Chapter 16: Pregnant
Moved the dead branches she picked up limp over, she didn't have the strength to hold a large stack, they were all carried little by little. A few more fires were piled around the carriage before they finally stopped. It was already dark, Ah Xiang looked at the sky, thought about it and said to Tang Jian, "Let's go to the carriage tonight."
Tang Jian was naturally unwilling, if he hadn't thought about it before, he might not have gone up, but now that he knew Ah Xiang's daughter's body, how could he not avoid suspicion? (Only now do you know how to avoid suspicion?) →_→)
"Why?" Ah Xiang was puzzled, "Do you dislike that the carriage is too crowded?" It's going to be just one night, it's too unsafe to be outside. ”
Tang Jian couldn't say it, and he couldn't stick to it. Ah Xiang couldn't leave him outside, so she kept persuading him to go up.
"You're a woman!"
"Eh" turned out to be because of this, "It's okay, I'm not going to do anything to you." ”
Tang Jianhan, "It's not because of this. ”
"I know, I know, you think I'm a woman, avoid suspicion, right? But life is precious, first save your life and then say those etiquette is good? Tang Jian got into the car at Ah Xiang's insistence. However, he really squeezed it, and he bent his knees so that he could not touch the other party, which made Tang Jian quite embarrassed. Because it was dark in the carriage, Ah Xiang didn't see that his face was already red.
It was late at night, and there were occasional roars in the distance.
Ah Xiang stayed awake all night because he was afraid that a wolf would come, and Tang Jian didn't sleep all night because Ah Xiang was sitting next to him, but both of them didn't say a word, and both of them looked at each other silently with dark circles under their eyes at dawn.
I don't know if there were really no wolves nearby or if those fires played a role, but the night was safe anyway.
Driving the carriage, we started again.
Looking at the city gate in front of him with "Wencheng" written on it, Ah Xiang flipped through the map again, and sure enough, he was not wrong. Of course, Tang Jian in the carriage didn't miss this scene, and Ah Xiang really wasn't just wandering around as she said.
Hurriedly went into the city to find a doctor.
Ah Xiang asked the doctor to look at Tang Jian first, after all, he was the strictest. The doctor was shocked when he saw both of them at first, both of them were seriously injured! Not to mention the doctors, even the guards guarding the city gate almost didn't let them enter the city. Ah Xiang had to open her clothes, revealing her calves, saying that she was bitten by a wolf, and she had to find a doctor quickly. The guards saw that the wounds were indeed bitten before letting them into the city. Tang Jian saw it in the car, and he felt quite uncomfortable.
The doctor hurriedly helped Tang Jian to the bed, looked at the wound carefully, and decided to dig out the pus first. And this is also extremely painful, like digging out the flesh on your body, which Ah Xiang deeply understands.
Ah Xiang was led aside by the medicine boy to rub the plaster, after all, this is a new injury, and it has not yet suppurated. The flesh was turned out, and Rao is medicine boy often saw all kinds of wounds and was also frightened by this wound.
"Bitten by a wolf" Ah Xiang was already in a cold sweat, her face was pale, this ointment was really exciting, but she still smiled at the medicine boy, but her palms were pinched by her own nails and oozing blood. She felt that the biggest change she had since she came here was that she could endure it, really, if she had fainted before.
After an hour, the doctor was finally busy, and Tang Jian didn't shout during the whole process. At the end of the view, the nerves that had been tense were finally relaxed, and he fell asleep.
The doctor asked the medicine boy to stand up and take Ah Xiang's pulse himself. After a long time, the doctor withdrew his hand and looked Ah Xiang up and down, which made her quite embarrassed.
"Girl, do you know that you are more than two months pregnant?"
Ah Xiang was still a little surprised when she heard the news, she thought that this body was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the chance of pregnancy was not great, so she didn't have a period for several months, but she never came.
Seeing Ah Xiang frowning, the doctor said again: "Girl, you should have suffered internal injuries, and now you have suffered these injuries, you are already weak, and this child is afraid that he will not survive."
It's true that she can't live, even if Ah Xiang is in good health, she doesn't plan to have this child. It's not that she's cruel, it's just that the child was born without a father, and now she herself is in danger, how can she support him?
