Chapter 36: Suffering Together
This white-clothed descendant is not much older than his own son, not to mention saving her life twice, even if he meets in Pingshui, he can't watch him get seriously injured.
Xu is God has a kind heart, a whole day, after eating and sleeping in white clothes, but there is no more high fever, when it comes to the night, the carpenter's house next door to the broken yard, suddenly noisy, Dong Rong sticks to the wall and listens, as if the carpenter has injured his arm while doing work, it is very strict, the voice of the carpenter's wife is sharp and frightened, and the eldest son of the family is called to ask for a doctor.
Dong Rong felt that the opportunity had come, so she took advantage of the dark night to hide beside the pile of sawdust outside the carpenter's yard, and sure enough, soon a doctor with a medicine box was invited, and he left after some diagnosis and treatment.
The carpenter injured his hand and could not do work for at least a month, and he had to buy medicine for the injury, which was really bad news for the family.
The carpenter's wife cried and scolded while turning over the copper coins saved at home and asked her son to go to the pharmacy to buy some wound medicine and come back.
The carpenter's eldest son was very honest, but at the age of twelve or thirteen, he accidentally pushed the planer and injured his father, and he was so guilty that he wanted to hang himself. At this time, he took the copper coin and hung his head, and was about to go out to the pharmacy.
As a result, he was intercepted by Dong Rong unexpectedly, and he subconsciously tightened his purse containing copper coins, "You... What are you doing? ”
Dong Rong hurriedly walked to a slightly bright place, making this half-grown child look down on himself as a woman, and then smiled, "Don't be afraid, this little brother, I'm not a bad person!" ”
The half-grown man looked down on Dong Rong's appearance, and was obviously relieved, put his hand down, and asked, "Auntie, is there something wrong with stopping me?" ”
Dong Rong smiled kindly and responded, "The little brother is really smart, the aunt just encountered a little difficulty, and I want to ask the little brother for a favor, okay?" ”
The half-grown man was a little strange, but he was kind by nature, and he didn't think much about it before responding, "Okay, if my aunt has something, just say it, if you can help me, you will definitely help." ”
"Thank you little brother for your help, when we walked to the alley, I somehow fell and a broken bowl of stubble cut my leg. When I was in a dilemma, I happened to see a doctor in your house, and it was also because someone had a traumatic injury, so I thought I would ask you to bring one for me when I went to buy medicine for the injury. ”
Dong Rong really didn't have any good excuses, so she had to make up a story temporarily, and finally took out a small piece of silver from her sleeve and handed it over, "I have money here, just buy two bottles of wound medicine for me, if there is anything left, let the little brother keep it to buy fruit to eat, and it will be my thank you." ”
"How's that going to work, auntie?" The half-grown child hurriedly waved his hand and refused, and the carpenter's mother-in-law in the yard heard the movement and asked in a loud voice, "Tie up, who are you talking to, why haven't you gone to buy medicine yet?" ”
The half-grown man turned his head and was about to respond, but Dong Rong pulled him and whispered, "Little brother, I don't want others to know that I am injured, so keep it a secret for me." ”
The half-grown boy nodded hurriedly, and after thinking about it, he replied to the old lady in a muffled voice, "Mother, I peed a lot, and I'll go right away." ”
"There is a lot of and urine on the lazy donkey!" The carpenter's mother scolded her hatefully and went into the stove.
Dong Rong smiled apologetically at the half-grown boy and said in a low voice, "Thank you, little brother, for your help, you go and come back quickly, I'll wait here." ”
The half-sized man pinched the broken silver in his hand hard, nodded his head several times, and then ran out of the alley, Dong Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and just wanted to find a dark place to hide, and rest by the way. I didn't want the half-grown boy to run back again, "Auntie, you can just rest in front of my house, but don't go to the broken yard next door!" It's haunted, and the neighbors know it, so don't be scared. ”
"Ah," Dong Rong was stunned, and then she understood why the white-clothed descendants would take her directly to the broken yard, and although the neighbors who lost food and bedding on this day scolded badly, no one went into the yard to find it.
"I see, little brother, thank you so much. I'm just here waiting for you to come back, you go and come back quickly. ”
The half-grown boy smiled and scratched the back of his head, then ran away again.
Xu is medicine shop was not far from here, but in two quarters of an hour, he panted and ran back with a full bottle of medicine.
Dong Rong hurriedly walked out of the shadows and asked in a low voice, "Little brother, I only need two bottles, why did you buy so much?" ”
The half-eldest son smiled and responded, "My aunt gave me a lot of money, so I bought all the medicine." ”
Dong Rong liked this kid's kindness very much, and didn't say much at the moment, only took four bottles, and gave the rest to half of the child, and then pretended to walk out of the alley without waiting for him to excuse himself.
The half-grown man stretched his head and took a look, and in desperation, he returned to his house with the remaining medicine bottles.
didn't mention how he explained the source of the medicine fee to the sturdy old lady, but said that Dong Rong saw him enter the courtyard and hurriedly turned back to the broken courtyard.
The white-clothed Housheng had been awake for a long time, and was leaning against the wall looking at the courtyard gate, and when he saw her come back, his face retreated with worry.
Dong Rong smiled and put the medicine bottle beside him, and then said, "Today's luck is really good, it just so happened that someone was injured nearby, and he dragged someone to buy some medicine for the injury." After eating for a while, I changed the medicine for you, and I guess you will be able to continue flying the eaves and walking the wall tomorrow. ”
After that, she brought the cool white in the clay pot, and broke a bun of grain cakes and distributed half of them to the white coat.
