42. Chapter 42
Zhao Gao, this dead tsundere (4)
In the early morning of the next day, when Gu Wang's got up, Gu Mian woke up hazy, looking at Gu Wang's with misty eyes, which made Gu Wang's heart flood with pity, and while his hand was still hot, he lifted Gu Mian's small clothes to look at the injury on her back, and asked softly, "Does it still hurt?" â
The wound on Gu Mian's back was still bruised yesterday, and it was vaguely looking like it was already dark and green, but after a night, there were only faint red marks left, which showed that the medicine Gu Wang gave her was not ordinary.
But these Gu Mian didn't know, she just thought that the effect of this medicine was good, and the injury that was hot yesterday was no longer painful now, so she moved tentatively, and said happily with her little face up, "Auntie!" It doesn't hurt anymore! â
As expected, Gu Wang tucked Gu Mian's quilt and coaxed softly, "It's still early, Ah Mian will sleep for a while, and Ah Niang will cook." â
Gu Mian nodded obediently, and closed his eyes under Gu Wang's gentle gaze, this body was already the age of lethargy, plus he was injured yesterday, and after a while, he breathed steadily and fell asleep again.
When I woke up, it was already sunny, Gu Wang had already gone to the front yard to work, Gu Mian got up and dressed and washed, fortunately, the child's clothes were easy to wear, and the hair was easy to say, just get a bud.
When brushing her teeth, Gu Mian held the bamboo chip in her hand for the one hundred and first time, nostalgic for the modern toothbrush, forgive her, a person who has enjoyed the soft brush for more than 20 years, really can't adapt to this simple bamboo piece.
After picking himself up, Gu Mian moved a small stool to the kitchen with a familiar car, stepped on the stool and lifted the lid of the pot, and sure enough, the food was warm in the pot. Xu was because Gu Mian was injured, so Gu Wang's rare boiled white porridge and scrambled an egg today.
Gu Mian's heart was warm, she had come to the Qin Dynasty for more than a month, she had a general understanding of her current life, how precious eggs and white rice were to slaves, and she would only eat a little occasionally during the New Year's holidays, but now A-Niang took it out because of a small injury on her back.
After eating, Gu Mian moved the wooden pier and sat in the yard to bask in the sun, and when he was sleepy, he suddenly remembered Zhao Gao, he must have been beaten badly after she left yesterday! I've been kneeling for so long, and now I must be covered in wounds.
Unconsciously touched her back with her backhand, Gu Mian got up and went to the room to rummage through the box at the head of the bed to find the medicine that Gu Wang gave her yesterday, hesitated and put it into her sleeve, only a little Ah Niang should not find out.
trotted all the way, and when Gu Mian panted through the alley entwined with vines, she suddenly made a difficulty, she didn't know where Zhao Gao lived, how to send him medicine?
was squatting on the ground holding his head in distress, and a voice above his head that was familiar in the past two days-
"What are you doing?"
Gu Mian jumped up suddenly, took out the bottle of medicine from his sleeve, and sent it to Zhao Gao with a blank eye, "Have you medicated the injuries on your body?" I brought you medicine. â
Zhao Gao's gaze swept lightly from the white porcelain medicine bottle, and his gaze was slightly fixed.
Seeing that he didn't react, Gu Mian thought that he was going to refuse, so he stepped forward and said, "It's really easy to use!" â
Zhao Gao took the medicine bottle, rubbed his fingers on it, and thoughts flashed in his eyes.
Although this medicine bottle is an ordinary style, the texture is delicate and smooth, and the pattern is exquisite, no matter how you look at it, it should not be what a slave should have......
The little girl in front of him was still rejoicing that he had accepted the medicine, and the smile on her face was bright and warm, so that she couldn't help but want to touch it, and even take it for herself.
"Brother Zhao Gao! Where do you live? I wanted to send you medicine just now, but I don't know where your home is......" After delivering the medicine, Gu Mian finally remembered to ask Zhao Gao.
In the future, she will have to save her sense of zĂ i from time to time, but she can't wait for Zhao Gao to take the initiative to come to him every time.
Zhao Gao turned around and took a step, "Follow me." â
Skirting a few rows of houses and crossing a deserted path, a dilapidated house appeared at the end of the road.
Pushing open the wooden door with a squeak, without Zhao Gao greeting him, Gu Mian had already jumped into the door, looking around curiously.
In fact, there is nothing to look at, the room exudes a damp musty smell, except for a few worn-out tables, chairs and benches, there is nothing else, and if you look closely, you can find that there is a thick layer of soil on the tables and chairs.
Thinking of what Liu Hu said about Zhao Gao's father and mother before, Gu Mian sighed in his heart, it was really not easy for Zhao Gao to grow into such a delicate and clean appearance in such a bad environment.
When Gu Mian had seen enough, Zhao Gao took her into the inner room where he lived.
It was cleaned up very cleanly, there weren't many things, but they were all in order, Gu Mian sat on the kang and dangled his legs, his face was up, and he said innocently, "Brother Zhao Gao, hurry up and take medicine!" Ah Mian used it last night, and it doesn't hurt today! â
The two of them were still young, and they didn't talk about anything evasive, so Zhao Gao immediately took off his clothes and gave himself medicine.
Originally, Gu Mian thought that he must have taken the medicine yesterday, but he sent this medicine today because he thought that the medicine had a good effect, and it was a pity not to use it to brush up on his good feelings, who knew that as soon as he took off his clothes, the scars were all black and blue, and the bruises gathered near the wound, and the upper body of the whole person was mottled and made people feel pain at a glance.
Feelings, this kid didn't deal with it at all yesterday? I really don't take myself seriously! Fortunately, she came over to deliver the medicine today, Gu Mian thought happily.
