Since he was ordered to arrive at the Jiuping Iron Mine in November last year to investigate the case, Su Yixing never thought that he would reunite with the long-lost Xia Shuanghan in this northwest border pass in such an unexpected way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The 20 days were a tiring journey, two months of visits from all sides, the settling of laborers in the first month, and the temporary duties of the newly appointed officials in February...... In the past few months, countless busy things have made Su Yixing stay in Tongcheng Pass long enough.

In the leisure time of official exchanges, Su Yixing, who occasionally chatted with Liu Zirun cooking tea, would look at the mountains outside the gate from time to time and think of Xia Shuanghan, who was five hundred miles away from him and stayed with Lu Shaoyun in Naming Village, and didn't know if he was doing well now.

It's just that if you can't let go of thinking, you are destined to only think about it. Because, first, he has no friendship with Xia Shuanghan, and he has no qualifications and position to worry about her by her future husband's side; Second, even if they become friends, the care of their friends will only add unnecessary troubles and complications to the Red and White Pill case.

Therefore, even though Su Yixing often thinks of her while fiddling with Xia Shuanghan's seal, he has his own sense of proportion, but he never thought that he would see her in the jurisdiction of Tongcheng Pass.

On the 15th of February, it was a day of dense clouds and howling cold winds. Su Yixing, who went out of the customs by carriage the day before yesterday and went to Jiuping Iron Mine to inspect the reconstruction of the mine and the resumption of iron ore production, stayed on the iron mine for more than a day and two nights, until dawn on the 15th, when he had spent another night on the iron mine and had a simple breakfast, he finally embarked on the return journey.

On the carriage with the wheels "gurgling", Su Yixing, who was leaning against the wall of the carriage and closing his eyes to recuperate, was disturbed by the wolf howl from a distance and the gentle knocking sound of the nearby window.

"What's wrong, Qinglan, what's wrong?" Su Yixing, who knew that something was going to happen, opened his eyes and asked, "What is it that is worth your eagerness to ring the car window?" ”

"Back to the world, there is a Rong girl in front of me who is surrounded by wolves. Qinglan wants to go to the rescue. ”

The sound of words coming from outside the carriage made Su Yixing sit up straight, raise his hand and open the window. Li Qinglan, who looked past the car window, only saw that on the snowy wilderness, surrounded by wolves, was a girl dressed in red and curled up on a huge rock.

"Go ahead, watch out for yourself." Somehow, Su Yixing, who suddenly felt that the figure curled up on the top of the rock was inexplicably familiar, raised his hand and motioned to the guard Li Qinglan to take a bow and arrow as soon as possible to fight quickly, and then, after closing the window, he leaned against the wall of the carriage again.

In the moment that Li Qinglan left, the carriage was still moving forward unhurriedly on the silent and uninhabited official road. Su Yixing, who closed his eyes again to recuperate, would never have thought that the girl Li Qinglan was about to save was the Xia Shuanghan he had been thinking about in recent months.

"Shizi, it's Miss Xia, Qinglan saved it, it's Miss Xia Shuang and Cold!" A moment later, the news brought back by Li Qinglan, who had gone and returned, made Su Yixing, who was sitting in the carriage, get up and walk quickly in disbelief, lift the curtain, and then lean half of his body out of the carriage.

Xia Shuanghan, whose eyes were closed and his face was bloodless, seemed to have no breath, was now lying quietly in Li Qinglan's arms. And Su Yixing, who saw such a weak and haggard Xia Shuanghan, couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and then stretched out his arms and hugged her into his arms.

"Quick, hurry up and enter the city as soon as possible." Su Yixing, who had swept Xia Shuang's cold body, quickly commanded the coachman. Then, when he turned around and returned to the carriage, he neatly put Xia Shuanghan on the low floor where he had just sat on.

"Xia Shuanghan, don't die, you must not die!" Facing the summer frost and cold, which looked like it would disappear at any time, Su Yixing only felt that his chest was so suffocated that he was about to lose his breath.

Su Yixing, who quickly probed her almost untouchable pulse, connected a few life-saving points on Xia Shuanghan's body, and then began to take off her ice-covered clothes with his hands and feet to further look at her injuries.

