In September, the days are getting shorter day by day, and the twilight is four, and the smoke rises from every household in the small village, and the green smoke curls into the sky, which is peaceful and peaceful.

After dinner, Su Yan was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and suddenly, a voice came from outside the courtyard: "Miss Su! Miss Sue! ”

When Su Yan walked out of the stove room, she saw Uncle Jin hurriedly running into the courtyard, "Miss Su, save my young master!" ”

Seeing that his face was anxious as if something big had happened, Su Yan couldn't help but worry, "What's wrong with Ah Chu?" ”

If it was an ordinary injury, Jin Boding would not look like this.

"Young master, young master, he was poisoned!" Thinking of his young master lying on the bed with a pale face, Uncle Jin's voice was already trembling.

Hearing this, Su Yan didn't dare to delay a bit, picked up the medicine box from the house and followed Uncle Jin out.

The movement of the two naturally reached Zhong Kang's ears, and he stood outside the house with a completely ignorant expression, "Lady? ”

Su Yan paused for a moment, and told him very quickly: "I have something urgent to go out now, you wait for me at home obediently, if I don't come back tomorrow, you will go to Xia Hua's house for dinner, remember?" ”

Resisting the anxiety in his heart and waiting for Zhong Kang to nod, Su Yan followed Uncle Jin out with the wind under his feet.

A horse next to the locust tree under the slope was grazing with its head down, and Uncle Jin pulled Su Yan on the horse with his backhand, "The situation is urgent, I can't take care of the people next to me, and I ask Miss Su not to mind." ”

At this time, how could she still take care of the side, Su Yan grabbed the hem of Jin Bo's clothes tightly with both hands, gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay." ”

The horses raised their hooves and splashed dust, galloping all the way, and arrived in front of the Tang Mansion in less than half a pillar of incense.

Su Yan had never ridden a horse before, and the first time it was like this, after getting off the horse, she only felt dizzy and her legs and feet were weak, but she didn't dare to delay at all, and forced her legs to go to Tang Yinchu's yard with her legs open.

Most of the doctors in the town have arrived, and a group of people are sitting or standing, frowning and discussing Tang Yinchu's situation, Mrs. Tang stood at the head of the bed and couldn't stop wiping her tears, and her eager eyes fell on the doctors in the room from time to time.

"Miss Su is here!"

The maid guarding outside the house made a report, drawing everyone's attention to Su Yan.

Mrs. Tang saw a piece of driftwood before she was suffocated by a drowning person, and rushed forward, "Miss Su save Chu'er!" ”

She looked sad, and when she spoke, she was about to kneel down, Su Yan hurriedly helped her up, "Mrs. Tang doesn't have to be like this, I will definitely do my best." ”

Listening to the conversation between the two, the doctor in the room understood what was going on, and looked at each other for a moment, and there was a person who couldn't hold his breath or thought very highly of himself couldn't help but speak, "Mrs. Tang, don't you believe me waiting?" ”

He looked at Su Yan from head to toe, and said disdainfully: "What can a yellow-haired girl with a milky smell of before drying!" ”

If it were a weekday, Su Yan would definitely sneer at these people, and let them understand the power of the "yellow-haired girl", but at this time, she didn't have the heart to deal with these people at all.

On the bed, Tang Yinchu lay quietly, his face was pale, even his lips were blue, and the daiqing tuanhua brocade was hidden on his chin, which made his face look like ashes.

Su Yan's fingertips put on his wrist resting outside the brocade quilt, it was actually a cold tentacle, she frowned slightly, reached out to Tang Yinchu's neck and cheeks, and opened the brocade quilt to probe other parts of his body, and the places she touched were all cold, like ice.

After checking the pulse and pondering for a while, Su Yan looked up at Mrs. Tang, frowned and asked, "Ah Chu was unwell a few days ago?" ”

"No ......" Mrs. Tang wanted to deny it, Huo Ran remembered something, hesitated and said: "Chu'er seems to be very afraid of the cold these days, and before it is winter, he shouts to warm the stove......"

Hearing this, Su Yan's brows furrowed even tighter, and she pierced Tang Yinchu's fingers with a silver needle and squeezed out a few drops of blood and melted them into the water, and sent a little bit of her fingertips to her mouth for detailed identification.

