Chapter 75 ◇Missing

In May, Yangchun is just in time, and everything is in full bloom.

The lotus leaves in the pond are round and spread on the water surface one by one, very clean and lovely.The water in the pool is as green as washing, adding a bit of tranquility to the lotus leaves in the pond.By the pond, there are rows of willows, and the morning breeze blows the willow branches, bringing a slight warmth.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in a yellow shirt gallops past the pond on a bay red horse. The yellow shirt is flying, and the horse is whistling in the wind, which brings out a kind of joyful pride in this vibrant spring scene.

The fragrant grass is luxuriant, the pavilion is ten miles long, and the sound of sobbing and flute comes from the pavilion.The girl in the yellow shirt is standing sideways holding the flute, and is playing with her eyes closed.The tips of a few willow leaves were blown down by the wind on her simple bun, showing a natural beauty.

The sound of the flute is soothing, the tune is quiet, the grass sways naturally with the distant tune, and the earth is silent.

In the distance, a group of people came slowly.The man with thick eyebrows at the head saw the girl in the yellow shirt in the distance, and hurriedly came galloping with his whip.After riding outside the long pavilion, the man dismounted calmly, walked steadily and stood in front of the girl in yellow.

"Greetings to the princess." The thick-browed man saluted respectfully.

The girl in the yellow shirt stroked the jade flute in her hand, smiled lightly and said, "Get up."

Hearing this, the thick-browed man straightened up and stood on one side in an orderly manner.After standing for a while, he couldn't help but glanced at the woman in the yellow shirt, and thought to himself, could such a delicate and kind girl really be able to kill ten corrupt officials in a row by the Susong River?

This thick-browed man was originally an ordinary guard beside the eldest princess. If the eldest princess hadn't been traveling, I'm afraid he would not have had the opportunity to get in touch with the famous little princess in front of him so closely.Now that he was able to see a real person, he felt that the woman in front of him did not match the rumored image of being cruel and ruthless.

Ling Bi seemed to see the doubts of the man with thick eyebrows, she turned her head to him and said, "You seem to have something to say to me?"

The man with thick eyebrows tensed up, and then slowly relaxed.Even though it was the first time he saw Lingbi, he was not restrained. He raised his head and looked straight at Lingbi, and asked openly, "Did the little princess really kill those ten corrupt officials two months ago? Three years ago The flood in Kaifeng and the flood in the Susong River this time, are the victims really rescued by the little princess?"

Hearing this question, Lingbi knocked on the jade flute in his hand unhurriedly, and said slowly: "Corrupt officials are hateful, if they embezzle disaster relief money, shouldn't I kill them?"

"Should kill!"

"The disaster victims are poor. They lost their homes for no reason and contracted a disease. Shouldn't I help them?"

"It should be saved!"

Lingbi smiled slightly, "Since that's the case, what else is there to ask about this kind of thing!"

The thick-browed man also laughed with Lingbi.

Just as the two looked at each other and smiled, the princess's convoy slowly drove outside the pavilion.I saw the eldest princess dressed as a woman getting out of the car. As soon as she saw Lingbi, she smiled and said: "Abi, your flute has become warmer."

"Sister, I'm here to pick you up!" Ling Bi ran forward and hugged the eldest princess with a soft expression.

In the bamboo hut, Lingbi handed the teacup to the Eldest Princess, then looked at her and said, "I always go back to Beijing by myself, why did Sister come here to pick me up this time?"

"How dare you say that!" The eldest princess nodded Lingbi's forehead, stared at her and said, "Knowing that you went to treat the victims again, who in our family can rest assured and sleep soundly? Your brother I was so anxious that I was insane, and I was afraid that you would make it difficult for me to speak out."

Hearing this, Lingbi hurriedly lowered her head and lowered her eyes, as if listening respectfully.

It has been five years since Hongzhi, and three years have passed since the last flood in Kaifeng, and the Lingbi is already there.In the past two years, she traveled to study medicine, and supervised the construction of government-run medical clinics in various remote areas. She was very busy.

There has always been a lack of medical care in remote areas. If the people there get sick, they have to travel across mountains and ridges for several days to reach nearby towns to find medical clinics.After Lingbi knew the situation, he took out his own money and planned to build government-run medical clinics in remote places in various provinces, so that the people there could receive timely medical treatment when they fell ill.

Zhu Youtang supported Lingbi's approach very much, and specially sent a group of people to follow her at her disposal.The eldest princess and his wife also contributed their efforts, and they personally checked and selected qualified doctors for Lingbi.After the Hua family knew about this, they immediately sent Lingbi real estate and supplies from various places, which solved a big problem for her.

Because in the past two years, Lingbi treated people with complex diseases in remote areas, and now her medical skills have been greatly improved. Occasionally, even Ximen Chuuxue could find fault with the prescriptions she prescribed.

Just when Lingbi was working hard to study medical skills and was busy supervising the construction of medical clinics, the Susong River suddenly flooded, the river was blocked, the canal stopped flowing, and the disaster spread to several important towns in the south of the Yangtze River. The situation was very critical.

After learning of this, Lingbi quickly joined the imperial court's imperial envoys and entered Jiangnan to assist in disaster relief.Later, corrupt officials were rampant and embezzled the money for disaster relief. In a rage, she killed ten corrupt officials in a row by the Susong River, completely shocking everyone.

Now two months have passed, Lingbi, who assisted the imperial envoy and taught medical skills, left Jiangnan and returned to the village where he supervised the construction of the medical center.Although she came out, the people in Beijing were in a hurry, they had to see her in person to be at ease, and it was precisely because of this that the eldest princess came out to find someone in person, trying to take Lingbi back.

