Chapter 258: Soul Break (3)

In addition to the famous Yuhualing, there is also a river in the northwest that has given birth to countless children, called the Xujiang River. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It starts from the west of the Yangtze River, rushes all the way along the mountain of Yunhualing, crosses the mountain canyon of Yunhualing in Shanshui County, and then divides into three tributaries, and finally penetrates into the East China Sea.

Unlike the southeast region, which has few mountains and more water, although the northwest region is vast, half of the area is covered by deserts, and the remaining half, seven of which are encroached upon by mountains and dense forests, and the remaining about one-third can be used by the world. In this vast northwest region, there is only one river, the Yi River, and all other rivers and shoals are also its tributaries.

Therefore, the people of the great northwest have a deep affection for the river. They believe that it was the river that gave them life and brought them wealth. Therefore, the richest towns in the northwest are the counties along the river, and the most prosperous and lively business is the dock shipping.

In the seven days and seven nights of heavy snow that have just passed, it can be said that it is the calmest days on the river.

The continuous goose feather snow froze the river solidly, and the thickest ice on the river was almost as long as an arm's length of a young man, and the counties along the river issued notices to block the river. All piers are closed and no boats are allowed to enter the river.

Until the day before yesterday, the dark clouds that had been pervasive in the sky finally began to disperse gradually, and dazzling golden light sprinkled pervasively from the gaps between the clouds, dispelling the haze that had been going on for many days, and the people of the great northwest finally ushered in the light again.

Early this morning, before midnight, the counties along the river lifted the embargo notices one after another, and as soon as all the merchants and traders stranded at the wharves got the news, they could not wait to pack their bags, board the passenger and cargo ships, and urge the ships to rush into the river.

For a time, the sound of shouting, noise, and gas roars filled both sides of the river, and it was not prosperous.

A group of ships scattered at the pier, and after a brief encounter in the center of the river, they were at the helm of their respective helmsmen, and they all sailed into their own channels.

To the east of Yuhualing, because the weather is slightly milder, the ice and snow melt relatively quickly. The surface of the river is thawed, and patches of clear ice floes are still floating on it. However, as soon as I crossed the mountain canyon of Yuhualing and drove into the northwest boundary, the temperature dropped suddenly. I saw the artificially dug river, and huge pieces of ice floe piled up on both sides of the river, and the clear ice blocks were sharp and sharp, reflecting a dazzling and sharp light in the sun. On top of the ice, there were snowdrifts that had not yet melted, more than half a foot thick.

Suddenly, the rumbling sound of the rolling waves came from the steep canyon in the Yuhualing Mountains, and with the sound of other ships warning that there might be a narrow encounter, a slightly luxurious but deliberately low-minded cargo ship sailed out of the canyon. At the bow of the ship, the flag marking the cargo ship's business name was blown by the strong wind that pierced the hall, but it was still not difficult to recognize, it was a vigorous and powerful "Division" word, but it was the largest business name in the northwest, "Sijia"!

Sailing safely through the mountain canyon, everyone on board breathed a sigh of relief.

Uncle Chen, the old housekeeper of the house, retracted his gaze from afar, explained a few more words to the shipwright, and only after the arrangements were made were made did he turn around and get into the cabin with confidence. The obvious difference between cold and warm inside and outside made his frozen face instantly begin to warm up, and the blood under his skin began to flow again.

He moved his face, and a pair of weather-beaten withered hands peeked out of the cuffs of his thick cotton coat, hung down at his sides, and walked briskly towards the room at the end of the cabin.

As soon as I reached the edge of the house, a delicate figure appeared in the passage on the right. The visitor was dressed in a luxurious purple robe that hung down to his heels, and the neckline was wrapped in snow-white fox velvet around the woman's delicate face like a goose egg, as if holding a priceless pearl. The woman's face was a little cold and white, not like sickness, but as if it was frozen.

Before Uncle Chen saw the person clearly, the person saw him first, and the corners of his mouth grinned, and he opened his mouth with a smile and shouted "Uncle Chen".

Uncle Chen also smiled, his eyes lit up with kindness, and replied, "Miss." As she spoke, her eyes fell on the medicine cup held by the maidservant girl behind her, and then swept her eyes on her pretty face that was a little cold and white, and couldn't help but chatter: "Miss, in the future, I still order the people below to do these things, this kitchen and the outside alternate between cold and hot, and it is easy to live sick." ”

Uncle Chen has nagged these words dozens of times, and Si Fushuang is about to hear the calluses. However, she also knew that Uncle Chen loved her, so she smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, how can I be so weak, and besides, I am wearing a robe, you can rest assured! This time I went to find the ancient recipe, no one knows better than me, and I can rest assured that I will leave it to the people below. Seeing that Uncle Chen opened his mouth and wanted to say more, he hurriedly continued: "Okay, okay, Uncle Chen, I know, I'll pay attention next time......"

Before the words fell, a quiet male voice suddenly sounded in the room next to him, "Is it Shuang'er and Uncle Chen?" "The voice is clear, the speed of speech is not slow, and there is a sense of comfort in the ears. It's just that this voice is weak, and the qi is obviously insufficient, and it is obvious that the owner of the voice is sickly.

Si Fushuang playfully stuck out her tongue, stretched out her hand to push open the front hatch, and her small head poked into it first, seeing that Si Jian was helping Si Jinran to sit in a wheelchair, she was a little embarrassed and a little annoyed and called: "Brother, did you wake you up?"

Si Jinran was lifting the velvet blanket that Si Jian covered on his lap, and when he heard this, he raised his head to look at her, smiled gently, shook his head and said, "No, I just woke up." His smile was very faint, there was a feeling of ripples on the water, but it was not indifferent, but very gentle.

After hearing this, Si Fushuang let out a sigh of relief, and was no longer annoyed. He turned around and took the medicine cup from the maidservant's hand and walked into the room, and after putting it on the desk, he poured the medicine spoonful by spoon into the medicine bowl with his own hands, refusing to fake his hands.

Seeing this, Si Jinran couldn't help but say, "Shuang'er, let's let Si Jian come." ”

"No!" Si Fushuang shouted back with his eyes and heard Si Jian, who was about to step forward, pouted and looked at Si Jinran, "I asked for this medicine, no one knows what to pay attention to better than me! What's more, before going out, my mother told me to take good care of my brother, I don't want to go back to my mother's training." ”

Hearing this, Si Jinran shook his head helplessly, his eyes implied doting, but he didn't say anything more. His sister is so sharp-toothed, you say a word, she can always have multiple reasons to talk back and forth. What's more, they are even more stubborn than him in this matter.

Si Jinran's hands on his lap tightened subconsciously, still unconscious and painless for decades, and after a while, his hands slowly loosened again.

From birth to the present, the Si family has collected a total of more than a thousand prescriptions, but the hope again and again has not brought them the desired results. By now, he has long since died. It's just Daddy and Shuang'er, they still refuse to give up. Even so, he could not bear to distract them, so he went with them.
