Chapter 6 There is no way out of doubt
A penny is difficult for a hero, I don't know if Xu You is a hero or not, but in the face of the facts in front of him, he can't help but worry. As a well-known fox commander in the private equity industry, if in his previous life, he had countless ways to start from scratch, but there was no place for him here. Thinking about it, it was half a day later, seeing the sun moving through the middle of the sky, slowly setting to the west, Xu You was still at a loss, how easy it was to raise a large amount of money in just three or two days, and it was not just that with the road fee could solve all the problems - to Qiantang, there must be a place to live, and if you can't afford to buy a house, you have to rent a place, that Qiantang has been a fireworks field since ancient times, ten miles long street, bright lights, and the high housing prices are not asked, and it makes people headache to think about.
The autumn equinox flushed another cup of warm water and brought it over, I didn't eat for almost two days, I relied on drinking some water to satisfy my hunger, Xu You took the water bowl, suddenly dizzy, and fell the bowl to the ground, bang, splashing all over the place!
"Xiaolang?" The autumn equinox was shocked, stretched out his hand to support Xu You, and exclaimed, "Xiaolang, what's wrong with you?" ”
Xu You leaned on the arms of the autumn equinox, closed his eyes and rested for a while, feeling that the dizziness had subsided slightly, then he straightened up and said weakly: "It doesn't matter, don't worry." ”
He didn't know how to do medicine, but he also knew that he was overthinking and malnourished, which led to insufficient oxygen supply to his head, and he would be fine after a while of bed rest.
Autumn Equinox stared at Xu You's pale and bloodless face, as if he had made up his mind, helped him to the bed and lay down, and said, "I'll go find something to eat, Xiaolang, you sleep for a while, and when I come back, I'll make you milk stuffed fish......"
Xu You wanted to stop her, but as soon as he raised his head, it was dark again, coughed a few times in a row, and fell asleep on the bed with his body crooked.
I don't know how long it took, it felt like it was as long as a few days and nights, and the aroma of the lungs and spleen suddenly came from the end of the nose, Xu You subconsciously stretched out his tongue and licked his chapped lips, and heard the sound of the autumn equinox ringing softly in his ears, and said: "Xiaolang, wake up, come and eat fish!" ”
Xu You barely opened his eyes and saw the autumn equinox holding a plate, which was the milk-stuffed fish that the little girl had been thinking about, with a golden fish body and milky white soup, not to mention the hungry people, even if they had just eaten a whole basket of steamed buns, they couldn't help but move their index fingers.
"Where do the fish come from? Did you go to Xijiang? ”
Xu You's eyes were very stern, although he changed into a coarse cloth dress at the autumn equinox, the green silk on one end was still wet, and he didn't even have a bun, just draped over his shoulders, and his face was not as white as usual, with a faint cyan.
Due to the manor economy of closing mountains and occupying waters, the lakes and rivers rich in fish and shrimp in Yixing County have long been occupied and divided by various scholars, and the most famous lakes are all Xu's industries, and now they have been sealed by the imperial court, and there is no way to enter them. In addition, some public lakes are surrounded by fishermen who depend on it for their livelihood, and it is impossible for a little girl to enter the water to catch fish in full view of everyone at the autumn equinox. So she can only go to the river outside the county, where the beach is dangerous and the waves are urgent, the water conditions are complicated, and the water temperature is much lower than the lake in the county.
Qiu Equinox pursed his lips stubbornly and didn't say a word, just spooned the fish soup and sent it to Xu You's mouth. Xu You looked at her still childish face, and couldn't open his mouth no matter what the words of reproach were. He is not pedantic, and since the matter has come to this, what is the use of reproaching? Only by quickly taking care of the body, and then seeking a solution to the predicament, is it possible to learn from the style of those upright gentlemen, not to eat the food that comes to them, and to throw away this plate of fish?
"What are you doing? Feed me! ”
"Huh?" The autumn equinox was ready to be scolded, but when he heard Xu You say this, his eyes were in a trance, and he nodded busily, and said, "Okay, okay...... Xiaolang eats slowly, it's still a little hot. ”
Leaning on the head of the bed, eating most of the stuffed fish in one bite, Xu You felt a little soothed in his abdomen, but his spirit was still very tired, and he ordered the autumn equinox to eat the remaining fish, and fell asleep with his head tilted again.
