The fire in the blacksmith shop was booming and the heat was rolling. The blacksmith master looked him up and down, and saw that he was still strong, so he left him to help carry heavy objects and pull the bellows.
Shi Dami did not dare to slack off at all and immediately devoted himself to heavy work. The heavy iron block was steadily placed in his hands and accurately placed on the anvil. Every time he pulled the bellows, he used all his strength, and the fire burned with it, reflecting his sweat-covered but resolute face.
As the days passed, Shi Dami gradually got used to the high temperature and noise in the blacksmith shop, and his hands became stronger and more proficient in his movements.
In his spare time, he would silently observe the blacksmith's skills of making irons. The jingling and beating sound seemed to have become a unique music in his ears.
Occasionally, if there is something he doesn't understand, he will ask carefully while his master is resting.
Seeing that he was diligent and studious, the master taught him some tips for making irons.
Shi Dami was like a treasure, and practiced repeatedly, gradually, he was able to create some simple objects.
However, the speed of saving wages is still slow, and it seems that the goal of buying a horse and going home is still far away.
But Shi Dami was not discouraged at all. He knew that as long as he persisted, one day he would take enough money to ride his own horse and embark on the road to return to the land he had been thinking about day and night.
On that day, Xi Yu came to Kunlun Mountain and asked Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong to get off the horse together, and then go up the mountain together.
After the two of them got off the horse, Luo Xiaoyu walked straight towards Xiaohong, with gentle eyes and a hint of expectation. He gently stretched out his hand and steadily held Xiaohong's arm. When Xiaohong touched Luo Xiaoyu's hand, he instantly remembered Luo Xiaoyu's confession to him a few days ago. His affectionate appearance and sincere words suddenly surged into his heart, and his cheeks turned red with a "swish".
She lowered her head slightly, avoiding Luo Xiaoyu's hot gaze, and her heartbeat also accelerated sharply.
Seeing Xiaohong's shy appearance, Luo Xiaoyu raised her mouth slightly, and her heart was filled with joy, but she was afraid that Xiaohong would be too embarrassed, so she just said softly: "This mountain road is not easy to walk on, I will be safer if I support you."
Xiaohong let out a light "um" and her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
Xi Yu watched the interaction between the two, and felt funny in his heart. He deliberately coughed and said, "If you two are ready, let's go up the mountain as soon as possible. It's getting late."
As he said that, he walked forward.
Luo Xiaoyu held Xiaohong and followed Xi Yu carefully, walking towards the mountain step by step.
The air on the mountain is fresh and cold, and the surroundings are quiet, with only their footsteps and the occasional bird song.
There were Taoist boys patrolling the mountain, but they all knew the Prime Minister. When they saw Xi Yu coming, they immediately saluted. Xi Yu said they were here to find Taoist priests Qingfeng Mingyue.
The little Taoist boys did not dare to be negligent, so they hurriedly led the way in front and said respectfully: "Prime Minister, the two Taoist priests are in the back mountain, so the younger one will go and report."
Xi Yu nodded slightly and followed the Taoist boy to the back mountain with Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong.
Xiaohong followed behind and looked at the surrounding scenery curiously. He saw that the Kunlun Mountain Taoist Temple was magnificent, with pavilions and towers scattered in an orderly manner, surrounded by clouds and mist, as if it was a fairyland.
Luo Xiaoyu always pays attention to Xiaohong, for fear that she will trip over the stones on the road. Occasionally, the two of them will meet their eyes, and Xiaohong will remember her previous confession, so she quickly turned her eyes away with blushing.
Soon, he came to a quiet courtyard. After the Taoist boy went in to report, he soon came out, the two Taoist priests Qingfeng Mingyue came out.
Taoist Qingfeng looked like a torch and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, come today, what's wrong?"
Xi Yu bowed and said, "The two Taoist priests have not seen each other for a long time. This time, there is actually something important to discuss."
Taoist Master Mingyue looked at Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong, nodded slightly, and said, "Then let's talk about it in detail first."
Everyone walked into the house together and started discussing, but Xiaohong had not yet recovered from her shyness and stood quietly aside, and her thoughts had already drifted away.
