Chapter 119: Two Nights, Three Watches~
When he arrived at Cheng Lizheng's residence, as soon as he said the cause and effect, Cheng Lizheng knew that Bang Yue was going to treat Qing'er's aunt, and he said a lot of thanks.
The two sisters and brothers were anxious about their mother's illness and refused to stay at Cheng Lizheng's house to eat, so Cheng Lizheng took a few large breads, wrapped them in oiled paper, and let a few people eat them on the way.
Just as he was about to go out, Cheng Li was thinking of something, took two big cotton robes, packed them in a basket, and asked Shaoge to carry them on his back.
"It's very cold up the mountain, and these two siblings are also wearing clothes."
Lo and behold, it was.
Xie Cheng was in the middle of the process, Bang Yue and Shaoge followed behind the two sisters and brothers and went up the mountain.
And Xie Tanning had to wait in the town to wait for Miss Qing, so he didn't go along.
Although Jing'er is lame, she is not much slower than a normal person when she walks. This little girl has a very awkward temperament, she doesn't pay attention to Bang Yue and Shaoge, and she doesn't allow her brother to talk to these two, so she only walks in front in a muffled voice.
Sure enough, it was cold in the mountains.
Out of the town, there is a dirt road that winds upwards, and there are scattered farmhouses along the road, one side of the hill is more densely populated, and the other side is mainly thatched huts and storage rooms for farm tools, and in addition to the chicken pens and pigsties. It doesn't feel very solid on that side, so there are very few houses for people to live in.
Many trails lead down dirt roads to terraced rice fields on the hillside.
Qing'er's house is more modest than others.
Aunt Qing'er is around forty years old, and she is so thin that she looks like no human being.
A pair of eyes are deeply sunken into the sockets, and more than a dozen layers of eyelids are loosely stacked in the depression. The lips are somewhat shriveled and jet black. When Qing'er opened the door and ushered them into the house, she covered her head with a quilt.
"Grandma, the doctor is here."
"Don't, don't come here! Miss Qing won't treat me, won't treat me! The woman hid under the covers and cried out in a dumb voice.
Qing'er walked over to the table and picked out the wick.
"Grandma, it's not Miss Qing."
"Auntie, I'm the doctor under the mountain, just call me the second brother. Let me show you this. Bang Yue walked to the bedside.
"Down from the mountain?" The woman came out of the bed and sat on the edge of the bed.
After a moment's pause, she stretched out a lean arm.
Bang Yue was about to take her pulse, she suddenly covered her mouth, coughed violently, and then fell on the side of the bed, spitting out a small pool of black blood.
As soon as she coughed, there was a strange and unpleasant smell in the room.
"How long have you been sick?" Bang Yue grabbed her wrist and listened to the pulse.
"The cough is an old problem, and I have been vomiting blood for half a year." But the woman spoke clearly.
Bang Yue sighed slightly: "If you don't get treated, you will only have less than a month to live." ”
"Second son, please save Grandma!" Qing'er was shocked and pulled her brother to kneel in front of the bed.
"What do you do on weekdays besides farming and raising chickens?"
"Grandma, she ......" Qing'er was halfway through her sentence when she was interrupted by the woman.
"Didn't do anything else."
"Where's Abba Qing'er?" Bang Yue frowned lightly and asked again.
"Dead, dead for years." The woman said in a deep voice.
Bang Yue nodded, walked to the table, opened the baggage and prepared a pair of medicines.
"I can only relieve you of vomiting blood, your cough disease, you need to stay away from the place where dust gathers, slowly recuperate, and your life will be unhindered for the time being."
Seeing that the woman had taken the medicine, Bang Yue and Shaoge said goodbye and left.
Qing'er's house really couldn't accommodate the two of them, so the woman made a gesture to stay, so she let them go.
"Little Er, why did you ask her what she does on weekdays and mention her husband?"
Bang Yue smiled: "You should worry about where we sleep tonight." ”
Shaoge looked up at the stars in the sky and sighed: "In this way, it can only be like the night in Peach Blossom Valley, making do on the spot." ”
"It's cold here!" Bang Yue said angrily.
"It's not cold." He laughed wickedly.
He really found a grass nest, spread out a cotton jacket on it, lay down with Bang Yue in his arms, and then used another cotton jacket as a quilt to cover the two of them.
The padded jacket wasn't big enough, he thought about it, and wrapped her whole inside like a bear.
He hugged the padded jacket in his arms and said with a smile: "Isn't it cold?" ”
"You haven't slept well in two days." Bang Yue looked at him worriedly.
"I'm doing my breathing, it's fine."
"You're going to be out of energy like this, how do you deal with something when something happens?"
"Something? What did Xiao Er find? He smiled happily.
"Alas......" Bang Yue sighed, "I can't hide it from you, it's really an old fox." Aunt Qing'er is corpse poison. ”
"Huh?" He raised an eyebrow.
She said that she started vomiting blood half a year ago, which should be true. Half a year ago, she came into contact with a ...... The old corpse, whose bones began to decay, was still quite deep in contact before it was infected with corpse poison. As for her old cough, it was caused by long-term inhalation of excessive dust, and I can't cure this, I can only treat the disease, not the injury. ”
"Huh?" Shaoge smiled, "Interesting. The soil and soil environment of this Wuqi mountain is excellent. If it is really just farming and breeding, how can it be inhaled in excess for a long time...... Dust? Xiao Er, although I can understand the meaning of 'dust', this is the first time I have heard this expression. ”
"You've never heard of it much. For example, this middle road, the upper road. When I hear it, it means something else, but I can't explain it to you. Bang Yue snickered.
"Where does Xiao Er think the secret is hidden?"
"I guess...... Yamanaka?! ”
"Hmm."
"Yan Qi brought you here, is it related to the secret of Wuqi Mountain? If we find out the secrets of the mountains...... But what I am more puzzled about is another thing, Cheng Lizheng said that we can only stay in the mountains for seven days, so when the deadline comes, what will they do to us? We don't have much restriction on our personal freedom, I really don't understand. ”
"Then don't think about it. Go to sleep, go back early tomorrow, and I'll catch up on sleep. ”
"Yes." Bang Yue grimaced, and then closed her eyes honestly.
The night was quiet, with occasional mountain winds whistling by.
She lay in his arms, full of peace.
His breathing was light and long, and it looked like he was practicing.
I don't know when I fell asleep, but when he woke her up, the first rays of morning light were poking his head out from under an acre of rice fields.
Bang Yue opened her eyes in a daze, and saw that the layers of golden rice fields were lit up one by one.
"Hey, I've seen it!" She muttered, closing her eyes and wanting to sleep.
"Did you see it without leaving home?"
"Hmm...... It seems to be, and it doesn't seem to be. She opened her eyes again, as if taken aback: "Ah! It's dawn! Get back to town and get a good night's sleep. ”
Shaoge shook his head and pulled her up funny. One put on a cotton jacket and walked down the mountain.
The morning dew was very heavy, the air was damp and cool, and I tightened my padded jacket, but I was very grateful to Cheng Lizheng.
Is it possible...... The so-called thing that has no return is really the old emperor's calendar? Is this an ordinary tourist attraction now?
No.
Bang Yue shook her head slightly. The people who entered the town of Wuqi would no longer be outside, and if this matter had nothing to do with the people in the town, then the only explanation would be...... Temporal rifts.
It's so mysterious, it's better to believe that this is a den of bandits.
