Huaigui

In the bustling city of Nanshi, there is no curfew and the lights are brightly lit until late at night.There is a flower willow alley outside Jiashanfang. Only those who know how to know know how to come here to have fun.

There are many Qinlou and Chu Pavilions here, and they are not as beautiful as the drunk and carefree flowers blooming, but they also have a unique style, and the cost is not high, there is no whitewashed elegance, and the desire is straightforward and naked.People who are shy in their pockets can't afford to go drunk and happy, so they will come here to invite a few geisha to spend a good night together.

Good and evil are mixed, and conflicts are inevitable, and similar scenes will be staged every night.

"Ouch--"

Outside the Yichun courtyard in the alley, a thin figure rolled out of the gate along the steps.The few tortoises guarding the door quickly surrounded him, punching and kicking the man.

The bustard wearing cheap jewelry put her hands on her hips and spat at him viciously: "Xie Bi, you poor bastard, you dare to play prostitutes like others if you have no money! You came to my old lady for nothing!"

While being beaten, Xie Bi yelled unwillingly while protecting her head: "I didn't even touch Miss Aluan with a single finger!"

The bustard was furious when she heard that, she walked down the steps and kicked him personally: "Just you? You can't get even two taels of silver, and you want to touch our family A Luan? Pooh!"

After a few more blows, the rain of fists stopped, and Xie Bi hurriedly got up.

He clutched the bruise on his lower back, and wanted to say something, but the tall and strong man beside the bustard shook his fist at him, his neck shrank, and he hurriedly turned around and limped away.The woman in the place was still puzzled, and cursed: "I'm a scholar for nothing, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling all day long, let's die as soon as possible!"

There were many spectators in the alley, Xie Bi couldn't hold back her face, and hurried away with her head down.

His whole body hurts, and his mouth was even more dirty, saying: "A group of people who are open to money... When the young master Chun Wei high school becomes an official, I see that you still entertain the young master obediently!"

It's just that he was still red-sleeved before, but now his face hurts and his face is swollen, and the more he thinks about it, the more depressed he becomes, Xie Bi kicks the small stone at his foot forcefully.

The stone rolled away, but suddenly hit something and bounced back again.Xie Bi almost jumped three feet in place due to conditioned reflex, thinking that he had seen a ghost, and there was no other movement for a long time, so he was relieved and followed the direction of the stone just now to look carefully, and there was a person lying half dead under the big willow tree .

This is the junction of Nanshi and Dongjie. Dongjie has already died down, and many people have returned to the calm in the middle of the night, and the hustle and bustle of Nanshi is rarely transmitted here.

How could someone be here?

Xu Shi drank a couple of ounces of wine, sobered up by the wind at this moment, Xie Bi walked over staggeringly.When he got closer, he saw that the man was lying face down, motionless, so he thought it was a drunkard.

Xie Bi kicked the muddy man with her toes: "Hey, brother, sleep here at night and be careful not to get cold!"

The man didn't respond, in the past, maybe he wouldn't be nosy anymore.This day, Xie Bi squatted down rarely, stretched out his hand and pushed the man again: "Brother, brother? Wake up, it's the middle of the night..."

He pushed hard, and the man turned sideways from his stomach, and a strong smell of blood came over him immediately.

Xie Bi's whole body trembled, and she withdrew her hand instantly.He stood up and wanted to run, adhering to the principle that more things are worse than less things, but he still couldn't help it, and looked at that person a few more times by accident——

He was a handsome man with his eyes closed tightly, his lips half parted, and his face was bloodless and faintly blue.

He didn't wear a coat, just a thin coat.With the thin light, one can see that the abdomen is completely stained red, and the blood has solidified, but the large dark red area is still shocking.

Could it be a dead man?

Squatting down in front of the man again, Xie Bi recited silently three times tremblingly without speaking, and then boldly stretched out his hand to test whether his breath was still there, only the air was inhaled but not exhaled, so weak that he could hardly feel it.

still alive?

"Oh my god..." Xie Bi grabbed the man's wrist, concentrated for a while, and felt for a pulse.

He really wanted to just leave like this, but it was not easy for this person to survive until now with such a serious injury.Spring has not yet returned, and the temperature in Los Angeles is low at night. If he also leaves, this person will probably not survive.

Xie Bi glanced at him a few more times. His pale face and wounds on his waist and abdomen made his conscience uneasy. He could only feel a voice constantly hinting at saving his life.Squatting there, Xie Bi struggled for a long time, and finally sighed, "Master, I will give Chun Wei a good deed", and decided to send him to the hospital first.

