She turned around and stared at Ah Yao in disbelief, her voice seemed to tremble a little, and she asked without giving up, "You, can you see clearly?" Really...... Is Aunt Qin seriously ill and unable to return to heaven? ”

A-Yao hung her head and didn't dare to look at her, so she only whispered, "Yes." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" handed the short letter in both hands.

Qi Nian's fingertips trembled slightly, and the handwriting of the dragon flying and phoenix dance was very familiar, so that with just a glance, she could know that this was the book written by Shen Zhuohua, the master who had taught her the art of medicine and poison for three years.

Tsai carefully read the few words several times, and Qi Nian had to believe that it was indeed Aunt Qin, who had held her in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and now she was dying, and she was holding on to her breath to go back to see her for the last time.

Her heart, which was hanging in mid-air, fell into the abyss fiercely between these repeated confirmations.

After putting this letterhead away properly, Qi Nian immediately ordered: "A-Yao, you hurry up and prepare two fast horses now, and we'll see you in the back street after a cup of tea." ”

Ah Yao was stunned for a moment, "Now?" ”

Qi Nian couldn't take care of her anymore, turned around and walked out, and said, "Now! ”

Tianyin City, a small mountain city that originally belonged to the border of Weiyang Kingdom, because of the endless sea that stood on the edge of the city behind the mountain, and although it was a border fortress, it had no bordering country, but it was much more peaceful than other marginal cities.

Of course, because of this rare peace and tranquility, it is also extraordinarily quiet and comfortable, and the population is much sparser than those prosperous and rich cities.

In this warm early morning in spring, two horses galloped on this long street from far and near, and the sound of horses' hooves was crisp and loud, but only attracted the side eyes of a few people along the way.

When I got out of the city and went to the suburbs, although it was already three poles old, there were only a few pedestrians I could meet, and I could only vaguely see two extremely petite figures sitting on the galloping horse, and then they flashed past and ran away along the mountain road.

When he entered this Tianyin City in the mountain village by himself, because Qi Junliang felt sorry for his daughter's young and delicate nature, he couldn't bear to hurry up for fear of suffering her, so he left enough time from early morning to nightfall when the lights were on, and then he arrived at Qi Mansion.

But at this time, Aunt Qin was still struggling on the sickbed, Qi Nian was extremely anxious, and he ignored breakfast and lunch, and he didn't even stop to rest to catch his breath.

Ah Yao originally wanted to persuade her, like her, who is not very proficient in equestrianism and is just a weak woman who does not know martial arts at all, even if she can survive such a desperate journey, I am afraid that the next few days will not be easy.

It's just that when these words came to her lips, she didn't know how to speak.

After all, she has been a fatherless and motherless orphan since she was a child, and she only grew up with her brother and licking blood from the knife edge. is also because of the thrilling life of nine deaths in those years, but she can see very much at a young age, life and death are impermanent, and the two are often only separated by a thin veil, and no one knows who will die next.

In that Qi Mansion, everyone in the open and in the dark only said that the fourth miss was cold-faced and cold-hearted, and never moved her heart of compassion, but in Ah Yao's eyes, the young lady was the most soft-hearted and kind person.

Thinking that Aunt Qin, whom she had never met, was struggling to wait for Miss on the edge of life and death, and that the pain of losing her second aunt was about to be doubled again, Ah Yao couldn't help but feel sad in her heart.

She looked at Qi Nian's back that seemed to be crumbling but trying her best to persevere, and suddenly became a little unsure whether she was still the original self, the self who could look down on life and death.

It took a whole day to complete the journey, but now it only takes half a day, and at noon, you can already see the hundred-year-old tree standing in the wind at the head of the village in Xingshan Village.

In the past two years, earth-shaking changes may be carved in Tianyin City, but in this remote and secluded mountain village, there is still smoke curling and wind and willows, and the old walls and old trees of Uva are clear.

It's just that now he can't care about the nostalgia with tears in his eyes, Qi Nian tied the already tired horse under the old tree at the head of the village, and ran straight home according to the memories imprinted in his mind in the past.

Ah Yao followed closely, if she hadn't been holding Qi Nian's arm steadily, I am afraid that Qi Nian, who had never stopped riding the horse for this afternoon, would have softened his legs and lay on the ground unconscious.

The small courtyard that I lived with Aunt Qin for more than ten years is still familiar, this small village that relies on the mountains seems to be more affected by the spring, the warm sun and gentle breeze, the bluestone slab path in the courtyard is still smooth as ever, but there are clumps of lush grass in the gap between each slab, and the grass has already overflowed the ankles when stepping on this path, slightly itchy.

Qi Nian only felt that his eyes were also a little itchy.

In the past, when she was there, she knew that Aunt Qin was the most idle person, and in addition to laundry, cooking, tidying up the house and other chores all day long, she also planted some melons, fruits and vegetables in this courtyard to be self-sufficient.

While tending to these crops, she will also take care of the corners and corners of the courtyard very cleanly, not to mention a weed, even a stone and a piece of rubble have their proper place.

Now looking at this courtyard, Mo said that the green grass everywhere has not been removed, and the vegetable garden in the corner of the wall has been deserted, even the violets that she loved the most at the beginning have also withered.

Judging from this situation, Aunt Qin's illness should not be able to get out of bed for more than half a year.

No wonder, even Shen Zhuohua was helpless and powerless to return to the sky.

When he arrived at the door, Qi Nian finally slowed down until he was completely still.

She was originally very anxious, but when she walked to the door, she stopped, which really surprised Ah Yao and couldn't help but look sideways at her.

This look, but I saw that she didn't know when she didn't move, and she was already in tears.

Ah Yao couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Qi Nian suddenly raised his hands and brought a piece of brocade from his arms, and carefully wiped all the two lines of tears on his face.

But after a moment, she turned her face and looked at Ah Yao with clear eyebrows, and asked in a low voice, "I look at it now, is it normal?" ”

Ah Yao couldn't help but nodded.

Qi Nian put away the Jinpa and walked lightly to the house.

As she walked, she called softly, "Aunt Qin, Nian'er is back!" ”

There were only two people in the room, one standing and one lying.

Aunt Qin was deeply immersed in the thick futon on the bed, her eyes were closed, her face was sallow, her cheeks were thin and sunken, and her eyes were very protruding, which was quite terrifying.

The sourness in Qi Nian's heart suddenly flooded like a river and a sea, and he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down in front of the bed, and gently took out her wrist in the quilt, and took a pulse.

Not to mention that this pulse beating or illness or Xu Nai is a big murderous disease, but looking at Qin Guben's slightly plump body and now being so thin by the pain, you can know that it is indeed a lot of bad luck.
