Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 123 Help!

Seeing Yan Ci Wan defending him like this, Xiao Wang's mouth corners slightly raised.

He knew that what he did was wrong, but people are so contradictory, just like even though they know that drinking is harmful to the body, there are still many people who are addicted to alcohol.

The greatest uniqueness of emotion is that it is not controlled by reason.

After breakfast, the three of them planned to take a walk around the area.

It had been snowing all night and was still falling. It looked like the heavy snow would continue for some time. The grass, trees, and rocks in the courtyard had long been covered with snow, the grass leaves were wrapped in frost, and icicles of varying lengths hung under the eaves, making it look like a white world carved out of ice and snow.

The servants in the villa cleared the snow on the road early in the morning, but in just a short while, the road was covered with a layer of ice and snow again, which made a crackling sound when stepped on.

The three of them left Shaoguang Courtyard and walked eastward along the wind and rain corridor.

Fortunately, although it was snowing heavily at this time, there was not much wind.

On the left side of the corridor is a plum forest. The pale yellow plum blossoms bloom quietly in the ice and snow, exuding a proud, independent and cold temperament.

Yan Ciwan caught a glimpse of two figures in the plum forest, but because they were far away and the plum trees were blocking her view, she couldn't see clearly who those two people were.
Suddenly, one of them screamed.

"Let me go! Help!"

It was a woman's voice, and it sounded very familiar.

Yan Ciwan shouted to the people in Merlin, "Who's there?"

The sound alarmed the people in Merlin. One of them ran away in a hurry, and the remaining one staggered out of Merlin.

When she came closer, Yan Ciwan, Xiao Wang and Chao Lu could see her face clearly. It turned out to be Ling Niang.

Lingniang's eyes were red, but she still tried hard to force a smile.

"Are you here to enjoy the scenery? Sorry to disturb your enjoyment."

Although she had adjusted her clothes, Yan Ciwan could still see that the collar of her clothes had been pulled and one of her earrings was missing.

Yan Ciwan asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Ling Niang shook her head: "I'm fine, thank you."

"Who was that person who just ran away? Was he bullying you?"

Lingniang's face flushed and she hastily denied, "No, no one bullied me."

Yan Ciwan didn't believe it: "Then why did you shout for help just now?"

Ling Niang stammered: "It was just a misunderstanding, nothing happened, I'm fine."

It was obvious that she was trying to protect that person. Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of her, Yan Ci Wan had to give up. He raised his right hand and pointed at her empty left ear, kindly reminding her.

"Your earring is missing. Could it have been left in Merlin?"

Lingniang hurriedly reached out to touch her left ear, but found nothing. Her face turned pale and she turned around and ran back to the plum forest to look for it.

Yan Ci Wan, Xiao Wang and Chao Lu also came to Merlin soon after, and the three of them helped her find the earrings.

The result was nothing.

Yan Ciwan asked: "Could the earrings have been picked up by that person just now?"

Lingniang had also thought of this. She seemed very uneasy, but she tried her best to pretend that nothing had happened and said with a smile.

"It's just an earring, not a valuable thing. If it's lost, it's lost. I'm really sorry for taking so long to help me look for it."

Seeing that she was so timid and cowardly, and would rather suffer injustice than tell the truth, Chaolu couldn't help but think of her own experience, and a feeling of hatred for her not fighting and anger at her misfortune arose spontaneously.

Zhaolu really wanted the other party to tell the truth. It would do no good to conceal it, and it would only make the bad guys more unscrupulous. But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them.

She knew very well that it was difficult to change a person's mind with just a few words, and if she said too much, it might even make the other person annoyed.

Lingniang made the excuse that she had something else to do and hurriedly left Merlin.

Yan Ciwan and the other two continued walking along the wind and rain corridor.

Yan Ciwan noticed that Chaolu was unhappy and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Chaolu sighed: "When I see Lingniang, it's like seeing my past self."

"Do you want to help her?"

Zhaolu smiled bitterly: "If she doesn't want to change, no one can help her."

When they were almost reaching Evian Mountain House, they saw Ah Ping running out in a hurry.

Xiao Wang called out to him and asked what happened.
When Ah Ping saw the three of them, he immediately said, "Du Erlang is sick! He walked in the mountains for half a night in the snow and wind last night, and caught a cold. Now he has a fever all over his body and is very ill. I was just about to report this to the master."

Yan Ciwan asked, "Is there a doctor in the villa?"

Her question hit upon what Aping was most worried about, and he explained with a bitter face.

"Originally, there was a doctor, but because of something that happened in his family, he asked the master for a long vacation and can only return to the villa after the New Year. In this situation, we can only go down the mountain to find a doctor, but it snowed heavily all night yesterday, and the road down the mountain has been frozen, so we can't go down the mountain at all."

"I know a little about medicine. I'll go see Du Er." After Xiao Wang said this, he strode into Evian Mountain House. Yan Ci Wan and Chao Lu followed him quickly.

When Aping heard what Xiao Wang said, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Now he didn't have to worry about finding a doctor.

He hurried towards Ruixue Tower to report what had happened there to the owner.

The three entered the bedroom and saw Du Lingzhou lying on the bed with red cheeks and unconscious.

A young attendant covered Du Lingzhou's forehead with a wet towel, trying to cool him down in this way, but it seemed to be of little use.

Noticing someone coming in, the follower immediately looked towards the door. After seeing who it was clearly, the follower rushed over as if he had found a life-saving straw, knelt down with a thud, and called out excitedly.

"Xiao Liulang, please save my Erlang!"

Xiao Wang said to him, "Huai Yan, you get up first."

The young attendant named Huaiyan stood up. His condition was not very good. His cheeks were abnormally flushed, his lips were chapped, his ears and hands were covered with frostbite, and his voice was very hoarse.

"Erlang is the only one left in our Du family. If anything happens to him, the old lady will definitely not be able to bear the blow. Xiao Liulang, please save our Erlang for the sake of our old friendship!"

As he said this he began to sob.

Xiao Wang walked to the bedside and saw that Du Lingzhou had his eyes closed, his brows furrowed, and he was still mumbling something under his breath. It seemed that he was having a nightmare.

He reached out and touched Du Lingzhou's forehead, which was terribly hot.

Xiao Wang became a doctor due to his long-term illness. He was familiar with some basic medical principles, but he was still far behind people like Liu and Chaolu who had studied medicine for many years.

He said to Chaolu, "Can you please show it to Du Er?"

Zhaolu was still very wary of adult men, but now that human lives were at stake, she had to suppress her rejection and nodded in response, "I can try."

She took out the needle bag she carried with her. The difference from Xiao Wang's was that her needle bag was filled with silver needles for acupuncture.

When she was giving Du Lingzhou acupuncture, Du Lingzhou suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed Chaolu's wrist and shouted, as if he had dreamed about something.

"Xiao Liu, I'm going to kill you!"
