Chapter 294
But I heard Mrs. Sha say: "After Yiming took the tail rudder, the Upeng boat became more and more stable and sailed downstream. The fourth uncle and the others were naturally unwilling, so they followed closely on the shore. I helped my dad sit on the deck, and by this time he was fainting from pain. I saw that blood was pouring out of his wounds, and my heart was so panicked that I didn't know what to do, so I couldn't help crying.
At this time, the small boat that Yiming was riding also came over, and there were two people on the boat, but they were the boatmen of the boat in the middle of the river. Yiming said in a loud voice to the two boatmen, 'I will give you fifty taels of silver, and if you have lost your boat, come to this boat and help me steer it.' The two boatmen were glad to receive such a large sum of money, and I was worried that they would not be able to climb onto the boat, but they climbed onto the board of the boat and climbed on board without difficulty. One took the wooden rudder from Yiming's hand, and the other went to comb the sails. After he tied the sail rope, he turned to Yiming and said, 'Boss, where are we going?'
At this time, Yiming had walked briskly to me, tearing open his father's shirt to check on his injuries. When the boatman asked, he said without raising his head, 'Go to the Jiujiang Wharf!' and the boatman agreed, and then turned the sails. The boat veered to the right and quickly left the shore. I could only hear the fourth uncle and others shouting and scolding on the shore, but not long after, the Wupeng boat had sailed into the middle of the river, and the shore was getting farther away, and finally those wicked people could no longer be seen.
Yiming ordered several key points on his father's body, and took out the wound medicine from his arms to stop the bleeding. After working for most of the day, Daddy opened his eyes slightly, but a pair of eyes were stagnant and motionless, and his face was like a blank piece of paper. Daddy looked at it, and then said to Yiming in a trembling voice: "Big, hero, don't bother. I, this daughter, have no choice but to entrust and entrust to the hero, take her to the capital, and ......
When Daddy said this, his body trembled, and he died of anger. In one day, my eldest brother first turned his face and assassinated my father, and then my second brother died tragically and fell into the river, and there were no bones left. At this time, my father died in front of me again. Although he and his two elder brothers have not been very good to me since I was a child, but in the past few days when he escaped from the Fang family, he has taken good care of me, I am afraid that in this life, no elder will care so much about me. I tried to cry out loud, but I couldn't make a sound, and after a few shakes, I fell headlong and fainted. “
Mrs. Sha said this with tears in her eyes. The young man named Sha Zhongyu snuggled up to him, and there was a sad look on his face. Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Xiao Zhanpeng were also saddened, and for a while, no one spoke in this huge hole. I could only hear the sound of water dripping on the rock wall, and each sound really came into my ears, and it sounded moving.
After a long time, Mrs. Sha continued: "When I woke up, I found myself lying on a wooden couch. When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by an old man's face full of wrinkles. When the man saw that I had opened his eyes, he smiled, turned to the person next to him, and said, 'All right, she's awake.' You can rest assured that she is just overly sad and phlegm, and her body is fine. As long as you take a good rest and take some qi-tonifying decoction, you can return to normal in less than a month. Just don't overwork and be sad, otherwise if you don't make a decision for a long time, it will inevitably damage your liver and lungs. ’
"But I heard the man next to me say: 'Thank you doctor for saving my sister, I am very grateful.' Then I found Yiming standing beside me, taking out his own money and handing it to the doctor. The doctor took the money and said, 'I'll write you a prescription, and you can go to the pharmacy and take it only once a day.' Avoid oily and spicy within half a month, remember to remember. ’
Yiming sent the doctor out of the door, and then walked back to the bed, and saw my eyes wide, with a dazed and ignorant look, so he smiled slightly, and said: "Girl, you can rest assured, although we are in Jiujiang, we are only on the south bank of the river. The boat has been abandoned by me on the shore, and the thieves follow it along the north shore, and when they reach the south shore, it will take at least three or four days to look for the ship again. By then, we were already heading north, and they couldn't find us anymore. ’
"I said in a trembling voice: 'Thank you for the rescue, the little girl is grateful. As I spoke, I tried to get up and salute him, but he hurriedly stopped me and said, 'Girl, don't be polite. The righteousness of the people in the rivers and lakes is the first, and when they encounter injustices, they should draw their swords to help. But there was one thing I had to tell the girl. Fearing an enemy ambush at the wharf, I disembarked at a bay a few miles from Jiujiang. In order not to attract attention, I found a deserted place on the shore and cremated your father's body, and the ashes were placed in the altar. ’
