Chapter 5 two

Many things after being shot by the arrow left nothing but blanks for Batu, only Qingya and this basement were real.Qingya actually met Zalandin, and her father was treating Zalandin again, so why did she risk her life to save him?Is it true that, as she said, in the eyes of medical practitioners, there are no enemies and friends, only healthy people and sick people? Qingya is like a mystery, which arouses Batu's curiosity.However, this is probably not the most important thing. The most important thing is that in the loneliness of recovering from injury, Qingya has long been the comfort in his heart.He is familiar with and relies on Qingya's voice and figure. When he is far away from her voice and figure, he suddenly feels helpless, and he has never felt this way before.

Qingya is not very like those girls he has seen on the grassland. Although she is cheerful, forthright and passionate, her temperament is still unfamiliar to him. The strange thing is that he actually admires and likes this temperament from the bottom of his heart.To be honest, apart from his fourth aunt Mrs. Su Ru, he couldn't think of any other woman who could compare with Qing Ya.Maybe his younger sister Weixuan can grow up, but Weixuan is still just a little girl, since Xizheng, he has not seen Weixuan for three years. The time became extremely long in the anxious waiting, and Ba wanted to close his eyes and sleep for a while, but he couldn't fall asleep anyway.The unrelenting pain in his chest and ankle made him irritable.He was thinking about the battle ahead, but in this gloomy basement, he couldn't hear any sounds from outside, and he didn't know when he would recover and when he would leave Yulong Jiechi.Qingya's father is treating Zalanding, so Zalanding is sick?When Qingya comes back from delivering the medicine later, she must ask her what happened.

For the time being, Batu could only rely on random thoughts to pass the difficult time. In fact, he had been listening to the sound of the door leading to the basement opening.Why hasn't Qingya come back?Could it be that there was an accident on the way to deliver the medicine?No, no, he must have been worrying too much. A smart girl like Qing Ya will definitely be fine. It was difficult to distinguish the sun and the moon in the basement, and the sky outside the window had already darkened.Finally hearing the sound of "squeak", Batu's heart couldn't help beating violently.Is it Qingya?

The candlelight reflected a slender figure moving down lightly.At this moment, Batu suddenly realized that his excitement was actually due to missing. Accompanied by the scent of flowers and another familiar scent, Qingya put the basket in her hand aside, sat down, and carefully observed Batu's face while holding the candlestick.Her gaze finally intertwined with Batu's gaze, and from it, she saw an indescribable expression. "What's wrong?" Batu shook his head, trying his best to conceal his strange mood. "I'll help you up. You must be hungry after changing your medicine and eating something, right?"

Qingya didn't say anything, but Badu didn't feel anything, but when Qingya said it, Badu immediately felt his legs go weak.He knew what was in the basket, no wonder he felt the aroma was very familiar just now. Batu could hardly wait for the medicine to be changed, so he grabbed a steamed bun and ate it hungrily.He just felt that he had never eaten such delicious food in his life.Sitting next to Batu, Qingya poured out a bowl of warm chicken soup from a clay pot, stirred it with a small spoon, and watched Batu's greedy eating with a smile, her eyes revealing maternal tenderness.

"Don't worry, take it easy, drink some chicken soup first. You are just starting to eat, you can't eat too much, and you can't eat greasy ones. I boiled a can of chicken soup for you. You can taste it. Be careful. Be careful. " Batu turned a deaf ear.However, when he cleaned up all the soup and water, he found that he was really only half full.He stared regretfully at the empty plates and cans, and licked his lips. "What am I eating?" he asked suddenly. "What? Oh, you mean steamed buns. I steamed them myself. It's rare to eat them on the grasslands, right? In the Central Plains, every household eats them."

"Can I still eat it tomorrow?" "That's ok. Food is what this basement doesn't lack. Tomorrow, I'll make noodles and pancakes for you. I can also get chicken, beef and mutton, all of which were rewarded by King Zalandin. You need to start supplementing your nutrition." "Zalandin...what's wrong with him?" "It's not a serious illness. It's just that the right leg suffered some wind and cold, which made it difficult to move. It's basically healed now. My father has been treating him in the palace. He also gave us some food and clothing from time to time. Otherwise, where would we be?" Meat for you to eat. By the way, I haven't asked your name yet?"

