chasing autumn

The author has something to say: Corrected the typo~~

In front of the main altar gate, late at night

"Young master!..." "Young master, you..."

"I'm fine!" Yu Huolian dismounted, handed the reins to the stone statue guard at the door, and walked slowly towards the main altar step by step.

This way, he almost didn't know how he got here.

He got on the horse from the gate of Fangfu, and the journey was fairly stable for a while, but later, he felt more and more pain in his head, and his eyes were blurred one after another, his chest was very tight, and he felt more and more uncomfortable. His face was already sweating, and he could no longer take into account whether there were pedestrians and carriages on the road ahead.Fortunately, Lightning knew the way, so he went straight to the main altar in the general direction.Along the way, he inexplicably remembered many things, past events, flashed before his eyes one by one.These things have nothing to do with Li Chengsong or Fang Li.

After a little hesitation, he paused, turned around and asked, "Is the suzerain at the main altar?"

The stone guard clasped his hands and replied, "Yes!"

Yu Huolian entered the gate of the main altar, bypassed the Nether Hall, and went straight to her room.

The buildings of Infernal Affairs are lined up along the mountain, and the stone-built mountain roads meander up along the mountain. The houses are stacked and arranged in steps, and the Nether Hall is the lowest.There are three stone roads on the left, middle and right behind the main hall. After walking along the stone road on the right for a long distance, and then turning a few turns along the side mountain path, you can see a single courtyard shaded by green trees. Halfway up the mountain, this is the residence of the young master.

Before moving into Chunshan Book Apartment, he had been living here, and he also practiced martial arts with his father in that courtyard.The yard was not very big, with a rattan chair, stone table and bench, and a crooked-neck tree that he had never seen budding and blooming.

Many things are very familiar.

Some are so familiar that he feels nostalgic for the childishness of the past, and he can't help but sigh that there are so many troubles and contradictions now, such as the crooked neck tree.He remembers that when he first moved in, he was about 4 or 5 years old and liked to climb trees.Once when he was sitting on a tree, his feet cramped and he didn't hold the branch steady and almost fell off. He couldn't remember who carried him down in the end, only some vague impressions of fear still remained in his mind;

Some were so familiar that he could feel a chill down his spine just by glancing at them.For example, in a corner of the yard, dozens of broken wooden sticks were stacked in disorder, resembling a hill.

"... still there?..."

When Yu Huolian stepped into the courtyard gate, she inadvertently glanced at the pile of wooden sticks, and a cold voice suddenly sounded in her mind: "Hunchback, don't clean it up! Just put it there and let him remember it for a long time!!"——The words were still in my ears, The memory is still fresh, and several places on the body seem to be aching.These years have been very hard, every day, there are always things that he can't finish and martial arts that he can't finish.Whenever he has made progress in what he has learned, he always expects to be praised by his father but often fails, but if he is a little slack and lazy, he never escapes his father's eyes.Not wanting to look any further, he averted his eyes and entered the back room.

Stepped into the threshold of the back room and lit a candle.The cabinet on the right hand side and the east wall is full of various medicines.There are a lot of medicines, all of which are the best wound medicines and tonics, with remarkable curative effects. Some of them even come from foreign countries, and even he himself can't name them.These medicines were taken or given to him by Zhan Haolu one after another, supporting him through more than ten years of hardships and dangers.Whenever he needs to perform a mission in danger, he always has some on his body.Later, he moved to Chunshan Book Apartment. For convenience, he brought a lot of medicine with him in case he needed it at any time.Just this time...

Ningxiang pill... Ningxiang pill...

Yu Huolian thought silently, thought for a while, squatted down, and opened the bottom cabinet door, only to see hundreds of small porcelain bottles of different colors and patterns placed inside.

"... Which one is it?..."

His mind was still swollen and painful, his eyes were dark, and he couldn't see clearly.He couldn't remember what kind of bottle the Ningxiang pills were in for a while, so he simply opened a few medicine bottles and brought them close to his nose to smell them. Seeing that it wasn't Ningxiang pills, he had to put them back again.

