Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

And I, of course, can't sleep.

When I usually sleep, there is a hard thing on my chest, which often makes me feel uncomfortable, but now, it is taken away, but I am a bit accustomed to it.

Reaching out and touching the chest, it seemed empty, not just a finger.

Qing Han, what are you thinking?

What exactly do you want to do?

It is impossible for you not to know what this finger means to me and to you. You take it from my hands. Is our road really coming to an end?

If that's the case, where should I go next?

I always thought that after experiencing so many changes in the Imperial City, I already know how to live and which way to go. In fact, I have been living well and walking firmly; but until now Then I suddenly discovered that when he no longer communicated with me, the road suddenly became bumpy, and some of them could not even see the end.

Light cold, will you return to my way?

|

This night is quieter than usual, no wind, no human voice, and even the most common barking of dogs in these ordinary villages. I can only listen to my breathing and slowly enter Dreamland.

As soon as I woke up, it was already bright.

Susu served me, because I wasn't familiar with it, things weren't ready, and the little girl from Tiezhen's house came over to help again.

She held a bucket full of hot water in her hand. When she walked in, she didn't spill a drop. She put it in front of the washstand and said to Susu, "Grandpa said, it's not convenient for you to fire here. I'll take the hot water Wait, if the young lady is going to eat, go to our house. "

Susu nodded: "Okay."

So she immediately served me and freshened up. The little girl was still waiting at the door. I followed her to Tiezhen's house. I knew on the way that her name was Tie Rong, and she was only a teenager. Already learned the skill of hitting iron.

No wonder she is so strong.

I smiled and said, "The heavy work of hitting the iron is done by men. Do you have a hard time doing this?"

She shook her head: "It's not hard to get used to it. There are more girls in the village doing this work."

I looked at her in wonder: "Really?"

"Well, there are a few younger than me. They are learning."

"..."

I was a bit surprised. I thought she was just a special case, but I didn't expect that there were many girls who played iron.

It's really an ancestral craft, and men and women don't want to.

At this time, everyone also got up and went out, much more lively than when they came last night. The people in the village have lived here for generations. Few have left, and few people have been seen. So I saw Su Su and Du Yan and looked at them with wide eyes and a blank expression.

Soon we went to Tiezhen's house.

His family had prepared tableware, and there were porridge dishes on the table. Although it was not abundant, it was also rare for such a villager. I thanked him and looked at Mo Tieyi on the bed over there. The night passed, and he still had no movement. I asked Tiezhen: "How is his condition? Have you woke up?"

Tie Zhen shook his head and said, "His injury is relatively serious. I don't know if it is as simple as a skin trauma. The doctor also said it, and he would lie down for ten days and a half months before seeing it. It is also fatal."

Also fate.

In other words, the injury medicine has already come to this share. Whether he can survive it depends on himself.

I could not help but walked over and looked at him for a while, there was no expression on that bloodless face, and the savage expression in the past was also driven away by paleness. Lying here was really just a very ill person.

I hope he can wake up sooner, there are some things, I really want to ask him.

I sighed. Susu had just filled the porridge into the bowl and asked me to pass. I walked back to the table and sat down to start breakfast.

Although there are not many things and it seems very simple, but the taste is very good. The home-made side dishes are the easiest to appetite. I drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, and the person was a bit more comfortable, so I ate breakfast Ask Tiezhen: "Village chief, when you talked about Tieyushan yesterday, that-'old thing', who is he?"

Tiezhen said immediately, "Ms. Yan wants to go in and see him?"

He was very sensitive. I nodded and said, "I want to go and see who it is."

"Look at him? He's not a common person. We haven't seen him like this for decades."

"Oh? Haven't you bothered to see him?"

"No."

"Why is Tieyushan--"

"This child has enough tenacity. I heard that it took a lot of effort to let the old guy take him as an apprentice. After him, many young people went in to try it. They tried to try their luck and all failed. ... So, this person can't do it for everyone. "

This surprised me a bit. It turns out that no one here has met the master of Tie Yushan, the "old guy".

