Chapter 77: Praying for Healing
Don't worry, I'll send you there at noon. Jiang Cheng'er blamed herself.
"I can go to the school whenever I want, as long as my sister gets better quickly."
Jiang Cheng'er rarely gets sick, and she has a high fever in the cold, which can frighten Liu and Tao'er.
Liu Shi changed his mind and said: "Orange, you kept talking nonsense when you didn't wake up, curled up, as if you were frightened. Mother heard a knock on the door last night, did you go out and bump into something scary, and scared your soul. No, go to the village and ask the goddess to call you. ”
Jiang Cheng'er hurriedly refused: "Don't mind, don't mind, I don't believe that." Mother, I was caught by the wind and cold at night, so it's good to get rid of the fever. ”
Liu shook his head, noncommittal.
Jiang Cheng'er was sleepy, her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open them, she shrank in the quilt, and fell asleep in a daze.
Liu touched Orange's hot forehead, red cheeks, burned so badly, it would burn people out.
Liu was so anxious that he secretly invited the goddess.
The goddess tinkered in the house, and then in the courtyard, a great god jumped outside the gate, and finally left a rune, collected ten cents, and went away happily.
Jiang Cheng'er didn't know it, and when she opened her eyes again, Liu came over with a bowl to feed her.
Liu scooped a spoonful of soup, Jiang Cheng'er thought it was ginger soup, opened her mouth and was about to drink it, but inadvertently looked down at the bowl and was startled.
I saw a layer of black stuff floating in the hot water, as if something had burned to ashes.
Jiang Cheng'er felt nauseous in her throat and eyes, and she almost vomited.
Liu explained: "This is a magic rune, drinking it can drive away evil spirits and suppress it, and the disease will soon be cured, and the orange is obedient and will drink it soon." ”
"Mother, if you drink these dirty things, I'll be poisoned." Jiang Cheng'er smiled bitterly.
"Don't talk nonsense, don't be weird, don't blame, children don't understand." Liu's hands folded together and muttered, ordering Jiang Cheng'er to drink it.
The Liu family recognized that the rune was a good thing, and it could cure her daughter's illness, no matter what Jiang Cheng'er said, the Liu family was stunned and didn't listen.
Jiang Cheng'er covered her mouth, and Liu came up to pull Jiang Cheng'er's hand away, letting Tao'er grab her sister.
Tao'er was embarrassed, she didn't know whether to listen to her mother, or to help her sister refuse her mother, she hesitated and didn't move.
Liu wrapped Jiang Cheng'er's hands with the quilt, and she pressed the quilt with her hands and feet, insisting on pouring rune water into Jiang Cheng'er's mouth.
Jiang Cheng'er was sick and had no strength, she couldn't break free, and she was about to pour it into her mouth when she saw the disgusting dirty water.
At this time, Ping'er's voice suddenly came from outside: "Mother, eldest sister and second sister, Mr. Chu has come to our house." ”
Mr. Chu is here!
Liu put down the bowl first and went to greet the distinguished guests.
Jiang Cheng'er breathed a sigh of relief and was almost poisoned by her mother.
Peach's little face glowed red, and her heart was nervous.
Jiang Cheng'er looked at Tao'er and said, "Tao'er, I'm not feeling well and can't go out to meet guests, you can go and entertain Mr. Chu." ”
As soon as Tao'er went out, Liu pushed the door open.
"Orange, Mr. Chu heard that Ping'er said that you were sick, and he came to see you." Liu shouted happily.
"Miss Jiang, are you feeling better? Have you seen a doctor? Chu Yunfan was outside the door, hanging his head slightly, and asked with concern.
"Mr. Chu, you're not an outsider, go in and talk to Orange."
The Liu family identified Chu Yunfan, the future son-in-law, and he had the psychology of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at it, the happier she became. She didn't care about anything, and directly pushed Chu Yunfan into the bedroom.
"Mr. Chu, I'll go cook first, you stay here to eat at noon." Liu was very enthusiastic and did not forget to close the door.
Jiang Cheng'er couldn't cry or laugh, what happened to her mother today, she poured herself dirty water again, and messed up with the mandarin duck score.
Jiang Cheng'er wanted to keep a distance from Chu Yunfan as much as possible, but he was actually locked in a room and had close contact.
Hey, fortunately, she slept in her clothes, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.
Jiang Cheng'er thought to herself, when a distinguished guest comes to the cold house, lying down by herself is not a gift of hospitality.
She supported her body with her arms and tried to sit up, but she didn't have any strength at all.
"Miss Jiang, lie down quickly...... I'm fine, I'm just here...... Look at you. Chu Yunfan's expression was restrained, and he subconsciously raised his arm, wanting to help Jiang Cheng'er, but he felt that it was inappropriate.
If you want to help her, you have to go to the kang, and it is rude for him to enter the girl's boudoir as a big man, and then go to the girl's sleeping place and have physical contact with the girl, let alone go to the girl's physical contact.
Jiang Cheng'er moved slightly, her head began to dizzy again, and she had no choice but to lie down obediently.
"Mr. Chu, please sit down, bear with me if you are slack."
Speaking of sitting, Chu Yunfan was even more embarrassed, his handsome face as white as jade was flushed with a touch of carmine, there were no stools and chairs in the room, so he could only sit on the edge of the kang.
He shook his head and said that he was not tired, and he just moved his legs and feet while standing.
Chu Yunfan's impression of Jiang Cheng'er was lively and cheerful, and her voice was loud and crisp, and today she suddenly heard her weak and soft voice, which was particularly pitiful.
