Chapter 22: A Wave of Flattening and a Wave of Rise
The bandits of Black Wind Mountain were all exterminated, and the gold and silver were handed over to the treasury, Liu Muxian was seriously injured by Feng Guixie this time, and he was furious in a fit of anger, and he fainted in bed for two days before waking up.
"Brother, how are you?"
Liu Susu sat on the edge of the bed, saw that Liu Muxian's whole body was subjected to a big circle, his mustache turned white, and he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief sadly, and asked worriedly.
"It's okay for me, I almost got by the abandoned son you raised!"
Liu Muxian coughed a few times and snorted coldly, very weak.
"What nonsense is my brother talking about, Yu'er's ascension to the throne depends on your advice, and the future of the Liu family still depends on your brother, you must hold on."
"Why are you here?"
Liu Muxian stared at her and asked in a deep voice, Liu Susu put down Jinpa and replied: "My brother has not been to the court for two days, and the emperor heard that the imperial doctor said that you are in a hurry and are very sick, so he allowed me to come back and have a look." ”
"I'm just afraid that he wants you to come back and see if I'm dead or not, Feng Wushi, an ungrateful person, helped him ascend the throne, and he actually let his son do this to me in turn, good, very good."
"Brother, the wall has ears, don't say this kind of rebellious words, it's important to take care of your body."
Liu Susu hurriedly stopped him and reached out to take the medicinal soup on the table.
"What about the phoenix?"
"The emperor gave him a mansion in the eastern suburbs, he has moved out of the palace, and now he is ordered to build a new house for those homeless people at the foot of Heifeng Mountain."
"Don't let your most favored son do this, but he handed it over to Feng Guixie, what kind of reputation is the emperor in his heart?"
Liu Muxian looked at her puzzled, but Liu Su's phoenix eyes narrowed, and he sneered: "After the incident in Heifeng Mountain subsided, the emperor sent someone to send those homeless people out of the city, and the matter of building a new farmhouse was originally intended to send Feng Guifang to do it, but before leaving, there was news of the epidemic among the homeless people. ”
"Epidemic"
Liu Muxian lay on the bed and muttered to himself, shaking his old hand suddenly, and his deep eyes flashed with essence.
In the incident of Black Wind Mountain, there must have been Lian Qingcheng's secret help to make Feng Gui Evil win, these two people "cut off his arm", and he let them die without a place to be buried.
"Childe, let's go back, there are more and more villagers who are dying, in case you accidentally catch the epidemic, the prince and the prince will be worried about death."
Shui Lingyu followed behind Lian Qingcheng and carefully avoided the villagers lying on the side of the road, Gongzi came with the evil king to build a new house for the homeless people, but he never expected that the emperor would spread the epidemic after expelling these people from the city, Gongzi let the evil king stay away from the epidemic area and came here to check the situation, in case something happened, how could she go back and explain to the prince.
"If you can't find the cause, the speed of the epidemic will only get faster and faster, and when the time comes, what will the emperor do with these people for the sake of the overall situation, they are also killed by me in the end and have no home, and now this kind of thing has happened, how can this son ignore it."
Lian Qingcheng gave the medicine on the cart to those patients one by one, his eyebrows furrowed, this disease seems to be getting more and more serious, and the imperial doctor sent by the palace has not yet found out the reason, what should I do
Shui Lingyu didn't dare to follow her closely, and suddenly there were a few bird calls in the air, she looked up, and suddenly shouted excitedly: "Look, Childe, Su Yu has a letter!" ”
Lian Qingcheng pursed his lips and smiled secretly, reached out to catch the bird that was slowly flying down, and pulled out a piece of tissue paper from his leg.
"None? Childe, what does this mean? ”
Shui Lingyu looked at her in surprise, but even Qingcheng was silent, and even Su Yu didn't find out any news, so she could only sit and wait
"Ke'er, Ke'er's son, look for my granddaughter, Ke'er is gone!"
An old woman trembled and fell at Lian Qingcheng's feet, she hurriedly helped her up, and said softly: "Old man, get up." ”
"Childe, save my little granddaughter, she said she was going to find me medicine, it's been two hours, my K'er"
The old woman grabbed Lian Qingcheng's arm tightly, Shui Lingyu wanted to stop but couldn't stop it, she was anxious to watch from the sidelines, this old man was terminally ill, and the son was in such close contact with her, how could it be good if she was sick.