I thought about it and said, "Well, I'll go in and try my luck too, maybe, I've run into luck?"

Tiezhen looked at me for a while, and smiled with emotion, saying, "It's exactly the same."

"What? What exactly?"

I was a bit inexplicable about the sudden words he came up with. Tiezhen sighed and said, "Miss Yan is really the same as Madam."

I paused for a moment and said, "You say-my mother?"

"Good."

"Have my mother been here?"

"of course."

"When did you come?"

"A few decades ago, at that time, there was no young lady."

This surprised me a little. Although I knew the relationship between my mother and Tieyushan, I also knew that she must have visited many places in Xichuan. Even when I was young, she often took me to the Sanjiang Dam near here. Playing, but I didn't expect that my mother had even been here, and even had seen that-"old guy".

Moreover, it was before I was born, that is, at least two years before he married his father.

What is she doing here?

Full of doubts, I asked, "What is she doing here?"

"I'm also looking for that old guy."

"Come to him-what?"

"What else can you do? Taihe people only have these kinds of business, mining, ironmaking, forging. That old guy is the best of us. If you want to come, Madam comes to him, it should be for these things."

"..."

My mother came to find someone who would forge a green mine.

I faintly felt that this matter seemed to be more complicated than I expected before. Although it was my mother, she always looked gentle and quiet in my eyes, but after many years, I was surprised. Her tenderness and quietness are like the sea that looks calm on the surface. No one knows how much dark tide is hiding under the surface calmness.

I thought about it and said, "If that's the case, I'll go in and meet him even more."

Tiezhen said, "The young lady wants to come back, but she still can't get in."

"why?"

"Did you not say yesterday? Half of the mountain was blasted and the road was broken."

"Oh? The road is buried?"

"Yes."

"So, is anyone going to clean it up?"

"Of course, the people inside must also clear the road, otherwise they won't be able to get out, and our people will also be cleaned out, otherwise the iron ore will not be shipped out."

"How long will that take?"

"However, it will take two or three days."

"So long?"

"This is short, and half of the mountain has been smashed, and half of the mountain has stood there. Everyone must be careful. If you accidentally trigger the collapse of that half of the mountain, the dead and injured are not one. It's that simple for two people. "

"..."

I couldn't help turning my head to glance at Mo Tieyi on the bed. Without speaking, my mood became somewhat dignified.

I said, wait for Qinghan to come back here, maybe the time is just right, I hope that before he returns, I can see the legendary "old guy" and see what he had done with my mother.

I don't know why, I have a feeling.

Maybe the mysteries left by my mother seem cluttered, but they are actually traceable, but I haven't found a source, so I haven't been able to figure out what she is thinking and doing, and this source, Maybe this is Taihe Iron Mine.

I just don't know, how can I find this source.

As I was thinking and eating, I heard a loud noise from outside. Some villagers gathered at the door again, talking shyly, very noisy, Tiezhen frowned and looked outside. He glanced and said, "What's going on outside, so noisy early in the morning?"

Tie Rong went out immediately, came back after a while, walked to Tie Zhen's side and said softly, "Grandpa, they said, there is another group of people outside."

"Oh? Here again?"

Tiezhen listened and looked up at us subconsciously, and I couldn't help looking up at him.

Why is Taihe Iron Mine so busy these days?

Tiezhen thought for a while and said, "Who are you here? If you don't worry, just let them go out to deal with it. The mountain in front of you collapses, and the road cannot get in."

Tie Rong whispered in his ear and said, "They said, those people are from the Yan family, I heard it is-"

When she said the last few words, there was another noise just outside. I didn't hear it clearly, and Tiezhen had suddenly stood up from the stool with a shocked expression: "Really?"

Tie Rong nodded.

Tiezhen glanced at me again, and suddenly felt a bit wrong, and said, "What's wrong?"

Tiezhen said: "Miss can know that there are still people coming to our Tiejia Village."

"who?"

"The comer calls himself the emperor."
