Chapter 57
By the time Qin Chu was busy and finally sent a couple of newcomers into the cave room, it was almost evening.
Rubbing his sore neck and doing a few simple stretching exercises, Qin Chu packed up his things and left.
As soon as she entered the house, Yuan Niang had already prepared hot water. When she came out of a comfortable hot bath, Ah Cheng was already waiting in the hall.
It turned out that the woman rescued in the morning was suffering from a miscarriage caused by poor recuperation, and although the person had not woken up, it was no longer life-threatening, but her family had not yet claimed it.
Originally, Qin Chu thought that a good heart would be considered a complete merit here. Unexpectedly, he got himself into trouble and came back.
"Miss Qin, thank you for saving your life, the concubine is beyond repayment, and I am willing to be a cow and a horse to repay your great kindness."
Qin Chu looked at Fu Lin's who was constantly kowtowing in the courtyard, and suddenly felt that his head was big for a while.
"It's just a whim to save you, and besides, I don't lack cattle or horses, so get up quickly."
At that time, it was completely out of kindness, but now it has become a hot potato.
"Miss Qin, please take me in, I will really die if I go back to that home, the Fu family is not human, Fu Jilin forced me to pick up customers to make money...... They also poured saffron on me, and I was not allowed to recuperate at all after a miscarriage, and let me do embroidery work day and night...... Later, when they saw that I was really sick, and I was afraid that the dirty things they did would be known by others, they wanted me to fend for myself, and I tried my best to escape......." Fu Lin thought of that nightmarish existence, and slammed his head in despair.
Although the Fu family's behavior was indeed shameful, when he thought of Yang Zhengming's warning at the beginning, Qin Chu still hardened his heart: "I can't control your affairs." As he spoke, he poured out a few pieces of broken silver from his purse, "There is some money here, you better go and heal your body first."
This is already the limit of what she can do for her.
Fu Lin raised his broken forehead, his face was as pale as a blank piece of paper, and he looked at the silver handed over by Qin Chu in a daze for a long time, his eyes quickly turned gray, and he muttered, "Thank you Miss Qin for your kindness."
It's her extravagant hope, and no one can save her......
Qin Chu glanced at the silver in his palm and her weak back, sighed, and turned back to the house.
"Girl-" Qing'er behind her suddenly exclaimed, "She fainted."
Well, there's no need to drive people out now.
Several people worked together to carry people into the house, and they invited doctors and decoctions, and they were busy surviving, and the people on the bed woke up faintly.
"Miss Qin, you're causing trouble......" Fu Lin opened his eyes and saw Qin Chu guarding the side, lifted the quilt, and was about to get up with his hard crutches on the bed.
Qin Chu stopped her from getting out of bed: "You first recuperate here for two days, and then leave when you get better."
As he was talking, he suddenly heard the gongs and drums outside, and was about to go out to see the situation, when he saw Ah Cheng rushing in from outside, and said excitedly: "Girl, the army is back."
Qin Chu was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, he bypassed Ah Cheng and ran out quickly.
When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I stopped again.
hesitated to go to the barracks to inquire about the situation, but felt that it was inappropriate. I wanted to go back to the house and wait for news, but I was upset. I could only stop and listen to the people on the street talking, feeling as if I could know more about Yang Zhengming.
"Did you hear that? This time, General Guo personally led 80,000 troops, annihilated more than 100,000 remnants of the previous dynasty in one fell swoop, and captured the prince of the former dynasty alive."
"You know a lot, huh? Don't fool us, right? ”
"You don't know anything about this, let me tell you, a cousin of my cousin's daughter-in-law's nephew is a housekeeper in General Guo's mansion, and the news came back yesterday."
“……”
Fortunately, hearing that they meant that the battle had been won, Qin Chu's heart was a little relieved. I just don't know how Yang Zhengming is doing, is he injured?
In my heart, it was like carrying fifteen buckets to fetch water, seven up and eight down. Just as he was thinking wildly, he heard a familiar deep voice in his ear: "What do you think? ”
When I looked up, I saw the person who was thinking about it day and night standing in front of me, and he lost weight! On the thin cheeks, the thick beard had not had time to trim, and the bloodshot eyes stared at her for a moment......
"Miss you!" Qin Chu replied crisply, threw himself into his arms without hesitation, and hugged the person tightly.
"Hmm-" The people in the street rushed and let out a good-natured boo.
"So many people are watching...... Yang Zhengming pricked his hands and looked at her with a smile and tears.
Qin Chu wiped his face as he spoke, and stubbornly reached out and dragged his two arms around his waist. "I don't care, whoever likes to laugh will laugh, what's wrong with me hugging my own man!"
"Good". Yang Zhengming was helpless, "Then you have to let me go back and change my clothes first."
Afraid that Qin Chu would be worried, as soon as he arrived at the barracks, he rushed over without even having time to change his clothes, and was severely ridiculed by those brothers for this. But as long as you can see the person who thinks about it day and night for the first time, it's not a big deal to laugh at it.
Qin Chu was reminded by him and found that he was still wearing clothes on the battlefield at the moment, covered in blood, even if the weather was cold, he could faintly smell the fishy stench emanating from him.
