Chapter Fifty-Eight: Rebirth and Change
When Xia Wuqi drove his horse out of the city, the sun had already shifted to the west, so the sunlight at this time was naturally not as unbearable as at noon. Despite this www.biquge.info Xia Wuqi was still sweating profusely.
"Drive!"
For fear of delaying the treatment of Old Doctor Liu, Xia Wuqi kept pumping the horsewhip and urging.
Xia Wuqi originally wanted to lead Ah Fang to the market to fight tooth sacrifices, after all, the little girl was frightened and hungry all night, and she woke up early without sleeping long, but who would have expected that a wave of unsettled waves would rise again. Just after Xia Wuqi drove away, Xiao Lizi picked up Ah Fang and hurriedly walked towards Old Doctor Liu's house.
At this time, it was already afternoon, and the people in Handan City were quite lively. After Xia Wuqi left, everyone who saw the scene of Fang Cai turned their heads and whispered in twos and threes. At this time, where is Xiao Lizi in the mood to care about other people's mouths, although he is in the city, his heart has already flown out of the city with Xia Wuqi.
"Brother Lizi, where are we going?" Ah Fang asked softly in Xiao Lizi's ear.
The little girl's voice like a yellow bird shocked Xiao Lizi's heart, and an inexplicable feeling that she had never felt before instantly spread throughout her body.
"Huh? Belch...... Oh, let's ...... Let's go to Grandpa Liu's house! Shrinking his neck a little embarrassed, Xiao Lizi replied with a smile.
When the little girl heard this, she no longer spoke, but leaned on Xiao Lizi's shoulder very obediently.
"Hehehe...... This little girl! ”
Xiao Lizi turned her head and glanced at the little girl very dotingly, but she didn't even owe it for a second, and her originally smiling face instantly turned cold.
"Fang'er, who bullied you? Tell your brother that he's angry for you! ”
Xiao Lizi was in a hurry, but he didn't notice the abnormality on Ah Fang's face, and now when he saw the little girl's face was bruised and swollen, he raised his eyebrows.
The little girl didn't reply when she heard this, but her young body trembled slightly involuntarily.
Seeing this, Xiao Lizi couldn't help frowning and asked, "Is it Zhang Kui's bastard boy again!" ”
Ah Fang shook his head slightly and replied softly: "No"
"Who's that?"
The little girl knew who Xiao Lizi was, and when she saw that he was asking tightly, she had to repeat what she said to Old Doctor Liu by the Zhu River to Xiao Lizi.
"What...... What the! ”
Hearing that Ah Fang was taken out of the city by five black-clothed men armed with iron short knives yesterday, Xiao Lizi's originally hurried steps suddenly stopped, and looked at Ah Fang in his arms in disbelief. Looking at the bruises on the little girl's face, Xiao Lizi seemed to realize something, and ran towards Old Doctor Liu's house with her legs.
"Brother Lizi, what's wrong?"
Xiao Lizi didn't reply when he heard this, but just hugged Ah Fang and blindly ran towards Old Doctor Liu's house. In the streets and alleys, the pedestrians on the street were confused by Xiao Lizi's extremely strange behavior, and the "news exchange meeting" that had been stopped was launched again in a whisper.
After a while, Xiao Lizi stopped in front of a green brick and grass house with Ah Fang in his arms. Seeing that the door was open, Xiao Lizi didn't call the door, and went straight in.
The house of Old Doctor Liu's house is not big, that is, there are two more inner rooms than ordinary people's houses, so Xiao Lizi who broke into the house did not shout, and looked at it, and the situation in the house was in full view.
"Hiss......"
Seeing that the little medicine apprentice was not at home, Xiao Lizi couldn't help but gasp. Reaching out and touching the bed that had not yet been made, a chill instantly spread from his fingers to Xiao Lizi's heart.
Just when Xiao Li Zi was shocked, Aunt Chen walked in with a little trembling: "Li Zi, you ...... What are you doing here! ”
Xiao Lizi often accompanies Zhang Mancang in the army, so his identity is also special. If there is no major incident in the army, Xiao Lizi will naturally not enter the city easily, and Aunt Chen knows this. Now that Xiao Lizi suddenly appeared at Doctor Liu's house, Aunt Chen asked in surprise.
I don't know if it's because Aunt Chen's voice is too quiet, or because of other reasons, Xiao Lizi didn't react at all, just stood there in a daze.
When Aunt Chen saw this, she knew that something was wrong, and at this time, she saw Ah Fang, who had a blue nose and swollen face, snuggled in Xiao Lizi's arms, and remembered what happened last night: "Lizi, how did Fang'er be by your side, how did you find it?" Last night, Doctor Xia went crazy...... Hiss...... How did the house become like this? ”
Xiao Lizi looked at Ah Fang in his arms, thought for a moment and replied: "The boy entered the city this time to find Doctor Xia, and happened to meet the father and daughter in the street. Because of the urgency in the army, he asked Doctor Xia to leave first and let the kid take care of the room! As for the previous thing...... Hiss...... The boy doesn't know much about ......."
