When she woke up, she could hear the swirling north wind whistling past the dark sky. The bumpy car window reflected a bit of light from the snow in the north. She tilted her head slightly and saw the small window inside the car wall. The Cuojin Boshan stove on top emits faint dipterocarp fragrance.
Lin Rong felt like the world was spinning as soon as she moved slightly, and she cursed in her heart: These two stinky girls, even if they gave her soothing medicine, they couldn't do such a heavy trick! Just as he was about to call the two girls, Kingfisher and Fengxiao, to ask how many soothing pills were added to the tea and how long he had been asleep, he stretched out his hand to open the layers of lake-green curtains without saying a word. Lu Shen, above his head, said gloomily: "Master Wuyang County, are you finally willing to wake up?"
Lin Rong's breath caught in his throat when he heard this, he paused with his hands, and finally opened the tent. He raised his eyes slightly and saw Lu Shen, wearing a brocade and mink fur, sitting on the edge of the couch with backlight, his whole person hidden in the shadows, only the jade crown with his back turned upside down. The snowy light made it difficult for people to see his face clearly, whether he was angry or happy.
His index finger was entangled with a few strands of the woman's black hair, and all of them were pulled off with a slight movement: "You sleep well!"
Lin Rong was the person who was most afraid of pain, but now that such a large strand of hair was torn off, he just frowned slightly. She didn't know why, but she was probably really risking her life. When she saw Lu Shen, she didn't even have the slightest fear in the past. She smiled and said, "You love this black hair so much, I can cut it off and give it to you." Hou. However, if I knew that you were here, Junhou, I would rather sleep for a long time and not wake up."
Lu Shen raised his eyes and saw that the woman had probably slept for a long time, with some red marks from sleep on her face. Her clothes were slightly spread out, revealing a hint of breasts. Her red gauze bellyband was slightly bulged, and her pair were round. He couldn't hide his straight desire, but this alluring sleeping look was paired with a pair of extremely resolute eyebrows and sharp teeth that were always piercing.
Lin Rong saw him suddenly looking at her intently, and followed his gaze. He sneered in his heart, but his face softened a little. He lowered his head and called out softly: "Junhou!"
The voice seemed to come from the misty and rainy lake in the distance. It was extremely ethereal. Lu Shen finally sighed, leaned over to caress the woman's face, and almost hugged the woman in his arms: "I have something to ask. You, you have to answer truthfully."
After finishing speaking, before he could say what he wanted to ask, Lu Shen suddenly saw the woman pulling out the golden hairpin from her hair and stabbing it towards his neck angrily.
After all, Lu Shen was a man who had been fighting for many years. Lin Rong tried his best and thought he was caught off guard. Even if such a sharp golden hairpin could not kill Lu Shen, it could still cut him hard on the neck. It was not considered a crime. If you have enough capital, you can at least lose less.
Unfortunately, from Lu Shen's point of view, just a slight push removed Lin Rong's strength and caused her to fall against the wall of the car, but he looked in disbelief: "Cui Shiyi, you are so presumptuous!"
Lin Rong was thrown against the wall of the car with a thud, and most of his arms went numb. He turned his head and looked at Lu Shen: "When we were in Qingzhou, you clearly promised me that you would help me, no longer embarrass me, and allow me to be happy." Return to Jiangzhou and spend the rest of my life in peace. Even the yellow-mouthed children in the market know that what you promise must be kept. You, Lu Shen, a prince and a man in hiding, actually break your promise? You have fooled me and humiliated me again and again. I come and go as soon as you are called, and you can do whatever you want with me. But I don’t know that women are also bloody. Since you don’t want me to live a good life, then I will kill you first, and then commit suicide. It's better to be humiliated by you every day. It's a pity..."
At this point, Lin Rong didn't want to cry, but she couldn't control her tears. Then she shook her head and sighed self-deprecatingly: "Unfortunately, I'm such a waste..."
Humiliation? In the past, the warmth of bed was nothing but humiliation in this woman's eyes. Lu Shen still had no expression on his face. He only held tightly the gold orchid hairpin with beads inlaid that he had snatched, and pierced it into his flesh and blood. He almost gritted his teeth and asked, "Let me ask you, when you come to Yongdi?" But you are not a virgin, but you are having an affair with someone? Have you ever had skin-to-skin contact with that Liang Qi before?"
Skin-to-skin contact? Who is Liang Qi? Although Lin Rong knew that Cui Shiniang failed to elope and committed suicide by jumping off a cliff, he did not know who she eloped with. Even when she heard the word Liang Qi, she could not immediately tell her that she was eloping with Cui Shiniang. Get in touch.
