Chapter 6: The Sea of Sinking and Floating (10)

    ……

     only heard a small sound in my ears, and something hot was placed on my mouth. Shu Xun fold

    Jingyi only felt a warm current, she tried hard to open her eyes, "Meng Yuan......" she murmured.

    Under the lamp of the beans, it was a woman who was feeding her soup.

    Jingyi looked at her stunned and said, "You are not Meng Yuan...... 濉"

    "Miss Cheng, I'm the fourth aunt. If you have a cold, drink some hot soup first. The fourth aunt took a towel to wipe the beads of sweat on Jingyi's forehead, and she was very worried when she saw her like this.

    Jingyi's heart is like a knife. The white cloth banner whirred with the wind...... And Meng Yuan, Meng Yuan will never appear again? She couldn't utter a word in her dry throat, her whole body was hot, and her mind gradually became a little confused.

    In a trance, Meng Yuan was walking towards her, holding a soup bowl and spoon, scooping hot soup and feeding her to her mouth, and coaxing her softly: "Jingyi, Jingyi, you are going to be a doctor in the future, how can you not take good care of your body?" A doctor who does not take care of himself cannot be called a qualified doctor...... Disabled"

    She wanted to grab Meng Yuan's hand and tell him that it was not, it was you who lied to me, and you disappeared, so I was afraid. I can't even take care of myself anymore...... She wants to say I'll be fine when you're back, Meng Yuan.

    "As soon as Jingyi gets sick, it's not Jingyi. He always laughed at her.

     is not...... She has been like this since she was a child, and she doesn't like to drink medicine. It's all to blame on the mother, I love to stew supplements for her if she has nothing to do, for fear that she will be a little inappropriate. The room is simmering with decoction all year round. She ate and drank until she was tired. Occasionally, it is useless to lose a little temper with your mother. Only when she is really sick, her mother will be obedient to her, and at that time, because she is really sick, she has no strength to fight with her mother and say that she will not take medicine, because her mother will cry...... So as soon as she came out to study, when she was sick, she pampered herself, and Qiu Wei and Qiao's mother followed her and were even more cautious of her.

    Meng Yuan was stunned when he saw her being served like the queen mother after she had a little cold for the first time. Although she endured it at the time, she said afterwards that she was rude and pampered, "No." ”

    He always told her a lot of "can't", and he always overturned these "can't" himself. Probably because he didn't want her to be wronged. When she thought about it, she felt unusually sweet. In fact, as long as you can be with him, you can change your rudeness, you can change your indulgence, and you can endure hardships, no matter how much hardship, you are willing to eat it...... Therefore, Meng Yuan is the medicine that heals her.

    Jingyi clenched the sleeve of the fourth aunt and drank the hot soup one by one.

    The fourth aunt saw that Jingyi was willing to drink a bowl of hot soup, and her heart was a little calmer. She wiped Jingyi's sweat again and covered her with the quilt. Jingyi never let go of her sleeve, and she could only sit on the edge of the bed without moving. It wasn't until Jingyi fell asleep that she carefully wanted to leave. I don't want Jingyi to still hold her sleeve.

    Dai Zuguang knocked on the door and came in, looked at Jingyi, and asked his wife, "Is it better?" ”

    The fourth aunt said softly: "I'm sweating." ”

     "Miss Cheng has a great kindness to our family, and she must take good care of ......" Dai Zuguang frowned, seeing that his wife couldn't stop wiping her sweat for Miss Cheng, and said: "No matter what, Dai Fu shouldn't be like this to a weak woman." I've already gone to one, do you want to catch another one? ”

    "Don't talk about that. Could it be that Dai Fu Suri is kind to others? Don't talk about it from afar, just talk about us, Dai Fu has always regarded us as snakes and scorpions. This time, my daughter-in-law was in distress and went to ask for help, and the government told us to let us pray. What a good family Dai Fu is! How could Miss Cheng ......" The fourth aunt was indignant. When her husband carried Miss Cheng back, she was shocked, and when she knew about Miss Cheng's entanglement with Dai Fu, she couldn't help but feel more sympathetic.

    " can't be said so. The young master of Dai's Mansion is still good and knows how to respect people. The old man put on a straight face. He was one of the few Catholics in the area, and he was the one who preached in the churches here, except for American missionaries. If it weren't for the American missionary Thomas who went to the city to visit a friend and didn't return, and his daughter-in-law was born prematurely, this time might not have been so critical.

    The fourth aunt heard her husband say this, so she stopped making a sound, but just sighed.

    "I have to ask where this girl's house is. Her driver didn't come back, and she didn't know what had happened. Dai Zuguang instructed his wife again and went forward.

    He carried a lantern and stepped on the muddy path to Dai's house.

    At this time, the Dai Mansion was preparing for the funeral, and it was busy inside and out.

    Dai Zuguang wiped his face, stood there for a long time, and saw Dai Menghe come out and order someone to clean the steps, so he stepped forward and arched his hand at Dai Menghe, "Sixth brother, I want to ask you something." ”

    Dai Menghe didn't raise his eyelids, and waved his hand: "Fourth uncle, why are you here again." There is a big funeral in the house, so don't add to the chaos at this time. I'm free to catch up with Ming'er, I'll tell you what you want to ask. ”

    Dai Zuguang was so angry when he heard this. For Miss Cheng, he was patient.

