1. Xinchuan Station

Next Chapter

When Chen Song woke up, he felt that his throat was swollen and painful, and his head hurt even more. She barely opened her eyes, and it was dark in front of her, and she could only see a few vague figures around her. She appears to be lying in a cramped carriage, driving on uneven roads. The body jolted violently, and the back of her head hit something soft.

I'm alive?

She tried to speak, but she couldn't make a sound, and she wanted to wave her hand, but she couldn't lift her arm. The people around her didn't seem to notice her movements, and just whispered to each other. The voice sounded far away.

It can't be that he was injured in an accident and became a high paraplegic, right?

Chen Song was scared in his heart. She moved her limbs as hard as she could. After a long while, I finally felt my hands and feet vaguely. She gathered her strength and sat up sharply.

When she got up, she hit something first, hitting her forehead painfully. The two people around him were shocked, and one exclaimed:

"She's awake!"

"Don't scare her," whispered a young woman beside her, "let me come." ”

The person turned to her again and said softly, "Xiao Qi, do you remember the third sister?" ”

Chen Song was stunned. There were two women beside her, both wearing long dark dresses with cross-collar ties, kneeling on cushions. It was the young woman who was talking to her. Chen Song sat in the arms of another older woman, and when she got up, it was her forehead that hit the other man's chin.

Sitting in that man's arms?

Chen Song jumped to the side suddenly. The old woman reached out and pulled her. Chen Song reflexively struggled and hit the back of her hand hard, making a crisp sound. The third sister gave the man a look, and she let go of Chen Song. Chen Song fell to the ground and fell backwards, his back against the vibrating plank. Her heart was pounding, her hairs stood on end, and her eyes widened as she looked around.

She was in a carriage. But not an ambulance, but a cramped wooden carriage. The windows were covered, and only a glimmer of dim daylight came through the curtain ahead. Through the curtain, you can also see two vague figures, as if they are driving a car.

The two women knelt on the spot, but they were both taller than Chen Song was standing. Chen Song felt a chill in the back of her head, and she glanced at herself. I saw that I was wrapped in several layers of clothes, covering my body so that I couldn't see it. Half-cut white hands protrude from the wide cuffs, clearly belonging to a preschool child.

The woman who called herself the third sister softened her tone and said, "You are seriously ill, and you don't even recognize people. Daddy is busy and can't take care of us, so Sister will take you to a foreign house. ”

Although her tone is low, her voice is clear, her appearance is also very heroic, and she has sharp sword eyebrows on her smart eyes. Chen Song vaguely felt that her face was kind. She was at a loss for a while. I saw the third sister take out a pendant from her sleeve and hand it to Chen Song. It was a shiny jade pendant, dark green, carved into several slender willow leaves.

"You sit with Ying's mother obediently, this is for you to play, okay?"

Chen Song calmed down, and felt that he couldn't cry or laugh for a while. She hesitated for a moment, then reached out to catch the pendant. Seeing this, Ying's mother next to her breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and hugged her on her knees, and tied the pendant around her neck. He covered her with a dark robe and covered her from her feet to her chin.

Chen Song was at her mercy, and many thoughts came to her mind one after another, making a mess. She had read some novels and stories, and knew that it was about this girl named Xiao Qi who had died of illness and was replaced by her own reincarnated soul. She had gone through the whole process of her own flight down, and she already knew that she would not be spared in the accident, but she was not particularly sad. But at this moment, being in a completely different time and space, it is still like a dream, unbelievable. Especially looking at the costumes and movements of the people in front of you, I am afraid that there is at least a thousand years away from the world you live in.

I only heard the third sister continue: "You had a bad fever a few days ago and injured your throat, so don't speak for the time being." If you want anything, show it to Ying's mother. ”

He said to Ying's mother again: "While the seventh sister is awake now, give her a medicinal tea." ”

This sister is really gentle and patient. Chen Song had no sisters in his last life, and listening to her arrangement, his heart was a little more stable. Ying's mother, who was holding her, took out a small urn from her bag, poured out most of the reddish-brown liquid, and carefully pressed it to her lips in the bumps of the car.

