Chapter 2: Xiao Xiaoyu
Jiang He carefully looked at the house in front of him, to be precise, it was just a place made of thatch that could shelter from the wind, and the golden sunlight poured down from the loopholes in the thatch on the roof, and one of the beams hit Jiang He's face. The house was also poorly dressed, with only two futons except for the dilapidated wooden bed under him. Other than that, there is nothing else.
He remembered waking up in the morning and inexplicably going to a big mountain, and then on the way down the mountain, he seemed to have fallen into a hole and fainted, and then he woke up and was here.
What's going on? Is it a chain crossing? . . Looking at the clothes on his body, Jiang He looked confused, what kind of thing is this, a sack is much better than this, okay. A torn shirt that can see underwear, the lower body is only up to the knees, and the upper body is also cold. You don't have to look at the back to know that it's rotten. Can you break a little more? That's it for Africa's non-mainstream.
Jiang He rubbed his sore head and added dry cracked lips, he knew that he had a fever and was dizzy and couldn't exert his strength. Struggling to get up, he tried to find some water to drink.
At this time, the old wooden door creaked open and came in from the outside a delicate girl, who looked to be 14-15 years old, dressed in a linen dress, shabby but clean, and her thin face was yellowed due to long-term malnutrition, and her appearance was very delicate. A pair of bright eyes were looking at him with some surprise. Her long black hair is tied in a ponytail with a red rope that hangs down to her waist.
The girl looked at Jiang He with some excitement: "You finally woke up, you have slept all day." Oh yes. You must be thirsty. I'll go get you some water. After speaking, he ran out of the door without waiting for Jiang He to react.
The girl's surprised voice came from outside the door: "Grandpa, grandpa, the son you rescued from the mountain has woken up." Only Jiang He was left in a daze on the bed.
When I saw the girl's outfit and the childe Jiang He in her mouth, I knew that she must have run away. I just don't know where I wore it.
Is there still such a poor place in the real society? Africa is there, and there is not even a decent garment, a garment made of linen. And what the hell is this piece on him, African non-mainstream?
Judging from the girl's words just now, he understood that he was rescued by the girl's grandfather after falling into the hole. If it weren't for the girl's grandfather who rescued him from the cave, Jiang He would have frozen to death on the mountain even if he hadn't been drenched in the rain. The temperature in this world should be in autumn and almost winter, and it is really cold in the mountains.
Just when Jiang He was still thinking that he couldn't go back to modern society and couldn't see his parents, he was a little sad, and the dilapidated wooden door was pushed open again. An old man walked in, the old man was also dressed in linen, it looked like he hadn't washed for some days, and the old man's body was a little rickety. But it looks very spiritual, and the face is very charitable. The wrinkles on his face wrinkled with a smile, typical of an old peasant in ancient China.
The girl just now was behind the old man, looking at him curiously.
The old man walked up to Jiang He and said with a smile: "Little brother is really blessed to fall into the trap and drown for a long time, and the water is still angry." As he spoke, he sat at the head of the bed and helped Jiang He up, and took the decoction from the girl's hand to feed Jiang He.
"Little brother came to drink the medicine first, and he was talking about other things, you are not very sick now," the old man said with a kind smile.
"Thank you, uncle, I dare not forget the grace of saving my life, and I will repay you in the future." Jiang He said like the ancients in costume dramas.
The old man waved his hand and smiled: "The little old man is the Langzhong of these ten miles and eight villages, how can there be a reason not to save him when he sees death." ”
It turned out that the old man went up the mountain to collect medicine that day, and on the way back from the rain, he happened to meet Jiang He, who fell into the trap of hunting beasts dug by hunters, and carried him back.
Jiang He closed his eyes and was about to drink it all in one go, of course he knew that Chinese medicine was bitter. I didn't expect it to be so bitter, where did Jiang He, who grew up in modern society, drink such a bitter thing. I couldn't hold back halfway through the drink, and I squirted out with a sip of my cheeks. I gasped, and I just felt that my tongue was not my own.
