"Is something wrong, Master?"
Thinking of the hateful looks in the eyes of those people from Beiping Lu when they left, Chaoge suddenly felt a little scared.
"No, Miss, please see for yourself."
The driver finished speaking in a tearful voice and hurriedly took out a letter from his arms.
When Chaoge opened the letter, before he had time to read the contents, the unfamiliar handwriting, which was much better than before and crooked, made Chaoge feel a sudden pain in his heart.
During the time she was away from home, Yunchang had no idea how much effort he had put in, but in just less than two months, his handwriting had improved so much.
Yun Chang actually left a letter and left home. He said he wanted to go back to Lingfeng County, so he left directly, and asked her not to look for him, because staying would embarrass her. He also said that since he was not her father, he did not want to add to his troubles. As for Chao Yi, he directly asked Yun Xuan to leave him alone...
"Isn't this nonsense? What are you doing? Why don't you stop my father? Do you know how dangerous it is outside now?!"
Looking at the driver with red eyes, Chaoge couldn't help but yelled out loud.
Everyone has a bad temper sometimes, and having just dealt with Concubine Yan, Yun Chang actually ran away from home!
go back?
Is it so easy to go back? The New Year is approaching and it is snowing heavily. Even the official road is difficult to travel. Some mountain roads are steep. If you are not careful, you may slide down the cliff and be crushed to pieces.
Forget about all these. If Yunchang had met that group of people from Beiping Lu, how could he still be alive?
That’s fine, Yunchang is more or less an adult, and he’s even a grandfather, but he is so willful.
Even if he was in a bad mood and wanted to go back, couldn't he wait for her to come before leaving? At least she would arrange things for him on the way!
This is really worrying!
"Master said he wanted to eat some cakes from the shop across the hall, so he asked me to go buy some. The cake shop was doing good business, so I waited in line for a while. It took me more than a quarter of an hour. When I came back, I saw only this letter on the pillow. I was afraid that Miss would come back and not find anyone, so I didn't dare to leave."
Hearing the driver's words, Chaoge took a deep breath and nodded.
"So how long has it been since you came back?"
"It's been about half an hour."
Less than half an hour is about an hour. During this time, if Yunchang had walked, he might not have even left the outer city. If he had taken a carriage directly from the inner city, he should have been outside the suburbs by now. However, he should not have walked far. After all, it was icy and snowy outside, and the carriage would not travel as fast as usual.
Thinking of this, Chaoge hurried out of the inn and headed towards the city gate leading out of the city towards Taichuan Prefecture.
Along the way, she did not dare to stop and looked around, hoping to find Yunchang on the busy streets.
However, after she came out of the inn, she searched all the way outside but could not find any trace of Yunchang.
After leaving the city, she used her lightness skills to head towards Taichuan Prefecture. She travelled fifty or sixty miles back and forth, but there was no sign of Yunchang at all. She even hijacked other people's passing carriages.
Thinking that Yunchang was very likely to take the water route, she headed towards the official road that led to the water route. However, after chasing for a hundred or two hundred miles and pulling over countless horse-drawn carriages, there was still no sign of Yunchang.
To be on the safe side, she searched all the official roads in four directions. She did not rush back until it was dark and the city gates were about to close.
In a small mountain village ten miles outside the city, under the dim oil lamp, a five-year-old girl stood by the wooden bed, blinking her bright big eyes, looking at the man who was covered in wounds and had been in a coma. The little girl's two thin eyebrows were almost twisted together.
"Oh, it's already dark, why hasn't your mother come back yet? Yinyin, grandma went to the village entrance to take a look. It was still daylight when your mother left. Grandma went to pick up your mother with a torch. Your mother didn't have to come back in the dark. It's snowing outside.
Yinyin, are you scared?"
The old woman came out of the kitchen with a hunched back, holding a lit torch in her hand.
Hearing this, the little girl bit her lip and looked at her grandma again.
"Grandma, Yinyin, go ahead. Yinyin, don't be afraid. Mom said that you have difficulty walking. What if you fall down? That's all we can do."
Hearing about her little granddaughter's loving heart and understanding, the old lady's wrinkled eyes couldn't help but show joy.
She reached out and touched Yin Yin's head. The little girl with double buns made the old woman's heart melt.
"Yinyin is so young, you can't go out. Grandma is worried about you."
"Then let's go out together. I'll support grandma."
Yin Yin's eyes lit up and she immediately thought of such a good idea. When the old woman heard it, she nodded happily.
An old man and a young child supported each other and walked towards the courtyard gate. As soon as the gate was opened, a gust of cold wind blew in, making the torch in the old woman's hand flicker as if it would go out at any time.
"Grandma, Yinyin, why did you come out?"
On the dark path, a woman's surprised voice was heard, and she limped hurriedly towards the courtyard.
"Mom, you're finally back. Grandma was so worried that she went out to look for you. She even said she would go to the village with a torch to pick you up."
Hearing his daughter's words, Ruan Qing rubbed Yinyin's head with heartache, reached out to take the torch from her mother-in-law, and helped the old woman to the yard.
"Ah Qing, where's the doctor? Didn't you go to see the doctor? Why did you come back alone?"
Seeing that there was no one behind her daughter-in-law, the old woman's wrinkled eyes suddenly became worried.
"Alas, the doctor didn't come. He said it was too dark and he couldn't see patients. He just gave me some golden wound medicine and some other medicines and taught me how to bandage the wound. That was all. I also bought him some medicines. I'll boil them first and give them to him to drink later.
There is nothing I can do. I begged them for a long time, but they still didn’t want to see me. Maybe they saw how I was dressed, and they thought the fee I paid was too low.”
As they were talking, the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, grandparents and grandchildren had already arrived at the main house.
Under the oil lamp, the man's face was bruised and swollen, with sword wounds on his body. Ruan Qing couldn't help but put her finger under the man's nose and probe. She was really afraid that the man would die.
"Oh, you're out of breath?"
Seeing Ruan Qing's actions, the old lady's face changed with fear, and she lowered her voice and asked hurriedly.
"Also, maybe he has been unconscious ever since he rolled down the hill."
At this point, Ruan Qing hesitated for a moment and glanced at her mother-in-law in embarrassment. Before Ruan Qing could speak, the old woman took Yin Yin's hand and said, "I'm going to boil the medicine. The hot water is ready. You come and get it. Wash him first and treat the wound. We don't know how badly he's injured. After all, he's our family's savior. Don't be so particular about trivial matters. Life is more important."
