Chapter 170
Because he only rested for a while and wanted to continue his journey, Xia Yi casually found an inn that looked better and asked for two upper rooms.
Mu Qingge instructed Su Mu to buy a few sets of ready-to-wear clothes, and after a few people dressed up, they went to knock on Xia Yi's door.
Xia Yi didn't have the habit of taking a nap, and when she opened the door and saw the dress of Mu Qingge and the others, she was stunned.
"Cousin Yi, can you go in and talk?" Mu Qingge smiled, but it was a man's salute.
"Of course, you can." Xia Yi came back to his senses and hurriedly got out of the way, but he couldn't take his eyes off.
I didn't expect Mu Qingge to be such a beautiful girl dressed as a man, but she had a heroic spirit, not feminine at all, and she was young, so she had no flaws at all. I just don't understand why they're dressed like this?
"Cousin Yi, let's go to Wucheng, I'm afraid we will have to go for ten days, right?"
"It's hot now, I can't go fast, and I won't be able to get there in ten days." Xia Yi replied without thinking about it, and when he came, he walked alone for ten days.
"That's it. I think about a few of us, just you as a man, and sometimes I can't take care of it. Girls go out and have a lot of inconvenience. So, we just dressed up in men's clothes, it should be a lot more convenient, right? Mu Qingge said the reason why he was dressed as a man, but it was in a tone of discussion.
Xia Yi only brought a small servant to the capital, but now he sent the little servant back to report the news, and he was the only man left.
Xia Yi was still wondering if Mu Qingge doubted her ability, but when she heard her say this, she was relieved, and said with a smile: "Cousin, you are young, no one can see if you are a man." But these two girls can't do it, they miss the stuffing as soon as they speak and move. Anyone with a little experience can see that the two of them are women, and it is better to change back to women's clothes, so as not to think that we have bad intentions. ”
This is very reasonable, hiding one's true face will always give people a feeling of emptiness. Moreover, Mu Qingge was also weak-hearted, although there was little chance of meeting Shang Qirui, but what if? Thinking about the time I met on the street that day, Su Mu and Poria were not by my side. Presumably, someone like Shang Qirui would not notice these two maidservants.
"What Cousin Yi said makes a lot of sense, but I was negligent. Let's go back and change back into women's clothes. ”
The two girls were wearing men's clothes and were feeling uncomfortable, and when they heard this, they were like being pardoned. Immediately ran back to change clothes.
"Cousin Yi, I think we can hurry faster." Mu Qingge pondered and said, "My body actually doesn't look like you are weak, such a hot day. It's not good to rest in a hurry, so it's better to rush to Wucheng early and have a good rest. ”
Although it makes a little sense, Xia Yi is still not very relieved, Mu Qingge has been sick for so many years, but he knows it. If there is a good guy, how can he take this responsibility?
"Cousin Yi, my aunt and grandmother didn't actually invite me to play at home, did they?" Mu Qingge said suddenly.
Xia Yi was startled, and a little embarrassed, and said, "No." Mother and grandmother really invited their cousin and cousin to play at home. I haven't seen you in all these years, and they miss you too. ”
That's right, it's just that the only person they really want to invite in their hearts is Mu Wenhan. However, Xia Yi can't say this directly.
"Cousin Yi, in the past, I was not in good health, and sometimes I was inevitably angry with others, so my temperament was not likable." Of course, Mu Qingge also understood, and she would never say it explicitly, "I have lived in Luoyu Temple for half a year." Now I figured it out. If you are not in good health, it is not a shameful thing, there is no need to feel sorry for yourself, and there is no need to be angry with others for this. Especially people who are good to themselves. I am now studying medicine with a great master, and the master said that as long as I keep my body and mind happy, my illness will soon be cured. ”
"Yes, Doctor Ji is powerful, and our young lady is even more powerful." Su Mu and Poria just changed their clothes and came over, and Poria was fast. Then Mu Qingge said, "Last time, the old lady was sick, and the imperial doctor made a mistake, but our young lady prescribed a prescription to cure the old lady." ”
"Is there such a thing?" Xia Yi knew that Poria would definitely not lie about this kind of thing, so she was very surprised, "Cousin is amazing!" ”
"Alright, you are!" Mu Qingge looked at a few people, and said helplessly, "I'm a man now, why are you still called Miss and cousin, isn't this revealing as soon as you go out?" ”
"Yes, yes, it's me who is confused." Xia Yi smiled, and Mu Qingge expressed that she was confident in pleasing her mother and grandmother, and he naturally didn't have many scruples.
Table ...... Now that we're resting, let's go. It's good to get to Wucheng early, where the climate is good. After a pause, he said with some regret, "I originally wanted to ask my cousin if he wanted to take the waterway, and along the Phosphorus River, he could go all the way to Wucheng." It's just that the waterway is much slower than the land route, and now it seems that my cousin won't want to take the waterway, right? ”
Wucheng is surrounded by mountains and water, and the water is the phosphorus river.
