Chapter Eighty-Four: Little Girl
The air dead wind lamp on the corner of the street hung high, and a gust of wind blew and swayed, and the candlelight swayed, pulling the shadow of the person. The streets were dwindling, and only a few vendors were still yawning and tidying up.
Scar turned around the corner and followed his memory into the alley. When he walked to the entrance of the alley, he found that it was dark inside, and he forgot to bring a wind lamp.
"Little brother, the lantern is borrowed from me." Scar turned to a young man pushing a cart passing behind him.
The man looked down at the wind lamp in his hand, and then at the figure of Scar, especially the long scar on his face, and was entangled in his heart, so he handed the wind lamp to Scar and pushed the cart away in a hurry.
Taking the wind lantern, Scar glanced at the figure that had left in a hurry, and turned to walk towards the alley.
The thatched house still smelled the same, the scar didn't seem to smell it, his brows didn't wrinkle, he gently pushed open the door, heard the creaking sound of the door opening in the silent night, slowly put the lantern in and took a look around, and didn't find anything unusual, so he raised his feet and went in.
The thatched hut is small and messy, with a few toilets on one side of the inside, and some rotten grass, broken tables and chairs piled up near the door on the left.
Jiang Chun was frightened and confused, and his words were reversed, and Scar had no way of knowing where she saw the dead man, so he had to go in and look for it slowly.
The little girl has a stomach, and the time to come in is not short, it should have been solved, and then it is cleaned up to get up and go out, and after getting up, you have to go to the toilet with some fragrant ash to cover up the smell, so you need to get here.
Scar silently thought about the situation after Jiang Chun entered the thatched house, and slowly put the wind lantern in the place where the incense ash was placed. There is nothing anywhere, could it be that the little girl who is not well lit has seen it wrong?
Scar thought about it and denied it, Jiang Chun was obviously frightened. She must have seen something to be scared like that.
Dead person? Scar thought for a moment and put his hand into the incense ash, which was incense ash and didn't find anything else. Could it be...... As soon as Scar looked up, he saw a pair of round and bulging eyes, and he was suddenly startled, even if he was so calm, he was also taken aback.
"Help me." A faint voice came. Although Scar was startled by the figure he had just suddenly seen, the faint voice still indicated that it was a person, a living person.
Place the wind lamp on the table next to it. Scar stepped forward in three or two steps and put his hand on the pulse of the person on the ground, feeling the faint pulse, and then he breathed a great sigh of relief and picked the person up. Even the lights didn't pay attention. Quickly ran to the inn.
Old Chen Tou stared at the staircase quietly, wanting to ask about the scar, but saw him holding a child in his arms and hurriedly came up.
"Go to the doctor." Scar gasped.
Jiang Shun also knew that the situation was urgent, so he pulled out his legs and went downstairs, found the inn Xiao Er, asked the nearest medical hall and ran out.
The movement outside alarmed Jiang Quinoa, and she opened the door just in time to see the situation in the opposite room.
"What is this?" Jiang asked as he pointed to the child who had been gently placed on the bed by the scar.
Scar's brow furrowed and he said, "I just went to that hut." Finding such a little guy. ”
Jiang Quino's heart moved when he heard this, and his eyes lit up. asked in a brisk tone: "Could it be that Chun'er saw this child?" ”
Scar wasn't sure, he replied, "I went to the hut and found only this little guy, and Miss Chun'er saw whether it was him or not, and I want Miss Chun'er to confirm." ”
Jiang Qu thought about it, this matter should not be delayed, so he did not hesitate, turned around and went back to the house. Jiang Chun didn't sleep steadily, his mouth was full of words, and his hands kept waving, as if he wanted to throw away the dirty things on his hands.
"Chun'er, Chun'er, wake up." Jiang Quinoa gently pushed her, Jiang Chun's whole body trembled, and he opened his eyes in horror.
Jiang Qu held her hand and comforted her in a soft voice: "Don't be afraid, Chun'er, I'm here." Don't be afraid, you see it's me. ”
It may be that Jiang Quinoa's voice soothed her, Jiang Chun slowly calmed down, and then she felt that her mouth was very dry, and she said hoarsely: "Thirsty." ”
Knowing that thirst is really waking up, Jiang Quinoa answered crisply, took a pillow and put it under her, let her lean lightly on the head of the bed, got up and went to the table to get a cup of warm tea.
Jiang Chun took the tea and drank it in a big gulp, the tea soaked through his dry throat, and his heart suddenly felt happy.
"What time is it?" It was very quiet outside, Jiang Chun asked suspiciously.
