In a small wooden house on the outskirts of Fengyang, the bitterness of the medicinal soup did not dissipate for half a month, and the autumn wind was bleak, blowing Yu Lu's palms cold, but he still walked to the courtyard against the wind, picked up the axe, and sat to chop wood.

The medicinal soup was gurgling beside him, Yu Lu hadn't done such rough work for several years, and he had blistered blood on his hands when he had been working recently.

Another gust of wind blew, Yu Lu turned his head to look, saw that the window was tightly closed, and put his mind at ease and continued to add fire and boil medicine.

There was no wind blowing in the house, but it was not cold, but the sound of the wind could penetrate in, and Yu Zhao, who had been lying for several days, opened his eyes drowsily, propped himself up and got out of bed, leaning against the wall to find out. "Mother?"

When Yu Lu heard the sound, he immediately got up, limped into the house, and said urgently: "Zhaozhao, my mother is here, don't come out, it's not good to blow the wind and get cold again." ”

After opening the door, Yu Lu hurriedly helped Yu Zhao to sit down and carefully put clothes on her. "You are weak, the doctor said that you can't make up for your illness and can't make up for it, you have to get better quickly, and my mother will make it up for you slowly."

didn't care what she said, Yu Zhao stared at her with scars on her hands, reached out to take her hand and looked at it carefully, and responded with his mouth: "It's okay, I feel much better today, but it's just that it's going to be difficult for my mother to run with me again." If we go to Yanling Kingdom, we can settle down. ”

With this one daughter in this life, Yu Lu has always loved her wholeheartedly and relied on everything. But I was afraid that Yu Zhao had been sick for half a month, and he couldn't stand the bumps of the boat, so he couldn't help but worry: "Zhaozhao, can you leave again after a while, your body is not finished yet, if you are sick again, my mother will feel uncomfortable." ”

Yu Lu didn't know anything about everything that happened before, so he was naturally curious. But when the mother and daughter reunited after a long absence, after seeing Yu Zhao, they only asked one question, and Yu Zhao couldn't stop crying.

As a mother, Yu Lu saw Yu Zhao so depressed for the first time in his life, and then he had a rare serious illness. I was so distressed that I didn't dare to ask again, I just wanted that no matter what happened in this life, I would be safe and sound.

Even though he had been peaceful for most of the month and did not perceive any danger, Yu Zhao was still uneasy in his heart, feeling that as long as he was in the territory of Dachu in this life, he could not let go of his hanging heart, and since his heart could not be settled, how could he live a stable life.

Seriously ill and not forgetting to think about it, Yu Zhao thought about it for a long time recently, and finally made a decision to take Yu Lu to the most inconspicuous Yanling small country to settle down. Secretly planned, when I got up today, I felt that I was better and could walk, so I told Yu Lu.

Seeing that Yu Lu's face was full of worry, Yu Zhao held her hand and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, mother, I know my body and can hold it." Simply pack your things and let's go tonight. ”

Knowing that no one could be stubborn about her, Yu Lu nodded helplessly, and went out to bring in the medicine for Yu Zhao to drink, and then went out to clean up.

The rice fields in the distance were golden, the autumn breeze was blowing, setting off layers of wheat waves, Yu Zhao put on his clothes, opened the window, and saw the sun for the first time in these days.

Accustomed to the light, Yu Zhao put on his cloak again, took the curtain fence, greeted the inside, went out, and walked towards the city. Yu Lu hurriedly chased her out and stopped her: "Zhaozhao, it's good for my mother to invite the groom, you don't have to go there in person." ”

Yu Zhao replied: "No need, this trip is far away, I went to the city dart shop to invite a few knights to accompany me, and invited the groom by the way." ”

Such details, Yu Lu didn't calculate, thinking of the priceless objects in the house and his daughter's flower and moon appearance, if he was robbed on the road, I was afraid that he would not be able to protect it desperately. Listening to her proposal, I also felt that this move was very necessary, but I was not good at negotiating with people, so I could only let Yu Zhao go, and only instructed: "Then go early and come back early, my mother will pack up and wait for you to come back, and we will leave." ”

Yu Zhao nodded in agreement and walked towards the city.

Fengyang is not as good as Jingzhou, a small county, dart gambling house, Qinglou, etc., but there is only one place, so the people in the city can help point out the place when they hear the passers-by ask what they want to do. Yu Zhao followed the guidance all the way, and easily found the only dart game in the county.

I was about to step forward and knock on the door, but before I got closer, I saw that the door of the dart game opened by itself, and several fierce-looking strong men threw out two women, one of whom seemed to have been broken, and his brows furrowed in pain, and he couldn't speak.

