The night was getting darker and darker, but because of the snow, I could still see things clearly in the middle of the night.

In the second half of the night, Yan Qingge didn't fall asleep, sitting at the head of the bed in his clothes, waiting for the maids to report the news of Le Yi and Le Xuan. The strangeness of this snow always made Yan Qingge feel a little frightened.

Xunshuang and Wenxue took turns guarding the gate of the courtyard outside, facing the wind and snow and waiting for news, Yan Qingge didn't dare to relent, told them to rest at this time, only wrote it down in his heart, and when he passed this level, he would give the two of them a reward.

Unexpectedly, until dawn, I didn't wait for any news. In the middle, Xunshuang and Wenxue also went to Gu's courtyard several times to inquire, and they didn't know anything about Le Yi and Le Xuan's whereabouts.

When the day dawned, Yan Qingge went to Gu's side with the dark circles under his eyes.

Gu Shi was also full of tiredness, looking like he hadn't slept well, and said to Yan Qingge: "Are you here?" I've already called someone to call Yanniang. Ay! Xuan'er, this child, last night was the second day of his wedding, even if he doesn't come back, he has to deliver a letter. ”

Yanniang is Xu's name, Yan Qingge heard it, and didn't know what to say. The most important thing now is not that Le Xuan and Le Yi did not send the news back, but that they were in big trouble, so they didn't have the opportunity to send the news back.

While the two were talking, Xu was helped in by several maids, her eye sockets were dark blue, and she obviously didn't sleep all night.

Yesterday the three of them were happy and laughing together, but today everyone is full of sadness, and even the children's play does not attract their attention.

After lunch, Yan Qingge couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep on the big chair.

In a daze, she was aroused, and before she opened her eyes, she said loudly: "Is it that Uncle and Brother Xuan are back?" ”

What appeared in front of her eyes was the faces of Xu and Gu.

"They haven't heard from them yet, you go back to sleep first, the two of us can't hold it anymore." Gu's face was also very haggard.

In the past, no matter where Le Yi went, he would tell her where she went, and when she would come back, even if she couldn't come back, she would send someone to tell her in time. But this time it's dangerous.

However, in the past, there were so many winds and waves, and Le Yi came over, and Gu believed in his heart that his husband and son would be fine this time.

As the most senior person in the house, she must be able to support this family.

Yan Qingge slept for a while, even more tired than before going to bed, and the whole person was stunned and stunned.

The maids carried her back to her room, and she fell asleep in bed, and when she woke up, the night had passed.

"Uncle and Brother Xuan haven't heard any news yet?" Yan Qingge asked in a hoarse voice.

Xunshuang and asked Xuexue, you look at me, I look at you, Xunshuang knelt down with a plop, and said, "Miss, someone just sent my uncle back to the house, and he was injured." Master Cousin...... The young master didn't come back, and I heard that he was captured by the barbarians. ”

Yan Qingge's tiredness and drowsiness that seemed to be absent suddenly disappeared.

Her heart seemed to have been smashed with a hammer, and she walked out with her cloak scattered, forgetting to put on her shoes.

"Miss, Miss, put on your clothes and go out." Xunshuang and Wenxue hurried over, but Yan Qingge ran in a hurry, rushed out of the house in the blink of an eye, and ran outside with a vigorous body.

Don't look at Yan Qingge, who doesn't seem to move too much, in fact, his physical strength is much better than that of Xunshuang and Xuexue, and he can't catch up for a while.

The two of them hurriedly took a heavy fur coat, the other carried Yan Qingge's boots, and before leaving, they also grabbed a bronze woman in their hands, and went out to chase after Yan Qingge's snow marks on the ground.

After a night, the wind and snow piled up a thick layer in the yard that had been cleaned yesterday, and Yan Qingge's footprints were deeply imprinted in the snow, small and exquisite, and the shape of the round five toes could be seen.

She ran in the biting cold wind like a cracked knife, but she didn't notice the cold at all, her feet and body were completely numb from the cold, and the only thing she remembered was to run faster.

In Gu's house, there was an ominous silence.

If it was usually at this time, the people in the Gu family's courtyard would have gotten up early, and the maids would have come and gone to clean and fetch things, and the Gu family's door would have been open.

But today, the door of Gu's house was closed, and no one walked around casually.

Yan Qingge rushed to the door, pushed it vigorously, pushed the two doors open together, and rushed in like a whirlwind without caring about closing them.

There were two little maids guarding the door, and they just wanted to say something, but when they saw Yan Qingge's image, they immediately stopped.

She was wearing a thin cotton burqa that she only wore in the house, and she could see the thin middle single from the round neckline, and her feet were even more **, stained with fresh snow, which quickly melted after entering the house and turned into a little droplet.

Her feet were red from the cold, and her hands and face were red, but as if she didn't feel it, she walked towards the house.

When the curtain of the inner room was lifted, a warm heat rushed to his face, and Yan Qingge's hands and feet regained some consciousness, and he felt a terrible tingling pain.

There was a man lying on the bed, still unconscious, his resolute face was missing his usual cheerfulness, leaving only a deep frown, and gray and blood-lost lips, which looked extremely haggard.

