Chapter 11: The Ghost Gate of the Suburban Hedge

Jiang Feng had already lit a fire under the guidance of the old man, and white water vapor came out of the barrel.

The old man said, "It's time. ”

Jiang Zhiyuan nodded, stepped forward and carefully put Guo Xiaoxiao into the bucket. The barrel was very large, and the water level was just up to Guo Xiaoxiao's chest. Guo Xiaoxiao sat in the barrel, his head resting on the edge of the barrel, his face still pale.

The old man prepared a kerosene lamp and silver needles, burned a few silver needles, with moderate strength, and pierced Guo Xiaoxiao's Sanyang Wuhui in turn.

At this time, Jiang Zhiyuan said to Jiang Feng: "You and Xiaolan are watching the eldest lady here, and I'll go find firewood." ”

Jiang Feng said, "Let the minions follow you." ”

"You go too, what if something happens and Xiaolan and the old gentleman can't cope with it?"

Jiang Feng hesitated, not daring to say more.

Jiang Zhiyuan went out of the fence and wanted to lead the horse, but it was useless to think about it, so he went with his bare hands.

After an hour, the old man's firewood was about to run out, Jiang Zhiyuan pinched the time, and immediately rushed back to the old man's wooden house, and the stove under Guo Xiaoxiao's body burned again.

Fortunately, the sun was very bright in May, and the firewood dried quickly, and Jiang Zhiyuan could quickly find a lot of very dry firewood, which did not extinguish the flame of the stove.

On the way, Xiaolan kept wiping Guo Xiaoxiao's sweat with a handkerchief, and Jiang Feng was sweating when he lit a fire on the side, and changed his clothes several times.

The old man saw that Guo Xiaoxiao's face gradually became bloody, and then looked at the sundial, and then pulled out all the silver needles on Guo Xiaoxiao's body, and said, "It's done." ”

Xiaolan exclaimed, "What? Did the old gentleman say that Miss was fine? ”

The old man wiped his sweat with his sleeve and said, "It's no big deal, just take some medicine to regulate it in the future." ”

Xiaolan cried with joy: "Really? It's just wonderful. As he spoke, he wiped away his tears with his hands.

Jiang Zhiyuan was overjoyed for a while, and bowed his hand to the old man: "Thank you, old man." ”

Jiang Zhiyuan immediately fished Guo Xiaoxiao out of the barrel, and after soaking for so long, Guo Xiaoxiao's body almost festered. He hurriedly called Xiaolan to come over to serve Guo Xiaoxiao.

Xiaolan dried Guo Qianqian's body and changed into her previous dry clothes.

Jiang Zhiyuan looked at Guo Xiaoxiao on the bed, pulled the quilt for her, held her hand with one hand, and said, "Fortunately." He put her hand to the tip of his nose, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath, mixed with joy and sorrow.

It was already a gray night outside, and there were many fireflies flying among the grass, twinkling and twinking, which made people feel happy.

Xiaolan served a bowl of meat soup and said, "Young Master Cousin, let's eat something." ”

Jiang Zhiyuan knelt on the edge of the bed and looked at Guo Xiaoxiao with his eyes: "You guys eat, I'm not hungry." ”

Xiaolan and Jiang Feng glanced at each other, and said, "You better eat something, don't get tired." ”

"Okay, let's put it there."

Xiaolan hesitated for a moment and gently placed the soup bowl on the stool beside her. Seeing that Jiang Zhiyuan had no other actions, he quietly retreated.

Jiang Feng also retreated.

A little starry appeared in the night sky, and Xiaolan stood under the eaves of the wooden house, looking up at the unknown stars in the sky.

Jiang Feng came out eating the baked cakes: "Hungry, right?" "Handed her a biscuit.

Xiaolan smiled and shook her head.

"Let's eat some." Jiang Feng's hand was not withdrawn, "If you don't eat, you don't have the strength to serve your young lady." ”

Xiaolan thought about it, smiled and took the baked cake, put it to her mouth and took a bite.

Jiang Feng said while eating: "The master is upset and can't eat, but we can't eat nothing, otherwise we won't have the strength to serve the master." ”

Seeing that Xiaolan was still chewing repeatedly in his mouth for the first time, he said again: "Eat more, it's not enough for me to get it for you." ”

Xiaolan smiled and took a few bites on the baked cake.

Although the night is getting cooler, it is not a poor winter after all, Guo Xiaoxiao felt that his body was very hot, and he reached out to touch the back of his head and felt the sweat on his hand.

