Chapter 50: Together
Cao Ruzhen looked stronger than usual.
Xu Qinghuan did not persuade Cao Ruzhen, and she also persistently buried her father and brother back then, not because of stubbornness, but because she could feel at ease by disposing of it herself.
"There are still some dangers in the mountains," Xu Qinghuan said, "You have to listen to my arrangement at all times." ”
Cao Ruzhen nodded.
There are several families outside Fengxiang City who make a living by collecting medicines, they often go in and out of the mountains, and the work of going out early and returning late every day has become their habit, they don't know what changes are outside, but they will definitely notice one more person in the mountains.
Meng Lingyun began to inquire about several households but found nothing, and was later instructed by a medicine picker to go to the steep Dongshan: "The Dongshan is relatively remote, and there are not too many medicinal materials, we rarely go there, if you can be sure that the person you are looking for has come to the mountain, maybe he has gone there." ”
There is an old couple living there at the foot of Higashiyama Mountain.
Meng Lingyun said to Xu Qinghuan: "It was the mother-in-law here who vaguely saw a very tall person walking towards the mountain, and after we inquired about the news, the nursing home went into the mountain to find someone." ”
The old man in the courtyard kept shaking his head when he heard Meng Lingyun's words: "It has been many days since the old woman saw people, if people have not come out of the mountain for so long, I am afraid that there will be more luck than luck." ”
Cao Ruzhen's eyes suddenly turned red, and she pursed her lips tightly to make herself strong: "Can we go in and find someone?" ”
Xu Qingan shook his head and said softly: "I've been to see it, the road is very difficult to walk, you don't go up." ”
"Miss Cao's family, don't worry," Feng Xiao comforted Cao Ruzhen, "Our family is very powerful, he can do anything on trees and walls, he can run all over the mountain with a cup of tea, the rabbits on the mountain are not as fast as his legs, you are waiting for his good news here." ”
Feng Xiao held the candy given by Xu Qing'an in her hand, and dutifully repaid Xu Qing'an, isn't it just a few good words? She can say a basket with one mouth.
Anything can be done by climbing trees and walls.
A cup of tea.
Faster than a rabbit.
Xu Qingan's face became more and more ugly.
"Go quickly," Feng Xiao looked at Xu Qing'an with hatred, "a cup of tea." ”
Xu Qingan only had time to instruct Meng Lingyun: "Take care of Miss." Then he gritted his teeth and lifted his robe and turned over on his horse.
"Brother," Xu Qinghuan took two steps forward, "Let someone look for it under the cliff." ”
Xu Qingan nodded, couldn't bear to look at Cao Ruzhen again, and urged the horse to disappear in front of everyone.
Cao Ruzhen's eyes were firmly fixed on the way down the mountain, she wished that a strange figure would appear there, their brother and sister had been separated for more than ten years, and there was no chance to get together.
Xu Qinghuan wanted to comfort Cao Ruzhen, but Cao Ruzhen held her hand: "Qinghuan, you have done a lot for us, and I ...... such a result I couldn't even dream of it, I couldn't ask for more. ”
Xu Qinghuan said softly: "There is still a chance." ”
It's a pity that this chance is too slim, Master Xu San is different from Master Xu Er, since he has already set up this bureau, he will definitely kill the stone, and this is how Xu San killed Cao Ruzhen in his previous life.
The brother and sister have gone through two lives, but they still can't recognize each other.
Xu Qinghuan's heart was sour.
"Miss, look, someone is coming down over there."
Xu Qinghuan followed Feng Xiao's fingers and looked over, and sure enough, he saw several figures in the distance.
Cao Ruzhen's heart seemed to reach her throat, and she eagerly wanted to meet it and take a look, but her legs froze there and couldn't move.
Several people did not walk fast, especially the few who were left behind, and they moved extremely slowly.
It was only when I got a little closer that I realized that they were carrying a person.
Cao Ruzhen let Xu Qinghuan lead her forward, her eyes were firmly glued to the person who was being carried, and she suddenly realized that someone had already rushed to report the news.
The man's lips opened and closed, but she couldn't hear the slightest sound, looked at Xu Qinghuan for help, and finally saw a happy smile in Xu Qinghuan's eyes.
Cao Ruzhen only felt that the breath that was pressing on her heart finally dissipated, and then her body shook, and she seemed to have no strength in her legs.
Seeing the figure getting closer and closer to her, she struggled to run forward.
Suddenly, the heavens and the earth became silent.
She accidentally fell on her head and didn't feel pain, she just wanted to go faster, faster.
After decades, she is finally a few steps away, and she will never miss this opportunity to reunite.
She saw the prince of An Yihou coming over, carrying the man on his back, turning around and walking in her direction step by step.
