Chapter Fifty-Eight: That's a Girl
Chapter Fifty-Eight: That's a Girl
Cao Zixin met Yu Shu under the bridge, I don't know what happened to her, I asked and asked, she refused to speak except for calling him "shopkeeper" at the beginning, he watched the rain get heavier and heavier, so he had to take people home first.
His home is not far from Changmenpu Street, in a quiet alley, a small courtyard with two rooms.
"Here we are."
The rain was still falling, Cao Zixin turned around and closed the door, holding an umbrella for Yu Shu with one hand, half of his shoulder was already soaked, on the other hand, Yu Shu was not much better because of the rain under the bridge.
The door closed, and the figure standing at the entrance of the alley not far away turned to leave.
"This way."
Cao Zixin opened the door of the house, went in and lit a candle, turned around and saw Yu Shu still standing outside, and called out to her:
"Ah Shu, come in."
Yu Shu lowered his head and walked into the room, standing in the door, the clean ground under his feet quickly became wet, Cao Zixin sighed lightly, stepped forward and grabbed her sleeve, and took her to the chair in the hall to sit down.
He got into the inner bedroom, and when he came out after a while, Wen Sheng patted Yu Shu's shoulder and said, "I'll go boil water, you go in first and change your clothes, there are clean clothes at the head of the bed, all of which I haven't worn." ”
Yu Shu moved, stood up, looked around a little blankly, and walked to the inner bedroom.
Cao Zixin saw her go in, only to go out to boil water, who wanted to just walk to the door, heard the sound of heavy objects falling behind him, turned around in a hurry, and saw Yu Shusoft falling to the ground.
"Ah Shu"
Cao Zixin jumped up in two steps, bent down to help the person up, let Yu Shu lean in his arms, shook her, and shouted a few times without answering, only to know that she had fainted, and then reached out to her forehead, and he retracted his hand when he was hot.
Cao Zixin panicked for a moment, calmed down again, picked up the person from the ground, and was frightened, so he sent the person into the house, put it on the bed, didn't think she wet the mattress, and covered her with a quilt, brushed away her wet hair, gently touched her hot cheek with the back of her hand, frowned worriedly, and picked up the umbrella and ran out.
The door is not locked, go directly to the opposite side and knock on the door-
"Sister Zhao, Sister Zhao open the door"
After a while, someone opened the door, but it was Sister Zhao, Zhao Hui, the eater of the wonton stall.
"Shopkeeper Cao, what's the matter, panic like this?"
Cao Zixin pointed to the courtyard behind him and said, "Please help me take care of someone, I'll ask Lang Zhong." ”
"Cheng, you go quickly, I'm watching," Zhao Hui took the door without saying a word and walked into his yard, Cao Zixin raised his hand again and called her:
"Eldest sister, she's raining, you can change her clothes, that's a girl."
Cao Zixin ran three streets to invite a Langzhong, led people into the door, Zhao Hui was sitting on the edge of the bed to wipe Yu Shu's forehead, including Yu Shu's clothes, and mattresses, all changed into clean, Yu Shu was lying face outward, Zhao Hui put a soft pillow behind her.
When Zhao Hui saw them coming in, she hurriedly stood up and gave way, her face was a little unsightly, and when Na Langzhong sat down on the edge of the bed, she took out a pillow to check Yu Shu's pulse, and then she pulled Cao Zixin to the side and whispered:
"Shopkeeper, I look at this little girl familiarly, is it the one who used to settle accounts in your shop?"
Cao Zixin nodded hesitantly and said, "Exactly." ”
I didn't have time to be surprised why a kid suddenly became a little girl, Zhao Hui dragged him and said hurriedly, "How did people make it like this?" ”
"Huh?" Cao Zixin's face was puzzled.
Zhao Hui only thought that he didn't know the inside story, lowered his voice, and said angrily: "Do you know that she has a head injury on her back, and at first glance, she was whipped with a whip, and the person who beat her didn't know how much strength she used, and the skin was about to open, and the blood scabs had not yet ended, and it was raining again, if you soak it overnight, the meat will not rot."
Cao Zixin was startled, turned around and looked at the bed, only to see Yu Shu's jet-black little head, lying there lifeless, indescribably pitiful, and suddenly, under the bridge, she was about to cry, but she couldn't bear to go back, and the feeling of tightness in her heart came out again, and this time she couldn't suppress it.
He secretly clenched his palm, blaming him.
Zhao Hui said, she didn't see Cao Zixin's reaction, when she looked up, she saw that his face was gloomy, although she didn't know why his expression was so ugly, she unconsciously closed her mouth and didn't complain anymore.
After Lang Zhong's diagnosis, he said a lot of problems, just when Cao Zixin was worried, he gave a reassuring pill after the most, confirming that Yu Shu was not in any big danger, Cao Zixin and Zhao Hui were both relieved, and listened to his doctor's advice, Zhao Hui described Yu Shu's whiplash on his back, Lang Zhong then added a patch of wound medicine to her, Cao Zixin paid one or two consultation fees, sent him away, and went to the hospital to grab medicine.
When he came back, Cao Zixin handed Zhao Hui a small bottle of trauma powder and asked her to help Yu Shu wipe and bandage, while he went to the kitchen to boil water and decoct the medicine, and tossed until midnight.
"Eldest sister, it's so late, go back quickly, I'm really bothering you tonight."
