Chapter 35: Distress on the River
"Ah Yan, wake up. We're here. When Mo Yan was sleeping soundly, Liu Xie woke her up, she rubbed her eyes, stretched her body, and Liu Xie helped Mo Yan get out of the carriage.
"Did you sleep well?"
"It's good, Uncle and we are ...... now"
"This is the border between Xudu and Wancheng, it is quiet here, and few people come. The riverbank is slippery, you have to be careful. Liu Xie didn't wait for her to answer, he stretched out his hand and led her to the front.
"Oh." Mo Yan didn't know why Liu Xie brought her here, the atmosphere between the two was a little ambiguous, and her heart was beating fast, thinking that it was better not to talk nonsense, lest the more she talked, the more wrong it became, but Liu Xie's palms were not as warm as usual, she was very concerned, but seeing his calm face, I had heard people say before that the body temperature of a pregnant person would be slightly higher than that of ordinary people, and she probably felt that Liu Xie's palms were cold.
The closer she got to the river, the stronger the wind blew through her ears, she thought that the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the riverbank must be difficult to walk, but she didn't expect that there were open fires on the bank, and she saw a small boat in front of her.
"Bohe, this is what you prepared?"
"Well, do you like it?"
"I like it!" Mo Yan let go of her hand and ran to the side of the boat like a happy little elk, the hull is not large, it can accommodate two or three people, there are straw mats on both sides, which does not affect the people on the boat to enjoy the scenery, and there are lanterns for lighting, this small boat is very elegant, she picked the best position to sit down, and beckoned Liu Xie to get on the boat quickly.
Liu Xie suddenly felt helpless, she was a person who was about to become a mother, and she didn't have a stable appearance. He felt unwell when he woke up in the morning, and he was proficient in medical skills, so he naturally knew that it was infected with wind and cold, but he had made an appointment with her before to take her out of the palace to play, so he had endured all the way until now. I don't know if it's Mo Yan's smile or other factors, his discomfort has instantly decreased a lot, I hope he can take her back to the palace safe and sound.
After Liu Xie got on the boat, he was in charge of pole rowing, Mo Yan felt strange and tilted his head to look at him. "Bohe, do you still know how to row?"
"Ah Yan thinks it's strange? Once we're in the center, let's enjoy this rare view. ”
"Well, I didn't think Bohe could heal, play the piano, or even row a boat." Mo Yan's eyes were full of admiration, he would know so much, but he was said by the world and future generations to be a puppet emperor with no ability.
"It's not these things that I want to learn, it's what I learned when I was helpless, what is the use of a son of heaven knowing this?" Liu Xie turned his head, not wanting her to see his expression.
Mo Yan knocked on his forehead, he was really stupid, he had nothing to say about this, Bohe prepared these for her happiness, but she blocked him. "Not true. As long as you learn a skill, it is not a skill to harm others, it is a lifetime of use, which has nothing to do with identity. Anyway, I admire Bohe very much, if I can learn what ordinary people can't, you see that I can't heal, and I can't play the piano...... Speaking of playing the piano, last time you taught me "Mountains and Flowing Water", I can already play some of it, so when Bohe is free, can you guide me again? Don't talk about this in the future, I don't like to hear it, and my ancestors don't like to hear it. Don't forget that we honored our ancestors during the day. ”
In order to prove that what she said was sincere, when she said the last sentence, she stood up, stepped forward and walked to Liu Xie's side and said it, Mo Yan forgot that this was a small boat, she and Liu Xie were standing in the same position, and the boat was naturally cocked and unstable. By the time she found out, she had almost fallen overboard because she hadn't been able to stand still.
Liu Xie took her hand and hugged her waist, he lay down in the boat, Mo Yan fell on top of him, when she wanted to get up, Liu Xie hugged her waist tightly, Mo Yan couldn't move, she could only lean on his chest. "Bohe?"
"Don't mess around, if you keep messing around, my child won't be saved. It's nice to lie on the boat like this. ”
"Where am I messing around, it's not because I want to ......" Mo Yan heard his heartbeat, she was very nervous about the intimacy between such a couple, even though she knew that Liu Xie would not mess around.
"Shhhh When you listen to the sound of the wind and the sound of the water, it will bring peace to everyone's heart. ”
Mo Yan heard Liu Xie say this, and stopped talking, seriously feeling this rare ancient wild scenery, the cool autumn wind, the flowing water, and the chirping of insects and birds, which can indeed calm his heart.
After a while, Mo Yan said softly: "I don't want to go home anymore, there is no such quiet nature there, and there is ......" "Boom", an arrow with fire passed through the hull, and then three or four arrows came, and the fire quickly spread to the hull.
