Gu Yanfei raised his eyebrows and remembered that the Changfang had a Zhuangzi nearby, so he suggested: "Jiaoniang, I think the snow will fall for at least a few more hours, and there is a Zhuangzi two miles away from my house, let's go and hide there first Let's snow."

When the girls heard the words, they couldn't help but cheer up and responded one after another.

Although they were all wearing cloaks and hoods to keep out the snow, but now the wind and snow are too heavy, everyone's face, body, and hands are somewhat stained with snowflakes, and their bangs are also messed up by the wind. Embarrassed.

Everyone immediately changed their course and took the road on the left. The horseshoes stepped on the soft snow and left clear horseshoe prints.

Suddenly, Gu Yanfei, who was leading the way at the front, stopped his horse without warning, looked at the weeds on the side of the road, and at the same time raised his hand to make a "stop" gesture.

Therefore, Wei Jiaoniang, Lu Qin and others also reined in their horses and stopped.

On the side of the road a few feet ahead, lay a rust-colored figure, slightly bloated, covered with a layer of snow, motionless.

"There's someone there!"

Lu Qin was the first to point to that side and shout out.

The girls were in an uproar, and hurried forward, and surrounded the man on the ground.

The accompanying maids got off their horses to check, and two of them worked together to turn the person lying on the ground over, and gently patted the snow off her face, body, and head.

It was an old woman in her fifties, wearing a rust-colored dark pattern padded jacket, her pale face was slightly blue from the cold, wrinkled, and her eyes were closed tightly.

There was a pool of dazzling blood between the gray hair.

"It's an old man." A servant girl reported suspiciously, her face turned pale, and one of her palms was stained with the old woman's blood, "He passed out, and his head still hurts."

Gu Yanfei got off the horse and carefully inspected the wound on the old woman's head. There was a sticky feeling of blood in the tentacles. The back of the old woman's head was slightly swollen, and there was a wound the size of a baby's fist, and blood was gurgling out.

The other girls chattered in unison:

"Why did this old lady fall here alone? Could it be that she met a robber on the road?"

"Certainly not. You see, the silver hairpin on her head is still there. If this is a robber, why don't you loot her completely?"

"That's true."

"..."

Several people talked lively, Wei Jiaoniang and Lu Qin looked at each other quietly, with thoughtful eyes.

This old woman's clothes are half new and not old, clean and not patched, she doesn't look like a poor person, but definitely not a rich person.

Look at the silver hairpin in her bun, the silver ring on her finger, and the clean and tidy handkerchief exposed on one cuff, she doesn't look like those old ladies from small families, but more like a big family Other people's servants.

The two exchanged a look, Lu Qin leaned over, glanced at the old woman's wound, and asserted: "The injury is quite serious..."

This is clearly to kill her!

It's cold and snowing now, if they let it go, it's conceivable that if the old woman lay here for one night, she would be dead to death.

"Take her to Zhuangzi first." Gu Yanfei stood up and wiped the blood from his hands with a handkerchief.

"Then let her ride with me." Wei Jiaoniang couldn't wait to introduce herself, patted her chest confidently and said, "I'm good at riding, so it's okay to bring one more person."

Receiving Wei Jiaoniang's gaze, Gu Yanfei smiled, and ordered Juanbi to carry him onto the horse.

Juan Bi was always quick in his work, and he easily carried the old woman from the ground onto Wei Jiaoniang's horse by himself.

Everyone quickly got on their horses again and continued on the road against the cold wind and heavy snow.

Along the way, hurrying quickly, they finally arrived at their destination before the sky completely darkened.

"That's it!"

Gu Yanfei pointed at Zhuang Zidao in front of him from a distance, his little face hidden in the hood was full of nostalgia.

In her previous life, she had been to this Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing.

She originally thought that she could bring her eldest brother to live here after the family was separated, so she came here to arrange it herself.

At that time, the eldest brother was unable to walk because of his leg injury, so she removed all the thresholds in the village, and added slopes where there were stone steps to facilitate the passage of wheelchairs.

She arranged study rooms and handicraft workshops for her eldest brother and herself. My eldest brother is so skillful with his hands that he can even make wheelchairs.

She also had people bring hot spring water here to build a hot spring pool; she also dug a pond beside the field behind Zhuangzi, planning to plant lotus, not only for viewing lotus, but also for eating lotus seeds and digging lotus roots...

This Zhuangzi is very large and open, with fields, rivers, and mountains, enough to be self-sufficient.

After two hundred years, when she was in this familiar yet unfamiliar environment, her memories flooded back quickly.

She planned well, but it turned out...

Heaven fails to fulfill one's wishes.

The girls reined in the horses in front of Zhuangzi, and the horses neighed endlessly with white gas.

Juanbi was the first to dismount and went to call the door.

When the steward of the Zhuangzi heard that the visitor was his own girl, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly brought someone to greet him, and the gate of the Zhuangzi was wide open.

This area is remote, and no one comes here on weekdays. Today, so many delicate guests came all of a sudden, which shocked the whole Zhuangzi.

Gu Yanfei ordered Zhuangzi's steward to send people to report to various prefectures in the capital, so as not to worry Wei Jiaoniang and her family.

