CHAPTER XXV
readx;
Hongyi was stunned for a moment, until Meng Yangshu woke up and turned his head to look at them, "What's the matter, early in the morning, why do you have this expression?" ”
No wonder he was puzzled, Hongyi's expression at the moment, he really had never seen it. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info seem to be ashamed, annoyed, and helpless.
Hongyi was stunned, subconsciously looked down at Zhengxiang who was sleeping, Ji Xiaotao who showed no sign of waking up, and then pulled the corners of Meng Yangshu's mouth and smiled, "It's okay, I slept too late yesterday, and I was pressed by Xiao Tao, and my body couldn't stretch." ”
"I worked hard for you last night, I was sick and confused, and I made you worry all night," Meng Yangshu pulled his chapped lips, he wanted to expand his smile, but no, his lips hurt terribly.
"We're really fine, how are you feeling now? Do you want to drink water? Hongyi tried his best to ignore the guy lying on him, but this smile was a bit far-fetched.
Meng Yangshu supported the kang with both hands, and slowly moved up a little, originally lying down, but now he was half-leaning on the kang, "No need, you can sleep, my father and mother will come over later." ”
His gaze inadvertently fell on Xiao Tao's face.
From his point of view, Xiao Tao is draped in hair, and her little face is lying on Hongyi's chest, her face is pink, and her slightly upturned mouth is also pink in color, like a ripe strawberry, which makes people want to take a bite when they look at it.
Because the sleeping position was too indecent, the clothes on the neckline were torn open, revealing a white collarbone.
Hongyi was thinking about how to get the person on his body down, when he saw that Meng Yangshu's eyes were wrong.
Following his eyes, he looked at himself, and at the same time, his heart sank, and he quickly pulled the quilt and covered Xiao Tao's neck.
He was a little embarrassed, and said to Meng Yangshu a little sneeringly: "This kid is not honest in sleeping, rolling around, this night, I am about to be crushed to death by him." ”
Meng Yangshu smiled faintly and expressed the doubts in his heart, "You see Xiao Tao sleeping like this, she doesn't look like a girl." "Don't blame him for being suspicious, thinking of Xiao Tao's appearance just now......
Hongyi's heart trembled slightly, and he quickly denied it: "How is it possible! With his temperament, he doesn't look like a girl, Xiao Tao is studying medicine, how can he be like us, exposed to the wind and sun. ”
Meng Yangshu thought about it, without basking in the sun, his skin was naturally white and tender.
"Poplar, are you awake?" Father Meng knocked on the door outside.
"Oh, just up," Meng Yangshu replied to him.
Immediately after, the door opened.
Hongyi pulled the quilt up a little more, completely covering Xiao Tao's head. Because Xiao Tao is petite, looking through the quilt, it looks like Hongyi is a big fat man.
When Father Meng came in, he saw that Hongyi was also awake, but he didn't see Ji Xiaotao, only a large bulging piece of Hongyi's body, and his face was puzzled, "Huh...... Where is Ji Xiaolangzhong? Didn't you go out early in the morning? ”
Hongyi laughed dryly, "She's still asleep, the quilt is small, and she's squeezing with me." He explained, but refused to pull the quilt off.
Father Meng listened to his explanation, didn't think much about it, walked to Meng Yangshu's side, first lifted the quilt, looked at his wounds, and then looked at his face, which was as pale as paper.
Father Meng was distressed, "Yang Shu, let your mother kill another chicken today, make up for your body, shed so much blood, I don't know when I will be able to make up for it." ”
"Dad, don't kill chickens anymore, there aren't many chickens in the house, and besides, this blood tonic is not something that was brought back all at once, am I not drinking medicine? A few more days of recuperation, you can always make up for it. ”
"That's not going to work......"
"Hmm......"
Father Meng was about to speak again when he heard a muttered voice.
Xiao Tao was woken up by Father Meng's loud voice, she raised her head from Hongyi's chest, her eyes were not fully opened, she stared in a daze, and for a while, she didn't understand the situation at all.