"Ah Yan! We climbed out and had to swim to shore quickly. Liu Xie protected Mo Yan and climbed carefully towards the bow of the boat, he led Mo Yan into the water, but Mo Yan did not move, "Ah Yan! Come down! I'll pick you up! ”
"I can't swim." The fire on the boat became more and more intense, Mo Yan did not dare to enter the water in the face of the deep river, she couldn't swim since she was a child, a typical landlubber. She wasn't afraid to be near the water, and she wasn't afraid to take a boat, but it was difficult to get her into the water at this moment. Liu Xie stretched out his arms in the water, "Ah Yan, believe me." ”
Looking at Liu Xie's face, Mo Yan decided to go into the water, and just when he wanted to move, the bow of the boat made a cracking sound and split into two. The broken wooden plank couldn't support Mo Yan's body, and with a "Ah", Mo Yan sank into the river.
A person who does not know how to swim knows nothing about the underwater world, especially a river that is deeper than a creek. She didn't know what to do, she just fluttered wildly, choked on the water several times, and her consciousness gradually blurred. Liu Xie took a deep breath, sank into the water, and swam to Mo Yan's side, she was unconscious at this time, Liu Xie grabbed her hand and swam to the river with her in his arms.
"Ah Yan!" Mo Yan didn't reply, Liu Xie was very nervous, because he didn't know who the person who released the arrow was, he didn't dare to delay on the water, so he had to take Mo Yan ashore first.
He helped Mo Yan and then let him lie flat on the shore. He first untied her neckline to loosen so that she could breathe, her snort was still very even, and his hanging heart was also put down, first patting her face, trying to wake her up: "Ah Yan, wake up." ”
At this time, the sky was spinning in front of his eyes, and the palms of his hands were pressed against his forehead, which was very hot. "Bear with me, I can't do anything now." "Ahem...... cough cough ......" Mo Yan woke up and spit out the water in her choked mouth, Liu Xie patted her back, "Just cough it out, let's get in the car, look at the direction of the arrow should be from the other side, I don't know who it is, if you take the waterway, you and I will not be able to escape." ”
"Bo He...... Ahem, I'm fine, let's go. When Mo Yan just wanted to stand up, her right foot was cramping, and she couldn't even walk in pain.
"I've carried you." Liu Xie couldn't wait for her reply, so he carried her directly and walked to the carriage.
"I ...... It's useless. Mo Yan felt that he was very angry, and he actually had cramps in this situation.
"Don't talk nonsense, you are pregnant, you will definitely cramp more easily than ordinary people, and you just reprimanded me, how can you say that you are useless?" Liu Xie's every step was quite difficult, and he finally fainted beside the carriage due to his weak body.
"Bohe! Bohe! Liu Xie! Mo Yan knelt beside Liu Xie, she touched Liu Xie's forehead, retracted her hand in frightening by the scorching body temperature, and then trembled and touched her cheek, the same scorching heat. Mo Yan remembered that when he went to the market, Liu Xie was already wrong, and now it seems that he has really been holding on until now, maybe he was nervous and scared, or maybe because he was moved, her eyes moistened instantly, in order to make her happy, Liu Xie had to take her out of the palace to play even if she was sick, but ...... Liu Xie is worth it for her Mo Yan?
She tried her best to pull Liu Xie up, but it was useless, Liu Xie was a man, his weight was not light, plus his soaked clothes, these weights were not something she could afford as a woman. When she was helpless, there were footsteps behind her, and her heart was beating faster, and it would be the one who released the arrows...... She secretly picked up the big rock at hand and prepared to attack the other party.
The stone hit the ground with a sound, but was dodged by the comer. When Mo Yan just wanted to take the second stone, he heard a familiar voice that had not been seen for a long time, "Ah Yan? How are you here. ”
The person in front of him was smiling brightly as usual, because he couldn't hide his joy when he saw the person he missed. Mo Yan didn't expect that the other party was Qin Lang, but this was not the time to catch up, so he had to send Bohe back to the palace quickly. "Yuan Ming, I know you must want to ask me a lot of things, but it's too late to say now, do you have any heat-clearing and detoxifying pills on your body? Can relieve fever. I beg you to send us to the palace, please be sure to help us. ”
"Okay." Qin Lang took off his coat and handed it to Mo Yan. "Your clothes are soaked, if you don't mind, put them on first, I carry the medicine with me, you get into the carriage first, I'll go get the pills for this son, don't worry too much."
Mo Yan hugged Liu Xie in the carriage, he was still burning, and he muttered in his mouth: "Cold, cold...... She hugged Liu Xie tightly, "It's not cold, it's not cold when you get to the palace." You have to hold on, if something happens to you, how do you let me face Yu Niang, how do you face the ancestors of the Liu family? She grabbed the clothes on her abdomen, "Child, you fight for some air." ”
The carriage was speeding all the way, Mo Yan couldn't wait to fly directly to the palace, every minute and every second was a torment for Liu Xie, and it was also her worry, if she didn't leave the palace, there must be no such thing, blame herself. Her tears poured down, and a few drops fell on Liu Xie's face, but he didn't know that Mo Yan was so nervous about him.
