Chapter 49: What is Love (1)
The wind still howled across the land, but not a single leaf could be rolled up, and the leaves were covered under the snow, which was still freezing in the bone-chilling night.
The pain of the cold iron spear piercing her throat that Ma Munan was waiting for had not yet arrived, and after she closed her eyes, she felt that the whole world was quiet, and the sound of knives, wind, scolding, and horses' hooves all disappeared into this world the moment she closed her eyes.
After a few stabbing and stabbing torches extinguishing in the snow nest, Ma Munan slowly opened his eyes, the last few torches flashed faintly in the snow, and the people who were supposed to hold those torches were all frozen on the ground.
Ma Munan's shock at the scene in front of her was even stronger than that she was stabbed by the iron spear, and when she slowly turned around, she saw Tie Lang looking at her with a torch in his hand. Tie Lang's face stained with a little snow flickered in the firelight, Ma Munan ran over in surprise, hugged Tie Lang tightly with his arms and said: "Just now, I thought I would die, I thought you would die too"
Tie Lang was a little embarrassed at first, but thinking about the scene he saw when he came out of the snow nest, he also felt that Ma Munan had experienced the despair of Shicai, and in the face of the current surprise, it was not too much to do anything. Tie Lang looked at a few drops of blood on Ma Munan's raised face, and gently wiped her off with the little residual snow left in his hand.
Ma Munan looked at Tie Lang in amazement, and then realized that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly retreated and bowed his head for a while before saying, "Brother Tie, why did you suddenly wake up again?"
Tie Lang thought for a long time and didn't understand why he woke up, so he said: "I don't know how I woke up, but when I pushed the snow away, I saw that they were besieging you, so I killed them with a snow ball."
Ma Munan was shocked and said: "Tie, Brother Tie, can that snow also kill people?"
Tie Lang was about to say more, and vaguely heard a voice in the distance, so he said: "This place is not suitable for a long time, let's leave here immediately, fortunately, there are a few horses to use"
The two turned over and got on the horse, and did not go to the official road, but just touched and ran in the direction of the old dragon pond, the wind that blew in the middle of the night gradually went out, and the snowflakes poured down all over the sky, fortunately, they ran until dawn, and did not encounter any interception, and the poison of the iron wave did not attack again.
The two of them summed it up, and felt that it should be very far away from the quiet border village, and it would be worth the loss if the horse was injured by a deep and shallow foot, so they found a way to go up immediately.
The horse galloped for three or four hours and was tired, so he kicked and walked in small steps on this path, and walked more than ten miles to have a few families, the two of them got off the horse and patted the door to ask for hot water to drink, and by the way inquired about the road, the Zhuang family said that this place is called Red Earth Bay, and then go more than ten miles is Yuanzhou, and then inquire about the old Longtan, the Zhuang family does not know.
Ma Mu Nan muttered in his heart, listening to the second senior brother say that the old Longtan of Liupan Mountain is in the south of Jingzhou, but now this Yuanzhou is in the north of Jingzhou, and the end is wrong in the direction, and it is said to Tie Lang, and Tie Lang can't help but be annoyed when he hears it.
Tie Lang saw that the villagers were looking at the golden-backed broadsword behind Ma Munan with a face full of fear, so he didn't stay for long, and after thanking them, he and Ma Munan plunged into the heavy snow.
When he got out, Tie Lang said, "You drank his hot water, are you unwell?"
Ma Munan was taken aback by Tie Lang's question, and after careful examination, he didn't feel anything and said, "I'm fine, what's wrong with you?"
Tie Lang said: "I felt cold when I drank hot water at his house, but now it is much more comfortable, I don't think there is anything wrong with that water."
Ma Munan listened to Tie Lang's words, and he was a little stiff and chuckled: "Could it be that you are cold when you drink hot water, and you will only be fine when you are cold?"
The speaker has no intention of listening, Ma Munan was joking, but Tie Lang suddenly opened the hot water bladder on his waist, untied his mouth and leaned in front of his mouth and nose to smell the hot air, and sure enough, after a while, Tie Lang's mouth and nose that had just returned to normal slowly became cold again.
