blue wind

The dew was deeper, the lights and shadows were everywhere, and the chill of the night quietly crept into every corner, which made the red candle on the bedside shake and a drop of tear fell.

Langling slowly tucked up the quilt for Xan'er, stared at his peaceful sleeping face, and murmured dreamily: "When will he wake up?"

"After seven or eight days, he was seriously injured." Chi Sui replied while still making medicine, "Left and right have saved their lives first, and don't get a fever. That's enough to thank God."

"En." Lang Ling lowered her eyes, looked at Xan'er for a while, reached out to touch the wounds on his eyes and throat, and carefully pulled out his right hand, put it in the palm of her hand, and covered it with the other hand. On the top, I didn't dare to use force at all, only dared to touch it so lightly.

It's as if if you use too much force, you will crush that person's wrist.

"Don't worry, I've seen that no tendons are hurt, and the bones aren't too bad." Chi Sui could see his worry at a glance, and said with relief, "It's good for him to raise him for a month or two. It doesn't matter anymore."

"That's good." Lang Ling responded like this, but she didn't seem to feel relieved, but even more sad.

"I didn't notice he was hurt so much..." he murmured.

Before Chi Sui made the medicine, he put all his attention on maintaining the unbroken pulse of cocklebur, even if he noticed these non-fatal injuries, he put it in the back of his mind.It wasn't until the wound on Xanthium's waist was sealed by the medicinal mud after taking the medicine, and he no longer needed to send internal force to hang his life all the time, that he had the time to look at these pains that he had neglected before.

He never imagined that apart from the knife wound that ran through the entire flank, there were so many large and small wounds on Xanthium's body - scratches under the eyes, blood stains on the throat, broken right wrist, palm prints on the left chest... …

His eyes paused for a long time on the half-deep bloody wound on the neck of the cocklebur, the wound made him feel chills from the bottom of his heart, and even his whole body trembled slightly.

He couldn't imagine, if the sharp blade was an inch deeper, if the opponent used a little more force, would he...would he really lose his little bat forever?

Just thinking about this kind of result made him feel as if he was standing in the cold winter of Sanjiu, even his blood cooled down.

Seeing that he was in a trance, Chi Sui said with great interest, "I'll go find some more medicine", and then silently exited the room, leaving the space for the two people who were sitting and lying down.

Xanthium's hand was very cold, even the warmest quilt could not warm his cold skin.Langling put his hands together in the palm of his hand, rubbed them patiently to warm them up little by little, then put them back, and continued with the other hand.When both his hands were warmed up, Lang Ling bent down, put her lips to his forehead lightly, then stretched out her hand, intending to warm his feet too.

At this moment, Xanthium frowned slightly and muttered something vaguely.

His voice was soft and thin, almost breathless, but because Lang Ling hadn't had time to straighten up, she still heard it.

Ling.

He is talking.

I'm so cold.

Langling's hand froze there and did not move for a long, long time.

The person who didn't even notice his hands cracked in the bitter cold wind, is now comatose on the bed with scars all over his body, and he has not even fully survived the moment when his life is hanging by a thread. Instead of shouting pain to him, she told him softly and coquettishly, it's so cold.

Lang Ling closed her eyes forcefully, pressing back the tears welling up in her eyes.He took off his shoes and socks, turned onto the bed lightly, avoiding the wound of the cocklebur, and carefully embraced the whole person in his arms, cheek to cheek, chest to chest.

Xan'er sighed very softly, if it wasn't for Langling's strong ears, she wouldn't even have heard the last sound that dissipated in the air.

He just sighed, then there was no movement, and he seemed to have fallen asleep peacefully.Maybe he actually wanted to nest in Langling's arms as usual, but the movement was too weak, so he didn't notice it.

But Langling is very clear about his little habits, and knows that cocklebur likes to nestle in her arms when it is free.Usually he didn't notice it very much, but now after listening to Xanthium's murmur, he finally understood that maybe that guy felt too cold, so he wanted to gain some warmth from himself enough to support him to go on.

He touched the cheek with Xanthium pitifully, changed positions for him as gently as possible, and wrapped the whole person in his arms as much as possible.

The tip of the cocklebur's nose was close to the skin behind his ear, and the tiny airflow produced by his breathing brushed the back of his neck, making it feel a little itchy.

But it was precisely because of this itch that Lang Ling could finally calm down and close her eyes for a while to sleep lightly.

In fact, he was also extremely exhausted. From the time he discovered the cocklebur to the present, in order to save the life of the cocklebur, he spent nearly ten hours of internal energy on that person without sleep, almost exhausting every trace of available internal energy in his tendons. .If it wasn't for the medicine that Chi Sui concocted really worked, if this continued, he would damage the foundation of his martial arts practice.

Having lived in seclusion behind the scenes for a long time, he almost forgot when was the last time he used his internal force so desperately.It's just that he was really sleepy, even if he felt the emptiness in his body, that little discomfort couldn't stop the surging sleepiness.

