Chapter 121: Late Night Visitors
The pomegranate blossoms in the garden bloomed among the green branches and leaves, like a string of fiery red bells hanging on the half-open window eaves, red like fire, like gorgeous silk.
Not far away, Gu Jingfeng, who was dressed in a short game under the scorching sun, really knelt on the broken tablet, and with a solemn expression, he took the axe in his hand and split the wood into a square plank, and then little by little on it with the knife in his hand, engraved the words, one board and one eye, the scorching sun was scorching, sweat was like rain, Wei Liang was afraid that he would be hit on the head by the heat, so he kindly supported an umbrella for him, Rao is so, and now Gu Jingfeng's body is also soaked, and the short shirt on his chest and back is attached to his body, and he is sweaty.
Shen Qingwu sat under the window, holding a bowl of freshly cooled sour plum soup in his hand and drinking it now, looking at Gu Jingfeng not far away, Shen Qingwu was ruthless, and couldn't stop rubbing the dishes in his hand.
"Madam, the sun is poisoning outside, and Guard Wu's legs are sick, so I'm afraid I can't stand it if I kneel like this!"
"Yes, miss, you see that he is hot like that, blame the pitiful, or spare him, the general's tablet can be made by someone, don't hurt people's lives, it's not good."
Su Xin and Su Ge stood on the left and right sides of Shen Qingwu, looking at "Wu Dong" outside through the open window, they were very anxious, and the two couldn't stop persuading Shen Qingwu in his ear.
"It was he who came to bear the guilt, and I didn't tie him up, he was cheap, what can I do, I don't believe it, you go and drive him away now, people will definitely not want to leave now." There was a huge ice cube in the blue and white vat in the room to cool down, Shen Qingwu pursed her lips and muttered softly after hearing the words of the two girls.
After Su Xin and Su Ge heard Shen Qingwu's words, they glanced at each other, and then hurriedly ran out, Su Singer also carried a bowl of sour plum soup with ice cubes, handed it to "Wu Dong", and persuaded "Madame has spoken, you can go, don't kneel anymore, this day is too big, if you kneel again, you will suffer from heat stroke, drink this bowl of sour plum soup first, after drinking it, go back, we assure you, Madame will not be angry again, your sincerity, Madame has seen it." ”
After Su Singer put the sour plum soup in his hand into the hands of "Wu Dong", "Wu Dong" took two mouthfuls in his hand and drank the big bowl of sour plum soup.
Su Xin frowned, and said softly to "Wu Dong", "Is there an injury on your leg, why is there bleeding there?" ”
The scabbed wound was torn and blood flowed out when he knelt on the broken tablet on that side, "Wu Dong" pursed his lips and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's all old wounds." ”
"Then you get up quickly, you can go, Madame is not a person with a small belly, she just has a child in her belly now, and her temper has become more eccentric, after you go back, find a craftsman, just make a new spiritual position for the general, and worship it well, Madame's temperament will soon be gone."
Su Xin looked at the small pool of blood on the ground, and knew that this man was just perfunctory, and the injury on his leg was not light.
"Thank you for the kindness of the two girls, the little one's own body, the little one's own know, you just have to serve at the side of the lady, I will engrave the general's tablet, so that the lady can take a good breath."
Gu Jingfeng knew that Su Ge and Su Xin were two good girls, and he was grateful for their kindness, so he only spoke to them sincerely and humbly, and then continued to kneel there, and began to carve the wooden plaque under his hand again.
Looking at the only "Wu Dong", the two girls looked at each other, and finally sighed, left "Wu Dong's" side, and returned to the room.
Su Xin and Su Ge Shen Qingwu hid under the window to see it clearly, when she saw the two girls come back with their heads drooping, Shen Qingwu hurriedly left from the window, making a look of not caring about himself, holding the Buddhist scriptures in his hand and looking at them at a glance.
"What? A piece of kindness in vain? Shen Qingwu pretended to put down the scripture book in his hand, raised his lips and smiled.
"I don't know what Wu Dong thinks, his legs are bleeding when he kneels, and after drinking a bowl of sour plum soup, he is the same as if he was strong, and he is really a fool there." Su Ge's mouth was fast, and as soon as Shen Qingwu's words came out, he replied to Shen Qingwu.
Shen Qingwu then remembered that the new wound on Gu Jingfeng's leg that was mottled like a centipede, and the wound was scabbed, but I was afraid that kneeling now was because the wound had cracked.
"Bitter Meat Trick!" Shen Qingwu couldn't stop muttering in his mouth.
"You went to find medicine for him, and if he likes to kneel, let him kneel, anyway, no one will feel sorry if he kneels to death!" Rao is like this, Shen Qingwu still opened his mouth to Su Ge and Su Xin, and after the words fell, he lay directly on the embroidery bed behind him, took the silk quilt in his hand, and directly covered his face, no longer thinking about Gu Jingfeng who was using bitter meat.
