humble minister

The foreground is getting wider and wider, and the crow's neighing has already carried the two of them out of the autumn forest. The land is flat and open, and the houses look like houses. Dogs heard about each other, among them, the men and women were dressed like outsiders, with yellow hair hanging down, and they were happy. (Ps: Do you feel familiar, haha, unknowingly memorized a passage of "Peach Blossom Spring" to remember my finished college entrance examination...)

In fact, it is not uncommon for a few strangers to come to the village, because although the location is remote, you can still reach a small town by driving more than ten miles.It's just that almost all the villagers who saw the two of them showed surprise expressions. There is no other reason. These two people actually came out of that deep forest, and one of them seemed to have suffered serious injuries. , the other person also looked very uncomfortable.

Shi Yu rode the crow, and slowly glanced over the villagers who were staring at the two of them, and found that although these people were staring at them impolitely, they were not malicious, and there was only curiosity and enthusiasm in their eyes. A simple village.

While letting Wuzhao wander around, while looking at the people in the village, Shi Yu's idea is to find a family to live in temporarily, and take a rest for a while, at least until Lian Ying is in good health before making any plans.

After walking a few steps, Shi Yu, with his men and horses, was stopped. The person who stopped him was a young woman in common clothes. Lian Ying and Shi Yu, who was injured in his arm, said with concern: "Young master, please stay a little longer, little lady Yu Niang, I don't know where to go when I see two young masters, one is injured and the other is sick. Resting at my mother's house for a period of time to recuperate from injuries, I think this young master may have a severe fever?" She pointed to Lian Ying who was in Shi Yu's arms.

Shi Yu saw that the concern and worry in the young woman's eyebrows did not seem to be fake, and he did not refuse immediately, but it was inconvenient for him to get off the horse with Lian Ying in his arms, so he had to thank the young woman immediately: "Thank you, Yuniang, I really met my friend." If you are in some trouble, if you can borrow your house, I will be grateful, so I will bother you."

Yu Niang smiled, but her delicate face was enhanced by this warm smile: "My lord, you are being polite. It is not easy to go out. If you encounter difficulties with others, why not help them? It’s just helping yourself, besides, everyone in our Baixia Village is warm and hospitable.”

After speaking, Yuniang led the way, and Shi Yu drove the horse to follow her. The villagers he met along the way greeted them friendly, without any suspicion or precaution, just like another paradise Tao Yuanming mentioned.

The place where Yuniang lives is only two ordinary thatched huts, located in a small yard surrounded by a fence. There is also a stone table and a few stone benches in the yard. Although it looks relatively poor, it is also kind. A different kind of warmth.

As soon as Yuniang arrived home, she threw herself on an eight or nine-year-old boy. The boy hugged Yuniang's waist tightly and shouted sweetly, "Mother, you are back!"

Although it is a very happy thing to be greeted so warmly by her son, after all, it is still a little awkward in front of the guests, so Yuniang patted the little head buried in her waist, although it was reproach but not without pampering : "You, mother came back when she came back, why is such a grown-up person so tired?"

The boy let go of the hand holding Yuniang, stuck out his tongue, a little shy, and looked behind Yuniang, there were actually two good-looking brothers and a mighty big horse, excitedly He asked: "Oh, mother, who are they? Those two elder brothers are so handsome, and that big horse is so mighty. Xing'er has never seen such a mighty big horse!"

After hearing this, Yuniang squeezed the boy's face in reproach, and then said to Shi Yu behind her, "Young master, don't take offense, my Xing'er is just curious."

Shi Yu jumped off the horse with Lian Ying in his arms, and couldn't help laughing at the little boy who was looking at him with adoring eyes and Wu Hao with curious eyes. This boy named Xing'er is really cute and innocent.

"It's okay, it's normal for children to be curious." Shi Yu gave a rare smile to someone he just met, and then asked, "I wonder if Yuniang can borrow a bed for my friend to rest?"

