When he carried her out, there were already snowflakes in the sky.

The howling wind swept through her cheeks, sharp knives cutting through her skin.

"Am I going to die?" Her voice was weak as if it would disappear into the cold wind at any time, "If I die, you will send my bones back to Beiliang, I don't want to stay in the Central Plains." ”

In the wind and snow, she tightened her arms and hugged her tighter, "You won't die." ”

Shi Ran sent her to the female doctor's house again, and the doctor couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Lian Zhi'er and Ruan Lu, who was covered in blood.

"Oh my God, her body was already weak, and now she is going to give birth prematurely, but it's amazing."

Shi Ran looked at Lian Zhi'er in his arms and heard this, it seemed that the pain was even worse, his eyebrows were furrowed, as if he was displeased, "Shut up." ”

The doctor couldn't help but be frightened, but he didn't expect Su Rili's cold and indifferent dyeing to make people so frightened when he got angry.

Shi Ran put Lian Zhi'er on the bed, his eyebrows full of worry.

The doctor took a cotton handkerchief and stuffed Lianzhi'er's mouth, then reached out to untie her blood-stained pants.

Shi Ran only turned his head, and when he was about to go out, he heard the sound of Lian Zhi'er whining, although it was vague, but he heard the word "Shi Ran".

The doctor took the quilt and covered Lian Zhi'er's body that was trembling in pain. Then he hurriedly stopped him, "Where are you going, do you want to leave her here alone?" ”

Shi Ran turned around, but saw her stretching out her weak hand and gesturing in the air, as if trying to catch him.

Seeing that her hand was about to fall, he still reached out and held her cold hand.

Lian Zhi'er only felt a heart-rending pain, as if her whole body had been rubbed and broken, and she was put together again. Her body was almost stained with beads of sweat, and even her consciousness gradually blurred.

"Lian Zhi'er, you hold on, think about Bei Liang, and your relatives." Shi Ran's voice was urgent, shaking her shoulders violently.

The heart-rending pain suddenly swept over again like a tide.

"Forcefully." The doctor hurriedly shouted, "Do you want one corpse and two lives?" ”

With the roar of Lian Zhi'er, she gradually closed her eyes, but soon there was a crisp, baby's cry.

When Lian Zhi'er woke up, she only felt as if her whole body was soaked in water, and she opened her eyes weakly, but she felt a dazzling morning light fall on her eyes.

And at this moment, the familiar voice came from the side, "Awake?" I boiled ginseng soup, you drink some. ”

saw Shi Ran still sitting beside her, with shocking blood stains and some dust faintly in her moon-white clothes. It's not as clean as it used to be.

Lian Zhi'er struggled to sit up, but his body was already tired, so he had to twist his body indiscriminately like a clumsy silkworm.

He got up and helped her up, then took the mat for her to lean on.

Lian Zhi'er realized that she was still in the female doctor's house.

He quickly brought over a bowl of warm ginseng soup, then took the spoon and scooped half a spoon with his own hands and brought it to her lips.

Lian Zhi'er took a deep breath, as if she had thought of something, and finally slowly opened her lips and asked, "What about the child?" ”

Her hand involuntarily stroked her flat lower abdomen, as if she was very unaccustomed.

"Drink soup." He was surprisingly persistent, and once again put the spoon to her lips.

Lian Zhi'er gritted her teeth and had to drink it, and the bowl full of it was quickly drunk by her.

The warm soup ran down her throat and into her lungs, and her tired body gradually gained some strength.

And at this moment, he finally spoke, "The doctor looks, it's a baby boy." ”

Lian Zhi'er's heart twitched, "Why didn't you send him away?" ”

"I have to let him meet his real mother." Shi Ran had already put down the medicine bowl and slowly stood up, "I'll bring it over to you and take a look." ”

Lian Zhi'er's eyes suddenly showed a trace of panic, and he almost subconsciously hugged his weak body, "No, I don't want to see him." ”

"It's fine." Shi Ran's eyes were as deep as a lake, "I hope you won't regret it in the future." ”

When Lian Zhi'er saw him turn around to go out, he only felt as if his heart was torn apart, "Just give me a look, just a look." ”

As she said this, her voice grew weaker and weaker.

"Okay."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and went out, leaving Lian Zhi'er alone in the house, but he saw the wind and snow falling outside, but he didn't expect the first snow of this year to be so heavy.

Soon the two of them came in one after the other, and it was the female doctor who walked in front, still holding a swaddling baby in her arms, but soon arrived in front of Lian Zhi'er.

"I have delivered many children, but I have never seen such a beautiful child, and I don't know what a handsome man the father of this child is." The doctor looked excited, and seemed to really like this child.

She sent the swaddling clothes to Lian Zhi'er's arms, Lian Zhi'er gritted her teeth, but still looked down.

saw a thin and weak child lying in her arms, because she had just been born, her skin was wrinkled and a little yellow, but her facial features were extremely exquisite, and she vaguely was full of the shadow of the man she hated the most.

It's really ironic, there is nothing like hers in this child, and it is as if Ruan Lu is portrayed in the same mold.

