Xianggong is a big man in men's clothing
Chapter 41
After passing a few streets filled with various lanterns, Qi Zhongyu and Lu Dongfu came to the snack street.
This street market is even more lively than the previous Huadeng Street, with crowds of people rubbing shoulders, and the air is filled with the smell of various snacks.
Some are spicy and pungent, some are sweet and attractive, and there are also melon and fruit snacks. There are many kinds, and most of them look delicious.
However, Qi Zhongyu and Lu Dongfu had dinner at the restaurant not long ago, and they were not hungry yet, so they only bought a pack of popcorn, and watched while walking, eating a popcorn from time to time, not to mention how leisurely they were.
After walking for a while, Qi Zhongyu raised his eyebrows, and found that there were a lot of lanterns hanging behind the snack street where there were fewer people, but the style was not as good as those in the lantern market, but it was not bad.
And after careful observation, it is found that the lanterns here can be purchased without guessing charades, and can be purchased directly.
If she had known this, she would have brought Lu Dongfu here just now, thinking about those puzzles on Lantern Street, her head was getting dizzy.
Lu Dongfu also noticed this. She looked at a family of three not far away. It was a young couple with a daughter who was about five or six years old.
They stood in front of the shelf full of lanterns, the little girl tugged on her father's clothes and said coquettishly, "Daddy, I want lanterns."
The young father smiled and picked her up, so that she could have a panoramic view of all the lanterns on the shelf, and said, "Okay, Daddy will buy it for you, which one does Ruru like?"
The girl cheered when she heard the words, and carefully looked around among the various lanterns, and finally chose a lantern full of rabbits.
The girl and her mother standing on one side shook her head helplessly at the father and daughter, took out her purse from her arms, and asked the shopkeeper, "How long ago is this lantern?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Twenty Wen."
The child's mother gasped, "So expensive? In the past, it was only ten cents."
The shopkeeper said: "Guest officer, you don't know that the patterns of today's lanterns are all drawn by the students of the official school. The pen and ink of their scholars are worth a lot of money."
"And you see, the workmanship and pattern of this lantern are not comparable to those in the past. It is a little expensive, but it is worth the money."
"What's more, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Since the child likes it, it's okay to spend a little money. Just think of it as buying something happy and celebrating it. It can be hung in the house after returning home. How beautiful it is."
The shopkeeper kept talking about the benefits, but the child's mother was still a little hesitant. She glanced at the father and daughter and saw that both of them were looking at her with puckered mouths. She felt even more helpless, gritted her teeth and paid the money. The father and daughter cheered.
They leaned in front of the child's mother and complimented them enthusiastically. The little girl also handed the lantern to the mother. The mother looked at the beautiful lantern and finally looked a lot better. The family of three looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Lu Dongfu watched the whole process, and felt very envious. She was born with bad luck and did not reincarnate into a good family, but she still has a chance. She can give birth to children for Qi Zhongyu. People can come to the night market together.
At that time, she will definitely buy more beautiful lanterns for the children generously to make the children happy.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Qi Zhongyu, and found that Qi Zhongyu had been looking at her quietly before, with a complicated expression on his face, she couldn't tell, it seemed to be sad, and it seemed to be breaking the boat.
An ominous premonition arose in Lu Dongfu's heart, and she forced the corners of her mouth to curl up, pretending that she didn't understand the other person's expression.
She smiled and said, "If I had known there were lanterns that could be bought here, we would have just come here directly."
Qi Zhongyu lowered his eyes, and said lightly: "The lanterns I got by guessing riddles have a different meaning. Do you want more lanterns? I can buy you the best one."
Lu Dongfu was startled when he heard the words, and laughed sincerely, and said: "My husband really spends a lot of money, a lantern looks good, why buy the best, what money is there, it's better to buy more Practical stuff
West. "
Qi Zhongyu grunted, and said: "That's right, I feel a little hungry, let's go to the next snack street and buy some snacks to try."
Lu Dongfu cheered up when he heard the other party's tone, and said with a busy smile, "Okay, let's go."
The two of them walked towards the snack street opposite, both of them had something on their minds, but they lost the former ease and joy.
And in a dark alley not far away, a thin man asked, "Is your source really reliable? Are the remnants of the Demon Cult hidden in this small town?"
The other person was hidden in the darkness, and said in a calm voice: "Believe it or not, anyway, the government and King Kang offered a reward of 10 taels of silver. As long as someone can catch a few leaders of the Demon Cult, no matter what Life or death, you can get this money. For the rest of your life, you will be able to enjoy endless blessings by rewarding money... And because of this, most of the people in the Jianghu have come to Huainan Road. I will share with you the news of Qianjin."
The thin man believed most of it now, he smiled and said: "I still look forward to Brother Han Haihan, I have been investigating for several months, but there is no result, it makes people discouraged, and their temper has become uncontrollable, I am here to apologize to Brother Han. I don’t know if Brother Han has more accurate information, for example, where are the remnants of the Demon Cult hidden in Siyuan County? After all, although this is a small county, there are thousands of people living here. Every household, if you look for them one by one, the day lily will be cold."
The man in the dark sneered and said, "It's really greedy, but I do have definite news. According to the information I got, they are hiding on the East Street. It just so happens that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is no event to attract people on the East Street." activities, so it is very quiet now, which is suitable for us to sneak into it and capture the remnants of the Demon Cult in one fell swoop."
The thin man laughed loudly and said, "Okay! Thanks to Brother Han, you have even found out such a detailed location, so let's not waste any more time, and hurry over now, lest the cooked ducks fly away gone."
The man called Brother Han finally came out from the shadows. He is a middle-aged man in his early forties, handsome and extraordinary, with a half-length beard on his thin chin. From the feeling of a foreigner, he is indeed a martial arts master.
The tall and thin man he was talking to seemed to be about his age, but his facial features were ordinary, even a little wretched.
However, since the two have a good relationship, it means that they share the same taste and belong to the same breed. The two looked at each other, and then they used their lightness skills and hurried towards the direction of Dongjie.
And Qi Zhongyu, who was eating delicious snacks, didn't know anything about it. She was wandering around the snack street with her own wife.
After eating several kinds of delicacies, the two also passed through the snack street and came to a small river about 50 meters wide. After walking a few steps forward, there was a bridge built of stones on the river.
From time to time, small boats pass by under the bridge, dangling towards the more lively West Street, because the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting is being held in West Street, and students from other places also come here to participate in this grand event. In addition, there are Watching the lively crowd, so you can see the crowds of people only from a distance.
Lu Dongfu couldn't help standing on the bridge, standing on tiptoe and looking over there, Qi Zhongyu suggested, "Would you like to go and have a look?"
Lu Dongfu's eyes lit up, and she said, "Is it possible?"
Qi Zhongyu responded and took her hand. At this time, no one was staring at them deliberately, and Lu Dongfu was reluctant, so he didn't let go of her cold hand.
She was led by Qi Zhongyu down the bridge and came to a ferry where the boats were moored. She hired a small boat with some money, and Qi Zhongyu ordered the boatman to go to the place where the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Fair was held.
The boatman is a talkative old man, although his hair is gray, but he is full of energy, and he enthusiastically tells them about the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting in previous years.
Because of this, Qi Zhongyu learned a little more about the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Fair, but this grand event for literati didn't make her much interested, because she... didn't understand.
She's not one to join in the fun, if Lu Dongfu didn't want to see it, she would rather take Lu Dongfu to the Lantern Street for a stroll.
boat row
The speed is not fast, but it can’t be called slow. After traveling for a certain distance, the river becomes wider and wider, and finally comes to the famous Qinghu Lake in Siyuan County. When you arrive here, there are more boats coming and going, all passing through the water system extending in all directions. Come and watch the lively civilians.Real students and important people from the county had already gathered on the most dazzling official boat on the lake.
