Chapter 20: Healing

I don't know how long it took, Du Yan was dazed and heard someone talking in front of him, "Daddy, look at this old uncle, he seems to be sick, let's save him." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The voice was a clear and immature child's voice, so good that it went down his ears and into his brain, as if drinking a cup of cold elixir in the middle of summer, and his whole body was extremely comfortable, and people couldn't help but sober up a little.

Trying to raise his eyes, he saw a small figure, wearing a pink skirt, about five or six years old.

Looking at her little face again, Du Yan couldn't help but be stunned.

After many years, the appearance of the nine princesses of the previous dynasty has long been blurred in his mind, but the gentle and compassionate eyes in the mountains in the troubled times have always been imprinted in his heart, for no reason, he just feels that the compassion in the eyes of the girl in front of him is like the ninth princess.

Although she is young, her little face is difficult to describe, like a bud dew, like a plum calyx cream. The most striking thing is the eyes, which are large and long, slightly raised at the end of the eyes, and the eyelashes are thick and curly under the deep double eyelids. The pupils are like a pool in a bend of water, as dark as night, and clear and clear, as if they can see the figure of a person.

Stared at by these eyes, it seems that the dirtiest heart can be cleansed.

Du Yan had no reason, and under the gaze of these eyes, he suddenly felt ashamed.

The little man's little hand was being held, and Du Yan looked up along the big hand holding the little hand.

This man felt familiar to him, as if he had seen it somewhere.

This was Du Yan's first feeling after seeing that person's face.

This person called daddy by the girl is upright and prime, he has a pair of phoenix eyes similar to the girl, but the eyes are sharp and cold like a knife.

The bridge of his nose is straight, his lips are closed, and his eyebrows are imposing. Standing there quietly, the whole person is like a peerless Qingfeng, cold and majestic.

His momentum is so imposing that at first glance, people always ignore his handsome appearance, and only remember the coercion like the sky and mountains.

Those eyes looked at him coldly, and for a moment Du Yan seemed to feel that he had been cut open and his abdomen was cut, and the deepest secret hidden in front of his eyes was nowhere to be hidden.

Du Yan couldn't help lowering his eyes, not daring to look at him.

"Come from the east and hire a carriage to take him to the Hanging Pot Medicine House. ”

Du Yan shrank and listened to the man's command.

He was secretly surprised: how did he know that I was going to the Hanging Pot Medicine Shop? It seemed that he saw that I was injured, not sick.

Du Yan raised his eyes and found that the father and daughter were still following behind him. It's just that this father and daughter duo are so dazzling that people can't help but ignore the others.

Behind the man, a young man answered loudly and turned to go.

The girl comforted: "Old uncle, bear with me a little longer, and it will be fine for a while." ”

Du Yanqiang showed a smile and nodded.

A servant led the horse, and the man took his daughter on the horse, wrapped her tightly in his cloak, and then stepped on the horse neatly and went away.

After a short time, the young man named Donglai just now called a carriage. Du Yan was half-hugged and half-helped into the carriage by him.

He was knocked over by the carriage and almost passed out. Donglai may have seen his condition and told the coachman to slow down.

Fortunately, the medicine house was not far away, and when Du Yan's eyes turned black for a while, the carriage stopped.

When I entered the medicine house, I heard an old voice say, "Captain Liang is here, I haven't seen you for a long time." What's wrong with this?"

Du Yan thought to himself, it turned out that this Donglai was not an ordinary guard, but actually had a military position.

"Doctor Shi, take a look, this is what the governor of my family picked up on the street, and he is dying of illness. Donglai put him on a chair and said.

picked it up on the street, Du Yan smiled bitterly, as if he had picked up a cat and a dog.

Du Yan's arm was placed on the table by Liang Donglai, and one hand was immediately placed on his wrist.

After a while, Dr. Shi blew his beard and reprimanded: "Nonsense! I'm injured like this, I don't want to rest at home, and I dare to run around!

Du Yan was powerless to reply, only pulling out a wry smile.

Dr. Shi asked Liang Donglai to help him to lie down on the couch behind the screen, took off his shirt, and applied needles for treatment.

With a needle prick, Du Yan spit out a mouthful of black blood with an "oh", feeling that his brain was a lot clearer, and his body also recovered some strength.

Waiting for Dr. Shi to write down a prescription, Liang Donglai went to grab the medicine, and Dr. Shi chattered on the side: "If you are two days late, your old life will be gone." When you are old, you have to serve the old, and don't talk with your fists at every turn like young people. ”

Du Yan couldn't cry or laugh, he was only in his fifties, where was the age when he should be old. But after many years of ups and downs, he looks like he is sixty or seventy years old, and he can't explain it to others, so he has to touch his nose and admit his old age.

Liang Donglai grabbed the medicine and wanted to pay the bill, Du Yan hurriedly followed, and said: "Don't dare to break the bank, the villain has a silver tael on him." ”

Liang Donglai glanced up and down on him a few times, and Du Yan also looked down. He was busy on the road, his clothes were covered with dust, and he had just fallen to the ground again, and there were still blood stains on his clothes, and he was embarrassed, not much better than a beggar.

No wonder Liang Donglai suspected that he didn't pay the bill.

