Pihanjin - Chapter 44

Hundreds of injured people after the Liyang earthquake have been treated, and the miasma in this area has also gradually stabilized. Mu Fulan was about to leave and set off for the next place.

Before leaving, she summoned the people selected from the local area to assist her in practicing medicine a few days ago, including Yongfu, the daughter of the leader of Li Yang, and explained to them some precautions for taking medicine.

The leader led the people and came to say goodbye in person. The gratitude was beyond words.

Yuan Handing has been busy distributing the food delivered by Changsha for the past few days. Knowing that she was leaving Liyang, she explained the rest of the matter, and hurried away, preparing to **** her with her.

Mu Fulan asked him about the food, and learned that the arrangement was smooth, and said, “Since the food has been arranged, please come back, brother, I don’t need to bother you again.”

Before he could speak, she smiled again and said, “Brother, don’t worry. We have been here for some time. We didn’t know it at first, but now you have seen it with your own eyes. No matter where I go, there are people who will pick me up all the way. I’m safe with my escort. Besides, the disease is getting better, and it won’t be long before I can return.”

“I’m fine here. I need you more at home than here!”

The daily training of the iron ore arsenal and the military dock in Rudi is one thing, and there are many things. For the sake of the less people know, the better, I can’t explain it to others at will. Even if he is not there, the matter is under the control of the king. However, as the king of Changsha, Brother Wang is already busy with his daily affairs.

Mu Fulan had been waiting for the food to be released, and things were finally over today, so he naturally urged him to go back earlier.

Yuan Handing didn’t know what his important task was, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

“Alright, then I’ll go back first. I’ll keep all the people I brought.”

“You also have to take care of yourself, don’t be too tired. When things are over, go back sooner.”

He stared at Mu Fulan’s thin face and said.

Mu Fulan smiled and said, “I know. Thank you brother for your concern.”

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the crowd not far behind her, took out a delicate pouch embroidered with a local totem, and while Yuan Handing was watching with a puzzled gaze, she handed it over with a smile and said, “This is the leader of Li Yang. My daughter Yongfu asked me to pass it to you, saying that it was an amulet. She is grateful for your help in these days, and I hope you can accept it and bless you with a safe life. “

Yuan Handing was stunned for a moment, followed Mu Fulan’s line of sight, and turned his head subconsciously. After seeing the crowd seeing off, a local girl of fifteen or sixteen was staring at him.

The girl stood under a flower tree, dressed in blue, with willow brows and almond eyes, her face was like a full moon, very beautiful, when she saw herself looking back at her, her cheeks were flushed, she turned around the flower tree and flew away quickly, the figure disappeared in the crowd.

“Brother, the people here worship the sun. This is when Yongfu left in the middle of the night, climbed to the top of Liyang Mountain, the highest mountain here, and prayed to the gods at sunrise. It was her heart, brother, please accept it.”

Yuan Handing turned his head and looked at Mu Fulan, who was looking at him with a smile, for a moment, and had an epiphany in his heart.

His Wengzhu, since childhood, has always called him brother.

In her heart, she will always be just his brother.

The hand she was holding the amulet was still facing herself.

He finally raised his arm, took it slowly, and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, Lord, thank her for me when it’s convenient.”

Mu Fulan nodded and smiled, “Then I’ll go first. Brother, you have to take care of yourself.”

Yuan Handing watched her figure surrounded by a group of people seeing her off, suppressed the melancholy in her heart, and turned away.

Yongfu ran over quietly and secretly asked Mu Fulan if he had received his amulet just now.

Mu Fulan smiled and said, “He accepted it and asked me to thank you.”

Yongfu’s eyes suddenly brightened, his face flushed again, and he whispered, “Thank you, Lord.”

In recent days, the leader’s daughter has helped her a lot, Mu Fulan likes her very much, nodded, and smiled, “You remember the treatment methods I taught you, and after I leave, you Remember to continue to take care of those patients who have not yet recovered, and if you encounter problems, go to me or the doctor in the nearby Zhaidong.”

Yongfu nodded in agreement.

At this time, Mu Fulan saw the boy named Wuji running over from a distance, shouting to himself, as if something was wrong, thinking that his mother’s condition was in trouble again, and hurriedly greeted him and asked, “What’s the matter? Is something wrong with your grandmother?”

“No, no! I met a few people this morning and asked me to lead the way to find you, Lord Weng. I suspect that they are not good people. I’m afraid they are going to be unfavorable to you. Come and tell Lord Weng!”

Uji was sweating profusely from running, gasping for breath as he recounted his previous encounter with that group of people.

Mu Fulan was taken aback, and immediately asked him about the appearance of the other party, and Wu Ji described it.

Before he could finish speaking, Mu Fulan guessed that the person he was describing was Xie Changgeng.

But what puzzled her was that a few days ago, the others had clearly left, why did they go back today and come back here to find themselves?

What made her even more puzzled was that since he had returned, he had already entered the land of Sanmiao, and he was clearly not far from him, so why did he suddenly leave?

Filled with doubts, she asked Uggie to repeat the detailed story, without saying a word.

Uji thought back carefully, and said it again.

“…I asked who the leader was and what was the matter with Lord Weng. His subordinate said that he was Lord Weng’s husband.”

“I heard the gossip about Ma and the others before, and General Yuan is your husband. Isn’t that person talking nonsense? I refused to lead them the way, they caught me, and the person pressed me, I said, General Yuan is Lord Weng, your husband, he lied and lied, and then the man said nothing, turned around and left, I hurried over to tell Lord Weng to be careful.”

After Mu Fulan heard this, she was stunned.

According to Wu Ji, Xie Changgeng turned around. But her intuition told her that things would never be that simple.

