Perhaps many of the situations were expected, so it didn't cause much trouble. At least everything seemed to be in order.
As always, they drove their horses on the road at sunrise and set up camp to rest at sunset. If the dry food reserves were not dwindling day by day, I am afraid they would only see the end of the journey getting closer and closer, completely forgetting the suffering they had endured.
To say that there is any mystery in this, it is naturally inseparable from the master who is willing to share the joys and sorrows with them, but we still cannot forget the shock and enjoyment that this magical land brings to people's senses.
Halfway through the journey, the Lou family's caravan finally saw a long river that stretched across the middle of the green field like a ribbon. The Zhao brothers and sisters, who are familiar with the customs and culture of Saishang, would say, "These are the tears shed by the goddess who lives on Yinshan Mountain." They add a bit of mystery to this big river.
No matter where you are, as long as you see the water source and stream, I believe you will be able to see the town soon.
Although Lou Jinghua's generous donation solved the urgent needs of many attendants and servants, the small amount of fine food and warm clothing could only be used by the daughter of the Lou family. So of course, the caravan quickly consumed them all, leaving no trace of food left.
The grooms and brokers, who were already sweating, were ready to move when they heard the sound of gurgling water close to their ears and right in front. After hearing Miss Lou's personal words of mercy and ordering the troops to camp and rest by the river, they immediately ran like wild horses, stripping off their clothes while running, and jumped into the pool to wash away their fatigue.
In this short day, everything in the world seemed to have stopped for them, vowing to reflect the most beautiful and quiet moments in this world in their minds.
Since setting off, many people have been too constrained by changes in living habits to pay attention to the vast scenery passing by. They have spent several days and nights in extreme pain. They even know that the nights on the grassland are particularly cold and have never taken a closer look. Once I saw the sky above my head.
Such pure beauty is unforgettable for anyone who has seen it.
The eternal deep blue is deeply engraved in the sky as if it has never disappeared since the creation of the world. The white clouds are capped and layered endlessly, with no edge visible.
Under the clear sky, the river is sparkling, the sky and water are the same color, and countless past events of the frontier fortress seem to be shining on the surface of the river. Dozens of naked burly men were swimming on it, laughing and cursing. There were also a few people on the river bank who stuck their feet in the cold pool, using the water as a mirror, holding combs to arrange their hair.
Although the occasional heavy fog is a bit disappointing when it passes by, the haze will not last long, nor will it destroy the natural picture that has been fixed here for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
At night, when the twilight was still glowing with colorful afterglow, people fished and hunted rabbits along the river bank, and returned home with loads. Then they happily built a fire and held a banquet - celebrating reaching the river and celebrating the journey that was about to be completed. .
They changed cups and cups, talked with each other, sometimes sang and sometimes danced. Since they were all stout men, it seemed that only confrontational activities such as sumo wrestling and wrestling could arouse their greater interest. So while they were drinking, many boys gathered around the fire to hold a sumo wrestling competition. The host was naturally their Miss Lou.
"The winner, I will give this hairpin to him. Don't underestimate this thing. This is a lucky thing that I prayed for. I heard that the person who gets it is destined to have a good marriage!" After that, these boys There was a rush of people rushing to sign up. And Lou Jinghua didn't mind, writing down their names one by one, and seemed to be used to fighting with them.
While everyone was enjoying the game, Bai Feng quietly left the center of the excitement filled with worries. He only took a few steps to sneak into a tent, and then walked to several pots of hot medicine that were being boiled in the tent, and asked: "Yan'er, why hasn't this medicine been boiled yet?"
Murong Yan, who was carefully taking care of the patient next to her, was startled by the sound. She immediately turned around and glanced back. When she saw that the other party was playing with the medicine she had prepared, she couldn't help but walked away and stopped her: "Brother Feng." , don’t move! This place is really weird, the medicinal materials can’t be fried well no matter how you fry them, it looks like they need to be fried for another half hour.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly heard that the patient she had just taken care of was in trouble again, so she ran back without looking back.
It seemed that Murong Yan was just listening to the other person's complaints, but she was unusually quiet and gentle, and then wiped the cold sweat from the other person with a wipe. Maybe her poor medical skills won't play a decisive role, but she is indeed a friendly companion. Many times, what lonely patients need more is the company of others, rather than excessively painful treatment, and this Xianbei witch has achieved this incisively and vividly.
