Let's follow the king, little master

Although it is unavoidable to be windy in the morning in Mobei, the sun shines brighter and softer as the weather gets warmer.The crisp calls of the birds on the branches matched this morning even more.

The three of them and one wolf had just stepped out of the door of the small building, but they were stopped before the horse arrived.An old man with white hair in a coarse blue coat wandered back and forth at the door, and when he saw Li Mu coming out, he hurried forward with a smile on his face.

"Little Master." The old man stepped forward and bowed to Li Mu.

"Benefactor." Li Mu returned the gift, thinking about who this person was.

"The little master may not remember the old farmer. A few days ago, the young master and a son gave the old farmer a bank note to help the old farmer carve jade." The old man said with a smile.

"It turned out to be the benefactor." Li Mu recalled and smiled back.

"Yesterday was originally a ten-day period, but the old farmer has not waited for two people. Fortunately, he saw the young master in the parade at night. After inquiring, he found out that the young master was here at night, so he waited for the young master here."

The old man took out a piece of white silk and satin cloth from his sleeve, and then opened it carefully, only to see a jade stone with the word "Che" in front of him. The upper corner of the jade stone was threaded with a red thread for some reason, so it could be worn on the body.When I saw it that day, although the jade was soft to the touch, it looked really rough, but now the carving seems to have been changed, and it still shines under the sunlight, very dazzling, so it doesn't have the original appearance.

Li Mu took the one with the word 'Che' in his hand, and observed it carefully. He was late in learning characters, but the first character he learned was Yu Che's name, so seeing him now, he is very kind.Li Mu lifted up the jade and exposed it to the sun. The jade seemed to absorb the beam of light into the body and shone brightly. Li Mu immediately laughed.

"As long as the little master likes it." The old man said with satisfaction.

"The donor's carving is good, but the poor monk can't give it to him because the man is not around, so he must go to the donor to get it." Li Mu said that he wanted to put the jade down, but he didn't want the old man to put it away. Withdrawing his hand, the old man said with a smile:

"Young master's piece has been taken away a long time ago, and now the little master is left. The young master gave a lot of money, and the old farmer took out the best jade in the house to carve it when he returned home, and carved it hard. Come down."

Li Mu paused, thinking about when Yu Che went to get it, but he didn't want the jade in his hand to be taken by Ling Hailanmo beside him, so he also lifted the jade and looked at it, then laughed and said:

"Well, you are a craftsman, you actually deceive people, this jade is mixed with variegated colors, but you say it is a high-quality jade." Ling Hailanmo said that he wanted to leave the jade on the ground.

"Wait a minute," the old man shouted.

"What? Are you scared?" Ling Hailanmo withdrew his hand and looked at the old man.

"This young lady doesn't know, this jade is indeed high-quality, but there is a little more blood color in the jade." The old man replied.

"How can there be blood, it's just nonsense." Ling Hailanmo asked with a frown.

"After the jade stone with the word 'Mu' was engraved that day, the young master came and took away the jade stone with the word 'Mu', and dripped a few drops of blood on the jade stone." The old man said.

As soon as the old man's words came out, Ling Hailanmo's hand tightly grasped the piece of jade, his heart tightened, and he let go of the jade, Li Mu didn't even think about it, and leaned over to catch the jade, his whole body was in a hurry When he lay down on the ground, he tapped the ground with his left hand and stood up. The movement was so smooth that even Li Mu himself was a little shocked.

"It's worth it for the little master to cherish this jade so much. The little master may not know it if he is not a local. If one person drips blood on the jade and it can fuse, it symbolizes all wishes. If you give the jade with your own blood on it to others It means to give your heart to the other party." The old man said with a smile, "What the old farmer should do is to go, don't disturb the little master, and leave."

The old man walked away, leaving Li Mu staring blankly at the jade in his hand, and Ling Hailanmo who was clenched fist beside him.Li Mu put the jade away and put it in his sleeve instead of putting it on, which made the people around him smile a little more, and then the two rushed to Cuiming without saying anything else.

Cuiming was originally a place with fertile soil and water. Although the house was built along Ran Lake, all the water used was from Ze River, because the water in Ran Lake is salty and useless. emotion.