She remembered the words he had said to herself a few days ago before he left.

An ominous premonition struck her immediately.

She was in a trance for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that night, when he entered Liancheng and met Xi’er, she was in a panic.

She couldn’t stay any longer, and immediately left everything behind and set off to rush back to Liancheng. Halfway through, she met the person sent by the Liancheng order, and learned about the one thing she didn’t want to hear, but it was real, already Bad news happened.

Xi’er was kidnapped by Xie Changgeng!

These days, since she came here, she has been extremely busy and laborious. In the past few days, because of the earthquake, the number of people in need of treatment has suddenly surged. , I didn’t rest well at all. When I suddenly heard such news at this moment, it was as if my internal organs were suddenly taken out of the air, and I was extremely angry, and my eyes suddenly turned black.

She swayed a few times and was supported by the person beside her.

She closed her eyes, waited for the blood throbbing in her chest to calm down a little, slowly opened her eyes, and ordered to move on, returning to Liancheng first.

When Mu Fulan arrived in Liancheng, she returned to her place of residence, and stood in front of the empty bed, looking at Xi’er’s little clothes and shoes that she had not had time to put on, her tears could no longer be contained, and her eyes welled up.

The maid knelt on the ground behind her, not daring to look up.

Mu Fulan quickly wiped away her tears, turned around and walked out.

Mu’s mother, who was so anxious that she had fallen ill, learned that she was coming back, and was trying to get off the bed, when she suddenly saw her walk in, struggled to get up, wanted to kowtow to her, and choked up, “Master Weng, it’s all my fault, I’m useless… “

Mu Fulan hurried forward, supported her, and told her to lie down.

“I already know what happened, and it has nothing to do with you. I was there by myself at the time, so I’m afraid I couldn’t stop him. Mom Mu, don’t blame yourself, take care of your health earlier, and then I can rest assured.”

She comforted Mu’s mother, told the maid to take care of her, turned around and went out to the front.

Yuan Handing had already heard the news and rushed over, and was waiting there with Lianchengling.

Lian Chengling knelt on the ground with a look of shame on his face, Yuan Handing looked anxious, saw Mu Fulan appear, he quickly stepped forward, and said, “Master Weng, I will lead someone to catch up, no matter what, I will bring the young master back. , you stay here and wait for my news.”

“Brother, I’ll go by myself.”

She said to Yuan Handing.

“Alright. I’ll take you with me! I’ll send someone back to Yuecheng to deliver a message to His Highness! Lord Weng, wait a moment, and you’ll be leaving soon!”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and hurried to go.

Mu Fulan stopped him.

She ordered Liancheng Ling to stand up, go out with the rest, and retreat far away, leaving only Yuan Handing alone.

“Brother, this time, don’t go.”

He can’t go either.

If he went, it would only lead to more misunderstandings and anger. Not only could the matter not be resolved, but he might even hurt Yuan Handing.

Things start with oneself and end with oneself.

“Brother, this is a personal grievance between me and him. I can’t let you know the details, but you can rest assured that he shouldn’t hurt Xi’er. I will go over by myself, and I will negotiate with him and bring Xi’er back. Yes. You believe me.”

She said to Yuan Handing.

Yuan Handing was silent.

Mu Fulan made up his mind.

“Brother, I know you are good to me. You must have had many doubts in your heart all this time. I really can’t tell you all about some things, but about Xie Changgeng, I want to let you know one thing. He’s ambitious, he’s determined to move the cauldron.”

She looked at Yuan Handing and said slowly.

Yuan Handing looked at her as if taken aback.

“Although he has promised not to embarrass us, and even willing to protect us, everything has a premise that we will not hinder his great cause. One day, if the court really does not allow Changsha, we will treat him If something goes wrong, he will definitely sacrifice us. We can only trust ourselves.”

Mu Fulan couldn’t calm down when the incident passed through her mind.

She said, “My ancestor of the Mu clan is heroic, and his children are upright and peaceful. For two hundred years, he has guarded one place, never thought twice, and never had the heart of coveting others. However, things in the world cannot be controlled by others. Brother, in a few years, the world will be in chaos. I don’t want to be an enemy of Xie Changgeng, but this person is really untrustworthy. We don’t want to be slaughtered by others, we can only rely on ourselves. It’s not about what we will do in the future. How, but, if we have an army that can stand up to others, our hearts are tidy, and we have the backing of the three seedlings, then in the future, no matter who it is, even Xie Changgeng, when he wants to bite us, he will always be You have to weigh it first, and have some scruples.”

“Brother, you once said that you still need a year, and now is the most critical juncture for my country in Changsha. Brother, listen to me, you don’t have to worry about me, you train our troops and horses well, this is the Your number one priority right now, nothing is more important than this!”

Yuan Handing looked at Mu Fulan with a complicated expression, pondered for a long time, gritted his teeth, and said word by word, “No one will offend me, and I will not offend anyone. If someone offends me, I will fight back to the death. Heart. I will arrange an **** for you and go back to Yuecheng!”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out quickly.

Early the next morning, Mu Fulan was on the road.

She walked the official road.

According to her original estimate, starting from Liancheng and heading north, she should be able to reach Hexi in just over a month. Unexpectedly, it only took ten days to set off, and when she was about to cross the Yuanshui, the flood broke out a few days ago upstream, and the flood flooded the road. She was blocked on the south bank and waited hard for many days. The road ahead was washed away again, and we could only make a detour.

She left Liancheng in July, stumbling and stumbling along the way. On this day, when she was so anxious and finally entered Hexi, her head was on the north and the south was returning, and her eyes were fading. The season has entered the October of this year. It’s late autumn.
