Ling Yun just ran two steps, but before a few big men could catch up, he was dizzy for a while, and then fell to the ground all of a sudden.
Several big men who were about to pounce were stunned for a moment, and one of them stepped forward, checked it carefully, got up and said, "There is an injury on the back." ”
The white-haired Gao Qianxue had already turned her head and asked anxiously, "Yi Gongzi will be fine, right?" ”
"It's not a fatal injury, but it has not been bandaged, and it has been soaked in the river for so long, and the cold wind has blown for so long, but it has aggravated a lot, and it must be treated immediately, otherwise it will be in danger of life."
"Then what are you waiting for, bring it back to the village for treatment immediately." Gao Qianxue immediately said.
The samurai Gao Ding frowned and reported: "Miss, he has a knife and arrow wound on his back, a new injury, and" He hesitated, but still told the truth, and in my experience, it was an unusual arrow wound, it was an arrow shot by a strong bow, and it was definitely not the bow and arrow of ordinary mountain bandits, it was a bow and arrow used in the army. ”
As soon as these words came out, Gao Qianxue and Gao Mingyue's faces changed slightly. Bows and arrows in the army, they know the meaning behind these words very well. After the current emperor established the Sui, he once issued an edict that private individuals were not allowed to privately possess broadswords and spears, strong bows and crossbows and armor, and violators were connected to the nine clans. The hunting bows used by ordinary mountain hunters are soft bows, and arrows are also common things. Even some bandits and strongmen are extremely difficult to possess the standard bows and arrows in the army. The arrow wound on this Yi Feng's body was injured by a bow and arrow in the army, so his identity is not simple.
"Miss, this person was injured not long ago, and it was the official army who couldn't get rid of him, and he may still be nearby. This person will be a nuisance, and I will leave this place immediately and not wade into this troubled water. ”
"No way!" Gao Qianxue shook her head, she couldn't do such a thing.
Gao Mingyue struggled a little in her heart, and reasoned to tell her that this Yi Feng was a trouble, and it would be a ** annoyance. But she also saw her sister's attitude, and she knew very well that her sister would never fall into the river like this today. After being rescued by this Yi Feng, Qianxue's mentality changed greatly, which was obviously related to this Yi Feng. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been forcing Yi Feng to give Qianxue before, and it can be seen that Qianxue didn't completely refuse this matter. She was in a dilemma, "Sister, taking him back may set us on fire, be implicated by him, and expose our identities." ”
"Take him with you and leave immediately, Gao Ding, you are responsible for cleaning up and leaving no traces." Gao Qianxue made a decision without question
Ling Yun opened his eyes and woke up, but what he saw was an antique room, and it was not a bed under him, but a wooden floor with a straw mat on it, like a tatami mat. His head hurt faintly, and he couldn't see the slightest hint of modernity in the room, and he looked down at himself, a set of white underwear, with a collar and tie, completely ancient costumes.
He closed his eyes and pinched himself, it hurt. Then I immediately remembered the previous memory, and it seemed that it was not a dream.
Lifted the quilt and sat up, there was no bed, no table or chairs in the room, but there was a small table on the side, on which was a set of folded clothes, a set of white robes, he could roughly see that this seemed to be the deep clothes in Hanfu. There was also a bronze mirror on the table, and the image in the mirror made him sigh, the same as what he saw when he was by the river, it was no longer a familiar self.
There was a white cloth wrapped diagonally around his shoulder, and the smell of the Chinese medicine village was revealed, and he reached out and touched it, and there was a faint pain in the bandage.
Pushing open the door, a burst of dazzling white light shone on, and Ling Yun subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it. When he got used to the light outside, he lowered his hand, and found himself in a mountain village full of ancient charm. There are courtyards one by one, blue bricks, green tiles and wooden buildings, as well as rockeries, ponds, corridors, and pavilions. But there is still no trace of modernity, no wires, no street lights, no cement, and some are just antique.
He took a breath and stepped out the door.
"Yi Gongzi, you're awake!" A somewhat familiar voice sounded, and Ling Yun only then realized that the little girl who had the audacity to say that he hugged and kissed their young lady last time by the river was standing in front of him with a tray on it, and there was a steaming medicine bowl on it, exuding bursts of special smell of Chinese medicine.
The little girl looked at Ling Yun's gaze and was actually a little embarrassed, "Yi Gongzi, why did you come out, you just suffered such a serious injury, and you suffered from wind and cold, you just woke up, how can you blow the wind, go back and lie down." As he spoke, he stared directly at Ling Yun's open chest muscles a few times. Then he put down the medicine bowl when he entered the house, turned around and came out to help him into the house.
The little girl looks like she is thirteen or fourteen years old, petite and cute, but a little bold and straightforward. Put one of his arms on her shoulder, and one hand on his waist, his head just reached his chest, and a pair of maiden buns on his head stood like two sheep's horns, Ling Yun couldn't help but reach out and pull a few times, the little girl screamed in pain, making him sure that this hair was indeed real, this discovery made him feel a little more lost in his heart, and faintly excited.
"What's your name?"
