(Volume 1) Chapter 28 First Arrival in Sanyuan Town

Su Mingxi replied with an "oh", and thought about what other topics could be continued.

But Tang Mingyin would not let her go easily, and only said: "I heard that King Xiang has recently deployed Chen soldiers in Daze, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Holy Medicine Workshop to return." Why don't you bring Miss Meng to Luzhou as a guest? ”

"No, the Chongyi Army is very disciplined, and I won't be an outsider."

"Outsiders? Someone is afraid that he has forgotten, in the Xuanzheng Palace, His Majesty decreed to marry you and me, plus the title of the county lord, even the marquis has to salute you, and when you arrive at the Chongyi Army, who dares to treat you as an outsider? ”

Su Mingxi hurriedly said, "That's not ......"

"Isn't it? Isn't it true, this thing told you at the beginning, it was always true. Tang Mingyin seemed to be a little excited.

Su Mingxi sighed, "It's okay, I don't want you to say more." I won't go to Luzhou, and I'll take Xiaochu away at that time, and if I can't go back to the Holy Medical Workshop, I'll go to her brother in Yuzhou. ”

Tang Mingyin said: "I just said that those two hearts secretly promised, and you were in such a hurry to break them up." ”

Su Mingxi didn't let an inch of land: "It's nothing to worry about, it's always the fate of Pingshui meeting." If you have been separated for a long time. As he spoke, he raised his head, looked at him fiercely, and said, "It's normal to fall in love with someone else!" ”

Tang Mingyin looked at her, as if he was poked in the sore spot by these words, frowned slightly, and turned around: "Didn't Lord Helian say anything?" ”

"What if you say it, what if you don't say it, I always believe in you." Su Mingxi's tone was very indifferent.

The two of them didn't say anything for a while, just looked at the door and the other at the window.

After a long time, Tang Mingyin said: "These days, can you be a sitting doctor in this small pharmacy?" ”

Su Mingxi nodded, but thought about it again: "Do you have a salary?" ”

Tang Mingyin put his hands behind his back, bent over and looked at her and said, "That's called a consultation fee." After saying that, he smiled softly.

"Well, thank you, Boss Tang." Su Mingxi said this sentence a little playfully, and the two tacitly turned the page of the previous unpleasantness.

"I didn't expect so many things to happen on this trip to the south." Looking out the window, Su Mingxi couldn't help but sigh like this. "I don't know what happened to Xiao Chu?"

In fact, the situation there was not too bad. After more than an hour of exploration, Mu Qinghan finally found a glimmer of light in the dark cave.

When they climbed out of the light, they realized that the whirlpool that had absorbed them into the cave was actually a large hole five feet square. This large hole is in the riverbed, and the drying up of the river is precisely the reason why the flow of water stops.

"It's dangerous, if you come out a little later, the river will be filled back into the hole." Meng Zhichu looked at the small water flowing slowly on the riverbed and said casually. I didn't care at all that I came out of the waterway just now, and my face was already a little muddy.

Mu Qinghan felt the sunshine and felt very good. If it weren't for the poor scholar who came to his house to beg for wine, he would have taught few things, and it would have been a good poem here, lamenting the tense and overwhelmed time in the past half a month.

"Well, I'm talking to you." Meng Zhichu expressed his anger at the way the little brother Mu felt the breath of freedom at this time. But at this moment, she felt Mu Qinghan's warm big hand caressing her face.

"I heard it, but I just didn't know how to take it." Mu Qinghan said as he wiped some mud from his face with his fingers.

This operation made Meng Zhichu's face a little red and hot, so he avoided his eyes and lowered his head, but saw a gray and white rabbit turning over something in the soil.

"It's so cute." Sure enough, girls still don't have much resistance to such things. She crouched down and picked up the little rabbit who was struggling for lunch.

Looking at those small jewel-like eyes, I was overjoyed. When he looked at it, he said, "This rabbit is so cute." ”

But she didn't know that she was looking at the cute thing in her hand with joy, and Mu Qinghan in front of her was looking at her, her eyes were as warm as she was looking at a rabbit. After all, the girl at this moment is the treasure in the eyes of the boy.

