Chapter 62: Stranded
The mule cart was bumpy all the way, and the boy felt as if he was on the tip of the waves, and from time to time he was thrown high or fell heavily, but the sound of the waves was a little strange, "gurgling" and "bone-like", mixed with whispered words that felt so far away, no matter how hard he tried to listen, he could faintly hear clearly, but he felt that one of the voices was particularly soft and gentle, which made people feel at ease.
I don't know how long it took, his consciousness was still foggy, and several times he tried to open his eyes, but his eyelids seemed to be glued, and he couldn't be involved in any case, so he relaxed his mind again and stopped struggling uselessly. Sleep, let's sleep, at least the feeling of sadness and pain in the dream is not so sharp, it won't stab his whole heart is aching, if he can sleep like this all the time, it's actually not bad......
Gentle saw a few tears oozing from the corners of the young man's eyes, rolling down with the swaying of the body, and disappeared again in an instant. Is he having some nightmare? Or is there too much suffering in my heart, and I can't stop crying even when I'm in a coma?
If you look closely, the young man's face is actually quite handsome, but he always twists his brow and lips tightly, as if there is a sorrow hidden in it that cannot be dissipated no matter what. Gentleness sighed softly, and wiped the corners of the young man's eyes with a handkerchief, but when the tail finger touched his forehead, it felt a little hot.
"He seems to have a fever." Xiaohuan also noticed on the side, and the young man's face was showing a strange flush.
Wen Gang put the back of his hand against his forehead and tested the temperature, nodded and said, "It's a bit burning, it's quite hot." β
"Uncleβ" Gently lifted the curtain and shouted, "How long will it take to walk before there is a sharp place?" β
"Let's walk up for another hour, there's a small town ahead." The coachman did not look back, but stepped up his whip.
An hour later, they finally arrived at the sharp town, but at the moment Wen Rou was penniless, so he had no choice but to exchange the copper-plated silver hairpin on his head for money, but he was stopped by Xiaohuan, she smiled: "Sister forgot? I still have money on me! "When she fled from Zhao's mansion, Sister-in-law Liu had stuffed more than a dozen taels of silver to her, and in the past few months, she has eaten, drank, and spent all her gentle money, and these silver have been saved, fortunately it was not robbed last night, and it can also be used to save emergencies.
Gentle smiled and took the fourteen taels of silver stuffed by Xiaohuan, and said, "I forgot this!" I will take the money, and I will return it to you. β
"Sister, what are you talking about?" Xiaohuan said angrily: "I don't know how much money you spent on my mother and me, if you want to pay back this money, I won't recognize you as a sister in the future!" β
"Good! Don't pay it back! Gently smiled and whispered: "Keep it for you as a dowry in the future!" β
"Sister!" Xiaohuan stomped his feet.
Gently smiling and twisting her face slightly, she went to the inn and the doctor.
Fortunately, the boy was not too sick, but he had a fever, so he poured two decoctions and rested for another night, and the fever gradually subsided. Early the next morning, Wen Rou just fed the boy some rice soup and went out of the room to bring the door, but was stopped by Wen's mother at the door and said to her: "Daughter, how long do we have to delay in this town?" β
"Wait until he's awake before he hits the road." sighed gently, it was not that she didn't want to go, but that the young man was very weak, so he went on the road at this moment, afraid that he would not be able to stand the bumps.
"We don't have much money! This inn for a day will cost one hundred and fifty yuan, and take out food, drink, and medicine, so many people will have to spend two or three hundred yuan a day, if they are all used up, and then enter Kyoto, how can we live? "Mother Wen counted all night last night, and she was very anxious. She is a person who has no ability to make money, so she can only make a fuss about the word "province".
Wen Wen frowned when he heard this, this young man had saved them anyway, so he couldn't leave it alone, right? She didn't want to explain more, so she said, "Don't worry, there is me!" β
"You are a girl's family......" Mother Wen was about to say more, and Wen Wen heard a low moan that seemed to come from the room, and hurriedly left her, and pushed the door in to see the young man.
The boy was in a coma for a day and a night, and finally opened his eyes, but his consciousness was still a little confused, staring at the top of the tent in a daze, and he couldn't tell what place this was, until he saw Wen Wen push the door in, and then he struggled to sit up, and asked in a dumb voice, "Where is this?" β
"The inn." Gently poured him a glass of warm water, watched him drink it in one gulp before continuing: "You have been in a coma for a long time, do you feel better now?" β
The young man didn't answer, just stared at the empty cup in a daze for a while, as if thinking about who this strange and beautiful girl sitting in front of him was. But as his mind gradually cleared up, the scenes of what had happened before the coma jumped into his mind, and he jumped up suddenly, put on his shoes haphazardly, dropped the teacup and rushed out the door.
"Where are you going?" Wen Wen hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and he ran out like this, maybe he fainted again just after reaching the street.
The boy stopped, hesitated, turned around and bowed her deeply, then opened the door and ran out.
What a quirky guy, he smiled softly and bitterly, and had to chase after him. Fortunately, as soon as he chased to the staircase, he saw Wen Gang, who had just come back from shopping on the street, stopped the young man below, refused to let go, and said in his mouth: "Your body is not good yet, how can you run around!" β
"Let go of me, I'm going back to the temple!" The young man struggled hard, but he had basically not eaten anything for the past two days, and he was awake from a coma, his hands and feet were weak, and he couldn't break free for a while.
"This little brother, are you worried about the unburied person in the forest?" The coachman heard the movement and came out of the house.
The young man had no choice but to nod his head twice.
"Don't worry! We have already buried the man, and I am afraid that you will not find a place in the future, and we have left a mark. The coachman laughed and said, "It's better for you to concentrate on recuperation!" β
When the young man heard this, he immediately turned around and knelt down, "Dong Dong Dong" kowtowed a few times for the coachman, and he was so panicked that he hurriedly stepped forward to help the young man up, and said straightly: "Little brother, get up, I can't afford this big gift!" Hurry, hurry up! β
As soon as the young man finished kowtowing, the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained, and as soon as his legs were weak, he sat down on the ground, and Wen Gang and the coachman hurriedly carried him into the room, and closed the curious eyes of the onlookers in the inn from the door.
Seeing this, Wen Rou sighed helplessly, asked the innkeeper to borrow the kitchen, and went in to cook food for the young man, and couldn't help but guess in his heart, what was the relationship between the dead man and the young man? And the boy looked very lonely, and I didn't know if he had a place to live, after all, after arriving in Kyoto, they should go their separate ways.
