The inside and outside of the post house seem to be separated by two heavens.

Outside the door, not far away is the most lively and prosperous street in Yunjiaji, where people come and go, bustling, not afraid of today's cold weather.

Inside the door, there were many braziers lit, and even curtains were hung in the corridor to keep out the wind, but there was still a heavy chill.

Xing Ruyi was wrapped in a big fur cloak, and his whole body shrunk in the fur, revealing only a pair of smart eyes. With her head down, her hands hidden in her sleeves and the hand-warming stove tightly gripped, she followed Chang Tai step by step, through the cold corridor, and stopped in front of a guest room door.

To be honest, she regretted that she had promised Chang Tai to come to see Li Yan the day before. I knew it was such a ghost weather, and I would have to delay it for two days to say anything.

He had just stopped at the door when he heard a slight cough coming from inside the door. Xing Ruyi looked up at Chang Tai and asked, "Brother Chang, do you know where the general's illness comes from?" ”

"How?" Chang Tai looked back at Xing Ruyi: "Could it be that Ruyi, what did you hear from this cough?" ”

"Ruyi is not a fairy, how can he tell what disease this patient is suffering from just by coughing. It's just that the general's light cough is a little rapid in the depression, and there is a slight murmur in the cough, which proves that the general not only has some problems in his lungs, but also his throat doesn't seem to be very comfortable. ”

"You don't understand these big brother Chang, I only know that the general's illness was originally contracted by the wind and cold in the camp tent, first coughing, followed by fear of wind, and then the whole person quickly lost weight, and his body became weaker and weaker, and when he returned to Shendu from the border pass, he was already unable to walk. By the way, the general is still a little afraid of light, so from Shendu all the way to Yunjiaji, they mostly choose the weather is gloomy or at night, and all the places in this post house that are transparent to the wind and light are also covered as much as possible. ”

"So serious?" Xing Ruyi frowned: "It is said that the general is a person who practices martial arts, and his body should be stronger than ordinary people." If it was just a small wind chill, even if the military doctor did not handle it properly at that time, it would not have spread to such a serious point. ”

"Don't talk about the general himself about this matter, even I have some doubts in my heart. Otherwise, I wouldn't have persuaded you many times to let the general come to you for healing. Chang Tai sighed and knocked twice on the door: "Let's go and have a look first." ”

Before the words fell, the door opened.

There was a plain-clothed woman standing in the door, phoenix eyebrows like the moon, a pair of eyes like autumn water with a little ripple, and a half-pursed cherry lips under the beautiful nose.

Seeing Chang Tai and Xing Ruyi standing outside the door, the plain-clothed woman was slightly stunned, and hurriedly let go of her half-pursed mouth, the corners of her mouth pulled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"Master Chang is here, please come in. Just now, the general was still talking about my lord. The plain-clothed woman turned sideways: "The girl behind Master Chang is the one?" ”

can come out of the general's room, there are still tears of grievance on his face, and he sees Chang Tai's unrestrained beautiful woman, in this post house, I am afraid that only the general's wife is wooden.

Thinking of this, Xing Ruyi bowed slightly: "Xing Ruyi has spoken to the general's wife!" ”

"You're welcome, girl, please come in!"

Mu Xi turned sideways again and welcomed Chang Tai and Xing Ruyi into the room together. There were some candles lit in the room, but these candles were placed far away from the general, and the general Li Yan was half-lying on the chaise longue, his whole body was wrapped in clothes, and only his two eyes were exposed. Seeing Chang Tai, there was a trace of vitality in his dark eyes.

"Brother Li, this is Ruyi, I told you before. If you don't mind, can you ask her to come forward and take a closer look for you? ”

"Forget it! I have received your heart. Li Yan said weakly: "I, Li Yan, can get to know you in this life, which is already a blessing." Although I have been a descendant of the Li family since I was a child, I have lived a cautious life. When I was a child, my parents didn't allow me to go out, because I was afraid that I would be harmed, and secondly, I was worried that I would harm others. Therefore, I can only practice martial arts desperately, desperately learn those art of war, thinking that one day, even if I step out of that door, I don't have to fear anyone. I can protect myself and anyone I want to protect. ”

"You did it!" Chang Tai said sincerely.

Li Yan shook his head: "Once, I thought I had done it. I galloped on the battlefield and was not afraid of the enemy, not because I was a master of art and courage, but because I knew that I had no choice but to fight my way out. Because I don't want to be like my parents, cautious, trembling, and frightened. Either I'll live in the sun, or I'll die by the enemy's sword.

