's okay if it's an ordinary court matter, but nowadays the court is troubled by internal and external troubles, and treacherous officials are in power as eunuchs. There are barbarians in the south and Li Rong in the north, and there are constant border wars. Recently, the barbarians and the barbarians are attacking, and the north and the south are tense. In such a situation, who would be willing to be the emperor to clean up this mess? The original prince is kind and kind. He is a scholar. He doesn't show his sharpness. The first emperor thought that he must be restrained and elegant, but after several rounds of probing, he was mistaken." He paused, as if he was not a scholar who only knew how to talk on paper, "I can't do it myself. I couldn't make it in time, so I had no choice but to take the risk and temporarily change the fourth prince. But these four princes are disorganized, and they were just coaxed into the throne a few days ago, and now they don't go to court, don't care about business, don't approve memorials, and are making trouble in the palace."

Chu Yu imagined the scene for a moment, the awe-inspiring and luxurious court hall was reduced to a venue for children to vent their anger, and couldn't help but sighed sympathetically.

"Oh, no, that little emperor has been going crazy lately, yelling to kill people, and urging me to go to Kunlun Mountain to ask Cui Wei Pavilion Master to borrow some poison. I was scared away all the way along the way. God knows how he knew Cui Wei. Court!"

"Oh? What a coincidence," the pavilion master said nonchalantly without blushing, "I heard that the old man has closed his pavilion for the past two days and has not seen outsiders."

"It's okay, I didn't really intend to go to Kunlun Mountain to get poison. Then Long Live Lord changed his mind at some point. It was all half a month ago. Maybe he doesn't even remember who he wants to kill. "

Chu Yu nodded in satisfaction. He was able to fool a fool the first time he went down the mountain, which gave him a sense of accomplishment.

The brother who was labeled as a "big fool" by the pavilion master didn't notice it. He immersed himself in his miserable and lonely errand for a while, and seemed to remember that Chu Yu also had serious business: "Chu Brother, you are going to the capital to seek medical treatment? Do you have any intractable diseases?"

"Exactly."

"Then you can't go to the capital," the little girl's soft voice came from behind the young man, she was still shy and timid and did not dare to show her face, "Except for the imperial doctor, there is no good doctor in the capital!"

"Xiaowei is right. Brother Chu," the young man said seriously, "the late emperor was ill, and all the good doctors in the capital were taken captive to the palace. If you seek medical treatment, you might as well go to Huadu to have a look. The famous doctors I know are Mr. Xu, Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhao. Among them, Mr. Xu is the most kind and humble. It is very suitable to go to Huadu Station to find him. It just so happens that Xiaowei and I are going back home. How about going together?"

Chu Yu was taken aback, not only lamented by the young man's spirit of helping the world, "one thing less is worse than one thing more", but also amazed that a frail scholar has the courage to treat the imperial decree as dung. What kind of ghost virtue is it?

"Your Majesty, how long does it take to arrive in Huadu?"

The boy rolled his eyes and thought for a moment: "Ten days at the fastest."

Chu Yu: "..."

In ten days, the elder brother behind him should have been rotten.

He stretched out his hand and bowed to the young man: "Chu is short on time for this trip, so I have to travel thousands of miles every day. I don't dare to bother you to suffer the same boat and car with Chu. When Chu arrives in Huadu, I will find it by myself... May I ask you what to call it?" ?”

The young man hurriedly bowed back: "I'm next to Liushi, my sister Liu Wei."

The pampas grass is as tough as silk, and the rock has no transfer.

God knows what kind of parents would name such a pair of brothers and sisters, the Central Plains people's mind is really hard to understand.

Seeing the girl peeking at her brother through the hem of his clothes, Chu Yu raced against time to show her a smile with eight white teeth, and praised against his will: "Good name...Brother Liu, Sister Liu, Jiang Hu is far away, Please take care. Chu is one step ahead, and there will be a period later."

