chasing autumn

The next day, afternoon.

Yu Huolian came out from Kaifeng mansion and led the horse all the way back to Zhulin Xiaozhu.

Master Bao went to the palace today to meet the saint and was not in the yamen, so there was nothing important, so he took the opportunity to slip away first.In fact, even if there is any case, he doesn't bother to take care of it at the moment, since Mr. Bao is not around, he seems to be missing a magic spell, and all actions are under his own command.What's more, Li Jing doesn't know where he has gone now, and no one is guarding Qiuniang, so he is still a little worried.

Qiuniang said, we can't stop him from coming, and if he doesn't want to come, we can't invite him either—so, don't worry about him.

Yu Huolian walked and pondered: Thinking about it is right, now I can't go back to the main altar, let alone see my father, so I can't tell my father...

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a causal logic to it, and it was logical!Overjoyed, my hanging heart finally let go...

Just as he was thinking, he had already arrived in front of Xiaozhu Gate.

Yu Huolian fastened Lightning's rein, stepped up the steps, and pushed the door, "Mother..."

Suddenly there was a stagnation.

There was a familiar white figure in front of him, sitting on a chair near the bed, under the sunlight in the afternoon, the dazzling white was so dazzling that the eyes were almost dazed.The moment the four eyes met, Yu Huolian's heart skipped a beat, and the original smile froze on her lips, "Father!..."

Yu Huolian couldn't help but cast a glance at Qiuniang who was leaning on the bed at this time, and saw that she was motionless, her lips were slightly opened and closed but she didn't make a sound, her eyes looked anxiously at Huolian and turned back from time to time in displeasure. He stared at Zhan Hao.

Mother, is the acupuncture point tapped by father? ...

Yu Huolian lowered her head and thought for a while, the words she had thought up before suddenly seemed like a mess.

"Why did you come back?"

"I..." Yu Huolian stammered, "Bao Zheng is not here, nothing to do..."

"That's not bad,..."

Zhan Hao snorted intentionally or unintentionally, but his brows were still furrowed, he stretched out his hand to feel Qiu Niang's pulse.

After a long silence, he asked, "Where are the two genius doctors you invited?"

Yu Huolian thought that father still wanted to kill them to silence them, so she hurriedly argued, "Father! Mother is much better..."

"shut up!"

Zhan Hao secretly held his breath, and with difficulty suppressed the sudden anger in his heart. He stabilized his mind and said solemnly, "What's the matter?! Is this what you said? ... The illness was only suppressed by the medicine, and the body recovered temporarily. The original, but once the medication is stopped, the symptoms are likely to recur again, and from now on we will be dependent on the drug and become a medicine jar! What good is this?!"

Yu Huolian hurriedly said, "Father, this baby has come out too, but it's better than vomiting blood every day, no matter what they say, they saved mother's life..."

"You think I'm going to kill them?..."

Zhan Hao interrupted him, snorted softly, and ordered in a cold voice, "Go and bring me the prescription."

"Oh."

Yu Huolian reluctantly took a piece of paper from the small cabinet on the table and handed it to Zhan Hao.

The slightly familiar prescription made Zhan Hao startled: Is this... the Liao poison from back then? ! ...

For a while, he also felt a little tricky.

This Liao poison is not only poisonous and insidious, but also difficult to diagnose and detect. Now that the symptoms are suppressed by drugs, it is even more difficult to analyze.Seeing the prescription Zhan Hao now, it suddenly dawned on him: After so many years, has this poison always existed? ...

"father……"

Yu Huolian stood by the side for quite a while, then said hesitantly, "This poison..."

Zhan Hao glanced at him, got up and went out of the room, "Come out with me."

"Um?……"

Yu Huolian was slightly startled, full of doubts, hesitated and did not move.

"come out!"

Zhan Hao shouted, "Are you deaf?!"

"Zhan Hao! You..."

In a panic, Qiuniang broke through the Ya acupoint, "If you have something to say, just say it in the room! What are you doing out there!..."

Qiuniang looked at Yu Huolian and said anxiously, "Huolian, come and untie the acupoints for mother..."

Before Yu Huolian moved, she heard Zhan Hao yelling outside the house: "How dare you!!—"

For a moment, cold sweat broke out on Yu Huolian's forehead.

************************

Yu Huolian went out of the house, closed the door, followed Zhan Hao to the wide open space in front of the house.

Qiuniang sat stiffly on the bed, still unable to move, and could only listen carefully.During this time, there was the sound of swords screaming outside the house, as well as bursts of heart-wrenching noises. She shouted a few words anxiously, but she couldn't get any reply.Zhan Hao naturally ignored her, so Yu Huolian didn't dare to speak out.Qiuniang anxiously tried to move her fingers, and her fingertips felt sore and numb.

Only two people outside the house could be heard saying:

"I taught you swordsmanship the day before Colonel Field, how is your practice?"

"Huh?...I... my baby has been very busy, so..."

"Busy? What are you busy with?!"

"...Well, at that time, Dad just talked about the sword manual..."

"Why, do you have an opinion?!"

"..."

"How to teach is my business, how to learn is your business! You still control me!...Practice for me!"

……

"stop!"

"..."

"What kind of garlic are you giving me here?! You only have this strength? Didn't you eat?!"

"I... yes..."

"Then you don't have to eat it!"

……

"Father, I want to drink water..."

"What water to drink?!...Continue!"

……

"You only have one day. If you can't learn this sword technique today, you don't have to sleep! I'll be with you!"

……

This is the last trick I'll teach you,

fire lotus,

This catastrophe, life or death, depends on your own good fortune!

*************************

The noise outside the house did not stop until the early morning of the second day.

Zhan Hao didn't enter the house again, he gave some instructions in a low voice and left.

Yu Huolian went directly to Mr. Qin's room next door to rest.

After a while, the acupuncture points on Qiuniang's body were gradually untied.

"Fire lotus..."

After nearly seven hours of tossing, Zhan Hao was willing to let him go. He was too tired and slept soundly.

Qiuniang sat by the bed, twisted a warm cloth towel and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead and the dust from his hands, but he didn't notice.

Qiuniang thought to herself: This child is covered in dirt, and he lay down and slept without changing his clothes! ...

The night in late autumn is cool.When Qiuniang went out to pour water, he stretched out his hand to grab the quilt that was only covering half of his body. He didn't want to miss it, and he didn't want to wake up. He turned over, hugged his arms a little tighter, and fell asleep still soundly. Deep down.

When Qiuniang returned to the room, she saw that he was feeling cold, so she quickly helped him pull the quilt up tightly.When Qiuniang's hand touched his shoulder, Yu Huolian's whole body trembled and her brows frowned slightly.Qiuniang quickly left his hand, and when she looked carefully, she saw that his right shoulder was swollen, with some faint red marks showing through.

Tears filled Qiuniang's face and dripped down.

At some point, Yu Huolian tightly grasped her hand.

He whispered in his sleep, "...Mum, don't cry...I don't hurt..."

Startled, Qiuniang quickly wiped away her tears and patted him to sleep.
