Chapter 57
Qi Jingqin walked in the jungle with Liang Huanqing on his back, and they walked in the direction of the river, expecting to find an exit out of the jungle along the river.
Liang Huanqing lay on Qi Jingqin's back and slowly fell asleep, no matter how Qi Jingqin called her, she didn't wake up, her breathing gradually became weak, and her body became hotter and hotter.
Qi Jingqin knew that she had to be treated by a doctor at this time, but now she was in a barren forest, deserted and deserted, and the injury on his arm also made him suffer unbearable pain, and his physical strength was exhausted, and he was almost on the verge of collapse.
Qi Jingqin carried Liang Huanqing on his back, walking step by step with difficulty, and suddenly his brain was dizzy, and he fell down together with Liang Huanqing on his back.
In front of his eyes, he peeked into the gray sky from the dense woods, it was a rainy day today...
◎
I don't know how long it took, Qi Jingqin slowly opened his eyes, and what caught his eye was a roof made of green bamboo, and he was lying on a low bed with a hollow bed frame, and the bed frame was wrapped with plain curtains on all sides.
The whole house is made of green bamboo, it seems that it has just been made, the bamboo is still green and bright, and the air is filled with the fragrance of green bamboo.
Qi Jingqin looked down at his body, the dirty clothes full of holes and bloodstains had been replaced with clean and simple linen clothes, although they were a little unfit on the body, but fortunately, they were neat and fit, and the wound on his arm that was stabbed by crocodile teeth was also bandaged tightly, and several rupture behind him was also smeared with ointment.
Qi Jingqin sat up with his body propped up, and when he looked around to find Liang Huanqing, he found that the room was empty, and from the small window that was hidden, it was a bamboo forest.
The owner of the bamboo house built a house by the mountains and rivers, and used the green bamboo that can be seen everywhere around here.
Just as Qi Jingqin was anxiously about to get out of bed, a young girl wearing a azure cigarette skirt and a blue silk hair was simply tied into two braids with ribbons of the same color pushed open the door.
She came in with a bowl of something she didn't know what it was, staring at the bowl in her hand with her eyes, not daring to let it spill a drop.
The contents of the bowl seemed to be a little hot, and the girl hurriedly put the bowl on the table when she came in, and then kept touching her earlobes and blowing on her fingers, and the panicked and hurried look was very cute.
After the girl put down the porcelain bowl, she turned around and noticed Qi Jingqin who woke up, and when she saw Qi Jingqin staring at her half-leaning on the bed curtain, she smiled, revealing a row of neat teeth, and her eyes were crooked, like a handful of clear springs.
This is a smile that the ladies of the powerful families in Shangjing have never shown, innocent, pure and beautiful.
The girl trotted to Qi Jingqin and said with a smile: "Grandpa guessed that you woke up at this time, and specially asked me to send a bowl of chicken soup to make you replenish your body." ”
After saying that, she also turned sideways and pointed to the bowl of chicken soup that she had carefully brought in, waflickering in the sunlight.
Qi Jingqin knew that it was a pair of grandfathers and grandsons who saved them, he nodded, and when he was about to ask the girl about the whereabouts of Liang Huanqing, who was walking with him, the girl took his hand, led him to sit at the table, and said in a milky and immature voice: "Drink it!" I've got a lot more to do after I'm done. ”
The girl's face was fleshy, and she deliberately made a serious expression, which made Qi Jingqin feel funny when she saw it.
The girl seemed to feel his contempt, and she puffed out her cheeks, crossed her waist, and said, "Drink quickly!" ”
Qi Jingqin nodded, picked up the spoon and stirred the bowl of fragrant chicken soup, wanting to wait until it was cooler before drinking, he said to the little girl: "You go and do your business first, I will finish drinking." ”
The little girl pulled out the round stool under the table, sat on it, her calves couldn't reach the ground, and kept swaying, her hands were propped on the table, holding her round face, and she said inarticulately: "No, grandpa let me stare at you after drinking." ”
The corners of Qi Jingqin's mouth rose slightly, and he lowered his head to drink chicken soup, while the little girl sat on the side and stared.
After a while, Qi Jingqin drank the chicken soup, and the girl was satisfied with the porcelain bowl and was about to run to find her grandfather, Qi Jingqin hurriedly stopped her and asked, "When you rescued me, have you ever seen a woman dressed gorgeously covered in blood?" ”
The girl stood at the door, holding a porcelain bowl in her hand, her eyes drifted to the roof, she thought for a while, and said, "Well... There was one covered in blood, and he was gorgeously dressed, but he didn't see it. ”
Qi Jingqin hurriedly asked, "Take me to see it!" As he spoke, he walked to the door.