"Batu." "Your name sounds familiar. There must be many people with this name on the grasslands, right? Three years ago, when my father, brother and sister-in-law and I traveled to the grasslands, I met a lady who was very noble and kind. She left a deep impression on me on the prairie." "Oh, her name is..." "Everyone calls her Mrs. Su Ru. Have you heard of her?" "Well, it's my fourth aunt." "Is it your fourth aunt?" "Yes. She is my fourth uncle's wife and my mother's cousin." Qing Ya didn't say anything more, but her eyes became more intimate and caring.

Batu stared at Qingya intently.Under the dim light, the elegant complexion does not look particularly fair, but presents a healthy rosy luster.Her eyes are black and bright, and her eyebrows are not particularly long, but they are straight and slightly raised at the tip of her eyebrows. With thick eyelashes and a straight and delicate nose, her oval face looks smart and rich. fun.Her mouth seemed to be a little bigger, but it was cutely big, her lips were ruddy, and when she smiled, her teeth were as neat and white as pearls. Maybe it was because Batu's gaze was too focused and engrossed, Qingya lowered her eyelids slightly in a daze, with complicated joy surging in her heart.In the past, she had seen too many envious eyes, but never once made her flustered like this.

That day, when she found him by the Amu Darya River, it seemed that something was preordained in the sky.She wiped every inch of his hot skin with warm light salt water, and she felt his strength and helplessness.He lay there like a sleeping baby, no matter how painful he was, he never groaned.She really didn't want him to die, she had never seen a man as strong as him, she wanted him to live, even if she gave everything for it, she was willing.She succeeded, his body heat finally receded, and she began to wait anxiously for him to wake up again, she firmly believed that he would wake up, she imagined the first words he would say after waking up time and time again, she was eager to be with him He communicates.

