In the carriage, Ling Xueji carefully put away the umbrella that was still draining, Qu Quan took out the handkerchief in his arms and put on Ling Xueji's wet embroidered shoes, it would be quicker to absorb some water, wearing wet shoes in continuous rain It's not good.

After driving all the way to Shangshufu, the rain had stopped.The long-accumulated drops of water slid from the eaves into elegant and straight lines, and the cloudless sky reminded that the short-lived sunny day will soon continue.Qu Quan led Ling Xueji out of the car, and saw a carriage parked beside the gate of Shangshu Mansion at a glance.The old butler folded his hands in his sleeves, looked around and saw Qu Quan coming, and walked over tremblingly.

"My lord, the Minister of War is here."

Qu Quan raised his eyebrows, and the minister of the Ministry of War raised his eyebrows?What is he here for?

***

It has been a few days since Wei Yueyan returned to Longxi City safely, and the soldiers and people in the city have calmed down from the overwhelming joy, and once again fell into sorrow.Like a god of war, the dangerous general who protected Longxi City suffered from a serious illness, and no medicine or stone could replace it.Between the doctors in the city and the Yaolu military camp, none of them could bring any optimistic news.The sky over Longxi City was gloomy and gloomy.

Ling Qiufan sent the last doctor of the day out of the camp and turned back to the bedside, seeing the festering area on Wei Yueyan's arm getting bigger and bigger, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

"Is there really nothing you can do?"

Looking at the mournful wife, Wei Yueyan pulled her pale lips, as if she wanted to show her a comforting smile, but she found that she couldn't even deceive herself at this moment.

"Qiu'er, things will always get better." Wei Yueyan paused with the hand that wanted to take off the mask, circled in mid-air, and finally landed lightly on the back of Ling Qiufan's hand, bringing her a faint warmth .

"Why did this happen..." Ling Qiufan's voice was choked up, this time even she couldn't cure Wei Yueyan's miasma, how could this happen?Obviously, the last time, she was the one who cured the last time, could it be God's will...

"Ayan..."

"Huh?" Wei Yueyan propped himself up, trying to make his voice sound more energetic.

"You told me that my father and brothers died of miasma poisoning, but you were there at that time, why are you okay?" Ling Qiufan said without even realizing that his eyes had been ignited with hope, But in Wei Yueyan's eyes, it was difficult to meet his eyes.

Finally, under Ling Qiufan's various inquiries, she told her wife what she didn't want to be known.

"I... ate those... human flesh infected with miasma poison."

Chapter 180 Five: Both Medicine and Poison

Wei Yueyan didn't look at Ling Qiufan's expression, she turned and turned her back, "I didn't eat it on purpose, but because I was weak after being poisoned, the black miasma was everywhere, and it was hard to tell where I was, I was trapped in the forest and I was hungry and thirsty , that's all there is to it."

The horrific experience was not deliberately exaggerated in her mouth, but the few words she said plainly caused Ling Qiufan's heart to tremble.She was glad that Wei Yueyan couldn't see her when he turned his back, so he quickly rolled up his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes.Such an experience, the listener is still trembling, let alone the person who was in it at that time.

When a person is in despair, what supports her?Is it an invincible desire to survive?Is it a blood feud engraved in the bone marrow?Or an illusory belief?

People caught in fantasy will radiate all kinds of ideas, then infiltrate, ferment, and then enter the imaginary madness, unconstrained and vivid.

And only those who have really experienced it will know that the only answer——

It's instinct.

When the body and mind are crushed into the soil by the giant wheel of fate, they become mud.The desire to survive, hatred, ideas, and beliefs will all be ground into powder and scattered with the wind.All that remains is instinct, pure instinct, the same instinct as all living beings.

When you are hungry, you will look for food, when you are thirsty, you will drink water, when you encounter roads, you will walk, and when you encounter water, you will float.I only know how to move forward, but I don't know the other shore, I only know how to sleep and sleep, but I don't know spring and autumn.

Wei Yueyan would never tell Ling Qiufan about these things that were hidden in the darkest years of her life. She would just hold the face of her beloved and kiss away the tears from the corners of her eyes over and over again. Saying things that have been said a million times over and over again.

You are a god, lead me out of the sea of ​​calamity.

Shangshu Mansion, Flower Hall

"Thank you Rong Shangshu for your kindness. This fact will solve my urgent need." Qu Quan frowned, paused and said, "It's just that the matter is so important at this time, His Majesty may not allow it. Right now I have a job but no real power. Scattered, there are no pawns in hand, and it is not easy to win them."

"Qu Shangshu is too worried." Rong Qi said: "As long as Qu Shangshu thinks this matter is feasible, Rong will definitely help."

"Then thank you Rong Shangshu." Qu Quan bowed his hands gratefully to Rong Qi, but was stopped by Rong Qi.

"You don't need to thank me, this is what Rong should do." Rong Qi sighed, "The matter of General Danger is full of storms, and no one in the old party has said a word about it. If there is no Minister Qu to testify for him, the consequences will be serious." It's unimaginable. If you want to thank, it's Rong who should thank you."

"My lord, my lord!" Huamei rushed into the flower hall in a hurry. When she saw Rong Qi, she was terrified and fell silent. When Rong Qi knew that he was not facing Shuang Ge, he was no different from a black-faced Yan Luo. Seeing this, he stood up and faced Qu Quan. hand over.

"Master Qu, then Rong will take his leave today."
