eighth story

Xuan Jue couldn't remember the last time Wu Qinyang was sick.

Wu Qinyang has been in good health since he was a child. He eats delicious food, is active and athletic, and dares to go ice skating in winter wearing a woolen sweater and a thin coat. He never catches a cold when the seasons change. Doesn't look like a fucking son.Every year when the seasons change, Qin Yao will most likely be exhausted for a week, with a headache, a runny nose, and lying on the bed in a large font to accept her son's ridicule.

In Xuan Jue's memory, the most serious illness of Wu Qinyang was due to eating a bad stomach. When Wu Qinyang was five years old, Qin Yao celebrated his birthday. The six members of the family went to eat teppanyaki together. Note the thin slices of raw beef sneaked out of the ice tray.Children's appetites are always delicate, the key is that Wu Qinyang became addicted to the dipping sauce because it tastes good, and he started to have diarrhea after eating too much raw and cold food when he got home, and then he still had a little fever, and Qin Yao chanted, "Ouch, hello You little ancestor, who is not worrying to make people worry about, hugged and ran to the hospital in a hurry, just like that, Wu Qinyang was still playing with the buttons on Qin Yao's clothes all the way - this was before.

It can be said that Xuan Jue has never seen Wu Qinyang like this, weak and sick, his face is as pale as paper, trembling and trying to curl up into a ball, trembling, calling "Brother" vaguely, It actually made Xuan Jue dumbfounded all of a sudden.

Before, Tan Yi didn't have much strength to lift Wu Qinyang to the bed, so he could only help him to sit down on the chair.He tried the temperature of Wu Qinyang's forehead with his hand, and felt that he had a severe fever, but Wu Qinyang only felt cold in a daze, shivering with chills, and Tan Yi had to fill him with a hot water bottle to keep him warm.Xuan Jue rushed over after answering the call from Tan Yi. He didn't have time to inform Wu Chunxing and Qin Yao that he drove to the school after 09:30 in the evening. Go up and see the situation first.Xuan Jue's spells are not in vain at ordinary times, after all, they are the basis of his transformation, and he was thinking about whether to skip the auntie and go upstairs directly, but it was Tan Yi who memorized Wu Qinyang.

Wu Qinyang's weight is not light for such a big person, but fortunately, there is an elevator in the second building of the boys' apartment, so it doesn't take much effort to go up and down.When Tan Yi arrived downstairs, Xuan Jue hugged Wu Qinyang. He came out in a hurry, and he didn't wear the sunglasses. At this moment, the amber cat's eyes reflected a faint gleam under the moonlight. It was like tiny stars shining in the sky.

Tan Yi stared into his eyes in surprise for a while, then said after a while: "The hospital can't cure his disease."

Xuan Jue also realized at this time that Wu Qinyang's body was hot at first glance, but with his cultivation base, he could easily detect the coldness surging under the scorching heat. Hearing what Tan Yi said at this moment, it was unavoidable. He raised his head and looked at him more.Tan Yi avoided Xuan Jue's twinkling eyes, only feeling uncomfortable being stared at like this.Xuan Jue was wondering if Tan Yi knew something, but suddenly he heard the sound of an ambulance driving into the school, and the flickering blue light was heading directly towards Building [-] of the boys' dormitory through the dense pine needles and leaves. The direction went.

Xuan Jue didn't say any more, just glanced at Tan Yi again, and then said in a deep voice, "Thank you." After saying that, he carried Wu Qinyang into the car, placed him properly in the co-pilot's seat, and then Go back to the other side of the door, get in the car and sit in the driver's seat.

Tan Yi stood at the door of the dormitory building, watching Xuan Jue turn the car around, and then looked thoughtfully in the direction of Building No. [-] of the male dormitory. He just stood quietly at the door of the building for a while, until because The cold winter wind sneezed, rubbed his nose and went back to the dormitory.

When the car drove out of the campus, Wu Qinyang seemed to be a little awake, but the feeling of being out of breath made his breathing extremely rapid, and it was only enough for him to muster up his strength and whisper: "Brother..."

Xuanjue said: "Yangyang." After speaking, he freed his right hand for him to hold.The breath flowing from Xuan Jue's body was very warm, Wu Qinyang involuntarily hugged his arm tightly without him taking the initiative to reach out.Xuan Jue stabilized his left hand while driving, and said to Wu Qinyang, "Yangyang, hold on, I'll take you home to find my dad."

