Chapter 20: The Bright Moon Shines in the Night
Although the old man looked amiable, Huo Roufeng's vigilance was not reduced, she followed the example of an adult man, hugged her fists at the old man, and said politely: "The annoying old man told Ling Gongzi that Xiao Ke is grateful for his good intentions, but Xiao Ke came out with his family, and he will go back later, so he won't go on the boat to bother." ”
When the old man saw her say this, he smiled and said, "Your foot seems to be injured, if your family doesn't find it, how can you go back?" My son-in-law is well-versed in medicine, and he heard that you had a wound on your foot, so he let you get on the boat, and he had no other intention. ”
The last sentence had no other meaning, which was to tell Huo Roufeng that they were not abducting children.
It turned out to be a doctor.
From childhood to adulthood, Huo Roufeng has not done less things to climb trees and walls, bumps and bumps are common, today is just a broken foot, she didn't care, but as the old man said, if Zhang Shengping and Huang Ling can't find here, she can't go back to the inn with one leg.
Thinking of this, Huo Roufeng hugged his fist at the old man again and said, "Since this is the case, then Xiao Ke will be disturbed." ”
When the old man saw that she looked like a little adult at a young age, his smile became a little more kind, and he took the ladder and carefully helped her onto the boat.
Huo Roufeng thought that after rubbing it for a while, her feet would be better, but when she landed at this time, it hurt even more than Fang Cai, she couldn't help but scream, the old man hurriedly handed her a crutch, the crutch was cold in her hand, Huo Roufeng was taken aback, through the light, Huo Roufeng saw that this crutch was not wood or bamboo, Huo Roufeng grew up in the rich nest in both lives, and had seen countless good things, but he didn't know what this crutch was made of.
She couldn't help but be curious about the doctor in the cabin.
There is a low table in the cabin, there is a small octagonal palace lamp on the low table, a young man sits in front of the lamp and reads a book, his head is half hanging, the dim light shines on his body, half light and half dark, the moon-white home-style robe, and the white hosta of his hair, like waking up in the middle of the night, the moonlight that spilled in through the window in the Mid-Autumn Festival night, smashed and melted into the mortal world, but still not stained with a trace of mortal dust.
Huo Roufeng closed her mouth tightly, for fear that she couldn't help but exhale pain and break the silence of this cabin. Although the young man in front of him couldn't see his appearance clearly, the Tsinghua that was revealed around his body made this ordinary Wupeng cabin extraordinary.
The old man was silent, put down the bamboo curtain and turned to go out, Huo Roufeng turned to look at the bamboo curtain that was swaying slightly behind him, only to remember that it was still April day, and there were still Suzhou embroidered curtains hanging everywhere in the house.
If it was usual, she wouldn't think about it so much, but at this moment, she remembered a lot of small things, just like picking celery, thinking about her mother-in-law and mother-in-law all day long.
Not only picking celery, but also the maids and mothers-in-law in the family are like this, and the sister is occasionally like this, they will care about which peony is well raised, and which flower color is fashionable on the street, but she is not.
Huo Roufeng stood there in a daze, she suddenly felt that she was a superfluous person, she should not have entered the cabin, she should not have broken the silence of the cabin.
The young man slowly raised his head, his face gradually became clearer, on his thin face, there were warm eyebrows and eyes like jade, with a light smile on his lips, pointing to the futon in front of him, and motioning for her to sit down.
Huo Roufeng barely endured the pain in her ankle, trying to make herself walk like a normal person, and for some reason, she didn't want to make a fool of herself in front of this unknown teenager.
She carefully leaned her crutches against the low table, but as soon as she let go, the crutches slipped off and fell to the planks with a thud.
The room was quiet, the sound was extremely harsh, Huo Roufeng was like a child who had done something wrong, and hurriedly picked up the crutches and put them horizontally at his feet, while he put his hands between his legs and sat down in a proper manner.
The young man said softly: "Little brother, don't be nervous, how old are you?" ”
His voice is like a spring breeze, with a faint coolness in the warmth, but it is just right, and it sounds very comfortable.
Seeing that Huo Roufeng didn't speak, he thought she was scared, and his voice softened a little: "Let me guess, you are eight years old?" Or nine years old? ”
Huo Roufeng was speechless, she just wore a giant stupid tiger hat, why did she look like she was eight or nine years old?
"I'm eleven, and today I'm going to visit the flower boat with the adults in my family." She said triumphantly with her flat little breasts.
The corners of the boy's mouth still had that light smile on his lips, but the smile in his eyes became thicker and thicker, what an interesting child.
Huo Roufeng stared at him, she seemed to have seen him somewhere, was it in a dream? If it wasn't in a dream, why couldn't she remember? Such a young man like Zhilan Yushu, no matter who it is, will be unforgettable at first sight, but she can't remember when she has seen it.
She just looked at the young man in front of her, and didn't notice that the old man just now walked in again, this time he brought a porcelain basin, and the basin was filled with water.
The young man pointed to the rattan box behind him and said to the old man: "Celadon bottle, three coins." ”
The old man opened the rattan box, Huo Roufeng came to his senses, and saw that there were more than ten or twenty small bottles in the rattan box, which turned out to be a medicine box.
She asked the young man curiously, "Isn't the doctor going to ask about it?" You don't see my wounds, how do you know what medicine to use? ”
The young man smiled: "You told Uncle Wang that you broke your foot, and when you walked through the hatch just now, your right foot didn't dare to touch the ground, if I guessed correctly, your right ankle is already swollen at this time, am I right?" ”
Huo Roufeng was slightly surprised, when she walked in just now, this young man obviously didn't look up, how did he see it?
The old man known as Uncle Wang had already poured the medicinal powder from the celadon bottle into the water, he brought the porcelain basin filled with water to Huo Roufeng, and said: "This is my son-in-law's unique recipe, which is different from the doctor's outside, you soak your feet in, and ensure that you can walk home by yourself in a while." ”
Huo Roufeng was skeptical, she didn't expect to get better immediately, as long as it wasn't painful, she looked at the slightly yellowed water, and looked at the young man hesitantly.
The young man seemed to see her thoughts, and said to Wang Bo: "Put your hands in the water." ”
Uncle Wang understood, put one hand into the porcelain basin, and waited until he took it out, Huo Roufeng saw that there was no redness and swelling on his hands, so he took off his shoes and socks and soaked his feet in the water.
Sure enough, as the young man said, her ankles were already swollen and tall, and even the soles of her feet, which were originally white and delicate, were red and swollen.
Huo Roufeng flattened her mouth, and forcibly didn't let herself cry, if she was at home, she would definitely cry heartbreakingly, so let Cai Qin take the initiative to go to Mr. Zhang to give her leave.
