Chapter 8 Confluence
The city gate is full of people coming and going. Ah Xiang entered the city only to find that the city was very prosperous, the people on the street were bustling with people, the traffic was busy, the hawkers were constantly selling, the road was full of flowers of all colors, and even the doors and windows of those shops were inserted with azaleas, and bursts of fragrance came to the nose. Ah Xiang was surprised that the prosperity of Bian City was not inferior to the capital! But the colic of her hunger made her have no time to sigh about this.
After walking for a while, I found a stall selling wontons in a remote corner, the stall owner was an old man, with a kind face, although there were only a few scattered customers, but he was not depressed because of bad business. Watching him cook wontons while making wontons, and talking to people at the same time, it was unusually relaxed. Listening to the conversations he had with others, it was clear that he was familiar with these guests, and he had been working in this field for a long time.
Ah Xiang asked for a bowl of wontons and found a table to sit down. The table was a little worn and the stools were a little shaky, but they were clean. After a while, the ravioli was ready. The old man brought the wonton to Ah Xiang, and Ah Xiang saw that some green onions were sprinkled on it, and the color was verdant, which looked appetizing.
After saying "thank you", Ah Xiang started. I put it in my mouth with a spoon and it tasted delicious. The boss was very satisfied with the delicious food.
"Girl, how does it taste?"
Hurriedly swallowed the wonton in his mouth, and the hot Ah Xiang inhaled.
"Eat slowly." The old man said with a smile.
Feeling able to speak, Ah Xiang looked up at the other party, "It's very delicious." ”
"It's delicious." The old man touched his beard with satisfaction.
"Where is the girl going later?"
"Go and find someone." Ah Xiang replied while eating.
"Oh?" The old man was puzzled, "Where to find it?" ”
Ah Xiang didn't want to sue others, so she just said that she was in this city. The old man didn't speak anymore, because there was another guest.
was so hungry that Ah Xiang ate two bowls in a row, and even drank all the soup. After paying the money, Ah Xiang walked to the street, and there was a cramp in his stomach as he walked, maybe he hadn't eaten so much for too long, Ah Xiang didn't care, but thought about how to find them.
If they were really in Bian Cheng, they would definitely stay at the inn, so now it's time to inquire about the inns in Bian Cheng.
After visiting several inns to no avail, Ah Xiang was a little discouraged. Walking down the street in a state of exhaustion, he couldn't even hear the clamor around him. Suddenly, there was a noise behind him, as if it was mixed with insults, but these Ah Xiang didn't notice, and still walked on the road in a low voice, thinking about what she would do if they weren't here?
Suddenly, a person rushed from behind Ah Xiang, hitting her back painfully, stumbling a few times before she fell, and looked up to see that the person who had run to the front was still running forward, and turned back from time to time. Hearing a "don't run" from behind him, Ah Xiang turned around in confusion, and before she could react, another person pushed herself aside fiercely. This time he really fell, and crashed into the stall on the side, the wooden frame used to support the stall collapsed instantly, and a wooden stick even slashed through his waist, and the scab that had just formed seemed to be cracked, and there was a faint wetness in his clothes. The palms of the hands rubbed against the ground, the flesh and blood were blurred, and it was the pain of this cone. Ah Xiang looked up at the person who pushed him down angrily, and the person had already run some distance, only to see that the back was a thin man.
Ah Xiang gritted her teeth and insisted on getting up, and walked forward with a belly full of anger. There was a sudden gust of wind beside him, and another person came from behind, but the other party avoided Ah Xiang. Ah Xiang looked at it, why is the back so familiar? Because of this man's light work, he quickly overtook the first man and caught him. The man who knocked down Ah Xiang ran over and snatched the object from the other's hand. Ah Xiang took a closer look, it was Ye Chenqing and Du Sheng! Ye Chenqing was dressed in men's clothes, wearing a men's crown, and he looked very handsome. It was this Ye Chenqing who just knocked himself down!
