Chapter 242 Khitan Girl

In the middle of the afternoon, the sky cleared, and the thin daylight filled the courtyard through the overlapping clouds.

Ling Qingyun and Shi Ting were talking in the room, and Lian Sheng sat on the side, guarding them.

Shi Ting didn't have any pain today, but it was very cold, and he couldn't warm it up.

The afternoon passed very quickly, but after a moment's effort, it was already dusk. Outside the curtain of silver-red thick tassels, the sun on half of the trees is like brocade. The sunset shrouded the courtyard with golden light, and the branches approved a golden coat, which was gorgeous and gorgeous.

"Send some men to guard this courtyard!" Ling Qingyun saw that the hour was not early, it was time to get up and go home, and told Shi Ting again.

She felt that Shi Ting was too confident.

If this yard is not guarded, what should I do next time someone comes in? Ling Qingyun didn't dare to imagine it.

"Hmm." Shi Ting lazily answered, his eyes were half-drooping, and he looked like he was about to fall asleep, his voice was soft and weak.

"I'll come back to see you tomorrow." Ling Qingyun said.

Shi Ting immediately opened his eyes and said, "If you dare to bring me medicine like a poisonous scorpion again, I will be ruthless!" ”

In the past few days, Ling Qingyun has rummaged through ancient medical books, looking for a prescription to save Shiting. She turned over a prescription yesterday, saying that the two taels of poisonous whole scorpions were ground and crushed, and there was no need to decoction soup, but they were directly mixed in rice and swallowed, which could treat emotional pain.

The whole scorpion does have the effect of channeling and relieving pain, but Shi Ting's disease is completely useless, and it is disgusting.

Ling Qingyun coaxed him for a long time before he ate the whole scorpion.

It's still uncomfortable in my stomach right now. At that time, Ling Qingyun coaxed Shiting to eat, and An Wei sat aside. Indifferent, Shi Ting was angry, and these two people teamed up to bully him!

"Okay, don't bring it." Ling Qingyun is as good as a stream.

These days, Shi Ting is still quite optimistic, as long as he has three points of spirit, he will hold up seven or eight points, be funny with Ling Qingyun, and even say some love words to Ling Qingyun, deliberately angry.

An Wei would give him a cold look. Then continue to pretend that you can't hear.

But Ling Qingyun understood. Shi Ting is living this time as his last days.

Shi Ting no longer had hope for his illness, and he saw everything very openly.

His heart relaxed, and his feelings improved a lot.

"Let's go back." Shi Ting glanced out the window. The bright red sunset fell on the house. It seems that the flowers are blooming gorgeously. It's a bit bustling and lively.

Shi Ting was in a good mood.

He was waiting for death, and in the process of waiting, there was no point in qiē. However. A lot of small things, but also very meaningful, those who have not usually paid attention to the grass and trees, the beauty smiled and smiled, all of which came into the eyes of the stone garden.

For example, this sunset, Shi Ting felt magnificent and charming for the first time.

Shi Ting was in a good mood and said to Ling Qingyun: "It's about to be the New Year, you don't have to come over, otherwise your family won't be able to explain." If you find an ancient prescription, just send someone to bring it. ”

"I'm measured, you don't have to worry." Ling Qingyun said.

Shi Ting felt that she had no sense of proportion.

If she had been measured, she wouldn't have stayed here every day these days and wouldn't have returned home.

Shi Ting didn't bother to say anything.

After Ling Qingyun went home, she had been a little silent, and she seemed to be in deep thought. Thinking about too many things, it made her look in a trance, and she didn't even hear her eldest brother call her.

"Wan'er?" Eventually, the eldest brother tapped her lightly on the head.

Only then did Ling Qingyun notice her brother standing behind her, and called out to her eldest brother with a smile: "Come back so early today?" ”

Ling Qingcheng nodded and said with a smile: "It's almost the New Year, everything I should prepare is ready, so come back early." ”

Ling Qingyun shook his head.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, my mother said that you have been busy lately, what are you busy with?" Ling Qingcheng asked her.

His tone was very casual, but after asking, he immediately stared at Ling Qingyun with blazing eyes, as if he wanted to find clues from her face.

"Not busy with anything." Ling Qingyun said, her expression slightly gloomy.

Ling Qingcheng glanced at her a few times, and saw that she didn't seem to be planning to explain, and didn't know what she meant, Xiaoxiao no longer asked this question, but changed the topic: "Mother said, do you not agree with Rui Niang's matter?" ”

Ling Qingyun hummed noncommittally, not wanting to talk more.

Ling Qingcheng pondered for a moment and said, "Speaking seriously, I don't think it's very proper. Rui Niang, she is not a child raised in our family after all."

He felt that Rui Niang's identity was too suspicious, and it was not suitable to push Rui Niang to the forefront.

With the status of Anxiao's father and son, it is easy to cover up Rui Niang's identity. It's a pity that none of the people who have served Rui Niang can stay, and they will die when the time comes, which is why Ling Qingcheng will not be forbearing.

"These don't matter, as long as they want Rui Niang to enter the palace, they can naturally cover it up." Ling Qingyun said lightly, with a little mockery in her tone.

Obviously, after entering the palace, he was extremely wealthy, and it was a good thing that the ancestral tomb was smoking, how did it come to Ling Qingyun's mouth and become like the Ling family selling their daughter?

Ling Qingcheng didn't quite understand either.

"You and the fourth brother have the same tone." Ling Qingcheng said helplessly.

The two of them went to the main courtyard, ready to go to greet Jing's family, and then met Ling Qingtong on the way.