Although Xuan Jue could sense the weird coldness on Wu Qinyang's body, he couldn't guarantee that he would be cured of his illness. If he was not sure, it would be more appropriate to go home and let Qin Zhi deal with it.Wu Qinyang was panting lowly, he didn't know if he heard Xuanjue's words just now, there were noisy voices floating in his ears, but he couldn't hear them clearly, there was also a hazy heat in front of his eyes, and the dim lights flickered , as if someone was grabbing his feet and dragging him into the deep sea, which made him cling tightly to the only heat source in his perception.

When the car reached the intersection, there were still a few seconds left before the green light. Xuan Jue stepped on the accelerator subconsciously, and was about to rush over before the yellow light flashed, but suddenly heard the sound of an ambulance chasing from behind, and rushed towards the hospital. The direction went.

After more than half an hour, Wu Qinyang's breathing seemed to become more rapid, and veins appeared on the back of the hand holding Xuan Jue's arm.Wu Qinyang felt that his brain was being dug out bit by bit by something, and his whole body seemed to be thrown naked into the ice of Antarctica. Gradually blurred.

He seemed to hear that very old voice again, weak, like a hand tightening around his neck.Wu Qinyang let out a muffled snort, and subconsciously wanted to break the restraint on his neck, but for some reason, his hands tightened and tightened, and finally directly pinched his own neck.His head was covered with sweat, and he leaned his head against the back of the chair, making intermittent weak moans. After a while, the voice didn't sound like his own anymore, like a woman crying.Wu Qinyang did not know when a long and narrow wound appeared on Wu Qinyang's neck, and thick blood slowly oozes out. At this moment, he threw himself on Xuan Jue's body again, and stretched out his hand to pinch Xuan Jue's neck .

Xuan Jue had noticed Wu Qinyang's abnormality long ago, but Wu Qinyang's movements were too fast.He was originally driving with one hand, but at this moment when Wu Qinyang threw his hands on him, his hands left the steering wheel in an instant.The car that lost control shook violently in the middle of the road, and was about to rush straight to the side of the road.Xuanjue passed through Wu Qinyang's armpit with one hand, groped for the steering wheel again, and stabilized himself, but Wu Qinyang still refused to let go, the strength of his hands was fierce and fierce, and the whole person rushed over, causing Xuanjue to rush forward. I can't see the road ahead, so I can only step on the brakes in a hurry.

Xuan Jue held his wrist from bottom to top with his left hand, but he couldn't hurt him, so he could only push it out.But their car was not the only one on the road. The driver behind had already noticed something wrong in the front from the shaking just now, but the rash braking still inevitably caused the nearest car behind them to rear-end.The bump of the car at the moment of the rear-end collision caused Wu Qinyang to tilt uncontrollably to the side. Xuanjue took the opportunity to perform a spell with one hand, grabbed the gap and slapped Wu Qinyang's chest with a palm, a foul-smelling black air It slowly overflowed from the wound on Wu Qinyang's neck, and then turned into a translucent black-gray mucus that adhered to the window and everywhere.

The rearview mirror also shattered due to the impact of the collision, and the fallen glass fragments left a not-so-serious scratch on Xuan Jue's temple.

Wu Qinyang slumped on the seat, his eyes were tightly closed, his face was still as pale as paper.

Xuan Jue raised his hand to cover the wound on his temple, but he heard someone knocking on the car window.The driver at the back cursed and said unceremoniously, "What the hell are you doing?"

Xuan Jue said: "Sorry." She used her body to block the driver's view of the co-pilot, and got out of the car.

He breathed slightly, and looked up at the rear-end of the two cars. The trunk of his car had been completely deformed, and the front of the co-pilot's side of the car behind was also completely shattered.Xuan Jue thought he couldn't be tripped here, but the owner of the car over there had already called the traffic police, as if he didn't want to give up, and some onlookers stopped around one after another to point and point.Seeing this, Xuan Jue thought of taking it personally. For the first time, he took out a gold card from his pocket with a particularly upstart temperament, handed it to the driver and said at the same time: "Take the money in the card to repair the car, and the rest I'll pay you for the money, sorry, I'm in a hurry."

After finishing speaking, he turned to the passenger side and opened the car door, picked up Wu Qinyang and left.Only then did the driver come to his senses, and said repeatedly: "Hey hey—what do you want to run?"

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry." Xuan Jue repeated, at this time the driver also noticed the pale Wu Qinyang in his arms by the light of the street lamp, and was stunned for a moment, wanting to say something else, But he was frightened back by the glimmer of light in Xuanjue's eyes, and he just held the gold card that Xuanjue gave him in a daze.