Lin Rong did not answer directly, only smiled slightly, slowly sat up with his hands on his hands, looked into Lu Shen's eyes, and said word by word: "The nobles and nobles are busy with things, and they probably forgot that on the Bomen Duyuntai , I told Junhou that you are the worst man I have ever slept with in my life, of course there is skin-to-skin contact, but I don’t really remember this Liang Qi..."
Even if it's not Liang Qi, there's someone else, or maybe there's more than just someone else...
It's a pity that Lu Shen's patience does have its limit. Lin Rong just said half a sentence before asking him to grab her ankle and drag her to her side. With one hand, she squeezed Lin Rong's throat slightly, causing her face to turn red and her breath to swell. Difficulty: "Okay, Cui Shiyi, if you want to self-determine, I will help you!"
His voice suddenly became calm and rational at this moment, as if he was speaking commonplace words. If he hadn't pinched Lin Rong's throat at this moment, he would have made it impossible for people to see his anger.
Lu Shen gradually exerted force on his hands, and the physical pain of lack of oxygen made Lin Rong shed tears unconsciously. His vision became blurry, and for a moment he almost thought he was suffocating.
The furious face of Lu Shen in front of her suddenly became blurry and turned white. It seemed as if someone was calling her from a distance: "Eleven, eleven, this thicket of thousands of feet of snow has bloomed again. It's so rare. Come here, get the bamboo scissors." Come, cut one, and I will put it on the hairpin for you, and you will definitely get a good husband in the future!"
For a moment, I seemed to hear the voices of my parents: "When you come back from vacation, ask your dad to cook it for you..."
After a while, Lu Shen loosened his strength slightly, and Lin Rong's mind returned, and he was able to speak. His voice was very hoarse. He looked at Lu Shen and said calmly, with tears streaming down his eyes: "If you don't kill me today, I will kill you tomorrow." Opportunity, but it will definitely kill you."
Lu Shen closed his eyes after hearing these words, and then opened them after a long while. He pointed at the white snow outside the car window and said, "I don't kill women. If you want to kill yourself, just freeze to death in this white snow."
After that, Lu Shen stopped looking at Lin Rong, lifted the curtain and got out of the car, took a handsome horse from the guard at the side, and rode away. However, after a while, he could only see a dark shadow in the snow.
After a while, Shen Yan replied from outside the carriage: "Your Majesty, please ask Madam to get out of the carriage. You can go north or south at your will."
Lin Rong wiped away her tears, tied her hair into a bun, and got dressed again. Then she stepped out of the carriage and saw Kingfisher and Fengxiao had already asked several sergeants to stand on the carriage beside them with knives and forks. She burst into tears: "County Master, what happened? Why didn't you ask us to go back to the County Master's carriage to wait on you?"
Lin Rong asked Shen Yan: "Where are these girls?"
Shen Yan said: "The Lord just ordered his wife to get out of the car alone. There were no other instructions. I think Jingiqin and Fengxiao can continue to go north."
Lin Rong exhaled, thinking that the fish would die and the net would be broken, but the net was broken and the fish was unharmed. Now there is no need to involve others, that is the best. She turned to Kingfisher and Fengxiao and said comfortingly: "I'm fine, you follow the sedan and go first."
Kingfisher and Fengxiao were unwilling to do so. They wanted to jump out of the car and asked Shen Yan to wave his hands. Several escorting sergeants immediately drew their swords and forced the two of them back.
Lin Rong stood in the foot-deep snow and immediately shuddered when he saw the queue stretching hundreds of meters away. The north wind blew. She looked around, and everything in her field of vision was covered with white snow. The expression on her face was quite calm - the vast white land was so clean!
Lin Rong did not follow the convoy of the Yongzhou Iron Armored Army, but instead walked towards the river one step at a time. It was winter, it was very cold, and the river had dried up. Lin Rong took off his gorilla felt cloak and squatted on a piece of bluestone. He saw his reflection in the water, with tears on his face, his forehead hair was messy, and his neck was pinched red. A large piece of it, looking very embarrassed.
She squatted on the bluestone for a long time, took out a piece of white silk from her sleeve, washed it carefully, then stood up and nodded with satisfaction.
Lin Rong climbed up from the river bed and walked slowly forward. I don't know how long it took, but she felt that her legs were numb from the cold. She heard the sound of horse hooves behind her from far to near. When he arrived at Lin Rong's side, the leader suddenly pulled the reins and stopped, looked around wildly, and whistled frivolously: "Hey, it's freezing cold here, where are you going, little lady? Why don't you call me Mr. Will Hu Shao have sex with the young lady?"
