Chapter 4: Forced to leave home
Recently, Wei found that Feng Ping was not in the house all night, and it was almost dawn this night, and Wei finally waited for Feng Ping who returned from outside in the courtyard in his coat.
After the two looked at each other for a while, Wei laughed at himself:
"Is Miss okay?"
Feng Ping's guilty expression flashed, "It's just that there is no danger for the time being under house arrest, I'm just worried about Childe's body, the cold poison is already extremely dangerous." ”
"Then have you found your uncle?"
When Feng Ping heard this, he was even more sad,
"I haven't found it yet, Uncle Shi and his old man are wandering, and I just heard some traces of him."
"You've been going out at night a lot lately, but be careful, after all, you're in such a dangerous situation!"
The guilt in Feng Ping's heart crawled all over his eyes, he had paid this woman for so many years, but she didn't have a word of complaint in front of him, she didn't have a single request, and always silently obeyed his arrangement.
"Yu Niang, the most sorry people in my life are you and Bao'er."
Wei's sad face flashed with despair, "At this time, I don't blame you for my life, if you want to blame me, it's just my own wishful thinking, it's just that Xiaoxi is your bloodline, she is very smart!" Don't tell him a lot of things, otherwise it will hurt her even more. According to her nature, she will not accept you. ”
On this day, Xiaoxi saw the girl who was buying a yarn hat in the shop on the street again, and the girl was stunned by the wanted criminals on the city wall, and there were tears in her eyes.
Xiaoxi followed her gaze to see the wanted criminals on the wall, a little surprised, and thought that the wanted criminals were different, the previous ones were all scruffy bearded and fierce faces, although the portrait is a little blurred, judging from the outline, he is still a scholar with a delicate face.
Xiaoxi only paid attention to the portrait of the man, and did not look at what was written in the handwriting next to him, when there was a push and shoving next to him, and the crowd was dispersed by several officers and soldiers.
"Have you seen this person, if you see it, you must report it to the magistrate, and there is a reward, if you don't report it according to the truth, it is a capital crime, you know"
There was a whisper in the crowd, Xiaoxi saw that the girl was gone, and then remembered that she was here to buy pastries for the shopkeeper lady, and gave herself a hard slap and stomped on the foot and hurried to the pastry shop.
It was already dark at night, and the five princes in the hall had not rested, and his henchmen next to him were reporting the information they had obtained.
"Lord Wang, according to our spies, the prince's people have traced down Liyang County, but no one has been found, and they have issued a wanted warrant in Liyang County."
The fifth prince pondered for a while and commanded:
"Cheng Yu, the people who called us continue to watch, the prince actually issued a wanted warrant in Liyang, and he must have found the trace of the ninth brother."
Cheng Yu asked suspiciously: "Lord Wang, why don't you see any will from the emperor?" ”
I saw him smile knowingly, got up and stood in front of the window, shook his head and laughed, "This is the royal family, the truth of some things is hidden behind common sense, and what you see after peeling off the cocoon is the truth." ”
Then he picked up the teacup on the coffee table, and said sadly and helplessly:
"Although the prince helped the queen trip over the Liang family this time, it was indeed to solve a heart problem for his father, but the Liang family really stumbled, he moved the ninth brother without authorization, and he will definitely anger his father, the reason why the father has not moved now, he has his own considerations, the reason why the prince hates the ninth brother so much is also because he is afraid of his hidden power and the foundation of the Liang family. The prince thought that he had defeated a docile antelope, but in fact he was insulting a sleeping lion, and once the lion awakened and counterattacked, it would be fatal. ”
This night Xiaoxi was still asleep when Wei woke up, Wei hurriedly put on Xiaoxi's coat without much explanation, and gave Xiaoxi the burden on his hand, Xiaoxi who was confused looked at his mother with unclear eyes, put on cloth boots for her and pulled her out, it seemed that the situation was very dangerous.
Walking to the door, Xiaoxi was woken up by a cool breeze, "Mother, what are you going to do, you don't sleep at night, where are you going to take me." ”
"Xi'er, don't ask, go first with your master, and my mother will pick you up when she is settled."
At this time, Xiaoxi saw the situation in the courtyard, and several corpses were lying in the courtyard one after another, fighting together. made Xiaoxi very scared,
"Mother, what's going on, what's going on." No one answered Xiaoxi, and a carriage had already stopped in the courtyard.
Wei pushed Xiaoxi into the car, Xiaoxi didn't want to break free from her mother, but was helplessly put to sleep by an old man.
The next morning, Xiaoxi opened her eyes, and the scene from last night was in front of her again, and the moment she immediately got up and pushed the door open, she felt like she was going crazy.
This is a very strange place at all, she stands in the middle of the courtyard surrounded by mountains, and the place where she stands is a relatively hidden wooden house courtyard, full of lush trees, at first glance, it is a very remote deep mountain, which is different from the mountain forest where she digs herbs, which makes her very afraid.
Xiao Xi couldn't help shouting, "Someone, where is this?" ”
"You wake up, you don't have to be afraid, this is Qinglong Mountain." I saw a woman of the same age as her, dressed in white clothes, she was smart and lively, and appeared in front of Xiaoxi.
