Gusu snow

Chapter 51: A Leisurely Traveler

The more he walked in, the more Qianqiu felt that the warmth on his body was gradually disappearing.He raised his head tremblingly and looked up at the white sky. In any case, it was hard to imagine that there would be such a cold place in the south in July, and there would be people living in Mijiang County in such bad weather.Thinking of this, Qianqiu couldn't help wrapping his clothes tightly, and followed Yun Shen silently.

What a bone-chilling chill, this is it.

As they got closer to Mijiang, their journey slowed down.

Unknowingly, Yun Shen had already slowed down his pace, and stretched out his hand to hold Qian Qiu's ice-like hand.

Zhu Jiang's fluttering voice came from the front: "Young master, young master, we are almost there!"

Yun Shen looked back at him, his lips were purple from the cold, took a deep breath and nodded, and continued walking towards Mijiang.

This abnormal weather has made it impossible to see people more than ten steps away.The cold wind whizzed through the canyon, making Qianqiu's ears ache.

The three of them were walking in the canyon. After an unknown period of time, the wind speed gradually decreased, and fine snowflakes gradually fell. Suddenly, their eyes lit up—it was actually here.

Strangely, they were standing on a hill, and Mijiang County was at their feet.

Looking down, you can only see clusters of houses, except you can't see people clearly.Yun Shen was shocked by this strange sight.

Without further ado, go down the mountain as soon as you arrive.Qian Qiu's body was extremely cold, but luckily Yun Shen held his hand for support, so that he didn't faint.

Zhu Jiang was in fairly good health, even though he couldn't handle the freezing weather, he was much better than Qianqiu, so he said hello to Yun Shen and went to find the inn.

Yun Shen had already memorized the map in his heart, and now he led Qian Qiu forward step by step.

Qian Qiu was so cold that he couldn't even ask anything, so he handed everything over to the person beside him and let him take him away.

The place Yun Shen went to was the Mijiang County Government Office.

The imperial court expressly stipulated that when exiles arrived at the place of exile, they had to go to the county government office to notify the local county magistrate as soon as possible.

The county government of Mijiang County was right in front of him, Yun Shen grasped the cold door knocker and knocked.

After a long time, the porter finally opened the door: "What's the matter?"

Yun Shen made a bow and said, "The general's son, Yun Shen, please see the county magistrate."

The concierge thought for a while, and suddenly realized, pointing at Yun Shen, he said, "It's actually you guys! Please come in, please come in! Go inside first and wait!"

Caught off guard by this enthusiasm, Qianqiu took a hard look at the concierge.The concierge had already run in to communicate.

The house is much warmer than outside, and there is a brazier.Yun Shen immediately helped Qian Qiu to the brazier, and patted the snow off his body.Qian Qiu grabbed Yun Shen's arm: "It's cold..."

Yun Shen gathered his clothes and whispered comfortingly: "It won't be cold in a while."

The concierge came back soon, and said to Yun Shen, "My lord, please go to your study!"

Qian Qiu really didn't want to leave, so Yun Shen had to go there alone.

In the county magistrate's study, the county magistrate is already waiting.

Yun Shen came in and made a bow: "Master County Magistrate."

At that time, the county magistrate also bowed to Yun Shen: "Young Master Yun, I have long admired your name!"

The county magistrate in front of him had heard of the names of Yun Shen and Yun Hanzhi, and he had great admiration in his heart. When he accidentally learned that Yun Shen was Yun Hanzhi, he was full of admiration for Yun Shen.During the period, the series of accidents encountered by the Yun family were passed on, and he was filled with righteous indignation but helpless.

"The emperor has long forgotten about me." The county magistrate sighed, "I have been the county magistrate in Mijiang for more than three years. I should have been transferred to another place long ago, but I haven't waited for the news. But that's okay, everything here is fundamental. Officials are used to it, and they don’t want to part with the people here, so it’s great.”

Yun Shen sincerely praised: "The county magistrate is a good official who truly cares about the people."

"No, no, no..." The county magistrate modestly waved his hands, "The prefect of Su is the one who cares about the people, and many people do. I'm just seeking a job in his position."

Yun Shen smiled, but didn't say much.

What did the magistrate think of when he said that: "The imperial decree said that the young master will arrive in Mijiang before the beginning of August. I thought the young master would be late, but I didn't expect it to be half a month earlier. In this way, the young master and his party have just arrived in Mijiang. If you adapt to the climate here, then go to the county government office to stay first, it’s better than looking for an inn in other places.”

Yun Shen made a bow: "Thank you county magistrate."

In fact, on the issue of dealing with exiled and relegated people, there were already very clear legal provisions in the previous dynasty: the exiled and relegated people should be treated leniently.Therefore, it is not uncommon for the county magistrate to grant residence or something, but there have been many corrupt and cunning officials throughout the history, so they don't take this law to heart at all.

Therefore, if the exiled and relegated people can meet a real good official, they will not suffer too much.

Although Yun Shen and the others came to the extremely cold place, they met a county magistrate who seemed to be a good official so far.

If we lose our horses, we can't know what a blessing is.

Qianqiu Leng's bones were aching, he waited tremblingly for Yun Shen to take a bath after taking a bath, and then climbed into bed tremblingly.

Yun Shen hugged him and hugged him tightly.

Even so, Qianqiu was still trembling, and finally calmed down gradually.

The three of them walked for too long and exhausted too much energy, so they soon fell asleep.

