Ling Yun had just run two steps, but before several burly men caught up, he felt dizzy and fell to the ground all of a sudden.
Several big men who were trying to pounce were stunned for a moment. One of them walked forward, looked carefully, and stood up and said, "There is an injury on his back."
The white-haired Gao Qianxue turned around and asked anxiously: "Young Master Yi will not be in trouble, right?"
"It's not a fatal injury, but it has not been bandaged. I've been soaking in the river for so long and blowing for so long, but it has been aggravated a lot. I need to treat it immediately, otherwise I will be in danger of my life."
"What are you waiting for? Take it back to the village for treatment immediately." Gao Qianxue said immediately.
Samurai Gao Ding frowned and reported: "Miss, what he had on his back was a knife and arrow wound, a new wound, and..." He hesitated for a while, and to be honest, and in my experience, it was an ordinary arrow wound, which was an arrow shot from a strong bow, and it was definitely not the bow and arrow of ordinary bandits, but the bow and arrow used in the army."
As soon as this was said, Gao Qianxue and Gao Mingyue changed their faces slightly. They understood the meaning of the words in the army. After the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the emperor issued an edict that he would not allow privately to hold big swords, spears, strong bows, crossbows and armor, and those who violated the nine tribes. The hunting bows used by ordinary hunters are soft bows, and arrows are also ordinary things. Even some bandits and strong men are extremely difficult to possess the standard bows and arrows in the army. The arrow wounds on Yi Feng's body were injured by bows and arrows, so his identity was a bit difficult.
"Miss, this person was injured not long ago. If he was not properly injured, the official army would be still nearby. This person would be a trouble. I suggest leaving here immediately and not rushing to this muddy water."
"No!" Gao Qianxue shook her head. She couldn't do such a thing.
Gao Mingyue struggled a little, reason told her that Yi Feng was a trouble and would be annoying. But she also saw her sister's attitude. She knew very well that her sister was definitely not like falling into the river today. After being rescued by Yi Feng, Qianxue's mentality changed greatly, which was obviously related to Yi Feng. Otherwise, she would not have been forced to marry into Qianxue before, and it could be seen that Qianxue did not completely refuse this matter. She was in a dilemma, "Sister, taking him back may cause trouble, be implicated by him, and expose our identities."
"Take him with you and leave immediately, Gao Ding, you are responsible for cleaning and don't leave any traces." Gao Qianxue made the decision without any doubt.
......
Ling Yun opened his eyes and woke up. It was an ancient room. The one under him was not a bed. The room was covered with wooden floors and straw mats, which looked like tatami. His head was aching, and there was no modern atmosphere in the room. He looked down at himself. He looked at him with a set of white close-fitting clothes, a tie-fitting style, which was completely ancient costume.
He closed his eyes and pinched himself, which hurt. Then he immediately remembered his previous memories, and it seemed that this was not a dream.
He lifted the quilt and sat up. There was no bed or table or chair in the room. There was a small table next to it, with a set of folded clothes and a white robe. He roughly saw that it seemed to be a deep clothes in Hanfu. There was also a bronze mirror on the table. The images in the mirror made him sigh. As he saw when he was on the riverside, he was no longer a familiar self.
A white cloth was wrapped around his shoulders, revealing the smell of the Chinese medicine village. He reached out and touched it, and there was a faint pain in the bandage.
When he pushed open the door, a dazzling white light shone in. Ling Yun subconsciously reached out to block his hand. When he adapted to the light outside, he found himself in a villa full of ancient charm. He had courtyards, green bricks, green tiles and wooden buildings, rockery, ponds, corridors, and pavilions. However, there were still no traces of modernity, no wires, no street lights, no cement, and only ancient colors.
He took a breath and stretched out one foot and stepped out of the door.
"Young Master Yi, you are awake!" A familiar voice sounded. Ling Yun discovered that the little girl who was brave and straightforward at the riverside last time said that he hugged and kissed their ladies was standing in front of him with a tray, with a bowl of steaming medicine bowls on it, emitting a special smell of Chinese medicine.
The little girl looked at Ling Yun with a hint of embarrassment, "Young Master Yi, why are you out? You have just suffered such a serious injury and suffered from wind and cold. You have just woken up. How can you blow the wind? Go back and lie down." As she said that, she stared at Ling Yun's open chest muscles and looked at him a few times. Then she went into the house and put down the medicine bowl first, turned around and came out to help him into the house.
The little girl looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, petite and cute, and a little bold and straightforward. She put one of his arms on her shoulders and held his waist with the other hand. Her head just reached his chest. A pair of buns on her head stood like two sheep horns. Ling Yun couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pulled it a few times. The little girl screamed in pain, making him sure that the hair was indeed real. This discovery made him feel a little lost and a little excited.
"May I have your name?"