She is so gentle and sweet that she can't help but look too fragile, but in fact she is very strong and independent, and will never act against her own will.
If the person in front of her suddenly vomits any filth from his mouth, she may feel uncomfortable for a moment, but then she will definitely tell the person with good intentions: "It's okay, it will make you feel better if you spit it out!"
Bai Feng repeatedly asked Murong Yan not to take responsibility without authorization. Although only a few people were sick in bed, taking care of them was not an easy task. Until now, Bai Feng has no doubt about this fact.
"Ugh! Ugh..." Not long after, the seriously ill boy suddenly vomited a large mouthful of thick phlegm, which almost hit Murong Yan's cheek.
When Bai Feng saw this, he quickly pulled Murong Yan away, fearing that this was a disease like "plague". But Murong Yan still did not forget to put aside her good intentions and said: "Brother Han, how do you feel now?"
"Cough cough... cough cough cough!" Boss Han had already forgotten when he became acclimatized and lay on his back on the couch unable to take care of himself. He waved his hand and motioned for Murong Yan to come over and said: "I'm sorry, Murong Girl. There is one thing I want to say. When I was running around in the early years, I suffered from a lot of illnesses. When I returned home, I was already covered with bruises. It would not be surprising if I died anytime... So you Then don’t waste your time on me..."
"What nonsense are you talking about! It's just acclimatization, it won't kill anyone!" Murong Yan wiped off the dirt that splashed on herself with extreme dissatisfaction, then walked to several medicine jars, took a look, and replied: "No matter what, this You have to drink the medicine, and then you can play games after drinking it!"
Boss Han shook his head quickly and said: "I mean, let you go and rest early! You have stayed here for so long, I really feel wronged to you! I am afraid that someone will tell Miss Lou that we bullied you... "
"Boss Han, what do you mean by this?" Bai Feng suddenly replied with a clear heart: "Yan'er took care of you voluntarily, but you are not grateful, but you want to plot against others?"
Before he finished speaking, the curtain of the tent was opened from the outside. Several people looked at it and saw only Lou Jinghua walking from the outside.
"What, how are they doing?"
"They are still feeling faint and weak. Anyway, there is still one day tomorrow, so let them stay in bed to recuperate." After Murong Yan returned, the daughter of the Lou family walked past all the patients and observed them one by one, and then said: "Just now, we are here I heard from outside the door that someone doesn't like to be taken care of by Miss Murong? Is it because they don't have good medical skills or are they not careful enough? "
"Miss Lou, we are all willing to let Miss Murong take care of us. You don't have to condescend to come and greet us!" After Boss Han finished speaking, the servants who were still awake around him continued to express their agreement.
"No! I don't dare to neglect you. If you have another accident, the group of boys outside will be very upset! How can I, a little girl, treat so many of you?" Lou Jinghua carefully explained. He untied his temples, rolled up his sleeves, and gestured to come to help, saying: "Let me personally serve you!"
Boss Han and others immediately panicked, but after a moment, he and several servants knelt on the couch and begged for mercy: "Miss Lou, we are not sick, our illness has been cured long ago! The little one really doesn't want to eat anymore That unpleasant medicine, and I also want to see Miss Ajuan!"
"Then why have you been pretending to be ill for so many days?" Lou Jinghua was neither surprised nor surprised, as if she already knew the secret, "You will bully Miss Murong for being a kind person, and you won't think so much in your heart!"
When Murong Yan heard this, she couldn't help but blush with shame. She never expected that she had been deceived for so long.
"This... you get paid for nothing and don't work, everyone wants to do this..." Boss Han said shamelessly, and then he kowtowed again and again, trying his best to show more sincerity in confessing his crime, and replied: "Miss Lou Don’t drive me away, I took a wrong approach for a moment, and I will definitely prevent such ridiculous things from happening in the future! If anyone dares to do this, I, Han Chong, will be the first to tell him!"
After hearing this, the daughter of the Lou family agreed repeatedly and made an agreement with the few boys who pretended to be sick and skipped work. She also asked Boss Han to pull the carriage she was riding in next time, and the others were ordered to lead the way at the front of the procession.
At that moment, even if not everyone possessed the magical talent of the Xianbei witch, it seemed that everyone could foresee what Lou Jinghua would look like in the future.
They spent a night full of laughter and laughter, and then spent another day resting by the river. It seems that everyone is reluctant to leave, because they know in their hearts that after this journey, they may never return to the bank of the river.