Although they can't get too close, they can hear what's going on inside. Qi Zhongyu has excellent hearing, although he can't understand, he also knows that there is a literary fight inside, and the fight is very lively.
She recounted it word by word to Lu Dongfu, and Lu Dongfu could barely understand a few words, and then looked at her husband in a daze, eyes full of admiration, as if those beautiful articles were written by him.
Qi Zhongyu's face became hot when she saw it, but he still patiently relayed it to her. Even the boatman sat in the bow and listened carefully.
She pricked up her ears and listened for half an hour. She didn't pause until she felt the weight on her shoulders. When she lowered her head, she saw that Lu Dongfu had fallen asleep leaning against her.
Qi Zhongyu: ...
Dumbfounded, she hugged the little girl in her arms so that she could sleep more comfortably, and said to the boatman, "Let's go around Qinghu Lake."
To be honest, the feeling of floating on the boat is quite comfortable, and it is not surprising that Lu Dongfu would fall asleep after getting up early today and walking such a long distance.
But she didn't sleep for long, opened her eyes and found herself lying in Qi Zhongyu's arms, thought she was on her own bed, rubbed Qi Zhongyu's arm coquettishly, and murmured: "Morning Mrs.
Qi Zhongyu couldn't help laughing, and said, "Morning, do you want to continue sleeping?"
Lu Dongfu snorted, and finally realized something was wrong, her body seemed to be swaying, she got up suddenly, and found herself on the boat, then remembered what she was doing before, and almost covered her cheeks in shame.
She blushed and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiang, I just fell asleep for some reason."
Qi Zhongyu stroked her sleepy forehead hair behind her ears, and said, "It's okay, just have fun during the holidays, and don't worry about these trifles."
Lu Dongfu glanced at the boatman. Fortunately, the old man was well-informed, so he didn't say anything, but asked Qi Zhongyu, "Guest officer, do you want to go around the Qinghu Lake again?"
Qi Zhongyu was about to ask Lu Dongfu for his opinion, but Lu Dongfu said nervously, "Have I slept for a long time?"
Qi Zhongyu shook his head and said, "It's only been half an hour. The lake is not that big, and it just happened to turn around."
Lu Dongfu breathed a sigh of relief, yawned uncontrollably, rubbed her eyes and said, "Master, let's get off the boat and go home, it's getting late..."
Qi Zhongyu thought about it, he really had a good time today, he also visited Huadeng Street and Snack Street, and even swam in the lake, it's getting late, it's time to go home.
So she responded and ordered the boatman to go back to the shore. Seeing that the crowds around had dispersed a lot, but the official boat in the lake hadn't finished yet, and she didn't know how long it would take Wendou. Putting the question aside, he led Lu Dongfu, who was still a little confused after waking up, towards the city gate.
They didn't go back the same way, but went to the city gate from another market, because there were still a lot of people on the snack street, which was a bit too noisy for them who had had enough fun.
There were not many people on this street, they walked slowly in twos and threes, holding lanterns in their hands.
Most of Qi Zhongyu's and the others' lanterns were left to the boatman, leaving only two, Qi Zhongyu and Lu Dongfu each.
Qi Zhongyu noticed that Lu Dongfu rubbed his eyes again, handed the lantern in his hand to Lu Dongfu, lowered himself down and said, "I'll carry you on my back, I think you're going to fall asleep walking."
Lu Dongfu blushed, pouted and said coquettishly, "For some reason, I'm just sleepy."
Qi Zhongyu has also encountered this kind of situation before. He didn't get enough sleep at night, and after sleeping during the day, he woke up again, and he was in a state of confusion and ignorance.
She couldn't help but tapped the tip of Lu Dongfu's nose, and said, "Since you're sleepy, don't force it. I'll carry you on my back faster. When I get home, I have nothing to do tomorrow. You can sleep until noon."
get up. "
Lu Dongfu nodded at her, smiled sweetly, stretched her arms and lay on Qi Zhongyu's body, being carried on her back.
The familiar cold fragrance rushed towards her face, Lu Dongfu couldn't help sniffing at the back of Qi Zhongyu's neck, she was too close, her breath sprayed on Qi Zhongyu's skin, Qi Zhongyu was so clever that he almost dragged her off and threw her away to hand it up.
Fortunately, the trembling feeling dissipated quickly, so she didn't do anything that she regretted.
She dodged and said, "Don't, don't get too close to my neck, it's uncomfortable."
Lu Dongfu was taken aback when she heard the words, and thought in a daze that the last time she combed Xianggong's hair, it was done well, but when she touched the back of Qi Zhongyu's neck, the other party stood up in a big reaction, and said that there was no need to comb.
It's the same today, she just leaned over to sniff, and the other party almost fell to the ground.
Lu Dongfu snorted, and suddenly realized that she had found Qi Zhongyu's weakness, and she couldn't help laughing out loud.
Qi Zhongyu didn't know what she was having fun with, but she was happy, so she was happy too, and the two of them walked towards the city gate in a relaxed mood.
But the good times didn't last long. They had just walked for a while when they encountered a group of people running madly in their direction.
There were quite a few people, and some of them were disheveled and looked very embarrassed.
Qi Zhongyu frowned, what's going on?
She looked in the direction of the crowd, and saw a puff of smoke rising not far away in the dark night, and there was still a faint light of fire.
Is it on fire?
Qi Zhongyu didn't know much about Siyuan County, and was placed at the nearest ferry by the boatman just now, so he didn't know where he was now.
Naturally, he didn't recognize it. The direction of the fire was the place where Tan Haoran and others lived on East Street.
Lu Dongfu was frightened by the people running away in a panic, so she came to her senses completely, patted Qi Zhongyu on the shoulder, and said, "Master, put me down, let's stand on both sides of the road and see what happened."
Qi Zhongyu responded, and carried her to the side of the street to stand firm before placing Lu Dongfu on the ground.
After the crowd ran for a certain distance, they realized that they were safe, and then they calmed down their shortness of breath exhaustedly.
Some people were making a lot of noise, Qi Zhongyu pricked up his ears and listened for a while, and found that some of them didn't know what happened, they only vaguely heard someone running over, saying that it was on fire, and they ran together in fear of death.
After running here, looking at the direction of the thick smoke, he dragged people to ask what happened with lingering fear.
Among them, there was an insider who said with a pale face: "Killed! Killed! I saw with my own eyes, many people died, and several people were fighting, and the sky was smashed. Immediately afterwards, I smelled thick smoke The smell, the house was on fire, and I was afraid of being killed, so I hurried out."
When the words fell to the ground, not only Qi Zhongyu's expression froze, but all the people present who heard the words were silent for a moment, and stammered, "No, it's impossible, our Siyuan County, yes, is famous for its Taiping, how come , how is it possible that someone killed someone?"
Others also echoed, but the fire is definitely not a fake.
Lu Dongfu grabbed Qi Zhongyu's arm uneasily, Qi Zhongyu said a few words to comfort her, "This matter has to be dealt with by the government itself, it has nothing to do with us, let's take another route."
Lu Dongfu nodded. She was also afraid of what might happen if she stayed any longer, so she followed Qi Zhongyu and crossed the alley to go to another street.
However, when Qi Zhongyu first stepped into the alley, he seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly reached out his hand to stop her behind, saying, "It's too dark here, let's go another way."
Lu Dongfu glanced at the alley in confusion. Although there were no lanterns to illuminate it, today was the Mid-Autumn Festival and the moon was high, barely able to illuminate most of the alley.
It's just that Xianggong said so, so naturally she has her reasons, and Lu Dongfu didn't refute, and was going to go another way with Qi Zhongyu.
