Chapter 8 Saving Lives
The dawn in August was exceptionally early, and the breakfast stall at the small east gate was set up after five o'clock.
There were shouts outside the window, and Chunsheng was bored when he heard it, so he simply didn't sleep. She sat up, tied a braid at the back of her head, went out and fetched a basin of hot water and put it on the chair, before she whispered to the back room.
"Miss, I'm out. ”
Su Qingwan propped up half of her body when she heard the sound and turned her head to look at her, her voice weak.
"Chunsheng, I'm fine. ”
Chunsheng hurriedly walked over and pressed her back to the bed, and reached out to carefully fold the quilt for her.
"The doctors said you had a fever, and that was a joke. ”
Su Qingwan smiled indifferently, "I know my own body." "As he spoke, he was about to get up. Chunsheng was a little angry, "Miss, you're like this again." ”
Su Qingwan was stunned for a moment, looked at Chunsheng quietly for a while, and had to lie back on the bed helplessly. "Okay, I'll listen to you. ”
Chunsheng smiled at this time, "Miss, lie down well, I'll go buy something to eat." ”
Su Qingwan nodded with a smile and watched Chunsheng come out of the house.
The sky was already bright, and the bustle outside the window was clear. Chunsheng was not there, but there was not even a sound in the house. Su Qingwan closed her eyes gently, and her face finally showed a little worry.
It's the fifth day, and it's the fifth day that she and Chunsheng have come to Shanghai, but the second brother didn't come as promised. She only knew that something must have gone wrong, but she didn't know where it was. She had only thought that the letter had arrived late, but now it seemed that there was another reason.
Su Qingwan frowned, feeling a slight itch in the depths of her throat, she raised her hand to cover her mouth and coughed twice, but felt that the stinging pain in her throat became more and more obvious.
"Miss, I bought rice cakes and soy milk. Chunsheng pushed the door and walked in, carrying two bags of things. Su Qingwan suppressed her cough, stared at the things in her hand, and endured the pain to speak.
"Chunsheng, what are you doing buying medicine?"
"Miss, if you are sick, you naturally have to take medicine, this is a truth that children understand. ”
Chunsheng took a hot towel from the basin to wipe Su Qingwan's hands, and then put the still hot soy milk into her hands. "Miss, drink it while it's hot. ”
Su Qingwan didn't move, and was silent for a while before asking. "Chunsheng, we're running out of money. ”
Chunsheng turned around and was busy cleaning up the table, his voice was slightly muffled, "There are still some" said Chunsheng suddenly turned his head and asked hesitantly, "Miss, then we ...... today" Are you still going?"
Su Qingwan relieved half of his strength and leaned towards the bedpost, thought for a while and replied, "Go." ”
Nanping Girls' School, located in the west of Jing'an District, is a well-known aristocratic school in Shanghai.
The second brother once mentioned in the letter that his sixth sister studied at Nanping Girls' School. He also said that his sister has a very good personality, cheerful and lively, and is easy-going, and if they can get to know each other, they will definitely become close friends.
Su Jinqiu.
Su Qingwan silently recited this name in her heart, whether she could find it or not, this was her last hope.
"Miss, is the sixth lady of the main family going to school here, this school looks so beautiful......" Chunsheng stared at the building in front of him and couldn't take his eyes off.
Su Qingwan nodded, "This school doesn't look like a Chinese-style building, but it's really good-looking." ”
At this moment, it was noon at the end of class, and young women came out of groups at the school gate. Chunsheng craned his neck to make a closer look, his eyes staring at the school gate without blinking.
"Miss, have you seen the sixth lady of the main family?"
Su Qingwan shook her head, if she remembered correctly, this sixth lady didn't seem to have grown up in Beiping.
As more and more people came out, the school gate was gradually filled with all kinds of cars and rickshaws, and Chunsheng pulled Su Qingwan to avoid the crowded crowd and stand in a place where there were fewer people. "Miss, you wait for me here, I'll go over and ask. Maybe someone knows Miss Six. ”
Su Qingwan raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, which were slightly dizzy, and nodded to Chunsheng. "Be careful, and come back when you're done. Chunsheng answered and walked away.
Su Qingwan stood in place and looked around quietly, and there was a happy and crisp conversation around her from time to time.
She followed the prestige past, they were two students who were studying in a girls' school, the woman on the left had short ear-length hair, playful and cute, and the long hair shawl on the right, looking gentle and lovely.
"Hasn't the housekeeper of the Gu Mansion come yet?" the short-haired woman seemed a little surprised.
The woman on the right sighed softly, her voice clearly complaining. "Today, the Gu Mansion is busy, the big man in my family is back, how can anyone take care of me. ”
"You just steal the fun, other people's families want to have this blessing, but they don't have it. The short-haired woman stared at her with wide eyes, but it was a tone of envy. The long-haired woman pouted and didn't say anything more, as if she didn't want to pay attention to her.
"Someone is coming to pick me up!" The short-haired woman turned her head, suddenly tiptoed and waved happily into the distance, and hastily explained to the right, "I'm leaving, Yun Xi." The woman who was called Yun Xi nodded and watched her go away.
After the short-haired woman left, the woman was in a somewhat depressed mood, she lowered her head and slowly walked in front of Su Qingwan, walking across the street.
Su Qingwan looked at her, and there was a vague sense of inexplicable closeness in her heart. The woman walked slowly, but it seemed that she had not seen the rickshaw moving fast not far away.
"Oops, hey!" the driver of the rickshaw called out to her, as if she couldn't hear her.
"Be careful!"
Su Qingwan subconsciously stepped forward and pushed her away, and at the same time, a heart-piercing pain suddenly hit the instep of her right foot, so painful that she could barely stand.
