thief, don't run

Don't panic.

It will be fine.

Chu Yan Chu Yan Chu Yan Chu Yan... don't worry...

You're so smart, you'll be fine...

where are you?

Calm down, don't be afraid, I'll save you...

Take my hand, trust me, it's all right...

Look, I just said you'll be fine.

"Chu Yan...I..." I like you.

……

When Zhongliyun arrived, he only saw Chu Yan kneeling on the ground dripping wet, and beside her was Rongrong lying down.

"Rongrong...Rongrong...Rongrong..." Chu Yan called her name, clasped his fingers on her chest and kept pressing. After dozens of times, he took a deep breath and bent down to squeeze her chest. Blow through the nose, repeat twice, then continue to press.

Zhong Liyun knew that there was nothing she could do now, so he checked the surroundings first, and after confirming that it was safe, he stood aside and watched Chu Yan give first aid to Rong Rong.

She didn't expect the current situation. Chu Yan was fine, but Rong Rong... Seeing that both Chu Yan and Rong Rong were drenched, Zhong Liyun guessed that Chu Yan fell into the water and Rong Rong rescued her, but Herself……

"Damn it!" Zhong Liyun slammed his fist on the stone pillar in the pavilion.That group of people is none other than Ouyang's family, but she and A Xue were the ones who had the conflict at the beginning, but Chu Yan and Rongrong were implicated in the end.

And now, half an hour has passed, if Rong Rong has not woken up, then...

Because he was too focused, Chu Yan didn't realize the existence of Zhong Liyun, and suddenly made a sound, Chu Yan turned his head suddenly, was stunned for a moment, then stumbled to his body, and grabbed her by the hem of the clothes.

"You... Rong Rong said, you are the apprentice of the genius doctor, save, save her..."

Chu Yan looked at her with red eyes, Zhong Liyun couldn't bear to look any more, turned his head, walked to Rong Rong, knelt down to check.Sure enough, his face turned blue, his lips turned white, his chest didn't rise and fall, and his pulse... stopped.

Nose, neck, wrist, Zhong Liyun checked them all, and finally he could only withdraw his hand.

But Chu Yan grabbed her and stared into his eyes, "You are a miracle doctor, right?"

"I... I'm just a doctor."

"That can save people!"

Chu Yan almost yelled, Zhong Liyun had never seen Chu Yan so excited, although he was startled, he was helpless, "If I could save me, I would have..." Zhong Liyun raised his breath, turned his head away, "After so long, the measures you have taken are all in place, so...you should also understand that she..."

"Shut up!" Chu Yan stood up, pointing at her and cursing: "You dare to be called a doctor, even I know that she fell into the water for only an hour, even after a few days, she can be saved!"

Zhong Liyun had no choice but to be silent. Chu Yan was right. It is true that drowned people survived after a few days of coma, but that can only be said to be a miracle. , really nothing can be done.

Master...?

Zhong Liyun hung his head and fell into deep thought, but he didn't notice that Chu Yan was looking at her with red eyes, and his clenched fists were clucking.

When An Lingxue got off the boat, she saw Chu Yan like this, and hurriedly called out, "Ah Yan!"

Chu Yan's body trembled when he heard the words, and he fell to the ground as if his strength had been exhausted, but Zhong Liyun's eyes lit up.

"Glass Lantern!" Zhong Liyun shouted, looking at the person who came with An Lingxue, "Uncle, Glazed Lantern!"

Zhong Liyun checked the information before, and the glazed lamp is different from the other four items. It is regarded as the treasure of the Yang family because there are rumors that the glazed lamp has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. The glazed lamp has saved many drowned people.

Although it is unknown whether the rumors are true or not, perhaps there is only this light, and there is still some hope.

After Zhongliyun yelled, Chu Yan obviously thought about it, and looked at Yang Yuandong.

Just as Yang Yuandong got off the boat, he was relieved to see that Chu Yan was fine, and then saw the two of them quarreling, Rong Rong lying on the ground in that state again, he already understood the general idea.It's a matter of human life, Yang Yuandong didn't dare to be negligent, and took a step forward, "I understand what you mean, but no one can guarantee that the glazed lamp will save people, at least I only saw it once when I was young, let alone her... ..."

Faced with Chu Yan's downcast look, Yang Yuandong did not continue speaking after all.If their goal is glazed lanterns, then it's okay to give them, but if they use the lanterns to save people, then he has no guarantee.

However, it is better to try than not to try.On the other hand, they have no better way now.

