Chapter 19: Descending the Mountain
"Yes. Master, I have something to repay. The person who went up the mountain today guessed that she was looking for the little girl. Look at the age, the age of thirty and standing. The stepfather who was supposed to be the little girl is now seriously injured. I don't know what to do? I guess I can't go. "Lightning reported truthfully.
When Li Jingcheng heard this, the first thing that came to his mind was that the girl should be very painful and blame herself now. I don't know if he's doing well or not. It must be crying very ugly again. The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't sit still, and then I got up and walked outside. Anyway, he decided to go down the mountain to pay a visit himself.
Deliver medicine
"Master, you better not go down the mountain today, your identity is very suspicious now, and going down now will only make people suspicious. It's not right to go down now. Lightning hurriedly persuaded.
Li Jingcheng thought in his heart, now is indeed not a good time, no one knows that there is such a person as him hidden on this mountain. Even if he goes down, what kind of identity should he use to meet the woman? Moreover, the people of the official family are now investigating him, if he goes down now, it will inevitably attract people's eyes and ears, and then it will be a steady stream of trouble.
Li Jingcheng secretly sat back in his original seat, gently clasped the table with his hand, and made a clanging sound.
"Master, go down now, that woman shouldn't have time to greet you, and she won't be in the mood to serve you, after all, her stepfather is lying in bed, where does she have time to understand your feelings. Not as good as me...... Why don't I go down instead of you, take the best gold sore medicine and secretly put it there for her, she will definitely understand your good intentions in her heart. Lightning said, in fact, he just didn't want his master to be in danger, and everything that had happened was still vivid, although many years had passed.
Li Jingcheng thought about it and felt that what Lightning said made sense, so he didn't want to go down for the time being.
"Then you go and come back quickly! Take a closer look at what the situation is and come back and report back to me. "After thinking about it, I still have to get good medicine, this poor mountain, the doctor has to go to the town to find it, and the medicinal materials are even more cherished, their family may not have the money to buy good medicinal materials, and the woman must be very sad if the condition is delayed. He instructed again: "Didn't you get Huang Yaoshi's medicine some time ago?" You take it. ”
"Yes, the subordinate took his leave first." Lightning said.
Lightning received the order and hurried down the mountain. hidden, hiding from everyone's eyes, and secretly thinking in his heart, except for that person, no one had stirred up such waves in the master's mind.
He thought that the master could finally be liberated and no longer have to suffer, because the appearance of that woman could allow him to slowly let go of the past. Since the woman's inadvertent appearance, the master has repeatedly broken the vows to change for her, hopefully, it is a good thing.
Lightning went directly to Lizheng's house, hid on the roof and lifted a tile, and looked at the person lying on the hospital bed. The man looked a little familiar but very unfamiliar, as if he had seen it before, and as if he had never seen it before, and looked very much like the old man before.
He looked at the person lying on the bed, and knew that this person must be the woman's stepfather, who looked no more than thirty years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a kind of everyone's spirit, not like a man in the mountains and fields that could be raised in this countryside. The whole body reveals a kind of scholarly gentleness.
The man lay weakly on the bed and looked at the young man who was sleeping next to him with his eyes open, as if he was thinking about something. Occasionally sighing or two, the boy should be his son. Dong Mingxuan moved slightly, and he sweated painfully, and his face looked a little paler, and he looked very badly injured.
Lightning didn't see Bai Jiaojiao's figure, thinking that he still had to give this medicine out through Bai Jiaojiao's hand, so that they could use it with confidence.
He moved to another house, and when he looked inside, he saw Bai Jiaojiao sitting in front of the kang and talking to a woman, who looked only in her thirties, very demure, and spoke softly and gently, occasionally putting her hand on her lower abdomen and gently touching it a few times.
Bai Jiaojiao listened to Tang's words, and suddenly heard two bird calls, not like ordinary bird calls, like a TV show. Bai Jiaojiao deliberately noticed the movement of the roof.
Bai Jiaojiao was very nervous, she didn't know who it was? Did he want to hurt his mother, father, and brothers? And what is the purpose? His eyes moved slightly, and his hand held the corner of his skirt tightly.
Tang noticed his daughter's reaction and asked, "Yiyi, what's wrong with you?" Isn't there something uncomfortable? You haven't rested yet, have you? Why don't you take a rest first, I don't think you're in very good spirits, so you don't need to talk to me here. ”
"Mother, I'm fine, I just suddenly thought of one thing just now. I'm not very tired, I'll be here with you. Bai Jiaojiao said, pretending to be calm and said to Tang.
"You kid must be obedient, go to rest when you're tired, if you fall down again, your brother is the only one in this family, then he will be very hard." Tang gently touched Bai Jiaojiao's head and said sadly.
"Mother, I know, don't worry, I'll take a look at my dad first, I'll see if my dad is awake. , you lie down and rest first. Bai Jiaojiao said.
"Go, go, go. Just take a look at your brother and give your brother a break. Tang said.
"Okay, I see, then you can lie down and sleep for a while." Bai Jiaojiao said.
Bai Jiaojiao just walked outside the door, and then lightning saw that no one noticed the movement outside, so she came down from the roof.
Bai Jiaojiao suddenly felt someone attacking her from behind, startled fiercely, and ran two steps forward.
"Miss, don't be afraid, I'm just following my master's instructions to bring you medicine. If you need anything, you can let me know. Seeing Bai Jiaojiao like this, Lightning said.
"Ah, I'm scared to death, I thought who I was, Eh...... It's nothing, thank you for me, master. Bai Jiaojiao knew that it must have been Li Jingcheng who sent someone over.
