The night was deep, the cold wind was like a knife, and the wilderness was silent.

In the cold night of spring, the long night is deep, and the cold dew is getting heavier.

The three of them walked out of the banyan tree pharmacy, and a bleak cold mountain wind blew in their faces, blowing on their faces like knives, making the three of them shudder.

Leng Yue suddenly stopped, looking up at the few stars in the sky, her eyes were far away and hazy, flashing with excitement.

She stared at the horizon with hope. Liu Ruyan looked at her, and a smile appeared in her eyes, seeing that she was looking into the distance in a daze, as if she had something unspeakable, so she asked softly: "Miss Leng Yue, what's wrong with you? What are you looking at?"

Leng Yue didn't seem to hear his question, and still looked at the distant horizon fixedly.

Liu Ruyan saw that she suddenly had such a look, and her heart suddenly felt strange, and she didn't know what she was looking at, so she followed her gaze.

At this time, Leng Yue actually muttered to herself: "Xingxing, you tell me, where is my Uncle Ma? Why did he leave without saying a word? Xingxing, you must bless Uncle Ma with peace and security, if you see Uncle Ma, just give him a word for Yue'er! Tell him that Yue'er misses him so much, and I really want him to come back early!" She suddenly became sad, her eyes were moist, and crystal tears flashed, almost wanting to burst out of her eyes.

Liu Ruyan was puzzled, listening to her words like this, only to understand that she was thinking of Uncle Ma who treated her like her own daughter. No wonder she looked so strange.

Liu Ruyan couldn't help but sigh lightly, and was about to think about how to comfort her, but she said: "When I was young, my father and mother were often not at home, only Uncle Ma was by my side, playing hide and seek with me, and telling me many wonderful stories to make me happy, Brother Liu, do you know, I was really happy to have Uncle Ma with me in those days, and now, Uncle Ma doesn't know where he went, and I don't know when he will come back?"

She spoke faintly, and the sparkle in her eyes suddenly dimmed, and the sadness on her face became even worse.

She turned her head to look at Liu Ruyan calmly, and smiled faintly, revealing endless grief and loneliness.

Liu Ruyan stared at the pitiful cold moon in the night, and suddenly his heart moved, at this moment, he suddenly found that the cold moon was really beautiful. And the face reflected in the firelight looked so hesitant and sad, and it was distressing to look at.

He stood there stunned, his face solemn, not knowing how to comfort her.

After a while, he said slowly: "Miss Leng Yue, don't be too sad, the reason why Steward Ma chose to leave in this way is because he has his thoughts. Maybe he just doesn't want you to worry! Don't worry, he might be back soon!"

Listening to what she said just now, it is enough to see that she and Ma Xiaoyun have a deep relationship, which is extraordinary. But what he didn't expect was that the eldest lady in front of him was actually such a loving person! And she looked calm as water on the surface, but her heart was as hot as a burning flame.

Another gust of mountain wind blew, and the trees by the roadside gently swayed with the night wind, making a rattling sound. On the mountain road at night, the surroundings are quiet, so quiet that you can almost hear each other's breathing.

Liu Ruyan suddenly took off the robe on her body and gently draped it on Leng Yue's body.

She was already infected with the wind cold, and she occasionally let out a cough or two when she stood there, and he was worried that Leng Yue's body would be weak, and if she was attacked by the cold again, then her illness would be even more difficult to heal.

Liu Ruyan picked up her shirt and gently touched Leng Yue's fragrant shoulder, and her body suddenly trembled instinctively. She couldn't help but feel a heat on her face, and a touch of red glow flew on the ground.

She then turned around in a panic, and her heart couldn't help but "pound". In the face of Liu Ruyan's sudden act of care, she actually showed the surprise and shyness of a girl.

It was the first time she felt the fervent care of a big brother who was about her age. In addition to being shy, nervous and flustered, there is also a strange feeling that even she can't figure out!

At this moment, she had turned her head away, and she did not dare to look him in the eye.

Liu Ruyan paused and said with concern: "It's cold at night, be careful of catching a cold!"

Leng Yue was a little flattered, and replied softly: "Mmmm, thank you Brother Liu for your concern!"

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan wondered again, and asked curtly: "Miss Lengyue, what's wrong with you, is there something on your mind?"

Leng Yue replied in a little panic: "No, it's nothing, I'm fine!"