However, at this moment, she heard someone speaking, the other party's voice was hoarse and weak, and said with hope: "
Is it Zhong Yulang? "
Zhong Yulang?
Who is that?
Lu Dongfu thought suspiciously, and somehow felt that the name sounded familiar.
After thinking about it, she realized that the name was somewhat similar to that of her husband, but even if they did, they were not the same person.
Lu Dongfu thought that this person must have admitted the wrong person, but hearing his voice seemed very uncomfortable, as if he had a serious illness.
Just as she was thinking, Qi Zhongyu in front of her suddenly said: "My lady, wait for me by the side of the road for a while, I will send this person to the hospital and I will come back."
Lu Dongfu originally wanted to go with her, but she realized that she was walking slowly and would definitely not be able to keep up with the husband's pace, so she nodded and said obediently, "Okay, I'll wait here for the husband to come back."
Qi Zhongyu said: "Not here, go and stay in the crowd, I will come back to find you soon."
Lu Dongfu responded, but still saw him walking into the alley, and in the darkness, picked up a tall and thin man on his back, and waved to her, before she turned and walked into the crowd.
As for Qi Zhongyu, the moment she turned around, she quickly used her lightness kung fu and led her into another dark alley. She said, "Hao Ran, what happened? Why do you..."
The person who stopped her just now was none other than Tan Haoran. At first Qi Zhongyu thought he had heard it wrong, but it wasn't until he squinted his eyes that he realized it was indeed him.
There was a strong smell of blood on his body, she smelled it when she first stepped into the alley, and thought it was some other desperadoes, that stopped Lu Dongfu from going forward.
But did not expect ...
She couldn't let him go, and when she reached out to lift him up, she touched thick blood, which seemed to flow a lot.
It's no wonder that when she heard the other party's weak voice, she almost couldn't tell it was her good friend Tan Haoran.
After she asked, Tan Haoran did not get a reply. Although Qi Zhongyu was anxious, he knew that there were priorities, and it was more important to heal Tan Haoran first.
She took out the wound medicine for healing from the purse she carried with her, because she had many enemies in the past, and although her martial arts were strong, she was sometimes injured, so when she went out, she would always prepare some gadgets, which had formed got used to.
Although there was no chance to use it in Yuehe Village this year, it came in handy at this moment.
Taking advantage of the moonlight above her head, she easily tore off the clothes on Tan Haoran's body that had been cut by the sharp knife, exposing the other's blood-stained chest.
His body was covered with scars, two of which were extremely deep, if the other party exerted a little more force, Tan Haoran would have died on the spot.
Tan Haoran coughed suddenly, and spit out a big mouthful of blood. She looked solemn, felt the pulse of the other party, and found that the other party not only suffered skin trauma, but also suffered serious internal injuries. This is not something ordinary people can do, at least It is also done by the masters in the martial arts.
Because Tan Haoran was weak when he was young, and he was supported by two outstanding older brothers, Tan Xiutong did not force him to practice martial arts, so he was the only member of the Tan family who did not practice martial arts, and he was not much different from ordinary people. Against martial arts masters, the only thing to do is to be beaten.
It should be said that the other party was lucky, and escaped with such injuries.
He was also lucky enough to meet Qi Zhongyu who passed by that road. If he met other people, he must have been publicized long ago.
And his body was seriously injured. If he was delayed any longer, he would turn into a cold corpse within an hour.
Fortunately, he didn't deserve to die.
Qi Zhongyu regards him as a good friend, so she won't let him go. After she diagnosed him, she found that the injury on his body was much more serious than she imagined. Although she temporarily stopped the bleeding for him, she had to find a quiet place to help him recuperate. Internal injuries do.
Although this is an inaccessible alley, it is also outdoors. If someone finds out, it will be even more troublesome.
After thinking about it, she gave Tan Haoran a pill, which could temporarily stabilize his heart.
She jumped on the roof and looked around, and finally found a room that was temporarily unoccupied.
Judging from the dust in the house, the yard has not been lived in for several days, and it is suitable for Tan Haoran to hide and recuperate here.
She turned back, carried Tan Haoran on her back, took him to the yard, put him on the bed, and simply bandaged the wound.
Thinking of Lu Dongfu still waiting for her on the street, Lu Dongfu is a silly girl, if she doesn't go back, the other party will stand there waiting for her, and she will be thinking wildly with fear.
She wanted to go back, put Lu Dongfu in a good place, and then come back to treat Tan Haoran's internal injuries.
Although he knew that the other party couldn't hear what she said, Qi Zhongyu still whispered in Tan Haoran's ear: "I'll go out for a while and I'll be back soon. This place is safe for the time being. You can rest assured to wait for my return."
Tan Haoran passed out and didn't respond to her, she didn't care, and set off to go back to the market just now.
When he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he slowly noticed that his blood-stained hem was accidentally stained when she left Tan Haoran on her back, but Tan Haoran was bleeding so much that he rubbed her hem everywhere It's all blood, there should be more blood on the back.
What she was wearing today was the new clothes that Lu Dongfu sewed for her before, and she thought sadly: After wearing it once, she can't wear it again.
And she couldn't go to find Lu Dongfu like this, it would definitely frighten the timid lady, and arouse other people's attention and suspicion.
Qi Zhongyu couldn't stand the suspicion of others, so he turned around and searched for a few men's clothes in the bedroom in the courtyard, and picked out one of the same color to wear on his body. The size was a bit small, but it was barely passable, so she also Not picky anymore.
She practiced lightness kung fu and went back to the street just now, and saw that the lady was still standing in the crowd, together with a few young women, listening to them talk about today's shocking news, with a look of fear and worry on her face, The women who spoke comforted her gently.
Qi Zhongyu thought: the last time at the city gate was the same, Lu Dongfu had a good conversation with the aunt who had never met before, this may be Lu Dongfu's special ability, her pure and harmless temperament can be quickly accepted by others, In addition, she is good at listening, so she can get useful information without much effort.
When she stepped forward, Lu Dongfu's eyes lit up, and she said worriedly, "Sir, that man..."
Qi Zhongyu hugged her suddenly, interrupted what she was going to say next, and said, "Lady, I'm worried about you to death."
The women who were chatting with Lu Dongfu just now had narrow smiles on their faces when they saw this, and one of them said, "Lady of the Lu family, this is your husband."
Lu Dongfu was not used to getting close to Qi Zhongyu in front of others, her face was so red that it was bleeding, and she didn't even pay attention to what Qi Zhongyu said just now.
Qi Zhongyu let go of her, and said to the group of young women: "I am her husband-in-law, what happened today, and it's getting late, I have to go home as soon as possible, please forgive me."
She combed her hair today, put on pretty makeup, her appearance is very attractive, coupled with her gentle and polite attitude, the young women couldn't help but blushed, waved their hands and said it's okay, and watched the couple leave, feeling envious in their hearts The girl who chatted with them just now.
After walking a certain distance, Lu Dongfu remembered the seriously ill passer-by, and asked, "Sir, how is that man? What did the doctor say?"
Qi Zhongyu paused, and said nonsense: "The doctor said that he is seriously ill and needs to be taken care of carefully. It's a pity that he is a passer-by and has no relatives or friends in Siyuan County. The gangsters robbed them all, and it is very pitiful now...so I plan to take care of him for a few days."
When Lu Dongfu heard the first half, she was still pitying what happened to that man, but when she heard the last sentence, she let out a bewildered eh.
She knew that she knew Xianggong very well. From her point of view, Xianggong was not a warm-hearted person. Apart from his gentle attitude towards relatives, he was very indifferent to outsiders. Many people in the village were afraid of him, which was also partly related to his cold temper. .