    "But that girl ......" Dai Zuguang just said this, only to see Dai Menghe's eyes were not good, he paused, stomped his feet, sighed, and said: "Thinking of my Dai family, although it is no longer Zhong Mingding's family, I should always keep my loyal nature!" I don't care about any of this with you. Can't I just send her home? After he finished speaking, he stammered down the stairs. The cloth shoes stepped on the muddy ground, splashing in all directions.

    "Fourth uncle, wait! Dai Menghe heard Dai Zuguang's words behind him and stopped him.

    Dai Zuguang was angry in his heart, but he still stopped.

    Dai Menghe said: "The fourth uncle is so kind, he wants to send her home? Just send her to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ning Hall. That Miss Cheng is the daughter-in-law of the Tao family. Tao Xiang, the seventh young master of the Tao family, is her husband. ”

    Dai Zuguang got such a reply, and seeing that Dai Menghe didn't seem to be lying, he didn't ask again.

    Is that true? Miss Cheng seems to be a daughter who has not left the cabinet......

    Even if it's not, you'll have to give it a try.

    On the way home, Dai Zuguang knocked on the door of Dai Laoba's house and asked him to enter the city overnight and report to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ning Hall. When he returned home, he and his wife guarded Cheng Jingyi, who had a high fever.

    The doctor who was finally invited prescribed the medicine, and the fourth aunt went to boil the medicine and feed it to Jingyi. Jingyi took a sip and spit out, unconscious.

     The anxious Dai Zuguang and his wife were helpless, hoping that Dai Laoba could bring the people of the Tao family as soon as possible......

     Soon after dawn, the sound of funeral music from Dai's mansion came.

    Dai Zuguang stood in the courtyard, listening to the sound of ritual music, and sighed deeply.

    Dai Mansion is operating dismally, but the funeral is huge.

    Suddenly, the door was slammed.

    Dai Zuguang hurriedly carried the lantern to open the gate. It was Dai Laoba who called the door, and as soon as he saw him, Dai Laoba said, "Fourth uncle, I brought someone here." He said as he wiped the sweat from his face and pointed to a few people behind him.

    Dai Zuguang looked behind Lao Ba, and he was indeed following people. At this time, although the sky was bright, the rain did not stop, it was still gloomy weather, and the young men behind the eighth child stood in one place, quite imposing.

    Dai Zuguang took a lamp in the door, and the lamp was high, so he could see it more clearly.

    The young man closest to him was Xuanyu.

    "Who are you?" Dai Zuguang asked.

    "It's Uncle Dai, right? "He was polite.

    "Fourth uncle, this is the brother of Commander Tao of the Beiping City Defense Army, Miss Cheng is his ......" Dai Laoba looked back at Tao Xiang.

    " fiancée. Tao Xiang said calmly.

    Dai Zuguang muttered in his heart. Muttering and muttering, he still asked Tao Xiang to go inside, ready to interrogate in detail.

    Tao Xiang entered the house and saw Dai Zuguang making tea, so he said, "Uncle Dai, you're welcome." Where is she and can I see her? ”

    "Mr. Tao, please take a seat. You must have come from afar, thirsty and hungry. There is nothing good at home, eat some snacks and drink some tea. Dai Zuguang smiled and said that he sat down first, and he was not in a hurry to let Tao Xiang see Miss Cheng. He crossed his mind and said, "Miss Cheng is okay for the time being. Mr. Tao doesn't have to worry too much. ”

    Tao Xiang had no choice but to sit down.

    Dai Zuguang is kind and kind-eyed, and it is Dai Zuguang's wife who comes to serve tea, and she is also a loyal look.

    Dai Zuguang said: "Let my nephew invite Mr. Tao to come, I think he should have explained to Mr. Tao on the way." Miss Cheng saved the life of her daughter-in-law and grandson, and she was very kind to the old family, and now that Miss Cheng is sick, she also asked Mr. Tao to understand the old man's thoughts...... "Dai Zuguang saved many of the troubles.

    "Uncle, hand her over to me, you can rest assured. Tao Xiang said.

     "Fourth uncle, I asked on the road, Miss Cheng is the tenth son-in-law of the Cheng family in Dongcheng, Beiping. Master Cheng is the boss of the business. Hengfeng pawnshop is Master Cheng's, you should always know these four uncles, right? You can rest assured that the Seventh Master will take her back to the city. If Miss Cheng is seriously ill, the fourth uncle can do a bad thing with good intentions, and he can't afford to compensate Master Cheng. Dai Laoba said to the fourth uncle.

    Dai Zuguang glanced at Dai Laoba.

    Dai Lao Ba smiled.

    Tao Xiang said: "If the old man is not at ease, he can go back to the city with us." He pondered for a moment, then took out his business card and handed it over.

    Dai Zuguang looked carefully through the light, and then said, "That being the case, please come with me Mr. Tao." He put the business card on the table, pressed it with a paperweight, and got up to invite Tao Xiang into the inner house.

    Tao Xiang followed Dai Zuguang to the back.

     When he arrived at the door of the room, Dai Zuguang knocked on the door and asked his wife to come out, and after some explanation, he accompanied Tao Xiang into the house, and he walked behind Tao Xiang.

    In the gloomy room, a bean light can't shine far, and there is a strong smell of medicine.

    Tao Xiang got closer and saw Jing Yi lying on the bed.
