The summer nights are sultry and long. Under the endless sky as far as the eye can see, only a few pedestrians rushing past at night are scattered like stars in the night sky.
In Yunzhong City at night, apart from the dim lights hanging on the streets, there is only the sound of the watchman walking by.
Xian Lin was a little anxious on the city wall, his eyes still looking into the night in the distance, not even daring to blink for fear of missing something.
The disciple who was on duty at the city wall beside him didn't dare to say anything, but he couldn't help but look into the distance, trying to see something clearly.
The torch sizzled in the hands of the night watch disciples, and not even the sound of the summer insects could be heard.
Suddenly, the disciple who was keeping watch felt a shadow moving in the night before his eyes.
"Someone."
Suddenly there was some commotion on the city wall.
In the night, a man in brocade robes walked slowly from a distance.
He walked very slowly and seemed to be holding something in his arms.
"It's the city lord." Xian Lin whispered, "Open the city gate quickly." He turned around and walked down.
With a loud "boom", the heavy stone gate was slowly opened, and Xian Lin quickly walked out of the city gate.
As Qiu Mo got closer and closer, Xian Lin discovered that he was actually holding a child in his arms.
"City Lord, this?" Xian Lin was a little surprised.
Under the night, only the candlelight on the city wall shone faintly on the face of the child in Qiu Moyuan's arms. That face was so pale that it made people feel distressed.
"I found him in the grass at the Yellow River ferry. He was still having a fever."
Xian Lin quickly took the child from Qiu Moyuan's hand, and as expected, he felt unusually hot wherever his skin touched.
"I'll take him to Dr. Chen right away."
When the heavy city gate closed again, Xian Lin had already performed Qinggong with his children, but he arrived at Dr. Chen's residence in an instant.
Dr. Chen, whose sleep was disturbed by Xian Lin's rapid knock on the door, got up and put on his clothes. He held a candle and opened the door cursingly: "You brat, why are you smoking in the middle of the night?"
The moment he opened the door, the child in Xian Lin's arms stopped abruptly.
"Doctor Chen, the city lord brought back an injured child. He seems to have been running a fever. Please take a look at him." Xian Lin said anxiously.
Doctor Chen quickly stepped aside: "Quick, put him on the bed."
Xian Lin put the child in his arms on the bed and lifted up the cloak that was wrapped around him. Soaked in dark red blood.
What kind of person could do such a cruel thing to a child?
Doctor Chen's expression also changed slightly, and he immediately touched his bloody knees with his left hand.
"Doctor Chen, how is this child?"
Qiu Moyuan didn't know when he appeared behind the two of them. Doctor Chen turned around when he heard the sound and immediately wanted to clasp his fists and salute, but was stopped by Qiu Moyuan: "Don't give false gifts, it's more important to save people."
"The knees are weak and weak. They must have been broken by a master." As he said this, Dr. Chen reached out to touch the wrist of the person on the bed, but within a few seconds, Dr. Chen's expression changed drastically and he retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted.
"Liangxinmian. What he was poisoned by was actually the poison of Liangxinmian."
At this time, the expression on Qiu Moyuan's face also changed color.
Xian Lin didn't know what love was, but seeing the drastic change in Dr. Chen's face, he knew it must be something bad: "Doctor Chen, is it difficult to detoxify his poison?"
Doctor Chen sighed. The clothes he was wearing fell to the ground at some point, and he didn't care.
"Two Hearts are the most yin poison, and they need to be cultivated with the blood of a person's heart. City Lord, I'm afraid this kid has a very special status. If I keep him here, I'm afraid it will bring disaster."
"It doesn't matter," Qiu Moyuan patted Dr. Chen on the shoulder, "Just see if he can be saved."
"I'm not good at studying, and I can't do anything because of the poison in my heart. For now, let's try our best to save his life."
