Pine Forest Town Station.

Snow fell from the lead-gray clouds, like a flock of pure white butterflies, staggering to the ground in the howling cold wind.

The brazier burned all night, and only the sporadic flames remained.

At his feet lay a large black dog, with its front paws folded, its head drooping, and occasionally barking a few times, as if in a sweet dream.

It's almost dawn.

At that moment, there was a dull knock on the door from outside, like a stone surrendering to the surface of the water in the silent night, disturbing the peace of the night.

"Who?" said the little servant, who was half-asleep and half-awake, poked his head out of the quilt and shouted a few indistinctly towards the door.

"Shouldn't I have hit a ghost in the middle of the night......" There was no answer for a while, and the little official listened sideways for a moment, muttered and retracted his head, wrapped his head in a quilt, covered his ears, and fell asleep again.

I didn't sleep for an hour.

The servants of the guests who had arrived at the inn yesterday had already woken up, and began to pack their belongings, feed their horses, and prepare for the pilgrimage, but they moved with great care, lest they disturb their master, who was still asleep.

"I don't know where I'm going to be an official, but I look like a son of a family!" After being woken up, it was rare to sleep again, and the little official simply changed his clothes, wrapped in a thick cotton robe and swayed with his big black dog to open the door.

"Lang Jun got up so early!" the lady who spoke wrapped her hair in a turban embroidered with blue satin embroidered branches and white plums, and couldn't help but intervene and salute when she saw the little official come out.

"Mrs. Zhou is also early. The little official smiled when he saw her greet him, "When will you leave?"

"The little boy is still sleeping, Lang Jun said that he will have to wait for a while, it was so snowy last night, just wait for the sun to rise and warm up before leaving. Zhou Niangzi replied casually, "The slave went to the stove room, I don't know if there is enough firewood?"

"The people are diligent, and the firewood is enough. "There is a well at the door of the stove room, and the two large tanks next to it are filled with water that the little ones only fetch in the morning, if it is not enough, you can call them at will." ”

"How dare you work Lang Jun, slaves bring their mother-in-law with them. Zhou Niangzi waved her hand when she heard it, and wanted to say something, but she heard a "squeak", the little official had not opened the door, and the wooden door was pushed open from the outside.

"Oops—" cried the little officer, but a man with a hat sat diagonally in front of the door, with his back against the wooden door, and now he pulled the bolt of the door, and the man fell backwards without his support, and pushed the door open from the outside.

"It's frozen!" Zhou Niangzi was also startled, she took two steps forward and looked, "It looks like a young Langjun, it snowed so hard yesterday, he actually stayed outside all night, look at the clothes on his body are still half dry, shouldn't he have braved the heavy snow last night to rush over." ”

"No wonder I heard someone knock on the door last night, and when I asked again, there was no response, I must have frozen. "The little official smashed his mouth, stepped forward and wanted to drag him into the post station, but unfortunately he was born short and thin, although this person fainted, but he was also an eight-foot-tall Langjun, he couldn't move for a long time, he was so tired that he sat on the ground and panted, the big black dog saw him like this, and thought that the owner was playing with it, and he came over in a hurry, and was slapped on the head by the little official, and reprimanded, "What an invisible beast!"

"Poof!" Bai Lu got up early in the morning to fetch water and went to the upper room, waiting for the Pingling Imperial Lady to pass, and then came out with the water and poured it out, just happened to see the little official scolding the dog in frustration, and couldn't help laughing, while beckoning to Yan Qi, the leader of the Xuanyi Army who was traveling with them, and said, "Yan Langjun, is there anything wrong with this child? If you are free, why don't you help move this person to the wing." ”

Yan Qi didn't say much when he heard it, and immediately ordered two Lang Jun, one raised his head and the other raised his feet to carry the frozen man to the bottom of the corridor, and called the other person to go outside the door to bring in the salute he was carrying, and he grabbed a large handful of snow into the snow and walked towards the man, wanting to rub his exposed arm with snow to warm him up.

"I can't help it! I can't help it!" Wang Ji pushed the door out, originally a little confused, and shouted when he saw Yan Qi's movements.

"Why? We've done that in the north before. Yan Qi was stunned for a moment and asked.

It is recorded in the "Treatise on Taiping Medicine" that if the patient is frostbitten after heavy snow, the patient's frostbite is rubbed with white snow, not only can it not be relieved, but it will be frostbitten again. Wang Ji mentioned what he was good at, and he was no longer a little confused.

"But ......" Yan Qi still has to argue.

"Are you a doctor or am I a doctor!" Wang Ji shouted, turned his head to Bai Lu and said, "I also bothered the little lady to instruct the mother-in-law to boil a bucket of hot water and bring a bucket of cold water over, and then take two clean handkerchiefs and basins together." ”

"Wow. "Saving people is like fighting fires, Bai Luden nodded and promised, there was hot water boiling on the stove, but at this time, he just ordered the servants to bring it and take water from the well.