But this person can't lift his shoulders or lift his hands. A poor scholar can't carry the opponent over and over again. That person is like a puddle of mud that can't support the wall, and has no limp strength.

Xie Bi cursed secretly: Today is really unlucky!

He touched the shriveled purse, gritted his teeth, and ran to the nearest shop.

"From today on, I'll be by Gu's side."

"I am a king and you are a slave, so why should I ask you first if I want to do something?"

"Father wants to make me the crown prince..."

"But you said, you are willing to die for me."

……

"No more?"

"Yes."

……

Many words kept echoing, the picture brightened and darkened, and finally stopped at the blood gushing from the chest.The carpet, the hem of the clothes, and further up, are Gao Jing's closed eyes, which seem to be stained with tears.

That mole... He stretched out his hand to touch it, but couldn't make a sound.

Helan Mingyue's eyelids trembled slightly, someone seemed to have removed the stone that was pressing on her heart, her long eyelash feathers covered a layer of shadow, and fluttered under the light for a moment, as if trying to break free from a lengthy nightmare.

Someone in the ear exclaimed: "Hey! It's moving, doctor, come and take a look!"

Then an elderly man said: "What are you panicking about! Go and get me some needles outside."

"Okay, I'll go right away, you can definitely save him!"

"Hehehe, Xie family boy, you can be kind this time."

whose voice is it?

He tried to give a little reaction, but his body was extremely heavy, and the bone-piercing cold struck again.Helan Mingyue couldn't open his eyes, and was dragged into that nightmare again, but this time, the contradiction between ice and fire seemed to be gradually far away from him, and he struggled for a while, the dream was dark and sweet, enveloping him completely.

Helan Mingyue struggled to move her fingers, and finally fell unconscious.

When I opened my eyes again, it seemed that a long time had passed.It took him a while to recognize that the simple ceiling above his head was different from the carved beams and painted pillars in his memory, and the rich medicinal fragrance around him carried a warm temperature.

The bed by the window was a bit hard, but the quilt covered her body was heavy but reassuring. He Lan Mingyue turned her head with difficulty.

The wooden door was ajar, revealing the bright sky, and the birds chirping cheerfully.

Helan Mingyue exhaled a turbid breath, tentatively feeling that her limbs seemed to be intact, and her heartbeat was slower, but still alive after all.He didn't know whether to be happy or sad, and thought dumbfoundedly: "I'm still alive."

"crunch-"

A slender figure pushed open the door and came in. When he saw his eyes open, he almost knocked over the medicine bowl in his hand, and almost rushed over, his eyes were full of unconcealable joy: "You're awake!"

The young man is a bit thin and thin, with narrow shoulders and narrow face, slender eyebrows, and his facial features are pleasing when he smiles.He was dressed plainly, with a dusty long gown and one or two holes in his belt, making him look very poor.But unlike anyone He Lan Mingyue knew before, he has an indescribable vitality.

He Lan Mingyue looked at him strangely, and said hoarsely, "I don't know you."

"Me? My name is Xie Bi, let's count it as your savior." The young man scooped up a spoonful of medicine and brought it to his mouth to feed him, "When I picked you up in Nanshi that day, I was so breathless and fainted again. In the past few days, if I don't wake up, I will suspect that the stinky old man missed this time... Hey, fortunately, he is alive!"

The entrance of the medicinal soup was unspeakably miserable, He Lan Mingyue felt nauseous and almost vomited, and forced herself to swallow: "Thank you..."

"Don't, don't, save some effort, if you want to thank, thank the smelly old man!" Xie Bi finished feeding him the medicine, put down the bowl, and covered him with the quilt again, "This is the medical center of Yongjiafang. You can rest in peace."

He Lan Mingyue nodded, and said again: "It's still...thank you."

"Hey, I'm just...is saving someone's life better than building a seven-level pagoda!" Xie Bi boasted, seeing that he didn't intend to sleep, and said with great interest, "But you don't look like a bad person, how could you suffer so much?" injury?"

When it came to the wound, Helan Mingyue was in pain again, his eyes were full of Gao Jing's expression that day, he coughed twice, his throat was so sweet that he almost vomited blood.

Xie Bi saw that he reacted so strongly that he couldn't bring it up, so she hurriedly said, "Forget it, let's recuperate first, and then I'll talk about it later when I want to talk—ah, by the way, what's your name, Xiongtai?"

"He..." He was about to say, but suddenly thought of something, he quickly shut up, and after a while, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Call me He Guichi."

