Chapter 224: The Secret Between the Three
Before Anzhi Tinglan was driven away, Yu'er Qing'er was waiting in front of the Yan family, Xia Yan didn't pay close attention to them, let alone hear anything about the two of them.
If Qing'er hadn't mentioned it today, Xia Yan really didn't know that Yu'er's hands would have frostbite every year.
Xia Yan also had chilblains.
When she first came to this world, it was winter, and although it hadn't snowed yet, it was already so cold that people didn't want to get out of the bed.
At such a time when he didn't feel warm in a thick cotton jacket, Xiao Xia Yan could only wear a thin set of shabby cotton clothes.
Xia Yan didn't have any memories of the past, and she didn't know how such a young child survived this cold winter, but the frostbite on her hands and feet told her that this child had really suffered a lot.
Before discovering the spiritual spring water, Xia Yan could only silently endure the itchy feeling of being distressed to the bone, and every time the itch came up, she couldn't sleep at night, making her miserable.
Therefore, Xia Yan understands the taste of chilblains.
As for why Yu'er's chilblains gradually improved, Xia Yan also knew the reason.
In the past few years, under her special instructions, whether the family is cooking or drinking, they will add a little diluted spiritual spring water to the water.
Although they didn't know what the difference was between this water and well water, the words of Xia Yan in this family were tantamount to a holy decree to them, even if it was poison, they dared to drink it, not to mention the holy water that was good for the body?
Yes, they have always called this diluted spiritual spring water holy water in private, otherwise why would it be so magical?
Not only have I not had any headaches and brain fever over the years, but even the dark diseases that have plagued me for many years have improved a lot.
What's even more amazing is that the holy water not only cured Lin Yuan's slope foot, but also cured the scars on Sister-in-law He's face, and even Granny Li, who had been hunched over since birth, gradually straightened her waist.
It's nothing short of a miracle! I'm afraid that only the divine water in the sky can have this effect.
Xia Yan, who took out these holy waters, was already more than just a master in their hearts, she was a savior, a benefactor, and a god in the sky, if it wasn't a god, how could there be such a magical thing?
Although Xia Yan repeatedly emphasized that it was just ordinary spring water, they were not fools, and naturally knew why miracles frequently happened in their homes.
Because they saw that Xia Yan didn't want this matter to be publicized, they consciously kept it a secret, and even the word holy water only dared to mention it when there were no outsiders.
When Xia Yan knew that they had named the spiritual spring water without telling him, he could only smile helplessly.
Originally, she could keep the secret of the spiritual spring, and only let her mother and brother use it, but although Lin Yuan and the others were the subordinates who were bought back by her, in Xia Yan's heart, they were just like her own family.
Whenever she saw Lin Yuan walking with her feet struggling, when she saw Sister-in-law He touching her cheek in the dead of night, and when she saw Granny Li's backache because of her hunchback, Xia Yan felt very uncomfortable.
So she hopes they get better sooner than keeping it a secret.
She also believed that these people would not be treacherous, let alone tell outsiders about Lingquan.
Xia Yan only knew that the situation of Lin Yuan and the three of them was more serious, so the concentration of the spiritual spring water for the three of them was much greater than that of the others.
For the rest of the family, she just gave them some ordinary spiritual spring water to maintain their health.
It is precisely because the spring water has been diluted too much that after all these years, Yu'er's chilblains have not healed.
Now that she knows about this today, Xia Yan can't watch her suffer in vain.
Xia Yan took advantage of Qing'er's lack of attention on his body, quickly took out a small bottle of spiritual spring water from the space and handed it out: "Qing'er, don't be busy, I'll clean up the rest myself." You go and bring this bottle of water to Yu'er, and ask her to pour some warm water in the morning and evening to soak her hands. ”
"Yes, miss." At home, they have long been accustomed to Xia Yan's style of saying the same, since Miss spoke, and Qing'er wanted the little sister's hand to get better quickly, she didn't stay longer, took the bottle and ran out, and didn't forget to shout before leaving, "Miss, sit still, I'll come back right away to help you comb your hair." ”
Xia Yan couldn't help but laugh softly when she looked at Qing'er's hurried appearance, but she didn't sit still as Qing'er said, and cleaned up by herself.
But as soon as she picked up the comb, Qing'er walked in with a drooping face.
"Qing'er, why did you come back after just going out for a while?" Xia Yan looked at her appearance that was about to cry, and was puzzled, "Has the thing been delivered?" Did you quarrel with Yu'er? ”
"Little ...... Miss ......" Qing'er lowered her head, her thin shoulders trembling with sobbing, "Qing'er, Qing'er is sorry for you!" Qing'er knows that he is wrong, please punish him! ”
"Why do you say that?" Xia Yan's tone was soft, "It's just the blink of an eye, what can you do to be sorry for me." ”
"Miss!" Qing'er raised her head and looked at Xia Yan with tears streaming down her face, "Qing'er...... Qing'er smashed the bottle you just gave. It's all Qing'er's bad, it's Qing'er who was too careless and lost such a precious holy water, Miss, Qing'er admits punishment! It's all because of me...... Because of my negligence, Yu'er's chilblain can't be cured......"
