King's Landing [Rebirth]

The first ray of sunlight in the morning leaked in through the gaps in the abandoned house and fell on Mei Zhenghan's eyelashes, which were as long as butterfly wings and cast a small shadow.Afterwards, the slender eyelashes spread like a butterfly spreading its wings.Mei Zhenghan woke up from his sleep. This was the most peaceful sleep he had slept in for many days, and he almost forgot where he was.

The sun was a bit dazzling, he raised his hand to cover it, and the clothes on his body slid down.Mei Zhenghan lowered his head, picked up his clothes, and what happened last night came back into the basket, he woke up suddenly, and the remaining sleepiness was gone.

There was no other person in the room. If it weren't for this dress, Mei Zhenghan would have suspected that everything about last night was his imagination.He stood up from the ground and looked out through the broken window.As the twilight fades away, the abandoned house also reveals its true colors around it.

Outside is a small courtyard with luxuriant grass and withered yellow.The bluestone boards are covered with moss, and it can be seen that the house has been abandoned for a long time.When the year is not good, people often abandon their houses and leave their hometowns. This kind of abandoned houses is not uncommon in the county.

Mei Zhenghan sighed, every time he encountered such a thing, he couldn't help feeling emotional.Over the years, the world has become more and more difficult.When Jiang Yi was there, he often mentioned the peaceful and prosperous times in the past, and was filled with righteous indignation at the current corrupt officials.Mei Zhenghan laughed that fortunately he was not an official, otherwise he would go to the palace to die in order to show his ambition.

And every time at this time, Jiang Yi would look at Mei Zhenghan with a solemn expression, sighed persistently, and muttered in his mouth: "What's so good about being an official? What's so good about eating the emperor's food? I'm not happy to be the emperor that day. , the whole family will pay for it.”

Jiang Yi kept repeating these words over and over in his nagging, never finding new tricks.

For so many years in the Jiang family, Mei Zhenghan never understood why Jiang Yi had such a strong resistance to officials.When he mentioned being an official, he often hated iron for being weak, as if something had happened that made him hate officials deeply.But no matter how much Mei Zhenghan questioned and tried, he was like a gourd sawing its mouth, refusing to say a word.

If Mei Zhenghan got tired of asking, he would use words from the play to fool him.At first, Mei Zhenghan was young and couldn't tell good or bad.Later, Mei Zhenghan was known for his age, so these jokes couldn't fool him.

But correspondingly, Mei Zhenghan learned to be good, and stopped asking him about these things.

At that time, what Mei Zhenghan thought was that Jiang Yi was bored that day, maybe he said it himself, and it was useless to ask him.But he didn't expect that there were some things that Jiang Yi wouldn't say even when he went underground.

The sunlight coming in from outside is a bit warm, making people feel lazy.Mei Zhenghan put away her depressed thoughts, folded Liang Jian's clothes and put them on the table.

He still has things to do, he can't sit here and wait for death.If Liang Jian came back and saw the clothes, she probably knew he was gone, and hoped he would not be too angry.

There is a huge crowd, if there is a chance to meet again in the future, he will definitely pour wine for them and make amends.

It's just that Mei Zhenghan didn't expect that Liang Jian, who drove back, blocked him before he could get out of the abandoned house.

"Where are you going?" Liang Jian, who opened the door and came in, collided with Mei Zhenghan, who was about to climb over the wall. Liang Jian was carrying a package in his hand. After asking a question, he turned around and closed the door, and then looked at Mei Zhenghan on the wall and said: " Don't tell me the scenery on the wall is good, you get up early in the morning to see the scenery."

Mei Zhenghan sat on the wall, scratched his head in embarrassment, jumped off the wall in embarrassment, and muttered, "I thought you were gone."

Liang Jian glanced at him, and didn't expose his idea of ​​leaving without saying goodbye, but said: "Go into the house, the government officials are patrolling outside now, it's not safe."

Mei Zhenghan nodded, followed Liang Jian consciously, and strangled his little thoughts of leaving in the cradle.

The location of the abandoned house is very good, the sun is abundant in the morning, and the light in the house is bright.

Liang Jian put the package on the table, opened it, and took out the contents.Mei Zhenghan looked at the table, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

Liang Jian brought some dry food and medicine.He pushed the dry food in front of Mei Zhenghan, let Mei Zhenghan sit down and said: "This is for you. You have injuries on your body. I didn't bring you anything greasy. Eat it and take off your clothes by the way. Give you medicine. Running around with injuries all over your body, do you really think that you are iron?"

After tossing and tossing for half the night yesterday, Mei Zhenghan was indeed hungry at the moment, but he was not polite to Liang Jian.He just heard Liang Jianjian apply the medicine to him, and he reacted a bit. He quickly grabbed his clothes and said, "I'll do the medicine myself after I finish eating. I don't bother you."

Liang Jian was amused by him, and said, "You're not a big girl, so what?"

Mei Zhenghan paused for a moment before saying, "I'm afraid I'll scare you."

