Chapter 32 In the sedan chair
Qi Fang was originally standing outside the gate of the Kong family, but now that he saw that Dr. Kong went in person, his face was much more relaxed than just now.
"Doctor Kong, you are sick and still let you go, there is really no way."
"It doesn't matter."
Qingzhi, who followed Qi Fang and walked all the way to Lu Mansion, couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
Every time I took a step forward, I wanted to turn around and go back, but I had to keep walking.
When he arrived at the gate of the Lu Mansion, he saw that an extended carriage for travel had stopped at the gate of the Lu Mansion, and the groom Wang Lu was waiting on a brown horse.
There were two brown horses in the back, but no one was seen on the horse.
I only heard Qi Fang say: "Doctor Kong, please get on the sedan chair." ”
Qingzhi glanced at the sedan chair, and said in his heart, if he went up, wouldn't he have to sit in the same sedan chair as Lu Shikang? Deep down, she refused, and said, "I'd better ride my own horse." Isn't there two horses? ”
Qi Fang said: "That horse was ridden by me and Wu Shan, if Dr. Kong doesn't mind, you can ...... it."
Yes, it's impossible not to mind.
Compared to walking with them, she would rather get into a sedan chair.
Qingzhi got on the sedan chair, and remembered that he also had horses at home, and if he went back to ride a horse, it shouldn't take much time, but when he thought that his third sister had to use the carriage to go in and out every day, and his family only raised two horses, and the other horse was ridden by his father to practice medicine.
After sitting in the sedan chair, I looked around at the sedan chair and saw that the sedan chair was about six feet wide and about ten feet long. The interior is luxuriously decorated, there are half-reclining benches on the left, and there are two low chairs on the right that can be sat on, thinking that the semi-reclining bench is used by Lu Shikang, behind the bench, near the back window of the car, there are a large box and several small boxes side by side. I think it's Lu Shikang and the luggage of others.
So she sat down on one of the low chairs, put the medicine box and package in her hand in the back corner, took out the medical book from the medicine box, and began to read it.
As I was reading, I heard someone outside, "Be careful on the road." She could tell it was Mrs. Lu's voice.
I only heard Mrs. Lu's voice Yu Shi said: "Come back after a few days of fun there, don't stay long." ”
Then she listened to Lu Shikang again.
Then the curtain of his sedan chair was lifted, and a white boot stepped on the edge of the sedan chair, and then, a long leg also stepped up.
She quickly lowered her head and continued to read her medical book.
Of course, it's just a matter of keeping your eyes on the book.
The afterglow of his eyes felt that when he came up, he was half-lying on the chaise longue beside him.
The sedan curtain was opened again, and she heard Mrs. Lu's words saying, "Doctor Kong, I'm sorry that you let you accompany you on the trip today when you were sick, it's really because your family has only been studying for a few years......
Qingzhi hurriedly raised his head, squeezed out a smile at Mrs. Lu and said, "Mrs. Lu doesn't have to mind, I just happen to be able to go out for a walk, staying in Jiangbei City all day, and I also feel a little bored." ”
"Then you will go."
Mrs. Lu lowered the sedan curtain and the carriage began to move forward.
Aoeda heard the sound of two horses behind him "da-da", and also followed the carriage forward.
In the sedan chair, she was worried that Lu Shikang would make any more jokes, but she didn't think about him but didn't say anything, she was silent, just half lying on his recliner.
The sedan chair is not fast, it is steady, it seems that the horseman Wang Lu is worried about Lu Shikang's injury, so he plans to walk steadily as the first priority.
There was a hint of embarrassment and ambiguity in the atmosphere in the sedan car, and she turned her head to look out of the sedan window on her right.
Although she was not yet fully familiar with Jiangbei City, she was very familiar with the road she was walking now, because she had wandered around here for days pretending to be a little groom.
The carriage went further, and it arrived at the place where she acted that day, Liuzuo Lane.
The willow trees on both sides of the alley are still smoky blue at this time, the breeze blows, and the willow silk flutters, making the alley like smoke and fog.
The carriage passed the sparsely populated Liuzuo Lane, and then walked forward, and arrived at Decai Street, where the number of people suddenly increased, and the sound of selling on the street was endless.
Compared with the overly lively and noisy outside the car, the inside of the car is surprisingly quiet.
He said very little today, but he surprised her.
Looking back at the medical book from the car window, I felt that he was by my side, and the scene of looking at him when I was going down the stairs in Wangjiang Tower that day broke into my mind for no reason.
When I read the book again, I couldn't read a word.
The carriage traveled leisurely, and in a short time it was out of the city.
She looked out the window again, and saw that the suburbs were beautiful.
Some of the fleeting scenery seems to be somewhat familiar, but when you think about it, you don't remember whether you have been here before.
The villages along the way are always somewhat similar, with low houses and low courtyard gates, and the farmers are each holding their own farming tools, or working in the fields, or walking on the road, and occasionally children running freely in the fields.
Their shouts were particularly lively.
The sedan was surprisingly quiet.
She only remembered now that he didn't seem to have said a word to herself since she got into the sedan chair. Not even a polite word.
It's better that way, and the wariness of him can slowly disappear.
Originally, she was worried that if he brought up the old matter again, she didn't know how to respond.
I lowered my head and continued to look at the thick medical book in my hand, and this time I really read it.
At some point, she felt the sound of pages turning beside her, so she glanced over there, but did not look at him, but saw with the rest of his eyes, and he seemed to find a book out of nowhere.
In her mind, he and books are two things that are completely incompatible.
After a long time, when it was time to eat, she preferred to sit at the table farthest from him, and he did not deliberately come close to her, but sat with some of his little servants, and talked about the destination of the trip, and where to go next.
From their conversation, she could tell that the destination was originally a mountain house that Lu Shikang's grandfather had bought before, and now it is under the name of the Lu Governor's Mansion, which is where the Lu family lived when they occasionally went out, and most of the time, it was uninhabited.
Listening to their conversation about Qi County, she guessed that the mountain house must be located in Qi County.
In Wu Shan's yearning words, she knew that Naqi County was a good place to visit the mountains and rivers, and it was also a good place to cultivate her body.
It's no wonder that the people of the Lu Mansion went to let him go there to recuperate, it turned out that the Lu family still had such a residence.
However, in her opinion, in order to heal such an arrow wound on the shoulder, it is too much to travel hundreds of miles.
She couldn't understand such a way as a rich man.
Anyway, if someone in her family is injured, it must be at home to recuperate.
After a leisurely day, we were only halfway through the trip, and in the evening, the inn where we stayed was located at the foot of a mountain.
Looking out of the inn's window, the scenery is also beautiful.
After the meal, he changed the dressing, and a few people were present, but Lu Shikang didn't say a word to himself.
After changing the dressing, she returned to her room, and before falling asleep, she asked herself in her heart:
This Lu Shikang didn't say a word to himself, what does it mean?
Or, because there are other people present, some things are inconvenient to say?
Or was it just a whim on his part, and now the tide had receded less than two days later?
Surprised to realize that he was actually guessing his thoughts, Qingzhi suddenly hated himself a little.
