Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 53
When they went down the mountain, Zhao Junyi proposed to keep him at their house.

Lin Shi wanted to politely say no, but was held back by Mai Ya'er when she didn't want to.Whispered to her that the man only hangs his breath for a while, and he is afraid that it will cost a lot of medical money.Only then did they give up and let people carry him back to their home.

The crowd escorted them into the courtyard.

Zhao Junyi asked people to put the person on his back on the kang in the main house. Li Diaozhu's arm was dislocated again, so he asked Mrs. Lin and Mai Ya'er to help cook the ginger water.

Because Zhao Mengzi had turned his foot, he also told him not to leave for the time being.

Take out the one and a half taels of silver left at home.Li Kongzhu begged Chen Baisheng, the head of the village, "Uncle, there is no doctor in our village. I'm afraid the gate of the city will be closed at this time, so I won't be able to go to the town. Do you know if there is a doctor in the neighboring village? Ask someone to help you run errands." No? When you come back, if you have more money, I will give you money for traveling!"

Zhao Hanshi listened to him, and waved his hands again and again, "I'll go invite, there's an old doctor living in Liushu Village next door. It's not too far away, and you can come back in half an hour."

Li Kongzhu nodded, "Then the second uncle went to Uncle Zhao to borrow the ox cart, and asked him to help drive it. You two are good companions. For money, let him add it." important.

Zhao Hanshi waved his hands unwilling to accept her money, saying that they had nothing to do with them, but now that the couple came back with injuries due to his family's affairs, they felt a little sorry.

Li Kongzhu insisted on giving him [-] yuan, "I will pay the doctor's fee first, and the rest will be paid for the medicine when he comes to see the doctor!"

"Normally it doesn't take that much!" Seeing him push, Li Kongzhu pushed back again, forcing him to hold more.

Now it is still snowing outside, people who drive cars and those who visit doctors will find it troublesome.If you are stingy, although you will not say anything on the surface, you will still feel a little unhappy in your heart.

Zhao Han really had no choice but to reach out and take it.

It's just that when he was discharged from the hospital, he went to the kitchen and greeted his mother-in-law again, "You go home and get two dollars, but you've lost your foot. You can't let people pay for the medicine once or twice!"

It's a little too much for Lin Shi who loves to take advantage of small things.He wiped his hands and said, "Okay, I see, I'll go back and get the soup once it's boiled!"

Zhao Hanshi, who was let go by her, walked out of the compound with peace of mind and walked towards the entrance of the village.

On the side of Li Kongzhu's main house, because the room is small, it cannot accommodate too many people.

Chen Baisheng ordered them to go home if they were free, and to ask them tomorrow if they had anything to do.

When everyone heard this, it was really not easy to stay, so they all said goodbye and wanted to go home.

Li Kongzhu sent them out of the hospital with support. Chen Baisheng told her a few words when he left, "If there is anything you need to help, just come and say hello. Don't dare to say anything else. Your uncle is still good at talking. .”

Li Kongzhu thanked him, and politely waited for his figure to disappear into the night before turning around.

"Boom!" came the sound.

She looked for the sound and saw the snow accumulated on the door frame next door falling down.

He couldn't help but half-closed his eyes, and walked back to the yard without saying a word.

The person lying on the kang in the room felt a warm current pouring into his cool body.

He struggled to open his eyes to see, but found that due to his injuries, he didn't even have the strength to lift his eyelids.

After struggling for a long time, not only did not feel the arrival of the light, but it caused endless exhaustion.

"Hmm!" A groan overflowed.

Let Zhao Junyi, who was sitting on the edge of the kang and holding his wrist infuriating, let go.After staring at it for a while, there was no sign of him waking up.The eyeballs rolling under the eyelids are still proving his remaining consciousness.

Realizing this, Zhao Junyi's eyes darkened.The hand rested on his wrist again.

Zhao Mengzi on the side has been staring at this side quietly, the look in his eyes has never been more serious.

I used to think that the third cousin I picked up was different from them.Although they were lame and disfigured, their demeanor and actions were very different from those of the people who were digging in the dirt.

I used to think that he might be a wealthy son of a big family in trouble.

The year he picked it up, the uncle seemed to have said that his family was robbed of their property by thieves, and he was forced to have nowhere to go, so he had no choice but to jump off the cliff to survive.

Now it seems that there is something else hidden!
Feeling his gaze, the man looked back and looked at him indifferently.

Zhao Mengzi was startled by his gaze, and quickly buried his head in fright.

"You don't need to be afraid. If I'm really a heinous person, this village won't be so peaceful all these years."

He took his hand from the wounded man's wrist, "Of course, you can also doubt me and report my doubts to the Yamen. In this way, you might even get a huge bounty."

After all, his identity was suspicious, and if he couldn't produce proof of identity, it would be understandable to punish him as an enemy spy.He has always sneered at those bureaucrats and their ability to make money.

"No, no, no!" Zhao Mengzi waved his hands, shook his head and said, "Without Brother Zhao's kindness today, I would not have my life in the future. I know. That is, you can’t do anything without conscience, and you can’t be the kind of person who embraces kindness and hatred. Otherwise, you will be sent by heaven, and you will go to hell after death!”