Jiang Quinoa looked at the drip pot and said, "It's three o'clock." ”
It was still quite early, Jiang Chunzheng was wondering why Jiang Quinoa called her up at this time, and heard the sound of people walking on the wooden stairs outside, and Jiang Shun's voice also wore through: "Hurry up, hurry up." ”
Saving people is like saving lives, and there is no urgency for a moment.
Hearing the sound outside, Jiang Qu remembered her original intention of waking Jiang Chun up, and said, "Hurry up and go to the opposite room, Scar went to the thatched house and saved someone." ”
Save? Jiang Chun was puzzled, got up and followed Jiang Quinoa to the next room.
Jiang Shun carried the doctor's medicine box on his back, standing aside panting, but the gray-haired doctor looked more relaxed than him, sitting firmly at the head of the bed, holding his beard and concentrating on his pulse.
After such a while, the child's face and hands on the bed were much cleaner, and Jiang Quinoa looked at the basin in the room, and sure enough, it was black and swarthy. I think it should be that Lao Chen Tou has just scrubbed the child.
The old doctor checked the pulse and said, "Tsk, who is so ruthless and has such a heavy hand on a child." ”
Scar and Old Chen looked at each other, their faces solemn. They all have kung fu on their bodies, and at a glance they know that the injuries on this child's body are not simple, and they can see the usual bruises, but this child is an internal injury at a glance, who will be a little child heavy?
The old doctor shook his head and wrote a prescription for it, and advised: "Hurry up and boil the medicine for him to drink, you have to take care of it tonight, it's good if you don't have a fever, if you have a fever, lower the heat quickly, otherwise you won't survive tomorrow." ”
Jiang Quinoa and the others nodded again and again, and asked some scruples. I wrote it down by heart.
Jiang Shun took the prescription, took the two taels of silver handed over by Jiang Quinoa, and helped the old doctor carry the medicine box and leave with him. Don't bother the two masters. He simply followed the old doctor to his pharmacy and grabbed the medicine and came back to boil it.
Jiang Chun held Jiang Quino's hand tightly and asked in a trembling voice, "Who is he?" ”
Jiang Quinoa followed her gaze and saw that it was the child who was being picked up by Scar lying on the bed, and asked, "Don't you remember, you said that you saw a dead person in the thatched house, and Master Li was not at ease, so he ran away again just now." Brought him back. ”
Jiang Chun's eyes widened in disbelief, and he trembled: "You mean ......" pointed at the child.
Jiang Quinoa nodded and affirmed, "He is the only one found in the thatched house." You must have been dark and didn't see clearly, and you were scared so you didn't pay attention. What you see is not a dead person at all, but a living person who has been wounded. ”
She went to scoop the ashes, but it was dark and she didn't see clearly that she had touched the table. She felt something soft. Curiously picked it up, and looked at the light leaking in from the outside to see that it was a hand. The hands were cold, and there was no temperature at all.
Only the dead are cold, without temperature.
She was so frightened that she didn't dare to delay inside, and ran out in a panic, if it weren't for Jiang Quinoa dragging her, she wouldn't be able to walk at all with weak legs. It turned out that what she saw was not a dead person, but a living person.
"Thank you, Master Li." Jiang Chun had tears in his eyes. Grateful to Scar.
Scar went downstairs and brought up two more buckets of hot water, and when he entered the door, he heard the little girl's words of gratitude. Puzzled, he subconsciously said, "You're welcome." After speaking, he reacted and asked, "What do you thank me?" ”
Jiang Chun pointed to the little child on the bed and said, "Thank you for saving him." "If you don't save him, maybe we'll leave here tomorrow, and I'll forget about tonight, and I won't know that I didn't realize it was a living person because I was scared. Without me, he could have been saved by someone else, or he might have died because there was no one to help him. But thank you for saving him and giving me a chance to atone for my sins.
If you want to thank him for saving this child, it should be him to thank you, what are you thanking for? Scar thought to himself, but thought that at night, the two little girls could giggle and comment on the common things outside, thinking that they had different opinions, so he didn't care.
Jiang Shun bought the medicine and came back, Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun took it downstairs to the kitchen to boil the medicine, and the room was left to Lao Chen Tou and them to wash the children.