"No, no. Let's take the road route, my body is not fully recovered yet, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get used to the boat. When I return to Beijing, I will go to enjoy the scenery of the Phosphorus River. ”
Mu Qingge hurriedly refused. Just kidding, Shang Qirui inspected the Phosphorus River, and he would definitely follow the Phosphorus River. Isn't it equivalent to sending it to the tiger's mouth if he still runs to the waterway?
So, the group simply cleaned up and left the inn.
As soon as their carriage left, a group of people also came out of the inn. It was the Three Princes, Shang Qirui and his gang.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" The guards were busy preparing things, and Doctor Ji was stunned when he saw Shang Qirui standing aside.
"It's like the group of people I met outside the capital in the morning." Shang Qirui stared at the direction in which Mu Qingge and their carriage left.
"Since you're going in the same direction, it's normal to bump into it." Doctor Ji said casually, but the hand holding the medicine box was clenched tightly.
"Your Highness, will those people have other plans? Do you want to go down and check? One of the guards overheard the conversation between the two and stepped forward to ask for instructions.
Your Highness's travel, safety is the most important thing. Now the situation in the capital seems to be calm, but in fact the dark tide is turbulent. Anything can happen, so be careful.
Doctor Ji also looked at Shang Qirui.
"No, none of these things matter." Shang Qirui waved his hand and asked the guard, "Have you done everything I explained?" ”
"Back to Your Highness, I have already explained. The five of us walked to Lu Lu and rushed to Wucheng as fast as possible. Lord Chen took the rest of the people by water, surveying all the way. After the guard finished speaking, he was puzzled, "But, Your Highness, why don't we also take the waterway?" You're out to patrol the Phosphorus River. Isn't it the most convenient and quick to check all the way along the waterway? Why rush to Wucheng first? The climate in Wucheng is good, and the chance of heavy water is also small......"
Shang Qirui's expression changed slightly, there are some things, he knows what to do. But there is no way to explain it to others.
"If you think about it, the weather has been abnormal this year, it hasn't rained for two months, and it's been unbearably hot recently. In this case, it is most likely that there will be a sudden rainstorm. Causing floods. When we came out this time, we didn't have many people with us, and if we had walked along the Phosphorus River, we wouldn't have been able to finish the investigation in two months. Therefore, the best thing to do is for everyone to check separately. Moreover, if you follow the Phosphorus River, those officials along the way, knowing that I came out to inspect, will not be able to walk fast along the way. The matter of dealing with the officials was left to Lord Chen to deal with. And the reason why I went to Wucheng first. This is because everyone thinks that it is not easy to flood there, so the embankment is definitely not reliable. However, Wucheng has a large population because of its good climate. If there is a real flood, the casualties and losses are immeasurable. ”
Although the real reason cannot be explained, it cannot be left unexplained. Today's Shang Qirui understands very well that no matter what he does, he must not make the people around him feel at ease.
"His Royal Highness is really thoughtful, and his subordinates admire it." The guard was very moved when he saw Shang Qirui explaining to him in such detail, and seemed to be more energetic.
Mu Qingge walked very fast. In the first two days, Xia Yi was still worried that Mu Qingge's body couldn't stand it, and after two days of driving, he found that there was nothing abnormal, so he was relieved. Concentrate on the road.
"Miss, can you stand it?" Su Mu and Poria were fanning Mu Qingge, and they didn't know how many times they asked.
"It's fine." Mu Qingge smiled and shook his head, not impatient.
"Appeal ......"
Xia Yi's voice came in, and then Mu Qingge felt that the speed of the carriage had also slowed down.
"What's wrong?"
A few people were puzzled, and Su Mu opened the curtain.
This is the official road. The road is quite wide. Not far ahead, there were more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages parked on the side of the road, and there was a group of people busy next to the carriages. It seems that some big family is tired of traveling and resting here.
No wonder Xia Yi slowed down, as soon as the horse ran fast, it would inevitably bring up dust. If you have suffered the losses of others before, you can't do that yourself. Mu Qingge couldn't help laughing, this Xia Yi is really intimate and careful, and his heart is good.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"Daddy!"
"Old lady, old lady......"
The crowd over there suddenly let out an exclamation, and a dozen or twenty people were in a mess.
At this time, Mu Qingge's carriage had just passed.
"No breathing......"
There was a louder exclamation from the crowd, followed by crying, and Mu Qingge's hand that wanted to lower the curtain froze.
"Miss, let's go. Those people don't know where they came from, just in case...... It's better not to get into trouble. Su Mu saw that Mu Qingge was embarrassed and persuaded.
"Daddy, Daddy, wake up." A man squeezes out of the crowd with an old man in his arms.
"Stop." Mu Qingge finally spoke.
Before the carriage stopped, Mu Qingge had already jumped down.
By the time Xia Yi, who was walking in front, jumped off the horse, Mu Qingge had already rushed to the opposite crowd.
"You put down that old gentleman." Mu Qingge hurriedly said to the man who hugged people.
