Chapter 7: Keep You Alive
Mid-April is the season of recovery.
The singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, the murmuring of water, is the prospect of vitality, and the coolness of late spring.
Linlang trotted back to the Jin Mansion, and before she could catch her breath, she heard Li'er's sharp scolding. "I'm coming back so late, go to the Idle Pavilion, Madame has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Ling Shan pouted and glared at Li'er, only to see Linlang shake her head slightly, before she retracted her steps and turned around and left angrily. "Linlang, if that girl bullies you again, tell me, and I'll help you clean her up!"
Ling Shan's uninhibited words came from afar, Li'er bit her lip and stared at Ling Shan's back, and she didn't lose a long bite until she was far away. She had apparently suffered from Ling Shan. "Let's go! Don't be stunned, if the old lady is delayed because of you, see how you explain! ”
Li'er's seemingly casual words reminded Linlang, and she shivered violently, like a basin of cold water poured from her head to the soles of her feet, and an indescribable chill made her daunting.
I learned from Ling Shan that the old lady fell ill because of the matter of Jinchi, but she never heard that she was asked to come for treatment. As soon as I entered the gate, I met the eldest lady's maid Li'er, who seemed to be waiting for Linlang, all kinds of things were connected together, and it was indescribably weird.
Along the way, Linlang carefully observed, and the maids around the third aunt didn't know where they went, and they were either the maids of the eldest lady or some miscellaneous servants on the road.
"Hurry up! The old lady was sick in the morning, and now it's almost time for you to come back! ”
Li'er walked in front, constantly counting the myriad of nots. Looking at her arrogant appearance, Linlang calculated that sooner or later she would have to endure all the hardships!
Idle Pavilion, also called North Garden.
Since the old lady is no longer in charge of the affairs of the Jin family, she moved here to eat fasting and chant Buddha for self-cultivation. The bamboo forest is lush, the flowers are splendid, and the birds live in insects, and the end is very pleasant.
When she was young, she was resolute.
On the in-laws and daughters-in-law, there is no one who does not complain about her. Just because the old lady has extraordinary ability, everything has passed through her hands, and everything has been done beautifully, which is full of praise.
It is precisely because of this that the Jin family was able to become the head of the four major families under her careful care.
Those who hold great power, who does not have a few lives in their hands.
No matter how intimidating the old lady is, she is a woman after all, and she has the timidity of all women in her bones. The older I get, the more scared I become. The debt she owed when she was young came back, forcing her to stay in her hand all day long, chanting sutras and burning incense in order to get psychological comfort.
Linlang sat next to the old lady, looking at her wrinkled face, and felt bad in her heart. After all, it was her grandmother who was lying on the bed, although she was scolded a lot when she was a child, but there was a child at home, saying that she didn't care, it was fake!
Linlang glanced up at the eldest lady, and there was no trace of melancholy on her indifferent face. Stretched out his hand and gently probed his nose, and the faint breath indicated that the body of this old dragon clock had reached the point of running out of oil and drying up.
Is it just gone? I haven't told you that I'm Xiao Qi!
Linlang put her hand on the old lady's wrist, the heart, liver, and kidney veins were all empty, and only the lungs and spleen were still beating weakly. Sure enough, the temper is big enough, otherwise it would not have driven the lungs to continue to this day. Thinking about it, Linlang leaned down and whispered in the old lady's ear by checking the pupils: "Catch butterflies!" ”
When the old lady heard this, her body shook violently, and her old eyelids opened suddenly. She struggled to lift her head, but her sparse white hair fell heavily before it left the pillow.
"Ahh Ahh ”
She struggled to open her mouth, her chapped and flabby lips making a hoarse sound, and she couldn't make out what was being said.
The pale gray pupils slowly regained their brilliance, and the cloudy whites of the eyes stared weakly. She knew who was back, and she knew what this person was doing when he came back!
Linlang quickly pretended to be frightened, hurriedly jumped up from the bed, and ran to the side to cover her face with her arms. She knew that the old lady had been clear in the time her eyes were focused.
I survived.
Linlang looked at the old lady who was breathing with her mouth open, and under the constant urging of the eldest lady, she returned to the bed again, carefully stretched out her hand, and put it on the old lady's weak wrist.
The pulse is still the same, and if it is not treated in time, I am afraid it will not last for three days.
Since you insist on refusing to leave, then I will let you live well, watch me step by step, and regain your former glory, the Lin family's inheritance!
"Old lady......" Linlang pretended to be frightened, hurriedly got up, and lowered her head and didn't dare to look directly at the eldest lady's gaze.
"What's wrong with the old lady?" The eldest lady also performed the play in front of everyone, with an anxious face and a sharp voice.