As if she felt that the child in her arms was a hot potato, she subconsciously wanted to throw it off, but her dark and clear eyes looked at Lian Zhi'er curiously, and finally grinned and laughed "giggle".

In an instant, Lian Zhi'er's heart seemed to melt.

"Yo he, I know that I like my mother so young. I hugged you all night, and you only know how to cry, you really have no conscience. The doctor couldn't help complaining, he really liked this child in his heart.

She suddenly remembered that she was still boiling medicine, so she glanced at the child again, and then reluctantly left.

Lian Zhi'er finally spoke with difficulty, "I think I want to bring him back to Beiliang." ”

"Okay, you can keep it for these days, and when I wait for the next spring, I will think of a way to let you leave together." There was a bit of tenderness in his voice.

He knew that a mother would not give up her flesh and blood easily.

————

The cold winter seems to pass quickly, Lian Zhi'er only takes care of her own children every day, and it is surprising to watch a skinny child grow up slowly.

Shi Ran also likes this child, and after being busy with official business every day, he will come to see their mother and daughter.

At first, Lian Zhi'er was only unseen, but then he gradually got used to it, and he found some fun things out of nowhere, amusing the baby child to keep "giggling" laughter.

Soon it was the time of the child's full moon, Xiaowen seemed to be more and more happy, and only took some silver to buy some good dishes in the restaurant in the city, and only ate happily with Lian Zhi'er.

In the evening, Shi Ran came again, and as soon as he entered the house, he took off his cloak, for fear that the cold air on his body would stain the child.

Lian Zhi'er is stirring charcoal in the house. Seeing him coming, he was not silent as before, but said slowly, "He doesn't have a name yet, adults have read so many books, and he doesn't have any knowledge like me, so you can name him." ”

Shi Ran didn't expect her to let him do this, he walked over and hugged the child, the child giggled, a pair of dark eyes, like Ruan Lu.

He seemed to hesitate about something, but Lian Zhi'er was clear.

She slowly opened her lips and said, "He has nothing to do with Ruan Lu, he is my Bei Liang person, and he will also be a warrior of Bei Liang in the future." ”

Shi Ran didn't hesitate for a moment, but said slowly, "The snow as big as the day he was born, even the sky and autumn snow are as bright as washing, and in the future, I will call Liankong, I just wish him a clean body like snow." ”

Lian Zhi'er didn't understand the poem at all, but she only felt that it was a good name, so she walked over with a smile and gently pinched her son's little face, "I'll call you Xiao Akong in the future." ”

As if he could understand, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he reached out to tug at the dyed shirt.

Something suddenly occurred to him. Said slowly, "I heard that not long after Ruan Lu was born, he had a serious illness, which was a disease of rebellion, and it was cured for him by the most respected Imperial Doctor Sun Hu in Beijing, but I am afraid that this child will ......."

"No, it won't." Lian Zhi'er's voice was full of fear.

"Don't be afraid, it'll be fine." He regretted telling her about it, but this child was so much like Ruan Lu, if he really had such a strange illness, how could it be good!

Lian Zhi'er took her child, hugged it tightly in her arms, and then said slowly, "Soon, soon we will go home, A-Niang will take you to ride horses, go hunting, and go to see the snow-capped mountains......"

Shi Ran only felt like a stone was blocked in his chest. He said slowly, "I will return to Beijing in two months, and the person who entered Beijing this time is your uncle, I will tell him about you, and let him take you out of here." ”

Her uncle is his father's brother, when his father led the troops into Beijing, he guarded Beiliang, and he was also a brave and warlike person, although not as famous as his father, but he was also a hero.

"On the day when the people of Beiliang entered Beijing, it happened to be the day when Ruan Lu got married, and I had already received a letter from my father, asking me to go to Beijing for a banquet." His voice was calm and unwavering.

Lian Zhi'er looked at the child's little face, and still couldn't help but think of the man who hated him to the core, "Congratulations to him on getting married for me." ”

Shi's pale eyes were like a pool of water, "Okay." ”

————

Shi Dye was about to leave on the day of Akong's 100th birthday, when the snow on the branches had melted away, and the spring flowers were ready to be released.

Lian Zhi'er was holding Ah Kong outside the house, and the child's eyes kept looking around me, as if everything was very novel.

And at this moment, I saw Shi Ran come out, he was wearing a pale cloak, and his black hair was neatly combed, and he looked more and more picturesque, like a god.

He walked over slowly, and only took out one thing from his arms, "Today is Akong's 100th birthday." Give it to him. ”

Lian Zhi'er raised his eyes and looked at it, but it was a long-life lock, and looking at the color, it was actually excellent.

"No need to ......," she could say before she could finish her sentence, when she was interrupted by his voice.

"I'm going to the capital today, and the people of Beiliang will pick you up soon." His voice was very soft, as if it were unwavering, "We may never see each other again." ”

Lian Zhi'er nodded slowly, trying to make herself look very calm. "Thank you, then."

Shi Ran slowly tied the longevity lock around Akong's neck, and the child seemed to realize something, only kept crying, and his little hands were stretched out in the air, constantly grasping indiscriminately.

"Take care of yourself in the future." Lian Zhi'er only has this one sentence.

