Chapter 7 Peer Turmoil
The two people traveled out of the house, but they met an assassin in Huaidong, and the ninth prince was injured in the fight, so he had to go back to the house, who knew that along the way, there were always people following and spying in the open and secret, and the two of them disguised themselves and abandoned their horses on foot.
Just calculate the time, it is close to the old lady's 60th birthday, in the barren mountains and wilderness, the ninth prince wants to go back early, and the distant mountains find a carriage to sit on, never thought that he would rob the little lady of the Cui family.
Yuanshan led the horse to the main road, the sun was getting late, and I saw Han Mama and Xie Jiang standing in the shade of the tree from a distance, and said in a low voice: "Ninth Prince, are we still going back to Xindu with them all the way?" The servant always felt that this little lady was a little... Some..."
After thinking about it for a long time, Yuan Shan really couldn't think of what words to use to describe Xie Jiang, who looked beautiful and beautiful, and he could see that he was also from everyone, but when he saw those dark and agile eyes... And his heart was furious.
After talking for a long time, Yuanshan didn't say a reason, and Jiu Gongzi answered indifferently: "She is not unfavorable to me. All the way with them, there are many cover-ups" paused for a moment, and said, "If the expectation is not bad, the closer you get to Xindu... Wuyang, the more people are looking for me, the intention of these people is to prevent me from going back to my old mansion."
The meaning is very clear, the base camp of the Langyu Wang family is in Xindu, the old house is in Wuyang, the distance between the two places is less than 200 miles, and some people intercept the two roads of Xindu and Wuyang, and they don't want the two people to return to the house to celebrate their birthdays.
The distant mountains wilted.
Several people got into the carriage again. It was getting late, and Abu drove the carriage along the road, and after twenty or thirty miles, he saw two or three vegetable fields planted on the side of the road, and some people were cultivating fields... There must be a farmer nearby, and a few people went down the road and walked and stopped, until dusk, and found six or seven stone houses in the forest.
Mama Han took a few dozen baht, and the woman of the central peasant family came out of two rooms, and that night, Abu was with the nine sons of Yuanshan, and Mama Han led the three of Yujing Hantang to live in one room with Xie Jiang.
As soon as dawn broke the next day, Mama Han asked Hantang Beidou to borrow the farmer's pot stove to cook porridge and boil water, and waited until the water bladder was filled and the porridge was glutinous, so that Yujing could serve Xie Jiang and get up. Abu checked the bottom of the car early, the axles... As soon as there was nothing to do, the group had eaten and boarded the car on the road.
Sixty or seventy miles away from Xindu, the villages and towns on both sides of the road are gradually becoming denser, and those who carry burdens on the road, push carts, and ride horses to drive carts... It's hilarious. Yuanshan sat on the wheel, wearing a bamboo hat with a half-pulled face with a broken top edge, and urged Abu to hurry up from time to time.
The three girls had nothing to do, so they took out a needlework dustpan to sort out the patterns, Xie Jiang leaned on Mama Han's shoulder and squinted as if she was asleep, Jiu Gongzi coughed and said, "The swelling of the wound has subsided, it's just itching... What's going on? "
Naturally, it was Xie Jiang who asked this.
Last night, Mama Han chattered about the rules of everyone in the middle of the night, a few people slept a little late, and just cultivated a little sleepiness, as soon as this person opened his mouth, he soaked in soup again, Xie Jiang raised his eyebrows, and explained in a soft voice: "If the pus and blood are cleared, the swelling will naturally disappear." Is it itchy... It's itchy when the skin and flesh heal."
The injury was like a few small insects crawling, itching uncomfortably, Jiu Gongzi was obviously not satisfied with this answer, and frowned and asked, "Is it normal to itch?" After asking this, without waiting for Xie Jiang to answer, he said coldly, "Change the dressing, I think it's time to change the dressing, didn't you say that you still have to remove the stitches, see if you can remove it"
This person turned his face faster than turning a book, and asked people to help him with a domineering look, Xie Jiang deflated his mouth, stretched his small hand, and said softly: "Move the needle and move the knife... To be paid"
As if he had expected her to ask for money, Jiu Gongzi touched two ingots of gold from his sleeve and threw them on the table, glanced at a few people in the car, simply turned over the two sleeves and shook them, and snorted coldly: "It's all for you, hurry up"
Xie Jiang didn't bother to pay attention to him, and ordered Beidou: "Prepare a strong wine muslin"
Beidou "Bang Li" put things on the desk, Han Mama and Yujing Hantang stared at each other, how Xie Jiang coaxed Jiu Gongzi to take out two ingots of gold willingly yesterday, and afterwards he seemed to be extremely satisfied, and the three of them were very curious. However, Xie Jiang is the master, and asked Beidou, and Beidou said that it was the same as a big doctor wrapped up in an injury... Now take the opportunity to see it with your own eyes, and all three of them want to take a closer look.
