Dianxia Qingcheng

This time, I didn't sleep peacefully at all. I always felt cold in my sleep. The quilt on my body was already tightly wrapped, and I still felt the chill dig into my body from my limbs.

In a trance, Qi Changyi felt as if someone was calling him.

"Long memory, long memory, long memory, wake up..."

But the eyelids are so heavy that I can't open my eyes.

I seem to be running, I have already fallen many scars on my body, and blood is dripping from big and small, but I still have to keep running, keep running, there is a fog behind me, as if something is chasing he.

Suddenly, a terrifying-looking beast rushed out of the fog, with a **** mouth wide open, a scarlet tongue spitting out hot air, looking like it was going to eat people, and its sharp claws were about to grab the back of the little man.

Qi Changyi broke out in a cold sweat, and the whole person seemed to be fished out of water, and the inner shirt he wore was already soaked.

Frightened that the extreme person has lost the ability to speak, but his brows are wrinkled, his fingers are clenched tightly, and his breathing is gradually rapid...

"Chang Yi! Wake up!"

"Ah!" Qi Changyi exclaimed, and finally opened his eyes suddenly.

He was lying in the wagon now, and they were on their way again.

"What's wrong? Why do you sweat so much, are you having a nightmare?" Zhao Litang wiped the sweat from his forehead, but there was more sweat overflowing.

Qi Changyi's lips were white, and his body was still shaking, "I... I had a terrible dream just now... It was really terrible... Brother Tang, can we really escape? Will it really be okay? ?"

Zhao Litang comforted him and said, "Yes, we will be fine, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Qi Changyi put down his snacks a little, lay back, touched the pillow, but panicked again.

"Where's my lantern? Where's my lantern? Where did my lantern go? I've clearly placed it next to me... Brother Tang, have you seen my lantern? It looks like a little rabbit with a lantern on its head. A little red lotus flower, the little bunny's ear is broken here..."

Qi Changyi kept groping with his fingers in the carriage, Zhao Litang pulled him and explained, "Changyi, you are still hot now, I am afraid you are sick again, don't move around, cover the quilt obediently, and be obedient. !"

"Brother Tang, I just want my lantern..." The little man's eyes turned red instantly, trying to keep his eyes wide open to hold back the tears.

"Chang Yi, listen to me, don't cry first, okay?"

The little man wiped his tears with his sleeve, then nodded.

Zhao Litang didn't know why he was so reluctant to part with that broken lantern, but now that the little man is far away from the place where he lived since he was a child, he must be afraid of panic, he said patiently,

"When I went out to check just now, I saw the guards in the city patrolling around. Although they were not the Imperial Guards from the Imperial City, it was definitely not without reason that they suddenly started searching the city, so we must leave here as soon as possible to be on the safe side. Do you understand?"

The little man nodded while holding back tears.

"When I went back to find you, you fell asleep, your body was hot, you lost consciousness, and you couldn't wake up. It happened that the guards were questioning you downstairs in the inn. I was in a hurry and took you directly from the back door of the inn. , so I didn't have time to see if there was anything else on your bed, the lantern was probably left in the inn."

The little man can understand it almost, and knows that Zhao Litang's actions are correct, but he is still very sad and very sad.

That lantern, he likes it very much. As for why he valued it so much, it was his emotional sustenance for his past years.

It is also a kind of sustenance for the person who gave him the lantern. After all, he just left, maybe he will never see him again in the future.

But now, even this sustenance is gone.

Zhao Litang said, "Okay, don't think about it. If you like it, I'll buy you a few more in the future, okay?"

Qi Changyi nodded lightly, lying back under the thick quilt obediently, curled up his small body, buried his head deeply, and let the tears come out.

The carriage was galloping, heading for a larger city farther away.

Zhao Litang was worried about Qi Changyi's body. He didn't know whether it was because of the heavy wind and cold at night, which caused him to suffer from the cold, or because of some other old disease. It was not the way to burn like this, and he had to go to a big town. Find a man to have a look.

Now that all the things that can be covered are covered by the little man, I can still feel the small body shaking under the quilt.

After another day of galloping, the carriage finally arrived at a relatively large town.

- Stepping into the city, you can feel that this place is obviously more prosperous and lively than the previous town, but it is naturally incomparable with the imperial city.

After Qi Changyi was settled, Zhao Litang ordered the groom to help him go out to find the best man in the city, and then he stayed by the bed.

Suddenly, there was a regular knock on the door, and it sounded in the silent night, which inevitably made people nervous.

Zhao Litang walked to the door, and a black figure quickly flashed in.

Wu Quan was out of breath, he chased Zhao Litang and the others all the way, but luckily they had negotiated the route in advance, so he quickly caught up.

Seeing that he was the only one back, Zhao Litang frowned, "Where are the others?"

Wu Quan said, "Don't worry, General, everything is fine, it's just that we got separated earlier, and the others will rush to join the army without stopping. I'll pick you up."

