Pihanjin

Mu Fulan got up, motioned to A Mao not to come, then turned around and walked towards her.

The sole of her foot stepped on a pebble, which was wet and slippery. She did not stand firm, slipped, and stumbled, and the person leaned back.

The accident happened in an instant, without warning. Ah Mao only felt that she had only blinked her eyes, and she disappeared in front of her eyes. She was stunned. When she reacted, she ran to the front and leaned out, only to see the water in front of her eyes was dark, and the waves were pushed and rolled by the wind, flapping and beating. Island shore, where is her figure? Immediately, his heart was broken, his feet jumped, and he screamed for help. Her voice attracted the guards not far away. Everyone heard the sound and rushed over. When they learned that the Empress Dowager Mu had slipped and fell into the water, they were shocked. People who knew the water immediately went into the water to search and rescue.

The terrain on the island's shore was like a knife and an axe. As soon as Mu Fulan fell into the water, she felt that the soles of her feet were empty, and before she had time to call for help, the salty water had already poured into her nose, nose and ears. She struggled a few times, and the person sank.

The water pressed towards her from all directions and carried her away. In this boundless dark world, the sky is spinning like she is in chaos.

She quickly stopped struggling, being carried by the undercurrent of the water, drifting in an unknown direction, and her consciousness gradually drifted away from her.

Although the guards tried their best to search and rescue, the water was dark and undercurrents surging. When they heard the sound, Empress Mu had been in the water for a while, and the position pointed by the cat might not be very accurate, and the water was limited. I can't hold my breath for a long time, and I can only do my best like a blind man touching an elephant under this water.

Time passed little by little. A cat's eyes widened, seeing that the guards who had entered the water surfaced one after another, took a breath, then entered the water, and came out again, but she never saw her being rescued. She was so anxious that she kept running along the lakeside, shouting at her at the water's surface. Suddenly, he tripped over a stone under his feet, and fell to the ground. Thinking of how good she was to him, he burst into tears. Was crying heartbroken, suddenly stopped. She raised her head, her eyes widened, and she stared at the lakeside not far in front of her. Suddenly, she jumped up abruptly and ran to the front. When she could see clearly, her eyes glowed, she turned her head, and shouted loudly: "Quickly. Come here! People are here!"

Her roar full of ecstasy, pierced through the wind and rain, and reached the ears of everyone.

The guards came to hear the sound, and saw that the Queen Mother Mu was lying on the bank wet, motionless, as if holding her breath, fainted, and hurriedly lifted the person and hurriedly sent them into the curtain room.

Mu Fulan felt as if she had fallen into a deep dream. In the depths of the dream, it was dark and dull, she was sucked in, and when she was about to fall asleep, gradually, she heard voices calling out to her incessantly.

She vomited out a few mouthfuls of water with mud and sand, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and when she opened her eyes, she found herself lying down, having changed into dry clothes, surrounded by serving maids and maids.

"The queen mother is awake! The queen mother is awake! Great, just scared me to death-"

The cat wiped away the tears that she had just cried, and jumped up in joy.

After being in a trance for a while, Mu Fulan finally remembered that a moment ago, because her feet were slippery, she accidentally stumbled and fell into the lake.

She felt that she was still dizzy and had a pain in her chest. She knew that it was caused by choking water, and she knew even more that if she hadn't been rescued in time, she would have drowned in the water at this moment.

She closed her eyes, the dazed scene before she lost consciousness flashed through her mind, suppressed the weird feeling in her heart, waited for her strength to recover a little, and asked, "Who rescued me here? ?"

After she asked, she opened her eyes and saw everyone's faces, all with smiles.

A servant girl said: "The queen mother was brought ashore by the water. This is called auspicious person and heavenly appearance. You are blessed by the **** of Dongting Lake! A cat saw it with his own eyes!"

A cat met Mu Fulan's gaze, seemed to hesitate, finally nodded, and said, "Queen Mother, when I saw you, you emerged from the water and were carried up by the waves. It must be the **** of the lake. bless…"

Mu Fulan didn't say anything. After a moment of trance, Fang said in a low voice, "You are all shocked. I'm fine. Tell the people outside to go and rest."

