Chapter 17

Ming Yu got out of the carriage, stepped on it, and with a "creak", the snow did not reach a few inches below her knees.Seeing it from the side, Liu Shenghe hurriedly said: "The mountain road is difficult, so the girl stays here. Mr. Xie and I go up the mountain to meet the old man. The old man knows that it is the girl who is coming, so he will definitely go down the mountain."

Ming Yu shook her head and said: "It's useless to stay here, I will go up with you, don't worry, Chief Steward, I can go."

Although Liu Shenghe couldn't see her expression, he could only hear the determination in her voice, so he had no choice but to agree, complaining to himself: "I blame me for not thinking carefully, I should take a soft sedan chair and let the girl go up the mountain..."

"Girl is young, I will carry it on my back."

Zhou's mother hurriedly said, and squatted down in front of Ming Yu.

Mingyu was moved, pulled up Zhou's mother and smiled, "Although I am a few years younger, I am not a person who can't walk like a jiao Didi. Why do you want my mother to carry me? Everyone hurried up the mountain to see me sooner." Grandfather is good." As he spoke, he pulled his feet out of the snow, raised his head, and met Xie Zuiqiao who was standing sideways to him in front of him.Through the layer of purple tulle covering the face, half of the boy's face can be vaguely seen.Although it's hazy and not very clear, just seeing this face-to-face is really eye-catching. No wonder Zhou's mother kept talking about it after seeing it.

Xie Zuiqiao had turned his head just now, looking at the Xiling Mountain in front of him, his eyes were full of thousands of feet of snow clouds and ten thousand branches of Qiongshu.Suddenly, I heard her talking with Liu Shenghe and that Zhou's mother again, the voice was soft and pleasant to the ear, as if being pulled by a silk thread, I couldn't help but look back again, but I didn't want to but saw a face with her. everywhere.

Although Miss Ruan's face was covered with a purple veil, Xie Zuiqiao felt that she was also looking at him under that veil.Just as she was about to avoid her gaze, she lowered her head first, stretched out a hand wearing a black soft leather glove, supported Chunyuan beside her, and headed towards the entrance at the foot of the mountain.When I got to my side, I saw her stop, turned around slightly and gave a salute, and said: "Greetings, young master. I said goodbye to Lingmei last time, and I still think about it. Please, young master, please entrust me to tell Ling Greetings from my sister."

Xie Zuiqiao couldn't see her face, and when he heard her speak, he was as soft as before.I just don't know why, but at this moment, I suddenly feel that the girl in front of me is showing a trace of alienation and calmness that doesn't match her age from head to toe. I was a little stunned, and saw that she had once again supported the arm of the girl next to her. Walking forward, because of her petite stature, when walking on the snow, it was a bit difficult to look at her back, and after a few more glances at the fiery red back in the white snow, she actually had the slightest desire to hug her and walk, even herself. Startled, he felt an extremely awkward and weird feeling in his heart, he hurriedly looked away, and strode towards the foot of the mountain with great strides, causing the snow under his feet to splash non-stop with his footsteps.

The snow in the mountains is thicker than that on the flat ground, and the way up the mountain is extremely difficult.Liu Shenghe and his accompanying servants went ahead, and when snow blocked the road, they used the shovel they brought to clear the way. It was not until half a day later that they finally reached Hanqing Temple.It was almost evening, and the sky was getting dark again.

The gate of Hanqing Temple was closed tightly, and the surroundings were silent.A jackdaw was parked on an old snow-covered locust tree at the door. Startled by the footsteps of the approaching person, he glanced sideways, and with a strange cry, he flapped his wings and soared into the air, bringing the dead branches with him. Snow fell and splashed.

Liu Shenghe went forward and knocked on the door knocker. After a while, the young monks from the temple came out after hearing the sound, and saluted with palms together.Hearing the old man Jiang's question, he said with a smile: "After noon, the old man went to Meifeng with the book boy, and he hasn't returned yet."

Hearing this, Liu Shenghe looked back at Ming Yu.

Ming Yu just had a hard time climbing the mountain, and at the moment, he is feverish all over, and he is still out of breath.As soon as he heard that his grandfather had actually gone to Meifeng, his heart jumped wildly and he said in a trembling voice: "Quick, let's go to Meifeng!"

Liu Shenghe was taken aback by her nervous voice, and unconsciously glanced at Xie Zuiqiao beside him, seeing that he was also looking at his young lady, his expression seemed to be slightly confused.

Ming Yu was extremely anxious, shook off Chun Yuan's hand, turned around and ran towards Mei Feng.Only then did Liu Shenghe come back to his senses, and hurriedly shouted at his followers, telling them to follow up, and he also rushed up.

