Chapter 29: Who Shot It?
There was a bed, some simple furniture, and the left transept resembled a study, with a desk, some shelves without books, and a few guest chairs.
Out of the hall, he walked to the corridor on the right, which was a little higher than the inner courtyard, and was laid with wooden planks at the bottom, and some curtains were laid down on both sides to cover the corridor. There are three rooms on each side, and three paths extend from the corridor to each door, and at the end of the corridor, in the direction of the hall, there is another road to the back of the hall, which seems to be a firewood room, a kitchen, and a back door.
Zhong Hui looked at the house next to the corridor and wanted to find a room to be his bedroom, so he looked at the room on the right, the three rooms on the right were wide, but they did not have light, so it was not good. So he went round the inner court and came to the left.
When he opened the door to the first room on the left, a dagger rested around his neck.
This sudden change frightened Zhong Hui, and he froze in place.
Zhong Hui gradually turned his head to see who was going to kill him.
"Don't move, if you dare to move, I'll kill you. A reluctant and fierce female voice came from the ear.
At this time, Zhong will hate himself, and he was actually carried away by the joy of watching the house, and he didn't even have the least vigilance.
He raised his hands and said, "Heroine spare my life, I'm just a common man, I haven't done anything bad." If you ask for money, I will immediately ask someone to take it for you, and if you say what you want, I will prepare it for you immediately, the knife has no eyes, you have to pay attention. Zhong Hui thought about confusing this woman first, waiting for himself to get out, and then experiencing her well.
As he spoke, he quietly turned his head, and Zhong Hui looked at the woman next to him who was pale and white, with blue lips and disheveled hair, and was covered in rags, her clothes were still stained with a lot of coagulated blood, and her left arm was wrapped in a white cloth, which seemed to be injured.
At a glance, he recognized that this woman was the woman who had a confrontation with the city defense camp at the Fengxian Downstairs that day, and he was very surprised, and couldn't help but say, "It's you?"
Unexpectedly, the woman thought that Zhong Hui recognized her as an exile, so she moved the dagger towards Zhong Hui's neck. This move immediately caused Zhong Hui's neck to bleed, and Zhong Hui hurriedly explained to the woman.
"Don't be a woman, I'm not a member of the city defense camp, I'm just a bystander in Fengxian Tower that day, I saw you being wronged, and I complained for you, you ...... Don't hurt yourself, I'm myself, pay attention...... Keep an eye out for this knife. ”
Zhong Hui watched as the dagger got closer and closer to his neck, and he began to speak. He was afraid that if the woman's hand shook, this little life would be confessed here, and he had to let the woman let down her guard.
As soon as the woman heard Zhong Hui say that she was not from the city defense battalion, her hand loosened a little, but it was still tightly next to his neck, and as long as Zhong would move a little, she would cut it off without hesitation.
Zhong Hui felt that the woman's dagger was not so tight, and he was relieved.
Then he said to her: "I know you, I was on the Fengxian Tower that day, and I saw everything in my eyes, in fact, the group of people from the city defense camp had already arrived that day, but they waited for you to make a move. I was very indignant at their behavior at the time. Actually, I really wanted to help you, but it happened so quickly that I didn't react. I have the pleasure of seeing you again this time, and I think this is the time for God to make amends for me, you have to understand that I am not your enemy, you can lay down your arms now, I can help you. ”
But depending on what Zhong would say, the woman refused to put down her weapon, and the two of them were deadlocked. Zhong Hui thought that this was not the way, and she had to be convinced of herself, and looked at the scars on the woman's body, so he said to her.
"I see you're covered in wounds, and if you don't take medicine right away, your wounds will cost you your life. It's better to do this, I know that you don't believe me now, you can let me accompany you to the pharmacy to buy medicine, and if I do anything in the process of buying medicine, you can kill me. ”
After Zhong Hui finished speaking, he looked at her with blind and sincere eyes, and the woman also looked at Zhong Hui, the two of them looked at each other for a while, maybe the woman felt that Zhong Hui was reasonable, so she put down the dagger, and then said coldly: "I hope you don't lie to me, otherwise, even if I die, I will pull you on my back." ”
Zhong met the woman and put down the dagger, relieved in his heart, and said: "How could I lie to you, you choose to believe me, you are saving yourself." ”
He was about to take the woman to the pharmacy, but he didn't expect the woman to walk straight into the back room. Zhong Hui followed up with a puzzled face, and saw the woman's father lying on the bed, dying, covered in wounds, especially the one on his back, which was deeply visible. Zhong Hui couldn't bear to look any further, so he turned his head and said to the woman, "Let's go, let's go buy medicine, and ask a doctor to come back by the way." ”
The woman remembered that in the past two days, she had been chased and killed by the people of the city defense camp, hiding in Tibet, and finally hiding, and now she had to rush in again, and she also had some scruples in her heart. But looking at her father, who was lying unconscious on the bed, she gritted her teeth, and followed Zhong Hui out of the house and towards the medicine shop.
Half an hour later, Zhong Hui and the woman came to the bed of the unconscious man with an old doctor.
Zhong Hui looked at the doctor, and then at the medicine he bought on the table. Thinking about it, I have to find the housekeeper of the prince's mansion to get some money when I came out, otherwise it would be over today.
The old doctor's skill was quite high, he first stitched up the knife wound gradually, and then took out a bottle of powder and applied it to the patient's wound.
After doing all this, according to the doctor, the middle-aged man barely picked up his life, but he still had to take care of his body and not work for two or three months.
Then the old doctor wrote a prescription and asked Zhong Hui to catch the medicine according to the prescription, and when all this was done, he took out two bottles of medicine, which were for the woman, one for oral administration and one for external application, and then separated.
Zhong Hui sent the old doctor away, and went to boil medicine for the woman's father.
When the medicine was brought into the house, it was found that the woman was already asleep next to the bed.
Looking at the way the woman fell asleep, Zhong Hui suddenly had mixed feelings. She is a girl, who suffered this catastrophe for no reason, hiding in Tibet all day long, with nowhere to live. Now that I finally met me, my father's injuries were healed, and my safety was no problem, and a stone in my heart finally landed. In the past few days, I have been afraid that a girl has not been able to get a good night's sleep.
Thinking of this, Zhong will put the medicine on the table, take out a blanket from the cabinet, and walk over to cover her so as not to catch a cold.
