Zhou watched the eldest and the second child come back, and Tie Qing's face finally looked better, "Did you lose it?" โ
"Yes." Chi Tao stood by the door frame with a dog's tail in his mouth, Nunu mouthed, "Mother, why did you go to such trouble to lose her, wouldn't it be good if she died and burned it directly!" โ
Chishu stood aside, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
Although the third brother and sister have smallpox, what if she doesn't die, what if she is eaten by a wild wolf now?
Zhou sat on the little vulture, and then knitted a dustpan, without raising his head, drooping his eyes, "This daughter-in-law has no birth, and she can't be buried in the ancestral hall in the future, and she died at home, bad luck!" โ
Dilapidated houses, cold.
Sunlight poured in through the broken windows, and the plain bed was clean, and you could vaguely smell the sun.
Although the sheets and bedding were worn out and patched, they were clean.
There was a man lying on the bed, his eyes were closed, his sword eyebrows were twisted, and he seemed to dream of something bad.
Suddenly, the eyes of the man on the bed suddenly opened, like a cheetah in the mountains and forests, staring indifferently in front of him.
What about Gu Yu?
Chi Hang sat up abruptly in a hurry, and walked outside with his shoes on.
Before he reached the door, he heard footsteps, and Chi Hang's body was stunned, and he saw his eldest brother Chi Shu walking in from outside.
"Big brother......" Chi Hang called out softly, his eyes fell on the porridge in Chi Shu's hand, could it be that those in the dream were real?
"What about Gu Yu?" Chi Hang rushed to Chi Shu's front and looked at Chi Shu nervously with his eyes.
Chi Shu originally just listened to Zhou's words to deliver food, but he didn't want Chi Hang to wake up.
"Third brother," Chishu felt that it was necessary for him to let this younger brother think clearly, "the third brother and sister are no longer saved, she has smallpox, and she can't survive at home." โ
What does it mean to not be able to live at home?
Did you think that he couldn't live at the beginning, so he talked about the separation of the family on the day Gu Yu got married?
Chi Hang was so angry that he was about to faint, panting heavily, and after a long time, his voice was nasal, "Where is she?" โ
Chi Shu put the bowl in his hand on the table, raised his eyes and glanced at the younger brother who was a head taller than himself, "Third brother, don't be stupid, your younger brother and sister can't be saved, even if you find her now, what can you do?" โ
"The fourth brother is also smallpox," Chi Hang's chest was so tight, his eyes were dyed with tears, and his eyes were red, "But isn't he still taken care of by you?" โ
Chi Hang can see it clearly now, and his mother is not uncommon with him at all.
Chishu choked, and said unbearably, "Mother let us throw her at the foot of the mountain to feed the wolves!" โ
Chi Hang slammed the pond tree away and staggered outside.
He walked fast, his hair was messy and unkempt.
His body was not all right, but now that he was walking quickly, his haggard face became even more ugly.
Summer is very hot, if it is usual, Chi Hang will definitely feel covered in sweat, but now he feels cold behind him.
He survived because she gave him life.
Maybe it's because many people have smallpox, but along the way, Chi Hang didn't see a single person.
When he arrived at the place where the eldest brother said, he saw Lin Guyu still with a stick tied to his body, lying on the ground with a pale face.
Chi Hang walked quickly in front of Lin Guyu, panicked and untied the rope on Lin Guyu's body, and threw away the stick on her body.
Still alive?
It was the first time for Chi Hang to be so panicked, kneeling beside Lin Guyu, his fingers trembling and stretching out to Lin Guyu's nose.
In the confusion, it seemed that he heard the sound of heavy breathing, Lin Guyu was carried by someone, and a familiar breath suddenly floated into his nose.
She struggled slightly, and the person below her paused for a moment, and then seemed to start moving.
Lin Guyu's mind was confused, his body was uncomfortably hot, he only felt that it was very cool under him, and he couldn't help but hug it tightly.
After a lot of effort, Chi Hang finally carried Lin Guyu back, but he didn't dare to go home, for fear that the Zhou family would find Lin Guyu and leave her behind.
Walking aimlessly towards the front, his waist was not good in the first place, and now he was carrying such a heavy person for so long, and he couldn't support it.
His mind was swollen and painful, and Lin Guyu endured his exhaustion and slowly opened his eyes.
Is she on Chi Hang's back?
"Put me down." Lin Guyu shouted in a low voice.
The hand that was holding her legs loosened her up, and Chi Hang panted and said, "I'm tired." โ
"I can go." Lin Guyu didn't know how long Chi Hang had carried her, but she knew that Chi Hang couldn't carry him for a long time, but she was afraid that the old injury would not heal and a new injury would be added.
Lin Guyu vigorously broke Chi Hang's hand, and his body fell to the ground softly.
Chi Hang turned around in a panic and was about to go to carry Lin Guyu.
Looking at that panicked face, Lin Guyu's eyes were slightly moved, and he didn't know if it was because of the uncomfortable burn, or because of the man in front of him, he couldn't help but redden.
"Just help me go." Lin Guyu tried hard to suppress the discomfort, he would be stunned by the stone, and now he is sober.