Then, Xi Yu spoke with a serious expression of Xiaohong's amnesia to the two Taoist priests Qingfeng Mingyue. His words were concise and clear but clear, and he emphasized that the memory that his wife lost last time was only as good as before under the exquisite medical skills and mysterious Taoist Techniques of the two Taoist priests. He sincerely asked the two Taoist priests to use their skills again.
Please help check Xiaohong's condition and see if you can find a way to restore your memory.
When Qingfeng and Mingyue heard this, their expressions became focused and serious. After looking at each other, they slowly moved their eyes to Xiaohong.
Luo Xiaoyu has been standing beside Xiaohong, full of concern. Seeing this, he turned slightly, approached Xiaohong's ears, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, the two Taoist priests have great magical powers and will definitely help you. Let's go to them as soon as possible." His voice was soft and with a hint of soothing power.
Xiaohong bit her lip slightly, her hands unconsciously tightened the corners of her clothes, and a complex emotion of tension and expectation flashed in her eyes.
She took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the two Taoist priests Qingfeng Mingyue, standing in front of them, and bowing her head slightly.
Seeing Xiaohong's expression was tense and his face was tense, Master Qingfeng smiled and said, "Child, don't be nervous, just sit down first and relax."
The sound was gentle and mellow, like the spring breeze blowing on the face, carrying a reassuring power.
Xiaohong looked up at Taoist Master Qingfeng, nodded slightly, sat down slowly as he spoke, folded his hands on his knees, but still trembled slightly unconsciously.
Taoist Master Mingyue walked forward, with concentration and professionalism in his eyes, and said softly: "Girl, stretch out your hand, I'll take my pulse and see what's going on."
Xiaohong hesitated for a moment, but slowly stretched out her hand. Her slender wrist was exposed to the air, looking a little helpless.
Taoist Master Mingyue gently put his hands on his hands, pressed his three fingers steadily on the pulse, closed his eyes slightly, and felt the pulse beating with concentration. For a moment, the room was quiet and silent, and only the breathing sounds of people, which were nervous or expectant, rose and fell gently in the air.
After a while, Taoist Master Mingyue slowly opened his eyes, shook his head gently, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face. He turned to Xi Yu and said, "Sir, this girl's amnesia is different from the situation of the Prime Minister's wife last time. We are really powerless."
When Xi Yu heard this, his brows frowned and his eyes were filled with disappointment.
Xiaohong's eyes, which were originally full of expectations, dimmed in an instant, her lips trembled slightly, and her heart was filled with loss like a tide. She slowly lowered her head and held the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands.
Seeing this, Luo Xiaoyu's face was covered with clouds. He bit his lower lip tightly, revealing unwillingness and heartache in his eyes.
He walked gently to Xiaohong, wanting to comfort her but didn't know where to start, but just stood by her silently and gave her a trace of silent support with his own existence.
Seeing this, Master Qingfeng sighed slightly, walked up and said, "Let me try it too."
As he said that, he also put his finger on Xiaohong's pulse. The atmosphere in the room became solemn again. Everyone held their breath and looked forward to a turning point that might appear.
After a while, Master Qingfeng also put down his hand, sighed heavily, looked at Xi Yu and said, "Mingyue's conclusion is correct. This girl's pulse is disordered and complicated, and the sorrow of memory cannot be solved by us."
When Xiaohong heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red, and teardrops as big as beans rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and her hope was instantly shattered. The deep sense of helplessness surrounded her tightly.
Seeing that Xiaohong was so sad, Xi Yu couldn't bear it, so he quickly stepped forward and said, "Xiaohong, don't be discouraged. Didn't the miracle doctor Song Shuwen say there is another way? Let's go to him and ask him clearly, there will always be a way to restore your memory."
Luo Xiaoyu also echoed on the side: "Yes, Xiaohong, stop crying, we will definitely find a way." He said, patting Xiaohong's shoulder gently, his eyes full of determination and concern, trying to give Xiaohong a little comfort in this way, so that she could stop crying and rekindle hope.
