On the official road after the rain, the wheels will be pressed over the potholes, and the muddy water will be splashed.

The female guard didn't have time to clean the mud on her shoes, turned over and entered the back carriage, facing the woman who was in a daze, she couldn't make people wake up for a while, so she had to knock the other party unconscious with her hand as a knife.

The accompanying healer was called in and re-dressed the woman's wounds.

The carriage in front also stopped because of the accident behind it, and Ah Yu asked Qingrui to see what was happening behind, but Qingrui brought back the doctor's advice.

"The human head is one of the most important parts, and if it hurts the head, it can be very dangerous, no matter how severe. Miss Deng lost her old memories due to her injuries, and she had to recuperate carefully to recover her wounds and memories. But her current performance is not like this, as if she has hysteria due to a head injury. ”

In layman's terms, it's madness.

Hysteria is the most difficult to diagnose and treat, when she is good, she is no different from a normal person, but when it comes to the onset of the disease, she will hurt herself like crazy.

However, no one knows how long her symptoms will last, and whether they will worsen, from self-harm to hurting others.

Qingrui saw that Ah Yu picked up the teacup, and her face was still pale and she couldn't help but whisper again: "The son of a daughter said by the doctor can't sit down, and the slave thinks it's very reasonable." ”

"It's better to wait until you get to Yecheng, and then part ways with Miss Deng, didn't the girl originally just plan to spend money to hire someone to send Miss Deng home!"

Although the destination of their trip is the same place, Deng Shuang herself is a dangerous person, who knows if she will suddenly burst out and hurt their girl.

But Ah Yu said: "People do not stand without faith, and we have made an appointment to go with us yesterday, how can we break the previous agreement because she is sick." It was not her wish to be hurt, and if she said something like that just now, she would not say it again. ”

On her side, she firmly rejected Qingrui's proposal, but she had some doubts about Deng Shuang's identity in her heart.

Last night, Deng Shuang asked about the elder of the pavilion surnamed Deng in Kyoto, and after thinking about it carefully, Ah Yu finally found some impressions from his memory.

This impression is also thanks to the descriptive words that Deng Shuang added to the elder surnamed Deng.

Earlier, Ah Yu had asked Xie Huai'an why he hated Le Wang so much, and then Xie Huai'an told her about Le Wang's old affairs.

The prince who was given the title by the emperor did not have the slightest royal demeanor in his actions, and he was not even as good as ordinary men.

Before the emperor gave him a marriage, he asked him what he thought, but he was silent at that time, neither refused nor agreed. After the decree of marriage came down, he found the person who should have been his princess incognito, and won the love of the other party with a false identity, and even let the other party disobey the decree for his sake.

The later emperor did withdraw his fate, but the girl who was deceived by King Le was nowhere to be found.

In fact, not only that girl, but her father was originally the elder of the pavilion, in order to ask the emperor to retract the will to give marriage, he directly told the old man to return to his hometown, and the rest of the family also moved out of Kyoto together, and in the next ten years, not many people can even remember that family.

If it weren't for hearing Xie Huai'an say this, Ah Yu would even think that Deng Shuang was a liar full of lies, not only would he not take people to the border with him, but he might have said goodbye to him after giving him medicine.

At this time, Ah Yu didn't know that after they left the dilapidated Land Temple, two groups of people came there one after another.

The group of people who arrived first had sabers hanging from their waists and were dressed in brown shorts, and when they entered the Land Temple, they loudly evoked Deng Shuang's name, obviously familiar with Deng Shuang.

"The big girl's martial arts are getting better and better now, and I haven't noticed her breathing since I entered the door." After shouting for a long time, the bearded man who couldn't get a response gave up waiting for Deng Shuang's response, and began to look around the small land temple to find people.

He was a retainer of the Deng family, and after the head of the family returned to his hometown, he still felt at ease with his children who insisted on staying in Kyoto, so he left a lot of manpower to guard his children.

The beard is one of them.

Speaking of which, he is also Deng Shuang's enlightenment teacher in martial arts, and when he usually gets along, he is very respected by Deng Shuang.

