Chapter Twenty-Nine: Old Things

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Yun'er had already gotten up, and she wanted to take a walk in the courtyard, but was stopped by Yingge, "Huang Niangzi, the county lord has an accident." ”

"Yingge? What happened? Lin Yun'er said.

Yingge's eyes were slightly red, and her pink lips trembled slightly, "In the second half of yesterday night, the county lord had a high fever that did not go away, and the slave maid thought that it was a cold, and it would be good to ask a doctor this morning, so I didn't dare to disturb you, but I didn't want to ask a little monk who was guarding the door to go to the bottom of the mountain to invite a doctor to come, but I couldn't diagnose what kind of illness the county lord had." The doctor left, the slave and the county lord were not familiar with each other in Kyoto, so I really didn't know what to do. ”

After hearing this, Lin Yun'er hurriedly pulled out her legs and walked in the direction of Ouyang Lan's meditation room, the only person she could think of with excellent medical skills was Linghui, but now Linghui was collecting medicine in the mountains, and there was nowhere to find it, "Isn't there any one of those people brought by the county lord who understands medicine?" ”

"Nope." Yingge said, "Most of the ones brought by the county lord are accompanying guards, the county lord loves to play, plus he avoids illness and avoids doctors, and does not like to take medicine, so he has never brought a doctor by his side." ”

Walking into the meditation room, the furnishings in the room are very elegant, this should have been Shen Yu's room, and it looked like it had been cleaned up, there was a basin of water next to the couch, a towel in the water was lying in it, there was a big bulge on the couch, and the light-colored futon was lying Ouyang Lan who was trembling all over, her round face was exposed, her face was pale, and she was still in a cold sweat, Lin Wan'er reached out and touched her forehead, it was very hot, but Ouyang Lan still murmured cold in her mouth. What kind of strange disease is this?

"Has the county lord ever had this disease before?" Lin Wan'er asked. These words were obviously asked to Yingge.

Yingge said, "The county lord has been strong since he was a child, he has never been sick, he has never had a high fever, and he didn't know what happened last night. ”

Ziwei behind Lin Yun'er was also very helpless when she saw it, and hurriedly pulled Jade's sleeve and said, "What can I do about this?" ”

Yingge whispered, "I heard that there are some good doctors in today's imperial hospital, and they are very fond of our county lord today, so they shouldn't give it away." ”

"According to today's favor for the county lord, it is true that the imperial doctor will be sent to treat the county lord, but in this situation, the county lord is afraid that he can't wait." Lin Yun'er held Ouyang Lan's hands tightly and said.

"Lady, the slave maid heard that the prince of Pingxi has a thousand-mile horse." Jade said, "That was the gift given to him the year before today. If you can borrow it from him, and go back and forth in less than half a day, the county lord's condition should also improve. ”

Lin Yun'er bowed her head and asked Xiang Yingge again, "Does the King of Zhongshan have a friendship with the Prince of Pingxi?" Can it be deep? ”

Yingge nodded and shook her head, "As an official in the same dynasty, the depth of the relationship is there." Yingge said vaguely, but Lin Yun'er understood that if the relationship is shallow, it is easy to say, if the relationship is deep, and the merit is high, it will inevitably be suspicious today. I am afraid that the disaster of killing is inevitable.

"Since there is a relationship in it, it is not difficult to ask the prince to borrow a horse." Ziwei Road.

"This matter still needs to be considered." Lin Yun'er said, "Ziwei, you let Xiao Wu Xiaoliu go to Beijing quickly, be sure to find a good doctor, Mother Cui, you and Yingge go to Jifu Temple together, be sure to ask the prince to help find a doctor, if the prince is not available, ask him to borrow a horse." ”

When everyone got the order, they immediately said goodbye to Lin Yun'er and went out of the courtyard.

