mountains and rivers dream

Chapter 29 Have you reached the point of being afraid of light?

He sighed for a long time, then pushed Xiao Yu on a padded chair, and sat down beside him.

Seeing this, Hu Tao'er on the opposite side muttered angrily, "Cut, eccentric", and then winked at a maid next to her, signaling that the other party should quickly get her a soft cushion as well.

The maid was stunned for a moment, seeing that the other party was very persistent and looked at Qin Lin in embarrassment, Qin Lin nodded helplessly, and turned to get her a mat.

"Have you recognized the mistress so quickly? The world is so cold..."

Hu Tao'er looked at the direction where the maid was going away, shook her head repeatedly, and muttered in a low voice.Lin Keqing, who was behind her, patted her lightly, signaling her not to make trouble.

At this time, Qin Lin finally opened his mouth to talk about what happened in the Mei family.

"This happened about half a month ago. I just finished reconciling accounts with Yu'er at the accountant in the northern suburbs, and I was on my way home. But before I got home, the Mei family sent someone to look for me. It is said that Yu'er suddenly fell ill in the carriage before reaching home."

"At first, the doctor suspected that she had eaten something by mistake, which caused her whole body to be red and hot. That's why Uncle Mei sent someone to call me, fearing that I would also get sick like her, because the two of us ate the same food in the account room that day. Yes. It’s just that I don’t have any abnormalities, only Yu’er has become like that...”

"Later, when the maid serving her was changing her clothes again, she accidentally found a bitten blood bag on her chest... and the maid accidentally punctured the pustules. blister……"

"Uncle Mei found capable people and strangers from the Huo Li Kingdom, but they didn't know what happened to Yu'er's situation. They were getting worse and worse. They also said that she was infected by some kind of... Gu."

Having said this, Qin Lin's complexion became a little ugly, and he paused for a long time, as if he was organizing words in his heart.

"I heard from her maid that now she is covered in blisters all over her body, which will burst at the touch of a touch, and will break again. Sticking to her body will stick to her skin and flesh, and cleaning it up will increase her pain. Hey, I have been suffering like this for half a month..."

Speaking of this, Qin Lin showed bitterness, as if he was sorting out his emotions, and it took him a while before continuing.

"Our two families have been friends for generations, and she is like my own sister. Originally, she was going to marry into the palace next spring..."

After finishing speaking, Qin Lin's face seemed to have become a lot haggard at this moment, and he sat there sighing, although he was extremely anxious, but felt that he was powerless.

This sense of powerlessness has tortured Qin Lin enough in the past half month, and made him even more miserable.

"My aunt passed away early, Yu'er grew up under my mother's lap, and my uncle treated me as his own. I saw with my own eyes that my uncle's hair turned gray overnight, but as an elder brother, I couldn't do anything. I can't share the worries for his old man..."

After listening to Qin Lin's description, Xiao Yu felt a little sad, and regretted that he had delayed coming to Yandu for half a month because of his practice, otherwise, Mei Yu'er's condition would not have been so serious.

On the other hand, Hu Tao'er, who had been eating from the sidelines, suddenly put down the snack in her hand. She patted the residue of the snack on her hand, and stood up from the soft cushion she had just sat down on.

Hu Tao'er's expression became a bit serious, this was the first time Xiao Yu saw her so serious in the past few months when she met her, even Lin Keqing behind her showed a pale and beautiful smiling face from behind her sleeves, The expression became a little frightened.

"What happen to you guys?"

Seeing this, Xiao Yu asked, she saw the abnormality, her heart sank, and for some reason she had a particularly bad premonition in her heart.

"I'm afraid we came here at the right time. Fortunately, we came earlier, otherwise she might really be hopeless."

Hu Taoer said in a very serious tone.

"It's not too late, why don't we go there right away!"

At this time, one was floating silently behind Hu Taoer, and Lin Keqing, who never made a sound, also spoke.

"Little son, prepare the car quickly, let's talk about the rest on the way."

Hu Tao'er quickly said to Qin Lin, showing a slightly anxious expression.

The smart Qin Lin seemed to have realized the seriousness of the matter, and without asking any further questions, he hurriedly asked the housekeeper to prepare the carriage quickly.Soon, the few of them sat in the carriage and galloped towards Mei's house.