Hongyi was slightly shocked in his heart, seeing that she was about to get up, and seeing that Meng's father and Meng Yangshu both looked at him, he raised his hand, pressed the back of Xiao Tao's head, and pressed the person back to his chest, and smiled at them apologetically, "She hasn't woken up yet, you don't have to worry about her." ”
Xiao Tao really hadn't woken up yet, and was pressed by Hongyi, and his cheek was pressed against his chest again, warm, solid and soft.
Father Meng smiled and said: "Thanks to Xiao Tao last night, if she wasn't here, we would all mess up, and it would be appropriate to sleep more, so I'll cook with my wife, and you will get up for breakfast later." ”
When Father Meng opened the door and went out, Xiao Tao's chaotic consciousness finally returned.
She blinked her eyes and was stunned for a moment before she suddenly felt something wrong with the touch under her body and under the palm of her hand.
It's not just wrong, it's terrifying.
She got up, and in a hurry, she supported Hongyi's chest with both hands, so that her eyes were on line with Hongyi.
The posture is ambiguous, and Hongyi's eyes are even more weird.
Fortunately, Xiao Tao is not thin-skinned, after a short period of stunned, she returned to normal, yawned, and said: "I'm really sorry, I was too tired last night, and I slept too soundly, and I squeezed you." ”
She stretched again, then retracted the quilt and rewrapped her loose corset in the dark.
Hongyi couldn't see her hands under the quilt, but her mind flashed the image of her supporting her arms and standing on his chest just now.
"It's okay, I'm not restless when I sleep, and I'm worried about pressing you," his throat rolled dryly, and he also got up, lowering his head and not daring to look at Xiao Tao.
Meng Yangshu looked at the unnatural expressions of the two, and laughed for a while, and when Xiao Tao ran out, he said jokingly: "You two are so awkward, let me see it, and I think Xiao Tao is a woman!" He suddenly rolled his eyes and looked at Hongyi's back, "Hey, Hongyi, if Xiao Tao is really a girl, what should you do?" ”
Hongyi's body stiffened, as if he was frozen, and Meng Yangshu's words were like a hammer, hitting his heart hard.
If...... Is there a what if?
… Is there a what if?
It doesn't seem to be.
But what if?
"Then I will marry her and take care of her for the rest of my life," Hongyi did not look at Meng Yangshu, and his words were not said to him, but to himself.
Meng Yangshu was dumbfounded, this Hongyi, did he say it seriously, or did he say it for fun?
With his understanding of Hongyi, he doesn't think he's joking.
But what he said just now was a complete joke, how could Hongyi take it seriously?
Meng Yangshu felt very sorry, but it was a pity that Xiao Tao was an authentic kid.
After having breakfast at Meng's house, Hongyi also took a porridge packed by Meng's, led Xiao Tao, and went back to their house together.
Ji Langzhong had already gotten up, and when he saw them coming back, he asked about Meng Yangshu's situation, and knew that he was better, so he was relieved.
In the next two days, Hongyi began to repair the earthen kang.
During the day, if the weather is good, Xiao Tao will carry a bamboo basket to pick medicine nearby, if it is not far away, Hongyi will not follow, occasionally go to the mountains, Hongyi is not at ease, must follow.
The set he put down in the mountains can often add some meat dishes to the table of the three.
Before the kang was repaired, the three of them still slept on one kang.
Originally, Xiao Tao slept in the innermost, and Ji Langzhong was separated from her and Hongyi, but on the second night after returning from Meng's house, Ji Langzhong couldn't stand the wind through the window and wanted to sleep inside.
Although Xiao Tao knew that the master was deliberate, he couldn't help but grind hard and soak, plus orders and threats, so he could only follow his wishes and carry his quilt to Hongyi's quilt.
His master was so enthusiastic that Xiao Tao wondered if the master couldn't wait to sell her.
