Distress (IV)

When Pinyue woke up again, the sun had already risen overhead.

Looking up at the sky, it was about ten o'clock. When she found herself still in the woods, she sighed weakly and turned her head to look at Jinyu on the side.

His eyes were still closed motionless, his face was pale, and he did not know whether he was asleep or still unconscious.

"Hey, are you awake?" she poked him lightly, but didn't get the slightest response.

"Ohmygod!" she wailed in despair, really not knowing what to do.

He's been in a coma, and she can't catch the car, so could it be that they want to stay here like this and wait for a miracle to happen?

After waiting for a full hour, Pinyue didn't think of a solution, and Jinyu's situation was so bad that she couldn't hesitate any longer.

Because, when she wanted to wake him up for the Nth time, she found that he was actually having a fever!

It's all the damn rain to blame!

Sighing again that she had been unlucky, she jumped out of the carriage, reached out and took hold of the reins of the horse, and slowly walked out of the woods.

On the side of the road, there were still dead people lying on the ground.

The clearer you can see after dawn, the more frightening it is.

There were bloody corpses everywhere, and occasionally severed limbs could be seen......

Maybe it's because of the rain, and the land has turned dark red, which makes people feel disgusting when they look at it!

She shuddered, picked up her horse and walked away from the place of right and wrong.

"Fortunately, I often go out to work, and I run around every day to practice the iron footboard, otherwise who will drive you to find someone to save your life? You count me unlucky, alas~" She muttered to herself as she walked.

There was not even a wild cat on the cold official road except for them.

"It's strange, I also walked this road a few days ago, I feel that people come and go quite lively, why is it so quiet today?" Pin Yue said as she led the horse forward.

After most of the day, she didn't even see anyone, she was an evil door!

The sun was high in the sky, and she hadn't found a place to live.

Squatting down to a stream and washing her face and drinking some water, she looked up at the hot sun, and was so depressed that she hated to hit the wall.

It was as if the weather was deliberately trying to go against her.

Last night, when it was going to rain, it didn't rain, so it didn't go down; what about today? She had to go to Shuocheng, and how much she hated her when the damn weather was so sunny? How much did she hate her? No wonder so many people had to call it unreasonable after they were in trouble, it was really unreasonable!

Pin Yue was shouting in her heart, but she found something even worse!

Because after walking for a while, there was a fork in the road in front of her: one to the left and one to the right. The angle between the two intersections is almost 60 degrees, so once you go wrong, it is estimated that there will be a difference of 108,000 miles, right?

I had no choice but to rely on my instincts! However, it seems that she has grown so big, and her intuition may have passed!

She froze, hesitated for three seconds, and then pulled the carriage down the road to the left.

Although she was intuitive, she was not stupid, and she knew how to use what she had learned! In contrast, the one on the left seemed to be flatter and the soil was harder.

You must know that Shuocheng is the capital of Nanzhao Kingdom, and there must be a lot of people coming and going every day, so she decided that the one on the left is the right way to Shuocheng.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she stared ahead excitedly, glad she had chosen the right path.

It's not that the road is sure that it leads to Shuocheng, but that a small harmonious village has emerged not far away.

Pin Yue suddenly came to her senses, led the horse and walked quickly, and stopped in front of the first house at the entrance of the village.

"Is anyone there?" she carefully pushed open the wooden door of the house.

"Who?" said an old woman in her fifties and sixties.

I saw that she was wearing coarse cloth clothes, her body was rickety, her hair was gray, her eyes were squinting unconsciously, and she was still holding a cane in her hand.

"Mother-in-law, I'm here to spend the night. She was afraid of the other party's ears, so she replied loudly, "We are going to Shuocheng to visit relatives, we met bandits on the way, my brother was cut by them, and now he is burning badly, can you make it convenient for us to stay for a few days, and wait for my brother to recover from his injuries before leaving?"

"This ......," the mother-in-law looked like she wanted to refuse.

"Mother-in-law, you are good, I can give you money, please!" Pin Yue begged in a low voice, clasping her hands together, and smiling again.

"Old woman, who's coming?" came out of the house another old man who was about the same age as the old woman.

The mother-in-law told her husband of Pinyue's intentions, and the two old men discussed it for a while, but finally they couldn't bear her request and agreed to let them stay for a few days.

Pin Yue happily pulled the carriage into the courtyard of the old man's house, and with the help of the two old men, carried Jinyu to the bed in the house.

The poor family had only two rooms, and it was with great difficulty that one room was vacated for them to live in.

Pin Yue cleaned up the house while looking at the furnishings here.

In fact, there is nothing to see, the house is a thatched house, the house faces south, and when you enter the door, you will see a square table and two small wooden chairs, and some daily necessities are hung on the west wall, there is a window on the north wall, and then there is the bed on the east wall......

Nothing but that!

"Girl, help your brother clean his wounds. I went to the pharmacy and grabbed some medicine to dispel wind and cold, and by the way, I asked for some Jinchuang medicine powder, and put it on your brother to make him feel better faster. The old woman walked in with a basin of warm water, and as she spoke, she took out a packet of silver-gray powder from her chest.

"Thank you, mother-in-law, take this first, and I'll send you the silver when we get home!" she put a warm and transparent jade pendant into the old woman's hand.

"No, no! this can't be done, it can't be helped!" the old woman waved her hands straight.

She had never seen anything so good in her life.

"Then I'll leave it with you, and when we send the money, you can return it to us! You can take it!" she insisted on giving the jade pendant to the old woman, so she was very serious.

The old woman saw that she was resolute, and she didn't want to shirk anymore, and after accepting it, she didn't dare to slack off at all, and took care of them with all her heart.