He hurriedly took the baggage, took out the money and paid the bill. Liang Donglai looked at him with suspicion from the side, as if his silver had been stolen.

Du Yan laughed by himself, but he didn't steal it.

Together with Liang Donglai, he thanked Doctor Shi and walked out of the door of the hanging pot medicine house. Liang Donglai asked, "Where do you live?"

"The villain just entered Benzhou today, and he hasn't found the next place yet. Du Yan replied.

"Come on, send the Buddha to the west, and I'll send you to the inn again, so that you little old man will faint halfway and blind our young lady's kindness. As he spoke, he glanced at him and said, "There is an inn in front of me, forty or fifty steps away, can I walk by myself?

Du Yan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "You can go, you can go, the villain can walk by himself, and he doesn't dare to work as an adult anymore." Slowly moving a few steps, he turned his head sideways and asked, "Lord Liang is serving under the command of the Governor of Benzhou?"

Liang Donglai looked back at him, and the sharp edge of his eyes burst out in an instant, making this ordinary young man suddenly a little more powerful.

He narrowed his eyes, and his voice sank and said, "Don't try to find out anything, you can take care of your injuries in peace, where you came from and where you go back." The fact that the governor of my family does not want to let Miss's kindness go to waste, does not mean that I will not save you and slaughter you again. ”

He muttered again: "Miss Left and Right doesn't know either." ”

Du Yan lowered his head and sighed secretly. This Benshu City is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the eyes of the Governor of Gang Nadu seem to be looking into his bones. Now the young man saw that he was not an ordinary person, and he was so cautious in his words.

Liang Donglai sent Du Yan to the inn and left.

Du Yan really recuperated in peace, and he was not worried about his own safety, after all, the people of Wu did not dare to come to Benzhou on a large scale and blatantly to find people.

Besides, I kept changing clothes along the way, so I was suspicious, and I am afraid that the opponent didn't even know whether he was a man or a woman. To be more optimistic, I guess I haven't even figured out the direction of my escape.

He didn't go out when he was idle, and he raised it in the room for more than a month, and he felt a few pounds fat.

When you are bored, you take out the scimitar and play with it, this scimitar is no more than four inches long, except for the blade, I don't know what material it is, the whole body is made of gold.

The overall shape is the appearance of Qingluan wings, which is created by hollowing techniques. This hollowed-out design keeps the knife from being too heavy.

Qingluan's eyes are inlaid with a blue jade the size of corn, and the scabbard is made of thin gold wires to form a pattern of Qingluan's tail wings.

The whole scimitar is luxuriously beautiful, small and exquisite.

The most delicate is the design of the bracket, and you can't pull out the scabbard if you can't find it. After Du Yan got the knife, he figured it out a few times before he found the location of the opportunity.

The feathers on Qingluan's neck are lifelike, and the machine is hidden in them. If he hadn't noticed that the sheen of the feather was unusually bright, he wouldn't have discovered the secret.

But no matter how you look at it, it's just a delicately designed sharp scimitar, and it won't make the prince of Wu spend a lot of energy to take it skillfully. There must be some unknown secret hidden in this knife, but he can't find it for a while.

Du Yan's injuries have healed, he was tired of wandering and planned to return to his hometown to settle down, but these days another thought came to him, dispelling his idea of returning to his hometown. There is nothing to be nostalgic about in my hometown, and it doesn't matter if I go back or not.

It has been more than two months since he first met the Zhanjia brothers in summer, the weather is getting cooler, the leaves are falling, and the world is finally a little more solemn.

The injuries on Du Yan's body are also good. I got up early in the morning, asked Xiao Er for hot water, washed myself, changed my clothes, dressed up and went downstairs for breakfast.

When Xiao Er had breakfast, he pulled Xiao Er to sit down. Du Yan has lived here for more than a month, and he is familiar with the shopkeeper Xiao Er, and knows that this Xiao Er is the third in the family, known as the third son.

He took out a few copper plates and stuffed them in the hands of the third son, and without beating around the bush, he asked him directly: "Our governor of Benzhou, have you heard of it?"

"I've heard of it, who of us Benzhou people doesn't know about Lord Dudu. The third son put the copper coin into his arms and said with a smile.

"Oh, can the third son talk about the governor, and it will also open the eyes of me, an old man from the countryside. ”

The third son scratched his head, "Many of our little people don't know, the surname of the governor is Dugu, the name is Shaotang, I heard that it is from Kyoto." Oh, by the way, the governor is the eldest grandson of the Dugu general who died in battle when the emperor fought Donghu. ”

Du Yan let out an "oh", remembering that when the Duke of Wei rejected Donghu, the main general under his command, Dugu Zhong, fought to his death. Xindao, it turns out that this governor is still loyal and good.

"I heard that the governor is the life-saving benefactor of the Governor of Jiedu, and he has to be relied on by the Governor, and our Benzhou soldiers and horses and city defense are all in charge of the Governor. ”

"Do the third son know where the Governor's Mansion is?"

The third son widened his eyes and asked strangely: "What's the matter? Uncle is going to the Governor's Mansion? That's not a place where we ordinary people can go, be careful to put people in prison." ”

Du Yan laughed, "I'm just curious to ask, what am I going to do in the Governor's Mansion." ”

After breakfast, Du Yan went out, inquired about the location of the governor's mansion, and went straight to it.