However, such a gentleman is going to extend a helping hand to a passer-by whom he has never met before, and will take care of him himself for a few days!
Could it be that the man was really very sick?
But no matter how you think about it, it's weird
.
Qi Zhongyu also felt that something was wrong, and remedied: "To be honest, that person... looks somewhat similar to my old friend. My old friend has been weak since he was a child, and he was only weak. He died of a serious illness. I saw him today. That person reminded me of my old friend, so..."
Lu Dongfu nodded hesitantly. Although this sounded reasonable, Lu Dongfu still felt that it was against harmony.
She didn't want to figure out what was wrong, so she asked Xianggong: "Then Xianggong will go home tonight, and come over to take care of him tomorrow?"
Qi Zhongyu said: "I plan to go back and continue to take care of him later, so I won't go back to the village today. I don't feel relieved if you go back alone, so I will take you to the second brother's house now, and you will stay there for one night until dawn tomorrow. If I go home again, I should stay in the clinic for a few days. If the second uncle asks, you just say...just say that I have something to go out. "
Lu Dongfu felt even more strange, why did he lie to the second uncle, the second uncle is obviously a close and reliable elder, maybe he can help the passer-by.
She bit her lips and hesitated to speak, but Qi Zhongyu was pressed for time and couldn't explain to her in detail, so he picked him up and quickly arrived at the gate of Qi Anye's house with light work, and personally watched her step into the courtyard gate, ignoring the other party's instructions, He turned around and left quickly.
Lu Dongfu originally wanted to say a few more words to Xianggong, but Xianggong disappeared in the blink of an eye. Lu Dongfu could only sigh in dismay, and went to the main room to tell his second sister-in-law that he would stay here for a night.
The second elder brother, Qi Anye, was not at home. He was a wealthy businessman and celebrity in Siyuan County, and he was also a well-known Confucian businessman, so he was invited to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, and he probably would not come back until late at night.
The second sister-in-law Cheng stared at her for a while, and asked, "Why didn't Zhong Yu come with you? Did something happen to him?"
Lu Dongfu thought of what Xianggong said before, so she didn't tell the truth to the second sister-in-law, but improvised a lie, saying: "Xianggong met an old friend when he was swimming in the lake, so we had a drink with him, and I was very sleepy. , just told me to stay at my second brother's house for one night first, and he will come back naturally after he finishes his gathering with his friends."
The second sister-in-law Cheng raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, thinking that a withdrawn person like Qi Zhongyu would have friends in Siyuan County?
But she thought about it again, although Qi Zhongyu hadn't socialized with anyone this year, but in the past 20 years, he traveled all over the world, and naturally made some friends, so it's not surprising that he would meet by coincidence today.
After she figured it out, she shook her head with a smile and said, "That's how men are. With old friends and good wine, they forget everything. It's okay, it's getting late today, and it's not safe for you to go back to the village alone. Rest here with me."
She ordered the maids in the mansion to take Lu Dongfu to the guest room. Lu Dongfu entered the room and thanked her. She didn't pay attention to the furnishings in the room, but lowered her head uneasily, thinking about everything that happened before, thinking carefully, Mr. When I came back, I changed all my clothes.
Why change clothes?Could it be that the patient vomited all over?
Lu Dongfu bit her lip, feeling more and more that the husband was not telling the truth, and it was unfathomable. She was a little sad. After taking a bath, she lay on the bed, tossed and turned a lot, and fell asleep after a long time.
And Qi Zhongyu had already returned to the uninhabited courtyard, she pushed open the door of the guest room, and continued to heal the unconscious Tan Haoran.
After a quarter of an hour, the trauma on Tan Haoran's body no longer bleeds out. After all, it was prepared by her own hands. The effect is very good. Don't worry about the trauma. It will heal after a while, but the internal injury can't be delayed, even if it is cured It will also leave hidden dangers.
She sighed, turned the patient on the bed over gently, put her hands on the other's back, and used her internal force to heal the other's injuries.
Tan Haoran's injuries were serious, and his life was dying. He had to be careful not to make a mistake, otherwise he would die immediately.
Qi Zhongyu grasped the speed of the treatment, and fed Tan Haoran a lot of pills during the period, and finally stopped until dawn. Her forehead was already covered with sweat, and her body temperature had risen a lot. Let her get used to it. She felt a little uncomfortable with the cold body temperature.
She turned the patient over and lay down, covered with a thin quilt, and saw that although Tan Haoran's face was pale, he was screaming.
After the suction had stabilized, he walked to the side stool and sat down.
She is a little tired now, she hasn't slept all night, and she has used too much internal energy to heal her wounds, she is weak like she hasn't felt in a long time.
She felt that the toxicity in her body was about to move again. Normally, she was in good health, but once the situation like this happened, the toxicity would recur, making her neither human nor ghost, suffering in excruciating pain.
She hurriedly took a few homemade pills and meditated on the spot to repair the lost internal energy. After more than an hour, she felt hungry, so she went out to buy some and came back early.
While eating, Tan Haoran woke up.
He was still a little confused, he didn't know what happened, he could only vaguely see a person sitting on a stool not far from the bed, the other person was eating, the smell in the room was surging, Tan Haoran gulped down his saliva.
Qi Zhongyu turned his head when he heard the voice, and when he found that the person woke up, he put down his breakfast, stepped forward to feel his pulse, opened his eyelids to look at him, and said, "The situation is much better. Haoran, how do you feel?"
Hearing a familiar voice, Tan Haoran suddenly woke up. Everything that happened last night flashed in front of his eyes one by one like a comic book. He said furiously, "Someone betrayed me!"
Qi Zhongyu had already guessed this before, after all, she got more information from her second uncle, and knew that the remnants of the Demon Sect were just a cover, and she thought Tan Haoran was safe before.
Who would have thought that in less than a day, the other party's life was in danger.
And it's not the power of the government, but the people in the rivers and lakes, which is strange. Huainan Road said it was not big, but it was not small. How did the other party know that Tan Haoran was hiding in Siyuan County, and he was also hiding in Dongjie?
The most reasonable explanation is that an inner ghost appeared beside Tan Haoran and leaked the news.
She helped Tan Haoran get up slowly, passed the breakfast over, and said: "No matter what happens, you have to have breakfast first, you have lost a lot of blood and suffered internal injuries. Although I have treated you for most of the time, the next paragraph Every day, you must take good care of it, and you can't make life difficult for your body."
Tan Haoran nodded with difficulty, but he really had no strength in his body, and he couldn't even lift a spoon, so Qi Zhongyu could only help him and feed him breakfast.
After breakfast, Tan Haoran took a deep breath before talking about the experience of last night.
He said in a gloomy tone: "Last night, I negotiated with Guardian Right to leave Siyuan County during the Mid-Autumn Festival. If we continue to delay, it will become more difficult to leave Huainan Road."
"Originally, we made an appointment to leave at Xu time. At that time, it was almost the time when the villagers from all over the country were ready to go home after entertainment. We dispersed and mixed in the crowd, so there would be no suspicion. When we left Siyuan County, Just take the small road in the village, or the wild mountain road, leave Huainan Road, and when we get to Shannan Road, there will be a branch of the Xinrijiao who can come to meet us."
Qi Zhongyu also knew that the influence of Xinrijiao was mainly distributed in Henan Road and Shannan Road, and there was not much influence in Huainan Road.
Qi Zhongyu asked: "Can't people from the Xinri Sect come to Huainan Road to pick you up?"
Tan Haoran shook his head and said: "No, when Guardian Right took me away from the imperial court's pursuit, he didn't tell the other believers where we were fleeing, so they didn't know where we were now. In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, we There is no way to get the message out."
