On the way to Xu Ning Street, Ah Zheng's face became paler and paler, and in the late autumn weather, beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. Ning Xia Qing didn't know what it was like for a person to be burned alive, she was only burned by wax oil once, and she felt so painful that Ah Zheng burned Yin Yin blood marks on both arms in order to save her.

When he arrived at the Gupeng Inn, Ah Zheng had already turned his lips white. Jade hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and ran into the inn, and soon, Yelu Wushu, who had a burn ointment, rushed into the carriage with a burnt face.

"This ...... This ......" Yelu Wushu's eyebrows were furrowed, and her lips were tightly pursed, Ning Xia Qing had never seen Yelu Wushu with such a nervous expression, and she also knew for the first time that it turned out that Yelu Wushu was really terrible when it was serious, and it turned out that the people of the Northland would not have the feeling of being easy to talk to them on weekdays when they were serious.

"This is just medicine for burns, I don't have any medicine for burns, so I can only give him this." Yelu Wushu hurriedly applied scald ointment to Ah Zheng, looked at Ning Xia Qing with a worried face, and said solemnly: "I still have to go to see the doctor, but at this time, the medical hall is closed." ”

Ningxia Qing lowered his eyes, equally troubled. Yelu Wushu glanced at her again, as if he had just remembered, and said with concern: "By the way, I forgot to ask just now, how is Miss Ning?" Did it hurt? ”

"Ah Zheng protected me, I'm fine." She said this without thinking about it, but she felt as if she was a little sorry for the Yeluwushu. After all, Yelu Wushu and Ah Zheng are brothers, and Ah Zheng was injured in order to protect her, and she felt that it was normal for her to feel ashamed of Yelu Wushu.

Seeing that her face seemed to be ashamed, Yelu Wushu smiled happily and said, "My brother is a man, and it is right to protect Miss Ning, and Miss Ning doesn't need to have any burden in her heart." ”

Ning Xia Qing was shocked, she felt ashamed, but she didn't say it, but Yelu Wushu realized her subtle thoughts. Ning Ningqing couldn't help but think to himself, are these northerners like this, heroic and informal, on the surface, but in fact, they have long been aware of all the details, and they are always taking care of everyone around them, both openly and secretly?

But now is not the time to think about these things.

Ning Xia Qing paused for a moment and said, "Yes, the medical hall must be closed." Otherwise, go and call Dong Zizhen over, he knows a lot of people, please ask him to find burn medicine, I think he should be able to find it. ”

Yelu Wushu nodded after hearing this, and said, "Shopkeeper Dong knows me, and I will go to him in person." Then he asked the address of the Dong family, and then hurried to find Dong Zizhen.

Ning Ningqing looked at Ah Zheng and felt that it was not a matter to keep Ah Zheng here, and it was better to put him in a comfortable place. This place is already the boundary on Xu Ning Street, and Ning Xia Qing asked Zhen Fu to drive home immediately.

Back at Ning's house, Ningxia Qing asked Zhen Fu to help Ah Zheng to the nearby living room, and then asked Zhen Fu to wait for Yelu Wushu and Dong Zizhen at the door of the Gupeng Inn, and told the two that Ah Zheng had returned to Ning's house.

Ah Zheng was sitting in the living room, and when the living room didn't even light the oil lamp, Ning Xia Qing looked at Ah Zheng in the moonlight shining in from the door.

Since she met Ah Zheng, Ah Zheng's face had never been so pale as it was now, and Ah Zheng was covered in black marks, some of his clothes were charred by the fire, and some were his skin and flesh that had been burned by the fire.

Cuiyu served tea, and with Ningxia Qing's hand, Ah Zhengjiang drank a cup, and Cuiyu whispered to Ningxia Qing: "Girl, you go to the backyard to change your clothes first." ”

Ningxia Qinggang was about to refuse, but Cuiyu motioned for her to look at herself with her eyes. Ning Xia Qingyi lowered her head, only to see that her body was also full of scorch marks, she often wore frost white, moon white, fish belly white and other colors, but now her whole body was like black charcoal, and even her wrists outside her clothes were black.

Jade said again, "When the girl returns home, Mrs. will definitely get the letter." Every time the girl comes home, she will go to talk to her wife, and if the girl doesn't come, she will send someone to ask, in short, the girl has to clean up and deal with the past. ”

Ning Xia Qing nodded, looked at Ah Zheng, squatted down in front of Ah Zheng, and said gently, "Wait for me." ”

Ah Zheng nodded and whispered, "I'm fine, you can go back to your wife." ”

Ningxia Qing and Cuiyu hurried back to the backyard.

