Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Town of Northern Chu
readx; Yu Qing and Yi Qi drove for several hours, and when they arrived at the Northern Chu town, it was already midday. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info at this time the sky has been slightly bright, and the night has gradually faded. When Yu Qing and Yiqi were on a journey together, they always felt that this darkness was boundless, and no matter how much they ran, they couldn't run out of this dark night. And now, it was finally almost dawn, and Yu Qing felt that the dark clouds that were pressing on his heart had finally dispersed. Yu Qing has been running behind Yiqi, at first he couldn't catch up, but after a long time, the horse was burdened and ran slowly, but Yu Qing didn't want to overtake them. Both of them have injuries on their bodies, and if anyone can't support them and falls, they can catch them in the back.
When Yu Qing and Yiqi entered the town, the sky was still bright. Yu Qing saw that Yiqi slowed down the horse's speed, and also slowed down the horse's speed. This town is a small town located between North Chu and South Xi, but unlike the average border town, this southern town is unusually quiet and peaceful. It was early in the morning, and the people who made breakfast in the town had already gotten up, and there were husbands and wives together, fathers and sons who made them together, and they made noodles under the faint candlelight, grinding soy milk, and steaming steamed buns. There was also a thick, peaceful atmosphere in the air. Yu Qing was about to cry, she had been in the palace for two years, and she hadn't been home for two years, and now when she looked at this town, she always felt like home.
She knew that Yiqi felt the same way, and she clearly saw that Yiqi, who had been tense all the time, instantly relaxed the stiff back the moment she stepped into this town. It's like a person who has been tired from a hard day, and when he comes home, he suddenly relaxes. Yu Qing Yuqing caught up with Yi Qi, and before he could say anything, he heard Yi Qi say in a sneering voice: "We are too dirty." ”
Hearing this, Yu Qing looked down at the outfit on his body, and then at Yiqi's. Indeed, they were all too dirty, and with a smell of blood, murderous, and worldly, they entered this town. Perhaps, when they arrive, they will completely change the town. Yiqi pointed to a small restaurant in front of him, and said lightly, "Let's go in and eat a bowl of noodles." ”
Yu Qing nodded, after running all night, she also wanted to rest. The two of them dismounted, Yiqi held the unconscious eldest princess, Yu Qing was empty-handed, and they entered the small restaurant like this.
The restaurant was busy with a husband and wife, the wife was preparing steamed dumplings and other breakfasts, and the husband was boiling water and steaming steamed buns. When they saw Yu Qing and Yiqi, they were also taken aback, and shouted, "Why did you get up so early to eat?" When they walked from the shadows to the light, the husband and wife in the small restaurant were stunned, too, Yiqi was covered in blood, and he was holding an unconscious woman with arrows stuck in her body, which would naturally frighten them, they had been simple all their lives, and they had never seen such a scene. The husband seemed to want to ask something, but the wife who was on the side clubbed him with her arm, and then walked out and said politely, "What do you want to eat?"
Yu Qing was about to answer, but Yiqi had already taken the lead in speaking, "You have everything here, let's have one each." ”
When the woman heard this, she answered, went to the kitchen, and began to get busy. The kitchen and the main hall are only five or six meters away, and the wall in the middle has been torn down in half to make it easier to serve food. Yu Qing and Yi Qi sat in the main hall, and they could be seen busy. Since the three of them arrived, the husband and wife in the kitchen have become noticeably uncomfortable. The man had secretly looked back at them several times.
After a short wait, the man brought a basket of hot buns. Yu Qing swallowed happily, picked up the chopsticks, and was about to eat, the man walked a few steps, but turned back again, and hesitated to Yiqi and Xuan Che, "Two, say something that shouldn't be said, this injured girl, if you don't bandage the wound, I'm afraid you will ........."
He didn't say the rest of the words, but Yu Qing and Yiqi also understood. Yu Qing hurriedly asked, "May I ask if there is a Lang Zhong around here?"
The man looked at the eldest princess covered in blood, hesitated for a while, and finally stammered, "Humble Jing happens to know a little about medicine, and there are herbs for treating external injuries at home." ”
Yu Qing was overjoyed, stood up and said, "Then can you bother the two of you to help her deal with her wounds?"
The woman who was busy working inside also came out, looked at the seriously injured eldest princess, and sighed, "It's naturally not difficult for me to help you, and please don't embarrass the two of us." We are all ordinary people who do small business, and we can't afford to offend high-ranking officials and nobles. Yu Qing knew that his husband and wife were taboo against them, and indeed, if there were pursuers, it would indeed bring bad luck to this honest couple. Yu Qingyi sighed and said, "Please bandage her wounds, and we'll leave after eating." ”
The husband and wife glanced at each other, and their eyes showed surprise. The woman hurriedly washed her hands from a copper basin, and then said to Yiki, "You send her to the backyard." Then he turned back to the man and said, "Go and prepare a basin of hot water to drink, a clean dress, and I'll change it for the girl." ”
The man listened to her words, immediately took action, fetched a basin of hot water, and then brought it to the backyard, but Yiqi was still stupid, and sat still. Seeing this, Yu Qing ran to Yiqi, picked up the eldest princess, and then picked her up and ran to the backyard. When she entered the backyard, the man had already left, and the backyard was the backyard of a typical southern family, surrounded by low stones, and the yard was surrounded by clusters of dense bamboo forests on the left and right, and a large pond behind it. At this time, the sky has changed from bright to white, and the yard is also very bright. Standing here, Yu Qing could see that many families in the town had opened their doors, some by their own ponds, some by the river, and washed. Others, who had risen earlier, only two or three miles from the town, had already gotten up early to go to the fields with hoes.
Yu Qing looked at this scene, and then looked at himself in embarrassment, only to feel panicked in his heart. The woman called Yu Qing and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and help me take off her clothes, and I'll help her clean her wounds." ”
Yu Qing came back to her senses and ran to the eldest princess. The eldest princess was placed on a princess chair by her, her head hung softly, her breathing was a little intermittent, and she was also a little short, Yu Qing took advantage of the dawn to look at the wounds on her body in no less than ten places, large and small, and felt very guilty, so she immediately started to help the eldest princess remove the clothes on her body. The trauma suffered by the eldest princess, because of excessive bleeding, had already bonded to the wound, and Yu Qing was not good at tearing it off, so she only looked at the woman who was dispensing medicine on the side.
