Chapter 44: Illusory Beauty

She didn't let her mother help, saying that others didn't know the severity, and it was better for her to know how much strength to use by herself. She asked Aoki to bring another basin and wash it again and change the water, saving all the water from one basin at a time.

As a result, after washing a basin of water and washing off the ointment, the skin underneath was really as Chrysanthemum feared - red meat rolled!

In the dim light, the Yang family and Aoki were stunned! Even if they were used to seeing Chrysanthemum's ugly face on weekdays, they were frightened by the terrifying situation on Chrysanthemum's face in front of them.

Yang bit her lip stubbornly, but she couldn't suppress the sourness in her heart, and finally rushed to her head, her eyes were full of tears, and she choked out, her body shook, and she almost fainted, but Zheng Changhe helped her; Zheng Changhe himself was also with a broken face, and the two of them supported each other, sad and sad!

Aoki gritted his teeth, first clenched his fists, then released them, and stepped forward to hold Chrysanthemum's two small hands, conveying his wordless comfort.

Chrysanthemum had already settled down, and she whispered to the three of them: "Dad, mother, brother!" If I had become like this, you would have been upset; But my face is not good, although it is broken now, when Dr. Qin comes to give me medicine, it will be the same as usual when I grow up, how bad can it be? What's there to be sad about? Mother, if you cry, make some chrysanthemum tea, and wash your face well. ”

The three of them saw that Chrysanthemum said such a thing calmly and calmly, and what they said was very reasonable, and they also arranged it, and they felt a lot better.

Yang wiped his tears and said with a crying voice: "Then I'll go and soak some chrysanthemum water." ”

Aoki said, "I'll go find Dr. Qin." It's still early in the morning, and if you don't take the medicine quickly, I'm afraid this face will not be good. ”

Chrysanthemum thinks he's right, this face is ulcerated, and if it is exposed to the air, it will be troublesome if it is infected. So, she said, "Then my brother will go." Be careful. Light a torch and don't fall in the dark and get into trouble. ”

Aoki agreed, and sure enough, he went to the kitchen and lit a torch and went out.

When Qin Feng walked into the Zheng family with the medicine box and Aoki with a cold air, Zheng Changhe and Yang were standing in front of Chrysanthemum's bed, their faces full of distress and anxiety; Chrysanthemum leans on the bed with her eyes closed, with a pillow and a small pillow behind her back.

Qin Feng was also shocked by the terrible situation on Chrysanthemum's face - such a serious ulceration, it seems that Chrysanthemum's pain during the day is attacked, and he insisted on waiting for one night, it is really ......

He regretted and blamed himself in his heart, and he didn't have time to greet Zheng Changhe politely, so he first checked the pulse of the chrysanthemum, and then opened the medicine box, took out the commonly used medicine for trauma, and smeared the chrysanthemum.

Zheng Changhe whispered to Qin Feng: "Doctor Qin, in the middle of the night, I still quarreled with you, it's really embarrassing!" ”

Qin Feng took the medicine with a focused expression, ignored him, and after a while, he stopped when all the festered parts of Chrysanthemum's face were drugged, and said to him reproachfully: "Uncle Zheng, you are scolding me!" If it weren't for me, Chrysanthemum's face wouldn't have been like this. Shouldn't I have come? ”

Yang hurriedly said, "That's not what I said. If Dr. Qin hadn't wanted to cure Chrysanthemum's face, he wouldn't have been able to go all the way to find your master to get medicine. This face is inherently incurable, and no one has stipulated that you must be cured. We don't blame you. ”

Chrysanthemum also said softly: "Doctor Qin, don't blame yourself. My face is like this anyway, and it's nothing. ”

Zheng Changhe and Aoki also nodded repeatedly.

Their simplicity and generosity made Qin Feng even more guilty.

He took out a piece of soft white cotton cloth, carefully wrapped Chrysanthemum's face, tied a knot at the back of his head, and said, "Okay." Wait until the next time you change the dressing to wash your face, and don't wash your face for the next two days. Tomorrow I will prepare another pair of medicines for you to decoction and eat, and it will be better soon. ”

Chrysanthemum nodded, looking at Qin Feng's solemn expression, knowing that his heart was also very uncomfortable, so she said, "Thank you, Doctor Qin." I'm really fine! If you find a new way in the future, come and help me heal. ”

Qin Feng knew that she was comforting herself, and she couldn't help but smile.

Suddenly, his smile froze at the corners of his mouth, and he didn't feel it when he was close just now, but now after applying the medicine and retreating, he was shocked to find that the girl in front of him was so beautiful: her eyes were covered by a white cloth, and above the white cloth were two eyes like clear springs; Under the swaying of the dim light, the two springs were deep and calm, with rippling waves, and together with the smooth forehead, they formed a mysterious and hazy beauty, which made people can't help but have the urge to tear off the white veil and peek at all her face.

This piece of white cloth is so magical that it has become the dividing line between the ugliest and the most beautiful!

Seeing him looking at him in a daze, Chrysanthemum called out strangely and softly, "Doctor Qin? ”

Qin Feng was awakened by her voice, looking at the poor little girl in front of her, who was both ugly and beautiful, her heartstrings fluttered, and she only felt that God was so cruel that she was allowed to endure such torture at such a young age. He suddenly had an irrepressible urge to restore this beauty to its own devices!

