Chapter 56: Dagger Wounds "Stop them."
Min Shian bent down and picked up an inconspicuous piece of white cloth on the ground. Although it was in the mud, it was still visible due to the constant washing of rain.
It was the material that Song Yanxuan usually wore.
The person behind him asked curiously, "Sir, what's so special about this dandelion?"
Min Shian was stunned for a moment before she realized that the adult the person was talking about was calling her.
Then she remembered that she had told Song Yanxuan that apart from a few adults who knew that she was Princess Yongkang, she should try not to let anyone else know. She didn't want to make it public.
Min Shian stroked the inconspicuous cloth on her fingertips. No wonder no one noticed it. If she didn't know Song Yanxuan well enough, she would probably have thought it was a dandelion.
"No, let's go."
After Min Shian confirmed that this was the place where Song Yanxuan had the accident, he stopped wandering aimlessly and slowed down his pace, paying attention to his surroundings with his peripheral vision.
This branch channel is not the largest, but the water flow is the most turbulent. In the wide and clear water, you can see all kinds of strange rocks with strange shapes, most of which have sharp edges.
Min Shi'an's eyes darkened. She had experienced Song Yanxuan's skills before.
If he accidentally fell into the water, with his ability, even if the current speed of the water increased several times, he should be able to get out within half a minute.
But Song Yanxuan was still washed away by the current.
She stared at the stones, her heart suddenly tightening.
Song Yanxuan must have accidentally fallen into the water, and then been hit by a rock, causing him to become unconscious and unable to fight back. That's why...
"Song Yanxuan...you must return safely."
The people behind Min Shian didn't dare to get too close. They only vaguely heard her talking, and one of them asked, "Sir, do you have any instructions?"
She shook her head and looked at the endless water in front of her until the sky became extremely dark. Then she moved her feet and prepared to return to the command center.
“Da da da—”
The sound of horse hooves and wheels splashing through mud and water suddenly rang out behind me.
Min Shian stopped and looked back, only to see a reddish-brown horse galloping towards them with its carriage in the heavy rain as if it were walking on flat ground.
She had no intention of causing trouble and did not want to meddle in other people's affairs, but this was a special period. The carriage had neither passed through the city gate nor had any identification, which meant that its origin was unknown.
"Stop them."
The people behind him looked at each other. They all felt that the adult's request was really embarrassing, not to mention whether the coachman could see them in the pouring rain.
Just looking at the speed of the carriage and how muddy and slippery the road was, if they tried to stop it, it might not be able to stop in time.
Min Shian watched as the carriage grew from a tiny dot to a vague outline. She frowned and said sternly, "What are you standing there for? If there's anything else on the carriage, who can take responsibility for it?"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Everyone shuddered, obeyed the order, and gathered in the middle of the road, waving and shouting, "Who's coming?!"
"Stop immediately!"
Unexpectedly, the carriage did not slow down. Instead, the coachman raised the whip, the horse neighed, and ran even faster, leaving a reddish-brown afterimage.
“Back off!”
Seeing this, Min Shian immediately ordered: "Quickly retreat!"
No one dared to delay, fearing that they would be killed under the horses' hooves, and they hurriedly retreated to both sides.
During the jostle, one person slipped and fell to the ground, but the carriage had already arrived in front of that person!
Min Shian stared at the carriage, gathering her strength to save the man. She didn't want to cause any loss of life at this point in time.
The man closed his eyes in despair and collapsed to the ground, motionless.
Just as Min Shian jumped into the air, he stretched out his arms to pick up the man and throw him aside.
The coachman smiled indifferently, tightened the reins, and then the horse suddenly jumped up on the spot, and flew over the man along with the carriage.
"Miss, I'm sorry, there's still a life in the carriage, so I'll go first!"
In order to avoid hitting the carriage, Min Shian twisted his body forcefully and fell into the mud.
She wiped her face, supported herself on the ground with one hand, used the force to turn over, touched the ground with her toes, and suddenly exerted force to chase forward.
"grown ups!"
"Master, wait for us!"
Min Shian had no time to care about them. She gritted her teeth and tried her best to catch up with the carriage. Now that she had seen it, there was no way they could leave safely!
The coachman seemed to have heard the noise and was suddenly startled by Min Shian who was following closely behind the carriage.
He shouted at the top of his voice: "This girl!"
"In this carriage of mine is Master Song from the Huailin Song Clan. Does Song Yanxuan know?"
"It's the famous Recorder of the Imperial Secretariat."
"You can't afford to delay important matters, girl!"
When Min Shian heard the familiar name, her breathing became disordered for a moment and her movements slowed down.
Song Yanxuan?
She felt a surge of strength from nowhere and leaped forward as fast as lightning, grabbing the back wall of the carriage tightly with one hand, her whole body hanging in the air.
