Chapter 21: The Holy Maiden

As soon as she entered the hospital, there was a strong fragrance of osmanthus flowers, Chi Jing quietly followed Lan'er and Mei'er, fortunately, there were not many people in the house at this time, and a few osmanthus trees planted on the road allowed her to use it as a temporary cover.

Lan'er carried a bucket of water, and Mei'er held a copper basin and walked along the winding verandah to the Jade Pavilion to the west of the house.

walked to one of the large sandalwood doors carved with delicate orchid grass, and called softly outside the door, "Fourth Miss." ”

Chi Jing hid behind an evergreen tree ten paces away, and could not hear the sound in the room. When the two of them entered the room, she came to the door and carefully peeked in, and at the moment when everyone in the room had their backs to her, she dodged into the room.

"Doctor Zhu, how is he hurting, is he okay?" She hid behind the screen, followed the voice, and only vaguely saw the side face of a girl of eleven or twelve. And that's... Fourth Miss?

It turned out that I also specially invited a doctor...

"Fourth Miss," Dr. Zhu scolded dissatisfiedly, "Do you know that you shouldn't-"

"I know, I know," the fourth lady anxiously interrupted Dr. Zhu's words: "I know that I shouldn't bring anyone back, but if I don't bring him back, he will die, Dr. Zhu, please save him." ”

"Fourth Miss, this is detrimental to your reputation..."Alas, that's it, Doctor Zhu sighed and said, "You have to remember that you are a saint given to us by God. ”

Saint? Chi Jing immediately understood who this fourth lady was.

Twelve years ago, Gucheng encountered a once-in-a-century drought, and God did not drop a drop of rain for four months. Under the scorching sun, the rivers dried up and the sea dried up, the fields were hungry and thirsty, and the throats full of cracks were opened, and the people had no harvest, and finally starved all over the wilderness, and the plague raged.

On the night of the day when the imperial court sent people to prepare to burn the city to eliminate the source of infection, the wind roared like a wild beast, and a baby's cry pierced the sky, followed by a huge thunderclap, and the nectar poured down from the sky.

The rain came, the air was purified, there was enough water to boil medicinal tea, and the plague was brought under control.

The dead are dead, and the living have to continue to live.

The old people looked up at the sky, the old tears mixed with the rain flowing into their mouths only to feel a variety of flavors, the children stretched out their pink tongues to taste the sweet jade dew, and the young people regained their strength, dancing and singing songs to resume farming.

It rained for seven days and seven nights. The people, they survived.

The strange thing is that only the Gu family had a newborn in the entire Gucheng that night, so everyone agreed that the baby girl who came into being was the saint sent by God to bless the people with rain.

The fourth lady of the Gu family, the saint Gu Yupan.

Twelve years with the halo of a saint.

"Lan'er, you go to decoction, Mei'er, you go find a set of clean clothes to change into for him, Doctor Zhu, I'll send it to you."

The people in the room all retreated at this moment, and Chi Jing appeared from behind the screen, came to the bed, and finally saw the scarred Lan Yimo. I saw that his face was flushed, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, he was muttering uneasily, his limbs and bones were broken, he was stained with blood, and there were bruises on his face and body from being beaten, which was unbearable.

Chi Jing was in unbearable pain for a while, and his hands were clenched tightly...

Now is not the time to settle scores...

She took out a vermilion pill from her arms, broke it for him to swallow, and Lan Yimo slowly opened her big blurred eyes.

"Aunt... Mother..."The voice was fragmented, and the blue eyes were lifeless.

"Don't talk yet, I'll take you out of here." What a saint, she doesn't believe. She only believes in herself.

"Girl..."Lan Yimo knew that this was not in a dream, the girl had really come to save herself. He knew that as long as he held his breath, he would always be able to wait for the girl to come...

Tears couldn't stop flowing, and Lan Yimo wanted to stretch out his hand and take out the things in his arms, but his limbs couldn't use his strength. What happened to his limbs? Looking at Chi Jing with frightened eyes, Chi Jing couldn't bear to look away.

Those people... No grievances... Won't you give him a way to live? Just because he doesn't look like them? "Ahh

The heavens are unfair, the heavens are unfair...

"Let's get out of here first, don't think about it." Ji Jing held his face and looked him in the eyes steadily.

Chi Jing's eyes seemed to have magic, Lan Yimo was infected by her firmness and confidence, and the haze in her heart seemed to dispel some... Suddenly, he remembered something, "Girl... I... Bosom... in..."

"In the arms? Something in your arms? For me? Lan Yimo nodded, and she reached into his arms in confusion and pulled out a flattened oiled paper bag.

Before she opened it, she knew what was inside. My heart was sour, and tears flowed down in an instant. What a stupid boy...

"When you're really ready one day, go buy me something delicious. I like to eat Lui's mung bean cake on Corning Street, remember it. ”

Chi Jing looked at the bright red "Lu's Mung Bean Cake" mark printed on the oiled paper, and remembered what she had said not long ago.

In fact, where she likes to eat mung bean cake, she just gives him the courage to go out.

I remember.

He remembered it tightly, so he went out to buy it, so that she could eat it as soon as she woke up, and wanted her to be happy?

He finally mustered up the courage to go out, and somehow succeeded in getting the boss to sell him the mung bean cake, but he lay here for a long time.

Chi Jing wiped a handful of tears indiscriminately, took a deep breath, and stepped forward to carry him. "Yimo, you endure the pain, don't speak, I'll take you home."

I'll take you home. Home is a place where you can feel at ease. Lan Yimo closed his eyes with peace of mind, and fell asleep in a blink of an eye.

Chi Jing carried Lan Yimo on his back, and opened the door, but saw a girl standing in front of the door, stretching her hand forward to push the door, but at this time, she looked at her in a daze, obviously stunned by this scene.

Chi Jing's heart sank, and when she was distracted, he stared at her eyes tightly, as if he wanted to capture her soul through her eyes. "You look at me."

Hearing this, Mei'er stared blankly at the eyes in front of her. Who is she? How did it suddenly appear here? Carrying that monster on your back again? Is she a monster too?

These eyes are so pretty... Big, bent and shiny... The stars in her eyes are so shining...

It's so flashy, it makes her a little dizzy... Why is she dizzy...

For a moment, a voice like a lover's murmur sounded softly.

“… When I pushed the door in..."

“… He's still lying there..."

"There's no one else but him..."

“… I'm scared of what he looks like..."

“… So I hurriedly put down my clothes... And he walked out of this room..."

“… There are no anomalies..."

"There are no anomalies." Mei'er repeated the last sentence in a distracted manner.

"Jade bottle!"

There was a soft call from the entrance of the cave, and the jade bottle was startled, and hurriedly looked inside, seeing the blood on Lan Yimo's body.

"Oh my God!" The jade bottle helped drag Lan Yimo out of the hole as gently as possible, and then Chi Jing also came out.

"Go back!" Pond net road.

The jade bottle didn't ask more than half a word, picked up Lan Yimo and hurriedly left the magnificent wall with Chi Jing on his back.
