Chapter 14: The Root of the Disease
It was night, it was drizzling again, Gu Huai's legs were faintly painful again, he didn't dare to go outside, so he simply asked Luo Qing to burn the charcoal fire in the study, and both of them stayed in the study.
Luo Qing was very puzzled, shouldn't my brother be so afraid of the cold?
She couldn't help but ask: "Is my brother afraid of the cold?" ”
Gu Huai touched the paper and wrote the words that Luo Qing was going to learn today, and replied: "Yes, I used to burn charcoal all day long in the northern house. ”
"I see." Luo Qing nodded in response.
Gu Huai chuckled lowly: "You understand?" Actually, my brother lied to you. ”
"Why did my brother lie to me?" Luo Qing propped his head and looked at Gu Huai's eyes with black handwriting, which was really top-notch.
Gu Huai didn't answer for a while, and after finishing the last word, he put the brush back on the white and blue jade pen with a sense of familiarity, and then said: "Actually, my brother used to join the army and fight, and he fought for many years, and there will always be some injuries on his body, and it will be easy to hurt in winter. ”
When Luo Qing heard this, he was even more distressed: "Is there no way to cure it?" ”
After saying this, she felt that the nonsense she said was the root of the disease, where was it so easy to cure?
Gu Huai left from behind the bookcase and asked Luo Qing to sit over to practice calligraphy, while he sat on the couch to the side and pulled the blanket to cover his legs.
"It's not serious, it's just ...... When the army marches and fights, there is nothing to do, and this idle person is squeamish. ”
Luo Qing practiced calligraphy and said, "I'll make a knee pad for my brother later." After a pause, she added, "Brother, you must have been a general before." ”
Gu Huai chuckled lowly: "How can you see it?" ”
While practicing calligraphy, Luo Qing gossiped with Gu Huai: "Because my brother is good-looking." Hahaha, in fact, it's not, my brother's momentum is not ordinary, he has a lot of knowledge, and he ...... It seems that there is still some silver. Brother, do you think I'm right? ”
This tone of praise is ......
Gu Huai praised without hesitation: "Our family Qingqing is really smart. ”
After practicing calligraphy in the afternoon, Luo Qing didn't go looking for Dr. Li, so she stayed in the room to make knee pads for Gu Huai, but she knew that this was just a symptom but not a cure.
After following Gu Huai, she has grown a lot, learned a lot of words, and read a lot of books.
She knew that the north was dry and cold, and the south was wet and cold, and if it was in the north, she wouldn't feel how cold it would be if she burned the charcoal fire, but it was different in the south, and the moisture still drilled straight into her body.
She had to bring hot water to Gu Huai every night to soak her feet and drive away the cold.
Often Gu Huai was soaking her feet on the side, so she took a book and read it to him by candlelight, at this time, the books she read were often anecdotes, and when she read about how the north was, Luo Qing suddenly had a yearning.
"Brother, we always live in the south, why don't we go to the north to see it when we have a chance in the future, it should be very beautiful when it snows heavily in the north." The same is a lazy gardener, a total of depression, rain and snow days', such days are really good. ”
"We all know how to recite poetry. It's just ......" Gu Huai took the soup woman and looked at Luo Qing with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Aren't we living like this now?" ”
"Yes, my brother is right." But Luo Qing still didn't give up, "But Qingqing still wants to go and see with her brother." ”
After he became blind, Gu Huai had some regrets for the first time because of a person, regretting that he couldn't enjoy the snow with her, but he still responded: "Okay, my brother will accompany Qingqing to take a look in the future." ”
Seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming, Luo Qing planned to make a dress for Gu Huai himself.
She planned to measure Gu Huai's size, but she was short and couldn't reach it, so Gu Huai's short body would not be able to measure the size he was afraid of, so in the end she had to set up a bench, but Gu Huai smiled and bent over.
She hurried and hurried, and finally made the clothes on the day of the New Year, Gu Huai put the clothes on that day, and took her to the city for a walk.
In the evening, the two went to the river with the villagers to put prayer lanterns, and when they met the child, Gu Huai generously scattered some copper plates to people, saying that it was New Year's money, and Luo Qing looked at it with a blank eye.
My brother didn't give her any New Year's money.
Along the way, she was depressed, who would have thought that as soon as she went back, she found a box on her bed, and when she thought that this was her brother's surprise to herself, her whole heart pounded, and when she opened the box, she found that it was a hairpin inside.
The hairpin body is made of silver, and the hairpin head is a pink-white pear blossom with buds to be released, which looks so delicate.
Gu Huai secretly appeared behind her and teased: "Qingqing still likes my brother's New Year's gift?" ”
Luo Qing did not hide the joy in his eyes: "I like it, I can't help it." Can my brother help me put it on? ”
Gu Huai took the hairpin and groped for Luo Qing to put it on: "This thing is unique in this world, and I made this style especially for our family Qingqing." ”
Luo Qing was even more happy, touching the hairpin in her hair, and her heart was like honey: "Is my brother taking me to the city today just for this hairpin?" ”
Gu Huai reached out and touched the top of Luo Qing's hair: "Yes, what a little clever ghost." ”
Luo Qing giggled, and then reacted, and couldn't help but exclaim: "But I didn't prepare a gift for my brother." ”
As she spoke, her whole little face wrinkled into a bun.
Gu Huai held Luo Qing's face with both hands, then found the right position, pinched it, it was really soft, and he was immediately satisfied.
"You were stupid if I praised you for your cleverness, isn't this one on my brother?"
Luo Qing pouted, not very satisfied.
"This dress is not so good-looking, it all depends on my brother's good looks, and my brother knows it in advance, and he will definitely hide it from his brother in the future."
"Qingqing's praise can make my brother's heart flutter, and this can be regarded as Qingqing's New Year's gift to my brother."
Gu Huai doted.
"My brother is the best at coaxing people."
"No, my brother is telling the truth."
It's just that Luo Qing didn't expect that she received the New Year's money from Gu Huai early the next morning, and she directly got a piece of silver.
"Brother, will your New Year's money be too big?"
"No, Qingqing is older, and I want to save some private money."
Luo Qing heard this and muttered in her heart, my money is all given by you, don't you still know how much I have, where is it private money?
Gu Huai didn't know that his well-behaved Qingqing dared to slander him in his heart.
After the New Year, Luo Qing was busy again.
Xu is warm and cold, it is the time of the change of seasons, there are people in the village who have provoked the wind and cold, Dr. Li's children have no will to study medicine, his wife is no longer there, and only Luo Qing goes to help, and she has less time to read and write with Gu Huai these days.
But she has also learned a lot after this, at least it is no problem to deal with the wind and cold, and as for the identification of drugs and the collection of medicines, she can also do some work.
On this day, she came home from a busy day, but she heard a startled voice coming from the house.
"When did you have so many little girls in this house? You're a rough old man who won't change sex, right? Then I have to leave quickly, or I will be ...... by you."
"Don't worry, even if I change sex, I won't take a fancy to you as a big man."
Gu Huai's hearty voice came from inside the house, and Luo Qing couldn't help but speed up his pace.
