Chapter 47: Did you miss me?
I don't know if it can be called a coincidence, when Ye Huaiyu and the guard arrived near the cottage on horseback, the village that was deserted the day before yesterday actually seemed to have the breath of a human today.
Ye Huaiyu and his companion glanced at each other, not to mention what the latter's expression was for the time being, but Ye Huaiyu's heart was full of doubts.
Is it a coincidence?
Let's not!
There was no patrol outside the stockade, and the two dismounted and walked inside for some distance, during which no one came to stop them.
This is strange, since it is popular, why is no one guarding the walled gate?
Continue to walk into the mountain, the mountain road is rugged and winding, along the road standing brazier to find the past, not long after another gate appeared in front of you, in front of the door standing two people are looking around.
It turns out that the one under the mountain is just a disguise, no wonder no one is watching, and this is the real den halfway up the mountain.
"One for each person." Ye Huaiyu said.
"Okay."
After a short discussion, the two immediately took action, one left and one right went up at the same time, went around behind the two people and grabbed their necks and twisted them hard, and the two gatekeepers didn't even have time to sound the alarm, they immediately rolled their eyes and fell down quietly.
After solving the two people in front of the door, Ye Huaiyu quickly ran inside, and there were only two people watching the gate in a huge courtyard, so was there anyone inside?
The guards followed behind Ye Huaiyu, and his performance was very appropriate, as if he had no advantage at all.
The door of the house at the main entrance was closed, and there was no one inside, Ye Huaiyu and the guards quietly fell to the roof, picked a loose place, and gently uncovered a piece of tile.
The people inside didn't notice it, and they still didn't know what they were talking about.
Ye Huaiyu fixed his eyes and looked down, and the people inside were all wearing masks, like a group of ghosts holding a meeting in the world.
"Ten people." He gestured silently to the guards on the side, "There's a big boss here." ”
The guard nodded, did not speak immediately, and continued to wait for Ye Huaiyu's arrangement.
"Five of you, five of me." Ye Huaiyu thought for a while and said.
The corners of the guard's mouth moved, and he didn't know whether to say something or not.
I thought he would arrange what kind of amazing way and method, but I didn't expect it to be so simple and rude.
"Yes," the guard gestured to him as well, "the leader is yours." ”
Ye Huaiyu nodded and said "good" silently.
In the next moment, he had already flown down, and with a swing of his long knife, he slashed open the door of the tight main house.
The ten people inside, including the big boss, all changed color in unison, except for the big boss who was still able to stabilize, the rest of them all had a strong desire to survive and became headless flies scurrying around the house.
Five people are not to be afraid of Ye Huaiyu, but if he is not physically injured, the speed of solving it should be shorter than now.
And because of his physical inconvenience, when he killed the big boss, he almost asked him to escape by taking advantage of the loophole, but the guards quickly helped him make up for it, so as to avoid a senseless pursuit.
This was a matter of course, but I don't know if he was too careful, and felt that this guard didn't seem to want the big boss to live.
Ye Huaiyu took off the masks of the ten people separately, trying to judge something from their faces, but the ten people were all ordinary faces, even the so-called big boss looked mediocre, a person he had never seen before. I searched them, and each of them had a gold bar.
Ye Huaiyu felt depressed for no reason, and always felt that the matter was not over, so he stopped in the middle inappropriately, as if he had accidentally eaten a fish bone, like a fish in his throat.
But it can't be over, it can only be shelved, the bandit leader and some of his important subordinates are here, there is no basis for him to investigate anything, and there is no proof of real death.
He looked at the guard beside him, and he had the feeling that things were going too well.
The guard said: "Ye Shao, the task of suppressing bandits is completed, and you can return to the dynasty to resume your life." ”
After his reminder, Ye Huaiyu was a little stunned, and finally remembered that the purpose of his trip was the only one, and the others were all extraneous and came at him, but whether it was related to this matter or not, there was no way to check it further.
