Qiao Wei was stunned, she never expected that the miraculous doctor Cangjiu talked about that could bring the dead back to life turned out to be her own father!
Logically, it seems to make sense, after all, apart from her father, no one has better medical skills than her.
And from the previous suspicions, it made more sense. She had suspected that her parents were not in Yeliang City because they came to Yunyun City. No, I guessed it right!
"Father, why are you here?" Qiao Wei asked.
Qiao Zheng still asked Qiao Wei: "Why are you here? Meditation is also here, Hero Yan, Hero Hai."
As if seeing Ji Mingxiu and his party, Ji Mingxiu smiled and called Dad. He was quite happy, but when his eyes fell on the ghost king, his smile faded slightly, "Who is he?"
Ghost King: "Roar!"
Father Qiao was overwhelmed by the lion's roar, and wanted to ask who Little General Mu was, but now he was too shocked to ask.
Qiao Wei took his hand: "Father, let's go in and talk!"
Qiao Zheng nodded: "It's okay, it's freezing, the door is not a place to talk." Then, he held his daughter's hand and led her into the house.
Ji Mingxiu also slowly entered the yard.
Yan Feijue and Hai Shisan quickly followed.
Cangjiu, who was at a loss, was left alone, looking at the backs of the father and daughter leaving hand in hand, speechless for a long time.
Qiao Wei didn't have time to take care of Cangjiu at the moment, after entering the house with her father, she immediately asked about her father and her mother.
Charcoal was burned in the room, and it was still warm. Qiao Zheng asked a few people to sit down, made tea for them, and then sat down next to his daughter, but he was not in a hurry to talk about the matter between him and He Lanqing. The daughter's face was distressed for a while, and she said, "It's only been a few months? You've lost weight."
"Have I lost weight?" Qiao Wei touched her face, she didn't feel it, but her heart was still warm, after all, as long as her mother wasn't around, her father could still notice her accurately!
Qiao Zheng glared at Ji Mingxiu: "How do you take care of my daughter? My daughter is so thin that you still..."
Qiao Zheng wanted to say that you were still fat, but he couldn't say anything to Ji Mingxiu's thinner face.
Qiao Wei and Ji Mingxiu are together every day, and they don't notice it, but Qiao Zheng remembers how they looked when they left Beijing. After such a comparison, the gap will appear. Look at Ji Mingxiu, and then look at Looking at my daughter, I felt that it was because she didn't take good care of Ji Mingxiu.
Ji Mingxiu said obediently: "I was negligent and made Dad worry. I will pay attention to it in the future."
"Cough." Qiao Zheng cleared his throat, "You... just know you're wrong."
"Yeah." Ji Mingxiu smiled.
Qiao Wei couldn't take it any longer, so she quickly skipped this episode and introduced General Mu to his father. She didn't say that he was from the Mansion of the Divine General, but that it was Mr. Mu, a friend of herself and Mingxiu.
Qiao Zheng greeted him politely. Little General Mu was wearing a bamboo hat with the brim of his hat pulled down low. Qiao Zheng didn't deliberately look at his face, but Little General Mu's right arm was stiff, which made Qiao Zheng's buttocks twitch. I can't sit still.
General Mu suddenly stood up: "It's a bit hot in the room, I'll go outside for a walk."
Qiao Zheng's phrase "I'll show you" stuck in his throat.
General Mu went out.
Qiao Wei asked about Jing Yun and Wang Shu: "Have you found them?"
Qiao Wei nodded and said, "I found it. First I found Wang Shu in Pucheng, and then I went to Xiongnu to find Jing Yun."
"The one who found Jing Yun later, Jing Yun..." Qiao Zheng didn't say what happened next, even his grandfather could tell that the child was sensitive, and the younger sister was saved first, so would he think that his parents didn't want him
Qiao Wei told Qiao Zheng exactly what happened along the way, Qiao Zheng was startled when he heard that, Qiao Wei said again: "It's all over, it's fine, Jing Yun is fine, don't worry gone."
