Flowing Years

Chapter 44

At dawn, Bai Zezhi received a verbal order to leave immediately.Before leaving, Bai Zezhi went to say goodbye to his mother.

"Master." Tim Zhu, who was waiting outside, called softly, and hurriedly got up.

"Don't get up, be careful to disturb your mother," Bai Zezhi stopped Tian Zhu's movements, "I'll just take a look and leave."

Tian Zhu nodded and said: "Madam got better after taking the medicine, and slept more peacefully in the second half of the night."

Bai Zezhi stood in front of his mother's bed and looked at it for a while.There was only a little light left in the room far away, and the warm light from the crimson lampshade made the mother's pale face slightly flushed.I used to leave home often, but never in such a hurry as this time. Even waiting for my mother to wake up and say goodbye is a luxury.I don't know if it was because of his mother's illness, but Bai Zezhi was a little depressed.In the end, he clenched his fist, put a letter on the bedside, and left.

The chariot sent by the emperor was very comfortable, and there was very little bumping when sitting in it. Two coachmen in front planned to alternately drive the chariot day and night.Seeing that Bai Zezhi, who had not slept all night, finally fell asleep in the gentle rocking of the carriage, Ye Yuan finally felt relieved.

The sun has not yet come out, and there is a light yellow color floating between the sky and the earth.From the mountainside, Dongda Mountain is entangled with some deep and shallow clouds, half-covered, enchanting and shy.The wet leaves are sticky with mud and rocks, making them slippery.Su Mu stepped on the leaves that had fallen to the ground yesterday, carefully climbing and walking.

"Holy doctor, be careful." Nong Ruo lightly supported him behind him.

"Thank you." Su Mu withdrew his arm and stepped back.Su Mu is always a little uncomfortable with Nong Ruo's enthusiasm.Going up the mountain to choose medicine like today, Nong Ruo has been waiting for Su Mu all along.From the bottom of his heart, Su Mu didn't want to get entangled with a woman like Nong Ruo. On the one hand, it was because of Nong Ruo's background, and on the other hand, he felt that Nong Ruo was too enthusiastic.

This Nongruo is the daughter of the richest man in Luo Na, and the largest plantation in Lanqiao belongs to her family.Nong Ruo followed his father to Lanqiao on a whim, and saw Su Mu who was treating the serfs.At that time, Su Mu was like the holy doctor and Buddha in the temple of Luona, compassionate and kind.No one would have imagined that Nong Ruo, who is lively and lively, would fall in love with such a quiet doctor.At the first glance, Nong Ruo called Su Mu "holy doctor".Su Mu raised his head in a hurry, but he didn't realize that the holy doctor was a god and Buddha in the temple. He said to Nong Ruo in a daze, "I'm just a mere doctor..." Since then, Nong Ruo has been appearing by Su Mu's side.What surprised Su Mu was that Nong Ruo's father didn't stop him at all.

Su Mu collected his attention, glanced at Nong Ruo's shoe that was stained with a wet leaf, then reached out to take the wet leaf off for her, and said, "Nong Ruo, why bother? It's very dangerous to go up the mountain to find medicine. A place that no one cares about on weekdays..."

Nong Ruo looked at Su Mu's drooping eyes at the moment when he leaned over, and his heart was already moved.She raised a smile and said, "I like it!"

Su Mu raised his eyes, looked at the girl in front of him with eyes full of admiration, didn't know how to answer the words, lowered his eyes, turned and walked forward.I don't know, Nong Ruo just fell in love with the gentleness in Su Mu's lowered eyes, just like the first time I saw it.

Su Mu carefully searched for herbs, and glanced at Nong Ruo behind him from time to time.But Nong Ruo chose a vine, picked two wild flowers, and followed Su Mu very happily.

"Holy doctor..." Nong Ruo pulled La Sumu.

Su Mu smiled lightly when he saw a rare white wood, and immediately looked over when he heard Nongruo's slightly trembling voice.Behind the densely covered long grass lay a person, judging from the blood on the torn clothes, he should have been injured.Su Mu put down the herb basket and walked towards the man carefully.

Nong Ruo pulled La Sumu, his eyes hesitated.She knew that Yunxia and Luo Na had been fighting at Lanqiao since the day before yesterday, and her father asked her to leave Lanqiao at that time, but she did not agree.Just yesterday, it was another bad fight.Nongruo is far away from the battle line, just knowing that all the elephants in the plantation have been dispatched, one can imagine how big the commotion here is.Now that he found such a person, and he was not wearing the clothes of the Luo Na people, Nong Ruo was naturally a little scared.

"Don't be afraid," Su Mu saw the pale hand holding the hem of his clothes, and looked back at Nong Ruo, "Let me take a look, everything will be fine."

Nong Ruo looked into Su Mu's eyes, half of the worries in his heart dissipated.This is what attracts Ruo Ruo, whether it is a serf or a rich man, the eyes of the holy doctor are plain and gentle.Nong Ruo let go of Su Mu's clothes and grabbed Su Mu's fingers instead.

Su Mu thought that Nong Ruo was afraid, so he led Nong Ruo and walked over.On the side of the injured person, Su Mu let go of Nong Ruo's hand, and bent down to check the injury of the person.The miscellaneous wounds on his body and the snake venom that hadn't been cleaned up were still minor wounds. Judging from the smudged blood, the most severe wound was his head.Although this man was only wearing an inner garment, it was worn by people from Yunxia.Su Mu frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

Nong Ruo looked around the man, then looked at the marks of broken branches nearby, pursed his lips, pointed to a place and said to Su Mu: "Holy doctor, this man probably fell from there."