Only Lin Yun'er and Ouyang Lan were left in the whole room, and Ouyang Lan was in a cold sweat all the time, and her forehead was hot. In the past few days, she has eaten and lived with Ouyang Lan, if she is not accustomed to the water and soil, Ouyang Lan has been in Kyoto for more than two months, and she should have been well adjusted, what made the county lord sick? Is it man-made or natural?

She got up, twisted the towel in the basin of water next to the couch, and gently wiped her body and forehead, she could feel her discomfort, but she really couldn't help it.

For a whole hour, she had already exchanged ten basins of water back and forth, but Ouyang Lan had never seen any better.

Ziwei came back just now, and saw that she was fetching water by the spring, so she hurriedly came up and took it, "Lady, let's come as a slave." ”

Lin Yun'er saw that it was Ziwei, so she handed her the pot, "Good life takes care of the county lord, and there must be no mistakes." She hasn't had breakfast yet, so I'll make her some. ”

"Lady." Ziwei wanted to say that cooking was a matter for her subordinates, and she would just go, but Lin Yun'er instructed her to take care of Ouyang Lan, which made her a little embarrassed.

Lin Yun'er smiled and gave her a firm look, "It's okay, let's go." ”

She was wearing a light blue and light yellow breast-length skirt today, and she gently pulled the cuffs to the crook of her arms, revealing a jasper arm like a lotus root, which made people think a little. She went to the backyard and found the kitchen to find the ingredients, and to her surprise, this was completely the kitchen of a beautiful people's Zen courtyard, except for rice grain, there were no more ingredients. Okay, let's cook porridge.

Lin Yun'er called the injured Long Wu over to help chop wood and make the fire, but she went to the spring to wash rice, and when she came back from washing rice, Long Wu had already lit the fire in the furnace and sat aside to observe the fire.

She put the rice into a pot full of water, put a few grains of sea salt in it, covered the lid, and sat down less than three feet beside Long Wu without hesitation.

Long Wu jumped up in fright, and the wound on his foot actually made him snort. After that, he turned around, his face was really surprised, the daughter of a big family would never regard the etiquette as nothing, at this time he was a little angry, and then he hugged his fists and said, "Lady, if there is nothing to do, so-and-so will retire." ”

Lin Yun'er smiled lightly, and while arranging her cuffs, she pointed to the stone platform in front of her and said, "You can sit too, the stone platform is indeed very comfortable." Somehow, her smile seemed to be the wind in March, with the gentle feeling of catkins in the sky, as if it could soothe people's impetuous mood in an instant.

Long Wu was a little embarrassed, and his lowered eyes stared at the ground, "Lady." ”

She continued to say softly, "You're hurt, so sit down and talk." ”

"The slave has rough skin and thick meat, it's better to stand, if the lady has anything to say, just explain." Dragon Martial Arts.

Seeing the resistance in his eyes, Lin Yun'er never asked for it anymore, paused, and said, "I know that you don't want to affect my father or the Huang family, but have you ever known that as long as you step into the door of the Huang family, you will live and die with the Huang family, and share honor and disgrace!" ”

Long Wu's eyes were shocked, but he was still silent, he kept his head down, looking at the uneven soil balls on the ground, and his heart was actually endlessly worried. Suddenly, he glanced up at Lin Yun'er and lowered his head again.

Lin Yun'er was helpless, sighed slightly, and said, "Eighteen years ago, Jiangnan Province, Yangzhou Longwei Dart Bureau. ”

Before the words fell, Long Wu's expression was a little uncalm, he looked at Lin Yun'er in surprise, but saw that those clear eyes were facing him, and he couldn't read anything from them at all, how could a little woman who had been in the boudoir all year round know about him?

Lin Yun'er already knew what he was thinking, and continued, "I just sent someone to inquire at random. ”

It has been in the dust for eighteen years, and now that the people who know about it have either died or left the country, how can anyone know? Thinking of this, Long Wu was a little more defensive in his heart.

"I just want to know, the abbot has nothing to do with Yangzhou, why did you go to the abbot's room?" Lin Yun'er planned to avoid the important and trivial, "I just want you to understand that our Huang family will not wronged a good person, but we will not shield anyone who is out of discipline." ”

Long Wu was also silent.

