Chapter 8: The Valley of Forgotten Sorrows
Liu Xunyin was still asleep, and suddenly heard the sound of chains vibrating outside the door. Wen Ember shook her arm and whispered, "Xunyin, someone is here." ”
She came to her senses and stroked Yu Qinghe's forehead, his high fever had subsided, and his expression was much soothed.
I saw a middle-aged man striding towards with a solemn expression. After confirming that the three of them were fine, he turned around and scolded sharply: "Yue'er, how can you be so nonsense!"
Liang Huayue looked sneering: "Dad." I didn't mean to, I didn't know they were from the Du family. ”
"No matter who it is, you can't be so rude! Privately placed under house arrest, if this kind of thing spreads, won't it ruin the reputation of our Liang family!" The middle-aged man was obviously angry, and Liang Huayue lowered his head on the side and didn't dare to speak.
This is followed by a familiar figure.
"Master!Master!" Liu Xunyin called softly.
Wen Shen looked at it intently, Du Ruo was still dressed in red, with long black hair curled behind his head, and he had not changed much from the senior sister in his impression. Behind her stood a middle-aged man in a dark blue robe, who was the master Yu Danzhu mentioned by Liu Xunyin.
The two walked quickly, helped Yu Qinghe diagnose his pulse, and his expression relaxed.
"Mr. Yu, Sister Du Ruo. The Liang and Du families have always been good friends, and the little girl is ignorant and hurts the harmony. Liang bowed: "Please bear with me." ”
"It's okay, Brother Liang. It's just that she is so clever and ghostly, not like the daughter raised by your Liang Heng. Du Ruo smiled, turned around and comforted: "Huayue, it's okay." Your father and I grew up together and are very familiar with each other. ”
"Mr. Yu, Ling Gongzi's injury ......," Liang Heng asked nervously.
"His high fever has subsided, and he is fine. Yu Danzhu pulled out all the golden needles on Qinghe's arm: "Miss Liang is light, it's just a skin injury, just recuperate for some time." ”
Yu Qinghe coughed a few times, woke up, his face was still as pale as paper, and he was happy to see the person in front of him: "Dad!
Du Ruo held Yu Qinghe's hand: "Brother Liang, I'll take these three juniors back first." Come back another day and remember to prepare the best green poplar spring tea!"
"Of course. Liang Heng replied with a hearty smile, and then turned to Liang Huayue and said sharply: "Don't go over and hold it yet!"
Liang Huayue went over to help angrily, Yu Qinghe glanced at her sister, and Liu Xunyin let go of her hand with a smile. All the weight instantly leaned on Liang Huayue's body, and an instability made her almost stumble.
"You!" Liang Huayue glared at Yu Qinghe angrily, looked at her father with a serious look in her eyes, and didn't dare to scold.
"Miss Liang, it's okay. Yu Qinghe whispered with a smile in her ear.
The scent of medicinal herbs mixed with the smell of rain swept over his body. Liang Huayue's heart moved, and somehow, a blush slowly appeared on her face.
After meeting the elders of the Du family, Liu Xunyin settled Yu Qinghe and went straight back to the wing room to rest. Soon, there was a soft knock at the door.
"Master?" Seeing Yu Danzhu's sad face, Liu Xunyin closed the door: "Master has something to say." ”
Yu Danzhu sat at the table and thought for a long time before he made up his mind and said: "Xunyin, I said goodbye to your master this time, not just to participate in the handover ceremony of the head of Xiao Chumen. ”
"That's ......" Liu Xunyin was a little puzzled.
"There's a message from your father over there in southern Xinjiang. ”
"What?" Liu Xunyin was startled, his eyes reddened: "Who is the news from anyone, is it really reliable?"
