Chapter 170: A Serious Illness
Xia Qing was sick, lying in the carriage in a daze, like a walking corpse without thinking and consciousness, and often slept for most of the day.
Shi Xuanxuan washed her face with tears and stayed by Xia Qing's side day and night. In a trance, Xia Qing couldn't think of anything, only knew that when she opened her eyes, Shi Xuanxuan was helping her massage her sour and numb body;
"Grandma, don't go. ”
"Grandma'......"
Xia Qing talked in his dreams from time to time, and he was half-asleep all the time, feeling that he had a long, long nightmare.
It's been a long time, and I don't know how many days have passed, before Xia Qing really woke up. When I opened my eyes, I saw that I had arrived at the Shanren Inn in Wuzhou, Shi Xuanxuan was lying on the side of the bed and fell asleep, her hair was messy and unkempt, and she seemed to be tired. However, maybe it was because he had a good heart, or maybe he had been worried about Xia Qing's body, and he quickly noticed Xia Qing's movements, "Childe, are you awake?"
"Well, Sister Xuanxuan, how long have I been asleep?" Xia Qing struggled to sit up, feeling that her hands and feet were sore and weak, and she seemed to be seriously ill.
"It's been almost half a month, Childe, this is the medicinal tea that my aunt brewed for you, I'll warm it up for you to drink." ”
Shi Xuanxuan helped Xia Qing to lean on the pillow, and when she saw Xia Qing wake up, she seemed to be energetic all of a sudden, like a hard-working little bee, quickly put the medicinal tea on the stove and brought it over, and fed Xia Qing with a spoon to drink.
After drinking half a bowl of medicinal tea, Xia Qing felt much better, and faintly heard the sound of Zhao Dazui in the front yard, and the sound of clanging iron came from the wing room, and Lu Maniac continued to strike iron. The cold wind was howling outside the window, and the snowflakes were floating, and winter had finally arrived.
"Sister Xuanxuan, do you respect them?" Xia Qing asked.
"After sending us to the foot of Beacon Mountain, the master and the others left, and your father and eldest brother also left, and turned around and went to the vast desert near the small city of Xihaiyuan. Shi Xuanxuan took a hot towel to wipe Xia Qing's hands and said, "As for your clan and the people in King Xia's mansion, my aunt arranged for them to be in a small mountain village nearby, which is very remote and safe. ”
"What about Yan Guo?" Xia Qing asked.
"This ......"
Shi Xuanxuan hesitated a little, but after thinking about it, she still told the truth, some things couldn't be hidden at all, "The Dakang Dynasty has a strong army, and this time it is claimed that there are three million elite soldiers. Now, the Western Regions Frontier Region has been completely incorporated into the territory of the Great Kang Dynasty, all the vassal states are gone, and the cultivation sects of all sizes are gone. There were more and more soldiers gathered at the foot of the mountain, and it was rumored that the Dakang Dynasty was going to invade Wuzhou in one go. ”
"All gone?"
Xia Qing's face was bitter, he had no interest in worldly things, and he never thought of becoming the next King of Yan, but after knowing that the Yan Kingdom was destroyed, his heart was still very uncomfortable. The ancestors of the Xia family in the past generations struggled and struggled, and paid for the Yan Kingdom with an unknown amount of blood and life, but it was gone, and no one was comfortable. Suddenly, Xia Qing understood why Lao Taijun would rather * than leave Xia Wangfu, it was because Xia Wangfu poured too much blood into her and spent her life in Xia Wangfu. It was her home, and the only place she cared about.
"Childe, this is the letter that the old lady handed over to you when she got rid of her aunt. ”
Shi Xuanxuan took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Xia Qing, with the words 'Qing'er personally opened' written on the envelope.
Seeing things and thinking about people, looking at the old lady's handwriting, Xia Qing's eyes turned red again.
