Qingchuan History

Chapter 860
The two carriages parted ways in the woods at the second watch.

There is only one locust tree, but the huge crown of weeping flowers seems to cover the whole forest, and the rich aroma increases as the night deepens.Ruan Xueyin and Jing Tingge leaned against the car window and looked at each other in the middle of the night amidst the fragrance, saying goodbye silently.

"This is much more fragrant than Huaifu. One tree is worth a hundred." In the end, Jing Tingge was unwilling to let this go, and wanted to say something.

Ruan Xueyin smiled, "This tree is old." Then she went to look, "It will be there in 100 years."

Both of them have researched on flower plants, Jing Tingge pouted, "I'm afraid it's been 200 years. Before you came, I sat down, bored, and watched carefully for a while."

Ruan Xueyin nodded. "Go."

Jing Tingge opened and shut his mouth, and finally said softly: "Be careful."

After all, there is a distance, but if the volume is lower, you can't hear clearly.But Ruan Xueyin recognized it at a glance, and said loudly: "You too."

I became more and more ignorant and reserved.Jing Tingge hated it very much, closed the car window and ordered to set off, all the way east.

Ruan Xueyin went west and sat by the door to guide the guards driving the car until the dark night ended and the sky brightened.

It was a foothills.Based on Yunxi's limited knowledge of the new area, and based on the time and distance they spent starting from Suoning, going northward and then westward in one day and one night, it could only be Dafengbao.

"The eastern foot of Dafengbao. It still belongs to our country, and it is also close to the old western region. It is far away from the battlefield. It is desolate and suitable for you to take refuge temporarily." Ruan Xueyin said softly, looking into the distance, and saw two or three houses.

"Your Highness means—"

"The road ahead is dangerous. You can't follow me all the time. You can do it, even if you go to court. The guards will stay here, so you can stay at ease until the situation of all parties is more stable and you can make your own arrangements for the next step."

"How can Your Highness alone—"

"Let's talk about it later." Ruan Xueyin didn't fully think about whether she really didn't bring anyone with her, but the most urgent thing was to settle down with her daughter first.

She watched the sky at night, used the obsidian curtain for days, and even tried various divination techniques-she is not good at divination, so she just wanted peace of mind when she was in an emergency, and finally settled here to avoid disaster.

Therefore, there is not only a sign of peace and peace, but also some kind of enlightenment, which may answer one thing she has doubted for a long time.

House two and three, looking close, got out of the car and walked, but it took some time.

It was a farming family, and a woman in her late forties was squatting in the yard drying grains, spreading them all over the ground, making a lot of noise.Soon a fat girl ran out from the house. She was not small, but her face was immature, her eyes were bright and empty.

Ruan Xueyin tapped on the chaifei to explain her intention.

The woman rubbed her hands on her dress, at a loss, and when she saw Yunxi handing out a lot of money, she became even more frightened.

"Ma'am, don't be afraid. We also went north to escape because of the war. The current situation between the two countries is like this. It is dangerous to cross Dafeng Fortress. It is better to come to Donglu for shelter." Ruan Xueyin was exhausted after days of hard work. I still want to go to my master, but I really can't bear the suffering of the young girl, passing by your house, seeing your kind face, so I entrust you." She said so, and she wanted to bow down,

"Ma'am, please—"

The woman looked at Ruan Xueyin's full body and demeanor, and knew that she must be a noble family member in a big city. Hearing that she called her master, she felt that she might be an official family member.

Yunxi didn't expect that His Royal Highness wanted to kneel and beg, but he was holding Chao Chao in his hands, so he couldn't stop her.

"Okay, okay." Ruan Xueyin knelt down, and the woman had to kneel down too, and hurriedly agreed, "Don't worry, miss, should I call you miss?" Then she went to look at the exquisite female doll in Yunxi's hand, "Miss is here, we must I take care of it with all my heart, but my family is poor, and during wartime, even if I have gold, I can't buy any good food."

Ruan Xueyin didn't care about it, and hurriedly pushed the heavy money into the woman's arms, "It's okay. Madam is kind-hearted and willing to take her in. I am very grateful. It's so chaotic outside, it's enough to keep her safe." She went to look at the fat girl again.

"Oh, this is my little girl." The woman hurriedly said, "I was born a little stupid. Although I am not sensible, I never mess up. Don't worry, my lord, she will not hurt Miss."

