Chapter 13: The Past
When it was dark, it was raining heavily, the barracks were shabby, the violent rain outside the window crackled against the window eaves, and the fine raindrops slowly fell into the basin from the roof, like knocking on people's hearts. Lu Muqing was lying on the bed, his brows were tightly locked, his eyes were closed, the beads of sweat on his forehead were fine and dense, and his throat sometimes let out painful moans, like torn brocade, tragic and dilapidated.
The fire was raging in the dream, and the fire soaked everything like blood. The fire probes abandoned the building under the order and were doing quarantine work, they removed trees and flowers, demolished the attic of the thatched hut, and the noisy noise almost buried Lu Muqing's crying.
He was less than ten years old at the time, and he still had a bun on top of his head.
He knelt down in front of the firefighters and wept bitterly: "Please, save my father and mother, and my sister, I heard their shouting, they are still alive!" He knelt all the way over, and everyone only sighed and comforted, and no one was willing to help him.
Who can — risk their lives to save others?
He watched the building collapse completely, listened to the last screams of his parents and sister disappear, and lost all the warmth and joy of the world. Beads of sweat and tears sank into his sideburns, soaking the pillow, and he finally whimpered.
Shi Kuizhi twisted the towel and carefully wiped his cheeks for Lu Muqing, his movements were like a little lady, light and soft, and his demeanor was full of pity. Jia Chongjiu came in from outside, followed by a medical woman, who was holding half a bowl of soup and medicine in her hand.
Shi Kuizhi hurriedly got up, stepped aside, and said politely: "I'm tired of Doctor Shen." ”
Shen Shenbi put down the decoction, stretched out his hand to probe Lu Muqing's forehead, and said, "The pills prescribed by Imperial Doctor Tang can be fed to him?" Shi Kuizhi nodded, his face sad, "I ate three, and the fever has subsided." He kept dreaming and didn't wake up. ”
Jia Chongjiu was much more optimistic than them, and said with a smile: "Lord Lu has always been in good health, and he has saved people in the fire more than once or twice, and it will definitely be good to raise him for a few days, don't worry about it, treat him as a little lady." He pushed Lu Muqing on the bed again, and Lu Muqing woke up suddenly, the sadness on his face suddenly faded, and he still looked solemn and mighty.
Jia Chongjiu had a hippie smile, "It's time to take medicine!" ”
Lu Muqing struggled to get up, and Shen Shenbi wanted to help, but unexpectedly, Shi Kuizhi took the lead and sat up with Lu Muqing half-armed. Lu Muqing drank the medicine, thanked Shen Shenbi, and asked, "How about those two people?" ”
He was talking about the two subordinates rescued by the Mei Mansion.
Shen Shenbi smiled, her admiration for him was almost written on her face, "They are fine, don't worry." With that, he packed up his things and went out. lifted the curtain and almost collided with someone, but the person who came didn't mind, turned sideways and let her go first. Entering the house, Ling Mengchu glanced at Lu Muqing, and suddenly burst out laughing, "Are you a monk?" The eyebrows are all shaved! ”
Shi Kuizhi sank his face, "Was it burned by fire when saving people, isn't it funny?" ”
Ling Mengchu hooked Shi Kuizhi's shoulder and touched his face, Shi Kuizhi bent down in disgust to dodge it, and slashed out his eyes. Ling Mengchu laughed more and more, pointing at Shi Kuizhi and then at Lu Muqing, "You are really like a couple......
Shi Kuizhi almost kicked over, "Nonsense! ”
Lu Mu said quietly, "Kui Zhi's temperament is docile and serious, don't make fun of him." Shi Kuizhi had a fever on his face inexplicably, and picked up the two dirty clothes at the head of the bed and went out. Ling Meng first saw his cowardly appearance, and he felt even more interesting.