Putting the mask back on several people, he cut off the head of the bandit leader, and then said, "Yes, we will leave for Beijing immediately." ”
The two of them traveled quickly, and entered the capital the next afternoon, and the guards parted ways with him at the city gate.
He was anxious.
Cheng Jingxi didn't know that he was coming back, if she suddenly saw him, what kind of expression would she greet him with what kind of expression? Anyway, no matter what kind of expression you look like, it's still the same ugly.
When Ye Huaiyu thought like this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but fly.
He's going to see his ugly wife!
The concierge was the first to see him, and turned around excitedly to go back to report, and the rest of the people took the horse in his hand, and Ye Huaiyu ran straight to his yard when he entered the house.
Mrs. Ye, who rushed to hear the news, pounced.
Mrs. Ye hadn't seen her child for a few days, and she really thought about it in her heart, but when she thought about it, Xiao'er must be sleepy all the way, what he needed most at this time was to rest, so after thinking about it, he would give up, anyway, everyone is back, when will I not see it!
Mrs. Ye returned the same way, so she didn't catch up with the eldest child who came back from outside.
Ye Huaixin casually asked the concierge, "I heard that the third young master is home?" ”
The porter said: "Yes, the third young master just entered!" I don't know where I went this time! ”
Ye Huaixin's lowered eyes turned cold when he heard this, and he snorted angrily in his heart and went back to his yard.
Ye Huaiyu was galloping all the way, and he didn't care to push open the courtyard door with a loud roar, "Jingxi! ”
Cheng Jingxi was sitting in the courtyard looking in the direction of the east at that time, and when she was slightly distracted, she was startled by his voice.
She turned her head blankly, her vision blurred for a moment, and in a trance there seemed to be a figure floating in, and then she was picked up tightly and spun in circles.
Cheng Jingxi had never experienced this kind of play, she couldn't react for a while, and the language couldn't keep up, she looked down at Ye Huaiyu's face, and felt that this should no longer be her own illusion, but her foolish head was blank, "......"
But I haven't seen each other for a few days, but it's like a long time has passed in a hurry, as if I have met again after a farewell, with mixed feelings.
It turns out that parting is actually like this.
Cheng Jingxi thought silently, and involuntarily held his face, hey, it's so good-looking!
"You ......," she said, her voice a little hoarse, and she cleared her up, "you're back." ”
She was very calm, the opposite of his over-excitement.
Ye Huaiyu's heart was a little cold.
She didn't seem to be as impatient as herself, and he seemed to be self-inflicted.
The mood gradually declined, Ye Huaiyu slowly put the person down, and then saw Bi'er on the side covering her mouth and her frightened face, slightly stunned.
Bi'er trembled and pointed at Ye Huaiyu's back very timidly, which was a large patch of red that had been soaked with clothes.
"Young, young master...... You ......"
Cheng Jingxi also smelled blood, she looked at her hands in shock, and almost didn't lose her breath.
Hands full of red.
"Ye Huaiyu, you're injured."
Ye Huaiyu suddenly felt as if he had a lot of cotton stuffed in his ears, and he couldn't hear it clearly, and the words of Cheng Jingxi and the maid Bi'er seemed to come from a far, far away, "Huh? Hmmm......"
It was suddenly dark, and he fell to the ground.
"Ye Huaiyu!" Cheng Jingxi subconsciously shouted at him, and turned to Bi'er again, "Come here and help!" ”
The slow half-beat maid hurriedly ran over after answering the voice, Bi'er, who was usually sharp like a small spinning top, was now in a hurry and couldn't do anything, and after trying a few times, she still didn't lift it, Cheng Jingxi slapped her angrily, and this was the way she was beaten back from the clouds.
"What for?"
Bi'er wiped the tears from her face, "Princess, the slave is wrong, the slave is wrong...... Slaves and maids are ......"
"Save these words for later, hurry up!"