"When I rescued you, Aye, I thought it was unfair to you to waste your life at such a young age, and secondly, he wanted you to have the opportunity to find out the truth for yourself. Now that the truth has not been ascertained, but you are in prison, are you worthy of the fifty-three people who were unjustly killed in the Longwei Dart Bureau? Lin Wan'er asked sonorously.

Fifty-three people who died unjustly! In just a few words, it was as if a sharp sword was poking him in the heart, and it was all his fault. He couldn't straighten up anymore, his head was buried lower, his fists clenched in both hands were tighter, and the man didn't flick his tears when he was in tears, but he didn't get to the sad place. After a long time, he straightened up, his gaze softened, and the scar that surrounded his beard now seemed to be gentle.

After a long time, he said, "How can a compatriot have nothing to do with it? ”

The abbot of Jifu Temple, Yun Yan, is a high-ranking monk, and he was a martial artist when he was young, this fact is known to everyone, is it possible that there is another hidden secret? Huang Yu's letter to her last night only mentioned that the Longwei Dart Bureau was washed in blood overnight, and there were only three people left in the entire Longwei Dart Bureau of 56 people, one of whom was Long Wu who was stimulated to wander the streets, and the other two were Long Wu's wife and newborn son, who are now missing.

But looking at Long Wu's appearance at that time, he didn't seem to be keen on looking for his wife and children, as if he was stimulated by something. This made Lin Yuner feel that there must be something hidden during this period. As for Long Wu's wife, Huang Yu's letter did not mention it at all, as if it had evaporated from the world. Lin Yun'er knew that Huang Yu had also tried his best to check this information, and if he couldn't find out, then the secret of this matter could only be dug out from the mouth of Long Wu, the person concerned.

"What do you mean? Your wife ......"

"It's not!" Before Lin Yun'er could finish asking, Long Wu cut off her questioning. "She doesn't deserve it!"

Women in this era are generally married to their husbands, but this woman seems to be very different, like the unruly children of the rivers and lakes in the script. In the eyes of the world, the so-called children of the rivers and lakes are a group of outliers, and the world prides themselves on being noble, so they are regarded as humble and lowly.

Lin Yun'er bowed her head, waiting for his next words.

All this has to start eighteen years ago, at that time, Long Wu is the young owner of the Long Wei Dart Bureau, the ancestors are the guardians of large families, and some kung fu has been handed down, Long Wu's father Long Wei single-handedly founded this dart game, because he is not literate, he had to use his own name as the name of the dart game. The name of the dart board was established less than half a year ago and resounded throughout Jiangnan Province, at that time, many dignitaries and nobles whether they were escorting darts or meat darts, Longwei Dart Bureau would always be their first choice.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, Long Wei was seriously injured due to a dart, and there was an extremely important dart in his hand to be transported from Hebei Province to Kyoto, and the eighteen-year-old Long Wu fought the dart flag for his father and became the head of the dart.

That year was the beginning of winter, the snow was flying in the sky, there was no one within ten zhang, Long Wu took the dart team from Jiangnan Road to Hebei Road, and then from Hebei Road to Shangjing.

Received the dart from Hebei Road, the wind and snow gradually decreased, it was already deep winter, on this day, the sky was snowing, a glance was wrapped in silver, not far away slowly came to a person, that a touch of bright red figure in the snow full of silver looked particularly bright and moving, she walked step by step with difficulty, and then looked at it, but saw that she was pulling a wooden plank behind her, and a man in black was lying on the board.

The woman walked in front of the dart team, knelt on the ground and begged, saying that she met a gangster on the road, and her brother was accidentally injured by a gangster, and her family lived in Kyoto, and she planned to hire a dart to go to Beijing.

Long Wu saw that the two brothers and sisters were lonely, and his dart team happened to be in Beijing, so he agreed to let the two brothers and sisters accompany him.
