Chapter 70: Mr. and Mrs. Lin Quan
Amber could still hear sounds in her ears, but the sound was so faint that it seemed like her entire head had been plunged into the water. It seemed as if someone was saying something beside her, and then she felt someone touching her forehead, and the man's palm was rough.
The sound is getting clearer.
"I don't know whose girl it is, how did she fall into the river on a rainy day." An old lady's voice reached Amber's ears.
"I don't look like a child from a poor family."
Then came an old voice, but it was so muffled that it was hard to hear what was being said.
The old lady continued, "It's hot...... If you can save it, save it, and let's accumulate some yin virtue."
Amber used all her strength to open her eyes violently, and the turbid air that had been trapped in her chest was suddenly exhaled. Then she felt something in her throat and began to cough hard. Before she could see the person in front of her, she turned sideways and began to vomit, spitting out a large pile of mud and sand, which made her feel better.
"Girl, you're awake."
Amber had time to take a look at her current situation: she was lying in a dilapidated wooden house with a few holes in the roof and water on the floor. The cabin was dim, but an old lady could be seen sitting next to her. Not far from her, there was also a bed, on which lay an old man. The old man looked at him with a sideways face, but his mouth was crooked, and he seemed to be paralyzed.
Amber frowned, swallowed hard, and struggled to speak, "I...... Where?"
"This is Ten Mile Mountain," replied the old lady, "girl, how did you fall into the torrent?"
"Flash floods?" Amber recalled, and then remembered. At that time, the situation was urgent, she and Zhu Mingyu both fell, and Amber used her last bit of strength to push Zhu Mingyu up. Amber was a little glad that she didn't die.
Amber asked, "Old man, how long have I been unconscious?"
The old lady looked out the window at the sky: "I picked you up last night, and it's already afternoon, so I'll have to sleep for a day." How's your health, girl?"
"It hurts," Amber replied, "it hurts everywhere."
"It's good to know that it hurts, and it's okay. The little girl is in such good health, she looks thin and thin, and she has not died in the torrent, so she is so good."
Amber suddenly remembered something, and said, "You said this is Ten Mile Mountain...... Could it be that you are Lin Quan's senior?"
When the old lady heard the name Lin Quan, she was a little surprised. The old man lying on the bed suddenly became excited, his eyes became very urgent, and he babbled something with his mouth open.
The old lady asked, "How do you know the name?"
"I'm from the Asarashi Valley."
Hearing the three words Chao Langu, the old man's body squirmed more frequently. The old lady had moist eyes and wiped away a handful of tears.
"Girl," asked the old lady, "is the landlord all right?"
Knowing that it was her own person, Amber also became a little excited, and even seemed to forget the pain in her body.
"Good! The valley lord is good now! Grandpa Hou, Grandpa Hou, they are also very good!"
The old lady said, "That's good, that's good...... Do you hear me, old man?"
The old man on the bed nodded vigorously, and his old face was full of tears.
The old lady wiped her tears and said to Amber, "We thought we would never be able to wait for news from the landlord for the rest of our lives...... My wife is Lin Quan, hey, I had a stroke two months ago, I can't get out of bed, I can't speak."
Amber sat up vigorously and said eagerly, "You two elders hurry up and follow me, you are in danger!"
"Well," the old lady sighed, "how do you go?" My wife has a bad leg and can't walk a few steps. The old man never got out of bed after he was paralyzed. The mountain road was washed out last night. Girl, you're seriously injured and sick, and we won't be able to walk for a while."
So saying, he lay down on the amber again.
"Let's stay here first, you say we're in danger, and someone is trying to kill us. Don't be afraid, the mountain road is broken, we can't go down, and they can't come up. You take care of your body first...... Hey, it's not easy, for a while...... It's been almost nineteen years, right? It's finally here
news."
Amber still managed to sit up, and said, "All the people in the valley are living well, and they have not suffered."
The old lady smiled kindly and said, "That's good."
"We also bought a house in Luoyang for those scattered people to live in. Mother-in-law, didn't you hear from you?"
