In the middle of the night, it began to rain, at first it was only a drizzle, but by dawn it was already beginning to fall, and the rain was dripping from the rooftops, making it impossible to sleep.

Zhao Yiheng sighed, covered the quilt with a slight musty smell on top of his head, and turned over unhappily, only then did he feel that his back hurt badly, and he couldn't help but gasp.

This injury was left when he led away those people in black, maybe he didn't feel anything at the moment of life and death, but this time the whole person relaxed and knew the pain, he had a somewhat aggrieved flat mouth, and muttered: "I really don't know if I owe that girl in my last life." ”

Then he endured the pain and was about to sleep for a while, when he was in a daze, and suddenly heard a rapid knock on the door.

The knock on the door was not loud, but it was very urgent, and the sound of the rain was mixed with a woman's delicate voice: "Brother Heng, wake up quickly, Miss Mu, Miss Mu is about to die." ”

Zhao Yiheng, who originally wanted to pretend to be asleep, sat up from the bed made of wooden planks violently, and inadvertently pulled the wound on his back, grinning in pain, and couldn't control it at this time, he opened the squeaky dilapidated wooden door in three or two steps: "What do you mean it's almost gone?" ”

Bai Youling was wearing a washed coarse linen shirt and pants that could not be seen clearly, and a flower cloth towel wrapped her hair, so the village girl's dress still couldn't hide her delicate face, and when she saw Zhao Yiheng open, her eyes instantly turned red: "It's been burned all night, all the nonsense, the doctor said that she has more air in and less gas, but I'm afraid it won't work, Uncle Liang went to borrow a car, and I have to send Miss Mu to the town to see the doctor in a while." ”

Uncle Liang and Aunt Liang are an old couple who depend on each other, and they had a daughter in their early years, but they were no longer raised, so they had to support each other to live. Coincidentally, a few days ago, she rescued an extraordinarily dressed Bai Youling by the river, and before her family could find her, she rescued the injured Zhao Yiheng and the unconscious Mu Mingshu.

Although he is a countryman and has little knowledge, he knows that he is not an ordinary person by looking at the dress of these people, although he doesn't know what is going on between Zhao Yiheng and Mu Mingshu, Liang Bo still rescued a few people and took them in.

But since yesterday at noon, when Zhao Yiheng and Mu Mingshu were rescued, Bai Youling gave up the jewelry from himself and asked Uncle Liang to invite a doctor to take a look.

Zhao Yiheng had a skin injury, and he was fine if he bandaged it, but Mu Mingshu had been unconscious, and he couldn't see anything on his pulse, so the doctor had to wait until he woke up. But in the evening, Mu Mingshu not only didn't wake up, but also began to burn, Liang Bo walked again, the doctor prescribed two medicines, and then Aunt Liang grabbed and fried a bowl for Mu Mingshu to pot, and the fever subsided in less than half an hour, and he didn't want to start burning again in the middle of the night, and he was in a coma and said some unclear nonsense.

At this time, she couldn't even talk nonsense, Aunt Liang saw that something was wrong, and quickly dug up Uncle Liang, and before dawn, she went to find the foot doctor again, and the pulse was very weak.

The footman frowned, and didn't dare to heal anymore, saying that he had more air in and less air, and asked them to pull people to the town.

Although Bai Youling and Mu Mingshu are not very familiar with each other, they have had a relationship with each other, and they are familiar with Yang Qinghe, and they are so frightened that they only know how to shed tears, and only after half a ring reluctantly took off a white jade bracelet from their hands and handed it to Aunt Liang: "Aunt Liang, please ask for your help, save the sister of the Mu family." ”

That Aunt Liang is also a person, the first time she saw such a good bracelet, she immediately asked her old man to borrow an ox cart, and sent a few people to the town in a while. Bai Youling also hurriedly came to inform Zhao Yiheng, so that he could be prepared later.

As soon as Zhao Yiheng heard that Mu Mingshu was breathing in more and less breathing, his face immediately changed, and he went to the mud house in front of him wrapped in ill-fitting coarse linen black cloth shoes.

Mu Ming lay on the shabby wooden bed lifelessly, covered by a blue-green coarse linen quilt, his cheeks were burned red, and his originally beautiful and full lips were also chapped and peeled due to heat.

Aunt Liang put a handkerchief soaked in cold water on Mu Mingshu's forehead, and said to Zhao Yiheng: "The doctor said that this child is not good, I have asked the old man to borrow an ox cart, I have to go to the town to take a look." ”

Zhao Yiheng nodded at Aunt Liang, sat on the edge of the bed, took Mu Mingshu's hand out of the quilt, and suddenly changed his face when he touched the pulse, and then reached out to probe his nose, his brows became more and more frowned.

I finally snatched her from the hands of those men in black, so that the corpse would not be scared to death.

Zhao Yiheng frowned and pondered for a while before asking Bai Youling: "Does she have obvious injuries on her body?" ”

Aunt Liang and Bai Youling changed the clothes for Mu Mingshu, and they had all seen whether there were any injuries on their bodies, and they only said: "Except for the serious injuries on the knees and feet, the rest is just bruises." ”

"I'll see." Zhao Yiheng said that, he lifted the quilt under Bai Youling's surprised gaze, and carefully examined Mu Mingshu's knees and feet. The knee was bruised, and it was terrible to look at, but it was only a skin injury, and the feet were worn out because of walking too much, and there was no problem.

