Chapter 3: A Spring Rainy Night

The three women were so frightened by the large group of strangers in front of them that they burst into tears, and when the evil Shen Qingyang entered the courtyard with a black face, these people didn't even dare to cry.

Xiao Yan ran to the plum house panting, and heard an old woman crying.

said that Mei Xue had saved her family's life, and this time they were invited to come late at night, just to help take care of the house, and did not know anything else.

Seeing that Shen Qingyang still had a black face, the old woman turned to look at Xiao Yan and kept kowtowing and begging.

Shen Qingyang was in a hurry, turned his face to look at Xiao Yan, who was still panting unevenly, and asked:

"That's what you sent people to guard?"

Xiao Yan's face turned red and he couldn't speak, Shen Qingyang snorted coldly, strode out of the courtyard and instructed his entourage:

"There are four routes, two to the south, and the other two follow me to Chengdu, and the water and land routes are separated."

Xiao Yan bent down to hold his knees and panted, and asked Shen Qingyang loudly:

"Shen Qingyang, are you stupid? How could Miss Mei run to Chengdu? ”

Shen Qingyang sneered, and said to Xiao Yan with disdain:

"In front of you, she is a fox, she sold you and you still helped her count the money."

A group of people disappeared in an instant, leaving only Xiao Yan and a few subordinates standing at the door of Mei's house.

The boat was on the water, and it was drizzling.

Mei Xue was dressed in green clothes and sat by the small window with her child in her arms.

A small boat secretly hired, there was only an old captain, in order to go faster, Yurong and Mama Zhang took turns to go out to help the captain.

Near noon, Yurong lifted the curtain and entered the cabin, and didn't care about wiping the rain from her hair and face, so she hurriedly lifted the stove to cook in the back.

First warmed the goat's milk for the child and brought it in, Mei Xue tested the temperature, and fed it to Ping'an's mouth little by little with a small spoon.

Ping An slept soundly in Mei Xue's arms, but as soon as the spoon touched his lips, he immediately opened his small mouth.

Seeing the sweetness of Ping'an's food, Yurong's face had a smile, and then he was a little worried:

"Girl, you said that this goat's milk needs to be fresh, so what about Ping An tomorrow?"

In order to leave safely, except for a little silver, their master and servant left Taiping Town almost empty-handed.

I didn't dare to bring it when I was originally packed up.

The water bladder for installing goat's milk for Ping was still hidden in Mama Zhang's arms and taken away.

Mei Xue patiently waited for Ping An to suck the goat's milk in the spoon clean, and then looked up and said to Yurong:

"Don't worry, we will be able to get to Fucheng early tomorrow morning, and when we arrive, we will get off the boat to buy fresh milk for the child, and we will find an inconspicuous place to live for a few days, and then go back and take a boat to Zhejiang."

Since there is nowhere to go, let's go to Qiantang.

After all, it is the hometown of Dad and Mom, and it is also Mrs. Mei's maiden home.

Yurong didn't ask Mei Xue why she did this, although the girl was young, she had always had an idea.

Two bowls of vegetarian dishes, one pot of porridge. Mei Xue asked Mama Zhang to give a portion to the captain, and the three of them sat down and began to eat.

In the afternoon, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the boats were so thin that by the evening they could no longer sail.

The captain finally found a place to stop the boat, and Mei Xue walked to the deck in her cloak, and saw a big ship speeding behind her in the distance.

The deck of the big ship was brightly lit, and the black pressure was full of people, Mei Xue sighed and closed her eyes.

After telling Mama Zhang and Yurong not to leave the cabin with the child, Mei Xue returned to the deck and watched the big ship getting closer and closer alone, her face still showing calm indifference.

Through the rain and fog, Xiao Yan had already recognized Mei Xue on the deck, and hurriedly pulled Shen Qingyang's sleeve and said:

"Shen Qingyang, let me tell you, Mei Xue is by no means a person who can be threatened, if you stay here, I will go and talk to her."

Shen Qingyang sneered, shook Xiao Yan off, and then took off into the air.

The tall man landed on the deck, and the boat shook violently.

Frightened, Ping An cried in the cabin.

Mei Xue didn't look at Shen Qingyang, the heavy rain was pouring down, and her clothes couldn't cover it at all, she reached out and stroked the rain on her forehead and said:

"The notices for seeking medical treatment in the Shu Wangfu are all over the state capitals, and I have heard of them.

