Chapter 4: The end of the world seeks the three couples of the inn to solve the problem
But it was said that Ruan Xizhi and the maid Lianyu bought clothes, stole a lot of silver money, and left on the full moon night in October. Leave a letter on the dressing table, on which the head of the child is as usual, writing: Father and mother, daughter is not filial. Now that he has this fate, he thinks about it and goes, but he doesn't want to drag the second elder down with an ominous body. Today, Lianyu and I brought a lot of money, disguised as men, and went to the south to find Lu Gongzi. Although the future is uncertain, but the two of us will not be ostentatious, just walk with our heads bowed every day, and the silver money packages will not be placed in the light, and will never attract attention, and will definitely choose the national highway to walk. Although the two of us are women, we are calm and cautious, and we will not provoke right and wrong, please rest assured. I will do my best to find Lu Gongzi here, and if not, I will return immediately. The green mountains and green waters, the majestic mountains and rivers, are all my Han family, and I also want to see all over my heart. If you have a good errand outside, you can support yourself by yourself, and you will be notified by letter, and then you two can do a fake funeral for me. Seeing the faithful woman offering it with both hands, she was also sad and invincible. Don't read it again.
When this Nguyen Van and his wife saw this letter, they were all panicked. But when someone went to look for it, I don't know which direction the two of them went. Ruan Wensi thought about it, and also felt that it was not a bad way for her daughter to go out, not to mention that her daughter has always been steady, and Lianyu is also smart and sensible, if the two of them can really do it as in the letter, they will not have an accident, so they will not be silent and do not announce the news, but they also sent people to inquire about their whereabouts in all directions, thinking that if they can inquire, they can secretly protect their daughter.
Since the tenth day of October, within six or seven days, the news that Lu Yincong was arrested to do conscription spread on Bianliang Road. Gan Fangling was unable to send her relatives because she was sick on the 10th day of the first month of October, and she recuperated in the boudoir for a few days, when she suddenly heard the news and hurriedly ran to Ruan's house. An old servant of the Ruan family said: "Our young lady has been sad about Young Master Lu being arrested these days, and she can't see guests. Gan Fangling thought that this was also reasonable, so she left, but after going for several days, the old servant said the same thing, and she was a little suspicious in her heart. Ignoring the obstruction of the Ruan family, he rushed into the lobby and shouted at Xi Zhi, at this time Ruan Wen came out, retreated, and pulled Fang Ling into the room and told Xi Zhi in detail about Xi Zhi going to find Lu Yincong.
Fang Ling was very surprised when she heard this, and she asked, "Xizhi is such a weak girl, and she only has a handmaid by her side, why did she go out to find Lu Gongzi?" Ruan Wen replied: "We are also very worried, and we don't know what to do." Ruan Wen told Fang Ling again that she must not leak the news. Back home, Fang Ling remembered Xizhi in her heart. She and Xi Zhi met when they went to private school, and their friendship is also very deep, thinking that she is always thinking about her husband Qiao Luoyu in her heart, and now her fiancé has been taken away for forced labor, and the road ahead is confusing, and she is extremely pitiful to this girl. At this time, she was extremely worried, but she didn't know how to do it.
Suddenly, she suddenly felt that she absolutely couldn't sit idly by like this, and Ren Xizhi's future outside was uncertain. After thinking about it for a long time, she rushed out of the door and ran to the private school. Before school got out of school in the private school, Qiao Luoyu did not explain the Four Books and Five Classics, but recited a poem "Seeing Huan" by the queen Li Yu with a gloomy expression, "Lin Hua thanked Chunhong, too hurried, helpless to come to the cold rain and late wind." His eyes wandered, and he slowly lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. The whole room seemed to be infected, immersed in a faint and sad atmosphere.
