Rain keeps falling.
The pea-sized raindrops kept hitting the ground, splashing water, which fell to the ground again and turned into transparent blisters.
The leaves were beaten lifeless by the sword-like raindrops, and only the sound of raindrops could be heard in the silence.
The sky was overcast with thunder, and the sky was as dark as late at night.
The rain hit the white jade stone array, making a crisp sound.
In front of the stone formation, a young man was kneeling.
The boy looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old. His black hair had been wetted by the rain and clung to his body. The rain kept dripping down his face.
His face was frighteningly pale, and there was even a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth.
The heavy rain in spring made people feel so cold, but the young man only wore a middle coat. The robe was protected in his arms. There seemed to be something in his arms, which was tightly covered by his robe.
I don’t know how long it took, but the rain seemed to slowly lighten up.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the white jade formation, and it slowly opened to both sides.
When the young man heard the noise, he suddenly looked up, with an expression of surprise on his face.
A woman's voice came from the stone formation: "I asked someone to take you through the poisonous forest because the rain was too heavy and I couldn't bear it. Why are you so stubborn and insisting on kneeling here?"
There was a faint sound of bells, and amid the patter of rain, it didn't sound so real.
Along with the ringing of the bell, a light sedan chair appeared in the young man's eyes. Four girls in elegant clothes carried the four corners of the sedan chair and landed silently in the center of the white jade formation. The wind in the rain blew by, the gauze around the sedan chair kept fluttering, and the bells on the top of the sedan chair rang even more unscrupulously.
When the young man heard this, he hugged her tighter, his robe seemed to move, and he stretched out a pale hand.
There was actually someone else in the young man's arms.
A girl with a more childish appearance. Because the boy took good care of her, there was only a little rain on the girl's face, but her lips turned an unnatural purple color.
"Senior, I have nothing to ask for, I just ask you to save her life." The young man seemed very cold, and there was a trace of trembling in his words, but he tried his best to keep himself calm.
"Looking at her, the cold air has entered her body and she is deeply poisoned. She is not easy to save." The woman in the sedan chuckled, "But you, at such a young age, can actually bring such a young child to the medicine hospital." Wang Gu, it shows that you have an extraordinary mind, but I’m afraid you’re all bruised and bruised, so it’s easier to save you and the price you pay is less.”
The young man shook his head without hesitation: "I know the rules of Yaowang Valley, but if I ask senior to help me, I am willing to pay for it with my life."
The veil kept fluttering in front of the eyes, and the young man's expression was somewhat unclear. The woman in the sedan looked thoughtfully at the young man kneeling in front of her, and said to herself: "These two children are really heartbreaking. .”
At some point, a woman in red appeared next to the sedan. She was covered with a veil, making it difficult to see her true face.
The person in the sedan smiled softly: "Hongzhuang, go and save that girl. I am very interested in this girl. As for the young man, you detoxify him and let him seek happiness."
"Yes." As soon as Hongzhuang finished speaking, her dress moved and she was in front of the young man in an instant, causing him to panic for a moment.
Hongzhuang suddenly stretched out her right hand and clamped the young man's jaw with two fingers. The exhausted young man had no ability to resist, and he opened his mouth after feeling pain.
Hongzhuang took out two pills from her arms with her left hand and stuffed them into the boy's mouth. She immediately turned her right hand into a palm, patted the boy's chin, and swallowed the pills involuntarily.
Before the boy could react, Hongzhuang reached out and picked up the girl in the boy's arms. With a move of her toes, she returned to the sedan, lifted the gauze and put the girl into the sedan.
"I will save her for you. One of the pills Hongzhuang and you took just now can detoxify your poisonous miasma forest, and the other one can help you repair your injuries. But from now on, you have nothing to do with her. Don't come looking for her." , if you want her to survive, just fulfill your promise."
There was a hint of pain in the young man's eyes, but he still bowed and said, "Thank you, senior. As long as she survives, I will abide by senior's rules and never see her again."
Hongzhuang raised her hand and waved, and the four girls in powerful outfits raised the sedan steadily again and disappeared from the young man's eyes. The white jade stone array began to rotate slowly again. The ringtone gradually disappeared into the distance.
*
"Valley Master," Hongzhuang glanced at the unconscious girl in the sedan. At this time, her outer coat had been taken off, revealing her young but delicate face, "When I met them outside the valley, I found someone was chasing them. , we have saved this little girl now, I am afraid that she will get into a lot of trouble."
The woman in the sedan stretched out her slender hand, slowly touched the girl's face, and smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, the moment you enter the Medicine King Valley, there will be no such person in the world."
The woman's voice was gentle and smooth, drifting farther and farther with the wind in the rainy night, like a long and tough rope, tightly tied to her head, being grabbed and pulled down hard.
***
The woman who had been taking a nap in front of the medicine table turned pale. She grabbed the edge of the stool with her pale hands and kept shaking. Her full strength made her already thin fingers look even more clearly defined.
"Valley Master, Valley Master."
Gu Jianghe felt that her chest and lungs were getting colder and colder, and the cold air kept pouring in. The cold breath made her feel breathless, and she suddenly started coughing.
Jiuxia suddenly unfolded the cloak in her hand, covered her body with Gu Jianghe, and wrapped her tightly.
