Chapter Twenty-Six: The Benefactor
When Xie Yujiao woke up again, it was already dark, and she sighed again when she looked at the unfamiliar room, it has only been a few months, she has already experienced several deaths and lives, and she doesn't know where she is now. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info She seems to have dreamed just now, and vaguely remembers dreaming of a person in red, and she can't remember any more, and then a pain in her head hits, and she doesn't care about the things in the dream, so she quickly lies down and rests.
In the confusion, there was a voice outside the door, and it should have been an old man and a woman.
"Everyone, I'm really bothering you, I'm going to bother you to run this night, the hot water is boiling, please scrub the little girl and change into clean clothes" The old man's voice sounded a little stiff and cold.
"Uncle Qu, if it's not in the way, it's just a matter of taking a hand, is the little girl seriously injured? Don't kill anyone, don't be kind enough to be treated as a villain and get into a lawsuit. Listening to these words, Xie Yujiao felt that this woman seemed to be not bad, she should not be from this family, and she also knew that she kindly reminded the old man not to save people and cause trouble.
"Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, so I can't do my best, I can't see death without saving, Futu also went to say hello to the village chief. You please come in. It was still the old man who spoke, and his tone was stiff.
Hearing that the woman was going to come in, Xie Yujiao struggled to prop up her upper body and sit up, a weak small oil lamp, illuminating the dim room, but she could also see the furnishings in the house. A low, mud-walled thatched hut with bows and spears for hunting, and the skins of various animals, and a small low square table stacked with several notched bowls and jugs. Xie Yujiao was lying on an old wooden bed, and the bedding under her body and on her body could not tell what color it was, and it was also patched and patched, exuding a strong smell.
It seems that this is a poor Orion family, and the owner doesn't seem to be very particular.
Xie Yujiao looked at herself again, and there was a slight pain in her right arm and shoulder, probably dislocated. The right leg was wrapped in a few branches and wrapped around several strips of cloth, and it seemed that he had been briefly treated after the fracture.
The woman lifted the curtain of the door, saw that Xie Yujiao had sat up, and was also stunned, then smiled gently, put down the oil lamp, and said, "The girl is awake?" But if I feel uncomfortable, I'll go and bring hot water in first, and the girl will scrub it briefly, and we'll talk about it later."
Xie Yujiao knew that she had been rescued, but before she could thank her, she turned around and went out again, and there was no one to see.
In a few moments the woman came in with a basin of hot water.
"Thank you for saving your life." Regardless of whether she saved herself or not, Xie Yujiao's first sentence when she saw people say thank you, giving people the impression that the little girl is very polite.
"I can't be the girl's thanks, it's Uncle Qu and the rich boy who saved you, I was temporarily called to help the girl change the wash, the girl just called me Aunt Niu" This Aunt Niu didn't take credit, put down the basin, twisted the handkerchief to Xie Yujiao, and said her real life-saving benefactor.
"Then I have to thank Aunt Niu for her help, I'll just come by myself." Xie Yujiao thanked her heartily, whether it was the person who saved her life or the kind woman in front of her.
She clearly remembered the mountain forest she fell into, it was cold and snowy, and she was covered in injuries, if she hadn't been rescued in time, she would have frozen to death in the mountains in an hour, not to mention that there were hungry beasts in the mountains, if the smell of blood on her body attracted the animals, then there would really be no bones left.
Aunt Niu was very neat, wiped her water-soaked hands twice on her body, turned around and hugged her clothes, "This is the old clothes of my three girls, you will wear them, the poor family has no good clothes, that is, just wash them." ”
"Look at what my aunt said, I am also the daughter of a poor family, and I grew up wearing these clothes."
"It's good, it's good not to dislike it. You change the clothes, I'll go to the kitchen and see if there's anything to eat for you. Aunt Niu didn't believe Xie Yujiao's statement that she was born in a poor family, because she saw that although Xie Yujiao's padded jacket was scraped into strips, she didn't see a single patch, and it was all made of muslin. And the little girl's clean face and hands are white and tender, without any traces of work.
Xie Yujiao woke up and felt a headache, but she didn't remember that she hadn't eaten for a day. Holding on to his body, he hurriedly wiped it, and changed out of his clothes that had already been scraped by the branches, mixed with blood and dirt, and his head hurt so much that he was about to burst.
After dressing the clean clothes that Aunt Niu had sent, Aunt Niu came in with a bowl of hot noodle soup.
"If you're hungry, eat while it's hot, and warm up before you have the strength to speak."
"Thank you, auntie, Uncle Qu for saving me, I haven't thanked you in person." Xie Yujiao thought that since she had woken up, she still had to thank others for saving her life first.
"Uncle Qu, come in, the girl has changed and washed" Aunt Niu shouted outside while cleaning up the basin and Xie Yujiao's changed clothes.
Xie Yujiao thought that it was a hunter who saved herself, so she should be a sturdy man. It can be seen that what came in was an old man who had bowed downstairs, no less than sixty years old, looking older than his grandfather, and couldn't help but look at Aunt Niu.
"This is Uncle Qu," Aunt Niu introduced to the puzzled Xie Yujiao.
It was really this old man who saved himself! Xie Yujiao didn't know how to express her inner gratitude for a while, "Grandpa Qu, Yujiao thank you for saving your life." As he spoke, he was about to go down to the ground and kowtow to the old man. But one was hungry, and the other was hurting his head, and he couldn't even get out of bed by himself, and he was about to fall to the ground.
Old Man Qu hurriedly walked over and helped her up, "Hey, hey, I said that you little girl, if you want to thank you, you are not in a hurry at this time, what can you do, don't you know what kind of injury you are in, hurry up, quickly drink the hot soup and lie down." Aunt Niu asks you to treat the trauma briefly for her, it's too late today, and I can't find a doctor, Ming'er asked Futu to go to the next village to find Dr. Liu to show you that your head and legs are serious, don't make a good mess. Xie Yujiao also heard the old man's seemingly stern but kind tone, and explained why she didn't ask for a doctor.
"Thank you, Grandpa Qu, you are really a good person...... Xie Yujiao couldn't say any extra words of thanks to the old man in front of her, she only knew that she had really met a good person, if the old man hadn't gone into the mountains to hunt today, his little life would have really been explained in the mountains, and he would still have no bones. Thinking of the grievances she had been suffering from these days, she completely broke out at this moment, tears suddenly burst out of her eyes, and she couldn't stop it, and finally she cried until she hiccuped.
Old Man Qu and Aunt Niu didn't know how to persuade when they saw this situation, knowing that the child might have encountered something sad, so they simply let her cry and vent.
After she cried enough, Xie Yujiao, who was already red and swollen in her eyes, only had a slit left in her swollen eyes, and Aunt Niu intimately twisted a hot handkerchief.
Xie Yujiao drank the big bowl of noodle soup that was no longer hot in one go, and Aunt Ren Niu pounded the wounds on her body with the herbs that Grandpa Qu had just picked.
Aunt Niu also inquired about Xie Yujiao's life experience.
Xie Yujiao didn't feel that there was anything unspeakable about her life experience, so she roughly said how she was abducted, and then went all the way to the capital, after all, whoever picks up a stranger and comes back must ask carefully to be reassuring. Of course, there was no mention of the clank.
After the trauma was treated, it was already late, Grandpa Qu sent Aunt Niu away with a torch, and when he came back, he was ready to go to bed as soon as he closed the courtyard door.
He went into the house and found two hides, ready to go to the outer firewood house for the night
