Wu Quan's injury was more serious than Lin Qiye imagined.
He sat in the medical center and watched these figures setting his bones, applying medicine, and bandaging him. They were busy until dusk. When the old man at the head wiped his sweat and sat on the chair, Lin Qiye stepped forward.
"How is he doing?"
"This boy's injury is very strange. It doesn't look like an injury from an impact, nor does it look like an injury from a fight... I have already restored his bones, and have already applied medicine to the serious wounds. As long as he has enough training and can change the medicine regularly, You can recover after taking medicine for a period of time.”
"How long is a period of time?"
"It will take a hundred days to break the muscles and bones. With his current injury, he will have to stay in bed for at least half a year to recover."
Half a year
Hearing this answer, Lin Qiye frowned... If they stay in bed for half a year and take medicine to recuperate, doesn't that mean they have to stay here for half a year
No, he still doesn’t know why they came to this era, and he doesn’t know how to go back. There are too many mysteries before Lin Qiye now, and there are many things to do in modern times. How can he rest here for half a year
Lin Qiye would not be at ease if Wu Quan was left here alone. They had no money and no reliable person to take care of Wu Quan. It would be too dangerous to do so.
Just when Lin Qiye was struggling, an apprentice brought up a few packages of medicinal materials and carefully handed them to Lin Qiye.
The old man said tentatively: "Hero, I have cured this young man. These medicines are enough for him to take for a month. I have put the prescription inside. If you finish eating, take it to the pharmacy." Just grab some medicine, look...can we leave?"
Lin Qiye glanced at everyone. They all lowered their heads and looked a little scared.
"You guys go, I will stay here for one night and I will leave tomorrow." Lin Qiye stepped out of the way, "I will pay the money for this treatment in a few days. Don't alert the police... Uh. , the government, otherwise you know what the consequences will be."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Everyone's expressions finally relaxed, and they pushed the door open one after another. They glanced at the sky above their heads, their expressions changed slightly, and they hurried home.
"Why don't you leave?" Lin Qiye asked when seeing the old doctor still not leaving.
"Uh... this is Lao Chan's medical clinic. Lao Chan lives here."
He pointed to the side door of the medical center. There was a narrow courtyard inside, and behind it, there was a room.
Lin Qiye nodded, "You go ahead. He and I will sleep in the front hall tonight and won't disturb you."
"This good man." The old man who was treating Wu Quan was about to leave. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and said, "If you stay here for the night, be sure to lock the doors and windows. It's best not to light any candles, no matter what is happening outside." If there is any movement, don’t open the door..."
Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows, "Why?"
The old man was slightly startled, "Is this your first time coming to the northwest border?"
"...So be it."
"Didn't you encounter anything strange on the way here?" The old man frowned, "Now the demon stars are in the sky, the doomsday is coming, and the evil spirits are raging... If it is during the day, they will be more restrained, but at night, there is so much chaos outside. Their world is over!
People are dying in and outside the city these days. Hero, you are powerful and brave, but when you encounter those evil spirits, your strength may not be effective, so it is better to play it safe. "
Hearing these inexplicable words, Lin Qiye frowned and seemed a little confused.
As the sky gradually darkened, the old man picked up a lamp on the table, closed the side door of the front hall, and walked tremblingly toward the backyard.
boom-
As the door closed softly, the entire front hall of the medical center fell silent.
Lin Qiye walked to the open door of the medical center and looked around. The road that was still bustling during the day was now dead silent. Under the gloomy sky, no pedestrians could be seen anywhere. Both sides of the road The doors were closed, and even the windows were sealed. Night was approaching, but not a single candlelight shone out.
Lin Qiye knew that there was a curfew in ancient times, and there wouldn't be many people around at night, but the current scene was completely beyond the scope of what the curfew could explain.
"The demon star is flying in the sky, the end is about to fall, and evil spirits are raging?"
Lin Qiye murmured the words of the old man just now, and looked up. In the gradually darkening night sky, several red stars hung high, like scarlet eyes. Under their brilliance, the surroundings Ordinary stars have become dim.
"What is that?" Lin Qiye looked at these red stars, his brows getting tighter and tighter.
Lin Qiye had never seen red stars, and there were no such stars in the modern starry sky... What happened in this era
Lin Qiye looked at these red stars and had a bad premonition in his heart.
He was about to close the door and return to the house when he glanced around the corner of the street. In the ancient city that was gradually falling into darkness, there was only one restaurant that was still brightly lit.
"That's..." Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly.
…
"What?"
In the restaurant, the deputy general stood up and frowned at the county magistrate in front of him, "No black dog teeth?"
"Yeah, we've searched all over the city, but we can't find it!" The county magistrate said with a bitter face, and said in a low voice, "All the other menial jobs have been found and sent... But now this black dog can't be found. !”
“There’s not even a black dog in such a big city?”
"It was true that there were many in the past, but the recent situation, I believe the Marquis is also aware of it... evil spirits are rampant and eating people everywhere! It's good if people can survive. If someone keeps a black dog in the house, the sound of the dog barking at night will be heard. Did you attract evil spirits here
A few days ago, the people in the city voluntarily stewed all the dogs. Now, let alone our Xue County, even if you go to Bian County or even a larger place, it is difficult to find a black dog! "
After hearing these words, Huo Qubing, who was sitting in the center of the round table, frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
"Master Hou, it's really not that you are humble in your duties and don't do your best. I am really..."
"Okay, I understand, please step back." Huo Qubing interrupted without waiting for the county magistrate to continue crying.
Hearing these words, the county magistrate felt like he was being pardoned and quickly thanked him. Then he quickly left the restaurant with hundreds of soldiers behind him and rushed towards the county government office, as if he was afraid of being overtaken by something.
"Master Marquis, there are no black dog teeth... what should we do?" the deputy general sighed.
The female prisoner kneeling in the corner sneered:
"Since you can't find all the materials, why not let me go? Taking me with you will be a burden to you, isn't it?"
"Shut up! Be careful, I will kill you now!"
"Really? Then kill one and see?"
"you!!"
Snapped!
A soft sound interrupted the argument between the two. Huo Qubing put down the chopsticks in his hands, stood up slowly, walked to the window of the restaurant, and looked at the dead city shrouded in darkness.
His brows frowned more and more, "The number of them is getting more and more..."
