Chapter 131
Following the wheel prints of the donkey cart, near dawn, An Ruiqi led the carriage to a small village. At this time, the villagers were still immersed in sleep, the snoring was faintly audible, and the chickens and dogs in the yard were awakened by the sound of horses' hooves, barking a few times, and then, everything fell silent again. The village was pitch black, which made the small oil lamp hanging on the donkey cart look particularly bright.
After An Ruiqi helped Ning Yue off the horse, he held her wrist tightly and didn't let her leave, just stood silent.
After everyone disappeared in front of them, Ning Yue plucked up his courage and asked softly, "Brother Qi, can you forgive me?" ”
An Ruiqi lowered his head close to her ear and asked helplessly, "Yue'er, do you know I'm angry?" ”
"Brother Qi, I'm sorry......" An Ruiqi's hot breath scattered on Ning Yue's cheeks, making her heart throb, the words she had prepared before had already flown out of the clouds, and now she only knew how to apologize.
An Ruiqi heard that her breathing became a little short, and he felt pity, and said in a low voice: "You expected me to be ruthless to you, so you bullied me like this, didn't you?" After speaking, he kissed Ning Yue heavily on the forehead.
"I didn't think so...... I just ......" Ning Yue hurriedly raised her head to argue, but when she saw a faint smile in An Ruiqi's eyes, she suddenly lost her mind.
An Ruiqi pulled Ning Yue into his arms, gently stroked her green silk, and whispered, "Yue'er, do you know that I care about you more than myself?" Do you know how frightened and frightened I was when I thought my father was going to arrest you back to Beijing? I'd rather have my father condemn me than be tortured. ”
"But how could I want to see you punished......" Ning Yue buried her head in his chest and replied in a soft voice.
"I know that Yue'er has me in her heart...... Promise me not to break my heart like this again, okay? Feeling the person in his arms nodding silently, An Ruiqi put his chin on her head, closed his eyes, and smiled knowingly.
The two walked into the farmhouse holding hands, and saw that everyone was sitting around Han Fei's bed silently, and immediately stepped forward to take a look.
"Sister Yue'er, brother-in-law, he's awake." smiled and suppressed his excitement, and whispered to Ning Yue.
"Great." Thinking of Grandpa Yan and Han Yue, who had been waiting for a long time in the distance, Ning Yue couldn't help but cry with joy.
"Thanks to Brother Ning." A smile glanced at Ning Feng gratefully, and two red clouds appeared on his face.
"It's just a thousand-year-old ginseng, and we have a lot of Qingfeng cottages." Dou Hu, who was standing in the corner, turned purple with anger when he saw this, and muttered.
Xiaoyan turned a deaf ear to Dou Hu's words, took out a handkerchief and dipped it in water to wipe the blood off Han Fei's face.
"Since his life is saved, the old man will go to rest first, and he will continue to travel tomorrow." Shen Yidao yawned, and then forced Douhu straight out of the door.
"Brother Ning has been running around all night, he must be tired, go and rest." With a smile, he glanced at Douhu, who was not leaving the door, and said with a smile to Ning Feng.
"Ning is better to be respectful." Thinking of the dangers and obstacles on the road in the future, Ning Feng no longer pushed back, quickly put away the dagger, neatly put the cut ginseng slices into the brocade box, handed them to Xiaoyan with both hands, and then said goodbye and left.
"Yue'er, my father is waiting for me to go back in the camp, I don't want to stay here for a long time, seeing that General Han is safe and sound, I can leave with confidence." An Ruiqi caressed Ning Yue's face with his fingertips, and his eyes were full of reluctance.
"When does Brother Qi plan to take me back to Beijing for trial?" Ning Yue asked softly. Her hand holding the corner of An Ruiqi's clothes trembled slightly, revealing the panic in her heart.
An Ruiqi's heart tightened, stretched out his hands to hold her face, and said gently: "Yue'er, don't be afraid, you can wait here with peace of mind, and it will not be too late for you to reappear when I capture the real murderer." ”
The sky is getting white, and the morning light is beginning to appear. Han Fei was woken up by the loud rooster crow, and he frowned and coughed a few times. Ning Yue hurriedly handed over the water and asked him to take a piece of ginseng.
"Miss Ning, I heard Xiaoyan say, it was you who saved Han Mou's life, and he and Han Mou will definitely tie the grass ring to repay the girl's great kindness." Han Fei said with difficulty in a hoarse voice.
"Brother Han is serious, Ning Yue doesn't dare to take credit for saving people. What's more, Brother Han is kind to me, and I should repay him, and Brother Han doesn't need to take it to heart. Ning Yue patted Han Fei on the back and replied softly.
Miss Ning didn't know the reason, so she thought she owed something to Han. That's it, Miss Ning will be of use to Han in the future, and Han will be able to repay her kindness at that time. After saying that, Han Fei pinched the smiling cheek and woke her up.
Xiaoyan slapped the big hand on his face hard, rubbed his eyes, and said vaguely: "Brother-in-law, you are awake." ”
"Smiling, take out a handkerchief left by your sister and give it to Miss Ning." Han Fei commanded weakly, and seeing Xiaoyan looking at him with wide eyes and doubts, he opened his mouth again and urged, "Go." ”
"Sister Yue'er, for you, I picked it all over and over to find this one that is relatively intact." Smile smiled shyly at Ning Yue.
Thinking about the death of Sister-in-law Han for some time, Sister Xiaoyan probably often takes these handkerchiefs out to miss her sister, so the handkerchief is so rough. Ning Yue thanked him, gently folded the handkerchief, and put it in his arms.
"Miss Ning, when you understand the deep meaning of this handkerchief, if you want to find a place to live, you can go down to Shuanglu Mountain, and we plan to live there for a long time in the future." Han Fei looked at Ning Yue and said meaningfully.
When she heard this, she happily continued: "Sister Yue'er, my sister's grave is there, if you come, I will take you to meet my sister." ”
"Well, when the dust settles, I'll go and see you." Ning Yue touched her smiling cheeks and burst into tears.
Before parting, Ning Feng asked Ning Yue to snuggle on his shoulder, and comforted him gently: "Xiaoyue, I will return to Beijing as soon as possible, no matter what happens, you don't have to panic, remember that there is my eldest brother." ”
"Everyone, dear to you." Ning Yue wiped away her tears and waved goodbye to everyone.
Watching the carriage go farther and farther, Ning Yue burst into tears. I don't know when I will be able to reunite with them, or maybe I won't be able to see them again......
Seeing that Ning Yue was standing in place for a long time, letting the wind and snow blow, but he didn't want to go back, the leader of the shadow guard hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "My subordinates are ordered by the master to escort the girl back to Beijing in a few days, and I also ask the girl to take care of her body." ”
"Yes, it's time to go back...... Ning Yue looked at the snowfall in distraction and sighed.