Zhao Gao sat on the kang and gave medicine to his body, the arms and chest in front were fine, but it was a little difficult to wait for the back, Gu Mian looked at his painstaking backhand to reach his back, and finally couldn't help jumping off the kang and picking up the medicine bottle on the side, "Brother Zhao Gao, Ah Mian will help you." â
Zhao Gao made a move, and finally turned his back to Gu Mian.
Gu Mian had medicine on his hand, lightly touched Zhao Gao's back and felt his body stiffen, thinking that it hurt him, he hurriedly approached and blew lightly with his mouth, and comforted, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, Ah Mian won't hurt if he blows." â
In fact, Zhao Gao is just not used to others being close to him, let alone showing his back to others.
Feeling the slight itching sensation coming from his back, Zhao Gao turned his back to Gu Mian and showed a weird smile on his face.
Gu Mian, it's the third time.
***
After eating at noon, as soon as Gu Wang's front foot left, Qi Rui and Liu Hu came to ask Gu Mian to go out to play, and Gu Mian agreed without a reason to refuse.
Helping Gu Mian lock the door, Liu Hu asked, "Gu Mian!" Where did you go two days ago? Your door was locked when we came to you. â
Gu Mian lied calmly: "I wasn't very comfortable resting at home two days ago, and A-Niang didn't worry about me alone, so I locked the door." â
After listening to Gu Mian's words, Liu Hu hurriedly said, "Then are you okay now?" As he spoke, he glanced up and down Gu Mian a few times with a nervous face.
Gu Mian nodded, "Okay!" Otherwise, how could A-Niang let me come out to play with you. â
"That's right, hehe!" Liu Hu touched his head and smiled.
"Look at your stupidity! Gu Mian! Walk! I'll take you to the woods! Just discovered a bird's nest two days ago! Qi Rui pushed Liu Hu aside, grabbed Gu Mian's hand, and the two ran away.
Liu Hu chased after him and shouted, "Qi Rui!" Who do you say is stupid?! Believe it or not, I'll hit you! â
When he arrived in the forest, Liu Hu finally had a place to play, and after a few rubs, he jumped up the tree, took down the bird's nest, and handed it to Gu Mian, "Gu Mian, look!" There's a bird in this nest! â
The fluffy bird in the nest had not yet grown its wings, stretched its neck and chirped non-stop, Gu Mian reached out and touched the hair on its body.
Seeing that Gu Mian couldn't put it down, Liu Hu raised his head proudly, and before he could say anything, Qi Rui stepped forward and Gu Mian next to each other, stretched out his hand and carefully touched the bird, and said to Gu Mian, "Gu Mian, this young bird won't live long without its mother, let's put her back, otherwise it will be sad if the mother bird can't see the child when she comes back." â
Gu Mian originally planned to take a look at it and ask Liu Hu to put the bird's nest back again, but she didn't expect Qi Rui to think of it with her, turned her head to Qi Rui and smiled sweetly, and returned the bird's nest to Liu Hu, "Liu Hu, let's put it back." â
Liu Hu was anxious when he heard this, and his eyes widened, "This is for you!" Don't you like it? â
"Of course I do! But what Qi Ruige said is right, the mother bird will be sad if the child is gone, just like I will be sad if my mother is gone, Ah Mian don't be a bad person! Gu Mian stood next to Qi Rui and replied.
Qi Rui helped on the side, "That's it!" Liu Hu, hurry up and put it back! Then he said to Gu Mian, "Gu Mian, there are a few fruit trees over there, the fruits on them are so red, I'll take you to pick them!" â
Gu Mian followed Qi Rui away, Liu Hu stood in place and couldn't figure out how he found these things, and now it has become Qi Rui's good.
Nibbling on the sweet fruit, listening to Qi Rui talking about some interesting things he heard from adults, Gu Mian was in a surprisingly good mood, and the two dimples were deeply embedded in his face, and he smiled at Qi Rui frequently.
Liu Hu stood in the distance and watched the two of them talking and laughing back and forth, feeling very uncomfortable.
Although he was only seven or eight years old, he knew that men would marry his mother-in-law in the future, A-Niang asked him who he wanted to marry, although he didn't say it, but he thought about Gu Mian in his heart, she was the best-looking girl he had ever seen, and every time she smiled, he was very happy.
"Uncomfortable to look at?" A cool voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Liu Hu was startled, turned around and took a few steps back, and after seeing that the person in front of him was Zhao Gao, he opened his mouth and scolded.
Zhao Gao was not angry, his eyes fell on the two figures in the distance, "They are very close." â
Amian, you are smiling so happily that I can't help but want to kill that boy......
Liu Hu clenched his fists indignantly, and Zhao Gao continued in his ear, "Obviously, she liked you more before, didn't she?" But now you're playing so well with another person, isn't that person your good brother? Why don't you care about your thoughts at all? It's pathetic to see you standing here alone......"
The seven or eight-year-old boy acted impulsively without thinking about the consequences, and before Zhao Gao finished speaking, Liu Hu had already rushed out, and after a while, he arrived in front of Qi Rui, and without saying a word, he pushed him to the ground and beat him with his fist.
"Liu Hu! What are you doing?! You are crazy?! Qi Rui was beaten for no reason, and shouted while fighting back.
Liu Hu didn't say a word and beat people in a muffled voice.
In the distance, Zhao Gao's eyes took a deep look at Gu Mian, who was standing aside, and turned to leave.
Gu Mian watched the two little boys fight inseparably, seeing that Qi Rui was about to be unable to parry, and Liu Hu still smashed his fists with all his strength, Gu Mian only came up with a way in a hurry-
"Wow" and cried loudly.
At this moment, Qi Rui and Liu Hu stopped one after another, and the two of them comforted Gu Mian at a loss.
