blue wind

Yulin City.

It was the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the weather at noon was a little hotter, but it was not so unbearable. Therefore, at this moment when the sun was shining brightly, the long street was full of people coming and going, bustling and bustling.

And the young man in red walking in the crowd is particularly eye-catching—the darker crimson, which should have looked a little gloomy, was controlled by that man, with a pair of raised eyes. The peach blossom eyes are seven points romantic, causing the little girls on the street to look sideways, and they don't know what to think for a while, and then they blushed and lowered their heads.

The young man in red didn't care about those bright or dark eyes, with a cynical smile on his lips, he walked leisurely into a restaurant, greeted the waiter, and went up to the second floor by himself. Find a private room familiarly, without knocking on the door, just push the door and enter.

There was already someone inside, sitting by the window, dressed in white, like a lonely bird.Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, he turned around, saw the young man in red, and nodded slightly in greeting: "Chi Sui, you're here."

It was Langling.

"Postponed for half a month. I thought you couldn't come out. I was planning to exchange all the assets of Tingfeng Pavilion for two rolls of silver and run away." The red-clothed boy named Chi Sui glanced at him angrily, and saw He was still holding a person whose face could not be seen clearly in his arms, and asked casually, "Who is this? The refined herbal medicine you brought out from Long Fog Valley?"

Langling smiled wryly: "There's no such thing, it's a trouble..."

"Huh?" Chi Sui suddenly became curious, "There are not many guys who can be called troublesome by you."

Langling sighed, and carefully turned the thing in his arms around.The man was in a coma, his face was pale, without anything to lean on, his head drooped powerlessly, and he was resting in the crook of Lang Ling's arms.

Chi Sui had already seen the silver bat mark and the black cloth covering his eyes clearly, his complexion changed, and he whispered: "Little bat?"

His voice was so low that even Lang Ling couldn't hear it clearly, but seeing the surprised look on his face, she was also a little surprised: "Do you recognize him?"

Chi Sui's expression was a bit subtle, and he quickly adjusted: "What is that group of people called 'The No. [-] Killer in Jianghu'? No one knows it."

Lang Ling understood: "Yes."

"How did you mess with him, mission?" Chi Sui asked strangely, then shook his head again, "No, if he really wanted to kill you, with your character, how could you keep him alive until now? killed."

His eyes rolled twice, and he lowered his voice: "You asked me to come, mostly to treat him? It's rare to see you care so much about a person. Seeing his sickly face, I'm afraid you are not treating him Did you do something unreasonable that you dare not admit to, so you take it so seriously? For example... huh?"

Lang Ling's face was slightly red, she clenched her fist and pressed it to her mouth, and coughed lightly: "...Yes."

He recognized it readily, but Chi Sui was really surprised: "No, are you serious? I'm just guessing randomly!"

Embarrassed, Lang Ling hurriedly changed the subject: "Let's not talk about that first, you can help him take a look first."

Chi Sui glanced at him with a strange look for a heartless man, then walked forward, took Xanthium's wrist, and concentrated on feeling his pulse.After a while, he let go of Xan'er's wrist, and took Langling's pulse again, and then looked at Xan'er with a bit of unexplained pity.

"What's wrong?" Lang Ling frowned.

"Tsk tsk tsk," Chi Sui shook his head, "When he met you, he was really miserable for eight lifetimes."

Lang Ling clenched her hands unconsciously: "...how should I say it?"

"Do you know what the Gu poison in you is usually used for?" Chi Sui said pitifully, "There is a price but no market—but gold is precious."

The bad premonition in Langling's heart became stronger and stronger: "The poison...what is it for?"

"To put it bluntly, it is used for double repair and harvesting." Chi Sui said leisurely, "You won't be able to do it, and you haven't noticed anything?"

Langling was silent.

He did feel that his skills had improved, and he was also aware of the weakness and exhaustion after each session of cocklebur, and he was faintly aware of the relationship between the two as early as when he was in the valley.Now that the guess was confirmed, he didn't know what to say, he could only hold the unconscious person tightly in a daze, feeling more and more indebted.

"Also," Chi Sui glanced at him sideways, and added, "He was unable to have intercourse when he was poisoned at first, so it's hard for you to torment him for so many days, and Lord Yan Luo also confiscated him."

"...It's my fault." Langling sighed softly, "Can you still... recover well?"

"Did you give him a lot of skill?" Chi Sui yawned, "Thanks to you, the foundation is not damaged too much, and it is not difficult to recover. It's just that you think a person of his status, even if If you provide him with medicinal materials, will he have the time and energy to recuperate well? Let me tell you, you might as well let him fend for himself. If you think about it, he is not willing to have anything to do with you. Don’t be so kind as a donkey. The white-eyed wolf comes out."

"In the end, I owe him." Langling shook her head and said in a low voice, "Won't he be harmed by letting him go like this? If he dies because of me, then I won't be able to pass this threshold in my life, I'm afraid To become a demon."

"That's true. Then what are you going to do? Take him back to Tingfeng Pavilion?" Chi Sui slightly put away his sloppy demeanor, and said seriously, "Think about it, this guy is not a domestic pet, and sooner or later he will rush You show your claws, you can't tell when it will bite you back, it's dangerous. If you get into trouble, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Langling didn't speak, she was silent for a while, then sighed quietly: "Let's talk about it."

