283 Lu
On the edge of the mighty river, there is a wooden ferry in the pile of yellow reeds, which is not small in scale and can accommodate more than a dozen boats.
The people dragged the woman who was going to dip the pig cage to dip the river here. Not only did they not feel unlucky, but they also felt that this woman was a sacrifice to the river god, and even set up the altar early and invited a Taoist priest to do it.
Xiao Nan followed all the way in a carriage, and the carriage happened to stop a little higher on the shore. The water here is not very turbulent either, and the water is crystal clear, but it also shows that the water is very deep. Xiao Nan lifted the curtain and looked out along the curtain, only to see that the woman was finally escorted out of the prison car.
She had been stripped of her clothes, her body was very dirty, and there were many dried blood wounds, her hair was scattered, and her hands were tied behind her back with hemp rope.
As soon as she came out, people pointed at her and hurled insults at her, and two men kicked her in the leg to make her kneel and put heavy stone locks around her neck. The Taoist priest who was invited then recited the words and began to practice.
At this time, Wanyue, who had changed into a traditional dress, had already ridden a horse, and Xiao Xiao rode to the ferry, and Xiao Xiao shouted from afar: "Keep people!" Keep people! ”
Everyone looked at him, Xiao Xiao jumped off the horse and shouted, "My father wants to buy this woman, don't sink her!" ”
An old villager on crutches and wearing a robe and horse coat shook the ground heavily with his dragon head cane and said, "Ah! Where did the shaft come from! This demon woman violates ethics, and the ancestral decree does not allow her to be humiliated! No matter how much money you give, it's useless! She must sink into the river today in order to be normal! ”
"Isn't it really worth a lot of money?" Wanyue said, "Can't you buy her with a gold bar?" ”
"You woman! I don't know the shame of showing my head! Men talk, when will it be your turn to interject! "The old man despised Wanyue very much.
"Don't say one gold bar, not a hundred! Hurry up and do it! Method! The old man shouted.
The woman kneeling on the ground suddenly sneered: "Zhou Xiucai! Those dirty things you did! Which one is not against human morality! You ......"
Before she finished speaking, the old man ordered his subordinates to beat her palms and mouths, and her mouth was bloody, her cheeks were swollen, and she fainted.
I saw that the Taoist priest was holding a peachwood sword, jumped in a circle, and shouted: "This woman is the reincarnation of the ninth fox spirit!" Call her in her original form at noon today! ”
After that, he picked up a pot of talisman ashes that had just been burned, and poured them all on the woman's back, and the hot and unconscious woman woke up with a scream, but when she woke up, she was also beaten by a Taoist priest with a peachwood sword to her head and face.
Wanyue gritted her teeth and was about to take out a gun to stop it, but who knows, at this time, there was a gust of wind, and the originally withered reeds were somehow blown up by a burst of misty reeds.
The woman spat blood from her mouth, clutched the wooden plank on the ground, gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "Oh my God!! If you have a spirit!! Call me a ghost!! Death will not spare these demons!! ”
The harder the Taoist priest hit, the more tragic she screamed, and the snowy reeds seemed to sense her shout, and they were all stuck to the Taoist priest's face, and the old Taoist kept grabbing them, trying to catch them all, but one of them slipped and fell into the water.
Those fluttering reeds suddenly became a thousand pounds, and he continued to sink, and disappeared in an instant.
"Hmm!" Xiao Nan suddenly grabbed the edge of the window and held his forehead.
"What's wrong with you?" Miao Feng said with concern.
"It's nothing, my physical body can't convey the Fuxi factor so far, three hundred feet seems to be my limit." Xiao Nan gasped slightly.
"Don't push yourself." Miao Feng held his shoulders and said, "Don't abuse your abilities. ”
Because of the strange wind, the reed flowers seemed to become extremely heavy, and the onlookers thought that they were angry with some spirit, and seeing that Lao Dao was drowning, the others were so frightened that they scattered and fled.
On the contrary, only Wanyue Xiao Xiao and the dying woman were left on the ferry.