The girl stood in front of him, stubbornly with a little face, and said: "No-grandpa said, you have to rest well after drinking chicken soup, besides, the young lady hasn't woken up yet, grandpa said that I am not allowed to disturb her, and you are not allowed to go!" ”
Seeing that Qi Jingqin was about to walk out, the girl trotted in front of him and retreated him, but her height was not enough, only enough for his thighs, she said angrily: "You are not allowed to go out, grandpa said-"
"Qinghuan! Don't be rude. At the door, an old man with crane hair appeared, dressed plainly and frugally, but his whole body exuded the air of wisdom, his face was kind, and his eyes revealed a love even when he was teaching his granddaughter.
Seeing that Qi Jingqin was awake, the old man smiled and bowed to him, and greeted: "Is the son okay?" The grandson is not sensible, and he asks the son not to blame. ”
When the girl called Qinghuan saw her grandfather coming, she hurriedly hid behind her grandfather, covered her body with his wide sleeves, and looked at the two of them with her head exposed.
The old man is a native of Jingzhou, born in Jingzhou since he was a child, grew up in Jingzhou, and remembered that he was too old, and thought that he had only appeared in the drama to go to Beijing to see, and brought his granddaughter to live in Beijing.
However, there are many tenants in Shangjing, and the silver brought by the old man and his granddaughter is not enough to support them to live in the hotel for a long time, so he personally built a simple small house in a desolate place outside Shangjing, and now he has lived for more than two months, and it is time to return to Jingzhou, but he did not expect to rescue two people not far from the bamboo house.
The old man didn't often go to the city, and for him, it was already a beautiful thing to be able to see Shangjing, and he didn't think about it anymore after seeing it. Enjoying family fun with his grandchildren in this quiet forest has become the greatest happiness of the old man. He couldn't recognize Prince Jing of the Heavenly Dynasty and the young lady of the Great General Jianwei Mansion, and he only knew by the brocade they were wearing that they were not ordinary rich and noble families.
Qi Jingqin also returned the salute and said, "Thank you, Mr. for your help." ”
With the faint ink fragrance on the old man's body and his attitude of not hurrying, humility or arrogance when he speaks, he can roughly judge that the old man is a scholar, and Mr. Summoning Sentence is always right.
"The young lady who was with Childe just woke up, and she happened to ask about Childe as well." The old man smiled, leaned sideways to make a way, made a "please" gesture, and said with a smile: "Childe come with me." ”
Ji Qinghuan held the porcelain bowl and ran out first, and she ran towards Liang Huanqing's room in a hurry.
The old man smiled and said to Qi Jingqin beside him: "Although Qinghuan is a girl, she is more capable and naughty than a male doll. ”
Qi Jingqin nodded in agreement.
When the old man and Qi Jingqin walked to the room, Ji Qinghuan had already pushed open the door for them, and was lying on the edge of Liang Huanqing's bed to amuse her.
When Qi Jingqin saw Liang Huanqing, he hurriedly walked over, and the old man beckoned Ji Qinghuan and told her to go to the kitchen to serve chicken soup, so that only the two of them were left in the room.
Liang Huanqing was still pale and bloodless, her eyes were dull and full of tiredness.
But fortunately, now that I have a place to live, I am not as hungry and cold as in the forest, and I am extremely depressed.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the old man knocked lightly on the door with two bowls of chicken soup and said, "The young lady and the son have been in a coma for a long time, and the old man specially stewed some chicken soup to replenish your body." ”
Qi Jingqin walked over and opened the door, took the chicken soup from the old man's hand, and said, "Thank you." ”
He looked down and saw that it was the chicken soup he had just drunk, and the fragrant and sweet taste rippled in his mouth for a long time.
The old man smiled and said, "Why should the son be so polite. ”
Liang Huanqing also said thank you, and the old man shook his head and raised his hand to signal the two to drink while it was hot.
While the two were drinking soup, the old man sat aside and said, "Right now, the old man's wound has been bandaged with gold sore medicine. But the wound on the shoulders of the young lady is too deep, almost pierced by a sharp weapon, the old man is not a doctor after all, so he has to do a simple hemostasis for the young lady, and the rest have to go to the capital to find a professional doctor for treatment, if there is any root of the disease..."
He didn't go any further.
Qi Jingqin and Liang Huanqing glanced at each other, knowing that the old man persuaded them out of concern, and the two also wanted to return to Shangjing as soon as possible, so they drank chicken soup and left.
When leaving, Qi Jingqin wanted to ask the old man to leave his name so that he could repay the life-saving grace in the future, but the old man just smiled and did not answer.
After the two left, the old man and his granddaughter Ji Qinghuan moved out of Beijing and returned to Jingzhou.