Taoist Qingfeng showed a hint of doubt in his eyes, and looked at Xi Yu and asked, "Prime Minister, I wonder what this magic doctor Song said?"
Xi Yu expressed his serious expression that Song Shuwen mentioned that he was going to the extremely cold place to find herbs, and his words were full of expectations for Xiaohong to recover his memory.
After Qingfeng and Mingyue looked at each other, Qingfeng nodded slightly and said, "Since that's the case, it's worth a try for this girl, but the extremely cold place is full of dangers, and there are many difficulties and obstacles along the way."
Xi Yu nodded slightly, then turned to the two Taoist priests, bowed and asked earnestly: "Two Taoist priests, I don't know how long it takes to find herbs this time. I want Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong to stay in this Taoist temple. I wonder if it is convenient? I hope the two Taoist priests can go there."
After thinking for a while, the two Taoist priests nodded and agreed to Xi Yu's request.
When Xiaohong heard that Xi Yu was going to go to the extremely cold place for herself, her eyes were filled with emotion and guilt. She whispered: "Prime Minister, you are going to such dangerous places for me. I... I am really sorry."
Xi Yu said with a firm look and unquestionable expression: "This matter is settled, no one should mention it again. Today, everyone is tired, so I will rest here for one night and I will set off tomorrow."
Luo Xiaoyu was full of worry and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Prime Minister, do you need my help during this journey? Why don't you let me go there with me?"
Xi Yu waved his hand, looked at Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong gently, and said, "I have received your feelings, but Xiaohong still needs someone to take care of her here, so you can stay and take care of her, I will return safely."
Luo Xiaoyu nodded and turned to look at Xiaohong, secretly making up her mind to protect her.
Xiaohong looked at Xi Yu's back, feeling mixed feelings, both of whom had a desire to restore memory and concern about the safety of Xi Yu's trip.
At this time, Xi Yu took out a certain amount of currency from his sleeve, handed it to the two Taoist priests with both hands, and said sincerely: "Two Taoist priests, these two children must stay in the temple for a while. This is a fee for the temple, and I hope to accept it with a smile."
Seeing this, Master Qingfeng waved his hand quickly, with a look of admiration on his face and said, "The Prime Minister is concerned about the people of the world. Now, for this little girl, he is willing to go to the extremely cold place to take risks. Such a righteousness is moving. In my temple, they are just in charge of food and accommodation, so what's the harm? The Prime Minister should take back the currency quickly, don't be so disgusted."
Seeing that Taoist Qingfeng was determined and no longer suspiciously, Xi Yu put the money back in and thanked the two Taoist priests again, expressing his gratitude beyond words.
Xiaohong watched this scene from the side, and her gratitude for Xi Yu became a little deeper, while Luo Xiaoyu secretly made up her mind to take good care of Xiaohong during the period when Xi Yu left and live up to the Prime Minister's entrustment.
After Qingfeng and Mingyue explained, they ordered the Taoist boy to prepare meals and guest rooms.
The Taoist boys took the order and walked around the Taoist temple quickly. Some went to the kitchen to make fire and add firewood to prepare delicious food.
After a while, smoke from the kitchen was curling, and the fragrance gradually spread; some were busy cleaning the guest rooms, wiping tables and chairs, and laying the beds, striving to make the guests live comfortably and tidy.
Xiaohong, Luo Xiaoyu and Xi Yu were waiting aside, Xiaohong was still feeling a little depressed, and Luo Xiaoyu whispered comforting her, trying to relax her.
Xi Yu looked solemn, as if he was thinking about his trip to the extremely cold place tomorrow and the difficulties he might encounter. He occasionally looked up and looked into the distance, with his eyes revealing firmness and determination, as if no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, it cannot stop his determination to regain his memory for Xiaohong.
Linglong still lives in Wenjia Inn. On the afternoon of that day, the sun shone through the window lattice and she sat opposite Xiao Cui and started chatting.
Before she knew it, the topic became deeper and deeper. Seeing that Xiao Cui was smart, cute and kind-hearted, Linglong revealed her true identity.
When Xiao Cui heard this, she looked surprised and came back to her senses after a while.
