Chapter 22: Walking with Nobles (3)

Zhang Erzhen was a child's body, and soon closed his eyes tiredly, leaning on Zhu Youzhu and falling asleep. Zhu Youli closed his eyes and remained motionless, feeling the temperature coming from his side, and a strange warmth spread in his heart. This little fool, just fell asleep, and seeing how well she slept, she was not afraid that I would go away by myself and leave her here alone. I don't know that the world is ruthless, people's hearts are sinister, and the gentleness and thoughtfulness of the previous moment will become a murderous weapon, and it will come unexpectedly.

Nights always pass quickly, and when Zhang Erzhen wakes up with a sore neck, the sky has just dawned. Feeling her move, Zhu Youli opened his eyes and said, "Woke up?"

Zhang Erzhen turned her head to look at Zhu Youli in a daze, and it took a while before she came back and said, "Noble, you woke up quite early." ”

Zhu Youli stood up and rubbed his numb left arm and said, "You stay here, I'm going to the mountains." Later, I'll go out and find someone to send you back. ”

"I'm going to follow you, I'm out of the house, what's the matter if I give up halfway. Zhang Erzhen also stood up, picked up the hay on his body, and said to Zhu Youli.

Zhu Youli looked at her with disgust: "Even if you are not afraid of the fierce beasts in the mountains, but just like you, I don't want to go with you." ”

Zhang Erzhen looked at Zhu Youjiao, who was calm and relaxed, with neat hair in a bun and neat clothes, and then looked at himself, sloppy and sloppy, the difference between the two was cloudy and muddy. didn't say anything more, beat the robe again, untied the rope on his head and tied himself a ponytail again, and said with a smile: "Nobleman, it's okay, don't you go, if someone catches you and me in a while, won't you run this trip in vain." ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded, walked out of the grass hut and led the horse, raised his legs and got on the horse, and said, "Come up." ”

Zhang Erzhen stretched out her hand, Zhu Youzhu pulled her up with a force, and the two rode towards the big black mountain behind Xinghua Village.

"I heard from the villagers that this mountain is very big, and there are not only blind bears in the deep mountains, but also tigers and black wolves. I heard the wolf howl last night. ”

"With so many people coming with you, why don't you let them in and have a look, if the divine doctor is not inside, won't we be busy in vain. Are you sure the doctor is here?"

"Also, nobleman, if I have three long and two short, remember to tell my father how majestic and brave I am. But if you have a ......" Zhang Erzhen hadn't finished explaining, Zhu Youzhu had already gritted his teeth when he heard it, he lowered his head and looked at the back of Zhang Erzhen's head, and said, "Now you have two choices." ”

"Ahh

"Either go down on your own or shut up. ”

"But I'm here for ......"

"Drive!" Zhu Youzhu kicked the horse's belly violently, the horse ran fast, Zhang Erzhen clung to the rope tightly, and couldn't care about speaking.

The two ran all the way into the forest, and Zhu Youzhu didn't ask for directions, of course, no one asked, and went straight to the deepest part of the forest. Zhang Erzhen opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but she felt the powerful aura coming from behind her and stopped talking, forget it, his body has not been cured for so many years, and it is normal to be anxious.

After entering the forest for a while, Zhu Youzhu finally tightened the horse rope, jumped off the horse and pulled Zhang Erzhen down, tied the horse rope to a tall pine tree, and dragged Zhang Erzhen's sleeve to continue walking inside.

"Your honor, can we find it?" asked Zhang Erzhen, a little cautiously, because she sensed his nervousness.

"Yes. Zhu Youjiao said, and added after a while: "There will be no problem." ”

The two of them walked for another quarter of an hour, and the trees they saw grew denser and denser, and the towering trees reached into the sky, and the leaves were thickly stacked on top of each other, and now the day was already bright, but the forest was still gloomy, and it seemed that a wild beast would come from it in the next moment. Zhang Erzhen followed Zhu Youzhu closely and said curiously: "Have you ever been here?"

"I've heard of it. Zhu Youzhu simply returned to the end, walking faster and faster, his steps were so urgent and big, Zhang Erzhen almost couldn't keep up, and trotted out of breath.

"It's here. Zhu Youzhu finally stopped and pointed to the small thatched hut not far away.

Zhang Erzhen's red little face was covered with beads of sweat, and when he heard Zhu Youjiao's words, he looked over, and was overjoyed to see the dilapidated little thatched house.

Perhaps the sequelae of the famine have not yet dissipated, and along the way, Zhang Erzhen did not see a single live animal, no pheasants or hares, and only occasionally heard bird calls. Zhang Erzhen touched the silver on her body, she knew that she should bring some dry food, and she would not be so hungry.

The door of the small hut is rudimentary, symbolically hung on the fence. Zhu Youzhu stepped forward and knocked on the door and asked, "Doctor Li is here?"

Zhang Erzhen poked her head to look at it and whispered, "Where is there someone here, are you mistaken?" ”

Zhu Youzhu didn't answer, and after waiting for a while, the door of the thatched hut was opened. The visitor wore a square hat, a light-colored literati robe, and a pair of cotton shoes, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Two little brothers, what's the matter?"

"I am Zhu Youjiao, and the servant once came to ask the divine doctor to go to the house to see me, but the divine doctor refused, so I came to ask the divine doctor for consultation. Li Shaoxi looked at Zhu Youzhu carefully, and said helplessly for a while: "Come in." ”

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, a smell of medicine came to my nose. There were all kinds of herbs neatly laid in the small courtyard, which Zhang Erzhen basically didn't recognize, and then followed Zhu Youzhu with his head hanging down in a regular manner, and entered the main hall of the small thatched house.

Li Shaoxi took out two tea bowls, and put two steaming bowls of tea on the small table on the side of Zhu Youzhu and Zhang Erzhen. After Zhang Erzhen thanked him, he couldn't wait to drink the tea bowl, looked at the scattered bamboo leaves floating on it, and said with emotion: "The bamboo leaf tea here is different from the outside, and the fragrance is better." ”

Li Shaoxi touched his long hair and sat down, and said with a smile: "This little girl is full of energy, only her voice is slightly hoarse, presumably it is the cold wind blowing in the morning, and she has a small wind cold." ”

Zhang Erzhen hurriedly put down the tea bowl, pointed to the silent Zhu Youzhu on the side and said, "The divine doctor doesn't have to care about me, I have always been healthy." Ask the divine doctor to see what illness he has, and how can he be cured?"