After she goes home on weekdays, she will talk to Cao, and if it doesn't pass for a while, Cao's will send someone to ask. She had to quickly clean herself up, and then go to see the Cao family, and fool the Cao family first.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Cuizhi and Cuiluo, who were waiting inside, were startled, and looked at the embarrassed Ningxia Qing, their eyes widened. Cuiyu told her and the two of them not to say it, Cuiluo was still stunned, but Cuizhi had already reacted and pulled Cuiluo to retreat.

Just as Cui Zhi was about to walk out of the courtyard, Lan Ying came in from outside the courtyard!

Lan Ying's voice came into the ears of Ningxia Qing and Cuiyu in the room, and Lan Ying asked Cui Zhi Cuiluo: "Is the big girl back?" My wife asked me to take a look at the big girl. ”

Ning Xia Qing and Cuiyu glanced at each other, their eyes were uneasy, but fortunately, Cui Zhi said to Lan Ying outside: "The corner of the eldest girl's skirt is splashed with a little mud, and she is changing her clothes, and she will go to find her wife after changing her clothes." ”

"That's good, that's good. When the wife saw that the eldest girl still hadn't come, she was a little anxious. Lan Ying said reassuringly, and then left. Ningxia Qinghe Cuiyu was relieved at this time.

Ning Ningqing's clothes are almost black, he has been trapped in the fire for so long, even if he is not blackened, he has to be blackened, even Ning Ningqing's hair and face are full of black, and there is a unique smell of paste in the fire.

Cuiyu first helped Ningxia Qing take off her black clothes, changed Ningxia Qing into a clean one from the inside out, and then hurriedly helped Ningxia Qing wash her face.

"Fortunately, the girl's hair is black, although it is a little blackened now, but it is night at the moment, and the eldest girl will go to the wife's room in a while, and the wife will not be able to see it." Cuiyu said as she helped Ningxia Qing comb away the floating ash on the top layer of her bun.

Cuiyu said with some concern: "Girl, this matter is so big tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it from my wife for long." ”

"I know." Ning Xia Qing closed her dry eyes and replied tiredly.

Walking the water is not a trivial matter, not to mention such a ferocious fire, and it burned a person to death, this matter will definitely become a topic of conversation after tea and dinner in Meigong County, especially if this incident happened in Wanyanfang, it will definitely arouse people's interest in talking. It won't be long before the Cao clan will definitely hear the wind.

Moreover, although when she was rescued, the night was dark, and her face was covered with a layer of black smoke, and no one recognized her, but it did not mean that no one would guess that the person who was rescued was her. At that time, there will definitely be people who do that good thing to chew the root of their tongue in front of Cao.

The most important thing is that Jing Qi is dead, and the government will definitely investigate it. As the most important witness, Ning Xia Qing will definitely be found by the government, and he will definitely be summoned to testify in court, and it will definitely be a more troublesome matter at that time, and then it will be impossible to hide it from the Cao family.

Ningxia Qing closed his eyes. Cao is timid, she has to tell Cao about this, and try not to shock Cao too much.

She opened her eyes and said with some anxiety: "Anyway, I must not be able to hide it, I will tell my wife about it in a while, it is better than letting her hear it from the mouths of others." ”

"Have you figured out what to say?" Jade asked uneasily.

Ning Xia Qing suddenly stretched out his hand to cover his face, and said worriedly: "I don't know, I don't know." ”

How could she explain to Cao why she was in a place like Wan Yanfang? Do you want to tell the Cao family that he is looking for Jing Qi? But she couldn't tell Cao Shi bluntly that she suspected the cause of Ning Yongda's death, so she went to ask Jing Qi, which would make Cao even more worried.

Ning Xia Qing took down the hand on his face and asked as if evading: "Where is Ah Zheng?" How's it going? Are Brother Yelu and Shopkeeper Dong here? ”

Cuiyu has always been with Ningxia Qing, so naturally she doesn't know the situation in the living room, but Ningxia Qing doesn't seem to really ask Cuiyu, but is talking to herself, and immediately continues: "I'll go see him." He was too badly injured and I was not at ease. ”

Cuiyu didn't have time to stop Ningxia Qing, but saw that Ningxia Qing had already gone to the front yard, and Cuiyu had to follow.