At this time, Lin Keqing once again attached herself to Xiao Yu's hair to avoid unnecessary trouble.At this time, the atmosphere in the carriage was extremely dignified.

"Hu... miracle doctor, do you know anything about Mei Yuer's body?"

Xiao Yu asked suddenly.

Hu Tao'er looked out of the carriage with her beautiful eyes, and also felt the atmosphere around her. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, she slowly opened her mouth.

"You must already know what you have on your body. The thing on Mei Yuer's body is probably a heart-burning Gu. There is no solution to this Gu...but there is you at this time! If the person with the heart-burning gu If you meet a person who has chilling heart gu, you can drink the person's blood to suppress the fire poison, and use this to extend your life..."

Having said that, Hu Tao'er raised her eyes and stared at Xiao Yu with a strange look.

"Doctor Xiao, you said that our trip was a bit of a coincidence?"

Xiao Yu completely understood Hu Taoer's words. If Mei Yuer was really planted with Burning Heart Gu, then her blood could at least solve this urgent need first. Thinking of this, she was even more anxious.

Just as Xiao Yu was contemplating, he suddenly felt Yin Qi leaking from his hair. It seemed that Lin Keqing had something to say and was looking forward to it, but after a while the other party calmed down again. Take the initiative to ask.

Qin Lin listened in a fog, as if he didn't fully understand.

"Hu... just now the genius doctor said that Yu'er was planted with the Burning Heart Gu, what exactly is the Burning Heart Gu?"

Qin Lin hurriedly asked, with some hope gradually appearing in his eyes.

As for the Heart Gu, Xiao Yu only heard some superficial information from Ji Xing, but since it is one of the Heart Gus, it must have its strengths, otherwise the Heart Gu would not be the top of all Gus, which is rare in the world.

"Burning Heart Gu is a Gu species raised by the Dilian Clan, a hidden tribe. The Dilian Clan originally lived in a mysterious canyon near the East China Sea. They are good at Gu art and alchemy. Few people have seen them walking in the world. Their Gu-controlling techniques are so powerful that we monster races sometimes hide away when we see them."

Hu Tao'er explained solemnly, occasionally nodding to express her admiration for the Dilian people.

"Among the thousands of Gu species, the Heart Gu is the most respected, and as far as I know in this world, there are three types of Heart Gu. According to legend, the Earth Refining Clan supports two of them, one is Burning Heart Gu, One is the Heart-eating Gu, but it is not as powerful as the Chilling Gu of the Bai family of the southern demon clan."

"What you have on you is the Chilling Gu nourished by the Yaozu Bai family..."

As she said that, Hu Tao'er looked at Xiao Yu, her expression became more serious.

As soon as he heard that there was a Chilling Gu on Xiao Yu's body, Qin Lin immediately showed concern, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Hu Tao'er with his hand.

"I know what you want to say, but you are too lazy, you can save these words and talk to her slowly, I don't want to hear them!"

"But don't worry, she's fine, and she's fine. This Gu is really rare. I heard that there are only three in the entire Sifangjizhou, and not all of them are alive, and one of them is on her body... That's a long time. A good thing that can make your cultivation reach the sky!"

Hu Tao'er explained, even showing a little envy.

But even so, Qin Lin's heart was still full of worries. Although Hu Tao'er disliked his ink marks, he still spoke after thinking about it for a moment.

"The chilling heart Gu has an antidote?"

His question made the carriage suddenly quiet, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, and Hu Tao'er immediately rolled her eyes at him.

She sighed softly, but Xiao Yu suddenly made fun of her again, so Hu Tao'er held her chin and thought about it for a while.

"I'm afraid I'm going to the Oasis Realm, the demon realm in the far south, to seek the antidote to the Bai Family. But this Chilling Heart Gu is different from the Burning Heart Gu. The heat and poison of the Burning Heart Gu spreads all over the body, and the whole body is in pain like a burn, while the Chilling Heart Gu, When it happened, my whole body was cold, as if I was in an ice cave..."

Speaking of this, Hu Tao'er paused, and then looked at Qin Lin with great interest, with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, this smile made Xiao Yu secretly think that something was wrong.