After school, Qiao Luoyu hadn't left yet, just sitting in a wheelchair in a daze, dazed. Fang Ling stepped forward and said, "Sir, Fang Ling has something I want to ask Mr. to give me a solution." Luo Yu raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?" Fang Ling lowered her voice and said, "Does Mr. remember Xizhi?" Luo Yu looked away and said, "How could you not remember." "Xizhi's fiancé Lu Gongzi was mistakenly arrested for forced labor. Now...... Now...... Luo Yu raised her head quickly, and her eyes seemed to ask: What's wrong with Xi Zhi?" "Now Xi Zhi took her little maid, pretended to be a little girl, and went out to find Lu Gongzi!" Fang Ling said, "Now her parents don't know what to do, and I don't know what to do, but after all, I can't let Xi Zhi wander outside, so I implore Mr. to come up with an idea." ”
Qiao Luo was dumbfounded, and his heart jumped. "What nonsense!" he said, frowning.
Seeing this situation, Fang Ling saw that Qiao Luoyu was still very concerned about Xizhi. So his heart moved, and he said slowly: "Sir may not know about it. Luo Yu raised his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"
Fang Ling said: "Cherish her...... She's been in love with you for a long time. Luo Yu's heart ached suddenly, and his face became more and more pale. But I heard Fang Ling continue in her ear: "Xizhi is a talented and good girl, and she will definitely not like someone she has never met." I think she must have no intention of this Lu Gongzi. But she is also a sentient person, seeing that Lu Gongzi is in trouble, even though the person she likes is you, she still wants to find the Lu Gongzi who is a servant......" Luo Yu felt a pain in his heart and a trance. I couldn't help but say: "Am I not affectionate towards her?" Fang Ling was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "Teacher, what did you say?" Luo Yu knew that he had lost his words, but he looked at Fang Ling's eyes and asked, "Does she really care that I can't stand up?" Fang Ling was so excited that she almost burst into tears, and said, "Teacher, you also look down on her too much!" 'Poor and lowly can't be moved, rich and noble can't be lewd, and mighty can't be bent!' This is what you taught us! How could she not love you because of this mere matter?" Luo Yu was stunned and stopped talking, Fang Ling continued to ask, "Do you really like her too?" Luo Yu said, "She has already shown her heart to me." Fang Ling squatted down and asked, "Then did you reject her?" Luo was silent. Fang Ling stood up and said angrily: "Since you have affection for her, why do you want to reject her? If you don't reject her, maybe she won't have to marry that uncivilized Lu Gongzi!" Luo Yu frowned, thinking that now that Xi Zhi is wandering outside, she doesn't know what hardships she has to suffer, and her heart is extremely painful, but there is really no good way for a while. I could only hear Fang Ling's voice continue to ring in my ears: "If Xi Zhi knows that you also like her, I don't know how happy I am!" Luo Yu knew that he had actually secretly had feelings for Xi Zhi, and when he heard Fang Ling say this, he felt very remorseful, so he made up his mind and rushed out: "She can go to others, why can't I find her!" Fang Ling was overjoyed, but heard Qiao Luo foolishly calling: "Xin Zhao!" Xin Zhao is a child who pushes a wheelchair for Luo Yu, and he has been following him since he was a child. Xinzhao came over, although he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, there was an aura between his eyebrows and eyes. "Let's go back quickly. I go home and pack my bags, and you come back and go door to door and apologize to my students. Luo Yu said, shaking his wheelchair to go out. "Master, what are you sorry for?" Luo Yu said: "This private school will not be open from tomorrow, and all tuition fees should be refunded to them." Then we're ready to hit the road looking for someone. Xin Zhao was surprised: "Who are you looking for?" Luo said foolishly: "You don't have to ask again, just let me go." ”
The night is as cool as water, the autumn is strong, and the sound of bamboo leaves is heartwarming. Qiao Luo looked at the couch foolishly, and his thoughts went back to that day, as if Xi Zhi still had long hair hanging down her shoulders, smiling and talking to him. On the day of her engagement, the people of Ruanfu came to invite him, but how could he endure the heartache to attend the engagement ceremony of his beloved woman, and there was no reason because he was unwilling to find any excuse to deceive her. On the eve of the tenth day of October, he did not return to this suburban garden, but learned that Xi Zhi was married on the same day, and his heart was depressed, so he looked at the moonlight outside the railing in the private school, but overheard the words shouted by Xi Zhi. To this day, this 'Brother Luo Yu' is still echoing in his ears, and Si Ren is no longer around.
