The red lady with a smile

Chapter 15

When Xuan Qing was fully awake, he was greeted by two acquaintances.

Zimo will not talk about it. What surprised him was why Han Mingruo was also in this cottage, but before he asked any more, another fact related to him was presented in front of him. Han Mingruo told him seriously that this time he would Tell him all the hidden things, because it is done, Xuan Qing can no longer ignore it.

"Before explaining all the incidents, I want to hear the truth from you. The baby girl you brought was born by you yourself?"

Xuan Qing was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips and nodded vigorously, and then continued: "But I don't know..."

"I understand, you don't know everything, not even why you have children, so this time I just want to explain to you."

Sure enough, there was a reason for the incident, Xuan Qing secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and then quietly listened to Han Mingruo's words.

The origin of the child is still related to Ten Thousand Snakes Gu. In order to let Xuan Qing understand, Han Mingruo used the most appropriate word - side effects.

As I said before, to unravel the Ten Thousand Snake Gu, one must eat the medicine man made for the Ten Thousand Snake Gu, and in the past there were many people who opportunistically thought of using another method to extract the essence of the medicine man. the best way.But what is unexpected is that it is unknown which of the two parties is the problem. If a person who has been infected by the Ten Thousand Snake Gu has sex with a medicine man, no matter male or female, as long as the medicine man is under him, he will have a "bad child".

"As the name suggests, "evil fetus" is a life that shouldn't exist, not to mention that it will involve the abnormal disease of male pregnancy. "Han Mingruo said, "It's just that these are all mentioned in the book, and no cases have been recorded so far, and you served A Luo before without any problems, so I didn't pay attention, but unexpectedly..."

Xuan Qing was very clear about what he wanted to say, and he was not angry because of Han Mingruo's concealment, it was God's will, he accepted his fate, but...

"Mr. Han, this is the end of the matter. You and I can't change it. Xuan Qing doesn't ask you anything. I just hope that you can return Xia Xia to A Luo. You should also know that it is not beneficial for the child to follow me."

"This..." Han Mingruo hesitated to speak.

On the contrary, Zi Mo couldn't help laughing, Xuan Qing wondered why he was laughing, and just listened to him: "It's not that simple, otherwise why do you think Ming Ruo is here today!"

His words made Xuan Qing look at Han Mingruo suspiciously. Seeing that the paper could not contain the fire, Han Mingruo had no choice but to continue to explain to him, "Actually, since you left... something happened to Wei's mansion, Ah Luo, his condition has worsened." sign of

"what!?"

No one knows when the poisonous poison began to mutate, maybe it was after Xuan Qing left, or maybe earlier, but A Luo has been silent, and no one paid much attention, even Han Mingruo.

Originally thought that Xuan Qing's blood had suppressed A Luo's Gu poison, so as long as he took care of it carefully afterwards, nothing would happen, but the reality was the opposite of what Han Mingruo thought. Not long after Xuan Qing left, A Luo fell ill. Without warning, he fell straight down like this, and then he was groggy and unconscious, lying on the bed the whole time.

"The people in Wei's mansion were going crazy. It wasn't until I went to look through Master Xin's medical books that I found the warning that had been missed." At this point, he stopped and glanced at Xuan Qing, "The book says that once you start Take the antidote, you can't stop it, you can't stop it, unless the medicine gets rid of the Gu, otherwise the medicine can still dissolve the poison and make the Gu poison worse."

"...!"

"Allo seems to have not noticed this, so that it has deteriorated to this day...it is almost on the verge of death."

Having said that, Xuan Qing soon understood that perhaps it was not accidental that he met Han Mingruo here.

As if to confirm his conjecture, Zimo on the side followed Han Mingruo's words and continued: "Let me explain the next paragraph, you will understand it faster, it was a past event many years ago, it was related to the young master of the Wei family, It has something to do with me, and it has something to do with you..."

The matter was related to more than ten years ago. At that time, this place was not a cottage, but a mountain villa. Xuanqing had heard these trivial matters mentioned by the townspeople, but this time he listened more carefully.

There is a good man who practices medicine living in the mountain villa. In fact, he is a famous doctor himself. He lives here because there are many precious herbs in the mountain, which are easy to find.The doctor's surname is Xin, and he has a close friend named Wei, who is A Luo's biological father.Different from Dr. Xin's low-key, Master Wei is well-known and prestigious in the world, and has made many enemies. One of them is even more ruthless. The original intention of the poison on Mrs. Wei was to make Master Wei feel the pain of losing his beloved.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wei was pregnant at that time, and the Gu poison accidentally fell on their youngest child, so A Luo was infected with the strange Gu when he was young, and ordinary doctors said that it would be difficult for him to survive and grow up.