"I see. Doctor, can you prescribe an abortion pill for me? ”
When the doctor heard this, he hurriedly said, "Girl, don't do it! You are weak now, and if you take the child out at this time, I am afraid that your life will be endangered! ”
"Well, I didn't plan to drink it right now, I just prepared it first." Ah Xiang really doesn't plan to take the child out now. Even if a person in good health takes out the child, he will be weak for a month, not to mention her current situation! And she had to travel a lot. Touching the stomach, reluctant is for sure, but following himself is also suffering, and now it has to suffer with itself for a while, inexplicably the nose is a little sore, but because it is in the hospital, I have to endure it.
The doctor didn't say anything when he saw this.
"By the way, doctor, can I ask you not to tell anyone else about this?" The doctor knew who else she was talking about, and nodded in agreement.
After living in the hospital for more than half a month, Ah Xiang and Tang Jian's injuries finally improved a lot, and even the small scars on Ah Xiang's body disappeared, as for why there were only small ones, the reason was, of course, that there were not enough medicinal materials. Of course, the biggest credit here is still due to Tang Jian. He is good at making drugs, and he is also good at saving lives and helping the wounded, but he is not as powerful as his poison skills. After the doctor found out, he often came to discuss with Tang Jian, and praised directly, "I didn't expect to be able to use medical techniques at a young age", Tang Jian of course knew his ability, and only said, "Where, where." Ah Xiang didn't expect Tang Jian to understand medical skills. I wanted him to help me take the pulse and see what his body was like now, but I just gave up thinking about the rest.
In the courtyard, Ah Xiang and Tang Jian sat at the table.
"Ah Xiang, what are your plans?"
Ah Xiang pretended not to care about touching it or flattening her stomach, and the more she kept it, the more she didn't want to take it off.
"I'm leaving in a few days."
"Where are you going?" When Tang Jian heard this, he instantly became nervous, he didn't want Ah Xiang to leave him.
"When I went to the capital, I originally planned to go to the capital." During this time, I have been getting along with Tang Jian, and my original guard has long been let go.
"Beijing? Why? ”
"I was originally a maid in the capital, and an accident separated me from our young lady, so I have to go back."
Hearing Ah Xiang say that she was a maid, Tang Jian didn't believe it, but looking at her didn't look like a lie.
"You can follow me, you don't have to be a maid anymore." Tang Jian said such a sentence without thinking about it.
Ah Xiang looked at Tang Jian, shook his head and did not agree. Indeed, it may be a better choice to follow Tang Jian, but there are too many possibilities ahead. Following Shen Ruomeng, she can predict the general plot, although she knows very little. She is not a person who likes challenges, this time she went back to the capital alone, although a Tang Jian was inserted halfway, but it was already the biggest challenge she had ever done. If she had been given the choice, she would definitely not have made such a decision again.
"Why?" Tang Jian didn't understand, why did he have to go back, wouldn't it be better to follow him?
"I just want to go back." The specific reason is not easy for her to explain to Tang Jian.
"Then I'll go to the capital with you, it just so happens that I still have something to do in the capital." Tang Jian had already planned to go to the capital to find the third prince.
Ah Xiang thinks about it, and many people take care of her, and she is lucky enough to go on the road alone.
Since her health has improved, Ah Xiang has been doing what she can in the hospital. Dr. Li is a kind-hearted person, and he only said that he learned something from Tang Jian, so he didn't ask for those medical expenses. Ah Xiang was embarrassed, and helped when she saw some trivial matters in the hospital. Doctor Li said no, but Ah Xiang said that it was not a heavy job, and Dr. Li didn't know what to say and went with her.
On this day, a few people came to the hospital, dressed in dark red shorts, with stubble on their faces. Dr. Li saw that he was busy greeting. "A few officials, may I ask why you are coming to my medical center?"
"Did you have a patient in your medical hall before, about eight feet tall, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes?"
Ah Xiang stood beside him, wondering if he was talking about Tang Jian, and hurriedly entered the inner room.
"Tang Jian, there are a few people from the medical hall, I don't know if they are looking for you."