I don't know when I started thinking about this girl, but although I didn't care about this teacher's and student's status, I didn't want to drag her down because of my legs, although she didn't care, but after all, she couldn't. But if she really marries someone else, won't she be heartbroken? Her heart has already been conveyed from the sentence that the falling flowers deliberately follow the flowing water, and the flowing water has no intention of falling in love with the falling flowers, even if she marries someone else, can she be happy?
"Fool, I'm on my way tomorrow, but be careful!" said his adoptive father, interrupting his thoughts. Luo Yu smiled indifferently: "Yes." "Although you can use a secret weapon, but don't provoke right and wrong, after all, this secret weapon can't protect you. The adoptive father told him carefully.
It turned out that this Qiao Luoyu's adoptive father was a master of literature and martial arts, but because he didn't want to be an official in the court, he lived in seclusion in Bianliang. He passed on Qiao Luo's Yuqin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and taught some secret weapon kung fu. Qiao Luoyu is very talented, and when he was at home, he used chess pieces as a hidden weapon, practiced diligently, and his skills were very clever. That day, Xi Zhi came to the suburbs to fly a kite, and unintentionally broke into the bamboo forest, when the wind was blowing, the bamboo leaves were flying all over the sky, Qiao Luoyu was hitting the bamboo leaves with chess pieces, and did not see Xi Zhi who was dressed in blue, so he accidentally hit her, and there was an encounter that day.
Luo Yu understands that his father doesn't have to worry about it. Luo Yu replied respectfully.
The wind rose, and the adoptive father closed the window for Luo Yu and went out. Luo Yu picked up a handkerchief on the table. That night, it was such a strong wind that blew away her handkerchief, and the silk handkerchief danced endlessly, but finally stopped on Luo Yu's lap.
Luo Yu looked at the handkerchief and thought: We must find her on this trip, even if it is not our two hearts, it is natural for the teacher to find a student.
It's late autumn, the leaves are falling all over the ground, and occasionally a few partridges are gone. Luo Yu and Xinzhao packed their bags and set a route to the south, even if they set off. But seeing Gan Fangling rushing forward with a package on her back, blocking the way, she said to Luo Yu with a smile on her eyebrows: "Sir, I'll go with you too!" Luo Yu brushed his long hair under his sideburns and said: "You are a girl, even if your parents agree that you go out and walk with us two men, it is always a bad reputation." Fang Ling said: "Sir, you are also gone, I don't have a school to go to school on weekdays." Maybe I have to be arranged by my parents to do something nonsense, I don't want it! You can understand my heart of missing friends, okay? Besides, I can still take care of you, right?" Luo Yu smiled and said, "You take care of yourself first!" At the moment, she motioned for Xinzhao to continue walking, and Fang Ling knew that he had agreed, so she followed. Fang Ling has never been idle, and along the way, she told Qiao Luoyu how Xi Zhi liked him, and she pitied Xi Zhi's love that she had never said to Luo Yuming, but she told Fang Ling thoroughly. Fang Ling thinks that these words may be able to lead to a good thing. When Luo Yu heard this, he was surprised and regretted in his heart. Thinking that if she could find Ruan Xizhi, if she didn't mind her legs, she would marry her as a wife. Talking like this, the journey is not lonely.
After ten days, when he was about to leave Henan Jiangbei Province, Xinzhao proposed: "Master, today is the first day of November, let's find an inn in this rather prosperous place to rest overnight, eat something good, recuperate, and it's not too late to hurry." Luo Yu agreed, and the three of them found a first-class inn to rest.
