Ye Hu and Shen Changge carefully searched every corner of the teahouse, but never found any clues about Qingxuan, so they had no choice but to hope that Qingxuan had returned home.
But when the two returned to the small courtyard, they found that there was no trace of Qingxuan at home, and they couldn't help but be disappointed.
The two went out to search again, and Yang Yi also mobilized the entire patrol room. However, after searching for several days, Qingxuan seemed to have disappeared from the world, and there was no trace.
Seeing that the vacation given by Shen He was almost over and there was still no news, Ye Hu couldn't help but feel anxious. Seeing that he hadn't eaten all day, Shen Changge forced him to eat something first and then look for it together.
The two found a nearby noodle shop and had a simple meal of two bowls of noodles. When they were about to leave, they saw a six or seven-year-old girl under the table secretly putting her hand on Shen Changge's wallet after paying for it.
Ye Hu was upset when he saw this girl doing such a theft at such a young age. He couldn't help but yelled and threw his chopsticks at the little girl.
The little girl was hit on the cheek by one of the chopsticks, and blood immediately overflowed. However, the little girl did not cry. It seemed that being beaten and scolded was a common thing. Seeing her like this, Ye Hu immediately regretted that he had taken too harsh a blow. , hurriedly walked over to help the little girl up and said, "How can you do such an unbearable thing at such a young age?"
Shen Changge saw that his money bag was still held in the hands of the little girl, and he understood. He saw that the little girl was only six or seven years old. Her cheeks were swollen and there were some blood stains, but she still kept biting her. He pursed his lips without saying a word, then sighed: "Give it back to me. I'll let you go this time. I won't let you off lightly next time."
It took the little girl a long time to realize that these two people were different from those before. They had no intention of continuing to beat and scold her, and they wanted to let her go. But then she thought about it, her brother was in urgent need of money to save his life. If he still came back empty-handed today, he would I'm afraid I won't be able to survive tonight.
Suddenly, she felt sad, and tears flowed out of her big black and white eyes like broken beads, but she never made any sound.
Compared with Shen Changge's unconventional attitude, Ye Hu understood the hardships of the lower class and couldn't help but sympathize with him. He took out a handful of money from his body and handed it to the little girl and said, "Take it!"
When Shen Changge saw this, he couldn't help frowning and said to Ye Hudao, "You are helping the evildoer by doing this. It will only make her do worse in the future. You should understand the principle of stealing needles when you are young and stealing cattle when you are big."
"Chang Ge, have you ever been really hungry?" Ye Hu suddenly asked.
"What?" Shen Changge didn't react for a moment. After a moment's thought, he understood what he meant and stopped talking.
At this time, the little girl just held the sling of money in a daze, and murmured: "This is the money given to my brother by my kind sister. My brother was beaten half to death by those bastards because of this, and now I am afraid he will not survive."
"What kind sister? Has anyone else given you the same money?" Ye Hu understood the key point.
The copper coins at home were all made by Qingxuan himself, who made ten knots and tied them together. Qingxuan was skillful and the knots he made were very beautiful. As for this little girl, could it be that his brother had seen Qingxuan.
"Take us to see your brother!" Ye Hu said urgently.
The little girl was puzzled and stared blankly at the two equally handsome brothers in front of her, digesting his words as to why she wanted to see his brother.
"I know medical skills, take me to see your brother." Shen Changge said in a different way.
The little girl nodded when she heard this.
In a short while, several people had arrived at a dilapidated thatched house. Ye Hu, who had been born in poverty since childhood, couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the scene in the house, let alone Shen Changge, who had lived in fine clothes since childhood.
I saw that there was no furniture in this thatched house, and there was a big hole in the roof. The thatch in the corners that had been wet from the rain a few days ago had not yet dried, and the whole house was filled with an unpleasant musty smell. In the middle, two stones were used to support half a pot, and there was some rice porridge in it that was no different from water.
Under a pile of extremely moist thatch, a thin and frail eighty-nine-year-old boy huddled. He heard someone coming in and called out hurriedly: "Ayao, is that you?"
