Chapter 172: The Baptism of the Cold Pool
One hundred and seventy-two, the baptism of Hantan
After Huo Mei left Wei Ling, he came to the gate of Hantan with the key alone, the gate was made of thousands of pounds of falling stones, the key was inserted through the small holes, and the thousands of pounds of falling stones rose, and in front of him was a long stone staircase leading straight to the ground.
Lit the torch in his hand, Huo Mei walked in alone, the stone door closed behind him, Huo Mei turned around and saw An Gongzi who came in a hurry, just standing with a torch and smiling at him.
An Gongzi's heart trembled when he saw it with a smile, and as the stone door closed, he sat on the ground without an image.
"Childe!"
Yingwei rarely saw An Gongzi such a gaffe, the previous time was because Huo Mei married someone else, An Gongzi tortured himself in Yunmo Villa, and finally carried it, but now, looking at the closed stone door in front of him, if Huo Mei can't get out of it, then I'm afraid this time An Gongzi really can't bear it.
The old housekeeper also rushed over when he heard the news, and when he saw An Gongzi sitting on the ground, his heart tightened.
"Miss Xiaomei, she?"
Looking at An Gongzi's decadent expression, Uncle Yong also guessed a rough idea, behind this stone gate is the cold pool, after thousands of years, absorbing the cold breath of the world, the absorption function of the cold pool is rare in the world, and because of this, it is the only way to get rid of the ink without trace toxin on Huo Mei's body.
An Gongzi wanted to follow Huo Mei into Hantan together, but he didn't want to, Huo Mei was one step ahead of him, and when he sent Wei Ling out of the village, he went in alone.
There is only one key to open the door, and it is still in Huo Mei's hands, and An Gongzi has no other way but to wait outside.
There was chaos outside. There was silence in the cold pool, except for the occasional dripping of water. All that was left was the sound of Khomey's own footsteps.
The further down you go, the heavier the chill becomes. Although she was wearing a cotton robe, Huo Mei still felt that the cold air permeated every pore on her body, and she kept burrowing the cold into her body.
Huo Mei's every step is extremely difficult, her legs are trembling when she walks, she doesn't know martial arts, and naturally she doesn't have internal strength to protect her body, such cold is fatal to ordinary people.
The child in her womb began to move, and Khomei was a little nervous and stopped. His hands were on his stomach.
"Xin'er is not afraid, with her mother here, we will definitely be able to break through! Are you well-behaved? ”
Huo Mei's face and hair are now full of white frost, the breath exhaled can instantly turn into frost, and her legs are almost numb from freezing, and the child in her womb seems to understand Huo Mei's words, and soon stops moving.
Stepping away from his already frozen legs, Huo Mei continued to walk down step by step, the torch in his hand had long been extinguished. Huo Mei took out the Night Pearl from his arms again, and for a while, the small stone corridor was full of green light from the Night Pearl.
After walking for a whole hour, Huo Mei reached the end of the stone steps, and all the strength in his body was exhausted. In front of him was a cold pool of oily water, and in such an extremely cold place, this pool of water did not freeze. What a surprise.
Through the pool, Khomei saw an iceman. The clothes were frozen, and there was a layer of hoarfrost attached to the hair, eyebrows, and even eyelashes. Huo Mei's little face was pale, his fingers were frozen unconscious, and he didn't hold it steady, and the night pearl in his hand fell into the pool, and then Huo Mei saw a terrifying scene.
The night pearl shone in the cold pool, reflecting a red shadow inside, and if you look closely, it is actually a woman in red, the red clothes are swinging around with the water, looking at the looming face inside, Huo Mei was frightened.
"Red lady! How is this possible? ”
yes, how is that possible? She remembered. The red lady died in her arms, or did she cremate her with her own hands, and now ......
Huo Mei was stunned, and something even more terrifying happened, the woman in red in the pool actually floated up from inside, and Huo Mei decided that there was a force pulling herself into the water.
Instinctively, Huo Mei didn't want to enter the pool of water, so she grabbed the stone steps and struggled a few times, but still did not break free from the suction of the pool on her.
After falling into the pool, the robe on his body became the restraint of Huo Mei, and soon sank to the bottom of the pool, Huo Mei struggled to surface, but he also took a breath, and no longer had the strength to float.
At the last moment of falling into a coma, Huo Mei was very close to the Red Lady, and Huo Mei in the water reached out to touch the Red Lady's face, and when the last darkness hit, Huo Mei completely lost consciousness.
Huo Mei seemed to have fallen into a dream, and inside was the gentle smile of the red lady, so she looked at Huo Mei quietly, and then called softly.
