Chapter 85 Message
An Yuanxi and I temporarily stayed at Mrs. Yixia's house to recover from my injuries. At first I was worried that our whereabouts would be publicized, but An Yuanxi had already observed the environment while I was in a coma.Aunt Yixia's family is in a small nomadic tribe that migrates by water and grass. There are only a dozen households in this tribe, with dozens of people in total, and each household is relatively scattered and does not gather together.Most of the people in the tribe are simple and kind, and they all believed An Yuanxi's lies, thinking that our caravan met a caravan, the goods were robbed, and on the way back to Tianzhao Kingdom, we were attacked and injured by two old wolves.There was no news that An Yuanxi and I were punished in the imperial capital. Maybe the royal family of Yaoyue Kingdom deliberately concealed it, but instead gave An Yuanxi and me a breathing space.

Because of the lack of herbs, the wound on my back healed very slowly. A few days ago, An Yuanxi and Er Lun went to Langya Spring together. It is said that there are a lot of chamaejasma growing beside the stream.It takes four days to go back and forth from Langya Spring to Aunt Yixia's tribe. Before An Yuanxi saw that I had been in a coma with a fever, he didn't dare to leave. He just looked for medicinal herbs nearby. Now that I was awake, he asked Brother Erlun to take him there.Regarding An Shudai's decision, I didn't say anything, and I felt hypocritical if I said too much. I feel deeply about what An Yuanxi has done for me.

I have been lying on the bed, unable to turn over, and I feel very difficult after a long time. Fortunately, I have a pair of sons and daughters of Brother Erlun, eight-year-old Danny and six-year-old Jinsha, to accompany me.The two little guys were very curious about me, a woman from Tianzhao Kingdom. At first, they just hid outside the door and peeked at me, seeing me smiling at them, so they dared to come in and "harass" me, a patient.Over the past few days, I have told many stories about coaxing the children in my stomach, and I have successfully won their friendship.The two children reciprocated, and also told me where the pastures are the most abundant on the prairie of Yaoyue Kingdom, where the lakes are the purest, which tribe has the most beautiful girls, and which tribe has the best horses... Their childish words accompany me Spent the unbearable time on the sick bed.

"Sister Ahua, what else is there to do in Tianzhao Kingdom?" Jin Sha squatted under the kang, with her hands lying on the edge of the kang, tilting her head and asking curiously and enviously.I just told her and Danny about the shadow puppet show in Tianzhao Kingdom, about the monkey jugglers on the street, and about the puppet pulling strings, which made the two little guys exclaim incessantly.I smiled and stroked Jinsha's hair, Tianzhao Kingdom... I don't know much about it than the two children in front of me.Danny also excitedly asked: "Sister Ahua, does Tianzhao have a horse racing meeting?"

Race meeting?I couldn't help but think of the oolong drama a few days ago, I smiled and sighed slightly: "There is no horse racing meeting in Tianzhao Kingdom, and the men there don't use horse racing as a way to show their bravery. They..." They are different from the simple grassland people , They like to intrigue, like to calculate and calculate, and they are also known as strategies.

The door was gently pushed open, and Liz, the mother of two children, walked in and said with a smile: "You two little fellows, you are really ignorant, and you came to disturb Nataro's rest again."

"Mom, we are listening to Sister Ahua's story." Jin Sha threw herself into her mother's arms and said coquettishly.Liz hugged her dotingly: "Nataro is injured, you keep coming to disturb her, she will not sleep well."

"Sister Liz, they didn't bother me, I just want to thank them for accompanying me." I smiled.

"Yes, yes, we are accompanying Sister Ahua!" Danny answered cleverly, Liz scolded with a smile, "I don't know you yet, come on, don't stay here, your dad is back, and you still have Back to your favorite baby."

"Really?" Danny's eyes lit up, and he rushed out of the house immediately.Jin Sha quickly got out of her mother's arms and ran out with her brother: "I'm going too..."

"Are they back?" I smiled and watched the two children scrambling to run out, and looked up at Liz.Lisi smiled and said: "Yes, just after I came back, Anu Puba went to find Mama with medicine. This time, Erlun fell into a wild horse on the road. He was very happy, and now he is still setting up that guy outside."