This man wore a big fox fur hat, but only wore a green cotton robe. He had a beard and looked to be in his forties. Lin Rong has been here for two years. Such a person can be recognized at a glance. He is a wealthy servant in the mansion. She slowly shook her head: "No need."
The people on the horse looked at each other and laughed when they heard the words, and the bearded man said: "Hey, little lady, I am very kind-hearted, but this place is still more than ten miles away from the city. I don't want to scare you, today When it gets dark, wolves come out. Wolves in winter can’t find food. When they find prey, they won’t bite it to death in one bite. They have to drink the blood slowly.”
As soon as he said these words, Lin Rong immediately heard several wolf howls. Lin Rong thought to herself that it would be better to freeze to death than to be bitten to death by a wolf. Just thinking about it made her feel pain. She raised her head and smiled at those people: "To be honest with you guys, I asked the head of the family to drive me out. You guys rescue me." , I’m just afraid of injuring you.”
The bearded man laughed loudly, pulled Lin Rong onto the horse, and said against her earlobe: "Don't be afraid, little lady, our head is the county magistrate of this city, so we can't be harmed."
Then he went around Lin Rong's waist, opened the brocade fur, and put one hand against the inner garment: "What kind of fragrance is this on my little lady?"
Lin Rong grabbed his hand, forced a smile, and whispered: "It's too cold. You rescued me. Of course I can't repay you. When we get into the city, we can do anything. It's cold and cold in this snow." Ask someone to watch."
Then he closed his eyes and kissed the man's temple gently: "I am a womanizer after all, so it's embarrassing to be like this."
The bearded man wanted to be kidnapped by force, but he didn't know that this little lady was so knowledgeable. She suddenly froze half of her body, almost fell off the horse, and nodded repeatedly: "It's very, very, it was me, Lao Hu, who hit the little lady. When we got to the city Here, I will prepare a table with good wine and food, and I will invite the young lady."
After saying this, he waved his riding whip and shouted to the others to go to the city gate.
However, when we were approaching the city gate, a person next to us came over and said, "Brother Hu, look, those two people behind us have been following us. Does that horse look like a military horse?"
Chapter 61
Military horse? The bearded man turned his head and looked over and saw that although the two people on the horse were standing far away, their eyes were staring straight at him. They made no secret of the fact that the horse had a thick neck, a flat body, a thick body, smooth and shiny hair, and the saddle and stirrups were military. Chinese style, ordinary wealthy people would never dare to use it.
The Yong people were martial, and their military achievements were their top priority. They did not dare to hire such a powerful servant who bullied men and dominated women. He quickly ordered: "You are not a kind person. Go back home quickly. Don't know when someone will be recruited."
He walked straight to the county government office. It's just that people like him can't bring beauties back to the house, nor are they qualified to lead people in. He is a walker in the outer courtyard. He has been rewarded by the master in the past two years, but he rents two houses along the street outside the county government office. A woman who is blind in one eye helps her.
Immediately, he rode back to the yard and locked Lin Rong in the house. He pinched her face with a pair of extremely smelly hands and exposed her yellow teeth: "Young lady, take a rest first. When I return to the mansion, I will come back to accompany you." After taking a few steps, a pair of round eyes with green eyes came back: "It was snowing heavily just now, so I couldn't see clearly. The little lady is so skinny... After you serve me for a few days, maybe you can introduce me to a noble person?"
Thinking of this, the colleague outside urged again: "Brother Hu, after waiting for a long time, it's enough. Is the master still waiting for a reply? Hurry up, there is no delay, can people run away?"
When the bearded man heard this, he ignored Lin Rong and hurried out. Then he took out three big coins from his boots and said, "Make a bowl of noodles and bring it in. Watch the door at midnight."
The blind woman thought it was too little: "What a pity! Mr. Caifu came out to see the rewards and carried two large boxes of money. I, a blind woman, just lowered my head and grabbed four or five big coins. Such three coins, and It’s impossible to ask for a face and have someone guard the door.”
The bearded man raised his leg and was about to kick it. He remembered that the beauty was covered in silk and jewelry, so he took out two coins from his sleeves and threw them to the woman: "Look at the good guy, don't be verbose. I'll see if I don't kick you old dog to pieces." legs!"
The old lady took it with a smile, closed the door as soon as the others left, grabbed a handful of thick noodles from the copper kettle in the kitchen, and ignored Lin Rong in the room. When the noodles were cooked, she ate them and sighed. : "The bastard in the brothel will be killed some other time, only then will you realize that there are people more ruthless than you."