"Xiaomei!" Huo Mei suddenly burst into tears, rushed over and hugged the red lady's body, but found that it was just a phantom, and as soon as his hand touched it, the phantom disappeared.
"Matchmaker, where are you?"
"Xiaomei, I'm here!" Huo Mei turned around, and the phantom of the red lady appeared again, this time Huo Mei didn't dare to rush over again, so he could only stand in place and watch the red lady approach little by little.
"My Xiaomei has grown up and is going to be a mother!" Home wiped tears from her face and smiled.
"Xiaomei, if I can see you, the matchmaker will have no regrets! I've been sorry for too many people in this life, and I've let down too many people, so it's up to you to help me pay it back! Moxiang Pavilion did not have any restraints from the imperial court when the Xiongnu fell, so don't worry about anything, do what you like! The matchmaker still said the same thing, you can go wherever you go in this life, that is, you must stay away from the palace, my Moxiang Pavilion will not become the right-hand man of the person in power, let alone be threatened by the emperor and work for him! You remember! ”
Huo Mei knelt on the ground with a plop and replied cautiously: "Don't worry, Xiaomei will remember your teachings!" ”
The red lady nodded to Huo Mei, and then the figure suddenly disappeared, Huo Mei reached out to grab the hem of her clothes, but did not catch anything.
"Matchmaker...... Matchmaker ...... "Huo Mei in a high fever is talking nonsense, An Gongzi is sweating profusely, he rescued Huo Mei from the cold pool, Huo Mei has been in such a coma for more than half a month, although the adsorption of the cold pool has removed a lot of toxins from her body, but she has not woken up after lying down for so long, which is very dangerous for the fetus in Huo Mei's womb.
"Xiaomei. Wake up! Brother An, please! You've been in a coma for half a month and won't wake up. The child in the womb is in danger, and you have survived so hard until now. Do you want to make her stillborn like this? ”
The old housekeeper has been standing in front of the bed, in the past half a month, he, like An Gongzi, has barely stepped out of this room, and An Gongzi has been guarding Huo Mei's side day and night, and the entire Yunmo Villa has become depressed because of Huo Mei's condition, so when Xiaohong rushed here and wanted to find out about Huo Mei's condition, he felt that this villa was lifeless. Xiaohong had a bad premonition in her heart.
The shadow guard took Xiaohong to the outside of the wing room and gave her hand to report.
"Childe, General Wei has sent someone to see Miss Xiaomei!"
There was no sound in the room, Xiaohong waited patiently for a while, and when she saw that no one came out to greet her, she didn't wait, and walked over and pushed open the door of the side room.
As soon as the door opened, there was a strong smell of Chinese medicine, and there was no sound inside. Xiaohong didn't care about etiquette, so she broke in directly.
"Master! Master, wake up, I'm Xiaohong! Wake up, don't scare me! Khomey didn't react. Xiaohong was already crying in a hurry.
"Who are you?" When An Gongzi came out of the inner room, he slipped Xiaohong away from Huo Mei's bed, and saw her crying. An Gongzi frowned.
"Yinghong, the director of the Mo Pavilion, has seen Gongzi An!"
"Moge?"
An Gongzi frowned. He really didn't expect that the head of the Mo Pavilion turned out to be a little woman. In his opinion, in a place like Moge that makes a living by killing people, the person in charge should be a big man who kills people without blinking, not the weak little woman in front of him.
"You came, Wei Ling sent you?" Xiaohong nodded, and Gongzi An didn't ask again, but told Xiaohong to do something.
"Go to a basin of hot water to scrub Xiaomei well, she has a high fever these days, although I changed her clothes, but ...... It's still inconvenient! There are not many female dependents in Yunmo Villa, and Xiaomei doesn't like strangers touching her body, so she ......"
Xiaohong was speechless, she hadn't seen Huo Mei for almost twenty days, as this master said, isn't it that Huo Mei hasn't taken a bath for almost twenty days, and she can't care about anything else, Xiaohong went out directly to prepare.
When he came back, he found that Huo Mei was still not awake, so he was a little worried. "Master, why isn't she awake yet?"
An Gongzi was still dispensing medicine, and without answering, the old housekeeper said something.
"Miss Xiaomei has been in a coma for more than half a month......"
"What?" Xiaohong's wooden basin in her hand almost overturned, and her eyes were staring at An Gongzi, but An Gongzi didn't even raise her head.
Xiaohong is actually quite jealous of this An Gongzi's pair of blue eyes, she has seen a lot of Huns, but the person with blue eyes, she is still the first time to see it, as a person from the Central Plains, Xiaohong, seeing An Gongzi's appearance is like seeing a monster.
