Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid

Chapter 29
For several days in a row, I had a high fever and woke up and fell asleep from time to time.In the dream, there are always countless evil spirits biting Jinxiu, and she stretched out her hand to me and cried, but I was surrounded by all evil spirits, unable to go to rescue her.My chest hurt like someone was snapping my ribs.I kept crying and calling Jinxiu's name, and Yuan Feibai's anxious and frightened face appeared in front of my eyes from time to time.

I had a lot of weird dreams. Sometimes I dreamed that Song Minglei was kneeling on the ground with blood on the corner of his mouth, and Yuan Feibai sat high in front of him with an angry face. He asked coldly: "What did you say to her?" What? Do you want to torture her to death?"

Song Minglei arrogantly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sneered at him: "Third Master's words are wrong, you are the one who really tormented her! Have you forgotten how you promised us Xiao Wuyi back then?"

Sometimes I dreamed that Jinxiu stood beside my bed with tears all over her face, looking at me in pain, and behind her stood the man in white who wanted to kill me.I wanted to remind her aloud, but I couldn't. I only heard the man in white say to her coldly: "She is dying, now you can do what you want."

Then I fell into a coma again.A few days later, I regained consciousness amidst the melodious and sad sound of the piano, and the voices of Suhui and Xie Sanniang came from my ears.

"Mother, will the wooden girl die?" Su Hui's voice was a bit bitter.

"Damn boy, don't talk nonsense, if the third master hears it, he will be in a hurry again." Sanniang's voice was a little sad, "It's really pitiful, she is only 15 years old."

"But Mr. Zhao said that if Muyatou can't wake up today, she won't be able to wake up again in the future." Suhui said, suddenly sobbing, "Mother, Muyatou is a good person, can you please stop?" Let her die?"

"Stupid child, even Mr. Zhao said that, what can mother do? Mother also likes Muyatou. Since Muyatou came to our garden, the third master is much happier than before. Mother also wants her to wake up... ...Hey, you'd better go back to the third master and tell the third master to stop playing, don't you have to put on the clothes for Miss Mu first, and prepare her to go on the road." Xie Sanniang couldn't help choking up her voice as she spoke.

Su Hui burst into tears, and then with the sound of pushing the door, his crying became weaker.I tried to open my eyes and saw that I was lying in my room, and there was no one in the room.It is estimated that Suhui went to report my death to Yuan Feibai first, and Xie Sanniang must have prepared a shroud for me.

I tried to sit up, but the old pain in my ribs made me break out in a cold sweat.I thought of what Suhui said just now, and thought: Mr. Zhao said that if I don’t wake up today, I will never wake up, so is there hope for me to come back to life or is it just a flashback?

I sneered, if it was a flashback, then I would have to kill Liu Yansheng first.I gritted my teeth and got out of bed, fell heavily on the ground, stood up with sweat profusely leaning on the stool, took the reward on the dressing table, and moved outside.

Suddenly there was lightning and thunder outside, and it began to rain heavily. It can be seen that God does not approve of my revenge at this time.However, thinking of Jinxiu's tears of despair and sorrow, I frantically moved towards the direction of Ziyuan, but unfortunately, I just moved a few steps away when Suhui's exclamation came from behind, "Third Lord, Mu girl, she, she, she ..."

I ignored his cry and just kept walking forward.I really hate how bad my Qinggong is.

The figure in front of me flickered, and Wei Hu was already blocking my eyes.He knelt down on one leg in the rain, and said in a deep voice: "The girl has not recovered from her serious injury, please take care of her body and go back quickly."

I walked around him silently and staggered forward, ignoring him holding an umbrella for me behind me and shouting anxiously beside me.I walked a few more steps with difficulty, only thinking of killing Liu Yansheng and avenging Jinxiu.

A figure floated over, I raised my head, and it turned out to be Yuan Feibai who was leaning on a walking stick, his whole body was wet.I haven't seen him for a few days, his stunning face is haggard, and the rain is dripping down his chin full of tiny beards.He looked at me with surprise and pain, "You, you finally woke up, where are you going?"

