snowstorm

The carriage stopped slowly, Lu Jue jumped out of the car first, the door opened, and Lu Jue stepped forward to help the old doctor down.Xie Qiao stepped forward to take the old doctor's medical box, and smiled at Lu Jue again.Lu Jue gave him a cold look, then looked away.Xie Qiao looked at the white jade-like profile of the man and the line of his lips pursed downwards, thinking about how to coax him.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

The man Lu Jue caught also jumped out of the car at this moment, and when he saw Xie Qiao, he frowned tightly, then he reacted and said to Lu Jue, "Is he the one you are looking for?"

Before Lu Jue answered, Xie Qiao said, "Yes, he came here just to find me." Lu Jue glanced at him, but still didn't say a word to him.

The man seemed unaware of the weird atmosphere between the two, but said to Lu Jue: "Since you have found the man, take him away quickly." He repeated: "There is nothing here. Good place." The voice was still hoarse and terrifying.

Xie Qiao was about to say something when the old doctor said, "This is in the middle of the road. It is neither a teahouse nor a stage. If we want to talk or sing, we must find a suitable place."

Xie Qiao nodded with a smile, and pointed out: "The old man is very right. I forgot. This is not a place for talking and singing. No wonder people don't talk to me, and I sing plays differently." Thank you Qiao helped the old doctor, pointed in the direction of the bamboo forest and said unceremoniously: "Then let's go to a place where we can talk." After saying that, he helped the man to go there, leaving only Lu Jue and the man behind .

Seeing that Xie Qiao didn't mean to leave, the man didn't say anything, but he seemed to regard the wooden house as his own home. He took off his bamboo hat and was about to explode when he saw Lu Jue blocking him with a hand holding a sword. With the outstretched arm, he whispered: "I think he has been taken care of by you these few days, thank you. The old man has traveled all the way, and he really needs a place to rest. I hope you can forgive me."

The man knew that he was not Lu Jue's opponent, so he just closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay to rest, but you must leave as soon as possible."

Lu Jue looked at the madness and eagerness flashing across the man's dull eyes, and nodded.Only then did the man let go of his strength, Lu Jue withdrew his hand, and the man and Lu Jue followed Xie Qiao together.

……

They entered the bamboo forest together, and after walking for a while, they saw the wooden house in the bamboo forest.When he saw the wooden house, the man's eyes, which were originally as dull as stagnant water, opened as big as copper bells: he saw that the originally empty flat ground around the wooden house was full of trees that had been felled and neatly stacked. Bamboo and a dozen huge bamboo baskets full of things, as soon as you approach the house, you can smell a strong medicinal fragrance.

The man saw that the outside of the house had become like this, so he hurriedly pushed the door open and entered the house. Sure enough, as expected, half the room was piled up with white cloth.

The old doctor walked to the edge of several bamboo baskets, pinched the contents of each basket, put them to his nose and sniffed them, then looked at Xie Qiao: "These are all medicinal materials, and you prepared them?"

Xie Qiao nodded: "Since you have come here all the way, these will naturally be used."

The old doctor's heart froze, and his face became serious. He looked at Lu Jue again: "Little General Lu, this is why you brought me from Jinling to Tai County? What happened here?"

The coldness on Lu Jue's face was even worse. He glanced at Xie Qiao and said to the old doctor, "I only found out yesterday that there is a plague here. I have sent someone to transfer the army. Before the army comes, I have to trouble the old doctor." Judge the epidemic here."

The old doctor nodded solemnly: "It should."

At this time, the man had already stepped out of the room, and he strode towards Xie Qiao with anger on his face, Lu Jue naturally stood in front of Xie Qiao, frowning slightly: "What do you want?"

The dullness and hopelessness in the man's eyes were replaced by anger, which made his originally pale and bloodless face flush abnormally red, his jaw trembled slightly, and his eyes turned red when he looked over at Lu Jue to Xie Qiao, every word was like It's like the teeth are squeezed out: "You, come, here, where, to, end, for, why?!"

Xie Qiao looked at the person standing in front of him almost subconsciously, and felt his heart tingling with pain. He wanted to do one thing very much now, he wanted to pull this person who was so close to him, Xuebai The wrist, dragging the person into a corner where there is only darkness, bottomless, and no one can find it, then hug him, kiss him, kiss him, and make him completely his own—even the breath of that person, It's all my own...

This thought is so inappropriate at this time, but once it is born, it can never be dispelled.

Xie Qiao closed his eyes, and pulled the man's wrist. The man never defended him, so he pulled hard, and Lu Jue was pulled behind him.

Xie Qiao stepped forward and looked at the man in front of him who was almost crazy at this time, and said calmly, "I came to Zhou Village because of the plague in the village. I must get rid of the plague here."

The man's tall body trembled violently after hearing this, and he froze there like a nightmare.Xie Qiao saluted him with fists in his arms, and said, "Thank you, Qiao. I took care of you a few days ago. Thank you. May I ask your honorable name?"