Tie Lang was terrified in his heart, before he thought that the poison in himself was still gone, but now he saw that he was just lucky, the two poisonous hairs were buried in the snow nest by Ma Munan, and this snow nest seemed to be able to prevent the poison from attacking. And not long after he came out of the snow nest for the second time, the sky was covered with goose feathers, so he could walk here from Jingbian Village, otherwise he would have been poisoned.
Thinking of this, Tie Lang put away the water bladder, picked up a ball of snow from the roadside tree, and hid it in his mouth and nose, and sure enough, the cold feeling in his mouth and nose immediately slowly faded and disappeared little by little.
Ma Munan heard Tie Lang tell him about this poison, and couldn't help but wonder: "There is such a strange poison in the world?" suddenly remembered that there was a pursuing sergeant at that time who mentioned what kind of ice silkworm poison it was, so he realized: "Yes, I heard someone say that I was poisoned by ice silkworms in the snow cave last night, this poison is so strange, I just don't know how to solve it?"
Tie Lang thought to himself, if he hadn't been buried in a snow cave yesterday, and there was a heavy snow today, he was afraid that he would have been poisoned, but he didn't know what the result of this poison was, could it be that he would be unconscious? If so, he wouldn't have died, thinking of this, Tie Lang looked at the sky.
When he saw it, Ma Munan had already understood Tie Lang's thoughts, and said in his heart, isn't it, if the snow stops, won't Brother Tie be unconscious again, and he doesn't know the personnel, so he can't help frowning secretly.
Ma Munan suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse and said to Tie Lang: "Brother Tie, although this old Longtan is in the south, but the road is far away, if the snow really stops, then what should we do? Let's go to the city of Yuanzhou, there must be a good doctor there, or he can cure your poison."
Tie Lang thought about it and felt that it made sense, if there was anything wrong in the middle, then it would be meaningless for Lao Longtan to go or not, so he said: "In your opinion"
The two turned their horses' heads and headed to Yuanzhou, the vast snowy fields, boundless, and the two embarked on an unknown road.
Sure enough, as the Zhuang family said, the two walked northeast about ten miles along the original road and entered the Yuanzhou City, which is several times larger than Jingbian Village, with a large population and rich products.
Tie Lang asked someone about the largest pharmacy in Yuanzhou City, the pharmacy was called Xiao Hua Tuo, Tie Lang couldn't help laughing and said: "Xiao Hua Tuo is here, he must be saved"
Ma Munan smiled apprehensively: "Brother Tie must be blessed by God"
The pharmacy opened early in the morning and there were customers coming to the door, which was a good omen, and the guy and the shopkeeper greeted him together, and the shopkeeper was called the doctor of Xiao Huatuo. The grade is about twenty years old, and he took Tie Lang with a smile: "Welcome to the door, below is the shopkeeper Bai Yuxia, I don't know the two ......."
This Bai Yuxia suddenly looked at Tie Lang intently and forgot the following words, Tie Lang and Ma Munan couldn't help but look at this young doctor, and couldn't help but beat a little drum in their hearts, and asked a few people who said that this little Hua Tuo was the best pharmacy in Yuanzhou, but was it this young doctor?
Bai Yuxia stared at Tie Lang a few more times, then suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Tie Lang to the door of the pharmacy, and looked at it again against the background of the white snow outside: "Where did you get this poison?"
Ma Munan was pleasantly surprised: "Doctor Bai knows this poison?"
Bai Yuxia still looked at Tie Lang intently and said: "This ice silkworm poison, you may have been hit for a few hours, and it is a miracle that you can walk freely."
Tie Lang arched his hand and said: "In Xia Tie Lang, as Doctor Bai said, it is indeed poisoned by the ice silkworm, and I ask Doctor Bai to treat it."
Bai Yuxia withdrew his gaze from Tie Lang, circled around Tie Lang again, and sniffed lightly: "You poison, I know it, but I can't cure it."