"Okay, okay, you come with me, but the humble house is too small, so I can only feel sorry for you two to sleep in my son's room." After putting down the wooden basin on the stone table, Yu Niang hurriedly led the two of them to one of the thatched huts.

Shi Yu saw that the little boy was still circling Wu Zai, looking at him non-stop, and even wanted to reach out to touch him. As for Wu Zai, he obviously enjoyed the gaze, but he put on a proud look. Don't let the star touch it.

Hey, what an arrogant horse, why did he choose Wu Xiao as his mount?

Shi Yu really wanted to caress his forehead, but he still held Lian Ying in his arms, so he could only say: "Xing'er, right? Brother, can I trouble you to do me a favor?"

"What, what, is there anything Xing'er can do?" The little boy hurriedly ran to Shi Yu, Xing Xingyan asked.

"Tie up this horse somewhere, and don't let him run away." Although he knew that Wu Zai's psychic ability would not run around, Shi Yu couldn't help but want to dispel Wu Zai's arrogant temper.

"Okay, okay!" Xing'er happily agreed, bouncing and walking away with the reluctant Wu Zai.

Walking into the house, Shi Yu carefully placed Lian Ying on the bed, pulled over the quilt on one side and covered it carefully. Just as he was about to ask Yu Niang if there were any doctors in the village, she saw that Yu Niang used a very Looking at himself with strange eyes, he couldn't help but frown.

Seeing that Shi Yu frowned, Yuniang quickly explained: "Yu Niang saw that the young master took care of this friend so meticulously, she might have a very close relationship, so she thought for a while... I hope the young master will not blame Yuniang for being crooked."

Now Shi Yu finally understands the meaning of that weird look, maybe this Yuniang thinks that Lian Ying and herself are... lovers?After all, although male love was not common in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was not taboo.

lover...

Seeing Shi Yu's silence, Yuniang thought he was acquiescing but she was embarrassed, so she just smiled knowingly and wisely didn't ask any more questions.

"The young master is waiting here, and Yuniang will go to the doctor in the village to show this young master." After finishing speaking, Yuniang was about to leave. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for the guests to stay here.

"Stay here." Shi Yu called out to stop Yuniang, and under Yuniang's puzzled gaze, he took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into her hand, saying, "This is the consultation fee."

Yu Niang was stunned for a moment and quickly refused to go back: "No, no, you don't have to be like this, Mr. Yan in our village never charges for consultation fees. It is a free clinic, and these are not needed."

Shi Yu insisted on stuffing the silver ingot back, and then said: "Even if you don't need to pay for the consultation fee, it is right to treat it as the fee for the two of us to bother you these days. In addition, my friend needs to eat some good health supplements these days. It will cost money, and I hope Yuniang will not be too polite, otherwise the two of us will be embarrassed to stay here any longer."

"But...but it doesn't take so much." Yuniang continued to refuse, but Shi Yu said with deep meaning——

"Then leave it to the children."

Yu Niang froze, hesitated for a long time and finally accepted it, then thanked Shi Yu for going out to find a doctor.

In fact, Shi Yu had already discovered that although the boy named Xing'er was eight or nine years old, he hadn't gone to school yet, presumably because his family's conditions did not allow it, so he gave Yuniang a silver ingot. Those expenses, on the other hand, hope that after Yuniang has the money, the children can go to school. He can see that Yuniang is educated and really loves the children. He definitely hopes that the children can also go to school, so he helped a It doesn't matter, when he confirms that Yuniang is indeed a good person.

After Yuniang left, Shi Yu gave Lian Ying some water to drink again, this time there was no such charming atmosphere as the first time.After feeding the water, he took off the cloth on Lianying's forehead, moistened it with the little water in the water bag, and put it on again.

Not long after everything was done, Shi Yu just wanted to deal with the wound when Lian Ying woke up, so he quickly sat on the head of the bed and said to Lian Ying: "Is it better?"

