Chapter Twenty-Three: Sickness Comes Like a Mountain
I slept very uncomfortably this night, feeling like I was in an ice cave for a while, and feeling like a steamer, with water coming and going, and my mouth was as bitter and dry as if I had a piece of coptis in my mouth.
I knew I must be sick, but I couldn't open my eyelids, I didn't have the strength in my body, and I couldn't move at all. Someone poured medicine into my mouth, and I opened my mouth, but I couldn't swallow it, and my heart was dry.
There was a man who kept muttering in my ear to wake me up, and said that if I woke up, he would give me everything, promise me everything, and muttered a lot of things, and I couldn't hear clearly.
I muttered to myself:
It must be Chen Mutou.
Give me everything.
Will you give me a mountain of gold?
This thing must have thought that I couldn't get better this time, so he fooled me like this and painted me a big pie.
Hmph, the old lady won't let him get his wish.
I'll get up and see if he dares to give me a mountain of gold.
Thinking, thinking, I fainted again.
I don't know how long it took, my consciousness came and went, and occasionally when I was awake, I was able to drink a little medicine, I fell asleep again, and when I woke up, I felt hungry and wanted to eat.
Well, if you can still know that you are hungry, then I won't be able to die for a while.
I sat up with my body propped up, my hand touched the edge of the bed, and I felt a hairy object, and I fixed my eyes to see that it was Su Molai's head.
Su Molai was woken up by me, he raised his head to look at me, and said happily: "You are awake!" ”
I said in a hoarse voice, "Thirsty." ”
Su Molai hurriedly stood up and went to pour me water, he may have been curled up on the ground for too long, his legs were numb, and he was limping when he walked.
I looked out the window, it was dark, it should be late at night.
Su Mo cautiously came back with a large bowl of water, and I took the bowl and drank it all.
I feel much better this time.
"What about the others?"
Su Mo replied, "I let them go and rest first, and Yugen is guarding the door." ”
"I'm hungry, get me something to eat."
Su Mo came to summon Yugen and asked him to go to the kitchen to get a bowl of hot porridge.
Seeing that I could get up and sit down, Yugen showed a rare hint of joy on his face, and asked, "Is the girl all right?" ”
Seeing me nodding, he actually smiled and said, "That's good." ”
Jade's smile almost stunned me.
This kid is so wicked.
Su Molai moved his body, stood between me and Yugen, and said to Yugen in a deep voice: "Let Zhu Jin bring the hot porridge on the pot, and then you can go back to sleep." ”
Yugen replied and withdrew.
I came back to my senses and asked Su Molai, "How many days have I been asleep?" ”
"It's been three days."
I saw that he was still wearing the same black clothes that night, and I asked, "Have you been with me all this time?" ”
Su Molai blushed, "Yes." ”
"Why don't you let the cuckoo serve them?"
Young Master Su condescended to serve me tea and water so condescendingly, which really flattered me.
"I'm worried about you, I can't leave, I started to worry when I got out of the Yanyu Pavilion, I'm afraid that you won't wake up again, I'm afraid that I'm not there when you wake up, I'm afraid that the first thing you see when you open your eyes is not me."
Su Molai looked up at me, his eyes were shining, and his appearance was very well-behaved and docile, which made me feel like I wanted to pamper him.
The air around me gradually warmed up, and I felt that I was starting to have a fever again, and my two faces (children) were hot and hot, and my heart felt like a rabbit suddenly jumping.
Su Molai's face got closer and closer, and a sweet smell of déjà vu entered my heart.
My brain stopped instantly.
It's a little closer...
It's going to be pasted...
It's coming, it's coming...
"Girl!"
Su Molai bounced up from the ground with a "swoop", his face flushed like a boiled crab.
Zhu Jin stood at the door with a food plate, looked at me inexplicably and asked, "What is the girl pouting for?" ”
I pinched my cheeks with my hand and replied, "It's okay, I've been lying down for too long, my face is a little swollen, I'm moving." ”
The cuckoo pestle was at the door, look at Su Molai, look at me, stepped out of the door with one foot, hesitated, and took it back.
I cleared my throat in embarrassment and said, "Got the porridge, right?" Give it to me, I'm going to starve to death! ”
Zhu Jin and Du Juan hurriedly walked up to me, Zhu Jin scooped the porridge into a small bowl, and Du Juan blew the porridge cold and brought it to my mouth.
I was very useful, and laughed: "It's good to have a little problem once in a while, and it's really a great joy in life to let two beauties take care of them so carefully." ”
Zhu Jin pouted and said: "The girl still has the heart to joke, you don't know how dangerous your illness is, and several times the doctor has said that you are afraid that you will not survive." ”
She whimpered as she spoke.
The cuckoo continued: "The girl has been having a high fever since she came back, and the doctor only said that it was an ordinary cold disease at first, but after drinking a few medicines, it did not get better, but it became more and more serious, and the next day the fever began to talk nonsense, we were scared a lot, but fortunately, the young master has been here to accompany us, and we have not lost our backbone." ”
I knew in my heart that if it weren't for Su Mo to come, with a few of them, I wouldn't even be able to invite a doctor, and I would probably be cold by now.
I looked at Su Molai and found that his eyes were black, his boiled eyes and cheeks were sunken, and his thin clothes were swaying. (Maybe it's not that exaggerated, but I added the special effects myself.) )
I smiled appreciatively at him.
He smiled too, very gently, very gently...
Yes! This little thing that hurts, I really want to take him into my arms, so rare.
The cuckoo stuffed a spoonful of porridge into my mouth and said, "Girl, the young master hasn't closed his eyes for three days. ”
Oh?