"The best way is to wait for nearly ten people and leave quietly, but I didn't expect..."
This street market is even more lively than the previous Huadeng Street, with crowds of people rubbing shoulders, and the air is filled with the smell of various snacks.
Some are spicy and pungent, some are sweet and attractive, and there are also melon and fruit snacks. There are many kinds, and most of them look delicious.
However, Qi Zhongyu and Lu Dongfu had dinner at the restaurant not long ago, and they were not hungry yet, so they only bought a pack of popcorn, and watched while walking, eating a popcorn from time to time, not to mention how leisurely they were.
After walking for a while, Qi Zhongyu raised his eyebrows, and found that there were a lot of lanterns hanging behind the snack street where there were fewer people, but the style was not as good as those in the lantern market, but it was not bad.
And after careful observation, it is found that the lanterns here can be purchased without guessing charades, and can be purchased directly.
If she had known this, she would have brought Lu Dongfu here just now, thinking about those puzzles on Lantern Street, her head was getting dizzy.
Lu Dongfu also noticed this. She looked at a family of three not far away. It was a young couple with a daughter who was about five or six years old.
They stood in front of the shelf full of lanterns, the little girl tugged on her father's clothes and said coquettishly, "Daddy, I want lanterns."
The young father smiled and picked her up, so that she could have a panoramic view of all the lanterns on the shelf, and said, "Okay, Daddy will buy it for you, which one does Ruru like?"
The girl cheered when she heard the words, and carefully looked around among the various lanterns, and finally chose a lantern full of rabbits.
The girl and her mother standing on one side shook her head helplessly at the father and daughter, took out her purse from her arms, and asked the shopkeeper, "How long ago is this lantern?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Twenty Wen."
The child's mother gasped, "So expensive? In the past, it was only ten cents."
The shopkeeper said: "Guest officer, you don't know that the patterns of today's lanterns are all drawn by the students of the official school. The pen and ink of their scholars are worth a lot of money."
"And you see, the workmanship and pattern of this lantern are not comparable to those in the past. It is a little expensive, but it is worth the money."
"What's more, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Since the child likes it, it's okay to spend a little money. Just think of it as buying something happy and celebrating it. It can be hung in the house after returning home. How beautiful it is."
The shopkeeper kept talking about the benefits, but the child's mother was still a little hesitant. She glanced at the father and daughter and saw that both of them were looking at her with puckered mouths. She felt even more helpless, gritted her teeth and paid the money. The father and daughter cheered.
They leaned in front of the child's mother and complimented them enthusiastically. The little girl also handed the lantern to the mother. The mother looked at the beautiful lantern and finally looked a lot better. The family of three looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Lu Dongfu watched the whole process, and felt very envious. She was born with bad luck and did not reincarnate into a good family, but she still has a chance. She can give birth to children for Qi Zhongyu. People can come to the night market together.
At that time, she will definitely buy more beautiful lanterns for the children generously to make the children happy.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Qi Zhongyu, and found that Qi Zhongyu had been looking at her quietly before, with a complicated expression on his face, she couldn't tell, it seemed to be sad, and it seemed to be breaking the boat.
An ominous premonition arose in Lu Dongfu's heart, and she forced the corners of her mouth to curl up, pretending that she didn't understand the other person's expression.
She smiled and said, "If I had known there were lanterns that could be bought here, we would have just come here directly."
Qi Zhongyu lowered his eyes, and said lightly: "The lanterns I got by guessing riddles have a different meaning. Do you want more lanterns? I can buy you the best one."
Lu Dongfu was startled when he heard the words, and laughed sincerely, and said: "My husband really spends a lot of money, a lantern looks good, why buy the best, what money is there, it's better to buy more Practical stuff
West. "
Qi Zhongyu grunted, and said: "That's right, I feel a little hungry, let's go to the next snack street and buy some snacks to try."
Lu Dongfu cheered up when he heard the other party's tone, and said with a busy smile, "Okay, let's go."
The two of them walked towards the snack street opposite, both of them had something on their minds, but they lost the former ease and joy.
And in a dark alley not far away, a thin man asked, "Is your source really reliable? Are the remnants of the Demon Cult hidden in this small town?"
The other person was hidden in the darkness, and said in a calm voice: "Believe it or not, anyway, the government and King Kang offered a reward of 10 taels of silver. As long as someone can catch a few leaders of the Demon Cult, no matter what Life or death, you can get this money. For the rest of your life, you will be able to enjoy endless blessings by rewarding money... And because of this, most of the people in the Jianghu have come to Huainan Road. I will share with you the news of Qianjin."
The thin man believed most of it now, he smiled and said: "I still look forward to Brother Han Haihan, I have been investigating for several months, but there is no result, it makes people discouraged, and their temper has become uncontrollable, I am here to apologize to Brother Han. I don’t know if Brother Han has more accurate information, for example, where are the remnants of the Demon Cult hidden in Siyuan County? After all, although this is a small county, there are thousands of people living here. Every household, if you look for them one by one, the day lily will be cold."
The man in the dark sneered and said, "It's really greedy, but I do have definite news. According to the information I got, they are hiding on the East Street. It just so happens that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is no event to attract people on the East Street." activities, so it is very quiet now, which is suitable for us to sneak into it and capture the remnants of the Demon Cult in one fell swoop."
The thin man laughed loudly and said, "Okay! Thanks to Brother Han, you have even found out such a detailed location, so let's not waste any more time, and hurry over now, lest the cooked ducks fly away gone."
The man called Brother Han finally came out from the shadows. He is a middle-aged man in his early forties, handsome and extraordinary, with a half-length beard on his thin chin. From the feeling of a foreigner, he is indeed a martial arts master.
The tall and thin man he was talking to seemed to be about his age, but his facial features were ordinary, even a little wretched.
However, since the two have a good relationship, it means that they share the same taste and belong to the same breed. The two looked at each other, and then they used their lightness skills and hurried towards the direction of Dongjie.
And Qi Zhongyu, who was eating delicious snacks, didn't know anything about it. She was wandering around the snack street with her own wife.
After eating several kinds of delicacies, the two also passed through the snack street and came to a small river about 50 meters wide. After walking a few steps forward, there was a bridge built of stones on the river.
From time to time, small boats pass by under the bridge, dangling towards the more lively West Street, because the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting is being held in West Street, and students from other places also come here to participate in this grand event. In addition, there are Watching the lively crowd, so you can see the crowds of people only from a distance.
Lu Dongfu couldn't help standing on the bridge, standing on tiptoe and looking over there, Qi Zhongyu suggested, "Would you like to go and have a look?"
Lu Dongfu's eyes lit up, and she said, "Is it possible?"
Qi Zhongyu responded and took her hand. At this time, no one was staring at them deliberately, and Lu Dongfu was reluctant, so he didn't let go of her cold hand.
She was led by Qi Zhongyu down the bridge and came to a ferry where the boats were moored. She hired a small boat with some money, and Qi Zhongyu ordered the boatman to go to the place where the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Fair was held.
The boatman is a talkative old man, although his hair is gray, but he is full of energy, and he enthusiastically tells them about the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting in previous years.
Because of this, Qi Zhongyu learned a little more about the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Fair, but this grand event for literati didn't make her much interested, because she... didn't understand.
She's not one to join in the fun, if Lu Dongfu didn't want to see it, she would rather take Lu Dongfu to the Lantern Street for a stroll.
boat row
The speed is not fast, but it can’t be called slow. After traveling for a certain distance, the river becomes wider and wider, and finally comes to the famous Qinghu Lake in Siyuan County. When you arrive here, there are more boats coming and going, all passing through the water system extending in all directions. Come and watch the lively civilians.Real students and important people from the county had already gathered on the most dazzling official boat on the lake.