It's not a question of whether Qiao Zheng is worried or not right now. His heart aches so much that he can't say who he loves more. Even if Wang Shu is more confused, he doesn't know that he has been taken captive, but it is still his heart. He loves her, and loves her. Jingyun is the same.
Besides, Wang Shu is a little girl again.
There is a kind of fear that makes grandpa think you are very scared.
His little Wangshu must have been terrified.
Thinking of such a young child being taken away in his sleep, and waking up with no parents around, the kind of panic is probably beyond the imagination of adults like them.
He thought of his daughter again. She also lost her parents when she woke up. At that time...was she ever so scared
Qiao Zheng held her daughter's hand, feeling more and more guilty.
Qiao Wei still didn't know that her narration like a running account made her father hurt. Seeing that his father was silent, she asked a little anxiously: "Father, don't just talk about us, what are you and my mother doing?" The same thing? Where is my mother? Why didn't I see her?"
Speaking of He Lanqing, Qiao Zheng sighed faintly: "Oh, I'm looking for her too."
Qiao Wei was surprised: "Didn't you come here with my mother?"
Qiao Zheng said resentfully: "We originally came together, but we got separated later."
"How did you get separated?" Qiao Wei asked.
Qiao Zheng said: "Didn't we split up the night we left the capital? The group that your mother and I followed took the water route, so we also took the water route. When I was about to catch up, I fell ill. When I recover and catch up with your mother, that group of people is already out of the way, but they didn't go to the three cities in the north, they probably sensed that we were following them, and they made a big circle and entered from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Huns.
We don't have customs clearance documents from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Your mother wanted to be tough, but I persuaded me. It took me a while to forge the documents, and it was delayed again. But fortunately, your mother is so good that she caught up with them. At that time, we had left the Huns and entered a small town. "
"Could it be Phoenix Town?" The first town Qiao Wei met when she entered the Xiongnu was Fenghuang Town. Hearing what Qiao Zheng said, she subconsciously said the name of the town.
Qiao Zheng shook his head: "I forgot the specific town, but it's not Fenghuang Town. They all speak Yeluo dialect. I don't understand Yeluo dialect, but your mother understands it. Your mother was the one who scouted the way along the way. Two days later, that group of people went on the waterway again. We bought a boat to follow them. This time we blocked them, but the river suddenly flooded and both boats were submerged. Your mother and I were also washed away in the flood. scattered."
The last time was a flood, and this time it was again. Qiao Zheng felt that God would make fun of him too much!
Qiao Wei said in relief: "Father, don't worry, mother will be fine."
It's okay for you to be so weak, my mother's martial arts is world-class, and of course it's even more impossible for you to have trouble.
Qiao Zheng didn't think anything would happen to He Lanqing either. He thought that He Lanqing's martial arts back then were less than half of what he is now, and he survived being washed away by the flood. Now he is more able to save himself from danger. In short, he just doesn't admit that he is weak That's it!
Qiao Wei said again: "Father, weren't you washed away by the flood? How did you end up in this cloud city?"
Qiao Zheng said, "You said Yunshangcheng."
"It's called Cloud City?" Qiao Wei blinked her eyes.
Qiao Zheng said: "Yes, it's called Yunzhongcheng. After I was washed away by the flood that day, I vaguely remembered that your mother threw a piece of wood for me. I hugged the wood and floated all the way. I passed out while I was floating. At the moment, I was by a small stream, and there was another person by the stream, he was bitten by a poisonous snake... "
"Are there any poisonous snakes in such a cold day?" Yan Fei couldn't help interjecting.
Qiao Zheng explained: "Originally there wasn't one, but he was a herb picker. He found a poisonous snake while picking it, and put it in a basket. There happened to be a warm water bag in the basket, which woke up the poisonous snake. Come out and bite him."
"What about after that?" Qiao Wei asked.