"You, you!" The eldest princess looked at Lingbi resentfully, "Those ten officials are easy to kill? If Master Xu hadn't protected you, do you think you can get out of Jiangnan?" The more she said, the elder The princess became even more angry, she simply stood up, twisted Lingbi's ears, and said bitterly, "Look who's used to you, so lawless!"

Lingbi said "Oh" a few times, and hurriedly rescued her ears from the eldest princess, then rubbed her ears and said with a loud smile: "Sister, don't tell me, the imperial envoy sent by my brother this time, that one Mr. Xu, he really has a temper with me! At that time, those corrupt officials were arrogant, I said kill, he said yes, we hit it off like this!"

Hearing this, the Eldest Princess was both angry and funny, she shook her head helplessly and said: "Master Xu was originally from the war, and he has always been ruthless in doing things, and he really has a temper for you."

Ling Bi rolled her eyes with a smile, and then told the eldest princess the funny story about Master Xu stripping off those who violated the military law and parading them through the streets.

After laughing for a while, the eldest princess said solemnly: "Abi, go back with me. Even if you still have something to do, stop and go back to Beijing with me first, so that everyone in the family has seen it, so you can rest assured. Come out again."

Lingbi pursed her lips slightly, nodded and said: "Give me a few days, I will settle the matter in hand thoroughly, and then go back with you, sister, and stay in Beijing for a few more months!" At the end, she lowered her eyes and said, "In this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, I...although I still haven't saved many people, I have tried a few good prescriptions. I have to sort out these prescriptions before I can feel at ease."

The eldest princess smiled and agreed.After a while, she hesitated and said, "A Bi, Hua Manlou asked me to bring you a letter."

Hearing this, Ling Bi was taken aback for a moment, then frowned deeply, revealing a confused and melancholy expression.

Seeing this, the eldest princess hurriedly said: "If you don't want to watch it, forget it."

Lingbi smiled faintly, shook her head firmly after a while, and said, "Give it to me." After finishing speaking, she quietly waited for the eldest princess to take out the letter, then took the letter and stuffed it into her cuff.

In the middle of the night, the light moon cage gauze, graceful and graceful.

In the bamboo house, a lamp is like a bean, and Lingbi stands in front of the window, looking up at the moon.

She hadn't seen it for two years, but now that she suddenly got the news of Huamanlou, she felt as if there was a very sour olive hidden in her heart, so sour that her heart ached, her eyes were hot, and she almost shed tears.

At this time, the moonlight was misty, and there was no one around.In this suffocatingly quiet late night, she suddenly recalled what she said when she parted with Hua Manlou two years ago.

"Seventh brother, do you really like me?"

"But why do you suddenly like me again?"

"Is it because you know I've contracted the plague? Or is it because you blame yourself?"

"I... don't want such an unclear relationship. Why don't we separate and think about it clearly, okay?"

The fingers rubbing Yuxiao paused, Lingbi seemed to feel cold suddenly, she slightly slumped her shoulders, stretched out her hands and slowly hugged her arms.

Time always flies, and two years have passed in a blink of an eye.In the past two years, she worked desperately and studied medicine desperately, as if if she didn't fill up her time, she would be completely defeated by cowardice, and confessed her miss in embarrassment.

She misses him, every day, every night.She is like a lonely and tragic fighter walking in the dark night. She dare not look back, and dare not check what she left behind, because she knows that if she turns her head back, she will lose the courage to move on.

That person was too warm, and she was afraid that if she indulged in this tenderness, she would gradually lose herself, become weak, timid, and trembling.

Ling Bi took out the letter from her sleeve and read it quietly for a while.Several times, when she was determined to open the letter, her hand would suddenly become weak, so heavy that she could hardly lift it.

The fingers snapped loose, and the letter whizzed to the ground.Ling Bi leaned forward to pick up the letter, and then sighed deeply in her heart.

What exactly did she want this letter to contain?Did Hua Manlou think it through and decided to give up, or did he still decide not to let go, and still decided to wait for himself?

After a long silence, Lingbi finally made up his mind to open the letter and flatten it.

Unexpectedly, this letter did not mention Hua Manlou's own thoughts, but faithfully recorded the names of familiar people, familiar things, and the recent situation of these people.

Lingbi's hands trembled suddenly, and her breathing became short of breath.The name of the person recorded in this letter belongs to the disaster victim who died tragically in Kaifeng two years ago!

It turned out that Lingbi wasn't the only one busying around in the past two years, Hua Manlou was also doing what he was supposed to do.He spent two full years searching for the background and contacting the family members of the victims who died of illness.No matter good or bad, he will build a tomb for them and leave a trace for them in this world.

In addition, he will also help local orphans and widows, and those who have lost their relatives, healthy bodies and all their property in the disaster.

Leaving dignity for the dead and bringing hope to the living, this is Hua Manlou's insistence, and it is what Lingbi is more willing to do today.

It took Huamanlou two years to do everything he could do, and then he returned to the princess mansion, recorded the current situation of the victims in a warm and lingering tone, and then handed the letter to the eldest princess, Entrust her to bring Lingbi.

His fingers trembled, and the letter paper trembled. Bean-sized tears kept dripping on the letter paper, staining the words on the letter.The more she looked down, the more Lingbi couldn't stop her tears.When she turned over the pages of the letter paper and saw the last sentence written by Hua Manlou, she just felt that there was a glint of water in front of her eyes, covering her whole world.

At the end of the letter, Hua Manlou wrote this sentence: "What you want to do but are afraid to do, let me do it."

For a moment, Lingbi couldn't control her emotions anymore, broke down and burst into tears.She buried her head on the window, and the faint moonlight fell on her shoulders, covering her whole body, as if someone had made a thin coat for her.

Suddenly a voice sounded in her heart, that voice was full of annoyance, grievance, but also a hint of sweetness and joy, that voice told her, go back, go back quickly, go back to that person.