Ming Yu was already exhausted, she just wanted to sit down and take a breather, but at this moment she only hated her sprinting, and just wanted to be able to reach Meifeng in no time.Suddenly his legs went limp, his feet were tripped by a mass of snow, and he couldn't hold back his momentum, so he threw himself onto the snow, and even the curtain hat rolled out of the mountain path, hanging to the side of the stream. On a branch, dangling non-stop.

Zhou's mother and Chunyuan screamed, and hurriedly took a step forward to help her up.

"Why are you so impatient, girl!"

Mother Zhou felt distressed, and complained while patting the snow on her body.

Ming Yu didn't care about anything else at the moment, turned her head to look at Liu Shenghe and Xie Zuiqiao, and said in a hurry: "Master, Mr. Xie, I can't go fast, so please hurry up to Meifeng and take my grandfather down." !"

Xie Zuiqiao only saw her face at this moment.Perhaps because of climbing the mountain, her cheeks are slightly tinged with peach halo, there is a wave of light flowing in her beautiful eyes, the corners of her eyes are slightly raised, her eyelashes are thick and thick, and there are still some crystal white snow left on her eyebrows due to a fall, out of thin air. A little more charming.Although it's just a little girl's face, it's like... a bright pearl, dizzy, and a beautiful jade.

Xie Zuiqiao's mind suddenly popped up these words that he didn't know where he read them before, but he thought it was most appropriate to use this girl.For a moment, I couldn't move my eyes away.It wasn't until she saw her bright eyes looking at him with some panic, that she realized it. She laughed secretly at why she would be so rude to a little girl who was only a few years older than her sister, and immediately nodded in response.

Seeing Liu Shenghe and Xie Zuiqiao leading a few people up the mountain path, and their figures quickly disappearing at a corner of the rock wall, Ming Yu let out a sigh of relief and continued walking up the peak with Zhou's mother and Chunyuan.

Xie Zuiqiao looked back, and could no longer see the flaming figure of Miss Ruan's family, but there was still a little doubt in his heart, but he was still a little puzzled. It's also common for Xue Tanmei to enter the painting. I don't know why, but I always feel that your eldest lady's behavior is a bit unusual, as if she knows the old lady..." He stopped in the middle of speaking, after all, it was not a good word, and asked, " What did your eldest lady say?"

Liu Shenghe naturally understood what he meant, not to mention Xie Zuiqiao, even he himself felt this way, but he didn't dare to say it.Shaking her head, she said: "The eldest girl didn't mention anything this time, she just said that she wanted to see the old man sooner. She is extremely capable and thoughtful. Since she is so anxious, there must be a reason..."

Xie Zuiqiao was silent for a moment, then asked again: "How far is it to Meifeng?"

Liu Shenghe was about to answer when he suddenly stopped, pointed to the front and said, "There is someone! Could it be that the old man and the others have gone down the mountain?"

Xie Zuiqiao raised his head, and sure enough, he saw a figure shaking on the top of the mountain road in the distance. After taking a closer look, his tone was already a bit dignified: "It's not good, something happened!"

Seeing that he left these words, Liu Shenghe has already stepped several steps away, and hastily called the people behind him to follow closely, catching up with the steps of the Young Master of the General's Mansion in front.When he got closer, he could see clearly, and his expression changed drastically.

On the mountain road opposite, the book boy Banqing was staggering and carrying an old man on his back and hurried down the mountain. The carried old man's head was on Banqing's shoulders, his face was bloodstained, it was his old Mrs. Jiang.

"Grandpa!"

Liu Shenghe was shocked, and he yelled loudly, Banqing heard the sound from the opposite side, raised his head suddenly, saw Liu Shenghe and the others, and fell down on the mountain path as if he lost his strength.

Liu Shenghe rushed to the front in three steps at a time, and supported Jiang Kui with trembling hands. Seeing that his eyes were closed and he was already unconscious, there was a small finger-long cut on his forehead, and blood was still gushing out. The foot scolded: "Idiot, idiot! The old man is so good, how did you become like this!"

Banqing just let out a wow, grinned and burst into tears, and said intermittently: "The old man went up to Meifeng, and saw the plum blossoms blooming well, so he painted in the pavilion above when he came. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, I persuaded the old man to go down. But he didn't listen to my persuasion, he made seven or eight paintings in one go before he put down the pen. When I was just coming down from the peak, I carried the painting box in front of me, and the old man leaned on his stick behind me. When I heard a sound, I looked back and saw that the old man had already fallen Rolled down into the ditch next to it, his head was bleeding, and he fell unconscious on the spot..."

"Put the old man down!"

Xie Zuiqiao interrupted Banqing, took Jiang Kui, took off the fur cloak from his body, wrapped him up and laid him flat on the mountain steps, put his fingers on his pulse for a moment.