God sent?hell?
Zhao Junyi snorted coldly.

At this moment, Li Kongzhu who was outside went back to the courtyard, and met Mai Yaer who came out of the small kitchen with ginger soup.

The two talked to each other and walked in hand in hand.

The two people in the room also instantly returned to calm when they had nothing to talk about.

Mai Ya'er put a small pot of ginger soup on the small black table, holding three small rough porcelain bowls in his hands, and scooped a bowl for each of the three of them.

"Hurry up and drink something warm. After blowing the cool air for so long, it's better not to be exposed to the wind."

Li Kongzhu took it with his left hand and thanked him, carefully blew on the hot ginger soup, frowned, and sipped it in small mouthfuls.

Mai Ya'er served the other two bowls to the two big men who were awake.Then he looked at the lying person and asked, "What is he going to do? What is he going to drink?"

Over there, Zhao Junyi raised his neck and drank the soup in the bowl in one gulp regardless of the heat.Finally, he handed the bowl to Mai Ya'er and said, "Scoop!"

Mai Ya'er was in a daze in disbelief.Looking at the bowl he handed over, he was shocked back to his senses by his cold voice in an instant.

He stretched out his hand to take it and said "Oh~" several times before turning around in a panic.Poured another bowl from the small basin.

Seeing this, Li Diaozhu quickly winked at Mai Ya'er and said, "Let's blow it first!"

Not everyone followed him, like an ice cube is not afraid of being scalded.Although the lying person was a little uncomfortable for her, after all, he was rescued, so it's better to take care of him.

Mai Ya'er also understood.After blowing for several times, he brought the bowl to him.

Zhao Junyi took the bowl.He stretched out his slender fingers, held the bowl in one hand, and gently pinched the man's nose with two fingers in the other hand.

Lift up with one.

The man immediately opened his mouth out of breath.

Immediately afterwards, he unceremoniously poured down the soup in the bowl.

"Hmm~" The man with closed eyes seemed to be very upset by such a rude method, he frowned and wanted to turn his head away.

Naihe's nose was pinched, which made him unable to breathe, so he could only keep coughing and swallowing the undrinkable thing that rushed into his throat.

"Cough, cough, cough..." The overly offensive smell, coupled with the rapid flow of water entering the throat, caused the face of the lying person to flush red.

After the man poured down all the soup unmoved, he closed his mouth again with force and lifted his chin.

"Gudong, Gudong!" After several times, the soup finally slipped into the man's stomach.

The man who was forced to swallow all the ginger soup began to try to open his eyes while coughing with a flushed face.The blurry focus made him unable to see the figure clearly for a moment.When it was completely clear, he immediately half-closed his eyes and looked at the person sitting on the edge of the kang.

"You...cough~"

Boom!Before he finished speaking, he fainted out of breath!
Mai Ya'er stared at Li Kongzhu with wide eyes.My heart said, my God, how can we take care of people like this third brother Zhao.

"Will it be killed?"

Li Diaozhu shook his head, "No!"

Since he was so troublesome, he got the man back.If you think about it, you won't be so stupid that your efforts will be wasted.

Malt was relieved.

The room fell silent again for a while.

When Mrs. Lin went home to get the money and Zhao Hanshi, who was looking for a doctor, came back, it was almost midnight.

The doctor set the bones for several people, looked at the wounds and looked at the wounds, and gave the medicine to those who should be prescribed medicine!
After everything was finished and the medicine was prescribed, it was almost dawn when Chou Shi was about to dawn.

Holding the remaining three hundred silver coins, Li Kongzhu sent away Mai Ya'er and the doctor from the neighboring village who was going to stay at Uncle Zhao's house with the last bit of strength.

When he came back again, he didn't even have the energy to raise his eyelids anymore.

He glanced at the person lying on the kang, and saw that he was still quiet.

He said, "Anyway, he won't die, let's boil medicine for him tomorrow!"

"Yeah!" The man said lightly, and unceremoniously threw the fainted person to the farthest kang.Put up an iron quilt that the first two people covered.

And he, holding the mattress, lay directly in the middle, and put the mattress on his body as a quilt.

Li Kongzhu glanced at it, then crawled into bed without bothering to reason.

She was really tired and sleepy, her body was at its limit!

next day
Li Kongzhu slept until the end of the afternoon before waking up.

If she wasn't so hungry that she protested, she might be able to sleep again.

Standing up with support, I found that every part of my body was aching.I raised my hand and found that I almost lost the strength to pull the quilt.

"Sister-in-law, you're awake!"

Mai Ya'er came in from the outside and was pleasantly surprised to see her awake.Complained: "I came here early in the morning, and saw you fell asleep, and came back at the beginning of the afternoon. I thought you were still asleep, but fortunately, you finally woke up."

Li Diaozhu was ashamed.He pulled the quilt hard and got off the kang.

Then, as if remembering something, he glanced at the kang again.

