Chapter Twenty-Nine: Heartbeat
The oil lamp is burning quietly, the lamp is like a bean, scattered in the depths of the mountains and fields, the four fields are silent, and there is a family that is quite lively.
The hounds have long since been fed and have curled up in their dens and slept soundly, they have no worries, they fall to sleep, and wake up when they cry. But the masters were all preoccupied.
Today is a special day for Lingmu Village. As an ancient village that has been hidden for many years, Lingmu Village has inadvertently broken into outsiders today and discovered their existence, so more and more people will find this place in the future and are willing to communicate with them, and they can also communicate with the outside world and no longer isolate themselves from the world.
Si Qing was seriously injured, because he fell into the trap and was stabbed by the bamboo tip, according to Xiao Bang, they chased a little rabbit in the bush, and chased until this mountain forest, but the little rabbit disappeared, and they met a boar, they ran and fought with the boar, until finally the two fell into the trap with the boar, the boar was pierced through the belly by the bamboo tip, and Si Qing was also injured.
They waited for a long time but no one appeared, and it was not until it was getting late that a group of hunters came to look for them, and they were rescued.
"Miss, is there anything wrong with you? It's all to blame for the slave and maid's greed for playing, otherwise we should be lying at home now...... "Xiao Wan regretted her playfulness for a while, if it wasn't for her to catch the little rabbit, this would not have happened, Si Qing was injured, and everyone was worried and running around for them.
Mu Yu tidied up her slightly messy clothes and bun, stroked her back, and said comfortingly: "Xiao Wan, it's none of your business, if I hadn't asked everyone out, this wouldn't have happened, it's me who is not good, blame me, don't cry, okay?" ”
Xiao Wan hurriedly stopped his tears, and shook his head with teary eyes: "Miss, how can I blame you, it's my ......"
Mu Yu stretched out a finger to seal her lips, preventing her from saying any more.
"It's already like this, there's no point in talking about it, the important thing now is to heal Si Qing's injuries." As he spoke, he looked at the room next to him, which was hidden by the curtain.
Now they are temporarily living in the old woman's house, which has only one adult man, her son, and a daughter-in-law and grandson.
The villagers invited for them a mountain doctor in the village who knew a little about medical skills, an old uncle in his fifties, with a round and chubby figure, and a bit of a hermit master's temperament. Liao Yurong was accompanying Si Qing in the house, talking to her and not letting her fall asleep. And the old woman's daughter-in-law is still busy boiling medicine in the kitchen.
It was inconvenient for the villagers to stay here, so they all went back to their homes to sleep.
Feng Yu and Jin Nian were invited to their homes to rest by the enthusiastic villagers.
After waiting for a long time, the mountain doctor finally came out, and when he came out with blood stains on his hands, he went outside the house to fetch well water to wash his hands.
came back again, but was stopped by Mu Yu to inquire about the situation.
"That girl has injured her muscles and veins, I'm afraid she won't get better for a while, and she won't be able to walk for the time being." The mountain doctor shook his head with pity and said.
"Okay, I see, thank you."
The mountain doctor went in again.
Mu Yu saw Si Qing lying there crying through the open door curtain, and Yu Rong was comforting her.
Mu Yu bit his lower lip tightly.
After a while, the mountain doctor came out with Yurong.
"Girl, the old man has already applied herbs to her, plus taking decoction twice a day, both inside and outside, I believe that it will be effective soon, and after more than two months, the injured muscles and veins will grow again, and she will almost be able to go." The old doctor stroked his beard and said.
"But...... After the injury is healed, it is not advisable to do too vigorous movements. The mountain doctor said it as tactfully as possible.
"I'm sorry for you." Yurong replied.
The mountain doctor shook his head, gave another advice, and left.
Outside, the trees are hidden in the night, and the silence is deep.
......
The sky had just revealed the white of the fish's belly, the roosters had crowed one after another, and Mu Yu was still asleep.
"Miss, Miss, the king of the county is coming for you!"
Mu Yu was woken up and had to get up. She walked out of the house with her long black hair scattered and unneatly dressed.
