Chapter Ninety-Eight: Lost and Regained
One morning, the fiery red sun just jumped out of the horizon, rising from the east, the earth was also alive, the sun shone into the mouth of the cave, shining warmly, at this time Zhang Tianyi reached out and rubbed his groggy head, opened his eyes that had been chaotic for a long time, and found that the peach girl was lying in his arms at the moment, holding his body and falling asleep, so he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Zhang Tianyi was shocked for a long time, and only then did he realize that he could actually see it!
Unexpectedly, his move was seen by the careful Lin Xiaomiao.
"Husband, you're finally awake!" Lin Xiaomiao shouted in surprise and joy, her eyes flashing with joy.
"Hmm...... Where are we? Zhang Tianyi asked Lin Xiaomiao suspiciously.
"In the cave, that day, we were chased and killed and then the carriage accidentally fell off the cliff, we fell down with the people and the cart, fortunately we were caught by a tree branch when we fell, so we survived, this is a wild country, no one will find it for a while."
"The wilderness...... How did you survive? Zhang Tianyi couldn't help asking.
"In the past few days, husband, you have been unconscious, and we have temporarily taken refuge in this cave to avoid pursuit, although this cave is broken, although the forest is partial, there are also some wild fruits to be satisfied." Lin Xiaomiao swallowed her saliva and continued.
"Husband, how are you, do your heads still hurt?" Lin Xiaomiao reached out and touched Zhang Tianyi's bag, and most of it had been gone.
"I'm fine, but I've been groggy for the past few days, and I can't remember many dreams." Zhang Tianyi's eyes fell on Lin Xiaomiao's face as soon as he said that, as if he was deliberately looking at something.
This move was discovered by the careful Lin Xiaomiao, and asked, "What is the husband looking for?" ”
"Oh, nothing." Zhang Tianyi disguised.
"Can you see anything?" Lin Xiaomiao asked again in surprise.
"How come, I've been blind for a long time, how can I suddenly regain my sight? It's impossible, don't think about it. Zhang Tianyi persuaded.
Lin Xiaomiao muttered in her heart, obviously feeling that her husband's eyes were falling on her, if she was a blind person, how could she give people this feeling, not to mention that he felt weird after waking up today, as if he was very novel about everything, but he denied it.
If you can really regain your sight, wouldn't it be a good thing? Why hide it? Lin Xiaomiao was a little puzzled.
Just when Lin Xiaomiao was puzzled, Zhang Tianyi opened his mouth and said: "My body is inconvenient, today you go to the market to buy some herbs, I just feel that my body is not good, there are some valuable objects here that you can take to exchange for money, go back quickly." Zhang Tianyi said, took out a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Lin Xiaomiao.
"But I'm not at ease when you're here alone......," Lin Xiaomiao took the silver and muttered quietly.
"What is there to worry about as a big man, you are not coming back, besides, didn't you say that this cave is very hidden? I'm fine, but you, go to the market alone, I'm a little worried, in case they get caught, it will be bad. Zhang Tianyi persuaded.
"I'll be more careful, after dressing up, it won't be so easy to recognize." Lin Xiaomiao patted her chest and said.
"Well, you have to be careful, don't take risks, go ahead." Zhang Tianyi said that he pushed Lin Xiaomiao out.
"But ......"
"Don't do it, no problem, let's go." Zhang Tianyi pushed out and said.
Lin Xiaomiao was pushed out of the cave, disguised as a man and went to the market alone.
She inquired all the way, drove for two hours, and arrived at the market in the morning, tired and dry.
"Baked cakes, baked cakes...... Delicious yakiniku! ”
"Guest officer, come to one? The fragrant and soft pancakes are delicious! ”
Seeing Lin Xiaomiao stopping in front of the baked cake shop, the little second who sold baked cakes greeted him warmly.
Lin Xiaomiao glanced at the jade pendant that she didn't have a penny on her body, only the jade pendant given by her husband, and thought about it as if she was going to do business first, so she ignored Xiao Er and politely refused: "No." And he walked away.
After walking such a long way, Lin Xiaomiao was really hungry, but thinking that this was the money for her husband's treatment, she was ruthless and hurried away hungry.
Passing by a pawnshop, Lin Xiaomiao thought to herself, this jade pendant looks bright and jade, it should be able to be a good price, it must be her husband's personal belongings, it would be a pity if she took it as a pity, but if there is a chance in the future, she will definitely redeem it, Lin Xiaomiao made up her mind, held the jade pendant in her hand and walked in.
"Shopkeeper, how many silver taels do you think my jade pendant can be used for?" Lin Xiaomiao said and handed over the jade pendant in her hand.
The pawnshop owner took the jade pendant with both hands, looked at it carefully for a while and said, "This jade pendant in the child's hand is a good thing, about worth fifty taels of silver." ”
"Okay, exchange it for silver for me, and this jade pendant will be here first." Lin Xiaomiao said with a suppressed voice.
"Hey, okay, wait a minute, I'll go and give you the money."
After a while, the pawnshop shopkeeper handed fifty taels to Lin Xiaomiao's hand and said, "You take it, fifty taels." No more, no less. ’
"Hey, shopkeeper, do you know where the pharmacy is near here?" Lin Xiaomiao, who was new to the city and was unfamiliar with the place, just asked the shopkeeper to show the way, saving herself from scurrying around the market like a headless fly, and one more minute would be more dangerous.