"Don't worry, old man, I'll send someone to find your granddaughter, how old is she and what does she look like?"
"Ke'er is eight or eight years old this year, with a pair of very bright eyes, my son and daughter-in-law were all killed by bandits, and there is only such a granddaughter left in the old body, she is still sick, and I beg my son to find her."
The old woman knelt on the ground weakly and wanted to kowtow to Lian Qingcheng, but she hurriedly stopped her and smiled softly: "Don't worry, old man, I will definitely bring your precious granddaughter back." ”
A group of people searched around Heifeng Mountain, if even Qingcheng guessed correctly, this little girl was afraid that she had also been infected with the epidemic, and if she had left the mountain, the epidemic would be even more difficult to control.
"Childe, I didn't find it."
"We don't have anyone here either."
"I've searched it all, but there's no trace of anyone."
The guards reported the situation to her one by one, and Shui Lingyu looked at her anxiously, "Childe, in case she has already gone out of the mountain"
"You stay here and continue to look for it, and this son will go out and have a look."
She gave orders to everyone in a deep voice and walked quickly down the mountain.
The whole boundary of Heifeng Mountain is not large, so the mountain is peculiar, the villagers who originally lived under the mountain named their village "Heifeng Village", and there is a long and gentle soil slope opposite to Heifeng Mountain half a mile away from the village, which is called "Wangfeng Slope".
Lian Qingcheng walked along the road to the top of the slope, and saw a few wisps of green smoke floating in the air from a distance, a pair of water eyes narrowed slightly, most of the villagers in the village were infected with the epidemic and stayed on the mountain, even if they were not sick, they followed Feng Gui to build a new house under the mountain, how could there be cooking smoke here?
She was silent for a long time before she walked towards the thatched house, and when she got close to the door, she smelled a few hints of medicinal incense.
"Anyone?"
She knocked lightly on the door, tentatively.
Silent response, only the air exuded medicinal gas, she pushed open the door and walked in quietly, the courtyard was not big, full of all kinds of herbs, the door of the living room was wide open, she went straight up the bluestone steps into the house.
There was a table in a thatched hut with a bunch of delicate chrysanthemums, which smelled fragrant and pleasant, and a bed was placed in the corner, on which a little girl lay quietly and asleep, her fair face stained with some dried dirt, and her hair was unkempt with a few weeds.
"Gongzi enters someone's house without the consent of the master, is this the etiquette of your Dachang people?"
An angry voice sounded behind her, she turned around, and saw a woman in white standing at the door with a bowl of medicine, with slender hands, soft wrists, peach eyes, moth eyebrows like a crescent moon, she was wearing a white veil on her face, but only so, she could guess what kind of peerless face was hidden under the veil.
"My son is looking for someone here, I don't want to disturb the girl's purity, and I ask the girl not to be surprised."
She was humble and polite, and bent down to apologize.
The woman at the door walked in and put the medicine on the table, and chuckled: "It's polite now, you are interesting." ”
"Hehe, it's not as changeable as the girl's heart."
She bent her eyebrows slightly, stared into the other party's eyes and asked, "Dare to ask the girl's name." ”
"Falling geese".
"The ancients often said that if a woman has the beauty of sinking fish and falling geese, and the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, it is a picture of many blessings and longevity.
She whispered, not letting go of a trace of the look in the person's eyes, just now this girl mentioned the etiquette of the Dachang people, it can be seen that she is not a Dachang person, but there is an unknown woman living in a difficult area where the epidemic is spreading, who is she and what is her purpose?
Luo Yan's eyes flashed half fiercely, and he sneered: "Childe is wrong, it should be a shameful life." ”
Lian Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, her thin lips pursed slightly and she didn't speak, and Luo Yan stopped saying anything when she saw this, took the medicine and sat on the edge of the bed, helped the little girl on the bed, and carefully fed her the medicine.
After drinking half of the bowl of medicine, the little girl gradually opened her eyes, looked at the environment around her blankly, saw the person supporting her behind her, and a pair of bright eyes suddenly widened, and said in surprise: "Sister beauty, it's you!" ”
"It's good to wake up, you're fine, go back quickly."
Luo Yan patted her on the shoulder, lifted the thin quilt and carried her out of bed.
Kerr
Lian Qingcheng muttered the name, isn't this the granddaughter of the old man.