Of course, it is precisely because of this respect that every time he comes to Deng Shuang, Deng Shuang will always use various methods to show his progress in front of him. The last time was a surprise sneak attack, and the last time was to escape with light skills, could it be that this time it was to show him the ability to conceal?

Cheng Qi sighed silently, even if their eldest girl's martial arts skills were superb, it was impossible for them to really let the eldest girl go to trouble King Le.

A commoner would go to the trouble of the people in the royal family, and it would be impossible for them to watch their eldest girl fall into the same pit like this.

The land temple is not big, it is only one room when it is full, Cheng Qi took people to rummage inside and out, but he still did not find Deng Shuang.

He stopped in front of the statue of the god of the land lord, and at his feet was the ashes left by a pile of firewood, and he could see the traces left by passers-by in the temple, but there was no mark left by Deng Shuang, as if she had never appeared here.

This is very undeserved.

The eldest girl in her own family is a very stubborn person, and because of the old past, she is extremely attached to places like the Land Temple. Every time I meet them, I must meet in the Land Temple, and every time it is a Land Temple in a different place. They had already visited almost all the land temples around Kyoto, so the place where they met later became farther and farther away from Kyoto.

According to the mark left by the eldest girl outside, the last place to point to is indeed the land temple in front of her.

However, there is no one here.

Just when Cheng Qi was thinking about what went wrong, his younger brothers, who were still conscientiously looking for clues in the Land Temple, finally discovered something different.

"Big brother, there is a mark left by the eldest girl behind this statue, and there is some blood ......".

The blood stains that have long dried up are mixed with the dust on the statue, and the dirty appearance makes it easy to ignore the past. The crescent-shaped mark was carved on the back of the idol, and the arc of the crescent moon fell lazily downward, marking a long mark.

Cheng Qi saw the mark and the pool of blood.

The people passing by the Land Temple were not deliberately hiding the traces of their departure, and yesterday it happened to rain again, and the wheels pressed over the muddy path, leaving deep rut marks.

As they left along the rut marks, they cleaned up the marks left by their predecessors.

Another group of people and Cheng Qi happened to be the front and rear feet, and Cheng Qi and their front feet cleaned up the traces and left, and then the figure of another group of people appeared around the Land Temple.

They were different from Cheng Qi and the others in front, as soon as they entered the Land Temple, they went straight to the statue of the Land Gong. After seeing the pool of dried blood behind the idol, the leader reached out and grabbed a small piece of bloodstained fragment of the idol, put it in his mouth and sipped it, before nodding to the others.

I didn't see any more communication between them, and I didn't even follow the trails near the Land Temple, so I left the way I came.

Cheng Qi and the others were originally able to follow the traces of the rut and chase all the way to Yecheng.

However, when their carriage was halfway there, they made a short stop because of Deng Shuang's commotion, and set aside a few people to go to a nearby farmhouse from the path, bought a few native-born old hens, and when they arrived in Yecheng, they added a lot of medicinal materials to it, and boiled out a pot of chicken soup for Deng Shuang.

On one road is the traces of the convoy, and on the other road is the footprints left by a single horse, which should be chased there, so naturally there is no need to say more.

However, Cheng Qi still made preparations with both hands, and took a few people to walk on the path, leaving many traces left by the convoy that continued to chase forward.

The more you go to the vicinity of Yecheng, the more disorganized the traces of pedestrians on the road, and it is not easy to find a specific trace without any markings.

Ah Yu didn't know that he had caught up with a group of people behind him.

The accompanying medical craftsman was originally the palace doctor in the Wen Mansion, and he was best at treating diseases such as water and soil adaptation and wind and cold, although he followed the back of Doctor Yang and learned a lot of other medical skills, but whether it was in the past or now, he was helpless against hysteria.

At most, she was prescribed two prescriptions for Deng Shuang to treat the wound on her forehead, and perhaps some ointment to remove the scar.

The doctors around him are not useful, so Ah Yu naturally sent someone to find it from Yecheng, but he couldn't find a doctor who is good at treating hysteria, and it is also a good thing to get news related to it.

