Chapter 4: Mermaid Love Song 4
Lu Xigu's eyes were sharp and anxious, and he kept looking around, looking for traces of Huo Qu's illness. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He was worried that he had come too late, and that his beloved disease had been trafficked and left in a foreign country. As soon as he thought of this, Lu Xigu's heart suddenly ached.
When Lu Xigu was still looking, the crowd automatically split, and at this time, a child came out of it, it was the girl who gave Huo the sick rice porridge. I saw that she was not afraid, her eyes looked at Lu Xigu firmly, and she opened her mouth to spit out a clear and tactful voice:
"I know where the kid is."
After speaking, he turned around and led the way, Lu Xigu looked at her behind her for a long time before slowly keeping up with her pace. The girl took Lu Xigu to a corner of the house and stopped, turning her head to look back at Lu Xigu. Lu Xigu stood behind the girl and observed here, but did not find the slightest figure.
Lu Xigu was annoyed in his heart at the moment, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands and about to execute the girl, the sword came out of the sheath quickly, like a ray of light rushing towards the girl, everyone was frightened by this sudden scene, and no one thought of getting up to stop it. Just like that, I watched as the tip of the sword stabbed into the girl's neck, waiting for a young life to fall.
Lu ...... Brother Lu"
A subtle and weak voice came from the shadows, Lu Xigu suddenly stopped the strength in his hand, and the sword stopped in an instant, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. I saw that the tip of the sword had already penetrated a slight trace of blood on the girl's neck, as long as Lu Xigu exerted more force, that faint voice sounded later, I am afraid that the girl will return to the west.
Lu Xigu put down the hilt of his sword in a panic, looked towards the place where the voice came from, but did not see the slightest figure, Lu Xigu turned his head in confusion and issued an order to the guards who were still waiting at the door:
"Come here with a team of people, search!"
The guards at the door of the house trained in an orderly manner and automatically split into a small group of people and walked towards Lu Xigu, and this group of people searched in that dark corner with Lu Xigu, but in addition to the straw or straw in the corner, the guards overturned the straw all over the house, and they scattered it all over the house, and they didn't see Huo Quai's figure.
Lu Xigu was anxious but helpless, such a helpless situation made Lu Xigu angry. With the worry of Huo Qu's illness in his heart, he was worried about it. The more angry Lu Xigu felt in his heart, the heavier his anger became. Lu Xigu, who had been lost in anger, began to walk towards the girl, and the sword creaked in his hand.
Suddenly, Lu Xigu stumbled and fell to the ground, and the guards behind him hurriedly stepped forward to help. Lu Xigu raised his hand to signal them not to move. Lu Xigu sat like this, looked at the girl with a strange expression, and didn't stand up, just crawled to the place where he fell.
I saw that the place had collapsed, and it was obvious that it was not a floor paved with bluestone bricks, but a piece of solid wood dyed with the color of bluestone and paved there as bricks. Lu Xigu quickly lifted the wooden board with his hand, and in the dim candlelight, a young figure curled up inside, and there was no sound of shouting to Brother Lu.
Lu Xigu's eyes were full of tears, and he carefully took Huo Quzhi out of it. Huo Quai's face was dirty, and his little face was full of wounds. The ragged clothes can no longer see the original gorgeousness. Lu Xigu stretched out his hand painfully and stroked Huo Quzhi's cheek tremblingly, just a slight touch could make Huo Quzhi exhale in pain.
The bruised and swollen parts of the cheeks were terrifying, and Huo Quzhi's body was cold, like an ice sculpture in the cold snow. Lu Xigu's face was full of remorse, self-blame and distress. He carefully surrounded Huo Qubing in his cloak and guarded it tightly in his heart. Don't let him get hurt in the slightest.
Lu Xigu stood up slowly, his tall back illuminated by the dim candlelight, which made people feel even more tall and majestic. He turned around, his eyes sharp, and the children standing around him couldn't help but hang their heads and look at their toes. Lu Xigu sneered:
"Take them all back!"
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left the house with Huo Quai, and when he walked to the girl's side, Lu Xigu stopped for a while before he spoke slowly:
"Take her back to the house."
Lu Xigu walked outside the door, the sky was slightly bright, and dawn was coming. The six-day search finally came to fruition, and Lu Xigu also showed a smile on his face that he hadn't seen for a long time, but before he was happy, Lu Xigu lowered his head worriedly and looked at the little guy in his arms.
Suddenly, Lu Xigu lowered his head, put his hand into the cloak, and his face suddenly turned pale. There was no time to get into the carriage, Lu Xigu directly snatched one of his horses, turned over and left quickly.
Lu Xigu tightly protected Huo Qubing in his arms, and he didn't dare to move, the heat in his heart became more and more obvious, and Lu Xigu's heart became more and more anxious. If it's just a fever, it's easy to solve, but I'm afraid it's not a fever, but typhoid fever.
The sun is starting to rise, and it should be a cold, shivering winter. Lu Xigu let sweat soak his clothes. His eyes were anxious, and he kept beating his horses. Expect it to be faster and faster.
I finally saw the castle tower of the capital. Lu Xigu didn't have time to deal with the guards guarding the city, so he rode his horse and galloped away, injuring two guards in the process. He didn't have time to think about the consequences of doing this, he might expose his identity, and he didn't have time to think about how much trouble he would get into by doing so. Now he just wants to return to the Lu Mansion as soon as possible.
Lu Xigu ran wildly all the way, rushed to the door of the house at dawn, kicked the door open, and ignored the surprised look of the family, just walked towards the house quickly. While shouting:
"Get the doctor here!"
Lu Zhizhen went back to the house and frowned when he heard the doorkeeper's report. But in the end, he didn't say anything, just waved his hand and asked people to go to Huo's house to reply. I went back to the house, changed into civilian clothes, and walked towards the west courtyard.
At this time, the West Cross Courtyard was already jumping, and the house doctor was busy in the house to diagnose the pulse and prescribe prescriptions. The maids went in and out, carrying basins and water. A basin of hot water is handed in, and a basin of cold water is brought out. On the gauze of some end plates, some mottled blood stains can be clearly seen.
Lu Zhizhen was taken aback by such a formation, and wondered in his heart that if he didn't go out to look for someone, how could it be like a shopping struggle when he came back. He carefully avoided the hurried maids and the miscellaneous items piled up on the ground, and the sight of entering the house surprised him even more.
Lu Xigu sat on the edge of the bed carefully, his sweaty clothes were still ready to be changed, and he was dried by the fire and put on his body. Lu Zhizhen knew that this child had a serious habit of cleanliness since he was a child, and he couldn't tolerate such dirt, and today's situation is really rare.
After taking a closer look, Lu Xigu carefully picked up a towel and soaked it in hot water, waited for it to be warm, then took it out and wrung it out, and carefully wiped the wound for Huo Quai.