Liu Ruyan smiled faintly and comforted: "Don't be afraid, Doctor Fang Cai has already applied a silver needle to activate your blood and dredge the blood veins all over your body, you can rest assured, your illness will get better soon." ”

Leng Yue smiled sadly and said faintly: "I have been weak and sickly since I was a child. When I was a child, every time I was sick, my mother would tell Uncle Ma to go down the mountain to get medicine for me. Once, when I was very ill, Uncle Ma went to the mountains to look for herbs for me, and met a vicious tiger in the mountains, and almost died in the tiger's mouth. When the tiger was about to catch up with him, he struggled to climb to a big tree, and stayed in the tree for a day and a night, before he escaped from the tiger's mouth and escaped by chance. Another time, he was also looking for medicinal herbs for me, and he didn't want a sudden rainstorm in the mountains, and he was drenched all over, and when he came back, he was drenched in the rain and contracted dysentery, vomited and diarrhea, and became seriously ill! Uncle Ma was really good to me! Even better than my father and mother were to me!" She said as she spoke, her voice choked, and she slowly lowered her head, covering her face with her hands, looking extremely painful.

Liu Ruyan sighed, wanting to comfort her, but just stretched out his hand but retracted it, he really didn't know how to comfort her.

Leng Yue grew up on Mingyue Peak since she was a child, although her father Xu Feng is a generation of heroes who are famous in the rivers and lakes, and his status and reputation in the rivers and lakes are very high, and he has always been respected.

Later, Xu Feng washed his hands and retired to the rivers and lakes, and with the assistance of Ma Xiaoyun, he established the Hongqin Residence on Mingyue Peak.

Leng Yue is the only daughter under Xu Feng's knees, and she has lived a life of fine clothes and food since she was a child. Although she has a rich life, she has few friends around her, and the only area she can play is a small world in the butterfly garden in the back mountain.

Although she lived a carefree and free life, she did not feel happy at all! and her father and mother were busy with Hongqinju and the rivers and lakes all day long, and rarely found time to spend with her. And the one who can really accompany her often is Ma Xiaoyun, the chief manager of Hongqinju. Therefore, she has been very close to Ma Xiaoyun since she was a child and is very dependent on him.

Now, Ma Xiaoyun suddenly said goodbye, her heart seemed to be emptied all of a sudden, empty, I don't know what it was like, she only hoped that Uncle Ma could come back safely as soon as possible!

Tonight, seeing the few stars twinkling in the sky, she suddenly remembered that Uncle Ma had been kind to her, and she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart.

The family Ding stood aside with a torch in his hand, watching the two talk in a daze, and wanted to speak several times, beckoning them to go back, but seeing that the two were talking, he couldn't bear to interrupt them, and when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them alive.

The red flames were blown by the mountain wind, and the sparks drifted in the wind, adding a bit of loneliness and loneliness to the dark and silent mountains.

Liu Ruyan turned his head to look at the family behind him, and his face was red by the firelight, showing a little anxiety.

The family stood there quietly for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Liu Shaoxia, eldest lady, it's not too early, we should go back, otherwise, the lord and the lady will have to wait in a hurry!"

Liu Ruyan smiled at him, nodded and said, "Miss Lengyue, it's getting late now, let's go back quickly! Everyone is waiting for us!"

Leng Yue turned around slowly, a nervous look flashed across her face, smiled faintly at Liu Ruyan, nodded and said, "Well, let's go, let's go back!" She suddenly found that Liu Ruyan was thin, thinking that he took off his clothes and put them on for himself, her heart suddenly became hot, and she felt a burst of gratitude to him, but also mixed with a hint of shyness and emotion.

She finally mustered up the courage to look up at him, and said with concern, "Brother Liu, are you cold?" as she spoke, her eyes blinking, staring at him fixedly.

Liu Ruyan was asked by her coldly, but she looked cramped, smiled faintly at her, and said, "No, I'm not cold, I'm not cold at all," he frowned: "Don't worry, my body is very strong, and I won't catch a cold." Let's go!"

After that, he walked to the white horse, untied the reins of the horse on the trunk, led the horse over, helped Leng Yue onto the back of the horse and sat firmly, kicked the saddle himself, turned over and stepped on the horse's back, and turned to the family and said, "Big brother, please light the way in front!"

