Chapter Eighty-Five: Saving People on the Way Home
The early morning wind swept the streets with the traces of last night's carnival, and the horse bells of "Ding Lingling" echoed through the streets in the cold morning with the agitation of the wind.
At the entrance of the Mantang Red Restaurant, a set carriage stopped there. The three of them walked out of the restaurant, Xi Ning and Ethan got into the carriage, and Wei Rong's shopkeeper sent them out the door.
The sound of horses' hooves trampling on the bluestone slabs on the street was immediately heard, drowning in the streets preparing for the morning market, shuttling through the side of the vendors, and heading straight to the west gate of Yulong City.
In the carriage, Yan Lin and Yan Song sat in the innermost, with a thick quilt on their legs, and Xi Ning and Ethan sat near the door, thinking about their own thoughts.
"Master, there is a man in front of you who is injured and lying on the road." The voice of the shadow came, and Xi Ning lifted the curtain and looked ahead.
On the official road, which is not wide, men occupy half of the road, and if you don't save him, you will definitely press on him. This is the posture of saving if you don't save it, or you get out of the car and push him away.
Xi Ning was silent and hesitated. If it had been before, she would definitely have saved it, but after going through so much, her worries and doubts increased.
"Shadow, go down and see how it goes." Ethan said out loud, in this regard, it seems that Ethan is more decisive than Xi Ning. Xi Ning glanced at Ethan and found that Ethan was looking at the road and did not look at her. She moved her mouth, as if to explain something, but she did not say anything, and looked at the sleeping siblings.
"Master, he has suffered multiple external injuries and fell to the ground due to physical exhaustion." The shadow reports according to his own judgment.
"Let's get in the car!" Xi Ning was the first to speak. She jumped out of the car without waiting for Ethan to speak, and stood aside, which was considered to give way to send people into the car, Ethan glanced gloomily at Xi Ning, who was avoiding his eyes, and felt a little pain in his heart.
The shadow picked up the unconscious man and walked over. Xi Ning lifted the curtain and waited, Ethan removed the quilt from the carriage, freeing up a place for one person to lie down.
Everything was arranged, and the carriage was on the road again. Shadow whipped his whip and sped away, finding his next place before sunset.
When Xi Ning saw that the man he rescued turned out to be Wei Linyou, he was shocked. The man who was as warm as jade, with simple eyes. Say the words that death is liberation inside the dungeon. He was so thin then. Ethan had seen Wei Linyou when he was working with Wei Hongyu in the past, and knew who the sick man in front of him was, and took his pulse. It was found that he had no internal strength, with two internal injuries and multiple bruises.
"How did he end up in such a situation?" Ethan sighed: "At that time, he was also a talented man among the talented and beautiful women in the capital, and he and the other two sons were named talents, lust, and beauties. ”
"How's he hurt?" Xi Ning asked softly.
"No problem. Rub some wound medicine that invigorates blood and dispels blood stasis, and it can be healed after a few days of recuperation. Ethan looked into Xi Ning's eyes and said.
The Yan family siblings have always made their sense of existence to zero. Breathe as evenly as possible and pretend to be asleep. However, it was discovered by Xi Ning.
"Yan Song, don't pretend to be asleep. Apply these medicines to this son's body. Xi Ning took the medicine in Ethan's hand and handed it to Yan Song, Yan Song opened his eyes in embarrassment and saw that the sick and weak man in front of him looked good. There is a kind of morbid beauty, and a wide white robe hangs from the thin body.
"Forget it. You are clumsy, let Yan Lin come. After Xi Ning finished speaking, Yan Lin opened his eyes very well and put on a curious look.
Yan Lin skillfully applied the wound medicine, the force was gentle, and the liquid was applied very evenly, Ethan was curious about how this child learned, so he asked, "Yan Lin, how did you know this?" ”
Xi Ning turned his head away from it, so as not to see the man's body. She knew that the people here cared about this very much, and even Yan Song closed her eyes and waited for Yan Lin to say "Okay". I hadn't heard Yan Lin's voice for a long time, but I heard Ethan's question, and I was listening with curious ears.
"Brother Shadow taught me that day, and Brother Shadow's injury was also the medicine I smeared." Yan Lin said while carefully applying the medicine.
"Ei, how are you hurting?" Ethan asked out loud, and Xi Ning looked at the curtain and waited for an answer.
"It's already healed, it's all minor injuries."
"Not really! Several wounds are deep in the bones! Brother Shadow didn't rest that day, and went upstairs to guard, I know. Yan Lin's immature voice was distressed, making the shadow speechless, and he didn't know what to say, he felt that his injuries were all trivial, as long as the people he protected were fine.
Xi Ning opened the curtain and came to the driving seat to sit down, the shadow was even more embarrassed and didn't know how to swing the whip, and didn't dare to look at the people around him, all in front of him were Xi Ning sleeping on the bed with a red face.
"The wound is torn open!" Xi Ning asked in a faint voice.
"No... Well! The shadow's voice of wanting to quibble disappeared in Xi Ning's eyes.
"Give me the whip, and you go in and get the medicine." Xi Ning's words were full of commanding coldness, and the shadow didn't dare to refute it, so he obediently handed over the horsewhip and went into the car to take medicine.
