twin moon

Chapter 124 No.15 Scene [-]

"Sister Jia, brother Zeming, why are you also tied up?!"

The boy in white who was brought down the cliff bumped into Leng Jiayun and Mo Zeming who were also pushed and shoved by the crowd, as well as the crew members who escaped from Yunzhi. He felt a thump in his heart, realizing that the situation had completely gotten out of control.

"People are not guilty of whispering!"

An islander punched Qi Ziyin's vest so hard that his eyes turned black from the pain.But the young man still gritted his teeth, turned his head and shouted at him:

"What are we guilty of?"

But the other party stared at him immediately, raised his hand and slapped his face: "You still refuse to confess your guilt when you are about to die? It is clear that you outsiders brought that terrible disease to the island, which killed so many people! You must pay the price today!"

"Yes, let them pay the price, the blood debt must be paid with blood!" The surrounding islanders also shouted.Obviously, their actions this time were not intentional, but premeditated.

Due to being away from the mainland for a long time, nearly half of the islanders are extremely lacking in etiquette.In addition, there is no law on the island, and everything runs on simple but fragile interpersonal relationships.Today, driven by fear, people have long lost their minds.Qi Ziyin knew that if he didn't try to persuade the other party at this time, he might not even have the chance to speak later, so he immediately raised his voice and said:

"Please think about it carefully, if this is really what we did, how could we be easily caught by you today? Now, like everyone else, we are always under the threat of death, and we also want to find a cure for this monster as soon as possible. sick way!"

However, the islanders around him couldn't listen to a single word the young man said: "Don't pretend to be a good person in front of us! Now nearly [-]% of the people on the island are seriously ill, only you, a group of foreigners. You are safe and sound so far. If it was not premeditated, why is it so coincidental that God is protecting you?"

"How could it be you, Du Hang! Hurry up and order him to be released! Do you think that these days, I am taking care of your wife and children by the bed day and night, and I want to harm them instead?"

Leng Jiayun recognized the young islander who was arguing with the boy in white.His father was also a school lieutenant under Xiang Baili's command back then, so they knew each other well.

The woman's scolding immediately made the young islander stop talking, and lowered his head falteringly:
"Miss Leng, I am very grateful to you for taking care of your wife and youngest son these days. But now the people of the peninsula have decided that you did this. Even if I let you go, no one else will agree!"

Seeing that the purple-clothed woman stopped her for a while, Qi Ziyin hurriedly continued to persuade her: "But have you ever thought that if this matter really has nothing to do with us, not only will this move not help the matter now, but it will delay the time to find the antidote? !"

"Finding an antidote is not as easy as it sounds! Besides, how do we know that you are not delaying time?"

"Could it be that after killing us, you plan to let your relatives and friends get seriously ill every day! At least the medicinal materials we brought on board have allowed many people on the island to survive until today, right?"

Finally, the teenager managed to sway some of the islanders.They argued for a long time, and then they loosened the bondage on Qi Ziyin and the others, and Du Hang came forward and continued to ask: "Then what are you going to do?"

"Give me three days, if you can't find the antidote within three days, then let me deal with it!"

The boy in white responded accordingly.However, his answer was beyond everyone's expectations, and even Du Hang was taken aback by his determination without any hesitation.

When the woman in purple heard this, her face changed drastically.She didn't understand why Qi Ziyin would give such a stretched time limit, so she immediately leaned forward and whispered in his ear:
"Only three days? Ziyin, are you sure you don't need more days?"

Qi Ziyin nodded resolutely: "I have a good idea about this matter. As long as Sister Jia is willing to help me, there should be enough time. Besides, the strange disease will not stop waiting for us."

"What number do you have? In just three days, even if I can help you, where should we go to find the antidote?!"

Leng Jiayun wanted to say more, but no matter how much she tried to persuade her, the boy in white would change his words again.Seeing this, the islanders immediately stopped them from discussing:
"That's three days. If you can't come up with an antidote after three days, I will make you look good!"

Qi Ziyin nodded, and then looked at the worried woman next to him again: "I have another request, that the two of us must be allowed to freely enter and leave all parts of the island, including the white house where the ancient books are hidden. tower."

"No. If the two of you plan to sneak away, wouldn't we be fooled?"

The islanders immediately shook their heads.Hearing this, Mo Zeming also suddenly opened his mouth to help.

