son sick

By the time Lian Meng found the hut, it was almost midnight.

Ling Yin said that it was in the innermost part of the town, and it was a place with flower gardens.

When Lian Meng found the place with Qi Nian on his back, he found that the flower garden there had been destroyed, and the courtyard was overgrown with weeds and cobwebs.

After a brief cleaning, he reluctantly cleared the bed and let Qi Nian rest first.

At that time, it was already dawn, he had been busy all night, but he couldn't afford it, so he leaned against the door and fell into a deep sleep.

In his sleep, he vaguely saw Ling Yin coming back with the life-saving herb; Qi Nian's illness was finally cured; and his good junior was also safe and sound, happily coming to pick him up back to the valley.

In that beautiful dream, everything around him seemed to be covered with a layer of bright golden light, Qi Nian smiled softly in the light, and then he walked towards him, as if to say something, but Lian Meng didn't hear clearly.

Then the dream woke up.

Lian Meng opened his eyes and found that it was already dawn.

He was still leaning against the door, but he was wearing a dark green coat.

Then he raised his head and saw Qi Nian's figure at once.

The man stood with his back to him. In the early morning light, the pale golden light made his whole body glow.

Lian Meng was dumbfounded for a moment. At this moment, Qi Nian heard the movement behind him, turned his head unconsciously, and then laughed again the moment he saw Lian Meng.

"Are you awake?" He said as he walked towards Lian Meng, finally sat down beside him, and asked him if he was still cold.

Lian Meng didn't react for a while, at this moment, Qi Nian stretched out his hand and wrapped the clothes around him tighter.

"I...I'm not cold anymore." Lian Meng replied in a low voice.

Qi Nian looked at him, smiled slightly, then turned his head, and looked forward again.

In fact, Lian Meng didn't know whether he knew the current situation.

However, Qi Nian seemed to have a relaxed expression, although his face was still a little pale, but it was much better than when he was in Xingshulin.

"What about you?" he asked quietly.

Seeing that he cared about him, Qi Nian's smile deepened.

"Huh?" Lian Meng thought he hadn't made it clear, and added, "Is there something wrong with your body?"

Qi Nian still didn't speak, he kept looking at Lian Meng with sparkling eyes.

Lian Meng was a little strange, thinking that he was being stupid again, and was about to speak, when Qi Nian suddenly grabbed his wrist.

"I'm not feeling well."

"Ah?" Lian Meng was taken aback, "Then... let me get you some medicine? Ling Yin left me some prescriptions when he left, saying it was..."

Qi Nian still smiled and did not speak, Lian Meng didn't quite understand, the man suddenly leaned over and hugged him into his arms.

"You..." Lian Meng was startled, but Qi Nian rested his head on his shoulder and stopped talking.

It was only later that Lian Meng realized that it was the man who woke up too early today and fell asleep again due to exhaustion.

He squinted at Qi Nian, laughed speechlessly, then shook his head, and helped him to take a nap on the bed.

It was broad daylight then.

Lian Meng stretched his waist and continued tidying up the house.

When he separated from Ling Yin last night, he only brought some simple luggage.

It was mainly Qi Nian's clothes, some silver, and a few prescriptions Ling Yin had left for him, saying that it was the pharmacy that Qi Nian had often taken in the past few months, which could relieve his symptoms when he fell ill.

In addition, he also found a delicately wrapped bundle, and when he opened it, he found that it was the cloth given by the boss Na Xiang when they were in the Peony Pavilion that day.

The silk and satin were as red as blood, and several huge peonies were outlined with gold threads on it.

Lian Meng didn't know what the Eldest Young Master was carrying this cloth with, but since Ling Yin also brought this cloth with him when he was leaving, presumably it was for other purposes.

So he put away the piece of satin properly, and then went out to buy rations.

It's just that he just stepped out of the door, and was about to touch some broken silver, but saw the two white jade flower pendants hidden in his sleeves, and a small letter from the blind old man, saying that it was left to him by Junior Brother Qingyang. letter.

Lian Meng opened it and looked, and found that there was not much content inside, just a few instructions, saying that it was to remind Qingyang of everything, so he came to look for him at the door.It seems that there is not much mystery, thinking about it, Lian Meng put it back in his sleeve.

In fact, in front of the lonely grave that day, he should have burned the letter on the spot, but at that time he was only thinking about the flower pendant and didn't think about it for a while.

Now it's all right, I have a letter to the deceased in my sleeve, I'm afraid I won't be able to give it to him in this life.

He sighed, and walked out the door.

There are many more pedestrians on the street.

Lian Meng went around, bought a lot of rations, and inquired a lot of news.

It turned out that the place they came to was called Qianyue Town, which means "one month in a thousand mountains, spring in every household".

There is a wild forest behind the town, and there are no other people in a radius of a hundred miles, so travelers on the road often come here to rest their legs.

Because I have a lot of contact with foreigners, the folk customs here are also open, and it is not surprising to see all kinds of "weird" outsiders.

Before Ling Yin went to Qi Mansion, he lived alone here for several years.

