Chapter 25: Hidden in the City (3)
Early in the morning, a carriage carrying a cart of things stopped in front of the Lin Mansion on East Chang'an Street. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Anyone? We're guys from Qingxiang Department Store, and we're here to deliver something. The young man was holding a large basket full of fresh vegetables and was kicking the door with difficulty.
Lu Hexi ran to the gate with a glass of white water and opened the door, guarded the road and prayed for the New Year all night, and only came up from the ground at dawn, she estimated that there was a good show on the opposite side today, so she didn't want to sleep.
"Something delivered?" Miss Lin Fu, who hadn't slept all night and was unkempt, held a glass of boiled water, her dark circles were very deep, and her decadent appearance made the delivery boy stunned, and sneakily glanced twice into the yard, wondering why this was a maid to open the door? This maid is still so sloppy, I am afraid that she will be beaten by the master in a while.
"Yes, all the things ordered by your house have been delivered, they are all fresh, where do you think they are going to be sent?"
Lu Hexi glanced at the faint light in the courtyard from time to time, and yawned.
"Just put it in the door, and when you're done, you're good to go. "Let this guy send things inside twice, and the early warning device in this yard will be scrapped, so let's do it yourself."
The young man is happy, the shopkeeper is harsh, he can't eat enough on weekdays, where do you want to run a few more steps? Generally, to send things to large families is to walk a long way to send them to the kitchen, and a few families let them be put directly at the door, he really wishes that everyone was arranged like this.
"Gotcha!" the young man put the basket into the door and smiled at Lu Hexi.
People who do business talk a lot, especially the guys who walk the streets and alleys to deliver goods to big shopping malls, and the little guys are naturally indispensable.
"Your family is really good!"
"Because I didn't let you deliver it inside?" Lu Hexi has always been accurate in mending the knife.
The young man was not embarrassed, and when he put the things, he pointed to the mansion opposite the Lin Mansion, and said with a smile: "What you said, boy, this is the second time I have met a good person like you." Do you know the person across the street from your house?"
When he mentioned Zong Weilu, He Xi came to his senses, with a smile in his eyes, and asked, "Tell me?" My family just moved here, and I really don't know very well. As she spoke, she tossed the money in her pocket to the young man, "It's hard work, take it." ”
The young man was happier, and the conversation was even more chattering.
"Which one is opposite you, the kid has sent things seven or eight times, every time I only let the car park at the back door, someone inside comes out to pick up things, boy, I just have to sit in the car, I don't have to go down!" The young man suddenly became mysterious, and approached Lu Hexi as if he was going to tell a big secret, "Let me tell you, boy, I once saw a military master with a gun on his back in the courtyard!"
Lu Hexi thought it was a big secret, but it turned out to be this.
"There's a gun!" Lu Hexi's eyes widened, and he asked curiously, "Alas, did you say that those military masters also ate?
Lu Hexi is a fourteen-year-old girl with big eyes and a delicate and curious appearance that makes the young man feel a sense of pride from the bottom of his heart.
"Master Jun? Master Jun is also a human being, and he eats whole grains, but he likes to buy fish very much, and every time he sends it with live fish in a tank. ”
"Well, that's exquisite! What kind of fish are they?"
Speaking of this, the young man pouted his mouth and said with disdain: "Tell me that this big family doesn't all want to eat some yellow croaker and mandarin fish? These fish are delicious, how good they are! It's their family, every time they sell fish, they must be more than 30 catties of big grass carp, you say that the big grass carp meat is rough and not nutritious, it's really a quirk!"
Lu Hexi's eyes seemed to have a little starlight, and the corners of his red lips were slightly curled when he smiled, which made him even more smart and cute.
"Well, grass carp is really not delicious!"
The young man was stunned when he looked at that face, and he didn't realize that this little lady was so good-looking at first.
He nodded stunnedly and said to Lu Hexi: "That's okay, the things have been delivered, I'll leave first." ”
"Hey, you're busy, thank you!" Lu Hexi waved his hand, turned around and closed the door.
A large grass carp over 30 pounds?
She bent down to hold the cardboard box in her arms, and easily twisted the big vegetable basket on the ground, which these little men could only move when they were out of breath, but she easily moved it.
