The county horse is a medicine jar

During the night when there was a gust of wind and rain, Lin Sitao was suddenly awakened by a nightmare while lying on the bed. When he woke up, he found that he was sweating profusely. He raised his head to drink the cup of cool tea, but he didn't put down the empty teacup for a long time, and just kept holding it tightly in his hand in a daze.

In the past 20 years, he has been plagued by nightmares almost every day. In his dreams, it is still the scorched earth stained red with blood, and the battlefield where the swords and swords are scattered all over the corpses.

He will never forget that day, when his father led him and his second brother to break out of the siege. In the melee, Lao soldiers swarmed like leeches in the tide, as if they could not be killed.

They fought from dark to dawn, and the soldiers beside him fell one by one. He swung his sword crazily with bloodshot eyes and killed anyone who rushed in front of him. The silver armor on his body was splashed with blood over and over again red.

He remembered that a white knife light flashed in front of his eyes, the blade was stained with blood, reflecting his blood-stained face with disheveled hair, and those scarlet and numb eyes. cut down.

At that moment, he didn't feel any pain. He instinctively swung his sword and stabbed the soldier in front of him to death. Before he could catch his breath or take a look at his left arm that had been chopped off, he heard a desperate and mournful cry from behind him. Voice.

"Big brother."

He suddenly turned around, and saw Lin Silue's pale and terrifying face, and the long sword piercing through his chest. Lin Silue looked at him, his desperate and unwilling eyes were staring, with a trace of panic and tears shining meaning.

This is the twin brother of his mother. When the long sword pierced Lin Silue's chest, he seemed to feel a sharp pain in his heart. He rushed over desperately, trying to hold Lin Silue who was about to fall into the cliff.

But it was only a little bit short, the hands that Lin Silue stretched out to him before he died, barely touched the back of his hand, leaving a warm bloodstain, and then fell into the raging river, and was instantly covered by the huge waves. engulf.

There is no dead body, no bones left.

Rao Baiju passed by, time flies, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, Lin Sishen, who was still in his mother's womb, has grown up, married a wife and started a family, but Lin Sitao still has not come out of that nightmare, his soul seems to be still lingering there. A piece of scorched earth, guarding Lin Silue's heroic spirit who died tragically.

No matter what, he would never forget Lin Silue's call "big brother" before he died, the last look he gave him, and the blood-stained hands stretched out to him.

It's just that those hands, in countless nightmares, have already turned into bony bones.

Lin Sitao was so immersed in the nightmare that he couldn't wake up, so much so that he crushed the teacup with one hand, and the shattered porcelain pierced into the skin to ooze blood, and he was awakened by the pain.

Thinking about being sleepless again tonight, Lin Silue put down the broken tiles in his hands, and walked to the window with heavy steps. He stretched out his hand and opened the wooden window, and the heavy rain poured into the house with the wind, wetting his whole body.

Lin Sitao stood in front of the window quietly looking out like a fool, his injured right palm was washed away by the rain, and the mottled thick blood was diluted by the rain and dripped down on his side.

Just when he lost his mind, a black shadow seemed to pass by the rain curtain in front of him. Under the light of the swaying lanterns and candles in the corridor, he jumped like a ghost among the eaves of the General's Mansion, and Lin Sitao's dim eyes burst out instantly. A ray of sharp light.

He snorted coldly, stretched out his right hand with his eyes downcast to the side, and only heard a crisp sword cry in the darkness, and the long sword hanging on the wall suddenly came out of its sheath and flew into his palm.

Lin Sitao's eyes were as sharp and bright as an eagle's. Holding his sword, he leaped into the rain, and chased after the shadow without looking back.

The black shadow seemed to be wandering around the General's Mansion aimlessly, never settling in any courtyard, just glanced around and then left again. Lin Sitao followed closely behind, and soon caught up with the black shadow.

Under the rain, Lin Sitao couldn't see clearly, he could only vaguely see that the man was wearing a black robe, covering his whole body under the black robe, not only could he not see his face clearly, he didn't even show an inch of skin.

The man in black also quickly found Lin Sitao who was chasing him, but he didn't stop, nor did he intend to fight Lin Sitao, he just wanted to get away and leave.

I don't know why this person came, how could Lin Sitao let him leave, he followed closely step by step, he originally wanted to take advantage of his knowledge of the general's mansion's topography to force the black shadow into the courtyard where the general lived in the mansion, Then he summoned his family to surround him and capture him alive.

But the man in black seemed to know the terrain of the General's Mansion very well. He almost threw Lin Sitao away several times. When he finally chased him to the back garden, the man in black suddenly stopped on the Moon Lane Pavilion. He was standing on a corner of the Moon Lane Pavilion. , turned around and looked at Lin Sitao with his hands behind his back.

