At the end of June of the third year of Chengyuan, Gangneung Province ushered in heavy rain that had not been seen for a long time.

On the morning of June 29, the sky was clear, and at noon, black clouds rolled over the sky, and heavy rain fell like soybeans, and the sky and the earth were in chaos in the blink of an eye.

The people who didn't have time to run in the street were drenched, but no one complained, but laughter erupted, and the rain eased the drought and washed away the fear that people had accumulated because of the tengu swallowing the sun.

The rain continued to fall until the early morning of the first day of the seventh month, the rain collected clouds and scattered all over the courtyard, Li Fengchang, the second master of Li who was running in the courtyard, did not feel refreshed, nor did he have the intention to enjoy the beautiful scenery after the rain, he gasped for breath from time to time because of the galloping, and his face turned pale.

"Second master, slow down." The attendants around him followed at a trot.

A group of people ushered in, and when they saw Li Fengchang like this, several women were startled.

"Hurry up and help the master."

"Sir, slow down."

The strong servant woman rushed up and grabbed Li Fengchang left and right and hugged her arms.

Li Fengchang still rushed forward a few steps and shouted, "Don't stop me, how is Xian'er?" ”

The welcoming crowd surrounded him.

"Second brother, don't worry." A woman about 30 years old said, "The eldest lady is accompanied by the second sister-in-law. ”

Li Fengchang did not relieve his anxiety in the slightest, gasped a few breaths vigorously, and pushed away the servants.

"How many people are back?" He hurried inside again, "What the hell is going on?" Is Xian'er injured? ”

The women were busy keeping up, and the crowd hindered Li Fengchang's speed.

"Only Fang Er came back with him." The woman from before replied.

Li Fengchang didn't even know who Fang Er was.

"Catch the car for the eldest lady." The woman added, "As for what happened.... The eldest lady said that there was nothing to do. ”

How could nothing happen!

Disappeared halfway through, found the car smashed by the rocks and the horse that had been killed, and even if no bodies were found around, everyone speculated that people were dead.

Half a month later, the person returned home.

Hell if it's called nothing.

Something must be wrong! It is still inconvenient to say important things in front of people, Li Fengchang's face tensed, and his steps quickened into a courtyard.

There were many people in the courtyard, servants, girls, young women, and daughters-in-law, either sitting quietly, or whispering in twos and threes, seeing Li Fengchang ringing a greeting, and the quiet courtyard became lively, Li Fengchang waved his hand and ignored it and walked into the house.

There was a woman in the house, dressed elegantly, over forty years old, but with a neat posture and a hint of anxiety on her face, this was Li Fengchang's wife, Zuo.

"I got the news and rushed back overnight." Li Fengchang didn't greet each other and asked, "How is Xian'er?" ”

His gaze had already swept the room, except for Zuo and the two servants, and there was no one else in sight, and the door of the inner room was closed.

Zuo Shi didn't say much, his expression was solemn: "Master, Xian'er should be injured." ”

The smashed carriage and horse, the disappeared people, knew that something must be something, Li Fengchang took a deep breath: "What did the doctor say?" ”

Zuo said: "I haven't seen the doctor yet." ”

It's been a day and a night since he got home, Li Fengchang frowned, and Zuo raised his hand to his face.

"It's the face that hurts." She said.

......

......

"There must be something wrong with the face."

"Only this kind of injury doesn't need to be called a doctor."

"When I entered the door, the maids and servants saw it, and the eldest lady's head and face were wrapped."

"Grandmother won't let me see it."

"I speak and act very neatly, although I don't see anyone, I don't miss a meal."

Several girls sitting under the wisteria trellis in the courtyard were also talking, and the topic revolved around Li Minglou, who returned yesterday, and the eldest lady of the long house with the nickname Xian'er.

Being able to eat and drink is sometimes a reaction to a person's state.

Thinking of the table of food sent in at the right time, a girl pressed her stomach: "We couldn't sleep all night worrying, and we came here before dawn, and we couldn't care about it at all and were not in the mood to eat." ”

"The injury shouldn't be serious." Another girl agreed.

If you are seriously injured, how can you eat?

"But the wound on the face cannot be judged to be severe." One girl shook her head, "That's a face." ”

For girls, even a mosquito bite scar on the face is a big thing, and what kind of injury it will be to cover the head and face from being seen.

"No wonder I'm back." A girl muttered, "You can't marry the young master of the Xiang family like this." ”

A disfigured girl can't get married, and no one wants to marry a wife who can't look at her face.

This is the first thought of the girls who need to get married, but for Li Fengchang, he doesn't care about this.

After listening to Zuo's description of Li Minglou's return behavior, he was also sure that Li Minglou was not injured on his body, except for his face.

It should have been injured by a rock, he had already seen the scene of the accident in person, the carriage and horses were smashed, it was already incredible to be able to escape from it, and it was normal to leave injuries.

In any case, it is a great joy to have a life without worry.

Li Fengchang breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to Zuo's, walked to the door of the inner room and raised his hand and knocked gently: "Xian'er, it's always good to let the doctor take a look, and the injury on his face is not incurable." ”

Li Fengchang entered the door to talk to Zuo, the inner door was always silent, no matter how big the room was, it was impossible not to hear the outside talking inside.

At this time, Li Fengchang knocked on the door, and there was no more silence inside.

"Thank you, uncle." The female voice came, "I've already looked for a doctor, so I don't need to look for it anymore." ”

No need to look for it means that it can't be seen well.

Li Bong was often silent.

"There are many miracle doctors in the world." He said firmly, "You have to give it a try." ”

"Uncle bothered." The female voice said, "It's just not for the time being." ”

Li Fengchang was about to say something, Zuo pulled his sleeve and shook his head at him.

Although Li Fengchang was puzzled, he believed that his wife would accept it and persuade him, and the female voice in the room was calm and calm, which showed that her emotions were stable, and she was not confused.

Zuo gave him another look.

"Okay." He nodded, "It's good to come home safely, it doesn't matter if anything else, you can rest first." ”

"I know, uncle, don't worry." The female voice inside said.

"Then you rest, your aunt and I will go back first, and you can ask someone to call us if there is anything." Li Fengchang simply said.

The female voice inside thanked her, Zuo had already gone out first, let the people in the courtyard retreat, and after a period of noisy chaos, it was quiet, and Li Fengchang said a few more words to come out of the inside.

"Is it okay to leave her alone?" He frowned and whispered.

"It's not that it doesn't matter, the injury is on the face, and it is repeated for her to let the doctors see it over and over again." Zuo said, "Don't force her to collapse. ”

Women.... Li Fengchang took a deep breath: "The sooner the injury is treated, the better. ”

Zuo nodded in response: "Don't worry, the master has already asked people to search for famous doctors, and Xian'er will come back after half a month's trek, let her slow down first." ”

Li Fengchang nodded: "I don't know how much I've been offended in the past half a month." ”

Just let her slow down first, and ask some things in two days.

The footsteps sounded softly and far away, and there was no one else inside and outside the courtyard except the maid who was standing with her breath.

The woman standing by the window in the inner room withdrew her gaze and looked at the mirror on the dressing table by the window.

The head and face in the mirror were still wrapped in black cloth, and the deep gaze revealed through the gaps.

She Li Minglou is back.

But it wasn't half a month's trek, but ten years.

It's been ten years.
