Chapter 50: Don't Leave
At dusk, the two finally saw the sparse houses in the distance.
The gold ingot's stomach screamed uncontrollably, and the jade qilin was also a little hungry, so he walked to the door of a farmer's house and patted the door, "Is there anyone?" ”
The man who opened the door was an old woman, and when she saw that these two people were dressed in extraordinary clothes, she was very embarrassed, and even if she kindly invited them into the house and brought out porridge and rice to entertain them, although it was not delicious, it was not easy for them to have a good stomach.
After the two had eaten their fill, the old woman's husband also returned, and when he saw the two of them, he also placed them in the hut beside them quite enthusiastically.
The two were tired for a day, and fell asleep.
***
Jiang Xiaoxuan leaned on the screen window and looked out, the crescent moon had faded, replaced by bright stars in the sky.
They are silent, but there are so many, one by one, they are obviously next to each other, intimate, but they are clear and lonely.
The day was much hotter than a few days ago, and in the grass outside, there seemed to be small insects chatting at night, and there were a few ethereal frog calls, but their liveliness made Jiang Xiaoxuan more and more upset.
She slowly stood up and walked towards the sparkling water, which should be cool and quiet......
Shortly after she left, the door creaked open.
Gu Changfeng came in with a bowl of medicinal soup, but he just stood at the door and asked carefully: "Miss Xue'er, I specially prepared a bowl of soup and medicine, and sent it to you to calm your nerves, can I go in?" ”
After waiting for a while, there was no response in the room. Gu Changfeng was worried, and hurriedly said, "Excuse me, Miss Xue'er." "Say it. I pushed the door open and entered.
However, there was no one in the house, and the beds and bedding were neatly arranged.
Gu Changfeng hurriedly put the medicine bowl on the table in the house, and turned around to go out to look for someone.
A maid was approaching, and he hurriedly grabbed her and asked, "Have you seen Miss Cher?"
The maid shook her head blankly.
Gu Changfeng walked quickly towards the servant who was cleaning the courtyard in the courtyard, "Have you seen Miss Xue'er?" ”
The servant thought for a moment and said, "It seems that I am going to the lake." ”
Gu Changfeng listened. Hurriedly rushed in the direction of the artificial lake.
He trotted to the lakeside, and saw Jiang Xiaoxuan standing on the bridge from a distance, alone.
Gu Changfeng walked a few steps quickly. only to find that she looked sad, and she was standing outside the bridge railing.
He was taken aback and hurriedly asked her, "Miss Xue'er, the night is heavy." You're delicate. How can you stand here alone and blow a cold wind? ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan glanced at him faintly and sighed lightly: "Yes." It seems that this starry morning is not last night, and for whom am I standing up for mid-night? My heart is empty, and I don't feel cold wherever I stand. ”
Seeing that the sadness on her face was even stronger, Gu Changfeng became more and more worried, glanced at the lake that looked particularly deep in the night, and couldn't hide his worry: "Miss Xue'er, don't think about it." ”
"I really have so many things on my mind that I can't think about. I can't put it down. The cutting is continuous, and the rationalization is still messy. I have a lot of trouble, and my heart is like numbness."
"I can understand some of Miss Cher's troubles. Changfeng is willing to share the girl's worries. Gu Changfeng approached her cautiously while talking to Jiang Xiaoxuan.
Jiang Xiaoxuan shook her head: "Others won't understand my pain, and no one can share it." ”
"Miss Cher, can't you let go of that negative man?" Gu Changfeng cautiously probed.
was told the central thing by the nerd Gu Changfeng, Jiang Xiaoxuan smiled bitterly: "Emotional matters, how can you say let go, just let go." Sometimes I wonder, is it true that when I die, I am completely liberated? ”
As soon as he heard this, Gu Changfeng suddenly panicked, opened his hands, and wanted to step forward to hold her, but he was afraid that his movements would be too obvious and stimulate her, so he looked left and said to him: "Miss Xue'er, the past cannot be chased, but we have to look forward as people, it's not worth it for you to commit suicide for such a person." ”
"Looking ahead?" Jiang Xiaoxuan glanced at the lake sadly, "I only saw despair, you go, leave me alone." ”
Gu Changfeng said anxiously: "I won't leave you alone!" Then he quickly looked around, and didn't see anyone else who could help him, so he simply gritted his teeth and lifted his coat, and hurriedly stood outside the bridge railing, and after standing firmly on the railing carefully, he also tried to move his feet and get close to Jiang Xiaoxuan.
As soon as Jiang Xiaoxuan turned around, she saw that he was also standing over, and was shocked: "Don't come here!" ”
Gu Changfeng hurriedly stood still, and made a reassuring gesture with his hands: "Okay, okay, don't be excited." ”
"You go down!"
