beg for chivalry

The ice layer made a terrible cracking sound, and a deep black hole appeared in front of Wang Xiaoyuan.

Startled, Wang Xiaoyuan hurriedly looked over his head, only to see that the branches were empty and the snow was falling.Looking at the pool again, one can only see cracks in the ice layer like fine spider webs, and in the cracked ice caves, dark water ripples appear in circles.

"Master!"

With a cry of alarm, he hurried to the edge of the ice pool, trying to look under the water, but he couldn't see the slightest shadow of the Golden Crow.The Golden Crow must have accidentally fallen from a branch and fell into it.Wang Xiaoyuan hesitantly stepped on the ice with one foot, but saw the ice marks spread like white branches in a short while.The ice had formed late and was still too thin. If he stepped forward rashly, the ice under his feet might be in danger of breaking.

But he had no choice but to delay for a moment, in that icy cold pool, the Golden Crow would freeze to death soon.Wang Xiaoyuan recalled the scene when he kicked the young master into the pool earlier, Jinwu is not good at watering, how can he get up with his own strength?

In desperation, Wang Xiaoyuan yelled at the top of his voice, "Come on, help me! Young Master Jin has fallen into the pond!"

The shout echoed in the empty courtyard, rippling like water ripples, but no echo could be heard.Wang Xiaoyuan shouted hoarsely, his throat was burning and hurting, but he suddenly remembered that today is the silkworm market, the Hu merchants from the west will bring some rare herbs, which will be of great benefit to a chronically ill person like Hui Lanwuye , so Apan and other servants rushed out.

As for Aunt Yue and the rest of the fireworkers, they were busy making soup and medicine in the back kitchen. This is a secluded place in the mansion, very far away from the main room, and there are few servants on weekdays.No one in the huge courtyard could hear his shouts.

After shouting for a while, Wang Xiaoyuan's voice became hoarse.He was desperate, staring at the deep black ice cave, his teeth chattering violently.No one would come to help him, and when someone came here, the young master would have frozen to death long ago.He gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, and stretched out his hand to take off the jackets one by one, and threw them at his feet.

He kept saying in his heart: not cold, not cold at all.He won't die, even if he enters this ice pond, he won't die either.

Those few words seem to have been repeated a hundred and eighty times in my heart.After being stripped to the point where there was only one obscene garment left on his body, Wang Xiaoyuan took a deep breath, and the icy cold wind poured into his heart and lungs, making his chest ache.Jinwu still has several months of wages to be paid to him, even if it is for money, he has to save Jinwu.

"Young master, wait a little longer, I will... come to save you..." Wang Xiaoyuan trembling lips, plunged into the water cruelly.

A terrifying cold feeling enveloped the body in an instant, as if thousands of tiny ice needles suddenly pierced into the limbs and bones.The moment I entered the water, there was a sharp pain on the skin, and the flesh and bones seemed to be frozen, and it was as if a blunt knife was scraping and gouging out the flesh and blood on the hands and feet.

Wang Xiaoyuan only felt that he was swimming slowly among the iron brushes, and every minute of his movement, it seemed that iron sticks were firmly nailed into his hands and feet.The bottom of the pool is very dark, like a huge longhorn, with occasional glimmers of skylight sparingly shining down on the top of the head.There seems to be a thick black mist around, tarnishing and covering the eyes.

He opened his eyes under the water, and his eyes were cold and astringent.In a haze, he saw the golden crow falling in the water. It was a lonely figure with its torso slightly curled up. It struggled feebly a few times, but a string of crystal clear blisters emerged from its mouth and nose.Wang Xiaoyuan swam over with great effort and grabbed Jinwu's back.

The cold numbness gradually climbed up the limbs, but the exhaustion and weakness burned the muscles like flames.Wang Xiaoyuan felt that he was almost out of breath, and swam behind Jinwu with the last bit of strength, holding his hands to swim upstream.Jinwu couldn't stop struggling, but his strength was very weak.

The lungs seemed to be tightly squeezed by one hand, and the feeling of suffocation was like an overwhelming tide.Wang Xiaoyuan poked his head out of the water with great difficulty, and his chest was in pain as if it had exploded.He panted heavily, letting the cold wind blow into his mouth.Snowflakes fell on his wet head, and he felt nothing but cold.

"Hu... huh!"

Wang Xiaoyuan raised his head to look, but suddenly opened his eyes wide in despair.With great difficulty, he dragged the Golden Crow to the surface of the water, took a slight breath, but saw that the ice layer had already cracked, floating far away from the shore.He stretched out his hand to reach the floating shards of ice, but his sore arm was supporting the Golden Crow, so he couldn't stretch it too far.

"Master...Master, Master—!" He panted violently and called intermittently.

With repeated shouts, Jin Wu finally shook his eyelashes and slowly opened them.He coughed a few times and spit out a few big saliva.

"I'm about to die." Wang Xiaoyuan was out of breath, "you go...hu...to the shore, okay?"

To be honest, he has already lost all consciousness at this time, and a severe soreness is coming from his hands and feet. Just supporting the Golden Crow to emerge from the water, he seems to have exhausted his strength for three lifetimes, almost gnashing his molars. into three petals.