Qiao Zheng said with emotion: "Afterwards, I treated his poisonous wounds. He saw that I was good at medicine but was homeless, so he brought me back. He opened this clinic. I listened to them All the words I said were Yeluo words. I guessed that I should have arrived in Yeluo. The destination of your mother and I was Yeluo. If she couldn't find me nearby, she would definitely know that I was here, so I thought Get your name out there, and when she hears there is a miracle doctor, she'll guess it's me."
It really was a tacit understanding, she heard that there was a miracle doctor, but she didn't guess it was her father.
Qiao Wei said again: "How long have you been here?"
Qiao Zheng said, "It's been half a month."
Compared with the long journey her parents took to get here before them, Qiao Wei is even more curious about why her mother hasn't found Yunzhong City after so long. Her mother needs to have brains and martial arts With martial arts, it is impossible to have an accident, and it is even more impossible to get lost. Could it be that he was tripped by something
No matter what, Qiao Wei was very happy to hear news about the two of them. She had already found her father, and she believed that she would soon find her mother as well.
"Father." Ji Mingxiu, who had been silent for a while, suddenly opened his mouth, "We walked all the way just now and found that there was no one in the city."
I thought it was an empty city, but according to Qiao Zheng's words, there is only one living person living in this clinic, and Qiao Zheng should have seen other living people after sitting in the clinic for so long.
Qiao Zheng groaned, and said, "Today is the third day of junior high school, and they went to the altar to pray."
Qiao Wei was puzzled and said, "What blessings do you pray for so that everyone will be empty?"
Qiao Zheng paused, and said, "I don't know much about it either. I only know that they have a holy religion. Every third day of every month, a blessing is held at the altar in the center of the city. It's not like people who can't get out of bed usually go there."
Qiao Wei thought of those wide open doors, curled her lips and said, "Are you going to close the doors?"
Qiao Zheng smiled: "There are no thieves or kidnappers in Yunzhong City."
Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows and said, "A pure land."
"Hehehehe..." Yan Fei smiled unhesitatingly, "Young master, you have to learn how to be an official here? Tell me how many years you have been prime minister, a thief or a robber in Daliang , why is it still repeated repeatedly?"
Ji Mingxiu gave him a sharp look.
Qiao Zheng looked at Yan Feijue and said, "Hero Yan misunderstood, there is no official government in Yunzhong City."
Yan Fei was stunned: "What? No government? What about the army?"
"No." Qiao Zheng said.
Yan Feijue was even more speechless: "Then, who is in charge of such a big city?"
Qiao Zheng said, "Holy religion."
Yan Feijue pulled a chair curiously and sat down in front of Qiao Zheng, chatting with Qiao Zheng.
Qiao Wei poked her husband's arm lightly, and said in a low voice, "Did you think of the Holy Maiden Hall?"
Ji Mingxiu held her mischievous fingertips: "Yes."
The queen controlled the Temple of the Holy Maiden to control the Tana tribe, and she also used this routine, but the Tana tribe still has the Helan royal family after all, and the Temple of the Holy Maiden is not so easy to cover the sky with one hand.
Qiao Wei whispered: "So, the old hag is probably a member of the holy religion?"
Ji Mingxiu stroked her fingertips carefully: "Ninety-nine are inseparable."
Yan Feijue was talking to Qiao Zheng, Qiao Wei was talking to Ji Mingxiu, Little General Mu had gone out, only Hai Shisan, who couldn't get in anywhere, and Hai Shisan, who didn't want to get in anywhere, hugged, and haired Silly, cool and domineering ghost king.
Hai Shisan chose the former between continuing to be alone and talking to the ghost king.
He was bored, so he simply went out for a walk, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw General Mu and Cang Jiu whispering something at the gate of the courtyard, and when they saw him coming out, they silently fell silent.
Hai Shisan raised his hand and said in a friendly voice, "You talk about yourself."