Min Shian's nails were sore from using too much force. She tensed her arms and slowly tried to get onto the carriage.
However, at this moment.
The groom suddenly lifted the curtain, held the dagger in both hands, and stabbed it into Min Shian's arm!
Min Shian's face suddenly changed. She gritted her teeth, looked at the dagger that pierced her arm, and endured the severe pain while still refusing to let go.
"Girl, why bother?"
"There's more than just Lord Song in my carriage."
The groom put away his cynical smile and continued in a serious tone, "Young lady, I always save people, never kill them. But if you insist on not letting go, then I will have no choice but to..."
"I have no choice but to..."
His gaze remained on the jade pendant on Min Shian's waist, and his voice gradually became inaudible.
Then he exclaimed and stammered, "Princess Yongyong Yongkang?"
"broken!"
A quarter of an hour later.
Min Shian sat next to the groom with a grim face and was forced to serve as a groom as well.
Her arm was bandaged tightly, as if a big cell had appeared out of thin air. Not only that, she was forced to listen to the culprit of all this chattering in her ear.
It's so annoying.
"My last name is Ma, it doesn't matter what I'm called. I'm known as the Little Miracle Doctor."
"Why the little miracle doctor?"
"Of course it's our master who came first. The title of miracle doctor belongs to him alone. I have no choice but to be a little miracle doctor for fun."
"My dear Junior Sister, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were Princess Yongkang? Master keeps telling me how talented you were back then."
"Look at what a commotion this has caused."
"But Junior Sister, you can't blame me for being so cruel. If anything happens to Master Song in this carriage, I'll die eight hundred times."
"Not to mention it also contains Master's special prescriptions for various diseases."
“…”
Min Shian didn't have any chance to interrupt at all, as the divine doctor Ma Xiao beside him kept chattering non-stop.
The miracle doctor this person was talking about was a strange man she met when she sneaked out to play as a child.
Originally, she just bumped into him accidentally and apologized sincerely, but he refused to give in. Like a human trafficker, he picked her up and looked at her left and right, looking very satisfied.
This caused serious psychological trauma to the young Min Shian.
There was nothing else to it, it was just that the miracle doctor at that time looked too treacherous.
Fortunately, the miracle doctor at that time revealed his identity. Little Min Shi'an had heard his mother tell many strange stories about the world, and he also knew a little about the miracle doctor who was famous at that time.
So little Min Shi'an would sneak out every midnight and meet the miracle doctor of the time in a remote courtyard in Shangjing City.
This went on for a year and a half. Later, the miracle doctor had to leave the capital due to personal matters, and that was the end.
A few years later, when the miracle doctor happened to pass by the capital, he would secretly meet her and ask for her advice.
The genius doctor at that time praised her highly, saying that she was much better than that stubborn and foolish apprentice.
That silly apprentice was now sitting next to her, talking excitedly about something while holding the reins tightly to control the fast-running horse.
Min Shian wanted to kick him down.
Finally, while he was catching his breath, Min Shian asked, "Where did you meet Song Yanxuan?"
"Was there anyone else nearby at the time?"
The young doctor was stunned for a moment, then realized what she was about to ask and said, "Oh, Junior Sister, you are exactly like Master Song."
Min Shian raised his eyebrows, feeling that his patience was almost reaching its limit.
I thought her silly brother was annoying enough, but now here comes a devil who is even more torturous than Min Shile.
She gritted her teeth and said, "How is it the same?"
"I never say what I want to say, know what I want to do, but I always beat around the bush, almost going from the street to the end of the alley."
After the young doctor talked about this, he started talking about Min Shian and Song Sheng in detail.
Fortunately, he was not completely seeking death. He stopped talking in time and began to tell Min Shian how he met Song Sheng.
"This road is the shortest one to Suiyang City. Most people don't know about it. It was discovered by Master when he traveled around a few years ago. However, this road is quite bumpy and difficult."
"In order to save time and arrive as quickly as possible, I discussed with my master to leave from here."
"Fortunately, we left from here, otherwise Mr. Song's body would have been cold by now."
Seeing that he finally got to the point, Min Shian began to listen attentively.
"I found him downstream. I saw a person lying in the water from a distance. I wanted to hurry up and pull him out for a simple treatment, then leave the rest to fate."
At this point, he suddenly waved his hands exaggeratedly and continued, "I never expected that our Lord Song would be lying there covered in blood and in such a miserable state."
Min Shian, startled by his sudden action, twitched his lips and kept reminding himself in his heart that this was the little miracle doctor and Song Yanxuan was still counting on him, so he couldn't fight.
"After I gave him some simple treatment, I put him in the carriage. You know what happened next."
He thought for a moment, then added, "Oh, by the way, Junior Sister, you can go to the back to see him, but try not to touch him, as he has a lot of small wounds on his body."
