Chapter 14: Promises
The morning light came as always, the morning fog in the valley was very thick, with a thick humidity, but also with a hint of coldness, the birds always got up early, the sound of chirping came from all directions, always felt a little festive, as if the grand welcome ceremony of last night had not yet ended, and at this time the instruments began to play.
Carefully took the prescription handed over by Bai Changlin, the thin piece of paper was so heavy that Qiao Yue's breathing was a little heavier, Qiao Yue's face was very strict, of course, it was also very serious, this atmosphere seemed to be infected by Bai Changlin, unusually strict.
Actually, Qiao Yue also likes this atmosphere, quiet, but there is an indescribable persistence and seriousness, that is because of firm belief, so Qiao Yue is very serious.
"This is a promise, my promise to you for this respectable love."
Qiao Yue stared at Bai Changlin in front of her, and said in her heart, when she was serious, Qiao Yue never liked to say it clearly, because she always felt that after saying this kind of thing, it would be worthless, it would be blown away by the wind, and it would be forgotten by time, and serious words should be deeply engraved in her heart.
In fact, she is more concerned about curing the illness of the woman in the house than for her own detoxification, after all, their stay together should get the result of growing old, providence, and should not let this sincere love die in bitter tears, because they should have a good result.
The woman did not know when she had walked through the middle courtyard, and her vain footsteps did not make a sound, and her breasts rose and fell violently, as if she had been chased out.
She clutched a piece of black jade in her hand, which was a little large. Even if you pinch it in your hand, you can see the smooth jade.
Her knuckles were a little white because of the exertion, her cheeks were a little red from the violent panting, the incendiary eyelashes, and the reluctant eyes all showed that the jade in her hand was at least something very important to her.
Qiao Yue didn't understand why she chased her out, Bai Changlin held her up early in the morning, and his gentle eyes were a little dissatisfied: "Be careful, the threshold of the gate is a little high, and the ladder outside is a little steep." It's such a big person. Why are you still so reckless. ”
The woman smiled, as if she enjoyed Bai Changlin saying this, and her godless eyes had the delicate appearance of a little girl, in short. This is the accusation of happiness.
Turned. Pulled out of Bai Changlin's complaining gaze. She handed the black jade in her hand to Qiao Yue very preciously, her half-smiling face looked very polite, and she said, "The guest is leaving." As the wife of the main family, it should be sent, this is the number of gifts! ”
"Etiquette? Just because this is a courtesy, do you have to get up to see me off even if you are lying in bed? ”
Qiao Yue's heart trembled slightly, she didn't think this woman was funny, she had never felt funny, even last night when she saw the scene where the husband and wife always had to salute each other no matter what they did.
Because of their seriousness and sincerity, it shows that they are cherishing this most serious love.
"It's... Matters to you, right? ”
Qiao Yue subconsciously took the black jade handed over by the woman, she didn't shirk it, because she promised in her heart that she would bring her medicine back, so that she could return this piece of black jade when she came back next time.
The woman still had that warm smile: "Take it, I have something to ask the eldest lady for help." ”
"You say..."
Qiao Yue was very direct, trying to let the woman say less, she didn't ask if this piece of jade was the reward for helping with errands.
She said: "The eldest lady went to the capital, remember to help me go to the foot of Ciyun Mountain to see my sister, and then tell her that I am doing well and living very happily, Changlin loves me very much, so let her not worry..."
"Tsz Yun Mountain?"
Qiao Yue glanced back at Jiang Hong and asked him if he knew where he was in the capital, because he had heard that the capital was very big since he was a child.
Jiang Hong was nodding, and the woman continued to say with a look of reminiscence: "There is also the Wu family in Luohong Mountain, there is a very big peach tree on the back hill of his yard, and the peach blossoms are red and bright at the beginning of spring, just like a colorful glow on the horizon, I remember it very beautiful, but it is a memory from a long time ago, if the eldest lady is free, wait until the spring of next year, by the way, help me take a look, and then go to the foot of Ciyun Mountain to tell my sister after reading it, she will be very happy to hear it..."
After two endless sentences, Qiao Yue was puzzled again, and it was not wrong to tell her sister that she was doing well, but why did she give this piece of jade, obviously she was in the capital, why did she ask her to go and tell her after going to see it, why couldn't she go to see it herself, could it be that there was a problem with her eyes?
