Chapter 29: Healing

After Zhao Yu entered the mansion, he also learned to comb Deng Sui's hair. Deng Sui attaches great importance to grooming, but refuses to wear superfluous ornaments, and always works on his hairstyle. She herself invented the flowing cloud bun, which is to stack the hair one by one, and then hang downward, like a flowing cloud flying in the sky, and then fall on a few steps to shake, which looks more graceful and graceful, and I feel sorry for it.

Zhao Yu was always worried about not being able to comb her hair well, but she was not discouraged, and always humbly learned from Xing'er. Xing'er has served Deng Sui since she was a child, and naturally knows how to dress up for the young lady.

In the past six months, Zhao Yu was able to sort out Deng Sui very properly, which made Deng Sui a little surprised, and said that she was smart and studious!

Since the surrender of the Xiaoyue clan, the misty Tang who burned Dangqiang robbed to no avail, and had no intention of fighting again, so he retreated to the headquarters. The people of the Satsuki clan have also returned to their homeland. In this way, the city fell silent.

Hulan Chacha sent a message saying that he missed Deng Sui and asked her to go to the Xiaoyue clan to stay for a few days. Zhao Yu listened and resolutely disagreed, her reason was very simple, they were both Hu people, and the Xiaoyue people were unreliable.

Deng Sui discussed with his father and felt that most of the Hu people were good, but the border war was unbearable, so in order to make a living, he had to fight against the imperial court. If you don't go at this time, you will attract their suspicion.

Li Xia said to Deng Sui: "Miss, don't be afraid, I'll go with you, if there is danger, I will desperately keep Miss back." ”

Deng Sui smiled and said: "Brother, Hulan Chacha is loyal and will not harm my heart, but the necessary preparations still have to be made." Father! She turned her head to look at Deng Xundao.

"Well, Sui'er, you're right, you want your father to prepare some gifts for you, let's go to worship them with a smile, how can we not embarrass Sui'er." Deng Xun understood what Deng Sui meant, and the father and daughter smiled at each other.

Li Xia said: "Father-in-law, it's not that I'm worried about this, even if the people of the Xiaoyue clan are bold, they will never do anything to adults and young ladies, what I'm worried about is Mi Tang." This person has been eyeing us all along, and if the young lady goes out and they know about it, there may be a danger of being kidnapped by them. When the time comes, we will be passive. ”

Deng Sui nodded, "What my brother said has some truth, father, I think let the three hundred warriors of the Xiaoyue clan escort me, and they can also take this opportunity to reunite with their parents, which is to show me that the Han Dynasty is sympathetic to his subordinates." ”

Deng Xun nodded, "Yes, Sui'er has a point, these people have this kind of favor, and they will be even more loyal to us." Moreover, they know more about the team of Mi Tang, and they will be extremely brave in battle. ”

The matter was settled, but in terms of what gifts to bring, Deng Sui had a disagreement with his father.

Deng Xun believes that what the Hu people lack is tents, cattle and horses, and clothing. Deng Sui thought it would be better to bring seeds, medicine and books, for the simple reason that it was important to teach them to plant the land, to give them food to eat, to bring them medicine to help cure diseases, and to let them know the Confucian classics.

In the end, Li Xia reconciled, books are not something that can be learned in a short time, and tents are dispensable. So he prepared ten carriages of supplies, and Li Xia led three hundred Yue's cavalry to escort Deng Sui to Xiaoyue's. In order to teach the Xiaoyue people to plant and cure diseases, Deng Sui also brought the family's doctor and Uncle Hu, who often planted various vegetables in the family garden in his early years, and Deng Sui brought him with him.

A long procession of carriages and horses dragged along the grassland, and the winter grassland showed a beautiful beauty. There is no end in sight to the vast sky, and it seems that there is no end to the footsteps if they have a beginning. The river still flows far away under the ice, and the pebbles are frozen white, like ripe moons.

The occasional poplar tree was perched on a few magpies, sometimes singing, sometimes jumping under the tree to feed, and when they saw them, they flew away. The earth is surprisingly quiet, the heart is unobstructed, and it is open. The grassland under the snow, under the cold sunshine, has a unique charm, it seems that the white light fills the earth and everything, and it is impossible to distinguish which is the earth and which is the sky!

Deng Sui poked his head out of the car excitedly from time to time, looked around, and left his family's side for the first time, both excited and a little worried. There was always a sweet smile on his little face, which made Zhao Yu, who was beside him, also in a good mood, and hummed the tune of his hometown softly.

Li Xia before and after the care, from time to time to ask Deng Sui if it is cold, Deng Sui holding the gold wire stove, the furnace body is divided into three layers, the first layer is made of gold wire, the second layer of filament and the first layer of a thin layer of space, and then there is a small copper carved barrel inside, the pattern is fine, the charcoal fire can be placed in it, with the movement of people to roll back and forth. The charcoal fire in the furnace will not fall out, and it will not burn people when it rolls back and forth. The fire at her feet lit up, making the car as warm as spring. Every time Li Xia asked, she would raise her little face and reply, "It's not cold!" ”

After a day of marching like this, they have arrived in the territory of the Xiaoyue people, and they can already see the tents of the Yueshi people scattered everywhere. When they saw Deng Sui's team, they cheered excitedly, and the old and the young followed, and they marched together towards the tent of Hulan Chacha.