"The old man of the Wei family loves his son very much, so he naturally thought of him as a doctor's best friend, and as a doctor, he is an old friend, and Doctor Xin naturally did not refuse."

Dr. Xin took him to his own villa to recuperate. That year, Aluo was three years old.

"Master Wei's illness is really strange. Dr. Xin worked hard to find a solution, and he fell into it without knowing it. Since then, his purpose has changed from "curing his friend's son" to "curing his friend's son" "Find the antidote to the Ten Thousand Snake Gu"! "

The two sound like they have the same purpose, but they are completely different in reality. The latter disregards Arlo's safety. Dr. Xin has made various attempts with his body, effective or ineffective, safe or dangerous, as long as he thinks it will He will give A Luo any medicine that is useful.

If things go on like this, when A Luo was five years old, I don't know which medicinal material had an effect, and the scales on A Luo's body gradually receded, except for the relapse in summer and March, and other days were no different from ordinary people.

The Wei family and his wife were already very satisfied with the result, but Dr. Xin was not. He put all his knowledge into it in order to find the antidote to Ten Thousand Snake Gu, and A Luo's changes did not satisfy him.

So he continued to study and search hard, and finally his hard work paid off. He found a book in the extreme north that recorded the Ten Thousand Snake Gu, but this book has been eroded by the years, and the recorded content is intermittent. It cannot be recovered, but it is already a great gain for Dr. Xin.

"Doctor Xin, as if he had found a treasure, devoted himself to the classics. After his careful comparison and restoration, he found the only antidote to the Ten Thousand Snake Gu from the books, and that is the medicine man!" Zi Mo said in a tone of voice. Suddenly, the tone of the statement was just now, but now it is ridiculed and excited, "Educate people with medicine, use people as medicine, eat their flesh and blood, swallow their bones and bones, what a cruel way to save people, but Dr. Everyone started his "pharmaceutical" move. "

It is not easy to be a medicine man for Ten Thousand Snake Gu, not only the blindly precious medicinal materials are needed, but also the physique and bone of the selected person must complement the medicinal properties, otherwise it will eventually lead to the evil result of rejection.

In order to make the best medicine man, Dr. Xin made an inhumane plan. He was originally a good person in everyone's mouth, so he used this to adopt and keep orphaned and disabled children from all over the place. In name, he gave them a place to live. Secretly, he uses the bodies of these children as medicine, hoping that a perfect medicine man will emerge from among them.

"Heh... It's a pity that everyone couldn't see through it at that time. They all regarded Dr. Xin as their reborn parents, and they were willing to work hard for him, let alone try various medicinal materials." Zimo snorted self-deprecatingly. .

It has to be said that Dr. Xin is very thoughtful. Adopting disabled orphans will not be a problem, but it is also a decisive factor for the pharmacists, because the children are still in the growth and development stage, their physique is not determined, and they have been fed medicinal materials since they were young. The chances of success will be greatly increased, but this is just a chance, not a guarantee of success.

"I don't know if anyone died before, but it's true that Dr. Xin has never succeeded, so every year he will bring his children back to the villa... When I first came to the villa, I was very young and lived with everyone. I had a similar experience again. After a long time, I naturally became friends with a group of people, and my relationship was closer than that of ordinary brothers and sisters. At that time, the young master of the Wei family also lived in the villa, but everyone knew that he was special. , is the young master of a rich family, and he can live alone in a room, so no one dares to get too close to him."

"What about me?" Hearing this, Xuan Qing couldn't help asking.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't understand what role he was playing in this play.

Zimo looked at him, and suddenly sighed, "Actually, I didn't know who you were before, but I didn't think of something until I heard Mingruo mention your surname Yin yesterday..."

Speaking of the Yin surname, it is considered a rare surname in Qi Yi. In Zi Mo’s impression, there is indeed a young man named Yin in the villa, but no one knows his name, because his background is not clean, and everyone treats him very well. They are also kept at a respectful distance.

"I heard that Dr. Xin brought back a young prostitute from another town. He was fourteen or fifteen years old. He did something in the building and was beaten to death. Dr. Xin said he brought him back temporarily for treatment. , doesn’t seem to have any plans to stay forever.”

Xuan Qing clenched her fists, still surprised.

"I don't have a deep impression of that man, but Dr. Xin did use a lot of medicine on him, and he seemed to be sent down the mountain by Dr. Xin because he had a rejection reaction very early."

