Chapter 254 Stone Village
In the early morning of the next day, I felt the coldness that was different from that of Jiangnan again. Zhan Feiyu rubbed his cold hands and quickly got on the carriage. The thick curtains of the carriage blocked the cold air coming to his face.
"Miss, please take the hand stove." He Nuan handed over the red copper peony flower branch hand stove, "There is a copper signature below. If it is not warm, you can fiddle with the charcoal fire."
Zhan Feiyu held the warm hand stove and couldn't help but sigh: "A Nuan, I have half of your contributions in my little Sanyuan!"
He Nuan was amused, "I'll check out the other things."
This time I went to Shitou Village. Xiangwu County was poor, and the village probably had no food. He Nuan bought ingredients early in the morning and could make a meal when he arrived at the village to borrow a kitchen.
When Yin Wuyan got on the carriage, he saw Zhan Feiyu wrapped in a ball, holding the hand stove, his white and tender face hidden in the white fur collar of the cloak. It was obvious that he was afraid of the cold.
"Big brother, aren't you cold?" Zhan Feiyu looked at Yin Wuyan, who was only wearing a silver-edged black brocade robe. Even in Jiangnan, she looked thin when wearing this outfit at this time, let alone the temperature difference between morning and evening in Wuxian County.
No matter how cold it is, it will freeze.
The little claws reached over and landed on the back of Yin Wuyan's hand. A warm feeling came. Zhan Feiyu suddenly widened his eyes. After surprise, he was full of envy. The eldest brother's hand was as warm as a hand stove.
"A martial arts practitioner is not afraid of the cold." Yin Wuyan grabbed Zhan Feiyu's chubby and soft little claws, and couldn't help but worry about her future imperial examination.
It would be fine if the provincial examination was in August, but the imperial examination was in February. In the weather with ice, the little girl was afraid that she would not be able to stand it.
With a broken face, Zhan Feiyu couldn't help but sigh: "I am half a martial arts practitioner, why am I so afraid of the cold?"
A smile flashed quickly in Yin Wuyan's phoenix eyes. The little girl only knows how to punch and kick skills, but she doesn't even have any internal strength. She is just a little better than those women in the boudoir who can't go out of the door and can't go out of the second door.
The sound of horse hooves sounded and headed to the west. Xiangwu County was in the west of Weizhou, while Shitou Village was in the west, adjacent to the ancient Qiang people.
...
It is precisely because the winter is cold that villagers have gone to the mountains these days to cut wood to store firewood for the winter.
Zhan Feiyu felt cold outside, but it was only late October, which was nothing to the villagers of Shitou Village. It was really cold in December. The ice in the river needed to be smashed with an axe to get water.
"Madam, I have already asked the village official. Young Master Xu and his friends live at the foot of the mountain at the end of the village. The road is too narrow and the carriage cannot be reached." Lian'er, who was standing outside the carriage, kept rubbing her hands. This place is colder than the city.
The key is that the wind blows on the face as if it wants to shave away a layer of flesh.
Zhang Yiyi, who was also holding a hand stove in the carriage, looked even more ugly, but thinking about the purpose of this trip, she had to come this time.
After a while, after getting off the carriage, Zhang Yiyi was wearing a luxurious fox fur cloak and a hood, but even so, the chill still penetrated into her bones.
"Madam, worry about your feet." Lian'er hurriedly supported Zhang Yiyi's arm.
In addition to the coachman staying in place to guard the carriage, four guards, an old lady and another maid also followed behind the two, and eight of them walked towards the foot of the mountain step by step.
On the hillside, under the cover of rocks and weeds, the child wearing a gray cotton-padded jacket looked at the group of people coming from afar. On his rough and cracked face, his black eyes were filled with joy, but he also brought some
Disturbance.
"Who?" Guard Jia shouted angrily, his figure flashed, and he pulled out the little boy hiding in the grass.
"Let me go!" It was probably because he had been frozen for a long time, his voice was hoarse, and the little boy struggled desperately, but unfortunately his collar was firmly grabbed by the guards, and it would be useless to move any longer.
Confirm that there was no danger, Guard A threw the little boy out in disgust. While he fell to the ground, he stepped on his back to make sure that he could not move.
"Where are the beggars coming from?" Lian'er frowned and looked at the child who was swaying in dust. She hurriedly helped Zhang Yiyi back two steps, "Madam, go from here, don't dirty your clothes."
The child had to raise his head, with grass on his head and dust on his face. His eyes were like little wolf, staring straight at Zhang Yiyi not far away.
Zhang Yiyi was already suppressing her irritability. She had been living a pampered life for eight years. She had just left for a quarter of an hour and was tired and cold. She looked at the dirty wild child in front of her, especially his black eyes, which were dark.