Liu Shenghe looked at him holding his breath.

"Did you bring medicine with you when you came out?"

Xie Zuiqiao turned around and asked.

Liu Shenghe nodded hastily: "I brought it. Last night, the boy didn't invite back to the doctor, he only brought back some medicine. Fortunately, he listened to the elder girl and brought the medicine here when he went out this morning!" The entourage carrying the medicine took the medicine bag and handed it over.

Xie Zuiqiao opened it and took a look, and saw that there were some common herbal medicines for treating traumatic bleeding, and there was also a mortar in the pouch.He picked Agrimony and Bletilla striata, smashed them up and applied them on the wound, then tore off the cloth from the corner of his clothes, and bound the wound.

"For the time being, we can only stop the bleeding in this way. Go down the mountain quickly and then seek treatment."

Xie Zuiqiao picked up Jiang Kui on his back and hurried down the peak.Liu Shenghe hurriedly followed, and it didn't take long to meet Ming Yu and the others who were still rushing up the peak.

"Grandfather!"

Although he had already prepared for the worst, Mingyu was still terrified when he saw the old man with his head bleeding and unconscious. After he called out, his eyes were red and his throat was already choked up.

"The old lady's pulse is still healthy, and the bleeding just stopped. Hurry up and go down the mountain to the medical center for treatment. It should be fine."

Xie Zuiqiao glanced at her and comforted her without stopping.

The days are short in winter, and when we reach the foot of the mountain, the sky is already dark.Jiang Kui was put on the carriage, and the group hurried to Mengcheng.

Ming Yu sat next to his grandfather, gently wiping the frozen blood on his face with a cloth towel wet with tea, burning with anxiety.Seeing that his lips were chapped, she took the teacup from Chunyuan's hand, supported his head with Zhou's mother, and slowly fed him water.The carriage bumped, and most of the tea was spilled out, which wet the edge of the big cloak covering him.Seeing the old man's eyes closed all the time, and his face pale under the lamp, Mingyu finally couldn't help it, tears dripped down one by one.

"Girl, don't be like this. The old man is lucky, and he will definitely get better."

Zhou's mother couldn't bear it, and hurriedly comforted her.

Ming Yu stretched out her hand and wiped her eyes indiscriminately, she was really blaming herself to the extreme.Why didn't you think of this sooner?Even if he had come one day earlier, his grandfather would not have suffered such hardships.

At the beginning of Haishi, the carriage finally entered Mengcheng and stopped at the gate of Xinglin Medical Center.The doctor had already closed the door to take a rest. When he heard someone knock on the door, he went to open it. Knowing that Jiang Kui had fallen and injured himself in the mountains, he let him in hastily. It was broken and the tibia was fractured. Fortunately, the auspicious person and the heavens stopped the bleeding first, and it was delivered in time. If there is a delay, it will be hard to tell." After finishing speaking, he hurriedly dealt with it.

Liu Shenghe let out a long breath, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, glanced at Mingyu, but couldn't help thinking of Si Nahan again.Secretly thought, could it be that there is God's will in the dark, that the grandparent and grandson share the same mind, and that's why today's chance and coincidence saved the old man?
The doctor's movements were very skillful. He cleaned the wound on his forehead, applied the medicine cake, tied the bandage, and was busy treating the wound on his leg.

"Look, girl, the old man is about to wake up!"

Chunyuan suddenly called out.

Ming Yu hurriedly approached, seeing Grandfather's eyelids twitching slightly, as if trying to open them, she was overwhelmed with surprise, hurriedly stretched out her hand to pat his cheek, and called softly, "Grandfather, I'm Mingyu, I'm here to see you..."

Jiang Kui finally opened his eyes, and after a short moment of daze, he saw a girl's bright and beautiful face in front of his eyes, and suddenly he came to his senses.

"Girl Yu... why are you here..." Jiang Kui struggled to ask, and when he spoke, he felt throbbing pain all over his body, and then he remembered the previous scene, "I... fell into the mountain stream gone?"

Ming Yu's sorrow and joy were intertwined, if someone was not around, she would have thrown herself into his arms immediately, her eyes became hot again.

"Old man, it's good if you wake up," Zhou's mother was also very happy, and she kept chattering, "Fortunately, the girl must come to see the old man, so this disaster can be avoided. The old man is really lucky. It must be God has eyes, this is what makes the girl and the old man connect with each other..."

"Mother Zhou, grandpa just woke up, I'm afraid he's still weak, let him rest first."

When Ming Yu raised her head, she met Xie Zuiqiao's black eyes that looked like lacquer, seeing that there seemed to be a hint of curiosity in his eyes looking at her, she felt a little uneasy, and hurriedly stopped her. Zhou's mother's words.