The liquid was scented, reminding her of the tearing pain in her throat. Chen Song opened his mouth to drink, but suddenly felt doubts again, and vaguely felt that something was wrong. She looked up and saw that Ying's mother looked nervous. And the third sister brought the tea cup to her lips, took a sip of it herself, and winked at her.

"Sister has tasted it for you, it's not bitter."

It seems that this child is very difficult to coax. Chen Song was a little embarrassed. The third sister brought the teacup to her lips again. She drank obediently. The tea was indeed not very tasty, and the smell of herbs was strong, flowing through the burning tract, causing a burst of soreness. She couldn't help but frown. The third sister smiled and was about to speak. At this time, someone whispered outside the carriage: "Three ladies." ”

The third sister asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The driver who was driving outside the curtain said: "There is a post house in front, it looks like there are lights, I am afraid I can't find it if I miss it." The villain discussed with the two guards of King Zhang, it is better to rest here today. ”

The third sister raised her eyebrows and said, "Didn't you say earlier, can you go to Liangcheng today?" ”

Although she is soft-spoken to her sister, she seems to be quite strict at home and is not easy to fool. The coachman replied very carefully, and carefully explained: "Today is a snowy day, and the roads are muddy. It was getting dark early, and the horses were tired. At this time, it was past the middle of the day, and there were still thirty miles away from Liangcheng. If you want to take advantage of the snow to hurry, it will not be there when it is dark, and you are afraid of danger. ”

The third sister pondered for a moment, and it seemed that it was difficult to decide. I heard another male voice say from the side: "Girl, what He Jiu said is not bad." Even when they arrived, the gates were closed. ”

Chen Song quietly observed, and saw that the third sister was hesitant, and her face was quite worried. She said that taking her sister to her grandfather's house turned out to be a big event that couldn't be delayed? Could it be that this little girl is sick and dying, and needs to be treated as soon as possible?

When she thought about it, she couldn't help but cry out in her heart: It is a little funny that she was robbed and changed her body, only to die more slowly, right? But she stretched her hands and feet, and felt that there was nothing wrong with her other than a sore throat.

At this time, I heard the third sister say: "Since this is the case, let's rest here." Rest early today and leave tomorrow at dawn. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the rolling of the wheels slowed down. Chen Song heard the faint sound of conversation outside, and soon after, the vehicle stopped. Ying's mother picked up Chen Song and covered her with several layers of robes, not only wrapped her body tightly, but almost covered her entire head in her clothes. She couldn't see anything, only the creaking of a few people getting out of the car and landing on the ground. The sound of the wind and snow instantly became loud and rough, and it seemed that the weather was indeed very bad.

She stretched out her hand to remove a little of the fabric that covered her face, and the snow-white sky and cold air hit at the same time, choking her spirit. In the midst of the flying snowflakes, she saw a wooden gate in front of her, and in front of the door hung a wooden plaque with a few Chinese characters written in a surprisingly archaic font. At a glance, Chen Song only recognized one of them as the word "Sichuan".

Ying's mother found out that she was undressed, and immediately reached out and pressed it back. Chen Song's eyes were suddenly dark again. She heard the third sister talking to someone, but she was mixed in the wind and snow, and only vaguely heard words such as "Han" and "Liang". Ying's mother walked forward with her in her arms, and suddenly, about the time she walked into the room, the sound of wind and snow disappeared, and she clearly heard the conversation between the third sister and others.

"Girl, it's not that the villain is embarrassed by you." A middle-aged man's voice said, "It's just that my Xinchuan Post Station was originally set up to ensure the transmission of military and political documents. The girl also saw the current situation. Along the way, ten pavilions were abandoned and seven pavilions were abandoned. Within a radius of 100 miles, I couldn't find a fast horse. The villain barely survived, and only these two stagecoaches remained. Wuxian County is ninety miles away from Xinchuan, and when it reaches us, it is already the limit of horsepower. In case of a big event, wouldn't the news be cut off from me! The Han girl has a token in the palace, but after all, it is just a family matter. If you want food and lodging, the villain will do his best to entertain you, but this horse will never be lent to you. ”

