The sky was bright, the night was slowly fading, and the dawn sun was slowly rising and shining on the earth.

Lin Xiaodao smelled the fragrance of rice, swallowed a sliva and asked Shen'er: "Sister, can you still eat rice and cakes every day when you are in a hurry?" ”

It's such a luxury.

Shen'er hummed and said, "The girl said that you have to eat better in a hurry, otherwise you won't have the strength." ”

The hard work of the road is secondary, mainly because it is more chaotic now. Eat well and have physical strength, and you are not afraid of bandits.

Yi An rinsed his mouth and called Lin Xiaodao over: "I heard that you know martial arts, let's try it." ”

Lin Xiaodao looked at Qingshu when he heard this, and only when he saw her nodding did he agree.

Lin Xiaodao wanted not to let Yi An lose too ugly, so he released the water. As a result, he was knocked to the ground by Yi An.

Looking at Lin Xiaodao, who was lying on the ground in a daze, Yi An said and warned: "Remember, when facing the enemy, even if you are only a three-year-old child, you can't take it lightly. Otherwise, you risk losing your life. ”

Lin Xiaodao came back to his senses after half a ring, and asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you, who are you?" ”

Because of her talent in martial arts, Lin Xiaodao is often praised by others, so that she is very confident in her martial arts. Unexpectedly, today I was defeated by a peer.

Although there was an element of underestimating the enemy just now, Lin Xiaodao knew very well that she was not Yi An's opponent.

Qingshu pointed at Wu Yi'an and said, "She is the eldest lady of the Zhenguo Mansion. As for me, I am a girl from the Lin family in Taohua Village, Taifeng County. ”

Hearing this introduction, Lin Xiaodao asked puzzledly, "What is your relationship?" ”

What I want to say is that the two of them really belong to people who can't beat each other, and now they are as good as sisters.

Wu Yi'an said with a wicked taste: "She is my personal maid." ”

Not to be outdone, Lin Xiaodao said: "If you want to say that you are the girl's personal female guard, it is more convincing." ”

She is neither blind nor deaf, these people present all call Qingshu a girl and have a very respectful attitude, not to mention that Qingshu does not behave like a maid.

Qing Shu pursed her lips and smiled: "You, the eldest girl of the Zhenguo Mansion, are too imposing. ”

Yi Anunu said with disdain: "She is blind. ”

She is so wise and martial that she can be regarded as a personal female guard, and this eye is equal to nothing.

Qingshu smiled and said, "I am a classmate with her, and we study together in Wenhuatang. ”

Lin Xiaodao suddenly said that there must be a reason why the two can be as close as sisters: "Don't blame the girl for being bookish." Girl, why don't you go back to Beijing to study in Wenhuatang? This is the opposite of the direction to the capital. ”

Qingshu smiled: "My mother and grandmother are in Fuzhou, I will go to see them first, and then take a boat back to Beijing." ”

At breakfast, Qingshu and Lin Xiaodao said: "Your brother is young and has a delicate spleen and stomach, let him drink porridge for the time being in the past two days!" ”

"Thank you, girl."

After eating, packing up their things, the group set off again. Thinking that Lin Xiaojian was young, Qingshu arranged the two sisters and brothers in the carriage where the grain was placed.

Lin Xiaojian touched the bag under his buttocks and asked, "Sister, are so many bags full of food?" ”

Lin Xiaodao said with a smile: "Well, it's all food, and it's filled with rice and white noodles." ”

Lin Xiaojian's eyes were shining: "Sister, is that why we don't have to go hungry anymore?" ”

Holding him in his arms, Lin Xiaodao said softly: "Well, I won't be hungry again in the future." ”

Father Lin raised Lin Xiaodao as a boy since she was a child, and she also came into contact with all kinds of people. In terms of Qingshu's ability, she felt that she didn't have to worry about food and clothing with Qingshu's sister and brother.

