Chapter 137: A Trip to the Northland (23)
Kong Yan looked at Lu Lian, who was unconscious on the bed, and did not rush back to his master's words, but asked Lu Lian about his situation again.
"What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said that the body is a little shorter, and it needs to be well recuperated." Master Gong replied.
Kong Yan sat down, put her fingers on Lu Lian's wrist, and only withdrew her hand after half a ring, and at the same time put Lu Lian's hand back into the quilt, "My body is weaker." ”
Master Gong didn't expect that the girl of the Kong family would also know medical skills, and his eyes brightened a little.
Kong Yan knew that Lu Lian's body was fine, and she had already made a decision in her heart, she retreated from the side of the bed, and walked outside with Master Gong before she spoke, "Master Gong, Lu Lian is safe, I am guilty, it is inconvenient to stay here, I want to go to Saibei to reunite with my family." ”
"The girl's worries are right, but the girl stays in the Northland, no one dares to touch you, you might as well stay here as a woman." After the analysis of the master, the master focused on the master's thoughts, "If the second master wakes up and sees that the girl is not there, he must also be lost, why don't you wait for the second master to wake up, and then the girl will discuss with the second master?" ”
Kong Yan refused, she was afraid that as soon as Lu Lian woke up, she would be soft-hearted and even more hesitant, "Master Gong doesn't have to worry, Lu Lian knows what he is going to do, and he will understand that I will leave without waiting for him to wake up." ”
The other party insisted on leaving, but the master didn't dare to disobey, he still remembered Sister Kong, who had been reading in his mouth before the second master fainted.
After that, it is to arrange the route of Kong Yan back to Saibei, this time the master sent four guards to escort her to the north, and the things along the way are also complete, although Kong Yan decided to go to the north, but there is no hurry to go, in the past few days of cultivation, and the master asked for a lot of herbs, the land of the north is cold, every June is still snowing, the summer is very short, as soon as it enters October, it begins to snow, so there are only five months in spring, summer and autumn.
In the cold climate, many herbs are difficult to pick and find, and during the days when Kong Yan was resting, he was equipped with a lot of pills to cure wind and cold.
At the same time, she also made improvements in the clothes, and made a lot of inner pockets in the clothes, which is convenient to put things in and easy to carry.
The left and right have already troubled each other, and Kong Yan is not polite, and asked for a few skins with Master Gong, and made a foot cover in Mao Chong, which can be worn directly in shoes, which is very warm.
Everything that should be prepared is almost ready, the beef jerky that I got at the beginning is also roasted, bring things, Kong Yan will go on the road after resting here for half a month.
During this time, she stayed by Lu Lian's side most of the time, feeding him medicine to wipe his body, but Lu Lian never woke up once.
Beidi to Saibei is a straight line, and there are carriages and guards, day and night to hurry, in the middle of July, Kong Yan entered Saibei, into the eyes is a piece of wilderness, bleak and uninhabited, has entered July, it should be the hot season of summer, but the green grass is mixed with a large area of dead grass, so that the vision is more and more desolate.
Four months of protection along the way with Kong Yan, to be impressed by the girl of the Kong family, along the way did not shout bitterly, at this time seeing such an environment, the other party did not show a sense of worry.
How did they know that Kong Yan had lived a lifetime, and they had long been accustomed to all this.
Seeing the garrison from a distance, Kong Yan got out of the carriage and thanked the four guards and asked them to go back, while she went to the garrison on foot to report.
After walking for an hour, Kong Yan arrived at the place where the exiles stayed, also known as the Garrison Land, where a Feifei's grass house was located.
There is a garrison in the garrison, so the biggest official here is also the general of the garrison, surnamed Fang Mingzhang and Fang Zhang.
Managing a station, Fang Zhang is already the emperor of the soil here, greedy for money and lustful, and Kong Yan was almost bullied by him in his previous life.
In this life, Kong Yan has a long memory, and she dispensed medicine in the north early in the morning, and took one pill a day on the way to the north, and when she got here, there were some thick cells on the side of half of her face, and she was disgusted to look at it more.
She ate the method she learned from the medicine mother-in-law, which was originally a recipe for detoxification, and then used needles and acupuncture points to force the poison to the designated part.
With this face, she didn't have to worry about Fang Zhang falling in love with it.
Looking at the grass house, Kong Yan was suddenly stunned for a moment, she thought of something about herself, and unconsciously found out.
Could it be that when she arrives in the land of Saibei, will she remember what her fate was in her previous life?
It is also a town, with only one street in the north and south, but it is extremely noisy on both sides of the street, with some selling things and more taverns and restaurants.
And the exiled here, most of them will be sent to build post roads, men, women, and children will move stones and dig the earth, make a hard fire, but they don't even have a place to live, they live in the wilderness, such a day of exile is the most bitter, but also the most fatal, many of them get the wind and cold and go like this.
Kong Yan found the place where the exile reported, the other party was an old man with a long beard, thin skinny and bones, he was a Beijing official who was sent to exile here, and he had been here for a long time, and he was familiar with his face, so he was arranged to do a light job, bookkeeping and the like.
After hearing that Kong Yan was a member of the Kong family, the old man also sighed, "The descendants of Confucius are first-class in character. A few days ago, your uncle only came here to report on his own, and today you came here again, and your Kong family is complete. ”
When Kong Yan heard that the second uncle had come, she was even happier, thanked the old man, and went up to meet her family under the leadership of another person.
In the summer, the prisoners lived in the wilderness, so that they could wake up and go to work, unlike in the winter, when they could return to the garrison.
It's just that in the north of the country, it is also very cold at night, and there is no shelter from the wind, so everyone can only get together to keep warm.
The clothes on Kong Yan's body were still thick, and she walked all the way to the wild meadow, and after only a few steps, she was soaked in sweat.
The messenger who led the way glanced back, touched the thick cell on half of his face, turned his head in disgust, and urged impatiently, "Hurry up." ”
Kong Yan replied and trotted to follow.
After walking for more than half an hour, I could finally see the hidden figure in the meadow in the distance, and thinking that I would be able to reunite with my family soon, Kong Yan's steps were also brisk.
Bypassing the tall grass, Kong Yan saw a large group of people working, and there were hundreds of people in them, and there were even poorly dressed people standing with leather whips in their hands.
Following the messenger, through the crowd, the two of them arrived in front of the first official, only to see the messenger who led the way shouted, "Boss." ”
leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear, and the fat poor man's eyes fell on Kong Yan's body, nodded slowly, and with a wave of his hand, he stepped aside, but the poor head still looked at Kong Yan.
"I heard that you were separated on the road, and you came by yourself?" Lu Guan asked coldly, "Count yourself as interesting, you know what will happen to you as a fugitive." ”
