Chapter 123: Heaven-Sent Fate
Thousands of miles away from Sioux City, there is a small village, although the village is small, the scenery is very beautiful, there is a big mountain behind the village, there is a wide river in the direction of the entrance of the village, the river water is crystal clear, there are a few women and girls washing clothes next to the river, they talk and laugh, very comfortable.
There was a lot of herbs drying in the courtyard of a house near the back mountain, and a woman was sorting out the herbs, and after packing them up, she went into the house, came to a room, looked at the girl who was lying unconscious on the bed, walked forward and took off the handkerchief on her head, touched her forehead again to feel the temperature, and found that she had no fever, so she was relieved.
"The fever is finally gone." The woman smiled reassuringly, checked the quilt, and found that there was no air leakage around, so she was relieved to leave.
And at this moment, the unconscious woman finally opened her eyes slowly, she heard the sound of talking just now, and then she used a lot of strength to open her eyes.
She looked around in a daze, and when she woke up, her mind was also confused, and after thinking about what had happened before, she remembered that she had fallen into the river, and struggled in the water for a long time, but the river was too fast, so she could only follow the water downstream.
Jiang Liuli smiled bitterly, did she rush with the water, the first time she crossed here, it was also in the water, that time she was rescued by Yue Liuli, who saved her this time?
"Girl, you're awake." The woman, who had been about to leave, turned around when she heard the noise, and saw that she had opened her eyes and looked at her in surprise.
"Where am I?" She looked at the strange woman in front of her, and her voice was a little hoarse, and then she realized that her mouth was so dry.
"You wait." The woman noticed her strangeness, quickly put down the basin in her hand, poured a glass of water from the table, came behind her, lifted her up against herself, and then put the tea to her lips.
When she was helped up, she found that her whole body was in pain, especially in her chest, as if she had been pricked by a needle, and it hurt her heart, so she drank all the water in the cup with the woman's hand, and then she felt much better in her throat.
After drinking the water, the woman gently put her back on the bed and carefully tucked the corners of the quilt.
"You saved me?" Jiang Liuli looked at the woman suspiciously, she didn't seem to know kung fu, how could she save her from such a rushing river?
"It wasn't me who saved you, it's my son." The woman laughed and explained that she was not capable of saving people.
Jiang Liuli looked at her gentle smiling face, her heart warmed up all of a sudden, she gestured with a kind of ladylike demeanor, but her dress was obviously no different from that of ordinary women, she didn't understand how she could feel this way.
"You're not lightly injured, you need to recuperate, don't get out of bed, you know?" The woman carefully told her, her gentleness, her care, made Jiang Liuli feel as if she was loved by her mother, and she was deeply infatuated with such a feeling.
"Madam, the medicine is ready." At this time, a woman's voice came from outside the door, Jiang Liuli felt that her voice was very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
When the woman heard the woman's voice, she hurriedly walked out of the door, and although the door was not closed, the bed was separated from the door by some distance, and no figure could be seen outside the door.
"I said I wanted to rest more, why didn't you listen, this is almost the end of the day, what if something happens?" The woman's words of reproach reached Jiang Liuli's ears, but there was concern in the reproachful tone.
"It's okay, I can still do a little thing." The woman's voice came again.
Jiang Liuli listened to the woman's voice and guessed that she must be a gentle and dignified woman, but how could such a person appear here?
She looked at the furnishings of the house, some of the things were relatively new, as if they had been built in recent years, and the house was very simple, similar to that of ordinary people.
She closed her eyes and sniffed carefully, and she could smell the herbs in the air. If that's the case, that's a coincidence, right? Is it all a coincidence? Or was it premeditated?
"You, just wait for your mother-in-law to come back and count you down." The woman said helplessly, her tone full of tenderness.
Jiang Liuli listened to the movement outside, and felt that she was thinking too much, could such a good person be sent by others? If you want to kill her, you can do it when she is unconscious, and you don't need to go through so much trouble, is it really that you think too much?
While she was thinking wildly, the woman walked in with a bowl of medicine, and the cautious appearance of being afraid that the medicine would spill out did not seem to be premeditated at all.
"Come, drink the medicine, and your body will get better quickly after drinking." She gently lifted the person up again, this time not sitting behind her, but with a lot of stuff behind her to make her lie down more comfortably.
The woman blew the medicine, and it didn't feel so hot, so she handed it to her, looking at her actions, Jiang Liuli's heart was warm, it was the first time that she was taken care of by someone like this.
"Come, the medicine is not hot, drink it." The woman handed her the bowl, and she reached out to take it, only to find that she was so weak that she did not even have the strength to hold it.
"I'll feed you." The woman saw that her hand holding the medicine bowl was trembling faintly, and hurriedly snatched the medicine over.
Jiang Liuli originally wanted to refuse, but watched her take the wooden spoon and carefully feed her the medicine little by little, and swallowed it back when it came to her mouth.
With the help of the woman, she drank the medicine with a thoughtful expression, this medicine is for internal injuries, and it seems that her son's medical skills are not bad.
