Chapter 35: To save or not to save
The summer winds brought a scorching heat.
A low cough of suppressed pain broke the silence in the courtyard, and all of Gan's anger and incomprehension dissipated with the hot wind.
"The child is out of shape." He took three steps back and respectfully apologized, "Don't blame Mother. ”
"Later, the child will come back to say goodbye to his mother."
Gann took a few steps back, then turned around and wanted to go to the yard.
"I love that kid."
"When Mrs. Bai Rou was here, she once said that our Jiang family and the Hua family can become in-laws."
"Although it's just words, your marriage contract with Jincheng's child is in the front."
"Mother thought that if you can give her four words, you have a good impression of her, so she will make this decision, hoping that the child will fall in love with you."
"I didn't mean to hurt her."
"Not now, and not in the future."
"Since you don't want to, then your mother is wrong, and after a while, I will go to her to make amends and ask for her forgiveness."
Mrs. Jiang's voice was low, without any anger and grievances after being wronged, some were just plain, like water in a water tank, no matter how messy it was, it would eventually return to calm.
Gan Eunzhong didn't speak, he looked sideways at the long shadow that was pulled out of nowhere, and strode away.
The smile on Mrs. Jiang's face disappeared suddenly, and she closed the door with her backhand, her pale cheeks hidden in the dark, I don't know if it was because of the disappearance of the sun or something, her eyes flashed a dullness.
……
The candle flame flickered, and outside the Jiang Mansion, the excitement had not completely dissipated, and there was always silence inside the Jiang Mansion.
Li'er stood by the bed, her eyes red.
Moy sat on a stool, thinking about the man in black they had met twice, and guessing who was behind it.
Gan Enzhong lingered outside the door for a long time before slowly walking in.
"Jin Cheng."
He looked at Hua Jincheng who was leaning on the bedpost and drinking medicine with a complicated face.
"Brother Jiang, sit." Hua Jincheng nodded at him, twisted his eyebrows and poured all the medicine in the bowl into his mouth, "We're leaving tomorrow." ”
"In such a hurry?" Gan En subconsciously spoke, and then he realized that there was something wrong with his words, "I mean, you are not in good health yet, it is better to stay here for a few more days." ”
"I'm used to it." Hua Jincheng smiled, "It's just an accident, Brother Jiang doesn't have to mind, I've been out for a long time, my father may be worried, so it's better to go back early." ”
"Okay, if you have time to come to Jiangzhou in the future, you must come to Fuzhong." Jiang Enzhong no longer stayed, "I'll send you tomorrow." ”
"Okay."
As soon as the sun rose in the early morning, the door to Hua Jincheng's room opened.
Gann raised his eyes again to look at the person who came out of the room, and there was a touch of softness between his cold eyebrows, "Sleep well?" ”
Hua Jincheng was slightly stunned, she was a little stunned, a little puzzled, and didn't understand why Jiang Enzhong came out so early and waited.
"Yes." Hua Jincheng nodded, she opened her mouth, then closed it, spoke again, and said a completely different sentence, "Say goodbye to Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang for Jincheng." ”
"My mother is unwell, my father is busy with official business, they didn't come to see you off, don't be angry."
The two spoke almost at the same time, and then nodded at the same time, looking a little familiar, but very rusty.
Hua Jincheng was not uncomfortable, but Jiang Enzhong felt that every pore of his body revealed a touch of weirdness.
Sending flowers to Jincheng and getting into the carriage, Jiang Enzhong suddenly felt a little envious of Moyi who could accompany her, "Be careful on the road." ”
"Farewell."
Moy clenched his hands into fists, shook the reins, and the carriage rolled forward.
A low cough came from the carriage, Jiang Enzhong's heart twitched, he subconsciously walked a few steps quickly, and then stopped, only the rear of the carriage was reflected in his eyes, and all that fell in his ears was the sound of wheels running over the ground.
Gan stood at the door for a long time before leaving, and the moment he turned around, he seemed to feel that a wind was blowing behind him, and that wind was mixed with a touch of incense, a touch of incense that could be smelled everywhere, but he felt very strange.
Before Jiang Enzhong entered the door, he heard a low roar of suppressed pain, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly pushed the door in, looking at the mess all over the ground and kneeling beside the handmaid who was shivering, his whole body was cold.
"Mother."
He bypassed the screen and walked briskly to the inner room.
"Get out of here!"
Mrs. Jiang's eyes, who were only wearing a white middle coat, were red, and shocking blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, falling to the ground to form irregular dots.
"Mother, offended!"
Jiang Enzhong's face changed, his hand was like electricity, and he quickly clicked on several of Mrs. Jiang's big holes, "Please come over." ”
He shouted aloud, and the maidservant outside answered yes as if she had been pardoned, and left the room in a hurry.
The official road scorched by the scorching sun was empty, and from a distance, it seemed that the road ahead was distorted by the heat.
Moy suddenly grabbed the reins, and his brow furrowed as he looked at the man rolling out of the grass next to him.
"Brother Mo."
Hua Jincheng lifted the curtain and walked out, "What's wrong?" ”
"There's someone."
Moy pointed to the man in front of him, covered in blood, and looked like he couldn't survive.
Hua Jincheng looked up, his willow eyebrows were furrowed, and his peach blossom eyes were also uncertain.
"Miss, let's not worry about it, that person knows at a glance that he is not a good person, otherwise, how could he be injured like that?" Although Li'er also can't bear it, but for the safety of the young lady, don't talk about a person, even if it's a person from a city, what does it have to do with her?
"Since you have seen it, there is no reason to pretend that you can't see it, which is detrimental to yin morality."
Hua Jincheng shook his head, "Brother Mo, get him to the carriage, and then find a place to rest for a while." ”
"Okay."
Moy carried the man into the carriage, and he uncomfortably sealed the man's acupoint to feel a little calmer.
"Knife wounds, sword wounds and injuries caused by hidden weapons, excessive blood loss, but this is not the main thing, the most fatal part is that his wounds are poisonous."
Moy was quick to tell the man's injuries.
Li'er turned her head sideways and closed her eyes, not daring to look at it.
Hua Jincheng's face didn't change at all, she looked at the person who passed out in a daze, as if she was hesitating about something.
"Jincheng, you...... Aren't you afraid? Mo Yi asked suspiciously, when he first saw the knife wound, although he was a few years younger than Hua Jincheng, it was just a wound, so he didn't dare to take a second look, and the person in front of him was covered in injuries.
"Yes." Hua Jincheng replied vaguely and took out the medicine bottle from his purse.
"Miss, that's for you by Childe." Li'er hurriedly pressed Hua Jincheng's hand, "I can't give it." ”
