At night, there will be howling wolves in the mountains, and the roar of unknown beasts is daunting.
Even a girl's family dared to spend the night on the mountain!
Chu Zhiyi tightened his fists, and without waiting for Nanny Fang to explain her purpose, he ordered: "Shu Ying, take people to the mountains to find someone, and be sure to bring Miss Lian San back safely!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Aunt Fang was so worried that she almost cried.
"Don't worry, Mammy, go back and wait for the news."
It was already completely dark, and the howling north wind whipped up snow particles and hit them on the face, making the person unable to open his eyes. It was winter all of a sudden.
Aunt Fang responded and exited. When she opened the door, the candle blown by the wind that slipped into the room was clearly extinguished. Chu Zhiyi looked at the beating shadow of the candle, took the crutches and stood up, and walked to the door with difficulty.
Everywhere on his legs hurt, and he gritted his teeth and raised his feet to cross the threshold.
The fire in the courtyard went out.
"Master has ordered us to go all out to find Miss Lian San!"
Shuying gathered his men and left two secret guards to take care of his master, while the rest dispersed into the mountains.
The night was long.
It was very cold in the mountains, and even Suisui wanted to give up. Venetia japonica grows in places with abundant water vapor, but it cannot withstand severe cold. Can it really be found in the mountains?
Passing by a valley, it was completely different from the outside. The snowflakes had already turned into water before falling into the valley, like warm spring rain.
A green meadow in the valley.
Looking up, there are white flower buds hidden among the green plants on the cliff.
Bai Ye Tan!
Surprise for Sui Sui!
The Venetian Night's Eve itself is poisonous, and there are snakes and insects guarding it. Fortunately, it is winter now, and the snakes and insects hibernate. The Night's Night's Night grows on the cliff. She went around to the opposite cliff and tied a rope to go down.
There was a layer of ice on the snowy cliff and it was very slippery. It was difficult to get down to the place where the night sky grows. The flower buds of the night sky were closed and the leaves were filled with rainwater.
She carefully cleaned up the rainwater, took out a cotton coat from her backpack and put it on top to prevent the herbs she finally found from being damaged by the rainwater.
Centifolia blooms at night, and blooms only for a moment. She has to wait until night to collect nectar.
There was only a foot wide place to stand on the cliff, and even Suisui's weight hung on the rope, guarding it carefully.
Looking down at the bottom of the mist-shrouded cliff at her feet, she felt emotional. In just a few decades of life, she had done exactly the meaningful things.
After returning to Beijing, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles she encounters, she must first open her own pharmacy.
Waiting until midnight, just after midnight, the flower buds beside him suddenly opened slowly as if they had woken up from sleep. Lian Suisui hurriedly took out the porcelain vase to collect nectar.
She moved very quickly, and the flower buds quickly closed.
Put away the porcelain bottle, take out a small shovel, dig out the entire epiphyllum plant by the roots, apply special potion on the roots, and then wrap it with cotton cloth to ensure that the whole plant will not die immediately, and carefully wrap the plant with cotton cloth Get up to avoid frostbite.
This is the trouble with this kind of medicinal material. It is difficult to maintain. Once it is moved to another place, it will not bloom again, and its nectar is the medicinal primer that wakes up the flowing fireflies. Both of them are indispensable. They must be dug out before Collect nectar.
The light was dim, and Lian Suisui spent a lot of energy hanging on the cliff. When climbing up, she missed her foot and hit her knee on the rock. The pain still made her wince through her cotton pants.
She persisted in climbing up, but the wind at the top almost blew her away.
It is easy to lose body temperature after being exposed to the cold wind for a long time. Lian Suisui did not dare to stop and walked down the mountain at night. The road was slippery in the snow. When she reached the foot of the mountain, she fell countless times and injured her knee. My ankle sprained again.
He took a long breath, and all his good luck today was used to find Baiye Yetan... He found a place with leeward and sat down.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and it looks like we can only wait until dawn before going down the mountain.
The howling north wind blew low roars everywhere in the forest. It was impossible to tell whether they were unknown beasts or the sounds coming from tree holes.
Lian Suisui, who has been living in the wild all year round, knows that he must find a safe place to hide.
Her ankle hurt terribly, so she found some relatively straight branches to wrap up her ankle. Lian Suisui found the cave where she came from and lit a fire. Feeling exhausted, she lay down with her clothes on.