"Thank you." She looked at the woman gratefully, she had not experienced the taste of being cared for like a mother for a long time, and this time, she felt the love of a mother in a stranger.
"You just woke up, you still need a good rest, I'll go out first." The woman helped her back to the bed again, and took the trouble to help her tuck the corners of the quilt, and then packed up her things and left.
Jiang Liuli watched her leave, and only retracted her gaze for a long time, she felt very strange today, maybe it was in the most vulnerable period, and she was moved by the warmth given by a stranger and wanted more and more.
She struggled to sit up from the bed, looking at the clothes on her body, obviously not her own, she unbuttoned her clothes, checked her chest, and found that there was a large red blood mark on her chest, and immediately frowned.
She sat cross-legged with great effort, trying to heal her wounds, but found that her internal strength was lost, her muscles and veins were blocked, and it seemed that if she didn't remove the blood on her chest, she could only do nothing like a wasted person.
"Ahem." With just one small movement, she was panting and coughing, this was the first time she had been so badly injured, and there was no one to help.
Just as she stopped coughing and wanted to lie back on the bed, a person suddenly walked in outside the door, she thought it was the woman just now, but when she saw the person, her eyes widened.
"It's you, why are you here?" Jiang Liuli was shocked and looked at the sudden appearance of Qiu Ran, shouldn't she be with Wu Dachun to accompany Lan Tingxuan?
Thinking of Lan Tingxuan, she was so shocked that she almost forgot to breathe, could it be that this is Lan Tingxuan's hometown? The picturesque, airy village?
"Miss Jiang, don't come unharmed." Autumn Ran walked towards her with a smile, but the big belly hindered her speed.
Jiang Liuli looked at her stunned, then looked at her big belly, and didn't react for a while.
"Hehe, it's really fateful." She laughed weakly, she didn't expect that the person who saved her would be Lan Tingxuan, was this God's arrangement? Send her in such a way when she wants to come to him?
"Miss Jiang, what happened? How could you be so badly hurt? Qiu Ran came to the side of the bed and sat on the stool next to the bed, now she would feel difficult to walk a few steps.
"I've met an enemy." She said in a trance, thinking of Su Yunyi's betrayal, she didn't have heartache, only anger, and it was only then that she realized that she didn't seem to love him, but she still liked him.
"On the way back from the visit that day, the master and Dachun met you who were washed away by the river, and the master rescued you without thinking, and the river was still relatively urgent at that time, and he was almost swept away by the river." Thinking of the situation that day, Qiu Ran was afraid for a while, although he didn't see it with his own eyes, but when he heard Wu Dachun talk about it, he felt very dangerous.
"Really? He's still so warm-hearted. Jiang Liuli smiled bitterly, she didn't expect to meet again in such a way.
"By the way, he doesn't know my identity, does he?" She suddenly thought of this, she had already known him in another capacity at that time, and she didn't plan to tell him about it now.
"I didn't say it, he still doesn't know." Qiu Ran said with a smile, although she didn't understand what she meant by doing this, but she wouldn't say it without her permission.
"How long have I been unconscious?" After talking for a while, she felt a little dizzy, and after her mood relaxed, she became even more sleepy.
"It's been three days." Qiu Ran replied truthfully, when she saw Lan Tingxuan coming back with her dying in her arms that day, she was really startled, and thought that Lan Tingxuan had already seen her identity, and when she saw him looking at her with the eyes of a stranger, she knew that he was just kind enough to save her, and he still didn't know anything about her.
"It's been three days." She closed her eyes and muttered, in the past three days, Mingyue and Mingxia should have known that she was missing, I don't know if she would be in a hurry to find Su Yunyi for revenge?
"Tingxuan, are you back?" At this time, a woman's voice came from outside the door, Jiang Liuli listened to it, and was shocked, Lan Tingxuan came back?
"Mother, what's wrong with that girl?" Lan Tingxuan's warm voice came into her ears, causing her chaotic heart to suddenly calm down.
"I'm awake." The woman replied happily.
"Then I'll go see her." As soon as Lan Tingxuan finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, Qiu Ran looked at Jiang Liuli, and saw that she didn't seem to have any intention of speaking, so she sighed helplessly.
"Come in." Jiang Liuli didn't speak, so she could only do it for her, otherwise she would turn him away?
After getting the answer, the door was pushed open quickly, but it was not Lan Tingxuan who came in, but the woman just now, she saw Qiu Ran sitting on the edge of the bed, and her face was disapproving.
"I've only been out for a while, and you're here again? Hurry back and get some rest. The woman stepped forward and took her hand by the hand, and her cautious look was enviable.
Jiang Liuli looked at Lan Tingxuan behind the woman, the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a gentle smile, he was still so fresh and elegant, and his eyes were still clean and clear.
Lan Tingxuan saw her on the bed smiling softly at herself, her heart sped up for no reason, and her face turned red involuntarily, he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at her, what was the sudden feeling of palpitations? He obviously only has a girl in his heart, and he can't be tempted by other women, but how to explain the heart that can't stop beating wildly?