Hearing Xie Qiao's words, the man trembled even more violently. He laughed hysterically, the muscles on his face twitched, and even his neck began to turn red, but tears flowed from the corners of his eyes: "Say...why are you respectful?" , We are such untouchables, what are we talking about, respect and fame! You...you want to clean up the plague here, you clean up the plague, and you are the savior here, what is the point of everything I do?!"

He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Xie Qiao's collar, staring at Xie Qiao's face with maddened eyes: "Do you think it's great to be the savior?! Do you think you're great?!" His other arm Pointing fiercely in the direction of the village outside the bamboo forest: "You are their savior, you save them! Should they be saved?! Where are you when the people who should be saved need to be saved?!"

"Let him go." Lu Jue firmly held the man's arm holding Xie Qiao's collar, and said while looking at the man.

The man didn't know what to think of, and he was stunned for a while, his eyes began to straighten, as if he was looking at some illusory place.

"You... defend him like this, who is he?" His voice was soft and hoarse, as if he was talking to someone who didn't exist.

Lu Jue paused as he held the man's arm: "Of course he is a very important person to me."

"Very...important person..." He loosened his grip on Xie Qiao's collar, tears welled up in his eyes, he turned his head slowly, looking somewhere.Xie Qiao followed the man's line of sight, and from the corner of his vision, he saw the tomb with the nameless wooden monument standing in front of it.

"boom!"

With a clear sound, the man's hand was loosened, and he closed his eyes and fell towards Xie Qiao.Lu Jue stepped forward to support the man's body.

The old doctor's face was revealed, and he was holding a wooden stick in his hand. Seeing Xie Qiao look over in surprise, he sighed and said, "It's better for him to sleep now. I picked a place to hit, he won't something."

Xie Qiao nodded, and together with Lu Jue helped him into the room and put him on the bed.

……

"Do you have something to do?" After setting up the person, Lu Jue finally said the first words after meeting Xie Qiao.

Xie Qiao looked up at him and said, "If I say I have something to do, what will Brother Huaiyu do?"

Lu Jue's heart froze, and his brows frowned. He pulled Xie Qiao aside, pinched Xie Qiao's shoulder, looked straight into Xie Qiao's eyes and asked in a low voice, "Did you enter that village?! Xie Qiao! What do you think? Your own life! When you did this, did you ever-" think about how I feel.

The words after "is there" can't be said anyway.

Xie Qiao had never seen Lu Jue like this before. Hearing the sadness in Lu Jue's words, he panicked for the first time, and hurriedly said, "Brother Huaiyu, I'm fine. I don't know anything about the disease. That village is of no benefit, so naturally I wouldn't risk my life."

"I'm really fine." Xie Qiao looked into Lu Jue's eyes with dark eyes.

Only then did Lu Jue let go of Xie Qiao, turned around and walked out: "As long as you have nothing to do. Sorry, I lost my temper just now."

In the two lives, Xie Qiao had never seen Lu Jue like that. He secretly blamed himself and felt distressed, but at this moment he had other things to do—he closed his eyes and punched the wall of the wooden house .When the turbulent mood in his heart calmed down a little, he glanced at the person lying on the bed with a complicated expression, closed his eyes, turned around and walked out.

The old doctor was sitting on a bluestone outside the house, looking at the mound of graves and sighing. Xie Qiao followed the old doctor's line of sight to look at the mound of graves, walked up to the other party, took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to the other party, and said: " This prescription can cure the disease there, but this prescription is not complete, and the complete prescription must be formulated after the old man considers the condition of the disease."

The old doctor took the paper from Xie Qiao's hand, glanced at the medicinal materials inside, and his face became more serious. He said, "Dare to ask Your Highness, where did you come from for this prescription?"

Xie Qiao said, "I can't say that."

The old doctor sighed, and said: "I can't be sure if I haven't seen the patient now, but if His Highness's prescription is really a cure for this plague—" the old doctor said holding Xie Qiao's wrist, his body trembling slightly: "Your Highness, you have saved the lives of tens of millions of people!"

Lu Jue supported the old doctor's trembling body, with a serious face, he said, "Old man, what is this plague?"

The old doctor looked at Lu Jue and said: "I have to see a person before I can confirm it. This disease is extremely rare. I have only read this prescription and this disease in an ancient book. I never thought I could see it with my own eyes." This disease—” He paused, his face full of fear: “If it spreads—General Xiao Lu, not only Luzhou City, but even Jinling City may become a dead city.”

Lu Jue's pupils shrank, and he looked at Xie Qiao—he just wanted to ask Xie Qiao to a place where no one was around. Xie Qiao was in Jinling after he was nine years old. He was not good at medicine, and he had never seen him before He has been interested in some medical books, and he has never experienced any plague since he came to Jinling. Tai County is so far away from Jinling, how did he know about such a dangerous plague...

However, now is not the time to ask.

Lu Jue closed his eyes.

They have more important things to do...