Ethan didn't say anything, he was sad in his heart, it seemed that Xi Ning was angry with him, and he didn't know why he was angry, could it be because he was a flame body, or he was afraid that he would affect her, did she know about the flame body? Is she starting to dislike herself?
Xi Ning slapped the horse's buttocks hard, as if he was venting his anger. Maybe she's blaming Ethan for not being honest with her, or something, but it definitely has something to do with Ethan. For Ethan's cranky thoughts at this time, she won't know that she has never been in love, and she has not learned how to guess the psychology of her lover.
The good medicine on the shadow looked up at Ethan, and saw Ethan's pale face staring at Xi Ning's figure on the car curtain.
"Master, are you feeling unwell?" Shadow asked worriedly, "Your face is very bad!" ”
"Nothing!" Ethan's voice was weak, Xi Ning "snapped" and lifted the curtain to look over, the worry in his eyes was so obvious, staring at Ethan's face. The shadow went out and took the whip.
"Yi'er, where are you uncomfortable?" Xi Ning's heart hung in the air, and he asked in a low voice, his hand gently holding Ethan's arm, and his knees kneeling in front of Ethan's legs. Ethan saw Xi Ning's posture, how could the king of a country kneel on a man's side, and hurriedly pulled up Xi Ning and asked her to sit down, the pain in her heart was because she was nervous to the point of caution, she cared so much about herself, and she was doubting her love.
"Yi'er, you speak! Are you mad at me? Tell me okay? Xi Ning gently stroked Ethan's pale face, and his hands trembled slightly when he was extremely distressed.
Ethan clenched that warm hand, shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm fine!" It's just that when I see you driving, I feel sorry for you! ”
In Xi Ning's stunned expression, Ethan smiled, looking at Xi Ning's big eyes, he lightly scraped Xi Ning's nose. At that moment, Xi Ning felt that he had tasted the taste of his first love, the same love he longed for when he was a student, and the beloved man scratched his nose and called "fool".
"Really stupid? I'm fine, it's my own crankiness that scares me. Seeing that Xi Ning didn't speak, Ethan hurriedly explained honestly.
The Yan family sisters and brothers once again played the role of transparent people, reducing their sense of existence as much as possible. Wei Linyou, who was lying in the car, was cold, these two did not forget to show affection in such a situation, okay, very good, then I will be the first to take you Ethan. For this bitter ploy, he didn't eat for three days, and let those women beat him violently when he unloaded his internal strength. However, the women who beat him had already died tragically in the underworld.
Xi Ning picked up the quilt piled aside, covered Wei Linyou, who was trembling, and said to Ethan: "Yi'er, he's shaking, is it really okay?" ”
"What? My wife is starting to feel sorry for the beautiful man again? Ethan joked that Xi Ning definitely has an appreciation for beautiful men, but it's not hard to say if it's not love, and it's also true for those people in the family, whether they are in love or not, no one can guess, because Xi Ning in the past will definitely not, and the current Xi Ning will not be sure.
"Yi'er, what do you think of me? For the matter of pity and cherishing jade, how can a new type of woman not have this condition? Pity for the fragrance and cherish the jade is a virtue! Xi Ning pretended to be serious and said. She didn't know that because of her words, Yan Song's young heart planted the seed that she must pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, so that she later became a master of flower picking.
"Is that so?" Ethan glared at her with a smile and said, "He'll be fine, it's because you didn't cover him with a quilt." ”
Xi Ning was choked by Ethan's words again, really, I really didn't see that he had such a poisonous tongue at the beginning.
Wei Linyou rolled his eyes fiercely in a place that others couldn't see, and added a little more hatred to Ethan. This man can't stay, and he shouldn't stay.
Ethan shuddered at his spine, and his eyes looked at the man lying in the car, always feeling that this man's purpose was not pure. Xi Ning exterminated his Wei clan, how could he not take revenge?
"Ning'er, what to do with him?"
"Find him a gentleman in the next town, and leave some silver taels." Xi Ning's words are obvious, he will not take him back to Beijing. Ethan was also slightly comforted when he heard this.
Wei Linyou sneered in his heart, it was not so easy to leave me.
At sunset, no shelter could be found, and the shadow had to continue on his way while the night was bright. Xi Ning's back is sore, and it is really not easy to maintain a posture in a little position!
"Ouch, my old waist!" Xi Ning sighed with his hands on his waist.
"Ning'er, I'll rub it for you when I stop." Ethan said distressedly.
"Why are the three of you all okay?" Xi Ning saw that the Yan family's siblings and Ethan were not like her, and asked curiously.
"Maybe we're used to it." Ethan didn't know, thinking that maybe Xi Ning was used to riding horses, and he would not be comfortable riding in the carriage again. And the Yan family's sisters and brothers are all children, so how can they have any waist.
If Yan Song knew Ethan's thoughts, he would definitely give him a big white eye, who said that the child had no waist, she just endured it and didn't say it.
Wei Linyou slowly opened his eyes, he finally woke up after lying and falling asleep, with a delicate gasp, he sat up with difficulty, pretending to be surprised to see Xi Ning and Ethan, kneeling down to salute, but collapsed due to physical exhaustion.
Everything is so realistic! (To be continued)