Now, Shen Qingwu's sleepiness came very quickly, but after lying on the bed for a while, he had already fallen asleep, Su Ge and Su Xin, who were standing outside the embroidery bed, each glanced at each other, Su Xin still found the wound medicine, and walked outside and handed it to "Wu Dong", who was kneeling there and was now very serious.
"Madame gave it to you, you said you, you are a big man and Madame a female streamer, what is true, it is really ......" After putting the medicine to stop bleeding on the ground, Su Ge brought some food and drink and put it beside him, and finally took a look at each other, and went to the house to serve Shen Qingwu.
Gu Jingfeng looked at the wound medicine on the ground, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly, with a sense of joy, and secretly thought to himself in his heart, his little wife still has her own, and she knelt in vain.
Dragging his sore feet, Gu Jingfeng sat down cautiously, tore the fabric on his trouser legs, sprinkled hemostatic powder on the cracked scab, and then sat on the somewhat hot bluestone slab and continued the work in his hands.
Occasionally, when I was thirsty and hungry, I poured the food left by Su Ge into my stomach, and under the scorching sun, I sat all the way to the sunset, and my hand was cut several times because of my unskill, and I never carved the tablet in my hand, but I was sitting, but the wound had stopped bleeding, and when the sun fell, it was not so hot, and the slight night breeze was mixed with a hint of coolness, and Gu Jingfeng became more and more serious.
Shen Qingwu didn't even sleep with lunch this night, she slept sweetly and steadily, Su Ge and Su Xin couldn't bear to wake her up, until the sunset, the moment Shen Qingwu woke up, I thought it was early in the morning, the sun had not yet risen, lying on the bed for a while, before I remembered what time it was, the state of confusion, so that Su Ge and Su Xin covered their lips and couldn't stop laughing.
"Madame, come and eat, you have a good night's sleep, and your stomach is already growling with hunger." The meals Wei Liang had already prepared, they were all Shen Qingwu's favorite food, and he specially stewed a mountain ginseng chicken soup for Shen Qingwu.
Shen Qingwu was hungry and swallowed the chicken soup that Su Ge brought to him that night, but when he turned around and was about to sit down, he caught a glimpse of the figure outside, and the chicken soup in his mouth almost didn't squirt out, "Why is he still kneeling there, doesn't he say that the wound is bleeding, he is really not afraid of death?" ”
Shen Qingwu never thought that Gu Jingfeng was still carving the wooden board in his hand there, as if he was on the bar with himself, and he couldn't help but because of the good mood that he had made up for his good sleep, he was all of a sudden agitation.
"The slave and maid sent the medicine over, he is not kneeling now, he is sitting there, but he has done it now, he has been carving, and he has been scratched several times on his hand, and he has suffered a lot of hardship, and that person has a very strange temper and stubbornness, and he doesn't listen to anything, so he is carved there."
After Su Ge added a bowl of rice to Shen Qingwu, he muttered softly to Shen Qingwu, Shen Qingwu only pulled the food into his mouth after hearing this, and there was no response, after eating a meal, he freshened up and renewed, and changed into a spacious middle coat on his body, Shen Qingwu fell asleep, and did not feel sleepy, so he leaned on the chaise longue to enjoy the coolness, holding a Heart Sutra in his hand, and watched there.
Since Gu Jingfeng's funeral, Shen Qingwu often holds Buddhist scriptures in her hands, either copying them, or holding them in her hands to look at them, meditating, otherwise she doesn't know what she should do every day, and now, Gu Jingfeng is back again, just outside, just a stone's throw away, Shen Qingwu's habit can't be changed for a while.
After reading the scriptures for a long time, Su Xin and Su Ge, who were guarding beside them, were already sleepy and dozing off, Shen Qingwu didn't want to embarrass them, so she just let them go to sleep quickly, they were used to Shen Qingwu's lifestyle, so they naturally obediently walked outside and closed the door.
Gu Jingfeng was still sitting there carving wooden boards, Shen Qingwu saw from a distance, one of his legs stretched straight there, and he moved his stiff waist board unconsciously, looking very difficult, occasionally he was still there to drive away mosquitoes, thinking about coming to the green trees around, it should be surrounded by a lot of mosquitoes and feeding a lot of stomachs.
After lazily raising the scripture in his hand and reading it for a while, Shen Qingwu's sleepiness swept over, and he planned to turn off the light and go to the embroidery bed to rest, but when he first walked to the oil lamp, the lamp shook for no reason, and then a sharp and cold dagger was placed on Shen Qingwu's neck.
"Girl, I have no intention of hurting people's lives, I am just in trouble for a while, I hope the girl will not make a sound, just let me dodge for a while!" The voice was weak and the accent was a bit heavy, not like a local, Shen Qingwu also smelled a strong smell of blood, thinking that the person behind him should have been injured, and the injury was not light.