"Indeed, I've been a vegetarian these days, and I just had some meat for dinner."

Meng Zhichu raised his head with white eyes, although he didn't speak, but he said two words between his eyebrows, you dare!

Mu Qinghan stood Yang Xue aside, held his hand, slowly leaned down, and said with a smile: "Forget it, there are not a few taels of meat in total, it is better to eat something else." After speaking, he glanced up and down with intriguing eyes.

Meng Zhichu didn't react, he just lifted the little rabbit up, looked at Mu Qinghan's face, and said to the rabbit, "This guy is not well-intentioned, let's ignore him." ”

At this time, the little rabbit was a little at a loss under the sun, just desperately pedaling on the two rabbit legs that were not fat. And the girl in front of him looked at it, and the half-kneeling teenager behind him looked at the girl, what a comfortable picture it was against the backdrop of the sun.

Meng Zhichu took the little rabbit in his arms, and then remembered something: "Where are we going next?"

Mu Qinghan said: "If you walk along the river, you will definitely find a place where there are people, so ask again when the time comes." ”

Meng Zhichu realized, touched the rabbit in his arms, and said, "When I get to the market, I will definitely find a place to take a good bath." And ......"

"How?"

"If you dare to peep again, watch out for my fists." As he spoke, he picked up the rabbit's two front paws and gestured to beat people.

"Don't worry, let's go." Mu Qinghan sneered, thinking, how could he let you go.

Meng Zhichu was suspicious, so he said to the little rabbit: "Let's go, ignore him." ”

But I didn't take two steps, and suddenly I was dizzy and planted forward. Mu Qinghan hurriedly ran to help, and the little rabbit took this opportunity to slip out of the plump bosom and disappeared into the grass on the riverbank.

"What's wrong with you? This was the case just before the hole was opened. ”

Meng Zhichu gasped slowly, and she didn't know it, so she said, "I think I'm tired, and I didn't sleep well yesterday." ”

Mu Qinghan, who heard this, was even more distressed, so he carried her without saying a word. "Don't walk, rest on my back."

"Okay." This time she said yes very simply. "Then you have to be careful when you walk, don't wake me up."

Mu Qinghan replied with a smile: "Okay." ”

Meng Zhichu grabbed his hand more firmly and leaned on Mu Qinghan's back. Mu Qinghan hooked Xiao Chu's thigh with one arm, while the other picked up Yang Xue, and embarked on a new path.

Slowly Meng Zhichu fell asleep, maybe after being tired and nervous, it can really make people forget the bumps, she not only fell asleep, but also slept very sweetly.

"Mu Qinghan, I want you to wash a hundred clothes for me."

Mu Qinghan was taken aback by this sound, and after listening carefully, the soft breathing sound of a warbler made him smile.

"This girl, if she falls asleep, she will make people call." He imagined the sleeping face of the beauty on his back and laughed.

The girl had a dream.

She walked on a grassy path with bright flowers and a blue-feathered butterfly. The blue feather butterfly looks even more beautiful in the sun.

She couldn't resist chasing it, but she didn't want to catch it.

If the butterfly can stay in her hand for a moment, it would be good to let her see the pattern of the blue feather butterfly.

She ran and ran, I don't know how long. But there seems to be no end to the trail, and the surroundings are still so beautiful. Suddenly, a bunch of flowers blocked her path.

She has always loved flowers, not only the smell is good, but also likes its appearance, white and tender like the first snow, a little yellow, but it is very elegant.

Follow the flowers, look up.

It's like a man, and that bunch of manache is what he brought.

She didn't know who it was, but the man's figure made her feel as if she had seen it somewhere, familiar and close, but she really wanted to take over the bundle, but she wanted to be alienated.

With a shake of the hand, the flowers fell to the ground, instantly turned into powder, and when the wind blew, they dispersed. And with it the figure of the man.

She reached out to grab it, but she couldn't. She looked around anxiously, but she didn't know what she was looking for.

I took a step and continued walking, and as soon as I took a step, I found that the scene around me had changed.

She seemed to hear the sound of sand, rustle, what kind of sound it was.

Listen carefully, listen carefully.