It sounded like a good trip, I pursed my lips.An Yuanxi opened the door and came in with an excited expression. Seeing Liz in the room, she bowed and walked over.Liz smiled and left the room, An Yuanxi squatted beside the bed, and said happily: "How is your injury? We picked a lot of chamaejasma chamaejasma back, Mrs. Yixia said it was enough to heal your injury, and now I am pumping it for you." What about the medicine?"

"I'm fine." I looked at him with a smile, probably because he was in a good mood, and his face showed no signs of fatigue. I said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, how are you doing along the way?"

"It went well. Brother Erlun is really good. He subdued a wild horse on the way back." An Yuanxi's eyes lit up and said excitedly, "Do you know what I saw? I saw a herd of wild horses, a huge group of wild horses , the number is innumerable, galloping across the grassland like mountains and seas, that scene is extremely spectacular and shocking..."

I smiled and looked at his excited expression of dancing and dancing, and I can imagine how shocked he was by the scene of galloping horses.The turbulence and treachery of nature cannot be opened by reading a few books, so the proverb "reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles" has been passed down to this day.

An Yuanxi happily described it for a long time. Seeing me smiling at him, he put away his happy expression and said in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I'm a little carried away."

This moment of ecstasy is also his true temperament, which is much cuter than usual full of pedantry.I laughed and said, "The wild horses brought back by Brother Erlun are from this group of wild horses?"

"Well, it's a mare, and that horse is all white, no worse than the white horse that Prince Ulay rides." He nodded with admiration on his face, "I heard that Brother Erlun said that the horse is a top-quality foal. There is a shortage of this kind of good horse that can be bred, and the coke is broken. Speaking of it, that horse is really good. Brother Erlun rides on it, and in a short time, he can throw the horse I am riding a long way... ..."

"Is that because of your poor riding skills?" I embarrassed him.An Yuanxi didn't know how to ride a horse before. After arriving in this tribe, in order to help me find medicine, he bravely rode a horse. I don't know how Er Lun taught him, but now he can ride a horse and let him go slowly. .

"No matter how bad it is, it's better than someone who can't ride." An Yuanxi put on a joking expression, and raised the corners of his lips. I was startled, how did this idiot learn to talk back recently?I glared at him: "An Yuanxi!" I accidentally pulled my back, and suddenly frowned in pain, An Yuanxi was startled: "Don't move, I'll go see Mrs. Yixia's medicine pound No." He said and ran out in a panic.

After waiting for a while, Aunt Yisha came in with a medicine bowl and gauze.She walked over with a smile, carefully pulled the quilt off my body, and said happily, "Let me apply medicine to Nataro. With these herbs, Nataro's injury will heal soon."

"Thank you, ma'am." I said gratefully, this family is all pure and kind people, if we hadn't met them, An Yuanxi and I would have died long ago. "Don't be polite to me." Aunt Yi Xia rolled the quilt aside, my naked upper body was suddenly exposed to the slightly cool air from the warm quilt, and goose bumps all over my body immediately.The aunt carefully applied the medicine on my wound. At first, the wound felt a little cold, and then I felt a burning sensation. I took a breath, and Aunt Yisha smiled and said, "Is it a bit of a burning pain? This medicine is just right after applying the medicine." In this way, it’s right to feel warm.”

She put clean gauze on the medicine, and I let her fiddle with it with peace of mind. I hurt my back anyway, and I couldn't see what she was doing.After a while, she stopped, covered me again with the rolled quilt, and said with a smile: "After applying this medicine for three or four days, the scab will heal. I will change the medicine for you tomorrow. How many times have you You still have to lie on your stomach, and you can’t turn over at will.”

I nodded, and the scabs would heal in three or four days. It seems that An Yuanxi and I will be able to return to Cangdu soon.I don't know how the shop is doing now, have you received the letter brought back by An Yuanxi?Yu Die'er can't wait for us to go back in the border town. I don't know if she will come to the grassland to find us?Now that An Yuanxi and I are hiding in this small tribe, it may not be easy to find Yu Die'er, we have been keeping silent, Yu Die'er may be going crazy, but there is nothing we can do.

