A rush of liquor poured into the stomach, strongly irritating the esophagus. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Ahem, cough, cough", choked out a sip of wine, slowly opened his eyes after drinking a pot, and said with a smile: "Didn't you let me drink?
Seeing that he woke up after drinking a pot, Yu Muyan's nose was sore, and she fell on his chest and sobbed.
Big brother, it's really good that you didn't die.
After waking up after drinking a pot, I simply dealt with the wounds on my body, but I was startled when I saw it, and my back, hands, and feet were all scarred, and it seemed that this time I really had to recuperate.
Yu Muyan silently helped to drink a pot to clean the wound, she was shocked when she looked at it, and she couldn't bear the grief in her heart, and she wanted to cry several times, but she was teased and laughed at by a pot.
After a long time, the dark clouds cleared, the moon gradually climbed up the branches, and the early spring night was still very cold, especially the two who were still wrapped in wet clothes.
There was no firewood to ignite, so the two could only sit and endure the freezing, looking at Yu Muyan's trembling body, drinking a pot and not bearing, handing her the wine jug, and said with a smile: "Drink some bar, you can keep out the cold." ā
Yu Muyan stretched out her trembling hands, took the wine jug, drank it all, coughed cough, and choked her for a while.
However, in the end, the liquor brought a trace of warmth, and the whole body relaxed.
"I didn't lie to you before, wine is a good thing, right?" asked with a smile on a jug.
"Even so, it's not good to drink too much. Yu Muyan gradually stopped trembling and said.
"Okay, good, drink less in the future. He laughed at a pot.
"By the way, why are you so stupid today, why do you want to let go by yourself?" was silent for a moment, and asked Yu Muyan about her experience during the day.
"Because Xiaolong's mother died early, there is only one relative in the world, my father. Yu Muyan leaned on her knee and said.
"I know the pain of losing my father's love best, because I haven't seen my father since I was a child. Yu Muyan suddenly opened the conversation box and continued.
"Hmm, what about your father, died?" asked a pot, curiously.
"Well, I heard from my mother that my father died on the night they got married. Yu Muyan said as she seemed to fall into a faint sadness again.
drank a pot and looked at it in his eyes, and sighed in his heart: Happy events have become funerals, and Yu Muyan's mother is really pitiful.
"Did you find the murderer?" asked Teapot.
"Mother said that the murderer was herself, so after the incident, she blamed herself every day, and was ready to go with her father several times, but was stopped by her uncles and uncles, until a month later, she found out that she was pregnant, in order to commemorate her father, and in order to continue the incense, my mother gave up the idea of suicide, and finally gave birth to me successfully. Yu Muyan said.
After drinking a pot, I wondered in my heart, since Yu Muyan's mother loved her father so much, how could she be a murderer? But this is someone else's family matter, since the other party didn't say it clearly, it is better to inquire less, so he was silent.
In fact, Yu Hanshang told Yu Muyan about the details, it seems that when the two of them spent candles in the cave room, somehow, the Yin True Qi in Yu Hansheng's body suddenly poured into his father's body, causing his heart to freeze and die, so Yu Hanshang said that she was the culprit who killed her husband. But how could Yu Muyan be embarrassed to mention this kind of private matter with a pot, so she avoided the details and only said the result.
Yu Muyan recovered from her father's grief and asked about the past: "Brother You, what about you, can you tell me about your past?"
Drink a pot and smile faintly: "The past is gone, there is no need to mention it again, but in fact, I am the same as you, because my father is still alive, but my mother has passed away." ā
"Big brother, you are a good person, and your father must also be a good person, if you have the chance, take me to see it?" Yu Muyan said with a smile.
"Heh, I'm not a good man, but my father is a great man, but there are many things in him that I haven't learned. He sighed after a pot.
"No, big brother, you are a good person, although we haven't been together for a long time, but I can clearly feel that in order to save Xiaolong, you can block the torrent with your own body, and jump into the torrent desperately in order to save me. That day in the woods, you could protect me all the way to this place for Senior Sister Lu's words, and that day in the Hundred Herbs Valley, you could stand up for me and Chen Wen'an and face the hundreds of sects in the Medicine Valley. You're really a good person, but you don't want to admit it. Yu Muyan suddenly said a little excitedly.
"Maybe, let's rest early, and we'll find a way to go back to Whitewater Town tomorrow morning. Drinking a pot did not respond positively to Yu Muyan's words, but just told her to go to bed early, and looked into the distance with a somewhat empty look, as if recalling her past.
So what kind of bitter past?
Yu Muyan sighed silently in her heart, Big brother, I believe that you must have been a big hero before, but I don't know what happened to you to turn you into the drunkard you are now. But in any case, big brother, I believe that one day I will be able to see the same you again, and I look forward to seeing what the former you are like as soon as possible.