Feeling as if something was pressing on him, Guo Xiaoxiao looked down and found that Jiang Zhiyuan was sitting on the edge of the bed asleep, his head pressed on his hands.

Looking at his body again, covered with a thick quilt, Guo Xiaoxiao shouted: "It's hot to death." ”

Jiang Zhiyuan woke up from his dream and saw Guo Xiaoxiao who was looking at him with his eyes open, and he smiled: "Xiaoxiao, you can be regarded as awake." ”

"Hmm." Guo Xiaoxiao shook her legs, and the quilt covering her feet moved.

Then she used her hands and feet together, threw the quilt against the wall, sat up straight and gasped: "It's hot!" The heat is dead! On a hot day, how can you cover me with such a thick quilt, making me sweat profusely. ”

Jiang Zhiyuan looked embarrassed: "Isn't this afraid that you will be cold?" ”

Guo Xiaoxiao felt cold because of the lack of qi and blood before, but now the poison in it has faded.

Xiaolan and Jiang Feng heard the sound of talking in the house and hurriedly walked in.

Xiao Lan said happily: "Miss is awake." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao said: "What's wrong with me? ”

"Miss was poisoned and fainted this morning, but it was the young master who saved you." Xiaolan persuaded, "Don't complain about the young master. ”

"Cousin, I blame you." Guo Xiaoxiao lowered his head and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Xiaolan, what did you just say about poisoning, what's going on?" ”

"Xiaolan," Xiaolan was about to explain the ins and outs of the matter, but was interrupted by Jiang Zhiyuan, "Miss is hungry, go and prepare some light food for Miss." ”

"Yes." Xiaolan didn't dare to say more, so she walked out of the room and went to the kitchen.

"The minions went to help light the fire." Jiang Feng also retreated.

As soon as Guo Xiaoxiao was in good health, he wanted to move around.

Jiang Zhiyuan said: "Lie down for a while." ”

"My body is a little sore," Guo Xiaoxiao sat on the edge of the bed, "I don't want to lie down anymore." ”

was about to put on shoes, but Jiang Zhiyuan grabbed her ankle and put on socks for her. Guo Xiaoxiao just wanted to retract his foot, but he grabbed it.

Just as he was putting on her socks, Jiang Zhiyuan noticed a slender scar above her ankle, and he asked, "How did you get it?" ”

Guo Xiaoxiao thought about it and said casually: "It was scraped by weeds last time when I went to Panshan to look for medicine." ”

Jiang Zhiyuan thought of Xiaolan's words and guessed that Guo Xiaoxiao's poisoning should come from the weeds that scratched her.

"Why was it so careless?" Jiang Zhiyuan said as he put on her shoes.

"I'm ......" Guo Xiaoxiao frowned and looked at the side of the bed.

"I told you not to go, you have to listen." Jiang Zhiyuan had a reproachful tone.

Guo Xiaoxiao stood up after putting on his shoes, and went to pour a glass of water to drink.

"If you would listen to me, you wouldn't be as ...... as you are now"

"Don't say any more." Guo Xiaoxiao turned to look at him, "I know that you are for my good, but I can't find any medicine that can cure my mother in Yangzhou City, so I have to find it." ”

"Stubborn!" Jiang Zhiyuan was angry.

When the old man heard this, he walked out of the room. Seeing that Jiang Zhiyuan and Guo Xiaoxiao seemed to be arguing, the old man said, "The girl is awake." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment and said, "Who are you?" ”

Jiang Zhiyuan didn't speak, the old man glanced at Jiang Zhiyuan, and said: "Lord Jiang calls the old man old man, and if the girl wants, she can also call me old man." ”

The old man smiled and continued: "I was resting in the room, and when I heard that the two of us seemed to be arguing, I came out to see what was going on. ”

Jiang Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "I'm really sorry to disturb the old gentleman's Qingxiu." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao also said: "We will pay attention to it in the future." ”

The old man touched his goatee and said meaningfully, "Please let the girl say a few words." The girl was poisoned and almost died today, and it took a lot of effort from Master Jiang to save you. I told him that you should soak a potion to remove the poison, and that the fire in the stove could not be stopped, so he collected firewood for a few hours. As soon as it's time to soak in the potion, he quickly scoops you up from the potion. Master Jiang has been busy until now, and he hasn't eaten a grain of rice. ”

The old man said that, and walked straight out of the house.

