Xiao Ning paused and turned over again.

After walking a short distance, he turned his head to look at me and said, "What are you doing in a daze, and you don't keep up?" ”

His tone was a little cold, the corners of his lips curled, and he continued to say softly: "If you are delayed on the road for a long time, I am afraid that you will have to stay in the forest overnight, but there are not only these on the mountain." ”

He turned around and glanced at the prey hanging on the horse, and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid there are still wolves." “

As soon as I finished speaking, I raised my hand and pulled off the horse's back vigorously, and suddenly exerted force, and the usually docile horse immediately spread its hooves and galloped.

Until he was pulled down by me, I looked back in shock.

Xiao Ning rode his horse and said with a smile in his eyes: "It can be seen that people's potential is endless, only that there are wolves, and I didn't even hear the howl, but my riding skills have improved by leaps and bounds." “

I glanced at him angrily and hurried straight ahead.

Before I knew it, there was an inconspicuous fork in the woods, and I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to think too much, and a gust of wind drove my horses in the direction of the destination that I had taken for granted.

Far away, Xiao Ning's voice calling me faintly sounded, I couldn't hear what he said, and I didn't have the heart to stop.

It wasn't until I pulled him down again, and I couldn't even hear the faint sound before, and I had only the sound of the wind in my ears, that I realized that I had run far away.

Calculate the time, isn't it time for the shadow of the camp to appear directly in front of you?

What about the large number of ghostly attendants that Xiao Ning brought with him?

I sat on my horse, coughing because I had inhaled so much cold air, and looked around, but the sky was getting darker, and the whole paddock was covered with tall trees, and the light in the forest was much darker than outside.

At this moment, the figure is alone, which adds a bit of gloomy color.

Reaching out and touching the mount that was following me, the horse meekly replied to meekly. On the contrary, it calmed the feelings that I was at a loss for what to do at the moment and the anxiety that surged up in my heart.

A bold thought came to me suddenly.

According to Xiao Ning's established plan, the attendants he drove away must have waited at the camp he had mentioned before.

Xiao Ning, at this time, should still be on the way to find me.

If. If so, do I find the other way to the outside of the paddock mountain?

The thought that popped up suddenly made my breath short, but after a while, I calmed down again, how could I forget that the entrance to the paddock was most likely guarded.

Can I find such a way, and even if I do, what reason will I use to persuade the attendants guarding the entrance to the edge of the paddock to let me go?

I subconsciously bit my lip and thought about it. There was another long delay, and it was darker than before.

The cold wind blew through the woods, and the originally tight clothes looked thin

Following the figure in front of her who was gradually out of sight, watching her lose her way in the forest, Xiao Ning's lips flashed with a bitter smile.

The evening breeze is cold in the forest. Loneliness struck the world, as if he was left again in heaven and earth.

Is it going to be out of sight like this, and to leave him like this?

There are 10,000 voices in my heart saying let go, letting go is the best choice, but the only little obsession left in my heart is like a spark in the spring.

Acting one step faster than reason, and before she had time to think about it, she followed in her direction

He raised his hand and tied the horse to the pole of a large tree nearest to me. With my back to the tree, I sat down slowly.

In the woods submerged in the night, a crescent moon could be seen faintly among the branches and leaves of the treetops.

The paddock trees were taller and denser than the rest, and the moonlight rarely shone through the gaps between the leaves.

In the cold wind, I felt a hint of fatigue, maybe. The long-planned plan will be delayed because of the accident in front of me, and the worst plan is to stay here for one night, and at Xiao Ning's speed, I may be able to find me early in the morning.

Ponder over. But I didn't think about another possibility, that is, I took the initiative to find him.

Wu shook his head to himself, dispelling this very unrealistic thought, not to mention that I don't remember where I came from just now, if I look for it by feeling, the dim light in front of me doesn't even have a torch to illuminate the way ahead, it's just empty talk

Squatting and leaning against the edge of the tree, I almost fell asleep when the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near.

Shocked by the silence of the night, when I suddenly opened my eyes, I saw several horsemen holding torches galloping towards Xiao Ning.

Stopping more than a dozen feet away from me, Xiao Ning quickly got off the horse.

To my astonishment, the squire who was following him turned his horse's head and deliberately retreated some distance.

Xiao Ning walked up to me, his steps staggered a little, he leaned down and grabbed my arm, and looked at me with a pair of eyes full of anger.

"What are you running?"

I was still immersed in the ignorance of half dreaming and half waking up, and it was only after he questioned me that I came back to my senses completely.