"He Guichi? That's right." Xie Bi asked his age again, and He Lan Mingyue said the date, and he smiled, "I was born in the spring of the 11th year of Jianyuan, and you are one year older than me. In that case, I call you He Brother, how are you?"

He is easy-going and warm-hearted, he has never met such a person, and he is a little embarrassed by Xie Bi's unreasonable concern.He Lan Mingyue felt even more uncomfortable when he said "Big Brother". He lay down quietly for a while, and then nodded when he saw that the other party was looking at him expectantly.

Xie Bi talked so much that he was almost noisy, and he said a lot of carelessness. You are seriously injured, you must rest well. From his injury to now, it is too dangerous to use knives and guns. He didn't put it away until a child came to tell him to go out. The topic is gone.

The room became silent again, only the chirping of birds outside the window.

Helan Mingyue lay down, closed her eyes and rested for a while before gaining some peace from Xie Bi's nagging.He didn't know how to describe his mood at this time, as if he had regained his life, but he was still entangled by the past.

He knew he couldn't let go of Gao Jing, but what?

No matter what, he and Gao Jing couldn't go back.

Maybe they won't be able to see each other again in this life, Helan Mingyue suddenly thought regretfully, he didn't even leave a single souvenir.Gao Jing gave him clothes, gave him Yanshan Snow...

Just like he went to Gao Jing's side alone, except for the pain, he couldn't take anything with him when he left.

In the early morning of the next day, He Lanmingyue saw Lao Qin who was treating him.

This old courtyard is Lao Qin's ancestral property. His son is an official in other places, and he himself guards the medical center near the southern city.Opening in this place, most of the people who receive it on weekdays are low-class porters and hawkers with headaches, women from brothels and customers who fight for them and beat them up.

Lao Qin has a very weird temper. He is busy with food and drink every day.

He Lan was naturally grateful to him, but he didn't say anything. Xie Bi who was next to him said, "Smelly old man, what on earth did you make this medicine for? You can sit up after just three doses!"

Old Qin glared at Xie Bi: "When a person is about to die, he is a 'doctor', 'Uncle Qin', and when he gets better, he becomes a 'stinky old man'?"

Xie Bi laughed and said, "I can't talk with my head, so don't be as knowledgeable as I am!"

"You brat, how many old men do you have in mind?" Lao Qin lowered his head to change He Lan Mingyue's bandages, wrapped him up tightly, raised his eyes to look at He Lan's shoulders, and asked lightly, "You learn martial arts?"

Helan Mingyue nodded.

Old Qin said: "You are young and recover quickly, but the pierced knife wound is still dangerous. After using the old man's medicine, don't worry about it for the next three years. Get over it and let you continue as before!"

He Lan's eyes were a little hot, and because of the kind tone, he nodded again and said, "Thank you."

Lao Qin waved his hand, and walked out with a medicine box in his arms, saying that there was an oiran head card and he was uncomfortable, so he had to go and have a look.He Lanmingyue watched him go away, and when she turned her head, Xie Bi was still standing still.

He wondered: "Aren't you going?"

He actually regarded himself as Lao Qin's follower, Xie Bi spread his hands helplessly and said, "Lao Qin and I are just neighbors. When I was young, I was wearing a pair of open crotch pants with his youngest son, not his follower."

Is there such a heart-to-heart relationship in the world?When He Lanming met him for the first time, he wondered: "These days you go in and out of the clinic every day, I thought...you were his son."

"Xiao Qin was infected with the disease five years ago and couldn't make it through." Xie Bi sat down and chatted with him, hugging his knees, "My parents are the same. Since then, the stinky old man has regarded me as his son. I'm fine. Promising, but he can also take care of him when his eldest son is not around."

He Lan Mingyue said: "I'm sorry, I don't know these things."

Xie Bi smiled: "It happened so many years ago, it doesn't matter! I don't ask about your injuries, and you don't consider me a friend anyway."

He lives so clearly that he can see it at a glance.Helan Mingyue avoids Xie Bi's sight. He used to be master, king, colleague...but he has no friends, and he doesn't know how to be a friend.

After a moment of silence, Xie Bi poked his arm: "Hey, He Guichi, let me ask you, do you have any money?"

He Lan Mingyue frowned: "What's wrong?"

"Medical expenses!" Xie Bi said in surprise, "I won't pay for it for you! You...you are also a poor man, right?"

Just as she was about to affirm, Helan Mingyue remembered Xu Xin at this moment.

He wasn't sure if the other party really wanted to help him, but her words were as sincere as yesterday, and for today's plan, it seemed that he could only give it a try.

His eyes shifted: "It's true...you have to find someone for me."
