27. Jin Rong
Huang Ting's cry in the room gradually became quieter.
The village chief's wife, who walked out of the house, had a sad face, and she didn't see the anger on her face just now.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and explained to Tang Qing and the others: "Since adopting this girl, there have been many disasters in the family, which was originally a good thing, but finally became like this. It can be seen that sometimes people just can't be too kind, the two of us looked at her pitiful at the beginning, and we came back with this curse, and as a result, we hurt our own son."
The village chief held her shoulder, leaned their heads against each other, and wiped tears from each other's eyes.
"How many sick people are there in the village?" Qi An leaned lightly against the car door and looked at the village chief and asked.
"At the beginning, there were only a few, and now there are more than a dozen. The village chief let go of his wife and held her hand tightly, his voice still a little choked.
"Except for the patients in your room, where are everyone else locked up?" Qi An continued to ask.
"Those who are sick are placed in wooden huts in the west of the village. This was organized by the villagers themselves, not by me. At first, I didn't agree, but there were so many of them that I couldn't control them. "The village chief is a little weak-hearted.
"Hehe, I don't mean anything else by asking, just to see what is going on in the village, I can help. I was young, but I was not abandoned by a few friends and was cited as a confidant. Recently, a friend from the apricot grove happened to pass by, so why don't you ask him to come and have a look. He has excellent medical skills, and the probability of curing this strange disease is quite high. Qi An smiled kindly at the village chief.
The village chief received some private school education in his early years, but he was still a rough person in the countryside in his bones, and he suddenly faced Qi An, who was in the beautiful scenery, and was nervously speechless.
The wife of the village chief on the side listened to Qi An's long list of words, and in the clouds, she only noticed the last sentence: It can cure strange diseases. She "snapped", knelt on the ground, and pleaded with Qi Yu: "You are nobles from the capital, you know a lot of people, save my son, save him, he is only thirteen years old, his life has just begun, he is the life of our husband and wife, as long as we rescue him, let me and his father do anything, we are already half-cut into the ground, this life is like this, but he can't, he can't die." ”
"Auntie, you get up first, alas, it is also a pity for the parents of the world. Don't worry, I'll send a message to my friend when I go back, so that he can come here and have a look. Qi An hurriedly helped her up.
Before leaving the door, the village chief and his wife wept and said thank you.
When the car had already driven out of Liwa Village, Qi Yu suddenly reacted: "Uncle, didn't you say that you took us out for a walk, and by the way to see the beautiful scenery of the village, we didn't see anything, so we just left." ”
"Don't worry, there are many opportunities to watch it in the future. Qi An curled his fingers and flicked his forehead.
"Later, but won't we go home in a few days?" Qi Yu rubbed the place where he was knocked.
"Xiao Yu, what do you think of Liwa Village?" Qi An suddenly asked.
"It's good, there are few people, and it's quiet, but whether this village is good or not has little to do with us. Qi Yu didn't care.
Qi An smiled and glanced at Tang Qing, who was concentrating on looking at the scenery outside the window: "By the way, Xiaoqing, I forgot to tell you if I have good news, your parents know that you are here, and they have already rushed here, and you will be able to meet in a few days." ”
"Really?" Tang Qing's eyes widened.
Qi An nodded.
Hearing such a surprise news at first glance, Tang Qing felt that she was about to faint happily, she hugged Qi An and Qi Yu excitedly, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth could not be taken back.
Qi An, who is rarely so close to others, was suddenly actively embraced by a soft creature, and the whole person was confused, and the roots of his ears were slightly pink. He coughed unnaturally, blocked his burning face, and turned his head to pull out the previous album.
It's just that he didn't keep his mind and didn't even bring gloves, so he just picked up the book and flipped it up randomly.
The two in the back seat are immersed in their own world: Tang Qing only cares about silly music, and Qi Yu also accompanies his friends to be happy. Neither of them noticed Qi An's abnormality, but the driver in the driver's seat was stunned when he saw him turning the page quickly, especially when he noticed that Qi An forgot to wear gloves, he couldn't help but stomp on his feet.
The result was, of course, a rush of hands.
The change in the speed of the car even Tang Qing, who didn't care about everything, noticed it. Qi An also quickly realized his abnormality. Startled, he put the album back in the box, his hands tracing the pattern of the vines on the box, and his face wandered into the world.
In this way, the four people in the car all looked like they had lost their souls, but fortunately, they arrived at the hotel safely in the end.
Until he got out of the car, Tang Qing had a fluttering feeling, and he bounced back to the room all the way.
"Xiao Yu. Qi An called Qi Yu, who wanted to go back to make up for sleep.
"Huh?" Qi Yu looked at him suspiciously.
"Er Xiaoqing, forget it, it's nothing, I'm just asking you two how to eat dinner by the way?" Qi An smiled.
