"Seventh Brother!"
"Seventh Prince!"
Feng Yuheng and Ban Zou both had sharp ears and immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
Then I saw a figure coming towards me from the depths of the snow-capped mountains. It was walking very slowly and with difficulty.
Feng Yuheng got up from the ground and ran towards the figure.
She recognized him. It was Xuan Tianhua. Even though he was walking very slowly and looked a little embarrassed, he was the ethereal Seventh Prince. She was too familiar with that feeling. It was like a lotus growing out of nowhere. No matter when or where, it could calm people's hearts at a glance. Even though she was so uneasy at the moment, she calmed down the moment she saw Xuan Tianhua.
"Don't run, be careful not to fall." Xuan Tianhua saw a small figure rushing towards him, running and slippery, and almost fell several times. He wanted to walk a few steps faster to meet her, but his ankle was crushed by the avalanche, so it was really inconvenient to move.
"Seventh Brother!" Finally she stood in front of Xuan Tianhua, running out of breath, her little face flushed, like a doll in a New Year picture.
Xuan Tianhua subconsciously raised his hand and pushed aside the strands of hair on her forehead. He really wanted to pinch her cheek, but when he moved his hand over, he put it down again.
"I'm fine." He spoke in a light voice, neither far nor near, neither unfamiliar nor strange.
This feeling suddenly made Feng Yuheng a little scared. She grabbed Xuan Tianhua's sleeve and asked anxiously, "Seventh Brother, are you injured? Where are you injured?" While speaking, she touched his head again, "Do you still remember who I am? I am Ah Heng! How can you talk to me like this?"
Xuan Tianhua was also distracted for a moment and wanted to grab her hand, but Feng Yuheng was not honest at all. He patted his head for a while, and then pinched his neck. His small stature could not reach him, and he always had to jump up, which was very funny.
But he couldn't laugh.
On the anniversary of his mother's death, an avalanche buried him and his followers under the snow. He desperately dragged the little follower out, but in the end he was unable to get him out from under the snow.
He sat in the snow for a long time, because his feet hurt so much that he couldn't move, and because he always hoped that the boy would suddenly appear. How could he not be distressed that his followers who had followed him for more than ten years came here with him every year to worship, but eventually died here.
For the first time, Xuan Tianhua regretted not bringing more people with him. He always relied on his kung fu skills and was too conceited, but he ended up killing a life. The heavy snow like a natural disaster trapped him here for two days and one night. He was almost in despair, but he heard this girl calling for her seventh brother heartbreakingly.
He is just like a god, but he is not a god. There are always times when there are people and things that can touch his heart, such as that night in Fengwu County, when the girl fell weakly in the ruins like a kitten, which aroused all the pity in his heart.
"Seventh Brother is fine." His tone finally softened, and his face regained his usual warm and gentle smile. "Silly girl, why did you run out in such heavy snow?"
"Looking for you!" She spoke the truth. "If it was just snowing, I wouldn't come, but they said there was an avalanche in the north of the city, so I can't hide in the city anymore. Seventh brother, you were able to get me out of the burned ruins back then, so today I have made up my mind to dig you out of the snow even if I have to use my bare hands."
Feng Yuheng had a stubborn look on his face, his little nose pointed upward, and he spoke very seriously.
Xuan Tianhua took her hand. Although his foot was injured, he still insisted on supporting the little girl and walked back step by step with difficulty. As he walked, he said, "Seventh Brother is not dead. Even if he is buried in the snow, he can climb out. But the people who came with me can no longer go back with me. Girl, Seventh Brother is sad."
She didn't answer. Xuan Tianhua said he was sad, and that meant he was really sad. But for a person like this, people always didn't know how to comfort him. In his eyes, she was just a child. It was always funny for a child to comfort an adult. Fortunately, she had company. She could quietly stay by his side and be a good listener. After he finished speaking, she would smile like a child, listening to what she should listen to and forgetting what she should forget.
However, Xuan Tianhua only said that one sentence, and then he said nothing else. He just held her hand tighter and did not let go for a long time.
The group just kept walking back. Wang Zhuo looked at Xuan Tianhua's injured foot and offered to carry him, but was rejected. How could someone as proud and immortal as Xuan Tianhua lean on someone's back?
Feng Yuheng couldn't help wanting to use the space to send him back several times, but she had to swallow the words back when they came to her lips. She didn't have the courage to share the secret with anyone, even Xuan Tianhua.
They walked and rested all the way from dusk to dawn. When they finally saw the north gate of the capital, Xuan Tianhua could no longer hold on and slipped to the ground while leaning against a tree.
The man who had always been extraordinary was in such a state of disgrace, but he never let go of the hand that was holding Feng Yuheng.
She half-knelt on the ground with him, and touched his ankle with her other hand, and said in a pleading voice: "Just let me take a look at you, okay?" Seeing that Xuan Tianhua didn't say anything for a long time, Feng Yuheng simply ordered Wang Chuan: "You go first, go back to Baicao Hall, it's almost there, I will accompany Brother Qi for the rest of the way."
Wang Chuan just nodded and said nothing. She knew that she still had a long way to go and the city gate was right in front of her, so she would be fine. So she took Huang Quan and Wang Zhuo back to the city first.
When they walked away, Feng Yuheng turned around and said to the black-clothed figure who had been following not far away: "Ban Zou, you go back too."
"No." The figure took a few steps forward and stood in front of the two of them. "If you don't go back, I can't go alone."
"Brother Seven is here, it's okay."
"The Seventh Prince is injured."