The woman was wrapped in her cloak and sent to the carriage by Wan Yue, who originally wanted to take her back to the inn to find a doctor to treat her injuries, but as soon as they returned to the inn, the innkeeper did not let them in, saying that the woman was unlucky, and told them to find another place.
The boatman who had originally made an appointment, because they took this woman with them, was reluctant to start work, and asked them to find another boat by themselves.
made Xiao Nan and his party toss for most of the day, and they could only stay overnight at the ferry.
Originally, at least I could spend two days in the inn safely, and then take the boat smoothly.
Now there is nothing.
The superstitious village and town residents were resolutely unwilling to accept this woman, let alone let Xiao Nan live in.
Fortunately, there is still a carriage, and the drivers of the carriage are also very dedicated to Xiao Nan because Xiao Nan is very caring and generous on weekdays. They knew that Xiao Nan was kind enough to save the woman, and they also knew about the bad habits of the locals, so they helped Zhang Luo sleep in the open. These coachmen have been running the rivers and lakes all year round, and they are well prepared, but they have made the temporary camp very well.
Xiao Nan was weak and could only live in a carriage for the night, while everyone else slept around the fire.
The woman was treated by Lin Yi, who brought some medical supplies, but she had a high fever, her body kept swinging, and she couldn't keep warm even if she was next to the fire outside, the carriage that Xiao Nan was riding in was spacious and warm and comfortable, and at Xiao Nan's request, the woman was carried into his carriage, covered with two layers of quilts.
The carriage, which could hold two or three people, was much more crowded.
The woman's heavy wheezing sound made the carriage seem a little unusually "noisy", but soon, she gradually lost her life, Xiao Nan carefully observed her face, even if her mouth and cheeks were red and swollen, she could still see that she was really one in a million beauties, in this kind of world, beauty often brings bad luck to women.
"If I heal her with the power of Fuxi, she may be changed by me, and the result will be like Wanyue, her fate will be completely derailed." Xiao Nan looked at her sleeping face and said in her heart.
His hand almost covered her forehead, but eventually withdrew.
I saw him casually push open the car window, the night breeze blew into a wisp of reeds, gently falling on his fingertips, he lowered his head and gently touched the soft reed flowers with his lips, the reeds emitted a glimmer that can only be seen in the dark, and slowly floated to the woman's forehead and fell.
"I don't give much. If only you survived. Xiao Nan said.
The woman, who had almost lost her breath, resumed the sound of breathing.
She shook her eyelashes, opened her eyes slightly, and in the half-asleep fog, she turned her head slightly, and saw a handsome man in white leaning against the car window and closing his eyes, the moonlight sprinkled on his forehead and shoulders, as if his whole person was emitting a faint light.
It's beautiful......
Are you here to pick up your own immortals......
Only at this time,
It's finally ...... Felt......
It's calm.
"I hear your prayers." The elegant voice blew into her ears like a breeze.
She wanted to say something, but she couldn't restrain herself from falling into a coma again.
——
Xiao Nan vaguely remembered that he had a very long dream.
When he woke up, the sun was getting high outside.
And the woman was gone.
"Miao Feng! Wanyue! He shouted twice, and Miao Feng opened the car window from the outside and said, "Are you crazy?" I opened the window in the middle of the night to sleep, but fortunately I didn't catch a cold, and I have to close the window for you. You can really sleep, it's ten o'clock in the morning. ”
"What about the man we saved?" Xiao Nan asked.
"She woke up earlier than you, her fever has subsided, and she can already go to the ground." Miao Feng said, "She said her name is Lu Hua. ”
"Luhua?! Such a earthy name! Xiao Nan complained.
“…… I think it's okay. Miao Feng raised his eyebrows, in fact, his people are named after various plants, "Wanyue stewed chicken soup, everyone ate it, you wait, and then give you hot heat." Do you want me to feed you? You look empty. ”
"Am I like someone to feed?" Xiao Nan was unconvinced.
Then Miao Feng brought him chicken soup from the window. Xiao Nan complained: "How can you pick this up? Not even a pallet! It's so full! ”
"You don't have a table in your carriage. Didn't you say you could eat it yourself? Miao Feng asked. Anyway, he turned over like a harrier and flew in through the window like a liquid cat, and he didn't spill a drop of chicken soup.
