Chang Xiaoqing won't wake up again——

The same words have been repeated many times by Jia Ruo in the past period of time.

After changing into what he is now, the mysterious and somewhat weird Lingkong Temple monk seems to have become extraordinarily childish in some places.Since he was extremely displeased with Chang Xiaoqing, he frankly expressed his hope in front of Lin Mao without reservation.

Lin Mao knew that in Jia Ruo's eyes, that ugly and useless Chang Xiaoqing would just sleep like this forever, and it would be best if he could use his body.

But every time Lin Mao heard this sentence, he couldn't control his emotions like the first time he heard it.

"To shut up!"

Lin Mao subconsciously grabbed the scabbard of the short sword and threw it in the direction of Jia Ruo.

Jia Ruo didn't dodge or dodge, and opened a pair of strange-colored eyes wide, letting the heavy scabbard hit his forehead straight.After a very slight muffled sound, the scabbard left a shocking gash on the bloodless skin.

Lin Mao and Jia Ruo are connected in mind, even though the latter still looks expressionless and seems to have no basic sense of pain, Lin Mao knows that there are vines all over his body, but it is the head that is condensed into a human shape that can be regarded as the weak point. It hurts.

A few light green vines leaned over, timidly rolled up the scabbard, and carefully put it back in Lin Mao's hand.

This time it was Lin Mao's turn to be dazed.

"you--"

Why don't you hide.

His scolding only said the first word before he swallowed it again, because even Lin Mao himself had noticed that there seemed to be too much intimacy in that sentence.

Lin Mao had to admit that Jia Ruo did have some kind of wonderful trait, so that he was already on guard, but he still felt close to him during such a short time together.

"It's okay, I know you just don't like hearing me say that."

Jia Ruo lowered his eyes slowly and said softly.

"Since you know I don't like it, why do you keep saying things that disturb my mind?"

Lin Mao pulled back the scabbard, put the dagger into the scabbard, and gritted his teeth and said bitterly.

Jia Ruo pondered for a moment inexplicably this time, and did not immediately answer Lin Mao's question.In fact, Lin Mao didn't think that Jia Ruo would be able to answer him at first, but seeing Jia Ruo's sudden silence, a kind of inexplicable strange uneasiness jumped in Lin Mao's heart.

That's right, why do you always say categorically in front of him that Chang Xiaoqing won't wake up?

Lin Mao always thought it was because Jia Ruo didn't like Chang Xiaoqing, but if Jia Ruo really knew some other reasons...

Lin Mao looked at the low bed following Jia Ruo's gaze, Chang Xiaoqing was still lying on his back unconsciously, his gray and white long hair dyed like frost flowers was scattered on the simple and rough homemade mattress in the country, his whole body was obviously rosy and calm, But for no reason there was a faint sense of desolation.

"Because he was originally just a tool for..."

Suddenly, Jia Ruo spoke.

And the moment he opened his mouth, it was as if someone had stabbed Lin Mao's softest heart with an invisible needle. Lin Mao couldn't help but tremble slightly, almost jumping up.

For some unknown reason, for a moment, Lin Mao instinctively refused to listen.

Probably the sky also heard Lin Mao's heartfelt voice, Jia Ruo hadn't had time to finish the second half of the sentence when a sudden human voice outside the courtyard interrupted his words.

"...Old man, do you dare to ask if there is any free space here for rent... Alas, I am a wandering doctor. He has been collecting medicines and went to the mountains for a long time. I didn't expect to miss the time to enter the city. I've seen a ghost, the city gate is very tightly searched, even if you line up for two or three hours, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the city, it's too late for me..."

"That's right, that's right, it's not a coincidence, if it's summer, it would be enough to build a shed in the woods for one night, but it's freezing cold now, if there is no shelter from the wind and rain The place where I am, old man, I am afraid that I will confess to the past..."

"Oh, I've asked all the other people. Isn't it true that everyone is the same as me... But I really can't help it. I'll just stay with you for one night and leave tomorrow, just leave! If there is no yard, no A house, and a piece of land in the kitchen is also fine.”

It was an old voice with a lot of energy, even a bit sharp.When he spoke, his posture was low, but he was full of vigor. Lin Mao could hear almost every sentence clearly across a courtyard and a wall.

On the contrary, the white old man has been disturbed these days and can't eat or sleep well, and the conversation has become much more blurred.

