After Lin Wanwan left, Su Jingqian still stood silently. He stared into the distance for a long time, and a touch of uncontrollable sadness gradually appeared in his silent eyes.
Only then did he release the energy and blood that had been suppressed in his throat, and then he heard a violent cough.
Zi Shu, who had been waiting not far away, heard the noise and immediately jumped down from the eaves. When he stepped forward to take a look, he realized that Su Jingqian's face had become pale and translucent, and there was still a trace of blood on his lips. Dark red bloodstains.
"Master, are you okay?" When Zi Shu saw this, his heart suddenly tightened, and he quickly supported him and said repeatedly: "I will call Zi Heng to come over and perform acupuncture."
Su Jingqian shook his head and was about to wipe away the blood stains under his lips, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of the tiny holes on the back of his hands that had been deliberately covered up. His eyes immediately froze and he said hoarsely: "No need, I'll do it soon." It’s snowing, you and Ziheng should send her back first.”
"But you-"
Before Zi Shu finished speaking, Su Jingqian raised his hand and interrupted, "It's okay, I can only feel at ease if you send her back."
When Zi Shu heard this, he immediately lowered his eyes, covering his eyes full of worry. How could he not understand his master's intention?
Both he and Zi Heng are weak in martial arts, and Zi Heng is even more proficient in medical skills. If there is any accident on the way, the two of them are also capable of protecting Miss Lin from danger. Even if there is an accident, Zi Heng can treat her in time. In this At this juncture, it is indeed most appropriate for them to escort Miss Lin.
However, the master has always been low-key, and this time he was even more cautious when going out. He and Zi Heng were the only two guards with him. Although there were a group of secret guards on Zhuangzi, depending on the master's intention, he probably wanted to go with them. If all those who escorted Miss Lin left, how would the master's safety be ensured?
If it were normal times, with the master's skills, even if he and Zi Heng join forces, they may not be able to take advantage. But the master's current physical condition may relapse at any time. Let alone taking action, it will be very difficult to mobilize the internal energy. If Zi Heng is not by his side to treat him, there will be someone with evil intentions towards the master at this time. , the consequences would be disastrous.
The more Zi Shu thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He was about to open his mouth to persuade, but Su Jingqian blocked his words again.
"I have made up my mind. There are some things I don't need to say anymore."
Su Jingqian's voice was a little weak, but the momentum in his tone did not diminish at all. He was still so tough and determined. Zi Shu could only swallow the words silently.
Looking at Su Jingqian's pale face, Zi Shu couldn't help but think of the scenes that happened on the boat on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. His heart sank, and those memories flooded into his mind again like a tide.
That night, Zi Shu and Zi Heng followed Su Jingqian's orders and lit thousands of sky lanterns on both sides of the water bank to pray for Lin Wanwan's birthday. Everything went smoothly and beautifully for them who stayed in the dark. , seeing the two masters chatting happily, I was filled with joy.
But later, they didn't know what the two talked about, but their expressions became worse and worse. Not long after, Lin Wanwan left with a cold face, while Su Jingqian suddenly fainted on the ground.
Zishu and Ziheng were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly used Qinggong to run towards him.
"master!"
Zi Shu hurriedly called out. Seeing that Su Jingqian didn't respond, he quickly lifted him up from the ground and leaned against him.
Su Jingqian's eyes were closed tightly, his face was pale and translucent, bloodless, like an exquisite white jade statue, without any life.
Zi Heng's face turned cold, and without saying a word, he directly put his hand on Su Jingqian's wrist vein.
Seeing Zi Heng's expression becoming more and more solemn, Zi Shu had a bad feeling in his heart and asked hurriedly: "Zi Heng, how is Master?"
Zi Heng frowned, shook his head, and said immediately: "Hel the master in, I will give him the acupuncture."
Zi Shu was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly became anxious. He couldn't help but asked sharply: "Acupuncture? How could it be so serious?! Didn't you say that the master's body is not suitable for acupuncture? Acupuncture is a last resort and should not be used as a last resort. ,no way--"
At this point, he suddenly stopped, and the eagerness in his words was like a string that was played too fast and suddenly broke.
Zi Shu clenched his fingers tightly, obviously already having the answer in his heart. He took a deep breath and looked at Zi Heng with heavy eyes. There was even a slight tremor in his voice, "What do you mean..."
"This is not the time to discuss these things. If we don't use acupuncture, I'm afraid even the Da Luo Immortal won't be able to save him!"
Zi Heng interrupted him coldly, then took out the medicine bottle on his body and fed a pill into Su Jingqian's mouth. His face, which was usually as calm as a breeze, could not help but reveal a rare look of anxiety. .
When Zi Shu heard this, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately carried Su Jing on his back and moved into the attic.
Zi Heng soon appeared next to them with a medicine box. He spread out the needles one by one with neat movements, twisted a silver needle, and roasted it back and forth on the candlelight twice. After touching the acupuncture point, he placed the silver needle The needle pierced Su Jingqian's body.
The sundial is moving gradually, and the light is flowing.
As Zi Heng inserted silver needles into his body one after another, the cold sweat on Su Jingqian's forehead became more and more until his whole body was covered with silver needles. The cold sweat had soaked his clothes, but he But his eyes were still closed, as if he was trapped in a nightmare with no sign of waking up.
Zi Shu frowned and paced back and forth, sometimes rubbing his hands and sometimes clenching his fists. He no longer knew how to place his hands. The restlessness in his heart was like thousands of ants crawling around on him.
He watched Su Jingqian's eyebrows tightening more and more, and his expression became miserable, but he couldn't do anything, and his heart felt like a huge stone was pressing down, and he was extremely painful.
When he thought that everything happened because of Lin Wanwan, Zishu couldn't help but complain: "I knew it would be bad for Master to be with Miss Lin. In the past, Master's illness would only occur at least once every six months, but since Miss Lin came here, After the treatment, in just a few months, it had already happened three times, and each time it was inseparable from her. Now it has reached the point where she needs acupuncture! If this continues, even if the master has a few lives, it will not be enough. She tosses!"
"I see you are getting more and more presumptuous!"
This was the critical moment, and the person applying the acupuncture had to hold his breath and concentrate. Zi Shu not only walked around here, but also said such words. Zi Heng couldn't bear it anymore and scolded him with a cold face.
"My master is still in pain, and you still have the heart to complain here. Have you ever thought about why my master has taken such desperate risks for so many years? He has sacrificed so much to get to where he is today. Why? Don't you think so?" Don’t you understand yet?”
Zi Shu was startled when he heard this, and his eyes slowly dropped.
Of course he understands. Over the years, they have watched their master fight through the bloody storm step by step, how could they not understand? However, when he thought about it...he felt unhappy for his master.
Zi Heng calmed his mind and inserted the last silver needle into Su Jingqian's acupuncture point, then slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
He raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face, looked at Zi Shu with a heavy expression, and sighed softly: "I know what you are thinking, but now all we can do is stay by the master's side and fulfill his wish. As for whether it is worth it or not, the master will make his own decision in his mind."
Zi Shu's expression darkened, he was silent for a while, and finally nodded.