Tang Jian was drinking tea in the courtyard when he heard Ah Xiang hurrying over and turned his head to look. Frowning, could it be that someone inside the door found it?
"I'll go out and have a look."
When those people saw Tang Jian, they hurriedly shouted: "Young ......" was stopped by Tang Jian with his eyes before he finished shouting, wondering what was going on?
Tang Jian took them to the backyard, and Ah Xiang saw that he probably knew someone and didn't follow him.
"Tell me what came to me?"
One of the subordinates stepped forward and said, "Young Sect Master, you have disappeared for more than half a month, and you don't know that something big has happened in the door."
Tang Jian's heart tightened, "What happened?" ”
"Before, the young master went to Yuzhou to investigate the traitor and then disappeared, and the branch master in the assignment found out that the deputy master of Zhao was actually a traitor. But Deputy Door Master Zhao refused to admit it, and finally ran to the door owner to prove his innocence with death. ”
"And then?"
Sure enough, after careful investigation, Deputy Master Zhao was indeed wronged. The master of the door was furious and personally went to the assignment to investigate the matter thoroughly. ”
Tang Jian frowned, Uncle Zhao is an old man of the Tang Sect, he is down-to-earth and loyal, and the scale of the Yuzhou distribution is only the main faction. Although Uncle Zhao is the deputy master, he actually does the business of the master. This time Zhao Bo was wronged, and it was obvious that he was next to some people. If something happens to him, then the biggest beneficiary is the master of the sect, Fu Wei. Did he do it?
"Has my father found out who did it?"
"The owner of the door originally guessed that it was the master of the Fu family, but later it was confirmed that this matter had nothing to do with the master of the Fu family."
"Who's that?"
"It's a guard inside the door, he framed the deputy master of Zhao, secretly put the evidence in the main room of the deputy door of Zhao, and then reported it to the master of the Fu family."
"Can you find out who planted the spies?"
"It's the people of the Three Princes."
Tang Jian didn't speak, it turned out to be the third prince! Thinking that he had already formed an alliance with the three princes, did he still not trust them? It can't be related to the Taishi, right?
"I'll leave for the capital tomorrow to find out why the three princes are like this."
The man who spoke before hesitated for a moment, his face full of sadness.
"What's wrong? If you have something to say, just say it!" Tang Jian noticed that everyone's faces were a little wrong, and said sharply.
The leader hesitated for a moment and said, "It's the door master." That thief has strong martial arts, and I don't know what method he used to paralyze the door master, and now his life is in danger. ”
"Can't anyone in the door be cured?" Although the Tang Sect is famous for its poisons, there is no shortage of people with medical skills in the door!
"So let's say that the thief is good, and the people in the door are helpless about the situation of the door owner."
Tang Jian was shocked, he knew his father's martial arts, how could he be plotted lightly? And if you think about it, why did the thief report to Fu Wei, and Fu Wei convicted Zhao Bo lightly without a strict investigation, it is estimated that there is another hidden story here.
But Tang Jian began to make trouble again, he had promised to go to the capital with Ah Xiang, and now he had to go back to the door to deal with these things, but should Ah Xiang go to the capital alone? He definitely didn't allow it, but she didn't want to go back to Tangmen with her, what could she do?
In the evening, Tang Jian came to find Ah Xiang. Seeing Ah Xiang just sitting on the chair in a daze, her hand still unconsciously stroking her stomach back and forth, it was a little strange.
"Ah Xiang, what are you doing?"
Ah Xiang couldn't help but be startled when she heard someone calling her, and saw that it was Tang Jian who relaxed.
"Tang Jian is you, what are you doing here?"
Tang Jian didn't pay much attention to Ah Xiang's abnormal behavior just now, sat next to Ah Xiang and said regretfully: "Ah Xiang, I can't go to the capital with you this time."
Ah Xiang had already guessed that the people who came today were obviously looking for Tang Jian to go back.
"It's okay, I can do it myself."
"How's that going to work? Why don't you send two people to escort you back to the capital? ”
Ah Xiang thought about it, this is the best, people who are Tang Jian should be worthy of trust.
Seeing her agree, Tang Jian was relieved.
