Chapter Twenty-Four: The Wounded Female Thief
87_87437 Put the two porcelain vases in his sleeve pocket, Zhong Ziyuan opened the door and walked out. Outside, there was no one except for the horse snorting with his head down and the snow on the ground.
Zhong Ziyuan pondered for a moment, stepped forward and circled the carriage, and didn't seem to find anything unusual. She sniffed it closer, only to find that the faint smell of blood had now loomed and almost disappeared.
Zhong Ziyuan touched it under the carriage again, feeling a little slimy. When he pulled his hand out, he found that he had some brown semi-coagulated blood stains on his fingers, and it seemed that the person was seriously injured.
Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help grinning, his previous decision to deliberately take away Fu Bo and Qing Dai, and then hide in the glass house was correct. The man who was originally hiding under the carriage really left the carriage when there was no one in the yard.
But did this man escape from the yard, or did he find a hidden place to hide? Zhong Ziyuan was a little undecided. Her gaze circled the small courtyard. In addition to the crystal clear glazed house, there is also a firewood room built by the wall, which is prepared for the winter, wood, straw, and charcoal.
There is also an unfathomable well in the corner, which supplies the daily water of ten people in the entire courtyard. There are two straight ginkgo trees next to the door, I am afraid they are dozens of years old. Even though it is as green as a cover in summer, it is the middle of winter, and the small fan-like leaves of the tree have completed its gorgeous transformation from emerald green to golden, and most of them have fallen into the dust. Only the dead branches of the tree were left, still stubbornly pointing to the sky.
Zhong Ziyuan's eyes swirled on the two trees, and after finding that there was really no way to hide people, he took them back. Now that the shape is very clear, he has just come out of the glass house, and it is impossible for that person to hide inside. If you hide in a well, you are tantamount to killing yourself. Then the only place in this courtyard where people can hide is the small firewood house.
Zhong Ziyuan picked up the axe that he used to chop wood every day, held the bottle of drug that he smelled and poured in his left hand, and tiptoed to the door of the firewood room. Fortunately, there are no windows in the firewood room, and it is only a small door to enter and exit.
Zhong Ziyuan saw that the door was still closed tightly at this moment, but he was not worried that the people inside would steal out that he had an axe in one hand and a drug in the other, as if he was facing a great enemy.
Just as she took a deep breath and wanted to act, a muffled voice exclaimed, "Miss, what are you doing here?" It turned out that Cardamom was holding a rose cake in one hand and running from the front yard with a nest candy in his mouth. Zhong Ziyuan was suddenly startled, she was afraid that the people in the firewood room had been alerted, so she immediately raised her foot and kicked open the door, and then smashed the porcelain bottle in her hand into the firewood room. Listening to the crisp sound of "pop", the porcelain bottle cracked in the middle of the firewood room, and some clear liquid flowed out of it, and a faint orchid fragrance overflowed.
Zhong Ziyuan grabbed the axe in her hand with fear, for fear that a fierce and vicious man would rush out of it, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes vigilantly. After a short while, no one came out, and Zhong Ziyuan could basically conclude that the people inside had been knocked unconscious by his own drug.
Cardamom came to Zhong Ziyuan's side for some reason, and also followed her to look inside, she swallowed the nest candy in her mouth, and asked curiously, "Miss, what are you doing?" ”
"Shhhh Zhong Ziyuan made a silent gesture and whispered: "There may be thieves in the house, so hide in the firewood room now." ”
"There are thieves!" Cardamom screamed loudly, under Zhong Ziyuan's glare, she hurriedly lowered her voice, rolled up her sleeves and gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, you little thief, there is a way in heaven that you don't go, and there is no door to hell, but you break in." Look at how Grandma-Grandma cleans you up. ”
She first stuffed the rose cake into her mouth, looked around left and right, found a large firewood knife, held it with both hands, and said menacingly: "Miss, you wait on the side, I'll go and have a look first." ”
Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but be full of black lines, and it was filled with the smell of drugs, didn't Cardamom break in unhindered at this time to add to the chaos! So she grabbed the cardamom and whispered, "You stay here honestly for me, and you are not allowed to go in." ”
Cardamom was in a hurry, she just wanted to refute, but she was glared at by her own lady, and immediately lost her confidence, so she had to stand up honestly.
Zhong Ziyuan pulled out a piece of brocade from his arms to cover his mouth and nose, grabbed the handle of the axe in his hand again, and walked in with his feet. She first glanced around cursoryly, but saw no one. Looking closely, I found that the straw pile in the corner of the firewood room was arched high, and a pair of feet wearing thin-soled soap boots stretched out straight from the bottom.
It can't be dead, right? Zhong Ziyuan was startled, she stepped forward and kicked the feet tentatively, and found that they had not become stiff, so she knew that the thief was still alive, and she also put down a big stone in her heart.
Zhong Ziyuan squatted down by the straw pile, she put down the axe in her hand, reached out and picked up the straw covering the man's body, and when the unlucky little thief revealed his figure, Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but be secretly taken aback.
The person lying below was wearing a black dress and black pants, a black cloth covering his head, and a black scarf covering his face, revealing only a pair of closed eyes. It's just that even in a coma, he still holds a short sword in his hand that is as cold as autumn water.
Dressed like a typical thief, Zhong Ziyuan secretly slandered in his heart: Why do martial arts scum have to dress like this, and I don't know whether it is for concealment or swagger.
Seeing that the black clothes on this person's body were soaked with blood, he knew that his injuries were not light. I don't know what kind of face is hidden under this black scarf. Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but play, she kicked the short sword in his hand first, and then reached out and took off the black scarf covering his face.
Unexpectedly, this face under the face towel looks very ordinary. Those with small noses and small eyes belong to the kind of master who will not be found if they are thrown into the pile. However, the corners of this person's mouth and chin are also stained with blood, it seems that this person not only has serious external injuries, but even internal injuries are not light!
