1066 Commitment
- I don't know how long it took, but Lin Shan finally raised his head, as if he had just recovered his mind from his thoughts that stretched into the endless distant land, and then he looked again towards the end of the dirt road stretching into the distance, and saw that the two vague but still familiar backs on the deserted road were gone.
He stared for a moment, then raised his hand to the height of his forehead, and waved it in the direction where the two men were gone, and then he grasped the reins and turned them in the direction of the return to the dwelling.
Maybe this one turned around in a hurry, maybe the big thing in his heart was finally put aside, or there were some other reasons, at the moment when Lin Shan turned around, he suddenly felt that not only the surrounding environment had changed, as if even the sky and the earth had suddenly changed......
When Chen Jiu also proudly waved to the end of the dirt road, and then turned the horse's head, she saw Lin Shan's shoulders stiffen for a moment, and then suddenly leaned and fell off the horse!
"Lin ......"
Chen Jiu exclaimed, and before he could think about it, he immediately released the reins in his hand and "fell" to the groundβshe threw herself down half of Lin Shan's shoulder at the speed of falling off her horse, to prevent him from rolling down the hill.
Although this hill is not very high, it cannot really be compared to a small mound after all, even if it falls down from a gentle slope, a distance of dozens of zhang, it is difficult to avoid some trauma.
Both of them fell heavily to the ground, although Chen Jiu deliberately fell under the horse's back, but when his body really hit the rugged mountain, although half of his body pressed on Lin Shan's shoulder, slightly slowing down the cushioning strength, but the other side of his body was already numb by the fall. After a while, the severe pain of the contusion reached the brain, provoking the person to faint.
But Chen Jiu never dared to faint at this time. Lin Shan's sudden fall from the horse almost frightened her.
Struggling to get up half-up, Chen Jiu grabbed one of Lin Shan's sleeves with all his strength and shook it, and called out repeatedly: "Brother Lin...... Saburo ......"
The severe pain caused by the body hitting the ground also made Lin Shan wake up quickly, and Chen Jiu saw that he was awake, and his heart was slightly calm, and then he struggled with all his strength. Help him to sit up.
"What's wrong with you? What is the sudden discomfort? Chen Jiu stared at Lin Shan's face that began to turn a little pale. Nervously asked.
"Drunk......" Lin Shan closed his eyelids hard, and when he opened his eyes again, he was a little more energetic. Although just now he felt dizzy because of the sudden onset of his head. When he fell off the horse, he didn't see how Chen Jiu pounced down to save him, but at this moment, he looked at Chen Jiu's messy appearance, and he could roughly guess what adventure she had done for herself just now.
He tried to remove the sticky grass from her hair, but he moved his fingers. He frowned suddenly.
Chen Jiu had noticed that it seemed that half of his arm was injured. She hurriedly grabbed the hand he was about to lift, but when she lifted the sleeve, the movement became extremely gentle.
When the sleeves of Lin Shan's shirt were raised, Chen Jiu did not find any scratches.
She was slightly relieved at the same time. Then she tried to lift the sleeve on the other side of his shirt again, but she was soon stopped by his voice.
"It's just a fall, and my body is in some pain for the time being. Out of the way. Lin Shan grabbed Chen Jiu's hand and clenched it gently. But soon it was released again. After a pause, he continued: "It should be that the medicinal power has passed, but the strength of the wine is still there, so I can only work hard for you to go back and call someone to pick me up." β
Chen Jiu was so anxious that he didn't even hear Lin Shan's words, so he said urgently: "What about the medicine? You didn't have it with you? β
"You and the pharmacist told me to take that medicine in moderation, and I obediently left it in my house when I went out just now." After Lin Shan said this slowly, he reluctantly smiled at his lips, and really pretended to be a good child.
Seeing that Lin Shan was still joking, it was obvious that his mind was very sober at this time, and Chen Jiu calmed down a little, but the sadness on her face was still there, and she hesitated and said: "Otherwise, I will carry you back and leave you here alone, how can I rest assured." β
"What's not to worry about. On a hill like this, even a wild dog is reluctant to nest here, maybe......" Lin Shan breathed a sigh of relief before he continued: "When you come back later, I can still catch a nest of rabbits for you to raise and play." β
If she listened to Lin Shan's words during casual chatting on weekdays, Chen Jiu would definitely be amused and laughed, but at this time, she was in pain, nervous, and anxious, where could she still show a relaxed mood to face any laughter.