At this time, Ye Chenqing looked at the man at Du Sheng's feet, his face was as jealous as hatred, "Do you dare to steal next time?" ”
But seeing that the man at his feet begged for mercy again and again, shouting that he didn't dare, he didn't dare, Ye Chenqing asked Du Sheng to release the man. As soon as the man was liberated, he hurriedly got up and ran. Then a panting woman ran from behind her.
"Thank you, Childe, Childe is such a good person!"
"Where, it's just a gesture" Ye Chenqing waved his hand indifferently. When the people around looked around, it turned out to be a good deed, and they all looked at Ye Chenqing with praise in their eyes. Du Sheng stood beside him, still silent. After Ye Chenqing returned the things to the woman, he pulled Du Sheng to leave. Although Ah Xiang was angry, she still pretended to be unhindered and walked to Ye Chenqing's side.
Ye Chenqing saw a person walking beside him, and when he looked at it, it was Ah Xiang, his face was incredible, and even Du Sheng, who had always been expressionless, had a trace of surprise on his face.
"You're not dead?!"
Ah Xiang almost vomited a mouthful of blood when she heard this, you wish I was dead! After calming down, Ah Xiang nodded in response.
"It's good that you're not dead!" Ye Chenqing changed into a happy expression in the blink of an eye, took Ah Xiang's hand, but what he touched was wet, and when he looked down, he saw that it was full of blood, and he was so frightened that he quickly let go, "What's going on?!" ”
Ah Xiang ignored the pain, clenched her fists to calm her anger, did she want to say that you did it, Miss? If you say that in the eyes of the people around you, you will become a person with a small belly, after all, people do good deeds! Soon recovered, calmly, only said that it was a fall.
Ye Chen nodded clearly, and went back to the inn with Ah Xiang.
When he arrived at the inn, Ye Chenqing shouted to see who was back? Shen Ruomeng came out of the room, his face full of impatience, but he saw that the person next to Ye Chenqing was so shocked that his eyes widened, and he hurriedly walked downstairs.
"Ah Xiang!"
Looking at Shen Ruomeng, who ran to his side, his face was haggard, obviously not resting well. Looking at Shen Ruomeng, who was crying with joy because she saw herself, Ah Xiang smiled and shouted, "Miss, I'm back." ”
Hearing Ah Xiang say that she was back, Shen Ruomeng hugged Ah Xiang vigorously regardless of what dignity and humility had, and Ah Xiang hissed in pain. When Shen Ruomeng heard this, he hurriedly let go and looked at Ah Xiang, his face full of concern, "What's wrong?" ”
Ah Xiang smiled and said indifferently, "It's okay." ”
Only then did Shen Ruomeng notice the scab on Ah Xiang's face and asked what was going on. Ah Xiang only said that she rubbed it before, and now she is fine.
Shen Ruomeng didn't doubt it when she heard Ah Xiang say that it was okay. I grabbed Ah Xiang's hand and wanted to go upstairs, but I felt a slippery one, and when I turned my hand, it was full of blood, although it was a little dry, but I could imagine how painful it was at that time. Busy asking what's going on? Ah Xiang couldn't help it, and explained again that it was a fall. Shen Ruomeng didn't believe it, how could he fall so badly. Ah Xiang swore that it was really a fall. She didn't want to say that it was because Ye Chenqing pushed it, more things are better than less.
Shen Ruomeng believed it when she saw Ah Xiang swearing, and hurriedly called Xiao Tao and asked Xiao Tao to ask for a doctor.
At this time, everyone knew that Ah Xiang was back, and came over to ask Ah Xiang what was going on.
Xuanyuan Sheng learned that he also came to visit Ah Xiang. For a while, Ah Xiang was surrounded by a group of people, which made her a little at a loss, not embarrassed, but it was just that she was a little unaccustomed to so many people surrounding her for a long time. Shen Ruomeng saw that Ah Xiang was a little uncomfortable, so he drove the idlers out.
"Ah Xiang, what happened after you fell off the cliff?" Shen Ruomeng spoke first, if it weren't for Ah Xiang pushing her away, she wouldn't know that she was still alive.
"Yes, Ah Xiang, how did you survive falling off the cliff?" Should Ye Chenqing say that she is straightforward or can't speak? Ah Xiang choked when she heard Ye Chenqing's words, and she didn't know what to say?
