After all, we were on the same boat as them. That Jiang Xie has to come over and take a turn from time to time, and if he has something to say, he has to say a few words, and I start to think that he is ...... Isn't it interesting to Ping'er or Wenxiu? Ping'er is unlikely, so it may ...... But although he always picks Wenxiu to speak, and wants to learn kung fu with her, he doesn't see him have any misdemeanor and frivolous words, although his behavior is open-minded, he is not a prodigal child, and he is also very well-behaved.
And...... When I hadn't left Jia's house before, it was true that I had met and dealt with them a few times, but he hadn't seen Wenxiu at that time, and this couldn't be a reason for him to scuttle our ship.
As for me? First of all, I'm probably a few years older than him, and the way he looks at me is clearly not confused or affectionate.
Ping'er and Sister Qiao's fever finally subsided when it was dark that day, but people still couldn't get out of bed. I suddenly changed from the master to a little girl, feeding them all day long and delivering medicine, there is no other maid and servant on this boat except for the two mothers-in-law who cook and sweep, and we live on someone else's ship, how can we still put money for others to serve us? I didn't know that Wen Xiu knew a little bit about preparing * poison or something, of course, it didn't mean that she was going to dispense medicine to the people on this boat, but she instinctively checked the food and drink sent first, and then we could eat.
The weather was getting warmer day by day, and as we walked south, we saw that the weeping willows on the bank of the river were already green, and the long strips were dangling, swaying gently in the breeze, and a breath of spring came to our faces. The willow buds in the north are just beginning to emerge, but the south is already warm. I found the jacket in the box and changed the leather jacket from my body. On the third day, as soon as Ping'er's illness improved, he immediately struggled to get off the ground and refused to let me take care of him anymore. Sister Qiao is still lying there sick and listless because her health has not been very good. She asked to open the window to see the scenery on both sides of the strait, but I didn't agree. Although the wind is not cold, but after all, her illness is not cured, this is not a joke.
"This ship is very big, isn't it?" Sister Qiao said in a tone of admiration, "There are a lot of people on board. ”
"yes, a lot more than our original boat. ”
It turned out that there were more than a dozen people on that boat, including the people I brought with me and the boatman, and I haven't seen all the people on this boat, but I'm afraid there are no less than 100 people, right?
didn't open the window for Sister Qiao to look outside, she was angry and refused to drink medicine. Of course, if it was me, I didn't like to drink the sour and bitter Chinese herbal soup, and I even had a psychological disorder when taking medicine. But now, if you don't drink these bitter medicine soups, how can you get better?
Ping'er said a basket of good things, but she was very resolute, but she refused to drink.
"Okay...... Drink the medicine, let you watch it for a while, only for a while, and you have to wrap it tightly, you know? Don't just get a fever and a cold. ”
"I know!" Sister Qiao grinned, finally cooperated and drank the medicine, pinched her nose and screamed, Ping'er felt sorry for her, and quickly touched a piece of dim sum to cold her mouth, Sister Qiao hurriedly said: "Mother, open the window, open the window." ”
Ping'er hurriedly took the quilt and wrapped her whole body tightly, revealing only one head outside. I smiled and shook my head and opened the window a crack.
Some moist spring breeze blew in from above the river, and the thick medicinal gas in the house seemed to be blown away and diluted. Sister Qiao's sharp eyes saw the willow trees on the shore that were already green, and shouted in surprise: "Mother, the willows have sprouted!"
"yes, spring has arrived. I sat on the chair, looked out the window and looked back at Sister Qiao: "The south is warmer than the north, the willows sprout early, and the flowers bloom early." After Ping'an Prefecture, the peach blossoms should bloom. ”
"Mother, is it okay to open the window a little wider?" Sister Qiao began to inch in, her face was much better than the previous two days, and it seemed that her illness was half better. However, because of the fever, my lips were dry and there was a layer of skin on them.
"No, you take care of your illness, otherwise you still have to take those bitter medicines, and no one can help you eat them for you. I said, "When you're ready, how much do you want to see?" Do you have to watch it now?"
I straightened my face, and Sister Qiao was also depressed: "Oh...... I know. ”
I smiled slightly, thinking that her little appearance like a frosted eggplant was really cute, and I turned around and was about to close the window, when suddenly a face leaned over and smiled at me: "Hello, madam." ”
I was startled, took a half step back, pressed my hand to the place of my heart, and for a moment my breath was out of order.
"Jiang, Jiang Gongzi?" I took a deep breath before I felt relieved. Comfort yourself in your heart, don't be afraid, my heart is a healthy and good heart, and it doesn't matter if I am scared by such a little fuss.
"Well, it's my fault that I frightened Madame. ”
I shook my head: "Jiang Gongzi, don't be so scary next time." ”
"Yes, yes, I'll pay attention next time. ”
He just said that, but he never really wanted to correct it. This person is also really ...... It's too bad to play the cards.
"Our ship will dock in Baixia Town at night, and Baixia is also a big town. He introduced it very familiarly: "I stayed for one night when my senior brother and I passed through Baixia Town, and the sugar cakes here are better than those elsewhere, and the Wujia Restaurant in the east of the town
The rice wine is also better than anywhere else. Madam, would you like to disembark with us and try the snacks here?"
He said it was very tempting, but I couldn't agree: "No, I won't go, the child is not well yet, I have to stay and take care of it." ”
"Then, Brother Li can always go with us, right?" he asked again.
"Hmm...... You'll have to ask him. "Wenxiu's room has also been transferred, not far from us, just across an empty room. Living closer, we can take care of each other. But although I said so with Jiang Xie, I don't think Wenxiu would agree. Although Wenxiu is not very old, he is very calm and steady, and he should not be interested in these snacks or lively snacks he said.
"Okay, then I'll ask him!"
After he walked away, I closed the window, and Sister Qiao behind me asked curiously, "Mother, who is this person?"
It's really hard for me to answer the question: "Let's borrow someone else's boat to sit on, this is the owner's brother." ”
"He's looking for Aunt Wen Xiu...... "I looked at Sister Qiao, she obviously found that she had slipped away, but fortunately, Jiang Xie had already walked away, so she shouldn't have heard it." Sister Qiao bit her lip, looked at me with her eyes flickering, and found that I was not angry, and continued in a low voice, "Will Uncle Li get off the boat with him to play?"
This Uncle Li and Sister Qiao are obviously not used to shouting, after all, she knows that Wenxiu is a woman, so her uncle is not so sincere.
"This ...... I don't think I'll go. I said, "Don't think about it, you can't get off the boat anyway." If we borrow someone's boat, we should cause less trouble to others, and you're fine, and you're sick and taking medicine......"
Ping'er saw that Sister Qiao's expression was already aggrieved, and hurriedly said, "Miss Qiao, let's rest for a while, are you thirsty?"
Sister Qiao lay back again, shrunk into the quilt and shook her head: "I'm not thirsty." ”
It seems that she is also stuffy when she is lying in bed, but even if she is not sick, she can't just get off the boat and play.
I asked Ping'er to lie down and rest again, but she refused, and finally just leaned there to rest. She also showed weakness after being sick, her dark circles came out, and her face looked pale.
We whispered, going around and around inevitably around the owner of the ship, Ping'er was as curious as I was, what was the identity of this person, but we could not find any eyebrows.
But to my surprise, Mr. Jiang passed by in front of our door again, knocked on the door with a smile and told me that Wenxiu agreed to go to the town with him for a drink at night.
I was really surprised, how could Wenxiu agree to him?