"Rejection?" Not only Xuan Qing, but also Han Mingruo asked in unison this time.

Zimo slightly raised the corner of his mouth and pointed to his right eye, "It's similar to a cold. I haven't studied medicine, but I've seen other children's illnesses. At first they were just insignificant symptoms, and I also suffered from a minor illness. I can’t see in my right eye, and I think everyone is going to die in the end, but I’m just lucky enough to live a little longer.”

Han Mingruo frowned after hearing the words, and immediately stretched out his hand to feel Zimo's pulse, but strangely, he couldn't diagnose any abnormality.

Suddenly being grabbed by the wrist, Zi Mo was also a little surprised, but then he turned to laugh and joked: "It's really virtuous to care about me so much."

"Shut up!" Han Mingruo glared at him, and continued to focus on his pulse diagnosis.

Looking at the two of them, Xuan Qing always felt that the atmosphere between them was very delicate, but it was impossible, Mr. Han clearly liked A Luo...

He was curious but didn't ask. After a while, Han Mingruo finished his pulse diagnosis and shook his head to express that he didn't notice any abnormality, and Zimo was not surprised either. For him now, the poison in his body was no longer important.

The topic returned to Xuan Qing again, and Han Mingruo concluded from Zi Mo's words: "If what you said is true, then the medicine that the Ten Thousand Snake Gu medicine man needs to take is probably another kind of poison, and the medicine man's constitution needs Only by bearing this poison can we succeed.”

"It should be like this." Zi Mo glanced at Xuan Qing from the corner of his eye, "This guy is lucky enough to turn this poisonous inheritance into a medicine primer."

"I think it's similar, otherwise Xuan Qing's name would not appear on Master Xin's roster." Han Mingruo also agreed.

It turned out that Master Xin kept a register with many names on it, which were the names of the children he used to test the medicine.

According to Zi Mo, Master Xin was not insane to the point of irreparable madness, he still had feelings for the children he adopted, and after witnessing their disabled deaths one by one, Master Xin still could not hold back his conscience. Condemned, ended his life with a fire.

"Master Xin handed over most of the books to Wei Chengluo before he died, and when the villa was burned down, he put an rubbed register and some remaining medical books with us in the basement of the villa until the fire ended. We were just released from the basement by the villagers, and everyone said we escaped unharmed, but Master Xin did it on purpose.”

Speaking of this past event, Zimo's feelings are very complicated. After all, the elder who was once regarded as a benefactor, he saved them, but at the same time killed their future. Zimo didn't know whether to love or hate him.

"But speaking of these, the young master of the Wei family is the most hateful!" Suddenly the subject changed, and Zi Mo said with a gloomy face, "He clearly knows everything, and he sees it, but he doesn't say anything. Just to survive for oneself without disregarding the lives of others!"

A Luo is not that kind of person──Xuan Qing wanted to refute, but he couldn't get out of his mouth.

"I... don't remember..." Xuan Qing said plainly, "When I was young, I once had a cold, and the fever lasted for seven days and seven nights. After waking up, I forgot many things from the past. Maybe... what you said is also in it Bar."

But even if I know it now, I don't have any sense of reality. Everything can only be said to be a trick of God.

After explaining to this point, Xuan Qing finally had an answer, but this is not the end, on the contrary, it is just the beginning...

"So, what does Mr. Han want me to do now?"

Of course, he would not naively think that Han Mingruo came to the old site of the small town villa just to explain everything to himself, not to mention that he just said—Ah Luo, he was dying...

When Han Mingruo was asked about it, his expression became serious. He bit his lip, and after hesitating for a moment, he resolutely knelt down beside Xuan Qing's bed.

"...!"

Both Xuan Qing and Zi Mo were shocked, and they were about to ask him to get up, but they heard him say: "Doctors can't take human life, if Han Ming doesn't expect you to sacrifice your life to save A Luo, but please see that he treated you well before A Luo For the sake of my kindness, I hope you can save A Luo this time...you don't need your life, just...you can donate a bowl of blood every year to cure A Luo's illness, that's enough."

A bowl of blood a year may not be a big deal to ordinary people. At most, they are a little weak, and they can recover by drinking some tonics.But Xuan Qing's status is special, his work is enough to hurt the soul and body, and taking blood will undoubtedly make the situation worse.

Thinking of these things, Xuan Qing frowned slightly...

"Will A Luo die if this goes on?" Xuan Qing asked.

"Yes." Han Mingruo replied affirmatively, "Without your blood, he would definitely die."