In fact, the bitterness in Ji Liangping's heart will only be revealed in the dead of night.
Just like this, he gasped for heavy breath, rubbed his heart one by one, turned his head, looked at Xiao Tao, who was already asleep across the low table, and smiled with satisfaction.
He didn't have much time to live, and if he didn't grasp it tightly, how could he leave with confidence!
fell asleep side by side with Xiao Tao again, although he didn't sleep on a quilt, Hongyi's heart was still beating like thunder, his eyes were open, and he couldn't sleep.
Different from his entanglement, Xiao Tao slept soundly, her head was next to Hongyi's pillow, and she slept until midnight, one leg was stretched out, and it was forcefully inserted into his quilt, making Hongyi toss and turn.
The goose-feather snow, after a two-day stop, began to fall again.
Approaching the end of the year, fewer people went out to work, and more people stayed at home to cover their nests.
Since the snow, Ji Langzhong has not been out of the house again, and stays at home all day.
Occasionally, people who have come to see a doctor also see a doctor in the house, but no matter how warm they are, their condition is still getting worse day by day.
Day and night, I was coughing, and my body was getting weaker and weaker day by day.
Because of the master's illness, Xiao Tao is no longer as casual and following as before, frowning all day long, and a pair of big watery eyes are full of worry.
Hongyi takes care of them wholeheartedly, from food to clothing, to use, all of them are not willing to do their best.
Seeing Master Ji's condition worsening, he felt bad in his heart, but he couldn't help, so he had to carefully boil the medicine every day, hoping that Master Ji would get better after drinking the medicine.
But it backfired, on the eighteenth day of the lunar month, Ji Langzhong contracted a wind cold, and the illness came like a mountain, this wind cold was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, so that Ji Liangping's life came to an end.
Contracting the wind and cold in winter is a very dangerous thing, plus Ji Langzhong's physique is too poor, and his thin skin and bones can't withstand it at all.
Xiao Tao cried anxiously, Hongyi ran to the town and carried a doctor over, wanting to give Master Ji another look, hoping that he could hold on a little longer.
The result is still the same, he is terminally ill, and the Daluo Immortal can't be saved.
On the twentieth day of the lunar month, Xiao Tao looked at the master's expression was wrong, silently took a set of clothes from the baggage, and went to the next room.
After she left, many people from Siping Village came.
Village Chief Qian, Father Meng, and several old people in the village sat around Ji Langzhong's bed, seeing that his face was bloodless, his eyes were cloudy, and although he was open, he didn't know where to look.
Village Chief Qian said with regret: "Why are you so sick, when you first came, didn't you look good?" ”
"When people are old, they are afraid of the cold in winter, and my father also passed like this that year, alas," Father Meng knew that he was about to die when he saw Ji Liangping's face.
Wind chill is a disease that can be big or small.
It's so small that you can ignore it, carry it yourself, and you can pass without taking medicine. But if it's a severe wind chill, it's really going to kill you.
When Village Chief Qian heard him say this, his heart sank again and he stopped talking.
He has experienced a lot of life and death, there are old people in the village who have passed away, and he also handled it, according to his previous experience, Ji Langzhong's situation is only a matter of one or two days.
The monkey and the big fat, as well as Meng Yangshu, who can go to the ground, all came over, and several people, except for Meng Yangshu, who was sitting, everyone else was standing, looking at Ji Langzhong on the bed with a solemn face.
Hongyi stood quietly by the door, his fists clenched very tightly, at this moment, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart, especially when he saw Xiao Tao's little face that was no longer smiling, and the deeper and deeper eye circles, in his heart, it was like a knife, and he couldn't breathe in pain.
Meng Yan and Meng Shi also came, Ji Langzhong saved one of her brother's legs, and this kindness could not be repaid.