Su Mu looked in the direction of Nong Ruozhi, and broke several branches from top to bottom.Su Mu took off the water bag he was carrying, pinched the man's chin, and poured a little water into his mouth.The water came in very slowly, the man was unconscious with his eyes closed, but he also slowly took in some water.Su Mu only went up to the mountain to gather herbs, and didn't bring anything with him. After collecting the water bag, he thought about how to bring this man back.

"Holy doctor," Nong Ruo looked at Su Mu and said, "This man is from Yunxia..." Seeing Su Mu staring slightly, Nong Ruo naturally knew that he wanted to save someone.At this time of war, rescuing a person from Xiaxia will definitely cause a lot of trouble, but with Su Mu's temperament, he will not let a wounded person to fend for himself here.

Su Mu raised his eyes and looked at Nong Ruo, without saying a word.

"If you take it back clearly and let people see it, it will hurt this person even more." Nong Ruo said.

Su Mu smiled lightly, knowing that Nong Ruo didn't want him to save others, but thought about it for him.

"Bo... Bo Yan..." The wounded after entering the water said a few words softly.

Su Mu suddenly looked at the man with a strange look on his face.

"Holy doctor," Nong Ruo looked at Su Mu and said, "I'll call a chariot to pick him up."

"So, thank you very much." Su Mu said, but he thought of something else in his heart.

Nong Ruo stood up, picked off a leaf, put it on his lips and blew a sound.The clear melody broke through the dense forest and echoed in the valley.

Su Mu took off his coat, wrapped the wounded man and tied it on his back, Nong Ruo carried Su Mu's medicine basket on his back and half supported Su Mu, and walked slowly down the valley.

When they reached the bottom of the valley, a chariot was already waiting there, but the housekeeper Pashu looked around anxiously.

"My master," Pashu ran towards Nong Ruo, examining her carefully, "Where is the injury?"

"I sprained my ankle." Nong Ruo said.

Pashu looked suspiciously at Nong Ruo's freely walking feet, and then looked at the two people behind Nong Ruo, his expression was even more puzzled.

"Remember, Pashu." Standing in front of Pashu, Nong Ruo said seriously, "I followed the holy doctor up the mountain to collect medicine, and accidentally sprained my foot."

"But..." Pashu looked at the wounded man on Su Mu's back who was clearly dressed as a Yunxia person, hesitant to speak, and finally looked at Nong Ruo helplessly, "Understood, Pashu will explain." Pashu said Only then did I understand why the master must ask for a chariot instead of the usual bamboo shoulders.

Su Mu put the injured on the couch in the chariot, and sat on the side with Nong Ruo.

"Master, when we leave this valley, there will be soldiers patrolling." Pashu said.

Nong Ruo looked at Su Mu, then nodded to Pashu.Pashu then sat outside to catch the car.

Nong Ruo and Su Mu looked at the collapsed space and looked at each other.They hid the wounded in that space, which was just right.Nong Ruo took out a roll of cotton gauze and a small bamboo board from one side.Su Mu glanced at it, then reached out to take it.

Nong Ruo lifted up his hem, exposing his ankles, and looked at Su Mu.This is the first time that the holy doctor has taken care of himself.Nong Ruo has always been in good health, and it is a pity that Nong Ruo can't let the holy doctor treat him softly.But this time, even though it was fake, it really satisfied Nong Ruo.Nong Ruo just likes to see Su Mu's low-eyed expression of diagnosis, every moment of concentration, gentleness, and peace makes Nong Ruo's heart flutter.

Su Mu wrapped the cotton gauze around Nong Ruo's ankle, paused, then applied some medicine on the cotton gauze, and tied the bamboo board to it.

The faint smell of herbal medicine wafted across the car, Nong Ruo looked at Su Mu and curled the corners of his mouth.Su Mu looked at Nong Ruo's smiling face, feeling a little helpless.Even pretending to be sick can laugh like this, there should be no one in this world except this girl.

Sure enough, after leaving the valley, soldiers came up to check.Because of the family marks on the chariot and the fact that Pashu had taken care of these soldiers before entering the mountain, the interrogation was a little more relaxed.

The soldier opened the curtain, and a strong herbal smell came out.Miss Nong Ruo, who was pear blossoms and raining, was lying on her side on the couch, her ankles were tightly tied, while Su Mu was sitting on the side looking at the herb basket.

"My lady is injured, please let us go back to treat the injury earlier." Pashu gave the soldier another silver, "I'm willing to buy wine and drink, everyone has worked hard!"

The soldier smiled, took the silver and put down the curtain.The fact that Miss Nongruo loves this doctor has long spread throughout Lanqiao.No, following the little doctor up the mountain to collect herbs is like this.Thinking of Miss Nong Ruo's wealth that rivals the country, and her bright and beautiful appearance, the soldiers felt the little doctor's good life.

In this way, the chariot left Dongda Mountain steadily.

This chariot is naturally going to Zhuangzi in Nong Ruo Zai Lan Bridge.Su Mu knew that the injured person in Xiaoxia would bring trouble to Nong Ruo, but he couldn't bring him back to his bamboo building in broad daylight.He could only stay in the dark and secretly bring people back.

Nong Ruo knew that Su Mu would not leave people at home without worry, but he was also worried that Su Mu would be searched, so he planned to go to Su Mu to watch every day.From that day on, everyone in Lanqiao saw that Miss Nong Ruo went to Dr. Su Mu's clinic every day in a bamboo shoulder car with a foot injury.Everyone understood that since Miss Nongruo and Dr. Su Mu were injured while picking herbs, Dr. Su Mu was moved by Miss Nongruo.
