Chapter Ninety-Two: Life and Death Are Dead
"There's movement! Quick, pull it up! โ
On the blood-swept mountain road, several burly men were pulling the ropes that lowered the cliff under the command of the county order.
After a lot of effort, several people finally pulled up the man who had gone down to the cliff, and the man with purple lips and sweaty face knelt on the snow as soon as he came up, and took the wine gourd handed by his companion and poured a sip of spirits fiercely.
"No, my lord, the cliffs are frozen, slippery and difficult to climb, and I can't go down at all!"
The pale-faced county magistrate leaned on the edge of the cliff and looked at the bottomless cliff, and he couldn't bear to blame this wolf bรจi man for anything; Twisting his brow sharply, he ran to the carriage not far away and replied cautiously.
"Lord Wang, your subordinates are incompetent! After the blizzard, the cliff walls were full of ice, and our people couldn't go down to the bottom of the cliff."
"What?!"
Suddenly, the curtain on the carriage was lifted, revealing a bloodless face. Zhao Zhenyuan covered his shoulder blades, which were still in pain, his pale lips were already cracked, and he kept coughing; And a servant girl with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes knelt beside Zhao Zhenyuan, carefully supporting his weak body, not daring to say more.
"Lord forgive your sins! It's the incompetence of the lower officials."
Seeing that Zhao Zhenyuan was really angry, the county commander hurriedly knelt in the snow and trembled and confessed. Three days is already the limit of Zhao Zhenyuan's patience in the carriage, and at this time, the county order asked for the guilt and said that there was nothing to be done, it was better to show that his ability was limited at the beginning, maybe the situation would not be so embarrassing.
"Liu Yuan, you don't want the black gauze hat on your head!! This king can't control you so helplessly, keep looking! To live to see people, to die to see corpses! โ
Under the anger in his heart, Zhao Zhenyuan on the carriage coughed even more, and the maid on the side hurriedly patted Zhao Zhenyuan's violently undulating back, and there was a trace of panic in her eyebrows and eyes; And Liu Yuan, who was kneeling tightly in the snow, buried his head lower tremblingly.
"But the prince has been three days, even if Miss Zhu is blessed, she can't stand the bitter cold at the bottom of the cliff."
"Shut up!"
These words seemed to be more turbulent than the pain in his shoulder blade, and Zhao Zhenyuan immediately angrily reprimanded Liu Yuan's prevarication and refuted him fiercely.
"Zhu Xi Shifu has a great life, and he will not die so lightly! Look, no matter what method you use, as long as you can find her, this king will definitely be rewarded! โ
There are many rewards, which sounds so tempting, but Liu Yuan still knelt in the snow without moving, refusing to get up and accept his life.
"I hope the prince thinks twice! Now that the snow is covering the mountain, the exits to the bottom of the cliff have been blocked, and it is impossible to enter at all! Miss Zhu's life is of course important, but Lord Wang, those errand servants who venture down the cliff are also living human lives. Ask the prince to be magnanimous, don't embarrass them anymore! The subordinates of the lower officials have been working tirelessly on the edge of the cliff for three days to find a way to rescue, but if it continues like this, something will definitely happen! The lower officials and the parents of the officials, how can they see them die in vain"
Liu Yuan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, and immediately shocked Zhao Zhenyuan, who was in chaos, and looked up at the few cold and shivering servants on the edge of the cliff, and his panicked heart was suddenly stabbed fiercely, and he hung his head in an instant, speechless and choked.
How much he hoped that Zhu Xishi would survive, but now Zhao Zhenyuan woke up to how slim such hope was Tears the size of beans dripped on the board of the car in Zhao Zhenyuan's drooping eyes, making a trembling sound.
In the past, I, Zhao Zhenyuan, have never owed anyone in my life, but I only owe you the most, my life, your life
Lotus Flower Village, fifty miles away from Ande Town, is immersed in a peaceful atmosphere.
"Water Water"
"Doctor Shan! She's awake, she's awake! Hurry up and take a look. โ
Aunt Niu, who was wiping her sweat for Zhu Xishi, who was unconscious on the kang, was also startled when she suddenly heard her say something in a daze! With his voice in his voice, he hurried out of the back room and shouted loudly.
At this time, on the opposite side of the window lattice, a man with a delicate face was carefully distinguishing the medicinal materials in his hand, and suddenly heard Aunt Niu shouting, and he also looked out of the window in shock.
"Doctor Sheng, come quickly, that girl seems to be conscious!"
"Really?"
The man, who was called "Doctor Sheng" by Aunt Niu, immediately put down the medicinal herbs in his hand, got up from the seat in surprise, and hurriedly went out of the house to meet Aunt Niu.
"Don't panic, Auntie, I'll go and see the girl."
There was a kind of healer's composure and confidence on the face of this young boy, he was not impatient, but a beautiful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he walked quickly into the next room.
Carefully cutting through Zhu Xi's pulse, and examining the wounds on her body, the smile on the young man's face became brighter and brighter.
"This fat girl is really fateful, and she actually survived from the ghost gate. Rest assured, Aunt Niu, her high fever has subsided, indicating that the inflammation of the wound has improved; As long as you take good care of it these days, you should be fine. โ
Aunt Niu patted her chest, and it seemed that her heart had settled down a lot, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"This girl is really blessed, not to mention being stabbed more than a dozen times, she has been soaked in ice water for so long, it's a miracle that she survived!"
"She's lucky. Fortunately, this girl is fat, and although the dozen or so knives are ruthless, they were blocked by her fat, and they did not hurt her internal organs. It's just that I've been soaking in ice water for too long, so the injury looks a little more dangerous. โ
Aunt Niu, who seemed to understand whether she understood or not, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Zhu Xi who was asleep on the kang, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.
"I don't know what kind of vicious person this girl has encountered, and she is so ruthless, which makes people feel frightened when they look at it."
"Aunt Niu, don't guess. When she woke up and asked, she understood everything. The young man said a word, picked up the wound medicine on the side of the kang again, and continued helplessly: "The 'Sanqing Soul Rejuvenation Pill' I brought is not much, it seems that I have to bother to find another healing elixir for her." โ
The handsome young man in his twenties in front of him is called Sheng Zijun, who is a close disciple of the "ghost doctor" Baili Sheng, and he has excellent medical skills in Qi Huang. This time, I came out of my hometown of Yangzhou and traveled alone to the north and south of the river, in order to find all kinds of exotic flowers and herbs and prepare a panacea for saving lives and helping the wounded.
I heard that near Ande Town, a spiritual creature called "Snow Clam" was produced, and Sheng Zijun was attracted by it. The snow clam oil extracted from the snow clam has the miraculous effect of rejuvenating the skin and muscles; So Sheng Zijun came down at the foot of the lotus flower village, treating Aunt Niu's daughter for epilepsy, and looking for traces of the spiritual object "snow clam".
According to the treasure book of Sheng Zijun's master Baili Sheng, snow clams usually lie dormant in mountain cols, and only in severe cold weather will they show their traces and come out to feed. Three days ago, as soon as the snowstorm stopped, Sheng Zijun asked Uncle Niu to take him into the valley to look for snow clams; I didn't want the snow clam to be found, but I rescued a dying fat woman by the stream, which was a bit of a surprise.
He and Uncle Niu took a lot of effort to carry this fat woman back to Lotus Village, thinking of the sins suffered along the way, Sheng Zijun's feet are now a little trembling!
This fat girl is so heavy that she can't say anything!!
