Chapter 13 Acacia walnuts
At this time, Wen Dai spit out another mouthful of blood, Wen Cang hugged her, and said, "Dai'er, don't be afraid, wait for me to lose your true qi and continue your life." ”
Yu Yao said: "Sister Wen is really a poor person, okay, Brother Wen, I am willing to help you, with the strength of you and me, I will definitely be able to save Sister Wen's life." ”
Wen Cang said with tears: "Brother Yu repays his grievances with virtue, I am really grateful. ”
Wen Dai suddenly grabbed Wen Cang's shirt tightly and said, "Brother, don't!" I made a big mistake, it is irreparable, the court soldiers have not gone far, they will definitely come to attack the mountain again, my brother can't waste his true anger for me. ”
Wen Cang, Yu Yao, and Youwei only remembered that it was indeed as Wen Dai said, the army of the Han Dynasty was stationed under the mountain, and there would be a fierce battle in the future.
Wen Dai said to Youwei: "Your Royal Highness Princess, your whereabouts were indeed leaked by someone I sent out, causing the current catastrophe. The Han court is determined to win you, this matter, yes, I can't live with you. ”
Youwei knew that all her previous care and gestures were hypocritical, but today when she heard about her tortuous and bizarre life experience, and saw that her life was dying, she couldn't help but feel pity.
Youwei leaned down, approached Wen Dai, and said, "I know that you are also a poor person, and you can't help yourself. If the day is going to kill me, it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later. In my opinion, you should let the two brothers heal your injuries as soon as possible, and stay in the green mountains, not afraid of running out of firewood. ”
There was not a trace of blood on Wen Dai's pale cheeks, but at this moment a smile suddenly appeared.
"Sister, I know you're here for the dice and the dice. Indeed, I owe it to you. If I had a dice in my hand, I would give them to my sister. But as far as I know, there is no such thing in the village. When a man is about to die, his words are good. You, can you trust me? ”
Wen Cang also said: "Little sister is right. If there really was a miracle medicine that could bring the dead back to life, I would have taken it out to save my mother and sister. ”
Yu Yao and Youwei saw that they were sincere, so they naturally believed it, but they were also sad for themselves because it was difficult to find the exquisite dice.
This place is called Linglong Villa, but there are no exquisite dice, which is really a strange story through the ages.
Youwei's eyes were already misty, but she still forced a smile and said, "Believe, I believe you." ”
Wen Cang said to Wen Dai again: "Dai'er, don't worry, we owe the princess and Brother Yu their affection, and we will repay it for the brother on your behalf." If it is really our Wen family's thing, I will help them find it if they step on the iron shoes. ”
Wen Dai was like a gossamer, and she became weaker and weaker.
"That's good, that's good."
She trembled and tore something from her waist and clasped it in Vicky's hand.
"Sister, this is something that has been with our brothers and sisters since childhood, you can keep it for a thought."
Yu Yao said: "Sister Wen, don't talk about this, time is precious, let us heal your wounds." ”
Wen Dai looked around, and suddenly showed a smile like a rippling sunset and a hibiscus spring breeze, and then instantly fell silent like autumn wind and falling leaves.
Wen Cang hugged her body tightly and cried bitterly.
That is the Tiger Roaring Mountain Forest, which is deafening, and the people in the Linglong Mountain are all moved.
Vicky asked, "What's wrong?" What's going on? ”
Yu Yao sighed in a low voice: "Sister Wen, she, she has been menopausal. ”
Crushed peach blossoms are red all over the ground, and it is difficult to help Yushan when it falls.
Wen Cang had already lost his parents and just wanted to be with his sister, but in this way, there was another poor person in the world who had no relatives.
Youwei clutched the things that Wen Dai gave her tightly in her hand, speechless.
The next day, Wen Cang, with the help of Uncle Tang, had buried Wen Dai and others.
With the threshold to look at the distance, to the north wind and open the placket.
Yu Yao saw him standing alone in the tuyere, so he stepped forward and said, "You are tired for the past two days, go back and rest for a while." ”
Wen Cang said: "I grew up in this Linglong Mountain since I was a child, but now I don't recognize it anymore. I always feel that every grass and tree on this mountain is so unfamiliar. ”
Youwei said to Wen Cang: "This is what Sister Wen put in my hand that day, I think you should keep it for her." ”
In the sachet embroidered with yellow warbler wicker, it turned out to be a delicate and clear walnut.
Wen Cang said: "This is the thought left by the little sister to you, or the princess will take it for her!" One of our brothers and sisters, and you see, I have one. ”
Let's take off the bag embroidered with "Cangsong Welcome" on the waist, and it is indeed an identical walnut inside, which is like a twin with Fang Cai's one.
Wen Cang continued: "She regrets that she can't find the exquisite dice for you, this thing is also a treasure she has worn since she was a child, and I hope you don't dislike it." ”
Yu Yao thought that on the day he first entered Linglong Villa, he and Youwei had studied Wen Tingyun's two "Southern Song Zi Ci", and guessed that the secret of Linglong Dice might be in the Hehuan walnut, which seems to be the case.