She shook Lin Shan's hand and felt that his fingertips were a little cold, this was originally the norm for his body to be much worse than before, but at this moment, the abnormality in body temperature was caused by the environment, and it was amplified several times in her heart.
"No......" she finally chose to resist the construction of the forest and fir land, no matter how reliable it sounded when he said it.
However, she only had time to say a word when she was interrupted by Lin Shan's words.
"I'm thinner than I used to be, but your body is even thinner, and doing so will crush you." Lin Shan put away his reluctant smile. He had been frowning slightly, but his face was stern again, although he was still sitting on the ground, and he did not look at Chen Jiu from a condescending perspective, but he had naturally formed an undoubted momentum on his body.
After taking a deep breath, when he spoke again, there was already a hint of a somewhat piercing determination in his tone: "My body and mind are already very tired, don't do anything that makes me sad, go ahead." β
"Good...... I'll be back soon......" Chen Jiu finally stopped arguing or anything, and only chose to obey, she seemed to be able to completely cool down her feelings, but in fact, the gloomy look she had just suppressed appeared from the depths of her eyes, which was what made her instantly feel cold.
Tethering Lin Shan's mount to a nearby tree, Chen Jiu mounted his horse and whipped down the hill.
She didn't know when it started, her eyes were full of tears; She didn't know why she had accumulated so many grievances in her heart.
When I was a child, my family was in ruins and I was forced to beg; When he was young, in order to buy medicine for his sick father, he sold himself into the Qinglou for ten taels of silver; Three years ago, he came to the north with his dying life, and waited day and night to serve the decoction...... She didn't have the same tears as she did today.
Maybe it's a horse that doesn't understand the owner's mood when it rushes down a small hill. The animal's temperament was aroused, and the rhythm of the four hooves jumping up and down was a little bigger, so that her tears could be shaken out, right?
So what is the grievance in my heart?
What kind of grievances have you not endured?
Chen Jiu clenched her teeth and pursed her lips, trying to at least restrain her crying, but as the galloping horse leaped high, she could already taste the slightly salty taste of the roots of her teeth.
The cool evening breeze slapped on the face. I rolled up my sleeves and pulled and whirred. He poured it into the sleeve again, rubbing the pain in her body. She was suddenly inexplicably relieved, and no longer deliberately held back the tears in her eyes. She whipped the horse's hips, and she rushed into the wind...... If no one hugs themselves. Just let yourself jump into the wind!
β¦β¦
There may really be such a thing as providence in the world.
If Liao Shi hadn't walked to the end of that dirt road and walked out of the line of sight of Lin Shan; Or rather, if it weren't for the fact that the low mountain range didn't stretch far and stopped the forest cedar from continuing to move forward...... So. When the wheelless, bamboo-woven car appeared in front of him, it was likely that the secret address of Medicine Valley would no longer be hidden.
Horse-drawn carriage without wheels. If it's made of wooden planks, it looks a bit like a coffin.
Thankfully not.
The bamboo pieces that are faintly still the color of green bamboo are tightly woven together, and when you approach this bamboo car, you can vaguely smell the aroma of green bamboo. The nodes on the bamboo slices are staggered. The rattan is passed through the thin seams between the bamboo pieces, and this weaving technique has a staggered beauty. However, the surface environment inside the bamboo car is generally relatively flat. The sharp head and horns overlapping between the bamboo slices are meticulously braided outside.
However, when Yan Xingzhi, who was hurrying side by side with Liao Shi, saw this wheelless bamboo car suddenly "floating" to the ground, he only felt full of surprise. Where is there any leisure to appreciate the wonders of this bamboo car, which is actually very labor-intensive to make.
And when he saw that there were four other car bearers dressed in black, standing like pillars, with very young faces and waist-length silver hair, next to the car, his heart sank uncontrollably. Fortunately, he quickly remembered what Liao Shi had told him just now, and remembered these four ...... It may have been the medicine puppet that calmed his mind a little.