Oh, it turned out to be her own footsteps, it turned out that she was still walking, walking on the snow, and every step made a footprint.

The surrounding light dimmed, as if it were night.

She looked ahead, confused, but luckily the blue-feathered butterfly reappeared.

The butterfly flew in front of her little head, but it didn't stop.

She couldn't help but pounce, but she fell into the snow, but the blue feather butterfly still fluttered in the wind and snow, and never left, as if she was laughing at her.

The little girl got up from the snow and dusted off the snow from her body, crying as if no one was around.

She cried a lot, but no one responded, only the blue feather butterfly was still flying in front of her.

She cried even harder, but the blue feather butterfly was there, and it didn't fall.

The wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier, and the girl is gradually wrapped in snow.

Maybe she was tired of crying, and she couldn't cry anymore. I just curled up as if it was cold.

She wanted to get out of here, but she couldn't.

It's so cold, so tired.

Her hands were frozen and shivering, and she tried to reach for the butterfly, but she couldn't.

Oh, I never got there.

She thought so and withdrew her hand.

It was getting colder and colder, and she was starting to miss the warm bed. But she couldn't walk.

At this time, the butterfly seemed to be a little irritable, and it was not so leisurely, but scurrying, as if desperately trying to get the girl's attention.

At last it landed on her forehead, and the girl raised her eyes, and although she could not see the butterfly, she smiled, and smiled very happily. It is extremely inconsistent with this raging wind and frost.

Just as she wanted to close her eyes, a light shone not far away, like a little light in the night, attracting the girl's gaze.

Where is that? It feels so warm.

She reached for it, but she still couldn't reach it, but she really seemed to be close, thinking about it.

Blue Feather seemed to understand her.

It soared into the air again, and in an instant, it turned into a blue deer, which was beautiful. The deer leaned over and sniffed at the girl.

The girl couldn't help but touch it, it was fluffy and comfortable.

The blue deer rubbed the girl's face, but lifted the girl up with its antlers and carried her himself. Running towards the light.

Run faster, run faster. The light grew bigger and wider.

It was about to arrive, and the deer jumped in the light.

......

She woke up.

"I'm finally awake, so it's fine." It was an old woman with gray hair and gray temples who spoke, and Mu Qinghan beside her was talking, and Meng Zhichu smelled a strong smell of medicine as soon as he woke up.

Before he could figure out the situation, after listening to Mu Qinghan's thousand thanks, he immediately pounced and said five or six good words.

"What's wrong? Where is this? How are we here? Meng Zhichu touched his little head and asked three questions in a daze. Mu Qinghan was very happy, but he didn't know how to answer when he asked where he was, so he subconsciously looked at the old woman.

The old woman looked at it and said, "Girl, our name here is Sanyuan Town, which is the boundary of Quzhou. You were poisoned, and this young man carried you to our pharmacy for treatment. ”

"Poisoned?" Meng Zhichu was even more confused, in her impression, she should have just fallen asleep on Mu Qinghan's back.

"That's because you practice martial arts." An old man's voice came from outside the door, looking at him dressed as a doctor, thinking that Meng Zhichu should have been cured by this person, but she still didn't understand why she was poisoned, and what did this have to do with practicing martial arts.

The old man poured the freshly boiled decoction into the bowl and didn't look at them: "We have a lot of mosquitoes in this area, and there is one called the Mosquito Mosquito." The mosquito is bigger than usual. ”

Then he handed the medicine to the old woman. With a straight face: "Give her a drink when it's cold." ”

Then he found a pestle and mortar to pound the medicine: "When an ordinary person is bitten, it probably hurts for a while." But people who practice martial arts and practice qi, once they are bitten and still exercise, the toxins will flow throughout the body with the true qi, plus you have already caused a cold a few days ago, of course you are poisoned. ”

"Thank you." Meng Zhichu probably understood what was going on, so he thanked him. But the old man didn't appreciate it at all,

"I can't stand it, so take care of yourself." As he spoke, he put the medicine together and glanced at Mu Qinghan. Mu Qinghan's expression was a little embarrassed, and then he said to Meng Zhichu: "I'll go out with the old man for a while, you can rest well." ”

"Oh" Although Meng Zhichu didn't know what was going on, he still obediently agreed.