All three of them knew about the rumor about the glazed lantern.Both Zhong Liyun and An Lingxue wanted to persuade him again, pulling Yang Yuandong to talk about the pros and cons.

With a bang, Chu Yan didn't step forward, but knelt down beside Rong Rong.The three of them stopped talking and looked at Chu Yan.

"Father, please... save her..."

The rain outside the pavilion was still falling, much heavier than the rain just now, and the raindrops hit the stone steps with a loud sound.

Even so, Chu Yan's trembling voice reached everyone's ears.

"Father, she is here to save me...she can't die..." Chu Yan put his hands on the ground, knocked his head on the ground, and his long hair scattered all over the floor.

An intermittent voice came from the ground, low but powerless, "I know, I am a woman, I have never been filial to you for a day, and now I am begging you... But, she really can't die, please... ...she can't die..."

She knew that she was shameless, and obviously she didn't want to see her father before, and she had an attitude of never getting in touch with her father, but now she came to beg for help, it was really rude.However, if there is a little hope, everyone wants to catch it, even if they will be despised, it doesn't matter, as long as it can save her...

Zhong Liyun and An Lingxue also knelt down, begging him to save them.

"Raise your head." Yang Yuandong grabbed the two people beside him first, and walked up to Chu Yan, "Even if your surname is not Yang, you are still my daughter, and you must be upright to everyone, don't be so humble."

"No," Chu Yan shook his head, "She...she, I want to save her, please save her..."

Yang Yuandong sighed, winked at Zhong Liyun, took out a jade tablet from his pocket and handed it to her, "Take this to Yang's house, first settle her down, and we will arrive later."

After all, Yang Yuandong is an elderly person, and he is used to wind and waves, so he is still calm at the moment, Zhongliyun and An Lingxue are still reasonable, after hearing his arrangement, Zhongliyun went over and carried Rong Rong from the ground An Lingxue helped Chu Yan get up.

Chu Yan also knew that it was Yang Yuandong who agreed to help her, kowtowed on the ground again, thanked her, and was helped up.

An Lingxue has never seen such a humble Chu Yan since she was a child. She may pretend to be weak and sympathetic, but it must be fake and she doesn't bother to do it.Chu Yan, whose father hadn't been around since she was a child, doesn't know martial arts like An Lingxue. She has learned all kinds of hypocrisy and masks to protect herself, but at the same time she has a proud self-esteem in her heart, and she will never show weakness easily.

Even with the person she likes, she didn't show off her childhood feelings in exchange for momentary sympathy.Even in the face of her own father, she can disregard etiquette and speak angrily at each other.But now for her...

An Lingxue felt sorry for Chu Yan from the bottom of her heart, so she could only support her better.

On the other side, Zhong Liyun took Rongrong, nodded to the three of them, and directly commanded Qinggong to swipe towards the shore.An Lingxue's injuries were still not serious, so she helped Chu Yan to the boat.

There was no extra clothes on the boat, and An Lingxue was drenched by the rain, so she couldn't change Chu Yan's clothes, so Yang Yuandong took off his outer robe, An Lingxue took it, and put it on Chu Yan's clothes. body.

Yang Yuandong was at the helm outside, there were only the two of them in the cabin at the moment, Chu Yan leaned against An Lingxue, still couldn't help shaking.

"I'm afraid...Axue, I'm afraid..."

An Lingxue touched her body, it was completely cold, because of the cold, she had been soaked in water, her lips were white, and the clothes on her body were also in a mess.

"It's okay, it's okay...it's okay, trust her, it will be fine..." An Lingxue didn't know how to comfort Chu Yan, she was also in a mess in her heart, so she could only repeat this sentence to comfort Chu Yan, It is also to appease herself.

"That's what she said when she found me." Chu Yan seemed to have calmed down, not only his body, but also his voice, quietly talking about what happened not long ago, "She said to trust her, she said I will be fine Yes, she said she would save me..."

"She saved me, but she didn't save herself... Tell me, did I kill her..."

An Lingxue was in a hurry to interrupt her, but Chu Yan said faster and faster on his own: "Yes, I killed her. If she hadn't come to save me, she would have been fine. If it wasn't that I can't swim, she Nothing will happen to her, if I don't hold her tightly, she will be fine at all... right?"

"No, Chu Yan, Chu Yan..." An Lingxue hurriedly called her, if Chu Yan's spirit collapsed at this time, everything would be over.An Lingxue held her hand tightly and persuaded: "Chu Yan, you said that you would wait for her to come back, do you remember?"