However, although what he saw in front of him was not a ghost, the puppet was first-class, and it was almost like a living dead.
Yan Xingzhi took a closer look at the strange figures and faces of the four cart bearers, and soon noticed their bloodless lips. Their pale cheeks were two pale blue colors, their eyes were wooden, and they could only look at people directly, but their eyes had pupils that seemed to refract a glimmer of light like fireflies. Such faces are lined with their waist-length silver hair...... It's like four geyers that haunt during the day.
The image of the medicine puppet that Liao Shi had just introduced to him was immediately reflected in these four people, although Yan Xingzhi had already learned about this situation first, but when he really saw the appearance of the medicine puppet with his own eyes, he was so shocked that he forgot how to speak for a while.
The medicine puppets didn't give him a chance to speak.
For these medicine puppets, except for Liao Shi and the master in the medicine valley, the others are all aliens.
In the face of aliens, they will become extremely aggressive in an instant.
After just looking at each other, a medicine puppet in the lower right corner of the bamboo slice car seemed to have discovered its prey like a falcon, and its originally slightly dull eyes suddenly became sharp. At the same time, his white hair flew away without the wind, dancing wildly in front of his face, covering his face, and his sleeves, which were longer than the tips of his fingers, also fluttered up with his blade-like body, and instantly swept in front of Yan Xingzhi.
Yan Xingzhi suddenly felt that the white shadow in front of him was sweeping around, as if it was the result of the medicine puppet's face coming up and the silver hair coming in a wind. For just one moment, he felt as if the air in his lungs had been squeezed out of his chest in an instant, and a strong feeling of suffocation hit his brain, and his heart and lungs stopped beating together, and he lost consciousness.
"Help!"
Looking at Yan Xingzhi, who was staggering to the ground, Liao Shi shouted loudly at the medicine puppet who had just flicked his black sleeves and spilled a piece of white powder.
The medicine puppet immediately stretched out another sleeve and stiffened Yan Xingzhi's support.
But for Yan Xingzhi, who had lost his senses, the medicine puppet was just like a tree that would not take the initiative to give any subtle movements, so he only leaned slightly on the canopy of this "tree". The figure was like a garment that had been blown off the clothesline by the wind, and continued to slide down to the ground.
"Hug!"
Liao Shi shouted another word at the medicine puppet.
The medicine puppet stretched out another hand, and the two sides of the arm, which had been covered in long black sleeves and did not even show half of their fingers, formed a half-arc on the left and right, and formed a circle together. The medicine puppet used this still stiff movement to tie Yan Xingzhi's shoulders in the middle, temporarily supporting him from continuing to wither to the ground.
Liao Shi couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. Where is this support, where is the hug? This is similar to tying people with their arms, although Yan Xingzhi did not lie down on the cold ground at this time. But if he still has senses. It doesn't feel very comfortable.
Liao Shi looked at the medicine puppet who was also looking at him blankly, and couldn't help but be annoyed and said, "Remember, see this person." Relax for me! If he's missing a hair, I'll stop you for three days!" β
The medicine puppet with Yan Xingzhi in his arms still motionless, staring at Liao Shi with a slightly dull gaze as usual, compared to the possibility that they couldn't recognize such a long sentence. Indifferent, they are more like dead creatures that have left their souls.
If these medicine puppets could still think, they would be after hearing Liao Shi say this. I will be so frightened that I will kneel down and plead guilty. Puppet people who have become accustomed to being tempered by drugs must take medicinal baths and take a certain dose of medicinal food every day, otherwise they will lose some balance against ordinary people's physique, and the internal circulation will be counter-inflicted damage. Very painful.
However, the four of them were able to be released from the Medicine Valley by the medicine doctor and come to such a far place to pick up Liao Shi back, obviously they were already very successful puppeteers. For their near-demon master. They are obedient and loyal, but for ordinary people. They are puppets, living ghosts with heartbeats and unconscious.
Liao Shi sighed.
