【Xue Xiao】Prisoner in the deserted city

Xiao Ning cried and said: "Father and Second Daddy did not lie to see Xiao Ning, but why did you come here... I don't know why Grandpa ignored me, did I do something wrong, why did Grandpa Refusing to wake up and talk to me... and blood, a lot of blood... woo woo woo..."

Xiao Xingchen remembered that when he asked Xiao Ning and his grandfather to leave, he promised her that he would visit her.

Xiao Xingchen felt sad, hugged the shrunken little body in his arms, gently stroked her hair, and comforted her softly: "I'm sorry, we are late. Be good, Xiao Ning, don't cry, Grandpa he Just fell asleep. Don't cry, don't cry."

Xiao Ning said: "Daddy...is what you said true? Grandpa just fell asleep."

Xiao Xingchen hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "En."

Xiao Ning couldn't speak in tune, sobbed and wept for a while, then left Xiao Xingchen's arms, wiping tears on the back of his hand twice.

She didn't know about parting or death, but she seemed to know that Xiao Xingchen was comforting him, or maybe she didn't know, but invisibly, it was the first time that her little heart felt so sad.

On the side, Doctor Zhang said: "Master Daoist, what's the matter with this child?"

Xiao Xingchen picked up some things about Xiao Ning, and said, "This child is lively and agile, but it's really pitiful to experience such an accident at such a young age. It's a pity that I really don't have the ability to take care of her here."

At that moment Xiao Xingchen saluted and said: "Doctor Zhang, I have an unfeeling request, can you place this child in your medical center and let her have a safe place?"

Doctor Zhang sighed, bowed his hands to Xiao Xingchen solemnly: "The Taoist priest has worked hard for days, prepared a good prescription to eliminate the plague, and saved the lives of the people in the city. If I am the benefactor of Yicheng, if I don't even ask for this If you don’t agree, then you are simply unworthy of being a human being. Please don’t worry, Taoist priest, I will definitely take good care of this child, teach her the method of medicine, and cultivate her thoughts of saving the world.”

Xiao Xingchen thanked Wanqian, bowed to the end, and said, "Thank you."

Xue Yang watched from the side, thinking that Xiao Xingchen would take Xiao Ning back, but he didn't expect to send him to the hospital.But after thinking about it for a while, it becomes clear: Yizhuang is remote and gloomy, and it is really not suitable for children to grow up, but the medical center is the best place.Xiao Xingchen was thoughtful.

Xue Yang interjected, "Old man Zhang, can you do it? With your medical skills, don't teach children wrong."

Xue Yang rolled his eyes, half teasing, half serious, and sharp.Doctor Zhang was ashamed, and repeatedly bowed his hands to Xue Yang: "Ordinary medical skills are still acceptable..."

Xiao Xingchen touched the top of Xiao Ning's head, took the straw hat from her hand, and put it on her head.Leaning down and supporting Xiao Ning's shoulders with both hands, he said, "Xiao Ning, would you like to live in the hospital with Dr. Zhang? There are a few younger brothers and sisters there, they will accompany you, you will not be alone."

Xiao Ning nodded: "Daddy treats Xiao Ning well, Xiao Ning trusts Daddy. Xiao Ning is willing!"

Although this medical clinic is not big, it is much more spacious and beautiful than Yizhuang and Xiaoning's own home.Xiao Ning was running from downstairs to upstairs, and then down again. After discussing what he had seen and heard with several doctors, Xiao Ning hugged Xiao Xingchen's leg as soon as he came out. , said: "It's a beautiful home, there are so many flowers and plants, Xiao Ning likes it so much!"

Xue Yang curled his lips, what's so interesting about the ruined medical hall, besides what you can say, Xiao Xingchen couldn't see it.This broken child.

Xue Yang pulled Xiao Ning away from Xiao Xingchen with one hand, and said, "Go and play by yourself, your father is tired, don't bother your father."

Xiao Ning pouted and said, "Daddy is not yours alone, why are you so domineering, Second Daddy?" Fu turned around and hugged Xue Yang, and said with a smile, "Second Daddy, don't be unhappy, Xiao Ning also likes Second Daddy !"

Xiao Ning hugged Xue Yang's arm and shook it, Xue Yang turned his head away with a disgusted expression.

A-Qing came down from upstairs, and seeing the scene in front of her, she was stunned for a moment.

When did this cold-blooded Xue Yang tolerate a child treating him like this?

A-Qing liked this little girl very much. The relationship between people was really wonderful. When she saw her, she felt like they hit it off. Maybe it was because they both liked to play and their tempers were compatible.Xiao Xingchen told her something about Xiao Ning. A-Qing felt that Xiao Xingchen was with Xue Yang every day before, and if he broke into such a child halfway, would it give the Taoist priest a little bit of comfort, even a little bit? also good.

Seeing Xue Yang grabbing Xiao Ning's collar, A-Qing was so angry that she ran over to pull Xiao Ning back without saying a word to Xue Yang.

Xiao Ning said cheerfully, "Sister A-Qing!"

Xiao Xingchen said, "Xiao Ning, go play with your sister Aqing."

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xiao Xingchen didn't reach the stairs until they were far away, and slowly walked upstairs step by step. Xue Yang followed him to the second floor.

Xiao Xingchen sat there tinkering with his medicines. The plague had already passed. These were some spare medicines and preventive medicines left for the medical center to prevent recurrence.

Xiao Xingchen is careful and always thinks things through.