Zhao Hui said: "Why don't I stay tonight, you are a man, after all, it is inconvenient." ”
Cao Zixin said: "How embarrassing is this, you still have to do business tomorrow, how can you spend all night here." ”
Zhao Hui said: "Okay, I don't go out of the stall for a day and don't starve to death, how can you take care of the girl's family, I will go home alone, so don't be polite to me." ”
Cao Zixin thought about it, and it was indeed more convenient to leave Zhao Hui, so he no longer shirked, and thanked her again and again.
Zhao Hui waved her hand, reached out and touched Yu Shu's forehead, there was a little pity in her eyes, and she whispered: "What's the matter with this child, is it convenient for you to tell me?" ”
Cao Zixin turned his head to pour tea: "I don't know what happened, I met her on the road, and when I saw that people were confused, I brought them back." ”
Zhao Hui sighed: "Alas, I've seen the little girl twice, look at her well-behaved and sensible, how can she be so pitiful, I really don't know who is so ruthless to beat her, by the way, she also has a younger brother, who wants me to clean up a bowl and chopsticks, a twist of the head is gone, the soup is still well placed there, and the money is also paid, that is"
Cao Zixin stood beside the bed, listening to Zhao Hui's nagging, looked down at Yu Shu, did not interject a word, and waited for her to finish speaking, before she spoke:
"I'll go to the study and move the recliner over, and the eldest sister can lie down when she is tired."
So saying, he went out of the house.
Yu Shu had a dream, dreaming that before everything happened, when she was still Yu Jing, Yu Lei's leg was not broken in that disaster, and he could still run and laugh.
The two of them went to climb Phoenix Mountain, played all day, when going down the mountain, she broke her foot halfway up the mountain, Yu Lei then carried her down from the mountain step by step, and when she was about to reach the foot of the mountain, she suddenly said to her, "Xie Lu Xie", she asked him what to thank for Lu, Yu Lei smiled and told her:
"Sister, Xie Lu Xie You didn't complain that my birth robbed my dad ** love, Xie Lu Xie you secretly helped me out after I was bullied, Xie Lu Xie you get fresh milk for me outside the community every morning, Xie Lu Xie You secretly helped me write a love letter to the girl I had a crush on, Xie Lu Xie You didn't blame me for running away from your first boyfriend, Xie Lu Xie You went behind my back to persuade my father to let me be a soldier, Xie Lu Xie You quietly paid for my comrade-in-arms to treat his sister, Xie Lu Xie You didn't blame me for breaking my leg in disaster relief, Xie Lu Xie You gave me two slaps when I was at my most desperate, Xie Lu Xie You alone picked up the burden of treating me, sister-"
"The thing I am most grateful for in my life is to be your younger brother, thank you."
Then she cried, lying on Yu Lei's not wide back, wanting to tell him that she was not so good, but Yu Lei suddenly became Yu Xiaoxiu's appearance, and then, she woke up.
Yu Shu opened his eyes and touched the corners of his eyes, which were dry and astringent, and there were no tears.
She wanted to cry happily, but she couldn't cry, she preferred to believe that this was not a dream, but Yu Lei told her in another world that he had never been disappointed in her, and that she would always be the best sister who made him the proudest and proudest.
She must be strong and let herself live well, so as to live up to her relatives in another world.
Yu Shu took a deep breath, felt the discomfort all over his body and the pain on his back, sat up with his upper body, and looked at the surrounding environment.
This is a small bedroom, wardrobes, bookshelves, round tables, all serious furniture, lacquered, not like the small thatched hut she lives in the courtyard, under the body is a brand new bedding, smell it, but also with the fragrance of soap, clean, and warm.
She vaguely remembered that she was under the bridge last night and was led back by Cao Zixin, Yu Shu looked down at the clothes that had been changed on her body, and did not scream, but frowned.
It seems that Cao Zixin knows that she is a girl, and I don't know if he will be angry with her for concealing it.
"Oops, you're awake."
Zhao Hui came in with the medicine, and when she saw Yu Shu sitting on the bed in a daze, she hurriedly stepped forward to put down the medicine and reached out to probe her forehead.
"Aunt Zhao?" Yu Shu's throat was a little hoarse, and his throat itched as soon as he spoke.
Zhao Hui put down her hand, and when she saw that Yu Shu could recognize people, she was relieved, nodded, and asked with concern: "Do you have a headache, and what is uncomfortable on your body?" ”
Yu Shu was a little uncomfortable by her overly concerned eyes, licked his lips, and whispered, "I want to drink water." ”
"Then let's drink the medicine first." Zhao Hui picked up the medicine and was about to feed her, and the spoon was blown and sent to her mouth, very enthusiastic.
Yu Shu hurriedly raised his hand to pick it up, "I'll do it myself." ”
Zhao Hui handed her the bowl with some disappointment, and remembered that she hadn't told Cao Zixin yet, so she hurriedly got up and said, "I'll go and tell Shopkeeper Cao that you're awake, otherwise he will go and invite Lang Zhong to come." ”
Yu Shu nodded, took a small sip of the medicine, the bitter taste made her sober and refreshed, turned her head to look out the window, the rain had stopped, outside the window paper, there were two figures in the courtyard talking, one was Zhao Hui, and the other should be Cao Zixin.
Zhilu said that this was Cao Zixin's territory, Yu Shu was much more relieved, she put down the medicine bowl, reached out to untie the overly wide clothes, looked at the gauze wrapped around her body, and touched her arms around her back, frowning painfully.
After checking her body, she had just tied her clothes when she heard outside the bedroom door ask:
"Ah Shu, it's me, Brother Cao, are you better?"
(The fruit is pink, please smash me if you have a ticket, and you can do it hard (╰_╯)#).