As she spoke, Qing'er actually cried.
"Silly girl." Xia Yan couldn't help laughing, and once again took out the bottle filled with spiritual spring water and handed it in the direction of Qing'er, "I thought it was a big deal to scare you like this." Isn't it just a bottle of water, if you fall, you will fall, what's the big deal, just take another bottle. ”
"But...... But...... But it's the heavenly water! Qing'er looked at the delicate bottle, wanted to take it but didn't dare to stretch out her hand, "Such a magical thing, Miss, you are willing to share it with us, we are already grateful to Dade." On weekdays, we are carefully preserved, for fear of wasting a drop, but I ...... I wasted an entire bottle today! If anyone else knows that I have broken the holy water, they don't know how to scold me! Holy Water ......"
As Qing'er was talking, she suddenly stopped talking, hurriedly covered her mouth, forgot to even cry, looked at Xia Yan with wide eyes, and asked, "Xiao ...... Miss, you didn't hear what I just said. ”
"Hear what?" Xia Yan was depressed for a few days, and at this moment, she was actually amused by Qing'er's actions, and couldn't help but tease, "Holy water?" ”
"You...... You hear you! Qing'er stomped her feet anxiously, and then cried again, "What can I do, what can I do, I actually told everyone's secret!" That's it! They're going to be scolding me day and night! ”
It's not Qing'er making a fuss, but the spiritual spring water is the supreme holy thing in their hearts, and there is nothing to replace.
The few of them had already agreed that the name of holy water could only be known to their subordinates, and they must keep it a secret.
Whoever divulges this secret is a traitor to his family.
It wasn't for anything else that she was cautious about, but mainly because she was afraid that the young lady would find out that they had chosen a random name for the holy relic, which would make her unhappy.
In their opinion, it is more important to keep the young lady in a good mood than to have holy water.
But what they didn't know was that Xia Yan had already known about it from their private conversations.
"I'll keep it a secret for you." Looking at Qing'er's anxious appearance, Xia Yan smiled lightly, stretched out his index finger in front of his mouth, and made a silent gesture, "This is a secret between the two of us, and no third person will know." ”
"Really?" Qing'er immediately stopped crying and looked at Xia Yan with wide eyes and surprise.
"When did I lie to you?"
"Miss, you're so nice!" Qing'er wiped her tears, with a pair of red and swollen eyes, and her face was full of gratitude.
"Hurry on." Xia Yan handed over the bottle again, "Send it to Yu'er." ”
"But...... Miss ...... Qing'er took the bottle, but her eyes turned red again, and she glanced at Xia Yan cautiously, "The secret you promised to keep for me has already been known by a third person, can you let him not tell others?" This man...... This person is a little scary, Qing'er doesn't dare to say it......"
"Who is it?" Xia Yan smiled and curled the corners of his mouth, "Could it be that this person is a monster and will eat you?" Tell me who can scare you like this. Don't worry, I will help you instruct him to keep the secret for us. ”
"Yes...... It's ......" Qing'er lowered her head, hesitated, stumbled, and finally spit out the name, "It's Mu Gongzi." ”
"Mu Fan?" Hearing this annoying name, Xia Yan's smile immediately disappeared, "Where did you meet him?" ”
"It's not far from your door." Qing'er pointed out the door, "Qing'er was just walking, but she didn't expect to bump into Mu Gongzi, Qing'er was in a hurry to make amends, and in a panic, she let the bottle fall to the ground." ”
"What is he here for?" Xia Yan couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Qing'er doesn't know, he only said he wanted to see you." Qing'er glanced outside the house, and then peeked at Xia Yan, "Miss, Mu Gongzi is waiting outside your door now, do you want to see him?" ”
"Nope." This answer was crisp and neat, and there was no room for negotiation, "Let's just say that I am sick and don't see any outsiders, if I pass my illness to this master, won't it make the two families ugly?" ”
"Yes......" Qing'er Fu responded, and was about to turn around and go out to speak, but the tears flowed out as if they didn't want money, "But...... Miss ......"
Seeing Qing'er crying again, Xia Yan only felt worried, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"You...... You just promised Qing'er, you want to tell Mu Gongzi and ask him to keep it a secret for us. Qing'er's cry gradually increased, "If you don't go to see him, how can you explain this matter to him?" Qing'er ...... Qing'er didn't dare to talk to Mu Gongzi at all, let alone make conditions with him. Only you and your wife can persuade him in our family, but ...... But if Mrs. Yu knows about this, then ...... That's not a secret between the three of us......"
Listening to Qing'er crying and crying for a long time, Xia Yan only felt that there was a ball of bees buzzing around her, her head swelled, and she couldn't help but say, "Okay, don't cry, I'll go see him." ”