Seeing this, Liu Shi couldn't keep him anymore, and was about to say goodbye when Liu Wei's little hand gently tugged the corner of his sleeve. He looked back at his sister's big black pearl-like eyes, and his heart suddenly softened: "Chu Brother, how about this, if you are in a hurry, go to Huadu to seek a doctor first, and we will meet up when my sister and I arrive in Huadu in two days. If Brother Chu fails to find a good doctor, I can help you a little. "

Chu Yu: "..." Who said that it's okay to meet the two of you?

After staying on the mountain for 20 years, the pavilion master, who has never seen anyone else except Gu Wei and Xiao Shantong, experienced for the first time the evil consequences of leaving peach blossoms indiscriminately, and his heart began to ache.

"Brother Liu, won't you go to Kunlun Mountain? It's better to fulfill the order of the Holy Majesty with due diligence."

"Brother Chu," Liu Shi gave him a strange look, "Didn't you just remind me that the Cuiwei Pavilion is mainly closed? Anyway, you won't be able to see it when you go, so it's better to save some effort."

Chu Yu: "..."

That's probably what the book says about "lifting a rock to shoot yourself in the foot".But Chu Yu felt that he didn't hurt his foot this time, but "lifted a rock and smashed his brain", otherwise how could he not be able to deal with a little boy whom he had just dubbed "big fool".

"Okay, okay," he really wanted to sprinkle a handful of the medicine powder in his sleeve to stun the two followers. After holding back for a long time, he finally nodded in agreement, "We will meet when we meet. See you at the Huadu Posthouse in ten days' time." He raised his head. Just in time to meet Liu Wei's innocent and clean gaze, the Pavilion Master simply felt overwhelmed, thinking that since the teasing has been done, then the good thing will be done to the end.Never give up halfway, that idiot Gu Wei taught him.

"Sister Liu," Chu Yu tried his best to recall how he smiled at Kunlun Lake more than ten years ago, unlike the previous occasions when he smiled casually.The corners of her lips were slightly curved, and the thick long eyelashes covering her peach blossom eyes fluttered slightly, revealing a slight smile, which looked a bit seductive but not frivolous, and even her voice was deliberately lowered, "See you in ten days, Be there or leave."

Liu Wei stared at him blankly, feeling that the man's eyelashes like small curtains seemed to grow in his heart, and when he moved slightly, he felt a strong palpitation.

"Big brother..." His smile seemed to deepen a bit, but Liu Wei felt that his eyes were gray and hazy, and he couldn't see the man's smile clearly.I stretched out my hand to grab it a few times, but there was no clear light in front of my eyes, and the person had already fallen on the horse's back.

Chu Yu pinched the corners of his sleeves and looked at the unconscious brother and sister in front of him, feeling that this handful of drugs was very useless.

As soon as he made the promise, he thought that Xue Qianli under him was nothing ordinary like himself, and sometimes he couldn't even bear it when he ran wildly.Out of the kindness of worrying that these two Liu brothers and sisters, who had never seen much of the world, would be scared to death, they simply sent them to sleep peacefully overnight.

Why not take the medication before agreeing to meet the contract?

Chu Yu rubbed his forehead, thinking that he must have been hit on the head by an unnecessary "stone".

"Alas..." After admiring the "picture of beauties on the horse" for a moment, Chu Yu got off the horse, covered the two of them with the little flowered quilt that Gu Wei had forced on him, and carefully tucked the corners of the quilt.He looked back for a second time before getting on his horse and leaving again.

Fortunately, there was no rain or wind to trip him up, otherwise he would have to drag these two great gods all over the world to find a station.

Thinking about it this way, the current situation can be regarded as optimistic.Chu Yu conveniently hung the jug on the opponent's horse, briefly ignoring the fact that the opponent was still a teenager, patted his ass and left.

Xue Qianli understands human nature, and she has already galloped away without Chu Yu's order.

The wind and sand rolled up here in the "Picture of Beauty on Immediately" has not yet calmed down, and there is no trace of Chu Yu in the desert corridor that is as flat as a river.
