Chapter 3: The Stranger
Shen Qing grabbed his head and scattered his hair, "At that time, the tea had already been poured, and he left after a few sips, it looked like he had other things to do," he looked at Miss Qiao, "Feng Yi, in addition to asking Yuan Qi to come here to deliver things that day, did you arrange anything else for him?" ”
Miss Qiao shook her head, "No, it seems that he has some personal matters to do, so he left from you." ”
Jiang Xixi nodded, "I'll go to his house and ask in a while to see if Yuan Qi's family knows where he went that day." ”
Glancing at her, she was suddenly attracted by something strange in the middle of the courtyard: it was a wooden shelf, on which lay a round ball, which was made of nine wooden circles made of bamboo strips, each with many small characters carved on it.
Jiang Xixi had never seen this thing before, her curiosity suddenly rose, and she took a few steps forward, "What is this?" It looks so strange. ”
"It is a model of the armillary sphere, used to observe celestial phenomena, the nine wooden circles represent the four traveling instruments, the equatorial ring, the ecliptic ring, the horizon ring, the meridian ring, the hexagram, the white channel ring, the inner equatorial ring and the right ascension ring, each layer is engraved with the inner and outer gauges, the south and the north, the yellow, the equator, the twenty-four solar terms, the twenty-eight columns, as well as the 'middle', 'outer' stars and the sun, moon, five latitudes and other celestial phenomena. With them, it is possible to determine the positions of stars and celestial bodies in the mid-night, mid-night, and midnight. By the way," Shen Qing squatted down, a relieved smile on his face, "You can also use it to observe the moon, on the day of the lunar eclipse, the sunlight is hidden from the ground and there is a void, and there may be another scene between heaven and earth." ”
This passage was smoothly said by him, but Jiang Xixi understood every word, but he couldn't understand it at all, but fortunately, Qiao Fengyi saw her embarrassment, and hurriedly explained on the side, "This thing is used to observe the stars, but it is just a model, and it is not very useful." ”
"Miss Qiao, don't underestimate it, although it is simple, it has also predicted the changes of the stars several times, maybe it can help a lot in the future." Shen Qing said as he carefully dusted off the dust on the armillary sphere.
"I don't care what it does, but what's wrong with your forehead? Injured? Miss Qiao walked over and gently brushed away the messy hair on Shen Qing's forehead, there was a diamond-shaped wound under the hair, although it had scabbed, it was not completely healed, and blood oozed out and flowed down her cheeks.
"It's okay, I accidentally fell to the ground a few days ago, I'll just wash it with water in a while." He smeared a handful of blood on his face, and the blood spread and smeared his face.
"This kind of thing can't be sloppy, now it's hot, if the wound is infected, it will be troublesome, do you have any medicine, I'll help you bandage it." Miss Qiao cared about him.
"Now there is no medicine at home, Erxi went out, and when he came back in a while, I asked him to buy it on the street."
"That scholar of yours, it's half a day to go out and play, forget it, I'll go to the hospital now, and I'll send you the medicine in a while." Miss Qiao shook her head helplessly, and walked out of the door of the Shen family with Jiang Xixi.
"This Shen Qing is quite interesting, I don't understand a few words of what he does and what he says." Seeing that the door was closed, Jiang Xixi told Qiao Fengyi truthfully about his opinion.
"Don't talk about you, girl, I believe that he is doing something that most people in the world can't understand. He is a strange person, diligent and studious since childhood, at the age of fourteen he finished reading the family's collection of books, and traveled with his father to the state and county, increasing his knowledge, but when he is older, he has no interest in official career at all, but he is more interested in astronomy and geography, flowers, plants, birds and beasts, and squatting in the wild all day long and does not know what to study blindly, if it were not for the little savings left by the family, I estimate that he would have starved to death. Miss Qiao sighed.
"Then why did you marry him?"
"Shen Qing's father and his father are old friends, his father died early, and my father promised to take care of him, so after I left, he decided on this marriage on his own initiative."
"But in my opinion, the girl is quite concerned about him."
"He has no father, no mother, no brother or sister, and his life is informal, if he doesn't care more about him, I'm afraid he will toss himself to death sooner or later."
Li Rengui got down from the dock, he moved the goods for a day, the skin and flesh of his body were sore, and he urgently needed to stretch, while the sun had not set, he came to the tea stall, and dried a few bowls of hot tea, and then paced slowly on the street, thinking about how to relax and relax the tired muscles and bones.
Take a shower, then find a tavern and have a few drinks before heading home.
Li Rengui looked at the lights that lit up on the set, and calculated the arrangements for tonight.
The pain was like a tidal wave, and when it rose, it made him feel painful, but it didn't take long for it to slowly subside and disappear silently.
Li Rengui knows that he has been in a cycle of being awake, unconscious, awake again, and comatose again, repeatedly, without stopping. For a moment, he seemed to have forgotten who he was, let alone where he was, the pain was so intense that he just wanted to die now, no longer baptized with fear and pain.
His jaw had been pierced, his teeth were shattered, and his mouth was stuffed, but now, he didn't even have the strength to spit them out, his face was as heavy as a stone, and every pull of his muscles brought a heart-rending pain, and his tongue seemed to be cracked, and blood flowed down his throat, without swallowing, straight into his throat, causing him to suddenly burst into a heavy, weak cough, squirting a mouthful of blood and broken teeth to the ground.
The tall man wept, tears flowing, pain and fear, and the two most vicious demons in the world grabbed him in the palm of his hand at the same time, shattering all the defenses in his heart.
God, why don't you just give me a good time.
Li Rengui prayed silently in his heart, he hoped that he was not so strong, and he hoped that he would die immediately, so that he would not have to endure such a deep suffering.
But fortunately, the tide seemed to be receding again, and he felt that his consciousness was blurring little by little, and the pain was dissipating, so he went to sleep, and perhaps when he woke up, he would find that it was nothing more than a nightmare.
"Squeak."
The door opened, the moonlight leaked in through the crack in the door, and Li Rengui saw a figure standing in front of the threshold, he stared at himself, motionless.
Consciousness returned to his mind, and the memories flooded back, and he finally remembered what had just happened.
Li Rengui opened his mouth and let out a dry howl like an animal.
The man, came in. ()