"Thank you." Shi Ran looked at her.

Obviously, he will never see him again, but Lian Zhi'er can't say a word anymore, and finally slowly turns around and leaves.

He looked at her lonely back, and the child's constant crying, and he slowly turned away.

After Shi Dye left. It was a few days of heavy rain, because Shi Ran had ordered when he left that no one would be allowed to enter his yard without his permission, so Xia Rong only stood at the door and sent some things.

Xiaowen went to the street, and Lian Zhi'er had to get it herself.

Xia Rong's face was full of worry, and she only said, "If it rains again, I'm afraid that the river dam will collapse, and now that most of the people in the city have left, you can be prepared, if it doesn't work, let's just leave quickly." ”

Lian Zhi'er looked at the water that filled the yard, and it was almost flowing into the house, so he said, "Master Shi's house has nothing important to do, and there is nothing to clean up. ”

Then Xia Rong left with a sad face, if the river dam collapsed, they would all be disposed of, and Shi Ran had just left, and everyone began to be lazy, just afraid that something would happen.

When Xiaowen came back at night, her face was also full of worry, and she only said, "The people in the city have already left, and we don't know when to leave. ”

Lian Zhi'er saw her sad appearance, and she was also a little worried.

However, it was not until the evening that there was another burst of rolling thunder, accompanied by a pouring rain, and suddenly I heard a burst of shouts from outside, "The water is out, the dam is broken, run." ”

Akong, who was awakened by the noise, kept crying, and even Zhi'er and Xiaowen also woke up. When the two of them hurriedly got up, they saw that the room was already full of water, almost flooding their beds.

Xiaowen was so frightened that she almost trembled, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

Lian Zhi'er hurriedly found two hats, and then wrapped Ah Kong in an oilcloth, "Let's go." ”

Xiaowen only hurriedly followed her before pushing open the door, so frightened that she almost collapsed there, but saw that there was more water in the yard, and I didn't send it out at all.

Lian Zhi'er was quite calm, and only hugged the child in his arms tightly, "Let's go, let's go to the roof." ”

Fortunately, the bamboo ladder was still there, and the two of them barely climbed to the roof, only to see that the city was already flooded for most of it, and the water was getting more and more.

Lian Zhi'er only let Xiaowen stand on the roof, but at this moment, she saw a stream of water hit Lian Zhi'er's body violently. She and the child almost fell into the icy water.

"Don't." Xiaowen let out a terrible shout, "Lian'er." ”

Lian Zhi'er has a good water nature, she often swims in the lake when she is cool in the north, and no one is better than her in terms of holding her breath and catching fish.

Lian Zhi'er quickly swam out of the water, but she didn't know where she had been washed away.

She found a basket and put Ah Kong in it, and then swam wildly, until dawn, when she felt that her feet touched the dirt, and she realized that she had swam such a long distance last night, but in front of her was endless water.

The sky was already bright, and the rain gradually stopped, Lian Zhi'er nervously went to check on his child, but saw that his little face was pale and his body was as cold as an ice lump, especially his hands and feet.

Lian Zhi'er only felt that it was dark in front of him, but he still insisted on walking forward until he walked dozens of miles, and he came to a city that was flooded by the river.

Fortunately, the golden lock that was dyed to Ah Kong is still there, and it can be regarded as her life-saving money.

When she found the doctor, the doctor couldn't help but feel very surprised to see that she had escaped from death.

Lian Zhi'er hurriedly gave his child to him and let him check it.

The doctor had to check it again, his eyebrows were furrowed tightly, as if he had seen some strange condition, and he only said slowly, "This child's illness is not like it was drowned yesterday, but it seems to be a kind of syncope." ”

Lian Zhi'er only felt that the world was spinning, "No, it's impossible, please save him." ”

"This disease is really strange, there are very few people in the world who can be saved, I heard that there are a few people in the royal family who have given birth to such a strange disease, but only a few have been saved by the imperial doctor in the palace, I really can't do anything."

Lian Zhi'er stopped the child in her arms, and the painful appearance was like a needle and poked into her chest.

Yes, Ruan Lu's mother is the eldest princess, doesn't this child have royal blood in him, but he didn't expect that the words of dyeing that day would come true at this time.

Ruan Lu almost died of this illness at the beginning, but what about her children? How do you survive death?

"The girl had better go to Beijing to find a doctor as soon as possible, otherwise this child will have only a dead end." The doctor was also full of helplessness, "Even the fastest horse has to work for five or six days, so I have to watch the child's creation." ”

Lian Zhi'er hugged the child in her arms tightly, with endless tremors in her voice, "Mother will definitely save you, will definitely save you." ”

After saying that, she ran out like crazy and went straight in the direction of the capital.

On the third day of Shi Ran's return to Beijing, when he was asleep, he was woken up, "Childe, my lord wants you to get up and enter the palace, I heard that the Yellow River has burst its banks, and all those who built the river dam have been drowned. ”

Shi Ran was covered with cold sweat in an instant, "Are they all dead?" ”

"I heard that few people in the city were able to escape, not even those who repaired the dam."

Shi Ran suddenly felt a shock in his heart.