Finally, she could see the face clearly.
There was a calm smile on his haggard, embarrassed face, his pale and bloodstained lips were raised, his clothes were torn, scars could be seen on the exposed skin, his clothes were stained red with blood, and the shoes on his feet were long gone.
But none of this matters, the important thing is that he is still alive.
The stone struggled to raise his hand, making a "purring" sound in his throat, and his eyes were both grateful and shy, like a child who had done something wrong.
Cao Ruzhen was stunned for a moment, she couldn't tell whether everything in front of her was reality or a dream, and after a while, she suddenly rushed over and hugged the person in front of her: "Brother, how are you, where are you injured......"
The stone was already big, and with a Cao Ruzhen, Xu Qingan couldn't help but stumble under his feet, thanks to Meng Lingyun's support, he wouldn't drop the stone on the ground.
Cao Ruzhen thanked Xu Qingan shamefully.
Xu Qingan was uncomfortable, and said with a slightly red cheek: "That beast pushed the stone down the mountain, but fortunately it was blocked by the trees under the cliff a few times, so he saved a life, this cliff is too steep, he doesn't have the strength to climb up, we are a few days late...... And he ...... In short, Jiren has his own natural appearance. ”
Xu Qinghuan looked at the stone carefully, only to see that he had a cyan cloth wrapped around his belly and legs, and a gourd pinned to his waist, she turned her head and asked Xu Qing'an: "Brother treated the stone?" ”
Xu Qingan shook his head: "No, we found him halfway up the mountain, so we immediately brought him down." ”
The blue strip of cloth was clearly different from the clothes worn by the stone.
Xu Qinghuan looked at the big man with a confused face, Shi still didn't know how these people found him, and he didn't know why Cao Ruzhen was crying and laughing at him.
"Stone," Xu Qinghuan said, "Did someone find you before us?" ”
The stone nodded, but because he couldn't speak, he couldn't think of how to explain the matter for a while, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and after a while he remembered something, he clasped his hands into fists, put his left hand on top, and raised his eyebrows to salute.
Cao Ruzhen didn't understand: "What does this mean?" ”
Xu Qinghuan looked carefully at the hands held by the stone: "This one of the stone knots is the Taiji seal." ”
The Taoist Tai Chi Yin reminded her of a person.
He was wearing a cyan robe, and he often showed a bit of the brilliance of the fairy wind in front of people, and he said in a long voice when he met people: "Immortal Dao is a noble life, and there are no measurable people." ”
Many people hailed him as an immortal.
But he's a true liar.
Zhang Zhenren.
It was Zhang Zhenren who saved the stone.
The stone turned its head to look up the mountain.
There was a faint singing voice in the deep mountains, and it was actually a poppy song: "Yingying looks at each other and has no reason to pick it up." Sad return clogs. Now the traces of immortals are hard to find. That day, Qinglou had seen it, like a flower man. ”
Xu Qinghuan instructed Meng Lingyun: "You go back with me to the farmer's house." ”
In the farmer's yard, Lao Suo was looking through the medicinal herbs, and when he saw them going, he hurriedly asked, "Have you found anyone?" ”
Xu Qinghuan didn't answer, looking at the room not far away, she walked a few steps quickly and opened the curtain.
The house was full of ordinary farmhouse furnishings, except for a camellia on the table by the window.
The mother-in-law also walked in the door.
"Someone in the house?" Xu Qinghuan asked.
The mother-in-law nodded.
"You didn't tell us."
"Because you didn't ask, girl, the young man just said, if the girl asked, we will say......" The mother-in-law had a few pieces of loose silver in her palm, "He gave us this, alas, life in the mountains is not easy...... That's enough for us to go down the mountain to make a living. ”
If Song Chengxuan was the person behind Xu San, why did he let Zhang Zhenren save the stone.
He was here, and he would be bad for her at any time, but he didn't do it, was he laughing at her incompetence by doing so, or was there something else hidden.
"Mother-in-law, can you ask for saliva to drink."
A familiar voice came.
Xu Qinghuan walked out of the door and saw Zhang Zhenren with a smile on his face.
Zhang Zhenren looked a little embarrassed, the Taoist robe on his body was missing, and his face was full of dust, he wiped his eyes before he smiled embarrassedly: "I didn't want to meet you...... I didn't expect the mountain road over there to be very rugged, and the Taoist really has a relationship with you. ”
After Zhang Zhenren said this, he found the gourd on the waist of the stone, and then smashed his mouth: "Female doll, I heard that you are going back to the capital, how about we go all the way?" ”
"Okay," Xu Qinghuan agreed, "along the way, I have to ask the Taoist to take care of it." ”