Xue Yang and Xiao Xingchen have lived together for so many years, they can see every move, every word and deed, and they know their temperament and temperament like the palm of their hands, and they are so familiar that they cannot be more familiar.Xue Yang always disdained this kind of personality, and always deliberately laughed at him in his heart, thinking that he was too naive and the biggest fool in the world.

It's only now that I understand that his thoughts and those are just competing with himself.He longed for this person deep in his heart, but he couldn't believe it or admit it, so he could only maintain his proud and sensitive heart in that way.

They went through this epidemic together. He watched Xiao Xingchen busy, preparing medicines, curing diseases and saving lives. Unknowingly, those disdain and ridicule disappeared at some point, and he even got busy with him.

Xue Yang looked at Xiao Xingchen's figure with mixed emotions. At this moment, he couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, what thoughts he had.He felt happy, but also sad.He wanted to go over and say something to Xiao Xingchen, but he didn't know how to speak.

When had he hesitated like this?Xiao Ning's child said that Xiao Xingchen did not belong to him alone. Although it was just a child's unintentional sentence, it seemed to be clear in the dark.

At that time, Xue Yang had always felt this way. He was too afraid that Xiao Xingchen, who was "not himself", would leave him, so he became obsessed with it. They forced this person to be bound by their side, and they had to deceive themselves and others again and again, thinking that this would be all right.

Little did they know it was a big mistake.

Xue Yang's eyes were slightly hot, he closed his eyes, his nails almost pierced his palm.

He did too many things that shouldn't be done, but Xiao Xingchen's resolute sword still deviated from his heart; let him save people, feel the tenderness in the world, even when he was seriously ill and dying, Xiao Xingchen did not give up , supported his shoulders, let him lean in his arms, and fed the medicine into his mouth little by little, just like when he was picked up from the side of the road and brought back to treat him.

As the plague passed and time passed, the number of people on the streets of Yicheng gradually increased, businesses opened again, and people came and went in an endless stream.The dead are gone, and no matter what happens, life will go on.

It's just that the dew is heavy in late autumn, and the sky is getting colder.

Xue Yang is always a little unstable these days. He always stays by Xiao Xingchen's side intentionally or unintentionally. Many times he subconsciously grabs his hand without realizing it. Go, go to the other side.

He was alone since he was a child, and he has been struggling all the way. His heart is very sensitive and sharp. He stared blankly at his hand that was missing a finger, and was speechless for a long time.

The aftermath was over, but Xue Yang just changed his tricks and didn't want to leave the clinic. The most common reason was not to let Xiao Ning go, and he insisted on waiting for her to adapt to the new environment before leaving.

How could Xue Yang be so warm and kind, he was afraid that Xiao Xingchen would not go back to Yizhuang with him, so he took advantage of Xiao Xingchen's intolerance towards Xiao Ning.

On this day, a few people were eating in the small hall on the first floor, and Doctor Zhang went out to see a doctor and helped take care of the medical center by the way.While eating and eating, a person suddenly broke in.

The man was covered in dust and dirt, with unkempt hair and dark eyes. He knelt down on the ground before he came in, gasping for breath.

A clerk thought it was some kind of sick person, so he got up and poured him a glass of water. Before the man could take it, he hoarsely said, "I beg the doctor to give me medicine!!"

Everyone was stunned, the plague in Yicheng was over, how could someone come to ask for medicine.

Looking at his appearance, I thought that if he was from Yicheng, he would not be in such a mess, he should be an outsider.

Xiao Xingchen stood up, and said warmly, "Drink the water first, to moisten your throat."

The man was really thirsty, so he took a few big gulps with his water cup in his arms, wiped his mouth, and said, "This Taoist priest, I'm from the feudal city, and I'm in Lincheng. To be honest, righteousness a few days ago The plague that is prevalent in the city started from our outbreak!"

Xiao Xingchen shuddered, and said, "What's going on?"

The man said: "It's like this. In fact, this disease has always existed in our place. Every time the autumn and winter seasons change, it breeds. Fortunately, there is a medical center to protect us. Every year, the medicine is given to us, so this disease is terrible. , but it didn’t become popular. It’s just that this time it didn’t work, the medical center was not there, the plague broke out, and even spread to Yicheng. Please give me the medicine and bring it back to save them!”

It turned out that this was the case, before Xiao Xingchen wondered how many years ago Yicheng was safe and sound, this time the plague came suddenly, it was really strange, after hearing what this person said, he realized that the plague came from Lincheng.

Xiao Xingchen nodded and said, "There are a lot of medicines, and other than that, there are aftercare and prevention. Take them all for you. Take your time, why is the vital medical center gone?"

Regarding this incident, it was too terrifying, no one wanted to mention it, and because of the seriousness of the situation, the city was full of disturbances.

The man swallowed, and said: "It's weird to say, but it's really regrettable and infuriating. This medical center has always been safe and secure, helping the world and saving people, but it was in a catastrophe at the beginning of last spring. I don't know what happened. Xie Chong, all the doctors and nurses were slaughtered! The death was tragic, the heart was pierced by a sword, and everyone lost their tongues in their mouths!

Xiao Xingchen was stunned for a moment.

He seemed to have thought of something.

The man didn't see Xiao Xingchen's strangeness, and he couldn't stop once he opened his mouth, immersed in the narration: "It's terrible, it's terrible, it's said that when they were discovered, those people's corpses stink, and the wounds were still bubbling. Black smoke! No one dared to touch it, and later they had to move the corpse, and the black smoke disappeared after touching it!"

Xiao Xingchen took a step back, barely stopping.

Behind him, Xue Yang had already flashed forward with his bloody sword——
