Chapter 27 Sad
While talking, Rong Ben came from the forest with a strong elk. A Qu exclaimed and went over to help. The two dragged the deer to the fire. Rong Ben shouted at the left-behind guards: "The prince is the first, you skin it and roast it for lunch."
Several eunuchs pulled out their swords and surrounded them. After a while, the fire was filled with all kinds of prey. Bright red wild game was mounted on the blazing fire rack, and the sizzling oil flowed down the plump meat pattern, dripping on the flames, making a hissing sound, and the whole air was filled with the delicious meat fragrance.
Xiangwu, Xiao Jin returned with the guards, looked at the spoils beside the fire, and showed a smug look on his face, and said to Mei'er, "How about it, I didn't let you follow me in vain." As he said that, he turned around and pointed at the prey and said, "These are all hunted by me, I'll give it to you."
Mei'er laughed and said slanted to Xiao Jin: "So many? It's enough for me to eat until I'm 700 or 80."
"I know how to eat it." Xiao Jin pulled Mei'er over and pointed to a black bear and said, "This skin is good, I'll make you a bear skin mattress." As he said, he leaned into Mei'er's ear and whispered: "You sleep outside every day, are you cold?"
Mei'er replied with a cold face: "Thank you for your kindness, I'm not cold."
Xiao Jin squeezed his eyes, smacked his lips, and touched his nose awkwardly. After a series of small movements, he finally plucked up the courage and pulled Mei'er and said softly: "How about you go to the inner room with me in the future..."
"Brother, brother, see what I caught----"
Before Xiao Jin could express his emphasis, Xiao Chu crawled out of the jungle with a tripping deer behind him.
Xiao Jin's face turned green and shouted in anger: "What are you doing with fuss?"
Xiao Chu was in high spirits, and didn't care about Xiao Jin's scolding, and still shouted excitedly: "This guy is sleeping. I and a few guards blocked it and captured it alive without any effort."
The little guy was obviously frightened. He suddenly saw a group of murderous people. He made a long and long "Yoyou" scream in horror to try to escape. However, his legs were tripped by the ropes. He struggled hard and actually knelt on the ground.
Xiao Jin couldn't bear it and said to Xiao Chu: "Such a small thing has not been weaned yet, so you should release it soon."
"Why are you leaving it? I want to take it back to the animal training garden to raise it."
As he was talking, a female doe came out of the forest in a panic and did not dodge when she saw people, but looked at the deer and screamed.
"Ah! Another one comes!" Xiao Chu took the arrow and was about to shoot and kill him.
"Achu, hurry up!" Mei'er shouted loudly.
When Xiao Chu heard Mei'er calling him, he turned around, slid his hand, and the sharp arrow on the bow shot straight towards Mei'er.
"Be careful!" At the critical moment, Xiao Jin quickly pushed Mei'er away. Because the distance was too close, although he was strong, before he could dodge, the arrow shot firmly on his right arm.
Mei'er exclaimed and stepped forward to grab Xiao Jin's arm.
Fortunately, Xiao Chu had not pulled the bow all over, and the arrow only hurt his flesh, but still had a lot of blood. Rong Ben tore open Xiao Jin's sleeve, pulled out the arrow neatly, covered a bottle of golden sore medicine on the wound to stop the blood, and bandaged the wound with gauze.
Xiao Chu was also frightened. When Rong Ben finished the bandage in one go, he realized that he hurriedly ran to Xiao Jin. Seeing that Xiao Jin's face turned pale, Xiao Chu's tears suddenly fell, and he choked and said, "Brother, are you okay?"
Xiao Jin looked at Xiao Chu with an impatient look and scolded: "A little bit of injury is not a problem. How old is he, he still crying at any time, like something." He said this, but his hand couldn't help but pat Xiao Chu's shoulder gently to show comfort.
The female doe turned around and ran into the forest when she saw Xiao Chu arching. After a while, she turned back and stood not far away, shouting at the deer.
Xiao Jin pointed to the doe and said to Xiao Chu: "The deer is its cub, you should release it."
Xiao Chu looked at Xiao Jin in confusion, "Brother, how do you know that they are mother and son?"
Xiao Jin: "..."
Mei'er was too lazy to talk to this careless guy in vain, so she stepped forward and cut the rope on the deer's legs a few times. The deer stood up and ran straight to the deer.
The mother and son turned around and ran deep into the forest.
The guards put the roasted meat and brought the wine jar. Xiao Jin, Mei'er, Xiao Chu, Rong Ben, A Qu and others sat together to prepare for a picnic.
Xiao Chu picked up Jiuwan, pulled out a silk silk from his arms and wiped it carefully, and placed it in front of Mei'er. He was about to speak up and show his charm, but when he saw Xiao Jin's face was unhappy, he quickly wiped the remaining bowls and put one in front of him.
Xiao Jin picked up a piece of venison and handed it to Mei'er, "After eating, try the newly roasted wild game, which is something that cannot be eaten in the mansion."
Mei'er took it and smiled sweetly at Xiao Jin.
Everyone was so happy to eat meat and drink wine.