I wanted to go around him, but at this moment all my strength was exhausted, and as soon as I let go, my hand fell to the ground.I suddenly fell into Yuan Feibai's arms, even crushing Yuan Feibai to the ground.Wei Hu above has already covered the big oil umbrella.Yuan Feibai hugged me tightly and asked tremblingly, "Where are you going, Mujin?"

I looked at the umbrella and remembered the scene when Qiao Wan opened Jinxiu's umbrella and left Guantaoju. Looking back, I realized that I had only walked a few tens of meters.

Jinxiu, my poor sister, I can only blame your sister for being so useless, unable to protect you when she was in good health, but now that she is sick like this, how can I protect you!

I couldn't help hugging Yuan Feibai tightly, and burst into tears in despair, and then I lost consciousness uselessly.

The next day, when I woke up, Zhao Menglin came to take my pulse, and said that it would be fine after a few days of rest, and what I said before, such as strengthening the body, cultivating the body, never eating spicy things, avoiding anger some type of.

My illness can be regarded as making Xifengyuan a mess.I thought over and over in my heart how to avenge Jinxiu, no matter who spoke to me, I just ignored them all the time, even Song Minglei and Biying came to see me, I ignored them, they could only feel sad back.I heard that Jinxiu has been in Xi'an, but she never showed up again.

It wasn't for nothing that I didn't want to answer, and he didn't force me. He just stayed by my side every step of the way, fed medicine and soup himself, and played the piano for me from time to time to relieve my worries.

On this day, I was finally able to go to the ground, so I woke up early and came to the training ground.

After a while, Suhui pushed Yuan Feibai over, followed by Han Xiuzhu.As soon as Suhui saw me, she exclaimed: "Muya...Mu girl is the first to arrive today, it's really strange!"

Yuan Feibai looked at me for a while, with a hint of understanding in his eyes, he smiled at me and said, "It seems that Mu Jin has made up her mind!"

I smiled back and blessed Yuan Feibai and Han Xiuzhu, "Mu Jin was mischievous and ignorant before, please forgive me from the third master and Mr. Han. From today on, please ask the third master and Mr. Han to teach Mu Jin strictly in martial arts .”

This is the first time I practice martial arts so seriously.Because I figured out a truth, if you want to protect the loved ones around you, you must first become stronger yourself.

Even if I may not live to be 30 years old, I must do everything for my sister before I go to hell.

The so-called person who knows you best is always your worst enemy, so I asked Zhang Demao to help me investigate Liu Yansheng.

I also borrowed various books from Yuan Feibai, most of which were military books, and I went to his private library whenever I was free.I humbly asked him and Han Xiuzhu for advice.Suhui always said that I seemed to be a different person, with a very calm smile.

Han Xiuzhu looked at me with deeper eyes day by day.Yuan Fei treated me as usual and always patiently answered my questions.Now that time is precious, I no longer hide my talents and learning. When discussing a problem with him, I often draw inferences from one instance.Sometimes we talk at night with candles until the cock crows, and the excitement remains undiminished.He is worthy of being a talented man in the world. He often has views on current affairs that surpass those of his predecessors, and even have modern views.It can be said that he is the only person since Song Minglei who can have such a profound talk with me.

The way he looked at me became more and more gentle and joyful. He cared for me more than before, and often asked me how I was. Unfortunately, I was no longer able to play emotional games with him.I don't want to find out if it's true or not that he treats me like this, or it's because of his mysterious lover, because I only have the idea of ​​killing Liu Yansheng to avenge Jinxiu in my heart.

Yuan Feibai asked Wei Hu to teach me how to ride and shoot. When I was riding a horse, I fell a few times. Yuan Feibai asked Wei Hu to slow down. It took two days for me to learn it.As for shooting skills, I have some talent, and I have mastered the essentials in only one hour, and it is extremely accurate, only short of the skill level, even Wei Hu is amazed.

I was studying bows and arrows during the break, and I asked Wei Hu, "Strong man Wei, do we have bows and crossbows that can shoot dozens or even hundreds of bows in the East Court?"

He was silent for a while, then replied: "Miss, I have seen the most powerful bow and crossbow in the hussar camp, and it can only shoot ten in a row. Hundreds of them are probably not available in the world.”

I thought of Gu Long's "Peerless Twins", and on a whim, I asked, "Have you ever heard of Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle?"