"Dinner, aren't you going to the cafeteria for dinner?" Suddenly, Qi Yu had a flash of inspiration, "Uncle, are you going to take us out to eat?"
"Hey, go out to eat?" Qi An was stunned, "The food here is not to your liking?"
"It's not, it's just that I've been out for so long and I've been staying in a hotel. I went to Liwa Village today, and I didn't have a good time shopping. Uncle, you're going to take us out. Qi Yu smiled at Qi An with some flattery.
"It's not impossible to take you out, but you haven't asked Xiaoqing what she thinks, you can't let the two of us go out and leave her alone in the room. Looking at Qi Yu with a courteous face, Qi An couldn't cry or laugh.
There are basically no pedestrians on the road in Wanxin County in the evening, at this time it is about six o'clock in the evening, the sun is still hanging in the sky during the day, and the red fire clouds shine on the gray houses, which has a different kind of beauty.
Qi An took Tang Qing and Qi Yu on foot to find the restaurant.
Regarding going out to find a restaurant to eat at night, Tang Qing actually refused in his heart, but just as he was about to say no, Qi Yu put on an expression of an abandoned pet dog, and Tang Qing really couldn't refuse ruthlessly at that face. Especially when this thing looks so similar to a male god, when he makes these strange expressions, Tang Qing can't help but go up and tease.
The three of them went around the small county town three times, but they didn't find their destination.
"Uncle, where is the shop you mentioned, we've passed by here at least three times, you won't be lost. Qi Yu was already hungry.
"Be patient, it's a little hidden, but it tastes great. Qi An was full of confidence.
Just when Tang Qing, a road idiot, felt that the route was wrong, Qi An pulled them into a cloth shop that had just opened.
Outside the shop, there is an oak sign that reads "Red Cloth." At the entrance of the store, there is a thin board with the words: Jinrong. Whether it is the size of the store or the decoration, it looks like a very ordinary cotton cloth shop from the outside.
Qi An walked straight into the store, saw Qi Yu and Tang Qing still stunned in place, and waved to them: "Come in, that's it." ”
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man, and as soon as Qi An entered the door, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically: "Brother Qi, I haven't seen you for a long time, where have you been busy lately? How about today, it's still the same as last time, do you use the "twelve" one?"
"I've been running outside for half a year. Bring my nephew and my friend's daughter over today, and they will eat lightly, so let's use "eighteen". Qi An laughed, as bright as the moon.
For a moment, the people in the room were a little dizzy.
"Brother Qi, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and your demeanor is even worse. The boss joked, "It's a pity that I only have one son under my knees, and if I have a daughter, it would be nice to marry you." ”
"Fortunately, there is no daughter, the boss's paralyzed face is fierce enough, and she really wants to be inherited by her daughter," Tang Qing muttered in her heart.
Qi An's smiling face suddenly froze: "The children are hungry, I'll take them to eat first, there is no one in the "Qingzihao" where I used to sit, right?"
"Nobody, there have been too few guests lately, and this is your first order this week. The boss suddenly said with a sad face.
After a few simple greetings, Qi An took Tang Qing and them to the store. As soon as I walked in, it was still an ordinary courtyard, and I didn't see Qi An move any magical mechanism, just going around like this, and the vision suddenly widened, rows of houses, delicate and small, and there was a layer of gauze curtains hanging on the outside of each room.
Tang Qing and the others sat in the middle of the room, and the gauze curtain outside was very freehand: a picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix was painted on a pure white background. The elegant furnishings of the room: in the middle is a long case of moderate height, and the chairs and stools on both sides are made of black acid wood. The lighting in the house is all based on three Tang Dynasty white-glazed lotus petal candles placed in different places.
Walking from the humble outhouse into the exquisite private room everywhere, Tang Qing's eyes were a little insufficient: this place is really well hidden, it seems that the people living in this era cannot be underestimated.
Human beings are really amazing creatures, no matter what kind of situation they are in, what kind of fate they encounter, they can eventually find a way of life that suits them.
Qi An familiarly pulled out a drawer from the bottom of the ink-black case, and there was a stack of silk-covered cushions in the drawer, he took it out and put it on the table at will, and bent down to adjust the height of the seat for them: the bottom of the seat has three foldable parts, and reassembling it can increase or decrease the original 30 cm chair by 5 to 10 cm.
Qi Yu was tall, Qi An simply fiddled with it, and threw a mat to him: "Pretend to be yourself." ”
But after adjusting Tang Qing's seat, Qi An didn't let her stretch out her hand. His slender fingers deftly tied the ribbon in his hand to the chair, tied a beautiful knot, and carefully tucked the extra ribbon into the cushion.
It wasn't until he hugged Tang Qing to the chair that he sat down to rest.