Hong Zhuang, who came later, quickly took out the jade porcelain bottle in her arms, poured out a small brown-red pill inside, and put it to Gu Jianghe's lips. Although it was uncomfortable, it was a conditioned reflex. Jianghe obediently opened her mouth and allowed Hongzhuang to feed the pill into her mouth.
The cold enters the yin meridian, the coldness in the lungs is biting, and the disease penetrates into the bones. Once it attacks, the pain in the skull seems to be torn apart.
"It hurts so much, so cold."
A few weak words poured out of Gu Jianghe's mouth, so softly that it was almost hard to hear them clearly.
Hongzhuang put the jade porcelain bottle on the table, and then stuffed a purple gold hand stove into Gu Jianghe's hand. She felt a trace of warmth when her cold hands touched the warm hand stove.
Jiu Xia's hands exuded the fragrance of medicine. She had rubbed some herbs on them. She stood behind Gu Jianghe and gently pressed the acupuncture points on the back of her head. After a while, she finally poured out her words. Gu Jianghe spit it out and slowly opened his eyes.
"Valley Master, are you feeling better?" Hongzhuang squatted in front of Gu Jianghe. The table in front of her had been moved away at some point.
"It's okay, I'm just hurting you again." Gu Jianghe's face was a little pale from the pain, but he still tried hard to twitch the corners of his mouth, trying to squeeze out a smile.
"March in the valley is already more humid than outside. You have been wearing so little these past few days. How could your old illness not relapse?" Hongzhuang said reproachfully, although she was no different from Gu Jianghe. She was ten years old, but she had watched her grow from such a little girl to such a woman, and she had also seen with her own eyes how this old disease tortured this frail woman, and she couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"Be careful, I just dreamed of him again." Gu Jianghe's eyes were a little dim, and the figure of that young man was already engraved in his mind, and the pain could not go away.
"Valley Master." Hongzhuang looked at her with some worry. When the Valley Master of Miwu came back from rescuing Gu Jianghe, she was there. She even carried her back to the valley with her own hands, but the young man stumbled so hard. Leave. At that time, the Master of the Valley of Miaowu was unparalleled in splendor, but had an eccentric nature. Whether to save him or not depended on his mood, which made people helpless. "Master of the Miaowu Valley, she..."
"Sister Hongzhuang, I have never blamed Master for this matter. Master saved me and taught me medical skills. I am very grateful to her." Gu Jianghe let go of the purple gold hand stove in his right hand and held Hongzhuang. The palm of my hand felt a hint of heat from the hand stove.
"Sister Valley Master." Clear calls came from afar, accompanied by the sound of running.
Hongzhuang was worried about Gu Jianghe when she suddenly heard Yiyi's purring voice. She couldn't help but frowned and said a little worriedly: "This little girl is really getting more and more troubled."
Gu Jianghe rubbed Hongzhuang's hand and laughed dumbly: "Sister Hongzhuang, Yiyi is still young, don't get angry with her."
Yiyi ran into the gate panting, but carelessly she didn't seem to notice anything about Gu Jianghe. She ran to her side and reported the news: "Sister Valley Master, that Young Master Ranchen and his five brothers Let’s go together.”
"Gone?" Jiu Xia was also surprised, "The Valley Master was ready to treat his leg, why did he leave?"
After hearing the news, even Hongzhuang felt a little different: "Previously, regardless of life and death, I desperately broke into Yaowang Valley just to seek medical treatment. Now the poison has not been cured and the injuries have not been treated. It is really puzzling."
Gu Jianghe's face, which looked a little pale due to the pain just now, did not show any special expression. He seemed to have been thinking for a while and asked, "When did they leave."
"The owner of the valley had not left the room, so they went to look for Sister Qingyang. They were very determined to go, but Sister Qingyang couldn't resist, so she led them down the mountain."
"It's okay to go down the mountain," Hongzhuang interjected, "this person's injuries and poisons are extraordinary, and he has to spend a lot of effort to treat them. The weather in the valley has been changeable in recent times, so it's better for the owner to rest more. .”
"Let him go," Gu Jianghe said calmly without being surprised, "He has left one hundred thousand taels of silver and sunset flowers. If he is not cured, we will not lose."
"By the way, before they left, they left something behind, saying it was for Sister Valley Master." Yiyi slapped her head, as if she had just remembered it, and quickly took out a letter from her arms. Pass it to Gu Jianghe.
Putting the purple gold hand stove in his arms on the table beside him, Gu Jianghe took the letter from Yiyi's hand. When she took out the letterhead, a few words painted with iron and silver hooks jumped out on the paper: "Leave without saying goodbye, love is inevitable" Already, he was rescued by the owner of the valley and left a token to make up for the two hundred thousand taels of silver he owed in the future.
Only then did she realize that the envelope was too heavy for a letter, so she turned it over and tipped it over. With a "clang", a piece of crystal clear, silvery jade pendant fell from the envelope. , fell on Gu Jianghe's body. The moment his fingers touched the jade pendant, Gu Jianghe felt a hint of chill again. After hesitating for a while, he picked it up. The jade pendant lay quietly in my hand, and I just realized that the jade pendant was about the size of a palm, so clear that I could see the palm prints underneath.
"What a beautiful jade pendant." Hongzhuang and Jiuxia couldn't help but praise it when they saw it.
White tassels with light blue tassels were scattered messily on Gu Jianghe's wrist. But even in this transparent jade, there are traces of milky white silk, which are twisted and twisted, but naturally form a word.
"cloud?"
