Your heart is free

Chapter 187
He Qingnian's eyes were red: "To tell you the truth, young master, my family was originally from a wealthy family with a garden and a luxurious house. My father was a well-known jade carver in Beicang Kingdom, but four years ago he was deceived by his colleagues to a valley, saying that there is no place for him The peerless beautiful jade came out, but he didn’t get the beautiful jade, so he almost couldn’t come back. Fortunately, he met an expert outside the world who showed him the way out. But soon after he came back, his body began to fail, and then his face began to appear. Everyone who saw him was frightened, and the children even said he was a monster. The head of our family held a clan meeting and expelled us. We didn't dare to live in the city anymore, so we found him Here, I built a few houses by myself, and it took more than three years."

Tears flowed from the corners of the old man's eyes, "Father has hurt you. You were originally talented in prospecting, and you should have a bright future."

"Father, I'm your son, so it doesn't matter whether you're involved or not."

Lou Qi's heart skipped a beat: "Prospecting?"

"It's just looking for jade mines or iron mines. I have been interested in this since I was a child, and I can sense it." He Qingnian said with a sad expression: "But it's useless. In the past, they didn't trust me very much."

Lou Qi pondered for a while, "Old man, what did you encounter in the valley you went to?"

The old man closed his eyes and spoke in a weak tone.

Strange valley, like a forest that has turned into a spirit, no matter how you walk in it, you will go around in circles, there will be horrible screams at night, and there are walking bones.

The old man followed the skeleton vaguely, and walked into a hole. He didn't see clearly, and fell into a pool of water.It was only after falling that I realized that the pool of water turned out to be black water.Terrified, he got up and ran out of the cave, only to find more skeletons surrounded the outside.

In the end, he was rescued by an old man with white hair and white beard, but the old man disappeared after showing him the way out. He once suspected that he was a god.

"So, the black energy on your body is not bewitched, it should be related to the black water. Think about it, did you drink the water when you fell into it?" Lou Qi asked.

The old man thought about it carefully, then nodded in shock, "Yes, yes, because of the panic, I must have choked and drank a few sips of water."

"Young master, do you know how to treat it?" He Qingnian looked at her anxiously.

Lou Qi nodded and said: "Let's try it, but if you drank the problematic water, maybe you can induce vomiting and force the black air out with a needle."

"Try, please help, young master!" He Qingnian was about to kneel down towards Lou Qi, and Lou Qi helped him up: "If you don't try, you have to try, already in this situation, if you don't try again, you will probably suffer. "

She read a few things for He Qingnian to prepare. She took out a long needle from her waist and opened it on one side. The long row of silver needles shone softly in the candlelight.

He Qingnian opened the door and came in, followed by Chunniang. One of them was carrying a large pot of hot water, the other was carrying an empty wooden bucket, and the other was holding a small basin of warm water with clean towels soaked in it.

"Young master, the chicken soup is being stewed." Chunniang looked at the row of silver needles with a little trepidation.

"Well, put the things down, and put the empty bucket by the bed. He Qingnian, come here and take off the old man's shirt. Chun Niang, I'll give you this bag, pour half of it into the chicken soup and stew it together, and return the rest Me." Lou Qi touched a small bottle from her waist, which contained blood-enriching medicinal materials, which she brought from the one-eyed warehouse, and she ground or chopped them into pieces for easy carrying.This kind of medicinal material is too precious, and she must take back the rest.

Chun Niang took the little bottle and went out.

He Qingnian took off the old man's shirt, of course he didn't know that Lou Qi was a woman at this time, so there was no psychological burden.And Lou Qi frowned when he saw the old man's body.Thin, abnormally thin, this is really skinny, the shape of the entire skeleton can be clearly seen, where there is still flesh.Such a body needs bloodletting, and I don't know if it can last.

Lou Qi hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and took out another elixir from his waist. As soon as the elixir came out, He Qingnian, who was standing by the side, smelled a faint medicinal fragrance, and he unexpectedly lifted his spirits.

He Qingnian was shocked. After all, he is not a real mountain villager. He will have some knowledge in the future. He knows that such a pill is definitely not an ordinary medicine. Even the fragrance of the medicine has such an effect, let alone taking it?At this moment, he understood why Lou Qi had such a heartache and reluctance just now.

After all, they are just strangers, and they only have such a one-night stay. How can ordinary people be willing to sacrifice such a elixir?

But just as he was about to speak, Lou Qi had already stuffed the medicine into his father's mouth.

"What kind of medicine is this? It's so fragrant."

He Qingnian was actually stronger than before when he heard his father speak.Sure enough, the medicine worked wonders.

Lou Qi is not the kind of good old man who does good deeds without explaining, she said flatly: "This medicine is a great tonic, but its effect is very mild, there is no situation where the body will not be nourished, and the effect is very fast. Old man Your body is too weak, and you will spit out the black blood later, if you don't mend it, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on."