Chiranan knew that he had made up his mind, and he couldn't be easily shaken, and he didn't say anything against it, he just stood up, stretched his waist, and said casually: "Then I'll go to make some medicine first, so that the little bat won't be able to hold on halfway—" —This is not close to your Tingfeng Pavilion."

Langling responded in a low voice, not noticing the slightly intimate address.

Chi Sui glanced at Xan'er meaningfully, turned and left, and within a moment, even the hem of his clothes disappeared outside the door.Lang Ling watched him go, then lowered her head, looked at Cang Er's pale and thin side face quietly, after a long while, sighed, stretched out her hand to gently caress his cheek, muttering to herself Said: "You are really a big/trouble, and I don't know if my decision is right or wrong..."

Chi Sui quickly prepared the conditioning medicine, but when the medicine came, even in a coma, Xanthium pursed his lips very resistingly, not to mention a bowl, he would never drink even a drop.Langling tried several times, but finally gave up helplessly after almost knocking over the medicine bowl.

Chi Sui had been standing by the side watching with great interest, seeing that he was at a loss for what to do, he came up with an idea and said, "Why don't you feed him mouth to mouth?"

Lang Ling looked at him coldly.

"Hey, don't be like this." Chi Sui shrugged, "Isn't it written like this in all the drawing books?"

"Stop looking at those indecent things." Lang Ling sighed, and looked at Xan'er with a headache, "What should I do? Can't force him down?"

"Why not?" Chi Sui said lazily, "Do you feel distressed?"

This question made Lang Ling at a loss for words for a moment, and she didn't know how to answer.Fortunately, Chi Sui just asked casually, and quickly walked up, took the decoction in his hand: "Let me try it."

Lang Ling backed away silently.

Holding the medicine in one hand, Chi Sui swayed in front of Xanthium, squinted his eyes and looked at him for a while, then suddenly poked down with his finger, as fast as lightning.

Lang Ling was shocked: "Wait..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Xanthium groan. He didn't know which acupoint was hit, but he coughed in pain, and let out a hoarse growl from his throat, like a child whose trachea had been cut. Dying people cry for help.

He opened his mouth, and Chi Sui took the opportunity to push the medicine bowl forward and forcefully poured it down for him.Xanthium choked, coughing more and more painfully, curled up in extreme discomfort, retching unceasingly, his face was as white as paper.

This series of events happened too quickly, and when Lang Ling came back to her senses, Chi Sui had already put down the medicine bowl, and said casually, "Isn't it better?"

"You..." Langling didn't expect that he was really hard-pressed, her face changed color, she rushed to catch up with two steps, and without caring too much, she grabbed Xan'er's wrist.

"It's okay, I can't die." Chi Sui packed his things without raising his eyelids, "If you don't drink this soup, you will really kill him."

Xanthium was still coughing, and his face was pale at first, but now even the thin blood on his lips had faded, and he looked dying.His fingertips were convulsed, scratching feebly on the bed, as if trying to grab something with all his might, but he couldn't.

Langling couldn't bear to see it, so she moved her sleeve and let him grasp a corner. Unexpectedly, after another violent cough of Xanthium, she moved her head slightly, and a faint breath came out of her throat : "...Lang...Ling?"

The sound was so weak that Lang Ling suspected for a moment that he had heard it wrong, but he looked down at the hem of the clothes held by the cocklebur, and felt that it was not unreasonable for this person to call him.

He couldn't help but move in his heart, bent down, put his whole hand on the forehead of the cocklebur, and said softly: "It's me, I've already left the valley, you should have a good rest."

Cocklebur had just woken up, and he was still a little confused, but maybe he could hear the meaning of Langling's words.

Acknowledging his identity means that the person looking at him is still a familiar person; leaving the valley means that the deal has been concluded and the surrounding environment has changed; telling him to take a good rest means that at least for the time being he has no plans to move him, so he should not worry too much.

In a flash, Xanthium sorted out the situation, knowing that he was still safe, so he was slightly relieved.He gasped for a while, put down his hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "In that case, let me go."

Lang Ling frowned.

Walk?With such a weak body that can't even stand up, and looks like it will die at any time?

"I won't stop you from looking for death, but I see that although you are not afraid of death, you don't want to die after all. Why bother?" He didn't rush to get annoyed like ordinary people, but said calmly, "It's better to go back and listen to the news. Ge Na Zhuangzi, let’s recuperate for a while, after your martial arts recover, won’t it be easy to leave?”

Cocklebur remained silent.

"I won't harm you." Lang Ling seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and said lightly, "I'm not afraid to tell you that the exercises I practice are right...that kind of thing, I have a lot of scruples, and I won't risk it The risk of becoming obsessed is not in your favor."

He leaned slightly: "What, think about it, Your Excellency, the number one assassin in Jianghu?"

Xanthium's expression was tense at first, but when he heard such a title, he froze for a moment, revealing a little bewilderment.

Lang Ling was taken aback by this blankness, and then remembered that this guy probably didn't pay attention to information other than the mission goal at all, and probably didn't even know that he had such a name, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

Fortunately, Xanthium's daze was only for a moment.He quickly recovered his expression, thought for a while, and finally said in a hoarse voice, "January."

"Okay." Langling agreed straightforwardly, her eyebrows and eyes curved just right, it seemed gentle, but in a flash she didn't look like it again.