Ling Qingtong, as usual, never touched his home and ran around.

"Second sister!" Ling Qingtong caught up with Ling Qingyun and Ling Qingcheng, and then secretly grabbed Ling Qingyun's arm, as if he wanted to say something to her alone.

The eldest brother smiled and said, "You two are mysterious and secretive, and you are still hiding it from me?" Having said that, the eldest brother did not embarrass them, and continued to walk on, going to his mother's yard.

The eldest brother is always like a kind elder, giving his understanding to his younger siblings and pampering them very much.

"What's wrong?" When the eldest brother walked away, Ling Qingyun asked the fourth brother.

Ling Qingtong looked anxious, looked at the people around him, no one noticed him, so he whispered to Ling Qingyun: "Second sister, you take your medical practice box and go out with me, okay?" ”

It was getting late, the sunset had already dispersed, and the courtyard was shrouded in night, and the dim light of the lanterns covered them.

Ling Qingyun hesitated for a moment and said, "It's so late."

"Second sister. Please! Ling Qingtong said hurriedly, "If you don't leave, the door will be closed, and we won't be able to get out." ”

The winter night came relatively early, and it was dark before the change, so there was no curfew in the city, and it was still too late to go out.

Ling Qingtong said the word "begging", which made Ling Qingyun's heart melt at once, and immediately said, "Okay, you wait for me." ”

She immediately went back and carried out Shi Ting's medical box.

Ling Qingyun asked the little girl to leave a message for Jing's, and went out with Ling Qingtong.

The carriage was already waiting at the door.

The coachman drives. There were no maids and maids to follow. Head straight south.

"Now you can sue me, who is sick?" Ling Qingyun asked Ling Qingtong, "I'm all here, can't I know yet?" ”

"It's a friend of mine." Ling Qingtong said.

"What friend?" Ling Qingyun asked again.

It should be a friend from a past life. and not in this life. In addition to Ling Qingtong at home. Nobody knows.

"You'll know when you see it." Ling Qingtong said.

There was a pause. He added, "She has a high fever and won't let her go to the doctor." I have to beg you."

Ling Qingyun nodded.

She didn't ask who it was.

The carriage went all the way south, and it was almost near Zhaochifang, and then it slowly stopped.

Ling Qingtong said to the coachman: "You go to the old mansion, and come here to pick us up when you come back." ”

"Fourth young master, this black light is blinding, I'm afraid it's not right? The villain can't explain to his wife when he goes back. "The driver was a little timid.

Ling Qingtong took out a silver bill, about two taels, and gave it to the coachman, saying, "It's cold, you go to Zhaochifang to buy some wine to eat." When Mrs. Hui asked, she said that we had arrived at the old house. ”

The coachman was a bit of a drunkard.

He hesitated and glanced at Ling Qingyun.

Ling Qingyun also said, "You take it!" ”

The coachman hurriedly picked it up, thanked Ling Qingtong happily, and then drove away.

It was already completely dark.

At the end of the month, there is no moonlight, and the blue sky is full of stars, like countless pearls on a black velvet plate, which is full of brilliance.

It wasn't until the coachman disappeared from sight that Ling Qingtong pulled Ling Qingyun, and the sister and brother groped forward along the root of the fang wall.

Although it was dark everywhere, my vision was adjusted to the rich black, and I could barely see the road clearly.

"How much longer?" Ling Qingyun asked Ling Qingtong quietly.

Ling Qingtong shushed and motioned for Ling Qingyun not to speak and continue to walk forward.

The cold was surging, and Ling Qingyun's hands were exposed, already frozen. She almost fell several times, but Ling Qingtong supported her.

This is only two streets away from Zhaochifang, Ling Qingtong is very familiar with it, and even where there are potholes, he knows it.

They had rounded two streets, and then the bell of the curfew rang and the doors had been closed.

Ling Qingtong took Ling Qingyun and went around to the backyard of a fang wall.

There was a small hole, hidden in the grove of low holly trees. When opened, it is large enough to accommodate a petite woman and a child.

Ling Qingtong climbed in first, followed by Ling Qingyun.

After climbing in, Ling Qingtong found that what they came out of was not on the street in the fang, but in a backyard.

"This is a nunnery, the nuns fled when it was haunted last year, and now it is deserted." Ling Qingtong whispered to Ling Qingyun.

As soon as he said this, Ling Qingyun was terrified, grabbed his hand tightly, and said, "You dead child, you brought me to the haunted abandoned nunnery in the middle of the night to scare me to death!" ”

Ling Qingtong smiled.

He led Ling Qingyun to a house.

Lighting a lone lamp, Ling Qingtong covered it with an oily lampshade to hide the light as much as possible.

This is the firewood house.

In the western corner of the firewood room, there were many old mattresses.

Ling Qingtong opened those mattresses, and there was a person lying inside. Ling Qingyun looked at it fixedly, and it turned out to be a woman.

She was taken aback.

This is a woman older than Ling Qingyun, about twenty-four or five years old, with a rich green hair, all scattered at this moment. This woman has deep eyes and a high nose, and she doesn't quite look like a person from the Central Plains.

The woman seemed to be badly wounded, had a fever, her cheeks were flushed, and her lips were pale.

She muttered to herself, as if she was saying something.

Ling Qingyun listened to it and was immediately shocked.

This is not the official dialect or dialect of the Central Plains, but the Khitan language: this unconscious girl, after a high fever, dreamed of her grandmother.

She said, "Grandma, I'm thirsty"
