After I traveled through the book, I gained a humanoid pendant

Micro pulse.

It is extremely thin and soft, and it feels like it is about to break when pressed, and it seems to be there and not there.

If I have to make an analogy, it's a bit like the few spots of oil on a bowl of clear soup used to stir-fry. When facing the light and the angle is right, they are there, but at first glance, it's as if they're not there.

Ni Yangzhou felt that the food metaphor that he suddenly thought of was very apt.

The man nodded: "You are serious about your work and have a compassionate heart, not bad."

Qing Twelve couldn't help but reveal a huge smile on his fair face, his mouth almost stretched to the back of his head.

The immortal, who had always been taciturn, cold and indifferent, actually praised him.

Qing Twelve looked at the figure turning and leaving in front of him, his eyes unwilling to leave for a long time.

According to the order, we arrived at room 32.

As Ni Yangzhou walked along, he saw rooms with open doors. Most of the medicine boys inside were collecting clothes and wiping tables and chairs.

Children from wealthy families would not be sent for drug testing, so these people had already learned to adapt to the darkness and could simply take care of themselves in unfamiliar places.

And door number 32 was closed.

Ni Yangzhou knocked.

"Xiao Liu?"

The child on the bed in the room was originally staring blankly at the purse in his arms.

He always kept this purse in his arms and touched it several times with care.

Yes, a few times, but I didn’t dare to touch it more than that.

His hands were rough, with scars of varying sizes. The frostbite from the winter had only slightly healed after he came to the palace in the past few days.

Also, because of the medicinal bath, I got some blisters.

It's itchy if you don't touch it, and it hurts if you touch it.

He didn't know whether these blisters would bleed if scratched, and he couldn't see the bleeding. If they touched his purse, it would dirty it.

So he kept enduring it.

Even though his condition was most similar to the Second Prince's and he was the most tolerant and did not scream in pain like the other children, he still soaked the water two more times than the others, just to see the effect on the Second Prince.

The second prince was frightened, feeling both fearful and pitiful. He gave Min Liu, who was in the medicine bucket, a plate of snacks and hurriedly begged the queen not to treat him. Then the queen sent him to the Star Observatory. +

Now, he has his own room and has just cleaned his hands.

Min Liu carefully touched his palms and fingers to make sure there were no barbs that could scratch the purse and no broken blisters, then he slowly picked up the thin little purse.

The fabric was very good, smooth to the touch, like delicate skin, but I didn't know what color it was. On the front of the purse, there was a small Tai Chi diagram embroidered.

Min Liu touched the small raised dots and felt like he was touching his own uneasy heart.

Will I see him again?

Just then, Ni Yangzhou's voice was heard outside the door.

"Xiao Liu?"

Ni Yangzhou called again and knocked on the door gently.

There was a sound of something falling from inside the house.

Ni Yangzhou listened attentively, fearing that the other party might do something bad, so he pushed the door open without thinking much.

The child in front of me was half-kneeling on the ground, panic in his big eyes.

I walked too fast and tripped over the small wooden screen.

"Are you okay?"

Ni Yangzhou walked closer, raised his arms, and lifted the other person up.

"No...it's okay."

"Thank you, brother."

Min Liu blushed all the way down to her neck.

Ni Yangzhou took a closer look and found that the other person was indeed a boy. It was dark at night and he couldn't see clearly. Now that he was closer, he found that there was a very small bulge on Min Liu's neck.

That should be the Adam's apple.

This...how old are you to have a Adam's apple?

Ni Yangzhou smiled and said, "Do you have to say thank you to me every time you see me?"

The red on Min Liu's body spread to his ears.

“Every time you help me…”

Ni Yangzhou stopped teasing the child and asked:

"How old?"

During the initial screening in the front hall, only a few people who were obviously adults were screened out, and there was no time to ask about their age.

Min Liu stood up straight and looked up at the source of the voice:

"Ten years old."