After a period of hard work, Hulan Chacha has basically unified the Xiaoyue clan by marrying and forming alliances with various tribes, and has become the leader of the Xiaoyue clan.

He had already heard the return, and he had already dressed up and was ready to pick up Deng Sui. His son, Hulan Zha, twenty-one years old, was handsome, pale and followed him, holding his chest for a moment with every two steps. Hulan Chacha also noticed his abnormality, but he remained silent.

The customs of the Xiaoyue clan, the Wuhuan clan and other Hu people and the Qiang people are ashamed of dying of illness, and whenever they are seriously ill to the point of danger, they commit suicide with a knife. They don't have any cure of their own, and the shamans and mages in the clan are doctors, but they mostly chant some incantations and drink some talisman water to heal the sick. Due to their perennial wars, they have many ways to treat external injuries, but most of them are helpless for internal diseases.

Hulan Zha had been coughing and vomiting since the day before yesterday, with a high fever, and the mage of the clan had come to recite the incantation several times, but it still had no effect. Hulan Chacha had a total of eleven sons and fourteen daughters, and the death of one son was not a big deal. But Hulan Zha was the eldest son, and he spent the most effort on him, which made him feel uncomfortable somewhat.

At this time, the visit of his goddaughter Deng Sui made him have no time to take care of his son's condition, so he just sighed and said: "If you are sad, stay in the tent, you don't have to come out to greet you!" ”

Hulan Zha gritted his teeth stubbornly, "No, father, I am the eldest son of the Hulan clan and your heir, I can't help but go." ”

"Okay, if you think you can, I'll take you there." Hulan Chacha was noncommittal, and ordered someone to put on a thick robe for his son and let the two of them support him one by one, but Hulan Zha still refused, he pushed them away, and followed his father step by step.

When Deng Sui's team arrived at the camp, countless bonfires had been lit, and the whole moon clan was shrouded in a joyful atmosphere. The Yue clan people who gradually followed behind Deng Sui let out cheers one after another, and the three hundred warriors were infected by the clansmen and shouted loudly. Deng Sui couldn't hold back her excitement in the car, but she must still be steady, and she must not make people feel that she was a light prisoner of the Han Dynasty. So she sat in the car all the time, instead of looking around.

It wasn't until the car stopped that Deng Sui was helped out of the car by Zhao Yu, and gave a light salute to Hulan Chacha who came up, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, daughter Deng Sui is polite." ”

Hulan Chacha was very happy, walked up and helped her, picked her up again, raised her above his head, and said loudly: "This is the daughter of Deng Yuanjun, and also the daughter of my Hulan Chacha, you have all received the great grace of the envoy, come and worship." ”

"Roar, roar, roar!" The samurai let out a deafening roar, and all the people of the Moon clan bowed down together.

Hulan Chacha put Deng Sui down, took her little hand and said, "Come, follow me into the tent, I will summon you with a bonfire and a banquet tonight." ”

As he was talking, he saw a person behind him suddenly fall to the ground, and someone in the crowd let out a few exclamations, but saw Hulan Chacha's wife, Gui Widow, running out of the crowd, pounced on the person who fell to the ground, and began to cry.

Hulancha checked it, it was his son Hulan Zha, he was anxious, but he could only say coldly: "Take it down, if it doesn't get better tomorrow, I will end his life with my own hands!" We must not let him die of illness and become a shame for the Hulan family! ”

Deng Sui looked at all this curiously, and understood that the person who fell to the ground was sick, but she didn't understand why she was going to kill him if she didn't get better, so she raised a pair of crystal bright eyes and looked at Hulan Chacha and said, "Father-in-law, why do you want to kill him?" ”

Hulan Chacha explained their customs to Deng Sui, Deng Sui frowned, and said to the doctor behind him: "Master Li, you go and see how his illness is." As he spoke, he pulled up Hulan Chacha and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, you listen to Sui'er tell you." He walked towards the tent.

Deng Sui explained in detail to Hulan Chacha the reason for the person's illness, and also told him about bringing medicine and seeds, she said: "When a person is sick, he must be treated by the correct method, and the death that cannot be cured is normal, if there is no correct treatment, it is judged that the person will die, and it is not in accordance with the destiny of heaven to forcibly end his life." If it is really God who takes away his life, it is his life that should be decided, and it cannot be artificially ended! ”

Hulan Chacha nodded again and again when he heard this, and then Doctor Li came in from outside the tent and replied to Deng Sui: "Miss, this son is only suffering from a cold, although the treatment is late, there is still help, I will first use medicine to help him reduce his fever, and he will improve after two days." ”

Hulan Chacha wiped the tears on his face and said: "I didn't expect that it could really be cured, if I killed him recklessly, it would be my sin." ”

Hearing the news that the prince could be healed, the people of the Xiaoyue clan began to cheer again, and Hulan Chacha announced loudly that the cattle and sheep would be slaughtered, and the banquet would begin.