His eyes widened.In the next few days, Wei Hu and I hid in his carpentry and iron laboratory sweating profusely, and worked with him to study weapons that could shoot hundreds of arrows at the same time, and Wei Hu gradually became fascinated.Yuan Feibai found a skilled craftsman named Lu Yuan for us. He was more taciturn than Wei Hu, and his face was severely burned. It is said that he is a descendant of Lu Ban.

On the first day of July, we successfully developed a bow and crossbow capable of launching one hundred pieces at the same time. Two people were required to operate it at the same time. One person lifted the arrow and the other fired the arrow. The range could be about 400 meters, which was quite powerful in that era. .

I was thinking about whether to name it Shenzhou-[-] or something in the name of Jinxiu, when Lu Yuan's extremely terrifying and hoarse laughter came from behind.When I looked back, his eyes were shining with excitement, and his burnt face looked like a grinning ghost under the moonlight.I was still afraid, so I stepped back unconsciously, and when I looked back, Wei Hu's smile was even more terrifying.I began to suspect that this was the case for all those engaged in scientific research in that era.

I am relieved to think that the preliminary model has been successful.Holding back my timidity, I told Lu Yuan my next plan.I want to ask him to reduce the size of this bow and crossbow so that it can be tied to the wrist. It is best to make it look like ordinary jewelry, and it can be poisonous. Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan looked at me sharply up and down, and then He stepped forward abruptly, clasped my shoulders, and shouted sharply: "Why are you so vicious at such a young age?"

Looking at that grimace, I was so frightened that my shoulder blades seemed to be crushed by him.Wei Hu hurried forward to pull Lu Yuan away, but when Lu Yuan reminded him, he also looked at me full of doubts.

I straightened my clothes and said calmly: "When Mr. Lu makes it, I will tell you my use."

On the second day, Zhang Demao came to deliver daily necessities as usual. I took advantage of the opportunity to order the goods, and handed him the stolen drawing of the bow and crossbow and the latest design drawing of the wrist-bound bead crossbow in the account book.His eyes flickered, and he took it with a smile.

In a blink of an eye, Qixi Festival is approaching.In ancient times, the Qiqiao Festival was a very important festival for girls, because on this day, girls would sacrifice to the double stars, begging themselves to be exquisite and clever, so that they could love each other with their sweethearts and live a happy life.There is a poem that says:

The embroidered door and the Yao gate are opened for the second time,

Flowers are barriers, jade is a platform.

The little girl of Qingxi, Lanqiaomei,
I have a date and beg to come.

When Xie Sanniang came to me excitedly, I was sitting in Wei Hu's craftsman's room with disheveled hair and muddy face, with charcoal pencils stuck in my ears, kneeling on a pile of drawings, no different from an ordinary decoration worker.

Xie Sanniang was naturally very surprised, and then regardless of 21, she dragged me into the garden who was still thinking hard about how to combine gunpowder and pearl crossbows, and gave me a serious education, saying that the 15-year-old girl is already grown up. In the future, I still have to serve the third master, how can I not pay attention to women's appearance so much?
I was looking down and my scalp was numb. I didn't want Yuan Feibai and Song Minglei, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, to pass by the plum garden. Seeing me like this, I was also shocked.

There was a trace of heartache in Song Minglei's eyes.

Yuan Feibai sighed, waved to me, and asked me to sit on the small chair beside him.He held my little face in one hand, wiped my face gently with his sleeve in the other hand, and said softly: "Don't blame San Niang for talking too much, this time even I, the young master, feel distressed. Fiddle with those things. What are you going to do? Let me help you."

I looked at the stain on his white sleeve, and my heart trembled.He has always been obsessed with cleanliness and is not close to people. Today he doesn't avoid people to wipe my clothes for me. Why?
I raised my head and met his phoenix eyes. For a moment, I wanted to confide in him with a thousand words in my heart, but in the end I couldn't speak, so I had to turn my face away.Song Minglei's face was clear and cold, and he looked at me with sad eyes.

On Qixi Festival, Xie Sanniang helped me bathe and shampoo my hair with Tianhe water, and then put on the best lavender silk flower dress for me. I wore a moon bun on my head, with fragrant white orchids on it, and painted my eyebrows lightly. , smeared with powder, slightly red lips, printed light pink flowers on the forehead, and then dyed the nails with the juice of impatiens.