At dinnertime, the three of them were drinking and eating downstairs in the inn, and suddenly heard the noise of people outside the inn, and after a while, a group of Mongolian soldiers broke in, led by a soldier carrying a man who looked like an officer. The officer hung his head and looked as if he was seriously ill. One of the soldiers said in a loud voice to the innkeeper, "Find us a few rooms, and then bring all the famous doctors here and treat us adults." The boss agreed repeatedly, and the group of Mongol soldiers went up the stairs.
Fang Ling frowned and said, "I'm afraid these people want to live next to us, it's too noisy!" Xin Zhao said: "I don't know what kind of illness this officer has." Luo Yu said: "This group of people with bows and arrows, as if they were out hunting, this officer has no external injuries, and he can hunt, it must be a sudden illness, it may be poisoning." ”
Xin Zhao said: "Since the establishment of the Great Yuan in Mongolia, there have been countless anti-Yuan organizations, maybe some hero infiltrated these Mongols and then poisoned the rice. When Luo Yu heard this, he was sad in his heart and sighed softly. When I saw it, I understood that Luo Yu was sad because he was disabled and could not contribute to the Han people, so he knew that he was speechless, stopped speaking, and buried himself in eating. Fang Ling saw it, and also saw Luo Yu's heart, although she was bold and straightforward, she was not unable to see the situation. But at this moment, I was really curious about Qiao Luo's stupid legs, so I couldn't hold it back, and asked in a low voice, "Teacher, your legs ...... Have you ever found a doctor to treat you?" Luo Yu said: "I have looked for a doctor when I was young, but they all said that they couldn't see any disease. However, a doctor once mentioned that to cure my leg, I had to prepare a series of medicinal herbs, not to mention that it was difficult to find, and it would take years to prepare those herbs. My father had to heal my leg, and it took a lot of effort to finally gather all these herbs, and according to the doctor, after taking the medicine for a year, I should be able to stand up, but I still can't stand up. The doctor was helpless, and although my father still had to treat my leg, I didn't want him to run around like that. Fang Ling listened and felt sorry in her heart.
Luo Yu and Xinzhao returned to the guest room, and after a while, they heard the sound of squirming footsteps, thinking that the doctor had already been invited. In the middle of the night, Luo Yu was suddenly woken up by a sound, and when he heard it again, it turned out that the Mongols next door were shouting loudly about the doctors who had failed to cure the Mongolian officer's illness. He was angry and called, "Xinzhao, let's go and see." ”
The two went out, and the shouting and scolding in the room were still endless. After a while, many people who were woken up came closer to see it, and heard one of the people inside shouting: "If you can't cure it again, kill your useless doctors!" When Luo Yu heard this, he took out a few chess pieces and secretly clasped them in the palm of his hand.
After a while, there was a cry of mercy inside, the door of the room opened, and everyone dispersed, but a Mongolian soldier kicked out a doctor, and the doctor crawled and begged for mercy. The Mongolian raised his knife and was about to cut it down, Qiao Luo's foolish hand was quick, and the chess piece came out with a gust of wind, just hitting the back of the soldier's hand, and suddenly, the blood flowed from the middle of the hit, and the soldier threw the knife in pain, squatted on the ground and shouted loudly, cursed loudly in Mongolian, and glanced at Qiao Luoyu, but Luo Yu was sitting behind the crowd, and it was inconspicuous.
Fang Ling was already here, and at this time, a man came out of the room, took the doctors out, made a round, and asked, "Are there any doctors among you who can cure diseases, these people are useless, and they can't cure our adults' diseases, now I will kill them all, if anyone can come out to heal, I can save them." "Most of the people have begun to be angry in their hearts, but the other party is a Mongolian and has a knife, and one by one can only dare to be angry but dare not speak. At this time, two people behind Fang Ling passed her, passed through the crowd, and came to the front. Fang Ling couldn't help but be shocked when she took a look.