Feng Yu outside the house was almost frightened when he saw her like this at first glance, but he had a different feeling when he saw her other appearance, so he stared involuntarily for a while.
Mu Yu was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, he barely opened a pair of eyes, yawned and asked the person in front of him: "King Jun, why did you get up so early?" What are you looking for me? This voice is also different from the crisp and slightly hoarse in the past, but has a slightly thick nasal voice, and the hoarseness is even worse, so it sounds like a glutinous feeling. After speaking, Mu Yu looked at him with squinted eyes.
Feng Yu was full of energy and looked very energetic, seeing her like this, he felt very cute and amiable, so he unconsciously brought some smiles and tenderness in his eyes: "You don't plan to go back today?" ”
"Go back, oh yes, go back......" she mumbled, goose egg face full of coquettishness, and yawned again.
Feng Yu paused for a long time, staring at her motionlessly.
The morning sun and the breeze gently brushed the hair on her forehead and cheeks, and her face was pink because of sleep, and the girl's coquettishness and beauty were all revealed in front of his eyes.
His heart moved slightly, like a drop of rain falling into the calm and waveless water, and the sound was like a pearl, rippling in a circle, melting into it.
"What's wrong?" Mu Yu was about to fall asleep, but he saw him staring at her without blinking, and he didn't know what he meant.
Feng Yu suddenly came back to his senses, and was surprised to realize that he had just looked at the girl in front of him, and he felt very embarrassed, so he hurriedly withdrew his gaze and sorted out his thoughts: "Oh, it's nothing, so when are you going to go back?" ”
"Eh, are you going to leave now?" Mu Yu sobered up a little.
"Yes, but I'd like to wait for you together."
"Oh, that's it, but Si Qing's leg is injured and he can't walk."
"We can go back first and find someone to pick her up."
"Well, that's right, then I'll prepare first......"
"I'm not in a hurry."
Mu Yu couldn't sleep anymore, there was nothing more important than going back, even Zhou Gong couldn't stop her.
She went back to the house and cleaned up.
The old woman's family had already prepared breakfast, Mu Yu and Xiao Wan filled their stomachs together, they were all some mountain goods, very fresh and delicious, Mu Yu ate more, the mother-in-law saw it, and hurriedly prepared a lot of mountain goods stored at home, so that Mu Yu took them back.
Mu Yu accepted it and thanked him.
Jin Nian had just woken up, and when he came here and saw that they were leaving, he hurriedly said, "Mu Yu, senior brother, why don't you take me with you when you leave?" ”
Feng Yu said: "You stay and take care of Miss Liao and their master and servant, Mu Yu and I will go back first, and let someone take you back after you go back." ”
Jin Nian scratched his head, "Oh, then hurry up, don't forget our ......"
Mu Yu: "No, I won't forget it!" ”
The old woman was leading the family to walk over with a cane and trembling, grabbed Mu Yu and said, "Girl, old woman, I guess you will never come back after you leave, alas, it's a pity that I have lived here for almost my whole life, and I want to say it...... It's also unlikely, not to mention more, I hope you find a good family to live happily for a lifetime! ”
"Mother-in-law, if you want to go out, we can help you, so when I come back, I will definitely take you out!"
"Really? Will you still come? Can I, can I get out? The mother-in-law's two dry but powerful palms tightly clutched Mu Yu's wrists.
"Yes...... Certain. ”
"Okay, then my son, grandson and daughter-in-law, and the people in the village......" The old woman looked behind her at her grandson and daughter-in-law, who were probing their brains.
"You can all go out, don't worry, we'll come back and take you out."
"That's good, that's good......" said, glancing at Feng Yu beside him, Feng Yu is the king of the county after all, since the king of the county has not denied it, then it is true.
Moreover, the old woman was not worried about whether she would be able to get out of the forest and go outside, but whether the villagers would be able to adapt to it after they went out.
As soon as there is the slightest movement here, every household will quickly know about it, and when the villagers heard that Mu Yu and Feng Yu were leaving, they all put down their chores at home to see them off.