"Huh! It's a woman. Zhong Ziyuan's ears heard the voice of cardamom excited. Zhong Ziyuan looked back sharply at the cardamom that had slipped in at some point.
Cardamom pointed to the man's exposed ears and continued to say happily: "Miss, you see, she has pierced ears, she must be a woman." ”
Zhong Ziyuan ignored her, and just silently counted: "One, two, three"
Sure enough, Cardamom's originally dark eyes slowly became confused, and she said vaguely: "Why did you suddenly become dizzy, and there were two young ladies." As Zhong Ziyuan silently counted to three in her heart, her body went weak and fell to the ground.
Zhong Ziyuan, who had been prepared, caught her soft body and said with a wry smile: "Silly girl, just disobedient." I said don't come in, but I have to follow up, this time I will suffer! ”
Zhong Ziyuan carefully helped the cardamom aside and lay down, and then reached out and touched the pulse of the female thief, and found that it was very weak. Zhong Ziyuan knew that if she let it go, this female thief would definitely die of her injuries.
Is it to treat her injuries, or to report to the police to arrest her? Zhong Ziyuan hesitated for a while. At this point, the thief's face began to distort, as if she had fallen into some kind of nightmare. An unconscious broken sound came from her mouth, Zhong Ziyuan carefully distinguished it for a long time, only to realize that she said only four words over and over again: "Little brother, run." Little brother, run"
A person who is in a coma and is still thinking about his little brother, it is estimated that even if he is a female thief, he will not be much worse! At least she's righteous enough. Zhong Ziyuan finally decided to treat her first and then make a decision.
Zhong Ziyuan walked out of the firewood room quickly, first went to the glass house and moved out the medicine box, then dug out a basin of well water from the well, and finally went to the kitchen to bring a pot of hot water, and she put all these things into the firewood room.
Before treating the female thief, Zhong Ziyuan first sprinkled a handful of well water on Cardamom's face and fed her an antidote. With the help of the cold well water and the antidote, Cardamom finally came to her senses. She blinked, as if she didn't understand why she was lying in the firewood room, and Zhong Ziyuan's cold voice came from her ears: "If you wake up, come over and help me save people." ”
"Oh! Here it comes. Cardamom wiped a handful of water droplets from her face, and then got up from the ground with a grunt. She had helped Zhong Ziyuan deal with trauma patients a few times, so the cooperation between the two was seamless.
Zhong Ziyuan cut open the blood-soaked clothes on the female thief's body, and when the clothes peeled off the female thief's body, the wounds that had already coagulated opened open again, and blood began to flow out. Cardamom didn't know if she was born bold or born with few tendons, she had never been afraid of this bloody scene. Seeing that she wrenched the handkerchief and helped the female thief wipe the blood stains on her body, Zhong Ziyuan rinsed all the wounds on her body, and turned out a bottle of hemostatic medicine powder from her medicine box and sprinkled it on her small wound. Cardamom took out a clean white cloth to help her bandage the wound she had treated.
Although the minor wounds were treated, there were still two largest wounds on her back that had not been treated. The two fleshy wounds cut from her left shoulder blade to her right waist, almost the entire back of her, like two open ditches, oozing blood from the outside. Zhong Ziyuan could imagine that if he had added a little more strength to these two times, it was estimated that the female thief in front of him would not have a chance to hide under his carriage, but would be directly split in half.
Looking at these two hideous wounds, Cardamom swallowed her saliva and asked cautiously, "Miss, do you need that thing for such a big wound?" ”
Zhong Ziyuan said without thinking: "Of course you have to use it, if you don't use it, her wound won't heal at all, and it will only fester." ”
After a long time, I heard Cardamom say in admiration: "Miss, your craftsmanship is so good, it looks better than embroidered on a handkerchief." ”
Zhong Ziyuan's face darkened, looking at the two neatly sewn wounds in front of him with some embarrassment, I really don't know whether Cardamom's magic stroke is praising himself or hurting himself. However, she also secretly helped the female thief to rejoice, fortunately she was drugged by herself, otherwise the pain of washing the wound and stitching the wound would be enough for her to drink a pot.
After also sprinkling hemostatic medicine, Zhong Ziyuan and Cardamom helped her wrap a strip of white cloth. After treating the wound, Zhong Ziyuan breathed a long sigh of relief. She has done her duty, and as for whether this female thief can survive or not, it depends on her own creation.
At this moment, the female thief's whole body was almost covered with a white cloth, and only the bloodstained little face was still exposed. Cardamom blinked, and then wrenched the handkerchief and wiped it off her face. But as she rubbed it, she found that in addition to the blood stains on the face in front of her, a lot of flour-like things had fallen off. As these things fell off, the face changed dramatically again.
Cardamom exclaimed: "Miss, look, why has the appearance of this female thief changed again?" ”
Zhong Ziyuan was packing up his medicine box, and when he heard this, he also carefully examined his face. As the floury stuff fell off, the otherwise ordinary face came to life. She has snow-white skin, a high nose bridge, and long eyelids, and she is still a beautiful embryo. It's just that because her face is covered with these disguise items all year round, it looks a little rough.
Could it be that this is the legendary disguise technique, Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but hesitate in his heart. This female thief is definitely not a little thief, it seems that she has picked up a ** annoyance.
After thinking about it, Zhong Ziyuan instructed Cardamom: "She shouldn't move now, you go and move a few quilts for her to cover." I'll make a prescription later, you pick it up, and when she wakes up, you will fry it for her to drink. There are countless difficulties ahead, and it depends on whether she can get through it. After a pause, she added, "And most importantly, don't let the rest of the family find out about her." ”。
