Chapter 11 Return after the Snow

On the way back to Dali City, a blizzard hit the Hetao Plain. It suddenly started in the evening. The blizzard was extremely violent. The premature winter always brings some ominous things, such as the cold winter, and this sudden blizzard. "《》.com.

The world became dark, and the wind and snow destroyed everything on the ground. The low-lying areas were filled with snow. The last grass stems were licked from the hills. The blizzard was raging violently. The trees moaned and tilted under the pressure of the wind. Everything was bent, curled up, trembled, and howled shrillly.

Yang Yuanqing and his group were delayed for two days due to the blizzard. When the red sun shone again on earth in the morning and dusk, they finally returned to the Dali City, which has become a city of ice and snow.

The city of Dali is not cold. Teams of soldiers are busy on the streets, cleaning up the snow on the roads and clearing the snow on the roofs for the families covered by heavy snow. Groups of children are running and rolling in the snow, playing, and laughter echoing in the city.

The soldiers all returned to the military camp to rest, and the camel husband also received generous rewards. Yang Yuanqing rode his horse toward Yang Sien's mansion.

Yang Sien's mansion is located on Luoyang Street, close to Qionglongshishan. It is a three-acre house with an area of ​​three acres. The city of Dali is small and cannot accommodate the land of the mansion.

Yang Sien was not in the mansion, and an old housekeeper took him into the inner house. Before he could reach the yard where Chu Chen lived, Yang Yuanqing heard a violent coughing sound, as if he couldn't breathe, Chu Chen's condition had obviously worsened.

At the gate of the courtyard, Yang Yuanqing met Mrs. Fang. Mrs. Fang reads concern and worry from Yang Yuanqing's eyes. She shook her head and sighed: "I have never stopped coughing. I am slightly better during the day and have a severe cough at night. Dr. Dong said that she must go back to the south and will definitely not be able to survive this winter."

Yang Yuanqing nodded silently, walked into the yard, and saw him at first sight with a snowman's green tea, and shouted in surprise, "Young Master is back!"

The door suddenly opened, revealing her thin and pale face. It was only ten days before. Her face was thin, and her big eyes were deeply sunk. She was tortured by the disease and completely lost the heroic image of Hongfu Nu. (《》彩在7*)

She stared at him with resentment, as if he was a late-returning husband. Yang Yuanqing felt distressed and stepped forward to hug her into his arms and kissed her on the forehead, "It's cold outside, hurry up and go into the house."

"I couldn't sleep after two days of snow, so I was worried that you would be flooded by heavy snow."

After being buried in his arms, she cried with joy. She had been tortured by worries for several days. When she saw her beloved, she finally lost control of her emotions. She burst into tears.

"We are hiding at the foot of a mountain for two days and wait until the snow is slightly lower before setting off." Yang Yuanqing hugged her gently, comforted her, stroked her hair, and let her emotions vent in her arms.

Chuchen gradually calmed down. She wiped away her tears with a little embarrassed, took his hand and walked into the room, pulled him to sit in front of the brazier. The room was cleaned very clean and tidy, filled with a strong smell of medicine. The room was not big, and it was indeed warmer than their new county yard house.

Chuchen used fire tongs to pluck the charcoal fire, and quickly pushed Yuanqing away. A string of sparks exploded. She smiled apologetically and said, "I always forgot, and I accidentally got burned."

"Where is it burned? Let me see." Yang Yuanqing leaned forward and looked at her smooth face with a smile.

"Did you see here?"

She frowned slightly, pouted and pointed at her chin, as if she was full of grievance, "I burned a black scar, and I covered it with makeup."

She carefully wiped off the powder. Yang Yuanqing looked at her chin for a long time before finally seeing a small black dot as big as a needle tip. He couldn't help laughing. At this time, his eyes were only an inch away from her chin. Looking at her beautiful and elegant neck like a swan, Yang Yuanqing's white and delicate skin, she slowly approached her and gently kissed her pouted mouth. The tender feeling made Yang Yuanqing a little intoxicated.

Chuchen was shocked all over, and looked at him in a panic and at a loss in his big eyes. Her face suddenly turned red, she lowered her head shyly, and her beloved actually kissed her.

"Yuan Qing, you have to be married to this. "《》.com" she whispered.

"I'll add some carbon to the brazier!"

Yang Yuanqing smiled and changed the subject. He got up and dragged the carbon basket, clamped two carbon pieces with tongs and put them in the brazier.

Chuchen also put a sand can on a brazier, took out a silver pot with thin neck carved from the cabinet next to it, and poured a thick stream of ginger soup into the sand can. She pursed her lips and smiled, "I feel that you will be back today, so I will cook ginger tea for you before dawn. It is already cold, so I will drink it again and again."

Yang Yuanqing stretched his waist long and slowly lay on the soft mattress. A deep fatigue after fighting the blizzard penetrated into every muscle in his body. In this warm room, there was a strong smell of ginger tea. He felt that he was about to be lost in his lover's quiet smile. Before he knew it, he fell asleep.

This time I slept until the afternoon before I woke up. The room was very quiet. Chu Chen fell asleep on the bed. He was covered with soft sheepskin. This was a portion that Yang Yuanqing had. She was covered with a thick blanket. She slept very sweetly, and her breathing was slow and rapid.

