Chapter 13: Return to the Valley
Return to the Valley of the Medicine King, deep in the mountains, dark room.
Fu Shao felt very cordial inexplicably, although this body had been occupied by her, but there was still a deep memory of this place.
Fu Shaogen came back this time and was very well prepared, she did not spare two silver taels, ate enough food and water, clothes, bedding, daily medicines, wrapped into a few oilcloth bags, and dragged them all the way into the dark room from the dark passage with hemp rope.
At night, Fu Shao asked the dumb uncle to go out quietly to explore.
The dumb uncle came back and said that the valley was far away and empty, empty, and it was ghostly at night.
In this way, those men in black who turned back have nothing to gain and have left completely?
Fu Shao decided to wait until dawn.
Helanting was not awake yet, with a high fever, lying on one side and talking nonsense. Jing'er took care of it very carefully, and said to Fu Shaogen: "Gongzi He's health is still very good, and when the fever subsides, he will be fine." ”
Fu Shao nodded. I wondered what question I would ask him when He Lanting woke up.
First of all, I want to ask who those men in black are? Who is behind the scenes?
Who betrayed the Medicine King Valley? Who is the maid?
What's going on with that jade pendant engraved with "Bi"?
Who is Helanding?
In his thoughts, Fu Shao gradually fell asleep by relying on the fetal jade pool.
She has been too tired these days.
In the dream, she dreamed that in the most prosperous capital of Juntian, those young sons and daughters walked in front of her mansion on horseback, and some of them pointed to her word "Fufu" with a horsewhip, and said to her companions with ideals and pride on their young and energetic faces: "One day, I will walk in here and become a general under the command of Fu Xiang!" ”
At that time, she did not enter the cabinet, but the courtiers called "Fu Xiang".
In fact, she prefers everyone to call her "handsome".
Because she is the first generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses since the Juntian Dynasty, the achievements she has made with her own hands are enough for her to get all the glory and praise in this era.
So she actually had a faint premonition in her heart that rigidity is easy to break, and prosperity is bound to decline.
So when she saw the struggle and hesitation in the eyes of Emperor Jun Tian Bai Chengran, she remembered what her master had said to her.
The master said: The rapids retreat bravely.
So she drank the glass of wine in Linlin's hand, Linlin's hand was still trembling, and she also said to Linlin: "The wine glass should be held steady, if you are so timid, how will you do big things in the future?" ”
She made such a decision because she knew that Bai Chengran would inevitably regret it for the rest of her life and keep her house safe.
Live again, she thought, she is just an ordinary person, planting land, raising chickens and ducks, maybe she will find an honest man to marry, have a child, and protect the child to grow up safely.
Behind her was a warm piece of fetal jade, she felt that she was awake, but she really didn't want to wake up with her eyes closed, she thought hatefully in her heart: Lucky again, how can you still fuck fight and kill, it's not over.
It seems that I have slept for a long time, but when I wake up, it has only been two or three hours.
Jing'er also curled up beside her and fell asleep, and the dumb uncle guarded Helanting to close her eyes and recuperate. Fu Shaogen listened to He Lanting's breathing for a while, slowly and steadily.
The crisp chirping of birds suddenly sounded from a long distance, and the dumb uncle woke up, glanced at Fu Shaogen, and reached out to explore Helanting's forehead. The dumb uncle nodded, signaling that the young man's fate had been picked up.
Fu Shaogen stood up, stretched hard, picked up a bamboo tube of water from the ground, and poured it on Helanding's face.
Dumb Uncle: ......
Helan Ting coughed twice and opened his eyes. I was dazed for a long time before I focused my eyes on Fu Shaogen. Fu Shao didn't even look at him, leaving time for him to recall what had happened.
Jing'er also got up, pressed the mechanism and pushed open the mountain gate, and the sky outside the door was already bright. There is the chirping of birds, but there is an indescribable death breath, which can only be felt by those who have experienced life and death, as if the miasma in hell that can destroy everything spreads up from the cracks in the ground, making Fu Shao have goosebumps.
The three of them went out and saw that the valley was still the same as before, and in some places it was still the burned ruins of the time when they left, and there was occasional rain in the valley, and the rain washed away the charcoal, forming one pale inky pool after another.
"Something is wrong." Fu Shao said softer. As if she was afraid of disturbing others in this valley, she was very sure that there was no one else in this valley.
The men in black must have gone, they hadn't found anything, and there was nothing to burn again. But in this valley, it's just different.
