Chapter 216 Leaving the Capital
Chapter 216 Leaving the Capital
Summer rain comes quickly and goes away quickly.
On the official road outside Beijing, the night was dark and the moonlight shone on the winding path, reflecting the figures of a man and a woman, two people running fast.
An hour later, Jun Jiuchen and Song Wan caught up with Huo Du.
Then, until daybreak, the group stopped to rest for two quarters of an hour, quickly ate some dry food, closed their eyes to rest, and then set off again to continue their journey to Jingyang County.
Song Wan finally followed Jun Jiuchen after she told him that she could make something called Qingxin Pills, which might be useful in resisting miasma.
It was then that she realized that Jun Jiuchen had already sent people out of the city.
Although she could ride a horse, Jiang Wanqiao's body was a little fragile. After a day, her legs were so sore that they were almost numb, and her tender white palms were rubbed by the reins and bleeding.
More importantly, her physical strength was exhausted as time went by, and she almost fell off her horse at one point.
But thinking of his father's situation, Song Wan gritted his teeth and persevered silently.
At this moment, time is life.
Jun Jiuchen saw everything and endured it again and again. When he stopped to rest for the second time, Song Wan showed no intention of asking him for help. Finally, he took the initiative to compromise and walked towards her who was leaning against a big tree and unconsciously chewing dry food.
He looked at the woman whose hair was already messy due to the bumpy ride, and without saying a word, he carried her onto his horse, then jumped on it and held her in front of him.
Song Wan naturally understood that he wanted to take her on horseback.
She didn't care about the difference between men and women, but she was a little worried that riding together would slow down the speed, so she tried to refuse.
Jun Jiuchen just said in a muffled voice with a bad temper.
"You can talk again when you can stand firmly."
Then, he tightened the reins, and the black horse under him galloped out.
As it turned out, Song Wan's worries were unnecessary.
Even though there were two people riding on Jun Jiuchen's horse, it did not affect its forward speed.
Song Wan finally felt relieved upon seeing this and leaned in his arms with peace of mind. However, when the people from the Five Elements Department saw this scene, they couldn't help but cast inquiring glances at him.
after all……
This was the first time they saw their coach being so intimate with a woman.
……
Early in the morning of the third day, the group finally arrived in Jingyang County safely.
Although the people in the Five Elements Department all come from the military, they are not invincible.
In addition, since they were about to enter a place like the miasma forest, Jun Jiuchen brought his people to the official inn. After taking them to have the only proper meal in two days, he let them go back and rest for an hour.
One hour was also the shortest time given by Song Wan to make Qingxin Pills.
Because Jun Jiuchen had already sent a carrier pigeon to deliver a message, asking someone to prepare all the medicinal materials and the doctor to help.
An hour later, everyone in the Five Elements Department received a small bottle of pills and set off smoothly.
Song Wan did not object to Jun Jiuchen's decision not to let him follow.
Although she was also very anxious, she also knew that the miasma forest was dangerous. She had already done everything she could. If she insisted on going with them, she would only be a burden to them.
After watching the group leave, Song Wan stayed in the room of the inn in a state of anxiety. After being in a daze for a long time, he limped to the bathroom to treat his injuries.
Although she later rode on the same horse with Jun Jiuchen, the inside of her legs were still inevitably rubbed with layers of blisters, which stuck to her white pants. When she took them off, they stuck to her skin and flesh, causing Song Wan to shudder with pain.
At this moment, a female doctor happened to come to Song Wan.
It was said that a handsome official was arranged to come and treat her injuries.
Song Wan was surprised for a moment, then nodded, lay back on the bed, and let the doctor treat her wounds.
A handsome official?
It’s probably Jun Jiuchen.
Although they stayed at the government inn this time, they did not reveal their identities.
After Jun Jiuchen and his group left, there was no news for a whole day and a night.
The female doctor that Jun Jiuchen had found could only sigh when she learned that Song Wan and his group came to the miasma forest to rescue people.
"Young lady, you don't know that it's midsummer now, the time when wild beasts in the miasmic forest are raging. In the past, there were daring escort agencies that tried to profit from the situation by sending teams in to hunt wild beasts, but in the end... almost no one survived."
"Plus, since then, fewer and fewer people have dared to go in, and the miasma inside has become increasingly severe. I'm afraid it will become increasingly difficult to move forward."
"I'm afraid it's not a good idea for you, my lords, to go and rescue people..."
During these two days, Song Wan had roughly realized that this female doctor was a straightforward person. Although her words were unpleasant, she had no malicious intent, so he did not blame her.
But hearing such words at this moment is indeed unpleasant.
He said that everything was fine, paid her some money and let her go.
The female doctor just shook her head and turned away as she was told.
Song Wanze sat on the bed in a daze, and began to regret that he was too sensible and did not follow... Otherwise, he would not be in such a dilemma now.
But right now.
Apart from continuing to believe in Jun Jiuchen, she seemed to have no other choice.
Fortunately, just after noon on the third day, she finally saw Suifeng.
and.
What the wind brought was still good news.
They found their father.
But according to Suifeng, his father is seriously injured and cannot be moved for the time being, so Jun Jiuchen asked him to come and pick her up.
When Song Wan heard the news, she was filled with mixed feelings of sadness and joy. After carefully inquiring about Suifeng's father's condition, she prepared the herbs with trembling hands and set off with Suifeng.