Issues such as whether men and women are intimate or not, Su Yixing, who was busy saving Xia Shuanghan's life, couldn't care about it. He took off her middle shirt and pants, groped for Xia Shuanghan's body, and after making sure that she was not broken and that there were no life-threatening bleeding spots on her body, he stuffed her into the blanket on the couch.

Su Yixing, who ripped off the only remaining dirty clothes and pants on Xia Shuanghan's body through the blanket, and then pushed her acupoints, only trying to warm her up as soon as possible. And the facts have proved that his efforts were not in vain.

When the carriage carried Xia Shuanghan, whose vital signs had gradually stabilized, into Tongcheng Pass, it was not far from dusk. Holding in his arms, Su Yixing, who was still asleep wrapped in a blanket, ordered the coachman to go straight to the office where he was now staying, and then after the carriage stopped, he carried the person in his arms into the room next to his bedroom.

Liu Zirun, who appeased the iron mine workers in the first month and did not receive a temporary appointment order, had already set off for Beijing half a month ago to resume his life. Therefore, before the newly appointed officials who succeeded the original corrupt and derelict officials arrived, there was only one person in this huge office, Su Yixing, who could give orders as the master.

"Qinglan, you go and invite Doctor Qin over first, and then instruct the stove to boil hot water." In the clean and tidy room, Su Yixing, who shook off the quilt on the bed and covered the summer frost wrapped in a blanket, ordered: "By the way, there is also the daughter of the couple in the stove room, you bring her over and let her take care of Miss Xia." ”

"Yes." Li Qinglan, who didn't say much nonsense, turned around and walked out of the house to take orders after Su Yixing's voice lagged. So a moment later, because Princess Xiangyang was worried about the remoteness of Tongcheng Pass and the lack of medical treatment, she specially asked Su Yixing to take Dr. Qin, who accompanied her, to carry the medicine box and hurried to Xia Shuanghan's hospital bed.

"How? Does she have internal injuries? Waiting for Dr. Qin to take Xia Shuanghan's pulse, Su Yixing, who had already treated the bleeding spots on her back and calves, was afraid that Xia Shuanghan would also suffer internal injuries that he couldn't detect.

"This girl's life is fine, and there are no internal injuries on her body." After carefully feeling the pulse of summer frost and cold, and then raised his hand to deviate from her head, and touched the lump on the back of her head that bulged out after she fell into the water because she hit a rock, Doctor Qin sighed and said, "It's just that this girl still has two diseases, which people should not take lightly." ”

"First, the girl suffered an impact on the back of her head, causing internal bleeding, and judging from the pulse, the qi congestion and blood stagnation at the wound area compressed the meridians, and it is estimated that her eyes will have vision disorders for nearly a month. Of course, it is not difficult to prescribe a few pairs of decoctions that invigorate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis to treat them well, and the medicine will cure the disease. It's just that in the last six or seven days, once there is a bump, she will have headaches, nausea, and physical discomfort. Therefore, it is better not to act in a short period of time. ”

"Second, this girl must have soaked in biting ice water in the last year or two when she was severely affected by wind and cold, which caused the cold to sink into her bones, and she was always much more cold than ordinary people in winter. This time, she soaked in ice water shortly after the letter period, and even caused multiple frostbites on her body. In the future, I am afraid that her chills will become more and more serious, and in this life, it will be difficult for her heirs. ”

"Having a hard time? If you start to recuperate from now on, is there still room for maneuver? When he was in the capital, he inquired about Xia Shuanghan's past, so Su Yixing knew that Xia Shuanghan had jumped off the Huitong River on the night of the Lantern Festival in order to save Liu Mingzhu and was infected with severe wind and cold.

