Chapter 216: Hongyang finds a clue
Hongtian couldn't sleep even if he went back, so he continued to look for Yongshu with everyone.
When they arrived at a ruined temple, the guards went in to investigate, and Hongtian also got out of the carriage, and there was a pile of firewood in the temple, which seemed to have been extinguished not long ago, and someone should have been here not long ago.
The guards searched carefully, but found no clues, and when Hongsun passed by the wheat straw pile, there was a crisp sound under his feet, as if something had been trampled on by him.
Hongtian looked down and kicked the wheat straw with his foot, only to see an earring on the ground.
The earrings were very familiar, Hongtian leaned over to pick them up, took a closer look, and showed surprise in his eyes, "This...... This is Yongshu's earrings! ”
Xiao Jinzi hurriedly leaned over and took a look, he didn't see anything special about these earrings, "Master, are you right?" ”
Hongday's dim eyes shone brightly, and he pinched the earrings very excitedly, "I remember Yongshu's jewelry very clearly, it is impossible to be mistaken, this is her thing, she has been here!" ”
Looking at the fire, Hongsun speculated that she should have left an hour ago. It stands to reason that it is dark, there is no inn in front of it, and there are no residents, Yongshu should stay here, why is there no one in this temple?
What's even more strange to Hongtian is that if Yongshu escaped the control of those people, then she should go in the direction of the capital, why did she pass by this ruined temple? This is far from the direction of the capital!
Could it be that Yongshu thought that he didn't come to save him and gave up on her, and she was very disappointed in him, so she left alone?
If that is the case, he must find Yongshu as soon as possible and explain it to her.
More and more clues prove that Yongshu is still alive, this time is close to the son, the night is as cold as winter, Xiao Jinzi persuaded the master to go back to the house to rest, waiting for news, Hongtian always felt that Yongshu was not far away, he wanted to find it in person, because he was unwilling to go back to the house, and continued to move forward.
When he got to the front, there were three forked roads, but he didn't know which one Yongshu was taking, he couldn't be sure, so he could only divide into three ways with the guards and search for them.
How can this every road be winding and winding, there are many villages in the town, door-to-door investigation, it is really difficult, these people are asleep at night, inexplicably wake people up and search, some of the tempered scolding, some of the family dogs began to bark more than once, searching people at night, it is not easy.
But no matter how difficult it is, Hongyang is unwilling to give up every possibility.
After Yongshu escaped the control of the assassin, if she wanted to return to him, it was extremely easy, but if she didn't want to escape, then it would be difficult for him to find her.
He hadn't closed his eyes for a day and a night, and he still insisted on searching for it himself, but the sky didn't fulfill his wishes, and it suddenly rained heavily at night!
The rain was so heavy that the roads in the villages and towns were already muddy, and when it rained heavily, they became muddy, and the carriages were difficult to walk, and only the horses could barely walk.
Hongtian planned to ride a horse and continue to move forward, but Xiao Jinzi repeatedly stopped him,
"Master! Heavy rain obstructs the view, and horses can fall if they are not careful, so you must not risk riding, so let the guards find them! On such a stormy day, it is impossible for Fujin to continue to move forward, and if you want to find out which inn you are staying in, let the guards check them one by one, and report as soon as there is news. ”
Hongtian didn't listen to the dissuasion, insisted on leaving, and was so anxious that Xiaojinzi threw himself on the ground and knelt down, holding his legs tightly and not letting go.
"Master! Begging you, minions! Your companions will only cause trouble for the guards, and they will have to take care of you, so they can't concentrate on searching! If you fall ill in the rain, how can you continue to look for Fujin? Let's rest for the night, and go again tomorrow when the rain stops! ”
The guards all bowed their hands and begged the fifth elder brother to go back and wait in unison. After weighing the pros and cons, Hongtian finally decided to stay, but he was reluctant to return home, so he only found an inn in a nearby town to stay temporarily, and told them to come and report as soon as they had news.
As Hongtian expected, Yongshu did stay in this temple.
At that time, the two of them had been riding horses for a long time and were a little tired, so Honghui took her here to rest.
But after thinking about it, he still felt that he should not stay here, once someone chased them, they would be easily discovered.