Finally, I got to the place I had always wanted to go, and I became a general and a hero that everyone admired in the mouth of the people of Biansai. I rode my war horse, led my soldiers, stared at the scorching sun overhead, and walked on the road of welcome. I also feel like I did. From now on, I can be the real Li Yan again, I can protect myself, protect my family, and protect anyone who is close to me and who I want to be close to. But only now do I realize that I was thinking too much about myself. ”

"Why does Brother Li think like this?"

Li Yan glanced at Xing Ruyi: "This girl is your sweetheart, right?" ”

"Brother Li, don't talk nonsense, Ruyi regards me as a brother, and I will naturally take care of her as a sister. She has a fiancé and is a very good man. ”

"Brother Chang's words are obvious, and there are still some things to say. But, that's it. If you were me, you would understand that in this life, it is enough to be happy to have someone you like and miss you. ”

"Brother Li, you have your wife by your side, how can you be like me, you are still alone."

Chang Tai said, and also glanced at Xing Ruyi.

It's not that Xing Ruyi can't understand the conversation between the two, but even if he understands it, what can he do? So she could only stand with her head down, and even with some embarrassment on her face.

Li Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth, followed by a series of light coughs. Mu Xi heard the cough and hurriedly ran over, still holding a bowl of black things in his hand.

"General, even if Mu Xi begs you, drink this medicine."

Li Yan swept towards Mu Xi with a cold eye, and Xing Ruyi actually saw indifference and hostility in his gaze.

"Mu Xi, please! When your illness is cured, it doesn't matter how you want to punish Mu Xi when the time comes. Mu Xi just wants the general to be well, even if Mu Xi dies, he is willing. ”

"Get out!" Li Yan stood up hard and looked at Mu Xi with a grim gaze: "I'll let you out!" I'll tell you to get out of here with all this poison of yours! ”

"Brother Li!" Chang Tai stopped in front of Mu Xi, and comforted Li Yan back to his original position with his right hand: "You are not in good health, and your temper is growing, I can understand all this." But Mrs. She has been busy taking care of you these days, even if she has no credit, she is also a little hard. Why do you want to take all your sickness on her? Brother Li, this doesn't look like you! ”

"Not like me? So what am I like? Li Yan smiled bitterly and lay back: "Brother Chang, I beg you to let her out." I don't want to see her right now! By the way, didn't you say to ask your Ruyi girl to help me diagnose my illness? Then come on. ”

"General" Mu Xi called in a low voice, and his beautiful eyes were full of tears.

"Get out! Get out! If you don't want to die now, get out of here with your stuff! Get out of the way, and don't let me see you again! ”

Li Yan said indifferently, and then closed his eyes gently.

Mu Xi bit his lip vigorously and said meekly: "Okay! Mu Xi went out, and Mu Xi no longer bothered the general. It's just that Mu Xi pleaded with the general, don't hurt yourself because Mu Xi is angry. If you go, how can you get it back if you owe you? ”

Li Yan's eyelids twitched slightly, but they never opened.

When Mu Xi passed by Xing Ruyi with the bowl of black medicine, Xing Ruyi smelled a stronger fruity fragrance. It turned out that the aroma did not emanate from Mu Xi's body, but this bowl of black decoction.

"Madame!" Xing Ruyi called Mu Xi, and a pair of ghost eyes passed through the appearance of Mu Xi, only looking inside. "Madame, please be relieved, the general's illness, Ruyi will do her best. Also, this man's temper is usually not as good as our woman's, and the general has been sick in bed for a long time, so his temperament will inevitably become weirder. Madam, be more tolerant, and don't hurt your heart because of the general's words. ”

"Thank you, Miss Ruyi! General, he's a good guy. The reason why he scolded Mu Xi was all because of Mu Xi's fault, Mu Xi did not do a good job, and Mu Xi was incompetent. For so long, not only did he not take good care of him, but his condition became more and more serious. ”

Mu Xi raised his head as he spoke, and looked at Xing Ruyi with a pair of eyes: "If Ruyi girl can save the general, Mu Xi is willing to give everything!" ”

"Ma'am?"

Mu Xi knew that the girl was no ordinary healer. Mu Xi also believes that the girl has long seen that Mu Xi is not an ordinary person. Therefore, the girl does not have to be taboo, if she can save the general, Mu Xi is willing to do anything, and she is willing to do anything. ”

"Ruyi understood!"

Ruyi nodded, bowed, and sent Mu Xi away from the room.

The general's wife is not a person, this is something that Xing Ruyi never thought of before she came to the post house, as for the bowl of soup and medicine in Mu Xi's hand, Xing Ruyi also believed that it was definitely not made of ordinary medicinal materials. Because when talking to Mu Xi, she once accidentally glanced at Mu Xi's wrist, which was wrapped with a thick layer of military cotton yarn.

Also, Mu Xi's face is definitely not a face that she has conjured up herself. On that face, what is glued is human skin, and it is also a real **.