Lu Hexi carried a bunch of things larger than her around the wide front yard, obviously a straight road could get to the house, but she jumped around, raised her legs and arms from time to time, and danced in circles into the big house.
She went into the kitchen and sorted things, boiled black coffee on the small stove, fried three eggs, and fried a few slices of bread in butter.
She grew so big that she could only make sandwiches and potato salad, and besides these two, she could cook a porridge half-cooked. Bacon, eggs, lettuce leaves and mayonnaise, bread for sandwiches is fried in butter and smells good. The potato salad is garnished with emerald green broccoli and looks appetizing.
Breakfast was filled with three, and a glass of milk was poured for Lu Qinian, while Lin Xie was a cup of black coffee.
Lu Hexi entered the secret passage with a tray in one hand, and now that the other side is not in chaos, they can enjoy a breakfast quietly.
Lin Xie was holding a thermometer in his hand and watching under the lamp, Lu Qinian was lying on the bed, although his face was still pale, but he was smiling, not the kind of noble and generous smirk, but a gentle smile from the heart.
Lu Qinian's relaxation and comfort can be seen.
Lin Xie put the thermometer in his hand back into the alcohol cup, and turned to look at Lu Qinian, who was very happy and comfortable.
"What are you laughing at?" said a nobleman, grinning like a fool.
Lu Qinian leaned his head against the wall and laughed heartily, he didn't dare to laugh hard, as soon as he used force, the wound hurt.
"Lin Xie, do you know? In the past seven years, I have not slept as peacefully as I did last night, nor have I ever felt that life can be so easy. ”
Lin Xie also laughed and slapped Lu Qinian on the back of the head.
"Isn't that stupid? Lin Xie's words were a little emotional, and Lu Qinian's eyes were red when he heard it.
Lin Xie sat down next to him and asked, "I guess you are going undercover next to that old man, and this adventure for us to rob you out is because of your injuries, and if you don't heal again, you will die, right?"
Lu Qinian nodded.
"Yes, that's the only way to do it. ”
"Alright, don't think about these things here for a few days, rest and enjoy, I'm sure your sister will take care of you as a cripple. Lin Xie dragged over a tray with clean bandages and a few bottles of medicine in it, "Come, I'll change your dressing." ”
"You still speak so viciously, you are really like Uncle Lin!" Lu Qinian sat up with a force on his waist, compared to the state of blackening his eyes from time to time yesterday, he felt that it was much better now. But I didn't expect that when I exerted my strength, it hurt so much that my eyes turned black.
When he raised his head, he saw Lin Xie's face as black as the bottom of a pot, his green eyes were full of murderous energy, and then he saw his hands frozen in mid-air, as if he was going to help himself up.
Lu Qinian lowered his head in disdain, Lin Xie is older than himself, and he has always regarded Lin Xie as a big brother, and now it seems that he has done something wrong.
Lin Xie angrily ripped Lu Qinian's clothes open, and sure enough, the red blood spots on the white gauze on his waist were rapidly expanding.
"What is strong!" Lin Xie cut off the bandage with scissors, bent down and looked at the wound with tweezers.
Lu Qinian's face turned pale in pain, and as soon as he lowered his head, he could see a pair of tweezers turning his flesh and skin, and the red blood was still flowing out, which felt too real, and he could feel the cold feeling of the tweezers rubbing against the flesh in the wound.
"Lie down. Lin Xie held Lu Qinian and put him flat on the bed, put on white rubber gloves, and picked up the stitch needle in the iron box, "You can lie down for the next two days, and don't go out in this basement." ”
Lu Qinian smiled bitterly.
After the wound was stitched up, and the new medicine was replaced, Lin Xie took the gauze and wrapped it around Lu Qinian's waist. Lu Qinian couldn't move, so he could only lie on the bed and wrap gauze laboriously.
When Lu Hexi pushed the door in, she saw exactly this scene - her brother was lying on the bed, his face was pale, his expression was painful, his upper body was naked, and his two arms were weakly resting on Lin Xie's shoulders. And Lin Xie is lying on his brother's body with his upper body.
This scene seems a little ambiguous.......