Zhan Hao said that Ningxiang Pills can refresh the mind and invigorate qi, make people feel refreshed and greatly increase their energy, but it only works for a while. People have to rely on this medicine to survive, so it can only be used for emergency preparation. If you eat this medicine, you should try to kill the enemy in one fell swoop! ...

Zhan Hao also said that Ningxiang pills should never be eaten too much, and they are basically not used at ordinary times, so Zhan Hao controlled the amount of Ningxiang pills and only gave him very little.The 8 Ningxiang pills that he brought to Chunshan Shuyu had already been eaten, so he had no choice but to go to the main altar to get them, he remembered that there should be another one here.

Yu Huolian thought in her heart: As long as there is another one, just one...as long as the escort of Princess Xixia can go smoothly tomorrow morning...

It's just a pity that it's not a coincidence, just as he was thinking, the voice he didn't want to hear at the moment came from behind him——

"...What are you looking for?..."

Yu Huolian felt like thunder when she heard the sound, and her face turned pale instantly.Looking back, the person who came was indeed Zhan Hao!Zhan Hao frowned slightly, his eyes cast a cold light, his complexion was cloudy. "father……"

Zhan Hao shouted: "Get up!"

Yu Huolian panicked, quickly closed the cabinet door, and stood up in panic.It's just that at this time, dizziness surged in his head again, his chest was suffocated, and his limbs were weak.He leaned on the wall and adjusted his breath with difficulty to gather his mind before he managed to stand still. He hurriedly lowered his head, waiting for his father to speak.

Seeing his unbearable pain and dazed look, Zhan Hao was really surprised. After thinking for a while, he asked in a cold voice: "What? Looking for medicine?!...Are you injured? Or sick?... ..."

Forced by his father's majesty, Yu Huolian didn't dare to raise her head. He secretly bit his lips and endured the pain from all over his body, and said intermittently: "I...I'll get some medicine...go back for spare..."

Zhan Hao's expression was grave, his brows were furrowed tightly, his eyes were like sharp knives, and after careful scrutiny, he felt a little determined.Zhan Hao slowly stretched out his hand and pulled his wrist to check his pulse, but Yu Huolian hurriedly avoided it, which made Zhan Hao's heart arouse immediately, and said sharply: "What are you hiding?!"

"Father, there's no need, I'm just a little tired, I'll be fine after a night of rest..." Yu Huolian lowered her head, her body kept retreating, her voice was trembling.

Zhan Hao couldn't bear it anymore, he couldn't help but step forward and pull it off.Yu Huolian was clasped tightly with her hands by force, unable to break free, her eyes were fixed on Zhan Hao.Zhan Hao hadn't checked his pulse yet, but he first rolled up Yu Huolian's sleeve and checked his arm.There was nothing on the left arm, but on the right arm there was a blood-red vein winding up from the wrist until it stopped about an inch away from the elbow.Yu Huolian's eyes couldn't help but twitch, knowing that a storm was inevitable.At this moment, he only felt that the red line was so dazzlingly bright and so frighteningly cold.

Condensation, incense, pills? ! ...

Zhan Hao was shocked when he saw the red line, almost without any consideration, he gathered up the front of Yu Huolian's robe and shouted angrily, "Say!! Is it Ningxiang Wan?!!..."

Yu Huolian's wrists hurt from being tightly bound by him, and then she was yelled at by him until her head ached and became dizzy. It took a long time to react, "Father, I, there is a reason for me to do this, and I have no choice but to..."

Zhan Hao couldn't listen anymore, so he slapped him across the face, and he fell to the ground with blood in his mouth and roaring in his ears, and he suddenly felt as if the world was spinning.

"Take another one and you will definitely die! Ningxiang Pill is a forbidden drug and you should not take more! How many times do I have to say it before you remember it?!"