After finishing speaking, Mei Zhenghan put down the steamed buns in his hands, freed his hands to untie his clothes, and exposed his upper body.Under the bright light, his back was a strange crimson red, and there were bulging meridian-like things wriggling under the skin, forming a straight line along his spine.Compared with this thing, the injuries on other parts of his body are not so conspicuous.

The smile on Liang Jian's face froze in an instant. Last night, he felt uncomfortable just looking at the scars on the front. He never thought that there would be such a thing on Mei Zhenghan's back. His eyes instantly turned red, and the murderous aura in his heart seemed to boil water, brewing in the chest.

Seeing that Liang Jian hadn't said anything for a long time, Mei Zhenghan was about to pull up his clothes.Liang Jian reached out to stop him, hesitated for a while, and then reached out to touch Mei Zhenghan's back.

Liang Jian's fingers were a little cold. His body temperature was always lower than ordinary people's, and his hands felt cold in autumn and winter.Mei Zhenghan shrank from the cold, his muscles tensed up, and the meridian-like lines became clearer.

"This is a voodoo technique in western Yunnan. When I escaped from the government, I met a voodoo master and was put into a voodoo." Mei Zhenghan explained: "I don't know much about voodoo techniques, and I don't know what this thing needs. How to get rid of it. Fortunately, apart from the scary appearance, there are no other conditions for the time being."

Western Yunnan is close to the border area, and there is a small country nearby that lives on Gu.When the fortunes of the country were prosperous, there were business contacts with small countries, and the Gu art from there was gradually passed on, and a new school of Gu art was born in western Yunnan.

A few years ago, the local county magistrate was assassinated, but he was lucky enough to avoid it.In order to save the dog's life, he specially paid for a Gu master to enter the mansion.When Mei Zhenghan went to kill the man, the Gu master didn't show up, he thought that guy ran away, but he didn't expect that he was waiting for him to make a dirty trick on the way.

Mei Zhenghan didn't know this Gu, but Liang Jian did.Because the small country in the previous life also took advantage of the chaos and invaded with troops, wanting to get a share of the pie.That country's national strength is not strong, but because of the endless emergence of various poisonous poisons, it is very difficult.Liang Jian was ordered to wipe out their invading army and gather a group of Gu masters to help.

Some of them have used this Gu poison - Silkworm Heart Gu.

The incubation period of this Gu is as long as half a month, and the back of the person affected by the Gu will be red from the beginning, silkworm threads will appear, and the wound will heal slowly.Half a month later, the silkworm Gu matured and would spit out toxins, making the whole body stiff and the seven orifices bleeding to death.

"How long have you been under the Gu?" Liang Jian asked, the solution to this Gu is a bit complicated, and it will seriously damage the vitality of the person who has been infected, so it is not suitable to solve it for Mei Zhenghan now.

Mei Zhenghan thought for a while and said, "Today is the sixth day, why, do you know this Gu?"

"Well," Liang Jian nodded, and put her hand on Mei Zhenghan's shoulder, making him turn around to face her, exposing his injury to the sun: "This Gu is called Silkworm Heart Gu, and the incubation period is half a month. Those affected by the gu will not experience any discomfort within half a month... Except for injured people, such as you, the healing of the wound will become slow, and if it is not handled properly, the healing will be even slower."

Mei Zhenghan was still holding a half-bitten steamed bun in his hand, so he was caught off guard and met Liang Jian's face, and he swallowed the steamed bun with difficulty to avoid being too excited to smear Liang Jian's face.

Last night when the light was dim, people looked yellow. Now that the sky is bright and bright, Mei Zhenghan realized that Liang Jian looks really good-looking.The face is as white as jade, the lips are red and the teeth are white, the eyebrows are like ink painting, and the eyes are like cold stars.He lowered his head and carefully helped Mei Zhenghan clean up the messy wounds. His expression was serious and his eyes were dark, like a vortex in a river, pulling people into it accidentally.

Mei Zhenghan couldn't help but want to touch his little heart. He grew up so big and traveled around for four or five years. Apart from his own face, the most beautiful person he had ever seen was Jiang Shengxue.But now, seeing Liang Jian, he felt that his definition of good-looking had to be changed.

Jiang Shengxue is good-looking, she is a picturesque beauty, with pen and ink on her eyebrows and eyes.And Liang Jian's good looks are the result of the immortal who enters the mortal world, with a frown and a smile, alienated and cold, so that there is no profanity on the face, but the thoughts are tossed and turned in the heart.

"Hiss, it hurts." Mei Zhenghan looked too engrossed, if it wasn't for the tingling pain in his abdomen, he would probably still be silent in his own world.

Liang Jian glanced at him, thinking that it was right to be in pain.He kindly cleaned the wound for someone, but that person was staring at him, wondering where he was going.

Mei Zhenghan burst into tears in pain, thinking whether Liang Jian was really slanderous, or because she was dissatisfied with her blasphemy with her eyes just now.

"That's right, can you solve the Silkworm Heart Gu you mentioned?"

Mei Zhenghan's eyes were full of tears, Liang Jian couldn't bear it after all, and the movements of his hands became gentler.The stinging pain on the wound eased, and Mei Zhenghan's attention was not on it, and when she was distracted, she caught her thoughts in time and asked about Gu.

