Chapter I

Every year in March and April, it is the most beautiful scene of Ramie Village, the flowers are in full bloom, the willow trees are shady, attracting countless kingfishers, bees and butterflies to play and fly, and the clear stream flows around the village, because there are often women here to make Huansha, and over time, this stream has a name - Huansha Creek.

Yiguang walked slowly under the dense and blooming pear trees, and under the eyebrows of the frowning cage smoke is a pair of autumn water bright eyes, looking forward to the brilliance, just a glance, it seems to be full of countless mountains and waters, the so-called allure of the country and the city, probably that's it.

She picked up a fallen flower on the ground and sighed silently, the flowers bloomed as scheduled, but it was a pity...... This year, there are no more people to enjoy the flowers.

Pear blossom, pear blossom, this time, I'm afraid it's really going to be separated......

"You're here." A blue-clothed girl of the same age came to Yiguang's side, if Yiguang is as beautiful as the clouds on the horizon, it is amazing but untouchable; Then, she is the peony of the world, beautiful and real.

Yiguang pinned the pear blossom in his hand to Zheng Dan's shirt and said with a smile: "How does my sister know that I am here?" ”

"There are only a few places you like the most, and you can always find them one by one." Zheng Dan smiled, and then said with a serious expression: "Go back and collect your clothes and important things, we have to leave the village quickly." ”

Yiguang nodded, looked down at the roots of the pear tree and said, "It's a pity that I can't get these jars of pear blossom wine that I buried last year." ”

"When the war subsides, we will come back, and Uncle Shi will definitely be able to drink the pear blossom wine you brewed himself, don't worry." Zheng Dan stretched out his hand to brush away the pear blossom that fell on Yiguang's shoulder at some point.

Yiguang raised his eyes and looked at the direction of the national capital, and said worriedly: "The country of Wu is menacing, and I am afraid that this war will not be easily quelled." ”

Zheng Dan was not as worried as her, "Two years ago, the State of Wu came to attack, but was victorious by the king's clever plan, not only defeated, but also lost the life of King Wu, this time the king will definitely be able to win." ”

Yiguang was silent, two years ago, although Wu was also fierce, but it was defeated before it reached the capital of Yue, but this time it was ......

I hope that God will bless the country and thousands of innocent people.

Just when she was losing her mind, a light veil suddenly covered her face, which surprised Yiguang, and she subconsciously wanted to reach out and take it off, but was stopped by Zheng Dan, "Don't take it off." ”

"Sister, what are you doing here?"

Zheng Dan fixed the veil for her, and said: "I heard that Wu Jun is brutal, especially that Wu Wangfucha, who has a hideous appearance, and is fierce and lustful by nature, you are so good-looking, if you are met by them, you will definitely be taken captive, so you can save a lot of trouble by covering it with a veil." ”

Yiguang thought about it, and said gratefully: "It's still my sister who thinks thoughtfully." ”

Zheng Dan smiled, took her hand and said, "Let's go, I'm afraid my mother is already in a hurry." ”

Along the way, you can see people fleeing from the village with their wives and children, and the once lively village is now empty, and there are almost no people in sight, which makes people feel sad.

In the village, Zheng's mother was looking anxiously at the door, and when she saw Zheng Dan coming, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly greeted her, complaining: "You child, you know that you are about to leave, why are you still running around, but you can worry about your mother." ”

"When my daughter saw that Yiguang was not there, she went to look for her." As he spoke, Zheng Dan turned to Yiguang and said, "Go back to the house and clean up." ”

"Hmm." Yiguang saluted Zheng's mother, turned around and entered the room next to her, the Shi family and the Zheng family lived next to each other, so she and Zheng Dan grew up together since childhood, and their relationship was very good, like sisters, but Zheng's mother didn't like her.