The two of them finally moved Ye Huaiyu into the house, Cheng Jingxi grabbed Bi'er's wrist fiercely, forcing her to cheer up, she looked into her eyes, gritted her teeth and commanded word by word, "Listen, I want you to go to the imperial doctor's house now and bring him to me, remember, I don't allow anyone else to know about this matter, if the gate of the courtyard is surrounded and disturbs the young master's rest, I will kill you." ”
Bi'er nodded busily, tears falling down.
"Do you hear me?"
"The slave hears it, the slave hears it!"
"Don't cry!" Cheng Jingxi lowered her voice and roared.
Bi'er was still nodding her head, and the tears were still falling.
Cheng Jingxi faintly tasted the smell of blood in her mouth, and she solemnized her face, "If you cry again, you delay the young master's condition, I can kill you now, I'm not joking." ”
Bi'er held back her tears, whimpered twice, nodded heavily, and said softly: "Your Highness, rest assured!" ”
After wiping away her tears, she turned around and ran away, Cheng Jingxi's dizzy figure shook, she almost didn't fall down, and stood on the edge of the bed for a while, and the feeling was over.
Squatting down and looking at Ye Huaiyu who was lying on the couch silently, she couldn't help but reach out and probe his snort.
And gas.
There is also salvation.
With trembling hands, he uncovered the clothes on his back, and there were large patches of red inside, as well as a few hideous and terrible wounds, and the skin was open.
"I'm sorry." She whispered softly in his ear.
Maybe her movements were too strong, or maybe her tears accidentally fell into his wounds, Ye Huaiyu frowned in a coma, and snorted involuntarily.
Cheng Jingxi shuddered, covered him again, wiped two handfuls of tears from her eyes, turned around and ran out.
After a while she came in with a basin of water, the temperature was just right, and she wrung a hand towel, uncovered his shirt again, and gently wiped it carefully to avoid the wound.
I'm sorry.
If this sentence is really useful, she would rather say it every day, and say it all the time in the future, and say these three words in her lifetime, she is sorry for him, she is the one who has affected him.
Bi'er took the imperial doctor to quietly come in from one of the back doors of the Shuai Mansion, which was the closest to their courtyard, and she thought that it would not be discovered, but who would have thought that Yuan's black cat would run away again, and she would be hunched over looking around.
Coincidentally, when I looked up, I caught a glimpse of two people hurrying by.
Her heart moved, and the cat was no longer looking for her, so she went to her mother-in-law's yard instead.
When he entered the door, he didn't say his purpose, but asked Mrs. Ye like a sister-in-law, "Mother, daughter-in-law just heard from her husband that the third brother came back from outside?" ”
Mrs. Ye was in a good mood, and when she heard the words, she said kindly: "No, he finally came back, he was tired all the way, so first tell him to have a good rest, and then give him a good rest." ”
Yuan sat down and confirmed the conjecture in his heart, and after a pause, he chewed the root of his tongue: "Mother, my daughter-in-law just saw that the imperial doctor in the palace is here again." ”
Mrs. Ye's eyebrows jumped, and her happy expression added a little dissatisfaction, "What are you doing again?" Her Royal Highness is sick again? Why did her husband get sick as soon as she came back? ”
Yuan Shi said again: "Mother, my daughter-in-law heard that in the past, the imperial doctor usually came to the house to go to the front gate, but the daughter-in-law saw it at the back door, why didn't they even go to the front door?" Isn't there anything ...... Shameful ......"
Mrs. Ye glared at her as if warning, "Your mouth, I'll have to sew it up sooner or later!" ”
There is no strength in this sentence, Yuan Shi heard it, and smiled slightly, "Yes, my mother taught me a lot!" But isn't my mother really curious? If you're curious, why not check it out now? ”
Mrs. Ye knew what Yuan's idea was, but she couldn't listen to the wind or rain, but the imperial doctor didn't go through the main gate when he came, which was a bit suspicious.
Why did her child just come back and the doctor came?