"If you start conditioning from now, you may be able to have children normally in six or seven years, but I'm not sure about this!" Looking at the young girl lying on the bed, Doctor Qin shook his head and sighed: "It's no wonder that Shen Fanyi, a generation of miracle doctors, has traveled all over the world and still hasn't heard from him, otherwise if he is there, this girl's illness may be cured within a year or two." ”

"Shen Fanyi, Shen Shen Divine Doctor?" Su Yixing, who silently wrote down this name in his heart, did not know that this miracle doctor he would be looking for for a long time in the future would be found by Lu Shaoyun, who had already become friends with him in his previous life. However, even if he knew that Su Yixing, who had shifted all his attention to the problem of Xia Shuanghan's visual obstacle at this time, had no extra mind to pay attention to other things. "Her eyes won't leave sequelae, right?"

"No, as long as the bruise clears, her eyes will be completely normal." Doctor Qin, who nodded in affirmation, lowered his head and glanced at Xia Shuanghan wrapped in the blanket around his neck again, stood up and said, "I'll go and order my subordinates to grab the medicine and decoct the medicine now, as for the external injuries on this girl's body, I believe that you have your own way." ”

"......" Su Yixing, who watched Dr. Qin step out of the room, didn't have time to react differently because he had almost seen Xia Shuanghan's body, and the girl Tiger Girl with the hot water basin came to Xia Shuanghan's hospital bed.

In the process of the tiger girl wiping her body for Xia Shuanghan and changing into clean clothes, Su Yixing chose to go out to avoid. After a while, it wasn't until the tiger girl who re-medicated Xia Shuanghan and bandaged her wounds went to the next room to return to the next room that Su Yixing, who had hastily eaten dinner, returned to Xia Shuanghan's side again.

Under the flickering candlelight, Su Yixing, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and staring down at Xia Shuanghan, who was still asleep, couldn't help but reach out and hold Xia Shuanghan's right hand outside the quilt. "Didn't Lu Shaoyun just go to the Tongcheng military camp a few days ago to order elite soldiers to go out of the customs, but why, you, who should be safe and sound by his side, have now become like this?"

Xia Shuanghan, who was immersed in sleep, could not answer and respond to Su Yixing's questions. Su Yixing, who was quietly waiting for the decoction to be sent over from the stove room, also had no extra hope for Xia Shuanghan, who was sleeping quietly. "Get well soon", this sigh was all he could ask of her at the moment.

In Naming Village, more than 500 miles away from where Xia Shuanghan is now staying, Lu Shaoyun, who fainted due to excessive blood loss during the encirclement and suppression operation, has now woken up.

On the third floor of Ye Hong's house in Naming Village, in the bedroom of the two of them arranged by Xia Shuanghan himself, Lu Shaoyun, who had already drunk the decoction and had his wounds bandaged, was listening intently to the message brought back by a certain soldier, and Lin Xuran, who was out looking for Xia Shuanghan, assigned him to come back and convey it.

It turned out that after Lu Shaoyun fainted in the cave of the intended target, the accompanying military doctor of the Tongcheng soldiers treated him in time. When the military doctor was quickly treating Lu Shaoyun's multiple wounds on his body, Lin Xuran, who arrived in the cave first, and Han Ling, who arrived later, also organized and arranged the final part of the encirclement and suppression operation in an orderly manner.

The criminals in the mountains and the sentries in the village, without exception, were all arrested. The forbidden medicine warehouse in the mountain and several caves that produced medicine stones were also completely blown up without affecting people.

After destroying all the items related to the production of red and white pills, the soldiers who blocked the six entrances and exits of the mountain, escorted the criminals, helped the wounded into Naming Village, and borrowed the village office, assembly square and public stove house in Naming Village.

Subsequently, in the process of handling follow-up matters, Lin Xuran, who needed to find a place for Lu Shaoyun to recuperate, roughly told Ye Hong's family about the situation of the "latent trio" in a few words, and carried the unconscious Lu Shaoyun into his and Xia Shuanghan's bedroom.

It wasn't until Lu Shaoyun was settled that Lin Xuran finally learned that Xia Shuanghan had fallen into a deep ditch and was likely to be dead. Knowing how deep his relationship with Xia Shuanghan was, after learning of this unfortunate news, he immediately entrusted the follow-up of the encirclement and suppression operation to Han Ling. Subsequently, Lin Xiran took more than a dozen soldiers who volunteered to help because they witnessed Xia Shuanghan's righteousness, and went out of the village to find her.