"I received a letter a few days ago, but unfortunately the old man couldn't speak, and my mother-in-law couldn't read and write, so I didn't know what I wrote. Don't talk about it, girl, sleep more, I'll go make you something to eat."
Speaking of eating, Amber was really hungry and had just vomited the last thing in her stomach.
The old woman's cooking skills are not very good, and the ingredients are not good, but fortunately, she can fill her stomach. Amber, who had eaten, regained some vitality and was at least able to get out of bed.
The place where Mr. and Mrs. Lin Quan live has three rooms, a bedroom, a warehouse, and a kitchen. Yesterday's heavy rain caused varying degrees of damage to all three rooms. Granny Lin's hands and feet are inconvenient and cannot be repaired. Once Amber has regained some strength, she volunteers to repair the house.
"Girl, slow down, don't fall." Granny Lin stood on the ground and looked up at the amber on the roof.
Amber smiled and said, "I'm fine, it's fine." That being said, Amber was still a little dizzy.
Standing on the rooftop, Amber surveyed the courtyard, where there was a large stove in the corner. There are also hammers, felts and other objects in the corners.
Amber asked, "Is Grandpa Lin a blacksmith?"
Granny Lin nodded: "When he was young, he always said that he was a swordsmith, but over the years, he has fought anything. There are some blades built over the years in the warehouse, I think you are in good hands, and you can pick one in there later.
The roof had already been repaired, and as soon as it was dark, Amber was very interested in the blade that Lin Quan had made, and jumped off the roof and ran into the warehouse.
Lin Quan's craftsmanship is good, he studied in Xuzhou back then, and the blades in his hands are all of the best quality. In the past, when Changfeng Tower was in the scenery, he almost took over the blades of the brothers in the building alone.
Amber is very interested in these blades, she knows everything, and she can play with any one in her hand. Amber faintly felt that this place was no longer safe, and Night Feather Xiaozhu knew the location of Lin Quan and his wife, and sooner or later he would find it, just which blade to defend himself.
rummaging through the warehouse, Amber suddenly spotted a handful in the corner...... Huge sword.
Crafted of black iron, nearly six feet long, almost as tall as Amber. It's about eight inches wide, and it's already up to Amber's waist. The blade of the sword was uneven, without a blade, and a dirty white cloth was just tied to the handle.
Amber asked, "Mother-in-law, who is this sword for?"
Granny Lin replied, "There used to be a child named Zhao Yuanyan in the building, who was born with infinite strength, and this sword should have been prepared for him. But...... Yuan Yan was mortally injured when he broke through that year, and he should have ...... Well, that's how the old man is, he believes that those children can turn evil into good fortune."
Amber gripped the hilt of her sword, trying to lift it up. But now her hands and feet are so weak that she can't hold them at all.
Granny Lin smiled and said, "Girl, be careful of hurting yourself, you shouldn't be too strong now."
didn't pick up the sword, but it made Amber sweat.
By evening, the sky had cleared and it didn't look like it would rain again for the next few days. Amber slept in the warehouse at night, and Granny Lin naturally did not agree. But there are only three rooms and two beds in total, and Granny Lin can't be allowed to sleep on the ground. Amber insisted on laying on the floor in the warehouse, but Granny Lin couldn't resist her, so she didn't say anything more
It was late at night, and Amber stared blankly at the ceiling.
"Miss, they...... You must be in a hurry now, right?"
Amber's clothes were dirty and torn, and her body was covered with abrasions, but fortunately, her muscles and bones were not injured, and she should be able to recover after a few days of rest. She raised her right hand, and then Moonlight looked at the bandage tied to her arm, feeling inexplicably irritable
How do I contact them?
Amber has the advantage that she gives up thinking when she doesn't know what to do.
For the next few days, Amber stayed with Lin Quan and his wife in peace
, help Granny Lin do some work, repair the house, tidy up the yard or something. Amber, who has never done much labor since she was a child, finds that she doesn't seem to be averse to doing housework. During this period, she went to see the mountain road, which was seriously damaged. Heavy rains have caused landslides, and what used to be a road has become a cliff. It seems that if you want to get out, you have to find another way.