The man nodded, answered, and then took the reins of the horse, stepped on the saddle, and turned over on the horse.

Liu Ruyan sat behind Leng Yue and said softly, "Leng Yue girl, can you sit tight?"

Leng Yue still looked a little restrained, smiled, and said, "Well, Brother Liu, let's go!"

The two of them pulled the reins, shouted, and galloped their horses.

The two horsemen and three men ran unhurriedly on the official road, and the crisp sound of horses' hooves was unusually loud in the silent mountains.

The torches snorted in the rapid rush, and the red light of the fire moved rapidly on the official road, adding a touch of warmth to the bleak night.

Leng Yue leaned on Liu Ruyan's arms, from the initial nervousness and awkwardness, she gradually relaxed, and she even felt a warmth and steadfastness that she had never felt before. But the night was deep, and a deep tiredness came over her, and before she knew it, her eyelids became a little heavy, and her eyes drooped, as if she was about to fall asleep.

Liu Ruyan pulled the horse's reins tightly and loosely, and the horse ran even faster. However, the tea kung fu had already run for almost two miles, and the dark shadows of the trees on the side of the road flashed quickly, and the mountain wind blew coldly on his face, which made him shiver.

Leng Yue's long hair was blown up by the mountain wind, flying messily in the air, and the strands of hair brushed on Liu Ruyan's face, covering his eyes, and then drifting away on his face, making him feel a burst of itching. He only felt a faint fragrance coming to his nose, almost intoxicating him!

In a short time, the two horsemen and horses have galloped out of three miles away, and the front is still brightly lit, and the brightly lit place not far away is the Yuelai Inn.

The family shouted in front: "Liu Shaoxia, the front is the Yuelai Inn." ”

Liu Ruyan also shouted at him, beating the horse even faster. In a moment, the group had come to the gate of the Yuelai Inn.

As soon as the two of them pulled the reins and shouted, the horse had stopped.

Liu Ruyan whispered in Leng Yue's ear: "Leng Yue girl, wake up, look, we have arrived at the inn! Everyone must be waiting for us!"

Leng Yue opened her eyes in a daze and muttered, "Ah, Brother Liu, have we all arrived?"

Liu Ruyan said with a smile: "Mmmm, it's time to arrive, let's go in!"

The three of them got off the horse, and at this time, a cousin who was busy in the lobby heard movement inside and outside, and hurriedly looked up, and saw someone standing at the door, so he quickly put down his work and hurried out.

As soon as they got closer, they looked closely, and only then did they recognize them as the same cousins who had gone out on horseback earlier.

He smiled all over his face and greeted warmly: "Three guest officers, you are finally back, and the guest officers with you waited for a while, and when they saw that you had not come back for a long time, they went upstairs!

As he spoke, he reached out and took the reins from Liu Ruyan's hand, turned back and shouted inside, asking another person to come over and help lead the horse.

When he was young, a cousin who ran out quickly nodded to the three of them, and then took the reins from the hand, and the two led the horse slowly towards the stable in the backyard.

Liu Ruyan slowly walked into the lobby with Leng Yue in her arms, and the family Ding followed behind.

As they arrived in the hall, a short and stocky middle-aged man greeted them from the counter and greeted them with a grin, "Can the three guest officers have some supper?"

Liu Ruyan said to Leng Yue: "Miss Leng Yue, you haven't had dinner before, you must be a little hungry, right?"

Leng Yue paused, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Liu, I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat anything, I want to go upstairs to rest!"

The Ding opened his mouth and said, "Miss, you haven't eaten anything, you will definitely feel hungry in the middle of the night, so let's eat a little first!"

Leng Yue waved her hand, looking a little sleepy, her face didn't look as pale as before, but the whole person still looked extremely weak.

She said lightly: "No, I really don't want to eat anything!" turned her head and smiled at Liu Ruyan: "Brother Liu, I want to go up and rest, you are also tired today, rest early!"

Liu Ruyan smiled and nodded. was about to walk towards the stairs, but heard Shangguan Hongqin's voice: "Yue'er, you can be regarded as back, how about it, do you see Lang Zhong?" She stood in the corridor on the second floor, looking at the three people downstairs very anxiously.

Leng Yue heard that it was her mother's voice, she suddenly raised her head, looked at her mother excitedly, and said with a smile: "Mother, I'm back, don't worry! I'm fine!"