Thinking of this, Qiao Yue couldn't help but show pity on her face, what a pitiful two sisters, the elder sister is seriously ill, the younger sister is blind again, God is really cruel, is it jealous of all the good things in the world? So it's going to make them all imperfect.
She said: "Madame, don't worry, I promise you, I will bring your words to her, and I will definitely go to see the peach blossoms for her!" I'll tell her how beautiful the peach blossoms are. ”
Seeing the woman's expression of gratitude, this matter should be something she has been thinking about in her heart, she can't go out of the mountain, and she can't get out of the mountain, so she can only put this matter on Qiao Yue.
Qiao Yue turned around, as if there were still the most important things to ask, she said, "She... What's her name? ”
Yes, this matter must be asked clearly, otherwise you won't find out who her sister is when you go.
The woman replied, "Ah Xuan, her name is Ah Xuan..."
At this point, the woman's voice was weak and tired.
"Ah Xuan..."Qiao Yue repeated, "What a beautiful name!" ”
The woman coughed: "Well, it's beautiful, she's really beautiful..."
I don't know if it's the name is beautiful or the person is beautiful, anyway, she didn't continue, she gave Qiao Yue a deep salute, glanced at Bai Changlin tiredly, and motioned for him to take her back to the house.
It was originally a matter of the way, because to find medicine, all the capitals were always going to go.
But in the end, they are still separated, separated from this magical Tibetan medicine village, but Qiao Yue will remember this awe-inspiring couple in the mountains, or eternal lovers.
Staring at the departing Bai Changlin, the sky was already dawning. The fog was billowing, and he and she had already disappeared into the fog after walking a few steps, and there was no need to say anything else, she didn't need him to send it, because the people of the village had already found the trail and began to walk towards it.
Turning around, he pulled Liu Xing towards the stone path outside the village, it was indeed worth the trip, seeing the sincere and simple faces, Qiao Yue suddenly felt that her guess last night was very ridiculous, they really had no malice from beginning to end.
Hou Ye?
My dad?
Qiao Yue sneered in her heart. Whose word is true. It doesn't seem to matter if anyone's words are false or not, the important thing is that he is a child that no one wants, and if he really is, he must ask him why he discarded himself. Or maybe they never came to her.
Qiao Yue was a little distracted. She knew the heat in the eyes of the villagers. Jiang Hong's appearance may have caused them to misunderstand something, they thought that Jiang Hong had come out of the mountain because of himself, and thought that he had also brought them a reason to go out of the mountain.
Bai Changlin had already told her about this. Therefore, Qiao Yue felt very sorry.
Facing these pair of burning eyes, Qiao Yue said respectfully: "I'm sorry, I disappointed you!" ”
Yes, Qiao Yue was very respectful, trying her best to learn from Bai Changlin's appearance, so that this qiē became very polite, because she still didn't give them a reason to go out of the mountain, so this sorry was what she should say.
Lei Peng didn't seem to be disappointed at all, he said: "It's okay, eldest lady, thank you for coming to see us, we are really good, what I said yesterday I hope you will definitely bring to Hou Ye, it really doesn't matter if you can't get out of the mountain, the important thing is to let Hou Ye know that we are really doing well..."
Qiao Yue didn't understand what kind of agreement this was, so many people who guarded together, but Qiao Yue knew that these were all respectable people.
Therefore, she bowed respectfully again and said seriously: "I promise you, I will definitely bring your words to Feng Chun..."
Yes, she was talking about Feng Chun, not her father, because it had always been a name that was too strange to be unfamiliar, because she had never heard of such a person even in her dreams.
The scene was even grander than when it came, with thousands of people lined up on both sides, greeted and sent, and the village was never short of courtesy.
The two sturdy sika deer don't know when they have been led to the valley, and their strong limbs make people feel that they always have inexhaustible strength.
The mountain gradually faded away, and the crowd of people who were expecting and reluctant disappeared from sight, and then all the voices were drowned in the depths of the vast mountain, no matter how Qiao Yue turned around, only the black jade in her hand told her again, there are really people in the depths of such a mountain, and there are quite a few, they say that there are as many as 100,000, of course, that is the sum of the number of people in the entire Dashun Dynasty.
Jiang Hong walked in front, his eager smile had already expressed all the happiness in his heart at the moment, he was laughing, he had been smiling since he came out of the valley, and he was still looking at Qiao Yue from time to time.
