Chapter 217: Settling the Qi Clan
Hu Xiang led a group of people to ride horses and galloped, and the firecrackers and Qi Xiaoyun and the four of them hugged each other in the carriage.
The bumpy internal organs are about to vomit out.
The remaining officers and soldiers watched as the bandits fled without a trace.
"Boss, what should I do? I lost a prisoner just one day out of the city, should we turn back? ”
A wounded soldier came up with his arm clutched.
"Folded your head! Let's keep going! When we arrived at Suihe, they said that we were robbed by mountain bandits on our way,
Several officers and prisoners were killed by the bandits in a panic. ”
"This...."
"What this, this! Those who were robbed won't live long when they arrived at Suihe! The top is that he knows that he will not say anything if he dies on the way,
But if you know that the prisoner has been robbed, you will be held accountable! You and I have no good fruit to eat! ”
The leaders of the officers and soldiers planned to conceal the robbery of the prisoners, and sealed the mouths of all the officers and soldiers, after all, they had escorted the exiled prisoners for many years.
What winds and waves haven't you seen? There are not a few people who died in vain during the exile, and the big guys have long been surprised.
The firecrackers and the group hurried slowly, and finally rushed back to the lush mountains before the dark.
"Madame, what are your plans for the future?"
Firecrackers are helping her spread the futon.
"This wooden house in the mountains is simple, and the lady will take a look."
"I'll do it myself...."
Qi Xiaoyun stood up and wanted to stretch out his hand.
"Also, don't call me Mrs. anymore, I'm no longer the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"And what should I call Madame?"
"It's called Sister Yun."
"Sister Yun?"
Firecracker smiled, this name is awkward, she really can't change her mouth for a while.
"Naf... What are Sister Yun's plans for the future? ”
"What else can I do? If you don't get caught, you will burn incense and worship the Buddha,
Shen Yuan saved my life, and I had to help him take care of Teng'er.
I'm afraid this kid won't ..... me."
The little master is not unaware of the grievances between her and Shen Yuan, but he is afraid that he has already had a dislike for her in his heart.
"Madame relax, the little young master has grown up, and he clearly knows that the third lady is fierce and auspicious today.
But he only hid on the side and cried secretly, without asking me, he also knew that it was not easy to escape,
Everyone has done their part. ”
"Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Hengfu was turned upside down.
He ..... sir."
The thought that the prime minister must have suffered a lot in prison made her heart tingle.
Firecrackers wanted to say a few words of comfort, but it happened to happen that Ruyu pushed the door in.
"Madame.... Rest early. ”
Ruyu walked in with a basin of water.
"It's really thanks to you two that you saved my life today,
If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd be going to see Lord Yama in a few days. ”
Qi Xiaoyun held the hands of the two maids respectively.
"This time I have to rely on firecrackers, I thought of coming to the lush mountains to find the Hu brothers to save Mrs.,
I'm just jumping to my feet. ”
Ruyu lowered her head embarrassedly.
"You are all my nobles, my benefactors!"
Qi Xiaoyun was about to kneel on the ground as she spoke, and the frightened firecrackers hurriedly grabbed her arm and said:
"Don't, we can't afford Sister Yun like this,
We rescued you out of affection, not for you to kneel. ”
"Sister Yun?"
Ruyu couldn't help frowning when she heard the firecrackers call Qi Xiaoyun as Sister Yun.
"I told her to change her mind, and you won't call me Mrs. again."
"This ....."
Ruyu seems to be a little embarrassed, but thinking that it is always the wife who is long and the lady is short,
It was also easy to arouse her sadness, so she also nodded.
After extinguishing the candles, the three of them huddled together on a large bed and talked until dawn before falling asleep.
Hu Oak minded that Qi Xiaoyun would stay on the mountain, but Firecrackers knew that she would definitely refuse.
There are five big and three thick men on this lush mountain, and it is really not convenient to live.
So he refused on the pretext of preventing officers and soldiers from discovering the identity of the mountain bandits and sending people to search the mountains.
Hu Oak has always had a tendon, how can he resist a clever mouth of firecrackers, and she was persuaded in a few words.
There is a mountain fifty miles away from the lush mountain, and there is a small village in the mountain called Qingsleeve Village, and the location is very hidden.
There is a brother in their Hu family who lives there and can help pick up Qi Xiaoyun and the little young master.
As soon as the firecrackers heard that it was feasible, they asked the Hu brothers to take them to Qingsleeve Village, but the group got lost when they arrived near Qingsleeve Village.
I couldn't find the entrance, and I even met a poisonous snake in the valley.
In a panic, Qi Xiaoyun and Ruyu were bitten by a poisonous snake, but fortunately a passing woman rescued them.
The woman took them back to the hut in the valley and fed Qi Xiaoyun and Ruyu the antidote.
"I wonder what you're doing in Myonagaya?"
The woman was veiled, and a pair of almond eyes inquired suspiciously.
"We're here to find the ..... of Qingsleeve Village"
The little master is young and upright.
"Qingsleeve Village? You are going in the wrong direction, Kiyosleeve Village is south of Myona Valley. ”
She raised her hand and pointed to the mouth of the valley, and when she looked back, she saw that the fog between the valleys was gradually dissipating.
There was indeed a small road to the south, but they had turned around for so long, why didn't they find it?
"I said, girl, doesn't your medicine work? Why aren't they awake yet? ”
From Qi Xiaoyun's coma, Hu Oak spun around at the door like a headless fly,
finally couldn't help but ask forward, and the firecrackers almost laughed.
This Hu Oak is very concerned about the second lady?
Seeing that the masked woman's face was slightly gloomy, it was obvious that she was very dissatisfied with Hu Oak's recklessness.
Firecrackers hurriedly comforted Hu Oak.