Many years ago, he went back to Medicine Valley to dissuade his junior brother from stopping refining medicine puppets, but the puppets who had already been refined couldn't change anything, so they could only stay in Medicine Valley. Since then, Liao Shi and his junior brother agreed to return to the Medicine Valley once a year, and they would be sent off by these puppets all the way, which has been more than 20 years.
His junior brother who was close to the demon didn't know what to think, and he actually used medicine to control the living into this state, saying that they were Gu things, but it was not true, because Gu things couldn't be so perfect.
More than 20 years ago, these puppets were all teenagers in their early tens, and after being washed by the demon's junior brother with various drugs, they became such green-blooded and white-haired weirdos. After more than 20 years of change, the faces of these puppeteers still roughly remain the appearance of young people.
Liao Shi saw the subtle changes of these puppet people with his own eyes, although he was surprised, but he barely got along for more than 20 years, and slowly got used to it.
But in recent years, there have been some special cases on his side, first through Yan Xingzhi's stalking efforts, he couldn't get out, and then Lin Shan's side had an accident, he followed him to the north, and he had to keep Lin Shan's whereabouts secret...... has been involved in all kinds of trivial matters, and I haven't been back for more than four years.
I don't know if the junior brother who is close to the demon in Medicine Valley is anxious and crazy, and what new tricks he has come up with.
However, just looking at the appearance of these four puppet people, although they are dull and wooden, Liao Shi can recognize that these four people are still the original four. It seems that although he has not returned to the Medicine Valley as agreed in recent years, his junior brother is still abiding by the agreement, and there are no new puppets.
Looking at Yan Xingzhi, who seemed to be able to barely stand on the trunk of a tree by a thick rope, Liao Shi grabbed his messy hair and tried to think about some passwords that he hadn't used for more than four years. These puppeteers are not his works, and the passwords to control the puppeteers are also made up by his junior disciples, so once he doesn't use them for a long time, he will be rusty. At this time, it was even more difficult for him to remember these cold and hard passwords than to ask him to recite the full text of the twenty-seven pharmacopoeia of the medicine valley.
After thinking for a long time to no avail, Liao Shi frowned, and then stretched out his hand to point to the bamboo cart without wheels, but he couldn't exhale any words of command in his mouth.
The tightly bound puppeteer's gaze fell on Liao Shi's waving fingers, and his eyes rolled halfway. After standing for a moment, he finally moved, and his two arms, wrapped in long black sleeves, which did not even show half of his fingers, still maintained a circular posture, clamping Yan Xingzhi's shoulders and walking towards the bamboo cart.
When Liao Shi saw this scene, he was slightly happy in his heart, and secretly thought to himself: I haven't been back for a few years, it seems that although the junior brother has not refined a new medicine puppet. But the existing puppeteers have been transformed again. Although the puppeteers are still not as clever as normal people, compared to the stiff appearance before, these puppeteers are not so troublesome to summon now.
Thinking like this in his heart, Liao Shi saw that the puppet man lifted Yan Xingzhi's body up like a wooden stake, and then threw it onto the bamboo cart.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Rao is bamboo car has more elasticity than bamboo board car. It can alleviate the impact trauma caused by such a direct fall on the body. But Liao Shi, who watched this scene, still felt a little painful.
For a moment, he seemed to forget that he was not the one who had fallen.
So he was annoyed again, and he didn't care if the puppeteers could understand it or not. Immediately scolded again: "Bastard! Darn! Can't you see that this is a living person? It's not chopping wood! What should I do if I fall like this?! Darn! β
While scolding this sentence, Liao Shi deeply believed in his heart that he had used this puppet man from the beginning. It seems that a mistake in choice has been made. It is very likely that this puppet man is doing rough work in the medicine valley, and it is common to carry firewood, medicine jars, and stones. So everything seems to him to be this kind of thing.
Liao Shi scolded the bastard a few times in a row, and the puppet people were still indifferent, still standing motionless, looking at Liao Shi with a stiff line of sight. It's as if this can only be their master, and it's just the same thing.
Liao Shi sighed again.