"..." Chu Yan's body softened again, "I remember, I said that I would wait for her to come back, and she agreed."

"So..." So, she will definitely come back.

An Lingxue finally changed her words, "So, we have to wait for her, shall we?"

"it is good……"

Hurriedly rushing to Yang Mansion, Zhong Liyun had temporarily placed Rong Rong in the guest room.Although there is Yang Yuandong's token with him, it took a lot of effort to explain it, and even alarmed the old man of the Yang family.Fortunately, Yang Yuandong brought people back in time, first arranged the chores below, and then went to persuade the old man.

An Lingxue went with them, and after a lot of talk, identity, and benefit exchange, the old man finally let go.

"If you want a lamp, you can." The old man sat on the grand master's chair in the meeting hall, sipped his tea with his eyes closed, and said unhurriedly: "But the words must be said first."

"No matter what you say, we will agree." An Lingxue was eager to promise, but was secretly pulled by Yang Yuandong, only then did she realize that she was not choosing what she said.

The old man opened his eyes, then closed them quickly, and said: "The lamp, only a few of us can see it, and it must not be shown to outsiders."

An Lingxue nodded again and again, she only hoped that he would speak quickly so that Rong Rong would have more hope.

"Then, bring down Ouyang's family."

The old man spoke directly, and An Lingxue nodded in response. This was originally an agreed condition, not to mention that after this time, there was another conflict between them, so naturally they would not be polite.

"Third," the old man flipped the lid of the tea, and spoke more slowly, each word clearly, "The girl I saved has to become a member of the Yang family."

"father!"

What does it mean to be a Yang family member?An Lingxue was eager to agree, so that the old man could save people with a lamp. Hearing this request, he was stunned for a moment, and seeing the frowning reaction of Yang Yuandong next to him, he suddenly understood what was going on.

An Lingxue tentatively asked: "The old man's words mean that he wants Rong Rong to marry into the Yang Mansion?"

"Yes," he paused, "and no."

An Lingxue was so anxious that she rubbed the palms of her hands, the old man raised his hand and pressed it weakly, and said: "Yang Mansion, it's not so downcast that a woman can marry in, a regular wife can't do it, it's better to be a concubine."

In other words, is she going to marry Rong Rong into the Yang Mansion as a concubine?She has no right to decide this kind of thing.

An Lingxue shook her head, "Master, besides this one, how about another condition?"

"Do you think this old man is negotiating terms with you?" Mr. Yang opened his eyes, and his eyes almost jumped out. "This is a reward for you. Do you think anyone can enter the door of the Yang family? Becoming a concubine? That is It's cheap for you!"

Yang Yuandong couldn't help but say, "Father..."

"Shut up! You bastard, even my own women can't stand it!" Mr. Yang threw his teacup on the table, and the splashed tea caught his eyes. "My own species has a surname of an outsider. If something happens, I will come to find you." father!"

Mentioning Chu Yan, Yang Yuandong's complexion suddenly changed, he flicked his sleeves and was about to explode, but in the end he held back and took a few breaths.

Among all the people, at this time, only An Lingxue could remain relatively calm, but An Lingxue clenched her fists and felt uncomfortable. She had to face the reality that Rong Rong might die, and comfort Chu Yan, Now he has to bear the pressure to make a decision for Rong Rong.

"Okay, yes." An Lingxue looked directly at the old man, and faced him with a resolute attitude.In fact, only she knew how panicked she was.

Her decision bears the fate of Rong Rong's life.But right now, saving your life is the most important thing.

In the end, whether things will be resolved slowly, or drinking poison to quench thirst, she has no choice but to...

"Gamble." Yang Yuandong said softly.

An Lingxue turned her head to look at him, then turned her gaze back to the old man.His frowned eyebrows finally relaxed a little, as if smiling, "Just understand."

Then he turned around and went to the study room to get the lamp, An Lingxue and Yang Yuandong followed, and heard the old man say: "Second brother, it's been more than ten years, and you don't want to marry a wife, and the woman in your room hasn't moved at all. I can see it clearly, that Chu Yan, you girl, keep it, lest you have no seed."

"Let's leave it in your courtyard and make a fuss on your own. If she is honest and responsible, I will recognize her in a few years."

Here, it was inconvenient for An Lingxue to speak, so he glanced at Yang Yuandong, but he didn't answer, as if he didn't hear.The old man also knew about him, and he had already said what he said, so he didn't want to answer.

