Chapter 27

"Ah Jiu, are you freezing? Why is your face so red?" Yuan Qing reached out and touched his face. His warm palm touched his cold cheek, and he couldn't help rubbing it, as if he wanted to rub his face. The warmth conveyed to the past.

"You just love to think about it!" Hearing this, Ah Jiu rubbed the center of his brows, it was indeed a bit cold outside, making his own head dizzy.But his health has always been good, and he hasn't been sick for many years.

Perhaps to save money, he hasn't eaten anything today?But if Yuanqing knew about this, it would probably be sad again.So he grabbed Yuan Qing's hand on his cheek, pressed his throat and comforted softly: "Don't you know me yet? Even if you take off your clothes and blow it in the snow for a day and a night, nothing will happen. Now it’s just standing in the street for a long time, it’s okay—cough cough cough—”

"No, your head is very hot." Yuan Qing was startled, leaned forward, touched his forehead with the back of his hand, and then stuck it to Ah Jiu's forehead. "Ah Jiu, is there anything uncomfortable about you?"

I didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but after being yelled at by Yuan Qing, Ah Jiu really felt a little dizzy.But seeing the worried expression of the person in front of him, he didn't want to make him worry, so he pressed his temple and leaned towards the fire in the dilapidated lobby: "Okay, let's rest, it's snowing——"

The flames in his sight danced several times in his dry eyes, and he blinked with difficulty, only to feel that the flames in front of his eyes had turned into a dazzling golden color, and his sore eyelids could no longer be opened.

"boom--"

A big living person suddenly fell down so straight, Yuan Qing was startled, knelt down and kept calling his name: "Ajiu? Ajiu!"

"Don't worry—" Ah Jiu barely opened his eyes, saw the anxious person in front of him, pursed his chapped lips, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll just sleep for a while, and I'll be fine in a while."

He slept for two whole days.

Seeing that his fever was getting more and more blurred, Yuanqing became very anxious.

This day, the ice melted and the snow melted, the long street was full of people's voices, and the Jimin Hall was also full of noise.

"Doctor, please! Please! Go and see my brother first!" The thin young man was wearing thin clothes, lying on the cold ground, kowtowing as if pounding medicine.The sound of kowtow could be clearly heard in the lobby, Yuanqing's forehead was already bloody and bloody, and even fresh warm blood was seeping out continuously, crawling along his small and handsome facial features, dripping slowly on the ground.

"Please doctor! He's been burning for two whole nights—"

"Please go and see my brother first! I will definitely find a way for money!"

"In the next life, I will repay you as a cow and a horse!"

"Go and see him—"

"I'm sorry, my son. I'm not a fairy. It's really hard to go to the doctor without money." Such things happen every day. Doctor Zhang, who has white beard and hair, doesn't even look away, and concentrates on pounding the fresh herbs under his hands.

what to do?Yuan Qing, who was kicked out, stood blankly on the street, watching the people coming and going.The illness came like a mountain, and Ah Jiu had been unconscious for two days.

On the first day, seeing Ah Jiu not waking up, Yuan Qing panicked.Braving the howling cold wind, he went from door to door begging those doctors, but he was always turned away.In the end, I really had no choice but to go to the Hanshan Temple outside the city and ask Ah Jiu for a safe talisman that was said to be very effective.In order to show his sincerity to the gods and Buddhas in the sky, he also stuffed a lock of his own dry yellow hair into it, just hoping Ah Jiu could wake up as soon as possible.

That day, there were waves of pines and waves in the temple, and the sound of the bell was far away. The fat monk who hit the bell opened his eyes without waves, and his gaze stayed on him for a long time.

"Benefactor." The monk with a round and jade-like appearance called him softly, and stopped his vain footsteps, "Benefactor, greed, anger, ignorance and hatred are all floating clouds, and I hope that the benefactor will not be blinded by worldly love and hatred, and commit murder in vain. "

Kill evil?Yuanqing was holding the peace talisman in his hand, and he smiled inwardly. Recently, he was so worried that he didn't think about eating and drinking, and the person who staggered a few steps almost laughed out loud.

For so many years, it has always been man's knife and me as fish.

"If the benefactor is obsessed with his obsession, all karmic obstacles will eventually be burned by the red lotus fire." The last monk said with a sigh.

What's the meaning?Does that mean he will be burned to death later?Disappointed, Yuan Qing was in no mood to think deeply about the monk's nonsensical words.

It was a long time later that Yuanqing finally realized that the compassionate monk was sincerely admonishing him.However, when he understood, the monk's words became a prophecy, and it is hard to imagine that the world has long been irreversible.

Ah Jiu was in a coma, if he continued to burn like this, he would be really afraid, and he would really hate—hate those who stood by and watched.As long as anyone, no matter who it is, even if you are soft-hearted, just extend your hand to him, just one touch.He has nothing but Ah Jiu, who is not a relative but is better than a relative. As long as he can save Ah Jiu's life, he is willing to do anything, really anything.

Even if it's killing Nie, what's the harm in killing Nie for Ah Jiu's life?But after killing those doctors, can Ah Jiu get better?Not only would he not kill those indifferent people, but he had to beg them three times, as long as they were willing to save Ah Jiu.