What about the person who fainted yesterday?
Seeing that her legs were still trembling when she was putting on shoes, Mai Ya'er couldn't help laughing, "I saw that my sister-in-law hadn't traveled a long way. Look at me, I've been doing farm work all year round. I was tired when I came back last night. Yes, take a nap, and your energy will come back."

As he said that, he went over to help her, and helped her to fold and arrange the quilt neatly.

Li Kongzhu looked on in embarrassment, and quickly snatched the broom she was holding to sweep the kang.Asked her: "I heard you said that you have been here a few times, what's wrong? By the way, how is Mengzi's leg?"

Seeing her snatching it, Mai Ya'er snatched it up again, "You're welcome! He's fine, but his leg was broken, and it's not broken, just correct it. I just thought we jammed it for no reason. Come here alone, I'm afraid you won't be busy, so I want to come and help. By the way, Third Brother Zhao came to beg me earlier!"

"He begged you?"

"Ah!" Mai Ya'er took off his shoes and got on the kang, sweeping the kang and said, "I came here early in the morning. He said that the man had a high fever and was in a hurry to take medicine, so I asked me to help him."

"Um... how is that person doing now?" Li Kongzhu looked at her with a guilty conscience and asked.

"Okay?! When I boiled the medicine and brought it to him, I saw Brother Zhao taking his pulse." After sweeping the kang, Mai Yaer got off the kang and asked Li Kongzhu, "What, Zhao San?" Is it possible that brother can also be a doctor?"

Li Kongzhu stopped.Hehe shrugged his shoulders, "Who knows."

Coming out of the main house, Li Kongzhu was about to go to the small kitchen to wash up, when he saw the man standing under the eaves of the kitchen, looking straight ahead, wondering what he was thinking.

After thinking about it, she called out as she walked lightly and approached. "Homeland!"

Zhao Junyi turned around and looked back at him.A chilling ruthlessness flashed across his indifferent face for a moment.

Although it was only for a moment, Li Kongzhu still firmly felt the unique cold from his body.

Glancing at his overly pale face, he secretly calmed down his frightened heartbeat, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

The man glanced at her coldly, and walked towards her without saying a word.

Li Kongzhu thought that he was going to stand in front of her, but he didn't think that he was just a wrong body, so he walked towards the hut.

For his sudden indifference, Li Kongzhu felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Then he didn't bother to make sense and followed to the hut.Since people don't want to pay attention to her concern, then she won't be that good person.I wanted to apologize to him for what happened yesterday, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary.

When he went into the kitchen to rinse his mouth with salt, Li Kongzhu saw the person he rescued yesterday.At this moment, he was lying on the canopy bed where they used to sleep, his face was pale, his lips were tightly closed, and he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.But looking at Zhao Junyi who calmly gave him his arm, it should be fine.

The room was not too cold because of the fire in the room and the stove burning.

Li Kongzhu just glanced at it, then went out with a bowl of water to rinse his mouth and clean his face.

After eating the rice left by Mai Ya'er, Li Kongzhu felt that his strength recovered a lot.He said a few words to Mai Ya'er, left the hospital, and walked towards the village.

Mai Ya'er went home, while Li Kongzhu went to find the district chief, Chen Baisheng.

He took out [-] Wen from the [-] Wen left at home, and asked Mrs. Wang if she had any old quilts or mattresses for sale.

Seeing the string of money she took out, Wang's eyes flickered.Nodding repeatedly, she said that her son sent back two unused old quilts the year before last, and the family just didn't need them, so he readily agreed to sell them to her.

On the way back, Li Kongzhu, who was holding an old quilt, met a woman from the village who came out occasionally.She greeted them politely and nodded.

The women also followed her and said a few polite words.But after she walked away, she started whispering one after another.

These, Li Diaozhu did not know.

When she got home, she took the old quilt and mattress to the hut.

Seeing that Zhao Junyi was still holding the man's wrist, he asked, "Is the injury serious?"

The man looked up at her.After seeing what she was holding, she couldn't help shaking her head.

After a while, he nodded solemnly, "It takes only a few days for the skin injury to become stronger, but the internal injury is too serious, I am afraid it will take some time." In addition, I suffered from the cold last night, and I didn't boil the medicine in time to get rid of the cold, and there was a lot of blood in my body. The cold enters the body.It is a blessing in misfortune to be able to save his life at this moment.

Li Kongzhu put the quilt at the end of the bed, "Why don't you carry him to lie on the kang in the main room? Will it get worse if he lies down in the cold?"

The man didn't say a word, he just let go of his wrist, stood up, and with the effort of bending over, he moved the man away from the canopy bed.

Just when Li Kongzhu thought he was going to carry someone to the main house, he heard him say: "Get on the bunk!"

Uh... Li Kongzhu, who was stunned for a moment, hurriedly put the thick mattress on the old thin mattress.

After he put the person down, he covered him with the thick old quilt he bought, and took the old iron quilt back to the main house, it was Zhao Junyi's quilt to use at night.

After tidying up and coming out, Li Diaozhu boiled the medicine to drink and warmed it on the stove.

Seeing that Zhao Junyi's face was too pale, he took out a few more eggs and put them into the pot that was heating the kang to boil.After waking up, I’m going to steam steamed buns to eat at night.
