Walking on the street, Luo Shi was sweating profusely, screaming for the cold wind blowing in the evening, and when she came back to the shop tremblingly, she was already dizzy and dizzy.

Niu Changgeng was the first to see that something was wrong with her, stepped forward to help, and said with concern: "Luo Shi, what's wrong with you?" Why is it so hot! ”

Luo Shi sat down on the edge of the table, took the hot tea poured by Chang Geng, and before she had time to drink it, she asked first:

"Did the pigeons that were sent to the garrison general's mansion fly back later?"

Niu Changgeng shook his head: "No, the pigeon was sent, but it didn't come back."

Luo's eyes darkened, eighty percent of the pigeon had been cooked and eaten, she nodded, and chased:

"You can help me keep an eye on it these days, and if there is no news in the third day, send another one to inquire about General He's illness for me."

"W-What's going on? Didn't you see the old general today? ”

Luo Shi shook her head weakly, with a trace of worry in her eyes, and estimated that Grandpa He had put the woman under house arrest.

General He has a great reputation and is extremely important in the court, but the Jiang family has been running the mansion for many years, and even eighteen aunts and wives can be accepted and obeyed, presumably the whole He mansion only listens to her now.

She is like a flexible and sticky spider web, inadvertently corroded from the inside by He Song, mastered the entire garrison general's mansion little by little, and with the prestige of the He family, she said everything in Tongzhou City, and even Huo Bald became her lackey.

"Oh, you don't care about others first, I'll call you a doctor!"

Niu Changgeng's face was anxious, he turned around to go out to invite Lang Zhong, but he felt that he should help her back to the house to rest first!

Between hesitating and retreating, Uncle Liang paced leisurely at night and walked from his yard.

He was counting the time, and when it was time, he personally came to catch the little cook and go back to cook and eat, and when he saw Luo Shi sitting in the shop from a distance, he opened his mouth and laughed:

"I'm lazy again, and I'll deduct your wages sooner or later - eh, you, what's wrong?"

He was idle and lazy, and he didn't forget to make fun of Luo Shi, but it can be seen that her face was flushed, cold sweat couldn't help oozing from her forehead, and her face couldn't help but sink.

Luo was groggy and snorted twice, feeling colder and colder.

Uncle Liang stepped forward quickly, resolutely picked her up, and walked to his house with a step, seeing that Niu Changgeng was about to stop him, he said in a deep voice: "What are you stopping me from doing?" Go and ask Lang Zhong."

Niu Changgeng scratched his scalp and rushed to the hospital in a muffled voice.

put Luo Shi on the bed, Uncle Liang sent Sang Bai to boil hot water at night, and turned out a thick quilt to cover her.

On this day, the days were warm and the nights were cold, and the cool breeze blew carelessly, saying that she was sick, and she said that she was going to visit the sick in Hefu, why did she come back with a contract?

Uncle Liang doesn't have a maid by his side at night, so instead of letting Niu Changgeng and the sour scholar take care of her, it's better to come by herself, it's a big deal to wait for her to wake up, and be slapped and beaten, that's it!

Stripped her clean, leaving only a plain white undershirt, and wiped the sweat from her neck with a handkerchief.

Another lot of hot water was poured down, and Uncle Liang tucked the quilt for her at night, just waiting for Niu Changgeng to invite the doctor over.

After some diagnosis and treatment, Lang Zhong also said that it didn't matter, it may be caused by palpitations and a cool breeze, lying quietly for a few days, eating a little lighter, and taking medicine according to the prescription for three or five days, and it will be fine.

Uncle Liang paid the consultation fee at night, gave Niu Changgeng a silver bill, and sent him to buy some hot soup and hot noodles.

