princess come to my arms

The village is very large, built around mountains, and fences are built around it to form a boundary.At the entrance of the village stands a large brown stone with a height of three people, which has been eroded by wind and sand, and its corners have been rounded.There are zigzag characters written on it, which should be the name of the village.It's just that Gu Ziyou and Li Weixi have never seen the appearance of those words.

"Ziyou, is this the place we are going to find the medicine?" Li Weixi poked his head out of the carriage, then opened the door curtain, and sat beside Gu Ziyou.

"It should be." Gu Ziyou nodded and turned to look at Li Weixi.Seeing that her body was still weak, she leaned closer to her side, getting closer, and said to her: "You are weak, hold on to me, don't fall."

"Okay." Li Weixi smiled weakly, the corners of her lips were still bloodless, and obediently took Gu Ziyou's arm.

The carriage drove forward and stepped into the open village gate.Before walking a few steps inward, suddenly a shrill scream came from the west of the village entrance, Gu Ziyou suddenly pulled the reins and stopped the carriage.

"Ziyu, what seems to be going on over there?"

The two turned their heads and turned their attention to the direction of the screams.

The dust was flying, and there was a burst of flying sand and rocks.I saw a few extremely fast, faintly black figures rushing down from the mountains and forests. With one leap, they swiftly crossed the fence and rushed towards the chicken coop of the family closest to the foot of the mountain.

When the dust falls, there are many things that can be discerned in the sight.Gu Ziyou and Li Weixi saw the group of spirit beasts with dark green eyes.

It's a pack of wolves!

There was only one old woman in that family. She was stooped but not petite, her eyes were still bright, and she was still mighty when she picked up the broom. If she was half her life, she should be a sturdy frontier woman.But after all, he was old, but his body couldn't withstand the erosion of the years, and his legs and feet were already inconvenient. After taking a few steps in succession, his steps were a little staggering.

Even so, she was not afraid of the wolves, she turned pale with fright at first, and then quickly picked up the broom at her feet, intending to fight the wolves.

The pack of wolves is ferocious, and looking at this familiar look, he should be a repeat offender.They quickly dispersed the flock and wounded one by one.

The chickens howled repeatedly, but the old woman also screamed unawares.Chickens that have been raised for half a year are so easily spoiled by these beasts!

The wolves took advantage of it, stretched their heads high, and walked towards the fence triumphantly, preparing to retreat.

Angrily, the old woman picked up a broom and slammed it on the head of a hungry wolf that passed by her but ignored her. The force was not enough to kill it, but it still beat the wolf until the eyes were staring, and the wolf that was in its mouth was smashed. Chicken, spit it out.

"No, the wolves are angry, and the old woman is in danger." The wolves surrounded them, their expressions were ferocious, and their fangs were exposed.Li Weixi, who was watching from a distance, cried out in panic after seeing it.

"Let's go rescue her, princess, hold on to me." Gu Ziyou gripped the reins tightly, swung the whip, and hit the horse's buttocks hard.

The horse galloped away, and with the high-speed rotating wheels, it also rolled up flying sand all over the sky.Without hesitation, Gu Ziyou drove the carriage straight towards the pack of wolves, and from time to time beat the carriage with a whip, making loud noises.

The wolves were scattered by the carriage, and several were scratched by the wheels.After the rampage, Gu Ziyou turned the carriage around, ready to launch the next wave of offensive.Seeing that the situation was not good, the wolves were only taken aback for a moment, and before the carriage arrived, they fled with the chicken they had already got in their mouths.

"My chicken! My chicken!" The old woman was heartbroken, picked up the broom and wanted to chase after him, but Gu Ziyou hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and stopped him.

"Grandma, the wolves are fierce, you will be injured, and you can't chase them any more."

"But my chicken..."

"It's a small thing if the chicken is gone, but it won't be good if you get hurt." Gu Ziyou said patiently with one hand in front of the old woman.

"This hateful pack of wolves is specifically picking on me, a lonely old woman." The old woman complained about her miserable experience, wiped away her sad tears, and bent down to clean up the mess.

After being robbed this time, the old woman staggered even more, her movements stopped and stopped, and she was struggling.Gu Ziyou hurriedly stepped forward to give his hand.

Li Weixi got up from his seat, and came to the side of the two from the carriage.Just as he was about to help, Gu Ziyou quickly put away the last bench that fell to the ground.

Li Weixi straightened up with a slightly curved waist, moved two steps, and stood beside Gu Ziyou, waiting obediently, with a faint smile on his face.

Except for the few lost chickens, most of the things in the old woman's courtyard have been restored, and there is no trace of the mess just now.

"Thank you very much. Without your help, I would have died today." After calming down, the old woman became afraid.The wolves in the northern border are very bloody. If you really provoke them, they can bite off their own blood in seconds, and then there will be no bones left.

The more the old woman thought about it, the more frightened she became, and the more grateful she became to Gu Ziyou and Li Weixi.