Seeing Yiguang enter the house, Zheng's mother reprimanded Zheng Dan unhappily, "You are really, let's not be related to her, what do you care about her." ”

"Mother." Zheng Dan had a lot of complaints about her words, "What do you mean by non-relatives, Yiguang is something you grew up watching, and now Uncle Shi is on an errand in the palace, and she is the only weak woman in the family, how can we not care." ”

"That's her business, what does it have to do with us." Mother Zheng said bitterly: "Last year, I finally asked someone to tell you about the relatives of the Liu family in the capital, their family is a big family, if you marry in the past, you don't have to worry about it in this life." As a result, when Liu Gongzi came, you happened to be with the girl, so that he took a fancy to the girl at a glance, and regretted the marriage on the spot. ”

Zheng Dan said funny: "This is to blame the son of the Liu family for judging people by appearance, being superficial and ignorant, what is the matter with Guan Yiguang." Besides, my younger brother was seriously ill last year, and if it weren't for Yiguang's help, he would have lost his life. ”

Mother Zheng was so annoyed that she couldn't answer, and she was a little annoyed, "I don't care, in short, that girl is not a good person, you don't have much contact with her." ”

"Got it." Zheng Dan said helplessly: "When Yiguang goes to the capital to find Uncle Shi, we don't care, just this way, my mother should be kind and let her come with us." ”

"You!" Mother Zheng stretched out her finger and tapped Zheng Dan's forehead hard, "I gave birth to you so beautiful, but you have less heart eyes, it's really infuriating." ”

Zheng Dan knew that she had agreed, and said happily: "Thank you, mother." ”

At that time, Yiguang also packed up his baggage and walked out, several people fled out of the village together, when passing through Huansha Creek, Yiguang saw a person staggering by the stream from a distance, he seemed to be injured, covered in blood, occasionally a few fleeing villagers passed by him, were frightened by the blood far away, did not dare to approach.

After barely walking for a while, the man seemed to be unable to support himself any longer, and staggered and fell into the icy water, motionless.

Yiguang was startled and hurriedly ran over, Zheng Dan didn't hold it for a while, afraid that something would happen to her, so he hurriedly followed.

When he got closer, he found that it was a young man, who was still handsome, but his face was pale and terrible, and he struggled to help her up from the stream, "Childe! Son! ”

Yiguang called a few times in a row, but never saw the person react, and quickly asked Zheng Dan to help hold it, and then put his finger on his wrist, which was soaked in the stream water.

Yiguang's father is the imperial doctor in the palace, and she has the best medical skills to the true inheritance of her father, but she is much more clever than those ordinary doctors in the city, and it took a while to diagnose the condition of the young man in front of her, which is the same angina as her, and the other is excessive blood loss.

Yiguang took out the pill that her father had specially made for her from her baggage, stuffed it into her mouth, and then picked up the stream water next to her and fed him to swallow the pill.

"Dan'er, what are you doing, come back quickly." Not far away, Zheng's mother anxiously urged.

"It's almost there." Zheng Dan responded perfunctorily and asked with concern: "How is he, can he be saved?" ”

"It's the same angina as me, but fortunately, it was detected in time, and it should be fine." As he spoke, Yiguang took out the medicine powder from his baggage to stop bleeding, sprinkled it on the wound that was bleeding from his right abdomen, and bandaged it with clean gauze.

At that time, Zheng's mother didn't see Zheng Dan come back, she was anxious, and walked over and pulled Zheng Dan up, "What are you doing slowly, if you don't leave, Wu Jun is coming." ”

Her hand was clenched very tightly, Zheng Dan couldn't hold it for a while, and said anxiously: "Mother wait a little longer, Yiguang is saving people." ”

Zheng's mother didn't like Yiguang in the first place, but seeing her "meddling" at this moment, she was unhappy in every way, and snorted coldly: "I can't save my life, who else can I save, hurry up!" ”

Yiguang didn't want to drag Zheng Dan down, so he said: "You guys go quickly, I'll catch up when he wakes up." ”

"But ......" Zheng Dan wanted to say more, Yiguang already smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have a fast foot, I will definitely be able to catch up." ”

Seeing Yiguang's insistence, Zheng's mother urged her to hurry up, Zheng Dan could only leave, looking back at each other from time to time, her eyes full of worry.

