Chapter Twenty-Four: Names
"Mother!"
A scream came from Shangguan Huan's bedroom.
Meng Yuxuan, who was boiling medicine in the kitchen, trembled in her heart, and hurriedly put down the spoon in her hand and ran to the bedroom. With a bang, she pushed the door open and saw a scene that shocked her.
I saw the man lying on the bed pinching Shangguan Xi's neck, Shangguan Xi's face was purple, and his eyes were bulging wide.
Meng Yuxuan panicked. She picked up the teapot on the table and slammed it the back of the man's head.
Bang! The man fell down and let go of Shangguan Xi's neck.
Shangguan Xi sat on the ground, panting with a painful expression. Meng Yuxuan hugged him, gently patted his back and comforted: "It's okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." ”
"Woo...... Mother, this uncle is so scary. He suddenly opened his eyes just now, and then asked me who I was and if I wanted to harm him. Then he grabbed me by the neck. Mother, is this uncle sick? He didn't seem to know me just now. Shangguan Xi said while crying.
This time he was scared. Meng Yuxuan comforted him for a long time, but he still had palpitations. Meng Yuxuan coaxed him to sleep, and coaxed him for a long time before letting him fall asleep.
"Xi'er Niang, Xi'er Niang......" Aunt Lin's voice came from outside the courtyard. Are you alright? ”
Meng Yuxuan had just put Shangguanxi on the bed when she heard Aunt Lin's voice come out. She wiped the water on her hands and said with a smile, "Auntie, it's okay." Is there something wrong? ”
"I was working in the fields just now! When I came back, I heard that Xi'er was crying just now. What's wrong? I don't believe the words of those long-tongued women. You hurt Xi'er so much, how could you hit him? Is something wrong? Tell your aunt if you have something, and your aunt will help you. "Just now Feng'er came back and said that Xi'er Niang would help her bring a letter to her younger brother who was far away in Licheng, and said that this matter was very troublesome, and Xi'er Niang had made a lot of efforts. She knew she wasn't looking at the wrong person. This kid has a heart. Therefore, Xi'er's father is not here, and their family should help if there is something.
Meng Yuxuan didn't expect that Shangguan Xi's scream would cause misunderstanding among the villagers. She doesn't care if others misunderstand her, but she can't let Aunt Lin's family misunderstand her.
"Auntie, don't worry, Xi'er is fine! He had a nightmare just now, so he screamed. I just put him to sleep. If you don't believe me, come in and take a look. Meng Yuxuan said with a smile.
"So that's what happened. I'll just say you're not that kind of person. It's okay. I'm relieved. Aunt Lin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't take the matter of hawthorn cake to heart. Who hasn't had bad luck when they have it? It really doesn't work, let's think of other ways to make money. By the way, aren't you going to raise a few chicks? My old hen hatched a litter. ”
Meng Yuxuan really wants to raise some chickens. But the hawthorn cake was not sold, she did not make any money, and she did not buy it back today. Tomorrow she had to go to the city, and she thought that tomorrow if she made money, those hawthorn cakes were sold, and she would buy more chickens and raise them.
"Thank you, auntie. But you also have chickens in your house. I'm not in a hurry, I'll go to the city another day to buy a dozen and come back. Meng Yuxuan said: "That aunt, I still have to cook......"
"Yes, look at me, I don't have the strength to see you, and I can't stop talking about you when I see you. Then I'm going to work, too. Aunt Lin said a few words outside the fence and left.
Thankfully, she didn't enter the house. If she did enter the house, the man inside would have made any noise to explain it.
Meng Yuxuan went to the kitchen to bring out the medicine and walked into Shangguan Huan's room. The man in the bed hadn't woken up yet. But for the sake of his body, he had to be fed medicine earlier.
She looked at the bastard who almost killed Shangguan Xi, and really wanted to strangle him to death.
If she was a little late just now, Shangguan Xi had already been killed by this guy, how could she explain to Shangguan Huan? I'm afraid that the man will kill her directly.
"Forget it. I took this trouble back on my shoulders. I admit it. Meng Yuxuan took a spoonful of decoction and fed it to the man's mouth.
A man in a coma will not open his mouth to drink medicine. Now there is only one packet of medicine left, and there is nothing to be wasted. She tried a few times, and he just wouldn't open his mouth. There was really no choice but to help him up and feed him spoonful by spoon.
The man's eyelids moved.
Just when Meng Yuxuan noticed his movements and was letting go of him, he slowly opened his eyes.
At that moment, he looked at the woman next to him, and doubts flashed in his eyes.
Meng Yuxuan was ready to make sarcastic remarks. After all, the man's mouth was so stinky that no good words ever came out of his mouth. But the words that came to her mouth did not come out, and the man's pure eyes made her feel a little strange in her heart. She couldn't say it, she just felt that this man's aura was different from just now.
"Who are you?" The man said.