After all, according to Deng Shuang's current identity, she is related to the Fan family in Mocheng, and she is also related to Xie Huai'an.

Xie Huai'an helped Ah Yang a lot in the past, although her purpose this time was to relieve Xie Huai'an's predicament, but even if Xie Huai'an found out the traitor at the border pass under her reminder, so that the danger of the border pass could be lifted, Ah Huai'an did not think about returning to Beijing.

In all probability, she will continue to travel with people.

Maybe one day she will die on the road outside, as she saw in her dreams, but as long as she can write a lot of letters home, it is enough to prevent her father and brother from finding out that she is dead.

In order to reduce the possibility of being exposed, Ah Yu has consciously cultivated the maids around him at this time, making them deliberately imitate their own handwriting.

Although the imitation was not very similar at first, there were seven or eight words out of ten words that got that charm.

If you want to practice for another year or two, you will be able to be completely consistent.

However, for something as important as practicing calligraphy, Ah Yu didn't dare to hand it over to the delicate Qingrui, because she was too smart, maybe she could find something wrong from some clues.

Or Aoba is more suitable.

She is well-behaved and obedient enough, as long as it is something that Ah Yu tells her to do, she will do her best to complete it, and she will never say anything.

Qingrui received the news from the guard, and said to Ah Yu: "Yecheng is not as good as Kyoto, and even the famous doctors in Kyoto dare not say that they can completely cure hysteria, and there is naturally no doctor here who can prescribe the right medicine." ”

She paused, and then continued: "But Guan Yi and they also heard a rumor that I don't know if it's true or not......

It was precisely because she couldn't tell the truth from the fake, so she didn't know whether to say it at this time.

"Let's talk about it!"

Whether it's true or not, after Qingrui said it, she had her own judgment in her heart.

Ah Yu marked the date on the envelope, handed the envelope to Aoba on the side, and then looked at Qingrui intently.

Qingrui watched Aoba habitually stuff the envelope into her sleeve pocket, and couldn't help frowning, how could she not have seen other envelopes beside Aoba before, but Aoba seems to have been obsessed with practicing calligraphy recently, obviously she has always disliked reading.

Many thoughts in my heart are fleeting, after all, there is a Ah Yu in front of him, waiting for her answer!

"It is rumored that there is a divine doctor surnamed Zhang in King Le's fiefdom, who is famous for being good at treating hysteria," Qingrui paused before saying, "Among the rumors that Guan Yi and they have heard, there are two theories about the whereabouts of Doctor Zhang, one says that he has now gone to the border pass, and the other says that he is still in King Le's fief. ”

If they are not in a hurry, they can take a detour from Yecheng, first go to the fiefdom of King Le, and then turn to the border pass.

Ah Yu thought about it carefully, and still felt that the border gate was more important.

They can also go to the border pass first, if they don't see the miracle doctor who is good at treating hysteria at the border pass, they can also ask the people of the Fan family to send Deng Shuang to find the miracle doctor. And their immediate priority is to go to the border.

Ah Yu, who made the decision, felt a little more guilty about Deng Shuang.

Some people are like this, at the beginning they are rushing to help others, and when they find that they can obviously give greater help, but for one reason or another, they can only pay seven or eight points for their original ten out of ten kindnesses, and the remaining two or three points are reserved for themselves. Even if she still helped, she still couldn't get over it in her heart.

Because she knew she could have done more.

After the guards prepared the food and medicinal materials in Yecheng, they headed towards the border pass again.

This time, Ah Yu arranged Deng Shuang in his own carriage.

It was also in Yecheng that she found out that if Deng Shuang was surrounded by other people, she would not deliberately ask herself to think of those vague memories in the past, but she could be like an ordinary person.

Ah Yu treated Deng Shuang as a guest before, so she specially vacated a carriage, and now she found that Deng Shuang had better not be alone, so she naturally arranged people by her side.

Cheng Qi and the others, who were chasing Deng Shuang behind, happened to pass by the carriage where Ah Yu and them went out of the city, and no one noticed that the carriage with the curtain down was the person they had been looking for.