Xuan Jue didn't say much, carried Wu Qinyang across the crowd, and took a taxi home.

Wu Qinyang felt cold, and being hugged by him, he felt that the stale air that was lingering in his chest was blown away vigorously, and he started coughing uncontrollably after waking up.

However, his spirit was still weak, and he whispered: "Brother..."

Xuanjue said: "Yangyang, are you still cold?"

Wu Qinyang let out a low "huh" and passed out again.

The intersection where the accident occurred was not very far from home, and the taxi soon drove into the villa area. Although the driver was curious about the situation of the two of them and wanted to ask, he also knew that the people who could live here were not idle people, and they Ordinary people can't solve the related matter, so they don't ask more questions.Xuan Jue paid for the car and helped Wu Qinyang get out of the car. Wu Qinyang leaned against Xuan Jue's body, and the two walked to the door with a stagger. Xuan Jue went to pick out the keys in his pocket.

Before the key was taken out, the door opened by itself.

Qin Zhi and Xiao Yunhe stood in front of the door, both of them were wearing coats, as if preparing to go out.

Xiao Yunhe frowned and said, "What's wrong with you two? Yang Yang?"

Qin Zhi helped Wu Qinyang, and said to Xuan Jue, "Come in and tell."

After talking, the two retreated back into the house, Qin Zhi supported Wu Qinyang, Xiao Yunhe turned back and closed the door.

Xuan Jue said: "Dad...Yang Yang..."

No need for Xuan Jue to say much, Qin Zhi quickly noticed something wrong with Wu Qinyang.He placed one hand on the back of Wu Qinyang's heart, took another look at the wound on his neck, and exchanged glances with Xiao Yunhe.

Xiao Yunhe said: "Almost."

Qin Zhi casually took out a piece of talisman paper from his pocket, and with his fingertips, a gleam of light appeared on the talisman paper, and the cinnabar imprint floated on the paper along with the gleam of light.Qin Zhi held the talisman paper between his fingers and flicked it lightly, weak sparks overflowed from the edge of the yellow talisman, and then burst into tiny flames with a "bang". When most of the talisman paper was burned, Qin Zhi put the remaining half Zhang Lian and Mars fed it into Wu Qinyang's mouth together.

The flames ignited on the talisman paper did not bring any burns to Wu Qinyang's mouth, but the stench came out with the green smoke from the burning talisman paper.Wu Qinyang frowned tightly, and after a while, he arched his body and vomited like a spasm in his stomach.

It was the ashes of the talisman paper fed by Qin Zhi before, but later it turned into dull and fine scales, like dust condensed into flakes, exuding a strong fishy smell.It wasn't until he couldn't vomit anymore that Wu Qinyang leaned on Qin Zhi again wearily.

Xiao Yunhe said: "Is it fish scales?"

Qin Zhi pulled the facial tissue on the table beside him and wiped Wu Qinyang's mouth, then replied to Xiao Yunhe, "It's fish scales."

Only then did Xuan Jue remember that the two of them were about to go out, so he asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yunhe said: "Yang Yang's school had an accident."

Xuan Jue originally thought that Xiao Yunhe was talking about a murder case, but soon realized that he should be referring to the ambulance that drove into the school, and quickly said, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yunhe said: "Several students were admitted to the hospital in an emergency, including the boyfriend of the deceased, who was the first person to discover the body. There is no way at the hospital. Your uncle Xu asked me and your father to go there. Same."

The boyfriend of the deceased was referring to Lin Jie. Xuan Jue couldn't figure out the connection with Wu Qinyang for a while, but at this moment Qin Zhi said: "Yang Yang should be fine, but this thing has three veins returning to Yin, I'm afraid it will take a long time." Rest for a few days before you can recover." Then he threw a piece of talisman paper to burn the fish scales that Wu Qinyang vomited just now, and then told Xuanjue: "Bury it with soil later, just in the yard, I will tell you Your mother will go to the hospital first, and call if there is something wrong."

Xuan Jue supported Wu Qinyang, and he was relieved when he felt that his body was no longer so hot.

Xiao Yunhe noticed the wound on his temple, and asked, "How did you do it?"

Xuan Jue said: "Accidentally chased after me on the way back...the car also..."

Xiao Yunhe said: "It's okay, go into the house with Yang Yang to rest, and call if you have something to do." Then he went out with Qin Zhi.

Xuan Jue helped Wu Qinyang back to the bedroom to lie down, then covered him with the quilt, and then went back to the entrance to clean up the ashes of the burned fish scales.