Mrs. Ye's thoughts suddenly got stuck here.
Her child!
"Mother!" Yuan hurriedly caught up with Mrs. Ye, who suddenly rushed out.
"Go back to your yard and stay there!"
The Yuan family was strange, but no matter how curious she was, she didn't dare to go against Mrs. Ye's wishes, if she still wanted to live in this Shuai Mansion.
However, her yard is not far from Cheng Jingxi's yard, and it is closer to Mrs. Ye than to go, which may be one of the reasons why the black cat slipped out and ran in front of Cheng Jingxi to scare people that day, but she was not as good as the cat she raised, and she didn't dare to take even one step forward.
Ye Huaijin was drinking tea in the hall, and when she came in, she asked what was going on outside, and Yuan told her about it, Ye Huaijin didn't react after hearing it, but he forgot to drink the tea in his hand for a long time.
Ye Huaiyu was injured.
He thought as his heart raced.
"I'll go out."
"Where are you going?" Yuan was a little displeased, why did the mother and son have to go out after listening to her words?
Ye Huaijin turned around and touched his wife's face gently, "I'll be back soon, I won't delay too long." ”
"Where the hell are you going?"
Ye Huaijin said: "The household waiter invited me to drink with me this morning, I agreed to his meeting, it was already a little late, I just wanted to wait for you to come back and tell you." ”
When Yuan Shi heard this, his heart immediately softened, "Then you go and go back quickly, drink less wine!" ”
"Okay."
After the two of them were tired, Ye Huaijin walked out of the courtyard with a gloomy face and walked in the direction of Long Street.
As soon as the imperial doctor heard Cheng Jingxi finish talking about the situation, Mrs. Ye came in without saying a word.
Cheng Jingxi looked at the frightened Bi'er, and Bi'er whispered with a crying voice: "Princess, it's really not what the slave said, the slave and the maid came in from the back door with the imperial doctor, and they didn't dare to delay at all, where is the time to report to Mrs. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Ye ran in in a hurry, "San'er! ”
Cheng Jingxi knew that she would definitely not be able to hide this matter, so she had no choice but to greet her and stop Mrs. Ye, "Mother, my husband is a little injured, and it won't be in the way." ”
Mrs. Ye looked at her red eyes, and her heart was a hundred disbelief, "Don't fool me, if it's really a small injury, it's okay to be an ordinary man, why bother the imperial doctor to come over for treatment?" ”
Cheng Jingxi said: "To be on the safe side. ”
"To be on the safe side, how can I trust you when you see how red your eyes are? Do you believe it yourself? After Mrs. Ye finished speaking, she shook her hand and pushed her aside, and went over to look.
The imperial doctor carefully showed him the injury, and when he saw Mrs. Ye coming, he had to patiently tell her: "Madame, don't be impatient, the lower official is treating the horse, and the official will explain to Madame under what circumstances." ”
"What the hell is wrong with my third son?" Mrs. Ye's eyes turned red involuntarily when she spoke.
The imperial physician put a high hat on Ye Huaiyu who was in a coma, "The concubine serves the emperor, such a glorious thing, the lower officials think that the concubine is also willing to do it." ”
Cheng Jingxi looked at the old lady steadily, her fists clenched tightly in her sleeves.
Mrs. Ye is willing to say bullshit, my son is obviously not sick or sick at home, but how can he have a flying disaster and suffer this catastrophe!
But she was indignant in her heart, but she still had to say: "But why is my third son still in a coma?" ”
The imperial doctor gave Ye Huaiyu some medicine, and took out a thin silver needle to prick him with a few acupuncture points, and he couldn't refuse to anyone who took his words as a deaf ear, so he had to add some patience to himself, and replied: "The horse is too tired." ”
Mrs. Ye thought about it, and maybe there was indeed this reason, so her mood was better, "When will my third son wake up?" ”
The old lady and the old doctor spoke slowly, "It's not easy to say this lower official, but the physique of the master is so good, it must not be difficult to wake up." ”
After hearing this, Mrs. Ye relaxed a little, and there was nothing more to ask for a while, and finally stopped, and the room was silent for a while.
