The downpour fell without warning, and a few lightning bolts flew in the air from time to time in the thick rain, tearing a hole in this thick darkness, and the rain raged everywhere, hitting the world without bounds, hitting the mud-walled grass hut in this small courtyard, and it looked like it was crumbling.

There were two thatched huts, and there were a few bushes of wild grass sticking out of the eaves wall, which were beaten by the strong rain and stuck to the mud wall, and they didn't dare to shake it again.

There was a light in the room, a small oil lamp that was faintly lit, and the oil lamp was lit as if it was looking at the people in the room with compassion, and the core of the lamp shrank from time to time, as if it was also under the stormy rain, and did not dare to show its head.

On the kang slept a little girl in an old shirt, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a thin face and thin muscles, muttering in a coma. There was an aunt in Tsing Yi in front of the kang, with patches on her clothes, holding a hot towel that had just been wrung out in her hand, and she kept wiping it for her.

"Sister, wake up quickly," sobbing and shouting softly was the little girl who was two years younger, and she held the hand of the unconscious girl on the kang and shook and shouted. From time to time, I turned around to look at the violent rain outside, and the dark rain seemed to isolate the grass hut in this place, and the lightning "swooped" that appeared from time to time suddenly became bright, flashing people's hearts just cold.

A figure strode in from outside the house, ignoring the rain on his face, took out a bag of medicine from his arms, and hurriedly shouted: "Aunt Wu, Xiaokui, the medicine is here." ”

The wind blew so hard that the windows shook, and the wind brought the rain into the house, and the pieces of rain flew onto the people, and the fifth aunt also shivered, only to feel that the grass house was also shaking, and it would go away with the wind at any time and disappear into the sky.

The first spoonful of medicinal juice was poured into the mouth of the unconscious Lin Xiaochu, just when the storm rose again. It seemed to be a touch of coldness mixed with the rain, and it entered the house with the wind, and the fifth aunt shivered and looked up again. The door was closed and the wind was like a cold blade entering the door, with an unstoppable momentum.

"Cough, cough," the medicine was poured down spoonful by spoonful, Xin Xiaochu on the kang finally moved, coughed a few times in the anxious eyes of the six, and stopped weakly because he had not run out of water and rice for two days in a coma.

The people on the side of the kang were pleasantly surprised, the fifth aunt who was feeding the medicine stopped, the crying little girl stopped crying, and the stout young man who braved the rain to ask for medicine rushed to the kang: "Xiao Chu is awake, five aunts, Xiao Yi, Xiao Chu is awake." ”

What kind of place is this, Lin Xiaochu, who didn't know how long he had been in a coma, passed out again, and the last thing that rang in his ears was a hoarse shout: "Xiaochu, wake up, wake up quickly......"

In the rain, the wind turned into a whirlwind, whistling and pounding the mud walls of the grass hut from time to time, dancing again and again with a fury that would not stop. In this raging wind, when Lin Xiaochu woke up again, it was the morning of the next day.

Does anyone have an inexplicable crossing? Lin Xiaochu finally admitted that he had encountered it. Seriously, it's just going up to the tree to prune the tree in your yard, stepping on the empty foot, and returning to ancient times.

What is this place? Lin Xiaochu shook his head; What dynasty is this? Lin Xiaochu shook his head. Who is there at home, Lin Xiaochu, who is carrying a basket of flowers, looks at Lin Xiaoyi, who is smiling at him with a little face on his face, and his sister Lin Xiaoyi.

"Sister, there is the Taiping Building in front, where the flower business is the best." Lin Xiaoyi smiled like a flower and reminded Lin Xiaochu. Alas, when it comes to selling flowers, Lin Xiaochu can only sigh.

In the yellowed old bamboo basket in his hand, there are dozens of white orchids. It was covered with an old cloth drenched with water, but it still couldn't hide the fragrance, and it sprouted to the nose.

Just for the early blooming of white orchids, the original flower girl Lin Xiaochu went up the tree to pick flowers and fell down. When I woke up again, it was Lin Xiaochu who was pruning branches on the tree, and this Lin Xiaochu was not Lin Xiaochu, and the name of the partial birth was the same. Lin Xiaochu thought he was unlucky, who made me give the wrong name and look wrong.

In the Taiping wine shop that turned around on the Zhonglou Street of Guangyang Mansion, the fat shopkeeper Qin Fat's eyes narrowed with only one slit. Today's business in the store is good, not only is Xiao Er courteous in front of the door, but also Lin Xiaochu, a girl who sells medicine, is even more hardworking, and the crisp voice in front of the door makes the passers-by stop and stop: "Sir, if you want to eat here, you want to drink and have good wine." ”

"The guests in the private room have all the wine, let's go sell flowers." Qin Fatzi didn't let people shout in vain

"I'm coming."

Lin Xiaochu agreed crisply, bowed to Qin Fatzi, and flashed to the private room lightly.

Next to him was Lin Xiaoyi, who was holding a money bag, and followed with a smile every step of the way.

"Guest officer, send flowers,"

Lin Xiaochu, who was dressed in an old cyan cloth clothes, had no flowers and no flowers on his body, only a red head rope on his head, and he was also a significant poverty who was half-new and not old. She carefully greeted her first, and then bent down to come in with a bamboo basket in her hand, so that the eyes of the half-drunk people in it lit up.

"I didn't want to spend it, how dare you break in?"

"This flower is carefully planted in my own yard, and the aroma is rich, which can refresh and relieve hangover."