When the little girl heard the words, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed her brother's hand: "Brother, you're awake. How are you? Are you hungry? I'll serve you some porridge."
The little boy in the haystack was about to nod, but in the blink of an eye he saw his sister's swollen cheeks. His face instantly filled with anger, he forced himself to sit up and said, "Why did you get beaten again? Who hit you? Tell your brother, and he will do it for you." You take the lead."
Then he seemed to feel sad thinking about his current situation, and murmured: "I'm useless, I can't protect you. I've told you that the richer the people, the more ruthless they are...the more ruthless they are. You... don't go... to provoke them."
After finishing speaking, the little boy seemed to have no strength anymore. He fell down again and gasped. I don't know whether it was because of anger or sadness, but he stopped talking.
As if he suddenly thought of something important, he sat up again and asked his sister: "Have you ever gone to the family in the big locust tree in the city? Have you ever... told them that the kind-hearted sister... was arrested? What happened to... Acacia Gate?"
The little girl was immediately at a loss when she heard this. Her brother had told her a lot, but she still forgot all about it. Now that she only focused on her brother, how could she have time to care about other people's affairs? Only her brother would do this. He's almost dying, and he's still thinking about other people's affairs.
When Ye Hu and Shen Changge heard the little boy's words, they were shocked at the same time. It turned out that this little boy had really seen Qingxuan.
It was night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Su Changfeng, the new head of the Xiangsi Sect, known as Mr. Changfeng, came alone to the Tianyan Pavilion where the Xiangsi Sect was used to deliver news. Immediately, a subordinate handed him a secret letter. Zhang Zhan only took one look, and his usually calm face suddenly changed in an instant.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, narrowed his long and narrow eyes, and thought to himself: "This world is really small. I didn't expect that this cleanup of the family for the whole world to see would lead to such unexpected gains. Medical Immortal, Ye Hu ? It’s getting more and more interesting!”
Then he turned around and immediately put away his emotions, and asked Su Chang, who was still kneeling on the ground and the newly promoted Pavilion Master of Xiangsimen Tianyan Pavilion, Su Chang: "Has Tuoba An caused any trouble recently?"
Su Chang didn't seem to expect that the sect leader would suddenly ask about Tuoba An. He lowered his head and thought for a while before returning: "Sect Master Bing, Tuoba An has been suppressed by the court since the defeat of Yongji Pass, and he has been in decline ever since. , causing trouble everywhere. Not long ago, he had a conflict with Uncle Xiao Guo in Hualou due to verbal conflict and beat him half to death. Concubine Yan reported him to Wang Jun. Wang Jun was furious and fired him on the spot. military power."
Su Changfeng smiled lightly when he heard this and said: "Compared with his brother Tuoba Yu, this Tuoba An is really far behind. After Tuoba Yu died, Tuoba An has now lost his military power. It seems that the Tuoba family There is nothing to fear from now on. Now that most of the military power in the court is in the hands of the Crown Prince, I am afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince will also see that Tuoba An is no longer useful and will give up his carriage to protect the commander."
Su Chang replied: "At first, the king not only wanted to remove Tuoba An's military power, but also wanted his life. If the prince hadn't protected him, Tuoba An might have been killed."
Su Changfeng sneered and said: "It's just a plan by the king and the prince. They just beat a younger brother who has no favorite concubines and is useless. Removing military power is already a heavy punishment, so how can he still be killed? This is The Tuoba family has gone through three dynasties and is entangled in the dynasty. If the king does this, he will lose the righteousness of the king and his ministers. I am afraid that the king will see that Tuoba An cannot be reused and want to find another supporter for the prince. The so-called prince's plea is just Just to win people’s hearts!”
But he sighed in his heart: "My father is really worried about this mediocre elder brother!"
"Keep talking!" Su Changfeng recovered his thoughts and said calmly to Su Chang.