He stared into her eyes and said softly but firmly, "I will surely heal you." ”

Chrysanthemum was a little grateful but inexplicable when she heard this-why did you swear so well? It's not something that can be promised casually.

The Yang couple and Aoki who were standing behind Qin Feng were obviously stunned by the mysterious and hazy beauty of the chrysanthemum after their faces were covered, which made them even more unbearable and unacceptable than seeing the skin and flesh of the chrysanthemum after washing off the ointment just now!

Yang's tears poured out - her chrysanthemums were so beautiful, but ......

Zheng Changhe took her hand, and the man also screamed in his heart: "My chrysanthemums are good-looking, they are good-looking......"

Aoki clenched his fists tightly - his sister was even better looking than Liu'er! But why is God so ruthless and ruins half of my sister's face?

The three of them couldn't bear the result, the Yang family was in a trance, Zheng Changhe was also depressed, only Aoki couldn't bear the sadness, kept Qin Feng, and didn't let him go back in the dark in the middle of the night, so he squeezed a bed with Aoki.

In the remaining half of the night, the people of the Zheng family, except for chrysanthemums, are destined to lose sleep. The beauty behind the veil in their minds lingers, and this stark contrast of beauty and ugliness makes people feel the pain of digging their hearts and livers.

For this reason, Yang cried until dawn, crying wet pillow towel and swollen eyes.

Zheng Changhe put his arm around his daughter-in-law's shoulders and helped her wipe her tears. But the tears can't be wiped away, and this man is also very miserable in his own heart. He couldn't cry like a mother-in-law, holding it back like this was even more uncomfortable than his daughter-in-law. I complained in my heart that God didn't make him a leper face, so that he could change his daughter's face.

The next morning, it happened to be the day when Lao Cheng, who was driving the car, went to the market to help people transport goods. Yang asked Aoki to pick up the vegetables to be sold today to the entrance of the village, sent them to Lao Cheng's car, and asked him to send them to Fuxi Grocery Store to be sold by Laixi, and told him that because the chrysanthemums were a little uncomfortable, he would not go to the market today.

In the next few days, the Yang family took care of Chrysanthemum at home and didn't let her do her work, saying that the injury on her face was too serious and she had to take care of it.

Chrysanthemum's uncle heard about Chrysanthemum, so he asked Laixi to help his aunt with all his might, and ushered in the one sent every day, so that Yang didn't worry about it, so that she could free up her free time to take care of Chrysanthemum at home. Uncle Yang Defa also took the time to come to visit the chrysanthemum in person. When he saw the chrysanthemum like this, he also sighed.

Chrysanthemum reluctantly followed her father's arrangement and recuperated at home.

However, she used to be busy all day, but now that she is resting, she itches her hands, picks up the needle and thread, and makes a small jacket for her father and mother, ready to wear it in the spring; made two more pairs of shoes, although they were not very decent, but Zheng Changhe couldn't stop smiling.

After the festering area on her face formed a crust clip, she thought about making a face towel and wrapping it around when she went out.

She remembers hearing a sentence in her previous life, "It's not your fault to be ugly, it's your fault to be ugly and scary." It's classic, and it's ruthless to hit people.

She still shouldn't be scary, it's even worse to frighten the little baby, so let's put a scarf around her face in the future.

So she made a face towel out of the cloth that was left over from the quilt cover and put it around her face. Much better than the white cloth - the white cloth on the face is like a dead man!

This scarf is a light green bamboo branch pattern, which sets off her picturesque eyebrows, elegant temperament, quiet, even if she has seen her beauty, her father and brother are still at a loss again - this kind of beauty is not what a country girl should have, it is different from Liu'er and Meizi.

They can't understand the meaning of the world, and they can't describe the temperament of chrysanthemums.

Moreover, the chrysanthemum had just experienced the pain of molting, and her face was covered with a white cloth, so the beauty was a little bleak and rigid; Now, the chrysanthemums covered with this light green scarf are swaying quietly like flowers, but they are full of vitality, light like butterflies, and they are constantly circling in front of their eyes......

They were both happy and sad: this beauty was alive, yet illusory; I can see it, but it doesn't exist at all, all because of the ugliness covered by the scarf and face scarf!

This contradictory feeling makes the family full of grievances, regrets and misery; Yang always carried chrysanthemums on his back to secretly wipe his tears, and he always had to cry at night to fall asleep. She felt like she was going to shed all the tears of her life.

After a few days, they gradually got used to the beautiful chrysanthemums covered with face covers, and they no longer thought about the messy feelings.

After a blow, Chrysanthemum no longer thinks about her face, and pays attention to her small business again.

However, as the weather became more and more cold, the number of vegetables sold every day also decreased a lot. It's really that there are few people who go out on a cold day. Although the countrymen are poor, in winter, there are still many cats who spend the winter at home!

The people who buy vegetables every day have become people from Xiatangji and nearby villages, but there are few people working in Erlipu. There were a lot of leftover vegetables for several days, and they were distributed to Xiaoshi and Zhang Huai's family, and the village chief's family also sent them a few times.

Chrysanthemum reduced the amount of vegetables per day by more than half, and the excess water and pig's head were pickled. She had a feeling that this thing would definitely not be enough to sell next spring, and it would be better to stock up on more goods.

Chrysanthemum has endured such a blow, don't the beauties vote for some recommendation to comfort her?