Little General Mu glanced at Cangjiu, and said to Hai Shisan: "He's asking me how long you're going to talk. I'm afraid his master's injury won't last."
"Ouch, why did you forget this one?" Hai Shisan patted his head, turned and entered the room.
Not long after, Qiao Wei opened the curtain and came out, looked at Cangjiu indifferently and said, "Bring people in."
Two dead soldiers with long swords carried the queen into the hospital.
Qiao Zheng recognized at a glance that this was King Yin's mother: "Oh, how did she get hurt like this?"
Qiao Wei told her father about the Queen's situation.
After Qiao Zheng heard it, he was very surprised, but the surprise was the surprise, as long as he didn't delay the healing of the injured.
Qiao Wei gave him a hand, and he quickly treated the other's wound. The place where the knife was inserted was less than half an inch away from the heart. If it was a little bit off, she was already a corpse, but even so, Her condition is really not good, she lost a lot of blood, and her vitality was greatly reduced. Whether she can survive it depends on the next three days.
If she could wake up after three days, half her life would be saved.
If you can't wake up... then wait for her body to be collected.
While tidying up the scene, Qiao Wei said to Qiao Zheng: "Father, when are you going to Yeliang City with us? Jing Yun and Wang Shu both miss you."
Qiao Zheng sighed: "I miss them too, but I want to wait for your mother here. If your mother comes and can't find me, she will be sad."
Qiao Wei wanted to bring Wang Shu and Jing Yun over, but after a pause, she felt that the city might not be as peaceful as it seemed on the surface, and she should wait until she tried it out before making a decision.
The group had lunch in the medical hall, and Qiao Zheng cooked the kitchen himself, cooking a large table of delicious dishes that Qiao Wei and Ji Mingxiu loved, as well as a pot of sweet mung bean soup for the King of Ghosts.
After the ghost king finished drinking the soup, his eyes were bling-bling, and he immediately "marked" Qiao Zheng.
It had been a long time since several of them had eaten such an authentic hometown dish, as if they hadn't eaten for hundreds of years. The meal for ten people was swept away by these "starving ghosts".
They were so full, Yan Feijue and Hai Shisan held their stomachs and lay down on the lawn to hold their dead bodies.
Qiao Wei helped his father clean up the dishes, and the father and daughter said something considerate. Although Qiao Zheng was reluctant, he still urged her to leave: "Go back quickly, don't make Jing Yun and Wang Shu wait too long , who is not familiar with the place of life, and his parents are not around all the time, he should be uneasy."
Qiao Wei knew, but Qiao Wei didn't move.
At the beginning, I didn't even want to recognize him. When did I ever think that there would be a time when I couldn't bear to leave him
Qiao Zheng stroked his daughter's head kindly, and said with a smile, "Go, father won't leave, you just come back tomorrow."
Qiao Wei nodded, put down the washed rag, and went slowly.
After walking a few steps, she turned around again: "Father..."
"Huh?" Qiao Zheng looked at her with a smile.
"I..." Just as Qiao Wei opened her mouth, there was a commotion outside the door.
Qiao Zheng paused and said, "A patient is here, I'll go and have a look first! You guys sit in the room and don't come out, outsiders are not welcome here!"
Qiao Wei entered the room obediently.
Hai Shisan and Yan Feijue got up from the lawn and quickly entered the house.
On the contrary, Cangjiu waited boldly in the yard with a group of dead men with long swords, confident.
Over the past few days, Qiao Zheng learned a few words of Yeluo from the old doctor in the medical center, but his speech was poor, fearing that people would catch his flaws, so he declared to the outside world that he was dumb.
He opened the door, and two tall and thick men came in dragging a huge sack.
Qiao Zheng motioned for them to carry him into the main room.
Qiao Wei peeked out from the crack of the bedroom door, and saw two sweaty men put the sack on the small bed made of bricks and a wooden board.
After the sack was opened, a heavily tied person was revealed inside. It was an old woman with gray hair.