The third sister said coldly: "Zhang Xuan's army is coming, and the whole world knows that there can be any big things." Even when they arrived, they came from north to south. You Xinchuan is at the south gate of Liangcheng, what news can you spread. ”

But when she said so, she seemed to feel unreasonable. After a while, he said: "In this case, I will only lend you a fast horse to deliver the letter to Liangcheng before sunset." You can return that night, what do you think? ”

The post station official was still arguing, and Ying's mother had already walked to the side with Chen Song in her arms. Chen Song poked his head out of the heavy robe, and wanted to hear more information, but heard someone on the side shouting: "Brother, you lie to me, isn't this the girl going home!" ”

Chen Song turned around and saw a small hall in front of him. Eight bamboo mats are placed in turn, and wooden tables and soft cushions are placed on the mats. Three of the seats were seated. It was a girl of seven or eight years old who spoke. She has a round face, bright eyes, and a leather jacket with a white fur curled neckline, and looks very healthy.

The girl turned to see Chen Song, her face was happy, and she said, "My little sister is so good-looking." What is your name? ”

Not far from her sat a tall young man, dark-skinned and helpless, who should be the brother in her mouth. At this time, the third sister came from behind, and the man straightened up on the table, bowed his hand and bowed far away, and said: "The little sister doesn't understand etiquette, so don't be surprised by the girl." ”

But his sister was not convinced: "How can I not understand etiquette? After that, he jumped up from the table, arched his hand, and said to Chen Song with a glance: "Little lady, my surname is Qiu, my name is Abu, how do you call you?" ”

Chen Song was at a loss for a while: where did she know what etiquette she had! What's more, I can't speak when I'm sick! So he hesitantly raised his hand, and arched his hand at her.

There were seven or eight people in the hall, and when they saw two children talking, they all looked this way. At this time, seeing Chen Song's movements, he seemed to think it was funny, and he actually smiled on his face. Chen Song looked back and saw that the third sister also covered her lips and smiled. Only Ying's mother looked embarrassed and said in a low voice: "Little Qi Niangzi, the girl doesn't salute like this. "She is about to be a nursing mother who takes care of her children, and she also has the responsibility of teaching the daily rules.

The third sister pressed her hands together on her side, bowed, and said, "My sister has been weak since she was a child, and she has been raised at home and doesn't know what is going on. I would also like to ask for your bearing. The people in the hall also returned the salute. Chen Song looked around, and everyone just sat up straight and gave up their hands. Presumably, Abu's brother bowed because his sister had offended first, so he was more serious.

And Abu got up and left the table to salute again, which was a more solemn etiquette, but the fault was that she thought of herself as a boy.

Ying's mother took off her shoes for her and put her on the table. He stepped back. Chen Song estimated that only the host's family could sit in the seats in this hall. She followed the third sister and learned her to kneel down in the face of several cases. I saw a tea bowl on it. Abu sat next to her, and seemed to know the embarrassment, and his cheeks flushed. But his eyes were blazing, and he still looked at Chen Song.

She wanted to ask Chen Song what his name was, but Chen Song himself didn't know what his name was at the moment. Fortunately, the third sister also saw it, and said with a smile: "The little sister is in poor health and can't speak for the time being." She is seventh in my Han family. ”

After another pause, he said: "Han often feels that women are already inconvenient in the world, and it is even more futile to distinguish them from men in everything. Qiu Xiaoniang is still young, of course, she must understand the etiquette of the world, but if she is worthy of her heart, she doesn't have to care about the eyes of others. ”

Although she spoke to Abu, she did not shy away from others. Chen Song couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, and felt that this newly acquired sister was probably also a strange woman in the world. The elder brother of the Qiu family also followed the prestige. He opened his mouth before he could speak. Another person asked from a corner of the hall: "The girl's surname is Han, isn't it the girl of Mr. Yuzhou's family?" The situation in the north is as dangerous as eggs, and the nobles of Juyang have gone south, why did the girl go from south to north? ”