Thinking of the word monster, Xiaohong unconsciously lowered her head, An Gongzi didn't pay attention to Xiaohong's expression, and after preparing the medicine, he helped Huo Mei to feed her little by little, and then exited the room with the old housekeeper.
Xiaohong began to wipe Huo Mei's body briefly, and talked to Huo Mei while she was busy, reporting the progress of the Han army during this time, telling Huo Mei where Wei Ling had gone and how many military exploits he had made.
The sound of chirping rang in Huo Mei's ears non-stop, and it woke up Huo Mei, who had been in a coma for half a month, so when An Gongzi came in and saw Huo Mei who woke up, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Brother An!" With a hoarse voice, Gongzi An did not answer, but fed Huo Mei some warm water first.
"You're finally awake, and you're not going to wake up again...... Just ......" An Gongzi didn't say the next words, since Huo Mei woke up, then there was no need to worry about the child in her womb.
Xiaohong watched silently, and took advantage of the time to go out to get something, and sent a signal to the shadow guard outside.
Wei Ling, who is thousands of miles away, is fighting with Hu Yanyu Dadanyu, and the two of them have fought in one place early in the morning after a few days of fierce fighting, but unlike the previous days, today and the two days are in a single way.
One person and one horse, Wei Ling uses a gun, Hu Yanyu uses a big knife, the two sometimes ride horses, sometimes make moves, and the Gongsun Shi who looks at it is in a cold sweat, these days Wei Ling almost uses himself as an iron man, sleeps very little at night, does not eat much during the day, and takes the things used by Huo Mei in a daze every day, or fights on the battlefield.
If this continues, even the iron man will be abolished.
"General Wei is so skilled, you and I have been fighting for almost half a month, and you can still be so energetic, which really makes this king admire!" Wei Ling sneered, put the spear in his hand behind him, and looked at Hu Yanyu's eyes quite deep.
"It's a pity, in the past few days, this king has seen that General Wei is quite angry, and he has killed countless people in the past half month, could it be that General Wei has something difficult in his heart, so he has nowhere to vent, so he vented it all on the battlefield?"
Wei Ling's face was pale, his face was full of murderous aura, this honor made Hu Yantao seem familiar, he smiled secretly, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, reorganized his fighting spirit, and Hu Yantao waved his knife and rushed in the direction of Wei Ling.
This blow Hu Yanyu used all his strength, Wei Ling blocked it with a spear, and with a bang, the big knife cut sparks on the iron rod of the spear, Wei Ling's tiger mouth was numb, and the spear in his hand almost shook off, but Wei Ling's face did not change his face and turned the spear, and the head of the spear stabbed Hu Yanyan's front chest.
Hu Yantao originally wanted to use psychological tactics to make Wei Ling make mistakes, but he didn't think that Wei Ling was unmoved at all, so Hu Yantao didn't take advantage, and the vicious battle in the early morning ended like this.
When he returned to the big tent, Wei Ling vomited blood, and Song Qing reprimanded him with a blue face.
"General, how long are you going to toss yourself? If your daughter-in-law doesn't come back, you don't want your life! Wei Ling didn't speak, let Song Qing scold, holding a handkerchief in his hand, which was the news that Huo Mei brought to him after he was rescued by Gongzi An.
There are only a few words on it: the person has been rescued, his life is dying, and he is unconscious!
These words are like a few daggers inserted into Wei Ling's heart, and the sentence that his life is in danger makes Wei Ling's three souls lose all seven souls, so he doesn't care about his body for a long time.
The atmosphere in the big tent was very dull, Wei Ling refused to drink the medicine, and was nagged by Song Qingnian for a long time, and finally had no choice but to move Chang Hui to force Wei Ling to drink the medicine.
When Ying Wei came, Wei Ling rarely leaned on the bed for a nap, he was really tired these days.
"What's the matter?" Gongsun Shi asked in a low voice, after all, it was indeed not easy for Wei Ling to rest.
"I came to deliver the letter at the behest of Master Ying!" As soon as he heard that it was Ying's business, Gongsun Shi was about to pull people out, but Wei Ling suddenly opened his eyes.
"What about the letter that Xiaohong asked you to send? Bring! The shadow guard was stunned for a moment, and hurried back.
"What the subordinates brought was a message, and the signal sent by the British master said that the pavilion master had woken up, so that the general could rest assured!"
"Really?" Wei Ling jumped up from the bed in some surprise, he didn't care about wearing his shoes, and grabbed Ying Wei's shoulders with both hands, looking very excited. (To be continued......)