Niu Changgeng quit, and he said:

"I'm not your servant, why did you send me to buy it? I'm going to take Rashi back to the shop, how can I rest at your house? ”

Uncle Liang glanced at him at night, without much meaning, and said slowly:

"You carry her back to the shop, who will take care of her? Pockets? Or do you do it yourself? She can't make a fire in her yard, if you don't want to buy it, forget it, anyway, she's hungry, I can't be hungry for me, I'll go outside for a while, where can't I make a tooth sacrifice? ”

"I can cook for her!"

"Oh, my house has no firewood, and now the market is dispersed early, and you can't buy it - eh, I said, aren't you a takeaway errand team, I'm a guest, you don't take this business?"

Niu Changgeng is a crop man, how can he talk about Uncle Liang at night with a clumsy mouth, he paced distraughtly, and after a while, he hung his head in resignation and said:

"Good...... I'm going to buy it! ”

With that, he walked away without looking back.

*

When Luo Shi woke up, it was already twilight, and the sky was gradually darkening.

She covered her sweat and felt that the quilt on her body weighed more than ten pounds...... It didn't crush her to death.

Her plain white undershirt was soaked with sweat, sticky and uncomfortably tight, her hair stuck to her neck, and she looked dizzily at her surroundings.

This isn't her attic bedroom!

She was now lying on a pear blossom bed, with a blue bed tent at hand, and the bedding was all new, and it was still a rich brocade satin.

struggled to get up, but saw Uncle Liang kick open the door of the room with one foot, holding a bowl of medicine, and rushed in.

"Shhh

He shook his fingers, kept blowing on his fingertips, and finally caught a glimpse of the three things about the bottle and furnace on the case, so he jumped to the Taishi's chair, hurriedly leaned over, and touched his hand to the cold porcelain bottle.

Feeling the coolness on his fingers, he let out a long sigh.

"I think you'...... Just touch the earlobes next time."

Luo was pale and pale, and when he saw his funny appearance, he didn't hide the smile in his eyes.

Seeing that she was awake at night, Uncle Liang jumped down from the chair with some embarrassment, cleared his throat and said:

"Ahem, are you awake? That's right, hurry up and drink the medicine, drink it and leave immediately, don't occupy my bed, you have the courage to change someone else, and you will throw me out."

He pushed the medicine bowl in disgust, not daring to touch it again, for fear of burning his hands.

Luo Shizhuo pulled her shoes, put on her coat, and walked towards the table, she smiled weakly, with a pale and sick face, her throat was sore and smoking, and she said hoarsely:

"Take care of yourself"

She reached out to hold the medicine bowl, but Uncle Liang did not forget to tell him at night: "Eh, don't burn it"

Luo Shi is perennial with the stove oil fire, naturally not afraid of hot, how many times the oil exploded on the back of her hand, she frowned, wiped it off.

Not everyone is the same as Uncle Liang, his ten fingers don't touch the spring water, not to mention the stove for stir-frying, even the stove door, he rarely goes in.

With long eyebrows and a frown, she frowned and poured a bowl of black Chinese medicine into her stomach.

Whew, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and Luo Shi stuck out his tongue and said:

"It's so bitter, it's so bitter, I want to eat sugar"

"Sugar? You troublesome woman, what kind of candy do you take when you take medicine?"

"Because the medicine is bitter......" looked at him pitifully with a wrinkled little face.

It's rare to see her soft, and after Uncle Liang complained in a muffled voice at night, he still honestly rummaged around, and finally picked out a box of golden silk dates.

Luo Shi threw it into her mouth contentedly, sipped the sweetness, and overshadowed the bitterness on her tongue, and she asked vaguely:

"Do you have a maid?"

"No, just me and Sang Bai, I'm annoying, neither of them came from Taohuadu"

Luo Shi was surprised: "Then who changed my clothes and wiped my body?" ”

"Me"

Uncle Liang replied very honestly, and then jumped away, put his hand on his face, and said as if he were dead:

"Can I not slap my face?"

Luo Shi was startled, choked on dates in her throat, she blushed suddenly, bent down and coughed incessantly-

Uncle Liang hurriedly gave her a smooth breath, but he was also in a hurry: "Hurry, spit it out, is it stuck in the jujube pit?" ”

"Ahem, ahem......"