Shortly after they left, the young man's eyelashes moved, and then he slowly opened them, staring blankly at everything in front of him...... Where?

He only remembered that after he escaped from the siege with his injury, he walked aimlessly, and he didn't know how long he walked, when suddenly the old disease recurred, and his heart was in severe pain, and then he fainted.

"Are you awake?" A beautiful voice sounded in his ears, he followed the sound, and what came into his eyelids was a woman wearing a light veil, only a pair of bright and gentle eyes could be seen, and he said in a dumb voice: "You saved me?" ”

Sort of. Yiguang smiled through the veil, and then said: "I don't hear that your accent is like a Yue country, where are you from?" ”

The young man hesitated for a moment and said, "I'...... It's called Lize, a merchant from Gusu, who came to buy goods, but it happened to be a war, and he was injured by a stray arrow, and the old disease recurred, but fortunately he was rescued by the girl, otherwise his life would be over. ”

"It turns out that you are from Wu Guo." Yiguang said softly, Gusu is the capital of Wu State, and from Gusu, he is naturally a native of Wu State.

"Girl...... But you hate the people of Wu Guo? Li Ze quietly held the dagger hidden in his sleeve as he spoke, once Yiguang wanted to be unfavorable to him, he could strike first, and he didn't want to lose his life again, benefactor and enemy have never been separated by a thin line!

"Nope." Yiguang shook his head and said: "Whether it is the people of the Yue country or the people of the Wu country, they are just poor people in this troubled world." ”

"The girl is so kind." Hearing this, Li Ze's eyes relaxed, and he slowly let go of the hand holding the dagger.

Yiguang didn't know that she had just walked around the ghost gate, she thought for a while, poured out two pills for angina pectoris from the bottle, put them in an empty porcelain bottle and handed them to Lize, "This is a medicine for heart disease, you take it, in case of recurrence, take one." ”

Li Ze took the medicine after a little hesitation, "Thank you, girl." ”

"Since you're okay, I should go too." Hearing Yiguang's farewell, Li Ze's heart was a little reluctant, he struggled to get up, took off a small bamboo flute that was only a finger long from his neck, rubbed it a few times, and handed it to Yiguang, "This is a relic left by my mother, and it is also the most valuable thing on my body, please accept it, and thank the girl for saving her life; If the girl comes to Gusu City in the future, she can blow this flute, and I will definitely come! ”

Yiguang waved his hand again and again, "This is too valuable, I can't accept it, so Childe should keep it for himself." ”

"In troubled times, everyone only seeks self-preservation, never cares about the lives of others, and it is even more rare for a girl like a girl to save people regardless of Wu Yue's differences; Compared to the grace of saving lives, this is nothing. Seeing that Yiguang still wanted to recommend it, he said: "What I took out, I never took it back." As he spoke, Li Ze couldn't help but stuff the bamboo flute into Yiguang's hand.

The touch of the skin made Yiguang Powder's face crimson, but fortunately, he couldn't see it through the veil, and bowed his head and said, "That...... Okay, I'll keep it on behalf of my son, and if I have the chance, I'll return it to my son. ”

Looking at Yiguang, who looked shy, Li Ze had an urge to take off his veil, but he was afraid that it would be too abrupt and disturb Yiguang.

"What's wrong with Childe?" Seeing that Li Ze was silent for a long time, Yiguang asked suspiciously.

Li Ze noticed his gaffe, his cheeks were slightly red, and he said uncomfortably: "It's not ...... It's okay, girl, hurry up and chase your family. After that, he glanced at the two men who came over in the distance, and his face was slightly gloomy, "In troubled times, you must be careful." ”

Yiguang turned around and left, just took a few steps, and heard the sound of two heavy objects falling to the ground behind him, and subconsciously looked back, only to see Li Ze kneeling on one knee, one hand on the ground, his arm trembling slightly, and a wisp of red blood overflowing from the corner of his lips.