A look of shame flashed in the eyes of the white-clothed poster, and he took the cake and ate it slowly.
Dong Rong thought that he remembered the hard days when he was a child, so he hurriedly said, "I don't know what your name is?" ”
The white-clothed Housheng was stunned, and it took a long time before he responded, "You can just call me white-clothed." ”
"White?" Dong Rong took a big bite of the cake and said with a smile, "This name is elegant, but it also reflects your identity as a hero." The white clothes are fluttering, the eaves are walking on the wall, and the chivalrous deeds are righteous. I knew that you were a martial arts genius, and when I met you, I should have taken you directly to my home, and now I don't have to be chased like a lost dog. ”
The white-clothed housheng glanced at Dong Rong and saw that there was no sadness on her face, so he said, "At that time, I didn't know that I could learn martial arts, so I met my master after I survived." ”
"Your master must be very powerful," Dong Rong finished eating the cake, gently patted the injured pieces, and asked again, "However, when did you recognize me and save me twice?" ”
The white-clothed Housheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and replied vaguely, "I also recognized it by chance... Hiss! ”
As he spoke, he pulled the wound on his back, gasping heavily in pain.
Dong Rong didn't care about asking, and immediately was busy changing the dressing for him, Xu is body recovery is good, and the knife wound obviously has a tendency to heal, Dong Rong was overjoyed, and said with a smile while busy, "At this speed, in two days, you will be able to continue to fly the eaves and walk the wall." ”
Soon, the two changed the medicine, Dong Rong looked at the white-clothed Housheng as if he was a little tired, and he didn't pull him to gossip anymore, directly covered the quilt, blocked the cold wind for him like last night, and slowly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, she woke up at dawn as usual, and went to steal the food of the early riser.
But when she rushed back with a few boiled sweet potatoes, she saw that the wooden door of the broken courtyard was wide open, and the garbage at the door was kicked everywhere, and her heart immediately rose to her throat.
Sure enough, the white-clothed Housheng, who was originally sleeping soundly, was tied to the pillar by Wuhuada, and the number seven or eight people standing next to him were none other than Xia Mingyi and Wei San and the lackeys.
"Mrs. Dong, where have you been so early in the morning, our hall master has been waiting for you for a long time?"
As soon as Wei San saw Dong Rong appear at the door, he immediately rushed to the courtyard and was polite loudly, but his tone was full of pride and arrogance, and I am afraid that only a fool can't hear it.
Dong Rong slowly put the sweet potato in his hand on the wall stack on the side, and then walked into the courtyard, not looking at Wei San at all, only looking at Xia Mingyi with a cold face, and asked lightly, "Master Xia, you are really powerful." Can you tell me how you got here? ”
Wei San felt that he had been shaved face, but he didn't know how to get angry, and when he heard this, he immediately shouted, "Our hall master has long ordered the sect members to guard all the pharmacies, and as long as anyone buys stab medicine, they must follow over to investigate. If you hadn't asked the stupid boy of the Li family to buy a few more bottles, we would have found them last night after some effort. ”
Dong Rong sighed secretly in her heart, sometimes honesty is a good quality, and sometimes it is really harmful. The half-grown son was not greedy for money, and bought all the money for wound medicine, which was originally a good thing, but he didn't expect it to attract chasing soldiers.
But at this time, she couldn't be allowed to sigh too much, "Hall Master Xia, let's talk about it, how can you let go of the white clothes?" ”
Wei San didn't know if he was a little carried away, or if it had become a habit to be the boss, forgetting that he still had a boss on his head now, he opened his mouth and wanted to answer first, but Dong Rong was impatient, and scolded loudly, "I talk to the master of the Xia Hall, why do you always interject?" Is this the rule of Maitreya? ”
Wei San was choked and rolled his eyes, and when he wanted to defend himself, Xia Mingyi raised his foot and kicked him to the side.
"How is this, is Mrs. Dong still satisfied?"
Dong Rong nodded, "This is the attitude to talk about business, it would be better if the Xia Hall Master could put down the white clothes, he has an injury on his back, if the injury is aggravated, don't blame me for dying and breaking the net." ”
Xia Mingyi snorted coldly, turned his head and motioned for a big man to untie the rope on the body of the white-clothed descendant. Xu was pointed at the acupoint, and the white clothes leaned softly against the pillar, without saying or moving.
Dong Rong was anxious, but her face refused to reveal half a point.
"It's still the same sentence, Xia Hall Master said it clearly, how can I let go of the white clothes, or let me leave with him?"
"Mrs. Dong, talk quickly, and I won't be verbose." Xia Mingyi smiled coldly, but his eyes were full of blazing greedy light, "It is said that Mrs. Dong has a seal in her hand, which can order the Qian Zhuang under the Dong family firm to pay 10,000 taels of silver and white at a time. Our sect leader is now planning a major event, and he is in urgent need of silver, so he specially instructed me to find Mrs. Dong and borrow the seal for use. ”
After Dong Rong listened, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said mockingly, "You Maitreya Sect are really very capable, such secrets, the flies and mice in our business house may not know about it, but you actually know it so clearly." ”
Xia Mingyi was victorious, and he didn't care that Dong Rong compared them to flies and mice, so he smiled proudly, "Gossip, Mrs. Dong is also a busy person, it's better to hand over the seal earlier, and we also brought up the silver to pay it earlier." ”R638