The other was furious, kicked down the stone lion at the door, and a loud noise frightened the passers-by to hide far away, only to hear the woman scold: "No conscience! You will be punished! ”

After speaking, he went to pick up the woman with the broken hand on the ground, and wanted to leave with a sad face. Yu Zhao hesitated for a moment, and then stopped: "Girl, stay." ”

Hearing the call, the two women turned their heads and asked suspiciously, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Yu Zhao approached, pointed to the dart game behind them, and asked, "The family is going on a trip, and I want to ask a few knights to escort me, can you ask the girl how the people in this dart game are doing?" ”

When the girl heard this, she was so anxious that she almost jumped up, and said eagerly while gesturing: "You must not believe the people here, they are vain, they start to talk to you well, and they will increase the price halfway, and they have no conscience!" ”

After speaking, as if he was very disgusted, he snorted at the sign.

Seeing that the woman she was holding was in a cold sweat, and her broken hand was swollen to a high age, obviously injured for two or three days. Yu Zhao felt that it was inconvenient to delay their time more. He thanked him: "Thank you girl for telling me, let's send this girl to the hospital first." ”

Hearing this, the woman's face was worried, and there was a hint of embarrassment, and after a while, she spoke weakly: "We don't have any money." ”

Suddenly, he looked at Yu Zhao, his eyes lit up and asked, "Why don't you ask me to escort me, just give me food and treat my sister's injuries, I don't want a penny." ”

In this meeting, Yu Zhao felt familiar, remembering that Yu Lu was seriously ill back then, and he had begged others like this in despair. But there was no response.

empathized, Yu Zhao couldn't bear it, and took out the silver to her.

The man didn't answer, but said: "You go to the hospital with me, just help pay for the medicine when the time comes, and I will go home with you directly, and I will keep my word!" ”

"No need," Yu Zhao's hand did not retract, he thought for a moment, and took out another ingot. "She has a serious hand injury, I'm afraid she needs someone to take care of her, you stay with her, I'll hire someone myself, don't worry about the price."

"You're so rich!" As if thinking it was strange, the girl became interested and said in surprise to the person who was holding her: "Lotus leaf, we have met a kind person!" ”

The person who was being supported was in great pain, and when he heard the words, he strengthened his spirit and thanked him weakly.

Yu Zhao nodded in response, turning around to enter the dart game. I didn't want to but the girl was pulled back, and I saw that she looked serious. "Let me tell you, you can't look for them if you have money, they are insatiable and will do anything for money."

Yu Zhao has always been cautious, and when she said this, he wanted to inquire carefully before making a decision. So I walked with them, asking for advice as we went.

The girl has a hearty temperament, does not recognize life, and can't stop talking as soon as she speaks: "My name is Lotus Flower, my sister's name is Lotus Leaf, our father is the dart player hired by the dart board, and our sisters live in it with him on weekdays." The style of the dart game has always been unbearable, and my father can't get used to it, and he doesn't agree with them, and he offends many people. A few days ago, my father accidentally fell off the balcony and unfortunately passed away, my sister and I were kicked out by them, they dominated our belongings, we went to ask for it several times, they refused to give it, and injured my sister. ”

Yu Zhao asked, "Do you have any other relatives?" ”

Lotus Flower shook her head and replied with a bitter face: "My sister and I are twins, and the two of us have been raised by my father since we were children. The dart bureau has a big business, and there are some powerful people in Toyosu, so they greeted everyone and told everyone not to hire us to do things. It's so embarrassing. ”

Knowing the situation of the two of them, Yu Zhao remembered the courage of Fang Lotus Flower when he kicked down the stone lion, and he was thinking all the way.

When I arrived at the medical hall, I sat down and waited, taking advantage of the doctor's time to treat lotus leaves, Yu Zhao tried to make an invitation: "My family is just me and my mother, and I have some money and wealth, so I can be regarded as worry-free about food and clothing." But if you want to go to Yanling Country to settle down, if you don't dislike it, you two sisters, are you willing to follow? ”

"Okay!" Lotus Flower has a cheerful personality, agrees happily, and feels a little hasty, looks at the lotus leaf that is being bandaged next to her, and asks: "Sister, what do you think?" ”

Gritting his teeth and enduring the pain of the bones, Lianye has been listening carefully to the conversation between the two people next to him, thinking for a moment, nodding slightly, and replied with difficulty: "Since my father's death, the two of us have no concern, the girl is a kind person, as long as she is willing to give my two sisters a place to stay, she will definitely know her kindness, and life and death will accompany her." ”

Hearing her answer, Lotus Flower seemed to be very happy, and began to boast: "I am very good, I can ride a horse and drive anything, you invited me, and I saved a lot of money." ”

The delicate and cute appearance made people feel kind, Yu Zhao nodded in response, patiently waited for the lotus leaf's injury to be treated, and returned the same way with the lotus lotus leaf.
