Chapter 969 Mutation
"No hurry, no rush," Yang Ruoqing shook her head.
Anyway, it has been freezing for more than two days, so I don’t care about this moment.
"Mom, you haven't said what's wrong with your arm yet!" she asked again.
Sun Shi glanced at her arm and smiled.
"Oh, it's nothing. A few days ago, it snowed lightly here."
"I went to the river to wash clothes, and accidentally slipped and broke my arm..." Sun said.
"Seriously?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Mrs. Sun smiled and nodded: "Why would Mom lie to you? If you don't believe me? Ask your dad!"
Yang Ruoqing's inquiring gaze turned to Yang Huazhong beside her.
Yang Huazhong grinned: "Hey, not only did I break my arm, but half of my body was in the water. I had a high fever after I got it back."
"Uncle Fu is already in trouble, so we should go to the town hospital and ask for a doctor."
"That's why Da Anxu wrote to you..." the man said.
Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing's heart dropped.
As long as your life is not in danger!
Then, there was more heartache.
"Mom, how do you feel now?" she asked again.
Mrs. Sun smiled lovingly: "Mom is fine. Didn't you see that I can sit up and eat? It's just this arm that will take a lot of time..."
"It's been a hundred days of hard work. Let Xiaohua and Xiaoduo do the housework at home for the time being."
"If they can't do it, please bother my aunt to come over and help." Yang Ruoqing warned.
Xiao Hua Xiao Duo was the two little girls who were rescued along with Xiao Ping from Pang Pang, the good man's secret room.
They were both over eight years old, and their parents died young.
Yang Ruoqing asked them in private whether they wanted to stay in the third room of the Yang family as a maid.
This is Yang Ruoqing's plan. She has to do business outside all year round, and she can't spare any time for housework at home.
It's too tiring to bear all the burden on Mrs. Sun alone.
Leave the little flowers alone and train them slowly. In a few years, when Sun is older, the two of them will be able to bear the burden.
Mrs. Sun smiled and nodded: "Xiaohua Xiaoduo is very good. It's just the two of them who cooked it."
"Your eldest aunt has been busy getting pigs out of the slaughter these days and has no time to spare, so it's the eighth sister who comes over to help me with spinning and weaving."
"Bamei's kid is also very diligent. Qing'er, you are in the south. Take good care of yourself and don't worry about home."
I’ve talked so much to Mr. Sun, and I’ve asked all the questions that need to be asked.
Yang Ruoqing just sat down at the table under the repeated urging of Sun and Yang Huazhong.
Yang Huazhong went to the backyard and asked Xiaohua Xiaoduo to come back and heat up the vegetables.
Luo Fengtang brewed a bowl of hot tea and brought it to Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, drink some hot tea to warm your hands."
Yang Ruoqing glanced at him. Wasn't he half frozen to death?
She took a sip herself and put the tea bowl into his hand: "You drink too!"
After eating hot meals and dishes, I feel that most of my strength has returned.
"Qing'er, then I'll go home first and come back tomorrow morning." Luo Fengtang stood up and said goodbye.
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Have a good rest."
After taking a bath and scalding her feet with hot water, Yang Ruoqing slept in the same bed with Mrs. Sun tonight and drove Yang Huazhong to sleep in the next room.
The north wind was howling outside the house, coming in and out.
The mother and daughter lay in the warm and soft quilt and talked for most of the night.
They told each other about their respective affairs in the past few months.
Sun also asked a lot about Bao Suyun, Mianmian and the others. In the middle of the night, Yang Ruoqing finally fell asleep because she couldn't bear it anymore.
Because Sun's right arm was injured, Yang Ruoqing was afraid of squeezing her arm, so the mother and daughter slept at the head of the bed and the other at the end.
In the dream, Yang Ruoqing felt so warm.
Especially on the feet.
I have been traveling for the past two days, and the shoes on my feet have become wet, wet, and then dry again.
Over and over again, with a pair of feet inside, it is simply hell for the feet.
Tonight, her feet were comfortable and warm, allowing her to sleep soundly.
When she woke up at dawn, she realized that that night, Mrs. Sun had been holding her feet in her arms with her uninjured arm.
I saw my mother asleep, still holding her smelly feet, as if she was holding a baby.
Yang Ruoqing's eyes were moist.
Traveling day and night to get back, no matter how hard it is, it is worth it.
…
Now that she has come all the way back, Yang Ruoqing plans to spend two days with Sun at home.
Look at the day, it's gray and the north wind is howling from morning to night.
Every household is hiding at home for the winter.
The men played cards, drank, and chatted.
The women were busy spinning and weaving, collecting shoes and tailoring clothes.
The Chinese New Year is just over a month away, so I have to make some new clothes for the adults and children in the family.
The north wind is raging outside, and a snowstorm is imminent.
However, the urgent letter from the military camp also reached Luo Fengtang's hands at this time.
"We are so anxious to call you back. What happened over there?" Yang Ruoqing asked Luo Fengtang.
Luo Fengtang frowned and said in a deep voice: "The Black Lotus Sect raided the military camp. General Xiahou and the others broke camp and retreated fifty miles outside Xiushui Town."
"Xiushui Town is occupied by the Black Lotus Sect."
"ah?"
Yang Ruoqing's expression changed.
The Black Lotus Sect is a cult. If they occupy Xiushui Town, wouldn't the town be devastated?
Five uncles and five aunts, Xiaoyu, Dabao, Mianmian...
"Now the Black Lotus Sect is besieging Licheng, and Licheng is in urgent need."
Luo Fengtang continued.
"General Xiahou ordered me to go back immediately and lead my troops to rescue Licheng. I must leave immediately!"
"Okay, let's go together!" Yang Ruoqing stood up immediately.
Luo Fengtang shook his head: "No, you just got home last night and your feet are soaked. You have to rest. What's more, now that Xiushui Town has fallen, you can't go back!"
Yang Ruoqing said: "A country has a home, and Xiushui Town also has my relatives and friends. I must go back."
"But……"
"It's not that much, but you wait for me at the door. I'll go tell my parents and we'll leave!"
…
As soon as the two people went out, the snow started to fall.
It started with strong winds, mixed with fine snowflakes.
The kind that melts quickly when it falls on the ground and clothes.
But when we walked out of the village and headed towards the woods, the snow became heavier.
What started out as reed catkins turned into goose feathers and heavy snow.
The ground quickly turned white.
On the two people, one layer was brushed off and another layer fell.
"Come on Qing'er, put this on!"
Luo Fengtang stopped and put the deerskin hat on his head on top of the cotton hat on her head.
"You gave me your hat, what do you do with yourself?" she asked.
"It's okay, let's go!"
He said, stretched out his hand again, picked her up and walked forward.
It's so quiet in the mountains and wilderness.
There was only the rustling sound of falling snow falling on my body.
The further we walked, the snow became heavier and heavier, the sky became darker and darker, and the road became more and more difficult to walk.
"The snow is getting heavier and heavier. Let's find a place to take shelter first." Luo Fengtang suggested.
