Chapter 49: Into the Mountain
"Old lady, you are also tired for a day, rest early, there are slaves and maids watching, it will be fine. Don't miss her body is not well, your side is about to collapse, and when the time comes, who will be able to protect Miss? ”
The old lady watched Ran Qiunian for a while, and then under the constant persuasion of Ginkgo and Qingxi, she slept in the side room that was cleaned up next to her. The old man's body was indeed stretched to the limit, and he had just laid down and fell asleep deeply.
Xiao Yin has always sent people to protect Ran Qiunian's safety in the dark, and he received a message as soon as Ran Qiunian had an accident.
Originally, I received a letter from Ran Qiunian yesterday, and I was planning to go to the summer resort to see her in the next two days, but now I couldn't wait for a moment, so I left what I was doing and rushed to the summer resort.
By the time Xiao Yin arrived at the villa, it was already twilight and starry night. The old lady had already fallen asleep, Xiao Yin handed over the horse to the little man guarding the door, and those people naturally recognized Xiao Yin, the young master of the Ran family, and let him go directly.
It was late at night, Xiao Yin didn't let the messenger alarm the old lady, he quietly entered the courtyard, and without waiting for him to go back to his house to repair it, he went directly to Ran Qiunian's house.
Qingxi was guarding Ran Qiunian's side, leaning on the ground next to the bed with her chin on her legs, forcibly preventing herself from sleeping, and checking Ran Qiunian's condition from time to time.
The sound of Xiao Yin walking into the house directly alarmed Qingxi, who was sitting on the side, and when she saw that the person was the eldest young master who should have been far away in the mansion, her heart, which was still a little uneasy, instantly fell back to reality.
"Young Master, why are you here?"
Qingxi lowered his voice and asked in a low voice, but looking at Xiao Yin's dusty appearance, he could guess a little. The eldest young master must have rushed over after receiving the news, and came to visit the poisoned young lady as soon as possible.
"How's Nian'er?"
Xiao Yin asked about Ran Qiunian's condition with a calm face, although the tone of his voice was still so cold and indifferent, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes that could not be concealed.
"The fresh snake gall bladder for detoxification has not been found, and Dr. Chang said that if the snake gall bladder of the golden spotted snake cannot be found within three days, Miss will be in danger."
Qingxi choked up, but looked at Xiao Yin with hope, hoping that the sudden appearance of Xiao Yin could bring some turnaround.
"I know, you take care of Nian'er, snake gall bladder, I'll find a way."
Xiao Yin looked at Ran Qiunian, who was lying on the bed and his breath was getting weaker and weaker, and took out a box from his arms.
It was the best Qi Nourishing Pill that he asked Ran Qiubai, who was out of business, to find for him that day, which was used to regulate internal breath and treat internal injuries, but at this time, he did not hesitate to feed Ran Qiunian this Qi Nourishing Pill.
If a person who knows the goods sees it, he is afraid that he will shout out that he will destroy the heavens, and the Qi Nourishing Pill is a treasure that is hard to find in the treatment of internal injuries, but it can be fed to ordinary people, and it can only play a role in strengthening the body and nourishing the vitality.
After Ran Qiunian was poisoned, if she didn't eat or drink, it would inevitably wear and tear her body, and the Qi Nourishing Pill was used here to ensure that she didn't fall into the root of the disease after detoxification, and it was better than any other decoction, and there would be no side effects. For this, Xiao Yin also felt that it was worth it.
Qingxi is naturally not the person who knows the goods, she saw what medicine Xiao Yin fed Ran Qiunian, and immediately looked at her young lady nervously: "What did the eldest young master eat for the young lady?" ”
"Nourish your vitality, don't worry."
For the sake of Qingxi who has been serving Ran Qiunian with all his heart, Xiao Yin gave an explanation.
When Qingxi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that with the care shown by the eldest young master for Miss, he would never harm Miss, and saw that Ran Qiunian did look a lot better after eating that pill, so he didn't say anything more.
"Is the eldest young master leaving?"
After watching Xiao Yin finish speaking, he got up and walked out, Qingxi hurriedly got up to see him off, but Xiao Yin didn't say anything more this time, and left Ran Qiunian's courtyard in the night.
After Xiao Yin left, he didn't go back to his house directly, but left the summer resort directly, with a few fire folds, and plunged into the dark mountain forest.
The golden-spotted snake likes shade, the hottest summer and the coldest winter will not haunt, fortunately, the night in the mountains is a little cooler than the day, compared to the sunny day, in the night into the mountains to look for the golden-spotted snake, the chance of finding will be greater.
Although it was dark and dangerous in the mountains and forests at night, Xiao Yin did not flinch at all.
Early the next morning, when the sky was bright, Xiugu got up and led people back into the mountain. The old lady also got up early and went to Ran Qiunian's house to guard, and the ginkgo was easy to talk about, so that the old lady could eat some things in Ran Qiunian's house.
After seeing Ran Qiunian's pulse, Doctor Chang was a little surprised.
"Old lady, I thought that Miss To-day would be too weak to swallow. But just now, the toxins in the young lady's body seem to be under control and will not continue to spread for the time being. At this rate, the young lady can hold on for two more days. ”
"Amitabha, I just said that my Nian'er Fu has a great life, and in two more days, I will definitely be able to find the golden spotted snake gallbladder into medicine. If Nian'er can get out of danger this time, I will definitely go to the temple to donate more incense money and thank the gods and Buddhas for their blessings. ”
The old lady couldn't help but fold her palms together and read two sentences, and there was a bit of moisture in her eyes.