There were only two people in the seat, and there were four family members standing next to them. Sitting in the first place was a young man in his twenties, with bright eyes and thick eyebrows, and he was very handsome. The body is also a cyan dress, but the faint dark lines are flashing, revealing a luxurious brilliance. He was surprised, but not surprised.

A handsome person, even his voice is magnetic and good. As he spoke, a family member came up to chase him away. "Get out!" Because the master was present, the family did not dare to raise their voices, but they spoke in a deep voice.

"The fragrance is fragrant," the young man pursed his lips slightly, and the flower girl in the small place can also speak the words of the book.

Lin Xiaochu flattened her mouth, as if she didn't buy her flowers, she suffered a supreme grievance. Childe was looking at it with amusement, and saw the girl reluctantly rubbing her way out of the wet cloth that covered the flowers. Suddenly, a fragrant floral fragrance filled the air.

"What a fragrant flower,"

"It's just a good flower!"

The flower girl with a flat mouth is still aggrieved.

Sitting opposite was a Xiucai look, about thirty years old. After smelling the fragrance of flowers, her face was full of nostalgia: "This girl is right, wake up and relieve hangover." ”

"I only blame her for trespassing."

Lin Xiaochu's eyes were bright, his mouth was bulging, and he was waiting at the door with affection, as if he was waiting for someone to change his hexagram.

This suddenly brightened his eyes, like dew on the lotus. Childe spoke again: "Ask her how much?" The implication is that I don't want to talk to people in the wine shop in person.

"One penny for one flower."

Lin Xiaochu bowed his waist: "Gongzi Xie will reward money." ”

The young man was even more happy: "Did I say I wanted it?" This girl has a bright smile, like a white orchid in a basket, and it is even more perceptive, so that people are willing to take a few more looks.

Lin Xiaochu stood up straight and replied without hesitation: "The buyer only asks the price, and the son is a flower lover." Having said this, Lin Xiaochu vaguely felt that something was wrong, and she didn't realize what was wrong.

Xiucai laughed, Childe also laughed, and the two exchanged a smile, which seemed to be a little weird. Xiucai cleared his throat and helped:

"This girl is dexterous, and the son rewards her."

A large, white hand waved casually.

Childe only raised his hand. The family member who drove away just now took out a small ingot of silver from his bosom and sent it over: "The flowers stay, you can go." ”

The family's hands are not as good as the son's white and clear, but Lin Xiaochu and Lin Xiaoyi can look at it together, and the small ingots and silver in this hand are not more than two taels. This is the amount of money that Lin Xiaochu can only get if he earns it for a month.

Lin Xiaochu smiled lightly and took the silver, even left the flower and bamboo basket, bent down again in front of the son, and pulled Lin Xiaoyi out.

Xiucai in the private room was surprised: "The voice of the yellow warbler is like a bird, and if you have the heart to listen to her say another word, she will leave." "The family sent the flowers over and begged the son's instructions:

"The little one asks the shopkeeper to put a clean plate on it, so that it is convenient for the son to enjoy it."

"Ask me where the girl's family lives just now, and what is her name?"

The young man commanded to come down. Holding the wine glass in his hand, he said to Xiucai again: "I don't know if it suits my heart?" ”

Xiucai thought about it for a while, and said again:

"One of the many, can you still do it? Childe has more than a few months to be here, and of course he will return with a beautiful return when he returns. ”

When he mentioned this, there seemed to be hatred on Childe's face, and then he said nonchalantly: "You and I are the most important thing to drink, and it's not too late to mention it tomorrow." ”

Lin Xiaochu and Lin Xiaoyi, who exited, walked happily on the street. The silver was still held tightly in Lin Xiaoyi's hand, she held it tightly, Lin Xiaochu glanced at it by chance, and she was about to smile. "Let's go buy a new bamboo basket first, and then come out to sell flowers in the afternoon." Lin Xiaoyi dialed the wishful thinking, Lin Xiaochu just smiled like a spring breeze on his face, and the clouds were light and light.

"Buy half a catty of sugar cubes for Xiaoyi, buy a new pair of straw sandals for Brother Shengdi, and buy a new thimble for Aunt Wu,"

Lin Xiaochu said it one by one, Lin Xiaoyi counted the money in his mouth, and smiled and grinned:

"Sister, this money is still a lot of miles."

Lin Xiaochu sighed: "There is also the medicine money that my sister owes." ”

Coming here with one foot in the air, I owe a lot of money for medicine, Lin Xiaochu is speechless every time he thinks about it, I can't go out of this ticket money.

"Doctor Qin said, don't worry about the medical money,"

Lin Xiaoyi refused to give it, and said pitifully: "The family has never had so much money, sister, let's stay for a while." ”

Another sigh sounded from Lin Xiaochu's lips, and more than one or two pieces of silver were considered a fortune. The pedestrians who walked around him had silk and yarn, and many of them had smiles on their faces. This smile reinfected Lin Xiaochu, and smiled at Lin Xiaoyi:

"If you want to leave it for a few days, three days at most, and you will have to pay back Dr. Qin's medicine. Dr. Qin has to support a family, and it is not easy for him. ”

Lin Xiaoyi, who was smiling, nodded obediently: "I'll leave it for three days, and then give it to Doctor Qin when it's warm." ”

The two sisters had agreed and walked into the crowd hand in hand.

In the wine shop, Qin Fatzi had a silver ingot in front of him, and there were five taels of silver. Qin Fatzi immediately smiled and said to the family in front of him: "This girl's surname is Lin, her name is Xiaochu, she has no father or mother in the family, and she has been selling flowers in my wine shop for three years. ”