"However, maybe there are hugs and hugs from the one you love, and she will be pampered and loved like a baby, filling her heart with warmth and hope, and generally it will not happen. Young master, I am optimistic. you……"

While talking, Hu Tao'er hugged herself with both hands, showing a face full of intoxication.

Xiao Yu was speechless when she heard Hu Taoer's nonsense, and quickly kicked her.

Naturally, she knew in her heart that there was no solution to the chilling Gu, and she didn't know whether it was true that the Bai family might have a solution to the Gu as Hu Tao'er said, but what Hu Tao'er was talking about was the embrace of a loved one. Hug, talking to Ben is nonsense.

Although Xiao Yu didn't believe it, Qin Lin's expression clearly believed it!

Qin Lin was sitting opposite to Xiao Yu at this time, his brows were tightly frowned, his hands on his legs were clenched into fists, he was thinking something in his heart, his expression clearly showed a great determination.

Xiao Yu felt melancholy in her heart, she really dared to speak and believe it!
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of a large house.

"Second Lord, the Mei family is here." The servant said respectfully outside the carriage, and quickly set up the horse stool.

A group of people got out of the carriage quickly, and under the leadership of Qin Lin, Xiao Yu and the others walked unimpeded all the way, and soon entered the Mei family compound.

As soon as she stepped into the Mei family compound, Hu Tao'er quickly covered her mouth and nose with her hands, as if she smelled something unpleasant, which made her frown together, and cleared her throat from time to time.

Lin Keqing floated down from Xiao Yu's head at this time, and suddenly rushed to the front, her eyes quickly scanned the courtyard, the blue eyes kept flickering, and then she also showed a dignified expression.

"There is a breath of death in this courtyard. This kind of breath is emitted when people are dying and struggling between life and death. It makes people feel desperate when they smell it... The direction... is over there!"

Lin Keqing seemed to be afflicted by the "death energy", covering his nose with his sleeve with one hand, and pointing inward with the other.

"It's too bad. I smelled rotten flesh when I first came in. It's even more disgusting than the tomb of demons who have lost their souls. It seems that the flesh and bones are rotten, and the smell has been soaked in blood for a long time... It is indeed The direction Xiaoqing pointed to is correct."

Hu Tao'er covered her mouth and nose, and pointed towards a courtyard inside.

Xiao Yu looked in the direction the two were pointing at. Her senses were fully opened at this time, and the appearance of the Mei family compound soon appeared in her mind.

This place is much bigger than the Qin family, so it can be seen that its wealth is even higher than that of the Qin family. It is worthy of being the number one imperial merchant in the Huoli country.

But in this huge house, there is a very strange energy.

This kind of energy is relatively thin in the place where Xiao Yu and the others are currently located, but the closer to a courtyard inside, the more intense it becomes.

This kind of energy presents black and red and alternate colors. It feels like flames, and it also looks like a gloomy air. It cannot be condensed into spiritual power, but it is released from the courtyard inside. It seems that it will not hurt people at present. .

It was almost noon at this time, and it was lunch time, but the Mei family compound was unusually deserted, and even the servants who came and went could not see it, forming a very sharp contrast with the Qin family.

Xiao Yu looked back at Qin Lin and confirmed the direction with him.

"These two genius doctors are right. That's Yu'er's courtyard. Uncle should be there at this time. I'll take you in to meet him directly."

As he said that, Qin Lin took the first step, leading Xiao Yu and the others towards the inside.

If there was no such thing as Mei Yuer, the Mei family compound would be a very unique and huge mansion, with a quiet courtyard, clear springs and flowing water, countless exotic flowers and plants, and occasionally a rockery carved with the opposite sex. The sense of miniature, every place has the traces of the owner's careful arrangement.

It's a pity that the weird energy has polluted the layout here a lot, so that the people present have no intention to appreciate the beautiful scenery in front of them, and everyone's spirit is attracted by a courtyard.

Walking along the gravel path with seven turns and eight turns, I don't know how many landscapes I automatically overlooked before my eyes, and I have come to the courtyard where Mei Yuer is located in a blink of an eye.

