91 A strange deserted village

"Uncle, these hares can make up for the eldest mother's body, otherwise her broken bones will be slow. You Xue and Yuan Ziyue walked into the courtyard and saw that the old man was boiling medicine in a broken crockpot with a pyre last night, and his old face was even more haggard under the sun.

"Girl, why are you ......" The old man was stunned for a moment when he saw them suddenly appear, he thought that this girl was just talking casually, and would not come again, but he didn't expect that she still remembered the old wife's leg injury, and there was no life on the nearby mountains, and he didn't know where she caught the game, which really flattered him, and he rubbed the hem of his clothes with both hands at a loss.

You Xue smiled when she saw this, and poked Yuan Ziyue with her arm, who was hugging her chest and looking left and right, "Don't be idle, hurry up and bring in those objects on the horse." ”

Yuan Ziyue glanced at the old man, rolled her eyes and turned back to get something outside the courtyard gate, she didn't know when she was so obedient.

The old man was stunned, and hurriedly stopped: "The girl can't help it, the old man can't stand it, you treat the old woman's injuries and collect medicine, we are already grateful, how can we accept the girl's kindness again!"

You Xue put a few rabbits on the side of the well, took a bag of coarse wheat and some strips of meat tied with straw rope that Yuan Ziyue brought in, and motioned Yuan Ziyue to take some pots and bowls to the house, and commanded Yuan Ziyue to turn around like a rough maid.

She said: "There is no rice in the town, only thick noodles, the old man will eat it, you two old people live well, there can be hope, no matter where your children are, as long as they live there will always be a day to come back, they also hope that you will live well, wait for them to go home." ”

You Xue didn't know that the flour and strips of meat she had bought were nothing less than delicacies in the eyes of these poor peasants, because she thought that the old people had to eat rice no matter what, and those rough flour that could pick out small crumbs was really a burden on the stomach of the elderly.

Before he recovered from the shock, he heard You Xue's words again, maybe it was the last sentence "Wait for them to go home" that made his old eyes blur and burst into tears.

You Xue was helpless, she put down her things and was about to help the old man into the house, when a hoarse but angry voice came from behind her: "Who are you? Why are you in Laiyuan Village?"

I saw that the old man hurriedly wiped away his tears and turned around: "Lai's family, this is my wife's distant cousin in the city, and I know that my wife was beaten by those garrisons and came to visit." ”

You Xue's eyes flashed slightly, and then she lowered her head, and helped the old man take a few steps back slightly, making a ladylike appearance.

It's just that the edge of her whole body can't be covered by random movements.

Lai Rengui is the head of a village, and he is also a person who has entered the city, and he has seen those nobles with extraordinary backgrounds when he was young. He knew that Ye Gu's wife had relatives in Xiaoluo City, but this relative was inevitably too high, although he was dressed in plain clothes, he had a superior texture, a noble and elegant appearance that could not be concealed, and that gorgeous appearance caught people's eyes in the morning sun.

He snorted coldly in his heart, when he was a fool! Such a noble relative is not something that the poor Ye Gu couple can only chew the bark can afford, but he doesn't want to understand it, so he said coldly: "Hasn't Ye Lao forgotten that the village has been closed and does not welcome outsiders?"

Ye Gu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded again and again, "Yes, they will leave after taking a look at my wife, and ask the Lai family to be accommodating." ”

At this moment, there were also some elderly people with blue-gray faces gathered outside, including young children with yellow muscles and thin bones, who were also four or five years old.

They just stood outside the low wall, staring at You Xue and Yuan Ziyue with a pair of dark and empty eyes, which made people feel stunned.

You Xue thought that she was not a saint, and she didn't have the mind to help all sentient beings, but at this moment, she felt that the basket of eggs in her palm was a little hot.

Yuan Ziyue stood beside You Xue and snorted lightly: "You are here to be a good person and score points, isn't the blue sky and the white sun pulling hatred? This village within a radius of several miles is very xenophobic!"

You Xue ignored her, she put down the egg, stepped forward and saluted: "It's the little girl who took the liberty to visit, so I'll leave." ”

Lai Rengui's slender eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his lips twitched, but he just looked at him coldly and didn't say a word.