Jiu Gongzi knocked on the wall of the car and said in a deep voice: "Find a remote place to park"
The distant mountains responded, and the carriage jolted a few times, as if it had descended the road, and it seemed that there were branches hanging on the roof of the car to make a "creaking" sound...
In less than a moment, the car stopped, and the ninth prince glanced at Mama Han, and the meaning was very clear... got out of the car, Mama Han had no choice but to give a salute and lead the two girls out of the car sullenly.
Only Beidou was left in the car, and the ninth prince took off his outer robe, but fortunately it was still the middle coat that was cut yesterday, and Beidou took the scissors to remove the cloth belt, revealing the crooked needle corners.
Xie Jiang took a muslin dipped in wine to scrub the wound clean, sprinkled the medicinal powder again, motioned for Beidou to wrap it, and said softly: "It's okay, go back and fry some decoction to stop fever and generate blood to drink, remove the thread after seven days, and the injury will be healed."
The injury is not itchy, Jiu Gongzi felt much more comfortable, put on his robe, and asked casually: "Why do you need to dismantle it after seven days, can't it be done now?" "
"Now the skin and flesh don't grow together" Seeing that this person had a face of mud, and as soon as he spoke in a lofty tone, Xie Jiang was angry, and explained for the sake of a few gold ingots, "In autumn, it is neither hot nor cold, the wound heals faster, and after about seven or eight days, the cracked skin and muscles will grow together, and the thread will be useless" paused, and said, "Removing the stitches is like removing clothes, but the hands and scissors should be washed with spirits"
When they arrive in Xindu tomorrow, the two groups of people will go their separate ways, and since they have treated this person's injuries, they will be responsible to the end.
Jiu Gongzi didn't ask again, put on his robe, lifted the curtain and let the three of Han Mama get into the carriage.
This time, there was no stop on the way, Abu took turns with the distant mountains to catch the car, and drove straight until the sun was gradually falling, and when the tired birds returned to their nests, they found a farmhouse to stay.
Because they have to go tomorrow, a few people are ready to rest after eating, Yujing hugged the futon on the car and laid it out, Han Mama served Xie Jiang to take off the bun, opened her hair and looked at it, and said, "... The wound is scabbed, even if it is good, I am afraid it will leave a scar, but fortunately, the second lady's hair is thick and can cover it."
Leaving no scars, Xie Jiang didn't take it to heart, and asked softly: "Mama, after Xindu, how many days will it take to go to Wuyang?" My waist is about to break."
Mama Han laughed, untied Xie Jiang's robe, and pushed her to the bed: "How can a child have any waist, tomorrow morning after the new capital, and then walk for two or three days to Wuyang City" pulled the quilt and covered Xie Jiang, and said softly, "Second lady, go to sleep, the second lady has already sent a letter to Mrs. Auntie, she will come to pick you up"
Along the way, no matter where to stay, Mama Han and Yujing Hantang four, all live in a room with Xie Jiang, fortunately, no matter the wooden house and stone house, the inside is three or four stone steps higher than the ground, the more particular people sleep on the low couch, the farmer's family sleeps on the floor, the car is pulled with a covered mat, Han Mama four in front of Xie Jiang's couch on the floor, it is also convenient to fall asleep.
Beidou Hantang laid out the mat, just shook off the futon, the door panel "knocked" a few times, so late, why did anyone come? Mama Han patted Xie Jiang and said softly: "Don't panic, if you want to come to something, the old slave will take a look."
As she spoke, Mama Han raised her hand to pull the latch of the door, and the peasant woman said in a panic: "It's outside the door... A few big men came and said they wanted to see the outsiders who lived here."
Mama Han's heart sank, and she looked back at Xie Jiang, there was no movement next door, presumably these people broke in and pointed out that they wanted to see the outsiders who were staying overnight, Jiugongzi was in tatters, and lived with Abu in the distant mountains, and the farmer thought she was the master.
No matter who this puller is aimed at, it matters if you send it first. Xie Jiang and Mama Han exchanged their eyes, put on their outer robes and said, "Mama, accompany me to have a look."
Mama Han sighed secretly, the Langyu Wang family's courtyard is big, but the tree is big and has dead branches, and there are only a lot of dirty things competing for favor and profit inside, the old lady of the Wang family said a few years ago... People's hearts and desires are selfish, and there are always a few unsuccessful muddies.
This son of the Wang family is called the ninth son, and he wants to come to the Wang family to rank nine, and he has to be a son-in-law, but his face is covered with mud and dust, I don't know if it is the big house and Xiaojiu that Wang Sima values the most.
The current clan of the world, Mama Han knows everything about it, and she has heard some of the secrets inside, and she immediately helped Xie Jiang and said: "Second lady, slow down"
The two men followed the peasant woman, bypassing a pile of firewood and grass to the courtyard.
