Chapter 59: Rescue in the Snow Field
Covered with snow, it shades the hills, hides the dense forests, and freezes the rivers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoMorgan Kenny stood on the hillside and looked down on the whole world.
The sky was falling with fine snowflakes from time to time, and it was really cold in the wild, but Morgan preferred to freeze in order to enjoy this little freedom.
Scanning the vast snowfield, Morgan's gaze stayed on the gray and white city in the distance. The chief of the guard suddenly reminded him softly: "Young Master, it's cold outside, beware of being sick." Let's go back to the carriage!"
Morgan frowned and didn't answer. His gaze continued to wander, drifting along the winding silver-white river into the distance.
"Young Master", Adam pressed the hilt of the sword on his waist with his left hand and stepped forward, "The wild is dangerous, we don't know ......"
"Alright," Morgan interrupted impatiently, "you're going to scare me with those bone wizards again! After more than a month of pursuit, they can't be eliminated!"
"Young Master," Adam lowered his head slightly, "It's about the reputation of the Temple, please don't say such things outside!"
"Got it," Morgan turned to scan the hillside beneath his feet, "the world is so big, and those bone wizards aren't necessarily going to come to Qinyin City." Hey, someone!" Morgan raised his hand, pointing to the woods hundreds of meters away.
Adam turned and saw four figures running towards the edge of the woods. At the head of the run was a low figure. The three figures behind him seemed to be chasing him. For in the hands of the three of them they all had unsheathed scimitars or long swords.
Adam immediately reached out and grabbed Morgan's arm and gently dragged him towards the convoy not far away: "Young master, there are thugs." Let's hurry back to the carriage. With that, Adam blew two loud whistles in quick succession.
The whistle is the signal. In the horse team on the side of the road, more than a dozen figures suddenly rushed out. They flocked to Morgan with the intention of protecting.
Morgan was pulled by Adam and ran towards the carriage while turning his head to observe the strange figure in the distance. As the distance approached, Morgan gradually determined that the figure fleeing for his life in the distance was a thin old woman.
Morgan shook his hand abruptly and stopped. He ordered the dozen or so guards who rushed to him: "The bad guys are chasing the old woman." You're going to help!"
Morgan had just finished shouting, and an old and hoarse cry for help sounded in the distance: "Help! There are robbers who want to kill me......
A dozen guards heard Morgan's order, and they also heard the old woman's cries for help clearly. But they didn't move, they just turned their gaze to Adam.
Adam pressed slightly, and continued to pull Morgan: "Young master, we don't know their details. Let's get back to the carriage first. ”
"How can you see death without help?" Morgan shook his hand again, still unable to escape Adam's pull. He angrily reprimanded, "Adam, are you trying to ruin the reputation of our Kenny family?"
Adam gripped Morgan's arm harder and harder. He reluctantly persuaded: "Young Master, I must first ensure your safety. As soon as you return to the carriage, I will immediately arrange for the rescue. ”
After years of getting along, Morgan knew Adam's rigidity and stubbornness. Morgan looked at the old woman who was stumbling for her life, and nodded in submission: "Then you can send me back to the carriage quickly." Hurry up and save someone!"
At Morgan's request, Adam picked him up and sent him back to the carriage. No sooner had Morgan slipped into the warm carriage than the carriage moved slowly. Morgan was in a hurry, turned around and pushed the car door, trying to jump down: "Adam, what are you doing? I told you to save people!"
Morgan had just leaned out of the car door when Adam gently pushed him back. Morgan almost fell, only to see Adam riding outside and explaining, "Young master, I have sent my men to save people." Please remain calm and don't disrupt my deployment. ”
"Really?" Morgan turned, pulled back the thick curtains, and pushed open the rear window. Sure enough, he saw that the five family guards had rushed behind the old woman. They intercepted the three robbers and fought fiercely.
Morgan only felt that the battle was fierce. Adam's brows furrowed higher and higher: You know, the five family guards are all official knights. They fought with three robbers, but they didn't fall behind. The strength of those three robbers is too strong, right?
Adam couldn't help but look at the old woman who was still running for her life. The more he looked, the more he felt that the other party was suspicious: the old woman was thin and short. From beginning to end, she carried a blanket in her arms. The blanket is thick and thick. Adam didn't know if there was anything wrapped in it. But it seems that the weight of the blanket is not light.
However, although the old woman stumbled and seemed to be about to fall at any moment, her speed was really not slow. Moreover, after experiencing vigorous running, the old woman's breath is always relatively gentle.
I feel more and more suspicious of the old woman. Adam suddenly ordered. He ordered a group of guards to continue to protect Morgan's advance. He himself led another group of guards to turn around and intercept the old woman on horseback.
"Stop," warned Adam aloud, "stop, and don't try to get any closer to the carriage!"
The old woman stopped very obediently. She hugged the blanket and panted a little loudly, "Don't get me wrong! I'm just a shipwrecked traveler." I have no ill intentions, I just want to ask you for help. Please, save my sick granddaughter!" As she spoke, the old woman leaned over and looked at the blanket on her chest.
Adam jumped off the horse and looked at the blanket in the old woman's arms: "In the blanket, your granddaughter is contained?"