When Ning Xia Qing and Cuiyu arrived in the living room, they saw that Yelu Wushu and Dong Zizhen were already there. It turned out that Dong's mother had burned her fingers when she was lighting a fire, and she bought burn medicine to go home at that time, so the Dong family originally had the remaining burn medicine. As soon as Yelu Wushu told him about the situation, Dong Zizhen ran over with the medicine at home.

Ning Xia Qing and Cuiyu stood there, watching Yelu Wushu and Dong Zizhen gather around Ah Zheng on the left and right, and they were applying medicine to Ah Zheng.

Ningxia Qing didn't know what to do. She felt that she should personally apply medicine to Ah Zheng, after all, it was Ah Zheng who saved her life, but she looked at Yelu Wushu's skillful technique, and even Dong Zizhen on the side was obviously very experienced in applying medicine, she felt that she was very useless, even if it passed, I am afraid it would only add to the chaos.

She stood for a while, not knowing what to do, so she had to tell Jade: "Go and light a few more lights, it's a little dark in the room." ”

Yelu Wushu hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay, that's enough, I can see it." When he spoke, he didn't raise his head at all, and he was completely dedicated to treating Ah Zheng's injuries.

From such a distance, in the not very bright living room, Ning Xia Qing could not distinguish Ah Zheng's injury from the scorched black, but looking at Yelu Wushu's serious expression and the sweat slowly pouring out of Yelu Wushu's forehead, she could imagine that Ah Zheng was seriously injured, it must be very heavy, otherwise Yelu Wushu would not be so serious.

Even Dong Zizhen, who has always been able to speak well, stopped talking, and wholeheartedly helped Yelu Wushu to give Ah Zheng medicine.

Yelu Wushu said uneasily while helping Ah Zheng with the medicine: "He has fainted, but it's not a big deal, it's just that it hurts too much, so the pain just fainted." But he can't take him back to the inn like this, he doesn't have his own house here, so let's send him back to his old house to raise him for a few days. ”

Ningxia Qing nodded again and again.

Helping Ah Zheng roughly deal with the wound, Dong Zizhen straightened up, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said, "Brother Yelu, it's about to be curfew, you go back to the inn first, I will take care of Ah Zheng here." ”

Yelu Wushu looked at the sky outside, nodded, and said, "Then I'll go back first." ”

Ning Xia Qing looked at Dong Zizhen and said, "Shopkeeper Dong, you can go home too." It's not that I don't want to keep you, but you also know that I don't have any extra room here, and you can't rest well if you stay here. Ah Zheng is taking care of me, you go home, come back tomorrow. ”

Dong Zizhen thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, the head of the family is also frightened tonight, so let's have a good rest." I'll help you send Ah Zheng back to the room first, and then I'll go back first. ”

Yelu Wushu also came to help, and together with Dong Zizhen, he sent Ah Zheng back to the house. Immediately, Yelu Wushu and Dong Zizhen hurriedly left while there was no curfew.

Ningxia Qing stayed in Ah Zheng's house, she had already asked Cuiyu to light a few more lights here, and under the bright lights, she finally saw Ah Zheng's injuries clearly.

Inch after inch, it spread over his arm, covered with translucent ointment, which covered almost his entire arm, but where the ointment had not been applied, there were still bits of wounds that had been ignored by Yelu Wushu and Dong Zizhen.

Ning Xia Qing took the burn medicine left by Dong Zizhen and began to carefully apply it to Ah Zheng.

"Girl, I'll come." Jade whispered.

Ning Ningqing was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "You go out first, and also, close the door." ”

"Girl......" Cuiyu was a little anxious.

"Let's get out." Ning Xia Qing said calmly but resolutely: "You go and clean up yourself." Didn't you get knocked unconscious, and your clothes and hair were dirty? Don't change it yet. You're going to go with me to see your wife in a while, and if you look embarrassed, won't your wife notice that something is wrong? ”

Cuiyu looked at Ning Xia Qing and Ah Zheng, pursed her lips, and there was some helplessness and worry in her eyes, but she still went out obediently.

The shelf outside the door has been left unattended for a while, and that shelf was used by the guys to tie clothes, and then there is a new shelf that is stronger, so the guys don't need this old shelf. Only Ah Zheng will occasionally use this rack to dry quilts and clothes.

Ah Zheng has been walking for all these days, and there are already vines that have seen the stitches climbing up along the shelf.

The veins on the green leaves of the vines are clear, and they show a three-dimensional outline in the moonlight.