"The old lady has had a stroke, and I am afraid that her tongue will be inconvenient, so she can only eat some softer liquid food in the future. And ......" Linlang quietly glanced at the relieved old lady, who also craned her neck and listened with difficulty. "Moreover, I'm afraid that in the future, it will be difficult for the old lady to speak!"
"Ahh Ahh ”
Jin Xiaoqi, it turned out to be you! It's you broom star who has suffered a thousand cuts! I didn't expect you to be alive! The old lady was very clear in her heart, but when the words came to her mouth, they turned into a random "ahhhhhh
With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Linlang looked down at the old lady. Hmph, you should thank God for giving you a stroke on your tongue, and if it's somewhere else, I'm going to give you a different pair of medicines.
After explaining the things that should be paid attention to, Linlang quietly came to the eldest lady and said softly: "I've disappointed you!" ”
Seeing the anger in the eldest lady's eyes, but she couldn't let it out, Linlang was very happy. She raised the corners of her lips, smiled slightly, and said, "Big lady, Linlang will go to the pharmacy to get medicine, please pay more attention to the safety of the old lady!" ”
Linlang's meaning is very clear, you want her to die, and find an opportunity to put all the fault on me. Then I'll keep her alive! Now I'm going out, and the people are in your hands, and if something goes wrong, it's your business!
The eldest lady's face turned the color of pork liver, and it was hot and hot. But she also had to pretend to be grateful, and said gently: "Go, go and come back quickly, the old lady has just recovered from a serious illness, and there is no one around me who understands medical skills, so I am always unsure!" ”
Linlang walked all the way, constantly replaying the dangerous experience just now in her mind. She took advantage of the old lady's temper to tell her secret, so that the only remaining temper could bring other meridians to life, and then delay her breath for a few days.
When he was young, Jin Xiaoqi liked to catch butterflies the most. It's red, it's yellow, it's beautiful to fly around. But the old lady was taboo for others to mention catching butterflies in front of her. Just because she has a nickname named Butterfly. However, Jin Xiaoqi, who she disliked the most, did not shy away from it, and whenever she saw the old lady, she yelled to catch butterflies.
She was the only one in the Jin family who dared to say this, and it was precisely because of this that she was punished by the old lady.
The butterflies are still flying, colorful and beautiful. But the Jin family was overshadowed, like snow and frost, shrouded in a blanket of gray.
The Jin family, disaster is not a one-way street. As the people of Jincheng said.
Chinese New Year's Eve the cotton warehouse caught fire, Jin Chi spent his first year of junior high school in prison, and the maid of the Xiqiu Jin family died tragically...... All kinds of signs are a good sign for the coming year.
Sure enough, Jin Chi had just lost an arm and almost died, and the old lady of the family had a stroke and almost died. I don't know how many tragedies await behind, and I don't know when we will get through this devastated year.
In the pharmacy, Jin Chi had just woken up, and Zhu Rong gave him gold sore medicine, and he heard the news that the old lady had a stroke. Jin Chi's eyes widened, staring at the person who sent the letter in disbelief, and a mouthful of blood couldn't help but spurt out, splashing Zhu Rong's body.
He thought that the old lady was in the twilight, gritted her teeth and blushed, and struggled to prop herself up. Even if you climb, you have to climb to Jin's house and send the old lady on her last journey.
In the next few days, Linlang was much more relaxed. After arranging the medicine that should be boiled for the old lady, she quietly slipped out and hid in the rose garden, which was very pleasant. In the Jin Mansion, everyone is absent-minded, and no one will notice that there is a maid missing.
Linlang stayed in the rose garden, thought a lot, and did a lot. The golden-backed centipede has been sent back to Yu Linlang, and the next thing is to get the Heartless Cicada from Mrs. Chi's hands. With these two flavors of medicine, the poison of the righteous father can be forced out.
As for the eldest lady, Linlang also thought of a countermeasure. The first thing to do is to let her know that the baby in the womb is not born smoothly!
"Miss, there is news from the sect that the golden-backed centipede has been received. The weather is warm, the sect master is fine, and the young lady is more attentive to her body. Ling Shan sat opposite Linlang. Outside the window is the blue sky, white clouds, and roses are in full bloom, but inside the window, the face is haggard, and the lonely heart is uneasy.
"Got it."
Lin Lang opened his eyes slowly, and his emaciated cheeks and cheekbones were raised high. The corners of his eyes were bloodshot, and at first glance they looked like the eyes of a red wolf.
Ling Shan jumped back suddenly, she hadn't seen Linlang's red wolf venom attack, Linlang was like this at that time, her eyes were red, and she was bloodthirsty and slaughtering.
"I'm fine!" An indifferent voice came from chapped lips, like a voice from outside the sky, sounding hollow and unforgiving. "Ling Shan, help me prepare a suit of clothes that have been soaked in water and faded, and surprise the eldest lady tonight!"