All of this is indeed a bit strange. She really has too much reluctance to give up the life she snatched back from the hands of death.She likes the way he looks at her, no matter whether it is full of doubts, full of admiration or anything else, his eyes always remind her of the ivy stretching out its branches and leaves in the crevices of the rocks, and the waves of the sea beating against the rocks. Tao, and these have always represented indomitable and strength in her mind. His strength... The masculine body in front of her quickly flashed in her mind, and two blushes flew quietly on her face. The leisurely silence surrounded Batu and Qingya, at this moment, they would rather keep silent like this.The door was slowly pushed open, and a woman quietly appeared in front of the door.Seeing her, Qingya immediately walked up the stairs and took her hand back to Batu's side. "The children are asleep?" Qing Ya asked softly. The woman nodded, but looked at Batu with her eyes. This woman was not much older than Qing Ya, her hair and clothes were neat, but her eyes were a little special, full of sadness and bewilderment.Even so, Batu still felt very kind, and this face was once a part of his dreams. "This is my sister-in-law. She was the one who helped me take care of you when you were unconscious." Batu looked at the woman gratefully. "Thank you, Mrs. Shen." He said sincerely. The woman shyly shook her head.She turned her head and asked Qingya what, Qingya still answered softly.A reassuring smile appeared on the woman's face, she looked at Batu for a while, said a few words, then turned and left.However, Ba could not understand what she said. "My sister-in-law can understand your words, but she doesn't speak very well. She is very happy to know that your injury is okay. She wants you to take good care of your injury and don't be too impatient." "Really? I can feel her kindness, but unfortunately I can't understand what she is saying. You are so kind to her." "She deserves our kindness to her. She is a virtuous wife and a filial daughter-in-law, but she is too weak. After her brother died of illness, she collapsed." Batu was secretly taken aback. Tears flashed in Qingya's eyes.Batu felt two teardrops rolling down on the back of his hand, only to realize that at some point his hand had already held Qingya's hands on his knees. Qingya gently pulled out her hands and wiped away her tears. "It's all over." She murmured, "Tomorrow, you can move around properly. It's getting late, so you should have a good sleep." "Really? Is it night now?" "yes." Badu wanted to persuade Qingya to go to bed earlier, but he was reluctant to let her go, conflicted in his heart, and he didn't say anything for a long time.Qingya seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "When you were seriously injured, I was always by your side. Now that you can't move, I'm afraid I have to stay with you for a few more days." "Really?" Batu asked excitedly. "Look at you, now you're like a child again. I sleep in the corner of the room beyond the stairs. If you have anything to do at night, call me. No matter what, you don't have to be embarrassed." Badu felt that Qingya's words had some deep meaning, and after thinking about it, he finally understood what she was referring to, and couldn't help coughing lightly in embarrassment. Qingya laughed, very happily. "Okay, I'm really going to bed. Remember to call me." Qingya filled up the oil lamp and returned to her bed.Batu closed his eyes, quietly listening to the even breathing in the dimness. After a long time, Qingya asked softly, "Are you asleep?" "No." "Let's talk for a while." "it is good." Qing Ya thought for a moment. "I'll tell you a story." "Qing Ya." Ba called out very abruptly. "how?" "Come here, please? Help me sit up. I want to sit for a while." Qingya obediently walked over with the quilt in her arms, and put the quilt on Batu's back to make him sit more comfortably.Sitting beside Batu, she slowly told a story that was not far away. One day more than 30 years ago, a young man named Wanyan Shenhe visited the Great Wall with his parents and four older brothers, which became the beginning of his love for traveling in the future.The Wanyan family was originally a wealthy family. Shen He's father was powerful in the court for a while, and the four elder brothers also entered the court one after another after they grew up. Only Shen He had no interest in official career, and spent his days indulging in sightseeing. , a hundred persuasion does not listen.Seeing that the youngest son was so hopeless, the father kicked him out of the house in a rage and let him do whatever he wanted. Shen He is both smart and discerning. Over the years, he used the silver that his mother secretly gave him before leaving home to start some small businesses. In this way, after many years of traveling, he not only did not sit and eat, but also returned to Beijing. There was a savings in one of the most reputable money houses.Getting kicked out of the house meant a kind of relief for him, and since then, he has traveled farther and farther. At that time, it was Jin Zhangzong who was in power. The emperor loved Concubine Li Yuan very much.Before the Concubine Yuan became favored, Shen He's father publicly opposed Jin Zhangzong's acceptance of Li as his concubine because he despised Li's humble background.Concubine Li Yuan held a grudge against this, so she colluded with the treacherous minister Xu Zhiguo to fabricate charges and imprison Shen He's father, and then executed Shen He's family for treason.At that time, Shen He was traveling outside and survived.When the bad news came, Shen He didn't dare to go back to the capital, and followed a caravan to Dali Kingdom, where he was named Shen He from then on. The tragedy of family ruin was a huge blow to Shen He. Since then, he has been living a life of hiding in Tibet. When he arrived in Dali, he had very little money left.Just when he was at his wit's end, he stumbled into a famous medical center as an apprentice by mistake.The shopkeeper of this medical center is a veritable king of medicine, who is regarded as a living god by the local people.The King of Medicine has only one daughter, who was acquired by the King of Medicine in his sixty-ninth year, and she loves it like a treasure.This year, Yao Wang is more than a few years old, and he is looking for an apprentice who can inherit his mantle.Seeing that Shen He is