Holding hands to see the world

Chapter 430 Set fire
"Stop, don't run!"

A scolding sound came from afar, anger was filled with fear, and fear seemed to be wrapped in anger.

The sky was dark, the wind was fierce, and the sky and the earth were connected by a rain curtain. On the endless land, two figures were seen getting closer and closer from a distance.

One ran forward, the other pursued closely, and the two risked their lives chasing in the heavy rain.

The figure in front ran more and more slowly, and it seemed that he was about to be unable to hold on. He gritted his teeth and turned around and entered the swamp.

There were many dangers above the swamp, and it was raining heavily at this time, the man fell into the swamp all of a sudden, and did not dare to move again.

A woman was chasing after her, standing at the edge of the swamp, looking at the villain in the swamp who no longer dared to move rashly, took a deep breath, and said, "Are you still running?"

In the mud was an eight or nine-year-old child. At this time, he stared at the woman fiercely with a stubborn face, "If you want to kill, kill it, why bother talking nonsense!"

The girl was very beautiful, her skin was as white as jade, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, she stood upright on the bank under the washing of the rain, she didn't look embarrassed at all, her eyes were clear but chilling.Although the boy's words were very strong, his trembling body revealed his fear.

"Why do you want to grab my things?" The woman's voice is also very pleasant, like a silver bell moving in the wind, clear and crisp, but it's too cold to be warm.

"I'll ask you for it if you don't give it to me. I'll take it to save my grandmother's life." The little boy poked his neck back, tears welling up in his eyes, "I've collected it in this swamp for eight days. Seeing that I was about to succeed, but you snatched it from the sky, I am naturally unwilling."

The woman frowned, "You are incompetent yourself, and I attracted this little thing. Without me, you would not be able to catch it even if you waited a year."

The young man was angry, "Nonsense, obviously I discovered it first."

The boy even risked his own life to protect this thing, the woman looked at him, "You want it to save people?"

Hearing the woman's question, the little boy nodded hurriedly, "My grandmother had a lot of carbuncles and sores. I heard that this kind of fish can cure this strange disease. I asked them again and they said that there is this kind of fish here. came to catch."

The woman stared at the child as if thinking about something, and after a long time, she took out a long rope from her bag and threw it to him, "Catch it, I'll come up to you, and I'll give you this little thing. But, next time Before stealing something from someone, you must first explain the reason, if you say no need to grab it, maybe I will give it to you."

The little boy didn't believe it, he hesitated and refused to come up, the woman was not in a hurry, and continued to say: "Although Huayu can cure ulcers and sores, it also needs other medicinal materials, do you have it?"

"I'm very poor." The little boy was so sad that he was about to cry, "I was raised by my grandmother, and my parents don't want me anymore. I won't let my grandmother have trouble."

"Come up, if you stay any longer, you will be in a hurry if your grandmother can't find you."

The little boy thought for a while, gritted his teeth and pulled the rope, but was pulled up by the woman.

The smell in the swamp was unpleasant, and there was a stench coming from the boy. He stood aside a little embarrassed.

The woman didn't seem to care, "Where is your home? I know some medical skills."

The little boy was very excited, and pointed to the mountain in front of him, "It's on the other side of the mountain, sister, do you really know how to heal? You cure my grandmother and I'll treat you like a horse."

The woman showed a rare smile when she heard the words, "That's no need, hurry up, you and I will fall ill in the rain like this."

The little boy shouted, and Sa Yazi ran away, still holding the slippery fish tightly in his hand.

The rain stopped slowly.

After turning over the mountain, the woman obviously couldn't take it anymore, and the two sat on a big rock to rest.

"Sister, what's your name?" The boy ate the pancake the woman gave him, it was a bit hard, but he was already hungry for several meals, and he still found it delicious.

"My surname is Mu."

That's right, this woman is Mu Lianwan, who came to Nanliang alone a year ago, and traveled alone in the desolate and mysterious land of Nanliang to find the medicinal materials for refining medicine. Feeling very interesting, I have been delaying my trip back home.

"Mu? This surname is rare in Nanliang. Sister Mu, where is your family?" The little boy was very talkative, and he had no scruples when he got acquainted with Lianwan, and asked about everything.

Lianwan didn't want to reveal that she was from Daxia, so she smiled, "I'm home all over the world, so I don't care where I go."

"It turns out that my sister is also lonely, similar to me. Sister, you can live in my house when you arrive. Although you are a little poor, there is still a place for you to live in."

Lian Wan just smiled and did not agree, "What's your name?"

"My name is Zhengjiu, and my sister can call me Xiaojiu."

"Okay, Xiaojiu." Lian Wan stood up, "It's getting dark, let's go."

The mountain road was muddy and it was even more difficult to walk in the dark. Zhengjiu hurriedly stood up and walked in front of Lianwan to lead the way. The two chatted as they walked. It caused a few laughs.

Arriving at Zhengjiu's house, looking at this not-so-big Zhuangzi, it looked like a spinning top entrenched in a small valley at the foot of the mountain under the night sky.

"Zhengjiu, Zhengjiu, you are back, your grandmother is in a hurry, go back and have a look." An old woman in the village yelled loudly when she saw Zhengjiu from a distance.

Zheng Jiu hurriedly waved his hands, "Aunt Ani, I caught Hua Yu, I caught Hua Yu."