Helan Ting also staggered out of the mountain gate with a wooden stick.
He couldn't seem to believe his eyes: "This...... Is this the Valley of the Medicine King? This is the Valley of the Medicine King?! ”
No one answered his question, not even anyone else gave him a second look.
He was shocked and suspicious, he couldn't figure it out, he was obviously poisoned, and he was fatally injured, how could he come back to life, and how he entered this long-thinking Medicine King Valley.
"Who the hell are you? What's going on here? ”
His question still went unanswered.
He looked at the grass and trees in the valley, looked at the burned ruins, looked at the plants and trees that told the scene of the massacre, wanted to cry, wanted to howl, and felt the pain of the wound tearing, so that he could not lift his breath, and almost fainted here.
"What's going on here? I'm afraid I'm going to ask you this question. Fu Shao said coldly: "Why did those people in black kill you, who are they?" Why did they kill the people here again, don't you know? ”
Fu Shaogen suddenly walked over, grabbed Helanting's hair, and shook a few big ear shaves in front and back.
"You are sober and sober, in front of the countless ghosts who have died unjustly here, tell us what happened, tell everything you know, and let these people understand when they die." Fu Shao said louder. She knew that if she could get all the words out at once, she would have to intimidate him when he was at his weakest.
Sure enough, Helanting seemed to see hundreds of ghosts standing in front of him waiting for an answer, and his whole body trembled with excitement. His face began to turn blue again.
After a while, Helan Ting said, "I just want to know who my mother is, she must be from this valley." I have an impression of this place, the grass and trees, the thatched huts, the flowers and trees, I seem to be familiar with them. I went to Hefu when I was five years old, and I think I lived here before I was five years old. I'm also from the Medicine King Valley. ”
Fu Shao sighed in his heart, and said in his heart, it is said that the people of the Medicine King Valley will not be able to leave the valley for the rest of their lives, how can there be an exception here? Could it be that your mother took you to elope with Lao Hewang?
"What about your mother? Do you still have an impression of your mother? Fu Shaogen asked.
He Lanting looked up at Fu Shaogeng, his expression was very strange. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "I don't remember, but I think you are very similar to her." So when I see you, I always feel as if I've seen you somewhere. It turns out that it's because you and my mother look like you imagined. ”
…… If it weren't for the similar age, even Fu Shaogen was thinking about it at this time, whether it was really possible that she had such a big son.
Helanting continued: "I just wanted to ask her why she didn't want me, why she abandoned me! He spoke in a slightly pitched voice, with a crying voice, he covered his face and trembled, as if he had endured it for countless years, but he still couldn't figure out the answer.
"In the He family, how many times have I almost died, I have been abused and insulted countless times, no one treats me as the young master of the He family, even the slave of the He family, only as a dog! Just because I came out of nowhere, just because I don't have a father or a mother! Helan Ting roared.
The valley was very quiet, and Helanting's voice was amplified and traveled far away. Fu Shao knew that this was very dangerous, in case there was a dangerous ambush not far away. When you hear such a big movement, you will definitely be moved. But at this time she didn't want to stop him.
She wanted this teenager to completely release the greatest pain in his heart, even if none of them could give him an answer, but at least, he would not be so paranoid in the future.
Jing'er suddenly thought of something, rushed into the dark room, and took out the painting she had shown to Fu Shaogen.
She showed the portrait to Helanding: "This is our valley master and wife, you said our young ...... Like your mother, is the mother you are talking about our wife? ”
"You are from the Medicine King Valley? There are still people alive in the Medicine King Valley?! He Lanting looked at several people in shock, with a mixture of sadness and joy on his face.
Fu Shao nodded very cooperatively and said, "You say that I am like your mother, but my mother is the only one." Are you mistaken. ”
Helanting was silent for a long time, so long that he thought he was asleep with his eyes open.
Helanting looked at the portrait over and over again, and suddenly said, "Although it is very similar, it doesn't seem to be it." I wish she was, and I remember her, but I knew in the dark that she wasn't. ”
The string of words is a bit tongue-twisting, and Fu Shao is a little confused.
Jing'er took over the topic and said an inference that she had been thinking about for a long time.
"Gongzi He, your father is the valley keeper of our Medicine King Valley, Abi. Abi got married as a young man, and the husband and wife were in love. But his wife died after giving birth to a son. So I'm afraid you were raised by Madame Bai until she was five years old. Later, for some reason, Abi gave you away. ”