Because of Chen Liangsi, Xiao Lizi just replied to Aunt Chen hastily and then changed the topic: "By the way, what about Ping'er?" ”
"Ping'er...... Hiss...... I saw him last night! I didn't see it after dawn, and the old woman thought that he hadn't slept well yesterday, and now he was sleeping lazy! What, he's not at home? ”
"Not in ......"
"Huh? No, the old woman didn't see Ping'er go out today! ”
"Auntie, think about it again, didn't you pay attention to Ping'er when she went out?" Xiao Lizi asked with a deep breath.
"Never! If the old doctor is not at home, Ping'er will inform the old woman when she goes out! Aunt Chen replied with certainty.
"Shhh...... Is it ......?"
Aunt Chen seemed to have thought of something, and her dry old eyes, which were originally godless, suddenly widened a little, and her wrinkled old face was also full of horror. Without Aunt Chen saying it, Xiao Lizi realized that Xiao Lizi was very likely to be lost!
For the little medicine apprentice, the little plum is all too familiar. Although the little medicine apprentice is an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, he is as well-behaved and obedient as Ah Fang, and he is naturally meticulous and serious in his work. This kind of thing like running out to play without tidying up the house is definitely impossible for the little medicine apprentice to do, and because of this, the little medicine apprentice is deeply respected and favored by Dr. Liu.
Looking at the bed that had not yet been made again, Xiao Lizi couldn't help but feel a sinking in his heart: "Damn, it's really not Lao Tzu's surprise, this kid was also kidnapped by those people nine times out of ten!" Hiss...... How good is that! ”
"Don't think about it, maybe this kid is naughty and playful today! The twelve or thirteen-year-old boy is greedy for fun! ”
Although Xiao Lizi thought so in her heart, she still comforted Aunt Chen very indifferently.
"Hehehe...... That's what my son said, then our mother and son will have a good life here and so on! Oh yes! Did I see Xiwa when my son entered the city? Alas...... But I haven't been home for days, and it's so close to home......"
When Xiao Lizi heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and at this time, seeing that Aunt Chen was also worried, he thought of Old Doctor Liu and Chen Liangsi who were dying and struggling in Xiali Village.
"Aunt Chen......"
Xiao Lizi was red-eyed and wanted to speak.
"What's wrong with the plums? My son has something to say, as long as the old woman can help! ”
Xiao Lizi really wanted to inform Aunt Chen of the situation at this time, but reason made him swallow the words that had come to his mouth.
"No, I can't stay here anymore, I have to inform Uncle Zhang about Ping'er's disappearance! In case ......"
Thinking that Old Doctor Liu's only mantle was very likely to repeat the mistakes of Ah Fang, he couldn't help but panic in his heart, "Auntie, there is still something in the kid army, since Ping'er is not in that kid, I will leave first!" ”
As he spoke, Xiao Lizi hugged Ah Fang and was about to walk towards the outside of the house.
"Lizi, it's inconvenient for you to take Fang'er, or let Fang'er stay with the old woman!" Seeing this, Aunt Chen hurriedly grabbed Xiao Lizi and said.
Xiao Lizi shook his head when he heard this: "No, let's let Fang Er go to the camp with the boy, where is it safer, it just so happens that Doctor Xia is also there!" ”
Aunt Chen had no choice but to give up when she heard this: "Then I will be careful all the way, and if I meet Xiwazi at the city gate later, let him take the time to go home and have a look!" Alas...... I also blame the old woman for having a leg disease, alas......"
Xiao Lizi already had mixed tastes in her heart, and when she heard Aunt Chen say this, she remembered her mother and family. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Lizi's very resolute eyes turned red and moist.
Nodding solemnly to Aunt Chen, Xiao Lizi hugged Ah Fang and ran all the way along the road he came.
Not to mention that Xiao Lizi, who was dressed in military uniform, held a little girl with a blue nose and swollen face and ran all the way through the streets and alleys, once again aroused a group of people who did good things, and when he ran to the guard in front of him panting, an extremely rare handsome waist card was touched out of Xiao Lizi's arms.
"Huhu...... Fast? Prepare me a fast horse, quick! ”
Xiao Lizi hugged Ah Fang, took out the waist card hidden in his arms, and shouted to the soldiers on duty.
The soldiers on duty already knew Xiao Lizi, and at this time, when they saw him holding the general's waist card, they knew that the matter was very important. With a change of face, one of the soldiers trotted toward the nearest stable, and in a few moments a horse was led.
"Come, Fang'er!"
Xiao Lizi took the reins, and after saying to Ah Fang in his arms, he turned over and got on the horse with one arm. And Ah Fang, who was in his arms, was already sitting firmly in front of Xiao Lizi.
"Drive!"
Xiao Lizi didn't have time to greet Lao Zheng and them at this time, and impatiently whipped the horse's buttocks and then left......