"Xiaolang, I'm afraid...... It's cold, it's so cold here......"
Xu You heard an intermittent murmur in his ears in his sleep, and thought he was dreaming, but as the voice became clearer and clearer, he suddenly woke up, and listened to it, it seemed to be the murmur of the autumn equinox outside, and hurriedly put on his clothes and walked out, through the bright moonlight outside the window, he saw the autumn equinox lying on the small bed with a very painful expression, his cheeks were flushed, his hands were tightly hugged on his shoulders, and he muttered something in his mouth.
Xu You walked over and touched her forehead, her hand was very hot, and he shouted softly, but he didn't get any response, but his body curled up even more, and even his teeth began to tremble up and down.
"Silly girl......"
Xu You was a little distressed, the river was cold, very people could bear it, she didn't know how long she stayed in the river in order to catch fish, and when she came back, she didn't boil hot water to ward off the cold for herself, but cooked a dish of milk-stuffed fish, so that the cold invaded her lungs, resulting in a high fever.
If it was in the previous life, just take some antipyretics, it's a big deal to go to the hospital for an emergency, but here, a high fever is a fatal thing, especially now that it's late at night, where to find Lang Zhong to see a doctor? Even if they find it, with the experience of Yu Bo and their past during the day, they will definitely not come to see a doctor. There is also the most difficult point, since Li Zhi took office, in order to quickly stabilize the situation, the strictest curfew in history was promulgated, but whenever he went out after the change, he was caught and hit forty boards first - he was not afraid of being beaten, but he was really going to be beaten, and no one cared about the autumn equinox.
Since you can't seek medical treatment, you can only save yourself, Xu You was born as an orphan, and he has always resisted when he is sick, and he can't bear it, so he will make his own way according to the folk earthwork, and he also knows a lot of physical cooling methods. Thinking of it, he immediately went to the kitchen to light firewood and boiled water, soaked it with a towel and covered the forehead of the autumn equinox, and repeated it three or five times, seeing that the effect was not great, he had to help her untie the neckline of the inner coat, revealing a white and tender neck, and then gently wiped it with warm water, then the wrists and ankles, and after wiping, he picked up the bowl and fed her some warm water.
Just kept drinking, covering and wiping, and the forehead of the autumn equinox was finally not as hot and terrifying as it was at first, but the body was still shivering with cold, and the mouth was still talking nonsense:
"Is it useless to be a...... Wait for the girl of the Yuan family to marry...... Xiaolang will not ...... I won't suffer anymore......"
Xu You frowned, and it was only at this time that he found a little shadow of a certain woman from the depths of Xu You's memory before. He sat for a moment, a light flashing through his mind, as if he had found a way out of the fog from the predicament he had faced since being reborn.
Xu You got up and went back to the room to get his quilt, hugged the autumn equinox in his arms, and then wrapped the bodies of the two tightly with the quilt, so he snuggled up and warmed her with body temperature.
The bright moon hung high outside the window, and the cool moonlight crossed the walls and the treetops, shining that faint light on the square inch in front of the bed, one step away from the two people on the bed.
The distance of this step made Xu You and Qiu Equinox stay in the dark, just like their lives at this time!
"Water, Water ......"
The autumn equinox made a weak cry, Xu You was carrying a bowl of warm water and walked in with the curtain open, the sun outside bathed his shoulders, as if a round of Buddha light rose behind him. He walked quickly to the bed, sat sideways on the edge of the bed, gently held up the head of the autumn equinox, and whispered, "Awake?" Come, drink some water. ”
Qiu Equinox opened his eyes slightly, and after seeing that it was Xu You, he forced himself to get up and get out of bed, but he reached out and held it down, and said, "My forehead is not very hot just now, lie down obediently and don't move." ”
“…… Xiaolang, am I going to die......"
Xu You stretched out his index finger and tapped her forehead, "Stupid words! It's just a cold, something that doesn't die. ”
"But I, I don't have a ...... Strength ......"
"Come, open your mouth, be obedient!" Xu You fed her a few sips of warm water and chuckled: "Usually with so much strength, where does she look like a weak little girl?" Or will this be a lack of strength, and it will look a bit like a girl! ”
Autumn Equinox pursed his mouth and panted and said, "Xiaolang, you...... You're playing tricks on me......"
