Chapter 21: Rebirth

Su Qiqiao kept walking all the way, looked at the plaque of Fushengtang in front of him, patted the door vigorously, and shouted hoarsely, "Open the door, open the door quickly!"

"Squeak", a young man in the store just pushed the door open, and was also startled when he saw Su Qiqiao's appearance, "Girl...... What are you? ”

"Who? Xiao Mu? An old voice rang out.

"Grandpa, it's a little beggar, it seems to be sheltering from the rain." The young man named Xiao Mu said.

"Let her go, the street is not a place without shelter from the rain."

"Okay." Xiao Mu nodded, and was about to pull the door open, who knew that Su Qiqiao directly put his hand in, he didn't have time to react, and directly clamped her hand!

"Don't close the door!" Su Qiqiao gritted his teeth, tears mixed with rain dripping down.

"Ahh Xiao Mu was startled, and quickly opened the door and let Su Qiqiao enter the house.

"Doctor, my friend has a high fever, hurry up, give her a pair of medicines." Su Qiqiao wore a cloak of hair, and regardless of the red marks on his fingers, he put all the broken silver and copper plates on the counter, his face was pale, "Please......"

"Good, good." When the old man saw her like this, he was also shocked, sat up, lit the candle, and directly began to dispense the medicine, "Little girl, I don't think it's easy for you, let's fry the medicine here directly." ”

"Thank you." Su Qiqiao was so tired that his whole body was weak, and he collapsed next to the medicine cabinet, his eyes closed, panting.

The old man nodded, with the medicine in his hand, and said without raising his head, "Xiao Mu, go and boil the potion first." ”

"Oh, good." Xiao Mu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ran to the medicine furnace to get busy.

After a while, the old man poured the decocted medicinal soup into a small bamboo tube and handed it to Su Qiqiao, "I still have a high fever in this weather, I'm afraid that your friend won't be better, and my little medical hall doesn't have much fame, you ...... Let's take it easy. ”

After that, the old man gave her the broken silver, "I won't pit you, six copper plates are enough, hurry up and go back, this matter can't be delayed." ”

"Good...... Thank you. Su Qiqiao took the bamboo tube, his face was full of gratitude, and he rushed into the heavy rain.

The young man named Xiao Mu looked at Su Qiqiao's back in the wind and rain, his eyelids jumped, and he turned his head to look at the old man, "Grandpa, is she really okay like this?" The rain is so heavy, I'm afraid ......"

"Okay, everyone has their own life, we have done our best, let's see her creation." The old man shook his head and sighed.

Su Qiqiao held an oil-paper umbrella, did not dare to slack off for a moment, the pace was fast, let the water splash all over his body, his legs were numb as if he had lost consciousness, I don't know how long he walked, he stumbled under his feet, tripped a stone, and fell into the rain.

"Ahh Before Su Qiqiao could react, the oil-paper umbrella was blown away directly with the strong wind, flew for a while, and was punctured by a tree branch and hung upside down.

Su Qiqiao got up, he couldn't care so much, he touched the rain on his face, his whole body was shivering from the cold, and he was about to continue walking, when the soles of his feet were weak, and he fell backwards.

"Begging!" Suddenly, Su Qiqiao hadn't fallen down yet, and was helped by a person in time, and when he raised his eyes, he realized that this person was Zhao Ping.

Zhao Ping was holding an umbrella, and when he saw her like this, he was so distressed that he grabbed her and carried her on his back without saying anything.

"Zhao Ping, ...... you" Su Qiqiao looked startled, and wanted to struggle down.

"Okay, you can't go at all like this, if you want to go back quickly to save Xia Yuxi, let me carry you. Remember to stop me. Zhao Ping turned his head sideways, held an umbrella in one hand, carried Su Qiqiao on his back, and quickly rushed into the rain......

Under the thunder and lightning, the wind and rain are combined, and in the blurred night, a vigorous figure can be vaguely seen, rushing in the storm......

In the firewood room, Xia Yuxi was lying on the pile of firewood, covered with a layer of broken quilt, shaking her body and trembling constantly.

Xiaolian rubbed her hands, was so anxious that she paced back and forth in the firewood room, looked at the rain leaking in through the window, and quickly took a few pieces of firewood and blocked it again, cold and afraid.

"Bang!" The door of the firewood room was pushed open, and Zhao Ping put Su Qiqiao down, and his hair was drenched.

"Sister Qiaoqiao!" Xiaolian looked overjoyed, but when she saw Su Qiqiao's appearance of not being a human or a ghost, she was really frightened and hurriedly ran over.