"After that, Tuoba An listened to someone's instigation and wanted to avenge his brother Tuoba Yu. Half a month ago, he and his sister Tuoba Ya went to Yongzhou City with dozens of soldiers to ambush the northern generals Ye Hu and Shen Changge, but Not only did he not take advantage, but Tuoba Ya was killed by Shen Changge. Now Tuoba An is posting posters everywhere, threatening to pay thousands of taels of gold for the lives of Ye Hu and Shen Changge. A few days ago, Xiangsimen also received name posts. .”
"Ten thousand taels of gold, this is such a big deal from Tuoba An! But don't let the Xiangsi family get involved in this matter!" Su Changfeng first smiled sarcastically, and then directly ordered Su Chang in a serious tone.
That night, Qingxuan was brought back to the Acacia Gate by the man in black clothes. From then on, she took his pulse, boiled medicine, and nursed his body back to health, day after day, without stopping.
After Qingxuan had been conditioning Su Changfeng's body for a month, his health had indeed improved greatly. He had to avoid eating any warm food, but he was able to drink some warm soup yesterday. According to Qingxuan According to his instructions, the kitchen can add some warm food to him every day, and then determine the next step of nursing care by observing the effect after taking it.
From then on, Su Changfeng became more courteous to Qingxuan. He first changed her place of residence, and then assigned two maids to serve her specially. Someone took care of all her utensils personally, and everyone in the door saw that She was also treated as a guest, with utmost respect, which made her often feel guilty.
That day she said she could detoxify him, but she was actually exaggerating due to the situation. She has been helping him diagnose and treat these days, and she discovered that the poison in him was actually brought from his mother's womb, and it was an extremely domineering one. Heat poison.
She also occasionally saw it in a medical book. The name of this poison is called Red Lotus. Red Lotus is extracted from dozens of kinds of snake venom. When the poison is released, the person who is poisoned will feel like falling into the red lotus hell and suffer ten kinds of pain. The Fire of All Causes burns and is extremely painful, hence the name.
Back then, this red lotus must have fallen on her mother at first, and then she was adopted to him because his mother was pregnant with him.
After being poisoned by this poison, most people would be tortured to death. Fortunately, he survived, but he could no longer be like a normal person. Not only could he not eat any food with temperature, but the period between summer and heat every year was the most painful period of his disease. when.
If it hadn't been for the experts who had helped him nurse his condition properly over the years, it's unclear whether he would have survived to this day.
It was said that he was cured, but at least she did not have this ability now. She was quite proficient in the method of recuperation, but she knew that everything she was doing now was only to relieve his pain.
But he seemed to have great trust in her, and he did everything as she asked. When she asked him to take the medicine, he drank it immediately. When he asked him not to worry about it, he immediately put down his chores and rested. She said that he could add some supplements to his diet. A little warm soup, he did his best to risk the possibility of recurrence of the heat poisoning.
Qingxuan knows that his poison is extremely overbearing. Once it attacks, it will burn his body like a fire and make him miserable. Even when it does not attack, there are still many taboos. He is afraid that he has endured a lot of pain because of it over the years, and now someone suddenly gives him hope. , how could he not hold on tightly.
But if he knew that she couldn't help him detoxify, would he cut her into pieces? It would definitely happen! Although he was very polite to her at the moment, she knew that he was by no means a kind person. Once the hope of detoxification was shattered, he might not just let her die.
Every time she thought about this, she shuddered and missed Ye Hu even more. She wondered if he had gotten news about her from Xiao Bu Dian? What would he do if he learned that she was at Acacia Gate at the moment? Will he risk his own life to save her
The Xiangsi Sect didn't seem simple. Although she stayed in the backyard most of the day, she occasionally learned from subordinates who asked to see Su Changfeng that the Xiangsi Sect was a killer organization with many disciples, all of whom were very skilled. If Ye Hu came rashly, he would definitely be in danger
She tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep. She wanted Ye Hu to come and save her, but she was also afraid that Ye Hu would be in danger. So she simply sat alone in front of the window and looked at the bright moonlight in the sky. The moonlight was so bright that it made her eyes hurt. Big tears fell from her eyes.
"Ye Hu, Ye Hu, where are you? I miss you so much!"