As soon as the two entered the room, Meng began to wipe his tears, "Alas, Xiao Tao's life is really bitter. ”
Everyone understood the meaning of her words, Xiao Tao was an orphan, and finally a master loved her, and now the master is leaving, and she will become an orphan in the future.
Meng Yan's eyes were also red, especially when she saw Hongyi bowing her head and not speaking, how could she not be sad.
But when he rolled his eyes, he didn't see Xiao Tao.
"Hey, where did Little Peach go? Is it out? Meng Yan was worried that Xiao Tao was also real, in her
Really, in her eyes, Xiao Tao is like a little brother next door, and after getting along these days, she loves Xiao Tao more. Seeing that Xiao Tao was not there, she thought she was hiding somewhere to cry, of course she had to ask.
Hongyi also raised his head and glanced at the room, his expression gloomy, "I'll look for it!" ”
He turned around and was about to lift the curtain, but at that moment the curtain was lifted from the outside.
A familiar face, which could not be more familiar, appeared in front of him.
When Xiao Tao reappeared, Hongyi just stared at her face, and for a while, he didn't think too much.
But the Meng family, Meng Yan, and Meng Yangshu, big fat, and monkeys standing behind them, really looked at it.
The big fat rubbed his eyes vigorously, thinking that he was dazzled.
The monkey opened its mouth wide and didn't close it for a long time, and even saliva flowed out, and he didn't even notice it.
Meng Shi and Meng Yan also couldn't take their eyes off it, just like Big Fat, they all thought they were wrong.
Meng Yangshu sat on the chair, and when he saw Xiao Tao standing there, he only felt that a heart was about to pop out of his chest, and he unexpectedly thought of the night when he had a high fever, as if he was not wearing pants, and listened to Hongyi say that Xiao Tao had changed her medicine several times.
Thinking of this, Meng Yangshu was like sitting on pins and needles, and he didn't know how to face others again, so he could only lower his head and clench his fists tightly.
Hongyi also looked at Xiao Tao, when he blinked his eyes, and found the changes in Xiao Tao's body in hindsight, it was like someone gave him a stick, knocking his brain dizzy and his ears buzzing.
Village Chief Qian suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the room was not right, and when he looked back, he saw Xiao Tao wearing women's clothes, and she was dressed as her daughter's family, his first reaction was that Xiao Tao didn't know what to do this season, he sank his face and said with a slight reprimand: "Xiao Tao, so decent, what are you doing here?" Don't hurry up and change it. ”
Just when everyone was stunned, Ji Langzhong suddenly woke up, opened his cloudy eyes, looked at the direction where Xiao Tao was standing, and slowly stretched out his hand to her, "Child, come here." ”
Xiao Tao has been expressionless since she came in, and her little face is very serious.
She doesn't care what others think, and she doesn't care what others think, she just wants to use her master's identity as a daughter to send him to the old man's home when he is dying, that's all.
Hearing the master call her, she walked over quickly, knelt in front of the master, and before she could say anything, tears came down, "Master......"
In this world, she has only one relative, the master.
Don't look at her words that don't matter, she often hangs on her lips, but when it comes to life and death, she is still just as sad.
The master is gone, and no relatives will hurt her anymore, and no relatives will think about her, think about her, care for her, and protect her.
Hearing Xiao Tao's words, Ji Langzhong's cloudy eyes suddenly became clear, and he struggled to sit up.
Father Meng and Village Chief Qian hurriedly brought him a pillow to cushion him, so that people could sit comfortably.
The violent action made Ji Liangping start coughing again, and this time he coughed even harder, as if he was going to cough out his lungs.
"Master!" Xiao Tao stood up from the ground and hurriedly followed his back for him, "Master, don't speak, if you have anything to say, just tell me when you're well, don't rush this time." ”
Ji Liangping waved his hand with difficulty, signaling that he was fine, "Master...... I'm afraid the master can't wait, the master is not afraid of death, and it's nothing to die, let's do it...... In this line, have you seen less death......" He said with difficulty, and he gasped for a while before he could continue.
