After An Yong left, the girl withdrew her gaze and opened the riddle on the rabbit lantern. She saw that it read: "Spring is gone, and the flowers fall silently."
The girl thought for a moment and said, "Boss, the answer is the word '榭'?"
The boss nodded, wondering how could one or two of them be so powerful? But she didn't show it on her face, and said with a smile, "Yes, young lady." Then she took off the rabbit lantern and handed it to the maid next to her.
The maid took the lantern, paid the silver, and the master and servant left. An Yong had just walked a few steps away when he heard someone shouting from behind: "It's on fire, come quickly!"
An Yong looked back and saw that the place where they had been guessing riddles was now a sea of fire. An Yong said to the servant following Zheng Bowen, "Keep an eye on your young master. I'll go over to help." After saying that, he quickly walked in that direction.
Since this area is full of lanterns, the most feared thing is fire, once a fire breaks out, it will be out of control. At this time, the fire was already out of control and ignited the small wooden building next to it.
An Yong ran in and, together with the rescuers nearby, carried out the old man and child trapped in the fire.
When An Yong rushed in again, he heard someone shouting, "Miss, Miss, wake up, is there anyone? Come and save our Miss!"
When An Yong heard the voice, he realized it was the voice of the maid who had been with the young lady just now, so he ran over without thinking too much.
When we got there, we found out that the young lady had been hit by a fallen shelf and was now unconscious. The little maid was using all her strength to lift the shelf to prevent it from continuing to crush her young lady.
An Yong rushed forward and lifted the shelf together with the maid. Then he bent down and picked up the unconscious lady. As he turned to walk out, he said to the maid, "Hurry up and follow me." Then he strode out of the fire scene.
When they got out of the fire, the little maid was still in shock and kept crying.
An Yong was a little annoyed by the crying and said, "Stop crying. Where is the nearest clinic? Your young lady needs treatment. Take me there."
The little maid finally reacted and said, "Master, please follow me," while wiping her tears.
The little maid took An Yong to the nearest clinic. An Yong looked up and saw Huichuntang. Isn’t this the place where he gets his medicine?
When An Yong was distracted, the little maid had knocked on the door. It was the old doctor who came out. When he saw An Yong, he hurriedly said, "Mr. An, what happened? How did this girl get hurt?"
As An Yong walked into the house, he briefly recounted what had just happened.
At the doctor's signal, An Yong put the girl on the bed. The doctor lifted the girl's eyelids, looked at the bump on her head, and said, "It's okay, she just fainted. I'll give her a few needles and she'll wake up."
As he said this, he went to get the silver needle. The old doctor was very skilled in medicine, and after a few injections, the girl slowly woke up.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a maid squatting beside the bed and An Yong standing beside them, looking a little embarrassed. She felt a headache and was about to reach out to touch it when she was stopped by the maid.
The maid said, "Miss, your head was hit and the doctor just gave you an acupuncture." The maid thought for a moment and said, "Miss, it was this young master who saved us just now."
The girl pulled the corners of her mouth hard to reveal a smile, and said: "Thank you for saving my life, young master!"
An Yong clasped his fists and said, "Now that the girl is awake, I will take my leave now."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. The young lady hurriedly said, "Sir, I have yet to ask your name and where you live."
An Yong said: "My surname is An, my given name is Yong. I am not from Yecheng, I am just serving in the army here." After saying that, he clasped his fists, turned around and left.
The girl lay on the bed, looking at An Yong's back in a daze, and murmured, "An Yong."
Seeing her young lady like this, the maid quickly said, "Young lady, I just saw that the doctor seemed to know Mr. An. Why don't I go ask the doctor?"
The girl didn't say anything, just nodded. Seeing this, the maid left the room, first asked the shop assistant to help report to the government office, and then went to get some information.
She walked up to the old doctor and said, "Doctor, are you familiar with Mr. An?"
The old doctor shook his head and said, "Not really, but he has been coming to me to get medicine recently."
The little maid asked quickly, "I see that Master An is very healthy and doesn't look sick."
The old doctor said, "I heard that he was injured on the battlefield. Fortunately, the young man was young and strong, so he recovered so well. If it were an ordinary person, he might still be lying in bed now!"
The little maidservant struck while the iron was hot and asked, "Then do you know where he lives now?"
The old doctor shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, but I often see him walking with Captain Zheng."
The little maid got what she wanted to know, thanked her, and went back to report to her mistress.
After listening to the maid's report, the girl said, "When you go back, find out where Captain Zheng lives. You can also give him a valuable gift to repay him for saving your life." The maid replied "Yes".
After a while, a middle-aged man in plain clothes came in with a large group of people. As soon as he entered the door, he said, "Wan'er, how did you get hurt? Is it serious? Let your father take a look."
The girl lying on the bed, Yin Wan'er, said, "Dad, I'm fine. I just got hit accidentally."
The middle-aged man said, "You were not allowed to come out, but you sneaked out anyway. Don't do that next time. You must bring guards with you next time you go out. Do you hear me?"
Yin Wan'er heard this and quickly said, "I know, Dad, I won't dare to do it again next time."
The middle-aged man sighed helplessly and ordered, "Come here, help the young lady get on the carriage." As soon as he finished speaking, two burly women came over, helped Yin Wan'er up, and then walked out. The middle-aged man followed closely behind.
The carriage stopped in front of a grand house with the words "Prefectural Government" written on the plaque. The carriage drove in through the side door and stopped in a small courtyard with exquisite decoration.
The old woman helped Yin Wan'er get off the carriage, and a maid immediately led the way to the door of the boudoir and pushed it open. The old woman helped Yin Wan'er to the bed and took off her embroidered shoes. Then the maid helped Yin Wan'er lie down and covered her with a quilt.
At this time, a noble lady came over surrounded by maids and servants. Seeing Yin Wan'er lying on the bed, she wiped the non-existent tears from her eyes and said, "Our Wan'er has suffered a great crime this time. We can't just let it go. The master must send more people to investigate the cause of the fire."