"Zhengjiu is really capable. Your grandmother will be fine now." Aunt Ani spoke with a loud smile, saw Lianwan out of the corner of her eyes, and asked loudly, "Who is the girl behind you?"

"It's the elder sister who helped me catch Huayu. She also has medical skills. She came to treat my grandmother. She is a very good person." Nine's home.

Zhengjiu's house is not big, it is a house made of thatch and bamboo, it looks old and dilapidated.The ground was washed by the heavy rain and was muddy. Zhengjiu moved stones under his feet, and said to Lianwan embarrassedly: "When it rains, there will be water accumulation, so we can only go over with stones, sister be careful."

Lianwan helped Zhengjiu move a few cushions under his feet, and walked all the way to the front of the thatched cottage.Zhengjiu opened the door cautiously, and shouted happily: "Grandma, I'm back."

"Zheng Jiu..."

An old voice came from the room, Zhengjiu rushed in at once, Lianwan looked around the room, except for a table, a dilapidated cupboard, and a few dilapidated stools, it was really barren .

Lian Wan could tell that this was a very poor family.

Soon Zhengjiu came out, with tears in his eyes, looked at Lianwan and said, "Sister, sit down and rest first, and I will cook. My grandmother is not in good health, so she can't come out to see you. After dinner , can you show my grandmother and teach me how to use slippery fish to cure diseases?"

Lianwan looked at Zhengjiu, "You go cook and give me the fish, and I'll treat your grandmother."

Upon hearing this, Zhengjiu joyfully untied the purse from her waist and handed it to Lianwan, "Thank you sister."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll take it and run away?"

"My sister is a good person, so she wouldn't do such a thing."

Zhengjiu happily went to cook, and Lianwan took the slippery fish into the inner room.An old man with white hair was lying on the bed next to the bed. He looked at Lian Wan and smiled, "Girl, thank you for saving Zheng Jiuyi's life."

The old man's face and exposed arms were covered with carbuncles and sores, some of which had already exposed disgusting pus, and the whole room had an unpleasant smell of decay.

"He is a filial child, he is worthy of help. Don't move, I will take a look for you first." Sitting in front of the bed, Lian Wan took out a small silver needle from her purse and gently opened the sores on the old man's body .

Zhengjiu's family was running out of surplus food, so he still took out all the rice and put it into the pot, but even so, what he cooked was not rice porridge but rice soup. He was a little frustrated, but now he had no other way .

Carrying the rice soup into the house, he saw that in a crock next to Lianwan, the fish had been punctured with its red back, and blood flowed out, and what was added to the blood was fragrant. It smells very good.

Lian Wan wiped the sores on the old man's body with this blood, and wrapped the wound with cloth strips, only to hear her say: "The condition is very serious, so I can only leave it like this for now, and tomorrow I will find some herbs to add, and it will last for half a month." It’s almost there, old man, don’t worry, you will recover soon.”

The happiest thing was Zhengjiu, the old man lying on the bed looked at Lianwan, "Thank you, girl, you are really a kind person, I have caused you trouble."

"It's a little effort, no trouble." Lianwan said flatly, stood up and went to wash her hands, and took the slippery fish out.The slippery fish is shaped like an ordinary eel, but it has a red back, and it makes a sound like a human fumbling.Tomorrow, add a few herbs and stew the fish for people to eat, which can cure the illness of the elderly.

The slippery fish couldn't be left dead, so she was careful when pricking its skin for blood.

Zhengjiu brought rice soup and went in to feed the old man. When he came out, he saw Lian Wan staring at the rice soup in a daze, so he said a little embarrassedly: "Sister, there is only so much rice at home. I will go to the dock tomorrow to move goods. If I earn money, I can pay for it." I've bought rice, so you can eat some while you live."

Lianwan sighed inwardly, "You usually eat this to satisfy your hunger?" How can you be full with this?No wonder Zheng Jiu is as thin as a monkey.

"This one is also very good. You can't even drink some rice soup, so you can only eat wild vegetables." Zhengjiu said hurriedly, "If it wasn't for the empress Zhaoji who wanted to build the Wangxing Tower, the king would levy people's husbands and increase taxes to build the building. Public grievances are everywhere, how can the life of the people be so sad."

Lian Wan narrowed her eyes slightly, the king... Qian Shuyu?

"Who is Lady Zhaoji?" Lianwan doesn't remember such a person in her memory, only Qian Shuyu's face that deserves to be punched is in her mind.

"Ms. Zhaoji is the Lord's favorite woman. I heard that she looks like a fairy, but she is very beautiful." Zhengjiu finished speaking and looked at Lianwan, "But she must not be as beautiful as my sister, who is the most beautiful I have ever seen. "

Lianwan patted Zhengjiu's head lightly, but she remembered the figure of that man many years ago in her mind. Speaking of which, the two hadn't seen each other for many years.

Long eyebrows in red clothes, shining elegantly, that man is not so enchanting, no woman standing in front of him, I am afraid that she would not have the courage to be proud.

Lianwan's expression was still upright, sitting on the roof of Zhengjiu's house, staring at the front from a distance, the night was dark, and the breeze sent fragrance.

In such a quiet night, thinking of this person is really a little irrational, Lian Wan clapped her hands and jumped off the eaves, Zheng Jiu cleaned up her room, it was simple but very clean.