Xuan Qing didn't want to die, that's why he resolutely rejected A Luo's request to use him as a medicine man, but now and then, he didn't want to die, and he didn't want A Luo to die at the same time, he insisted on choosing one...

"Can I go to Wei Mansion to see A Luo?" Xuan Qing asked suddenly, seeing Han Mingruo's surprised expression, he immediately explained, "I don't have any malicious intentions, I just want to go and have a look... As for taking blood, if it can save him One life, I am naturally bound to do so.”

As soon as Han Mingruo got Xuan Qing's permission, he immediately thanked him gratefully and didn't think about anything else, but Zi Mo found a trace of determination in Xuan Qing's eyes, and he had some concerns in his heart, but he didn't say it out.

Xuan Qing agreed, but his body did not allow him to set off immediately, and Fang Zimo's desire to monopolize Han Mingruo was also evident. He did not allow Han Mingruo to bring Xuan Qing back to the Wei Mansion alone, and insisted on going with him, otherwise he would never let go.

Considering Xuan Qing's health, Han Mingruo couldn't resist Zi Mo's insistence, and finally decided to go with Zi Mo to escort Xuan Qing back to Wei Mansion after the child's full moon.

Xuan Qingyuan thought that one month was too long, but as a doctor, Han Mingruo said it was necessary, so he couldn't refute anything, so he could only rest quietly in the cottage for a month. Of course, in addition to recuperating physically and mentally and taking care of Xia Xia In addition, he was not idle, and wrote another letter back to Jinyuan Building, assuming that A Luo had changed his mind, and he wanted to return to him, so he would not go back to the building. The main purpose of this letter was to hope that the little boss would not worry about himself. , no other intention.

The day of Xia Xia's full moon was midsummer, and the weather was hot. The group of them set off from the cottage and arrived at Wei Mansion as quickly as possible.

Their sudden arrival surprised everyone in the Wei residence, and at the same time alarmed the head of the Wei family, Wei Chenghong. Xuan Qing took a look.

And when Han Mingruo explained to him that Xuan Qing's blood was the good medicine to save A Luo, Wei Chenghong was very shocked. He glared at Xuan Qing with contempt in his indignation. I'm afraid I'm already a typical coward who is afraid of death and doesn't know how to be grateful.

Laughing self-deprecatingly, Xuan Qing is not angry, he is indeed like that, timid and afraid of death but coveting the tenderness of the other party...

Han Mingruo didn't comment on how Xuan Qing would do it, he just told Wei Chenghong that there was no need to delay, and that the most urgent thing was to save A Luo.

Wei Chenghong believed that Han Mingruo would not refuse, so not long after arriving in Wei's mansion, Xuan Qing's wrist was cut open and bleeding, after that no one cared about his injury, everyone was focused on saving A Luo.

Afterwards, Han Mingruo bandaged his wound, and Wei Chenghong arranged for him to rest in a remote house in a corner of Wei Mansion.

The room was very quiet, and there were no servants and maidservants coming to serve her. Xuan Qing happened to be happy and quiet, hugging and teasing her little daughter who was already full moon alone. Hearing the baby's tender and lovely voice, Xuan Qing couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Xia Xia's name has not been given yet, because he has no culture, Xuan Qing always thinks that A Luo can give his daughter a nice name, just like the eldest daughter Chun.In addition to not having a big name, Xia Xia is also a little smaller than ordinary children. Although she is healthy, she is a premature baby after all, and she has no mother. normal child.

But the plight of life can't stop the little girl from growing up. When she was just born, she still had a wrinkled face, but now she has gained weight after confinement. She looks quite cute, white and tender, with revealing cheeks Pink, a pair of big crystal clear eyes, a small cherry mouth, facial features are [-]% similar to A Luo, let Xuan Qing like it from the bottom of his heart just looking at it.

My own flesh and blood, although I said that I can't use my emotions too much, but I can't control it, not to mention that Xia Xia came suddenly, and I rarely get the care and love of others. Consciously, he has a little more affection. Now his greatest joy is to hold his beloved daughter and tease him, and he has really begun to look like a father.

Just like now, although Xuan Qing was injured, she still insisted on pacing the room with her daughter in her arms, coaxing her to laugh.

Xia Xia was very face-saving, and was hugged in Xuan Qing's father's arms, smiling happily, and her immature laughter filled the room.

◇ ◆ ◇

At Zimo's strong request, Han Mingruo went out of Wei Mansion with him and stayed in an inn in the city, while Xuan Qing was left alone in Wei Mansion with his daughter.But apparently, everyone in the Wei family disliked Xuan Qing, and felt that he had done nothing to save A Luo before, and now that he came back with the cheek, he naturally had something to ask them, so before he could speak, Wei Chenghong spoke—don’t Delusion to use this to force, get something from Aluo or Weifu!

