Chapter 148: Back to the Light
I don't know if it was because of my thoughts, or because Mrs. Gu's illness had improved, Ran Ran felt at ease, and before the third watch arrived, Ran Ran was so sleepy that she couldn't help but fall asleep on the side of the bed.
This night, she had a dream, as if watching a replay. From the beginning when Hu Pozi was shouting all over the mountain with her clothes, she dreamed that she ran to Gu Lianzhao's window and startled him, and dreamed that Gu Lianzhao asked her family to beat her, and her whole body was full of flesh, but the next moment she was pulled all over the mountain.
Running and running, Gu Lianzhao, who was pulling her, disappeared, but a sea of fire appeared in front of her. She was terrified, but she couldn't control her heavy legs, and she saw the tongue of fire slowly licking towards her, when a voice sounded in her ears again, and the fire gradually dimmed.
"Ran."
"Let me sleep a little longer, don't make any noise."
"Ran."
"I told me to sleep a little longer, are you annoying. Grandmother! ”
instinctively thought that Shen Jia was telling her to get up, but suddenly a brain stirred and scared her to jump. She has been keeping vigil in Old Madam Gu's house for the past few days, and Shen Jia sleeps until she runs to wake up every time, how can she take the initiative to come over.
Holding her manic chest, she turned her head to see that Old Madam Gu's eyes were slightly open, her dry fingers were gently scratching her arms, and a hoarse voice came out of her mouth.
Ran Ran woke up instantly, she rushed over, leaned close to Old Madam Gu's ear and asked, "Grandmother, you just called me?" Isn't it?! ”
"Ran." Old Madam Gu blinked her eyes and shouted again.
This voice was clear and loud, almost grabbing Ranran's soul, she rubbed her eyes, and said excitedly: "I'm here, I'm here, I didn't pay attention just now, I fell asleep, what's wrong with you, is it uncomfortable, or do you want to go to the toilet." Or ......"
Last night, I was worried that Old Madam Gu would forget her again after waking up, and it seemed that she was really getting better.
Old Madam Gu's palm pressed hard against Ranran, as if she wanted to hold it up, but in fact, the whole person barely moved. She struggled to spit out a few words: "Hu, get up." ”
For so long. It was the first time she heard Old Madam Gu ask to get up, and Ran Ran was excited and panicked. At this moment, Ah Fu and Nanshan have gone out, Shen Jia is still sleeping a lot, her small body wants to help Mrs. Gu up, I'm afraid it won't be good to do it hard.
She gritted her teeth. It took most of the day to finally let Old Madam Gu lie on the bed obliquely. After stuffing four or five pillows behind Old Madam Gu's back, Ran Ran was already tired and sweating.
"Be careful, take your time. Is that okay, do you want me to find another mat? ”
"No, it's fine."
"Then you ......" The surprise came too suddenly, and Ran Ran was a little in a hurry.
Old Madam Gu looked at her, her face was full of love, and she said in a very slow voice: "Ranran, thank you for your hard work." ”
"Grandmother. It's not hard, it's not hard at all. Ran Ran's nose suddenly soured, gritted her teeth and held back tears, and shook her head with a smile.
The discomfort of sitting made Old Madam Gu tired, and it took her a long time to adjust her posture, and only when she was stable did she slowly speak.
"I want to wash my face and change my clothes." In the past year, in addition to lying on the bed, Mrs. Gu was helped to the rocking chair by Ah Fu and them. I haven't been out of the room, so I haven't worn my coat.
Ran Ran was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly came to Yuecheng from the Gu family, not to mention Old Madam Gu. Even she only went to the ready-to-wear store and bought a few sets of clothes that could be changed. Thinking that Mrs. Gu was sick in bed, and hurried to make a few sets of Chinese clothes and pants, she didn't think about buying clothes for her, so where to let her go to find clothes at this time.
"Change of clothes? Wait a minute, I'll fetch water to wash your face first. Ran ran found an excuse to slip out.
I brought warm water and carefully wiped Mrs. Gu's face and hands. The whole person seems to be refreshed. For fear that Old Madam Gu would mention the matter of clothes again, Ran Ran offered to comb her hair, and Old Madam Gu readily agreed.
For Ranran, combing Mrs. Gu's hair is already a matter of practice makes perfect, and with interest, she also drew her eyebrows to Mrs. Gu, making her look more energetic. Looking at the blurred reflection in the mirror, Ran Ran sighed with emotion: "Grandmother, you are so good-looking now, you must have been a great beauty when you were young." ”
"Poor mouth." Old Madam Gu also looked very happy, and scolded with a smile.