In the middle of the night, Qingshu and Wu Yi'an were awakened by Lin Xiaodao again.

Shen'er and Qingshu said: "Girl, Xiaojian's child has a fever, and he is unconscious. ”

When I entered the tent, I saw Lin Xiaodao hugging Lin Xiaojian tightly, and kept muttering about Xiaojian to wake up.

Qingshu stepped forward and touched Lin Xiaojian's forehead, which was hot: "Mo Se, Mo Xue, you go out to boil two pots of hot water." A pot is boiled to drink, and a pot is rubbed for him. ”

I found a fever-reducing pill in the medicine box, pinched half of it and fed it to Lin Xiaojian in warm boiled water.

I fetched a basin of boiling water, and put a towel in it to soak. took a half-dried towel and wiped Lin Xiaojian's limbs, chest and back, and armpits.

Qingshu and Lin Xiaodao said: "You wipe him according to what I did until the high fever subsides." By the way, be sure to use boiling water, and feed him plenty of water. ”

Back in the carriage, Wu Yi'an asked, "Don't we have a medicine to dispel wind and cold?" Just boil it for him to eat. ”

Qingshu was very tired: "You also know that it is a medicine to dissipate wind and cold, and I don't know if it is a fever caused by wind chill or wind heat." It doesn't hurt much if an adult takes the wrong medicine, but Lin Xiaojian is only two years old. If you eat the wrong one, you'll die. ”

Wu Yi'an didn't speak.

Qingshu was too tired to toss for so long, and fell asleep after lying down for a while.

After waking up, she heard that Lin Xiaojian's fever had subsided: "The child's fever is repeated and cannot be taken lightly, we have to rush to the county seat as soon as possible to ask the doctor to show him." ”

Uncle Yan said: "There is a small town more than 100 miles away, and there should be a doctor. ”

"If there is a town, it is definitely not far from the county seat. If Lin Xiaojian's condition is not serious by then, it is safer to go to the county seat to find a doctor. ”

Thinking that Lin Xiaojian's body was weak, Qingshu gave up the carriage he was sitting in to the two sisters and brothers. She and Yi An went to sit in the carriage behind.

The group rushed to the county seat at noon, and then found the most famous local doctor.

After checking the pulse, the doctor checked his body, and then prescribed a pair of medicines: "Take one pair first, and then come back after eating." For these two days, try to give him light and nutritious food. ”

The consultation fee is not expensive, only 200 yuan, but this medicine is ridiculously expensive, and a pack of medicine costs two taels of silver.

Wu Yi'an said: "Qingshu, the food and medicinal materials donated by Grandma Gu are going to be sold for tens of millions of silver." ”

Qingshu smiled: "If it's really sold, will you still go to Fuzhou with me?" ”

That's definitely not going to happen.

Qingshu spread his hands and said: "That kind of money is hot to hold, and you can't spend it if you have a life." ”

"I'm just kidding, you're serious."

Lin Xiaojian should not travel long distances to recuperate. Qingshu thought that it would be better to rest for a few days after such a long journey, so he rented a house to live in.

The little ones are well taken care of and will soon be fine. In only three days, Lin Xiaojian was alive and kicking.

Lin Xiaodao knelt in front of Qing Shu and said, "From today on, my life is a girl's." No matter what the girl asks me to do, even if it is a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, I will not hesitate to do it. ”

She knew very well that if she hadn't been relieved that night, Lin Xiaojian would definitely die.

Qingshu glanced at her and asked Shen'er to take pen and ink. Writing down two contracts, Qingshu said: "If you are willing, sign your brother and sister's names on them and put their fingerprints on them." ”

Lin Xiaodao didn't hesitate at all, got up and wrote his name and Lin Xiaojian's name, and then both of them pressed their handprints.

Qingshu put away the two identity deeds and said, "Don't worry, I never treat my own people badly." ”

Lin Xiaodao smiled and said, "I know." ”
