Chapter 7: The Adventure of Goose Ridge
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the two Tang carp have lived in the secluded forest canyon for more than half a month, and the weather is gradually getting cooler, and the mountain is even colder than the outside, as if it has entered late autumn.
Since the Tang carp lived on the mountain safe and sound, the villagers of Lijia Village at the foot of the mountain all took the Tang carp as a strange person and a living Buddha, and the village chief also specially led the villagers to thank the Tang carp for solving a major hidden danger in the village, and sent a lot of food.
Tang Lili did not refuse, but accepted it very happily, they lived in the mountains, and they just lacked these basic daily necessities.
However, Tang Lili did not harvest in vain, after all, this Lijia Village is not rich, and it is not easy for him to take other people's things for nothing, and all the things he collected were given to the silver one by one, only a little more.
even entrusted the Li family couple last time to help buy in the future, Aunt Li is a warm-hearted person, and she agreed to Tang Li's entrustment.
Today is the day of Tang Lituo village chief to help, the day of the customized bed to receive the goods, the craftsman who made the bed is still introduced by the village chief, it is said that the craftsmanship is extremely exquisite, but the transportation in this mountain is inconvenient, Tang Licai took the apricot forest to drive the carriage to the craftsman's house to pull the goods.
The two of them dismantled the original carriage and replaced it with a flat carriage, which was flat and suitable for the big bed.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the craftsman's house near the Goose Ridge, suddenly, a group of figures appeared in the forest.
A group of black-clothed men were chasing a woman and a young man with knives, and the woman was still holding her thin son next to her on the way to be chased, the two were dressed in sackcloth, covered in mud, and the woman's hair bun was even more messy, looking very embarrassed.
The mother and son were out of breath, and while running in the direction of Tang Li, they looked back from time to time, and one of them tripped over the rocks on the road without paying attention, and was about to crash head-on into the carriage that Tang Li's carriage was driving and died under the horse's hooves.
Tang Li, who was sitting in the carriage, didn't have time to think about it, and in the blink of an eye, he reached out and grabbed the reins in Xinglin's hand, and pulled it back hard, who knew that the horse stopped sharply because of the pull, and the neck and front half of the body stopped sharply, but the hind feet still continued to gallop forward because of inertia.
Seeing this, Tang Li could only fly and get out of the car, walk quickly on the side of the horse, and kick the horse in the belly with a strong kick. I heard the neighing of the horses and their long screams, and they fell to the ground with a pop, causing a lot of dust to fly.
Xinglin witnessed Tang Li's completion of a series of actions in an instant, his brain had lost his reaction, his body still maintained the posture just now, sitting on the flat car in a daze, looking at the horse that fell to the ground and twitched in front of him, and forgot to exclaim in shock.
Tang Carp turned over and landed, fanned the dust flying in front of him, and stood in front of the horse, with the mother and son sitting at his feet, and opposite was the black-clothed people who stopped with long knives, standing on the opposite side of Tang Carp and the others.
The woman looked just muddy from a distance, and Tang Li noticed that she was seriously injured when she got closer, and her chest was stained red with blood, and she looked like she was going to swallow her breath in front of Tang Li.
The young man was well protected, although his face and body were a little dirty, but he was indeed unharmed, and his body did not look as good as the weak crown, and he was about to touch the year of the dancing elephant, and at this moment he was holding his injured mother with both hands in worry.
The woman saw that Tang Li's skills were extraordinary, well-dressed, and she was willing to break her carriage to help, she suddenly felt an inexplicable strength all over her body, stood up suddenly, knelt and climbed to pull the hem of Tang Li's clothes, crying and shouting.
"Miss, save us, this group of people has no grievances with us, chasing and killing our mother and son all the way, please have mercy on us..."
Without waiting for the woman to speak, the man in black on the opposite side seemed to be unable to help it, and suddenly a person stood out of it, although he was dressed the same as the others, but he gave birth to a master's aura, and it seemed that he should be the leader, probably because he saw Tang Li's skills just now, and he unexpectedly hugged a very polite punch.
"This young lady has never been known in her life, please don't delay me and other errands!"
Tang Liben is not a nosy person, although he doesn't know the good and evil of this mother and son, but seeing that the person who is chasing and killing is orderly and uniformly dressed, he doesn't need to think about it and knows that he is a killer who is specially raised to do things, and he specializes in doing some things that hurt nature and reason, so it is inevitable that he will have some compassion.
What's more, today I was happy to come to get my carved bed, hoping to sleep comfortably at night, but this carriage was damaged, and I definitely couldn't do it.
"What if I want to take care of it?"
Tang Li didn't think much about it, he decisively bypassed the mother and son on the ground, took a step forward and pulled out the jade flute on his waist, and looked at the leading man with his eyes slightly squinted.
"If you don't measure yourself, you will find death!"
The man in black said that, and with a wave of his hand, the killers rushed up, and raised the big knives in their hands and slashed over.
Tang Litou didn't reply, so he shouted to Xinglin: "Xinglin, take them away!" With that, Xiao was held in one hand, and with a stomp under his feet, he flew up to meet the black-clothed killer on the opposite side, and exchanged hands with the other party.