According to the records of the map in his mind, the inference of the villagers of Naming Village, and the confirmation of the criminals in the mountains, Lin Xuran, who knew that the dark river where the summer frost fell into the water went straight to the outside of the mountain, and the water flowed all the way to the three-way intersection leading to Tongchengguan and Jiuping Iron Mine, and led the team to find it all the way down the river. Later, he found the wet clothes that Xia Shuanghan had taken off on the bank of the river, and the corpse of the male wolf who had been hit by an arrow in the stone pile.

"You're saying that Frost is still alive, she's not dead, is she?" In the silent room, after listening to the news provided by the soldier sent back by Lin Xuran, Lu Shaoyun only felt that the heart-rending pain in his chest had disappeared. In its place, there was an incredible ecstasy, and a warm current of hope that welled up throughout the body.

"Yes, according to what Lin Zhukuai said, Miss Xia drifted down the river and was rescued later. Judging from the fact that the wolf was not taken away by the archer, it should not be a herdsman or hunter from an ordinary family who lives on the grassland and comes to help. Therefore, Lin Zhukuai had already gone to the small town of Guannei to look for Miss Xia according to the other traces left at the scene. ”

"Really? Great, that's great! Lu Shaoyun, who was sitting on the futon, was about to lift the quilt with a smile on his face, but Baliya, who had been taking care of him for a long time while in a coma, reached out and pressed his shoulder.

"Shixuan...... No, Brother Tingxuan, you can't go out now. "Ba Liya, who has already learned Lu Shaoyun's true identity from Lin Xuran's mouth, although she can't accept it for a while, but she has a clear mind, and her concern for Lu Shaoyun, who is like her brother, is not fake." Brother Tingxuan, now that it's dark and you're so seriously injured, do you know what kind of accident will happen if you blindly go out to Tongcheng Pass now? ”

"Sister Shuanghan's matter, I'm also worried, I'm also anxious, but it's ...... No, didn't you already bring a dozen people with you to look for it? Sister Jiren has her own natural appearance, since she has the strength to climb the river bank on her own after drifting so far, and now she has been rescued, then next, she is even more unlikely to have an accident, right? So Brother Tingxuan, I don't object to you going to find Sister Shuanghan, but you have to wait until tomorrow after dawn before you set off! ”

"Bariya is right." On Lu Shaoyun's side, Hazru, who had also understood the general situation of the matter, took out the majesty of an elder and spoke: "Tingxuan, if you want to go to find frost and cold, you must eat and drink medicine now, and wait for a good rest for a night, recuperate and set off tomorrow morning is the right choice!" As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, so that the horses can also rest for a night, so that you can take you to Tongcheng Pass faster, isn't it? ”

"What you said is that Uncle Hazrub is saying that I will drink the medicine now and eat now." Lu Shaoyun, who learned that Xia Shuanghan had not left him forever, only felt that his body was full of strength. He happily took the medicine bowl and drank the decoction in one go, and swore in his heart: "Frost and cold, you wait for me, in this life, I will never be separated from you again!" ”

The dawn of dawn and the chirping of birds woke up the summer frost and cold, which had been asleep for a day and a night. When he opened his eyes, which could still only see clouds of vague color patches, Xia Shuanghan recognized that the place he was in should be the house of a well-off Han family. Then, anxious to find out how far she was from Naming Village, she called out weakly and hoarsely, "Is there anyone?" Anyone, please? ”

"Girl, girl, you're awake!" The one who rushed into the house with a hot water basin was the little girl Su Yixing found to take care of Xia Shuanghan last night, the daughter of the Zhao couple who was in charge of the stove room, Huniu. "Girl, how are you feeling, but what else is wrong besides your eyes?"