"Sister Beauty, please go and save my grandma, she is very sick."
Ke'er suddenly sat down at the feet of the wild goose, teary eyes.
Luo Yan had peach eyes, brushed her hands away, and walked out expressionlessly.
"Girl, the practitioner of medicine is supposed to save the world, this little girl's epidemic was cured by you, there are still many people on the Black Wind Mountain who are suffering from torture, if you are really hard-hearted, why save her."
Lian Qingcheng stood behind her with her hands in her hands, and called out to her in a deep voice.
"I don't save people, she just happened to fall in front of my door and blocked my way."
Luo Yan replied coldly, and walked out of the courtyard without looking back.
Lian Qingcheng shook his head helplessly, this falling goose is really a contradictory person.
Thinking about the purpose of her coming out, she turned around and walked towards the little girl, squatted down and smiled: "Ke'er, let's go, grandma is still waiting for you." ”
"But, grandma, grandma is still sick"
The little girl sobbed under her breath, and she couldn't finish her words.
Lian Qingcheng sighed in distress, it would be nice if he could bring Luoyan to Black Wind Mountain, but that person obviously wouldn't agree to save people, how should this be
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the medicine bowl that Ke'er had just drunk, she bent her beautiful eyes, pulled the little girl out, and saw that there was no shadow of the goose in the thatched house, she shook her body and went to another room and secretly took something and ran out quickly.
"Third son, where did you get this dregs?"
Shen Yanzhi is the imperial doctor who is favored by the emperor in the palace, and the epidemic is strict, so he was also ordered to go out of the city with the phoenix and the evil party, he has been studying the cause for several days but he can't understand it, and at this moment he is holding the medicine residue sent by Lian Qingcheng, and his face is difficult to hide his excitement.
"Don't ask me where I got it from, and tell me, is it useful?"
Lian Qingcheng looked at him anxiously.
Shen Yanzhi put down the medicine residue and laughed: "It's useful, how can it be useless, this is the antidote!" ”
"Antidote?"
She stared at those unknown herbs in surprise, Luo Yan actually had an antidote to the epidemic in her hand, who was she?
Shen Yanzhi didn't pay attention to Lian Qingcheng's already uncalm look, and went out with a smile on his face to re-prepare the new medicine and boil it into juice for the patients to drink.
"Third son, you have really made a great contribution this time."
Shen Yanzhi looked at the effect of the medicine with satisfaction, and looked at Lian Qingcheng with admiration.
She shook her head bitterly, her heart was mixed, it was naturally a good thing to control the epidemic, but there was an unidentified miracle doctor so close to Kyoto City, and in the future, I don't know what else will happen.
Lian Qingcheng saw that the sky outside the house was getting dark, and his heart was always worried, so he took advantage of the guards' ignorance, flew down the mountain and returned to the small thatched house along the Wangfeng slope.
The yard was pitch black, she walked in quietly, flew to a banyan tree, closely watched the situation around her, the house was lit with faint candlelight, the shadow of the falling goose dangled in front of the window, sometimes the head was sometimes stopped, a cat meow suddenly sounded outside, even Qingcheng's figure moved and hidden in a bush of green leaves, but the water eyes saw the falling goose blowing out the candle flame in the house, and walked out with a medicine basket on his back.
She was secretly strange, twisted her eyebrows and whispered behind her, a black cat lying comfortably in the medicine basket, her eyes glowing green, turning around vigilantly.
When she arrived at the foot of the Black Wind Mountain, Luo Yan suddenly stopped and glanced at the back, Lian Qingcheng hurriedly dodged and hid behind a tree, and after waiting for a while, she heard the sound of squirming footsteps, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and walked out from behind the tree.
However, after only one step and then paused, if she remembered correctly, she walked from this road, there was a hundred-year-old well at the end, and the people who lived in Heifeng Village lived on it and attached great importance to it, but since they were sent out of the city, there was an epidemic, and the wild goose lived on the slope of Wangfeng, and it was so coincidental that there was an antidote to the epidemic, and they had searched for the cause many times before to no avail, could it be that the real source was here?
Thinking of this, she hurriedly trotted a few steps to catch up with the wild goose, and saw that she had arrived in front of the well, holding a bag of white medicine powder in her hand and pouring it into the well.
"Miss Luoyan, more exposed, what are you doing standing here."