This completely defined Xuan Qing on the basis of shameless standards, which made Xuan Qing very embarrassed.

Wei Chenghong met Xuan Qing after dinner at night, firstly to give him a warning, secondly to explain the current situation to him, and at the same time he was accompanied by a young and beautiful girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, Although only a touch of powder makeup was on, it was still hard to hide its radiance and beauty, which was extraordinary.

"A Luo's illness was born in his mother's womb. We don't seek to cure him, but only hope that he can spend the rest of his life happily and safely. So don't worry, we have no intention of killing you." Wei Chenghong explained to Xuan Qing one by one.

"Just before A Luo wakes up and returns to normal, just in case, you must stay in Wei Mansion for a while, and then we will arrange for you to leave."

Xuan Qing listened quietly, nodding occasionally as a response, glanced at the girl from time to time, but didn't know what Wei Chenghong meant by bringing her here.

Just when he was puzzled, Wei Chenghong seemed to have noticed this too, glanced at Xuan Qing and then said: "Ah Luo is not young, and when he reaches the age of marriage, it is natural that we should get married. You and Wan Yue were just concubines before. And this is the sister-in-law we chose, that is, A Luo's wife, because A Luo was in a coma before, we decided to celebrate him, and now they are considered married."

"...!"

Xuan Qing trembled when he heard the words, not in surprise, but in surprise.I wanted to ask what would Han Mingruo do if Ah Luo got married, but when I thought about the ambiguous atmosphere between him and Zimo, I couldn't ask again.

"That... Wei... Master." Can't think of what to call Wei Chenghong, Xuan Qing can only call, "Can I have a small request, it won't be too much, it's really a very simple thing thing."

"tell me the story."

"Can I meet Alo after he wakes up? Talk to him... I have something to say to him, it won't take long."

If you tell the Wei family about Xia Xia, they won't believe it at all, but A Luo should know that he should be responsible for his children, even if he already has a daughter and a wife...

"Can."

Maybe because he felt that Xuan Qing couldn't play any tricks, Wei Chenghong agreed to his request, which made Xuan Qing secretly heave a sigh of relief.

Afterwards they left the hut. This time they were obviously here to demonstrate. A Luo's wife never spoke. She watched everything quietly, but Xuan Qing could feel the smile and contempt in her eyes.

It's not her fault, as a matter of course, she and A Luo are a good match, and their appearance is also a good match. She is qualified to stand by A Luo's side and accompany her, and the future will definitely be perfect.

"I hope she can treat Spring and Xiaxia better..." Xuan Qing murmured.

Now everything is slowly going on the right track, and there are fewer and fewer things to worry about, Xuan Qing thought, this is probably the so-called feeling of going to the end.

Life in the Wei Mansion is not bad, but it’s not good either. What the Wei Manor gave Xuanqing and his daughter the most was not contempt, but ignorance. It was probably an instruction from the Wei family. The servants pretended that they didn’t exist, and didn’t care about it. To inquire, only to deliver food and tea to Xuan Qing and rice porridge for the doll at a fixed time every day, Xuan Qing has to do everything else by himself.

Originally raising children was tiring work, and Xuan Qing couldn't sleep well in the morning and night. Now that he was injured, he had to deal with the Wei family's occasional visits to collect blood, and he had to do the laundry himself. His body soon became exhausted.

Han Mingruo felt strange when he came to see him in the past ten days, thinking that Xuan Qing was burdened by taking too much blood, but he didn't know what happened to him in Wei Mansion.And later, because A Luo's condition changed, if Han Ming couldn't come here often, he wouldn't be able to see the truth even more.

One afternoon, it was rare for Xia Xia to take a nap obediently, and Xuan Qing was taking a nap together, but the door was suddenly opened again, forcing Xuan Qing to wake up and get up to greet her.

"Mr. Han..." Xuan Qing yawned, looking as if he hadn't woken up, his face was pale and haggard, and he was much thinner than before.

But Han Mingruo didn't pay attention to these, his expression was dignified, and his face was full of worries.

Seeing him like this, no matter how stupid Xuan Qing was, he knew that something was wrong. He immediately woke up and asked worriedly: "What's wrong? Is something wrong with Ah Luo? Impossible... You said, as long as you drink my blood ..."

"not enough."

"what?"

"The medicinal properties... not enough!"

"...!"