…
Lu Shen ran away in anger, galloping all the way, beating the horse through the snow for thirty miles before reining in the reins and letting the horse roam unconsciously in the snow. Seeing that his anger had subsided slightly, Shen Yan dared to come forward. Seeing that Lu Shen's sleeve was stained with blood for some reason, he was surprised and said, "Master, what's wrong with your hand?"
Lu Shen turned the horse's head, and Shen Yan saw a golden hairpin stuck in his master's right hand. The golden hairpin was quite long, half inserted into his palm, and he held the horse's rein and ran wildly. White bones could be seen faintly between the tears, and the flesh and blood were a blur.
Lu Shen slowly took out the golden hairpin, put it into his sleeve, and asked lightly: "What's the matter?"
Shen Yan didn't dare to ask how he did that hand, and lowered his head to report back: "It's windy and snowy today, and it's getting late. Three or four miles ahead is the county seat. The county magistrate here was the former chief clerk of Pei Linggong, and he has been here for a long time. We are waiting at the city gate. I wonder if I can see you?"
Lu Shen turned around and asked: "Is there anyone under Pei Linggong's family today? It's rare, it's rare!" Then he rode into the city and ordered: "Call!"
The county magistrate dressed up for the audience, and he was also a pragmatic official. When Lu Shen met, he talked about the crops and canals, the fertile fields and forests, the rural army training, and the achievements of the prison, all without hesitation or delay. It means something.
Lu Shen was never very fond of praising others, so when he saw this, he said: "It's very much like Pei Linggong's legacy!"
The county magistrate did not dare to say: "I am a humble minister, and I dare not compare myself with Zhu Ri. I am stupid, but I have received some advice from Pei Linggong, and I will serve him for the rest of my life."
It is easy for people to like such a self-effacing person. Lu Shen nodded with a smile, patiently said something over a cup of tea, and finally said: "I will benefit a lot from having a chat with you."
The county magistrate said he did not dare and bowed out of the door. No matter how humble a person was, he felt quite complacent. When he returned to the mansion, he saw that it had snowed heavily. He waved his hand and said, "Carry a few baskets of money and scatter them on the street. Let's accumulate good deeds." Blessed, years and years have accumulated, and today is a good day for me, sir."
As soon as the county magistrate who was waiting to meet him left, Lu Shen heard Shen Yan replying outside the door: "Sir, the secret guards following my wife are back. According to my instructions, the two of them are still guarding my wife, and one of them will come back to report."
Lu Shen had a pleasant conversation with the county magistrate. Hearing this, he smiled and asked, "How long has it been?"
Even though Shen Yan prided himself on being good at reading his master's eyes, he was unexpectedly asked this question. He didn't know what the question was about. He was stunned for a while and then tried to say: "It has been three hours since my master abandoned his carriage and dismounted his horse. "
Lu Shen's right hand was not bandaged, and no one dared to complain about it. At first, it was freezing outside in the ice and snow, so he didn't feel anything. Now that it was warmer, some blood began to drip out. He looked at the lamp for a long time, and then Order: "Xuan!"
The person was called in immediately. Shen Yan was always alert and immediately hid out. The secret guard knelt in the hall. Every time he said another word, Lu Shen's dark eyes lowered: "Your Majesty, Madam got off the car, stood in the snow for a long time, went to the glacier to freshen up, and then headed forward. After walking straight for an hour, she was pulled onto the horse by a farmer in his forties who was on his way..."
At this point, the secret guard was so silenced by the cold atmosphere in the room that he did not dare to speak: "Then, I don't know what the madam said to the man. They both laughed, and the madam seemed to... seemed to have kissed the corner of the banker's eye. one time."
The secret guard is the eyes of the master, no matter how ugly the words are, he will tell the truth. The secret guard took a breath and finished speaking in one breath: "My wife is now placed in her own yard by the farmer. I don't know how to deal with her low position." ?”
Lu Shen clenched his fist and turned around. The arrow sleeves he had just changed after a while were already soaked with blood, but he didn't feel any pain. It took him a while to speak, his tone full of bloodthirsty: "What do you think we should do with it? "
…
It's just that the secret guard was wrong about one thing. The bearded man was not a banker, but a gangster from another county. Because of his strength, he won the favor of the steward of the county magistrate's office and usually worked as a thug to collect tenant rent. . That night, the county magistrate was encouraged by Lu Shen and was in a good mood. He rewarded everyone without hearing anything in return.
A man with a beard is not qualified to meet the prince. When he replied to the housekeeper, each person got a thousand coins and a table of good wine and meat. After they were full of wine and food, another visitor said: "You go back, the prince will be here tomorrow." I want to see you in person.”