While speaking, the old man entered the study, and the two of them waited outside, both of them were silent.Taking a rare moment of free time, An Lingxue temporarily put aside all her thoughts, looked at the courtyard of the mansion, and took a breath of fresh air.

After all, the Yang family is a big family, and the yard is large and magnificent. Although they are merchants with a background in water conservancy, there are still some chic and elegant details, not random, just showing off and exaggerating.Thanks to this, An Lingxue's mood eased a little.

I am afraid that there will be a big battle in the future, and the people in the Yang Mansion still cannot believe it. The three of them are still required to take care of Rongrong, but Chu Yan's state is really worrying. We must find a way to open up her mind. Otherwise, she and Zhong Liyun might still be distracted by her.

Not long after, the study door opened again, the old man came out with a brocade box in his arms, handed it to Yang Yuandong, and said: "The things are here, you take them."

Yang Yuandong nodded and wanted to take it.Unexpectedly, the old man still didn't let go, and tugged twice, Yang Yuandong looked at him and asked doubtfully, "Father?"

The old man shook his head, sighed and said: "Children are debts, and you are also a father. It's shameful to gamble all day long! Take care of yourself."

"understood."

"I know, I know, what the fuck!" Here An Lingxue looked at the brocade box in a panic, while the old man over there was still preaching, "That girl, go and ask your brothers, which one you want."

"got it."

"I know, I know, you are the only one who is slippery! All of them are outrageous! Get lost!"

After getting the brocade box, the two of them didn't care about the old man's cursing, they hurried to the guest room where Rong Rong was.

Along the way, Yang Yuandong walked sideways and said, "Don't worry, that child named Rongrong is fine."

"Huh?" An Lingxue followed his steps and replied, "Oh, that means, this lamp can really save her, right?"

An Lingxue has never dared to ask this sentence, nor did she want to have an answer, but now, it is better to understand than to be confused.

"Yes." This time Yang Yuandong gave a firm answer, "I can definitely save her."

An Lingxue didn't know whether it was the truth or words of comfort, she really didn't bother to tell the difference, she just wanted to hurry over to save people.

"Also," Yang Yuandong said again when he reached the door of the guest room, "About the matter of the concubine, let that child follow me."

"What...!" An Lingxue stopped in her tracks, staring at him with wide eyes, full of disbelief, but fortunately Yang Yuandong explained quickly.

"Don't worry, that child is from my daughter's generation, I'm not such a beast." Yang Yuandong said quickly: "If the old man is in a hurry, remember to say so."

An Lingxue understood, no matter what, Yang Yuandong is someone they are familiar with after all, depending on the old man's temperament, Yang Yuandong is a gambler, no one knows who the others are, Yang Yuandong and Chu Yan There is another layer of relationship. This kind of rhetoric is a tactic to delay the attack, and it is much safer for Chu Yan.

An Lingxue felt that she was being preoccupied, and her brain was slow, and she never thought of such a simple way to fool the old man.

Without further ado, the two entered the door, Rong Rong was lying on the bed, Chu Yan and she both changed into clean clothes, and looked much better, but Rong Rong was still lifeless and lifeless.

There are two rooms inside and outside the room, Chu Yan looks after Gu Rongrong in the inner room, and there are a few maidservants standing in the outer room, it should be arranged by Yang Yuandong to help.An Lingxue looked around, but did not see Zhong Liyun.

Yang Yuandong had come to the bed and said a few words to Chu Yan, then turned his head and said: "Go outside and call Zhong Liyun back, the next thing is very important, and none of you can miss it."

An Lingxue responded, and went out, just in time to see Zhong Liyun standing at the corner of the courtyard, letting go of a wooden bird.

In addition to the large wooden birds that Rong Rong used to drive, An Lingxue learned after entering the Yunshuijian that there are also some small wooden birds that are used by people in the Yunshuijian to communicate with each other, similar to carrier pigeons, but more efficient .

There is a wooden bird, which means that there is a letter from someone in the cloud and water, An Lingxue naturally thought.

He walked over and asked, "What's the matter, what happened?"

The current situation is really a mess, An Lingxue is really afraid that something will happen in Yunshuijian, and Zhongliyun will get out again.

But fortunately, Zhong Liyun only smiled.

"It's okay, the old village chief is out of tune again, just a greeting."

"Huh—that's good." Hearing this, An Lingxue heaved a sigh of relief, and complained: "That old man... Forget it, come in quickly, it's about to start here."

"it is good."

Zhong Liyun responded and walked in, crumpling the letter paper hidden in his palm.
