Chapter 7 Departure (3)
Dao Yan later learned from Hong Yuanqi that when Hong Yuanxi was tortured, the people of the Yuan Dynasty were tired and asked people to get some water to quench their thirst, and the governor of the fortress said that the stored drinking water had been used up, and the newly arrived water would need to wait for another two days to drink, and the people of the Yuan Dynasty complained that they were not allowed to drink alcohol and there was no water to drink. So he told the governor of the fortress to let him feed the newly brought water to the elephants carrying the water, even if the water carrier could take the antidote in advance, but who would feed the antidote to the animals, at that time the fortress had limited the amount of water for several days, the chief was also thirsty, so he agreed. Seeing that everything was fine after the elephant drank water, the officers and soldiers began to drink new water. Dao Yan thought to himself: Thanks to the master's thoughtfulness at the beginning, he was very lucky, otherwise he would not have lost a few lives.
After a day and a night of travel, the group arrived at the agreed rendezvous point with Cortilia but found it empty, and since the rescue operation was two days earlier than planned, they decided to rest and wait here. Due to the 'bodhicitta protection' of Dao Yan's body, although the injury was serious, it was not life-threatening, but Hong Yuanxuan had begun to have a fever and fell into a coma, although the Moon Divine Clan picked some herbs along the road to heal his injuries, but with little effect. Just when he was in danger, someone noticed that someone was rushing towards him in the distance. For safety, Singh ordered everyone to hide in the nearby woods for the time being, and when it became clear that the two people walking in front of the group were Amir and Kautilla, everyone cheered and rushed out of the woods to reunite with their families. Paya didn't find Daoyan among the crowd who rushed out, and hurriedly ran against the flow of people into the woods, but saw Singh running towards her in a hurry, following the direction he was running from, Paya finally found that the person who haunted her was lying motionless under the tree with another person, Paya didn't know what was happening, so she cried and ran towards Daoyan, and she didn't even have time to pay attention to Singh, who was rushing towards her. Seeing her sweetheart covered in bruises but still looking at her with a smile on her face, Paya fell into tears beside Dao Yan.
"I don't want you to do such a dangerous thing for me anymore, I don't want you to take such a risk again." Paya said with tears in her eyes.
"This is what you did for your people, I promised you, we are all back." Dao Yan said with a smile.
Singh arrived with Cortilia and Amir, and Dao Yan signaled that he was okay and asked them to help Hong Yuanjun heal his injuries first. Cortilia smiled and said: You really don't need me to treat him, so he ordered someone to carry Hong Yuanlu out of the woods, surrounded this place with a woven carpet, everyone withdrew from the woods, and ordered the clan guards to stand guard, and no one was allowed to enter.
Paya gently raised her jade-white arm, and several butterflies immediately circled and fluttered around it, and a colorful bird flew from the sky and landed on the palm of her hand. Paya held the bird in her hand and gently placed it on Daoyan's chest, but the bird fluttered its wings and flew away.
"Could it be that the bloody aura on my body is too heavy, and this little bird seems to be very afraid of me." Dao Yan said.
"Hey, it's all my fault, let you do such a heavy killing, from now on I will do more good deeds to accumulate virtue and pray for you, and ask the moon god to bless you with a safe life." Paya said with self-pity, leaning her head along Daoyan's arm towards his shoulder.
"This pair of secret cultivation techniques is really magical, such a serious injury can be healed quickly." Dao Yan raised one arm and looked at the wound that was healing rapidly, and said in surprise.
Paya shy and mischievous put her mouth to Dao Yan's ear and whispered fragrantly: "Do you want to treat it again and see if there is a more miraculous effect?" ”
Joyful laughter echoed in the forest, more and more butterflies fluttered around the carpet, and the forest seemed to be full of flowers, and the rich fragrance was wafting in all directions with the breeze.
Paya tied up Daoyan's long hair with her veil, and after helping him arrange his clothes, the two walked hand in hand and walked out of the forest.