Ruan Xueyin has already seen the girl's illness from a distance, if she is not in a hurry, she can have a diagnosis and see if she can help.

But there is no time.

And Yunxi and the guards will always be there, as long as the family is willing to take her in, she doesn't worry about Chao Chao's safety.

There was the sound of footsteps during the conversation, and looking back, two men were approaching this side, one behind the other, with hoes on their shoulders and farm tools beside them in their hands.

"That's my man and my son."

If it was an ordinary father and son, there would be no pause in this sentence.

The short middle-aged man in front is of course her husband, and the one in the back is tall and tall, with a good-looking figure. Although he is carrying a handbag on his shoulders, he is still looking at the road with his head half down, unable to hide his appearance.

Another reason for Ruan Xueyin to choose this place, that suspicion, the so-called teaching, is actually what she has been watching, observing, and speculating on the obsidian curtain, a secret.

Just like Xia Yaoyao taught Ruan Moxi: Stargazers pick up the secrets of Zhouhe, they can only hide them in their hearts, and they should not be easily announced.What's more, what the astrology shows, and even everyone's astrology map shows, are all traces, intermittent spider threads, which need to be connected and pondered repeatedly before there is a possibility of comprehension.

She came here precisely to verify whether the comprehension of hundreds of days of contemplation, reading and watching is correct.

It's a pity that she didn't look for the portrait before leaving Jidu. She only had a glimpse of that person's appearance in her mind, and it was a full-body portrait with very vague facial features.

Follow the destiny.At the invitation of the hostess, she went to stand in the courtyard, saw two men approaching, listened to the woman explaining the situation to her husband, and silently turned her eyes to her "son".

It is indeed tall and beautiful, with a face full of the simplicity of living in the mountains and farming all the year round, but there is light hidden deep in the pupils of the eyes, and the whole person stands between the narrow firewood doors, shining like a thousand suns.

The brilliance of a thousand suns, Chunfeng used this word to describe that person.Ruan Xueyin tried to evaluate his facial features calmly and without any personal expectations, and warned herself that there were similarities in others, especially since she had conjectures, absolutely, definitely not to rely on the looks of Gu Xinglang or Chunyue.

But it was unavoidable to find two or three shadows of Gu Xinglang and Chunyue between his eyebrows and eyes.

The man looked to be in his thirties.In fact, his face is not frosty, but those eyes reveal that he has experienced many things in the world, and he has definitely not lived in this corner for decades.

The host and his wife looked like they were just in their forties.

Where does such a big son come from.

The sun-like man noticed that the beauty was staring at him, but he was not uncomfortable, so he turned around generously and nodded his head in salute.

But she didn't look at Ruan Xueyin's face from the beginning to the end, she was very polite.

The woman's husband was a little reluctant at first, but he had no objection when he saw the heavy money.The guards were busy moving the princess's belongings into the courtyard, the woman led Yunxi to choose the house and tidy it up, a bunch of people came in and out, and the man also put down the farm tools to help.

"Isn't the young master from here? I feel like I've seen it somewhere before." Only Ruan Xueyin was still standing in the corner, speaking abruptly.

She had to be direct, because she was settling in and leaving.

And this man is dressed in a rough cloth peasant, and his hands are still dirty, which really doesn't match the word "gongzi".

The man was very surprised, he still didn't look at Ruan Xueyin for fear of being impolite, and bowed his head, "Your honor made a mistake."

He said "false recognition", not "misrecognition", and the choice of words and sentences is particular.The voice is also pleasant, and the tone is frustrating and methodical. It is definitely not a villager.

"The young master really doesn't recognize me. I don't know the young master either. But you and I should have many mutual acquaintances, friends, especially relatives."

No matter how anxious Ruan Xueyin tried to seize all the moments to complete the identification, it was impossible to confess her identity—if not, it would only be a bad thing for the family to know that she was Empress Qi and that she was taking in the princess.

The man finally raised his eyes because of these words, and looked at the beauty in front of him.

She is really charming, with a graceful attitude, her partial eyes are as deep as water, and she seems to be able to see through people at a glance.

There was a lot of bustle inside and outside the courtyard, and some of the people who came in and out had a glimpse of what was going on here. Although they felt weird, it was not good to rush up and ask.

