Huangquan Roadside Inn

Early the next morning, when Bai Xi woke up, he found that he was actually in Jin Hong's arms. He didn't have time to recall how he was in Jin Hong's arms, but he crawled out of his arms carefully, but he didn't want to lift Jin Hong up again. When he was holding his arm, he accidentally met his quiet eyes.

"It's because you are afraid of the cold, so you insisted on getting into my arms." Jin Hong said leisurely, but he didn't want these words to stop in Bai Xi's ears, making him blush immediately.

I was so unrestrained, and slipped into the arms of a big man. Fortunately, he was not a little girl, so my blushing faded away for a moment, I just cleared my throat, and said nonchalantly:

"So, thank you for keeping me warm."

"Then do you still want me to hug tonight?" Jin Hong also sat up from the bed, bent one leg, and looked at Baixi with his knees around.

Bai Xi's expression was a little unnatural, he ignored Jin Hong's words, turned over and got out of bed, and went out to wash up.

After breakfast at the mayor's house, the mayor took Baixi and Jin Hong to the quarry in the back mountain. Because all the young and middle-aged people in the town fell ill, the quarry was full of people. It was empty, and listening to the crows, it seemed a little weird.

On the mountain ridge, the mayor and Bai Xi both stood behind Jin Hong, looking at Jin Hong who was dressed in black in front of him like a layman.

Jin Hong looked around the entire quarry, counting with his fingers, his brows were also slightly furrowed, and his face became more and more gloomy.

The mayor looked at Bai Xi beside him curiously: "Doctor Mingyue, do you think your apprentice can catch demons?"

Bai Xi thought for a while, then nodded: "He used to be a monster catcher, but he was injured and rescued by me, so he followed me to study medicine."

Hearing what Bai Xi said, the mayor felt relieved, and carefully watched Jin Hong pinch his fingers and calculate.

After staring for a long time, Jin Hong turned around and looked at the two behind him: "Are you afraid?"

"What's the matter?" Bai Xi's heart was also lifted into his throat by Jin Hong's words.

"This quarry is a place where ghosts gather, but now there is no soul." Jin Hong said seriously, but the two people in front of him looked ignorant and could not understand what he was saying at all. What.

Jin Hong thought for a while, and then said: "Your Xiahe town gathers grievances, and there are monsters haunting them, so I deduce that there is a monster living in your Xiahe town, and this monster specializes in sucking human souls to refine spells."

"What, there are demons in our Xiahe Town?" Hearing what Jin Hong said, the mayor was so frightened that he almost lost his footing and fell down the quarry from the mountain ridge. Fortunately, Baixi caught him and saved him. killed him.

But now, he was still covered in cold sweat and his legs were weak.

"Yes, it's just that the demon can't eat the raw soul, it has to be refined in a container, so I thought, someone in Xiahe Town colluded with the demon and borrowed the life of the young man in your town to achieve the purpose of obtaining the soul." So please tell me, the mayor, has anyone in your town been to the quarry in the past half a month, or where are they gathered besides the quarry?" Jin Hong held his hands behind his back Come, let the mountain wind shake his skirt and hair, elegant and agile.

Regarding Jin Hong's question, the mayor also suppressed the fear in his heart and thought about it carefully, but for some reason, the expression that was clearly frightened gradually turned into disbelief, and he murmured: "Shouldn't it be true?" Ah, it won't be his."

"What's wrong?" Seeing the mayor's frown, Bai Xi became more and more curious.

"Half a month ago, it was the day when Zhao Dashan in our town repaired the ancestral hall in the town. Because the ancestral hall in our town was in disrepair for a long time, Zhao Dashan donated money to repair the ancestral hall. It has only been two days since the restoration of the ancestral hall, and his face has become more and more radiant. We also said that Zhao Dashan moved the world because of his kindness, and he looks younger every day." The mayor pondered carefully, This is how to talk about it in detail.

After hearing this, Jin Hong felt confident: "To see him now, I'm afraid he's already rejuvenated, just like a young and middle-aged man."

"Why?" Bai Xi asked hastily.

"You forgot what I said before, the monster borrowed the life of those young people in the town to speed up its method of obtaining souls, and this borrowed life must be borne by one person, so once these young people If you die, this soul will naturally go to the person who borrowed his life, and then some monsters will take it out and suck it." Jin Hong's face became more and more serious, and he clenched his fists involuntarily.

"Then are we going to find Mr. Zhao Dashan now?" Bai Xi asked.

"if not."

Seeing Jin Hong's expression, Bai Xi felt a little embarrassed.

Also, now that we know the origin of this disease, we must eliminate the source, so as to be considered complete.

only……

"You just said that this quarry is also a place where ghosts gather, so there is not a trace of soul here, could it be related to that monster?" On the way back, Bai Xi looked at Jin Hong beside him suspiciously, and asked quickly road.

Jin Hong nodded: "The monster devoured all the ghosts here in order to cultivate, but it still wanted to practice, so it paid attention to the villagers in Xiahe Town. If such monsters are not eliminated, there will be troubles in the future."