Looking at her red cheeks, Chu Yunfan was calm and calm, and said anxiously, "Miss Jiang, do you still have a fever?" Have you drunk the medicine? If you don't ask for a doctor, I'll help you get cured quickly. ”
"The doctor didn't invite me, my mother invited a goddess to let me drink rune water. You see, it's the bowl on the edge of the kang. Jiang Cheng'er poured out with a slightly wry smile.
Chu Yunfan tilted his head to look at the black paper ash in the bowl, and said in surprise: "This ...... How can it be cured, drinking it will only make people sick! Miss Jiang, you, have you drunk? ”
Jiang Cheng'er secretly praised that Mr. Chu is a scholar of Mingrui and is not ignorant in his thinking.
"No, when my mother was about to pour me drink, you happened to come and helped me a lot, thank you!" Jiang Cheng'er smiled slightly.
"It's good that I haven't drunk it, so I'll go and get a doctor." Chu Yunfan breathed a sigh of relief and poured out the rune water with his hand.
"Mr. Chu, don't bother, my body is resistant, just drink a few bowls of ginger soup." Jiang Cheng'er hurriedly stopped it, and said, "Mr. Chu, I have something else to ask you." ”
"Miss Jiang can do whatever I want, even if I have something to do." Chu Yunfan said without hesitation.
His expression was extremely serious, as if he was pouring out his heart, and like a promise to Jiang Cheng'er.
Jiang Cheng'er's heart warmed, she was not his person, how could she afford this heart-warming affection.
"Mr. accepted Ping'er's kindness in the hall, the little woman remembered it, and once Mr. had an order, the little woman did not give up." Jiang Cheng'er replied with almost the same weight, and politely called him "sir", which invisibly opened up the relationship with him.
She continued, "I have to trouble Mr. today, my second sister Jiang Taoer also wants to study with you, I don't know if there are any empty seats in the school, it is estimated that it is overcrowded." ”
"Yes, I can add another seat, although let Sister Ling come over, it is a beautiful thing for the two sisters to study together." Chu Yunfan readily agreed.
Jiang Cheng'er smiled, touched the white schoolbag from the side of the pillow, and handed it to Chu Yunfan.
"This is a tool I sewed for my husband that can wrap books, paper and pencils, referred to as a school bag, and I hope that Mr. will not dislike my rough needlework."
Chu Yunfan looked at this novel object curiously, and couldn't help but praise: "Schoolbag...... It feels very practical, the name is vivid and vivid, it was designed and named by Miss Jiang herself. ”
Jiang Cheng'er Khan, ashamed, it's really not her, but she can't explain it.
Chu Yunfan looked at the delicate and beautiful embroidery on the schoolbag, and the words on one side were, there will be times when the wind and waves will be long; On the other hand, it is straight to the clouds and sails into the sea.
He read it slowly twice, and his heartstrings shook.
Miss Jiang's poems are majestic, far-reaching, and contain his name, which is cleverly conceived and amazing.
Miss Jiang's talent made him sigh to himself and deeply admire it.
He fell into the love of his children, but she was ambitious and encouraged him to be positive with poetry.
It's because he is too narrow-minded, and in the future, he must work hard, gain fame, and achieve a career, so as to be worthy of this good girl with Lan Xinhui.
Chu Yunfan felt refreshed, he clasped his hands into fists, and respectfully saluted Jiang Cheng'er, thanking her for her encouragement.
Jiang Cheng'er insisted that he didn't need to invite a doctor, and he refused to stay for dinner, unwilling to cause trouble to them.
Chu Yunfan couldn't put it down, hugged his schoolbag, said goodbye to Jiang Cheng'er and went back, and read hard and inspirationally.
In the afternoon, Peach and Ping'er, each carrying a new school bag, happily went to the school together.
Before leaving, Jiang Cheng'er meaningfully instructed Tao'er to concentrate on studying, and only by standing on a higher place can she see more beautiful scenery. Only when you are good enough can you master your life and attract the attention of others.
Tao'er nodded with a red face, and seemed to understand the deep meaning of her sister's words.
During the day, Jiang Cheng'er's health was slightly better, but at night she had a high fever, talking in a daze, waving and shouting in horror, looking like she was shocked.
Liu thought that his daughter refused to drink rune water during the day, and said disrespectful words to the gods, and was punished.
Liu knelt on the kang all night, begging the gods not to blame his daughter and bless her daughter to get better soon.
The next morning, Jiang Cheng'er's high fever did not subside, and Liu went to ask the goddess for a magic rune, and boiled water to pour Jiang Cheng'er to drink.
Fortunately, Zhao Sanpo came over in time to stop the Liu family, in fact, Zhao Sanpo also felt that the rune water could cure diseases, but she was more willing to respect Jiang Cheng'er's choice.
In her mind, her boss Jiang Cheng'er is smart and has her own opinions, and what Jiang Cheng'er is unwilling to do cannot be forced.
Zhao Sanpo persuaded the Liu family to ask for a doctor, scared off the soul, and the goddess also called the soul, plus drinking medicine, the two-pronged approach will have a faster effect.
The Liu family felt that this was the reason, so they agreed, and were just about to go to the neighboring village, when the doctor invited by Chu Yunfan happened to enter the door.
After Zhao Sanpo obtained the consent of the Liu family, she took the soap that Jiang Cheng'er had made before, went to another village and sold it for forty yuan, and handed over the two hundred yuan exchanged for a lot to the Liu family, and kept it on behalf of Jiang Cheng'er.
Edamame came to fetch water for Jiang Cheng'er's house, and when he learned that Jiang Cheng'er was sick, he was anxious outside the door, praying that Jiang Cheng'er would recover quickly and that good people would be rewarded.