I have already told Xiao Gongzi that there is no cure for tuberculosis, and death is a matter of time, even if you tie me up to Chengdu, it will be useless. ”

Shen Qingyang snorted, stared at Mei Xue with sharp eyes and said:

"Whether you can be healed or not, you must go to the palace, because I know so much more than you think.

I don't care if your surname is Mei or Qiao, but there is one thing I can tell you, and it will be regarded as a reward for inviting you to Chengdu. ”

Mei Xue frowned, and turned her head coldly to look at Shen Qingyang:

"Are you threatening me?"

Shen Qingyang sneered, stared at the thin but cold-covered woman in front of him and said:

"Ten years ago, the Qiantang Mei family was exterminated by the Japanese invaders, and the Qiantang general at that time was called Tie Lanxiang, who was the old department of Yan Yuncai, the in-law of the Qiao family.

In the second year of the Mei family's extermination, Yan Yuncai's youngest son married a concubine of Tie Lanxiang, which was not a good match. ”

The rain was loud, but the deck was as silent as if it were frozen.

Mei Xue was unmoved, and said lightly after a long time:

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Shen Qingyang laughed out loud, the woman in the night rain was as cold as a piece of ice, only a pair of dark eyes flashed, he slowly approached, stared at her crystal eyes and said:

"You're really hard-hearted, since dead people can't move you, then I'll tell you something about the living."

Mei Xue took two steps back, widening the distance between her and Shen Qingyang, her feet already standing on the edge of the deck.

"Qiao Mei's nurse, because she lost the eldest girl of the Qiao family, was thrown in the Zhuangzi with her legs broken.

According to the latest news I have received, this nurse is still alive, but life is worse than death. You say, is she waiting for someone after so many years? ”

Mei Xue's body shook and fell uncontrollably into the water.

Shen Qingyang flew forward, grabbed Mei Xue's arm and dragged her back.

Mei Xue shook off Shen Qingyang's hand vigorously, and the water under her eyes flashed, but her voice was still indifferent:

"I can go to Chengdu, but I can't guarantee that I can cure that son's illness. Also, in addition to these two messages, I need you to do something else to exchange with me. ”

Shen Qingyang's eyes finally had a little smile, and he looked at Mei Xue with some satisfaction and said:

"As long as you are willing to go to Chengdu, I can fly the pigeon and arrange for someone to take the old lady away from Qiao Yan's Zhuangzi.

In the capital territory, I think it's easy to hide yourself.

As for the future, we can negotiate later. ”

Mei Xue didn't speak, just nodded and walked to the cabin.

She can listen to her mother's words, stay away from the capital, stay away from those past events and old people, and even force herself to forget all the blood feuds.

But as the person in front of her said, she couldn't ignore the people who were still alive.

Father and mother, as well as brothers and sisters, they are Mama Mei's only relatives in this world, but they are no longer there.

She owes Mama Mei so much.

Mama Zhang hugged Ping'an, and hid in the cabin with Yurong in panic.

The old captain trembled with fright, and curled up in the stern of the boat, not daring to move.

Mei Xue reassured Yurong and Mama Zhang not to panic, touched Ping'an's forehead and little hands again, and said:

"That prince of the Shu Mansion is seriously ill, and they won't allow me to go slowly by boat. But Ping An is weak and must not be bumpy. ”

As she spoke, Mei Xue looked back outside.

The big boat had already approached, some people were holding lanterns, some people had built partitions, and the young man named Xiao Yan jumped into the boat of Mei Xue's master and servant with a shout.

Mei Xue turned around and told Mama Zhang:

"Mama, I will ask them to send you to Chengdu by big boat, and I will write a few more prescriptions for you, once you get sick again on the safe road, you will take care of him according to the prescription, if it still doesn't work, you will find a doctor to treat him along the way."

Mama Zhang nodded with tears in her eyes, and Yurong cried, so she had to accompany Mei Xue to hurry.

Mei Xue smiled bitterly, touched Yurong's hair and said:

"There's no time, you remember to listen to Mama's words and take good care of peace."

The heavy rain connected the heavens and the earth into a muddy piece, and Mei Xue's master and servant moved to the big ship, and Xiao Yan was busy diligently, as if he had completely forgotten that Mei Xue had just deceived him.

Shen Qingyang stood in the rain with his arms crossed, looked at Xiao Yan and Mei Xue's master and servant coldly, and didn't say a word more.