He was really well informed, and his heart secretly rejoiced. The guy was so lovely and always helped me when I needed it most.
There was some carefulness that touched Li Jingcheng, and he knew that what she needed most now might be medicine. Li Jingcheng is so powerful, the medicine he sent over should be very effective and precious.
"If you don't have any orders, then I'll go back first, the master is still waiting for my news." Lightning said.
"Hey, wait a minute, well, you can help me with a word. Thank you for the medicine he sent, and if we have the opportunity to meet in the future, I will thank him personally. Bai Manyi originally wanted to say something ridiculous, but she was really not in the mood to laugh at anything now, and her heart was only full of emotion.
Lightning saw that she didn't speak, but just looked at the medicine in her hand fixedly, and then picked up the light gong and flew up the mountain.
Bai Jiaojiao looked at the medicine in her hand, and couldn't calm down for a long time. It's so attractive to be a fairy-like person. is like a dove quenching his thirst, he obviously thinks that person is out of reach and an uncontaminated existence, but he still wants to provoke him, this is a poison that can't be stopped.
Bai Jiaojiao wanted to thank that person for his care and care for her, and always pulled out a knife to help her when she was in danger. When she needs help the most, that person will suddenly descend like a god and pull her out of the abyss of hell and give her hope and strength.
Bai Jiaojiao's eyes were full of tears again, but she held back, looked up at the sky, looked at the mountain in the distance, and saw nothing, as if she wanted to see something.
On that mountain, Li Jingcheng's figure appeared, as if to tell her: You have to be strong, I will always be there. Bai Jiaojiao showed the most sincere smile she had ever smiled at the mountain, and smiled slightly.
Bai Jiaojiao cleaned up her mood, took the medicine and entered the house, and saw Qingfeng falling asleep at the foot of her father's bed.
When Dong Mingxuan saw Bai Jiaojiao coming in, he withdrew his gaze on Qingfeng, his eyes flashing slightly. Qingfeng quickly woke up when he heard the movement.
"Dad, how do you feel, this is the medicine I asked for from the doctor, I heard that it is a secret recipe, I asked for it with a lot of money, it is very effective, you can try it" Bai Jiaojiao said and handed the medicine to Qingfeng.
"Why should you? I'm just a skin injury, out of the way. Dong Mingxuan said.
"Dad, don't say that, I hope you get better soon, we all hope you are healthy." Bai Jiaojiao said.
"Okay, Dad promised you, it will get better." Dong Mingxuan said with some emotion.
Qingfeng gave the medicine to Dong Mingxuan, and dinner will be eaten at Lizheng's house, Bai Jiaojiao and Qingfeng are very grateful.
"Uncle, thank you, we appreciate it." Bai Jiaojiao said.
"You kid, what are you talking about, your father and your mother are sick now, and I have to take care of them as a lizheng or a neighbor. Be at ease. Uncle Lizheng said.
The next day, Tang's health was slightly better, so he got out of bed to see Dong Mingxuan, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw Dong Mingxuan's pale face, and his heart was secretly painful, his eyes were sour, and he wanted to cry, but he was afraid that he would worry, so he secretly endured it and walked forward with a smile.
"Are you okay? If there is any pain, do you want to call the doctor over and take a look? Tang walked to the bed in front of Dong Mingxuan and sat down, his eyes couldn't stop looking at the wounds on his body. The tears that I had been holding back fell again.
"Wanniang, don't cry, I'm fine. You see, I'm not good. Dong Mingxuan said anxiously. I was anxious to do it, but the wound on my body moved, which made my already pale face even paler.
"Lie down quickly, don't move, the wound will open again in a while, and it will not be good." Tang hurriedly held Dong Mingxuan to prevent him from moving.
Dong Mingxuan lay down slowly, looking at Tang's eyes, and wanted to hug her to comfort her and tell her not to worry.
Dong Mingxuan raised his head, didn't know what he was thinking, stretched out his hand and held Tang's hand tightly, Bai Jiaojiao saw that Dong Mingxuan had something to say to his mother, so he pulled Qingfeng out of the house, Dong Mingxuan saw that there was no one in the house, and lowered his voice and said to Lan's: "It's also hard for you, since you got married, even if you didn't enjoy it for a day, you will suffer with me." ”
Tang's voice was full of endless lightness and energy: "Look at what you said, what are you afraid of?" What are you afraid of? As long as our family can stay together, we will not fall into the hands of others, and we will not be afraid of no matter how hard and tired we are!! We are still young, don't we have to suffer hardships and tiredness!! Isn't life easy? I don't feel hard, but I feel very happy, with you, supporting our mother, I am very satisfied. ”
Tang gently held Dong Mingxuan's hand, and there was some inexplicable emotion in his heart, when a person is single-minded and only has you, you will feel very happy.
"Yiyi, what are you pulling me for?" Qingfeng asked.
"Are you stupid? Don't you see that my mother has something to say to my father? You're still there as a light bulb. You're there, and they're embarrassed to say it? Bai Jiaojiao glared at Qingfeng helplessly and said.
"Oh... I really didn't pay attention. Qingfeng giggled and gently patted the back of his head with his hand.
"This time, my father was injured, and my mother was also very worried, they must have a lot of whispers to talk about. You're there, it's just going to make them embarrassed and hard to speak. Bai Jiaojiao said. He made it on the stone bench next to him and patted his clothes with his hand. "All of a sudden, I felt like they were so happy. Ordinary people say that halfway husband and wife are profitable. I don't think that's the case now. Dad and Mom are very good people, and I think they must be very happy together. ”