Lin Mao couldn't help frowning in the room. He could clearly hear that the gate of Liucheng started to strictly check the population entering the city today without warning, so many people were caught off guard and couldn't enter the city in time.The old white man's yard is deserted and remote, and it is neither safe nor warm if he is not close to the village. If that person is not like Lin Mao, who has unspeakable secrets and must live far away from others, then there is only one reason for him to come here at this time. Other families in the village are already full.

From this point alone, one can already guess that Liucheng is probably under martial law in the whole city now.

As for why he suddenly started checking the city gates and checking the people coming and going... Others may be confused, but Lin Mao is the one who knows it well.

Someone had already followed his trail.

"Gara."

Lin Mao looked solemn, and his delicate face was slightly stained with a gloomy expression.

He faintly called Jia Ruo's name.

"I'll eat right away...get rid of those people."

Jia Ruo replied.

As early as the moment the sound outside the courtyard sounded, he had already stretched out the slender vines and slowly hooked his head to climb up the beam. The wriggling vines were all hidden in the dark place above the beam, but in the From the inconspicuous corner of the eaves outside the courtyard, twigs and dead grass slowly protruded, as if all vitality had been blown away by the winter wind.

"No need," Lin Mao stopped Jia Ruo, and said sadly, "This matter should have nothing to do with you, I'm too pushy, these days I frequently invite doctors from the city, even if I try my best to cover it up, I'm afraid it will attract people's attention Something is wrong in Liucheng."

No matter how much Lin Mao disliked Jiaruo, he had nothing to say about his abilities.

Since Jia Ruo said that he had dealt with the little bugs that followed him, he was naturally alive, leaving no trace behind.But Lin Mao himself couldn't bear to kill those ignorant doctors after inviting those doctors for Chang Xiaoqing because of his conscience.If the traces were to be leaked, it would be Lin Mao who leaked them.

"At this point, I can only find a way to leave as soon as possible... Jia Ruo, the people outside the courtyard are those who came to the door."

Lin Mao rubbed his temples, got up while speaking, and began to pack the three people's few luggage.

"It's an old man." Jia Ruo replied. "It doesn't have the smell of those people, but it's not like ordinary people. You wait for me, and I'll kill him later..."

"I would like to ask the old man to do you a favor. Move the location, and it will be fine in one night. I know that you live here. If you let me talk to that person, maybe he will be happy."

Jia Ruo's words overlapped with the visitor's reply.

Lin Mao frowned more and more tightly, was it his illusion?In a trance, he felt that this person's voice seemed somewhat familiar.

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look."

He said.

Since Jia Ruo said that the man was not an ordinary person, he might be a quack, and Lin Mao felt that the man's voice was familiar... Maybe he was a quack that Lin Mao knew.Lin Mao knew in his heart that the safest way would be to kill people indiscriminately when he found out that the other party was a person from the Jianghu. However, Liucheng is close to the capital, and it is the most normal thing for people to come and go to have a Jianghu background. Lin Mao And I was really afraid that I would kill the wrong person, so I wouldn't be able to do it.

Thinking about the days before Senior Brother Chang's death, he often looked at Lin Mao, worrying and restless, probably because he knew his temperament... I don't know when, because of this indecisive personality, his life will be killed.

While thinking about what happened back then, Lin Mao leaned towards the side door of the small courtyard.

It's strange to say, I'm afraid that the talk of Konghua and Konghua has aroused his mind, but these days Lin Mao often can't help but think of the old things many years ago.

There is a lot of disturbance, which is very disturbing.

Lin Mao took his steps lightly, and the cloth shoes stepped on the frosted bluestone slab, leaving only a very shallow mark.The door of the side door has long been opened by Jia Ruo silently, and when Lin Mao arrives, he can see the person at the door of the courtyard as soon as he raises his eyes.

Just like what Jia Ruo said, it was indeed an old man, an old man who came from the rivers and lakes with martial arts.

He was thinner than when Lin Mao saw him before, his gray hair and beard were covered with dust, and he looked more and more desolate, but the old wooden medical box that he carried with him was still the same, dilapidated Still very elegant.

"It turned out to be him..."

When Lin Mao saw him, he was not surprised but happy, and the corners of his eyes and brows relaxed a lot.

It's no wonder that Lin Mao felt that the old man's voice sounded familiar, after all, the dead old man can be regarded as one of his acquaintances - Yungu crazy doctor Xing Xinglin.

I don't know how many times this crazy little old man has offended him to be in such a mess these days. The bitter old man who has always talked unreasonably, can now speak nicely and humbly when talking to an old man who rents a yard for a living. Yes, it made Lin Mao listen to his voice for so long, but he didn't connect the voice with this person.