"Mulan!" The little girl's face turned a little red after she helped Ling Yun back to the mat. She didn't know whether it was because she was struggling to support her, or because she had peeked at Ling Yun's half-naked and strong figure, or because Ling Yun pulled his hair and the unscrupulous gaze of her. When she answered, her tone increased a little, and she even stared at him with wide eyes.
Mulan served him in the room and finished the medicine, then talked to him and left, just to tell the lady that he had woken up.
The room was quiet again, and Ling Yun lay down and was a little lost in his mind.
With a long sigh, Ling Yun finally had some understanding of his situation now, and he was no longer confused and confused.
This is no longer the familiar world, just like he is no longer the self he used to be.
This is the Great Sui Dynasty, more than 1,400 years ago. The Great Sui Empire, which ended the Western Jin Dynasty and Southern and Northern Dynasties, reunified China for nearly 400 years. The Great Sui Empire, which was civilized and powerful on one side, but died in two lifetimes, only had 38 years of national power.
Now, it is the 18th year of Kaihuang in the Great Sui Dynasty, and the 18th year of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, usurped Zhou and established Sui Dynasty.
Twenty-two years ago, the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Qi, eighteen years ago, Yang Jian usurped Zhou and established Sui Dynasty, eleven years ago, the Sui Dynasty merged with Western Liang, and nine years ago, the Sui Dynasty pacified the Southern Chen.
The place he stays now is Gaojiazhuang not far from Jiangdu City, Yangzhou, Jiangnan. The owner of Gaojiazhuang was the beautiful white-haired woman he rescued that day. She had a very nice name, Gao Qianxue. He could also hear from the little girl's mouth that Gao Qianxue's skin has been white since she was a child, and even her hair turned white as soon as she set off. The arrogant Gao Mingyue is not Gao Qianxue's own sister, but she heard that Gao Qianxue's distant cousin. The Gao family used to live in Hebei north of the Yellow River, and later escaped from the war and moved to Jiangnan. However, it was said that Gao Qianxue's parents died in the war when they went south. Their sisters were all taken by their hometowns to escape to the south, and finally bought a piece of land in Yangzhou.
However, Ling Yun always felt that this little girl's words were not true. Just the scene he saw on the river that day, Gao Qianxue's family had such a large house and those strong servants. How could it be so simple? Ordinary manor landlords could not have such a tough servant, and they could all ride horses with swords and horses.
While he was thinking about it, the door of the room was knocked. Gao Mingyue walked in with two mothers and a few maids. The maids were holding more trays in their hands, covered with red cloth.
"Yi Feng, you finally woke up." Gao Mingyue looked at Ling Yun with a smile on her face, but this smile made Ling Yun feel a little malicious, like a weasel wishing the chicken a New Year.
Thinking of the day when she forced him to join the family and refused to kill someone and throw away the body, Ling Yun couldn't laugh and nodded vigilantly: "Thank you for helping me, Miss Gao, I'm so grateful."
"It's a family soon, so there's no need to be so polite. Just wake up. Mulan, go and ask Dr. Qian to come over to diagnose and diagnose it. There can't be any recurrence. If you faint again during the ceremony, it's going to be a joke." Gao Mingyue said proudly to Mulan on the side, and her eyes seemed to be saying to Ling Yun: "Don't you rather die than obey, and you'll jump into the river. This time you'll run away, see where you run."
"Chorus, what kind of church?"
"Of course it's a big happy event between you and your sister, brother-in-law. The village is ready. Uncle Gao has specially gone to Jiangdu City to ask someone to calculate. Tomorrow is the auspicious day, which is the most suitable for marriage. Look, I have brought everything you want to use for tomorrow's happy event. You are ready to prepare. As soon as tomorrow's auspicious time comes, I will marry my sister to the bridal chamber."
Damn, Ling Yun couldn't help but curse in his heart, it was really endless. "Who promised to marry your sister!"
"Wrong!" Gao Mingyue immediately corrected: "It's not that you marry my sister, but that you marry into our Gaojiazhuang. There are big differences here."
"Whoever promised to marry into Gaojiazhuang will marry into him, I didn't agree!" A man was forced to marry into his wife, and there was no such thing happening anywhere. Although Gao Qianxue is very beautiful, no one is willing to buy and sell for forced purchases.
"You have to agree, and you have to agree if you don't agree. You have to treat my sister like that, and you have ruined her reputation and want to pay a debt? What's more, my sister has taken all your love for me. Do you want to regret it at this time?"
"What kind of love?"
"Your jade pendant!" Gao Mingyue said proudly. "Yi Feng, don't be good at getting cheap or being good. My sister's fairy-like figure is willing to like you. You have been blessed with the blessing you have cultivated in several lifetimes. Don't be unsatisfied. Have a good rest, don't miss tomorrow's good day!" After saying that, she carried the corner of her skirt and walked out with the group of mothers and maids who put down the tray of weddings.
As soon as I left the door, the door immediately slammed and even locked!