"Brother Hu, this girl must have a way, you go outside and wait first, and by the way, help us get some water.
They must have been thirsty when they woke up. ”
"Well... I'll go! ”
As soon as Hu Oak heard that he was going to fetch water for Qi's family, he hurriedly responded, turned around and walked out of the house.
"The girl saved us, and we haven't asked the girl's name yet?"
She asked, turning her head.
"A few light bamboos are green, and a little dust-free has its own fragrance.
It's like after Ge Pi Long, but he left a clear shadow in the void hall. ”
The woman did not answer her, but read a poem.
"This poem is Li Xiuyuan's "Ink Bamboo" in the Southern Song Dynasty?"
Firecrackers instantly understood what she meant.
The woman was stunned for a moment, but did not answer.
"The girl's name can be called Mozhu?"
"Sure enough."
Mo Zhu chuckled.
"Thank you, Miss Mozhu, for saving me."
"It's just fate, no thanks."
"Only the girl lives alone in this Myona Valley?"
"And my eldest brother, he's a luthier who lives on the other side of Myona Valley."
"Piano master? Then the sound of the piano we heard when we first entered the valley was played by the girl's eldest brother? ”
She remembered that as soon as they entered the valley, they heard the sound of a harp like the sound of a mountain stream.
Melodious resounded through the valley.
"Yes, it's my eldest brother Xuancao, I just heard his piano sound,
Fang knew that he had returned to the valley, so he went to look for him with the newly collected medicine, but who knew that he met you on the way. ”
"Then thank you Brother Xuancao, I don't know if I can meet you?"
Firecrackers have never heard such a beautiful piano sound, and even Shan Heng's piano skills are a few points inferior.
She was a little curious, this person was superb in the piano, I don't know what it was like to be born?
"My eldest brother is a quirk by nature and doesn't like outsiders, I will convey your thanks..."
Mo Zhu lowered his body and stuffed two pills into the mouths of Qi Xiaoyun and Ruyu.
"They will wake up in half an hour, if it is late to-day, and the mountain road is difficult.
If you're not in a hurry, you can stay overnight. ”
"Then thank you Miss Mozhu..."
Firecracker sat back in front of the bed and looked at Qi Xiaoyun's forehead with beads of sweat oozing slightly.
After a while, Hu Oak made water, and Mo Zhu also went to the courtyard to prepare dinner.
When Ruyu and Qi Xiaoyun woke up, their brains were still groggy,
After only a few sips of water, he fell asleep again.
"W-why did you faint again?"
Hu Oak chased into the yard with a bowl of water and shouted loudly.
"They fell asleep, which happened to mean that they were poisoned, but their bodies were too weak."
Mo Zhu didn't raise his head, although Hu Oak was not bad, but he was too angry, she didn't like it.
The four of them had dinner in the courtyard, and Hu Xiang went to the bedside to take care of Qi's family, and the little young master was very curious about everything here.
has been walking around, firecrackers followed Mozhu to the back mountain of Myona Valley to deliver medicine to Xuan Cao,
She stood in front of the hut and waited for Mozhu to come out, although she was curious about who this Xuancao was.
In his heart, he was worried about Mozhu's words, Xuan Cao didn't like outsiders, and he was afraid of disturbing others.
He also put away his thoughts, just sat in the afterglow and looked at the scenery under the mountain, waiting for Mozhu to come out.
In the middle of the night, Mozhu came to look for her with a bamboo basket on her back, she turned to look,
But I only saw Xuan Cao dressed in white, standing in front of the hut with his hands in his hands,
It seemed to be watching them.
In the early morning of the next day, the five people of the firecracker group said goodbye to Mozhu.
Before leaving, Mozhu put a topaz bracelet on her hand.
"I think we all have a bamboo character in our names, which is very fateful.
Look at the deep cold in your body, this yellow dragon jade bracelet will be given to you, and you often wear it,
It can drive away cold in the body. ”
"Thank you so much, Miss Mozhu, I don't have anything of value on me,
He gave this hand-embroidered purse to the girl, which was also regarded as a gift. ”
Mozhu took the purse and sent them out of the valley.
Before leaving the valley, the faint sound of the guqin sounded in the mountains, and she looked up to see the white clothes sitting on the top of the mountain, like a jade tree.
After the five of them left the valley, they successfully found Qingsleeve Village, and Hu Oak instructed the little brother of the Hu family to find two empty houses for the Qi family and the little young master to settle down first.
Firecrackers are like jade, so he took the little master down the mountain to buy some ingredients and pots and pans and bedding.
The house is not big, but there is a simple courtyard surrounded by a fence.
Fruit trees were planted behind the house, and in front of the house was a meandering stream.
Firecrackers followed Qi's family to live here for a few days, and Ruyu was anxious to go back to her hometown to settle her parents.
And he departed with them.
Before leaving, she agreed with Qi Xiaoyun that she would communicate with her from time to time to report her safety.
He will also come to visit her and the young master from time to time, Hu Oak said,
With the younger brother of the Hu family here, everything will be taken care of, and he will often come over to help the Qi family.
It seems that this big brother Hu Oak is thinking about Qi Xiaoyun.
Firecrackers are secretly happy in their hearts; "Now don't worry about the lady, no one will take care of it."
When the three of them returned, they wanted to pass through the Mona Valley and visit the Mozhu girl again.
But no matter what, I couldn't find the mountain road into the valley.
There was no choice but to go back the same way and return along the avenue.
Ruyu parted ways with them on the way, and Hu Oak wanted to send firecrackers all the way back to the imperial city.
But firecrackers consider that he is burly and bearded,
There are too many obvious features, and they will be wanted and arrested by the government.
He refused his kindness and drove the carriage to the imperial city alone.