Singh was walking anxiously outside the forest, and when he saw his sister and Dao Yan coming out, he hurriedly rushed forward.
"Sister, I miss you so much." Singh said happily.
"Sister misses you too, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you have become such a good warrior." Paya said proudly.
"It's a long way from Brother Yun, sister, you can't even imagine, Brother Yun carried his brother behind his back, unarmed and killed hundreds of armed soldiers, brave like the legendary eagle god, and the warriors of the whole clan admired him like a god." Singh said to Paya while gesturing.
"Your big brother Yun is the god who protects my clan." Paya said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, Brother Yun is a god." Singh laughed and stuck out his tongue.
"By the way, the patriarch and the guru have asked you to come out and go to them, as if there is something important to discuss with you." Singh continued.
"Little brother, where is that seriously injured Brother Hong?" Dao Yan didn't bother when he saw the two sisters and brothers talking just now, so he asked.
"Just call me Singh, Brother Hong is also with the patriarch, you should be able to see him when you go." Singh replied.
When he came to Amir's fire, he saw that Amir, Kautilea, and Joseph were all there, and knew that there must be something important to discuss, but he did not see Hong Yuanxi, so he looked around again.
"Your brother Hong is fine, he needs to rest in the tent after treatment, and he will be cured in about twenty days." Cortilia said to Dow.
"Thank you, Master." Dao Yan Shi Li said.
"Thank me for what, you weren't cured by me." Cortilia smiled slightly. Amir and Joseph laughed along.
Paya no longer had a headscarf at this time, and her blushing cheeks looked very charming against the firelight, and Dao Yan also blushed and pulled Paya to sit down together.
"Singh told us everything that happened, there is no danger, Ah Yan is a little impulsive, but it also shows that you are a man who values love and righteousness. Let's talk about what's next. Kautilla said.
"The next step is to enter Wusizang through a secret mountain pass that only our clan knows, and after passing through Wusizang, we will go to the western Yunnan region of the Yuan Dynasty." Amir said as he drew a picture with a cigarette stick on the ground.
"Will the people of the people go over the mountains and mountains too hard, from here there is a port to the south, we take a boat to land in Champa, and then change boats to go up the river, and after going deep into Yunnan Province, we only need to walk a short distance by land to reach western Yunnan, but the tribesmen can save a lot of labor." Joseph continued with Amir's drawing, and spoke as he drew it.
Amir took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "Your boy was born in a peaceful day, and he has not yet experienced migration, don't you find that the emotions of the people are extremely active now?" ”
"That's true, I thought it was because of the reunion of the imprisoned relatives, but it seems that there are other reasons." Dao Yan Dao.
"Of course, that's the most important reason, but there's another reason." Amir said with a smile, took another puff of cigarette and continued: "According to the rules of the clan, our people must be diligent and thrifty when they settle down to save money for migration, so despite the income of the clan merchants, all the clansmen still live a simple and simple life, but as long as they decide to migrate, they can disguise themselves as traveling caravans and enjoy a luxurious journey, all expenses are paid by the clan, so everyone looks forward to this trip as if they are preparing for the festival." ”
"Rest assured, the patriarch can rest assured, the belongings prepared before originally contained gifts for the monarchs and officials of various countries along the road, and now they can all be used as travel expenses, and after arriving in the Yuan Dynasty, I will inform the local chamber of commerce, and I will definitely let all the clansmen enjoy a perfect trip like a noble lord."
"Then we'll wait to see your ability as a general merchant, and when the whole clan settles down, I will use the clan's funds to compensate for your expenses." Amir said with a smile on his cigarette.
"What is the patriarch talking about, this is what our clan merchants should do, otherwise why would we make so much gold and silver." Joseph said solemnly.
"Okay, okay, we'll talk about the funds later, then from now on, you can be the guide and take us on an extraordinary journey." Amir happily spat on the smoke ring, and everyone happily began to plan a new journey.