"Who are you, and why did you tie me up here?"
"Whoever wants to tie you up, I'm here to save your life," a white-haired old man came to the courtyard and sat down on a leisurely chair, picked up the tea on the table and began to drink.
"It's you, why knocked me out?" Xiaoxi asked the old man angrily,
"Haha, I don't know how thick the sky is, I saved you at that time, otherwise you would have been killed by those people last night, if it weren't for your father, I wouldn't have bothered to care about you, the claws were so sharp that I scratched a few blood marks on my face."
In the end, Xiaoxi guessed that it was his father and the enemy of the Nine Leaves Son who came to the door, fortunately they saved her, and also knew that the Wei family was just taking care of the injured Feng Ping under the mountain.
Xiaoxi knew that she was wrong to blame the old man after she sorted out her clues, what she should hate was his father and that Jiuye, if they hadn't dragged her down, how could she have a home and not be able to go back, and she couldn't do a job, now it's so busy in the shop, she won't want her if she hasn't been to the shopkeeper for a long time, and there is no work now.
Xiaoxi was depressed, but the old man was rambling on the side, complaining that Feng Ping was dragging him down again, and he hadn't played enough outside.
It wasn't until Yiyi asked her to eat that she came to her senses, it turned out that the woman's name was Yiyi, her name was good-sounding and beautiful, and she was given food to eat, Xiaoxi liked it very much, but this meal was too unpalatable.
The old man gloated and laughed at Xiaoxi on the side, and then looked at the woman's embarrassed appearance, Xiaoxi swallowed it with difficulty, but this salt was too much, and Xiaoxi was uncomfortable.
When Xiaoxi knew that Jiuye was also coming, he was in a hurry to settle accounts with him, but he was the one who couldn't see him during the day, and he only saw Jiuye at night.
I just saw Jiuye in green clothes leaning on the head of the bed, his complexion was like jade, he looked handsome, and his expression was calm, although his sick appearance could make people feel more pity.
Jiuye Gongzi chuckled and called, "Xiaoxi," Xiaoxi, who was menacing at the beginning, was stunned for a while, and when he heard Jiuye's voice, his momentum rose again.
"Don't think you're good-looking, I won't be angry with you."
"I know, Xiaoxi is a drag on you this time, and I will compensate you in the future."
Xiaoxi was even more angry when he heard him say compensation, and he was very uneasy when he thought about his current situation.
"I don't want it later, I'm going to make amends now."
Jiuye Gongzi is really a little embarrassed now, with his living environment, he rarely encounters a difficult woman like Xiaoxi, and he doesn't know what to do.
"What compensation does Xiaoxi want?"
Xiaoxi wanted to secretly go down the mountain to find her mother, but now that she had no money, she blurted out, "Give me ten taels of silver, just do it." ”
Jiuye took out a jade pendant from his body, and Xiaoxi saw that this jade pendant was clear, shiny, and emerald and warm, and it was worth a lot of money at a glance.
"This is too precious, I don't want it, I just want silver."
Jiuye was very surprised, she didn't expect Xiaoxi to refuse, and he never carried silver on him, how could his identity have ever cared about such trivial things as silver, but now he encountered Xiaoxi's direct request, which made him really embarrassed.
"Xiaoxi, I really don't have any silver"
Xiaoxi looked at Jiuye Gongzi in embarrassment, and the fire in his heart was even bigger,
"I have a jar at home, and there are already twenty taels of silver in it, which I have saved for many years, and now it must have been robbed by those people, and I can't go back now that I have a home, and the shopkeeper will definitely not want me."
Xiao Xi cried while talking, and ran out sadly after speaking, ignoring the anxious shouts of Jiuye behind him, this time he finally saw anxiety and worry on his face. He also hated his body, and he didn't have the strength to catch up and say "I'm sorry" to her.
Now the old man Ling Yunzi spends most of his time helping Jiuye heal every day, plus Jiuye will soak in the medicine pool every day, and the cold poison in Jiuye's body has been alleviated after this period of healing.
Ling Yunzi is known as a medical saint in the rivers and lakes, but if he wants to completely cure Jiuye's Xuanbing cold poison, he also needs some time to make some difficulties, and the effect of dispensing and testing drugs in the pharmacy these days is still not very good.
Jiuye also seems to understand that he cooperates with Ling Yunzi's treatment every day, and he is not impatient or asks too much, but occasionally he still knows the condition of his body.
Recently, she has been taking care of Jiuye decoction, Xiaoxi naturally ignores this patient, and the most she does is to cook it so that she doesn't starve, although the food she cooks is not as good as Wei's, but the normal taste is still okay. The rest of the time was devoted to digging herbs all over the mountain, and a large area of the room where she and Yiyi slept was already full of herbs.
Jiuye is very late after healing every day, and I can't see Xiaoxi, I have seen a few times and want to talk to Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi naturally ignores him, Jiuye makes her lose so much, how can she easily forgive, anyway, Wei is not here, and no one can take care of her here.