Everyone fed her some hot **** tea that had just been boiled, and served her to lie down again. When they saw her sleeping with her eyes closed, they dispersed.

Outside the curtain house, the wind and rain are urgent. In the darkness, Mu Fulan slowly opened her eyes and spent her last night on this lonely island without sleep.

The next day, when the wind and rain stopped, Yuan Handing came to pick her up by boat on time. Knowing that she fell into the water last night, although she was very fortunate, she still had lingering fears, so she immediately let her go back on the boat.

Before Mu Fulan came to the newly erected tomb, she said goodbye to her aunt and boarded the ship silently.

The ship gradually sailed away from the isolated island. She stood on the bow, turned her head, and glanced at the isolated island behind her again. In the depths of the lake, it was sunny. What happened last night, the feeling at that time, when I think about it now, is like a fantasy.

"You just fell into the water last night, your body hasn't recovered yet, the wind is blowing on the bow, go in and rest."

Yuan Handing came over and persuaded her.

Mu Fulan slowly retracted her gaze from the island that was getting smaller and smaller, nodded at him, turned around, and entered the cabin.

Behind the lonely cliff, a shadow is like a rock, standing quietly, watching the big ship carrying her gradually go away, until it completely disappears from sight.

He once said to himself that today, the reason why he came again is to witness with his own eyes the land he has conquered, and finally, as he thought, it was completely unified.

However, he still couldn't deceive himself. When he should have returned, he did not return, but came here - the place where he had met her for the first time many years ago.

Hong Yan is still the same, and there are people by her side.

Finally able to let it go, he thought.

Wu Chuan will come to pick him up, and it is time for him to return. Returning to the place of his home, with a long bow and an iron crossbow, riding the wind and whistling snow, if the rest of his life is like this, if you want to come, what regrets?

…

After Mu Fulan came back, she was in a state of sluggishness, and she lived in seclusion. After a few months, Fang gradually recovered her health.

After recovering, she still lived in the medicine house, seeing a doctor for those who came to seek medical treatment. In addition to practicing medicine, she managed the medicine garden with her own hands.

The morning and evening change, and she is busy all day long. Those who have come from afar to seek medical treatment, who would have imagined that in the medicine cottage, this young girl with good hands, kindness, ordinary clothes, and kindness, is actually the former Changsha. Princess, the current Empress Dowager Mu?

In the blink of an eye, the Obon Festival is here.

On this day, the people of Yuecheng have a custom. When night falls, they leave the city and come to the lakeside of Dongting Lake, where they put lights on for their dead ancestors, and wish the souls peace in the underworld and enter reincarnation early.

It was getting dark, and Mu Fulan felt a little tired after finishing the batch of herbs she had collected during the day in the pharmacy. She went back to her residence. After bathing and changing her clothes, she wanted to rest early and lie down, but she was unable to sleep. When she closed her eyes, she suddenly remembered that today was the Obon Festival.

Many years ago, when she was a young girl, she and her sister-in-law put down the lamp and water, wishing the relatives and dead souls peace. But after so many years this year, when she went home, she was alone and alone.

She got up and dressed, asked someone to prepare a lamp, and accompanied by Mu's mother, she got out of the medicine house and went down the mountain to the water's edge.

She lit lamps one by one for her parents, siblings, and put them into the water. He took out the last one, ordered it, held it, followed it to the edge of the water, and put it into the water gently.

With the light waves, the water lantern slowly swirls on the water surface and drifts away gradually.

Mu Fulan watched steadily until the fire was swallowed by the water and disappeared into the night.

"Let's go."

Mu's mother came over and gently held her hand.

Mu Fulan stood up and walked slowly by the lake. Suddenly, she saw a water lantern floating out from the water in front of her.

She stopped and saw Ah Mao kneeling in a corner by the water not far away, with her back to herself, and kowtow to the far-away lamp, her back was pious, and she could hear the wind. She was muttering words.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, vaguely vague, and Mu Fulan heard her read: "Sir, Lord Weng is doing well now... Lord Weng is so kind to Ah Mao, Ah Mao will definitely accompany her and serve her for a lifetime, Don't worry, my lord..."