"Qing'er, when you read this letter, grandma is probably no longer alive, don't be sad for grandma, please forgive grandma for her selfishness, I can't continue to accompany you, I can't watch you start a family, this is grandma's dereliction of duty. ”
"There's one thing we've been hiding from you, and now it's time to tell you. Qing'er, in fact, you and your eldest brother Yuanba are not brothers, they are an orphan brought back from Wuzhou by your father. That year, your father led his subordinates to Wuzhou to hunt, and was attracted to the depths of Wuzhou by a wisp of piano sound, met the newborn you by the Luoshui River, and then brought you back to the Xia Palace. On the night you first arrived at Xia Wang's Mansion, your little face was black and blue, so grandma named you Xia Qing. ”
"Qing'er, when you were still very young, grandma saw that you were different from your eldest brother, and your fate did not belong to Yan Kingdom and Xia Wangfu, but to Wuzhou. No matter how well we hide it, one day you will know the truth. So, after grandma died, you can gallop in Wuzhou to your heart's content, there is no intrigue, no family hatred and national hatred, that is the world that belongs to you, let go and explore the mysteries of cultivation, find your mother. It's just that if one day your eldest brother Yuanba is in trouble, I hope you will help him for grandma's sake; ”
"People's hearts are more difficult to fathom than fate, Qing'er, whoever is good to you, you will be kind to whom, stay away from those who are not good to you, no matter who the other party is. If one day you encounter a problem that you can't solve, you can release the paper crane inside the envelope, and this paper crane will lead you to Mr. Shui Jing. ”
"Finally, Qing'er, please don't be sad for grandma, and you don't have to go to Fufeng City to pay tribute to grandma. If you must come back to Fufeng City to pay respects, grandma hopes that you will not be alone, but bring your wife and children back, and tell grandma while burning paper that the Qing'er I love the most in my life has become a family. ”
The old lady didn't say much, and the handwriting was even a little sloppy, and every word was a little crooked. It seems that this letter was written by her lying on the hospital bed, and it was a special letter left to Xia Qing.
Xia Qing looked very slowly, his eyes were red, and he endured it with all his might, but he endured it, and the tears still couldn't help but flow down, dripping on the letterhead.
There are some things, in fact, Xia Qing has vaguely known for a long time, and his appearance is too far from his eldest brother Xia Yuanba. In retrospect, although he was not a close relative of Xia Wangfu, the love he received from the old lady was still above his eldest brother Xia Yuanba. When I was a child, when the two brothers quarreled and quarreled, the old lady always favored herself.
"Grandma'......"
Xia Qing's tears blurred, and she missed the old lady even more.
Shi Xuanxuan's eyes were also red, when Xia Qing was happy, she was also very happy, and when Xia Qing was sad, she was even more sad than Xia Qing, "Childe, the old lady will definitely not sacrifice in vain, Shizun They have returned to the main altar and gathered all the masters of the Heaven and Earth Alliance who have retreated and practiced outside, and are ready to assassinate Zhao Zixuan, the emperor of Dakang, and let this tyrant pay for his dead brothers!"
Zhao ...... Child...... Xuan!"
Xia Qing paused word by word, carefully folded the old lady's handwritten letter, the movement was very light, but the eyes were very scary, the heart was murderous, and the fire in the body was burning.
The Yan Kingdom has fallen, and Xia Qing has little interest in recovering the country, but Zhao Zixuan, the Emperor of Dakang, must be killed!
Shi Xuanxuan's heart suddenly felt a little uneasy, she was frightened by Xia Qing's gaze, and knew that she had said the wrong thing, "Childe, the matter of assassinating Emperor Dakang, Shizun will deal with it, you are still very weak, don't ......"
"Sister Xuanxuan, don't worry, I know my own situation. ”
"Zhao Zixuan must die, but not now, I won't act recklessly. Now, I'm going to practice. ”
Xia Qing got out of bed and put on the starting posture of the Eternal Night Horror Fist, with monstrous anger in his heart, but his face was calm, turning all the resentment and anger into the driving force for cultivation.
"Childe, don't forget to drink plenty of water and rest. ”
Shi Xuanxuan whispered, turned around and closed the room and left, with some worry in her eyebrows. It's not that I'm worried that Xia Qing will be lazy when he cultivates, but I'm worried that he's working too hard.