"Your creditor." Meng Yuxuan snorted: "Pretending to be like that." Are you afraid that I will settle accounts with you, so you will play stupid for me? Since he woke up, he drank the medicine. ”
Meng Yuxuan took a bowl and poured him medicine. Grunt, drink most of the bowl of soup and medicine. The man's mouth was full of black liquid. He was wearing Shangguan Huan's clothes, and the medicinal juice was dripping on his clothes. Seeing this, Meng Yuxuan was reluctant. After all, a piece of clothing costs dozens of dollars, and this is still the cheapest clothes. She is too poor to afford clothes now, so of course she has to save money.
"Girl...... Just now you said that you are my creditor. The man continued, "Can you tell me what I owe the girl?" ”
"Please call me Madame. Didn't you see my son just now? I'm married, how can I call it a girl? Also, you're so polite now, why did you go just now? No matter how nice you say it now, I can't keep you. You almost killed my son. Meng Yuxuan said unhappily: "I don't want to leave a dangerous person by my side." ”
"I'm going to kill your son? This...... Why is that? Madame didn't know. I had a disease and sometimes I couldn't control myself, and I didn't even know what I was doing. I must have been sick just now. The man said, "Madame, thank you for saving me." In order not to trouble you, I will leave soon. ”
"......" Meng Yuxuan looked at the person in front of her with suspicious eyes.
Is it a different person?
Why is it so different from the attitude just now?
Is that angry and lifeless state just now also because of a strange disease? And that man...... It's a poor man, too.
"What's your name?" Meng Yuxuan sat on the edge of the bed and talked calmly with the man.
This is the right way for the savior and the saved to get along. The scene of drawing their swords just now is like two enemies with deep grudges.
"Shen Chenzhi." The man said, "What do you call Madame?" ”
"My surname is Meng." Meng Yuxuan didn't want to talk about it. "It seems that you are in good spirits, and you should be fine. Rest well! You can leave when you are rested. ”
"Mrs. Meng, I have a reluctant request." Shen Chenzhi looked at Meng Yuxuan and said distressedly.
"Since it's a reluctant invitation, then don't say it. You also say that you are sick, and you can't control yourself when you get sick. You almost killed my son just now. How do I keep you? How dare I keep you? Meng Yuxuan said: "I risked my life to save you, and I also boiled medicine for you, and I have done my best." ”
"It's me who is greedy. Thank you, Madame, for saving your life. Shen Chenzhi lowered his eyes and said bitterly: "Since this is the case, I will leave soon." ”
"I've already boiled the porridge, you can drink some porridge!" Meng Yuxuan said and walked out. It didn't take long for her to return to her room with the porridge. "The porridge has been chilled and you can eat it straight. If you don't have any good food at home, you can eat whatever you want! ”
"Madame's grace, Shen Chenzhi remembers it in my heart." Shen Chenzhi clenched his fists and made a shake. As he moved, the wounds in both arms tingled, slowing him down.
"No need. I just don't want to die. Meng Yuxuan said lightly: "I never thought about repaying the favor or not." As long as you don't take revenge. ”
According to his state just now, it is really possible to take revenge. I don't know when he'll go back to that state, and it's horrendous to think about it.
After Meng Yuxuan walked out of the room, Shen Chenzhi looked around. The dilapidated house was something he had never seen before, not even his thatched house. But in such a dilapidated place, there is such a peerless beauty who captivates the country and the city. The concubine in the palace is known as the first beauty in the world, and compared with it, this woman is far superior to her. If the lustful king in the palace sees this woman, I am afraid that he will do something that will make the world laugh again.
It's a pity that the beautiful woman has become her own son, and her husband is still a country man. Such a beautiful woman, what a waste.
Scold! Shen Chenzhi! You can't protect yourself now, but you're still thinking about what you have and don't. Are you tired of it? Shen Chenzhi thought self-deprecatingly. 、
He should now think about how to get out of here and not be discovered by the pursuers. Once discovered, it's an egg.
However, his injuries are so severe, how easy is it to get out of here? The horses and baggage are missing, and the important official seals inside are missing, how can this be good?
Meng Yuxuan finished eating, returned to the room, and then slipped into the space. She sprinkled the seeds she bought today on the land in the space, and then watered the space.
"What is this?" Meng Yuxuan looked at the vegetables growing in the ground. The fruit was purple and long, in the shape of a cucumber.
The seeds she got from the restaurant owner last time were almost ripe. It's just that they look weird, and almost all of them don't know each other. It seems that she should go to the study to find a book on vegetable cultivation and read it. I don't know where the books in the study came from, and some of them have pictures on them. Just by looking at it, she could understand the meaning.
Meng Yuxuan came out of the study with a thick book in her hand. She rummaged through the pages and compared them with the vegetables in the soil.
"So it's called eggplant...... This one is called a sword bean. This is...... Momordica charantia. What a strange name! Why is it called bitter melon? Is it bitter? Meng Yuxuan was talking to herself while comparing. Anyway, Shangguan Huan is not here, so I'll try these dishes tonight. No matter how smart Xi'er is, she is also a child, and she doesn't know whole grains. Presumably he wouldn't suspect anything. ”
