On the second day of November, Tuocheng was hit by a blanket of ice and snow. A small village three hundred miles away from Tuocheng was in chaos and bustling for the past two days.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and in the vast wilderness it was almost impossible to tell where the road was and where the river and glacier were.
In a simple farmyard, Wei Yang was talking to You Lan. "Why hasn't Xiao Qing come back yet? She should be back by now." She had just asked Kong Gu this question a few minutes ago, and now she couldn't help asking it again when she saw You Lan.
Youlan twisted out the handkerchief to wipe Weiyang's hands and said, "It's been a few days, it will be here in about two days."
A brazier was lit in the room, and a stove was lit in the corner, on which the medicine Weiyang was going to take today was warmed. She was afraid of the bitterness, so she would always find various excuses every time she took the medicine, and she even wanted to throw it away without telling the two maids.
Even the patient Konggu was worn out by Weiyang. He made an excuse to go out and see if Xiaoqing had arrived and pushed Youlan in.
Wei Yang was injured and then had a high fever. When Ding Wu found them, Wei Yang had already passed out from the fever.
This remote mountain village was found by Xiongda on short notice.
The village was poor, without even a neat courtyard, let alone a doctor. Ding Wu rode a horse for dozens of miles in the snow and paid a large sum of money to capture a doctor who was said to be very skilled.
In everyone's opinion, the method was not really clever. If it was really clever, the injured girl would not have been in a coma for two days and only woke up this morning.
A melodious bird song sounded overhead, and then a huge bird swooped down from a distance, flapping its wings and standing on the treetop in front of the courtyard.
The remaining snow was so frightened that it flew everywhere, blinding people's eyes.
Saker Falcon!
As soon as the gate opened, Ding Wu rushed out in a hurry. With a whistle, the agile Saker Falcon flew down from the treetop. He glanced at He Lao Da and Qi Wu standing under the eaves, and walked to Ding Wu.
In front of Boss He and others, Ding Wu did not shy away. He bent down and took a green bamboo tube from the majestic claws of the Saker Falcon, then turned around and ran into the house.
Soon, there was a crisp knock on the door.
Ding Wu stood at the door and respectfully handed the bamboo tube to Kong Gu, who passed it to Wei Yang who was lying on the hospital bed.
Maybe she had just gotten better, her small face, which was only the size of a palm, looked even more charming. I wonder if the general would beat her to death if he saw such a girl.
Konggu pulled out the letter from the bamboo tube, unfolded it and handed it to Weiyang. He caught a glimpse of "pick you up" and hurriedly looked away.
Wei Yang looked at the note in her hand, the smile on her face growing deeper and deeper. Yan Guilai came to pick her up, and she was finally not afraid anymore.
As if to be sure, she took the note in and read it again.
Weiyang:
The enemy has been cleared. We will ride as fast as we can to take you home.
The swallows return.
Looking at Wei Yang with a smile on her face, Ding Wu quickly retracted his gaze, bowed and asked, "Miss, Boss He is waiting outside, do you want to meet him or not?"
After taking back the note, Wei Yang watched Kong Gu put the note into her jewelry box before she said softly, "Please come in, Brother He."
The low thatched house, with rammed earth walls that had been smoked black and gray, had its worn-out window frames repaired and papered over, and in the middle of the room stood a brazier with fruit wood charcoal burning inside.
The pretty little girl, with her hair loose, was leaning against a bright red quilt, which only made her red lips and white teeth stand out more clearly, and her skin seemed to be glowing.
"Brother He, is there something wrong?"
Seeing Wei Yang's smile reaching into her eyes, He Lao Da thought to himself that it seemed that the letter sent by the arrogant bird just now made her very happy.