Then, Xiao Cui also smiled and told her true feelings. The boss here was Miss Wenxuan, and Miss Wenxuan was actually the prime minister's good friend.
Xiao Cui frowned slightly and continued, "It's just that my lady is still teaching at Youzhou College. She is busy with her daily affairs and rarely comes to the inn."
Linglong nodded slightly, and felt a little curious about the Miss Wenxuan whom she had never met.
She imagined Wenxuan's appearance in the college, and she must have outstanding talent and extraordinary temperament.
Xiao Cui was talking about some interesting stories about the lady on weekdays with enthusiasm. Her words were full of respect and love for Wenxuan, which made Linglong smile, as if she could see the mysterious Miss Wenxuan through Xiao Cui's description.
Linglong sighed lightly, a look of worry appeared on her face, and she said slowly: "I asked Prime Minister this time, but now he is busy working hard for Xiaohong. I don't know if he will be willing to help me when he comes back." A trace of confusion and uneasiness appeared in her eyes, and her fingers unconsciously wrapped around the corner of her clothes.
Xiao Cui blinked her eyes, tilted her head and thought for a while, and replied seriously: "I can't say it, but the Prime Minister is a kind-hearted and helpful person on weekdays. So I think the Prime Minister should help you." Although Xiao Cui's words were a little guess, her eyes were full of trust in the Prime Minister, trying to comfort Linglong.
Linglong smiled bitterly and said softly: "I hope this is the case. I really have no other way. I just hope that the Prime Minister can think of the past relationship and lend a helping hand."
She looked out the window, her eyes full of expectation and anxiety, and she didn't know what would happen to what would be waiting for her in the future.
On this day, Shi Dami carefully counted the wages he had saved from hard work over the past few days, and showed a look of joy on his face. The money was finally enough to buy a horse.
With this excitement, he found his boss and mustered up the courage to come up with the idea of ​​leaving.
The boss knew in his heart that he was from the Anxi Empire, so he did not make too much embarrassment, so he nodded and agreed to his request.
After Shi Dami received the permission, he was full of joy and immediately rushed towards the market in a hurry.
Along the way, the scene of riding a horse freely appeared in his mind, and his steps became more and more rapid.
When he arrived at the market, he shuttled through the many horses, showing anxiety and expectation in his eyes. Finally, he chose a horse that looked quite strong. After paying the money, he couldn't wait to lead the horse away and prepare to embark on a new journey.
On Kunlun Mountain, the morning light is slightly dewed, and a new day comes quietly. The scenery on the mountain is still as poetic as a painting, and it is so beautiful, but everyone has no intention of appreciating it.
Xi Yu got up early, packed his clothes, and prepared to embark on the difficult journey to the extremely cold land.
Xiaohong walked up, her eyes flushed and she said gratefully: "Prime Minister, I really don't know how to repay all you have done for me. You must be more careful when going through this difficult situation."
Xi Yu looked gentle and said, "Don't worry, just wait here with peace of mind."
After saying that, he looked around, waved his hands at everyone, and said firmly: "Don't send it to everyone, I'll set off now and find the herbs as soon as possible."
After saying that, he turned around and strode away, and his figure gradually disappeared on the mountain path.
Luo Xiaoyu stood beside Xiaohong, looking at the direction of Xi Yu leaving, praying silently for the Prime Minister in his heart, hoping that he would be safe and smooth all the way. Xiaohong bit his lip and held back his tears, his eyes full of concern and blessings for Xi Yu.
Shi Dami rode his horse all the way forward, and was immersed in thinking about the way ahead, something suddenly flashed through his mind, and he immediately tied the reins, and the horse stopped with a long neigh.
He frowned and thought to himself, "After that guy Alexander did it, something should happen to Xi Yu? But I haven't figured out this matter thoroughly yet."
He looked entangled and wandered around for a few steps, feeling more and more uneasy in his heart.
"No, I can't just leave like that. I have to stay. I have to ask if something happened to him."
Shi Dami murmured to himself, with a firm look in her eyes. She turned her horse's head and galloped towards the vicinity of Youzhou.