Many people in the village knew him. When they saw Lian Meng coming out of his old residence, they all asked him who he was from Dr. Ling.

Even Meng didn't intend to tell them the truth. After thinking about it for a while, he told them that Ling Yin was his younger brother, and that he was covering him when he went out.

After speaking, a group of elders and aunts were very impressed, saying that there was another martial arts master in the town, and after being amazed, they asked him if he wanted to buy another basket of pumpkins.

Lian Meng was momentarily stunned by their question, but he couldn't help himself, so he had to carry another basket back.

It seems that the folk customs here are simple and honest, but the "businessmen" are very shrewd.

Lian Meng couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply left most of the silver taels in his arms at home, and then went out again.

But besides all kinds of small businesses and hawkers, there are also some entertainers who tell stories and sing songs.

They don't "make things difficult for others", they just want to spend some tea money and pass their leisure time.

Lian Meng didn't find a chance to listen to it for a while, and besides, there were many people standing on three floors in front of the table, so he didn't have the time to squeeze in again.Just let it go for now.

It's just that when he passed by, he heard someone say that he picked up a corpse by the grove outside the town.

There were no knife wounds or marks on his body, and it is said that his internal organs were broken and died.Presumably, when traveling at night, he met some kind of top expert.

Lian Meng thought about the time when that person died, but it was about the night when he came.

However, there were not many other clues after that, so he didn't take it to heart.

In fact, this is only a trivial matter.

What troubled Lian Meng the most was the Miao people he kept running into on the street after spending a day or two in the town.

Both men and women, I don't know if the people from the Tiancan Sect have followed.

Once, Lian Meng asked a Miao girl wearing silver jewelry how they came to this place.

The girl looked him up and down for a while, and then responded with a smile.

But she didn't say why, she just looked at Lian Meng and asked if there was any girl engaged in his hometown.

Lian Meng wanted to tease, but when he raised his hand, he saw two flower pendants in his sleeve.

This look made him lose his skills in an instant, the Miao girl saw his face startled, shook her head in disappointment, before waiting for his reply, she smiled in relief, then dangling the silver jewelry on her body, jumped over the stream and left .

Lian Meng looked at her leaving back, feeling a little annoyed in his heart.

But he thought about it, anyway, they are only staying for a few days, as long as they are careful not to be discovered by others, they can always get through it safely.

So, he walked back to the hut where he and Qi Nian lived, but unexpectedly, he saw a white-feathered pigeon parked in front of the door.

The white dove brought a message from Ling Yin.

The letter looked quite thick.But except for the first sentence, saying that he has found a place to stay and is looking for someone to inquire about the strange flower, the next three pages are full of the chattering doctor reminding Lian Meng that he must choose according to Qi Nian's situation. Different prescriptions were used to decoct him.

Lian Meng had a headache reading it, and was about to put down the letter, but at the last sentence, he saw the man add a sentence earnestly, saying that his son had been ill for a long time, and this time the poison had entered his internal organs, and there might be changes. Take care.

Seeing those words, Lian Meng couldn't help but panic.

When talking with Ling Yin earlier, that person didn't mention that the poison in Qi Nian's body might have penetrated into his heart veins. Could it be that his situation is so urgent?

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden creaking sound from behind the door.

Lian Meng turned around, and saw Qi Nian open the door.He smiled and asked him why he didn't come in, Lian Meng panicked, put the letter into his sleeve, and rushed to meet him.

Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't want Qi Nian to worry too.

Auspicious people have their own celestial features, and he believes that this kind-hearted young master Qi will eventually turn danger into safety.

Just wanting to think about it, Lian Meng Yeli was tossing and turning in worry, thinking, if something really happened to Qi Nian, where would he go to find Da Luo Immortal to save him.

Later, the more he thought about it, the more annoying he was, he really couldn't fall asleep, if he just got up on his stomach, he went to sit on the roof and let the wind blow.

It was cold and windy at night.

Lian Meng rubbed his hands, looking at the extinguished candles in every household, he felt worried again.

In fact, he didn't quite understand why he was so worried.The only thing he agreed with Ling Yin was to send them to the Xingshu Forest.If anything went wrong with Qi Nian during this period, it wouldn't be his fault.

only……

Lian Meng sighed again. At this moment, a young monk passed by outside the hut. He felt strange, and was about to do light work, but he suddenly saw a candle lighted up in the abandoned flower garden. , it was Qi Nian who came out.

Lian Meng thought it was the man who came out to look for him when he saw that he was not there, but after a while, he realized that the figure in the courtyard had a hazy look...

Is this the hallucination from before?

Lian Meng didn't move anymore, he watched the man in the courtyard sit down at the stone table in the flower garden.

The moonlight was cold, and the surrounding area was as icy as water.

"Qinian" was sitting at the table, his brows were slightly frowned, as if he was looking at something in his hand.

Lian Meng couldn't see what it was, so he simply jumped off the roof and took a few steps forward cautiously.

So at this moment, he saw clearly that what "Qi Nian" was caressing in his hand was the white jade peony pendant.

But that's not all.

Because under the jade pendant there was a piece of silk cloth with Lian Meng's name embroidered on it.
