Chapter 19, Under the Red Maple Mountain in the western part of the empire
In the western part of the Xiche Empire, the mountains are endless, and all kinds of strange and towering peaks rise from the ground, like giants standing between heaven and earth. The forests are dense, the vegetation is abundant, and there are many animals playing in the deep mountains, which is full of life and prosperity. The river is like a white ribbon of silk wrapped around the mountains, and the water of the mountain stream makes a tinkling sound. The beautiful view is intoxicating.
At this moment, in the midst of these mountains, at the foot of a relatively majestic peak, there are several small cabins. The house is simple, surrounded by a fence, and the vegetable field behind the house is planted with green vegetables, and a small chicken shed is circled next to the vegetable field, and the hens in it make a "clucking" sound, and must have laid several eggs. The chalet is nestled among the trees, giving it a peaceful and serene look.
Today's weather is clear, and the bright sun casts a golden light through the cotton-like clouds. The beam of light shone through the gaps between the branches and through the windows of one of the cabins, illuminating the room transparently.
This room is also simple, but there is a bed, a table, a few chairs, a few cabinets, and some hoes and sickles and other working tools in the corner of the room.
At this time, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl sat in the room. Although the girl is not pretty, she is also quite beautiful, belonging to the type of intriguing, with braids, sitting on a chair lazily basking in the sunlight projected from the window, stretching out her hand and yawning, turning her head to look at the bed.
The young man lying on the couch was actually Guan Sheng, who had a strange change in the battle with Xun Tai that day. Guan Sheng had obviously returned to his original appearance at this time, his face was pale, his lips were bloodless, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to be in a coma.
"I don't know when this man will wake up!" the girl sighed, blinking her eyes and staring at Guan Sheng's face, her thin eyebrows furrowed, biting her rosy lips.
Suddenly, Guan Sheng's eyes moved slightly, slowly opened his eyes, and were slightly blurred by the dazzling sun, and then rubbed his head and slowly lifted the quilt and sat up.
When the girl saw Guan Sheng wake up, she was overjoyed, jumped up happily like a rabbit, and exclaimed in surprise: "Ah! You are awake!!Don't move, I'll bring you medicine!!"
After the girl finished excitedly, she rushed out of the room, and then faintly heard her calling her mother, "Mother! he is awake!!
Guan Sheng sat up on the bed, his brows furrowed, and he looked around the surroundings with empty eyes, and then noticed that he was wearing extremely coarse cloth clothes, which immediately made him extremely uncomfortable. The injuries on his body were almost better, although there was still some pain in his chest and abdomen, but there was no blood on the bandages tied to his body, and it was obvious that the injuries were basically healed.
Guan Sheng recalled the situation at that time, and vaguely remembered that he had a strange change, and then flew all the way to the west, and he didn't know how long he flew, and finally fell into the mountains and fields due to physical exhaustion, and it seemed that he was rescued by the people in the mountains.
At this time, the girl who ran out before walked in excitedly with a bowl of decoction, followed by an ordinary-looking middle-aged woman. The middle-aged woman did not enter the room, but just stood at the door and watched quietly, as if there was something taboo.
The girl came to Guan Sheng's bed with the soup and sat down, gently scooped a little with the soup spoon, pouted her ruddy little mouth and blew carefully, and then fed it to Guan Sheng, and said, "Drink the medicine first! I'll get you some food after drinking the medicine!"
Suddenly, Guan Sheng raised his hand and waved, and he directly knocked the decoction medicine in the girl's hand to the ground, the porcelain bowl shattered, the medicinal soup spilled all over the ground, and a cloud of smoke rose, so that the whole room was full of medicinal fragrance.
"Ah!!What are you doing!?" The girl was so frightened that she jumped up, withdrew a certain distance, and looked at Guan Sheng with wide eyes and anxiety.
Guan Sheng lowered his head, although his body had recovered a lot, he was still a little tired. Since he was a child, he was treated as a guinea pig by the imperial doctor in the palace and poured a lot of decoction, and he was extremely disgusted by the smell of this medicine, and now that the girl brought this decoction to him, he naturally knocked it over with his sleeves, and did not answer the girl's words, and said in a weak voice: "Where is this!?"
"This is Red Maple Mountain!" replied the girl, as she went to the corner of the room to fetch a broom and a dustpan, and began to clean up.
The middle-aged woman snorted coldly, a look of disgust appeared on her face, and turned to leave.
"Where is Xiao Lizi!?" Guan Sheng asked as he looked at the girl with empty eyes.
The girl swept the broken bowl into the dustpan, looked up at Guan Sheng, and said with a slight anger on her face: "Xiao Lizi went to the mountains with my father and brother to chop wood! You have been in a coma for so long, do you know how worried Xiao Lizi is about you? Now that you have just woken up, what kind of tantrum do you have? I don't know which family's young master, we saved your life, do you still want to be angry with you?"
"Let him come back to see me!" Guan Sheng said, staggering to his feet barefoot, walking to the window, leaning against the window and looking out. Outside was a small vegetable patch, and the hen crowing next to it made Guan Sheng feel bored.
"You ......" The girl was so angry that she choked up, this person was really the temper of the eldest young master, and he regarded himself as a subordinate, but thinking of Xiao Lizi's diligent and tireless work these days, as well as the deep worry on Xiao Lizi's face, the girl swallowed this evil breath alive, turned around and rushed out of the wooden house, towards the mountains and forests.
After the girl left, Guan Sheng walked back to sit on the bed, raised his left hand, and saw that the storage ring on his index finger was still there, but he was relieved, his thumb gently rubbed the ring, a light flashed, a white bead appeared in his hand, and the other red bead was used by Xiao Lizi to deal with the Pegasus cavalry when he left the palace that day. Looking at the only remaining bead, Guan Sheng couldn't help but feel a little sad, this is a relic left to him by his mother, something he has played with since he was a child, if it is not a critical moment, he doesn't want to use this bead.
"Hey......" Guan Sheng sighed softly, as an emperor, how noble his identity was, and he was the supreme ruler of the entire Xiche Empire, who would have thought that his powerful and extremely wealthy self would fall to such a state. In the middle of the mountains and wilderness, he was rescued by this woodcutter's family.
What should we do in the future, how should we take the next step, and how should we regain the throne? Guan Sheng lowered his head and thought carefully.
It wasn't long before a figure suddenly rushed in from outside the room. Xiao Lizi was tired and panting, but his face was full of endless joy, and he knelt in front of Guan Sheng at once, and cried with joy: "Your Majesty...... Emperor...... It's great that you're okay!!!! young master!!"
Interrupted by Xiao Lizi's thoughts, Guan Sheng shook his head slightly, touched the ring in his hand, and a light flashed, and a set of extremely gorgeous and exquisite robes appeared on the bed.
Guan Sheng stood up, spread his hands, closed his eyes, and said in a flat tone: "Change clothes." ”
"Yes...... Young Master!!" Xiao Lizi hurriedly wiped the tears from her face and began to untie the coarse cloth clothes worn by Guan Sheng.
At this time, the girl standing at the door of the room, her father and brother, were stunned. What is the origin of this young man? What is the son of a rich aristocratic family who has such a magical ring, and can transform it into a garment by touching it? And the magnificence of this garment is unimaginable, I don't know what expensive material it is sewn from, and the golden pattern outlined on it is unusually beautiful, and it shines with an unusually dazzling brilliance in the sunlight, is it a gold wire outline?
The three men standing in the doorway all had their mouths wide open, they had never seen such a noble person, such gorgeous clothes.