At this time, the old woman held the medicine in her hand, scooped it with a spoon, looked at Meng Zhichu and smiled, unlike the old man, this old woman was kind and kind.

"My old man is like this, he has a bad temper, don't take it to heart." The old woman was still frowning.

"It's okay, thank you for saving me."

The old woman smiled and said, "Don't listen to that old man's bluffing, the mosquito is not a powerful thing." You have to thank you, and you have to thank yourself. ”

"Huh?"

"Thank you for finding such a good gentleman on your own. It's not easy to say that this young man is really not easy, braving the rain and trotting all the way to our town to find a doctor, and I'm afraid that I will get you drenched. The old woman scooped up the medicinal soup and talked about homely things.

Meng Zhichu blushed a little when he heard the word "man", and subconsciously lowered his head. After listening to the latter words, I realized that my clothes were a little wet, but there was a leather coat of his, and the corners of my mouth were slightly raised.

Then I heard the old woman say, "When I found our house, the old man saw that he was dressed as a soldier and had no money, and he didn't want to accept you." can't stand your man's begging, I look pitiful, that's why the old man saved you. ”

When Meng Zhichu heard this, he felt bad in his heart, and thought that the silver money was gone long when the ship sank, so he said: "That's really troublesome, when we get to the residence, the Dingxin person will send the consultation money." ”

The old woman put down the medicine bowl, patted her hand and said, "Alas, no, no, no, it's all in this mess, and no one has any difficulties." The two of us also have a son as big as your man, who caught a strong man for the king of the Southern Tour in his early years, and if he was by our side, he would have taken a daughter-in-law like him. ”

The old man lowered his head as he spoke, and sighed.

Hearing this, Meng Zhichu didn't know how to be relieved, and only said some words of compassion for himself, which could be regarded as comforting the past. Then he said, "So are they going?" ”

Then the old woman said: "Your man went with the old man to collect medicine outside the town, and I heard the old man say that the medicine will not bloom until the night of the rainy day to be picked, and it is said that it is worth a lot of silver, and if you can collect it, the soldier will come to collect taxes again, and it will be easy to deal with it. It also counts the cost of medicine. ”

"Wouldn't that be dangerous?" When Meng Zhichu heard that it was raining at night, he was a little worried.

The old woman's eyes were a little evasive, so she said, "This medicine seems to be difficult to find, if it weren't for the fact that the soldiers have been coming all the time, the old man would not have thought of this way." Thirty miles north of here is Quzhou City, and every time a soldier comes out, the first one comes here. He sighed and shook his head.

Meng Zhichu didn't feel good when he heard it, but after all, someone saved you, so he didn't have to say anything, so he had to wait.

The rain outside the door was getting heavier and heavier, and the people who disturbed it became more and more upset.

About an hour later, I heard a quick knock on the door, mixed with shouting: "Open the door, open the door!" ”

With the sound, there was also a knock and a kick. When the old woman heard this, she quickly covered Meng Zhichu with a quilt.

"It must be that the soldiers and ruffians are collecting debts again, don't make a noise inside, you are such a good-looking girl and you can't show them."

I covered the quilt and pulled the hemp curtain. I went to open the door, and as soon as the door opened, I was kicked open.

"I screamed so much, why didn't I open the door?" The kicker was a soldier in armor and a band, followed by seven or eight.

The old woman got up from the ground, panting and careful. "It's too old to ask for it. What are you doing, gentlemen? It's not that the tax was collected just a few days ago. ”

"The front line suffered defeats, and there was not enough food and grass, so the above instructed us to levy more, and by the way, check whether there are any harboring criminals." The man who came raised his toes and raised his hand, "Come brothers, see what the previous belongings are, and move them away." ”

So, the soldiers in the back rushed into the shop. The old woman hurriedly grabbed the arm of the leader and cried bitterly: "Master Jun, you can't be like this, you can't be like this." ”

"Get out of here!" The officer ignored the old woman and shook off the old woman.