"Hmm. Yu Qinghe nodded and said: "Seventeen years ago, there was a plague in Yangzhou, and it was fierce. At that time, I had not long been out of school, and I had traveled here, and I stayed to heal the sick and save people. It happened that your sister left Jixue Hall to avoid the limelight at Du's house and got to know each other. On one of my medical practices, I met an old woman who was dying and her grandson was crying loudly around her. The dead horse was treated as a live horse doctor, and we immediately poured deer blood on her, not wanting to be cured. Then I married your teacher, stayed in the Du family for a few years, and decided to return to Taoyuan Town. When the old woman was old, she left the boy some money and an address, so that he might come to us if he had no support. I don't want that child to grow up and enter the Cloud Silence Gate. ”
"Cloud Silence Gate?" Liu Xunyin said in surprise.
"Yes, he doesn't have kung fu on him. Because of the atmosphere of the market, it is easy to hide people's eyes and ears, and Yun Lonely Gate specially sent him to be responsible for collecting news about the rivers and lakes. For some reason, Yun Lonely Gate has been looking for your father. The kid felt that Liu Kongqing's name was familiar, and remembered that it was the senior brother Du Ruo had been looking for. He intercepted the clues of his subordinates and sent us a letter in advance. ”
"Southern Xinjiang. Why did my dad go there?" Liu Xunyin wondered.
"I don't know. Your father is a person who values love and righteousness, if he is free, it is impossible for him to cut off contact with the Du family and your mother for so many years, and it is not easy to think about the disappearance of the year. Yu Danzhu paused: "Xunyin, you have to promise the master that if there is any danger in the process of looking for your father, you must immediately retreat." ”
"Yes. Thank you, Master. Liu Xunyin saluted respectfully to Yu Danzhu.
"That child's name is Xiao Mu, and after you arrive in southern Xinjiang, you can go to him with this token. Yu Danzhu handed Liu Xunyin a letter.
Liu Xunyin was full of worries and paced back to the room. Seeing Wen Ember sitting in the courtyard, it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time, so he walked over and said, "Young Master Wen, I'll take you to see the master." ”
Knowing that the two must have a secret conversation, Liu Xunyin closed the door and retreated after pouring tea for the two.
"Senior sister. Wen Shen saw that although Du Ruo's face had not changed, he was no longer as free and easy as he was back then, and he had suffered a lot for so many years, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Ashen, you've grown so big. Du Ruo smiled sadly: "There is no longer a senior sister of the Trace Snow Hall, call me Mrs. Yu in the future." ”
The old people are reunited, but they are relatively silent. Wen Shen lowered his head and took out the purple brocade silk in his arms: "Mrs. Yu, you can recognize this thing." ”
Du Ruo trembled: "It's actually you, I thought ...... It has been taken away by the people of the Cloud Silence Gate. ”
"It was left by the senior sister. Ember said.
"Su Mu?" Du Ruo said in surprise, "Is it Su Mu?"
Wen Ember was silent, Du Ruo understood, his eyes instantly dimmed, and he said bitterly: "To be honest, I don't know what this is." I only know that Master regards it as a treasure. The old man wanted me to take over the handwriting snow hall, so he showed it to me. ”
"Do you have anything else?"
"Nope. Du Ruo frowned: "I just said that if there is any change in the rivers and lakes, I will take it to southern Xinjiang to find the lord of Tang Yu Valley." ”
"Tang Yu, the valley master of the Forgotten Worry Valley?" Wen Yan asked suspiciously. This Valley of Forgotten Worries is located in a land of ice and snow in southern Xinjiang, and its followers are good at domesticating white foxes, and use fox blood as a lure to refine venom and kill people invisibly. It has always been a cult in the eyes of famous and decent people. Jixuetang has always acted above board, with the purpose of helping the world and saving people, why is it related to it.
"Yes. Du Ruo replied: "Gang Master Tang and Master are old acquaintances, but I have never had the opportunity to meet him. Aye, I don't know what secret this brocade silk is, if you insist on carrying it, you must be careful in your actions. ”
"Good. Ember nodded solemnly.
