Chapter 793: The Suburbs
In the edict, it was said that he would return to Beijing immediately after receiving the edict, and there must be an urgent matter in Beijing, but the information sent by Captain Si Li did not have any report of any changes in the capital.
Cheng Mo estimated that Liu Xun had something to discuss with him, and was anxious to let him go back, so he hurried all the way and galloped in the direction of the capital.
I was on the road for many days, and seeing that I was about to reach Qinling, Yi'er was sick.
A few days ago, it rained heavily, Cheng Mo practiced in the morning for a few years, his body bones are very strong, the guards are strong in martial arts, how can he be afraid of a rain, only Yi'er is a daughter in the end, and she has to be strong, it is not the same thing to bathe in the rain, when she finds a house to stay, she does not change her clothes first, she has to wait for Cheng Mo to change clothes, so she delays for a while, and catches the cold. She was strong and didn't tell Cheng Mo.
In the past few days, I have had a period, and when I came here, I couldn't hold it anymore and fell ill.
Her whole body leaned softly on Cheng Mo's back, if it weren't for Cheng Mo's fast hands, she would have been carried off the horse.
In this area, there is only one small road that extends forward, along the low trees on the side of the road, and the mountains are towering into the sky not far away.
The two guards quickly set up the tent, Cheng Mo carried her in and let her lie down, and ordered, "Fetch a basin of water." ”
I don't know if there are ponds and streams in this place, usually a simple order, in this wilderness, I don't know if it can be done, but Baidu still agreed, flew away, and went to find a water source.
The weather in March is already very hot, I don't know how long it will take to walk here to the populated place, Yi'er burned badly, her lips are chapped, she is just sleepy, I am afraid that I can't last so long on the road.
Cheng Mo sat beside her, there was no ice, no water, so he had to fan her with a big leaf.
The two didn't get along for a long time, but Yi'er's personality of putting everything on her face still made her not only quickly familiar with Cheng Mo, but also quickly made the guards such as Heizi accept her.
Now that she is sick, the guards are naturally worried, and after arranging a guard, two more guards look for water in different directions.
Yi'er slept for a while, opened her eyes, and said in a weak voice, "I'm not hot." ”
Let him fan himself, Yi'er is distressed.
Cheng Mo said: "Just close your eyes and sleep." ”
Ordinary people, when they are sick, they basically rely on carrying it, and it is good to carry it, but they can't be compared with the nobles in the capital, they can't invite a doctor, and they don't have good medicinal materials, so they can't help it. Cheng Mo believes that even in the populated townships, it is not necessarily possible to invite doctors, and in some places in Shuzhong, they are still using the coarsest tea leaves to boil water to treat diseases.
"Hmm." Yi'er was very docile and obediently closed her eyes.
Baidu went for almost an hour, and came back with a few skins full of water. The handkerchief was soaked in cold spring water and applied to Yi'er's forehead, and Yi'er moaned softly and groaned comfortably, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
The bonfire burned, and the guards began to boil water. Following Cheng Mo, under Cheng Mo's repeated orders, they had long been accustomed to drinking boiling water.
While the water was boiling, two other guards returned, but they did not find a source of water.
Cheng Mo drank a glass of water, picked up the cool boiling water and entered the tent, several guards glanced at each other, and they all showed a knowing smile, and one of them even squeezed his eyebrows, that meaning is obvious.
Yi'er felt helped up in her sleep, the sweet spring water entered her mouth, and when she woke up, she didn't open her eyes, but leaned on Cheng Mo's arms, smelling the good smell on his body, and felt a peace in her heart.
Early that morning, she was worried about having to go to Zhao's house to be happy, and she swayed between running away from home or going to Zhao's house to make a big fuss, she didn't expect to meet such a person, at first she just thought he was good-looking, but she didn't expect him to be the king of Bei'an, and he solved his big problem in one sentence.
In the past few days, he has been walking all the way, and he has not regarded himself as a servant, is this affectionate to himself? The girl's feelings made her suffer from gains and losses, and she sighed softly.
"Awake?" Cheng Mo said: "If you want to drink more water, you drink another glass, and I will change the veil for you." ”
was called broken, it's not good to pretend to sleep again, Yi'er raised her eyes, and what caught her eye was a snow-white brocade dress, and then up, a slender neck, a good-looking Adam's apple, and a resolute chin. She watched carefully, her eyes slowly rising, and she heard a laughing voice above her head, "Have you seen enough?" ”
Is the little girl bold, or is the woman of this era unrestrained? The two are not intimate, so they leaned on his arms and looked at him carefully.
Yi'er was a little shy, but she was still stiff-mouthed, and said, "Are you good-looking, why do I look at you?" ”
Cheng Mo said slowly: "I'm not good-looking, you still look at me?" ”
"Hey, you bad guy!" Yi'er was really shy and hid her head in Cheng Mo's arms.
The wet handkerchief on her forehead fell on Cheng Mo's clothes, Cheng Mo picked it up and put it on her forehead, and said, "Don't move." ”
It seems that the spring water is effective, and I know that I am shy. Changed her with a wet handkerchief, Cheng Mo said, "Let's sleep for a while." ”
Yi'er didn't let him, grabbed his sleeve, and said: "Lord, I am an orphan, I was adopted by my father since I was a child, and now I am far away from home, except for you, there are no relatives, you ...... Don't leave me alone. ”
She knew that she would not admit defeat verbally, and she had no respect for this prince who held the power of life and death and decided the fate of people with a word, but wasn't that for fear of being looked down upon by him, if he left himself here, he would not be able to live.
Cheng Mo said: "You were raised by Lu Weng?" ”
The old man's surname is Lu, and after Yi'er arrived at Jade House, he once entrusted his son as a partner to talk to Cheng Mo and entrusted his daughter to Cheng Mo. Others have to abide by the rules of the Jade Residence, but the guys of the Jade Residence don't use it.
Cheng Mo could feel the old man's strong love for his daughter, but he didn't think that Yi'er was actually raised by him.
"Well, my brother and I were picked up by my father on the side of the road. He never married in his life. With attachment in her eyes, Yi'er said, "My father treats us like his own." I left in a hurry and didn't say goodbye to my father, and my heart was very worried. ”
Cheng Mo comforted: "The capital is not far from Yangzhou, so let's go home and see it in the future." ”
Neither of them mentioned a three-year appointment, and Yi'er still had to go home after three years.
Baidu rode a horse for more than 20 miles, and found a small village, only more than 10 households, which were tenants of farming, and there was no doctor in the village, and the tenants said that there was only a barefoot doctor in the town, and he would only have a few herbs. Such a doctor, how dare Cheng Mo believe it, so he decided to spend the night here at night and see Yi'er's situation.
Constantly using a wet clothcloth, drinking water constantly, and Yi'er's strong physique, by the middle of the moon, her fever had subsided by half, and she was able to eat half of the cake.
