Chapter 144: June Roasting Fire
The direction of Shen Xingchen's next life was decided by Tang Shangyi's words, although he still couldn't speak from Ah Shuang's mouth, but fortunately, he stayed. Ah Shuang almost carried out Tang Shangyi's instructions to the end, except for the inexplicable extra working hours at night, the rest of the time was where to go, cautious, for fear that she would make a mistake.
It's been like this for two days in a row, and Shen Xingchen really can't hold back the curiosity in his heart today. She moved her muscles and bones, and asked in the most casual tone while drinking water: "Ah Shuang, do you still want to go out tonight? You have been busy all day today, aren't you tired? Otherwise, I will go over with you to help, two people are better than one person, we can both rest early after finishing early, and we will have to get up early tomorrow." ”
These words sound really sincere, so that Ah Shuang can't find anything wrong anymore. For this cousin who has not been seen for many years, although Ah Shuang is distressed, she also maintains a skeptical attitude, not her identity, but her temperament, whether she can really stay in Hongfeng Villa for a long time will not bring harm to the villa. After getting along day and night for two days and acting in style, she can probably still understand her temperament now. Talking little, a little shy, kind, but calm.
The sense of crisis was lifted, and Ah Shuang thought back to what he had to do tonight, and it was indeed not convenient to be alone. "It's fine, but you have to make sure that you can't talk nonsense in front of anyone no matter what you see." ”
Well, Ah Shuang looks like she wants to do something unseemly, she voluntarily joined the shares, and she had to be threatened by her to keep silent. Ah Shuang's careful thoughts about her were all written on those dripping eyes, and she was told to do things during the day, pretending to leave, but in fact, she hid not far away and observed silently, and when she slept at night, there were a lot of small movements, as long as Shen Xingchen inadvertently turned over, she didn't dare to move, but she was short of breath, and her suddenly stiff body still betrayed her. Therefore, Shen Xingchen has been very well-behaved in the past two days, but he is deliberately cultivating a good image.
The effect is remarkable, and Ah Shuang's regression is a good proof. But the more this happened, the more curious Shen Xingchen became. This curiosity was really a blow when Ah Shuang appeared at that destination.
The courtyard environment is elegant and quiet, the entrance is a winding bluestone road, the white wall, surrounded by various flowers and trees on both sides, it is meticulously pruned, there is a small pond around it, a small fish naughtily provokes, disturbing the pond Qinghui, the moonlight is broken into a pool, but it is quickly restored like a mirror. Quiet and peaceful night! The sight is blocked, but the sense of smell is unusually keen, and there are wisps of sweetness in the air, at the beginning it is an elegant floral fragrance, and the more you go inside, the more obvious the clear bamboo fragrance becomes.
A bamboo forest, the breeze blows, and the bamboo leaves whisper. Red Maple Villa covers a wide area, and this small courtyard is very remote and elegant, compared to the courtyard where she and Feng Feifei live, it is much smaller, but Shen Xingchen prefers the atmosphere here.
"What are we doing here?"
Shen Xingchen asked suspiciously, but she knew very well in her heart that she had never been to this elegant little courtyard before. The lights in the room were on, but there was no figure in sight.
"Keep up!"
Ah Shuang carried a lantern in one hand, walked forward without stopping, and called her. The dim candlelight swept through the lantern skeleton and shallow light, Ah Shuang suddenly turned around when he realized that Shen Xingchen had not kept up with her rhythm, and a big white face shocked Shen Xingchen's thoughts: "What a daze, be smart!"
Pushing open the door, the two entered the room one after the other. As soon as I entered the room, an unusual heat wave swept in. The decoration is very simple, and when you cross the screen, you can see a bed, on which is a person lying on the bed, the red curtain covers the face, and it vaguely looks like the outline of a woman.
It was indeed a woman, and it was understandable that there was a dresser in the room, but under the bed were two bright coal-fires, which were burning vigorously, with occasional blue-black smoke rising and a suffocating gas in the air. Shen Xingchen subconsciously leaned against the window, fortunately it was not closed, otherwise the person on the bed would have been suffocated to death if he was not suffocated by the heat. She hurried over, widening the gap in the window.
"What are you doing?"
Ah Shuang exclaimed, and hurriedly ran over to close the window, maintaining the state of a crack just now.
"You're going to kill people like this, it's June now. ”
Shen Xingchen's gaze swept over the charcoal fire and finally fell on Ah Shuang, arguing with reason, without giving in, Ah Shuang held her hand, not giving in to each other, the look on his face was angry and annoyed: "You don't know anything, don't move." Miss is sick, she can't see the wind, she can't suffer the cold. ””
"Sick, what's sick? Why don't you ask a doctor to come and see you?"
Ah Shuang took advantage of Shen Xingchen's stunned moment, took her hand and walked to the bedside, Ah Shuang sighed and explained very lowly: "Look, this is God's way of healing." ”
Illness is not treated with medicine, but by letting the patient roast on a fire in June, this kind of unconventional treatment method is really unheard of. Where is the miracle doctor, it is clearly a miracle stick, one dares to say and the other dares to obey. Feng Feifei is tossed like this, Feng Longteng will lose her only daughter sooner or later. However, Feng Longteng is not the kind of person who is not firm in his thoughts, and he actually agrees with this kind of unbelievable treatment? This is even more puzzling.