"Thank you, young master, thank you, young master." The father and son heard what she said plainly, but they could also hear that the medicine was precious, and it probably had a price but no market. Now that it was used on him, it was a great kindness up.

"Okay, I'm going to start. After I give the needle, you will have a strong feeling of wanting to vomit. Don't hold back. The bucket is here, spit it all out."

The old man nodded in understanding.

Lou Qi started immediately, her speed was extremely fast, nearly twenty needles were inserted into various acupuncture points in the blink of an eye, her gestures were like dancing, which dazzled He Qingnian.And before his eyes were dazzled, she raised her fingers again and took out all the needles.

Sure enough, the old man immediately propped himself up and lay down on the edge of the bed, vomiting into the bucket.

He vomited blood, but it was all black blood.

While he was vomiting, the blackness on his face gradually faded away, and when he vomited a small bucket of blood, his eyes and complexion really recovered, this time it was morbidly pale.It is normal to be pale. After being ill for so long and unable to see the sun for so long, how could it be possible not to be pale.

Wait, can't see the sun?

Lou Qi just remembered this, his face changed slightly, and a needle in his hand was inserted towards the top of the old man's head.

Soon, a trace of black air marched from the top of his head to his forehead, and it didn't move between his forehead.Lou Qi immediately pierced with a few short needles, trapping the coiled black air.She said to He Qingnian, "Quickly find a leech."

Don't think that what she does is all high-end tools and techniques. Sometimes, those folk remedies in the modern countryside are also effective.

And she did not believe that there would be no leeches here.

He Qingnian also saw the black air wandering away, and hurriedly went out to catch leeches.

In the main room, Fan Changzi, who was about to rest, cursed: "The bitch is so troublesome!"

Nalan Zilin made the bed and sighed: "Master, Zilin go out and have a look, you can rest."

"What are you looking at? There's something to see." Fan Changzi gave him a glare, and went to bed.Nalan Zilin went out, just in time to see He Qingnian hurried into the room on the right with a porcelain bowl, and he followed in without closing the door in time.

He saw Lou Qi took the bowl and poured the contents between the old man's eyebrows, it turned out to be a black leech!As soon as the leech touched the skin, it began to burrow in and suck blood.But instead of sucking blood, it sucked a cloud of black air.

Just when it was about to go all the way in, Lou Qi picked it out with a long needle.

The leech was thrown by her, and it just flew towards him.Nalan Zilin was shocked, and immediately flew back. The black fleshy leech fell to the ground and started to wriggle.

"Burn it to death." Lou Qi frowned, holding back her nausea, she really didn't like this kind of thing, it was extremely disgusting, although it still helped.

As soon as He Qingnian burned the thing, an extremely strong rancid smell wafted out, Lou Qi opened the windows, and the cold wind poured in, but the stench was quickly blown away.

"He, is he alright?" Nalan Zilin saw that the old man's complexion had returned to normal, "Lou Qi, how did you do it?"

"You saw it just now, it was thanks to the leeches, I just happened to know that there is such a way." Lou Qi glanced at He Qingnian.He Qingnian knew that she was telling him not to tell Nalan Zilin what happened, so he nodded to express his understanding.

Nalan Zilin didn't believe it, but he had seen the leech sucking out the black air with his own eyes just now, so he had nothing to say.

He didn't want to stay in the house where the old man had been ill for a long time, so he withdrew again.The old man opened his eyes at this time, and the feeling of icy cold that had been haunting him was gone. Although his body was weak, he didn't feel heavy. He knew that he had been rescued, and tears filled his eyes.

Chun Niang just brought chicken soup, and returned the remaining half bottle of medicine to Lou Qi.Lou Qi opened it and smelled it, and put it away with confidence.

"Take the oil off the top of the soup and give him clear soup."

"Yes, young master, it has already been removed, and I even sucked the vegetable leaves."

Lou Qi nodded.

She walked to the door, suddenly remembered, and asked again: "Old man, does the valley you went to have a name?"

"Yes, it has a name, but I didn't know its name until later. If I had known it earlier, I wouldn't have gone."

"What is your name?"

"Valley of Gods and Demons."

Lou Qi's heart trembled slightly.

The Valley of Gods and Demons turned out to be the Valley of Gods and Demons, the destination of her trip!
Lou Qi went to the room on the left, the bed made out of the tables outside, Chen Shi and Lou Xin were sitting cross-legged and doing exercises, when they heard the door opening, they jumped out of the bed, "Girl, how are you?"

"Well, I've been saved."

He Qingnian brought a bucket of hot water, "Young master, you worked hard in the middle of the night, soak your feet in hot water, and go to get rid of the cold." He knew how cold it was around his father just now, but he didn't expect Lou Qi to be able to stay there. So long.

Lou Xin brought the water to the inside.

"Those should rest early."

"Wait, He Qingnian, your father's health is fine, do you still plan to live here?" Lou Qi asked suddenly.