Liang Jian said: "Yes, but after you get rid of the Gu, you need to rest, so it's not suitable to solve it for you now."

"..." Mei Zhenghan thought Liang Jian's words twice in his mind, looked at his calm face, and tentatively asked: "You mean that you will follow me in a short time?"

"If you don't mind, you can let me follow you all the time. Anyway, I'm alone, floating like duckweed, and I have nowhere to go." Liang Jian smiled calmly. He really hoped that Mei Zhenghan would keep him.

The speaker didn't care about the listener, and Mei Zhenghan was touched by the sentence of being alone. He couldn't help but think of his current experience, and said, "I'm homeless like you, so don't dislike anyone. After this incident, if you Don't mind, we will become brothers and wander the rivers and lakes together."

Be brothers?Liang Jian looked at the person in front of him, and instead of readily agreeing, she gave him a meaningful smile.

I want to worship heaven and earth with you more than being brothers.

Liang Jian hid her thoughts and did not reveal them.

"Okay, the wound has been cleaned up. You've finished eating too, now let's talk about saving lives."

In order to be able to wait and see in the Jiang family, the people from the government office not only surrounded the Jiang family on the third and outer floors, but also restricted Jiang Shengxue's personal freedom.Now Jiang Shengxue can't go anywhere except the mourning hall.The reason Mei Zhenghan never left the county was also because he wanted to leave with Jiang Shengxue.

Jiang Yi was an old man, and he loved Jiang Shengxue and Mei Zhenghan very much. Mrs. Jiang passed away early.Now Jiang Shengxue only has Mei Zhenghan as a family member. If Mei Zhenghan doesn't take her away, she will die if she stays here.

But the biggest trouble now is how to lure away the government officials and bring Jiang Shengxue out of Jiang's house.

"Is your master's coffin still in the mourning hall and not buried?" Liang Jian remembered that when he looked at Jiang's house from the roof yesterday, he vaguely saw the coffin still parked on the altar.

Mei Zhenghan nodded: "The yamen doesn't even let Sheng Xue out of the door, so naturally they won't let my master's coffin be buried."

"Although the temperature in autumn is not high, the level of decay of the corpse will not be fast, but it is not a solution to stop it for too long. Your neighbors should always look down on this kind of thing. I think we can think of a way from them."

"I've already caused enough trouble for the neighbors, so don't drag them with this kind of thing." Mei Zhenghan somewhat disapproved of Liang Jian's actions. If the neighbors offered to help, the son of the county magistrate would definitely be angry when they left.

"You think too much. I don't want them to help you, but I want them to help you bury your master." Liang Jian said with a smile: "Your master will be buried in the grave, and Jiang Shengxue, as a daughter, must show her filial piety in front of the grave. People outside the city are more likely to escape."

The city is full of the government's eyeliner, even if Mei Zhenghan takes Jiang Shengxue out of Jiang's house, there is no way to take her out of the city.Even with bad luck, both of them will become fish in the Yamen's net.

But if you are outside the city, the situation is different.

Mei Zhenghan thought about this method and found it feasible.But how do they ask their neighbors for help without fearing that they will incur reprisals?

"The law does not blame the public, and the officials do not provoke the anger of the people. The situation in the city is unclear now. It seems that most of the power is in the hands of the county magistrate's son, but a small part is still active to make trouble. If large-scale public resentment is caused at this time, The county magistrate will delay the appointment. So the government knows that someone will help you, but they dare not expand the matter, and only dare to restrict Jiang Shengxue alone."

Liang Jian had contact with this kind of thing in his previous life, so he knew more about this situation than Mei Zhenghan.

When the county magistrate is appointed, he has to go through an assessment period. If the assessment period fails to meet the standards, he will be replaced or the appointment will be delayed.The county magistrate died for five days, so the situation must have been reported to the county. Basically, the county magistrate's son is now in the assessment period.Even if he is an elm-headed man who wants to act recklessly, the people around him will not allow him to act recklessly.At any rate, this right must be obtained before the county can be turned into a doctor's property.

"Obviously I am the one who kills people and eliminates harm for the people. But why do I have a subtle sense of helping the evildoers when I hear you say that?" Mei Zhenghan didn't know much about the affairs of the government. Jianghu atmosphere.

The way people in Jianghu deal with things is often simple and rude, and they don't have so many twists and turns.

The county magistrates in their city were not corrupt for a day or two, and the people complained a lot, so even if he killed him, Mei Zhenghan didn't feel any guilt.

It's just that he thought a little simple at first, thinking that if the county magistrate died, it would be good to have a new one, and it would also do a good deed for the people.

But now that Liang Jian told him that nothing had changed, he felt a little complicated.

Liang Jian couldn't bear to see him lose, and comforted him: "It's true, some things are rotten from head to toe, and you want to change, unless you smash it up and rebuild it from the rubble."

Mei Zhenghan was taken aback for a moment, he understood Liang Jian's words unexpectedly, and looked at him in astonishment.

At this moment, Mei Zhenghan had an inexplicable intuition. He felt that Liang Jian was not really wandering and helpless, but was wandering the world for impossible things.
