Volume 1 The First Encounter Chapter 23 Saving People in the Mountains
Li Jiaoer tossed and turned all night, and fell asleep in a daze until the third watch, and woke up before the fifth watch.
Yun Tuan was sleeping soundly next to her, so she didn't get up, she just looked at the top of the bed, and pondered about Chen Niangzi's affairs repeatedly, but she couldn't figure it out.
She guessed that maybe Mrs. Chen was Chen Guo's fine work? But she and Xue Zhen even have children, and they have been together for more than a year.
Now that she has realized Xue Zhen's deep mind and unkindness, she doesn't believe that he will be easily fooled like this, and she can't see the identity of Mrs. Chen.
Or, is it already a game for him to bring her back?
When exactly did Xue Zhen start calculating?
Li Jiaoer thought that the sky was already bright.
Yun Tuan also got up, served her to change her clothes and comb her hair, and after breakfast, Li Jiaoer still didn't come up with an ugly figure.
Li Fu saw that she was in a daze with red eyes swollen from crying when she got up in the morning, worried that her daughter was depressed, so he wanted to take her outside the city to collect medicine.
He is a doctor, and after knowing that after being sad and angry, it is easier to think and worry more when he is bored at home, so it is better to go out for a walk and dissipate the depression in his heart.
Li Jiaoer knew her father's kindness, but she was tired and lazy, so she said: "Dad, there was an accident just a time ago, and now the streets are full of military masters, so it's better to stay at home." ”
She didn't even want to go to the Karakuri Pavilion now.
Besides, what Chen Guoren outside wants is her, although Xue Zhen said that someone protects her, but he is not afraid of 10,000, just in case.
Li Fu persuaded her: "It's because there are military masters inside and outside the city at this time, so it's safer." Let's drive the donkey cart to Panshan to see the situation, why bother raising mushrooms at home? ”
For example, if it is not unified today, there are often wars on the border, so the horse is under the control of the government, and ordinary people are not allowed to use it, because the people, whether rich or poor, can only ride donkeys and donkey carts at most.
Li Jiaoer couldn't, so she had to change the pigmented dress she wore when she was doing carpentry every day, unloaded the gold and silver jewelry, only brought the wooden hairpin and earrings, and asked Yuntuan to also change the cloth clothes and go together.
Yun Tuan really wanted her to go out for a walk, so he also babbled and enlightened her.
Li Jiao'er waited for almost half an hour to tidy it up, and after hesitating for a while, she still put the silver whistle that Xue Zhen gave her in her purse.
Li Fu's interest was still very high, carrying the medicine basket on his back, and telling Zheng Xiaoxi which one would come to pick up the medicine today, and which one would come for a follow-up visit:
"If there is nothing important, just let people wait, and your eldest sister and I will be able to come back in the next day."
"Yes, Master and eldest sister should also pay attention to safety." Zheng Xiaoxi said, sent them to the front of the store, watched them get into the donkey cart, and slowly moved forward before going back.
*
There were still a lot of servants and brown-clothed men on the streets, and they had not walked a few steps before they were checked, and when they crossed important intersections, they had to be stopped and asked a few words.
Until the city gate, the inspection is more severe, no matter in or out, not only must you check the place, but those with scars on their bodies and those with non-capital accents will be pulled aside for detailed questioning.
However, it was the turn of the Li family's father and daughter, although they were also interrogated, several city gate officials obviously recognized Li Jiao'er, glanced at each other, and after registering the office, they politely let them out of the city.
When they arrived at the outskirts of the city, there were still many errand soldiers on the side of the road, a few steps and a post, scanning everyone passing by as if they were facing a great enemy.
Li Fu drove the donkey cart and sighed when he saw this: "Now that we have successfully left the city, we are still stained with the light of the Marquis of Anyang." ”
Li Jiaoer laughed.
She cried yesterday and figured out that she couldn't get along now, because she was not enough to protect her family, so she was controlled by Xue Zhen.
