Chapter 120： The old man (one more)

Chapter 120 Departed (one more)

Gu Yanfei's brows moved, remembering that there was a village near the long house, and suggested: "Jiao Niang, I think the snow will fall for at least a few more hours, there is a village two miles away from my house, let's go there and hide for a while. Snow."

When the girls heard the words, they couldn't help but cheer up, and they all responded.

Although they were all wearing cloaks and hoods to keep out the snow, but now the snow is too heavy, and everyone's face, body, and hands are stained with some snowflakes, and the bangs are also ruffled by the wind, which is slightly visible. Embarrassed.

Everyone immediately changed the road and walked from the road on the left. The horses' hoofs stepped on the soft snow and left a clear horseshoe print.

Suddenly, Gu Yanfei, who was leading the way at the front, stopped his horse without warning, looked at the wild grass beside the road, and raised his hand to make a "stop" gesture.

So, Wei Jiaoniang, Lu Qin and others also pulled their horses and stopped.

A few feet in front of the roadside, there was a rust-colored figure lying on his back, slightly bloated, covered with a layer of snow, and motionless.

"There are people there!"

Lu Qin was the first to point and call out.

The girls were in an uproar, hurried forward, and surrounded the man on the ground.

The accompanying maids dismounted to check, and the two of them worked together to turn the person who was lying on the ground over, and then gently patted the snow on her face, body, and head.

It was an old woman in her fifties, wearing a rust-colored dark-patterned cotton jacket, her pale face was slightly blue from the cold, her face was wrinkled, her eyes were tightly closed.

There was a pool of dazzling blood between the gray hair.

"It's an old man." A maid replied in surprise, her face turned pale, and one palm was stained with the old woman's blood, "I fainted, and I still have a wound on my head."

Gu Yanfeifei dismounted, and carefully examined the wound on the old woman's head. The tentacles were a sticky feeling unique to blood, the back of the old woman's head was slightly swollen, and there was a wound the size of a baby's fist, and blood was gushing out.

The other girls were chatting:

"How could this old lady fall here alone? Could it be that she met a robber on the way?"

"Definitely not. You see that the silver hairpin on her head is still there. If this is a robber, she won't be looted."

"That's true."

“…”

Several people talked lively, Wei Jiaoniang and Lu Qin quietly looked at each other, their eyes were thoughtful.

This old woman's clothes are half-new, clean and without patches. They don't look like poor people, but they are definitely not rich.

Looking at her hairpin with a silver hairpin, a silver ring on her fingers, and a neat handkerchief on one cuff, this style is not like those old ladies from small families, but more like a big family. people's servants.

The two exchanged glances, Lu Qin leaned over, glanced at the old woman's wound, and asserted, "It's very badly injured..."

This is clearly killing her!

It's cold and snowing now, if they let it go, it's conceivable that if this old woman lay here all night, she'd be well taken care of.

"Take her to Zhuangzi first." Gu Yanfei stood up and wiped the blood on his hands with a handkerchief.

"Then let her ride with me." Wei Jiao Niang couldn't wait to recommend herself, patted her chest confidently and said, "My riding skills are good, so it's fine to bring one more person."

Receiving Wei Jiaoniang's eyes, Gu Yanfei smiled, and ordered Juan Bi to lift the man onto the horse.

​​​​​​

Everyone quickly got back on their horses and continued on the road in the face of the cold wind and heavy snow.

On the way, hurry up and hurry up, they finally reached their destination before the sky was completely dark.

"That's it!"

Gu Yanfei pointed to Zhuang Zidao in front of him from a distance, the little face hidden in the hood was full of nostalgia.

In her previous life, she had been to this Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing.

She originally thought that she could bring her eldest brother to live here after the separation of the family, so she personally came over to make some arrangements.

At that time, the elder brother was inconvenient to walk because of his leg injury, so she removed all the thresholds in the village, and added slopes where there were stone steps to facilitate wheelchair access.

She set up a study room and a workshop for her brother and herself. Her brother's hands are so skillful that even a wheelchair can do it.

She also asked people to bring the hot spring water and built a hot spring pool; she dug a pond next to the field behind Zhuangzi, and planned to plant lotus, not only to enjoy lotus, but also to eat lotus seeds and dig lotus roots...

This village is very large and open, with fields, rivers, and mountains, enough to be self-sufficient.

After two hundred years, when she was in this familiar and unfamiliar environment, her memory came up quickly.

She planned very well, but the result...

Heaven does not fulfill people's wishes.

The girls strangled their horses in front of Zhuangzi, and the horses neighed with white air.

Juanbi was the first to dismount and called the door.

When the steward in Zhuangzi heard that the visitor was his own girl, he was overjoyed and hurriedly brought someone to greet him. The door of the Zhuangzi was wide open.

This area is remote, and there are hardly any people here on weekdays. Today, there are so many charming guests all at once, which shocked the whole Zhuangzi.

Gu Yanfei instructed Zhuangzi's steward to send someone to report the news to various prefectures in the capital, so as not to worry about Wei Jiaoniang and their families.