As he spoke, he pointed to a black porcelain altar on the table in the hall. Then he said, 'Because the girl has been asleep, I have no choice but to put away some of the things on the old man's body for the girl to examine. This is a small town inn, and it is extremely difficult for outsiders to find here. The girl rests in peace, let's go in two or three days. ’
"I saw that he had arranged it very well, and I had no objection in my heart. It's just sad that my father died, and the second brother has no bones, so I can't help but feel sad. Seeing that my face was sad, he told some interesting stories in the rivers and lakes, which was an attempt to alleviate my sadness. After I exchanged names with him, Yiming asked me why the thieves wanted to hunt down my whole family. I didn't want to hide it, but the Fang family was closely monitored by the imperial court, and I didn't want to cause trouble for him, so I had to deduce that the family was fighting for the division of property, and my father escaped with our brothers and sisters, and was intercepted and killed here. I have an older sister who is married to the capital, and this time my father is going to take our brother and sister to the capital to join our relatives. Seeing that there were many loopholes in my speech, Yiming knew that I was hiding something, but he didn't ask too much. He said that he lived in Shajiabao, not far from the capital, and happened to be on the same road as me, and if I didn't dislike it, he could send me to my sister's house in the capital.
"I'm naturally happy to have him by my side. The two of them talked about it, but the sadness in my heart also dissipated a lot. Yiming found the shopkeeper again, gave him a few taels of silver, and asked him to take the prescription to the pharmacy in the town to grab the medicine and buy the medicine jar. The little two got the silver reward and went happily. That night, Yiming boiled a decoction for me, served me to drink the medicine, and brought me rice porridge for me to eat.
"When I fell asleep during the night, he sat down behind the door with his back to the wall, and his sword lay on his knee, and he sat down and slept. That night was the most restful sleep I've ever had!"
Mrs. Sha said this, and a smile appeared in her eyes. Murong Danyan said in a low voice: "Sister, I really envy you, to meet such a hero who is strong in martial arts and knows how to be considerate!"
Mrs. Sha smiled: "Why should my sister envy me, you will meet a man who is better than Yiming." It's just that you encountered it, but don't miss it easily. ”
Murong Danyan's face turned red and said, "Sister, don't make fun of me." ”
Li Qiufeng saw Murong Danyan's face shy, but he was also quite moved. Xiao Zhanpeng turned miserable, so he had to turn his face aside, pretending not to care.
Mrs. Sha said: "I slept soundly that night and had many sweet dreams. In my dream, I sat on a big boat with Yiming and sailed on the river. I looked at his resolute face, and my heart was full of tender love. Just as he was complacent, he suddenly heard someone whisper in his ear: 'Girl, girl!'
I woke up from my dream, but the voice was still ringing in my ears. When I opened my eyes, I saw Yiming standing on the edge of the bed, leaning over to speak to me. Seeing that I opened my eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "I just heard Xiao Er say that someone came to the store early in the morning to inquire and ask if there was a man and a woman staying in the hotel. I have already instructed the shopkeeper last night not to reveal the whereabouts of you and me. It was the treasurer who took the people away. I didn't expect these people to come so quickly, which shows that they are extremely powerful. This place is not a place to stay for a long time, we have to hurry up and get on the road, leave this place, and go to the capital as soon as possible. I don't know ...... girl's body'
"I didn't wait for him to finish, so he said: 'Sha Daxia, don't worry, let's leave immediately!' After finishing speaking, I lifted the quilt and was about to sit up, only to find that I was only wearing a close-fitting coat, and suddenly screamed, and wrapped the quilt tightly around my body, and my head retracted into the quilt, and my heart was pounding, as if I was about to jump out of my chest.
"But I heard Yiming say embarrassedly: 'Miss Fang, when I carried you to this inn, you had a lot of blood on your body, so I had to ask the shopkeeper's wife to change your clothes for you. The girl can rest assured that she is not a disciple, and there is absolutely no indecent voyeurism......
"I listened to his anxious defense, and my heart was relaxed, but I was slightly disappointed......"
When Mrs. Sha said this, Murong Danyan's eyes widened on the side and said, "This sand castle master is really a righteous gentleman, he doesn't take advantage of others' dangers, why is my sister a little disappointed?"