This made Qiao Yue really embarrassed, I really don't know what this old mute is laughing at, obviously he almost killed him last night, but he is still happy to be like this today.
There was a loud crane chirp in the sky, Liu Xing looked up, and immediately danced with her hands: "Sister, it's a white cat, the white cat is here..."
The white cat is the name that Liu Xing specially gave to the big white crane, with a bit of naughty, Qiao Yue also thinks this name is very good, so she likes Liu Xing to call it that.
said it was calm, but in fact, Qiao Yue's heart had never calmed down, Feng Chun? Is he really my dad? He can make 100,000 troops disappear into the mountains with a single sentence, such a big power, but why doesn't she want herself, the eldest brother will definitely not lie to me, what kind of story is there.
Thinking of this, her hand unconsciously clenched the black jade in her hand, and with her promise, she promised her promise, the promise to more than a thousand villagers in this valley, and of course, the most important thing was the promise to Bai Changlin and his wife.
She thought that she had solemnly put away the black jade, and with the help of the sika deer, it was naturally much faster when she went out of the mountain than when she entered the mountain.
The flock of cranes on his head didn't know when they disappeared, in short, Qiao Yue didn't see them again when he walked out of the mountain.
Geng Huyuan's hair was a little wet, and he was sitting on the wheel of the car with cold and hard steamed buns, it seemed that even if Qiao Yue was no longer yesterday, he didn't dare to go to the carriage to rest, which made Qiao Yue's heart a little pantothenic, and he always felt that Geng Huyuan was also the same as the group of villagers in the mountains, maybe he asked him to go to the mountains and not come out, he would really go.
"Let's go! Let's go to the capital! ”
Coming out of the mountain road, Qiao Yue said softly, without waiting for Geng Huyuan to put a stool on her to get into the car, Qiao Yue pulled Liu Xing and stepped on it.
The voice was very firm, this was the first time that Qiao Yue had clearly explained where they were going since she came ashore from the Heavenly Axe Pier, which made Geng Huyuan a little unresponsive for a while.
The cold and hard steamed buns were wrapped in kraft paper, and although he saw Qiao Yue's mood in his eyes as if it was much better than when he entered the mountain, he didn't dare to ask more, just do his part.
With a pull on the reins, the feeble whip gently slapped on the horse's back, and the old horse of the trailer walked forward with its hooves.
With the goal, it is naturally much easier for Geng Huyuan, and when the evening is approaching, when the sun sets, he walks through the boundary of Hezhou and enters the first city in Hanzhou, called Liuye City.
There are really a lot of willow trees in Willow Leaf City, and when I was far away, I saw that the willow trees on both sides of the river were so green that they covered the river.
It is the height of summer, the wind is a little strong, but the weather is still so hot and dry, as the border city of Hanzhou, in addition to the willow tree a lot, in fact, there is really no characteristic, there are not many people who come and go to see the tree, at this time in the past, the officers and soldiers who were guarding the city have already fallen asleep, as the saying goes, the summer heat is just sleeping, this is the truth.
Liuye City has never been a frontier city, nor is it a necessary place for soldiers, so no one cares about the city defense here.
But today, there is a strange abnormality, not that there are many more pedestrians passing by, nor that there are any mountain bandits who want to rob, but that at least fifty percent of the rich merchants in the entire Willow Leaf City are waiting here early, there are the largest medicine merchants, porcelain merchants, calligraphy and painting merchants, of course, cloth merchants, grain merchants, and the most rare thing is that they are all behind-the-scenes bosses who have never seen before, and they are all legendary characters.
I have been waiting here since noon when the sun was at its highest, and I have been standing until the sun is setting, and the small city gate has long been blocked by these people.
When the sun was about to set, one of the centurions guarding the city came over and asked carefully: "When will the city gate be closed when it gets dark?" ”
When the first merchant with a small abacus in his hand and a rich man replied: "Wait, we will not be embarrassed, my lord, when it gets dark, we will naturally leave." ”
The guy with healthy legs ran over from behind: "Master, the banquet has been prepared, when will the guests arrive?" ”
The businessman with the small abacus in his hand was dissatisfied, and slapped the little guy hard: "What guest, it's Miss, talk nonsense, discount your legs, from today on, don't call me master, call me business steward..."
While he was talking, a man next to the crowd pointed to the end of the sunset and said, "Here, there's a carriage over there........."
