Chapter 20: The Way of the World

Pei He poured a basin of water on Xia Yuxi's body, smiled proudly, and just turned his head, Su Qiqiao directly slapped him completely stunned, and he didn't react for a long time.

"You dare to hit me!" Pei He stretched out his hand, touched half of his red face, stared at Su Qiqiao in disbelief, as if he had suffered some great shame, his anger rose, and he smashed Su Qiqiao's face with a fierce punch!

Su Qiqiao's face was cold, and she was about to make a move to resist, when a figure appeared in front of her in an instant.

"Stop!" Zhao Ping's face was angry, and he slammed fist to fist on Pei He's body.

"Whew!" Pei He's body was in pain, his teeth flashed to the side, he didn't give up, and was about to punch over, the moment his eyes met Zhao Ping's cold gaze, a trace of timidity flashed in his eyes, looking at Xia Yuxi, who was drenched and shrunk in the corner of the wall, he snorted coldly and took his two little brothers away.

"Rain!" Su Qiqiao couldn't care so much, so she quickly threw away the wet bedding on Xia Yuxi's body and covered her with her own futon.

"I'm going to get a clean set of clothes." Zhao Ping saw Su Qiqiao's panic, threw down a sentence and ran away.

Su Qiqiao didn't say a word, looked at Xia Yuxi, who closed her eyes tightly and trembled all over, took out the close-fitting meat bun, and put it into her arms, her eyes were red, "I'm sorry, Yuxi, it's me who has troubled you......"

If it weren't for her, I'm afraid that Xia Yuxi wouldn't be like this today, she should have eaten the meat buns she bought for her, wore the purse embroidered by Grandma Wang, and had an ordinary and happy birthday......

"It's okay...... It's almost as if I'm even bothering you, I heard that Mrs. Wang deliberately embarrassed you, all because of me...... Moreover, even if I don't have today, I won't live long......" Xia Yuxi's voice became lower and lower, and in the end, even Su Qiqiao couldn't hear it clearly.

"Here comes the clothes!" Zhao Ping hurriedly rushed into the house, holding an ordinary coarse linen robe, his body was covered with rain, but the clothes in his hand were only wet, and handed it to Su Qiqiao.

"I don't have any girls' clothes over there, only this, let's put them on first." Zhao Ping shook the rain off his hair, panted, and then left the room with a sense of humor.

"Thank you." Su Qiqiao nodded at him gratefully, and hurriedly worked with Xiaolian next to him, and the two of them worked together to change the torn clothes on Xia Yuxi's body, put on this clean coarse cloth clothes for her, and then pulled Xiaolian's futon over and covered Xia Yuxi's body.

Su Qiqiao was not at ease, and touched her forehead again, and panicked instantly.

Heat, heat at your fingertips.

Xiaolian saw Su Qiqiao's strange appearance, and also cautiously stretched out her hand, touched it, and directly retracted her hand in fright, with a panicked face.

"Yuxi she, as if she has a high fever......"

With a "boom", a shocking thunder sounded across the sky, and between the dark clouds, lightning fell, shining the miserable white faces of the two people in the room, and then the whole room fell into darkness.

"Woo woo, what should I do now, it's all my fault, I didn't stop Pei Xiaofeng's bastard......" Xiaolian covered her mouth and cried so much that her eyes were red.

"It's not your fault, not to mention that if you hadn't delayed them, I'm afraid that Yuxi would have suffered even more." Su Qiqiao covered his heart and forced himself to calm down, "The best way now is to feed Yuxi a bowl of soup and medicine and see if you can reduce the fever." ”

"That'...... Do you have any money? Xiaolian stopped crying, reacted suddenly, and then felt out two copper plates from her underwear, "I only have so much." ”

"Thank you." Su Qiqiao was stunned for a moment, took the copper plate, picked up the oil-paper umbrella that Wang Qingyun gave her, and without saying a word, she went out directly.

"Sister Qiaoqiao!" Xiaolian was startled, looking at the pouring rain in the sky, and Su Qiqiao's vague figure in the rain, she couldn't help but shiver, quickly closed the door, and gasped.

……

Su Qiqiao held an oil-paper umbrella, holding the ****, where the broken shoes stepped on, splashes of water splashed out side by side, soaking her all over.

Beitian Sanatorium.

Su Qiqiao walked up the steps weakly, knocked on the iron ring on the door hard, shrunk back, and his voice was inaudible in the storm, "Doctor, is there anyone?" ”

The knock on the door continued for a moment, and a shopkeeper with a full face and a large body opened the door, and when he saw Su Qiqiao dressed in tatters, he looked impatient and prepared to close the door.

"Doctor, wait a minute." Su Qiqiao hurriedly pulled the door, took out six copper plates from his clothes with trembling hands, and his thin body trembled violently in the storm, "Doctor, my friend has a high fever, please, can you prescribe me a fever-reducing medicine......"

The shopkeeper pursed his lips, glanced at it casually, and was immediately happy, "You little beggar is holding six copper plates to buy medicine to tease me?" Stop daydreaming, it can't be!"

After that, the shopkeeper looked impatient and prepared to close the door.

"Wait a minute! If the money is not enough, I have a ...... of silver" Su Qiqiao shivered, took out a small piece of broken silver from his underwear, and his lips were white from the cold, "Is one broken silver enough?" ”

"That's all it takes!" The shopkeeper was quite happy when he saw a silver light in her hand, but when he saw that it was a small piece of broken silver, he was immediately annoyed and yelled at her, "Impossible, let me tell you, this is the best medical clinic in the town, don't say that you have a broken silver, ten broken silver is not enough for the consultation fee, you better hurry up!"

A thunderclap swept through, shining Su Qiqiao's miserable face, her eyes stared, pointed to a banner hanging on the wall inside the door, and said in a trembling voice, "I hope there is no suffering in the world, I would rather put medicine on the shelf...... Are you so ruthless!"

"Yohe, you still dare to threaten me?" The shopkeeper glanced at it, turned his head and stared wide-eyed.

"No, that's not what I meant, I mean, can you let me owe it first, and I'll pay it back to you then, really, I swear!" Su Qiqiao hurriedly shook his head, tears overflowing his eyes, "I will definitely give you double the money for the medicine then, please." ”

"Hmph, let me tell you, the banner is written like that, but it also has to divide people, my place is not a cat or a dog can come here, and I am the shopkeeper I have the final say, you know each other and take your broken bowl and get out quickly, don't be embarrassed here!"

The shopkeeper snorted coldly and slammed the door shut without hesitation.

Su Qiqiao's face was pale, and he didn't notice that his clothes were soaked by the wind and rain, raised his head, looked at the plaque of the Beitian Nursing Workshop, paused, his eyes were red, he smiled miserably, and resolutely ran away with an umbrella.

Su Qiqiao faced the violent storm, laughing and crying along the way, she couldn't complain about anyone, the world is like this.