Gu Changfeng moved tremblingly, and then said with a sad face: "I... I have weak legs, and the next... I can't go down. Why don't we go down together? ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan shook her head, "Doctor Gu Xie Lu thank you for saving me, I can't repay you in this life, I just want to repay you by being a cow and a horse in the next life." As he spoke, he moved his feet.
Gu Changfeng was shocked, but he was not afraid, and moved over the railing like an octopus.
Jiang Xiaoxuan took a step back to the side, "Don't stop me!" ”
"I'm not going to let you do anything stupid." After Gu Changfeng said this, he reached out to pull Jiang Xiaoxuan.
Unexpectedly, his feet slipped and he fell down in an instant......
"Ahh Jiang Xiaoxuan was shocked, and hurriedly looked over, but saw Gu Changfeng struggling to pull a bridge railing, "What are you doing?!" ”
Gu Changfeng's voice trembled: "I finally rescued you back, there are still many people in this world who care about you, how can you do this?" ”
"No more!" Jiang Xiaoxuan shook her head in disbelief, "No, no one will care about me anymore." ”
Gu Changfeng raised his head, trying to convey his thoughts: "You still have me." As he spoke, he wanted to reach out to wipe Jiang Xiaoxuan's tears, but he forgot that his whole life was now on his hands......
"Oops...... Oops......"
With a "poof", Gu Changfeng fell into the lake.
Seeing Gu Changfeng falling into the water, Jiang Xiaoxuan panicked, and couldn't care about anything else, she jumped over from outside the bridge railing, and shouted for help: "Someone's coming." Help me! ”
A moment later, Gu Changfeng was rescued by the servants. However, it wasn't until it was time to send it into the room. It's all still dazed.
Jiang Xiaoxuan looked at his uncomfortable appearance, felt very sorry, squatted on the side of the bed to help him wipe the water droplets from his forehead, and called softly: "Doctor Gu...... Doctor Gu! ”
Gu Changfeng woke up slowly, his eyes were confused: "Ah! Am I dead, is this the Nai He Bridge? Surely, I've seen Meng Po! ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan listened. I was stunned for a moment, do you look like Meng Po?
Unexpectedly, Gu Changfeng suddenly howled loudly: "Mother! Children are not filial! Let's go first! Mother! But. Isn't Meng Po an old lady, why is she so young and beautiful? ”
This idiot is talking nonsense! Jiang Xiaoxuan turned sadness into joy, and actually laughed: "You are stupid! See who I am! ”
Gu Changfeng narrowed his eyes and carefully identified: "Xue'er!" Are you dead Cher? Why are you so stupid! ”
"We're not dead!" Jiang Xiaoxuan wanted to continue to explain. But Gu Changfeng fell asleep again. It's just that his mouth is still talking nonsense.
"Miss Cherry...... Don't jump ...... Miss Cher...... Don't jump ......"
His voice of Xue'er made Jiang Xiaoxuan's heart sour, but she didn't expect that there was really such a person in this world who cared about her.
Jiang Xiaoxuan reached out to probe his forehead, and immediately bounced back when he touched it: "It's so hot!" ”
After thinking about it, Jiang Xiaoxuan took out the liquor from the medicine cabinet and wiped it for him.
At this time, Aunt Gu broke in in a hurry. I saw Gu Changfeng lying on the bed with his eyes closed, while Jiang Xiaoxuan was rubbing him with white wine with his eyebrows lowered. was taken aback: "In the middle of the night, lonely men and widows, disheveled, what are you doing?" ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan turned around and saw Aunt Gu, retracted her hand shyly, stood up, lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "Gu Langzhong fell into the water and got cold, and the high fever did not go away, I am using a folk earthwork to help him reduce the fever." ”
When Aunt Gu heard that her son had a high fever that did not go away, she glanced at her suspiciously, came to Gu Changfeng's bedside, and touched Gu Changfeng's head: "Why is it so hot?" ”
"Gu Langzhong fell into the water and caught a cold." Jiang Xiaoxuan replied.
Aunt Gu glanced at her and asked dissatisfiedly, "You are the girl that Changfeng brought back from outside, right?" ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan nodded: "The little woman's name is Xue'er." Who are you? ”
Aunt Gu took the liquor and cotton balls that Jiang Xiaoxuan put down just now to help her son wipe his body and reduce fever.
Jiang Xiaoxuan had no choice but to stand on both sides.
"I am Gu Changfeng's mother. Needless to say, my son also fell into the water for you, right? ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan heard this, and hurriedly apologized: "It's all Xue'er's bad, which caused Gu Langzhong to fall into the water." ”
"Hmm......" Aunt Gu didn't say much, glanced at her again, and asked, "How did the girl meet my son?" Why did you come to the house with him? ”
"I ...... I was lost, and then I met a bad guy, passed out, was rescued by Gu Langzhong, and woke up here. ”
Aunt Gu shook her head while listening: "You said you got lost, and then you met the bad guys?" So you're out alone? ”
"Yes."