"Levying your things is for your face! Don't be at your fingertips! ”

Listening to the bandit behavior in front of him, Meng knew that he was angry in his heart, so he was angry and bloody, and wanted to forcibly perform the exercises, but he ended up with these beasts. However, a single luck, the toxin has not been removed, and the luck is aggravated, so that Meng Zhichu does not even have the strength to get up for a while.

At this time, the soldier said, "Old woman, have any strangers appeared in the town recently, such as a young man and a little girl of seventeen or eighteen?" ”

As soon as she said this, the old woman subconsciously looked at Meng Zhichu's bed, suddenly realized something, and hurriedly said, "No, no." He shook his head vigorously and denied it.

But this did not escape the eyes of the ruffian, and he pointed in the direction of the inner room: "No, what are you looking inside?" As she spoke, she was about to go inside, but the old woman said that it was not good, so she hurriedly grabbed it: "It's really nothing, Master Jun." ”

But he was kicked away again, and the ruffian went into the back room and saw what was wrapped in the bed. At this time, the old woman also came, and the ruffian grabbed her by the collar: "Didn't you say that there was no one, what is that!" ”

"I'm here to see a doctor."

"The doctor is so tightly wrapped?" With a disdainful face, he was about to pull the quilt, but the old woman pulled her legs and feet.

"Master Jun, that person has been poisoned, others can't touch it, leave quickly."

"What kind of poison, I haven't been afraid of it when I walk in the rivers and lakes." After speaking, he kicked the old woman a few feet away, tore off the quilt, and saw Meng Zhichu looking at him viciously.

"Oh, I can't see it, there is such a decent chick in this poor country. No wonder it's so tightly hidden. ”

The soldier looked at Meng Zhichu and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. The old woman gasped a few times, and quickly got up, trying to catch the ruffian, but was firmly controlled by the other soldiers who had been called.

The soldier ruffian looked at Meng Zhichu and said in a loud voice: "Brothers, take care of this old woman, my brother will give you a taste of saltiness first, everyone has a share!" After saying that, the group of brutes showed a lewd smile.

Meng Zhichu moved differently at this time, and his heart was even more indignant, and he shouted, "What are you going to do? If you dare to come here, I'll kill you! ”

"Kill, I'm so scared. Beauty, my brother will love you well. As he spoke, he pounced.

If it were ordinary, with Meng Zhichu's martial arts, this beast would have been cleaned up a few times, but it was this that he couldn't move, and although he tried his best to resist, he was still powerless.

The soldier ruffian was not ambiguous, and when he came up, he ripped off the leather coat on Meng Zhichu's chest, and sniffed it, and his mouth was disgusting. Meng Zhichu was extremely frightened at this time, and she was so frightened that she cried a little at this time.

But just when she thought that this matter was in danger, the soldier stopped moving, and when Meng Zhichu looked again, the man's face was frightened and sluggish, and blood oozed from his mouth casually, and then he saw a silver steel spear piercing his body in the back.

I heard the steel gun pulled out from behind, and the beast fell in response. Looking at it again, Mu Qinghan was covered in blood, and he ended up with Yang Xue, and the other soldiers outside the door also became Yang Xue's blood. Mu Qinghan hurriedly ran over and helped Meng Zhichu up.

"It's okay."

Meng Zhichu shook his head and didn't say a word, but hugged Mu Qinghan, his big watery eyes, he wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, he only said: "Why did you come back, why did you come back!" As he spoke, he was still tapping Mu Qinghan's back.

The old woman looked at the corpses in this place with a little cold, her hands trembled and she didn't dare to move, this is the old man also ran over: "Hurry up, there are still a lot of soldiers in the town, they should chase after them in a while." ”

At this moment, I heard someone outside the door say, "Come on, there's something going on here." ”

Knowing that the soldiers behind him were coming, Mu Qinghan hurriedly picked up Meng Zhichu and rushed out of the pharmacy with a snow belt, but unexpectedly, the street at the door was already full of chasing soldiers who rushed to hear the sound, and there were hundreds of people. And Meng Zhichu didn't have the slightest strength at this time, so he could only lie on his back.

Mu Qinghan lifted Yang Xue, looked at the so many soldiers in front of him, and waited for him.