As soon as he turned around and saw that the preparations were all arranged, Wang Ji first commanded the two Xuanyi troops to carry the patient into the chamber, and there happened to be a bathing bucket in it, so he commanded Yan Qi to take off this Lang Jun's wet clothes, and he stood in front of the big bucket and ordered the thick servant to pour hot and cold water into the big bucket, only to wait for the water temperature to be about the same as the temperature of the striped Lang Jun before Yan Qi helped him into the big bucket.

"Please also ask the doctor to give instructions. Yan Qi didn't look at the thin and weak Lang Zhong at first, but when he saw that he was bursting out with a momentum that was completely different from usual, he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Fetch some hot and cold water. Wang Ji instructed on the one hand, and cleaned his hands with soaphorns, before taking the basin, a scoop of hot water and a scoop of cold water, until the water temperature was about the same as the temperature of the patient's exposed face and hands, and then the handkerchief was immersed in water and applied to the bucket of people.

"Look, it looks like we're from Jinju. Yan Qi pursed his lips, walked out with a bunch of wet clothes, and only walked a few steps, he heard a "knock-" sound, a token that could not be seen fell to the ground, with an ancient totem engraved on it, Yan Qi picked it up casually, and the next moment a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, he strode out, and just went out of the door and happened to meet Xuanyi Jun who came over with a package, "His things are all here?"

"Yes, all of them. Seeing Shangfeng's inquiry, the sergeant hurriedly replied.

"You go in first, if Wang Xiaolangjun listens to him if he has any orders, I will go to see Langjun first. Yan Qi took the package from his hand, gave a word, and strode towards Pingling Yu's house.

"Lang Jun can get up?" Because of the cold in the winter months of Chang'an, the second floor of the post station is naturally drier than the first floor, because the residences of the nobles are all upstairs, and the first floor of the post station is not the residence of the post officer, but the residence of the fellow servants, Yan Qi carried a bunch of wet and smelly things all the way up the stairs, which made others can't help but look at him a few more times.

"Is there anything wrong with Ah Qike?" Pingling Yu changed his clothes, and was sitting on a stool under the window reading a book, Ji Yan was lying on the couch beside him, playing with himself with a pair of big round eyes, listening to the sound, he turned his head towards the door, and saw Yan Qi coming with a bunch of messy things, his little nose twitched, and a pair of eyes stared straight at Pingling Yu.

"When I went out today, I saw that someone was frozen at the door of the post station, Wang Xiaolangjun rescued his subordinates, and found the token of the Ji family in his salute. Yan Qi wrapped his clothes at the door, wiped his hands clean on his body, and then handed over the token.

"Yu Ji's token, I'm not as familiar with you, do you know this person, but the Ji family?" Pingling Yu took it and flipped the token to look at it, "The pattern on the door is somewhat similar to Yuan Zhao's token." ”

This man did not know his subordinates, and his appearance was not that of the Lord's family. Yan Qi shook his head.

"Is that person awake?" Pingling Yu frowned, at this time, he would not let go of things related to the Ji family.

"Wang Xiaolangjun is still being treated, and he is not worried about his life, but he doesn't know when he will wake up. Yan Qi thought for a while.

"Is all the stuff he was carrying here?" Pingling Yu naturally didn't care about whether it was immoral to turn over the other party's package without the master's consent, and asked at the same time.

"Nothing should be missed. Yan Qi paused and said, "The subordinates look at the material of his clothes, which is very similar to the local cotton cloth produced in Shuoxueguan. ”

"I'll have to see what he's carrying. Pingling Yu listened to Yan Qi's words, his mind changed sharply, before Qi Zheng sent a message only saying that the Northern Wei Dynasty prince Tuoba Ao and Ji Shan were deadlocked in Shuoxue Pass, and now it has been ten days since the military report came, and he didn't know what the situation of Shuo Xue Pass was now, this person came from Shuo Xue Pass and was afraid that it would be a little clearer, "You first check his bag carefully to see what is in it, you can get the Ji family token, and it is not the Ji family, it must have a lot to do with the Ji family!" I'll go down first to see how Zhong Ci is treated, and there are some things that I can only ask him first. ”

"Whew!" Yan Qi took the order.

As soon as this Ji Kai saw that Pingling Yu was going to go out, he opened his mouth and cried loudly, Pingling Yu quickly turned back to the couch when he saw this, only to see that he was actually a dry number, not even a tear, he couldn't help but be angry and funny, leaned down and hugged Ji Kai in his arms, reached out and patted him on the buttocks, took off the wool felt that was placed on the side and wrapped Ji Kai, and then took this little grinding spirit downstairs together.