Mu Fulan listened and couldn't help but go crazy.

After Amao finished his prayers, he kowtowed to the water again, got up, and turned to go back. Suddenly, he saw Mu Fulan standing behind him. Explanation: "Empress Dowager, Ah Mao thought that His Majesty had been kind to Ah Mao in the past, so she couldn't help but come here..."

Mu Fulan took a breath and said, "I know."

She turned back, glanced at the water lantern behind her again, and turned away. A cat followed silently.

Returning to the Yaolu, Mu Fulan stopped, but Ah Mao seemed to have a lot of thoughts and didn't pay attention. He almost bumped into her, and hurriedly pleaded guilty.

Mu Fulan looked at her carefully, and said, "I see that you are worried these days. You grew up in Xie's house since you were a child, and I look at you differently from others. If you have any difficulties or thoughts, Just tell me and I'll help you."

Ah Mao hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but finally shook his head.

Mu Fulan smiled and shook her hand: "When you are willing to talk to me, you can tell me again. Go and rest first."

The cat lowered his head and walked slowly.

Mu Fulan returned to her room, and after a while, she heard someone knock on the door.

Here comes the cat.

Mu Fulan got up and went to open the door.

"Queen Mother, I really have something... These days, I've been wanting to tell you... I'm afraid I'm wrong... I don't dare to say..."

A cat stood in front of her, hesitating, hesitating.

"It doesn't matter, you say it, it doesn't matter if you say it wrong."

Mu Fulan took her hand, brought her to the bedside, and sat down.

A cat was heartbroken, and finally said: "Do you remember when you fell into the water when you were on the island a few months ago? When I saw that they couldn't find you, I was scared and sad, and I really wished I could go down by myself. Looking for you, but the cat can't swim, I called you loudly by the water, accidentally fell, and when I raised my head..."

She widened her eyes, as if she saw the scene that she couldn't believe at that time.

"I looked up and saw that the Queen Mother seemed to be supported by something and sent out the water. It was too dark at that time, and it was raining again. I couldn't see clearly. I was in a trance. It's similar...but the cat really didn't see it clearly, and when I got up and ran over, it was gone..."

There was a smile on Mu Fulan's lips. Gradually, her smile froze. She stared at Ah Mao, her face gradually paled, and suddenly grabbed her hand.

"What did you say? Say it again!"

Her eyes widened, and her voice rose suddenly.

On weekdays, she was always so kind and noble in front of people, and she was even more friendly to Ah Mao like a family member. Ah Mao was the first to see Mu Fulan so rude.

Amao was frightened, stunned for a moment, her voice dropped, and said timidly: "Queen Mother, Amao is afraid to read it wrong, so I dare not mention it to you... If it is true, Amao thinks, It must be that His Majesty became a god, and remembered you, and he never went, that day he appeared and rescued you..."

Mu Fulan stared straight at Ah Mao, and clenched her hand, getting tighter and tighter, the back of her hand was gradually getting blue veins, but she didn't seem to feel it at all. It wasn't until Amao was in pain, frightened and frightened, and his eyes were red, that he suddenly came back to his senses.

She let go of Ah Mao's hand, stood up, turned around, stumbled to the window, and with a bang, she pushed open the window, facing the fresh air pouring in, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. on.

That night, she stumbled and fell into the water, clearly sinking into the water. However, just before she lost consciousness, she felt as if she had gained a strength to rely on out of thin air.

At that moment, she knew that someone was saving her. She was carried by a pair of arms, and she was going to be born.

And that feeling is so familiar.

After she woke up, she kept telling herself that it was her hallucination just before dying.

He was long gone, how could he appear by her side at this time.

However, at this moment, her heart almost burst.

She felt an incomparable pain in her heart, as if an awl was constantly stabbing.

She held the window with both hands, and the person slowly curled up, as if dying.

"Queen Mother! What's wrong with you!"

Ah Mao finally came back to his senses, ran up, supported her, and shouted loudly.

Mu Fulan didn't move. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes, and with a pale face, he said word by word: "Prepare the carriage and horse for me, and I'll be on the road tonight. I'll go to Beijing!"