The sun set, Rong Ben and the eunuch counted their prey and were about to return to the city. Xiao Chu carried two pheasants and a hare and said to Xiao Jin: "I took these wild game. I will take them back to you. This pheasant made the slaves pause to replenish the emperor's body." As he said that, he mentioned the fat rabbit and said: "This one is peeled and made a pair of insoles for the emperor's brother. It is the coldest place to keep warm."
Xiao Jin was really amused and waved to Rong Ben, "Take these ones back together." After that, he carried Mei'er on his horse, wrapped his wounded arm around her, and took everyone back to the city.
Mei'er was worried about the injury on Xiao Jin's arm, so she returned to the Jin King's Palace and asked someone to invite the imperial physician to come to see her. Xiao Jin held her, "Forget it, it's nothing serious, don't mobilize all the troops."
If the imperial physician comes, from the emperor and concubines in the palace to the ministers in the court, all the forces that are ready to move, and even the people in the mansion will know in the blink of an eye. I don’t know how many people will be worried about this little injury, either openly or secretly.
Mei'er immediately understood and stopped insisting, but she felt sorry for him in her heart and said stutteringly: "Then I'll help you change the medicine."
Xiao Jin nodded obediently.
Mei'er carefully opened the bandage, and the powder and blood had already formed scabs. Mei'er used a fine cotton cloth dipped in clean water to wash off the hard scabs, replaced the medicine, and carefully bandaged them with the bandage.
Xiao Jin looked at her little movements little by little, with a very enjoyable expression, and smiled and nodded and praised: "Well, the skills are good!"
Mei'er, like the old doctor, shook her head and bowed to Xiao Jinyi, "The prince praised it, it is my duty to do my best to do my best to the prince."
Xiao Jin smiled and pinched Mei'er's nose, "I learned well." As he said that, he held her in his arms and looked at her and asked, "Are you really willing to do your best for me?"
Mei'er broke free from his arms, stroked the broken hair on his forehead, and said vaguely: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Xiao Jin approached her, his eyes shining with a burning light, "Mei'er, you know my heart, and you clearly have me in your heart. Why are you..."
Halfway through the words, the maid outside the palace came in in panic and replied: "Report to the prince, the princess has sprained her ankle at the door of the palace with a slippery road in the snow. She was injured very much and could not walk anymore. The girl from the painting fan asked the prince to go out and take a look."
Xiao Jin had no choice but to hold back his words before he could say them, and hurried out to the hall with the maid.
After a moment, Xiao Jin carried Su Wan into the inner room, carefully placed her on the bed, and said to the maid: "Go and invite the imperial physician."
"No need to mess around so late, I just sprained for a while, nothing happened."
Xiao Jin scolded the accompanying maid, "How do you take care of the princess one by one?"
"It's not their business. I heard that the prince was sad and anxious when he went hunting today, so he accidentally sprained his ankle." As he said that, Su Wan stretched out her head and looked at Xiao Jin's wound and said with concern: "Is the prince seriously injured?"
Xiao Jin waved his hand: "It's okay, a little scratch."
Su Wan reached out and gently stroked Xiao Jin's arm and said in a crying voice: "It must be that a lot of blood has shed?"
Xiao Jin gently stroked Su Wan's shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry." As he said that, he said to Huafan, "It's getting late, go and carry a chariot to send the princess back."
Hua Fan replied in a stutteringly: "It's so late, the princess is still injured. If there is any mistake in the snow, it's better to let the princess be here..."
"Stop it! You little hoof dares to disobey the prince's will. The prince said you just follow the instructions." As he said that, he got up and went down to the ground. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he was about to fall down if he was unstable.
Xiao Jin hurriedly supported him, "Don't move."
Su Wan staggered and broke away from Xiao Jin, frowned slightly, and said in a crying voice: "I am not in trouble." She said that, and was about to fall down again.
Xiao Jin pressed her on the bed, "You should not walk if you have any injuries on your feet. Let's stay here for one night tonight."
A trace of joy flashed in Su Wan's eyes, but she immediately covered it up and looked at Xiao Jin pitifully and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Prince."
For a moment, Mei'er felt as if she had already died of pain. Her feet were light and uncontrollable. She tightly grabbed one edge of the table beside her and prevented herself from falling in front of them.
She didn't know how she got out, and she couldn't hear any sound in her ears. She only heard that when she stepped out of the threshold, Xiao Jin seemed to call her softly.
She walked out of the King of Jin Palace like a walking corpse and walked into the north wind whistling in winter.
Mei'er walked aimlessly. Before she knew it, she had climbed up to the roof of the King of Jin's Palace along a long staircase. The wind became even stronger, and the tears on her face had turned into ice. She stood on the roof, and as long as she took another step forward, she could immediately get rid of the torture of bone-eating.
She raised her feet, but stopped in the air.
She wanted to take a look at the world again, raise her head, the vast night sky was shining with stars.
Mei'er withdrew her feet, wiped the tears from her face, and her mind gradually calmed down. She asked herself two questions.
Do you love Xiao Jin?
The answer is yes. Although she doesn't want to admit that she has always loved him, her love for him has never changed in her past life or in this life.
Can you accept that he still loves others?
The answer is no, she can't accept it. Whenever she sees him and Su Wan, she will go crazy.
It's time, it's really time to leave!