Xu You knows that people are the most vulnerable when they are sick, whether it is mental or physical, it will cause a series of chain reactions due to the decline of willpower, so he tries his best to act as if nothing happened between words, so that she feels relaxed and calm from the heart.
In many cases, the psychological effect will be more obvious than the effect of drugs!
Sure enough, after a few laughs, the spirit of the autumn equinox has improved considerably, looking at Xu You's gentle eyes like jade, he suddenly lowered his head and said, "Xiaolang, you took care of me all night, didn't you?" ”
Xu You didn't need to listen to what he wanted to say at the autumn equinox, and said, "Compared to your undressed care of me for a month, just one night is nothing." By the way, I forgot to tell you a happy event, I heard the cry of geese this morning, and I suddenly thought of a way to make money. ”
"How to make money?"
The autumn equinox didn't understand for a while, and said, "Xiaolang, do you want to do business?" But where did we get the money......"
"Doing business? Ha, so to speak. Xu You said with a smile: "But this transaction is different from other transactions, not only does it not require capital, but also guarantees that we will earn all our expenses in the next year or two within one day." ”
The autumn equinox is silent, how can there be any business in the world that can make a lot of money in one day? Although she has had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, after all, her status is low, and she is not like her own Xiaolangjun who knows nothing about money management - if it is so easy to do business, where will there be poor people in the world?
Of course, Xu You could see the doubts about the autumn equinox, but he didn't explain, and said: "When we have money, we can hire an ox cart to travel all the way to Qiantang, speaking of which, I have grown so big, and I have rarely left Yixing County, and I went to Wu County a few years ago, but I only lived in Wu County for a few days, I don't know if Qiantang is as prosperous and splendid as others say......
Qiu Feng was infected by his determined demeanor, and it was unrealistic to stop thinking about ways to make money, and he was secretly longing in his heart: hearing that the water of Qiantang Lake was rippling, it was the most moving, and he would be content to take a look at it in this life and this life.
Taking care of the autumn equinox and falling asleep again, Xu You sat under the eaves and basked in the sun leisurely, his wide robe with an open neckline, reaching in and gently scratching the itch, very much the style of the seven sages of the bamboo forest in the Wei and Jin dynasties in his previous life.
Yuan Girl......
Xu You looked up at the sun and narrowed his eyes: It seems to be called Yuan Qingqi, right?
Speaking of which, although he fused Xu You's memories, some of the memories were deeper, some were more vague, and some of them didn't know where to hide in their heads if they didn't deliberately recall them...... So in the past few days since his rebirth, he was first tortured on the sickbed, followed by Chen Mu making trouble, and there was no food source, when food and clothing could not be solved, where could he still remember the Yuan family girl who had already made a marriage with him? If it weren't for the confusion of the autumn equinox last night, he would almost have forgotten that there was such a thing.
Yes, his money-making plan all has to fall on this Yuan family girl!
Xu You looked at the door, if his estimate was not bad, the news of his recovery must have reached the ears of the Yuan clan of Chenjun, so the other party would definitely come to visit him in the next two days, and then he could have a good business discussion.
The sun gradually moved over the middle of the sky, and the sunlight became hot, Xu You got up two or three times, went back to the room to feed the autumn equinox, and sat quietly on the stool the rest of the time, with a pair of black and white eyes, looking at the direction of the door from time to time.
Noon, Shen time, unitary time, time has never been so slow, but it also seems to have never been so fast......
Night fell again, the autumn wind blew the dead leaves of the treetops, quietly sending the coolness into the placket of the clothes, Xu You rubbed his hands, flicked off a few leaves on the hem of his robe, got up and sighed.
He was just a little disappointed, but he was not desperate, as a senior financial person, the first thing he learned was that until the last minute, he would never speak of failure.
There are still two days left before the date promised by Li Zhi!
He can wait!
Just as he turned to enter the house, there was the sound of ticking hooves and the creaking of ruts and wheels on the bluestone path outside the yard.
"Is Xu Langjun here, Jin Ling Taishou and Feng Tong, the steward of the Left Army General's Mansion, came to visit."
Xu You stood still, raised his head, turned his back to the courtyard gate, and a smile overflowed from the corner of his lips.