"It turns out that Childe is going to take money to treat the disease!" The shopkeeper replied.
The pawnshop owner showed Lin Xiaomiao the way, and Lin Xiaomiao took the silver and got out of the pawnshop and went straight to the pharmacy.
Lin Xiaomiao grabbed some herbs to clear heat and detoxify and heal wounds in the pharmacy, and there was not much silver left in his hand. Lin Xiaomiao saw that there were steamed buns and matches outside, so she used the rest of the money to buy a few steamed buns to satisfy her hunger at night, and bought some matches to light the fire for heating.
Thinking of the blind Zhang Tianyi still waiting alone in the cave, if he delayed for a few more hours, he was afraid that it would be dark, and then he would be worried, thinking of this, Lin Xiaomiao didn't even drink much saliva, so he hurried back, for fear that something would go wrong, and finally rushed back to the cave before dark.
"Husband, I'm back!" Lin Xiaomiao shouted when she arrived at the entrance of the cave.
"Husband? Husband ......" Lin Xiaomiao went to the cave and saw that Zhang Tianyi was nowhere to be seen.
"Oh no, it shouldn't be that he is in some danger, this place is deserted, either dragged away by jackals, tigers and leopards, or captured by assassins." Lin Xiaomiao thought anxiously
But there was no trace of blood in this hole, not even traces of fighting, it shouldn't be a wild beast, Zhang Tianyi, a blind person, shouldn't have run out of the hole alone, could it be that he met an assassin?
The more Lin Xiaomiao thought about it, the more scared she became, the more worried she became, she burst into tears, she didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she began to look for Zhang Tianyi everywhere: "Husband? Tianyi, where are you ......?"
Lin Xiaomiao pulled her throat and searched all over the cave and outside the cave, and the nearby woods, but there was no shadow of Zhang Tianyi, and no one even answered.
Lin Xiaomiao, who was tired, squatted on the ground at this time and cried helplessly.
"He's not coming back!" Just then, a familiar voice came from behind him.
"The Fourth Prince? How did you end up here? Lin Xiaomiao heard someone talking, so she followed the voice and looked over, and saw Duanmu Henghu asking suspiciously.
"It doesn't matter why this king is here, this king is here to tell you that your husband, Zhang Tianyi, will not come back." Duanmu Heng said as he stepped forward to pick up Yun Tao, who was squatting on the ground.
Seeing that Lin Xiaomiao was okay and still standing in front of him alive, Duanmu Heng's hanging heart also fell to the ground.
"How do you know? Where did he go? Yun Tao pushed Duanmu Heng away and asked rhetorically.
"He's definitely not coming back, there's nothing to say about where to go, don't wait, girl." Duanmu Heng stepped forward and persuaded.
"I don't believe it, Zhang Tianyi can't see with his eyes, and he won't run around." Lin Xiaomiao said stubbornly.
Although she didn't know where Zhang Tianyi was now, Lin Xiaomiao firmly felt that he would not leave her. But Zhang Tianyi's identity really made her suspicious, and what he did after waking up today, Lin Xiaomiao couldn't figure it out.
"Since you are the prince, you must know a lot of things, so let me ask you, what is Zhang Tianyi's identity?" Lin Xiaomiao chased after Duanmu Heng and asked.
"He is a child picked up by the Zhang family!" Duanmu Heng smiled and said without thinking.
"Picked up? Where did you pick it up? Lin Xiaomiao still didn't give up and continued to ask.
"In the future, you will know that now is not the time, so I can't tell you." Duanmu Heng looked at Lin Xiaomiao meaningfully and said. A pair of narrow phoenix eyes seem to hook people's souls.
"You ......" Lin Xiaomiao took a few steps back, she was exhausted, and she didn't bother to argue with him anymore, so if he didn't say it, he wouldn't say it.
"Anyway, he won't come back, it's useless for you to wait here, let's go, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time."
Duanmu Heng persuaded.
"No, he'll be back." Lin Xiaomiao didn't listen to Duanmu Heng's dissuasion, and insisted on going back to the cave to wait.
"You insisted that I not have to wait any longer, do you know his whereabouts?" Lin Xiaomiao was skeptical.
"What do you know, what do you not know?" Duanmu Heng's ambiguous attitude is really infuriating, and he doesn't explain it halfway.
The wind-blown leaves in the woods rustle, "Woo~~~Woo~~~"
It was late at night, and there were bursts of wolf howls in my ears, after so many changes, Lin Xiaomiao, who was already nervous, was so frightened that her legs became weak, and she shivered when the cold wind blew, and she couldn't walk.
When Duanmu Heng saw her cute appearance, he smiled and picked her up.
"What are you doing, prince, you let me down!" Yun Tao kept fluttering his feet on his shoulders and roared loudly.
"Hold on! Take you out."
"Men and women don't kiss each other......," Lin Xiaomiao shouted.
"Don't struggle uselessly, do you want to stay here and feed the wolves?" Duanmu Heng frightened.
Lin Xiaomiao pushed a few times, and then she had no strength to struggle anymore, so she simply followed him.
Duanmu Heng carried her all the way to the carriage that came to pick them up, and drove the carriage out of the cliff with a few attendants.