Seeing her move like this, an old doctor with gray sideburns in the room curled up his beard, and said in disapproval: "Reckless! Reckless! ”

These words resonated with many doctors, and the voice of Ying He buzzed.

Su Yan didn't want to deal with them, but the voice in her ears was really disturbing, she turned her head and said coldly: "Could it be that everyone has a better way?" ”

Su Yan's voice was originally a little soft and glutinous, but now it was full of suddenness, and her tone was not good, she drank everyone for a while, and the room suddenly became quiet, Su Yan turned to face Mrs. Tang, and her tone was slightly softened, "Please ask Mrs. to invite these people out, I want to give a needle to Ah Chu." ”

Tang Yin's early poison is called Xue Shangsong, which is a kind of chronic □□, poisoned people are more and more afraid of cold day by day, and after the poison is released, it is even colder, if it cannot be detoxified in time, the blood will coagulate and die in less than half a month.

This kind of □□ is not common among the people, and Su Yan can identify it because of the fact that it is recorded in Dr. Han's codex.

Although he was unwilling, the doctors in the house still had to obey the wishes of the master's family, and all of them were invited out of the house, and some of them left immediately, but a few of them stayed to see what method Su Yan used to save the young master of the Tang family, but the doors and windows were closed and nothing could be seen.

Nearly half an hour later, a muffled cough came from the quiet room, which seemed to be vomiting blood, and then the maid's happy voice sounded: "Wake up, wake up!" The young master is awake! ”

Awake? Several doctors outside the house looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, and they all saw shock in each other's eyes.

***

Although Tang Yin woke up at the beginning, the toxins in his body had not yet been discharged, and in the next few days, he needed to take a daily medicinal bath and apply needles to force the toxins out little by little, so Su Yan stayed in the Tang Mansion temporarily.

The person who poisoned him had already found out that it was a maid who was serving by Tang Yinchu's side, and he committed suicide that day, leaving no words, but Su Yan always felt that Mrs. Tang seemed to know the real mastermind behind the scenes.

Because the materials required for preparation are rare and expensive, and the preparation process is cumbersome, Xue Shangsong is not common among the people, and Mrs. Tang, a woman who has been widowed for many years, has a stupid son, and there will be a lot of trouble for Tang Yinchu!

After six years of correspondence, Su Yan realized that she knew very little about this Tang Mansion.

Although there are many doubts in her heart, after all, it is a family matter of the Tang Mansion, if Mrs. Tang does not want to tell, Su Yan will naturally not ask, she only thinks that she has not discovered these mysteries, and still tries her best to heal Tang Yinchu.

Two months passed in a flash, and the poison in Tang Yinchu's body was finally discharged, and the medicinal bath and acupuncture were no longer needed, and the remaining poison could be cleared by taking medicine every day.

It was the middle of winter, and there were several snowfalls in the past few days, but now it has turned into ice.

The room was warm and tight, the silver charcoal in the gilded copper furnace placed in the four corners was burned red, Su Yan finished diagnosing Tang Yin's pulse for the first time, and the maid brought the boiled medicine, Tang Yinchu, who had always been disgusted with the medicine, rarely needed caramel today, and poured all the black and bitter medicinal juice in the bowl into his mouth in one go.

Seeing Tang Yinchu's cooperation, Su Yan's last worries in her heart were all put down, and she considered resigning to Mrs. Tang.

Mrs. Tang naturally wanted to stay, and even asked Su Yan to stay in the mansion for the New Year, but Su Yan insisted on going back to the small mountain village, so Mrs. Tang had to order someone to prepare a generous gift for Uncle Jin to send Su Yan back.

Before leaving, Tang Yinchu chased her out of the house, looked at her inexplicably for a long time, and suddenly smiled, "Ayan, let's go to see the lanterns together on the Shangyuan Festival!" ”

Since I met Tang Yinchu, I have to accompany him to watch the lanterns almost every year, and now that I heard him say this, Su Yan nodded very naturally and responded: "Okay." ”

Before she could finish speaking, she fell into the arms of the man in front of her, her cheek pressed against the cold skirt of his clothes, and her chest stirred in her ears, and she heard him say—

"Ah Chu likes Ah Yan, I like it so much, I like it so much."