I saw him holding the bowl steadily with one hand, picking up the soup spoon with the other, scooping a spoonful of chicken soup and sending it to Xiao Nan's lips: "Open your mouth." If you don't want me to feed it, then I'll hold the bowl for you and scoop it yourself. ”
"............" Xiao Nan could only open his mouth.
After breakfast, Xiao Nan tidied up and freshened up a little in the carriage, but he didn't get off the train. Just talking to people outside through the screen.
Lu Hua's face was covered with gauze, she was wearing a change of clothes brought by Wanyue, and insisted on kneeling in front of Xiao Nan's car window and kowtowing despite the stop of others.
Xiao Nan also wanted to explain that she didn't do anything to her last night, but she opened her mouth and said word by word: "The Thirteenth Master saved my life, Lu Hua will be the Thirteenth Master's person from now on, born as the slave of the Thirteenth Master, and died as the ghost of the Thirteenth Master." ”
Her attitude was resolute and strong, not like what those villagers said, the fox spirit, Xiao Nan could probably guess the persecution of her by the rabble, so she said through the screen window: "I will suffer a lot with me." ”
"I'm not afraid of hardship, I just want to repay the favor!" Lu Hua knocked her head three times hard.
Wanyue said at this time: "Young master, Lu Hua's life experience is very miserable, her family owes the Zhou family a loan shark, her father and mother were forced to sell themselves to pay off the debt after her father's death, and Zhou Xiucai, who married seventy or eighty years old, was tortured, but that Xiucai was not a thing, and she took Lu Hua to please the children of the official eunuchs in the county, because Lu Hua was unbearable to torture and stabbed the powerful man, so she was ordered to sink her into the river. She must have no way to survive if she stayed here. The people in the town regard her as a demon, so let's take her away. ”
"yes, I see." Xiao Nan said, "Our top priority is to find a place to settle first...... Not! ”
"Young Master!!" Wanyue quickly opened the car door and entered the carriage, only to see Xiao Nan holding her forehead again, as if she was not very comfortable.
"Is it a cold?" Wan Yue tried his forehead, but didn't notice that he had a fever. So I closed the window first.
"You lie down slowly." She gently held him and said. Xiao Nan was just sitting on a thick futon in the carriage, and there were many soft pillows behind him, and his posture was still relatively comfortable.
Xiao Nan raised his head, his eyes flowing with golden brilliance.
"Is it because Fuxi's power is not controlled?" Wan Yue boldly guessed.
Xiao Nan nodded.
"Don't rush, take your time." Wan Yue held his hand and said. She accompanied Xiao Nan, watching Xiao Nan close his eyes for a long time, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes returned to normal.
"Wanyue, you...... See ......," Xiao Nan asked.
"See what?" Wanyue wondered.
"Nothing, I need to rest. Please, you can place the reed flowers. Xiao Nan said softly.
"Well, don't push yourself. I can't help it, I'll take you to find a place to release it. Wanyue said.
"Release what?!" Xiao Nan covered his chin and said.
"Your Fuxi power!"
“…… Don't worry about that, I'm still in control. Xiao Nan smiled awkwardly.
He clearly saw six points of light levitating in the carriage, but obviously Wanyue couldn't see it.
He stretched out his hand slightly, and one of the points of light jumped to his fingertips, and in an instant, some kind of picture was transmitted in his mind - it was the picture of the tragic death of the old immortal Zhou Xiucai!
He vomited a large amount of reed flowers while eating supper at night and died!
This is similar to the situation in Xiao Nan's nightmare last night!
It turns out that these points of light are the prayers of Fuxi's power to fulfill? Because Luhua herself cursed those who harmed her!
——
"Lu Hua, Thirteen Shao's health is not very good, don't quarrel with him, go and rest." Wanyue walked out of the carriage and said to Lu Hana, who was still kneeling on the ground.
"Thirteenth Master, he ......," Lu Hua said worriedly.
"He's fine, but he's not in good shape, let him be quiet." Wanyue said.