smart, intelligent, hard-working, honest and simple, he likes him very much, and brings Shen He with him every time he visits the doctor.Shen He is indeed talented, he learns what he encounters, learns what he learns, and soon has a certain reputation in the local area. The king of medicine readily accepts Shen He as a closed disciple, and betroths his only daughter to Shen He. The medicine king died of no illness at the end of his eighty years, and before he died, he passed the medical center to Shen He.In June of the first year of Da'an (1209), Wei Shao Wang Yongji, who succeeded Zhangzong as emperor, killed Li Yuanfei and killed Xu Zhiguo. At the same time, he issued an edict to restore the title and official position of Shen He's father and brother.After hearing the news, Shen He decided to close the clinic temporarily after discussing with his wife, and returned to the capital to retrieve the gold, silver and jewelry he had deposited in the bank.At this time, Shen He already had a pair of dragon and phoenix sons and daughters under his knees, who were only nine years old.In Mrs. Shen's mother's family, when women get married, most of them give birth to twins, which is extremely rare in the local area. Shen He brought his family back to the capital and stayed temporarily.A year later, Mrs. Shen died of illness. After mourning, Shen He had no intention of returning to Dali, and began to travel around the world with his younger siblings.Shen He has excellent medical skills, and he often practiced medicine to save lives along the way. In his spare time, he also taught his younger brothers and sisters to read and write, and he enjoyed it. Time passed day by day, and the little brothers and sisters grew up day by day.At the age of seventeen, my elder brother married a Khitan girl during his travels, and gave birth to a daughter the following year.This Young Mrs. Shen is virtuous and gentle, obedient to her husband and filial to her father-in-law.Soon after marriage, she embarked on a journey with her father-in-law and husband.One day, when passing through the Mongolian grassland, it was snowing heavily, and Mrs. Shen had abdominal pain and was about to give birth. Fortunately, Mrs. Su Ru found out and took the family into her tent to take care of her.A hundred days after the child, the family continued westward and came to Jade Dragon Jiechi.It was also a coincidence that as soon as he stayed at the inn, he met a young man with a distended abdomen seeking medical treatment everywhere. Shen He administered silver needles and fed herbal medicines. The young man vomited several times within an hour, and the abdominal distension disappeared naturally.In order to thank Shen He for saving his life, the young man insisted on inviting Shen He's family to live in his empty house in the castle... Qingya didn't go on talking, Ren Badu held her hand, and leaned his head gently and comfortably on Batu's shoulder.She did it so naturally that she didn't even notice it.Batu already understood the ins and outs of the matter, thought for a moment, and then asked, "What's the name of the young man who was cured by Dr. Shen He?" "Ha Yati. He is the sheriff of Yulong Jiechi himself, and his family has a strong background. I'm afraid you don't know that his elder brother is the most famous judge in the city. Before the Mongolian army besieged Yulong Jiechi, his elder brother was Advocating peace talks with the Mongols, he was executed by King Zalandin. He died a terrible death at that time, and he was tortured to death with iron nails piercing his ears. Ha Yati hated King Zalandin very much for this, and he wanted to take revenge. But , the king is a king after all, revenge is easier said than done! My father has been telling him to calm down." "Then, how can Zalandin feel at ease with him?" "I don't know, maybe it's because he's good at hiding himself." "Did Shen He also recommend him to treat Zalandin?" "Not necessarily, I haven't heard him talk about it. Since coming to Yulong Jiechi, my father has treated many people. One of them is King Zalandin's niece and son-in-law, who is also suffering from wind paralysis. Maybe Zalandin It is unknown what the king heard from his niece and son-in-law." "Does Ha Yati visit you often?" "After the fall of the former city, it came less. King Zalandin strengthened his army, and he was also sent to patrol the city." "He is willing to tell you the secrets in his heart, which shows that he trusts you very much." "Friends should trust each other, shouldn't they?" In fact, Qingya has long heard the real intention of the questioner, and she is both ashamed and happy.In fact, she and Ha Yati are really just friends, but at this moment, with the peculiar reserve of a girl, she is willing to indulge Batu's anxiety and suspicion. Badu was silent.He felt that it was impolite for him to pursue the matter like this, but he was a little unwilling and jealous that another man became Qingya's friend earlier than him. Under the dim light, Qing Ya's eyes are like stars, staring at the dancing wick.Her hair fluttered on Batu's face, a little itchy.Batu turned his face sideways and stared at her for a long time, and a sudden impulse made him unable to resist kissing her smooth and jade-like forehead.Qingya smiled lazily, in a trance, as if thinking about other things. Batu's chest began to ache, he resisted it, and a pained expression flashed across his face inadvertently.Qingya noticed it immediately: "You've been sitting for too long, you should lie down for a while." "I'm fine." "I won't go away, just sit here with you. You can't be too tired, you know?" "Ok." "Now it's your turn to tell me a story." "I...can't tell stories, can you tell me about yourself?" A blush flashed across Qing Ya's face.It was exactly what she had hoped for. Batu lay back on the bunk, closed his eyes slightly, and recalled his childhood and youth. There were many interesting and unforgettable things in it, even including the love-hate emotional entanglement between his father and Zuhan. Also tell Qing Ya.In his more than twenty years of life, except for his fourth aunt, Madam Su Ru, he really couldn't remember who he wanted to say so much to, let alone a young girl who listened to him.It must be Changshengtian's care for him that allowed him to meet Qingya in the days of crisis. Qingya listened quietly and smiled quietly.Finally, Batu fell into a deep sleep under the elegant and gentle gaze.