Oh!
I hurriedly said, "Young Master Su, go back and rest for a while." ”
Su Mo replied, "It's okay, then I'll come to see you tomorrow." ”
I asked Zhu Jin to send him out, and then said to Du Juan: "I feel that Su Molai is not as annoying as before. ”
The cuckoo didn't speak.
With porridge in my mouth, I asked vaguely, "What do you think of Su Molai?" ”
"I dare not argue about the merits of my masters."
I almost laughed, and said with a lewd expression: "If you want to discuss his strengths and weaknesses, you have to know your depth first." ”
The cuckoo immediately put down the bowl in his hand, knelt down and replied: "The cuckoo never dares to forget his identity, let alone have any thoughts about his master. ”
I picked up the bowl that the cuckoo had rested on the side of the bed, and drank the remaining half of the bowl of porridge in three or two sips.
My stomach is full, and my mood is better.
I looked at the cuckoo who was kneeling on the ground with a straight spine and sneered: "Juan'er, you don't have to use the word "identity" to point at me, I know my own catties, I am the illegitimate daughter of the cook, and my identity is not much more valuable than that of a maid, I know that you have never really regarded me as your master." ”
The cuckoo slammed his head on the ground and replied, "The slave doesn't dare." ”
This was the first time that the cuckoo had called himself a slave in front of me.
I got up and got out of bed, helped her up from the ground, and said to her: "I know that you have a high heart, and most people don't look at it, you respect Mrs. Xiangguo, but it's just because she is Su Molai's mother, in your heart, only Su Molai is your master, am I right?" ”
The cuckoo looked at me, and then replied, "The girl is smart, and I won't hide it from the girl." When I was a child, I begged along the street and was almost beaten to death, it was Su Gongzi who saved me, Su Gongzi was kind to me, but I have no love for Su Gongzi. ”
"You don't have a love for Su Molai, not because you don't want to, but because you don't dare. You are conceited, in fact, you are inferior to anyone else, you never see yourself as a slave, but you have the brand of a slave in your bones, and your background makes you have to restrain your feelings. ”
I can't help but feel sorry for Du Juan, she has no ability, but she succumbs to fate and does not dare to fight.
"Juan, you are different from Zhu Jin, you have no concerns, you don't care about money, and you don't even love beauty, but you only value kindness and righteousness, I thought that as long as I was sincere to you and married you, I could turn you into my person, but now it seems that our sisterhood can only go to this point."
The cuckoo is too smart, if such a person can't be used by me, then I can only give it up.
The cuckoo was taken aback, "The girl doesn't want me anymore?" ”
"You were sent by Mrs. Xiangguo, and I don't count if you go and stay." I waved my hand, "You go down, you don't need to wait here." ”
The cuckoo kowtowed again and said, "The girl is kind to the cuckoo, and the cuckoo has remembered it in her heart." ”
"I don't need you to remember, you can go."
The cuckoo slowly got up, saluted me again, and walked out the door.
-----------
By the next morning, I was almost healed.
I've always been porcelain, I can eat, drink and sleep, I rarely get sick, and I've been worrying too much lately, otherwise I wouldn't have been sick this time and almost soared.
Zhu Jin waited for me to freshen up, and then Yugen came in with the medicine and said, "Girl, it's time to drink the medicine." ”
I brought the medicine over, drank it all, and Yugen handed over a plum candy very intimately.
The plum sugar is sweet and sour, and it overshadows the bitterness in the mouth.
Yugen took the medicine bowl and was about to retreat, I called him and asked, "Why haven't you seen Yuzhu since I came back, where has he gone?" ”
Yugen's expression darkened, and Zhu Jin next to him hurriedly replied: "Yuzhu was betrayed by Madame." ”
I was shocked, "Sold? Why? Where did it go? ”
"That day, the young master sent someone to pick up the girl, and said to the maid at the door, just asked the girl to talk for a while, and the girl would be sent back before the time, so the two maids did not report the matter to the lady, but that day the girl did not return after the next day, the two maids couldn't hold back, so they reported the matter overnight, and the lady was furious, and sent someone to call the jade pillar who sent the girl out that day, and then I heard that he was betrayed by the lady."
"Where's the sale?"
"It seems to have been sold to a place called Changsannan Academy."
I know this place, Chen Muzi took me to play before.
It is said that it is a academy, but it is actually a brothel, in which there are both men and women, and now the elites of the upper class are so good that they are men, and it has become a fashion to play with small children, and it is said that even today's saints are good at raising their faces.
Changsan belongs to the second class of the top three in this industry, and most of the little ones in it are not selling their bodies, only doing flowers, or playing tea circles, even so, in fact, as long as the money is in place, there is no one who can't get out of bed.
Yugen knelt down with a "poof", walked to me on his knees, and begged: "Please save the girl, we were sold into a prostitute when we were young, I know best, that is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones!" The bustards trained the disobedient little ones, called three times at night, once late, and tomorrow it was thirty whips, and they refused to spare it. Move, start anew, with sesame oil in your mouth, and a drop of export, you have to be responsible. Yuzhu once told me that even if he was a cow or a horse, he would never want to go back to that kind of place. ”
In the final analysis, Yuzhu was also affected by me, and this time he also suffered for me.
I said to Yugen, "You get up first, I have my own plans for this matter." ”
Yugen bowed and kowtowed, then stood up.
The matter should be settled, but I don't really have any idea how to rescue Yuzhu from it.
The recent events have come out one after another, and I've really been a little anxious.
"Why is it so lively early in the morning?" Before Su Molai arrived, the sound arrived first, and I looked towards the door, where he was waving a folding fan and stepping through the door.