"You are a young girl, why do you go out alone?"
"This ...... It's hard to put into words. ”
"And where is your home? Who else is in the house? Aunt Gu continued to ask.
Jiang Xiaoxuan was embarrassed: "This, this is not very convenient to say." ”
"Then why did you run to the lake in the middle of the night and cause the wind to fall into the water?"
Jiang Xiaoxuan explained embarrassedly: "Auntie, this is actually a misunderstanding......
Obviously, Aunt Gu was very dissatisfied with Jiang Xiaoxuan's answer, and even interrupted: "It's inconvenient for you to say the left one, and the right one is difficult to say, so it's not good for me to ask more." But girl, I advise you. Although Changfeng and I are slaves here, we are innocent and traditional, and we are people who abide by the law and etiquette, and we cannot tolerate some rumors and inconsistencies. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxuan's face turned red and white for a while, embarrassed and aggrieved. When Yang Fu said: "Don't say any more, I'll leave and stop causing trouble to Gu Langzhong." Help me convey to Gu Langzhong, I thank him for saving his life, and wish him a speedy recovery. Then he went out.
At this moment, Gu Changfeng said nonsense again: "Miss Xue'er...... You don't want to go...... Don't go. ”
Gu Changfeng:
Jiang Xiaoxuan had tears in her eyes, hardened her heart, and took two steps forward.
"Cher...... Cher...... You promise me...... Don't go. ”
This whisper, like drinking ice water on a cold day, seeped into Jiang Xiaoxuan's heart bit by bit, she stopped and turned to look at Gu Changfeng, seeing that he was still having a high fever, frowning, obviously sleeping very unsteadily.
Jiang Xiaoxuan hesitated for a moment, returned to Gu Changfeng's bed, squatted down and saluted, and begged: "Aunt Gu, please let me see Gu Langzhong get better before leaving, he was sick like this to save me, and I really can't rest assured that I left like this." ”
Hearing this, Aunt Gu glanced at her son on the bed, and after a little hesitation, her face turned cold: "It's late at night, and I'm not driving you to leave right away." But Changfeng is an honest child, and what he needs is a daughter-in-law who is dutiful, and as for those women whose origin is unknown and whose behavior is bold, I will never allow my son to marry into the door. That's all for today, you know for yourselves. ”
After saying these words, Aunt Gu turned around and left, leaving Jiang Xiaoxuan alone, and tears were already rolling in her eyes.
In the early morning of the next day, Gu Changfeng woke up slowly and saw Jiang Xiaoxuan coming in with a bowl of medicine.
Seeing his eyes wide, Jiang Xiaoxuan came over in surprise: "Are you awake?" ”
Gu Changfeng looked at the medicine in her hand and asked in disbelief, "Are you taking care of me?" ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan didn't answer, only reached out and stroked Gu Changfeng's forehead: "The fever has subsided." ”
"Thank you." Gu Changfeng was shy.
"You're welcome, I can't repay you for saving me so many times."
"Why don't you stay!" Gu Changfeng was impulsive and said it, but after saying it, he felt very happy.
"Stay......" Jiang Xiaoxuan sighed faintly.
"That's right!" Gu Changfeng nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Look! You can wake me up, which means that you are very talented. It's better to stay and be my assistant so that I can save more people. ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan shook her head again and again: "I'll leave when you're well." ”
An inexplicable sense of fear surged into Gu Changfeng's heart, and he hurriedly shouted: "I'm sick like this now, I'm not well yet, are you so ruthless?" ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan looked at him with a wry smile: "I didn't say it, I will abandon you immediately." ”
When Gu Changfeng heard this, he was stunned......
The mind is in a flash, and the mind is counted. Don't look at him who has been confused and stupid all his life, but at this moment, he is so smart, seeing that the situation is not good, he immediately pretended to be sick, and said tremblingly: "It's so cold......"
Jiang Xiaoxuan knew that he was honest, where would he think that he would pretend to be sick, so he hurriedly went over to help him: "You lie down, no, drink this medicine first." Then he picked up the medicine bowl.
Gu Changfeng simply relied on the illness to sell the disease, so he drank the medicine in her hand, and breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction after drinking.
Jiang Xiaoxuan asked with concern, "How do you feel?" ”
Gu Changfeng smirked: "It's much better!" ”
"Okay, I'll boil it again! You rest in bed first, and I'll go over and boil the medicine. After Jiang Xiaoxuan told him, she got up happily and left.
Gu Changfeng looked at her back slyly, with a smile on the corner of his lips, thoughtful. (To be continued......)