This courtyard is located in a secluded part of the Mei Family Courtyard. There is a wooden plaque at the entrance, with four thin characters "Meigu Xiaoyuan" written on it. It looks like a woman's work.

The carefully arranged vines and the flowers above the entrance of the small courtyard also inexplicably decayed, and from this courtyard, the flowers and plants have a tendency to decline and continue to spread.

Under Qin Lin's leadership, the first person Xiao Yu met was Mei Yu'er's father, Mei Shan.Although this person's face is not particularly old, but his hair is already gray, and his eyes are black and blue, his face is haggard, and his eyes are full of despair.

"A Lin is here...these people are..."

As soon as Mei Shan spoke, a hoarse voice came.Mei Shan's voice was full of exhaustion, and he spoke weakly, but there was some relief in his eyes, which showed that Qin Lin's arrival still made him happy.

"Uncle, these are the two miracle doctors I have found recently. This is Doctor Hu, and this is... Doctor Xiao."

Standing in the middle, Qin Lin introduced Hu Taoer and Xiao Yu to Mei Shan very respectfully. However, considering that Mei Shan was not a practitioner, he gave Lin Keqing an apologetic look, and did not introduce her existence.

Lin Keqing also stood a little further away from the old man's house in a very friendly manner, observing the situation in the courtyard by himself.

In Mei Shan's heart, Qin Lin was a reliable person, so the people he brought were trustworthy.But he found that the two little girls in front of him, both of whom looked like they were only 20 years old, how could they become the miraculous doctors that Qin Lin talked about, which made Mei Shan puzzled.

So he looked at Xiao Yu and Hu Tao'er carefully, then looked at their empty hands, and after some hesitation, he still expressed his doubts.

"Ah Lin, these two young girls came here empty-handed, how can they treat my Yu'er?"

Qin Lin was also very filial, he first helped Mei Shan to a comfortable chair, and then he slowly explained.

"Uncle, these two are not ordinary people. They are the female immortals Yuancheng who I have worked so hard to find. They don't come out of the mountain easily. I believe they must have a way to save Yu'er!"

Qin Lin's tone was gentle and slow, and he tried his best to calm Mei Shan's emotions. At the same time, he looked at Hu Tao'er.

Hu Tao'er nodded in response, then took two steps forward.

"Ahem, our time is limited, and we will leave immediately after seeing the reward. Please let us see the patient first, sir."

Hu Tao'er put one hand behind her back, pretending to be dignified and majestic, if there is a strand of beard on her face at this time, she would touch it twice.

Hearing what Hu Tao'er said, Mei Shan was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Qin Lin, as if confirming something, Qin Lin nodded to him.

At this time, Mei Shan also got up from the chair and sighed long.

"Okay...Since it was recommended by Ah Lin, it must be a reliable miracle doctor. Come with me, but please be mentally prepared..."

While talking, Mei Shan walked in front first, his pace was a little fast, obviously a little anxious.

Led by Mei Shan, Xiao Yu and the others quickly came to the room where Hu Taoer was.When the door was opened, an unpleasant stench, mixed with a strong smell of medicine rushed towards him.

Not to mention Hu Taoer and Lin Keqing with sharp noses, even Xiao Yu couldn't help frowning.

"Two fairies, I'm sorry, my Yu'er was rude... Please come inside."

Mei Shan said in a hoarse voice, with an apology on his face.

Even in such a daytime, the room was a bit dim, as if the window paper had been deliberately thickened to prevent light from coming in.

"Have you reached the point where you are afraid of light..."

Hu Tao'er covered her mouth and nose, and muttered softly.Saying that, she walked towards Mei Yuer's bed.

Xiao Yu followed behind him, and as a man, it was really inconvenient for Qin Lin to enter the women's boudoir, and Mei Yu'er was unable to dress in her current condition.

There were two maids in the room, who seemed to have just changed the bedding for the patient, each holding a ball of blood-stained things, greeted them very politely, and went out.

After Mei Shan clasped his fists at Xiao Yu and the others to get rid of them, he also closed the door and avoided them together with Qin Lin.

Hu Taoer came to Mei Yuer's bed first, Xiao Yu followed behind Hu Taoer, and finally saw Mei Yuer after a lot of anticipation.