Guo Xiaoxiao lowered his head, feeling a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to speak. At this time, there was a faint smell of meat from the kitchen, Guo Xiaoxiao sniffed hard, and said, "Are you cooking?" ”

Jiang Zhiyuan paused and said, "I'm making porridge." ”

"I, I'll take a look." Guo Xiaoxiao raised his feet and was about to go out.

"I'll go, you sit." Jiang Zhiyuan went out of the room and went to the kitchen.

Xiaolan was stirring the porridge with a big spoon, and when she saw Jiang Zhiyuan coming over, Xiaolan put down the spoon and owed a debt: "Young Master Cousin." ”

"Is the porridge ready?" Jiang Zhiyuan asked.

"It's okay, the slave will come over."

"Don't put spices like star anise." Jiang Zhiyuan stepped forward and scooped a spoonful to look at, and said, "Xiao Xiao can't eat these yet." ”

"Yes, the slave and maid did everything according to your orders, and did not dare to put any spices."

"Hmm."

Xiaolan got the answer and was about to use a rag to bring the stew pot off the small stove, but Jiang Feng said, "I'll come." ”

Xiaolan smiled and handed the rag to Jiang Feng.

Guo Xiaoxiao saw Jiang Feng and Xiaolan walking in, so he looked out of the door and saw no one.

Xiaolan put half a bowl of porridge on the round table, and said, "Miss, let's use some porridge." ”

Seeing Guo Xiaoxiao sitting listlessly on the edge of the bed, Xiaolan said, "Are you waiting for the young master?" ”

"I know, I still ask." Guo Xiaoxiao said angrily.

Xiaolan didn't say anything anymore and stepped aside. At this time, Jiang Zhiyuan walked in with gentle steps. Guo Xiaoxiao turned his head to look, although he felt a little sorry for Jiang Zhiyuan, but he still didn't dare to speak.

In front of Jiang Zhiyuan, Guo Xiaoxiao always seemed willful and unreasonable.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Jiang Feng said: "Master, the meal is ready and ready to use." ”

Jiang Zhiyuan didn't look at Guo Xiaoxiao, walked closer to the round table, and sat down on a stool nearby.

Xiaolan gave Guo Xiaoxiao a look and asked her to come over. Guo Xiaoxiao twisted for a while before taking a seat at the round table.

Guo Xiaoxiao quietly looked at Jiang Zhiyuan, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he glanced at Xiaolan and Jiang Feng. Xiaolan and Jiang Feng agreed, and the two quietly retreated. Because Miss Guo is about to start her soft grinding and hard foaming Dafa.

Guo Xiaoxiao cleared his throat and said, "Let's eat porridge." ”

"Well, it's delicious." Guo Xiaoxiao picked up the spoon and took a bite, and said with a smile, "Do you want to take a bite?" ”

Jiang Zhiyuan did not speak, nor did he look at Guo Xiaoxiao.

"If you don't eat it, you won't have it." Guo Xiaoxiao scooped a spoonful and handed it to his mouth, "Take a bite." ”

Jiang Zhiyuan tilted his head to the side, his face expressionless.

"Let's take a bite." Guo Xiaoxiao continued to feed him.

Who knows that Jiang Zhiyuan still doesn't appreciate it.

"If you don't eat it, I'll eat it." Guo Xiaoxiao stretched out the spoon to himself and ate the soup in one bite, "Well, it's just a delicacy in the world." ”

Jiang Zhiyuan was also hungry, Guo Xiaoxiao saw his Adam's apple move, he knew that the time had come, and hurriedly scooped a spoonful to him: "Take a bite and give me some face." ”

He glanced at Guo Xiaoxiao and said angrily: "Then I will reluctantly give you a little face." ”

"Yes." Guo Xiaoxiao smiled and watched him eat the meat soup into his mouth.

"Now that you've given me face, you don't care about giving a little more face." Guo Xiaoxiao smiled and fed him several more bites.

After a while, Jiang Zhiyuan ate half a bowl. Guo Xiaoxiao exclaimed: "Oh, why did I use my bowl and spoon for you!" ”

Jiang Zhiyuan sighed and pushed his bowl to her: "Then you can eat mine." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao smiled and put down the bowl in his hand and ate his bowl.

Guo Xiaoxiao is like this. Nine times out of ten, she refused to bow her head and admit her mistakes. Even if the facts are in front of her, she will not say things like "I'm sorry" and "I was wrong" to Jiang Zhiyuan, if there is, it must be that she is confused and has not recovered yet.

She mostly used this way of giving each other steps to resolve the small contradictions between her and Jiang Zhiyuan.