Although they can't get too close, they can hear what's going on inside. Qi Zhongyu has excellent hearing, although he can't understand, he also knows that there is a literary fight inside, and the fight is very lively.
She recounted it word by word to Lu Dongfu, and Lu Dongfu could barely understand a few words, and then looked at her husband in a daze, eyes full of admiration, as if those beautiful articles were written by him.
Qi Zhongyu's face became hot when she saw it, but he still patiently relayed it to her. Even the boatman sat in the bow and listened carefully.
She pricked up her ears and listened for half an hour. She didn't pause until she felt the weight on her shoulders. When she lowered her head, she saw that Lu Dongfu had fallen asleep leaning against her.
Qi Zhongyu: ...
Dumbfounded, she hugged the little girl in her arms so that she could sleep more comfortably, and said to the boatman, "Let's go around Qinghu Lake."
To be honest, the feeling of floating on the boat is quite comfortable, and it is not surprising that Lu Dongfu would fall asleep after getting up early today and walking such a long distance.
But she didn't sleep for long, opened her eyes and found herself lying in Qi Zhongyu's arms, thought she was on her own bed, rubbed Qi Zhongyu's arm coquettishly, and murmured: "Morning Mrs.
Qi Zhongyu couldn't help laughing, and said, "Morning, do you want to continue sleeping?"
Lu Dongfu snorted, and finally realized something was wrong, her body seemed to be swaying, she got up suddenly, and found herself on the boat, then remembered what she was doing before, and almost covered her cheeks in shame.
She blushed and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiang, I just fell asleep for some reason."
Qi Zhongyu stroked her sleepy forehead hair behind her ears, and said, "It's okay, just have fun during the holidays, and don't worry about these trifles."
Lu Dongfu glanced at the boatman. Fortunately, the old man was well-informed, so he didn't say anything, but asked Qi Zhongyu, "Guest officer, do you want to go around the Qinghu Lake again?"
Qi Zhongyu was about to ask Lu Dongfu for his opinion, but Lu Dongfu said nervously, "Have I slept for a long time?"
Qi Zhongyu shook his head and said, "It's only been half an hour. The lake is not that big, and it just happened to turn around."
Lu Dongfu breathed a sigh of relief, yawned uncontrollably, rubbed her eyes and said, "Master, let's get off the boat and go home, it's getting late..."
Qi Zhongyu thought about it, he really had a good time today, he also visited Huadeng Street and Snack Street, and even swam in the lake, it's getting late, it's time to go home.
So she responded and ordered the boatman to go back to the shore. Seeing that the crowds around had dispersed a lot, but the official boat in the lake hadn't finished yet, and she didn't know how long it would take Wendou. Putting the question aside, he led Lu Dongfu, who was still a little confused after waking up, towards the city gate.
They didn't go back the same way, but went to the city gate from another market, because there were still a lot of people on the snack street, which was a bit too noisy for them who had had enough fun.
There were not many people on this street, they walked slowly in twos and threes, holding lanterns in their hands.
Most of Qi Zhongyu's and the others' lanterns were left to the boatman, leaving only two, Qi Zhongyu and Lu Dongfu each.
Qi Zhongyu noticed that Lu Dongfu rubbed his eyes again, handed the lantern in his hand to Lu Dongfu, lowered himself down and said, "I'll carry you on my back, I think you're going to fall asleep walking."
Lu Dongfu blushed, pouted and said coquettishly, "For some reason, I'm just sleepy."
Qi Zhongyu has also encountered this kind of situation before. He didn't get enough sleep at night, and after sleeping during the day, he woke up again, and he was in a state of confusion and ignorance.
She couldn't help but tapped the tip of Lu Dongfu's nose, and said, "Since you're sleepy, don't force it. I'll carry you on my back faster. When I get home, I have nothing to do tomorrow. You can sleep until noon."
get up. "
Lu Dongfu nodded at her, smiled sweetly, stretched her arms and lay on Qi Zhongyu's body, being carried on her back.
The familiar cold fragrance rushed towards her face, Lu Dongfu couldn't help sniffing at the back of Qi Zhongyu's neck, she was too close, her breath sprayed on Qi Zhongyu's skin, Qi Zhongyu was so clever that he almost dragged her off and threw her away to hand it up.
Fortunately, the trembling feeling dissipated quickly, so she didn't do anything that she regretted.
She dodged and said, "Don't, don't get too close to my neck, it's uncomfortable."
Lu Dongfu was taken aback when she heard the words, and thought in a daze that the last time she combed Xianggong's hair, it was done well, but when she touched the back of Qi Zhongyu's neck, the other party stood up in a big reaction, and said that there was no need to comb.
It's the same today, she just leaned over to sniff, and the other party almost fell to the ground.
Lu Dongfu snorted, and suddenly realized that she had found Qi Zhongyu's weakness, and she couldn't help laughing out loud.
Qi Zhongyu didn't know what she was having fun with, but she was happy, so she was happy too, and the two of them walked towards the city gate in a relaxed mood.
But the good times didn't last long. They had just walked for a while when they encountered a group of people running madly in their direction.
There were quite a few people, and some of them were disheveled and looked very embarrassed.
Qi Zhongyu frowned, what's going on?
She looked in the direction of the crowd, and saw a puff of smoke rising not far away in the dark night, and there was still a faint light of fire.
Is it on fire?
Qi Zhongyu didn't know much about Siyuan County, and was placed at the nearest ferry by the boatman just now, so he didn't know where he was now.
Naturally, he didn't recognize it. The direction of the fire was the place where Tan Haoran and others lived on East Street.
Lu Dongfu was frightened by the people running away in a panic, so she came to her senses completely, patted Qi Zhongyu on the shoulder, and said, "Master, put me down, let's stand on both sides of the road and see what happened."
Qi Zhongyu responded, and carried her to the side of the street to stand firm before placing Lu Dongfu on the ground.
After the crowd ran for a certain distance, they realized that they were safe, and then they calmed down their shortness of breath exhaustedly.
Some people were making a lot of noise, Qi Zhongyu pricked up his ears and listened for a while, and found that some of them didn't know what happened, they only vaguely heard someone running over, saying that it was on fire, and they ran together in fear of death.
After running here, looking at the direction of the thick smoke, he dragged people to ask what happened with lingering fear.
Among them, there was an insider who said with a pale face: "Killed! Killed! I saw with my own eyes, many people died, and several people were fighting, and the sky was smashed. Immediately afterwards, I smelled thick smoke The smell, the house was on fire, and I was afraid of being killed, so I hurried out."
When the words fell to the ground, not only Qi Zhongyu's expression froze, but all the people present who heard the words were silent for a moment, and stammered, "No, it's impossible, our Siyuan County, yes, is famous for its Taiping, how come , how is it possible that someone killed someone?"
Others also echoed, but the fire is definitely not a fake.
Lu Dongfu grabbed Qi Zhongyu's arm uneasily, Qi Zhongyu said a few words to comfort her, "This matter has to be dealt with by the government itself, it has nothing to do with us, let's take another route."
Lu Dongfu nodded. She was also afraid of what might happen if she stayed any longer, so she followed Qi Zhongyu and crossed the alley to go to another street.
However, when Qi Zhongyu first stepped into the alley, he seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly reached out his hand to stop her behind, saying, "It's too dark here, let's go another way."
Lu Dongfu glanced at the alley in confusion. Although there were no lanterns to illuminate it, today was the Mid-Autumn Festival and the moon was high, barely able to illuminate most of the alley.
It's just that Xianggong said so, so naturally she has her reasons, and Lu Dongfu didn't refute, and was going to go another way with Qi Zhongyu.