"Mulan!" After the little girl helped Ling Yun to lie back on the seat, her face was a little red, and she didn't know if it was because she was struggling to support her just now, or because she peeked at Ling Yun's half-naked and sturdy figure, or because Ling Yun pulled his hair and looked at her unscrupulously, when she answered, her tone was a little heavier, and she even stared back at him with wide eyes.
Mulan served him in the house to finish the medicine, and then talked to him again, and left, just to tell Miss Sù that he had woken up.
The room was silent again, and Ling Yun lay down, a little distracted.
With a long sigh, Ling Yun now finally had some understanding of his situation, and he was no longer in the dark with his eyes dark, and he was ignorant.
It was no longer the familiar world, just as he was no longer the same self he used to be.
This is the Great Sui, the Great Sui Dynasty more than 1,400 years ago, the Great Sui Empire that ended the division of the Western Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties for nearly 400 years and reunified China.
Now, it is the eighteenth year of the opening of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the eighteenth year of the Sui Emperor Wen Emperor Yang Jian usurped Zhou Lisui.
Twenty-two years ago, the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Qi, eighteen years ago, Yang Jian usurped Zhou Lisui, eleven years ago, Sui merged Western Liang, and nine years ago, Sui Ping Southern Chen.
The place where he is staying now is Gaojiazhuang, not far from the Jiangdu in Yangzhou, Jiangnan, and the owner of Gaojiazhuang is the white-haired beautiful woman he saved that day. She has a nice name, Gao Qianxue. And he can also hear it from the little girl's mouth, Gao Qianxue has had snow-white skin since she was a child, and even her hair is white as soon as she starts. That arrogant Gao Mingyue is not Gao Qianxue's own sister, I heard that she is Gao Qianxue's distant cousin. The Gao family is said to have lived in Hebei, north of the Yellow River, before migrating to Jiangnan to escape the war. However, I heard that the parents of the Gao Qianxue sisters died in the war when they went south, and the sisters were taken by their old family to flee to the south, and finally bought a piece of land in Yangzhou to settle down.
However, Ling Yun always felt that this little girl's words were not true, as far as he saw by the river that day, Gao Qianxue's family had such a big mansion, and those strong families, how could it be so simple? Ordinary manor landlords can't have such a strong family, and they can all ride horses with knives.
While thinking wildly, there was a knock on the door, and Gao Mingyue walked in with two mothers-in-law and a few maids. The mother-in-law was still holding a number of trays in their hands, covered with red cloths.
"Yi Feng, you're finally awake." Gao Mingyue looked at Ling Yun with a smile on her face, but this smile made Ling Yun feel a little ill-willed, like a weasel greeting a chicken.
Thinking of the day when she forced him to join the family, and if she refused to kill and throw away the corpse, Ling Yun couldn't laugh, and nodded vigilantly: "Thank you Miss Gao for saving me, I am grateful." ”
"It's going to be a family right away, so you don't have to be so polite. It's good to wake up, Mulan, go and ask Dr. Qian to come over again for diagnosis and diagnosis, but there can be no recurrence. If you pass out again during the visit, it will be a joke. Gao Mingyue said proudly to Mulan on the side, those eyes seemed to say to Ling Yun: "Aren't you willing to die or disobey, and you have to jump into the river, this time you are running, see where you run." ”
"Chapel, what chapel?"
"Of course, it is a great joy for you and your sister, brother-in-law, Zhuang Shang is ready, Gao Bodu specially went to Jiangdu City to ask someone to calculate, tomorrow is the auspicious day of the zodiac, the most suitable for marriage. You see, I have brought all the things you are going to use for tomorrow's great joy, and you are ready to prepare, and when the auspicious time arrives tomorrow, you and your sister will go into the cave with your sister. ”
Damn, Ling Yun couldn't help but curse in his heart, it's really endless. "Who promised to marry your sister!"
"Wrong!" Gao Mingyue immediately corrected: "It's not that you marry my sister, but that you join our Gaojiazhuang, and the difference is very big." ”
"Whoever promised to join Gaojiazhuang and who went to Gaojiazhuang, Lao Tzu didn't agree!" The dignified man was forced into the fold, and there was no such thing anywhere. Although it is said that Gao Qianxue is very beautiful, no one wants to buy and sell it.
"You have to promise if you promise, you have to promise if you don't agree, you treat my sister like that, you have ruined her reputation, and you still want to repay the debt? What's more, my sister has accepted all the things you love, do you still want to regret it at this time? ”
"What is the object of love?"
"Your portable jade pendant!" Gao Mingyue said proudly. "Yi Feng, don't be cheap and sell well, my sister's fairy-like character, willing to fancy you is a blessing that you have cultivated in several lifetimes, don't be content. Rest well, don't miss tomorrow's good day! After speaking, she lifted the corner of her skirt and walked out with the group of mothers-in-law who put down the tray of joyful things.
As soon as I went out, the door slammed shut, and even locked!
Only Ling Yun was left alone, facing the wedding supplies such as red wedding dresses, jade crowned hats, etc., in the room, stunned on the spot!