He had never been more irritated than he was when he summoned these puppeteers before. I don't know when he got used to the humble but very intelligent young man next to him. So now he is naturally a little unaccustomed to these puppeteers who can still maintain the face of a teenager.
Jumping on the bamboo car in silence, Liao Shi finally remembered a password. hurriedly shouted: "Sleep! β
Immediately, two puppeteers moved and pulled out two things from the mezzanine at the bottom of the bamboo cart, a stack of quilts and a pillow.
"Up!"
With the most vivid command exhaled, the two puppeteers stepped back, and together with the other two puppeteers, they lifted the four corners of the wheelless bamboo cart, and their bodies jumped to a height of about three feet above the ground like leaves, and began to glide into the distance.
Liao Shi spread the quilt on the bamboo cart and overlapped it so that the quilt could be thicker and softer, and then he moved Yan Xingzhi, who had been drugged and had fallen into a deep coma, to lie down on the quilt, and put the only pillow under his head.
After suffering such a heavy fall, Yan Xingzhi didn't show the slightest sign of waking up, but the bruises on an inch of skin on the side of his face showed that he was thrown into the car by the puppet man, and the fall was really not light.
"It's really ruthless, it's really not human." Liao Shi muttered softly, but he couldn't do anything about those puppeteers. Even if they were to scrape them with a knife, they would not feel the pain. Asking them to die seems to be no different from pulling out a piece of grass.
And Liao Shi actually doesn't move these puppeteers, because these puppets are the works of his junior disciples.
Although the meaning of these works is a bit perverted, it has to be said that the master and disciple have spent a lot of wisdom and energy on these works. If one of these puppeteers was missing from his hands, Liao Shi wasn't sure if he could dissuade his demon-like junior brother from going out of the valley to catch innocent teenagers and replenish the number of puppets.
Giving Yan Xingzhi a comfortable quilt and pillow, Liao Shi sat on the bare bamboo, he originally had a physique with many bones and thin flesh, and he felt a little awkward at first, but when he thought about it for a while and went back to deal with the junior brother who might have been irritable, he gradually forgot about the discomfort of the bumpy car.
After some thought, the result was quickly calculated, but in fact, the method was still the same, two words: fighting medicine.
Compared with fighting in a group, the best way, the most confident and the most willing way for the junior brother to vent is to fiddle with his unparalleled DU medicine that he has always felt is unparalleled in the world.
After thinking about this matter thoroughly, Liao Shi's mind relaxed a little. Taking this small town in the north as the starting point, although the distance back to the Medicine Valley was not the four hundred miles he lied to Lin Shan, it was more than three hundred miles. With the inhuman foot strength of these four puppets, they kept on the road day and night, which took at least two days and two nights on the road. The journey was boring, and Liao Shi naturally remembered the old wine gourd hanging on his waist.
The sealing ability of the old gourd is obviously not as good as that of the clay pot, and the mellow aroma of the old wine has been lingering around him, which is particularly refreshing and tickles people's hearts. Liao Shi felt that if he didn't drink all the wine. Then throw the gourd as far as he can, don't let him smell the aroma again, and he won't want to sleep peacefully tonight or tomorrow night.
Just do it, Liao Shi picked up the gourd, pulled out the wooden stopper, raised his head and swallowed a few mouthfuls.
The aroma of wine became more mellow, and the bamboo cart flew past the four puppeteers. The puppet man in the front left corner actually didn't get the password. glanced back at Liao Shi. When the puppeteer turned around, the four of them lost their balance when they lifted the car, turning Liao Shi upside down.
Liao Shi almost didn't squirt out the wine he had just swallowed. That's why he noticed the puppeteer who looked back at him.
After being stunned, Liao Shi did not get angry again, but had a thought in his heart. Stretched out his hand and patted his forehead and said, "I almost forgot, wine is also a kind of medicine." It's just that...... Could it be that these puppets also eat alcohol? Senior brother, junior brother, I don't know what you have done in the Medicine Valley in the past few years. More than 20 years ago, you just fooled your brother, but don't try that on yourself. People can only prolong their lives, but they cannot truly live forever. No matter how good we are at using medicine, we can't afford that! β
As soon as you tilt your neck, you swallow a few more mouthfuls, and the fifty-year-old precious wine in the old gourd will almost be exhausted. Even if there is, it's just a little wetness at the bottom of the gourd.