However, at this moment, she heard someone speaking, the other party's voice was hoarse and weak, and said with hope: "
Is it Zhong Yulang? "
Zhong Yulang?
Who is that?
Lu Dongfu thought suspiciously, and somehow felt that the name sounded familiar.
After thinking about it, she realized that the name was somewhat similar to that of her husband, but even if they did, they were not the same person.
Lu Dongfu thought that this person must have admitted the wrong person, but hearing his voice seemed very uncomfortable, as if he had a serious illness.
Just as she was thinking, Qi Zhongyu in front of her suddenly said: "My lady, wait for me by the side of the road for a while, I will send this person to the hospital and I will come back."
Lu Dongfu originally wanted to go with her, but she realized that she was walking slowly and would definitely not be able to keep up with the husband's pace, so she nodded and said obediently, "Okay, I'll wait here for the husband to come back."
Qi Zhongyu said: "Not here, go and stay in the crowd, I will come back to find you soon."
Lu Dongfu responded, but still saw him walking into the alley, and in the darkness, picked up a tall and thin man on his back, and waved to her, before she turned and walked into the crowd.
As for Qi Zhongyu, the moment she turned around, she quickly used her lightness kung fu and led her into another dark alley. She said, "Hao Ran, what happened? Why do you..."
The person who stopped her just now was none other than Tan Haoran. At first Qi Zhongyu thought he had heard it wrong, but it wasn't until he squinted his eyes that he realized it was indeed him.
There was a strong smell of blood on his body, she smelled it when she first stepped into the alley, and thought it was some other desperadoes, that stopped Lu Dongfu from going forward.
But did not expect ...
She couldn't let him go, and when she reached out to lift him up, she touched thick blood, which seemed to flow a lot.
It's no wonder that when she heard the other party's weak voice, she almost couldn't tell it was her good friend Tan Haoran.
After she asked, Tan Haoran did not get a reply. Although Qi Zhongyu was anxious, he knew that there were priorities, and it was more important to heal Tan Haoran first.
She took out the wound medicine for healing from the purse she carried with her, because she had many enemies in the past, and although her martial arts were strong, she was sometimes injured, so when she went out, she would always prepare some gadgets, which had formed got used to.
Although there was no chance to use it in Yuehe Village this year, it came in handy at this moment.
Taking advantage of the moonlight above her head, she easily tore off the clothes on Tan Haoran's body that had been cut by the sharp knife, exposing the other's blood-stained chest.
His body was covered with scars, two of which were extremely deep, if the other party exerted a little more force, Tan Haoran would have died on the spot.
Tan Haoran coughed suddenly, and spit out a big mouthful of blood. She looked solemn, felt the pulse of the other party, and found that the other party not only suffered skin trauma, but also suffered serious internal injuries. This is not something ordinary people can do, at least It is also done by the masters in the martial arts.
Because Tan Haoran was weak when he was young, and he was supported by two outstanding older brothers, Tan Xiutong did not force him to practice martial arts, so he was the only member of the Tan family who did not practice martial arts, and he was not much different from ordinary people. Against martial arts masters, the only thing to do is to be beaten.
It should be said that the other party was lucky, and escaped with such injuries.
He was also lucky enough to meet Qi Zhongyu who passed by that road. If he met other people, he must have been publicized long ago.
And his body was seriously injured. If he was delayed any longer, he would turn into a cold corpse within an hour.
Fortunately, he didn't deserve to die.
Qi Zhongyu regards him as a good friend, so she won't let him go. After she diagnosed him, she found that the injury on his body was much more serious than she imagined. Although she temporarily stopped the bleeding for him, she had to find a quiet place to help him recuperate. Internal injuries do.
Although this is an inaccessible alley, it is also outdoors. If someone finds out, it will be even more troublesome.
After thinking about it, she gave Tan Haoran a pill, which could temporarily stabilize his heart.
She jumped on the roof and looked around, and finally found a room that was temporarily unoccupied.
Judging from the dust in the house, the yard has not been lived in for several days, and it is suitable for Tan Haoran to hide and recuperate here.
She turned back, carried Tan Haoran on her back, took him to the yard, put him on the bed, and simply bandaged the wound.
Thinking of Lu Dongfu still waiting for her on the street, Lu Dongfu is a silly girl, if she doesn't go back, the other party will stand there waiting for her, and she will be thinking wildly with fear.
She wanted to go back, put Lu Dongfu in a good place, and then come back to treat Tan Haoran's internal injuries.
Although he knew that the other party couldn't hear what she said, Qi Zhongyu still whispered in Tan Haoran's ear: "I'll go out for a while and I'll be back soon. This place is safe for the time being. You can rest assured to wait for my return."
Tan Haoran passed out and didn't respond to her, she didn't care, and set off to go back to the market just now.
When he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he slowly noticed that his blood-stained hem was accidentally stained when she left Tan Haoran on her back, but Tan Haoran was bleeding so much that he rubbed her hem everywhere It's all blood, there should be more blood on the back.
What she was wearing today was the new clothes that Lu Dongfu sewed for her before, and she thought sadly: After wearing it once, she can't wear it again.
And she couldn't go to find Lu Dongfu like this, it would definitely frighten the timid lady, and arouse other people's attention and suspicion.
Qi Zhongyu couldn't stand the suspicion of others, so he turned around and searched for a few men's clothes in the bedroom in the courtyard, and picked out one of the same color to wear on his body. The size was a bit small, but it was barely passable, so she also Not picky anymore.
She practiced lightness kung fu and went back to the street just now, and saw that the lady was still standing in the crowd, together with a few young women, listening to them talk about today's shocking news, with a look of fear and worry on her face, The women who spoke comforted her gently.
Qi Zhongyu thought: the last time at the city gate was the same, Lu Dongfu had a good conversation with the aunt who had never met before, this may be Lu Dongfu's special ability, her pure and harmless temperament can be quickly accepted by others, In addition, she is good at listening, so she can get useful information without much effort.
When she stepped forward, Lu Dongfu's eyes lit up, and she said worriedly, "Sir, that man..."
Qi Zhongyu hugged her suddenly, interrupted what she was going to say next, and said, "Lady, I'm worried about you to death."
The women who were chatting with Lu Dongfu just now had narrow smiles on their faces when they saw this, and one of them said, "Lady of the Lu family, this is your husband."
Lu Dongfu was not used to getting close to Qi Zhongyu in front of others, her face was so red that it was bleeding, and she didn't even pay attention to what Qi Zhongyu said just now.
Qi Zhongyu let go of her, and said to the group of young women: "I am her husband-in-law, what happened today, and it's getting late, I have to go home as soon as possible, please forgive me."
She combed her hair today, put on pretty makeup, her appearance is very attractive, coupled with her gentle and polite attitude, the young women couldn't help but blushed, waved their hands and said it's okay, and watched the couple leave, feeling envious in their hearts The girl who chatted with them just now.
After walking a certain distance, Lu Dongfu remembered the seriously ill passer-by, and asked, "Sir, how is that man? What did the doctor say?"
Qi Zhongyu paused, and said nonsense: "The doctor said that he is seriously ill and needs to be taken care of carefully. It's a pity that he is a passer-by and has no relatives or friends in Siyuan County. The gangsters robbed them all, and it is very pitiful now...so I plan to take care of him for a few days."
When Lu Dongfu heard the first half, she was still pitying what happened to that man, but when she heard the last sentence, she let out a bewildered eh.
She knew that she knew Xianggong very well. From her point of view, Xianggong was not a warm-hearted person. Apart from his gentle attitude towards relatives, he was very indifferent to outsiders. Many people in the village were afraid of him, which was also partly related to his cold temper. .