The charcoal fire was burning quietly in the room, and finally the room was slowly warmed up, Qian Qiu finally stopped shaking, and the tightly frowning brows in sleep also eased.

The next day...

Early in the morning, the county magistrate sent people to deliver various ginger soups, saying that they could keep out the cold.Qian Qiu, who had just washed up, was immediately fed several bowls, and didn't stop until even Zhu Jiang couldn't stand it anymore.

So Qianqiu didn't want to eat any breakfast all morning, the various tastes in his mouth from time to time made him want to vomit just looking at breakfast.

However, I was forced to finish eating.

He was already wearing several layers of thick fleece clothes, but he was still shaking slightly.

"Yunshen..." Qianqiu's teeth were chattering, and he stumbled when he spoke, "Do you still remember... Lin Liu?"

Yun Shen raised his eyebrows: "Qianqiu wants to find Lin Liu now?"

"Ah."

"That's okay." Yun Shen said lightly, "We can't live in the county government for a long time. When you come to Mijiang, you will have to rely on yourself. I wish you to go to Mijiang to explore the terrain and see if there is any suitable house. As for Linliu, we don’t need to look for it now.”

Zhu Jiang left in response, and left a pepper for Qianqiu before leaving.

Qianqiu: "..."

Finding Lin Liu still needs to rely on the county magistrate.Yun Shen told the whole story lightly, the county magistrate looked dignified, and nodded for a moment: "Young master, don't worry, I will send someone to bring Lin Liu here."

It seemed that everyone had gone to their duties for a while, Yun Shen held Qianqiu's hand in his palm to keep warm.Seeing Qianqiu shaking his head, he asked in a daze, "What did the county magistrate say?"

Yun Shen frowned lightly: "Didn't Qianqiu hear it just now?"

Qianqiu shook his head weakly, and involuntarily approached him again: "It may be too cold, I really have no impression."

Yun Shen said softly: "He immediately sent someone to bring Lin Liu, there is no need for us to look for it."

Qianqiu's eyes seemed to be deeply tired, and he straightened his back as if very tired.Yun Shen hugged him over, Qianqiu was defenseless and had no taboo, just leaned over to take a nap with his eyes closed.

Yun Shen took his hand casually, the temperature was still frighteningly low, and the several bowls of ginger soup didn't seem to have much effect.

The county magistrate was very efficient, and Lin Liu was found in a short while.

Qian Qiu had already fallen asleep leaning against Yun Shen's arms, but Yun Shen woke up after a careful movement.

As soon as Lin Liu heard about her brother, she dropped the work at hand and immediately followed the yamen official.When he saw Yun Shen and Qian Qiu, he was still a little apprehensive, and looked at them expectantly.

Qian Qiu said: "Miss Lin Liu?"

Lin Liu nodded: "You two young masters, do you know about my brother? Where is he now? How is it going? Did you say when you'll be back?"

Lin Liu's expectant and hopeful eyes made Qianqiu unbearable, thinking that Prime Minister Lin was dead, facing Lin Liu who was still a little girl, it was really hard for him to say anything.

He subconsciously glanced at Yun Shen, took a deep breath, and said softly: "Your brother Lin Xiang, he had a good life in Gusu, and he is already a very good teacher. Well, because there are many students in Gusu, he Maybe there is no time to come back, he asked us to see you and said he hoped you were well."

Lin Liu became happier the more she listened, and said excitedly, "Thank you, son! My brother is simple and honest, and he said before that he wanted to be a teacher." She rubbed her hands excitedly; "Since my brother can't come back, I'm going to go to my aunt Su looked at him!"

Qian Qiu blurted out: "Don't..."

Lin Liu gave him a strange look: "What?"

Yun Shen continued: "Miss Lin, Mr. Lin has something to say, I hope you can find a good home as soon as possible, don't let him worry."

Lin Liu blushed and nodded, thanking Yun Shen and Qian Qiu gratefully.

Seeing her leaving back, Qianqiu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if she had completed some important task.He shook his head, feeling more and more heavy and dizzy.

Yun Shen was always paying attention to his state, at this moment he stretched out his hand to test the temperature on his forehead, only to feel his head prickling with ice.

He frowned, picked Qianqiu up by the waist without saying a word, quickly fell back into the room, and stuffed Qianqiu into the quilt involuntarily: "Qianqiu sleeps first."

Qianqiu's head was in chaos, he could hardly hear anyone's voice, and opened his eyes with difficulty: "Yun Shen, where are you going?"

Yun Shen quickly ignited the charcoal fire, moved it to the side of the bed, and tucked the corner of the quilt again: "You are not allowed to get out of bed, did you hear me?"

He stroked Qianqiu's forehead: "I'll go grab the medicine, and I'll be back soon."

At this time, Qianqiu's consciousness had already blurred, and a deep sense of exhaustion and dizziness hit his brain.

His surroundings and body were so cold that he could only curl up in the blanket and shiver while sleeping—or, falling into a lethargic sleep.

Yun Shen walked out of the county office in a hurry. The porter was warming up the fire in the house. When he saw him coming out, he asked in surprise, "My lord, what are you doing out in the cold?"

"Picking medicine."

The concierge pointed to a road: "Go all the way from this road to the end, and there is the largest pharmacy in Mijiang. You can go there and have a look, sir."

"Thank you." Yun Shen bowed, and before there was any delay, he took advantage of the wind and luck, and quickly went to the pharmacy with lightness kung fu.He was anxious in his heart, and he knew very well what happened to Qianqiu in this state.

His old illness has relapsed.