"In front of Yiren Hall, the reeds are as high as a wall, and I can't let go of it for ten years. The national war is raging, and the country is about to fall. I don't know if the young master has forgotten it, or has other secrets. But at this very time, I think it is better to go out than to stand by. .”

The man's expression is very strange.

It's not like there are hills and valleys in the chest but they are deliberately hidden.

It's not half incomprehensible and absolutely at a loss.

It is an emotion between the two, understanding and not understanding, so that panic, and hesitation, for a long time said:

"Are you sure you want to take me out?"

When such an older and taller man said "take", Ruan Xueyin was a little speechless. "Can you still ride a horse and draw a bow?" asked again abruptly.

The man shook his head: "It hasn't happened in ten years. It probably won't happen."

Ruan Xueyin didn't know what mood she was in, she was relieved and flustered, and finally smiled: "It's okay. You can just accompany me. They," she looked at the guards,
"You have to protect the children here."

Hearing this, the man seemed to have just realized something, and thought for a while: "We are not in an important place, not adjacent to any big cities and counties, and the location is sunken in the mountains. Since I heard about the war, no troops have passed by, so I think it's safe. You can rest assured."

She took it as his consent and went into the house to see Yunxi and the child.The woman was also in the house, Ruan Xueyin said casually that she needed someone to drive her to the master, and wanted to hire a son.

"It's the summer harvest, the farming is busy at home, and the kid hasn't been out of this mountain for ten years, I'm afraid—"

Ruan Xueyin immediately grasped the key point in this sentence, and looked at her suspiciously.

The woman froze, invited her to the side and said helplessly: "My lord doesn't know, this kid was picked up by us! You see, my daughter is only fifteen or sixteen, and I am just thirty-six this year. How can such a big son come from?" !"

"Pick it up?"

"You don't know. When I came here, I was covered with injuries, as if someone threw them at my door. My man didn't want to care about it. He planned to drag him away and let him die. At that time, there was a war at Fengtingguan , I thought it was a wounded soldier—hey, a soldier who has been a soldier is especially good at work. If this person can be rescued, if he wants to leave, we can't stop him. If he doesn't leave, staying is a treasure. To tell you the truth Said, I was thinking about it at the beginning, and wanted to promise my daughter to him in the future. My girl, you have also seen—"

Waiting for no one to marry.But the wounded soldier is likely to agree to repay his life-saving grace.

Ruan Xueyin didn't know what to say, so she just listened to the woman continue:

"It's not easy to cure. I've been lying down for more than a year. At least I can get up, but I'm a fool. I'm so angry that we are just like a girl. My brain is broken! How can we get married in the future? The two add up , It will drag us all the time! Finally, he is stupid, his hands and feet are still good, and he went to work in the fields in the third year. He, in those years, couldn't say a word a day, asked what his name was, where his home was, and couldn't answer all of them. He would be in a daze when he was not working, and when we thought about it, he also wanted to remember who he was! Think about it when he has nothing to do!"

"I just asked him if he would like to run this trip with me, but he said yes. Look, he's not stupid." Ruan Xueyin answered tentatively.

"That was later! In the past two years, I started to talk more, and the more I spoke, the more fluent my expression was, and I was much smarter. We thought, it was because his brain gradually recovered, and we were worried at first, afraid that he would remember that he was Whoever's home is where is going to leave." The woman laughed,

"But I stayed until today. Occasionally I also asked, do you want to go home, and he said, this is his home, we are his second parents, and the girl is his sister."

Speaking of this, the woman sighed, "It's a good thing. But he said that, and it's hard for us to talk about marriage. Seeing that the girl has reached her age——"

Ruan Xueyin didn't want to listen to the latter words if she knew what she wanted to know. She was really in a hurry and didn't have the time to accompany her.

"He looks so good. He went out with the nobleman and saw the world outside. I'm afraid he doesn't want to come back. Sigh"

The woman was still nagging in her ears, Ruan Xueyin reluctantly comforted her, thanked her for her kindness, promised to pay a lot of money when she came back to pick up the child, and said that she would help the girl to see a doctor and solve her life-long affairs.

The words coaxed the woman from ear to ear, and she agreed again and again.The sun was going west, Ruan Xueyin bid farewell to Chaochao Lagou, and said that she would pick her up with her father in a few days.

The carriage went out of the mountains and headed west again.

The man was driving outside, and Ruan Xueyin showed the way inside.This journey is not short, and there are many things that can be said slowly.