"No, I'm fine, nothing." Hearing the footsteps of the girl putting down the basin and then twisting the veil back to her, Xia Shuanghan hurriedly stretched out her hand, grabbed the tiger girl's forearm and asked, "Where am I now?" Who's in the house here? ”

"Back girl, this is the county guard office in Tongcheng Pass." The tiger girl who let Xia Shuanghan pull her arm said quickly: "Girl, you fainted outside the city yesterday, and it was the adult who temporarily took the post of county guard to rescue you. Not only did you get the doctor to treat you in time yesterday, but you also took care of you in front of your hospital bed for a long time—"

"Wait a minute," Xia Shuanghan, who heard this, felt that the adults in Hu Niu's mouth treated her inappropriately, frowned and confirmed: "You just said that your family has personally taken care of me in front of the hospital bed for a long time?" ”

"Yes, girl." From Su Yixing's attitude towards Xia Shuanghan yesterday, it was glimpsed that they should be old acquaintances of the tiger girl and hurriedly said: "The adult's name is Su Yixing, his home is in the capital, do you have any impression, girl?" ”

"Su Shizi?" Xia Shuanghan raised his eyebrows in confusion, why did he come to Tongcheng Pass? Hey, that's not the point. "This girl," Xia Shuanghan, who left the flash of curiosity behind, grabbed Hu Niu's arm and said, "Where is your family now?" If you have time, can you take me to meet him? ”

"Don't worry, girl, my lord is working in the front yard now, I'll go and invite him." Keeping in mind Su Yixing's instruction of "Once Miss Xia wakes up, you will immediately come to the front yard to inform me", the tiger girl stuffed the hot cloth towel in her hand into Xia Shuanghan's hand and said, "Girl, you wipe your face first, I'll go and invite the adult, okay?" ”

"Okay." Xia Shuanghan, who took the cloth towel stuffed by the tiger girl, listened to the footsteps of her turning around and leaving the house, and then raised her hand to wipe her face with the hot cloth towel.

Su Yixing came far faster than Xia Shuanghan imagined. Originally, according to Xia Shuanghan's speculation, since Su Yixing, who was a waiter in the Criminal Department, was in the office, he probably didn't have time to come to see her now. But just like in the Yuelai Inn outside the capital, Xia Shuanghan, who couldn't guess what Su Yixing was thinking at that time, also can't see through this man who doesn't have much intersection with her now.

"Miss Xia, you're awake!" Su Yixing, who received Hu Niu's notice, put down the official documents that had not yet been processed, and then quickly got up and rushed to the outside of the house where Xia Shuanghan was. Stepping into the threshold, bypassing the screen, and finally seeing Su Yixing, who was still weak and haggard, but finally had the spirit after waking up, he said with joy: "Great, you're finally fine!" ”

"Miss Xia?" Hearing this title, Xia Shuanghan couldn't help but feel a sudden in his heart - Su Yixing did he take the wrong medicine? When did he address me in such a polite and courteous way when we met in the capital a few times? It doesn't matter, though. Xia Shuanghan, who also threw this kind of trivial matter that was not worth caring about to her, looked directly at the blurred figure in front of her and said, "Minnu, I thank Su Shizi for saving her life." ”

"You're welcome." was blocked by Xia Shuanghan's solemn thanks, and Su Yixing, who was a little unpleasant, brought her gratitude to herself in a few words. Then, raising his hand and slowly waving a few times in front of Xia Shuanghan's eyes, he asked, "Miss Xia, can you see clearly, what is this?" ”

"Yes, it's three!" Xia Shuanghan, who struggled to carefully identify for a moment, and finally determined the answer, was mentally prepared and said, "Su Shizi, do you know what is going on with my eyes? And, in the future, will it be able to return to normal? ”

"Your eyes are fine." Su Yixing, who recounted the results of Dr. Qin's diagnosis and treatment yesterday, put up with the summer frost and cold for the time being, and did not mention the symptoms that may be difficult for the heirs in the future.

Although Su Yixing, who has never thought about getting married and not wanting children over the years, can't feel the pain of not being able to have his own children, he believes that it is not a good idea to inform Xia Shuanghan of this cruel news now.

"I see!" After learning that his eyes could be cured and that there would be no sequelae in the future, Xia Shuanghan exhaled relaxedly, and then couldn't help but smile. It's just that before Su Yixing remembered her smile in his heart, Xia Shuanghan quickly turned the topic to the things he was most concerned about, "Su Shizi, the folk girl has a request, and I hope you can agree." (To be continued.) )
