248. Snow
Mrs. Xia woke up, and when she heard that Chanyi's stomach hurt all night, she hurriedly took out the pair of cards, and immediately asked Jinping to invite Huang Yuyi, and she put on her clothes and went to Lanxin Courtyard.
As soon as I entered the inner room, I saw Chanyi leaning on the pillow with a pale face, reached out and put her hand outside the quilt into the quilt, and said urgently: "You child, are you going to die in a hurry to grandmother? Since it hurts in the middle of the night, how can you endure it until now? Do you know that some diseases can't be delayed?"
Chanyi leaned weakly on the pillow, with some tiredness in her voice, but she also comforted Mrs. Xia: "Grandmother, don't worry, it's just an ordinary stomach disease, where is it so strict, I often have a stomach ache on weekdays." ”
What's more, she had a strange dream last night, and her stomach hurt after waking up, and she vaguely felt that this was not a good sign.
Old Madam Xia was anxious and distressed, and chattered about her for a long time, until Imperial Doctor Huang arrived.
Instructed the little maid to hang down the curtain, and put a thin silk handkerchief on Chanyi's wrist, and then Imperial Doctor Huang entered the inner room to check the pulse.
Imperial Doctor Huang is the best at treating stomach diseases, he checked the pulse for a long time but did not feel anything strange, and asked about some usual eating habits, and what he ate before going to bed yesterday.
Jinping replied respectfully one by one: "Last night, Miss ate a hot pot with the old lady, the old man, and the lady, and the young lady peeled a few peanuts in the warm pavilion, and didn't even drink tea, and came back to wash and drink some warm water and fell asleep, and woke up in the middle of the night to drink some warm water, and didn't touch anything raw and cold." ”
Old Madam Xia was a little anxious, looking at Imperial Doctor Huang's frowning appearance, worried in her heart, and asked, "But what's wrong?"
Imperial Doctor Huang thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Since it is dinner together, and I didn't eat anything else, everyone is fine, I think it's not because of eating, it should be an acute stomach disease, just take some medicine to relieve pain, pay attention not to eat more sweets on weekdays, and try not to eat some greasy things, and it will be no big problem to raise it." ”
When Mrs. Xia heard this, she put her mind at ease, took the prescription prescribed by Imperial Doctor Huang, and instructed the little maid to follow and grab the medicine, and then turned around and instructed Jinping and Jinse, asking them to serve Chanyi wholeheartedly, and turned to Chanyi and said: "You will be recuperating at home in the past few days, don't go anywhere, and wait for your injuries to heal before talking about anything else." ”
Chanyi nodded respectfully, there have been too many things happening in the past few days, I just want her to go out, and she doesn't want to go out.
……
Pine Creek Township.
The snow had been falling all night, and it didn't stop until it was almost dawn, and the road in the town was covered with a thick layer of snowflakes, and everywhere you could see was white, burying everything that happened during the night under the snow, and there was a cold smell in the air.
The people who live on the street, there are those who are diligent, take big brooms and sweep the snowflakes, pile them up at the door, from time to time there are naughty children who make snowflakes into balls, have snowball fights, and the new clothes are thrown with snow, a group of children are laughing and laughing, and there are also those who are not careless to let their own mothers see it, and they are reprimanded with their ears, "...... You little rabbit, the New Year's clothes that the old lady just made for you are dirty, see if the old lady doesn't break your ass!"
I can see that the people around me will smile.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the town is full of people walking the streets, chatting with nearby neighbors, or going to relatives and friends to pay New Year's greetings, and the town is full of peaceful atmosphere, and everyone has a happy expression on their faces.
On the way to the town, a young woman with a food box in her hand walked past a snowy town, and her steps were hurried.
Someone who knew her looked up and greeted her with a smile: "Sister-in-law Zhang, your house didn't rest on the first day of the Lunar New Year?"
The young woman nodded and smiled slightly, "Yes, do what they do, more than three hundred and sixty days and nights a year, where are the days of rest, yesterday I made some food with my mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law asked me to send it to him today." ”
The man seemed to be very familiar with the woman's husband, and joked in his mouth: "Go quickly, the newlywed Yan'er, it's really embarrassing Brother Zhang." ”
The young woman's face turned red instantly, she pursed her lips and smiled lightly, and hurried away, although she was already married, she was still a little uncomfortable with these explicit jokes.
It wasn't until she left the town and never met an acquaintance again that she touched her red cheeks, and when she thought of her husband, her heart was warm.
Walk quickly to the south of the post station, the snow here is very thick, because no one cleans, so she walked all the way is the "creak" snow sound, she tilted her head, a little strange, it stands to reason that the post guards in the post station are screened out from the villager's house, this small snow, how can no one clean it?
She held back the strange feeling in her heart, and walked all the way to the door of the post station along the path in front of the post station, the courtyard gate was wide open, and there were two thick lumps of snow at the door, and she felt more and more strange in her heart, and she had never seen a mound of earth here.
She tidied up her clothes at the door before slowly walking in with the food box, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, her eyes widened instantly.
There were dozens of corpses in the courtyard, although the body was half covered by snow, but the scimitar inserted in the corpse was bright and piercing eyes, she opened her mouth wide in shock, retreated again and again, and retreated straight to the door, accidentally touched the snowdrift at the door, her legs and feet were weak, and she fell to the ground at once, and even the food box turned over.
She hurriedly turned her head to look at the food box, but suddenly found that in the snowdrift beside her, a blue human face was revealed, she screamed instantly, and she just fell down and sat straight on this person's body.
She didn't care about anything else, got up and stumbled into the town, her combed bun loosening as she ran, and the hairpin fell into the snow.
ran all the way to the town, saw the people in the town, the horror in her heart was lighter, the person who had just greeted her was about to go to a relative's house, raised her eyes and saw her like this, stunned for a moment, and said loudly: "Sister-in-law Zhang, you were chased by wolves?"
The young woman raised her head and looked at the man in front of her, tears flowed down her eyes, and she said tremblingly, "...... Post...... Inside the inn...... It's all dead!"
The smile on the man's face immediately turned to surprise, and he looked at the panicked young woman in amazement.
……
