Chapter 502: The Mountains Are Enclosed by Heavy Snow
The woman's arrogant look made Yuan Lang amused. As the bodyguard sent by Jiang Zhe to protect Lady Jiang, shouldn't it be right for him to appear here?
However, this little maid was so arrogant that she dared to argue with him. Yuan Lang didn't know whether to call her ignorant or fearless.
"Lady Jiang, are you up?"
If he gets up, he goes to say hello.
Jiang Ru suddenly hit the ice surface with her ladle, as if she was venting her anger on the ice surface.
"Wait!"
She hadn't fetched water or boiled water to wash herself. Jiang Ru was furious. Today must be the most embarrassing moment in her life, and all of this was because of the man in front of her.
She turned her head suddenly, pursed her lips and hit the ice again and again. The sound seemed to be with enough force, and Yuan Lang felt for a moment that she was hitting him on the head.
He touched his nose, dismissed his thoughts, and strode forward to take the bucket and ladle.
"I'll do it."
If she were to knock it on her own, she might not be able to open it until noon.
The man's voice was deep, Yuan Lang was tall and tall, and Jiang Ru looked thinner and smaller in front of him.
Yuan Lang lowered his head and glanced at her slender wrist, and sighed inwardly.
It's so thin that he can fold it with just a little force.
Jiang Ru still hated him in her heart. The things in her hands were taken away. She was so angry that she kicked the man hard.
"asshole!"
Last night's anger was combined with today's outburst. Tuoba Mingge's safety was unknown. He left on horseback in such a heavy snowstorm last night. Jiang Ru's heart kept feeling anxious and scared all night. Today, she was frightened by Yuan Lang again.
, it is impossible for Jiang Ru not to be angry.
"Enough!"
Yuan Lang's body was full of muscles, and being kicked was like being tickled, but what he couldn't stand was Jiang Ru's coquettish attitude.
"You are Lady Jiang's personal maid. You are supposed to be obedient and capable. Why are you acting so lawless now? Do you want to bully your master?"
His face darkened, and he looked a bit bluffing. Jiang Ru felt guilty and curled her lips.
"What kind of master are you?"
He's just a blind idiot. He can't even tell the difference between his master and his slave, and he's being fooled around by her.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ru felt a little relieved.
It's better for Yuan Lang to be stupid. Only by being stupid can she have a chance to escape. No matter what happens, she can still contact Tuoba Mingge.
She couldn't bear to be imprisoned even for a single day.
Seeing that the woman calmed down, Yuan Lang stopped arguing with her. The ice surface that Jiang Ru had been banging for a long time was broken by him in two or three blows. He brought a bucket full of water up. Jiang Ru took the initiative to pick it up. The bucket was heavy.
It almost hit her on the foot.
Jiang Ru's face turned pale, and a flash of fear flashed in her eyes. She took a step back and never said anything about going to pick him up.
Yuan Lang chuckled, her timid look was more pleasing to the eye than before.
Perhaps because he had already determined in his heart that she was Jiang Ru's maid, Yuan Lang was not prepared for her. She was still a teenage girl, so it would be okay if she had a more delicate temperament.
"Give it to me and take it to Lady Jiang's courtyard?"
The bucket was fluttering in his hand. Yuan Lang glanced at her and started to walk towards the guest room.
Jiang Ru quickly stopped the person.
"Go to the kitchen."
Will she freeze to death if she uses such cold water for washing?
Jiang Ru secretly complained in her heart, if Yuan Lang had eyes behind her, she would definitely see her rolling her eyes.
In the kitchen, Yuan Lang helped her light the fire again. Jiang Ru breathed a sigh of relief. She had never cooked before and couldn't even light a fire, so Yuan Lang helped her.
After washing up quickly, Jiang Ru took him to the guest room.
Xiaotao had already dressed up. She was wearing Jiang Ru's brocade clothes and a veil on her face. Only her eyes were exposed on her face. She was sitting timidly on the bed, her head lowered and not daring to look at the two of them.
Fortunately, Yuan Lang had never seen Jiang Ru, and because Jiang Ru was there to cover her up, he believed that Lady Jiang was ill.
"Since Mrs. Jiang is sick, I will send someone to buy medicine at the foot of the mountain..."
"No!" Xiao Tao stopped him.
The lady has given orders that her illness cannot be cured.
"Thank you Master Yuan. My illness is just that I cannot see the wind. I will be fine in a few days."
"real?"
Yuan Lang obviously didn't believe it. Last night, the little maid secretly took medicine with someone. It didn't look like she could heal on her own.
"Of course it's true. Didn't I get medicine for my wife?"
Seeing his verbosity, Jiang Ru couldn't help but interrupt, but when she saw Yuan Lang's suspicious eyes, she quickly stopped talking and turned to ask Xiao Tao.
"Madam, do you think so?"
The question she asked made her feel like she was gnashing her teeth. Xiao Tao shuddered in her heart, and her hands in her sleeves couldn't help but clenched tightly.
"Well, what Xiao Tao said is that I have medicine and there is no need to see a doctor."
Since Mrs. Jiang has said this, Yuan Lang naturally stopped talking. She is a female family member after all, and it is not suitable for a bodyguard to stay in the master's boudoir for too long.
He leaned over and saluted, "Yuan Lang and his brothers are guarding outside the guest room. If Madam Jiang has any instructions, just ask...Xiao Tao to find me."
He glanced at Jiang Ru beside him. The pink cotton-padded jacket she was wearing today looked like a peach as her name suggests.
A slight smile flashed in Yuan Lang's eyes, but it quickly dissipated.
Jiang Ru didn't realize that she was only happy to have escaped.
But since Yuan Lang's people were guarding outside, it would be even more difficult for her to spread the news.
Jiang Ru was anxious. She relied on Tuoba Mingge to know everything outside. Now that Tuoba Mingge couldn't come, she became blind and deaf. She really became a prisoner.
These days, Yuan Lang helped her fetch water and light the fire every day. Although he helped her a lot, Jiang Ru was very upset. This man was following her every day, and she couldn't do anything she wanted to do.
On the other hand, Yuan Lang's attitude was somewhat attentive. He grew up in the border area and didn't even have a mother around him. He was so old that not only his parents were anxious, but he was also anxious in his heart.
Although the maid next to Mrs. Jiang is unruly, it doesn't hurt to have a little temper. It's okay if he has a good temper.
Yuan Lang thought that those who are close to the water should get the moon first. After getting along with each other for so many days, he was afraid that he would not be able to win over a little maid?
Jiang Ru was so annoyed that she just wanted to get rid of this man. She even thought about going down the mountain secretly.
But before she could escape, things took a turn for the better.
The wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier these days, and it is especially cold on the mountain. Because of the excessive wind and snow, the mountain has been sealed by heavy snow.
The roads up and down the mountain are covered with thick snow, and people below cannot get up, so they have no food to eat.
People in Huquan Temple were in panic. It was true that they had never seen wind and snow before, but it had never been this heavy.
The abbot knelt in the main hall, beating the wooden fish with a solemn expression, and clasped his hands to bless the Buddha.
"Amitabha, may the Buddha bless you to spend this winter safely..."
Yuan Lang sent his men to buy food and charcoal fire at the foot of the mountain. He looked at the snow on the mountain and felt uneasy in his heart.
There won't be a snowstorm, right?
You must know that the enemy has been eyeing us for a long time, and the border situation is already critical and cannot withstand this natural disaster.