She turned around and looked at the old man surnamed Ye, who was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to relieve them, and smiled comfortingly: "I'm relieved to see my aunt's juniors, so I'll leave." ”

Ye Gu glanced at Lai Rengui, who was standing on the side with an unkind face, and walked beside You Xue with his head bowed and said softly: "I am grateful for the girl's kindness to the old man, but this place is not for the girl, don't come again in the future, do you know? Be careful all the way out! Old man, I can only send you here." ”

You Xue listened to the strangeness in his words, raised her head to meet the eyes of the old and young, and didn't say more.

He and Yuan Ziyue each rode on their horses, bowed slightly to Lai Rengui and Old Man Ye, and then clamped the horse's belly and drove away.

Winding up the steep mountain road, You Xue rode on horseback and looked at the road ahead thoughtfully, she remembered that when she was in Heishui Village, Qiu Long had mentioned it when he saw the Tianji Jade, and the legend said that after the Tianji Jade disappeared from the altar of the Li Kingdom, it finally appeared in Changshou Village under the Vientiane Mountains, and when she left yesterday, under the moonlight, it happened that the three mottled black characters engraved on the archway at the entrance of the village. Is that longevity village this Laiyuan village?

Later, she borrowed to buy groceries in the town, inquired about the news of Laiyuan Village, and learned the origin of Laiyuan Village and the reputation of Changshou Village.

However, looking at the attitude of the middle-aged man who was called 'Lai's house', You Xue faintly felt that she seemed to have found the right direction.

So what secrets are hidden in this Laiyuan Village?

Is the Tianji Jade destroyed by her true or false? Is what Xiu Sang said credible?

If we assume that this fake Heavenly Ridge Jade was imitated in Laiyuan Village, or if we just helped hide this fake Heavenly Ridge Jade, but after all, such a big target cannot be placed in such a small village casually, so what kind of huge force is this, and what is the relationship with this village? What other unknown secrets remain in this village? Why are the villagers who have fallen into such a state of despair so silent about it?

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Yuan Ziyue couldn't help but call out as she watched You Xue's mount turn around and head towards Jiagu Pass, away from the official road.

You Xue came back to her senses and looked back at her suspiciously: "Is this area far away from the Vientiane Mountain Range?"

Yuan Ziyue was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then made an exaggerated expression that was struck by lightning, "Are you okay, we just came to the back mountain of Nalaiyuan Village, which is connected to the Weituo Mountain of the Vientiane Mountain Range!

You Xue nodded: "I do know." As she spoke, she pulled the reins of her horse and headed for the city of Luo.

Yuan Ziyue hurriedly followed, looked at her curiously before saying, "How can you say that you are also Qiongqi's apprentice, and you are also a good doctor, why don't you treat this amnesiac brain well?"

You Xue shook her head as a matter of course and said, "I have shallow knowledge and narrow knowledge, which has nothing to do with my amnesia." ”

Yuan Ziyue snorted coldly and looked at the city gate in the distance: "Oh, then you are inexplicably so enthusiastic about that old couple, what is the reason for this?"

"If you want to know the reason, go to Uncle Yuan, you should be able to find the answer. ”

Although Yuan Fuxi fought on the battlefield in the first half of his life, he was also born in a merchant family, and he always had an understanding of the changes in the world that had been crisscrossed for hundreds of miles.

Yuan Ziyue frowned slightly, "What do you mean, what do those people have to do with their father-in-law?"

"Uncle Yuan is well-informed, and he should be very clear about the history of this suburb. ”

Yuan Ziyue shook her head, "That's right, but you can't go to the Yuanjia Winery now, the new officials sent by the imperial court have not yet arrived, and the enemy army is still entrenched in the city."

Because you inexplicably disappeared in the Gui Bu Mansion, and the Tianji Jade was stolen in the stone room, whether it is you or Zai Buyou, Gui Bu You will not let it go, and now, not only his subordinates are looking for you, but also the people of the Huoluo Sect are also looking for you, and according to Ye Hui, there are also two forces in the shadows who are probing your origin and traces. ”

You Xue looked innocent: "Zai Buyou wants me to take the blame for the matter?"

Yuan Ziyue's eyes darkened: "The pavilion master suddenly fell into a coma after returning to the Donglai Pavilion last night, last night I was looking for materials is one of them, mainly to find you, the pavilion has invited several doctors, all helpless." ”

You Xue was really speechless at this time, she didn't understand why such an urgent matter could be delayed until now before this girl said, "Why did you say it now?"