Min Shian was waiting for him to say this, and before he finished speaking, he stood up and walked into the carriage.
"Hey, Junior Sister, slow down."
Min Shian turned a deaf ear to her and didn't care about the wound on her arm.
But one day without seeing you feels like a lifetime ago.
She felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. After this incident, she realized that Song Yanxuan was not omnipotent. He was also a living person who could get sick, have accidents, and possibly...
Leave her forever.
His thoughts drifted away uncontrollably. When Min Shian thought of this possibility, his heart felt as if it were pierced by thousands of arrows.
I don’t know where the love comes from, but it grows deeper and deeper.
Song Yanxuan lay quietly in the carriage, breathing deeply and with a peaceful expression. If it weren't for the cloth wrapped around his forehead and body, he would have looked like he was asleep.
"Song..."
Min Shian's voice was choked with sobs, and tears welled up in his eyes before he could finish his words.
She had imagined various ways of meeting Song Yanxuan again, but she didn't expect reality to be so absurd and their encounter would be so dramatic and hasty.
"Junior Sister!"
"Please come out quickly. He needs to rest and recuperate now. He shouldn't be seen by others."
The shouts of the little doctor broke the silence. Min Shian looked at Song Yanxuan deeply, and after a moment, he retreated.
"Little Junior Sister, what's your relationship with this guy? You looked very worried about him. When you heard he was in the carriage, you refused to let go even though I stabbed you so deeply!"
Before Min Shian could sit down properly, he heard the young doctor muttering non-stop.
She was a little upset, and her tone was not very good.
"You know you've wounded me deeply. If you feel even a little guilty, from now on, stay quiet until you reach the command center."
After he finished speaking, the young doctor opened and closed his mouth, but chose to remain silent.
After Min Shian's ears were completely quiet, he began to carefully recall the words of the little doctor.
Judging from his warm and free-spirited personality, it seems unlikely that he would get along with someone like Song Yanxuan. However, his words and actions hinted at a good relationship with Song Yanxuan.
If she asked the young doctor directly, she didn't know what he would say next. She planned to wait until Song Yanxuan woke up and felt better before asking him in detail.
This place was not far from the command center, so the carriage stopped steadily within two quarters of an hour.
"Junior Sister! We're here!"
As soon as the carriage stopped, the little doctor began to chatter again. Min Shian ignored him, but he was not discouraged and kept talking around her.
After Min Shi'an ordered his men to settle Song Yanxuan, Jiangzhou Mu and others who had hurried over after receiving the news, as well as several people who were left behind by Min Shi'an at the water's edge, and Song Chen who had given his good horse to the young doctor and fell behind for half a day, all arrived at the command center one after another.
"I'm glad that Sir Song is alright, I'm glad that he is alright!"
"God bless you, God bless you!"
The governor of Jiangzhou was in tears and his joy was beyond words.
In order to avoid disturbing Song Sheng who was resting in the tent nearby, Jiangzhou Mu deliberately lowered his voice, and the others did the same, and all of them lowered their voices spontaneously.
Min Shian was also very happy. Her eyes were no longer shrouded in gloom as before, and now even the corners of her eyes were tinged with smiles.
"Lord Song has returned safely this time. Considering your eagerness to help with the disaster relief, I will not argue with you."
Her tone could be described as amiable, but no one in the audience dared to disrespect her and they all listened attentively.
"But, there must not be a next time."
Min Shian looked around, finally landing on Jiangzhou Mu, and continued, "I don't want to see anyone here make any more mistakes."
"I hope everyone will take good care of themselves while carrying out disaster relief work."
"Your servants will follow the princess' instructions."
After Min Shian finished hammering, he said, "The rain is getting lighter and lighter. Any problems with the riverbanks and dams must be repaired promptly and should not be underestimated."
"This includes comforting and rescuing refugees. Starting tomorrow, I will personally lead you all in making arrangements. The people are always our priority. Please remember this."
"The relief grain sent by the imperial court has been delayed in reaching Jiangzhou due to the continuous heavy rain. Once the rain subsides, it will be allowed to enter and the relief grain can be distributed."
"I will bring people to set up a porridge stall again."
Everyone responded in agreement and kept complimenting him.
Min Shian waved his hand and said, "But things are unpredictable. I hope everyone will remain vigilant."
"Yes, I obey your command."
"Okay, all of you leave."
After everyone left the tent, Chuntao immediately took out a piece of cloth that had been steamed at high temperature, sprinkled the medicine powder given by the little doctor on Min Shi'an, and re-bandaged him.
Not long after, Min Shian looked at the delicate bow on his arm and praised, "Xiao Tao's craftsmanship is really superb. She really should let the guy who calls himself a little genius doctor take a good look at it."
Before Chuntao could reply, a familiar but somewhat weak voice faintly came through the tent.
"It's time for him to learn from Chuntao."