Xinglin woke up like a dream, hurriedly climbed down from the flat car, pulled up the young man on the ground, picked up the injured woman with him, and ran in the direction of the secluded forest canyon without looking back.
The three of them stumbled all the way, not daring to rest for a moment, and ran for half an hour in a daze, and ran directly to the floating clouds in the secluded forest canyon.
Entering the Fuyun Residence, Xinglin took the two to the west house opposite where he lived, and just helped the woman to lie on the bed, the woman suddenly got up, her upper body lay on the edge of the bed, and spit out a mouthful of blood sprinkled on the ground, and the blood bubbled with a dark color.
"Mother!"
The young man sitting on the edge of the bed burst into tears, helped the woman to sit on the head of the bed, and wiped the corners of the woman's mouth with his sleeve.
"Auntie, you, are you poisoned? What a good thing that is! ”
Xinglin was shocked, just now because he couldn't dodge, and even a few drops of blood broke on his body, he hurriedly stepped forward and said helplessly.
The woman looked at the panicked Xinglin, still looking calm, as if she was another person who spit blood in her mouth just now, and comforted her calmly and slowly: "Little brother, don't worry, I am a doctor myself, and I know my own body." ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at the crying son in front of him lovingly, reached out to stroke the side of his son's face, and gently swept away the tears on the young man's face with his thumb.
"Yan Zhi, manly man, don't cry."
Shen Yanzhi tried hard to purse his mouth after listening, trying not to let himself sob out, but the tears could not stop falling, and his nose twitched and clenched his mother's hand.
"Mother... I don't cry... It's just you ......"
"Yes, auntie, your body...."
Xinglin was so anxious that he interrupted Shen Yanzhi's intermittent words, and finished speaking for the young man in a panic.
"No, the so-called doctors don't treat themselves, I have to go find a doctor quickly!"
In the house in front of him, the only one who can use it is himself, so he no longer hesitates, Xinglin turned around and trotted down the mountain to find a doctor, who knew that before he went out of the door, he happened to bump into Tang Carp who turned back to the yard in the dust, and one did not stop, and almost fell to the ground, staggering in place.
Tang Li grabbed Xinglin and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, you're in a hurry?" ”
Xinglin saw Tang Li's return, and the big stone hanging in his heart was finally put down, and suddenly forgot that there was still a woman in danger of life and death in the house, and asked instead of answering: "Miss?" Miss, can you be hurt? As he spoke, he dragged Tang Li's left and right hands up and down.
Tang Lili hurriedly grabbed Xinglin's shoulders, stopped Xinglin's rollover, and said impatiently: "How could those few nobodies hurt me, say quickly, why are you going?" ”
Xinglin suddenly remembered that he seemed to be clever, stood on tiptoe and covered his mouth with his hand, probed into Tang Li's ear and said carefully: "Miss! The woman was poisoned! Spit out a mouthful of black blood! I'm afraid she'll die with us! I'm going to go to the bottom of the mountain to get a doctor! ”
Tang Li just saw the external injuries in a hurry, but he didn't expect that she was actually poisoned, and Zhengse said: "Then you go and go to the village chief, he knows where the doctor is!" ”
Xinglin answered, let go of Tang Li, and trotted away.
As soon as Tang Li entered the door, he saw the red and blackened blood on the ground, and the mother and son cried and hugged each other, knowing that it was not good to disturb, and was about to turn around and go to the courtyard to wait for the apricot forest to come back, but was suddenly stopped by the woman on the bed.
"Miss, please stay!"
Although his voice was hoarse and low, Tang Li heard it, so he turned back to the bed.
"Miss doesn't recognize me?"
When the woman saw Tang Li coming to her, she asked softly with a smile.
Tang Li was very puzzled when he heard this, he rarely left Beijing, when did he meet the rural mother and son in this wild place? I couldn't help but step forward and carefully check the blood-covered face in front of me again, and only after a moment did I suddenly speak.
"You're Dr. Qi?!"
Tang Li's mother has always been friendly with the Empress Dowager Xu in the palace, and she inevitably went to ask the Empress Dowager Xu to say goodbye, and this Doctor Qi often followed the Empress Dowager Xu.
Empress Dowager Xu has always had a headache and stubborn disease, it is said that no one can cure it, only this Qi doctor can solve it, so she still has some status in the palace, and later she was married to Shen Jiang, the deputy general of Mengqi, and the so-called limelight is unparalleled for a while.
It's just that this sudden appearance in front of him with ragged clothes and bloodstains, Tang Li really didn't recognize it.
Doctor Qi pulled out a smile with difficulty, and nodded to confirm Tang Li's conjecture.
"Miss has good eyesight, thanks to Miss today's rescue, my mother and son can survive so far, Miss has no way to repay her kindness, I dare to hope that Miss can agree to this thing again, and the concubine will repay you as a cow and a horse in her next life!"
Doctor Qi said that he wanted to get up and kowtow to Tang Li, but he struggled for a while because of his injury and poisoning, but he didn't get up after all.
Tang Li looked at Dr. Qi, and then at the red-eyed young man beside the bed, with undried tears on his face, and knew it in his heart. With his hands behind his back, he slowly spoke: "It's really a trouble, the matter of my departure from the palace is known to the world, and now I am an idler, but you have added a job to me for nothing." ”