Gu Yunxi was frightened by this sudden event, she panicked and held on to the person in front of her who had never met but saved her, panicking.
"What's going on, you saved me, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?!"
Su Qingwan tightened her eyebrows, the dizziness in her head became even more severe, her face was so pale in pain that she couldn't support it anymore, and slowly fell backwards. Gu Yunxi couldn't hold her, and followed her sliding body to kneel on the ground, so anxious that she didn't know what to do.
"Wake up, don't scare me, you're okay! Wake up......"
"Miss!" Chunsheng rushed in from the periphery of the crowd in a hurry, and when he saw Su Qingwan lying unconscious on the ground, he was even more frightened and almost cried, "Miss! Miss, what's wrong with you!"
There are more and more onlookers, and the already congested streets are now crowded with people, and it is difficult for vehicles to move half a step.
"Zhou Yong, what's going on?"
The man who was resting in the back seat opened his slightly sleepy eyes and looked at the crowd in front of the car and asked. The man in the front seat leaned out before turning back and whispering in reply.
"Second master, it seems that there was an accident. ”
"Go check it out. ”
Gu Shaoting leaned his head back on the back seat and closed his eyes.
"Yes. Zhou Yong bowed his head slightly, turned around and got out of the car. Half a moment later, he returned to the car, but when he turned his head to report, he stopped talking.
Say. ”
"Second master, it seems to be the third lady"
Gu Shaoting frowned, "Third Miss, the one from the old man's second aunt's family?" Zhou Yong didn't dare to talk.
Gu Shaoting got up and pulled the doorknob and was about to get out of the car, Zhou Yong hurriedly spoke, "Second master, you just came back, you haven't rested for a few days, or I'll deal with this matter." ”
Gu Shaoting glanced up at him, got out of the car, and strode towards the crowded place. Zhou Yong hurriedly followed, and arrived in three or two steps.
"What's going on?"
Gu Shaoting walked to the middle of the crowd, looked at the people on the ground and asked in a deep voice.
Gu Yunxi turned her head, her eyes were at a loss, surprised and half aggrieved, she called timidly, "Second Brother" After a while, she couldn't help but start sobbing, as if she had finally found someone to rely on. "Second brother, she was injured in order to save me, second brother, you save her!"
Gu Shaoting walked quickly to Su Qingwan and squatted down, stretched out his index finger and gently probed her snort, his brows stretched slightly.
Su Qingwan struggled to open her eyes in a coma, and she couldn't see the person in front of her clearly, she heard someone in her ear who seemed to be shouting the second brother, she was not yet conscious, turned her head and hurriedly grabbed the hand of the unknown person, frowned and whispered weakly, "Second brother"
Gu Shaoting's hand paused slightly, and he raised his eyes and quietly looked at the person in front of him. Her expression changed slightly because of the pain, but she could still see that her face was very delicate, and her complexion was almost transparent white, and she was also extremely thin.
"Miss, how is she?!" Harusheng asked him anxiously.
Gu Shaoting retracted his eyes, gently stroked Su Qingwan's hand without a trace, turned his head to Chunsheng and said, "She's fine, it's just that her body is weak and frightened, and she fainted temporarily." ”
"Second brother, is she really okay?" Gu Yunxi leaned over and asked again.
"Well, it's fine. Gu Shaoting got up and was about to leave, but Chunsheng looked at him angrily.
"How can it be okay, our young lady is still sick!"
Zhou Yong frowned, took a step forward, and the "little girl" Gu Shaoting raised his hand to stop, "Zhou Yong." ”
He stretched out his right hand and gently probed Su Qingwan's forehead, and the heat he felt in his palm made him frown. Su Qingwan turned her head uncomfortably, as if she recognized Chunsheng, she smiled slightly at Chunsheng, and her voice was weak.
"Chunsheng, don't cry, I'm fine. ”
"Miss" Chunsheng hugged her tightly, and the teardrops seemed to be broken.
Gu Shaoting thought for a while, bent down and planned to pick up Su Qingjuan, but Chunsheng raised his head and looked at him defensively. He gave Chunsheng a fixed look, as if he was making a guarantee.
"Leave it to me, she'll be fine. ”
Chunsheng looked at him for a long time before letting go of her hand, but somehow, she couldn't help but believe what he said.
Su Qingwan was in a daze, and felt a pair of powerful arms hug him. She tilted her head and leaned weakly against his chest, feeling that the place where her head was resting was a little hard and uncomfortable.
Gu Shaoting looked at the woman frowning slightly in his arms, and remembered that he was still in a military uniform, so he half-sideways his face and gestured backwards. "Zhou Yong, you come and hug her. ”
Zhou Yi stepped forward, "Yes, second master." ”
"Second brother" Gu Yunxi looked at the unconscious Su Qingxuan, and couldn't help but show a little anxiety on his face.
Gu Shaoting turned his face to look at her, "Yun Xi, you go back with us." Gu Yunxi nodded hurriedly, as if relieved. Zhou Yong was stunned. "Second master, ...... the Military Affairs Office"
Gu Shaoting turned his head and glanced at the person in his arms, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Let's go back to the garden. ”
Zhou Yong tightened his arms slightly, a little confused about the meaning of the second master, could it be that he wanted to take this unknown woman back to the garden.
This is the first time in history.
Just because she saved the third lady? Zhou Yong shook his head and followed in confusion, didn't the third lady and the second master have never met a few times since they were children
The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, but there were also a few people who talked about chewing the root of the tongue afterwards.
"This chief is so pompous......"
"That's right, you don't look at who they are. ”
"Who is he?"
"That's the army marshal who has made great achievements at a young age, the golden gluttony of Shanghai, Second Master Gu!"