Lian Ying just woke up and was still in a daze. He spent a lot of energy looking at the place where he was, and then said: "It's a little bit better, where is this place? Have we left the autumn forest?"

"Well, Wuzhen ran for a long time, and we finally came out. This is a place called Baixia Village. We are currently staying at the house of a woman named Yuniang. Yuniang is going to invite a doctor. Please bear with me. " Shi Yu said, stretched out his hand to hold Lian Ying's hand outside the quilt, and asked with concern: "Is there any discomfort in your body now?"

Lian Ying was a little uncomfortable with his sudden concern, and wanted to pull out his hand, but he was powerless, and after a few pulls to no avail, he simply let Shi Yu hold it.

I closed my eyes and felt it carefully. In addition to the severe fever and dizziness, there was also a little hunger. After all, I hadn’t eaten for nearly a day. Thirst was not very thirsty, as if he had been unconscious during the period of time. Someone fed him water, and this person was probably Shi Yu, so he immediately said, "Thank you, I'm fine, but the fever is a bit severe."

Shi Yu hadn't figured out what his "thank you" was for when he saw that Lian Ying suddenly grabbed his injured arm excitedly. He didn't have much strength and didn't touch the wound, but Shi Yu felt the pain. The hand that was only holding on to myself was trembling, and even the voice that answered was trembling——

"You... you're still hurt."

As soon as Shi Yu lowered his head, he saw Lian Ying's gaze tightly glued to his injured arm, and just as he was about to say that it's okay, he heard Lian Ying's voice choked with sobs, "Sure enough... sure enough, I'm the one who hurt you. , you... why did you bother to save me?"

"I thought you understood what I mean." After a long time, Shi Yu's cold voice rang out above Lian Ying's head with unknown anger. He was suddenly lifted up by Shi Yu, and Shi Yu stared at him. One sentence said, "I thought you knew that I would not give up on you. Since this is the choice I made, even if I get hurt, I can't blame you. Besides, we are both safe now, aren't we? You are still on your own. What are you responsible for, you have done a very good job, you are not my burden."

After Shi Yu finished speaking, he definitely looked at Lian Ying's reddened eyes with a very serious expression.

"Tch." Lian Ying smiled through tears, looked at Shi Yu whose ears were blushing, and said, "Are you comforting me?"

That’s right, what Shi Yu said is right, he shouldn’t treat himself as a burden, if he treats himself as a burden, then he will really become a burden, but he is not, because...he really helped Shi Yu Yu, because...the two of them escaped safely, and this was the final result.

"Hmph." It was Shi Yu who answered him with a soft hum.

There was silence between the two for a while, and finally Lian Ying broke the silence and said, "Go and treat the wound."

"No hurry, it's not too late anyway, we'll talk about it when the doctor comes." Shi Yu is not in a hurry at this time, the main reason is to prevent Lian Ying from having any accidents, and now that the doctor has dealt with the wound himself re-watched.

Then, there was another burst of bewildered silence.

"Are you hungry?"

After a while, the voices of two people sounded at the same time, and Lian Ying flattened his mouth in embarrassment: "I seem to be hungry."

Shi Yu glanced at Xing'er, who was having a great time playing with Wu Zai in the yard, and then responded to Lian: "The kid outside is Yuniang's son, if you have anything to do, just call him, and I'll go buy something to eat. "

"Okay." Lian Ying responded, watched Shi Yu get up and leave, and then lay back down again.

Destiny is really wonderful. He is just a friend who has just met, but he has experienced these things together without knowing it. Up to now, he doesn't know what he thinks of Shi Yu, so that now he has to think if Shi Yu really If you want to win him over, will he agree?

Will he...will he help him accomplish his great cause?

The answer is that I don't know, but it's not like I didn't care about it before.

The author has something to say:

Hey, "Peach Blossom Spring", sinful~ The identity of the doctor who will appear in the next chapter is not simple, but I don't plan to say more now!