"Let's go!" Feng Yuheng was angry, but his eyes were fixed on Xuan Tianhua's injured ankle. After a while, he said, "Let's go first. I beg you."
Xuan Tianhua shook his head slightly at her, "No need, just look." After saying that, he took off his shoes and socks on his own initiative. His swollen instep made this action very difficult, and he had to use a lot of force to take them off.
Ban took a few steps back and turned around. Although he didn't leave, he didn't look back either.
He had been with Xuan Tianming since he was a child, so he naturally knew the Seventh Prince very well. As far as he could remember, he had never taken off his shoes and socks, or even put on his coat in front of outsiders. Every time Xuan Tianhua appeared in front of others, he looked like an immortal, never in the slightest bit embarrassed, never in the slightest bit misbehaving, even in front of Xuan Tianming and Concubine Yun, it was no exception.
Feng Yuheng let him go because he didn't want to break Xuan Tianhua's habit, but he was a secret guard, and protecting Feng Yuheng was more important than protecting his own life. He had made a mistake once in Fengwu County, and it would never happen again in the future.
Feng Yuheng glanced at Ban Zou and said nothing more. He just moved his body and stood between Ban Zou and Xuan Tianhua.
Xuan Tianhua knew what she was thinking, but he could only sigh softly in his heart.
"The tendons are dislocated, but the bones are not broken." Feng Yuheng pulled her hand out of Xuan Tianhua's palm and carefully checked his injuries, "But the possibility of bone fracture cannot be ruled out." She looked up at Xuan Tianhua and said, "I'll give you some painkillers, just bear with it. After entering the city, follow me back to Baicao Hall and I'll take a good look at you."
Xuan Tianhua nodded, "All yours."
Feng Yuheng said nothing more, and reached into his sleeve to take out the pain-relieving spray from the space.
The sleeves of winter clothes were wide and good for hiding things. Xuan Tianhua did not suspect anything. He just looked at the thing in her hand and asked, "Is this the one that Ming'er used before?"
As she sprayed the affected area, she said, "Yes, Xuan Tianming has used it, and Feiyu has used it too."
Xuan Tianhua only felt that the thing sprayed on the affected area was cool, and the original pain was relieved at once. After a while, it was completely replaced by numbness, and he didn't feel any pain at all.
"It's amazing." He sighed at the medicine bottle, but then said: "But my feet have no feeling at all. I... can't walk."
“Your Highness, I will carry you on my back.” Ban Zou turned around and looked at Xuan Tianhua with pleading eyes, “It’s almost dawn, and the master has been looking for you all night. She…”
"Carry me on your back." Xuan Tianhua interrupted him and took the initiative to speak, which made Feng Yuheng frown. "It's okay." He patted her shoulder, "It's important to go back as soon as possible."
"Then I'll help you put on your shoes." Feng Yuheng lowered her head and silently picked up Xuan Tianhua's shoes and socks, stubbornly refusing his snatching, and insisted on putting them on for him personally. "You let me call you Seventh Brother, then treat me as your own sister. It's normal for a sister to put shoes on her brother, not to mention, Seventh Brother, you saved my life twice." Whether in the suffocating river water or the choking fire ruins, the person who pulled her out of hell was Xuan Tianhua.
Finally, Ban Zou carried the person on his back, freed one hand to grab Feng Yuheng, and used his Qinggong to fly into the air while carrying the weight of two people. Although the speed was slower than usual, it was better than walking back step by step.
When they were almost at the city gate, Ban Zou took the initiative to put Xuan Tianhua down, and changed from carrying him on his back to supporting him. Wang Zhuo, who had returned earlier, had been waiting at the door. When he saw them coming back, he quickly ran over and said to Feng Yuheng, "The two girls said they were going back to Baicao Hall first. I have prepared a stretcher. Do you want to use it?"
Feng Yuheng shook his head and asked him, "Can carriages be used in the city now?"
Wang Zhuo thought for a moment and said, "I will take a few people to lead the way in front, and the carriage will move slowly. It should be OK."
"Then prepare the carriage."
She helped Xuan Tianhua to rest for a while on the side. After a while, Wang Zhuo found the carriage. Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianhua sat in the carriage. Ban Zou drove the carriage himself, while Wang Zhuo led a team of people to clear the snow and clear the way in front.
The carriage finally stopped in front of Baicao Hall. Feng Yuheng breathed a sigh of relief, and Xuan Tianhua also breathed a sigh of relief. They both said at the same time: "I'm sorry for putting you through this." Then they stared at each other in shock, then shrugged and laughed.
Because Wangchuan and Huangquan came back before them, they were already waiting at the entrance of Baicaotang with Wang Lin. Ban Zou saw the place, handed the carriage to Wang Lin, and then dodged and disappeared. Wang Lin was already used to this, so he just went to the front of the carriage and stabilized it. Then Wangchuan and Huangquan and Feng Yuheng worked together to help Xuan Tianhua out, and the group finally entered the house.
Wang Lin cleaned up his sleeping room for Xuan Tianhua. After Feng Yuheng helped him sit down, she immediately dismissed everyone. When the door was closed and only the two of them were left in the room, she said, "Seventh Brother, I want to check your feet again, but the method of this examination is a little special, I must explain it to you first."
Xuan Tianhua waved his hand, "I believe you."
"Okay." Feng Yuheng nodded, turned around and left the house. When he came back, he brought back a set of infusion equipment.
Xuan Tianhua watched in amazement as a large bottle was hung up and a tube was inserted into it. There was an extremely fine needle on the tip of the tube, which was pointed at the back of his hand and pierced. In just a moment, he was dazed and lost consciousness.