The slight but real breath in his ears reduced his inner anxiety a lot. In this situation, he hugged the cocklebur and slowly fell asleep.

The situation of Xanthium was still very critical, so he didn't plan to sleep for a long time, but just slept for an hour and a half before waking up again.

After confirming that Lang Ling was awake, An Xiao, who had been waiting by the side, took a step forward and knelt down on one knee: "Pavilion Master."

Since An Xiao didn't wake him up, it shouldn't be something important to report at this time.Langling straightened the broken hair in front of Cang'er's forehead, and then asked lightly: "What's wrong?"

Dark Hawk seemed a little hesitant.But after a while, he gritted his teeth and said resolutely: "This subordinate... has some doubts about His Excellency 'Poison Phoenix'."

Lang Ling subconsciously frowned.But he also knew his subordinates well, and knew that if there was no evidence, the dark owl would never talk nonsense, so he didn't rush to get angry, just said: "Why?"

The dark owl said in a low voice: "This subordinate was ordered to assist Your Excellency 'Du Feng' in making medicines, and accidentally discovered that His Excellency 'Du Feng' was behind everyone's back and adding something to the ground medicine. Originally, this subordinate didn't think much about it, but 'Du Feng' "When your Excellency saw this subordinate, his expression was very... unnatural. This subordinate became a little suspicious, but he thought that the friendship between His Excellency 'Poison Phoenix' and the Pavilion Master for many years should not be enough, so he did not report. It's just that Your Excellency 'Poison Phoenix' went out from you, saying that he was looking for Yaoyin, but after leaving the city, he threw off the hidden guards who sent to assist him, and disappeared. His subordinates hurriedly sent someone to look for it, and a hidden guard came later The legend said that he had found someone, so I told him to follow him all the way..."

Speaking of this, he paused and explained: "The subordinate had no other intentions at the time, just wanted to find out the destination of Your Excellency 'Poison Phoenix', if His Excellency 'Poison Phoenix' is in danger, the hidden guard It can also protect Your Excellency 'Poison Phoenix' comprehensively."

Langling nodded slightly: "Continue."

An Xiao saw that he was not angry because of his self-assessment, he was slightly relieved, and continued: "The dark guard followed all the way, just now, he sent a letter again, saying..."

His face became serious: "He saw His Excellency 'Poison Phoenix' go up the Gu Mo Ridge with his own eyes."

Lang Ling was taken aback: "You mean... Gu Mo Ridge?"

"Yes." An Xiao said, "Because there are poisonous insects all over the mountains and plains in Gu Mo Ridge, and the dark guards can't keep up, so it is impossible to judge whether Your Excellency 'Poison Phoenix' is going up the mountain to collect medicine, or has a relationship with the one in Gu Mo Ridge." What an intersection. But..."

He said with deep meaning: "Your Excellency 'Poison Phoenix' and you have been friends for many years, but not Mr. Cang."

Langling knew that this subordinate was euphemistically reminding herself that it is imperative to be on guard against others.It is undeniable that when he first heard the news, his heart was a little shaken.

He and Chi Sui had known each other a long time ago.About 11 years ago, when Lang Ling, who was still a young man, entered the mountain, the first encounter with Chi Sui was because they stepped on a medicinal herb and got into a fight.As a result of that fight, both of them lost their strength. Chi Sui lay on the ground, angrily gave Langling a science lesson on the precautions for picking and maintaining medicinal materials, and hurt him severely by the way, making Langling's breath go straight. Tooth itching.

This was really not a good start, but as the saying goes, "If you don't fight, you don't know each other." Since then, the two young boys have gradually met more and more, and they have gradually become very good friends.It's just that with regard to their own life experience, one of these two people is deliberately vague, and the other is secretive. In the end, neither of them knows the other's information very well.

Even though Lang Ling later took over Tingfeng Pavilion and developed it into the No. [-] intelligence organization in Jianghu, out of respect for his friends, he never investigated Chi Sui's background and other personal matters.

Living in this world, who doesn't have some secrets that they don't want to tell.

It's just that he really didn't expect that Chi Sui would have something to do with Gu Mo Ridge, and he would find out about it in this way at this time.

If that's the case, Chi Sui and Xanthium... would they know each other?

Langling looked down at Xan'er's face, and suddenly remembered how shocked Chi Sui was when he saw Xan'er's face.

Maybe it was because he was silent for too long, An Xiao called anxiously: "Lord Pavilion Master?"

Lang Ling immediately withdrew her thoughts.

"Do you want to stop using the medicine made by Your Excellency 'Poison Phoenix'?" An Xiao asked for instructions.

"No need." Langling said lightly, "He doesn't have any bad intentions. I wouldn't even be able to tell whether a friend I've been with for more than ten years is a real friend or a wolf in sheep's clothing. He will avoid you, maybe because of that. Medicine primers are not accepted by ordinary people."