After the needle, the imperial doctor put away all the things he was carrying, and said to Cheng Jingxi: "Your Highness, Your Highness will come back tomorrow." ”
Cheng Jingxi nodded, and Mrs. Ye stopped him, "How many more days?" ”
The old lady said, "Seven days in total." ”
Mrs. Ye almost rolled her eyes and fainted with Ye Huaiyu.
"Your Highness will have to take care of the food these days," the old lady said, "Your Highness will prescribe some maintenance medicine, and Your Highness must not forget to feed the horse master these days." ”
Cheng Jingxi continued to nod and stopped talking.
The old lady doctor looked at Cheng Jingxi's face again, paused and said, "Madam, with all due respect, Master Ma needs to recuperate now, and there can't be more than two people around him, if you wake up at a missed time because of this, then ......"
Mrs. Ye gritted her teeth in her heart and scolded the old lady for not making sense, but she could only be reasonable on her face, "I know." ”
The courtyard was quiet again, and Bi'er knelt down in front of Cheng Jingxi, "Princess, if you want Bi'er's life, please ask for it after the young master wakes up, otherwise the princess will be left alone, and she won't be able to take care of it!" ”
Cheng Jingxi looked down at her, and exhaled slightly after a while.
"Get up, when did I say I wanted your life?"
The little maid raised her head in astonishment and looked at her master in a daze, "Princess......"
"Okay, hurry up and go out to buy medicine and come back to decoction, if you don't take care of the young master, I'll send you back!"
This courtyard of his own is the closest to Yuan's, and it belongs to the two courtyards that share a back door, Xu happened to be met by Yuan's when he came over there, and he ran to the main courtyard to complain.
Since the matter can't be hidden, she simply won't hide it, anyway, the soldiers will block it, and she is not afraid of anything.
Turning around and going back to the house to see Ye Huaiyu, his face looked better, but he was still slightly pale.
When Mrs. Ye didn't come, the old lady doctor examined Ye Huaiyu and told her that it was because the wound was not treated in time that caused inflammation and infection, but she didn't believe it all, if it was just like this, with his body, it would not be the current state at all.
But before she could ask deeply, she was interrupted by Mrs. Ye, but fortunately, the old thing will come tomorrow, and it is not too late to ask again.
She looked down at him, and it was only from the time he came back until now that she would have the heart to take a good look at him.
My heart seemed to be tightly entangled by vines, and it became impermeable in an instant.
Although I don't want to admit it, I really miss him.
She has lived alone for 16 years, and has never tasted what loneliness is like, and occasionally when she reads the book, she sees the people in it sad and sad, and when she reads, she actually doesn't agree, and she thinks that the things in it are pure nonsense, and the person who writes about it has no true feelings at all, and there is no personal feeling.
What is lonely and sad, it is all made up.
But when she really experienced it, when her life was infiltrated by another person bit by bit, when she had a skin-to-skin relationship with another person, when she had the memory of a midnight dream, she suddenly realized that what was said in the original book was true.
There will really be such a thing as missing.
The author is not.
And when this kind of thing sees the person in his heart, it will immediately ferment and swell, it will involuntarily approach, it will feel cold, and it wants to continue to draw warmth from him.
I see.
"Ye Huaiyu, I may like you a little." She imitated the rhetoric in the notebook and put the dialogue in it to herself, but she choked up as she spoke, with a little desperation in her tone, "Can you hug me?" ”
Of course, Ye Huaiyu couldn't respond to her, she looked at him for a long time, and finally the corners of her mouth gently pulled out a little smile, and said angrily: "Don't hug and pull down." ”
If Ye Huaiyu could be a little conscious at this time, he would feel that he was very wronged.