"I am willing to be kept as a hostage. I am Ziyin's best friend, and I have saved his life before. He will definitely not abandon me and escape alone."

In the impression of the boy in white, the other party rarely showed up for more than half a year, but was moved by his unconditional trust.The islanders who hesitated again and again nodded in agreement.

Now that he was free, Qi Ziyin didn't say any more, and immediately pulled up the woman beside him and ran towards the White Pagoda on the top of the island - he was going to ask the scholars in the pagoda for advice, and he planned to find out from among those classics. To the clues about the rampant disease!
The two walked on the road against the cold wind, and from time to time they would see islanders who had fallen to the side of the road due to illness.After all, Leng Jiayun had feelings for Qingwan, her heart felt sour, and she burst into tears.However, people didn't appreciate it, instead they would scold him loudly and not let him approach easily.

The woman had no choice but to wrap her clothes tighter, and walked up the stairs with her head down without saying a word.The road to the destination suddenly became extremely long. When the two climbed to the bottom of the tower, she finally couldn't bear it anymore. Before she could catch her breath, she stretched out her hand and grabbed the young man who was about to open the door:

"Ziyin, where did you get the confidence to promise that you will find a cure for the strange disease of the islanders in three days?"

Qi Ziyin didn't stop because of this, and explained while pulling the mechanism on the door: "I have reason to believe that this terrible disease may be caused by someone intentionally planting some kind of witchcraft on the island."

"Witchcraft? Where did you come up with such a far-fetched reason?"

Leng Jiayun didn't believe these words at all, she shook her head and continued to question.But the young man in white didn't answer immediately, but reached into his arms, and took out the small bag of black crystals that the other party gave him:
"I'm afraid Sister Jia doesn't know it yet. Ever since someone on the island got sick, these sea monster tears have been emitting a strange light. The light can only be seen on a clear night when the twin moons are in the sky, and few people will notice it. .”

As he spoke, he picked up a black crystal from the bag with two fingers.It happened that the twin moons were in the sky, and the woman in purple really saw a faint stream of light surging inside the translucent black crystal, and her face suddenly became serious:

"But how can you be sure that there must be a connection between the two?"

"I'm not quite sure about this. But if these sea monster tears are really the medium for the curse, then this disease may have something to do with the secrets left by the ancestors on the island. So right now, get rid of this witchcraft as soon as possible The hope of the Gu spell may be hidden somewhere in this white tower!"

"But what if we can't find the answer in these three days?"

"General Baili once taught me that making decisions before the battle is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Now, no matter how early or later, we are all betting against our fate. What's more, including Du Hang's wife and children The most acutely ill islanders in the island may have at most two or three days left. If they don’t find a way to rescue them as soon as possible, they will all have a dead end!”

"Have you ever thought about it, what if you think wrong from the beginning?"

"This disease came quickly and quickly. If it is really wrong, then we will probably die with these islanders. After all, it is impossible to leave this island now, so everyone must be cured, or die or be killed. Kill. There is no third way in front of us."

The woman in purple widened her eyes, and looked at the decisive boy in front of her in disbelief.Although everything is still a little difficult to accept, she understands that this child whom she has known for many years and treats her as her own, already has the consciousness of life and death, and even carries the life and death of Qingwan on her shoulders!
In this way, Leng Jiayun accompanied the young man, humbly consulted some old scholars in the White Pagoda who had not yet contracted the disease, and started a race against time.The young man was gifted and intelligent, sensitive and inquisitive, and soon mastered the method of reading and understanding the ancient books.For three days, he was always immersed in those obscure words, without sleep or rest, all night long.And this time, good luck seems to have come to him.

In the early morning of the third day, Qi Ziyin, whose eyes had already grown thick and black, suddenly woke up the woman who had fallen asleep unconsciously, and his excitement was beyond words:
"Sister Jia, sister Jia, I have found a way! As long as the liver of the blue blood can be obtained as a medicine, and then boiled with ephedra, dried ginger, asarum, pinellia and other herbs, it should be able to cure this strange disease Already!"

"Blue blood liver?"

After learning the news, Leng Jiayun couldn't be happy at all.Because she knew that although the other medicines were very common, this blue blood was a rare ancient fish that had been recorded since the time of the ancestors. It was extremely rare and could only be caught in the cold deep sea in the north of Jinghui Bay.Now that the surrounding areas of Qingwan are frozen and boats cannot sail, how can we go out to sea to catch them?