She had never seen such a violent blizzard. It was pitch black outside the window all day and night, as if the world had been swallowed by the demon of wind and snow. She was worried about her lover's safety in the blizzard, and she had not been asleep for two nights. Now that her lover has returned safely, she finally no longer worried. A heartstring suddenly relaxed, and she fell asleep exhausted.

On the small table next to Yang Yuanqing was a bowl of ginger tea with still warmth, and a note was pressed under the bowl, "Drink it!" and these two words were written.

Yang Yuanqing felt moved by his lover's concern. He picked up the bowl and drank the ginger tea in one breath. Then he slowly walked forward and lowered his head to stare at her face. Her face was a kind of sickly thinness, and her long eyelashes reminded Yang Yuanqing of her once beautiful face.

Perhaps because of her sweet sleep, her upper lip was slightly naughty and slightly raised. Through the slits of her lips, she could vaguely see her white teeth. Her lip color was a little more rosy than before. Her lips were round and plump, and the lines of her lips were very delicate and delicate, so tender and charming.

Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but slowly approach her and kissed her plump lips gently. Her long eyelashes trembled quickly, but she was still sleeping.

Yang Yuanqing carefully tucked the cushion corners for her and walked out quickly. Chuchen seemed to be still sleeping, but a crystal tears quietly flashed at the corners of her eyes.

After having lunch in Yang Si'en's mansion, Yang Yuanqing found Combas in the back mountain.

Qionglong Mountain is like a round steamed bun cut halfway. Local herdsmen also call it half-tent. Dali City is built close to the cliff. The huge mountain cross-section is smooth and steep. A watchtower and beacon tower are built on the top of the mountain. When the sun is shining, the air on the grassland is clear and clean. You can see situations more than ten miles away on the viewing platform. If you find danger, you will sound the alarm in time. Every day, a fire soldier will be on duty at the top of the mountain.

There is no way to climb the stone mountain, but the residents in the city built a plank road to the top of the mountain with wood on the cliff and made full use of the cliff. The solid granite is the natural stone for digging caves, so there is no need to worry that it will collapse.

At the foot of the mountain, the soldiers dug five huge stone caves three years ago. The caves were dry, bright and well-ventilated, becoming the natural official warehouse of the city. The materials brought by Yang Yuanqing and Conbass from the capital were stored here.

Moreover, Yang Yuanqing ordered soldiers to continue digging caves on the mountainside the year before yesterday. He hoped that these artificial caves would become the last shelter for residents in the city after the enemy was captured by the Li City. On the cliff more than ten feet high, it was enough to dig a cave that could accommodate 10,000 people hiding.

The project is huge and has not been completed yet and will not be completed until next year.

In the second warehouse, Yang Yuanqing found Combas, Combas was worried, "General, I may not be able to wait to come back from Kimin Khan."

According to the plan, Yang Yuanqing wanted to take him to the tent of Khan Qimin and sell his goods. Then, after he came back, he took his wife and daughter back to the capital. At the same time, Chuchen would go back with him, but the worry in Combas's eyes made Yuanqing feel that the plan seemed to have changed.

"What happened?"

"My little daughter is also sick."

Combas sighed with a heart-wrenching sigh: "Like Miss Qian, she can't stand the cold here. She is too young. The doctor said that she will die if she doesn't leave the cold place. I must take her back to Beijing as soon as possible. General, I can't go to the tent of Khan Qimin with you."

Yang Yuanqing nodded silently. The days ahead will only get colder and colder, and he will not be able to stand it. Although the room is warm during the day, the omnipresent cold at night will invade the lungs and make people with weak bodies unable to resist it.

The cold wave from the Arctic crossed Yinshan Mountain and rushed straight to Dali City, making the winter here miserable every year, and this winter is particularly cold. In contrast, Wuyuan County is slightly better. Yang Yuanqing even considered that in winter, he would move residents to Wuyuan County to spend the winter.

He sighed, "When will you go?"

"The day after tomorrow, I will go to Wuyuan City first and stay there for a few days. When the weather is clear, I will go south from Wuyuan County. The girl from Chuchen has already agreed with us that we will go together, and there are more than 100 residents who can't stand the severe winter. Let's go south together."

Yang Yuanqing was stunned. Chuchen didn't tell him why? A subconscious mind told Yang Yuanqing that she didn't want to face the sadness of separation with her.

Yang Yuanqing felt sad, and he nodded, "I understand. I will send an army to escort you to Beijing. Don't forget to find a few jade craftsmen for me, and the army will bring them back."

"Don't worry! I won't forget, please ask the general to sell these goods for me and settle my wife and daughter in the capital. I will come back with Yujiang."

Yang Yuanqing patted his shoulder, "Take good care of me all the way, just treat her as your daughter."

Two days later, Yang Yuanqing escorted them all the way south and sent them fifty miles away. He immediately stood on a hill, silently watching his lover go away. On the vast snowy earth, a long group of small black dots gradually disappeared from his sight. He murmured to himself, "Niu Niu, I believe we have a day to meet again!"

Two lines of hot tears rolled down from his eyes, blurring his vision, and the world became hazy.