Bi'er bought the medicine back, and it took a few more hours to fry it, and when it was served, it was already dark outside.
Cheng Jingxi helped Ye Huaiyu up and leaned against her arms, and Bi'er took a small spoon to blow the medicine cold and fed it to him, but half a spoonful of soup was all spilled into Ye Huaiyu's clothes and didn't drink it at all.
Seeing this, Cheng Jingxi asked Bi'er to go out, and used a pillow instead of herself to let Ye Huaiyu lean on, she took a slight sip of medicine, and she shivered on the spot, so she had to endure pinching her nose and poured a tablespoon into her mouth, and then slowly pushed it into Ye Huaiyu's mouth mouth-to-mouth.
After feeding like this, the rouge on Cheng Jingxi's lips was spent, but looking at Ye Huaiyu, there was a slight red on his pale and colorless lips.
With a slight sigh, she put the medicine bowl on the table.
After Bi'er finished frying the medicine, she quickly cooked a pot of porridge, dried it and put a bowl in Cheng Jingxi's room, Cheng Jingxi remembered that she only ate a bite in the morning when she got down this day.
In the days when Ye Huaiyu was away, she had something unresolved in her heart, and she often didn't know how to eat, and sometimes she wasn't even interested in eating.
"Princess, you should eat a little," Bi'er looked at Cheng Jingxi staring at the rice bowl in a daze and didn't mean to move the chopsticks, "You have lost a lot of weight in the past few days, if you don't eat well, when the young master wakes up, I'm afraid I'll get sick again!" ”
Cheng Jingxi tugged the corners of her mouth slightly, raised her hand and picked up the spoon.
She has to eat well, otherwise I'm afraid that if Ye Huaiyu doesn't wake up, she will also fall.
Before going to bed, he fed Ye Huaiyu a bowl of water in the same way, and seeing that he seemed to be really asleep, the anxiety in Cheng Jingxi's heart eased a little.
He won't take his life.
Although the injury was serious, it was not fatal, and since he was able to bring him back, it meant that he had not been killed.
The next day, the imperial doctor came over as he said, and this time he walked through the main gate.
Mrs. Ye got up in the morning and went to the temple to pray for incense, and Cheng Jingxi had the opportunity to inquire about the wound on Ye Huaiyu's back.
The old lady didn't hide it from her, and told her that the reason why the situation was so serious was that in addition to improper handling, he also used an extremely domineering drug on his own, which was taken internally and externally, although it could solve a temporary need, but after using too much force, the disadvantages would be exposed.
The disadvantage is that he looks like he is now, and it can also be said that he has been counterattacked.
Cheng Jingxi listened quietly, and she already had a rough outline of what happened in her heart.
The Imperial Doctor left after finishing her work, and she sat alone beside the bed for a long time before she breathed a sigh of relief.
It's really exhaustive, I thought of everything, and I made all the preparations.
Good brother, you are smarter than your sister.
Ye Huaiyu woke up on the fifth day, it was in the afternoon, and Cheng Jingxi took care of him and drank the medicine, and then he was physically and mentally exhausted and squinted beside the bed.
He didn't wake her up, but quietly took a good look at her.
is still that ugly face, but in his eyes, it is extremely pleasing to the eye.
How can it be so comfortable!
He wasn't completely unconscious when he was unconscious, so she remembered everything she had told him and what she had done to him.
Thinking of this, Ye Huaiyu stretched out his hand and encircled her into his arms in a virtual way.
I hugged you, but don't say that you won't hug and pull it down, blame the grievances!
Cheng Jingxi hadn't slept very much, she felt as if someone had taken away her breath in a daze, and her desire to survive made her suddenly struggle, but to no avail, she suddenly woke up in a hurry, and her eyes were a pair of smiling eyes at hand.
She was able to free her lips from between his teeth, "You...... Wake up! ”
"Did you miss me?"
His voice was soft, like a feather brushing through his heart.
Itchy and unbearable.