"I believe you are a god." The doubts on Bai Xi's face gradually dissipated, and gradually changed into a smiling face.

"Didn't you believe it before?" Jin Hong was a little puzzled.

"Well, only God cares about the life and death of the world." Bai Xi nodded in response: "God is merciful, and you are also merciful, so I believe."

Jin Hong looked at Bai Xi's smile like a bright sun, a light he had never seen before, that kind of confidence was deeply engraved in his heart, making him want to bring that warm smile back to the Hall of Eternal Life, All warm themselves.

"Gods are always merciful." Jin Hong responded to Bai Xi's words, and walked side by side with him, as if the road would never be finished, and he did not return to the town until noon.

It's just that in front of the gate of the mayor's house, the door was still closed before leaving. When he came back, there were two more Heisha gods in front of the door, with gloomy faces and hands behind his back. He only said that Zhao Dashan was grateful for Doctor Mingyue's diagnosis and treatment. The villagers specially prepared food and wine in the mansion and invited him to go.

"There is fraud in it." Jin Hong whispered into Bai Xi's ear.

Bai Xi nodded, and then bowed to the two Heisha gods: "I'm just a commoner, how can I work for Zhao Dashan to invite me?"

"Mr. Mingyue just doesn't give face to Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao is kind and always treats others like a family member. Dr. Mingyue has done a lot of hard work in treating the villagers. Mr. Zhao should treat Dr. Mingyue to a banquet, or Mr. Mingyue thinks Mr. Zhao is not worthy to sit with you. What?" The leader was not very hot, although he looked more than respectful, but after all, there was a bit of persecution in his words.

Baixi was in a dilemma, if he had been invited by Zhao Dashan before, he would have gone, but now after hearing what Jin Hong said, he dared not go.

Mr. Zhao Dashan has a monster in his family, he is just a mere mortal, how can he beat that monster.

So after thinking about it, Bai Xi was also a little scared, but Jin Hong who was at the side shook his hand and said: "Don't be afraid, I will go with you."

"Mr. Zhao only invited Dr. Mingyue. I'm afraid this son will have to wait at the mayor's house." Hearing Jin Hong's words, the man quickly refused.

Originally, he was a little relieved to hear that Jin Hong was going to Baixi, but now he was a little frightened when he heard that he was only invited to go.

Jin Hong is here, he is not afraid.

Since Jin Hong was not there, he still thought it would be better not to go.

"That's okay." Jin Hong held Bai Xi's face, wiped his cheekbones with his thumb, and nodded lightly between his eyebrows: "Go, don't be afraid."

This Jin Hong's gentle and soft words made the scared Bai Xi feel at ease immediately, then nodded, and left in front of the mayor's house together with the two Heisha gods who came to invite people.

The mayor looked at his back with some worry, and cast his gaze away like Bai Xi, but he received a comforting look from Jin Hong, and whispered: "It's okay, I have everything, it's okay."

Only then did the mayor nod his head, and watched Bai Xi and them go to Zhao's house with peace of mind.

The ancestor of Zhao Dashan was not originally from Xiahe Town. He used to be in the goldware business, and later he had a cloth and silk business.

Because of the good feng shui in Xiahe Town, the whole family moved here. Since then, the family business has been smooth sailing and skyrocketed. However, the Zhao family did not forget to give back to the village, repairing roadbeds and building stone bridges without asking for anything in return. This is also true in Xiahe Town. Earned a certain reputation.

Therefore, when the Zhao family is mentioned, everyone has more than respect.

After going to the mayor's house to invite Bai Xi's servants to bring him into Zhao's house, he was led by the servants of the mansion to the front hall. Perhaps because of Jin Hong's words, Bai Xi was sitting on the chair in the front hall It was extraordinarily unsteady, and even looking at the maids serving outside, it felt extraordinarily weird, like sitting on pins and needles, but they couldn't escape.

"I thought Dr. Mingyue would be over half a hundred years old, but I didn't expect it to be for young people. He is really awesome. He is so good at medicine at such a young age. I really admire him." A man who spoke in a low voice came out of the back hall .

He has a face like a crown jade, and a tall figure, only the beard on his face is particularly abrupt, as if he is hiding something.

Bai Xi saw it, but didn't say it clearly, but stood up and saluted the man who was speaking, "Thank you for the compliment, my medical skills are superficial, so it's not a big deal, Mr. Zhao praised him, but Mr. Zhao, the people outside It is said that Mr. Zhao is over sixty years old, but seeing him now, Mr. Zhao is only in his thirties, which is really enviable, and the ancients pursued the art of immortality, which is probably the case."

The man in front of him was stunned for a moment, then stroked his beard and smiled, "Doctor Mingyue is really good at joking, but I invited Doctor Mingyue here today to ask about the health conditions of the villagers, why did they become like old people overnight? Did Doctor Mingyue make a diagnosis?"

"Diagnosed." Bai Xi smiled and answered seriously.