The bearded man was so drunk that he forgot all about the beauties in the yard. He left the county magistrate's house and burped with wine as he loosened his belt. From a distance, he saw a dark figure standing at the entrance of the alley and spat. One mouthful: "Get away quickly, where are the cats and dogs from? They dare to block your Master Hu..." They dare to block your Master Hu's way.
Before he finished speaking, he saw the black shadow holding a knife and dropping it. A large amount of blood spattered on the green bricks. The bearded head rolled like a chamber pot at the visitor's feet, and his eyes widened.
The black figure wrapped his head with a piece of green cloth and lifted it up to die. The incident in the alley only happened within a few breaths, and only a few barks of dogs were heard.
Lin Rong was not tied up here at all. He sat quietly and rested for a while. He only heard a woman walking around outside and no one else. It was not difficult to get out. But at this time, she had been walking in the snow for an unknown amount of time, and her legs and feet were so cold that she could feel nothing. When she took off her shoes and socks, she discovered that she had already developed several blood blisters.
She was most afraid of the pain, so she used her hands to pierce them one by one, scolded Lu Shen a hundred and eighty times in her heart, and picked off a jade earring. Then she called the old woman to the door: "Mother-in-law, Open the door for me, and I'll give you this ear harp."
The woman's eyes lit up, she was greedy for money, so she hurriedly opened the door: "That bastard in the brothel is willing to give you this thing, it must be worth at least two hundred bucks! Let's agree first, it will only be allowed in the yard You have to move around inside, but you can’t go out.”
As soon as I opened the door and caught the earring in my hand, I heard a heartbreaking cry from the yard next door: "My son, my poor son..."
When the old lady saw Lin Rong looking over there, she said, "She's the daughter-in-law of Hu Guanshi's family. The new baby is only three years old. He has a big boil on his buttocks. The doctor hired a lot of doctors and gave him five prescriptions." Even the reward of thousands of coins is not enough, I guess it is not possible anymore." He wiped the jade earring with his sleeve and asked, "Is this jade or jade? Where did you buy it?"
Lin Rong stood quietly in the court, hearing the mother's miserable cry, and said to the woman, "I know how to cure this disease, and I will share half of the reward with you."
The woman was half awake and half doubtful, but still eager to reward the money. She hurriedly led Lin Rong over, talking nonsense, not saying she was a doctor, but talking nonsense, and it was passed down from ancestors, and It was taught by the master in the temple. Finally, he pushed Lin Rong forward: "Can you really cure it?"
The people living outside the county government office were all acquaintances, and they were all in urgent need of medical treatment. Seeing that it was a young woman, they couldn't care less. The family had only one Miao Miao, and the female relatives all looked at Lin Rong eagerly: "Can the girl really be cured? "
Lin Rong saw that the boy was crying loudly, his forehead was covered with sweat, and there was a big boil on his thigh. When he reached out and touched it, he found that the surrounding areas had become hard and white. It was obvious that he was in the advanced stage of the disease. This kind of disease is easy to treat in modern times. Incision and drainage are required to completely eliminate the pus. After suturing, broad-spectrum antibiotics are administered for a week. Most patients can recover and go home, waiting for the stitches to be removed.
Lin Rong nodded: "It can be cured, but the risk is very high. It needs surgery to cut it off. There is no guarantee that it will be cured." As he spoke, he took out the gold needle from his purse, disinfected it with the liquor on the table next to him, and put it into the child's head. Acupuncture was used at the sixth chest area of the Du Channel and at the junction of Houxi and Gu. After a short while, the child's pain subsided slightly and his crying gradually subsided.
Everyone in the room heard the operation, and shook their heads in fear. The housekeeper waved his hand to drive Lin Rong out. Suddenly he saw Lin Rong showing his hand. They were shocked and immediately raised their hands: "Please help me, girl! Please help me!"
…
Lin Rong nodded and ordered himself to prepare a knife, medicinal materials, spirits, and cotton. He was busy until midnight, and then rolled up his sleeves: "To prevent bacterial infection, I will prescribe a medicine. Take it for a day. If it doesn't work, I will prescribe another medicine." .”
The couple saw that their child looked much better and could sleep even though a large piece of pus-filled flesh had been cut off by an operation, so they immediately offered their hands and expressed their gratitude.
Lin Rong was sitting at the table, writing and thinking about the broad-spectrum antibacterial properties of traditional Chinese medicine. He was writing down two or three medicinal materials when a strong wind blew and opened the thick door curtain. In the snowflakes all over the sky, Lu Shen was standing quietly. I don’t know how long I stood there, but my brows on my shoulders were all white.