It was obviously a very happy tone, but Su Yan actually heard it in a stunned way.

"Ah Chu ......," Su Yan snorted.

In the past, if Tang Yinchu said such a thing, Su Yan would definitely respond to him with a smile without thinking about it: "Ah Yan also likes Ah Chu!" "I don't know why, I can't say anything when the words come to my lips today.

The next moment, Tang Yinchu had already let go of her, he took a step back and turned his back, covering his eyes with both hands and said very childishly: "Hurry up, go quickly!" If you don't leave, I won't let you go! ”

Su Yan was stunned for a moment, shook her head and chuckled.

It's still the same as before.

A few days before the New Year, Su Yan thought that it would be extremely difficult for the heavy snow to close the mountain and go down again, so she asked Uncle Jin to take her to the county seat to buy some New Year's goods.

The smell of the new year is getting stronger, people come and go in the bazaar, and before they reach the street, the carriage is already difficult to walk, Jin Bo went to store the carriage, and Su Yan stood on the street waiting for him.

Suddenly, a piece of cloth covered her mouth and nose behind herself, and before Su Yan could resist, she inhaled the drug and was paralyzed and unconscious.

***

The hard and cold ground continued to transmit coolness, Su Yan was confused and wanted to move her body to avoid the biting cold, but found that her body was sore, weak and unable to lift a little bit of strength, and what happened before the coma poured into her mind, Su Yan was refreshed, and Huo Di opened her eyes.

The dimly lit empty room, the sealed doors and windows around her, and the hands firmly tied behind her all show her current situation.

For a moment, Su Yan's mind went blank, until her gaze focused again, and she glanced at the ground in the distance, and the biting chill encroached on her attention again.

It was cold and snowy outside, and there was no better room without a heat source, and being thrown on the cold ground for a long time, Su Yan's body was a little stiff, and she tried her best to suppress the fear of facing the unknown future in her heart, struggling to move her body and sit up.

The strength of the drug has not disappeared, her limbs are weak, this action really took a lot of effort, Su Yan sat up easily, and before she had time to catch her breath, she was attracted by the sound of conversation outside the door.

"Big brother, didn't the boss say let ......, why do you still keep it?"

"Third child, you are stupid! It's a pity to kill such a good thing, no matter what, you have to let the brothers be happy first! ”

“……”

Su Yan had no intention of listening to the next words, she was shocked and frightened, and the footsteps that were getting closer and closer were amplified countless times and resounded in her ears, as if stepping on her heart, making her blood coagulate.

The straight door in front of him was pushed open, and the shadow of the person in front of the door was infinitely elongated and projected onto Su Yan's body, densely blocking the only bright hall.

Su Yan raised her eyes tremblingly.

There were three men standing in front of the threshold, the one headed by the man was wearing a blue brocade robe, his hands were behind his back, and he was surrounded by the elegance of some scholars, and then looking up, Su Yan was shocked, and gasped, only to see that the person had a scar obliquely covering from the center of his eyebrows to the corner of his mouth, ugly and hideous.

The horror on her face that she couldn't hide made the two strong men behind the man laugh, "The little beauty is scared!" ”

Gu Jiang, the scarred man, stood there without saying a word and waited for the laughter behind him to fade away, he glanced back slightly, and the words that came out of his mouth were bitterly cold, "Enough laughter?" ”

The two strong men were silent, and they didn't know how to answer.

"Then get out of here."

Of the three, he looked the thinnest, but he only used one sentence to make the two strong men leave the house.

Gu Jiang crossed the threshold, and there was a caretaker behind him who closed the door for him.

He walked leisurely, leisurely, and approached Gu Mian step by step, and when he took a step closer, Su Yan struggled to move back an inch.

As Su Yan moved backwards, Gu Jiang's face became more and more treacherous, and the cruelty in his eyes seemed to overflow into his eye sockets to engulf Su Yan, until Su Yan leaned against the wall behind him and couldn't retreat a bit, he stopped, curled up with his eyes and tried extremely hard to control his fear but still trembling Su Yan, for a long time, he suddenly let out a chuckle, "Are you afraid?" ”

His smile was full of self-deprecation and self-abandonment, and his words were indifferent, and Su Yan couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at him.