"I'm lost, I can't remember the way, plus it's dark, I can't see clearly in the woods, I"

Xiao Ning interrupted me coldly, stretched out his hand to bring me closer to him, and said in a deep voice: "From now on, you are not allowed to leave me for a single step." “

Reaching out and grabbing my wrist, he led me all the way to the horse, and the docile mount I had just ridden by myself had already been led away by his observant men.

Instinctively resisting to ride with him, he had a lot of strength in his hands, and after several unsuccessful attempts to break free, he looked up and looked at the light of the torches, and his expression looked different from before.

Thinking of the plan in my heart, the plan that was about to be put into action, in an instant, my heart softened, and I didn't resist anymore, and it was rare to follow him.

The sound of the wind swept in his ears, and Xiao Ning behind him didn't say a word, and surrounded the horse team all the way along the dense forest of the paddock, and soon arrived at the open road.

In a turn, the breathing of the person behind me became heavier, and the hand holding me trembled a little, and I realized that something was wrong and turned back

I waited anxiously outside the big tent, the tent was surprisingly quiet, I leaned against the bushes, and saw Xiao Ning's personal attendant entering and leaving the big tent, his steps were hurried, and my heart swelled up for a while, if he was a little sluggish just now, he fell off the horse, what kind of situation would it be now, I dare not think

The last person who came out of the account was a doctor I had seen in the Tai Hospital, but I didn't expect that Xiao Ning would bring such a person on this trip.

Recalling that a few days ago, the secret letter sent by Mr. Ge mentioned that he had recently stayed in the palace to develop new drugs and had no time to be separated, which seemed to be true.

It's just that this doctor has a trace of confusion in my heart, is he preparing for himself?

The moment before he was carried into the big tent, the little strength he had left made him silently spit out four words: "Don't follow up." “

I understood, and so did the attendants, but now that I'm outside, I can't feel any more relaxed

After hesitating for a few seconds, I walked over and called out to the doctor with a solemn face.

Before I could speak, there was a sudden sound of a porcelain bowl breaking in the big tent, mixed with Xiao Ning's low impatient voice: "Get out!" “

Sounds like I'm in a terrible mood!

I hesitated for a moment, and finally ran towards the tent.

Before I could enter the door, another teacup smashed over me, narrowly smashing into my foot! "Xiao Ning!" He saw that it was me, his face softened a little, but he still turned his head and said coldly: "What are you doing here?" ”

I stood still, looked at him and said, "Have you done the math?" “

Xiao Ning looked at me with a frown. "The porcelain from the official kiln in Dingzhou is five taels of silver."

I exaggerated a gesture and just squandered it!

When we were on the boat, this was a very memorable scene for me, sure enough, persuasion was never useful, and I didn't bother to say it, but this sentence made the corners of Xiao Ning's mouth move in an instant.

I don't know any less about him than I thought.

"Reasoning, I can't say anything, but Jianghuai has been trained, I want to try, is it more qualified to be your attending doctor, can you let me practice?"

"I'm more expensive than porcelain."

"I didn't say you're cheap, right?"

"If you can't be healed, you're not afraid of your head?"

"I'm afraid, I'm scared to death, but you have three long and two short ones trapped here, and I can't even get out of this forest."

Xiao Ning looked at me and froze for a moment

The fire in the tent was warm, I approached the fire, looked at the steaming medicinal soup on the stove, and the attendant who had been guarding the door and watched me asked in an uncertain tone: "Doctor Lin, what else do you need?" ”

I said indifferently: "It's enough, as long as he is okay tonight, the top priority is to relieve his pain." ”

The attendant quietly withdrew, and I was the only one left in the tent.

Reaching into my sleeve, the medicine that Mr. Ge sent for me had been properly placed in a few places that I could easily reach, except for the one in my sleeve that I was worried about losing, and the one in a hollow hairpin on my head.

I have waited for so long, and I have planned every step of action, but when the opportunity in front of me is so easily sent, I hesitated, my eyes darkened, and my mind flashed through what he had done to me in the past few months, and my heart was sour for a while

The few months I have been in the Lingering Garden have completely cut off my contact with the outside world, and my words and deeds are under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, but the person who is thousands of miles away, if I exchange places with him, how should I deal with myself?!

All the tangled feelings were suppressed in an instant, and the fingers holding the medicine bag tightened, and I raised my hand again to slowly add the pale cyan medicinal powder to the boiling decoction, but the amount was a little different from what Mr. Ge had told

Feet did not stop stepping into the big tent, Xiao Ning had already sat up, leaning on the cushion his face looked pale and weak, he took the medicine I sent, and before I exited the tent, he whispered to me. "It's cold in the mountains, remember to cover the quilt tightly."

I frowned at him and said softly, "I think it's better for you to worry about yourself first." “