It was cold and cold, Zhang Yiyi was frightened and accidentally stepped on a lump and sprained her ankle.
"Madam!" Not only Dan Lian'er exclaimed, the guards beside him were also worried.
Although this lady has no status, she is equivalent to being the hostess in the back house of the Marquis’ Mansion and is deeply favored by the Marquis. If she is injured in this remote area, these guards will inevitably be punished.
"Little bastard!" Guard A angrily scolded, and after stomping his feet, he kicked the person out with force, but the direction was the half-human-high stone block not far away.
Fortunately, the child seemed to know some kung fu. The moment his body flew out, he quickly adjusted his movements, turned the direction and fell into the grass. If he hit the stone, he would definitely be bleeding.
"Huh?" Guard Jia's face darkened and he looked at the child who was hiding with dissatisfaction.
After coughing twice in pain, the child endured the pain and quickly got up from the yellow grass. He stared at the guard armor with anger, and his rough hands clenched into fists.
"Don't worry, I just twisted it." Zhang Yiyi moved her ankle and it didn't hurt. I think it was nothing.
Hearing the soft voice of Wu Nong's voice, the child looked at Zhang Yiyi, who was dressed in luxurious clothes again. In the sun, her face seemed to be shining. Her delicate face, slender figure, and every frown and smile were revealed to be inconsistent with the village.
The noble elegance of a woman.
The child clenched his hands tighter, and his faint eyes were still pressing against Zhang Yiyi, but he no longer had the surprise and excitement he had when he peeked at him.
It was probably because the child's gaze was too strong. Zhang Yiyi looked up and frowned in disgust. It was too dirty. The cotton jacket seemed to be unable to wash it clean. She felt that she was obscene at first glance.
Although the child stood straight, his face was covered with dust and grass. With the little wolf-like eyes, Zhang Yiyi was even more disliked. A dirty child in the countryside dared to look at him with such eyes.
"Okay, don't waste time." Zhang Yiyi spoke softly. At first glance, she seemed to be tolerant and generous, not calculating with a child. But Lian'er, who was supporting her, knew that Zhang Yiyi didn't want to blow the cold wind here.
Guard A warned and looked at the child not far away, but did not take action again, but there was a strong malice in his eyes.
His previous throw and kick had caused internal injuries. If he didn't look at the doctor and delayed for a few days, even if he didn't want the child's life, he would be weak and sick in the future.
When Zhang Yiyi and her group walked away a little, the child's tense body suddenly hunched over, covered her stomach and coughed violently, and there was blood on the corners of her mouth.
After a while, he fell to the ground. The child looked up at the few people who were walking farther and farther away. The last slightest bit of contempt and joy in his eyes completely disappeared.
...
Half an hour later, although Zhan Feiyu was afraid of the cold, he felt warm after walking for a while.
"Big brother, that child is not stupid, right?" Looking at the child sitting on the stone from afar, the wind was blowing hard and the weeds were dancing, but the child was sitting in the limelight.
Hearing the sound, the child suddenly stood up and stared at Zhan Feiyu and others in a cautious manner. Looking at Zhan Feiyu, who was also wrapped in a fox fur cloak, the child's eyes suddenly burst into strong hostility.
"Yeah, you can still stare at people, you're not stupid." Chongguang laughed and walked over in three or two steps. Seeing the dry blood on the corners of the child's mouth, looking at the scratches and bruises on his face, he couldn't help but brows.
Wrinkle, "Is this stupid?"
He glared at Chongguang fiercely, and the child stepped back, his hands clenched into fists, and he looked obviously that he had practiced martial arts.
"I'm not smart at first, so I'll look even more stupid now. Fat girl, you're still smart." Chongguang quipped at Zhan Feiyu who was like a ball.
I remember when I was in Jinlin Village, the fat girl met Qi Ye. She was so conscious of the current affairs. She didn't even talk about her sweet mouth, but she would run back with her short legs whispering.
In comparison, the child in front of him has backbone, but unfortunately, he is hard and easy to break!
"Uncle Chongguang, you are getting more and more nagging. If you are not cold, I am cold." Zhan Feiyu looked at the nagging Chongguang with disgust. He was cowardly back then, but that was not human nature.
The urging Chongguang took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured a pill in his palm, looked at the child who was obviously about to run away, and quickly grabbed his arm, pinched his right hand on his chin, and threw the pill directly.
It's in your mouth.
Looking at the child who was spitting twice, Chongguang tsked twice, "The secret medicine he passed down from ancestors melts when he enters his mouth, and the old man is not deceived."
