(twenty four)
There would have been no difficulty in entering and exiting this valley, of course, that was when no one was hiding in the dark.
After this desperate fight, Bai Feng and his party got a few quarters of time to breathe. Su Qing, who had just taken revenge, still remembered that her trip was to bring Tao Wuyong back to treat the wife he had just married, so she didn't want to waste any more time.
So, they waited for Murong Yan to regain most of her consciousness, and then drove their horses and carriages to leave this land of right and wrong in a hurry.
In view of the fact that the Xianbei witch was not in good spirits and did not have the ability to drive a horse, and in order to better take care of He Zhong who was injured in many places, Murong Yan and the boy from the He family crowded into the broken carriage and sat on it. Let Tao Wuyong be their coachman. Su Qing and Bai Feng were separated from the front and back of the carriage to guard them all the way and moved forward cautiously.
Murong Yan put on the light gray and white cloak again, firstly to keep out the cold, and secondly to cover up her shame. As she tore the clothes on her arms, she didn't seem to notice her embarrassment at all.
By casually looking at the unclothed side and looking into the armpits, others can see that this area is covered with sparse down, and they can also see a touch of whiter and softer skin deeper down. This is a scene that can often be seen in dissolute prostitutes, but is rarely seen in pure young girls. As a lady, Murong Yan has long forgotten this when she helps others.
Even after the disaster passed, she still stood by He Zhong's side to prevent the broken car beneath her from stumbling and throwing the unconscious He family boy out.
To be able to treat a young man so sincerely with a boy whom he has only met once, this incident alone is enough to make all those who have doubted Murong Yan re-examine this "Murong Yan" who is supported by the people of Hongye Town. "Holy Lady", including Tao Wuyong who was making up for his mistakes.
"Who is she? Does she really know any witchcraft and can control people's hearts?" Tao Wuyong thought like this, as if he was also following the saint's teachings. After driving the horse for a while, he finally plucked up the courage, looked back at the person on the carriage, and said, "Miss Murong, I thought just now that you would definitely choose to escape by yourself, so you just sat back and waited for my unscrupulous descendant to come back. , because I know that Su Qing must have gone for revenge, he is always determined to retaliate, and his grudges are clear."
"But I didn't run away, because unlike you, I just took in a disciple and forgot about it in the blink of an eye!" Murong Yan replied while the boy from the He family was taking care of the wound that he had bandaged with light gauze, "I don't Understand, why do you always make things difficult for us? The last time I asked you to save Brother Feng, you were also such a rogue, asking for five thousand taels of silver!"
"I have always disliked practicing medicine for knights and people seeking death. They are not worth saving for me because they don't value their own lives at all." Tao Wuyong looked forward, waved his horsewhip, and said calmly: "As for Zhong'er's injuries, I saw that he was injured in seven or eight places, with scars all over his body. In my humble opinion, I am afraid that there is no way to save him, so why waste any more energy to save him? I never thought that the saintess is indeed a Lady Saint..."
"Is it because of...my blood?" Murong Yan hesitated for a moment, then immediately denied the other party's view: "No...no, He Zhong ran back regardless of his life or death in order to tell us that there was a Taiping Taoist ambush nearby. What did you do? Can you bear to leave him? Mr. Tao, my little lady cannot agree with your medical skills and your ideas!"
"Huh!" Tao Wuyong sneered, and then said sarcastically: "The little girl is really a kind woman. Many things in this world are not as simple as you think. If you save this person, he will go there in the future. You caused harm to everyone, became a flying thief, a flower picker, and then entered Taiping Road, how should you think of yourself?"
Murong Yan suddenly understood, leaned out from the wooden fence on the carriage, looked forward, and asked: "Is it possible that what Mr. Tao said is Mr. Su?"
"Dad Tao, please don't say anything wrong about me in front of Miss Murong!" Su Qing, who was riding the horse in front, advised: "Miss Murong, this old fool is like this. Whether he can cure the disease or not, he can't cure the person. It's all based on his own selfishness. If Miss Murong hadn't been by the side of the He family boy, maybe Father Tao would have taken out a knife and ended his life to prevent him from suffering any more."
"Seriously?" Murong Yan couldn't believe it and said in shock: "Mr. Tao, would you really do this?"
"As you heard, Lady Saint."
After Tao Wu gave several stiff answers as if he were facing a stranger, Murong Yan fell into a long-lost silence. With her talent, she can clearly feel the benevolent heart of the other party. Without this benevolent heart, he would not choose to practice medicine for the people of Hongye Town for free. However, this benevolent heart was covered up by a strange sense of shame.
"Tao..." Murong Yan was just about to think of words to argue, but He Zhong suddenly woke up beside her, pulled her gray-white cloak, and whispered a few words: "Holy... Holy lady, there is no need to... No need to say more."
"Junior brother?"
He Zhong looked at the woman next to him who had saved him twice - once when he drove away the Taiping Taoists in Hongye Town, and once when he risked his life to save him outside Hongye Town. Although he still felt groggy, his eyelids were extremely heavy, and he seemed to be weakly sleeping when he spoke, as if he were dreaming, his words were full of passion, and every word was sonorous and powerful.
"There are not many noble people like the Holy Lady in this world, so why bother forcing Mr. Tao to admit his mistakes for me? I know that Mr. Tao has a weird temperament, and I have been prepared for it for a long time. I just hope that I can get something out of Mr. Tao. It is enough to learn advanced medical skills."
"Junior brother..." Murong Yan actually felt a little ashamed, so she lowered her head and reflected on herself for a moment.
Indeed, no one has the right to require others to be like themselves.
"Mr. Tao, Mrs. Xiang has been waiting for Mr. Su in Cangzhou City. She is currently seriously ill and bedridden. You won't do the same to Mrs. Xiang, right?"
"Mrs. Xiang was kind to my unworthy son, how could she let her die so easily?" Tao Wuyong said: "Besides, I have always understood Mrs. Xiang's condition. It was just caused by hysteria, and she My body is already weak, which is why I am in this situation today."
After hearing this, Su Qing suddenly reined in the reins, turned around, and scolded Tao Wuyong: "Dad, you said you knew it a long time ago? How could you deceive me? I act like a fool and still go around carefree every day. Wandering around!”
"It was Mrs. Xiang who asked me to keep this secret."
"Then you are still my father, and you are helping outsiders hide it from me!"
"You're such an unworthy child, I shouldn't have adopted you in the first place!"
Bai Feng, who had been at the back of the motorcade, silently watched the farce. It wasn't until the two father and son had a heated argument that he stepped forward and said, "Everyone, time is running out. Do you want to kill people on this road?" Are you willing to live and die?"
As soon as the conversation changed, everyone calmed down, got back in the car and continued on their way.