"I'll let Qing'er boil water."
"No need". Yang Zhengming grabbed her arm, "The general is going to have a banquet in the evening, I don't want to be absent, and I have to go back to talk to my mother in a while."
"Oh......"
Yang Zhengming saw that she was lost, rubbed the top of her head, and said in a low voice, "I'll come back to see you later."
Sending Yang Zhengming away, Qin Chu's mood instantly soared, and he ran back to the yard with a sigh, shouting one after another: "Yuan Niang, Qing'er, Ah Cheng, go grocery shopping, let's have a good meal at night to celebrate."
Ah Cheng stood under the porch and asked with a smile: "I don't know what the girl's delicious food refers to?" ”
Qin Chu has always advocated the combination of meat and vegetables, and the green vegetables and meat at home have never been broken, for Ah Cheng, who has not been full of food and clothing since he was a child, he really doesn't know what could be better.
"Stupid Ah Cheng!" Qing'er answered on the side: "What the girl likes to eat, what is naturally delicious."
Yuan Niang also laughed, knocked Qing'er's forehead and quipped: "You are clever!" ”
In the evening, a table of dishes was ready, Qin Chu asked Yuan Niang to pick a few light things to send to the Lin family to the room, and a few people sat at the table and began to eat.
"Qin Qin ......"
As soon as Qin Chu picked up the wine glass, he saw Guo Ying come in with a sad face.
"What's wrong?" Qin Chu was puzzled, it stands to reason that her father won the battle, and their family should be happy.
Looking sideways behind her, he saw that she was the only one, and guessed that he might have snuck out again.
"Qin Qin, you have no conscience." Guo Ying looked at the table of dishes on the table, and complained dissatisfiedly: "I'm sad to be like this, you actually made such a table of dishes here!" ”
Qin Chu suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. "Who provoked our Miss Guo?"
Maybe he was really in a bad mood, Guo Ying didn't care about other people in the house at all, and sat beside Qin Chu and complained: "I heard my mother and Mama Liu say that she mentioned it to her father when she returned home."
What to mention, it goes without saying.
"The point is, my cousin's inquiries didn't turn out well." Guo Ying said, looking like Qin Chu who had not spoken.
Qin Chu nodded, indicating that he was listening.
"He said that the son of the Wang family has no handle, but his reputation has always been very good, and it is estimated that when my mother and my father tell me, this matter will basically be decided."
"This ......" Qin Chu scratched his head, "Why don't you wait for your father to return home, and you confess to him first?" ”。
"How's that going to work?" Guo Ying looked disapproving: "You don't know, although my father usually cares for me, he is also extremely strict with our sisters, if you know me...... I have to compromise my leg."
"Since your cousin didn't inquire about anything wrong, it means that Wang Gongzi is really good, otherwise you should have left."
"You ......" Guo Ying looked indignant, "You are still not my good sister after all!" ”
At this time, they began to call each other brothers......
"Why don't you let me eat first?" Qin Chu discussed: "My brain is not good when I am hungry."
Guo Ying also knew that it was not good to disturb others at this time, so he reluctantly compromised: "You promised me to find a way for me after eating."
"Hmm".
Seeing Qin Chu nodding, he said to Yuan Niang opposite: "Add me a bowl of rice too."
……
After eating, Qin Chu looked at Guo Ying, who was flushed, and had a headache.
This girl is really bold. After sitting down, he saw that there was wine on the table, and began to pull Qin Chu to drink again. A pot of good daughter red was drunk by her alone.
“…… forced me to be anxious, so I said to my father, no one will marry, and you will not marry, let's be good friends for life together."
Qin Chu looked at Qin Chu, who was already drunk, and snatched the wine jug in her hand and persuaded: "You are already drunk, you can't drink anymore."
"I'm not drunk, I can drink it if I give me another pound, believe it or not?" Guo Ying was about to snatch the wine in Qin Chu's hand with his eyes in a daze, but Qin Chu was taken behind him and hidden. glanced at Yuan Niang and Qing'er, "Miss Guo has drunk too much, you two send her back."
After some struggle, Yuan Niang and the two finally helped people out of the room. Qin Chu suddenly felt that his ears, which had been buzzing, had finally cleared up a lot.
After about half an hour, the two Yuan Niang came back. It's reassuring to know that you're sending people home safely.
Because there was suddenly a Lin family in the family, Yuan Niang went home after eating and cleaning up.
Thinking that Yang Zhengming said that he would come over later, Qin Chu didn't dare to sleep, and waited until seven or eight o'clock in the evening, estimating that it was almost curfew and no one would come, so he got up and went back to the room.
I had just turned off the lights and was lying down, when I suddenly heard a soft knock on the door.
I got up with my clothes on, and whispered to the door, "Who?" ”
"I'm ......" for a long time, a low and hoarse voice came.
As soon as Qin Chu opened the door, she felt a black shadow envelop her like a whirlwind, and in the blink of an eye, the person had been pressed against the wall, and the door was closed with a "creak".
Qin Chu smelled the heavy smell of wine on his body and was a little panicked, and snorted, "You... What are you doing? ”