She was so tired that she was still thinking before she fell asleep. If she didn't go back tonight, Xiaotao and Aunt Fang would go crazy with anxiety!
But she didn't know that Chu Zhiyi's people outside were looking for her like crazy.
Grandma Fang waited all night. It was already dawn outside, but she still didn't hear any news.
"Xiao Tao, let's go find the Ninth Prince and ask..."
Xiao Tao knocked on the door of the courtyard next door. Only an old servant opened the door.
"Miss Xiao Tao, the Ninth Prince has gone into the mountain in person. He will definitely find the third young lady today! The third young lady will definitely come back safely!"
hope so!
Aunt Fang clasped her hands together and muttered for a long time. Xiao Tao had no choice but to imitate her and kowtow in various directions...
Lian Suisui wouldn't sleep long in the wild. She woke up as soon as the fire was out. She walked to the cave door and took a look outside. She didn't know when the snow stopped. The snow in the deep mountains was full of messy footprints.
Footprints of wild beasts?
She took a closer look. It didn't look like a human being.
There were many rocks and vines in front of the cave, and it was covered with snow in half an hour.
The person looking for her didn't notice her for a while, and passed by the cave door several times without noticing her.
"Miss Liansan is here!"
A person suddenly appeared in the forest, pointed at her and said to the person behind her.
Lian Suisui was confused.
"You are looking for me..."
The unspoken words were wrapped in the scent of medicine. The person holding her was cold all over, and all the weight was on her. One of her legs was injured again, and the two of them lost their center of gravity and fell backwards to the ground.
The cave is not big, and the backpack is placed not far away. Lian Suisui hurriedly protected the venetian leaf night that he had finally picked, and said angrily: "My night!"
Chu Zhiyi was afraid of throwing her, so he lay underneath and held her tightly with both hands.
Lian Suisui couldn't move. Seeing the basket on his back was knocked down and rolled towards the still smoking fire, he stretched out his hand to push him.
"If you don't let go, your antidote will be burned by the fire!"
What's going on with this guy!
Lian Suisui broke away from him and ran over to hold up the basket, caressing the leaves whose juice had been smashed out. Every leaf could not be wasted, otherwise the poison would not be fully detoxified and she would be in trouble.
Chu Zhiyi scolded: "Just for a medicinal herb, I risk my life!"
The fear of not being able to find her in the vast snow...
"Hey, are you being unreasonable? Who am I doing this for?"
Lian Suisui was hugged by him again.
The guards didn't dare to come in. Their master and Miss Lian San...
"Let's talk first, I found the antidote, so I have to pay more."
Chu Zhiyi sat up with his hands on the ground.
"Third Miss, you didn't return home last night. Our master was extremely worried and went to the mountain to look for you in person, fearing that you might be in danger."
His eyes fell on Lian Suisui's bandaged ankles and knees, and he said without conscience, "Fortunately you are okay, otherwise, my master..."
Chu Zhiyi glared at him, and Shuying hurriedly closed his mouth.
Lian Suisui looked at his legs in surprise.
"Can you walk?"
Originally he wouldn't, but he was so anxious last night that he walked so far... Now he feels that his legs are numb.
Lian Suisui didn't feel any pain in his legs at first. He wanted to stand up, but his toes were too painful to touch the ground.
"It's better now, I'm a cripple too..." She couldn't ignore the burning light in Chu Zhiyi's eyes, and joked to herself, "How do we get down the mountain?"
Chu Zhiyi was a little annoyed at first. He couldn't control his emotions just now. The moment he saw her, he was afraid that she would leave him like his mother and concubine did before, so he rushed up to hold her in his arms.
But she forgot about the differences between men and women, and forgot that...she had rejected herself.
Luckily she's okay, thankfully!
Shuying called the guards and carried the two people down the mountain on a stretcher.
Seeing Lian Suisui lying down and pretending to be dead, Chu Zhiyi couldn't help but laugh. That time in the palace, her first reaction was to pretend to be dead.
Are you so afraid of him?
"Miss!"
Xiao Tao's loud voice was so penetrating that even Suisui sat up and looked over.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Aunt Fang's lips trembled, her hands clasped together and she kowtowed in all directions.
"God bless, God bless..."
"Old slave, I would like to thank the prince for your rescue on behalf of my wife!"
Lian Suisui looked back and saw that Chu Zhiyi's lips were very white and he was in a bad state.