"The slave knows what's going on, it was the eldest young master who came overnight last night and brought some qi nourishing pill to the young lady, so that the young lady's complexion recovered so well."
Qingxi saw that Doctor Chang said this, and his eyes were immediately happy, and when he heard that the old lady wanted to blame the blessing of the gods and Buddhas for this credit, he immediately said a few words to Xiao Yin.
This can almost be regarded as a reaction trained by her young lady, and if Ran Qiunian hears it, she will definitely be very pleased.
"Qi Nourishing Pill? This kind of healing holy relic is rare, Xiao Yin's child was willing to give the Qi Nourishing Pill to Nian'er, and Nian'er really didn't treat him as well as in vain. ”
Sure enough, the old lady was a knowledgeable person, and because Xiao Yin didn't want to give the Qi Nourishing Pill, she added three points of appreciation and gratitude to him.
"When did this kid come? I didn't know it, so go and call the boy. This time it's thanks to him. ”
It's a pity that the subordinates sent to find Xiao Yin didn't find anyone on Zhuangzi when they returned, but the horse brought by Xiao Yin was still in the stable, indicating that he didn't leave.
"Where did this kid go early in the morning?" The old lady frowned.
Qingxi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and blurted out: "The eldest young master won't enter the mountain overnight, right?" Yesterday, after he asked Miss Ming about her condition, he said that he would help find the snake gall of the golden-spotted snake. ”
"It must be so, this kid has always been affectionate, Nian'er is so good with him, he must not be relieved of Nian'er's safety, and he took the risk of entering the mountain overnight. This child, why is he so impulsive, how can the mountains at night be so easy to enter? ”
The old lady patted the table, a little worried, although Xiao Yin's skills are good, but in the end he was alone, and he didn't return all night, the old lady thought about it, and couldn't rest assured that she would go down.
"Send some more people into the mountains to find Xiao Yin and tell him to come back and rest first."
The old lady sighed secretly: "These are all of them, and they don't make people worry." ”
Another day passed, and there was no good news from the men sent everywhere to search for the gall of the golden-spotted snake.
Although Ran Qiunian was supported by the medicinal effect of the Qi Nourishing Pill sent by Xiao Yin, he looked good, as if he had just fallen asleep, but everyone's hearts gradually sank.
"It's just a small golden-spotted snake gall, I don't believe that the sky is going to be extinct, my Ran family has thousands of family fortunes but can't even find a snake gall."
The old lady listened to the news coming back from place to place, and couldn't help but be anxious and angry. This golden-spotted snake gall was not a rare thing in the past, but because the season is not right, it is difficult to find a thousand gold, how can it not make people depressed?
"Xiao Yin hasn't come back yet? Haven't anyone who entered the mountains seen any trace of him? ”
I asked everyone, but I didn't get Xiao Yin's whereabouts, and the people had been out for a day and a night, and the old lady Rao was not as concerned about Xiao Yin as Ran Qiunian in the past, so she had to worry at this time.
"It's night, and there are many wild beasts in the mountains at this time, so what's wrong?" The old lady frowned, "Send some people to look for it again, bring more people, and be careful." ”
Xiu Gu took the initiative to ask for orders to take someone to find Xiao Yin, and the old lady saw that Xiu Gu's attitude was even more resolute this time, so she agreed.
At night, the mountains and forests couldn't see their five fingers, and most of the people brought by Xiugu were ordinary nurses, and when they encountered fierce beasts, they were probably not a single blow, so they only let them search in the periphery. Xiu Gu herself took two good hands and searched deeper.
After looking for more than an hour, seeing that the torches were about to burn out, Xiao Yin's figure was still missing.
"Xiugu, otherwise, let's go back first, and then go inside to the deep mountains, seeing the fire at night is easy to attract fierce beasts, and I'm afraid it will be dangerous if we go on."
The person behind him was the best hunter in Zhuangzi, and he knew the situation in the mountains well, and Rao was a person like him, and he would not dare to go too deep into this wild forest on a summer night.
He thought that a rich young master like Xiao Yin would not go there, so he wanted to persuade Xiu Gu to return the same way.
"Yes, this month is dark and windy, and the torches are about to burn out, and then the road pattern will be even more difficult to distinguish, and if you get lost in the mountains, it will be even more dangerous. When the time comes, let alone looking for the eldest young master, our own lives will not be guaranteed. ”
The other nursing home couldn't help but retreat.
Xiu Gu frowned, looking at the deep forest in front of her who was getting more and more out of sight, and the torch in her hand was indeed about to burn out, but she had had enough of the feeling of returning in vain these days.
Thinking that Xiao Yin was Ran Qiunian's closest and most trusted eldest brother, if something happened, she was afraid that Ran Qiunian would be heartbroken after waking up, Xiu Gu made up her mind to continue walking, but she didn't want to take the lives of these innocent nurses, so she said:
"You go back the way you came first, and I'll look ahead again, and tell those people on the outskirts of the forest to withdraw first."
When the two nurses heard this, they saw that Xiugu and a woman's family said this, and their faces suddenly couldn't hold back, and they were about to refute, when they suddenly heard the sound of fighting in front of them, and Qi Qi's face changed.
"Listen, what's the sound?"
"It's not good, it's a mountain wolf!"
Wolves occasionally appear in the deepest part of the mountain, but there are no packs of wolves in the vicinity, and most of them are one or two lone wolves in the woods foraging for food, because they are shocked but not too scared when they hear the sound.
"It must be that the eldest young master is in danger, let's go over and take a look."
Xiu Gu's face was a little serious, and she followed the direction from which the voice came and rushed over first.