If it weren't for Chi Hang holding her, she might have fallen without taking two steps.
The body is soft and uncontrollable.
Following the route in his memory, Lin Guyu found the family.
"Here?" Chi Hang looked at Lin Guyu suspiciously, the house was dilapidated, it had not been repaired for many years, if the wind was stronger, this house was estimated to be blown down directly.
"Yes." Lin Guyu's throat was dry and uncomfortable, like rough bark cutting across silk, making a whispering sound.
Chi Hang raised his hand and knocked on the wide open door, leaning in, "Is there anyone?" โ
When the widow heard the knock on the door, she helped feed her son with medicine, and walked outside, and saw a man and a woman standing at the door with their backs to the sun, the sunlight was a little dazzling, and they couldn't see the appearance of the two people clearly!
"Whoever asked you to come to our house, get out of here!" The widow said, picked up the wooden stick on the side, and walked to the door fiercely.
There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, this widow Xu is not the kind of prodigal person, as long as a man comes to her door, all of them are blasted out by the widow Xu.
Widow Xu's pungency is first-class in the village.
"Sister-in-law." Lin Guyu raised his eyes and glanced at the widow Xu, her body was extremely uncomfortable, and her voice was terrible.
"Big girl!" When the widow heard Lin Guyu's voice, her eyes fell on Lin Guyu's body, and she looked at Lin Guyu's dying appearance, "Why did you become like this?" โ
Chi Hang glanced at the widow and woman, and said lightly, "Smallpox!" โ
Speaking of smallpox, Widow Xu finally had a smile on her face, and hurriedly said to Lin Guyu, "Big sister, you are really a miracle doctor, my son is much better now, it's okay!" โ
When he heard the words of Widow Xu, Chi Hang's eyes were startled, and he looked at Lin Guyu in surprise.
"Take me to the cows!" Lin Gu Yuqi said like a gossamer, his eyes opened vigorously, but he still felt that the person in front of him was a little shaky.
When the widow heard Lin Guyu's words, she hurriedly helped Lin Guyu walk towards the cow.
In the eyes of Widow Xu, Lin Guyu is a fairy, and he can get better at once if he rejuvenates his hands.
The widow and woman were holding the cow as before.
Lin Guyu stretched out his hand to push Chi Hang away, raised his hand to put it in his mouth, and bit down hard until the bite broke and bleed.
"You!" Chi Hang looked at Lin Guyu in surprise, and his brows furrowed even tighter.
Cowpox.
She couldn't squat, she could only kneel next to the cow, if it wasn't for the widow Xu grabbing the cow, maybe she would have been kicked away by the cow's legs.
Reach out and break the ulcer next to the cow's milk room, and let the things flow to the bite on your hand.
"Sister-in-law, can I have a glass of milk?" Lin Guyu slowly withdrew his hand, knelt on the ground, and raised his eyes to look at the widow Xu.
The widow hurriedly replied yes, what the benefactor said, she would definitely do it.
Lin Guyu didn't have any strength on his body, leaned on the railing on the side, and hooked the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly.
When he first got smallpox, Lin Guyu thought that if he died, he would die, and maybe he could wear it back.
Thrown on the mountain, she felt that it was better to die like this.
It's just that when Chi Hang appeared in front of her, she suddenly didn't want to die.
People's thoughts are always so strange, one moment they think that they die and the next moment they change.
The widow returned to the room, came out with milk, and then brought out the medicine.
"This is the medicine I cooked for my son, there is still a little left, big sister, you drink it quickly." The widow Xu said, feeding Lin Guyu herself.
Chi Hang watched Widow Xu take care of Lin Guyu so carefully, squatted aside, and said hesitantly, "Sister-in-law, can I put my daughter-in-law here with you?" โ
Listening to Chi Hang's words, the widow frowned slightly, and turned her head to look at Chi Hang.
What kind of personality is Chi Hang, she has heard of it before, Widow Xu asked puzzledly, "Why?" โ
"I will come over every day to take care of her," Chi Hang pursed his lips slightly, his face turned red uncontrollably, and stammered, "My family, my family's ......."
Lin Guyu looked at Chi Hang's appearance, reached out and grabbed the hand of the widow Xu, and said softly, "He is not in good health, if the eldest sister-in-law feels troublesome, I will just go out!" โ
"Big girl!" Widow Xu didn't bother to listen to those reasons, but Lin Guyu was a woman, so it was naturally nothing to live in her house, "You can live as long as you want!" โ
Chi Hang and Widow Xu helped Lin Guyu into the house, Lin Guyu looked at the child sitting on the bed and playing, with a faint smile on his face, raised his eyes to look at Widow Xu, and said softly, "He is fine now, even if he is exposed to smallpox, he will not be suffering from smallpox!" โ
Xu Widow and Women's Company laid the ground for Lin Guyu, and then he and Chi Hang helped Lin Guyu to lie down.
Widow Xu carefully covered Lin Guyu with a quilt, and listened to the sound of several people shouting outside, as well as some chaotic footsteps.
Something happened outside, Widow Xu had a bad premonition in her heart, frowned, reached out and picked up the wooden stick on the side and walked outside.