Su Qiqiao didn't say a word, touched some warm bamboo tubes, tried the temperature, and quickly poured it into Xia Yuxi's mouth, and after a long time, let her drink a small half.

"What's going on? Aren't you in the house? Why did you come to the firewood room? Zhao Ping shook off the raindrops on his hair, he had just run to the house with Su Qiqiao, only to find that Xiaolian and Xia Yuxi were not there, and they were told that they were staying in the firewood room, so he hurriedly ran over.

Xiaolian's face was pale, she rubbed her hands, her voice trembled and weak, "The eldest mother said that she had a high fever and could not pass it on to others, and she occupied so many bedding by herself, so the eldest mother threw us a broken quilt and let us come to the firewood room." ”

"That's not going to work, I'll talk about it." Zhao Ping turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute." Su Qiqiao listened, put away the bamboo tube, and turned around, "No need Zhao Ping, you have already helped us a lot, and it is difficult to change what Mrs. Wang decides, even if Mrs. Wang really agrees, the other little beggars are not happy, and they will work together to reject us, so be it." ”

Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, and nodded again and again, "Yes, Brother Zhao, you are drenched in the rain, hurry up and go back to change your clothes." ”

“…… I'll go back as soon as I go. Zhao Ping walked out, and it didn't take long for him to come over with a set of clean clothes, "Beggar Qiao, put it on quickly, otherwise you will fall, who will take care of her?" ”

"Thank you......" Su Qiqiao held back his tears, shrunk back in the firewood stack, changed the soaked rags, and put on this loose coarse cloth clothes, and suddenly felt less cold.

"Go back to sleep, I'll be alone here." Su Qiqiao looked at the two of them.

"Okay, remember to find me if you have something." Zhao Ping knew that it was not appropriate for him to stay here, so he nodded and left.

"Sister Qiqiao, you...... Take care. Xiaolian looked reluctant, and glanced at the unconscious Xia Yuxi worriedly.

"Well, Xiaolian has worked hard for you, go back to sleep." Su Qiqiao barely showed a smile, and when Xiaolian was final, she closed the door and sat down with a dejected face.

"Qiqiao ......" In the blur, Xia Yuxi opened his eyes groggily and muttered.

"Yuxi, how are you?" Su Qiqiao was startled, walked over and touched her forehead, it was still hot.

"Yuxi, do you think that if I really live, I will successfully restore the country with my father's trust and save my relatives?" Xia Yuxi's voice was low, and his whole body exuded a breath of death, and he muttered.

"Yes, why not?" Su Qiqiao panicked and hurriedly poured the potion in the bamboo tube into her mouth.

"No, no......" Xia Yuxi only felt a bitter taste penetrate his tongue, frowned, and pushed away the bamboo tube, "I can't do it, after so many years, I'm still a broken beggar, let alone recovering the country, I can't even fight for my freedom......"

"Ahem......" Xia Yuxi said, coughing up a trace of black blood at the corner of his mouth, "It's useless, if I can, I hope that if I die, if I can come back to life, I will definitely not live so decadently......"

Su Qiqiao was so frightened that she wiped the blood stains from the corners of her mouth with her sleeve, her eyes were sour, "Even if you can't, don't you still have me?" Don't die, if you really die, I will assume your identity, and when I return to the country, I will be the real princess of the Hazy Moon Kingdom, and no one will remember you......"

“…… Haha, that's fine. Xia Yuxi showed a smile, tears crossed her eyes, and she couldn't say a word, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep......

The sky thundered incessantly, and the violent torrential rain poured down, as if washing away all the filth in the world......

I don't know how long it took, the rainstorm stopped, and a bright light appeared in the sky, Su Qiqiao shook his fingers, opened his eyes in a daze, and suddenly was startled, seeing the summer rain tide that seemed to be sleeping, his heart jumped, and he touched it with trembling hands.

"Yuxi ......" Su Qiqiao's eyes widened, feeling the coldness in his hands, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak......

The cold, the biting cold, passed from Xia Yuxi's forehead to the palm of her hand.

"Woo woo......" Su Qiqiao suppressed his crying, covered his mouth and cried.

"Silk ......" Suddenly, a subtle voice sounded, Su Qiqiao raised his head, the fine sunlight fell, and Xia Yuxi's fingers trembled......

The warm sunlight mixed with the warm breeze came quietly, gently sliding down on Xia Yuxi's open eyes, crystal clear......