Seeing that it didn't work, he bent down and reached out and pulled it into her mouth—

Luo Shi was shocked and angry, so she bit off his finger fiercely, and almost didn't bite him off.

Uncle Liang screamed miserably, and hurriedly snatched his fingers from her mouth, but unexpectedly, her lips were soft and very warm, and she sucked very tightly, and when she pulled it out, she brought out a trace of silver thread, only listening to the sound of "pop" water, and the scene was beautiful.

A crisp numbness spread from his fingertips to his lower back, and he was stunned, and his face burned red.

finally calmed down, Luo Shixing's eyes were round, and he said in a puffed voice:

"What are you doing!"

"I, I'll go see if Niu Changgeng bought the noodle soup back!"

Uncle Liang turned his head and left at night, his steps were chaotic as if he was on the run, Luo Shi called him, but he didn't hear it, so he just rushed out.

*

In front of the noodle soup with oil flowers floating, the astringency has no appetite at all.

Niu Changgeng bought back the noodle soup, only one of the astringents, and he didn't care about Uncle Liang and Sang Bai at all, and he couldn't drive them away, so he sat at the round table, and he had to watch the astringent eat them all.

Luo Shi woke up from the stupor of her illness, and what lingered in her mind was the terrible death of the crossing woman.

She was worried in her heart, so she asked Niu Changgeng: "You just went out to buy noodles, have you heard any news about the garrison of the General's Mansion?" ”

Niu Changgeng nodded, and said:

"Yes, I was about to tell you, in the evening, I heard that He Mansion ran out of water and burned an abandoned courtyard, but everyone was fine, and the prefect's yamen knew about it, and Huo Zhifu rushed over as soon as possible."

Luo Shi's eyes sank, and she couldn't understand why she had to burn someone if she killed someone? Even if it is to destroy the corpse, there are many ways.

"So—has anyone lost their young lady?"

"I haven't heard of it, but the old bustard in the red-sleeved building said that the top girl in the building is missing"

When Sang Bai heard this, he couldn't help but laugh at Niu Changgeng: "Seeing that you are usually honest, you never thought of going to the Goolan kiln to be chic?" ”

Niu Changgeng blushed and said calmly and angrily: "There are many takeaways in Qinglou, I am here to run business, not to play!" ”

"The top card of the Qinglou? Is it the woman who came to the election that day and gave Uncle Liang a slap in the face? ”

Uncle Liang had a dark face on the side, obviously unwilling to recall this, and when he heard that he was still a kiln sister, he felt even more unhappy.

Niu Changgeng shook his head: "I don't know if it's or not, but I just heard from the old bustard that this girl is very special, she can sing and compose poems, many guests like her, and it didn't take long to enter the Qinglou to become the head of the family."

Luo Shi lowered her head and didn't speak, and decided in her heart that the crossing girl bought the Qinglou package, and she brought a copy of 300 Tang poems and crossed over, but it was too eye-catching in the Qinglou, and the "hunter" found out, so she was killed.

Thinking of the white-faced little student that Huo Bald respectfully ushered in, saying that he was doing things for the people in the capital, who is this "hunter"?

She herself opened a lady's snack shop, and wrote Jin Yong's martial arts book for the teahouse, how to hide the limelight again? She must have been exposed to the eyes of the "hunters......

How to take her life, when to end her with a fire, she didn't even have the idea of resisting.

Putting down the chopsticks, she couldn't eat a single bite of this noodles, and she couldn't help but think of what Jiang said to her today: I really want to cooperate with you, maybe you will find that this choice is the wisest now.

Now that she thinks about it, it seems that Jiang doesn't want her to die like that, maybe Jiang is also a hunter's minions, but obviously she also has her own minds, otherwise, she would not have offered to cooperate with her, and she should have something she values in herself.

Perhaps, Jiang is the key to her life?