ββIf it is the owner of this wine, Chen Jiu will take the old gourd back. With these few drops of wetness at the bottom of the gourd as a blended puree, it is mixed with new wine and sold, which is at least comparable to three years of wine, and makes another profit.
But Liao Shi didn't think about so many ways to make profits, at this time, he just looked at the puppet who turned back as if he was very greedy, and threw the empty gourd out easily.
The purpose of the puppet man's turn back was indeed to target the wine gourd in Liao Shi's hand. Seeing the gourd flying out, the puppeteer immediately flicked his long sleeves and rolled the gourd in front of him and flipped it.
Only a drop of wine fell, exactly on the puppeteer's outstretched tongue.
The puppet man seemed to swallow a mouthful of saliva, and then made a soft sound of "ho ho" in his throat, although it was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger, but it could make a puppet person take the initiative to express his feelings, which showed the power of that drop of old wine.
The puppet man seemed to have a little self-consciousness, and recognized that the old gourd was empty, and he didn't mean to be angry, but he didn't throw away the empty gourd, but held the gourd in his mouth, which looked quite funny.
Seeing this scene, Liao Shile smiled, and suddenly another thought popped up in his heart, and after thinking about it, he was even happier.
If the junior brother really made a wine cellar in the medicine valley, then going back this time would be much more interesting than in previous years.
Haha, when it comes to fighting, he is definitely not as good as me!
Dump him! Then it's convenient to do your own thing.
Liao Shi thought so in his heart, and with the strength of the wine, he laughed and sang:
The rough path begins with a foot,
Old wine tied around the waist;
bareheaded light platform,
Alone in the sky.
β¦β¦
The wheelless bamboo cart was high and low, and quickly traveled through the mountains and forests towards the general direction of the medicine valley. Such a car and such a waiter are too weird, and Liao Shi certainly would not choose to bring such an anomaly to the main road where pedestrians often pass.
However, picking the deep mountains and old forests as the path back to the medicine valley really won't attract attention?
Returning to Medicine Valley in such a low-key way, in the past, Liao Shi had indeed tried many times, and none of them had leaked his whereabouts because of this. But this time today, the road conditions on his way back may have to change a little.
About half an hour ago, the guards in Lin Shan's residence were divided into three groups and scattered to the west, south, and north of the town to find Lin Shan. Because Lin Shan's whereabouts to the town in the north still need to be kept secret, the guards went to the field in civilian clothes to look for it, and they did not call all the way.
Therefore, Liao Shi, who was full of wine and only wanted to return to the medicine valley quickly, did not find that a few people were evacuated in the forest.
When these low-key guards saw the car carried by four white-haired people, they at first thought that they had encountered some strange people in the rivers and lakes, and they didn't plan to cause trouble other than the main business of this trip, so they planned to avoid it.
However, when they smelled the smell of wine, heard the familiar voice, couldn't help but look closely, and quickly saw the old and the young in the car, the guards were all stunned.
"This ...... What is this......"
"Where did those white-haired men come from? Has the old pharmacist been hijacked? Shall we come to his rescue? β
"No, those white-haired people are at the behest of the old medicine man......"
"Those few people seem to be able to fly, is this the power of the rumored Chinese medicine valley heterogeneity?"
ββ¦β¦β
Several guards scattered in the mountains and fields quickly gathered together, looked nervous and spoke very quickly, and it didn't take long for a unanimous decision to be reached.
A guard lifted an iron pipe to the sky. Another guard blew on the fire and lit the half-cut fuse left under the iron pipe.
At this time, the sunset has completely slid down the western sky, but the sky is not completely dark, and this fireworks are used as a communication signal, although the effect cannot be transmitted too far, but it is enough to summon the nearest guards.
Signal fireworks erupt from the iron pipe. Piercing to the zenith. Like a meteor gliding in retrograde.
The wheelless bamboo cart had already left the guards behind for miles with the speed at which it was flying, but when the signal fireworks from an unknown spot in the forest were burning to their brightest. Among the four puppeteers carrying the bamboo cart, the puppeteer in the front right corner suddenly tilted his head.