At this time, Xu Feng also came out of the room and stood beside Shangguan Hongqin, looking at Leng Yue eagerly.

He smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay! I'll just say, our Yue'er is just infected with the cold, and it won't be a big problem." ”

With that, he slowly walked downstairs with Shangguan Hongqin.

Liu Ruyan hugged Leng Yue and greeted him again, Xu Feng hugged his fist at Liu Ruyan, and said with a smile: "Nephew Liu Xian, thanks to you today, I have tired you! It's not too early, please go upstairs and rest!"

Liu Ruyan also hugged his fist at Xu Feng and smiled: "Uncle Xu, you are serious, don't say that, these are what the little nephew should do!

Xu Feng turned his head and beckoned the family to go upstairs to rest. The Ding family bowed to Xu Feng, bowed his head and hugged his fists, and turned to go upstairs.

Shangguan Hongqin looked at Leng Yue with a loving face, and said quietly: "Yue'er, what did Lang Zhong say? What kind of disease are you suffering from? Have you been caught and taken medicine?"

Leng Yue nodded and said with a smile: "The doctor said, I just contracted the wind cold, my body is a little weak, and I have walked a long way today, I am too tired, oh, the doctor also saw that I have internal injuries that have not fully recovered! ”

Shangguan Hongqin was shocked in her heart, and said anxiously: "Master, listen, I have long thought that Yue'er's internal injuries have not completely healed, so her body is so weak! Alas, we have to go so far, how can she stand it?"

Xu Feng sighed and said in a deep voice: "Madam, don't worry too much, Luoxia Niangniang has used seven points of internal strength to heal Leng Yue's injuries earlier, with Luoxia Niangniang's pure internal strength, within three days, Yue'er's internal injuries will be fine, she is just a little weak, and she will suddenly become ill if she is accidentally infected with wind and cold, the doctor has already diagnosed and treated, presumably she will get better soon, you can rest assured!"

Liu Ruyan looked at Xu Feng, thought about it and said: "Uncle, uncle, don't worry, the doctor has already applied acupuncture to the cold moon girl, the doctor said that the cold moon girl is not only cold and cold, but also depressed and weak, and the blood is not smooth, he has dredged the meridians for the cold moon girl, grabbed a few pills, and said that as long as you take the medicine on time, you can be cured in two days." ”

Xu Feng listened, nodded slowly, and after comforting the mother and daughter, he asked Liu Ruyan to rest earlier.

The couple took Leng Yue up the stairs and walked towards Menghua's room, arranging for Leng Yue and Menghua sisters to live in a room tonight. Liu Ruyan said goodnight to the three of them, and walked straight into his room.

The three of them came to Menghua's guest room, Shangguan Hongqin reached out and knocked lightly on the door, Menghua had not fallen asleep yet, and when she heard the knock on the door, she knew that Leng Yue was back, so she quickly turned over from the bed and sat up, got out of bed in response to the sound, and walked over to open the door.

Seeing that there were three people standing outside the door, Uncle and Leng Yue, she immediately smiled and said, "Sister, are you really back?

Her eyes lit up, and she looked at Leng Yue expectantly, hoping that what she brought back was good news. They have a deep sisterhood, and of course she hopes that Leng Yue will not be in any big trouble.

Although before, she saw Liu Ruyan's many concerns about Leng Yue several times, which made her feel a little unhappy in her heart, for fear that Leng Yue would have snatched away the love that should have belonged to her, but when she saw Leng Yue sick and uncomfortable, she seemed to empathize with Leng Yue in her heart, and it was not a taste, and she felt a little pity for Leng Yue.

Leng Yue smiled at her: "Good sister, don't worry, I'm fine." The doctor said I had a cold and would get better soon. ”

Menghua heard her say this, sighed softly, and the stone hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground. She said excitedly: "It's okay if my sister is fine, I know that my sister will be fine." ”

Xu Feng and Shangguan Hongqin looked at the sisters with great emotion, and felt very comforted in their hearts, and couldn't help but smile at each other.

Shangguan Hongqin said with a smile: "Okay, it's not too early, you guys hurry up and go to sleep, you have to hurry tomorrow morning!"

Several people said goodnight to each other and went back to their rooms to sleep.