"Auntie!" Yan Qingge lowered his voice, tears fell downward, and he grabbed the hand of Gu Shi who was twisting the handkerchief in the basin next to him.

Gu's eyes were red and swollen, and he had obviously cried once.

She hooked Yan Qingge's tears, and suddenly tears appeared in her eyes, but she forced herself to calm down, and said, "Good boy, your uncle is fine!" ”

"Is this still called okay?" Yan Qingge gently lifted the corner of the quilt and looked at it, only to see that Le Yi was changed into a clean new middle coat and pants inside. The waist and legs and clothes were cut open, revealing layers of cloth wrapped in wounds, and the smell of blood came to my nose.

"Your uncle! It's the first time I've lived to such an old age. Gu couldn't help it, choked up and said to Yan Qingge.

She has had a smooth life over the years, she has been surviving under the wings of Le Yi, and later Le Xuan grew up, and she also took care of her everywhere, fundamentally speaking, she is actually no different from the little girl who just married into the Le family, she has never experienced such a tragic thing.

Her husband was seriously injured, her son's life and death were uncertain, and for her, the sky had fallen.

Yan Qingge knew Gu's soft nature, shook her hand, and said, "Auntie, what about the person who sent my uncle back?" I'm going to meet them. ”

Gu Shi said blankly: "I arranged for them to rest in the guest room, they were all injured, Lang Zhong should have just shown them at this time." ”

Yan Qingge nodded, knowing that the only person in the family who could be relied on at this time was himself, and shook Gu's hand tightly.

At this moment, Xun Shuang and Wen Xue also rushed over panting, and gave Yan Qingge clothes and shoes.

Because he wanted to see a foreign man, Yan Qingge went back to quickly freshen up and dress up, and walked towards the guest room.

In the guest room, the three soldiers who sent Le Yi back, they were soldiers of the Great Zhou station, defending in a small town a hundred miles away from Qingzhou, and in the middle of the night yesterday, an old horse carried the unconscious Le Yi to the town.

Because Le Yi often patrolled around Qingzhou, people recognized him, saw that he was injured, and wanted to keep him for medical treatment, but Le Yi woke up in the middle and had to go back to Yuhu City, and said that there were barbarians chasing soldiers behind him, and staying in the town would harm them.

So, the town sent a thirty-person escort team to escort Le Yi back, but he didn't expect to be caught up by the barbarians halfway, and he ran all the way to resist, thirty people became ten, and Le Yi was also injured.

This chasing army was very close to Yuhu City, and only then did they know the difficulty and retreat, for fear of being surrounded and suppressed by the large army stationed in Yuhu City. Fortunately, Le Yi was still alive at this time.

"My generation is fortunate not to be dishonored, and I will escort Lezhou Mu back to Yuhu City!" One of the least injured soldiers knelt on one knee to Yan Qingge, and said with tears in his eyes.

The companions who died this time were all from their group, and they usually ate and slept together and trained together, but they didn't expect that only the three of them survived in the world.

The voices and smiles of the companions are still in the ears, but they can no longer be seen, and they can't even find their bodies, such a snowy day, the wolves and other beasts in the wild of Qingzhou are short of food and drink, and when they smell blood, they will inevitably drag their corpses away to share the food, and they can't even leave their bones.

Yan Qingge was also sad in her heart, but the most important thing for her now was to ask all the conditions.

Enduring the discomfort in his heart, Yan Qingge asked all the things carefully, and did not let go of the slightest detail.

The matter of Le Xuan's arrest was told to these soldiers by Le Yi when he woke up in the middle, and they didn't know more details.

Yan Qingge thanked the three brave soldiers and returned to the Gu family.

Le Yi was not only unconscious, but also had a high fever, and at the order of Lang Zhong, the braziers in the house were withdrawn a few times, and they became cold.

She asked Gu Shi, Le Yi didn't wake up, he was very anxious, now the only one who knows what barbarians Le Xuan was captured by and where he was arrested, only Le Yi is there, and if he delays for a moment, the more difficult it will be to guarantee Le Xuan's safety.

At this moment, a maid came over to report and said, "Madam, Niangniang, a monk came outside, saying that he knew the whereabouts of our young master." ”

Yan Qingge and Gu were both overjoyed, and said, "Invite him into the house." ”

The two of them hurried forward together.

The monk was about forty years old, wearing a somewhat tattered cotton monk's robe, looking a little thin, holding a string of wooden Buddha beads in his hand, very simple.

Seeing him, Yan Qingge endured the excitement in his heart, performed the Buddha salute, and said, "Dare to ask how the master is called, where is my brother Le Xuan?" ”

The monk pointed at Yan Qingge and said with a smile: "The little monk recognizes the female benefactor!" ”

Yan Qingge was stunned for a moment, but now is not a good time to recognize the old, she forcibly endured the anger in her heart and showed a smile: "How can the master recognize me." I also hope that the master will tell Le Xuan the news, and the little girl's family will be grateful. ”

"The little monk used to be a monk in the Red Lotus Temple, and the female benefactor went to the Red Lotus Temple a few times, and the female donor didn't remember the little monk, but the little monk remembered the female donor."