Yuan Ziyue took out a package from her arms and threw it to her, looking at the more and more pedestrians in front of her, including the garrison patrolling, she said: "Because you are a person from King Rui, the pavilion master doesn't want you to know too much about him, but last night... According to you, it seems that there is no secret about his illness from you, so I can only make my own decisions..."

"Okay, how do I think I'm going to look like an 'Infernal Affairs' character everywhere I go, forget it, so be it. You Xue didn't bother to explain that her relationship with Zhen Yunze was actually not what they imagined, but these nonsense just swirled in her throat and swallowed back.

She dismounted and walked into a bush, and came out a moment later, although she was still dressed in plain clothes and had a slender posture, but her face was already plain and forgettable.

※※※

Follow Yuan Ziyue all the way into the backyard of Donglai Pavilion and come to the courtyard of Yumingxuan.

The guards outside the door looked tense and solemn, because they recognized Yuan Ziyue, so they only glanced at them and ignored them as if they were nothing, Ye Hui heard the sound and came out, first saw Yuan Ziyue, and said anxiously: "Where did you go last night, the pavilion master woke up and told you to do things, but I couldn't find you!"

Yuan Ziyue didn't talk to him, and asked as she walked to the back room: "What did he say he wanted to tell me?

"Doctor Wang has applied a silver needle, but the pavilion master has not woken up yet..."He said this, and suddenly turned his head to look at the woman who was slowly a few steps away from the two of them, not that his alertness was too low, but that the woman's sense of existence was almost imperceptible, like a shadow behind Yuan Ziyue silently.

"Who is she?" Ye Hui's eyes lit up.

Yuan Ziyue then remembered, and hurriedly took a few steps back and grabbed You Xue's hand and dragged her to the inner room: "What are you rubbing, see a doctor!"

Ye Hui stepped forward to block the two of them, and asked coldly, "You haven't said who she is!"

Yuan Ziyue also lowered her face and said in a deep voice: "Ye Hui, when will you not even be able to trust my people?"

Ye Hui also said unceremoniously: "When is it now, I can't trust anyone except the pavilion master!"

You Xue had a headache, she knew that Yuan Ziyue didn't want to reveal her identity, but she didn't plan to hide it, if it was true that the other party didn't want her to be close, she wouldn't be reluctant, "I'm Nanxing," she raised her hand and tore off the human skin mask, only to feel that the dull dampness and heat dissipated, and her face instantly cooled a lot.

"I heard that several forces in this city are looking for me everywhere, so I put on a mask. ”

On the other hand, Yuan Ziyue frowned, and finally endured it, just learning from You Xue and rolling her eyes to look at Ye Hui.

"It turned out to be a Nanxing girl, and she was rude. Ye Hui's eyes flashed, and he could see that the person in front of him seemed to have changed a lot, whether it was his momentum or appearance, it was too different from what he had seen before, but now was not the time to care about this, he immediately let go and let You Xue in.

You Xue walked to the edge of the bed where Yu Mingxuan was lying, and saw that his eyes were closed, his cheeks were flushed, his lips were blue, and his breathing seemed to be nothing, she reached out and pressed on his pulse, and after a while, she changed her hand and continued to explore the pulse, her eyebrows were loose and tight, and she put his hand back into the quilt, the pulse was hanging and heavy, it was really strange.

She opened his eyelids and took a closer look at Xu Yu, and asked, "Did he use his internal strength before he fell unconscious?"

"Yes. ”

You Xuetuo thought for a moment, "Show me his pulse." ”

When Ye Hui heard this, he immediately walked out and said, "The pulse case is with Dr. Wang, I'll go get it." ”

As soon as Ye Hui left, Yuan Ziyue stepped forward, standing a few steps away from the bed and looking at the weak and quiet man lying there, his expression of forced composure was also a little collapsed at this time, and his eyes were worried with tears: "How is it?

You Xue ignored her, she bent down to look at the maroon medicine at the bottom of the celadon bowl on the bedside table, looked down and sniffed, surprised: "There is in this medicine... Yan Luogen!"

"Yan Luogen, what is it?" Yuan Ziyue was also surprised.