"Yes," begged the old woman mournfully and anxiously, "she is very sick! She urgently needs medical attention. If you don't worry, you can tie me up!"
The old woman's clothes were very thin, and her face was red from the cold. She was dry and thin, and she looked pitiful indeed. And her final suggestion put Adam at ease.
With a wave of his hand, Adam instructed one of the female guards to step forward and check if the old woman was hiding a weapon. The female guards quickly checked the old woman's whole body and found no weapons. The female guard lifted the corner of the blanket, quickly turned around and exclaimed, "Chief, it's indeed a girl." Only sixteen or seventeen years old. She was indeed very sick and was in a coma. I'm afraid I can't delay!"
Adam hesitated: he wanted to instruct the squire to untie the blanket and thoroughly check for threats. But it was freezing that day, and the girl was already seriously ill. If the blanket inspection is lifted, the girl is afraid that she will freeze to death.
Adam intends to check on the girl's condition for himself. He walked a few steps, then stopped and looked back. It turned out that Morgan's carriage had returned and had already driven behind everyone.
Morgan pushed the door open and jumped out of the carriage: "What's going on?"
Adam hurriedly walked up to Morgan and stopped him from getting any closer to the old woman. Adam briefly explained the situation.
"Since you are seriously ill, then hurry up and get into the carriage," Morgan beckoned to the old woman, "Come, old woman, get into my carriage." We'll send you to the city to find a doctor. ”
Morgan pointed to the battlefield in the distance. The five family guards are still inseparable from the three robbers. Morgan urged dissatisfiedly: "Adam, should you send a few more people to help? Why can't five people beat three people?
Adam smiled wryly and immediately assigned three of his subordinates to reinforcements.
Under Morgan's constant urging, the old woman hugged the blanket and stepped forward. The old woman glanced at the nobleman's family crest on the carriage and the flags held by the two knights. She stopped at Morgan: "Little master, I don't know which family you come from? ”
Morgan puffed up his chest slightly and proudly introduced: "My name is Morgan, and I am the heir of the Kenny family. The Kenny family of Kooin City. ”
"It turned out to be the heir of the family of music," the old woman seemed overjoyed, "no wonder there is such a kind and pure heart." ”
"Young Master Morgan," the old woman suddenly knelt on her knees, still holding her granddaughter in her arms, "Please, take my granddaughter in." She is very competent and a competent maid. Please, you must heal her. I can't anymore and continue to take care of her......"
As she spoke, the old woman's ears, eyes, and nostrils flowed dark red blood at the same time. Before the old woman could finish speaking, she suddenly pounced forward.
Morgan subconsciously squatted down and caught the poured blanket and the old woman. The weight of the two people was on Morgan's body, and he couldn't help but shout, "What's the matter? Adam, come and help!"
Adam picked up the old woman, and the female guard next to him picked up the blanket. Morgan stood up straight and heard Adam's report: "Young master, she's dead." The old woman had choked. ”
"Why are you dead?" Morgan looked at the old woman's face. Seeing the tragic situation of the old woman's death, he hurriedly turned his head again: "Why did you die? I haven't promised her anything!"
"Master, what should I do?" the female guard hugged the blanket and brought the girl's face closer to Morgan.
Morgan lowered his head and was stunned for a moment. It was a very beautiful girl. Silver hair, pink face, slender dark eyebrows, tall and delicate nose, pale and small lips. Morgan felt that the girl in front of him was an elf in the snow, and his heartbeat slowed down irrepressibly.
"Young Master, Young Master......" reminded Morgan several times one after another, waking Morgan up, "Young Master, what should we do?"
"Of course, it's to save people quickly," Morgan looked up, but his gaze was like a magnet attracted to the girl's face again, "although I can't hear it, I have promised the old woman." I will save this girl and take her in. ”
Morgan jerked his head up at the end of the battlefield. He glared at the three embarrassed robbers, and was filled with righteous indignation: "Those three robbers are so hateful! ”
Perhaps Morgan's hatred was so strong that the three robbers were subdued by the guards one after another. Morgan was thinking about how to teach the three robbers a hard lesson, but he heard the report of the guards from afar: although the three robbers were subdued, they breathed one after another, and it seemed that they had died of poison.
The robber's death was not enough to relieve Morgan. He instructed Adam, "Cut off their heads." ”
Adam instructed his men to do as they were told. He was secretly frightened by the "dead" approach of the three robbers. Although he didn't have time to torture a word from the mouths of the three robbers, Adam was sure that the girl's origin was certainly not simple.
Adam couldn't help but take the blanket from the female guard. He hugged the girl with his own hands: "Young master, how do you plan to place her?"
Morgan was puzzled: "Take it home, of course?"
"Madame will not agree," Adam followed Morgan to the carriage, "she is of unknown origin, and the important thing is that she is still sick." For the sake of your health, Madame will certainly not agree to take her in!"
Morgan stopped and nodded slightly. He stared at Adam suspiciously: "Then what do you say?"
"It's better to put her in the infirmary first," Adam's face was unmistakable, "and then take her back to the house when she recovers." ”
Morgan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly laughed, like a little fox stealing food: "Good idea! But you can't tell Mom about today's events and the existence of this girl." I will personally convince my mother to take ......"