Gu Ziyou said: "It's just a little effort, I don't know what to call grandma?"

"Grandma's surname is Chen. You can call me Grandma Chen. The two of you don't look like people from Northern Xinjiang. They come from other places."

"Grandma has good eyesight. I'm a businessman in Fujian. My wife is suffering from a serious illness, so I came to Chita to ask for medicine." Gu Ziyou helped Li Weixi by the shoulder, and glanced at her face.

The carriage was on a rampage just now, and it must have been uncomfortable, and Li Weixi's face was even paler after being exposed to the sun for a while.

"This girl is your wife. She looks really bad. It's windy and sandy outside, and the sun is shining again. Shall we sit under the eaves?"

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Gu Ziyou took Li Weixi's shoulders and brought her into Grandma Chen's house.

After being seated, the old woman poured two cups of tea.

Gu Ziyou moved his two cups of tea in front of him, then untied the kettle from his waist, opened the lid, and handed it to Li Weixi.Li Weixi smiled knowingly, took the kettle, and drank in small sips.

Gu Ziyou said to Grandma Chen with a little apology: "My wife is inconvenient to drink tea, so I will do it for you." After finishing speaking, he drank the two cups of tea in one gulp.

The tea is mellow, fresh and refreshing, and has a strong tea aroma. It is a good tea from high mountains.

Gu Ziyou put down his finished teacup, and asked with a smile, "Grandma Chen, is this Chita Village?"

The old woman shook her head: "No, my village is called Chilian Village. If you want to find Chita Village, you need to climb up half a mountain."

"Is it on the high mountain in the back?" Gu Ziyou pointed to the towering mountain connected by the edge of the courtyard, and asked.

"Yes, the name of the mountain is Chita Mountain."

"We found the wrong place, so we won't bother the old man. We need to hurry to Chita Village." Gu Ziyou helped Li Weixi stand up slowly, bowed to the old woman, and turned to leave .

"If you two want to enter Chita Village, you can't be in a hurry." The old woman straightened up and asked to stay, "It takes half a day to get from Chilian to Chita, and the sun has set at this moment. If the two of you arrive Chita, it will be midnight. Chita Village will lock the village gate after dark, and you will not be able to enter or leave. By then, you will be sleeping on the top of the mountain, so it is better to find an earlier time to go."

"So that's the case, thank you for your kindness." Sleeping on the top of the mountain, Gu Ziyou didn't care, she was afraid that Li Weixi's body would not be able to survive.These past few days have been exhausted by boats and cars. Although Li Weixi is in the car, the carriage is bumpy and always uncomfortable.I just saw the ferociousness of the wolves, if we meet in the deep mountains and old forests, it would be bad.In this way, they really should stay overnight in Chilian Village.

"You don't need to say thanks, it's grandma who should be grateful for your life-saving grace." The old grandma smiled kindly, the furrowed wrinkles on her face deepened, revealing her crooked old teeth.

Subconsciously, a moment of defense flashed in Gu Ziyou's mind, but soon she made a decision.The old woman in front of her is already more than seventy years old, if she harbors evil intentions, with her strength, she is nothing to be afraid of.Even if you have moved to a new residence, you need to be more prepared when you encounter people or things. It would be better to save this search and rest here.

Gu Ziyou cleared his mind and said, "I wonder if there is any vacancy in Grandma Chen's house? The two of us can pay for your accommodation."

"You are welcome, I do have this vacant room, but it is a bit shabby. If you don't dislike it, you can live here with me, an old woman." Grandma Chen always had a smile on her face, but let Gu Ziyou and Li Weixi Let go of a lot of suspicion.

"It's okay, it's good to have a place to live." Gu Ziyou replied.

"I'm going to pack it up, you guys take out the luggage on the carriage."

"Okay, thank you grandma."

"Ziyou, this Grandma Chen's family seems to be a tea picker." Li Weixi pointed to the fresh tea leaves hanging on the ground not far away.

Gu Ziyou said with a smile: "Good tea is produced in high mountains, if the pot of tea just now is placed in the capital, it will surely sell for a good price."

"Then why didn't you give me a taste?" Li Weixi complained.

"You are in a special period now. Except for the medicinal food I made for you, you can't eat anything else, you have to avoid it, you know? When you are well, Ziyou will take you to eat all the delicacies in the world."

"Hey - well, I'll bear with it."

"Are you tired today?" Gu Ziyou knelt down in front of Li Weixi, stroked her cheek with his slender fingers, feeling the warmth of his palm.

"The sun is very strong in northern Xinjiang. You will feel a little dizzy at first, but you will feel a little warm afterward. Your hands and feet are not so cold, and your strength has recovered."

"That's excellent." Hearing what Li Weixi said, Gu Ziyou was overjoyed. With his palms down, he grabbed Li Weixi's hand, held it in his palm, and said, "You can go to this red room later." Walk around the streets of Liancun? Let's go to the medicine shop and ask about the whereabouts of the two herbs."

"Okay." Li Weixi agreed.
