The king's fierce concubine: women don't be arrogant

Xi Yan didn't expect them to be so afraid of this child, so she couldn't help asking: "What is he about that makes you so afraid of him?"

Now that the matter has come to an end, the middle-aged man looked at everyone and sighed: "To tell you the truth, this child was originally a good one. He was the only seedling of the village head's family, and his name was Guo Yun. Half a year ago, he came to the village with the children in the village. He drowned in a fish caught in the river, and when he was caught, he was dead. Because he died young, the village head's family built a thin wooden coffin for him, and carried it to the mountain to be buried. The soil was half covered, and suddenly there was a fish in the coffin. There was a noise, the village chief opened the coffin for such a single seedling, regardless of whether it was a dead body or not."

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man glanced at the boy who was led by Xi Yan, and said: "In the end, that night, the villagers saw that the village head brought the boy back. Everyone saw that he was not talkative, and he was as usual as usual. It's no different, just assuming that he was drowned at the time, and he didn't die, the matter is over. Unexpectedly, something happened three months ago."

Maybe it was because that memory left too much pain and fear. The faces of the villagers next to him were all pale, and the middle-aged man said with lingering fear: "The first thing happened was the village chief, who fell ill overnight. The doctor only said it was a cold, but after ten days of treatment, the person died suddenly. After a while, people in the village began to suffer from the same disease one after another, as slow as half a month, as fast as a few days, and no one escaped. Yes. Everyone began to investigate the root cause of the disease, and first thought of the village chief’s family. At that time, besides Guo Huai, there were two other uncles in the village chief’s family, so they asked a doctor to diagnose their pulse. As a result, you guessed it? What's the matter?"

He deliberately paused, took a deep breath, and said, "The doctor must have been so frightened that he passed his breath, because this child has no pulse at all!"

Even though she was mentally prepared, in broad daylight, under the sun, Xi Yan was still terrified by his words, and looked at the boy standing beside her in disbelief.

The boy still lowered his head, and did not refute at all what the middle-aged man said.

However, his hand held in her palm was obviously hot.Xi Yan let go of him questioningly, and moved her fingers towards his wrist.

Sure enough, for a long time, she couldn't feel the pulsation that should have been there.

"Girl, do you believe me now?" The middle-aged man pointed at the boy beside her with a pale face, and said, "He is already dead, he is a devil crawling out of hell, if he is not burned to death He, none of us want to live!"

"No, I never believed that there are ghosts in this world!" Although she was puzzled, Xi Yan immediately stopped him and said, "Uncle, if you want to believe me, why not let me go and see those sick people?" Man, maybe I can find out why."

Seeing everyone's vigilant faces, not daring to relax at all, Xi Yan said again: "Of course, if you want to burn me and him to death, I will resist with all my strength. However, my parents are only my daughter, if they Knowing that I was burned alive by you, I’m afraid I won’t give up with you. They are all famous doctors hidden in the world, and it is easy to avenge me.”

Naturally, Xi Yan's words were made up to scare them, but they were very effective.If this enmity is really formed, people just need to poison them casually, and they won't even know how they died.

After discussing in low voices, they made a decision, saying: "Okay, since you said you are sure to save people, you can try first. If you can't cure them, don't blame us for the sake of our lives. Heartbroken."

Knowing that they believed her temporarily, Xi Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and held the hand of the boy next to her again.

"Aren't you afraid?" He suddenly opened his mouth. Although there was still a hint of childishness in his voice, his tone was as cold as an adult's.

Xi Yan was startled, then just smiled.She is not an ordinary person.

Perhaps, because he felt that she was different from ordinary people, he silently let her lead him and followed her side.After a while, he asked again: "Can you really save them?"

Xi Yan glanced around quietly, these villagers surrounded them to lead the way, but they didn't dare to get too close, so she whispered: "Give it a try, if it doesn't work, let's run."

She is not a famous doctor, she studied medicine just to better protect herself.Although she is somewhat talented in medical skills, she usually only has the opportunity to treat some small animals.The only time he saved someone was when he rescued a boy who was hunted down in the mountains two years ago.

There are too many unfortunate people in this world, she knows what it means to do what she can, and even more, what it means to be wise and protect herself.Parents are dead, she is their only blood, so no matter what happens, she will live on.Even if she had to deceive people to do it, she would do it.

As long as you can live!

Perhaps this consciousness was too strong, she suddenly felt in a trance, the scene in front of her quickly reversed, and in an instant, she seemed to have returned to that dark and empty space.

"Do you want to live?" A voice came from nowhere, whispering in her ear. [

"Yes, no matter what, I want to live." She vaguely heard her own voice answering.

"At any cost?" the voice asked again.

/>

"Yes, I want to live, I don't want to end like this, no matter what the price is, I want to live!" Her voice has never been so firm as at this moment, and all that flashes in her mind is the scene of being buried in the sea of ​​fire.

She was unwilling to end like this, the one who should pay the price was him!Devil's Secret Art!

"Okay, I'll help you." In the darkness, the man said faintly.

"Who are you?" She asked in surprise, but there was no sound around her.

What the hell is this place?Just as she was wondering, her feet suddenly became empty, and she fell down weightlessly.

"Ah..." Amidst the exclamation, Mu Lan suddenly opened her eyes.The sudden light caused her to close her eyes immediately, and her body seemed to have finally returned to the ground at that moment.

There was no terrible bone shattering sound as expected, no pain, and, most importantly, she finally didn't have to stay in that dark world anymore.

After a long while, she collected herself before Mu Lan opened her eyes again.This time, he had gradually adapted to the light, and he was finally able to see the surrounding environment clearly.

This is a hut with simple but clean furnishings. Under her body is a spacious bamboo bed covered with a clean floral quilt.The sunlight shines through the bamboo outside the house and enters the house from the open door, casting dappled light spots on the ground, which also makes the whole house look bright and comfortable.

Where is she?Mu Lan frowned, and tried to sit up with support. As soon as she got up, she felt her head was heavy. This feeling was like sleeping for too long, which was very uncomfortable.

Suddenly, the closed door creaked open, and a familiar figure walked towards her with the backlight.

"Xifeng?" After recognizing the person, Mu Lan immediately felt at ease. She rubbed her brows and asked impatiently, "Where are we? What's wrong with me?"

Xi Feng walked to the side of the bed, handed the bowl in his hand to her lips, and said, "You just woke up, drink some ginseng soup first."
