[69 Book Bar - www.] The old Chinese doctor rolled her eyelids and took her pulse again. While listening quietly, a solemn expression deepened between her brows.
"Have you had any nightmares recently? What were you dreaming about?"
"Yes." He Yining said almost without thinking, "Snake."
The old Chinese medicine doctor nodded slightly, the wrinkles on his face jumping slightly, "Do you know about Gu?"
As soon as these words came out, the two people's hearts sank. Gu Nianxi couldn't help but hold He Yining's hand tightly, her eyes darkened, "She once came into contact with a wizard who knew how to cast poison, and he came from the Miao border."
"That's right." The old Chinese doctor firmly pinched the beard on his chin, "There are various signs that this girl has been bitten by a snake."
"Snake Gu?"
When she first heard these two words, her palms were filled with cold sweat unconsciously. She knew about golden silkworm voodoo, but she didn't know about snake voodoo.
"Girl, think carefully, did the wizard let you eat or drink anything?"
He Yining thought for a moment and immediately remembered that when she first met Yuan Jing, she invited her to drink the bowl of red blood rose tea, and asked her what her relationship was with Tang Yanxi, saying that she hated this face. It turned out that at that time, she had already
The tea was poisoned, and her resentment towards Tang Yanxi, no, it should be her desire for power has made her bloodthirsty and crazy, and she will not let go even if it is just a similar face.
He Yining shivered all over. Thinking of the bowl of tea that still had some fragrance, he couldn't help but feel nauseated.
"I drank her tea."
"You probably got the poison at that time. This kind of poison will always be lurking in your body. By the time you can feel it, it is already uncontrollable. Medically, there is no reliable explanation for it.
I have been practicing medicine for more than 50 years and have only come across three such cases."
"Then they ended up...?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor gave her a meaningful look and said, "They are all dead."
"Doctor." Gu Nianxi suddenly spoke at this moment, "Is there any way to get rid of this poison?"
"It's actually very simple. As long as you find the person who caused the poison, you can naturally resolve it."
My heart sank a little more instantly, "What if this person...had died long ago?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor shook his head helplessly, "Then there is nothing we can do. As the saying goes, the person who untied the bell must tie the bell."
Yuan Jing is dead, and it has become impossible for her to get rid of the poison.
The old Chinese medicine doctor continued: "When the snake poison attacks, life is worse than death. In the end, it will torture people until they are skinny and bones, and their facial features will be deformed. Moreover, most people who are poisoned by snake poison will cause neurological abnormalities, lose control of their behavior, hurt their family members, and hurt themselves."
"No, there must be a way."
Gu Nianxi pulled He Yining up and left. He didn't want to hear any words like "nothing can be done". They had already experienced so many hardships together, and they would not be defeated by a little snake Gu.
, if there is a way, there must be some other way.
The wind outside blew across his face like a knife. He held her hand tightly and walked forward without saying a word. There were old city walls on both sides, and on the street corner were snack stalls selling breakfast, and there were all kinds of shouts.
Soothing to the ears.
He Yining was led by him, walking faster and faster, and finally she couldn't hold on any longer, so she couldn't help shouting: "Gu Nianxi, I'm tired."
He suddenly stopped, and the sadness in his eyes passed by, turning into dust and pressing into his eyes, making it unnoticeable.
"Are you hungry? Shall we have something to eat?" He frowned and looked calm, as if what just happened had not affected him at all.
"Kind of."
He chose a breakfast restaurant, and the two of them sat in a temporary tent and ate city B's famous burnt rings and bean juice. The burnt rings were fried with noodles and were very crispy. When they ate, they soaked in the bean juice and had a unique flavor.
He didn't eat, but just watched her eat quietly, with a satisfied look like a kitten getting its beloved fish. It's easy to make a woman happy, you just need to fill her stomach first.
He Yining ate the burnt ring, raised his head from the heat, and saw that he was staring at her for a moment. He smiled sheepishly and said, "What are you looking at?"
Is her eating appearance too unsightly?
"It's nothing." He changed his usual venomous tone and stretched out his long fingers to wipe away the trace of gray-green at the corner of her mouth, his eyes as gentle as the morning sun.
He Yining smiled and lowered his head so that his long bangs blocked his sight, hiding a hint of sadness there.
Yuan Jing died, her snake poison could not be removed, and she spent the rest of her days just waiting to die slowly. They made a tacit agreement not to mention this matter, but hoped that things would turn around.
She took a bite of the soaked coke ring, and her mouth was filled with a bitter taste.
"You eat first, I'll buy a pack of cigarettes." Gu Nianxi stood up and strode out.
He Yining didn't see him coming back after eating, so he had to sit here and wait. Soon, a pair of big, cool hands appeared on his shoulders, "Let's go."
There was an extra bag of things in his hand, with the words "Yitang Zhai" written on it.
He explained: "The old Chinese doctor prescribed the medicine."
She is a doctor, and she understands that these drugs can only temporarily suppress the disease and treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
"Aren't you going to climb the Great Wall?"
Can she still climb up like this? She feels tired even after taking a few steps.
"Go, it's rare to come to City B."
Maybe it was the last time. She wanted to be a "hero" and not have any regrets in this life.
Arriving at the foot of the Great Wall, Gu Nianxi stood behind a long queue to buy tickets. Even in winter, there were not many tourists here, but everyone was in high spirits.
He Yining stood not far away, his hands wrapped in his gloves, which still carried his body temperature. He stood in the crowd, always so conspicuous. Under the black handmade hat, a handsome face showed impatience. This
Waiting in line is really difficult for his impatient temper.
Finally it was his turn. He paid and took the ticket. He looked at it in his hand first, then raised his head and looked for her shadow in the crowd. She deliberately hid behind the stone to prevent him from seeing her, but at that moment she
Instantly, she saw the heavy uneasiness and loss in his eyes, as if the child had lost the most beloved thing, and the whole person became helpless. He stood there and looked around, and the lonely shadow made her feel so distressed that she almost cried.
In the future, if she was gone, she would have to leave him alone like this. She was unwilling to leave him behind and let him live alone for the rest of his life.
He Yining ran over and hugged him tightly. She didn't want to let go. She wanted to hold him like this for the rest of her life.
Gu Nianxi suppressed all her uneasiness and patted her back gently, then slapped her butt like a small punishment, "Stupid woman, where did you go?"
She just shook her head and rubbed her face against his chest, regardless of whether there were people coming or going here.
He caressed her face, his brows filled with indescribable affection and heartache, "He Yining, you are not allowed to leave my sight again in the future, do you understand?"
"Yes." She nodded gently, tears welling up in her eyes.
As expected, she couldn't climb the Great Wall. She had just walked a short distance before she couldn't walk anymore. She squatted there and acted like a fool, "Gu Nianxi, I can't go up anymore. I'm so tired."
He knelt down and stroked the hair from her forehead, "You're worthless, didn't you say you wanted to take pictures up there?"
"I can't walk anymore!"
"You can't leave, and I still have you." He turned around in front of her and turned his strong back to her, "I said that as long as I can move, I will carry you on my back forever."
She looked at the back in front of her which was not very generous and even looked thin, but it gave her an endless sense of security. Without hesitation, she put her arms around his neck and climbed up.
The stretching Great Wall, with vast mountains and fields on both sides, he climbed step by step with her on his back. Everything around him seemed to become the scenery and background. Every step he took was very steady and steady, as if he kept walking for a lifetime.