The night passed, and when Yu Muyan opened her eyes to see the rising sun, she also saw Hui Yan and others at the same time.
I saw that Hui Yan and Wu Wen were very excited after seeing Yu Muyan and Yu Muyan, and hurriedly stepped forward to help them return to Baishui Town.
Back in town, the water has receded, leaving behind a mess, some sitting in front of the flooded ruins of their homes and screaming, some silently returning to their still standing homes to clean up. And the mayor has organized a group of people to plan intensively to repair the broken river embankment. And so the days of post-disaster reconstruction began.
And after drinking a pot of injuries, I had to lie in bed every day to recuperate, Yu Muyan took care of it carefully, went to the street to grab medicine, cook stewed soup, and take care of all the food and daily life. But he just didn't let him drink, and he was very troubled by drinking a pot of wine, and after drinking for a long time, he suddenly stopped today, which was really uncomfortable.
Finally, after a few days, the injury of a pot of wine improved, the wound on the body gradually scarred, the heart of the wine worm committed, drink a pot and get up and go to the kitchen to rummage for wine, happily found a jar in the corner, opened it and drank, just didn't drink a few sips, a person at the door walked in, shouted: "Brother drink, you are not allowed to drink, why are you so disobedient!"
Seeing Yu Muyan's angry expression, she shook her head helplessly after drinking a pot, put down the wine jar, and went back to the house stupidly.
"Okay, let's drink this bowl of medicine first. Inside the house, Yu Muyan held a bowl of steaming Chinese medicine and handed it a pot.
"I'm almost in good shape, I don't need to drink such a difficult medicine, right?" said with a smile.
"Good medicine is bitter, drink it quickly, you have to take care of your body thoroughly. Yu Muyan urged.
After drinking a pot of medicinal soup, he smiled and said, "Why, aren't you in such a hurry to go home now?"
"Of course, I have to let you recover first, otherwise what will I do if I am dragged down on the road. Yu Muyan said with a smile.
"Hehe, I think I can't get on the road in the first place, I heard Huiyan say that the bridge of the river was washed away in the previous flood, and it has not been repaired yet. Said with a pot.
"yes, there's a huge shortage of manpower right now. Yu Muyan sighed.
"It seems that everyone doesn't have much food, my health is almost better, you don't have to give me so much food every day, save some for others." He sighed after a pot.
"It's okay, according to the inquiry, in the next two days, there will be an official in the city to transport grain. When the time comes, everyone will be full of food and drink, and they will be able to work more energetically, and the bridge will naturally be repaired as soon as possible. During this time, you should stay and recuperate. Yu Muyan said with a smile.
After another two days, the relief food that everyone had been looking forward to day and night finally arrived, and the mayor of the town waited at the entrance of the town with Hui Yan early in the morning, thinking that there would be several large wagons of food, but in the end they only saw two officials carrying a lonely carriage slowly coming.
"This official, is that the amount of food allocated from above?" asked the mayor cautiously.
"That's all. The official replied impatiently.
"That's enough for our whole village. Hui Yan complained.
"Too little, too little, you don't want it, let's pull it back, naturally there are other people who want it." With that, the official pulled up the carriage and was about to leave.
"No, no, no, we didn't mean that, thank you two officials, we'll accept it. The two of you have worked hard all the way, hurry up and go into the house to drink some tea and rest. The mayor hurriedly curryed favor.
Although the number is small, after all, it is better than nothing.
"We're not available, we're going to send the next one, this damn flood, flooding several places, is busy with us. With that, the official asked Hui Yan to unload the grain and then drove the carriage back to the city.
Looking at the two bags of grain on the ground, the mayor sighed.
How do I divide this?
What is going on in the imperial court? Don't you know the severity of our disaster?
Could it be that he was detained by some corrupt officials without permission?
"No, I have to go into the city to talk to the government, just such a little food, it's not enough at all, I'll go and ask for more." Seeing the mayor's helpless expression, Hui Yan made up his mind and said.
After all, I am also an official catcher, and I have the responsibility to understand clearly, if someone is really corrupt and perverts the law, even if he fights for my life, I will bring him to justice and take back what belongs to us.
Hui Yan secretly swore in his heart.
"Then you be careful, Hui Yan, don't be strong, it's rare for us in Whitewater Town to meet such a good catcher as you, you must not have anything wrong. The mayor of the town instructed Hui Yan.
"Don't worry, mayor, I'm in control. With that, Hui Yan returned home to clean up, and then set off for Guizhou City, where the yamen of Baishui Town is located.
The mayor of the town silently took the two bags of grain back to the town and organized the distribution according to the severity of the disaster, but it was still a drop in the bucket.
I wonder if Hui Yu will be able to get new food soon?, the mayor asked himself.