After figuring it out, his anger calmed down and he was no longer resentful.
Not today, just wait until she can protect her family, and then reconcile with him.
She was unwilling to hide it, and sat on the side of the car with her knees crossed: "Daddy is a doctor, I am the young owner of the Karakutsu Pavilion, without him, we will only be more troublesome when we go in and out, and we can't touch his light." ”
Li Fu heard his daughter say this, knowing that she had let go, he smiled with relief, and didn't mention those bad things, but only talked to Li Jiaoer about some family things.
Not far from the foot of the mountain, Li Fu found a tea stall, deposited the donkey cart, and after several errands, he went up the mountain along the mountain road.
When they reached the mountain, there were no more errands.
Everyone was really relaxed at this time, Li Fu pointed to all kinds of flowers and plants on the side of the road along the way, and talked about pharmacology and medical skills with Li Jiaoer.
The clouds are funny on the side, the three of them are talking and laughing, and there is a breeze and warm sun, which is easy to make people's minds open.
At first, he ignored what happened, and only stayed halfway up the mountain, Li Fu was picking there, and when Li Jiaoer helped, he suddenly saw a drop of dried blood on the blades of grass.
There are hunters and medicine farmers in the mountains, and it is not uncommon to have a little bloodstain, so Li Jiaoer didn't take it seriously, but in a blink of an eye, she saw that there were scratched silk on the low thorns next to the bloodstains.
The long, thin strips of stone blue were also stained with blood.
Li Jiaoer stayed in the Hou Mansion of Anyang for three years, and immediately recognized that both the materials and the workmanship were all progressive things, and they were definitely not suitable for hunters and medicine farmers.
She hurriedly looked in the direction of the long strip, but the stones of the mountain road had long been loosened, and she almost stepped on the air and almost fell.
The clouds on the side hurriedly grabbed her and reminded: "Miss be careful, the rain in the previous two days thought that the roads in the mountains were washed away." ”
Li Jiao'er settled down, holding the clouds with one hand and the dwarf tree next to her with the other to look down the hillside.
Sure enough, there was a stone blue thing under the steep slope, it should be a person, I don't know whether I am alive or dead.
"Look, isn't that a person?" She pointed downwards and said.
When Yun Tuan heard it, he looked at Li Jiao'er's hand, was startled, and shouted, "It seems to be true." ”
Li Jiao'er hurriedly said: "Dad, come and see, someone has fallen." ”
Li Fu was identifying two very similar herbs, and when he heard it, he hurriedly looked down, and immediately took out a rope from the medicine basket and said:
"I'll go down and have a look."
Li Jiao'er hurriedly grabbed him: "Dad, be careful, let's go down the path in front of us, it's safer." ”
Li Fu also felt that the road was unstable, so he took the two girls and staggered along the mountain road to where the man was.
When they got closer, everyone found that there was a large patch of blood on the man's back, and they looked bad and lucky.
Li Fu asked Li Jiao'er and Yun Tuan to stand behind with a medicine shovel, while he came over cautiously, first probed at the man's snort, and said with a little relief:
"Alive."
As he spoke, he turned the man over, and was even more surprised: "It's a woman?" ”
When Li Jiao'er heard Li Fu's words, she approached with a medicine shovel, but when Li Fu turned the person over, she had already recognized the person.
It turned out to be Mrs. Chen!
Li Jiaoer's guess when she didn't want to toss and turn last night became true at this moment, and she couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
And the clouds also saw clearly, and exclaimed, "Ah, yes...... It's her. ”
Li Fu was about to start bandaging Mrs. Chen, when he heard her exclamation and looked at her suspiciously: "Who?" ”
Before Yun Tuan could speak, Li Jiao'er motioned for her not to speak, touched the silver whistle in her purse, and looked around.
Quiet in the woods.
Only the sound of the wind, the movement of the forest, the song of cicadas, and the singing of birds.