Immediately, she asked people to move the old woman to the east wing.

Lu Qin and other girls were invited by the people in the village to sit in the hall, and the accompanying maids also went to help boil water and serve.

Only Wei Jiaoniang followed Gu Yanfei to the inner room of the east wing, and the unconscious old woman was moved to a couch by several servants.

When he found the old woman on the road just now, Gu Yanfei only checked the injury roughly, now that he had a place to settle down, he carefully took the pulse of the old woman, and asked Juan Bi to check the other's limbs and torso.

The other parts of the old woman's body were not injured, only the back of the head was hit by a hard object, which was a fatal wound.

At this moment, the wound on the scalp was no longer bleeding, and there was even a little sign of healing.

"Not bad." Gu Yanfei curled the corners of her lips and looked at Wei Jiaoniang.

Wei Jiaoniang raised her chin triumphantly, and winked at Gu Yanfei for a while.

After Gu Yanfei taught her the healing talisman, Wei Jiaoniang had long wanted to find a chance to try it out, but she couldn't scratch herself to heal it... This is too stupid.

Just now when she was taking the old woman on the road together, she kept drawing the healing talisman, over and over again, over and over again.

Even if it can only succeed once in ten times, the effect is quite good, and the bleeding has stopped.

Gu Yanfei looked at her and smiled, and the two exchanged a tacit little secret.

She is amazing! Wei Jiaoniang was so happy that her tail was going up.

As long as the bleeding stops, the wound is not a big problem. Gu Yanfei ordered: "Juan Bi, go get someone to get some cold boiled water to clean the wound, and get some clean white cloth over here."

Juan Bi went, and after a while, she brought a handsome daughter-in-law in her thirties, one with coarse cloth and scissors, and the other with a water basin.

The daughter-in-law approached the bed with a water basin, and when she saw the person on the bed, she suddenly froze, and blurted out: "It's Nanny Pang!"

"You recognize her?" Gu Yanfei slightly raised his eyebrows.

"I know." The daughter-in-law put the water basin on the bedside table, and kept looking at Nanny Pang. After a while, she came back to her senses, nodded and said, "Miss, Nanny Pang is the nurse of the late wife. .”

This Zhuangzi is Xie's dowry, and the people inside are all companions brought by Xie, so naturally they all recognize Xie's nurse.

The daughter-in-law hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Nurse Pang made a mistake a few years ago and was kicked out of the Hou Mansion, saying that... she treated the third girl slowly."

Thinking of Gu Yunxie's identity, her expression was a little embarrassing.

"..." Gu Yanfei blinked and was slightly taken aback.

Mother's nurse?

Having said that, she has a bit of a vague impression.

In her previous life, around the Spring Festival, a person who claimed to be her mother's nurse came to the Hou Mansion to pay her respects, but by the time she knew it, it was already too late and he had already been sent away.

By the way, the servants called her Nanny Pang at that time.

But later, she never heard from Nanny Pang again.

Counting the days, in her previous life, Nanny Pang's visit to the Hou's Mansion seemed to happen only in the past few days.

Gu Yanfei's dark eyes were so deep that he couldn't see the bottom, he fixedly stared at the sleepy Nanny Pang, feeling a little complicated in his heart, he couldn't tell whether it was regret or embarrassment.

After sitting quietly for a while, she asked the daughter-in-law to cook some ginger soup for Lu Qin and the others.

The daughter-in-law responded again and again, and after saluting somewhat restrainedly, she hurriedly retreated.

Juanbi cleaned the area around Nanny Pang's wound with cold boiled water as instructed by taking care of Yan Fei, then applied some gold sore medicine, and finally wrapped it up with a white cloth.

"Juanbi, you need to find someone to take care of her first, she..." Gu Yanfei glanced at the leak, "She will wake up in about a minute."

After saying this, she affectionately took Wei Jiaoniang's arm and went to the hall in the front yard.

At this time, Gu Yanfei's mood had returned to normal, with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.

The heavy snow outside was fluttering, and as far as the eye could see, it was all white, and the snow was getting thicker.

Lu Qin and the other girls had already drank the ginger soup, and they looked comfortable, talking and laughing.

With a shelter from the wind and snow, they all feel at ease, drink tea, eat snacks, and the worst situation is to spend the night in this village.

Seeing Gu Yanfei and Wei Jiaoniang coming hand in hand, the girls put down their glasses and asked a few questions with concern:

"How is the old lady's injury?"

"Have you invited the doctor?"

Wei Jiaoniang tugged at Gu Yanfei's sleeve, and replied evasively: "She's fine, this time we save someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."

The next sentence changed the subject: "I'm hungry, what's there to eat?"

The girls were relieved when they heard that the injured were fine, Lu Qin took the lead and said, "This plum cake is not bad, it's soft and delicious!"

"And the pine nuts are also very sweet."

"..."

The girls were chatting and laughing, the hall was so lively that even the whistling wind and snow outside the hall was suppressed.

The snow finally showed signs of getting smaller.

Carriages from various prefectures arrived at Zhuangzi one after another, but no one came from Dingyuanhou's mansion.
