Chapter 458: Despair
"Ahem......" came the old man's cough outside the door.
The dilapidated wooden door was pushed open from the outside, and a hobbled old man walked in from the outside with a stick. That old face was full of vicissitudes, gray hair, and a very kind face.
"Girl, awake?" The old man took out a porcelain bowl from the cupboard, rinsed it carefully with water, poured half a bowl of hot water, and handed it to her. "Come, drink some water first......"
Qiao Keer moved her sore limbs, and slowly sat up with her hands on the edge of the bed. Her throat was so dry and hoarse, as if it had been burned by fire, and it hurt so badly.
"Thank you." Qiao Ke'er took the porcelain bowl handed over by the old man, as if she had been thirsty for several days.
"Drink slowly, there's still in the kettle." After the old man finished speaking, he turned and left the room.
After a while, the old man walked in with a bag of herbs.
"Grandpa, this is ......" Qiao Ke'er looked at the surroundings, the room was very simple, only two shabby wooden tables and chairs.
She looked through the small window on the earthen wall and saw that it was foggy outside, and she couldn't see anything clearly.
"Sister, this is my home~" The child stood beside the bed and stared at Qiao Keer with a curious expression. "My grandfather and I went to the mountains to dig wild ginseng, and when we saw you fainting on the mountain alone, we brought you back."
"Sister, why are you alone in the mountains? The fog in the mountains is very dangerous and dangerous......"
"I ...... Lost. Qiao Keer pulled the corners of her mouth bitterly.
Unexpectedly, Li Yanyuan really left her on the mountain and ignored her.
"Hiss......" She moved her neck, accidentally pulling the wound on her neck, and it hurt her heart.
"Girl, don't move." The old man quickly put down the herbs in his hand and walked towards her. "The wound on your neck is a little deep, don't move......"
"Thank you." Qiao Keer looked at the old man gratefully.
If it weren't for them, she would have frozen to death in the mountains. There are so many beasts in the mountains, even ...... Not even a single corpse could be saved.
"Girl, you can recuperate here in peace. When I was just checking your wound, I noticed that you had a lot of cold on you. The old man took out a sugar cube from his wide sleeve and handed it to her. The old man doesn't have anything else here, but there are a lot of herbs to ward off cold and dehumidify, which just help you condition your body. ”
"Thank you." Qiao Keer took the candy cube from the old man's hand, and looked down to see the little guy biting his finger and looking at her with blank eyes.
"Little friend, here you go." Qiao Keer smiled and handed him the sugar cube.
"I ......" The little guy hesitated and didn't dare to answer, and secretly glanced at the old man next to him.
"Adults don't eat sugar, so I'll give it to you." Qiao Keer gently held his little hand and stuffed the sugar cube into his hand.
"Thank you, sister~" The little guy licked the candy in his hand and smiled very happily.
It's that simple for children, a piece of candy can be satisfied.
"Girl, are you having any difficulties? I see you seem to have something on your mind......" The old man said while sorting out the herbs on the shelf, "If there is anything you can tell the old man, I will see if I can help."
Qiao Keer smiled and didn't speak.
No one can help her with this......
"Let me guess, is it love?" The old man looked back at her and said, "You have been in a coma for a long time, and you ...... last night You've been shouting someone's name, and that person should be important to you, right? ”