"No...cough..." Jin Wu lowered his head, his wet hair fell on his forehead, covering his eyes.At this moment, he was still coughing up water while venting his anger, "Who asked you...to save me..."

Wang Xiaoyuan didn't have the strength to quarrel with him, and squeezed words out from between his teeth: "I really...can't hold on anymore." His vision became hazy, as if covered with a layer of white mist.His head hurts, as if it was smashed, and no matter how much he breathes, he can't relieve the suffocation in his body.

He couldn't drag the Golden Crow to swim to the shore anymore, he couldn't do anything, he could only silently support the Golden Crow's body with his body, let the young master try his best to be lifted from the extremely cold pool water.

He lifted Jinwu out of the water, and shivered involuntarily, but when he turned his head to look, he saw Wang Xiaoyuan's face was blue from the cold, his lips were white, his whole body was almost submerged in the ice water, and he couldn't help trembling:

"What are you... doing, Wang Xiaoyuan?"

Wang Xiaoyuan didn't answer, he was just trying his best to hold up the Golden Crow Pond in the exhaustion that seemed to melt his bones and blood.How long can he last, the next moment, or after half a stick of incense?Will anyone come to find them?Even though many questions arose in his heart, his mind was muddled, and Fu Shui's hands and feet gradually became weak.

Dimly, he seemed to hear the voice of the Golden Crow, at first it was loudly telling him to let go, but at some point it turned into a sad cry.

Ice water flooded over his head, Wang Xiaoyuan was exhausted, and fell into the darkness.

He passed out.

-

After a long time, he only felt that he was ups and downs in the dark sea, and the severe cold waves roared and rolled down, pouring down from the top of his head.The breath of snow seems to be exhaled from the nose, but there is nothing in the consciousness except the coldness.

In the long and seemingly endless coma, Wang Xiaoyuan seemed to be trekking in the snow field.The rustling snow swallowed and buried him, and he fell into the pitch-black pool, entangled with the algae, and turned into sludge in the pool.

Sometimes he felt extremely cold, and sometimes he felt extremely hot.In the daze, he seemed to see his little self a few years ago, running barefoot behind Mrs. Wang, withstood the scorching summer and the snowy winter.But in a blink of an eye, the people he was familiar with dissipated in front of his eyes like green smoke, and his eyes returned to darkness.

There were whispers in the darkness.Wang Xiaoyuan vaguely felt that he seemed to be lying on the bed, with the soft mattress wrapped around his body, but he was still shivering from the cold.

Someone seemed to be sighing beside his bed.

"The meridians of the foot sun are vain, the cold has penetrated into the bone marrow, and after being soaked in the ice pool for so long, I am afraid it is hopeless..."

"Doctor, please take another look, is there really nothing you can do?" The person who spoke seemed to be a woman, with a sweet but anxious voice.Wang Xiaoyuan opened his eyelids with difficulty, and vaguely glimpsed a beautiful but haggard face.Whether she knows Lanwu or not, she is the only one who cares so much about her own safety, just like his real mother.

"It is said that there is a way, but there is." The man called the doctor said, "The 'Renyang Wangqi Pill' that Madam took a few days ago is the best prescription for dispelling cold and relieving asthma. It is a pity that this The prescription is in the hands of Wanyigu, and this Wangqi pill is extremely difficult to make, I wonder if Madam has a few spare pills?"

Hui Lanwu also looked dignified, suddenly unable to speak for some reason.Her eyes were slightly confused, she lowered her head and said, "There were two before, but now... there is only one left."

At this time, she was wearing a velvet blanket and holding a hand stove in her arms. Although she was still weak, her pale face was already flushed.After Ningyuan Hou let her take the Renyang Wangqi Pills obtained from Mu Yagong, the master of Wanyi Valley, Hui Lanwu became healthier, and her cold symptoms were slightly relieved, and she also recovered air.Marquis Ningyuan was overjoyed, so he planned to use another pill to recuperate her sick body.

Unexpectedly, at this juncture, the two little dolls in the mansion had an accident first, and fell into the ice pool in the severe cold together.Now there is only one Wangqi Pill that can dispel cold and poison, so how can it save the lives of two people?

"Jinwu...he has been weak since he was a child, and he has been suffering from cold symptoms in the future." Hui Lanwu also sighed, "I don't want him to go to the ice pool to play around by himself without listening to my advice in the past, and make a fuss like this Something happened. If it wasn't for Xiao Yuan's rescue, I'm afraid he would have frozen to death in the pond by now."

The doctor hesitated and said: "Young master of the family... now the cold air is entering the body, and the high fever does not go away. It is best to use Wangqi pills for treatment."

In the wing room, a dead silence suddenly spread.

Hui Lanwu also looked at Wang Xiaoyuan who was curled up in the quilt on the bed.The child seemed to be sleeping restlessly, his brows were tightly frowned, his little face was flushed red with cold sweat.She really couldn't let go of this child, Wang Xiaoyuan had a handsome face, hiding a lot of bad thoughts, but he wasn't bad to the bone.During the days when she and Jinwu were at odds, she saw the child pathetically following behind Jinwu, his bead-like eyes were full of yearning for forgiveness.

She bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, then raised her head and said to the doctor:

"Leave the remaining 'Renyang Wangqi Pill' to Jinwu."
