Chapter Ninety-Three: Saving People on the Road
Xiang Jiuling was very worried about going to Wenxi alone, so she accompanied her to see it, and hit it off with the boss. After that, he sold her charcoal in a unified manner, and people came to buy it every day.
Seeing that this boss is so bold, Xiang Jiuling is naturally happy, after all, the secrets of her space cannot be exposed, which can be regarded as the best result.
After the negotiation, Xiang Jiuling was in a good mood, even though the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, the steps back were very brisk.
"We have to go faster, otherwise it will be difficult to walk in the snow for a while!"
Seeing that Xiang Jiuling was so happy, Wen Xi's face unconsciously had a smile, and seeing that there were snowflakes piled up on the road, he couldn't help but urge.
"It's okay, it's still early anyway, this snow pad can't be up, it is estimated that there will be heavy snow at night!"
Seeing Xiang Jiuling was not worried about the slippery road back, Wen Xi could only sigh and follow her slowly.
The two of them left a series of footsteps on the freshly fallen snow one after the other, and although the weather was cold, their hearts were warm.
Seeing that they had already walked more than half the way, the sky had darkened, and a thin layer of fog had risen, which blocked people's vision, but it was okay for the two of them.
"Hey, is there something up ahead?"
Xiang Jiuling suddenly stopped, frowning and looking at a black shadow not far away, the fog was too big to see what it was.
Wen Xi followed Xiang Jiuling's line of sight when he heard this, and sure enough, he found that there was a dark shadow not far away, but it was obviously not trees and grass.
"You wait over there, I'll go over and take a look!"
Xiang Jiuling was naturally not at ease, and the two could only approach together.
The two cautiously approached, only to find that the black shadow was a carriage that was about to fall apart, and the horse had fallen off without a trace, only the carriage fell to the ground.
I don't know how long the carriage had been lying here, and all traces around it were covered in snow, and there was no clue.
The two looked at each other after inspecting the scene, and suddenly heard a light cough coming from the carriage.
This sound startled the two of them, Wen Xi approached the carriage under Xiang Jiuling's puzzled gaze, but there was no one in the curtain when he lifted the curtain, Wen Xi checked the bottom of the car again, and sure enough, he found that someone fell under the car, it looked like a man in his forties, obviously unconscious, and his leg was still pressed under the wheels of the car.
It's freezing cold, and I don't know how long this person has been frozen here.
Fortunately, Wen Xi had the strength to lift the wheels of the carriage, and Xiang Jiuling took the opportunity to pull the person out from under the car, and then probed among his people, and then briefly checked it.
"The man is still alive, he has a wound on his head, he may have been knocked unconscious, there is nothing wrong with his leg, but he will have to recuperate for a few days to recover."
Seeing that the snow is getting heavier and heavier, it is also a problem to leave people here like this.
"Let's bring people back first, it's freezing this day, if you don't care about him, I'm afraid he won't survive!"
Fortunately, Wen Xi had a lot of strength and carried the person almost effortlessly, but it was not easy to walk because of the snow on the road, and it was already dark when the two of them went home after this delay.
Qin Zhenzhen had already cooked the meal, and was waiting for Xiang Jiuling and Wen Xi to come back, and when he opened the door, he was startled to see Wen Xi carrying a strange man on his back.
"Sister Xiang, this ...... What's going on? ”
"Zhenzhen, don't be afraid, don't squeak, he's fine, he just fainted, we found him on the road and he fell to the ground before we rescued him, let's talk about it when he wakes up!"
Hearing this, Qin Zhenzhen didn't speak anymore, and beckoned the three children to the room on the other side.
Putting the person on the bed, Xiang Jiuling checked him carefully again, and once again confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the man's body, it should be that he was knocked unconscious, and he would talk about it when he wanted to come over.
Wen Xi stared at the man for a long time, frowned and said, "Look at the clothes on his body, they should be either rich or expensive, I'm afraid they are not ordinary people, and I don't know if it is good or bad to save him." ”
Their family came to the capital to wash away the grievances of the year, and it is better not to provoke inexplicable people if it is necessary, but they can't see death without help, and they only hope that this person will not affect them.
After all, Xiang Jiuling is not a real doctor, and there is a difference between men and women, and after discussing with Wen Xi, he called Dabao, who was studying with the doctor in the city, to show the man, and the final result was no different from what Xiang Jiuling obtained.
The family sat down to eat, Qin Zhenzhen asked about this person's situation, and Xiang Jiuling told what had happened.
Thinking back to the place where the man was found, although the carriage was damaged, it should have been good to see, and there were no other people, it was probably the man who was traveling on his own horse, but the road was snowy and slippery, and the car might have overturned.
When he was pondering the identity of the man, he suddenly heard the big treasure in the house shouting, "Mother, father, he's awake!" ”
Xiang Jiuling and Wen Xi glanced at each other, put down the bowl and entered the house.
The man had really woken up, and at the moment he was looking at Dabao with a painful face covering his wound and doubtingly, and when he saw Xiang Jiuling and a few people walking in, he couldn't help frowning, "Where is this?" You guys...... Who are you? ”
"Our family just escaped from the famine and came to the capital, and on the road outside the city, we found that you were overwhelmed by the carriage and unconscious, so we rescued you!"
The man touched his somewhat aching forehead and breathed a sigh of relief, as if recalling what happened before he fell unconscious, "I see, then thank you very much, by the way, I was the only one when you found me?" Have you seen my entourage? ”
"Retinue? Didn't see it, you were the only one crushed under the carriage at that time! ”
Xiang Jiuling and Wen Xi glanced at each other, although the two of them could see from this person's carriage and clothes that his identity was not simple, but it was more reflective with his entourage.
"That's really bothering you!"
The man smiled and nodded to Xiang Jiuling and the two, frowned and touched his legs, tried to move but found that the pain was terrible, so he could only give up and look up at them.
"Two, I'm sorry, I'm unable to move now, can I trouble you one more thing, help me go to Zhang's house in Qilu Lane in the city to deliver a message, and they will send someone to pick me up!"
The Zhang family in Qilu Lane, that is the largest grain merchant in the capital, is he the Zhang family?
Seeing the suspicion in the eyes of the two, the man suddenly laughed, "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I am not the Zhang family, I am the prefect of Lin Jincheng, this time I made an appointment with the master of the Zhang family to get food, I didn't expect to go too fast and there was an accident on the road, and thanks to meeting you, otherwise...... I'm afraid I'm going to die! ”
Lin Jincheng is a small town around the capital, Xiang Jiuling and they didn't pass by there, but they also knew the name of the city, and they didn't expect that the man was actually the prefect of Lin Jincheng.
"Okay, I'll go to Zhang's house early tomorrow morning to deliver a letter, and you can rest here today!"