As soon as he mixed the water and put the small pot of boiling medicine on the stove, Jiang Shun came down with a red face, and said angrily: "I'll boil the medicine, you guys go up." ”
Jiang Chun held the fan and didn't let go, as long as she thought that if Scar hadn't gone this way, a living life might have passed away because of her, she was very uneasy, so she said, "I'll boil the medicine, you won't." ”
Jiang Shun wanted to grab the fan again, but Jiang Chun dodged it, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "You guys go up and wash that little girl." ”
Although his voice was small, Jiang Quinoa heard it clearly, and couldn't help but raise his voice and said, "Little girl? ”
Jiang Shun's face turned red again, his head was so low that he couldn't see it anymore, and said, "The doctor asked the little girl to clean it so that she can recuperate." After Master Li mixed the water, Uncle Chen took off her pants and found out that it was a little girl. Let me come down and tell you to go up. ”
Three big men look at a little girl? Jiang Quinoa was startled. But then I think about it, that little kid should only be five or six years old, and that's still a kid.
When Jiang Quinoa and the others went up, Lao Chen Tou and Scar had already closed the door and were guarding the door, and their faces were not very natural.
The little girl in the house was lying quietly on the bed, covered with a quilt. Jiang Quinoa lifted the quilt, and when she saw that the clothes on her body were well dressed, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Lao Chen was quite careful.
Jiang Quinoa also heard the doctor's words, and Jiang Chun and Jiang Chun carefully avoided the injuries on the little girl's body, carried her into the hot water bucket, and cleaned her.
The little girl was greatly injured, and she lay in a filthy place like a thatched house, and her body was dirty and smelly. Jiang Quinoa was sweating profusely, and she changed the water three times, so that the little girl was cleaned.
Looking at the little girl's white face, Jiang Quinoa couldn't help but sigh, although she was young and not very obvious, but this red lips and white teeth were obviously a little beauty.
Jiang Shun brought the boiled decoction, and Jiang Quinoa carefully fed it to the little girl's mouth, but fortunately, the little girl could still swallow it.
At night, Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun were guarding the house, worried that the little girl would have a fever. Recently, they were in a hurry, and they couldn't sleep at night, and they could sleep in the carriage during the day, but it was not in the way. But Scar and Lao Chen, one is the leader and the other is in the car, so they need to have a good rest.
In the middle of the night, the little girl had a fever, and Jiang Quinoa and the others found it in time, and wiped the little girl's body with strong wine, and worked until dawn to let the little girl get rid of the fever. The two of them collapsed all over their bodies, and their brains were as if they had been filled with grout, and they were groggy.
Early in the morning, Scar and they were still not at ease, so they came over to take a look when they got up.
"I had a fever in the evening, and I talked nonsense for a while in the morning, and then I fell asleep. I have to fill the medicine again in the morning. Jiang Quinoa rubbed his eyes and said, yawning in the middle of speaking.
Scar saw that her eyes were dark, and said, "You go to rest first, Jiang Shun has already gone to boil medicine for her." ”
Jiang Quinoa answered, went back to the room with Jiang Chun and washed his face with cold water, sobered up, and went downstairs to have breakfast.
The people in the dart bureau didn't know that Scar had saved a person last night, and after hearing about it in the morning, they all came to ask Jiang Quinoa about the little girl, and when they heard that the little girl was fine, they were all relieved, and then they asked how they saved this little girl.
What Scar said yesterday is roughly that he went to the thatched house to look for it carefully. Jiang Quinoa said a few words simply, but he didn't mention Jiang Chun's matter.
After breakfast, Jiang Shun also fed the little girl medicine. Scar and Old Chen frowned, discussing the next trip with a heavy face.
"This little girl has injuries on her body, and following us will definitely not be good for her to recuperate, so I think it's better to find a place to foster her and make a decision when we return." Scar said that as the person in charge of this dart, every decision he made had to be taken into account.
Lao Chen Tou also knew that what he said was right, and they were bumpy in the carriage, even Jiang Quinoa and they couldn't stand it, not to mention a seriously injured aunt and grandmother, but left the little girl behind, "We don't have acquaintances here, who knows if the entrusted person will take care of the little girl." This child is injured, not only to see a doctor and take medicine, but also to take care of it, who would want to? We don't know what the identity of this little girl is, why she was injured, since she saved someone, let's save it to the end. ”
The two were at a stalemate, and Jiang Chun was worried. She cares a lot about the life and death of the little girl.
Neither of them could convince anyone, but in the end, it was Jiang Qu who took the idea: "It's better to let the little girl go with us." Chun'er and I can take care of her in the carriage, Uncle Chen's car is smooth and steady, let's take the official road today, the road is slower, it should not be much of an obstacle. ”
Obviously, everyone wanted to take this little girl with them, and Scar no longer insisted on leaving the little girl, so he went down to inspect the convoy, and Jiang Shun picked up the little girl and sent her to the carriage lightly, and the group set off. (To be continued......)