After dressing up like this, even Suhui also praised and said that the wooden girl can be so beautiful.Song Minglei looked at me tenderly in the corner, while Yuan Feibai stared at me deeply without saying a word.

As night fell, we were unexpectedly greeted by Amir and Bi Ying, all dressed up.

It turned out that Amir sent Biying to our Xifengyuan to accompany me to spend the Qixi Festival with me. He respectfully knelt down and told Yuan Feibai, "I would like to report to the third master, my master wrote to say that there are still some things that have not been dealt with, and we have to wait a while." Staying in the Western Regions, I can’t come back to spend the Qiqiao Festival with Miss Ying. Thinking that Miss Mu and Miss Ying are sworn sisters, and the Qiqiao Festival is a day for girls to get together, so I sent a villain to send Miss Ying over to invite the third master Take care."

Yuan Feibai asked him to get up kindly, and said with a smile: "Your fourth master is really considerate of your girl, and I'm afraid she won't be able to pass the Qiqiao Festival alone." He glanced at me, and then said: "I heard that Feijue dotes on Miss Ying very much, and looking at it now, it really is true."

Biying's face flushed all of a sudden, and she looked at Song Minglei and me shyly.Song Minglei just turned his face away coldly.Although I doubt very much that the author of that letter is Guo Erzhi, my complexion must not be very good-looking.

Still, I'm glad to see Bi Ying again.When there were few people, she explained to me that she just wanted to visit me during the Qiqiao Festival, and she didn’t know that Amir would say that, and then she asked me not to misunderstand, but she glanced at Song Minglei.I felt relieved, and thought it was funny, she obviously wanted to come to see Song Minglei and use me as a babysitter.

So, I smiled and pulled Song Minglei over, just like last year when we Xiaowuyi celebrated the Qiqiao Festival, the three of us tied straw together to form a "Qiao Niangniang" more than one meter high.We helped "Qiao Niangniang" put on a green jacket and red dress, sat in the courtyard, offered melons and fruits, and brought out the "seeds" prepared in advance, which are bean sprouts, also known as Qiaoya sprouts, cut off a section, and put them in Floating on the water in a bowl of clear water, looking at the shadows of buds under the moon, for divination.

We lit up all the palace lanterns in Xifeng Garden, and displayed the melons and fruits from the Western Regions brought by Amir in the courtyard as a trick.

Then Biying and I threaded needles with five-color thin silk threads as usual, competing for speed, and then held a window grille cutting competition to compete for ingenuity. In the end, I lost everything and unintentionally lost the face of Xifengyuan.Amir showed a smug expression on his face, while Suhui stared at me blankly.

Biying brought the guqin again and played "The Song of Yue People" for everyone.Her eyes looked at Song Minglei from time to time, which was self-evident.Song Minglei remained calm.When the song was over, we applauded.Yuan Feibai is also a master of guqin, with a rather surprised expression on his face. Obviously, he did not expect my Biying to be a rare master, so he gently invited Biying to play a piece of "Guangling San" with him, which fascinated everyone for a long time. Song Minglei watched Biying's face finally calmed down a bit.

I smiled and clapped my hands there, and I couldn't help but think of where Jinxiu is celebrating the festival now?Can't help feeling sad.

Suddenly there was a coquettish smile like a silver bell, "What a song "Guangling San"."

We followed the prestige and saw a beautiful woman in men's clothing standing in front of the hanging flower door, her purple pupils were particularly dazzling under the starlight of Qixi Festival.There was a sneer on her peerless beauty, a long amethyst bead chain on her right ear, and she was dressed in white, with a heroic posture and charming brows, followed by a strong black-clothed guard with an unusually respectful expression. My younger sister, Hua Jinxiu, and her personal bodyguard, Qiao Wan, whom I miss day and night.

I smiled, and immediately ran over to hold her hand, but she didn't even look at me, passed me by, walked directly to Yuan Feibai, knelt down on one knee, saluted him, and said respectfully : "On the night of Qixi Festival, Jinxiu misses her sister and visits rashly. I hope the third master will forgive me."

I stood there in embarrassment for a moment, while walking back slowly, while looking at Jin Xiu uncomfortable.