Jiang He glanced at the old man with some embarrassment. He just threw up all over the house. The old man didn't say anything, just now when Jiang He was drinking medicine, the old man checked Jiang He's pulse. At this time, he was silent in thought, and his brows were tightly locked. The smile I had just now was gone.
The girl next to her saw that the old man looked wrong, and asked nervously, "Grandpa, how is this son's health?" ”
She thought that Jiang He vomited out the medicine because her body was not working.
The old man's expression was a little gloomy, he glanced at Jiang He hesitantly, opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
Jiang He knew at a glance that this old man could not cure this high fever, although Jiang He knew that ancient Chinese medicine was very magical, but many times tomorrow, the ancients usually felt that they had a fever, and any patient was gone.
He was also a little anxious, he just woke up and looked around the house, the original clothes were gone, and the plastic bag didn't know if the old man had seen it to help him get it back.
Although I don't know how many degrees he has a fever now, he can feel that it is almost 40 degrees, and his vision is a little blurry.
"Sir, I don't know if you've seen me, well, luggage." Jiang He asked a little weakly.
The old man nodded heavily: "Little brother's things, little old man will not take them for himself, don't worry." Say your last words! Little old man will help you send things back to your hometown. The old man sighed.
Jiang He was almost choked to death by the old man, this old man can't speak! Can Lao Tzu live for another 80 years?
The girl next to her also hurriedly said: "Childe, your luggage is wet from the rain, and it rained heavily yesterday and the sun didn't come out." Today, Xiaoyu helped you put your luggage outside and was drying, so I'll go and get it for you. With that, the girl Xiaoyu ran out.
Later, in a casual conversation with the old man, I learned that the old man's surname was Xiao and he had no big name. The people in the village call him Xiao Langzhong. The wife went early, and the eldest son and the younger son were both conscripted to fight and die on the battlefield a few years ago. The eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to Xiao Xiaoyu and fell ill not long after. The youngest son left before he got married.
The old Xiao family cut off the incense like this, and only the grandfather and grandson were left to live a difficult life in this world.
Jiang He sighed when he heard it, this was not good in ancient times, and he was fighting almost every year. is in a weak defense, and if you are awesome, you will hit others, and the saddest thing about fighting is the common people.
Jiang He also told his name, only saying that he had been single since he was a child, and now that he had traveled here, he wanted to go up the mountain to watch the sunrise, but he suddenly encountered heavy rain and accidentally fell into a trap.
It didn't take long for Xiao Xiaoyu to put the things hanging outside into a plastic bag, and then pushed the door in. Xiao Xiaoyu handed the plastic bag to Jiang He with some curiosity, she had never seen the contents of the plastic bag before, including this duffel bag, and she didn't know what it was made of. Such a thin layer, it is so strong, and it is so lightweight, you can't feel the weight in your hand at all.
Xiao Xiaoyu felt that it must be very valuable, and added the transparent plastic water cup like a crystal. Xiao Xiaoyu was even more sure of what he thought in his heart. Xiao Xiaoyu hadn't seen what the crystal looked like, but he just felt very tall. So when I fiddled with these things, I was careful for fear of breaking them.
Jiang He raised his hand to take the plastic bag with some effort, his body was quite relaxed when he first woke up, and as he woke up for longer and longer, Jiang He could obviously feel that his body was getting heavier and heavier.
Jiang He saw the little girl staring curiously at the bag in his hand, and naturally knew what the reason was.
Jiang He flipped through the plastic bag and saw the water cup move in his heart, this water cup was a rare object in ancient times. I guess I can exchange it for a lot of money.
So he took out the water cup without blushing and stuffed it into Xiao Langzhong's hand: "Uncle Xiao, you take this cup, go and be it another day, it's a little bit of my heart." ”
He also wanted to take some money out to repay others, but he looked very valuable except for this water cup. The penniless jingle of poverty. Modern medicine is priceless in this day and age, but who knows about it. Do you go to the street to sell: "Stretch your legs and stare at the eye pills, treat all kinds of incurable diseases, and women say it's good when they eat it." The man ate it at night, and it was even more delicious. ”