"What is she sick with?"
Ah Shuang glanced at Shen Xingchen indifferently, and this time he didn't answer her question directly.
Shen Xingchen: Okay, this is offending the little girl again, and I have a gap in my heart. When did she and Feng Feifei have such a close relationship? What happened during her absence for three months? Shen Xingchen felt a little sour in his heart, and he didn't plan to ask any more questions for the time being, for fear that it would backfire.
Outside the house, there was a sudden sound of small footsteps, which gradually approached, and then there was a knock on the door. Who is this point? Shen Xingchen looked at Ah Shuang, Ah Shuang's expression remained unchanged, and he replied softly: "Come in quickly." Don't wait for the water to get cold. ”
The two little girls entered the door, put down the things in their hands, entered the door and went out, and disappeared into the room without leaving half a look.
Shen Xingchen's curious gaze fell on the basin that was being clasped together, what was inside, could it be the ultimate cure of that divine stick?
"Bring it here. Ah Shuang's tone was already a little impatient. Shen Xingchen had to temporarily put away his overflowing curiosity and act according to her words. The basin is very hot, not heavy, like a liquid, it will shake with her footsteps, Shen Xingchen guessed that it was medicine? It must not be used to drink, a medicinal bath? A stool was placed next to the bed, and when Shen Xingchen put down the unknown liquid, Ah Shuang hung the fluttering curtain on the golden hooks on both sides, revealing a miserable white face.
Seeing that face, Shen Xingchen's whole body was numb. Slender eyebrows, a straight nose, two thin lips tightly closed, almost transparent pink, the round melon seed face has shrunk into a standard melon seed face, the fleshy chin is also a little mean, and the body wrapped in the heavy quilt is extremely slender. She has been looking at this face for seventeen years, although it is very different from three months ago, but she can recognize it when it turns to ashes, it is Feng Xiaoxiao.
Dead or alive? Her breath was so faint that one thought it was just a dead body that had not decomposed, but the beads of sweat on her forehead strongly showed that she was alive, though half dead.
"Close the window, there is a veil in the cupboard over there, and the clothes are ......."
Ah Shuang didn't notice that Shen Xingchen was wrong, and instructed her to do things without intention. Shen Xingchen is a walking corpse who generally listens to her dispatch. When everything was ready, Ah Shuang lifted the quilt and began to take off Xiaoxiao's clothes. The movements are very skillful, and it seems that this thing is not less. In addition, Feng Xiaoxiao's clothes were already worn less, and after a while, only her belly pocket was left.
I won't strip naked. Shen Xingchen subconsciously grabbed his collar, but unfortunately it backfired.
"Why are you stunned, hurry up and help wipe it, you can't stand the cold. ”
Shen Xingchen never expected to see Feng Xiaoxiao alive, let alone the first thing he would do in Hongfeng Villa was to help her wipe her body. There is nothing, she blushes for herself, this feeling is really not good, during this period, she doesn't know where to put her eyes.
Fortunately, the two of them are matched together, which is both effective and fast. Ah Shuang took a long breath after placing Feng Xiaoxiao, and there was also a layer of sweat on his forehead, which was either tired or hot.
"It's too hot in this room, can Miss stand it? Shen Xingchen picked up Feng Xiaoxiao's changed clothes, and a heavy smell of sweat was like shoes that had not been washed for several years, and he panicked.
"If you can't stand it, you have to bear it, it's all ordered by the divine doctor to do this. ”
Shen Xingchen: "How long has this treatment been going on?, is that divine doctor still in Red Maple Villa?"
"Yes. Ah Shuang said solemnly: "The miracle doctor came to Hongfeng Villa ten days ago, and after seeing the young lady's condition, he used this fire therapy. The first stage lasts half a month, and if it works, the young lady will wake up in a few days. I'm sure Miss will wake up. ”
An unrealistic story, Ah Shuang actually believed it and agreed with it very much, and not only Ah Shuang, but the people who cared about Feng Xiaoxiao in the entire Red Maple Villa were bowed down, otherwise such an unreasonable method, who would believe it. Shen Xingchen was speechless, so it was a miracle that Feng Xiaoxiao had been roasted alive for ten days, and he didn't die. Whether you can wake up or not, it's really unknown, the soul of the main owner is in someone else's body.
"That magic stick, no, it's a divine doctor, what kind of person is he, how does he know that the eldest lady is sick?" Shen Xingchen suddenly remembered the gossip of a few people in the guest house that day, and asked tentatively: "The owner of the village found it?"
"No, it's a master that my uncle secretly found. ”
Hehe, Lin Fengqin is suspicious that Feng Xiaoxiao is not dead. was afraid that the reason for Feng Xiaoxiao's poisoning would be exposed, and he wanted to maintain his character as a good son-in-law, so he deliberately found a so-called master to direct and perform the drama of 'deep love between husband and wife' to clear his suspicion.
If you want to pierce Lin Fengqin's ugly face, this miracle doctor is also very crucial. Looks like we'll have to find a meeting with him sometime.