Lin Sitao was afraid that he might be deceitful, so he also stopped in the back garden. He landed on the white wall, not far from the man in black.

Lin Sitao waved his sword and pointed, and said sharply, "Who are you?"

The sky was gloomy, and the man in black was hidden under his robes. Not to mention his face, he couldn't even see his figure clearly. He stood motionless on the cornice, staring at Lin Sitao with his deep eyes.

Seeing that the black-robed man neither opened his mouth nor fled, Lin Sitao raised his sword eyebrows, pointed his sword at the man and scolded him: "You know this is the mansion of General Weiyuan, trespassing on the mansion to stab you, you are so brave. "

In the rain, the man in black looked at Lin Sitao quietly, still without saying a word. He slowly looked away, looked sideways at the back garden for a few times, and then lowered his head as if in deep thought.

This person broke into the General's Mansion at night, and dared to stop provoking so arrogantly. He must have malicious intentions. A while ago, Lin Sishen was kidnapped and threatened outside the city, and now someone broke into the General's Mansion again. Take note of the terrain pattern of the General's Mansion, in short, he is not a good person.

Lin Sitao didn't give this person any more chances, he jumped up from the white wall with a little tiptoe, and rushed towards the black robed man with his sword in hand.

The black-robed man could tell Lin Sitao's ability at a glance. Although he was a man with a broken arm, his sword moves were extremely fierce, and he was a hidden master.

The man in black obviously didn't want to fight Lin Sitao. Seeing Lin Sitao stabbing him with a sword, he turned around and waved his sleeves, and floated down from the Moon Pavilion lightly. He landed on the lake, and his toes touched the On the lotus leaf, with a slight step, the lotus leaf swayed into the water and rippled. After bouncing, it was still slim and graceful, and the stems and leaves were not damaged.

Lin Sitao saw clearly from behind him, this scoundrel's lightness kung fu was exceptionally good, even the lightness kung fu of stepping on a leaf and splashing water, no one in the general's mansion could do it except him and Lin Sishen.

If such a master really wanted to assassinate his father at night, he might succeed, how could Lin Sitao let him escape, he jumped after him, and the two escaped from the general's mansion one after the other.

Lin Sitao chased the man in black all the way to the west of the city where civilians gathered, and when he saw a wooden house lit by candlelight, the man in black suddenly turned around, and shot two sharp arrows from his sleeves, directly attacking Lin Sitao behind him.

Lin Sitao blocked one of the sharp arrows with a horizontal sword, but the remaining one fell into his feet, and there was only a slight cracking sound, and just as Lin Sitao was about to exert all his strength to continue chasing, the eaves under his feet suddenly collapsed. In a moment of negligence, he fell into the wooden house under his feet.

In the house, a girl in commoner clothes was wiping the thin sweat from her forehead, turning a heavy stone mill with difficulty, grinding soybeans soaked in water, only to hear a loud noise above her head, a man fell from the sky and smashed the eaves, and she was in a panic. Still chic, standing firmly on the wooden table in the center of the room.

The girl screamed in fright, stopped what she was doing, and looked at the man who fell from the sky in front of her in shock.

Lin Sitao didn't have time to look around, so he jumped out of the broken eaves and continued to chase the man in black, but he jumped up on tiptoe, and his arm was suddenly pulled violently, and he fell on the wooden table in a funny and futile way. Jumped.

A crisp, pleasant and angry voice sounded in my ears: "Don't run away!"

Lin Sitao was stunned by the sudden angry reprimand, he looked down at the small white jade hand on his wrist, then moved his neck slightly, and met the eyes of a pretty and angry girl.

The girl grabbed Lin Sitao's hand without the slightest fear, two obsidian-like, bright and clear eyes were inlaid on her flushed face, she glared at Lin Sitao, and asked, "Where did you come from, madman? The eaves are smashed and you still want to run?"

Lin Sitao looked at the girl's angry face, then at the big hole in the top of her head, and the broken tiles scattered all over the floor, and hurriedly apologized in a low voice: "This girl... I'm really sorry, I still have important things to do. I can't stay here, and I will definitely compensate the girl for her loss when I come back from the business."

Hearing that the girl's eyes were wide open, she grabbed Lin Sitao's hand and refused to let go, and said firmly: "Who knows if you want to run away, you pay first, and then I let you go, otherwise I will take you away." See the officer."

Lin Sitao descended from the sky with a long sword in his hand, so he didn't look like someone easy to provoke, but the girl wasn't even the slightest bit afraid, instead she justly dragged Lin Sitao to demand compensation.Although he looks weak and delicate, his temperament is somewhat sturdy.

Although it was only delayed for a short while, the black-robed man probably disappeared long ago. Even if he chased him out at this time, it would be difficult to find him again. Lin Sitao sighed secretly and had to give up temporarily. Depressed, but it didn't implicate the girl who held him back.