Money, as long as you have money, Ah Jiu will get better, Yuanqing thought in a daze.

On a moonlit night, the night is dark and windy.

"Brother, can this kid do it?" The youngest glanced at the frail young man on the shoal, and holding a lantern, he approached his boss with mischievous eyes, and asked cautiously, "Look at him, he looks like a bean sprout." , as if a strong wind is about to be blown away."

The so-called boss pinched his chin, thought for a moment, his complexion was covered by the shadow of black clouds, and he could see clearly: "How would I know? This kid knelt down in front of me on the street and gave me a full blown face." Seventeen or eighteen ringing their heads, begging me to bring him here."

"Tsk tsk, I can't see it. People are not small and careful. In our line of work, one careless—ouch!" The third child suddenly cried out while clutching his headache.

"Just you yelling like a crow? If you're good, don't pick on the bad ones. If you don't talk, no one will think you're dumb!"

The wound on his forehead had scabbed over, Yuanqing stood numbly in the cold wind for a long time, he was so cold that he was unconscious.He didn't know what he was going to do, but he heard from others that money came quickly in the business of picking up corpses, so he begged the boss for a long time before he finally got his consent.

In fact, it is not difficult for them to do, as long as they jump into the river every day when the tide rises and falls, they will bring the corpses washed up by the river to the shore, sort them out, and wait for the anxious family members to come to the door and claim the corpses back. You can.Of course, there will be a lot of thanks before this.

It sounds simple, but in fact they are betting their lives, the river is ups and downs, and anything can happen.Every moment of sinking into the river, between each breath, it is impossible to confirm whether the next breath will be ushered in.

The dark wind swept over, and a burst of damp mixed with an unknown fishy smell rushed towards his face.

Yuan Qing has never been in the water.He just heard Ah Jiu describe the suffocation feeling of being unable to breathe underwater since he was a child, as if he had experienced it himself, and naturally he also felt a little afraid of the river.

But the reality couldn't allow him to back down, Yuan Qing gritted his teeth, as long as he could survive these two days, he would be able to save Ah Jiu.

"Boy, come here." The voice of the boat boss was carried by the cold wind from the river, making his ears hurt.

Yuanqing hesitated for a moment, then moved his feet and walked over.

Seeing his face looking death like home, the boss of the boat laughed happily: "Boy, are you afraid now? It's late! If you are afraid of death, go home quickly—"

"I'm not afraid!" Yuanqing suddenly said, his neck was stuck, and his tone was extremely firm, "I'm not afraid, it's... just jump down and dive to the bottom of the river, right?"

"This kid is interesting." The third child came up and said arrogantly, "I'll let you go into the water today to see what's at the bottom of the river. What are you doing? Go down!"

Before Yuanqing could react, he was kicked in the back, his center of gravity was unstable, and he staggered and plunged into the river.

In an instant, mouthfuls of river water poured into his nose and eyes, freezing cold to the bone.Yuan Qing subconsciously wanted to cough a few times, but forgot that he was holding his breath, causing the river water from all directions to pour more and more into his nose, eyes and ears, squeezing the few air in his chest.

"Cough cough cough—" Yuanqing covered his mouth, coughed a few times uncontrollably, finally relieved the shortness of breath for a moment, and let out a long breath.

The surroundings are very quiet, Yuanqing can only hear the sound of his heart beating in his chest, which is extraordinarily loud.The brilliance of the full moon, which was mostly covered by floating clouds, sprinkled in the river, shining brightly like a smashed mirror.He subconsciously raised his hand to touch it, but let the light slip away from his palm.

The slender aquatic plants protrude from the bottom of the river, drifting with the undercurrent below, as soft as willow branches on the shore, and fish schools swim past in front of them along the established route, and even saw a few A small fish circled around him, but the lower he went, the less he could feel the existence of light, and he could no longer see clearly.

Although he had never been in the water, Yuanqing felt that going into the water was not as scary as Ah Jiu described.After wandering in the river a few times, not only did he not feel cold anymore, he even felt his body warmed up.

"Brother, this kid hasn't moved for a long time. He must have drowned, right?" The voice of the third child came from above his head, and he couldn't hear clearly through the thick water.

"Probably not. Besides, he insists on coming, so he can't blame us." The boss hesitated for a while, then discussed, "Young three, go down and have a look."

"I'm fine." Yuanqing yelled at the two people above the river, not sure if they could hear them across the river. "It's too dark under the river to see things clearly. I guess the ladle has sunk to the bottom. Why don't you come down and take a look together?"

"Kangdang——" a dull blunt sound floated into the ear canal.

What's wrong?Yuan Qing frowned, and floated up to the river cautiously.Yuanyue, who had been covered by floating clouds for a long time, finally showed her whole face shyly. Yuanqing emerged from the water and was covered in silver light. A few strands of wet hair stuck to her cheeks, making her whole face more delicate.

On the shore, the two people who were fearless before saw him get out of the water, their legs went limp in fright, and they were so trembling that they dared not look directly at him.

"Boss! He-he-he can talk underwater—he's a monster!" The third child was terrified, and after sneaking a glance at Yuanqing, his face turned pale, and he struggled to crawl a few times away.

"My God! He, he, he has a tail—"