"Why, what I said was true." Ranran stuck out her tongue and grimaced, as if she had gone back to the past. "No, I'm lying, because my grandmother is as beautiful as she was when she was younger."
Old Madam Gu looked at the appearance in the mirror for a long time, as if she could really see when she was young. Suddenly, she asked softly, "How many things are left?" Unable to wait for Ran Ran to respond, he added: "How much jewelry do I have left." ”
Ran Ran felt a sigh in her heart, but she didn't expect that Old Madam Gu would be calm now, and she even knew about her selling jewelry. I thought that in this year, Mrs. Gu was so sick that she couldn't remember anything clearly, but now when she asked, Ran Ran immediately got up and apologized.
"I'm sorry grandmother, I sold some, but most of them are still there, I'll get them for you." She ran to the foot couch at the end of the bed and pulled out a secret compartment, which was full of jewelry that Miao Ling had given her at the beginning, and although some of it was sold, most of it was still there, "It's all here." ”
Old Madam Gu only glanced at it, and she didn't blame, but just said, "Look for it, is there a red plum branch." ”
Ran Ran quickly found a ruby plum hairpin and handed it to Old Madam Gu: "Yes." ”
Old Madam Gu didn't even look at it, and said, "Tired silk inlaid treasure ring." ”
After looking for a long time and not finding it, seeing that Old Madam Gu's brows were furrowed, Ran Ran was even more anxious, but fortunately, she finally turned it out.
"It's all here, it's all here, it's all good thing."
Hearing Old Madam Gu talking to herself with relief, Ran Ran also breathed a sigh of relief. She sold her jewelry, but after not exchanging a few dollars, she slowly began to sell the jewelry of Yao and others one by one, and most of the ones left behind were commonly used by Mrs. Gu.
Old Madam Gu put two things in her hands, "Ranran, listen...... All can be sold, these two, no. ”
"Grandmother, don't worry, I can make money to support you, and I won't sell these things again." Ranran comforted.
Old Madam Gu shook her head, and said intermittently and slowly and slowly: "Go back to my room, under the flower stand, there is a hole, there is a hole that can be opened, and there is a box in the hole." The mouth of the bowl is large, and the red sandalwood is covered with gold. ”
Ran Ran's mind spun around, and she got up and handed over the box that Ah Fu had given her, "Is this what you said?!" ”
Old Madam Gu's eyes lit up and nodded: "Put these three away and give them to Zhao'er." ”
"I know, I will definitely hand it over to the young master." Ran Ran secretly rejoiced, fortunately, she didn't make a mistake in the first place.
However, Old Madam Gu's words confused her, "He must come to ask you in person before he can give it to him." Otherwise, don't give it. ”
"Does the young master know about this thing?" Ranran frowned.
"If he hadn't asked himself, you would have hid it and wouldn't give it to anyone. If he doesn't come and doesn't want you, that's a dowry. Old Madam Gu shook her head and clenched her hand, "If Zhao'er doesn't come back, don't wait, you're still young." ”
"I don't wait for anyone, I stay with my grandmother." Ran Ran's nose was sour, and she felt that as long as she blinked, tears would fall, so she got up with an excuse, "Grandmother, you and I have cooked porridge, go and serve it to you." ”
When she rushed out, she happened to meet Shen Jia leading the doctor in, and Ran Ran was surprised that Shen Jia had gotten up so early.
"You go in with the doctor, I'll scoop a bowl of porridge, I see that my grandmother's spirit is good, and her appetite should be good."
When she went to the cubicle, a small charcoal stove was still simmering on the floor, and she went to open the lid in a hurry, only to be so hot that she jumped.
At this time, Shen Jia rushed in and said with an embarrassed face: "The old lady is gone." ”
Ran Ran was dumbfounded, she came back to her senses, roared loudly, and ran back. "How is that possible! She was talking to me just now, you lied to me! ”
When he walked back, the doctor was holding a piece of feather and putting it on Mrs. Gu's face, looking at the feather quietly, pulling Mrs. Gu's clothes and shaking it vigorously.
"Ranran, don't be like this, the old lady is already gone." Shen Jia also felt very uncomfortable, but she didn't expect that when she came in, Old Madam Gu was no longer good.
"Shut up! Grandmother just fell asleep! Ran Ran cried and yelled at Shen Jia.
Ah Fu also just came back from outside, he was uneasy as soon as he went out this morning, but he didn't expect to come back and meet the doctor leaving helplessly, he knew that something was wrong.
"Ah Fu, go and ask for a doctor, and invite all the doctors in Moon City to me!" (To be continued.) )