Why an old woman was tied up like this and packed in a sack is really puzzling.
And when Qiao Zheng turned her face around, Qiao Wei saw the other person's appearance clearly - the old woman's face was dark, her lips were black, and there was a black wound on her right cheek.
Qiao Wei pulled Laj Mingxiu's sleeve and gave him the door.
Ji Mingxiu took a look and straightened up.
Qiao Wei whispered: "Is it scratched by the poisonous body?"
Ji Mingxiu nodded, and whispered, "Father can't cure this disease."
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Zheng waved his hands at the two men, roughly meaning that he couldn't cure them, but he had another medicine that could keep people from relapsing for seven days, so he gave the medicine to the two men, The two left dejectedly.
It's not that he never thought of inviting the ghost king, but the ghost king is not from Yunzhong City, if he rushes out rashly, all of them will be exposed.
After the group of people left, Qiao Zheng turned back to the bedroom: "Leave quickly, it will be dangerous to leave after dark."
"Is that the case just now?" Qiao Wei asked.
Qiao Zheng sighed: "Yeah, something has happened in the city recently. From time to time, people are attacked at night. After being attacked, they become like old women, sleeping during the day and going crazy at night."
Qiao Wei looked at Cangjiu coldly: "Are you even harming the people in your own city?"
Cangjiu said impatiently and helplessly: "Someone ran away and hasn't been caught yet, so what your father said is right, you should hurry out of the city before it gets dark. Luckily."
Qiao Wei said indifferently: "People are doing what the sky is watching, these evils you have committed... just wait!"
Cangjiu walked away coldly.
The group bid farewell to Qiao Zheng and set foot on the way back to the ladder.
Qiao Wei didn't worry about what Cangjiu would do to Qiao Zheng. His master's life was in Qiao Zheng's hands. Unless he didn't care about his master's death, he had to take good care of her father.
Hai Shisan and Yan Fei stayed behind, and the two decided to explore the so-called holy religion overnight.
As for General Mu, he also offered to stay.
Ji Mingxiu didn't say anything, and took Qiao Wei and the ghost king out of the city.
They had already walked through it once, so naturally they would not lose their way, but what the two of them never expected was that they would meet someone near the exit.
Qiao Wei rubbed her eyes, suspecting that she was mistaken: "That... is the national teacher? Why is he here? He is also from Yunzhong City, right?"
Just when Qiao Wei and Ji Mingxiu were looking at the national teacher, the national teacher also found out that Ji Mingxiu and Qiao Wei were there. The national teacher's eyebrows jumped, and Ji Mingxiu said decisively: "Catch him! Don't let him tell the truth! "
Qiao Wei strode over with a brisk step, reached out her hand, and grabbed the shoulder of the national teacher.
The national teacher's martial arts are not very good, and this move is logically unavoidable, but as soon as Qiao Wei's hand clasped the national teacher's shoulder, a white figure flew over like lightning, towards Qiao Wei Shoots a wave of hidden weapons.
Ghost King: "Roar—"
The huge roar, with strong internal force, shattered the hidden weapon into pieces. Even the white figure fell heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Qiao Wei clasped the national teacher's shoulder.
The face of the national teacher changed!
At this moment, an inner force as vast as the universe spread towards this side layer upon layer.
Qiao Wei felt that this breath was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
That internal force suppressed Qiao Wei, Qiao Wei only felt her eardrums twitch, and she couldn't move her whole body.
The ghost king let out a wild roar, flew up, and slammed a palm in the direction of the internal force.
The inner force retreated.
But in just a moment, it was overwhelmed again.
The ghost king hugged Qiao Wei and retreated quickly!
At the same time, a white silk flew from the sky, tightly wrapped around the national teacher's waist, and quickly dragged the national teacher out a second before the internal force reached the national teacher.
A ten-foot deep pit was blasted out by an unimaginable force at the place where the national teacher and Qiao Wei had stood.