Gu Jiang pointed to the hideous scar on his face, took a step closer again, and asked stubbornly, "Are you afraid?" ”

His expression was paranoid with a faint madness, and Su Yan involuntarily shrank backwards.

This action is like a □□, and the deeply buried gunpowder explodes instantly.

Gu Jiang stepped forward and picked up Gu Mian, pressed her against the wall and roared in a low voice, "Are you afraid of suing me?" Afraid! ”

At the end of the roar, his voice became gentle, against Su Yan's forehead, and his tone was like a whisper between lovers, "Are you afraid, huh?" ”

What Su Yan has seen and learned in her fifteen years of life is the light and warmth of the world, and for those dark sides of intrigue and viciousness, she has at most seen a few glances from afar in Dr. Han's arms, and she has not even touched a single bit. In this situation, she had to face an uncertain person like Gu Jiang, and all her reactions were just fear, endless fear.

The eyes of the person in front of him were full of fear, and his trembling body made Gu Jiang more and more irritable, and his hand gradually moved up, from the placket to Su Yan's neck, slowly, little by little.

Looking at her eyes that widened due to extreme horror and slightly opened her mouth that was struggling to breathe, Gu Jiang rose into excitement while being irritable, and he used more and more force in his hands, tightly choking the slender and fragile neck, and muttered in his mouth: "You are afraid of me, you are afraid of me like her...... Then you all go to death! Go to hell! ”

The air in her lungs was squeezed out little by little, and gradually, Su Yan struggled less and less, until she completely lowered her hands, her eyes were half-closed and her mouth was weak, and she let the hand on her neck take away her hope.

Feeling that the person in front of him was no longer struggling, Gu Jiang panicked, he hurriedly let go of the hand that was holding Su Yan's neck, and took her limp body into his arms, helpless.

The neck was loosened, and Su Yan took a long time to recover from Fang Cai's suffocation, and was busy breathing heavily, accidentally choking for a while, and coughing heartbreakingly.

The cough woke Gu Jiang up from his imminent collapse, he pushed Su Yan out of his arms, stood up and glanced at Su Yan who was lying on the ground, and walked away quickly.

Su Yan hunched her body and couldn't help gasping, after her fear reached an extreme, she felt a little calm in her heart, and struggled to sit up and lean against the wall behind her to think about her situation.

Listening to the conversation between those people just now, it seemed that she had offended someone, and that person wanted her life.

This is the only thing Su Yan knows now, and the rest has no clue.

Where is she being held now? Will you be able to get out alive?

Who did she offend? Why do you offend?

Su Yan didn't know anything.

It's just that......

Thinking of the attitude of that person just now, Su Yan had doubts in her heart.

He looked like he was the leader of these people, so he should have thought of her as someone else......

Just as Su Yan's thoughts were flying, the whispering sound of the guards outside the door came -

"Hey! Qiangzi, what happened to the big brother just now? Looks weird and scary ......"

"What else, I'm sick!"

"Speaking of which, I'm late, I don't know where the madness of my eldest brother came from, Qiangzi, tell me?"

"Alas! I also listen to other people...... Have you seen the scar on your eldest brother's face? I heard that the eldest brother was the son of a big man, and there was a girl who grew up as a childhood sweetheart, and the two of them talked about marriage, but somehow, the eldest brother's family disappeared overnight! Only him and the nurse are left, hey! That's the fierce mother-in-law! The eldest brother avenged the family with the help of the nobleman above, and the scar on his face was left at that time, and then the eldest brother turned back to find the girl, and the girl was afraid of the scar on the eldest brother's face and refused to marry him, and I don't know what happened, the girl died, and the eldest brother also got mad from that time...... And then that's what you see. ”

There are all kinds of things in the world, and the ugliest side seems to be what Gu Jiang can bear.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Su Yan's doubts were slightly relieved.

It turned out that the man had taken her for his fiancée......

Thinking about it this way, if she can use this point properly, she will not have to worry about her life for the time being.

Realizing this, Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about how to use this to save her life.

But she forgot one thing