Thinking of this, Yu Yao couldn't help but ask Wen Cang: "Since Linglong Villa has never had exquisite dice, why does everyone in the rivers and lakes know that the descendants of the Wen family have exquisite dice in their hands, and they have the effect of resurrecting the dead?" What are these two walnuts? ”
Wen Cang said: "I have always been puzzled about the delicate dice, and I asked my father a few times when I was a child, but he avoided answering. My mother didn't know about it. Now I know that that man is not my father, and of course he will not know the secret. These two walnuts are also family heirlooms, and our mother has always told us to take good care of them. I only know that it can ward off disasters and evil spirits, and it cannot be broken with swords and axes. But there are other tricks that we haven't been able to understand. It's a pity that now that both parents are no longer alive, they can't explore the reason and can't help the princess solve her difficulties, so they can only be regarded as a thought. ”
Youwei put the walnuts into the sachet, clenched them tightly, and said, "I will definitely keep them alive and live up to the Wen family's sister's dying intentions." ”
Wen Cang said: "Although it is inconvenient for me to ask more, but the princess is a noble woman, and she actually worked hard, traveled thousands of miles away from the country, and personally pursued the exquisite dice, which must be related to the death of the first emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty." I want to persuade the princess that life and death are all certain, not to mention that the current son of heaven in Da Zhou is eloquent and strategic, and loves the people like a son. I also lost all my loved ones overnight, and although the pain is not for outsiders, the dead are like this, and there is still a lot of unfinished business for the living. I hope that the princess can also let go of the obsession in her heart as soon as possible. ”
After the eldest princess of Yong'an took the delicate dice, Li Daitao's stiffness was too bizarre, and at this moment, Youwei didn't know how to explain it to Wen Cang, so she could only follow his meaning and say: "Thank you Brother Wen for your enlightenment, it is indeed useless to be too persistent." ”
Yu Yao hurriedly answered and said to Wen Cang: "Seeing that you are gradually opening your heart knot, I am also a lot more relieved." Now we have one more thing imminent, that is, the Han Dynasty court besieged the mountain, how can we get out of trouble? ”
Wen Cang said: "I expected that Zhuang Zhong must have been mixed with the spies of the imperial court, and he once secretly helped Dai'er deliver news. At this moment, the court must have learned that my parents are dead, and my sister is no longer alive, so I am afraid that it will be a matter of time before I attack the mountain again. ”
Youwei said: "But they must still be afraid of the skills of the two of you, and they dare not act rashly." ”
Wen Cang said: "Don't worry, Linglong Mountain is rich in products and sufficient supplies, even if it is surrounded for a year and a half, it will never be fine." However, if the imperial court really attacked the mountain in a big way, I was not sure of victory. ”
Yu Yao said: "We have seen the criss-crossing of the secret passage and secret rooms in Zhuangzhong these days, can we hide for a while?" Or is there another way out to avoid the soldiers who are besieging the mountain? ”
Wen Cang glanced at Youwei and said, "It's okay to avoid it for a while, but there are still some old and weak women and children in the village, and we can't abandon them." If the Han court can't find the princess, it will definitely not give up, and then the Linglong Mountain Villa will be destroyed in a small matter, and I am afraid that the entire Linglong Mountain will be ruined and become a sea of fire. ”
Youwei said: "Then is there any other way out?" ”
Wen Cang pondered for a moment and said, "As far as I know, all the roads down the mountain can't bypass the army that is encamped at the foot of the mountain. But maybe there is something I don't know, and I have to ask Uncle Tang about this matter. ”
Yu Yao said: "Brother Wen, talk in the house, it's windy outside, you have to take care of your body." ”
Wen Cang nodded, and instructed Bai Fu not far away: "Go and invite Uncle Tang to come to the front hall, there is something important to discuss." ”
Bai Fu took the order and went down.
Wen Cang, Yu Yao, and Youwei came to the front hall.
As she was walking, Youwei suddenly thought that on the day she first entered Linglong Villa, although everyone had their own thoughts, Wen Cang took the two of them to the village like this.
The same mullions and walls, the same hard hilltop brick houses, and even the four brick carved lions and a ruyi that metaphorize the "four times of Ruyi" are still in the distance, not moving at all.
But it looks much more depressed than before.
Youwei felt sad in her heart, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
In the front hall, Dai Mengtang was already waiting there.
Wen Cang shouted respectfully: "Uncle Tang." ”
Dai Mengtang said: "I've seen the young owner, no, the old man is really confused, and now he should have changed his name to the owner a long time ago." I've seen the owner, the princess, and the horse. ”
Wen Cang said: "Uncle Tang casually calls me anything, please take a seat." ”
Yu Yao sat down, and at the same time joked: "Uncle Tang still calls us Yu Gongzi and Yu Girl." The princess is also the princess of the Great Zhou, and Linglong Mountain is located in the Han Dynasty, and the people of the Han Dynasty are also up and down in the village. ”
Youwei said: "To put it very bluntly, we are called husband and wife, but in fact, we are brothers and sisters who have been playing together since childhood. Please also ask Uncle Tang to change back to his old title. ”
Dai Mengtang said: "Since this is the case, the old decay will die." ”
After saying that, he turned to Wen Cang and said, "I don't know if the owner of the village has summoned, is there anything important to order?" ”
Wen Cang said: "Two days ago, there was a funeral in the village, and I was immersed in grief for a long time. However, as the days go by, we will still need to be in the same boat for many days to come. Now the urgent need is that the soldiers and generals of the court under the mountain are unwilling to retreat, how can we ensure the integrity of the Yu family brothers and sisters? ”
Dai Mengtang said: "As long as the owner of the village gives an order, the people of the whole village will swear to defend Linglong Villa." ”
Wen Cang shook his head and said: "Short-handed combat is the next step, I want to ask Uncle Tang is that there is any secret way in the village that can send them out of the mountain without alerting the army of the imperial court?" ”