As if guessing what the other person was thinking, Qi Ziyin hastily added:
"Qingwan is not far from Jinghui Bay. It is recorded in the books of the ancestors that this fish likes to eat fresh blood. It is winter now, and the fish should go south to look for food. If we go to the ice outside the island Cut a few holes in the palm, and drop the blood into the water after cutting the palm, maybe it can attract it. Without further ado, let's set off immediately!"

The woman from Dongli knew that no matter what the cost was, this might be the only chance left in the whole Qingwan right now, so she had to try her best.So she immediately prepared tools for opening holes in the ice, and together with the boy in white, rushed to the ice floe outside the island, which was several miles wide.

There are no shoals around Qingwan, and beneath the ice is bottomless water like ink.Without the help of other islanders, the two spent a lot of effort to carve out a bowl-sized hole on the one-foot-thick ice.

Qi Ziyin pulled out the dagger he had prepared from his waist.Right now, he is not sure what the result will be.He couldn't help but prayed secretly from the bottom of his heart before slashing the blade towards his palm.

A few drops of bright red blood fell into the ice cave and immediately disappeared in the sea water.As if feeling that this bit of blood wouldn't be of much use at all, the boy in white clenched his wrist tightly and squeezed the wound.There were bursts of tingling in the palm of his hand, but he didn't care, he just stared at the surface of the water that had once again formed a layer of hoarfrost with those golden eyes without blinking.

Suddenly, something swam quickly from under the ice hole.It seems that although its size is not big, its movements are much faster than sharks.Qi Ziyin didn't seem to have expected that things would go so smoothly, and he was overjoyed, and quickly squeezed out a few drops of blood.Hearing a whoosh, the thing under the water suddenly accelerated, jumped up along the blood line in mid-air, and bit the boy's hand straight from under the ice hole!
"Hooked!"

Qi Ziyin quickly withdrew his hand, and kicked the blue blood away from the ice cave with a volley, for fear that it would escape back into the sea again.

The fish left the water and struggled even on the ice.I saw it was more than three feet long, slender like an eel, but its body was black and blue, and its fins were as wide as a bird's wing.The lower jaw is more protruding than the upper lip, and the sharp teeth like a hacksaw are exposed, the eyes are protruding, and the face is ferocious.

The boy chased after the strange fish and ran for a long distance, only then seized the opportunity to raise the knife and use the dagger to nail the head of the fish to the ice.Under the severe pain, Blue Blood's body wrapped around his forearm like a snake, the strength was so great that it almost split the bones.But the young man in white didn't dare to let go, he raised his foot to step on the fish's head, and held the fish's tail tightly with his other hand, pulled out the dagger, and then slashed at the soft belly of the fish.

The strange fish had its belly cut open and gradually stopped struggling.Qi Ziyin's white shirt was also stained blue and purple, including his own blood and blue blood.

Afterwards, he reached out and took out an organ the size of a chicken egg from the dissected fish belly.Its color is blue and green, but it is as clear as a thousand-year-old black ice. It emits strange fluorescence under the faint winter sun at dusk. It is the liver of blue blood.

"Found it, finally found it!"

The boy in white excitedly held the precious medicine in his palm, intending to tell the good news to Leng Jiayun who was traveling with him.However, before he got up, he heard an exclamation from behind, and it was his companion shouting a warning:

"Ziyin run away!"

He had focused all his attention on Lan Xue before, but only now did he realize that there were several figures on the ice behind him at some point—it was actually Du Hangtong who was quietly following behind the two of them. A few islanders!Leng Jiayun was captured by the opponent in a blink of an eye, and her mouth was gagged by a ball of sackcloth.

The boy's heart trembled, and he turned around and wanted to flee towards the island, but suddenly he heard a "woo" sound, it was the other team who was ambushing and hit him hard on the back of the head with a wooden stick, and his legs softened and he knelt fell to the ground.

"My wife and children, as well as the relatives of these people, all died of illness after sunrise! But you, you two who promised to find the antidote, actually still have the intention to dig ice here fishing!"

Du Hang's eyes were red and swollen, and he roared with a hoarse voice.As he spoke, he pulled out a dagger made of obsidian from the back of his waist, with a fierce look in his eyes, he planned to execute the two of them on the ice on the spot.

Qi Ziyin's lips moved, eager to tell the other party that he had found the medicine, but he was so weak that he couldn't even make a sound, and could only watch the angry crowd surround him.