Zhao Litang hurriedly brought him to the bedside, "Come here first, what's going on?"

Wu Quan saw the little man lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his face as pale as paper, but his body was terrifyingly hot.

"General, you have to get medical treatment as soon as possible! My subordinates have already said that His Royal Highness is not as weak as he looks, I'm afraid it will be difficult to support him. Now it seems that the situation is even worse..."

Just as he was talking, the groom returned with Lang also.

Lang is a gray-haired old man, and his legs and feet are a little inconvenient to walk, but he is the best Lang in the city.

After the old man entered the door, he was not in a hurry. He saw that the people in the room were not ordinary people, but he was not interested at all. He walked over to the bed to check Qi Changyi's pulse.

After taking the pulse for a long time, the old man finally touched his beard and narrowed his eyes.

"Hey, this little guy is not too old, why is his body ruined like this, it's already riddled with holes. It must have been destroyed by something.

After the blow, both the body and mind suffered a lot of damage, plus some pain and inner trauma, and now I'm hanging on my breath, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover! After hearing this, Zhao Litang clenched his fists unconsciously, and stepped forward to grab the collar of the old man, "What are you talking about! What a waste of time! You have to cure him now! "

Wu Quan hurriedly pulled his general back, "General, he's right, whoever you asked to see, this is the result!"

How could Zhao Litang not know!

He just didn't want to believe it.

The little man lying on the bed was unusually quiet, with a fair face and indescribable beauty. He is only ten years old, and he has experienced pain that others may not experience in his life, so he is so eager to end this short and long life, right?

"Cough, that's not necessarily true." The old man standing beside him suddenly said, "As far as I know, the most skilled doctor in the world is the ghost doctor who lives in the valley of ghosts. According to legend, he can heal human flesh and bones. Naturally, there is no need to talk about the living. It's a pity that he is elusive, and no one can find him."

Zhao Litang looked at him immediately, "Who else is there?"

"There is one more person, I'm afraid you won't be able to see it either."

"Just say so."

The old man stroked his beard, "There is an imperial physician in the Imperial Palace Hospital, named Jiang Yubai, who has made great achievements in medicine at a young age, and can be called the second best person in the world, but that is an imperial physician. Ah, we ordinary people will never see it."

Jiang Yubai?

Zhao Litang gritted his teeth. If he didn't go back, it was indeed impossible to see him again, but what could he do? Do he want to watch Qi Changyi slowly die?

"Hey, why do I tell you these impossible things, it's just to add to the troubles, you just do your best to make him live happier in the last days."

The old man went to get his medicine box and took out a packet of needles for acupuncture, "I'll give him acupuncture first to cool down his body, otherwise people will be stupid if they burn like this."

Wu Quan and the groom retreated.

Zhao Litang had a lot of thoughts in his heart. He couldn't think of a reconciliation for this matter, so he stretched out his hand and pulled Qi Changyi's collar away, helping to expose his chest to facilitate the needle insertion.

The collar was pulled open, but the white and smooth chest was covered with scars and ambiguous blue and purple hickeys. Mark-like, swearing and clamoring for who owns this person.

Both Zhao Litang and the old man looked into their eyes.

The needle in the old man's hand pierced accurately, but he was muttering, "Tsk tsk tsk, inhuman!"

Zhao Litang even had the illusion for a moment whether he should send Qi Changyi back to the palace, so that at least he can get the best treatment, but now it seems absolutely impossible!

Pei Zheng is an inhuman being. I don't know what kind of torment I'll be subjected to when I send the villain back. Maybe the life that I finally saved will be lost faster!

After the acupuncture, the heat on Qi Changyi's body finally dissipated, and it was not so hot, but he was still in a coma and didn't wake up. Presumably, the two days of running around aggravated his condition.

The old man prescribed some medicine, and he could only renew his breath on the road, and it didn't really have any effect on Qi Changyi's body.

Zhao Litang put away the medicine, and just as he was about to send the old man out, he heard a commotion from downstairs.

Looking down, it turned out that several guards entered the inn to search, and they were about to go upstairs.

The old man quickly pushed Zhao Litang back into the room. Zhao Litang picked up the little man on the bed and was about to jump from the window, but the old man grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"Don't jump! Are you trying to break his body apart! Besides, it's not necessarily safe outside that door! If you can trust the old man, the old man will stay and help you."

Zhao Litang stared at the old man's eyes, and put the man back on the bed.

I saw Lao Lang lifted a wooden board on the floor, and there was actually a small compartment below that could accommodate one person.

"Go in and hide, the other old men."

Seeing that Zhao Litang still didn't want to believe him, the old man was worried for him.

"This innkeeper and I are old acquaintances, and I am familiar with the secret passages here. If I wanted to harm you and called someone over just now, why bother? If you hesitate for a while, they will come in! Besides, You can see the movement outside even if you are hiding under it, if there is anything wrong, just rush out immediately!"

The wooden board was about to close, and the door was pushed open immediately, and several guards rudely broke into the door.