After changing the medicine for a few days, the scratches on my back really started to scab. I no longer have to sleep on my stomach all day, I can put on clothes, get out of bed and walk around. Apart from not being able to lie flat, sleeping sideways is no problem anymore.I originally wanted to bid farewell to Aunt Yixia's family with An Yuanxi and set off to return to Cangdu, but Aunt Yixia stopped her and said, "The wound on your back has just scabbed, and it will crack if you don't pay attention. Hurry up and hit the road, and you have to raise it for a few more until the scabs start to fall off before you can go."

An Yuanxi was worried that my wound would cause problems on the road, and I agreed with Aunt Yisha's opinion. I knew that Aunt Yisha was telling the truth. Although I was worried about the things in the shop, I had to put it aside for the time being. It seems that we still have to stay in this tribe. Stayed for a few days.In the past few days, a strange thing happened in the tribe. Ever since Big Brother Erlun brought back the white mare, on the second night, a black male wild horse ran to the stable, and made a close relationship with the white mare. The horses grind together, refusing to leave, but they are angry when they see people, with an expression of wishing to kill them quickly, as soon as someone approaches, the horse will start to go crazy, and the dark horse will flash away at dawn, and it will be dark Again, this matter has spread throughout the tribe, and it is said that the black horse is the king of wild horses, and it is even more rare in a hundred years than the white horse.I heard An Yuanxi talk about this with Danny and Jin Sha, and I wished I could get up immediately to see the two legendary lover horses, but An Yuanxi felt that the wound on my back hadn’t healed yet. The scab, on the grounds that he couldn't move around, insisted on not letting me get up, and I was so angry that I wanted to bite him a few times.

I finally waited for the wound to heal. I heard that Brother Erlun has made a lot of preparations in the past few days. I want to subdue this dark horse tonight. I was so excited that I got dressed and ran out, but I didn’t see the legendary white horse in the stable. .An Yuanxi said that Brother Erlun had ridden the white horse out, and that the lowered horse could not be in the tribe for fear of hurting people. I was very disappointed.

I didn’t want to go back, and I lay on the bed for too long, so I simply walked around. Danny and Jinsha enthusiastically took me to visit their tribe. After I walked out of the room, I found out that the “house” where I lived for many days "It's not a house at all, but a large taupe tent that looks like a yurt. However, this tent is not round, but square. The tarpaulin is not known to be animal leather. From the inside, it can't be seen that it is a tent at all. .The scattered dwellings of this small tribe are full of such tents.Don't the people of Yaoyue respect white?Why not use a white tent?While I was wondering, I suddenly saw a few people wearing Tianzhao costumes outside a house. They looked like business travelers on the grassland to buy goods. I couldn't help being overjoyed and rushed up to ask if they were The caravan back to Tianzhao Kingdom was disappointed. They just arrived in Yaoyue Kingdom, and they still had to buy furs on the grasslands. They didn’t go back until a month later, and they might not be able to pass through this tribe when they returned.

It seems that I can't count on them. I was a little frustrated, but I still couldn't help inquiring about the situation in Cangdu. The leading businessman said with a smile: "Girl, we are not merchants in Cangdu, we are from the capital."

"The capital city?" I was stunned, and my thoughts were flooded in an instant. The elder brother of the Wei family has been back to Beijing for several months. Although he wrote a few letters to report his safety, I don't know his specific situation. There are also Fengge and Hongye, I don't know if it's good or not?I tentatively said, "Brother, is there anything new in Beijing recently?"

I don’t know if there is anything wrong with the adult that brother Wei family wants to help. If there is nothing wrong, brother should be safe too, right?The businessman said with a smile: "Recently there has been a major event in the capital. The concubine De in the palace was pregnant with dragon veins and was conferred the title of Concubine Degui by the emperor. This is the first empress in the palace to have good news. Wei Chengxiang was overjoyed, Three days in the capital to give to the poor, to accumulate blessings for the noble concubine..."

Concubine De... Are you happy?I lost my mind for a moment, and I never listened to what the businessman said.