Immediately, she had the old woman moved to the east wing.

Lu Qin and other girls were greeted by the people in the village and went to the hall to sit down, and the accompanying maids also went to help boil water and serve.

Only Wei Jiao Niang went with Gu Yanfei to the inner room of the east wing. The unconscious old woman was moved to a couch by several servants.

When he found this old woman on the road just now, Gu Yanfei only roughly checked the injury. Now that he had a place to settle down, he carefully took the pulse of the other party, and then asked Juan Bi to check the other party's limbs and torso.

No other parts of the old woman's body were injured, only the back of the head was hit by a hard object, which was a fatal wound.

At this moment, the wound on the scalp is no longer bleeding, and there is even a little sign of healing.

"Not bad." Gu Yanfei curled the corners of his lips and looked at Wei Jiaoniang.

Wei Jiao Niang raised her chin proudly and winked at Gu Yanfei for a while.

After Gu Yanfei taught her the healing talisman, Wei Jiao Niang wanted to find a chance to try it out, but she couldn't scratch herself and treat it again... This is too stupid.

When she was on the road with the old woman, she kept drawing the sickness symbol, over and over again, again and again.

Even if it can only succeed once out of ten, the effect is quite good, and the bleeding has stopped.

Gu Yanfei looked at her and smiled, and the two exchanged a tacit secret.

She is amazing! Wei Jiao Niang was so happy that her tail was about to rise.

As long as the bleeding stops, this wound is not a big problem. Gu Yanfei instructed: "Ju Bi, go get someone to get some cold water to clean up the wound, and then bring some clean white cloth over."

Kuanbi went, and after a while, she came with a handsome daughter-in-law in her thirties, one with coarse cloth and scissors, and the other with a water basin.

The daughter-in-law approached the bed with the water basin. After seeing the person on the bed, she was suddenly stunned and blurted out, "It's Madam Pang!"

"Do you recognize her?" Gu Yanfei raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I know." The daughter-in-law put the water basin on the bedside table, her eyes drifted to Mammy Pang, and after a while she came back to her senses, nodded and said, "Miss, Mammy Pang is the first lady's mama. ."

This Zhuangzi is the dowry of the Xie family. The people inside are all the companions brought by the Xie family. Naturally, they all recognize the Xie family's nanny.

The daughter-in-law hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Mother Pang made a mistake a few years ago and was kicked out of the Hou residence, saying...she was slow to treat the three girls."

Thinking of Gu Yuncong's identity, her expression was a little embarrassed.

"..." Gu Yanfei blinked, stunned for a moment.

Mother's nanny?

Having said that, she has a vague impression.

In a previous life, probably around the Spring Festival, a person who claimed to be a mother-in-law came to the Hou Mansion to greet her, but by the time she knew it, it was too late, and she had already been sent away.

That's right, the servants called her Pang Mammy at that time.

Only later, she never heard from Pang Mammy again.

Counting the days, in the last life, it seems that Pang Ma's coming to the Hou Mansion is also a matter of these few days.

Gu Yanfei's jet-black eyes were so deep that he couldn't see the bottom. He fixedly stared at the drowsy Pang mama. The feeling in his heart was a bit complicated, and he couldn't tell whether it was disappointment or sigh.

After sitting quietly for two breaths, she asked the daughter-in-law to cook some **** soup for Lu Qin and the others.

The daughter-in-law responded again and again, bowed somewhat restrainedly, and then hurriedly retreated.

Juan Bi used cold boiled water to clean up the wound around the wound as instructed by taking care of Yan Fei.

"Cuan Bi, you need to find someone to take care of her first, she..." Gu Yanfei glanced at the leak, "She will probably wake up in a moment."

After saying this, she affectionately took Wei Jiaoniang's arm and went to the hall in the front yard.

At this time, Gu Yanfei's mood had returned to normal, with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.

The heavy snow fluttered outside, and all you could see was a piece of white flowers, and the snow was getting thicker.

Lu Qin and the other girls have already drank the **** soup, their expressions are comfortable, and they are smiling.

With shelter from the wind and snow, they are all at ease, drinking tea, eating snacks, and the worst situation is to spend a night in this village.

Seeing that Gu Yanfei and Wei Jiaoniang came hand in hand, the girls put down their cups and asked a few questions with concern:

"How is the old lady's injury?"

"Can you hire a doctor?"

Wei Jiao Niang tugged at Gu Yanfei's sleeve, and replied lightly, avoiding the danger, "She's all right, this time, it's better to save a life than to build a seven-level pagoda."

The next sentence changed the subject: "I'm hungry, what's there to eat?"

The girls were relieved when they heard that the injured person was fine. Lu Qin took the lead and said, "This plum cake is not bad, it's soft and delicious!"

"And the pine nuts are also very sweet."

“…”

The girls were talking and laughing, the hall was very lively, and even the whistling wind and snow outside the hall was suppressed.

The snow is finally showing signs of turning down.

The carriages from the various houses arrived at Zhuangzi one after another, but no one came from the Dingyuan Marquis's house.