Although Ling Hailanmo is the Princess of Mobei, she may know a little about Cuiming, but not much. She just occasionally heard her brother, the Prince of Mobei, mention the Hu tribe's invasion once or twice.It's just that although Ling Hailanmo has practiced martial arts since childhood and has never been restless, he is not familiar with war. After all, he is still a princess of a country.

When the three of them drove towards Cuiming at high speed, Ling Hailanmo felt a sense of desolation as they got farther and farther away from Mobei City, which he was familiar with.The stretches of green grass should be the place where there are many cattle and sheep, but only one or two can be seen occasionally.The three of them galloped forward, whipped their whips, and the shepherd seemed to be frightened, leaving his cattle and sheep behind and stumbled away. This scene came into view, and immediately the three of them were startled.

The two big characters "Cuiming" appeared in front of his eyes, and the person on the horse waved his whip again, and it was considered that he had reached Cuiming.Driving along the Zehe River directly to Ran Lake, the house located on the edge of Ran Lake has gradually taken shape, but Li Mu, who was walking in front, realized that something was wrong before he approached, so he used his legs to speed up again .

The farther you get into the village, the more you can hear crying all over the sky, most of them are old people and children. Sure enough, as a few people entered the village, only six or seven people wearing Hu nationality clothes were holding the parcels in their hands. Put it on the horse and get on the horse.Before Li Mu could react, he saw Ling Hailanmo and her maid passing by on horseback.

Li Mu was going to chase after him, but he saw a woman coming out crying for help, calling for help everywhere, Li Mu quickly dismounted to ask, but the old man cried and cried, regardless of who he was catching. Then he pulled Li Mu closer to the room.

"Save my granddaughter, please save my granddaughter." The old man cried and pulled Li Mu into the room with all his strength.

The two quickly entered the room, and saw a child dressed as a boy lying on the ground with blood on his head unconscious.Li Mu didn't pick her up, he took the pulse first, then checked the limbs to see that there was nothing wrong, then picked up the child and put her on the kang, then tore off the cloth to stop the child's bleeding.

"Don't worry, old man, the child is fine." Li Mu said to the sobbing old man beside him, then poured some water from the dilapidated coffee table, took out a medicine from the small bottle in his sleeve and fed it to the child, "The child is just unconscious Yes, I will wake up later."

"Thank you, doctor." The old man wiped his tears and held his granddaughter's hand and said, for an old man who has never met or even passed the monk, it is probably a doctor who knows how to see a doctor, so he called Li Mu that way.

Li Mu looked around the room, and saw nothing except a dilapidated coffee table, two chairs and a few bowls and chopsticks.Li Mu helped up the chair that had fallen on the ground. Some grains of rice were scattered on the ground. From the inside of the house to the outside of the door, there was still a little crying outside.

"Excuse me, old man. Is this what the Hu people say?" Li Mu asked.

"That's right." The old man wiped his tears and said, "Our place was originally very rich and everyone was diligent, but since the king suddenly ordered the withdrawal of the defenders, the Hu people often come and go, steal, kill, loot and do everything. The strong men and women have all gone out to work, and in order to support their families, we, the elderly and children, were left behind, and some of our food was robbed, not to mention beaten and scolded."

The old man was talking, when the child lying on the kang opened his eyes, and seeing his relatives holding the old man's hand, he uttered a childish female voice "Grandma" and was about to stand up.

"Little benefactor, don't move." Li Mu stepped forward.

When the child saw the stranger, he was frightened but still stared at him to protect the old man. The old man comforted him and said:

"Tong'er is good, this doctor is a good person. Let the doctor diagnose and treat you."

Li Mu sat on the kang, carefully took the girl's pulse, made sure that it was all right, then nodded with a smile and said:

"It's all right now, the injury on the head will heal in a few days."

"Thank you, doctor." The old man smiled at his granddaughter despite tears, "I want to take the doctor to see other people in the village. Now that the Hu people are here, some people will definitely be injured. I don't know if I can ask the doctor for treatment. .”

"It's natural, old man, please lead the way." Li Mu said with a smile.

So the old man took Li Mu to the village that was still full of crying, and every household did not let go. After all, as the villagers left their hometowns, even doctors were rarely seen.