However, such a gentleman is going to extend a helping hand to a passer-by whom he has never met before, and will take care of him himself for a few days!
Could it be that the man was really very sick?
But no matter how you think about it, it's weird
.
Qi Zhongyu also felt that something was wrong, and remedied: "To be honest, that person... looks somewhat similar to my old friend. My old friend has been weak since he was a child, and he was only weak. He died of a serious illness. I saw him today. That person reminded me of my old friend, so..."
Lu Dongfu nodded hesitantly. Although this sounded reasonable, Lu Dongfu still felt that it was against harmony.
She didn't want to figure out what was wrong, so she asked Xianggong: "Then Xianggong will go home tonight, and come over to take care of him tomorrow?"
Qi Zhongyu said: "I plan to go back and continue to take care of him later, so I won't go back to the village today. I don't feel relieved if you go back alone, so I will take you to the second brother's house now, and you will stay there for one night until dawn tomorrow. If I go home again, I should stay in the clinic for a few days. If the second uncle asks, you just say...just say that I have something to go out. "
Lu Dongfu felt even more strange, why did he lie to the second uncle, the second uncle is obviously a close and reliable elder, maybe he can help the passer-by.
She bit her lips and hesitated to speak, but Qi Zhongyu was pressed for time and couldn't explain to her in detail, so he picked him up and quickly arrived at the gate of Qi Anye's house with light work, and personally watched her step into the courtyard gate, ignoring the other party's instructions, He turned around and left quickly.
Lu Dongfu originally wanted to say a few more words to Xianggong, but Xianggong disappeared in the blink of an eye. Lu Dongfu could only sigh in dismay, and went to the main room to tell his second sister-in-law that he would stay here for a night.
The second elder brother, Qi Anye, was not at home. He was a wealthy businessman and celebrity in Siyuan County, and he was also a well-known Confucian businessman, so he was invited to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, and he probably would not come back until late at night.
The second sister-in-law Cheng stared at her for a while, and asked, "Why didn't Zhong Yu come with you? Did something happen to him?"
Lu Dongfu thought of what Xianggong said before, so she didn't tell the truth to the second sister-in-law, but improvised a lie, saying: "Xianggong met an old friend when he was swimming in the lake, so we had a drink with him, and I was very sleepy. , just told me to stay at my second brother's house for one night first, and he will come back naturally after he finishes his gathering with his friends."
The second sister-in-law Cheng raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, thinking that a withdrawn person like Qi Zhongyu would have friends in Siyuan County?
But she thought about it again, although Qi Zhongyu hadn't socialized with anyone this year, but in the past 20 years, he traveled all over the world, and naturally made some friends, so it's not surprising that he would meet by coincidence today.
After she figured it out, she shook her head with a smile and said, "That's how men are. With old friends and good wine, they forget everything. It's okay, it's getting late today, and it's not safe for you to go back to the village alone. Rest here with me."
She ordered the maids in the mansion to take Lu Dongfu to the guest room. Lu Dongfu entered the room and thanked her. She didn't pay attention to the furnishings in the room, but lowered her head uneasily, thinking about everything that happened before, thinking carefully, Mr. When I came back, I changed all my clothes.
Why change clothes?Could it be that the patient vomited all over?
Lu Dongfu bit her lip, feeling more and more that the husband was not telling the truth, and it was unfathomable. She was a little sad. After taking a bath, she lay on the bed, tossed and turned a lot, and fell asleep after a long time.
And Qi Zhongyu had already returned to the uninhabited courtyard, she pushed open the door of the guest room, and continued to heal the unconscious Tan Haoran.
After a quarter of an hour, the trauma on Tan Haoran's body no longer bleeds out. After all, it was prepared by her own hands. The effect is very good. Don't worry about the trauma. It will heal after a while, but the internal injury can't be delayed, even if it is cured It will also leave hidden dangers.
She sighed, turned the patient on the bed over gently, put her hands on the other's back, and used her internal force to heal the other's injuries.
Tan Haoran's injuries were serious, and his life was dying. He had to be careful not to make a mistake, otherwise he would die immediately.
Qi Zhongyu grasped the speed of the treatment, and fed Tan Haoran a lot of pills during the period, and finally stopped until dawn. Her forehead was already covered with sweat, and her body temperature had risen a lot. Let her get used to it. She felt a little uncomfortable with the cold body temperature.
She turned the patient over and lay down, covered with a thin quilt, and saw that although Tan Haoran's face was pale, he was screaming.
After the suction had stabilized, he walked to the side stool and sat down.
She is a little tired now, she hasn't slept all night, and she has used too much internal energy to heal her wounds, she is weak like she hasn't felt in a long time.
She felt that the toxicity in her body was about to move again. Normally, she was in good health, but once the situation like this happened, the toxicity would recur, making her neither human nor ghost, suffering in excruciating pain.
She hurriedly took a few homemade pills and meditated on the spot to repair the lost internal energy. After more than an hour, she felt hungry, so she went out to buy some and came back early.
While eating, Tan Haoran woke up.
He was still a little confused, he didn't know what happened, he could only vaguely see a person sitting on a stool not far from the bed, the other person was eating, the smell in the room was surging, Tan Haoran gulped down his saliva.
Qi Zhongyu turned his head when he heard the voice, and when he found that the person woke up, he put down his breakfast, stepped forward to feel his pulse, opened his eyelids to look at him, and said, "The situation is much better. Haoran, how do you feel?"
Hearing a familiar voice, Tan Haoran suddenly woke up. Everything that happened last night flashed in front of his eyes one by one like a comic book. He said furiously, "Someone betrayed me!"
Qi Zhongyu had already guessed this before, after all, she got more information from her second uncle, and knew that the remnants of the Demon Sect were just a cover, and she thought Tan Haoran was safe before.
Who would have thought that in less than a day, the other party's life was in danger.
And it's not the power of the government, but the people in the rivers and lakes, which is strange. Huainan Road said it was not big, but it was not small. How did the other party know that Tan Haoran was hiding in Siyuan County, and he was also hiding in Dongjie?
The most reasonable explanation is that an inner ghost appeared beside Tan Haoran and leaked the news.
She helped Tan Haoran get up slowly, passed the breakfast over, and said: "No matter what happens, you have to have breakfast first, you have lost a lot of blood and suffered internal injuries. Although I have treated you for most of the time, the next paragraph Every day, you must take good care of it, and you can't make life difficult for your body."
Tan Haoran nodded with difficulty, but he really had no strength in his body, and he couldn't even lift a spoon, so Qi Zhongyu could only help him and feed him breakfast.
After breakfast, Tan Haoran took a deep breath before talking about the experience of last night.
He said in a gloomy tone: "Last night, I negotiated with Guardian Right to leave Siyuan County during the Mid-Autumn Festival. If we continue to delay, it will become more difficult to leave Huainan Road."
"Originally, we made an appointment to leave at Xu time. At that time, it was almost the time when the villagers from all over the country were ready to go home after entertainment. We dispersed and mixed in the crowd, so there would be no suspicion. When we left Siyuan County, Just take the small road in the village, or the wild mountain road, leave Huainan Road, and when we get to Shannan Road, there will be a branch of the Xinrijiao who can come to meet us."
Qi Zhongyu also knew that the influence of Xinrijiao was mainly distributed in Henan Road and Shannan Road, and there was not much influence in Huainan Road.
Qi Zhongyu asked: "Can't people from the Xinri Sect come to Huainan Road to pick you up?"
Tan Haoran shook his head and said: "No, when Guardian Right took me away from the imperial court's pursuit, he didn't tell the other believers where we were fleeing, so they didn't know where we were now. In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, we There is no way to get the message out."
"The best way is to wait for nearly ten people and leave quietly, but I didn't expect..."