He consulted with Yongshu, who also felt that the place was not safe, so the two of them decided to continue riding forward to see if there were any villages ahead of them to spend the night.
After another hour of travel, they finally found the village and stayed at the house of a peasant woman.
Honghui could stand it, and after drinking a bowl of hot tea, Yongshu was cold all the time, but his forehead was hot, and he was weak and uncomfortable.
It's probably because she hasn't eaten or slept well in the past two days, and tonight she rode a horse and drank the wind, and she caught a cold, so that's why she will be like this.
The lady Qin accepted their money, and was very enthusiastic to help find the doctor nearby, the doctor was old, and it was inconvenient to go out late at night, so she grabbed a few medicines and asked Aunt Qin to take them back, and told her that if the fever did not subside tonight, he would go over tomorrow.
After Aunt Qin came back, she lit a fire and boiled medicine, and cleaned up a room. Her house is not big, she and her granddaughter live in one room, only an empty room is left, Aunt Qin still thinks they are husband and wife, let them live together, Yong Shu hurriedly explained that they are not husband and wife.
Honghui also understood that it was impossible for Yongshu to have sex with him at this time, so he planned to make a bunk in the hall, but the ground was cold after all, and Aunt Qin meant that there was a small bed in the firewood room, although it was not clean, but it could barely live in it.
Honghui refused to go, saying that it was good to be in the hall, which was closer to the house where Yongshu lived, and if she was uncomfortable at night and wanted to drink water, he could hear it when she called.
These two people, obviously one is a married little woman, and the other is traveling together, but not her husband, it is inevitable that people feel strange, but Aunt Qin is not a mouthful, some things are better to ask less, she only smiled and praised:
"Childe really thinks about this girl! Then according to your idea, I will lay you a floor. ”
Honghui was indeed very patient with her, and Yong Shu felt grateful in her heart, but it was just a gratitude, and other than that, she couldn't give him any response.
At this time, she was dizzy, lying in the tent only to feel her head loose and tight, obviously very sleepy, but she couldn't sleep.
After the medicine was boiled, Honghui took the medicine bowl from Aunt Qin's hand, he took the medicine bowl to the West House, Yongshu sat up with difficulty on the bed, Honghui planned to feed her, but she didn't want to bother him,
"I'll drink it myself! Spoonfuls are too bitter to drink. ”
"Then slow down, beware of burning your mouth."
Yongshu picked up the medicine bowl, endured the pungent breath, and drank it in one gulp. Seeing this, Honghui couldn't help but think of the past, "I remember that Yan Cheng told me before, you are afraid of bitterness and don't like to drink medicine, and you have to take a hawthorn to slow down after drinking medicine." ”
That should be the habit of the original owner, Yongshu doesn't have this habit, and the current situation does not allow her to be hypocritical, "It's important to save your life now, but it's not so much about it." ”
Honghui has always been unwilling, always thinking about how to let Yongshu return to his side, and now Yongshu is beside him, such a situation, like a dream, always makes him feel unreal,
"Looking back on the past, I remember it vividly, and I always feel that it was still yesterday, but each of us has already experienced so much, and it is a pity that Iwashi got married and left less than a year ago."
When it comes to Yancheng, Yongshu is not sympathetic, "That's his own fault, his sister-in-law is so good, but he doesn't know how to cherish it, who is to blame?" ”
This is the truth, Honghui has no way to refute, "Although he is my friend, I don't agree with his approach, raising an outer room, it really shouldn't be." If I take you as a wife, I will not take a concubine, but I will treat you with all my heart. ”
If the original owner marries Honghui, no one can say whether the future will be happy, Yongshu didn't want to respond, and his eyes interrupted: "There is no if, there is no need to mention the past." ”
"I may not have had a chance before, but now it's different, Yongshu ......" Honghui still wanted to express his position, but was interrupted by Yongshu,
"I'm afraid the third master has forgotten, you still have a marriage contract."
The marriage contract was given by Yongzheng, and Honghui never cared, "I left the capital this time, and I am ready to cut off relations with my family and travel the world with you, and the marriage contract is uncountable, it is just the meaning of the elders, I have never taken it seriously!" ”
