223 I Came from the Sea (10)
At this time, when I looked closely, I found that the stone widow's face was dark red, her eyes were closed, and her teeth were clenched, as if she was still in pain. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ji Ran touched her pulse and said to Xiaoxi, "She is having a fever and needs to cool down." You go to the cellar and bring the strongest wine and wipe her down. ”
Xiaoxi agreed, and went to the basement, found the stone widow's most precious jar of wine, and carried it back.
Ji Ran withdrew from the door and stood guard in the courtyard.
Xiaoxi removed the stone widow's clothes and wiped them up and down with a handkerchief several times, until they were not so hot to the touch, and then stopped.
She changed the stone widow into clean clothes, covered her with a thin quilt, extinguished the oil lamp, and finally picked up the remaining half jar of wine and returned to the courtyard.
A cool night breeze blew in, making the creek very comfortable.
Ji Sang didn't know when he entered the courtyard and sat opposite Ji Ran.
He saw the wine jar in Xiaoxi's hand, rubbed his hands and stood up and said, "Xixi, give your uncle some wine in your hand, okay?"
Xiaoxi guarded the wine and refused to give it, "This wine is still useful, isn't it a waste to give it to you!"
"How come, uncle, give you something to change!" he took out a handful of things from his pocket, put them on the table, and picked out a few golden knives from them, "Three golden knives are given to you, as long as you have a bowl to satisfy your cravings, how about it?"
Xiaoxi glanced at him, didn't pay attention to the three golden knives at all, and hugged the wine jar and prepared to put it back in the cellar.
Ji Ran picked out a wooden bead tied by a rope from a pile of things in Jisang, and said to Jisang: "With this bead, I can give you wine." ”
Ji Sang looked at the beads, hesitated, he was a little reluctant.
Xiaoxi didn't know what was so special about the wooden beads, but when she heard what Ji Ran said, she couldn't help but take a look.
A small black bead is not eye-catching at all, and it is the size of the night pearl that Ji Ran gave her.
Jisang is reluctant to give, and she is not willing to change.
This jar of wine, even the stone widow does not know how many years it has been sealed.
That's why when you open it just now, you will have a rich aroma of sake.
When Ji Sang saw that Xiaoxi was about to disappear holding the wine jar, he hurriedly said, "Don't go!
He took the wooden beads in his hand, quickly rushed to Xiaoxi, grabbed the wine jar in his arms, and then stuffed the wooden beads into Xiaoxi's palm, and without waiting for her to say anything, he ran away.
The movement was so fast that Xiaoxi didn't react, she took the black bead in a daze, came to Ji Ran, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Do you know what kind of beads this is?"
"Of course...... I don't know!"
"This is a poison-repelling pearl, for half a jar of wine, you don't suffer. ”
"But that wine is still useful, and it is not ordinary precious. Wait a minute... You say it's a poison bead?"
In places where poisonous insects and mosquitoes are infested, where is the appetite important?
"This poison bead can only be used before it is poisoned, and if the poison has entered the body, it is useless. Shi Yu was poisoned and swallowed herbs again. It's the same with a slightly worse wine for her, as long as it doesn't burn, her body won't get in the way. ”
"Then you're going to get the strongest wine!"
"To cool down quickly, the stronger the wine, the better. But how did I know that you had such a good wine? The bamboo leaf green you poured for me at the beginning was almost the same as white water. ”
Ji Ran patted the seat beside him and motioned for Xiaoxi to sit down, "This bead can make the wearer invincible, but it is of little use to you." ”
Xiaoxi was about to sit down, but when she heard the second half of the sentence, she was about to jump up: "Are you playing with me?
A useless bead had replaced the stone widow's favorite wine, and when she woke up, she had to peel off a layer of the skin.
"Listen to me. It's useless to you, because the jade pendant I gave you can also prevent all kinds of poisons, and the two are used together, so there is no need. You wait for Shi Yu to wake up and give her the wooden beads, and she can't be happy. ”
Ji Ran took Xiaoxi's hand, explained to her, and then said: "The location of Shimen Town is too low, the situation is abnormal this year, we need to evacuate as soon as possible, which is probably the reason why Shi Yu went out to investigate." Now that we've got her back, it's time for us to pack our things. ”
Xiaoxi remembered what the stone widow said before going out, there should be a big flood after the drought, and Shimen Town is next to the Yellow River, and if it rises, the whole town may be submerged.
Pack up your things and flee, and you can only find the most valuable things to take with you.
The stone widow has lived here for so many years, and has accumulated a lot of things, but there are not many things of value.
The creek picks and chooses, and soon punches out a small baggage.
In addition to money, food and clothing are also essential, and you don't know when you will find a safe place when you go out, and you may not have food and water along the way.
Ji then came and gave them a jade bottle with enough water, but there was no way to put the food in the jade bottle.
When Xiaoxi was worried about the dried meat that had been gathered up, Ji Ran gave her a cloth bag and told her to rest assured.
She reached in and touched it, and soon reached the bottom of the bag.
Suspiciously, he put the bag-sized jerky inside, and found that when the jerky got in, it seemed to become smaller and shrunk in the corner of the cloth bag.
The brook happily swept the cellar and cellar almost empty, and there was still plenty of room for the sacks.
After tossing for most of the night, before dawn, Xiaoxi baked all the noodles in the house into cakes.
On the way, I went to see the stone widow, she woke up for a while, got up and drank a bowl of porridge, and fell asleep again.
After Xiaoxi had eaten and eaten, she was tired and sleepy, Ji Ran went out, and the stone widow was not well, so she lay down next to the stone widow and slept for a while.
By the time the day has passed, everything has been packed up and people have rested enough.
Ji Ran gathered several families that were still in the town together, and those who were willing to follow took them with them, and those who were unwilling to follow tried to persuade them to leave.
When it was completely hot at night, Ji Ran left Shimen Town with others.
The carriage was not large, and after the stone widow lay down curled up, there was only a little space left.
Xiaoxi, the blacksmith's youngest son and the carpenter's youngest daughter were crowded aside, Ji Ran and Ji Sang drove the carriage together, and the rest of the people followed behind.
Not long after leaving Jishi Mountain, I saw another group of refugees.
The carriage of the other party was extravagant, and the driver and the retinue on horseback who followed behind were all well-dressed.
It's just that the time spent running around is probably a little long, and the driver's face is a little anxious.
The two sides met in one place, Ji Ran stopped the carriage, and among the entourage on the other side, a sturdy young man rode forward and saluted: "Do you know if there is still flowing water in the Yellow River?"
Ji Sang replied: "You are late, the Yellow River has long been cut off. (To be continued.) )