However, Xuanyuan Sheng couldn't stand it a little, and said, "Let Ah Xiang speak slowly." ”
Shen Ruomeng Ye Chenqing looked at each other with resentment in his eyes and stopped.
Ah Xiang looked at everyone, and only said that she had a big life, and she only picked up a life when she fell into the river. Then he briefly summarized what he encountered later, but he did not say what happened to him in the cave.
After listening to what Ah Xiang said, everyone sighed, it was indeed a big fate! However, no one noticed that after Ah Xiang finished speaking, a strange color flashed in the eyes of one of them, but he quickly regained his calm.
After Ah Xiang also learned from them that he had fallen off the cliff, the secret guards arranged by Xuanyuan Sheng behind everyone arrived and killed all the assassins. Although he was captured alive, the moment he was caught, the assassin bit through the poison bag in his mouth and was killed instantly. After listening to what they said, the corners of Ah Xiang's eyes twitched, why did she fall down and the dark guard arrived?
However, after understanding the situation, Xuanyuan Sheng got up and left, followed by Du Sheng. Seeing that Xuanyuan Sheng was gone, Ye Chenqing also left with Liu Qing, she and Shen Ruomeng are now disgusted with each other!
Shen Ruomeng asked Ah Xiang about some information after everyone left, but Ah Xiang only said a few words. After a while, Xiao Tao led the doctor back.
Ah Xiang was afraid that they would know that they were seriously injured, so she let everyone else out, leaving only the doctor alone in the room. Shen Ruomeng wondered, what could she not know? Ah Xiang only said that it was a private matter, and Shen Ruo dreamed of waiting for the doctor to come out and ask Ah Xiang again, and finally reluctantly went out with Xiao Tao.
The doctor is old, full of hair, but his body is healthy.
Ah Xiang rolled up her sleeves and asked the doctor to take the pulse.
After a while, the doctor withdrew his hand, and his face was stern.
Ah Xiang asked worriedly, "How is it?" ”
The doctor thought for a moment, but said, "The girl was seriously injured?" Ah Xiang nodded.
"The injury is too serious, I think it hurt my spleen, and I didn't get treatment in time, my body has lost a lot, I'm afraid that I will fall into the root of the disease in the future."
When Ah Xiang heard the doctor say this, she was secretly surprised, she knew that she was injured, but she didn't expect it to be so strict, and hurriedly asked the doctor, "Can it be cured?" ”
The doctor picked up the pen and wrote down a prescription.
"I'll give the girl a prescription first, and you drink it first. There can be no more strenuous activities, this body can't stand it. He sighed again, "But even if you get the food, it is estimated that it will not get better in a few years." Hearing this, Ah Xiang's face tightened.
The doctor gave some more medicine for the bruises, and then got up with the medicine box on his back and planned to leave.
Ah Xiang stopped the doctor, hesitated and said, "Doctor, I hope the doctor won't tell others about my injury." ”
The doctor nodded in agreement, and Ah Xiang said thank you and opened the door to let Xiao Tao send the doctor away.
Shen Ruomeng saw Ah Xiang and the doctor come out, hurriedly walked to Ah Xiang's side, and asked Ah Xiang what her private matter was and didn't let her know about it. Ah Xiang was helpless, so she only pretended to be shy and said that it was her daughter's family, and Shen Ruomeng realized it.
After eating, Shen Ruomeng didn't let Ah Xiang serve, so Ah Xiang went back to the room early.
When I got to the room and closed the door, Ah Xiang sat on the bed and slowly took off the clothes on her body. The black scab on his body that had already formed was torn open and blood flowed out because of the fall. By this time, the blood has dried up, forming a red scab. Ah Xiang opened the ointment given by the doctor today, smeared all the wounds, and waited for the ointment to dry before putting on clothes.
Ah Xiang looked at the top of the bed in distraction. The reason why she doesn't want others to know about her injury today, Ah Xiang herself can't tell, she doesn't know what she is afraid of, she just subconsciously doesn't want others to know, she doesn't want others to know that she is in poor health now, she is very weak now.