At the moment, his face was even more ugly, and he asked with a serious face: "Aunt Liang, how long will it take to go to Kyoto this time?" ”

This is a small place, and if you want Zhao Yiheng and them to be a noble son, you must not know where it is, so you can only ask how long it will take for the people in this village to return to Kyoto.

Aunt Liang has lived in this small village for most of her life, and the farthest she has gone is only in the town, so she can't answer him at the moment, so she just said, "I have to ask the old man to see if he knows." ”

When Liang Bo borrowed the ox cart, it was already dawn, and he pulled the ox cart into the fence yard with his back deep and shallow feet, and shouted in a vicissitudes of voice: "Old woman, the dry food has not been prepared, and the child's illness cannot be delayed." ”

Aunt Liang was busy on the stove, and when she heard the words, she wiped her hands twice on her body, and responded: "It's all right." ”

The rain outside gradually became lighter, but it was still drizzling, Zhao Yiheng wrapped Mu Mingshu in a quilt and hugged the unshed ox cart like a zongzi, and Bai Youling also sat on it with a coat, holding the dry food given by Aunt Liang in his arms.

Before leaving, she gave Aunt Liang the only white jade bracelet left on her body, and she was so happy that she took a few hot white flour steamed buns from the stove and stuffed them into Bai Youling's hands, and said with a smile: "There are not many white noodles at home, there are only a few of them, you can keep them to eat on the road." ”

Liang Bo left here slowly with the ox cart, Zhao Yiheng hugged Mu Mingshu tightly in his arms, and said in a low voice: "When you return to Beijing, I will let someone redeem it for you." ”

He recognized Bai Youling's pair of jade bracelets, which were given to her by the first queen, and she liked them since she was a child.

Bai Youling smiled at Zhao Yiheng a little reluctantly: "It's okay, those are all things outside the body." ”

Say only one sentence and never speak again.

The ox cart walked slowly on the country road, and because of the rain, the road was full of potholes, and it took an hour to reach the town.

Zhao Yiheng asked Uncle Liang, to go to Kyoto here, it will take half a day to travel by water, and if you set up an ox cart, you will definitely have to walk for a day and a night, and the carriage can be faster. This place is remote, and Zhao Yiheng did not dare to seek assistance from local officials, so he went to find a dart bureau by himself and asked the dart master of the dart bureau to escort them back to Kyoto.

The dart bureau was very fast, and it didn't take long to prepare the carriage and the horses, and when the three of them got into the car, they set off immediately.

Zhao Yiheng put Mu Mingshu on the carriage with a cotton mattress, looked at her colorless face, and somehow suddenly felt a trace of reluctance, pulled the messy hair on her cheeks behind her ears, and chuckled: "Mu Mingshu, Mu Mingshu, if you die like this, won't this king become a widower." ”

He lowered his eyelids and was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "It is better to die, and when you lie on the coffin, you can still enjoy those you hate or who hate you to bow and incense, but they must be happy in their hearts." ”

Zhao Yiheng was about to get out of the car, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, he saw Bai Youling standing upright in front of the carriage, and then asked with a stiff smile when he met Zhao Yiheng's gaze: "Brother Heng, what did you give to these people?" ”

She knew that the dart board was to take people's money and escort people or things for people, so she said that.

Zhao Yiheng's face was as usual, and he said in a faint voice: "Jade." ”

The rules of the dart industry are to pay half first, and then pay half after completing the task, he has nothing of value on him, but a Yun Guiren gave him the jade plate that he brought to grow up from childhood and Mu Mingshu's rosewood comb, he felt that his life with Mu Mingshu and Bai Youling was much more valuable than the jade card, so he took the jade card without thinking about it.

When Bai Youling heard this, her face became more and more stiff, and then she was a little annoyed: "I knew that I would leave a bracelet before." ”

That jade card, she knows, she has seen him with her since she was a child, and she never leaves her, and she doesn't want to be forced to mortgage it by the situation now.

Zhao Yiheng waved his hand: "It's okay, those are all things outside the body." ”

Bai Youling couldn't say a word.

There are a total of ten dart masters, Mu Mingshu Bai Youling and Zhao Yiheng sit in two carriages, in addition to the two dart masters who drive, there is also a dart master who reports in advance, and the rest are all in the car.

The carriage is just an ordinary carriage, although it is much faster than the ox cart, but it is not as fast as a good horse and a good cart, and it travels non-stop for six hours along the way, not only the people can't bear it, but the horses can't bear it.

The head of the dart master is surnamed Huang, known as Master Huang, and shouted loudly with his hand raised: "Rest on the spot for an hour." ”

It's not very far from Kyoto, just cross the Black Wind Mountain in front of you, and walk for another two hours to the outskirts of Kyoto.

The Black Wind Mountain is located in a remote area, the mountain peaks are steep, and every year this mountain does not know how many people die, Master Yi Huang is also very careful, and wraps all the horses' hooves in cloth to avoid slipping for a while.

It's just that before they could enter the Black Wind Mountain, they were attacked.