Zhan Feiyu rolled his eyes and took the lead to continue walking forward, "Big brother, let's go."
"Slow down." There was perceived concern in his cold voice. Yin Wuyan took a step and followed Zhan Feiyu, but his slender figure blocked the cold wind.
Shitou Village is large and the villagers' houses are built together. Only General Yang's family can walk along this road.
A faint smell of medicine spread in his mouth. After a while, the child felt a hot feeling in his abdomen. He looked at Zhan Feiyu and the others in front of him, but quickly turned towards the path beside him.
Unlike Zhang Yiyi's dislike of this stone yellow mud house, Zhan Feiyu is not surprised.
In the past, in Jinlin Village, except for a few people who built blue brick houses, most of them built houses with stones from the mountains, and loess and grass chips.
"Fat girl, the road is narrow." Chongguang winked at Zhan Feiyu. The guards and maids of the Marquis' Mansion in the border area were standing in the yard, and the door of the main house was closed. You don't have to look at who it was.
in.
He Nuan glanced at Chongguang. He was so uncontrollable all day long, wouldn’t he be afraid that Master Qi would beat him up?
Since the people from the Hou Mansion came first, Zhan Feiyu stood in a corner where he sheltered the wind, and dialed the silver charcoal inside from the copper tag under the hand stove, and the temperature of the hand stove rose instantly.
Yin Wuyan glanced at He Nuan, and saw that he took out her jade bracelet, and spoke to Chongguang: "Return the things to the original owner."
"Yes." Chongguang picked up the bracelet and walked towards the gate of the yard without saying a word. He still looked like a playboy like a rich young man, but his eyes were filled with a little ridiculousness.
Last night, Master Qi asked someone to check it out. Although the news has not been sent back, Chongguang used his toes to know that Zhang Yiyi said that the media protection was just to marry the fat girl to her who was sent away on the day she was born.
My son is one year younger than the fat girl. Because he is the son of a criminal, he naturally has no good marriage. At first glance, Zhang Yiyi's move seems to be considering planning for her son, but it is also for the fat girl's money.
Zhang Yiyi has some power in the Marquis’ Mansion in the border town, but this is because the old Marquis is the one who decides. When the prince inherits the Marquis’ Mansion in the future, Zhang Yiyi will be the only one piece of clothing, and she will be the only one tree in the Marquis’ Mansion.
It is different if you can't take it away, but it's different if you have a "businessman" daughter-in-law. At least you can have food and clothing in the future and don't lack money to do anything. And if you follow the old marquis, most people don't dare to make things difficult for you if you don't look at monks and Buddha's faces.
For her.
"Idle people avoid it!" Guard Ar raised his hand to block the heavy light, his eyes showing a little alert.
On that day, in the ruined temple, the one who was injured by Yin Wuyan with a branch was the guard of the Marquis' Mansion, who was also the one who secretly protected the old Marquis.
Guards and others are just ordinary guards. They don’t know that the other party is injured, so they know that Chongguang is a trainer, but they don’t know how strong they are.
Stopped, Chongguang wrapped his hands around his chest and said with a smile: "Okay, please follow the guests. Your master is the wife of Major General Yang, and he is also the owner of this house."
"You dare to slander my wife in nonsense!" The expression of the guard A suddenly changed. They had heard some rumors, but no one dared to say it openly. It would be fine if he offended the wife, but if he offended the Marquis, he would definitely deal with the military law.
.
"I was wrong?" Chongguang asked in surprise, looking at the angry guards and the maid, the girl laughed again, "Since it's not the master, why should you stop me from entering?"
The guard was so angry that he couldn't find any rebuttal. Looking at the arrogant Chongguang, he drew his sword in anger.
Unfortunately, he moved quickly, Chongguang's movements were faster. He slapped his right hand on the arm of the guard armor. The sword that had just pulled out was about a century and fell back. Chongguang grabbed his arm and twisted it backwards, and then pointed it at his butt.
Kicked.
After a smooth movement, the guard armor was kicked out and slammed in front of the main hall.
Not to mention that Old General Yang and Yang Shoucheng were both military generals, even Zhang Yiyi heard the voices outside, and she was even more angry and clenched her hands, but she didn't show any signs on her face.
But when an outsider comes, the conversation will definitely not be able to continue. Zhang Yiyi suppressed her anger and choked up and said, "I know you don't believe me, but I am worthy of my heart. I just want to meet Xu'er. In the past eight years, whenever I think of it
Xu'er, my heart is like a knife..."
The beauty sheds tears the most, and even the Marquis of the border can't help but feel soft-hearted.
But the middle-aged man standing aside looked tummy, without any pity or anger, calm as if Zhang Yiyi was a human-shaped wooden stake.