Although the puppeteers have a wooden expression and have lost their sense of self, this alien state seems to have really given them some alien skills. Silent fireworks, faint light. It pierced their strange nerves.
Seeing this scene out of the corner of his eye, Liao Shi also looked up.
Then he frowned slightly. The comfortable expression when he was singing happily on the wine just now was gone, and one of his hands touched the medicine box resting beside him.
However, his wilted fingers only rubbed twice on the shabby and rough skin of the medicine box, and nothing else moved. Then he released the medicine box again.
"Don't come along." The old medicine man muttered to himself.
After a moment's hesitation, he took out two copper coins from his sleeve and pulled a few threads from his clothes and rubbed them together. The two copper coins were strung together and hung in the corner of the bamboo cart.
The bamboo cart, sometimes high and sometimes low, swayed the two copper coins strung together. Make a crisp copper sound of "ding-ding". Hearing this sound, the four puppeteers carrying the cart seemed to have been suddenly beaten by a galloping horse with several whips, and their bodies jumped faster, and the distance between the jumps and lands was also longer.
The old man in the car had already knocked down his eyelids, relaxed his shoulders and leaned on the railing, as if after this sleep, he would be able to reach the medicine valley.
β¦β¦
As she said before leaving the hill, Chen Jiu quickly rushed back.
It was not because she drove her horse like a fly, from the countryside hill to her residence in the town, and it took less than a moment to go back and forth, but because she met the guards who had come from her own residence to find the forest cedar on the way.
When he saw Jiang Chao, Lin Shan's most relied on guard, Chen Jiu's mood was a little complicated. In her state of mind at this time, she actually wanted to return to her residence slowly, so as to avoid her loss of honor from being seen by others; But at the same time, she was really worried about Lin Shan, who was left alone on the hill, and wanted to find someone to pick him up quickly.
Seeing Chen Jiu riding alone in the suburbs outside the town, even if Jiang Chao didn't get close and saw the remaining tears on her face, just from what he remembered, Chen Jiu disappeared in his residence with Lin Shan, he could probably guess something.
"Sister Wine......" Jiang Chao shouted loudly, and at the same time, the steps under his feet have changed from fast to running. In order to follow Lin Shan's repeated emphasis on keeping a low profile, none of the five guards they came from on horseback, otherwise so many people galloped together on horseback, which was really a very eye-catching thing in this remote and relatively poor town.
When he got closer, there was no suspense, and Jiang Chao had already observed a little tear stain on Chen Jiu's face. However, according to these tears, the guard Jiang Chao could only think that it was likely that something had happened to Lin Shan, and it was difficult to grasp Chen Jiu's true state of mind.
"Is it an adult, he ......," Jiang Chao asked implicitly.
"I was going to look for you." Chen Jiu didn't wait to stop the gallop under his seat, but turned his arm to the side, lifted the reins and turned the horse, "Come with me!" β
Jiang Chao didn't say much, but quickened his pace again, running behind Chen Jiu's horse.
By the time Chen Jiu returned to the position on the hill where a horse was tied to the nameless guard, Lin Shan, who had been able to sit up before, was already lying on the ground with his head tilted. Jiang Chao walked to Lin Shan's side and squatted down, he felt that his breathing was a little low, and he subconsciously called a few times, but he didn't see any signs of waking up.
"What's wrong, my lord?" Jiang Chao asked from instinctive Chao Chenjiu.
"Drunk." Chen Jiu replied very directly, directly omitting some explanations that should be regarded as facts, "Send him back first, and then find a way to sober up." β
Of course, Jiang Chao knew that Lin Shan and Liao Shi had dinner at the same table in the afternoon, which was really practiced. At that time, Chen Jiu was also present, and with Chen Jiu's best wine-making skills, it was inevitable to invite Liao Shi to drink a pot of fine wine. But he really couldn't understand how Chen Jiu didn't dissuade Lin Shan from drinking, she didn't know the physical condition of adults, and the injury to drinking was several times that of ordinary people! ββ
(To be continued)
