Chapter 899: Little Man Nine
Xi Le'an and Qu Jingfu sneaked into a ready-to-wear shop, each changed into a set of clothes, and then chose two sets of clothes to pack and take away, leaving a silver ingot on the counter of the shop. It was already late, and it was impossible for the two of them to go to the inn to stay overnight, so Xi Le'an found an empty house where no one lived, and the two of them rested in it for a while.
Early the next morning, the two of them finished breakfast and purchased some dry food, bought a relatively simple carriage, and left the capital.
Xi Le'an will not drive the carriage, but Qu Jingfu will. Well, in fact, he can drive an ox cart, and he once helped others drive an ox cart before entering the palace, and he has a certain amount of experience in driving a car. Although the horse is not a cow, after a period of running-in, Qu Jingfu's carriage to marry a girl is very smooth.
The direction of the two people out of the city was the direction where the mass grave was located, and the mass grave was quite far away from the official road, but when they passed the mass grave, both of them looked in the direction of the mass grave for a long time.
Xi Le'an sighed deeply and said to Qu Jingfu: "Don't look at it, let's go quickly, and strive to reach the next town before dark." I don't want to sleep in the wild. ”
"Oh." Qu Jingfu waved his whip and asked the horse to speed up.
Suddenly, a figure jumped out of the way and stopped in front of the carriage.
Qu Jingfu hurriedly pulled the horse, causing the carriage to stop in front of the figure. The figure seemed frightened and fainted to the ground.
Qu Jingfu and Xi Le'an jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the person to investigate his condition, although they knew that the person was not knocked down by their own carriage, but a big living person fainted in front of him, and it was impossible to turn a blind eye.
turned the person over, and the man's face appeared in the eyes of the two, and both of them recognized who this person was, that is, the youngest servant in the East Palace.
"Isn't this Gou Qingqi?" Qu Jingfu said the name of the servant.
"Do you recognize him?" Sile Ann asked. He also knew the servant, but he knew it, and he didn't know the name of the servant.
Qu Jingfu nodded: "After I bumped into him in the courtyard once, I talked to him and knew his name." ”
Qu Jingfu had a good impression of this servant, and seeing that he was unconscious, he hurriedly said to Xi Le'an: "Le'an, you can help him take a look and see what is wrong with him." ”
Xi Le'an looked at the young man's red cheeks, and even if he didn't need to check his pulse, he knew that he had a fever.
"I have a fever, I think my body is too weak, I have injuries on my body, and I have a fever after lying in a mass grave all night and suffering from the cold." Xile Andao.
Qu Jingfu looked at Xi Le'an with a pleading eye, and said, "Le'an......"
Xi Le'an tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "Let's move people into the carriage." ”
I have already saved this young man once, and now I have the fate to bump into it again, but fortunately I saved it to the end.
Qu Jingfu was happy: "I know that Le'an has the best heart." This Gou Qingqi can live, and you gave him fake death medicine, right? ”
Xi Le'an nodded and admitted: "I fed the extra five pills to five people, Gou Qingli is one of them, and Xiao Dengzi and Deshun are four." Xiao Dengzi's body is better than this child's body, and I left some silver for them, thinking that as long as they don't reveal their identities, they should be able to live well. ”
Qu Jingfu smiled, with an expression of "I can see through you": "Le'an is always so hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. ”
He's not hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, he's just, just, ...... Well, he does have a hard mouth and a soft heart.
Qu Jingfu moved the servant Gou Qingli into the carriage, and Xi Le'an took out a fever reducer from the space and fed it to Gou Qingli's mouth, and gave it to him with water. He took out a bottle of ointment for treating external injuries and handed it to Qu Jingfu, and said to him: "You give him medicine for injuries, and by the way, take off all his clothes and throw them away." After spending the night in a mass grave, I don't know how many germs were contaminated with my clothes, but I can't wear them for the sick. ”
"Oh, good." Qu Jingfu did as Xi Le'an told him very obediently, and Xi Le'an took the whip and drove the carriage forward. After watching Qu Jingfu drive the carriage and control the horses for a long time, he has learned how to drive the carriage. He is not used to taking care of people, preferring to do the work of driving cars.
In the carriage, Qu Jingfu stripped Gou Qingqi according to Xi Le'an's instructions, wiped his body and wounds with water, applied medicine to the wounds, and then wrapped Gou Qingques tightly with a newly bought quilt to make him sweat and reduce fever.
After doing all this, Qu Jingfu exited the carriage and sat next to Xi Le'an.
Xi Le'an glanced at him, took out a fruit from the bamboo basket and handed it to Qu Jingfu. The fruit was pears, and when I passed by the market in the morning, I saw someone selling it again, and Xi Le'an directly bought all the fruits in a basket of people.
Qu Jingfu took a bite of the fruit, and the sweet and sour juice fell into his stomach through his throat, making Qu Jingfu squint his eyes with satisfaction. When he was in the East Palace, he didn't even eat the fruit once. When I was at home, I never ate such delicious fruits, and I ate all the wild fruits in the mountains, which were extremely sour and astringent, so I couldn't eat them often.
"It's delicious." Qu Jingfu sighed, "It would be nice if I could often eat such delicious fruits in the future." ”
Xi Le'an said: "If you meet a fruit seller on the road, let's buy it and eat whatever you want." ”
Qu Jingfu half-squinted his eyes happily: "Such a day is so happy." Le'an, let's buy more watermelons, grapes and lychees, I heard those palace maids say that these three fruits are the most delicious. ”
Xi Le'an: "You will choose, but these grapes and lychees, we are difficult to eat along the way, but watermelon, you can also encounter them." ”
Qu Jingfu didn't know why, and asked, "Why can't grapes and lychees be eaten?" ”
Xi Le'an said: "Grapes are grown in the Western Regions, and lychees are grown in the south, both of which took a lot of manpower and material resources to be transported to the capital and sent to the palace. ”
Qu Jingfu let out an "ah", quite disappointed.
Xi Le'an spoke again: "If you really want to eat, we can go to the South and the Western Regions for a trip, so that you can eat enough locally." ”
Qu Jingfu waved his hand when he heard this: "Forget it, I just want to find my relatives and find a place to settle down, I don't want to wander around." ”
"Then you won't have a blessed seat." Xi Le'an spread his hands.
The two men passed the time talking, taking turns swinging their horsewhips to drive the car, and finally entered a town in the evening, and stopped in front of an inn.
Booked a medium-sized room that could accommodate two or three people, Qu Jingfu hugged Gou Qingli and followed Xi Le'an into the room.
"I never thought I'd be able to stay at a guest house one day." Qu Jingfu put down Gou Qingqi, looked around the room, and sighed, "Only rich people can stay in the inn." ”
