Shen Siye took care of his wife and children, and did not hurry too much.

Walking slowly on the road, occasionally stopping to look at the yellow spring by the country ditch, looking at the green countryside, it is a bit like stepping on spring.

Out of the Yishan Mountains, the horizon gradually broadened.

The sun is gently and gently sprinkled with brilliance, and the southeast wind is blowing gracefully, as if the whole heaven and earth are naturally exuding gentleness and tenderness, which makes people can't help but follow the gentleness.

It doesn't look like a spring day in the Northland, the sun is hot and can't wait for summer, and then it leaves a drizzle and returns to the harsh winter, cold to the marrow.

Shen Rouning took a few deep breaths, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips.

"Huh?"

The next day after departure, Shen Si chose a sunny leeward col to set up camp, Shen Rou Ning saw that the hill around him was not very high, not steep, there was an obvious way up the mountain, so he gave Shen Si Master, took Shen Duanrong and a few girls wanted to go up the mountain to have a look.

She seemed to have just seen a touch of red in the mountains and forests that had not yet turned green.

Could it be a rhododendron or something else?

And Shen Rouning took a few more steps towards the faint red, and when she saw the situation in that small ravine clearly, she couldn't help but pause.

There are many people nearby, and there are several small villages.

In winter, firewood is precious, and the dead thatch in the mountain forest has long been harvested by the villagers, revealing gray-brown soil and stones. And on such a hillside, there was actually a person lying on his stomach.

The royal blue clothes on his body should have been very expensive, but at this time, most of them had been cut by the branches of the mountain, revealing the black undershirt inside. His deerskin boots, embroidered with gold and silver thread, were filthy and unbeatable, and they were worn out, revealing gray white socks.

As for the redness that Shen Rouning saw......

A dagger was stuck in the dirt of the rocks, and the thumb-sized ruby on the handle reflected the light against the sun.

Such a rich man......

How did you end up here in such a mess? This hill is called Mantou Mountain by the locals, and it is round and buttoned like a steamed bun, and it is not very high. Because there are many villagers nearby, even small beasts like roe deer rabbits are relatively rare here...... Even if Shen Rouning didn't find him, it wouldn't be long before some villagers from the mountain would find him, so if it wasn't a secret place, was it suitable for fleeing and hiding?

Shen Duanrong had been following Shen Rouning's side, and soon saw the man in the small ravine.

He instinctively wanted to go over, but when he saw Shen Rouning standing there pondering, he couldn't help but say, "Sister, there is someone there...... Won't we save it? ”

"Yes, you have to save it." Shen Rouning grabbed Shen Duanrong and said, "However, we are all women and children, and it was useless in the past. Tell your father what happened, and ask him to send someone. ”

Shen Rouning pointed to a mother-in-law to go down the mountain, and said to Shen Duanrong: "Anyway, it's not far, it won't take long for my father to come over." ”

――

Chen Houji will never forget, when he was lying on his stomach in the cold and awkward, he couldn't feel the slightest trace of his body, and thought that he was going to die and was desperate, when he suddenly heard someone coming, and thanked God in his heart for the great joy of "being saved", when he listened to his little cousin standing in the distance, just talking to his little cousin, and never coming, he ......

"You see, he's holding a dagger, what if he breaks out and hurts someone?"

Girl, don't you see that I can't hold a dagger in my hand! And the dagger was a few steps away from me! I want to be up, but I have to be able to move!

"There are so many rotten leaves and rocks in the ravines, maybe there are snakes. Spring has arrived, the land has thawed, and the hibernating snakes must have come out to find food......"

Chen Houji listened to the little girl's serious and crisp voice, and for some reason, he burst into tears.

You know, even when he thought he was going to die in this unknown hill, he didn't cry when his heart was full of despair!

He is a man, since he was sensible at the age of three, he has never shed a cry, okay!

At this moment, Chen Houji's heart was simply broken!

Until he was carried down the mountain and lay on the warm carriage after being detoxified of the snake venom, Chen Houji was still in a trance and couldn't come back to his senses.

"Was it really a snake bite?"

Outside the carriage, the voice that Chen Houji engraved in his heart made his stiff eyes roll.

"Fortunately, it's not really a venomous snake......"

"So, wherever you go in the future, remember to bring at least one person with you...... Otherwise, just like the son just now, he came from a rich and noble family, if he hadn't met us, he would have been lying on the mountain all night, and he would not have been poisoned, but he would have frozen to death......"

Chen Houji wiped his face, and his body, which had been warmed up and could move a little, stiffened again. He wiped his face, and this time he didn't cry out—

I want to cry without tears.

And Shen Rouning, who was outside the carriage, knew nothing about Chen Houji's inner activities.

She led Shen Duanrong past the carriage vacated for the "patient", and she was not curious about the idea of going in to see the "person she saved".

She saw that Mama Fan was talking to Master Shen Si and Mrs. Shen Si in a hurry, so she walked over with brisk steps.

Mama Fan glanced at her and Shen Duanrong, bent over, and did not avoid the two of them, but continued: "The old slave thinks that there is a **, and the person rescued by the fourth girl is the young master of the uncle's family. ”

"The master may not remember, but Mrs., you can go in and see him, he looks eight points similar to the uncle when he was young!"

"What do you mean, we happened to save the cousin of the Chen family?" Shen Rouning was very surprised: "How could there be such a coincidence? ”

"Yes, Mama, are you mistaken?" Master Shen also felt that this was too coincidental.

For so many years, the Chen family in the capital has not contacted them, and they have never sent anyone to the Shen family village to take a look. And on the first day they came out of Shenjia Village to set up camp, they met a member of the Chen family, and they also saved people?

"No, the old slave will never be mistaken!" Mama Fan hurriedly said: "The young master just now is really exactly the same as the eldest uncle when he was young!" There is no such person in the world! ”

"Moreover, before leaving, the old slave sent a letter to the old lady......"

Mama Fan lowered her head, knelt on the ground, and said, "The old slave is the master of his own affairs, please punish the old lady." ”

Mrs. Shen Si is her serious master, not the old lady of the Chen family in the capital.

Mama Fan did this, it can be said that she was thinking about Mrs. Shen Si, but if she was held accountable, she couldn't escape the two items of "betraying the master" and "being disloyal".

And these two are the most unacceptable mistakes as a subordinate.

Mrs. Shen looked at her faintly, paused for a long time, and said, "You sent a letter to your father?" That's why you saw a person who was somewhat similar to your eldest brother, and you thought that my father had sent someone to meet us? ”

"yes, ah, no." Mama Fan buried her head and said: "It's the old slave who really thinks that the young master is very similar to the eldest uncle, so you can just look at him, madam." ”

"Isn't it ......" Mrs. Shen Si said softly: "He will wake up in a while and ask." I don't have to see you. ”

"That's what Madame said."

Mama Fan knelt on the cold ground in early spring and didn't dare to get up, even if Mrs. Shen Si had already left, Master Shen Si had already chased her away, she also buried her head and knelt, dissatisfied with not moving at all.