Ni Yangzhou subconsciously compared the child's height and found that he was only a little higher than his waist.

"Ten years old? Only this tall?"

When Min Liu heard this, he suddenly lowered his head.

"Hey, I'm not..."

Ni Yangzhou suddenly felt that his character was a little broken. He spoke too familiarly and naturally, which was not good.

Maybe it was because the other party only saw him as a child and did not think he was cautious.

Ni Yangzhou coughed and said, "I didn't mean that. It's just that you are still young and need to eat more and exercise more to strengthen your body."

Min Liu lowered his head, and his expression could not be seen.

When Ni Yangzhou wanted to pull the other person's face up to see, Min Liu whispered:

"it is good."

The plain wooden screen in the room was small and light, and it was indeed easy to trip when placed in front of the window. Ni Yangzhou picked it up and moved it aside.

"Come on, sit down, and I'll take your pulse."

Ni Yangzhou sat on the stool and put his hands on the small round table. Min Liu hesitated for a few seconds and walked over.

Originally, Ni Yangzhou wanted to reach out his hand to lead the other person over, but he didn't expect the other person to walk steadily. When he came closer, he stretched out his hand to touch the table, stood steadily, and also stretched out his hand.

Ni Yangzhou pulled Min Liu to sit on another chair and asked him to roll up his sleeves.

There was a circle of white edge on the cuffs of the dark blue eunuch's uniform. When Ni Yangzhou lifted it up, he saw bloodstains on the white edge of Min Liu's sleeves.

The young Taoist priest who was sitting upright frowned.

Ni Yangzhou avoided the wound and took his pulse.

Relying on the body's memory, I was able to take the pulse.

Most people with this kind of pulse condition, who are weak and sick, and have complicated and accumulated qi, have to stay in bed and cannot get up, but this child can still move freely.

Min Liu stood straight with his lips tightly pursed.

"you……"

Ni Yangzhou paused for a moment, and did not say everything, but just asked:

"Have you ever been ill before? When did your eyes become sick?"

Min Liu did not raise his eyes. If those phoenix eyes could see, their gaze would have been on Ni Yangzhou's waist.

But now he can't see anything.

"I haven't been sick. I only catch a cold occasionally, but I just stay under a blanket and sweat it out at home."

Maybe she had given birth before, but children from poor families would not go to see a doctor unless they were paralyzed in bed. Min Liu felt that even if he had been sick before, he had survived, so he felt that there was nothing wrong with him.

"Eyes are like this from birth."

"My grandfather...found me when he was fishing. We thought I had drowned, but after patting him a few times and choking on the water, I found myself alive."

"Grandpa said that maybe he was abandoned because he was born blind."

Ni Yangzhou felt sad when he heard this.

"What about your grandfather? There are still many vacancies in the temple. You can bring the old man over."

Min Liu had never been to school and didn't know how to speak in a tactful and elegant way.

He said: "Dead."

Ni Yangzhou tightened his grip a little.

"After taking the medicine, I still didn't feel better. I kept coughing, and finally I stopped coughing up blood."

"I buried my grandfather in the back hill."

Min Liu felt that he should stop and stop talking.

The brother just asked one question and kept talking as if he wanted to say everything in his chest.

But I couldn't help it.

Before I could say the next sentence, tears came out.

Ni Yangzhou's heart tightened, looking at the other person who was obviously ten years old, but short and thin, not as strong as people of the same age. He also had blisters all over his body and old scars on his hands.

His big eyes were without light, and when big tears flowed out of his eye sockets, he looked so pitiful that it was heartbreaking.

Ni Yangzhou silently hugged Min Liu who was crying silently.

After thinking about it for a while, I realized that the system said that there was no time limit for the task, and the man made a rare promise.

Min Liu stiffened his body and smelled the more refreshing sandalwood. The other party's gentle voice came to his ears.

他 说:

"Don't cry."

"I'll take care of you."