Lin Sitao smiled apologetically, lowered his eyes and said, "I'm reckless, I've frightened the girl and damaged the house, I will definitely compensate you according to the price, the girl can tell the truth."

Seeing that Lin Sitao's attitude was not bad, the girl let go of Lin Sitao's hand in doubt. She walked around the room and then walked up to Lin Sitao. You, it is enough for you to pay ten taels of silver, and I will not take more from you, "

After finishing speaking, the girl raised her fingers and began to count: "It takes two taels of silver to repair the tiles. This wooden table is not strong at all. Now that you have stepped on it again, I am afraid it will be broken. It would be too expensive to change the wooden table." It costs one tael. The smashed jars in the house are full of pickles I personally pickled, and it costs two taels to sell it. In addition, this girl almost made you sick from fright, so I have to go see it later The doctor took the medicine, let’s count it as five taels, add up to ten taels, this girl is very affordable, and I didn’t take more money from you.”

Lin Sitao raised his eyes and looked in front of him. The little girl with her hips on her hips who was taking advantage of him couldn't help but raise her lips and smile. He jumped off the wooden table, leaned over and said slowly, "Naturally not much. Thank you for your generosity. Ten taels of silver will definitely be compensated to the girl."

After finishing speaking, Lin Sitao put down the long sword, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch his waist, but after groping for a while, he quickly remembered that he came out to chase the black-robed man in only his middle coat, so he didn't have silver taels on him.

The girl saw the hesitation and embarrassment on Lin Sitao's face, and hurriedly said: "You have no money? You don't want to renege on your debt, do you?"

As the eldest son of the general's mansion, when did Lin Sitao encounter such a scene, he couldn't help but blushed for a moment, he hesitated and withdrew his hand, lowered his head and said awkwardly: "Young lady...I went out in a hurry, and I didn't carry any silver with me. Why don't you stay in the lower residence and send someone to bring the money tomorrow, how about it?"

The girl proudly raised her chin and snorted. She looked at Lin Sitao's handsome and clear face, and said quietly, "Who knows if I let you go, you will come tomorrow."

Lin Sitao sighed helplessly, then waved his sleeves to pick up the saber on the table, held the hilt horizontally and said in a gentle voice: "Girl, how about this, leave the saber to the girl, and send someone to bring you money for redemption tomorrow." How about it?"

The girl hesitated a bit, and then snorted angrily: "It's just a sword, how much is it worth, maybe if you throw the sword to me, tomorrow you won't come at all."

Lin Sitao smiled again when he heard the words, he didn't expect that one day his sword would be disliked by others, he looked down at the cold sword in his hand, and said loudly: "My sword is the emperor... Taoist Huangshi The gift is a sword that cuts iron like mud, not to mention ten taels, even a thousand pieces of gold will not be worth it, leaving it to the girl is a written proof, tomorrow I will definitely send someone to send the silver taels."

The girl looked at Lin Sitao's saber on tiptoe in doubt: "Really?"

After questioning, he couldn't help stretching out his hand again, as if he wanted to touch the blade, to see if the sword was as mysterious and precious as Lin Sitao said.

Seeing that the girl was about to touch the blade, Lin Sitao's complexion changed, he quickly withdrew his hand and drew away the long sword, frowned and warned solemnly: "Be careful, don't touch it, this sword is very sharp."

The girl withdrew her hand and stared at Lin Sitao suspiciously, as if she regarded him as a liar.

Seeing that she didn't believe Lin Sitao, there was nothing he could do about it. When he was feeling depressed, he caught a glimpse of a big stone at the side out of the corner of his eye, and shot it without thinking. The stone mill cracked with a sound, and the incision fell to the ground neatly and heavily.

"Look, this sword cuts iron as quickly as it blows hair, and I didn't deceive the girl."

Lin Sitao withdrew his sword in satisfaction, turned his head to look at the girl in front of him with a chuckle, but after finishing speaking, he saw the girl in front of him with a dark face, glaring at him angrily.

This girl obviously had a delicate and lovely appearance, but when she was staring at her, Lin Sitao actually trembled, and he asked in a daze, "Young lady, what... what's wrong?"

The girl was glaring at Lin Sitao furiously, but for some reason, her eyes suddenly turned red again, and a layer of mist instantly gathered in her dark and beautiful eyes. She stomped her feet heavily, pointed at Lin Sitao and said with a trembling voice, "You bastard!" , you actually..."

Before she finished speaking, she turned around abruptly and squatted down, caressing the stone mill on the ground reluctantly, her eyes dimmed and she choked up in a low voice of grievance.

Lin Sitao, who was used to seeing bloody storms, saw the girl in front of him crying in anger, and became flustered at a loss. He walked up to the girl and said awkwardly, "Girl, you...don't cry."