When these people saw a child rushing over suddenly, and they didn't know him, they were sad and in no mood to talk to him, so the man paused and continued walking. A person who looked like a subordinate came over and said to Mu Qingge: "Little boy, we have an urgent matter here, so I can't play with you." ”
"I'm a doctor!" Mu Qingge shouted at the man.
"Go away, whatever you are...... Are you a doctor? The next person was stunned, at such a young age, can he cure diseases and save people?
The subordinate didn't know what to do, and looked at the man.
The man turned around happily and was disappointed to see that Mu Qingge was just a child.
Mu Qingge strode forward, checked the old man's pulse and heartbeat, and said, "If you let him go now, I may be able to save him." If you take him to the town ahead, he will surely die. ”
"Can you really save my father? What if it can't be cured? The man stared at Mu Qingge and asked.
"I just saw that this old man was dying and wanted to do my best to save him. I can't guarantee that I can't save it. If you can't believe me, you can ignore me. ”
Mu Qingge took two steps back, but the man froze.
"Master, let him try, I'm afraid my dad really won't last long." A woman ran up to the man and said to the man.
The man hesitated, then nodded.
"Okay, you can cure it, if it's ......" Under the hindrance of his wife, the second half of the sentence was not said in the end.
"Put him on the ground." Mu Qingge motioned to the man.
"Our wagon ......"
"Put it on the ground!"
The man was stunned, and suddenly felt an invisible pressure, and unconsciously put the old man down.
Mu Qingge motioned for him to put the old man on a flat place, looked at the dead crowd around him, and frowned.
"Spread them all out."
The man clenched his fists, and the woman hurriedly dispersed the crowd.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Mu Qingge half-kneeling on the ground, pressing the old man's chest with both hands. After pressing it a few times, he stopped again, pinched the old man's nose with his hand, and mouth-to-mouth for the old man.
Everyone here was just stunned, but Xia Yi and the three of them almost fainted.
"Little ......"
Before Poria's scream reached her mouth, she was quickly covered by Su Muyan. At the same time, Xia Yi also grabbed her arm and said softly: "Don't make noise, they don't know that she is a woman." ”
Poria came back to her senses, and the young lady was now a man, and they didn't know her identity. If he called it out, it would ruin the reputation of the young lady, so he hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and stared at Mu Qingge's movements.
"Alright, help me to a cooler place." Mu Qingge wiped the beads of sweat on his face, raised his head and said to the man.
"Okay, okay?" Men are stupid.
It was the woman who reacted first, rushed over and touched the old man's breathing and heartbeat, and was excited: "Really, really well, there is breathing, there is a heartbeat...... Quick, quick, help the old lady up, there is ice in the car, help to the car......"
Ice in the car? Mu Qingge twitched the corners of his mouth, and as soon as he looked at the way this group of people dressed and spoke, he knew that they were rich people. But having the money to get to this and carrying ice on the road is really luxurious.
Everyone helped the old man to the carriage, and the woman was about to thank Mu Qingge, but Mu Qingge had already turned her head to look at Xia Yi and them: "Su Mu, go and get my silver needle." ”
Su Mu agreed, and Mu Qingge followed into the carriage and couldn't help smacking his tongue.
From the outside, the carriage looks about three times larger than an ordinary carriage, but the layout is still very low-key. But in the carriage, there are beds, not to mention, even the seats are covered with cushions made of Yunjin. Even in the Mu family, not everyone can wear clothes made of Yunjin. This family actually used Yunjin as a cushion! And there are indeed a few pots of ice in the carriage, the weather is too hot, and most of the ice has melted away, but it is also ice! In this era, ice is not something you want to use in the palace! Finally got to see the real trench!
"Childe, Silver Needle." Su Mu handed over the silver needle, interrupting all kinds of speculations in Mu Qingge's heart.
The man and woman were on guard in the carriage, while the other men were outside.
Soon after Mu Qingge got the needle, the old man woke up leisurely.
"Dad, are you awake?" The two of them, who didn't dare to blink, hurriedly rushed over.
"The old man is still very weak, so get him some water to drink. If you have salt, vinegar and more, put some in it. Mu Qingge said, seeing that they have so many carriages and horses, these things must also be carried, right?
"Okay, okay." Only then did the two of them remember that there was Mu Qingge on the side.
The woman got out of the car and asked the next person to prepare things, and the man bowed to Mu Qingge: "Thank you benefactor!" Just now, the villain didn't know Taishan, and he collided with his benefactor, and hoped that the benefactor wouldn't mind. ”
"As I said, I only save people out of the benevolence of a healer, and it has nothing to do with you. I don't take what I just did to heart, and you don't have to take the little things to heart. Mu Qingge said very casually, she saved people because she respected life, not for anyone's good words or interests.
"Cousin." Xia Yi didn't worry about Mu Qingge in the end, and stood outside the carriage and shouted.
Mu Qingge didn't care about the man anymore and got out of the carriage, but saw Xia Yi staring at the man in a daze. (To be continued.) )