But I saw that these were two men, one was dressed in a dark blue and white cardigan coarse cloth coat, carrying a medicine bag, with a beautiful face, a righteous body, looking at the age of twenty-six or seven, this one had nothing, mainly the one next to him, dressed in a brown coarse cloth short brown, with a black belt, and his steps were very vigorous, and that appearance turned out to be another Qiao Luoyu.
Qiao Luo looked at the two of them, and he was immediately shocked. saw the man in brown raise his eyebrows, and said coldly: "If you let them go, if you can't cure the disease, you will kill people, there is no such reason in the world." My brother knows how to heal, let him take a look, just look at it, if you don't see it, it's because you haven't created it. When the Mongol heard this, he turned around and said, "Please go in and see." The man in white went in, and the man in brown picked up the doctor on the ground and said to them, "Go away!" The Mongol stretched out his sword and said, "What if you can't be cured?" The man said, "I have already said that if you can't be cured, you yourself have not been cured." But if you don't let these people go, we won't treat you now, and of course, I won't let you touch these doctors. The Mongol saw that he was not afraid of anything between his eyebrows, and that he was quite athletic, and that he had no intention of killing the doctors, so he put away his knife, and without saying a word, let the doctors go.
Everyone dispersed, Fang Ling saw Luo Yu at a glance, rushed over and asked, "Why does that person look exactly like Mr. just now!" Luo Yu shook his head and said in his heart: "Not only does that person look the same as Ye, but the other one in white is also a bit like Ye!" Luo Yu said: "Tomorrow, find those two people and ask them clearly." ”
At dawn, Luo Yu asked the shopkeeper which room the two men were staying in, but he heard that the shopkeeper said that they had been in the Mongolian officer's room all night and had not come out. Luo Yu went back to his room to wait, and after a while, he heard a quarrel next door, and one of them said: "Our lord woke up this time, and asked you to go back with us to be the doctor in our lord's house is to promote you, don't toast, don't eat and drink!" The man in brown said in a voice: "I said that we still have urgent matters, and we can't respond to you." Find someone else!" A soft voice said, "My medical skills are actually not very good, and it is pure luck that I can be cured this time." We still have urgent matters on our side, so we can't go with you. A stern voice said, "If you let you go, you have to go, I can't help you!" Immediately, there was the sound of a teacup breaking.
Luo Yu thought to himself, these Mongols are entangled with these two, and I have to think of a way to save them. He pondered for a moment, found a pen and paper and wrote a few lines, and called Xinzhao and said: "You pretend to be Xiao Er, bring the tea from our house to the house, say to send tea, and then quietly stuff the paper into the hand of one of the two." Remember, never teach the Mongols to discover. Shinaki agreed. After a while, he came back and said that the matter was done. Luo Yu smiled and said, "Let's wait outside the inn." ”
After settling the money, outside the inn, Luo Yu asked Xinzhao to call Fang Ling out. After a while, the two men came out, and Fang Ling also arrived. Fang Ling grabbed the man in white and said, "Who are the two of you?"
At this time, the two men also saw Qiao Luoyu and were extremely surprised. Luo Yu smiled and gestured, and the man in white gave a packet of medicine to a Mongolian who came out with them, and said, "Take this, and the adults will be cured." The man said no more, took the medicine, and left.
Fang Ling was confused on the side, and asked without letting everyone speak, "What is going on?" Xin Zhao smiled and said: "Just now, the Mongolians didn't let these two masters go, so I asked me to pretend to be a little two, sent tea to their house, and stuffed them with a note." Fang Ling said, "What is written on the note?" The man in white smiled, "Let me pretend that the Mongolian official's illness is still short of medicine, and if they don't let us go, this medicine will not be given to them." The man in brown said, "What a good plan, saving me from doing it with them." Fang Ling said, "Then what did you just give to that person?" The man in white said: "It's an ordinary medicinal herb, and it can't eat the dead if it is added to the medicine." ”
When the two saw Qiao Luoyu, they stepped forward happily. The man in white walked up to Luo Yu, took his hand, turned back to the man in brown and said excitedly, "Although we didn't find all the medicines, we found them first!"
