Chapter 13: The Cold in the High Places (1)

Nearly a thousand years have passed, and the cleanest days since spring have begun. It's been half a month, Qiu Cheng has a little rest in the county lord's mansion every day, and he has to go out to pretend to be a man and a few friends in his free time, and travel to communicate, fortunately, they are still very interested in some of Qiu Cheng's views. If she always appears, she is also afraid of being known by too many people, and then she will encounter trouble when she wants to leave, today is just idle, let the flower gravel prepare her bags to go out to visit Liu Shi, it is very warm outside, there are occasionally a few magpies on the side of the apricot blossom tree on the flower branches, as if they know that someone is looking at it, and then they flew away with shame, leaving the branches that have just grown new leaves in the air and swaying, a branch of red apricot out of the wall, the stamens are fragrant, the first dew is half-opened, with buds to be released, because of the street, it is very lively when you go out, there was a shout on the street, there were a lot of snacks on the street, lively and extraordinary, red fruits.

Autumn Orange asked, "Do you want to eat?" "Seeing that the flower gravel has been staring outside, I asked, if you want to eat, go buy two." The slave and maid came back at once, and "stumbled out of the carriage."

The carriage was unimpeded all the way, and the incense cart was placed in front of the door and could not move forward, Qiu Cheng opened the door curtain and looked out, only to see that it was still the same as half a month ago, surrounded by a group of people, including many prostitutes and women buying vegetables, I don't know what they are looking at? "Gravel get out of the car and see what's going on up ahead?"

"Yes, Childe." ..., but after a while, Hua Li got into the car, his eyes were a little incredulous, and he said incredulously, "Childe, do you know what I saw?"

Hua Li looked at it and said, there is a big vat in front of the brothel, there is a child without clothes in the jar of lotus flowers, I heard others say that it has been half a month, it is estimated that the last time the son came to him, the current day is not particularly warm but the baby sits naked in the cold pool and is pitiful, from time to time someone throws copper coins and cotton clothes to him to give him, Childe..., I... It's cold to think about," the flower gravel tugged at the corner of Autumn Orange's clothes. How could Qiu Cheng not understand Hua Li's thoughts, she didn't think that she had read such a book in modern times before, saying that it was in ancient Changyi, some people were disobedient, and they would use such methods * Them, the means are extremely cruel, and others are the same, some of them are inhumane, and even more, in the end, most of them still succumb, and it is already very good that the child can last for more than half a month, Qiu Cheng said, "Okay, others have nothing to do with us after all." ”

Qiu Cheng laughed at herself..., I'm very cruel, I'm obviously capable, but I can't save you when I die.... "We went in through the back door, and the carriage stopped there."

Walked to the backyard and buckled the door for a long time and no one responded, helpless, only to go back and enter from the main door, Qiu Cheng took the moon fan to cover his face, and finally squeezed in, compared to the outside so noisy, the inside is much quieter, maybe the woman is shy and does not want people to know the secret of this room, the flower room that the ladies love to go to is not many people at this time, just went upstairs, a purple figure as fast as light and shadow came to hug Qiu Cheng, "It's you." Ten fingers clasped, put the little face on the chest, and complained coquettishly, "Sister, why are you only here now, Xiaohua has been waiting for you for half a month," After finishing speaking, he didn't forget the tears in his eyes, fortunately, after the last time, he was already familiar with this person, no matter how he couldn't deceive her, I don't know, how many women he deceived with this appearance, as for himself, of course he wouldn't believe what he said, just to avoid suspicion or try to be perfunctory, "Sister, some things have been delayed on the road these days, didn't you come today." "God knows she's really the worst at dealing with this kind of person. Ruhua listened to the little face rubbing on Qiu Cheng's chest, Qiu Cheng thought that there were really all kinds of people here, some were as delicate as flowers, and some were as sick as Liu Shi, "Okay, sister still has things to do, I'll come to see you later." Ruhua was dissatisfied, but in the end she left sensationally, "When my sister came, I knew to see Liu Shi, obviously he was by your side." ”

Ruhua is gone, and he can finally go upstairs to see Liu Shi, the wooden staircase makes a sound of trampling, pushing open the door Qiu Cheng opened the window to let the sunlight shine in so that the room would not be so dead and silent, the man still looked sickly, nesting beside the bed, as if he saw Qiu Cheng coming, and he hadn't reacted yet, "You..., here?" "Still inaudible." Well, how are you feeling better these days? I asked Hua Gravel to help you catch the medicine every day, and you took it on time? ”

When I got closer, I saw that the man's cheeks were pale and his lips were colorless, and you go out first, stay outside the door and don't let people in.

Yes, Childe. Hearing the sound of the doors and windows closed, Qiu Cheng saw that he was about to get out of bed and said, "You don't have to come down, just sit on the bed." ”

"It's enough for Liu Shi to be so concerned by the county lord, in recent days, I really feel better, how is the county lord doing recently?" I don't care about myself, but I care about others, "It's okay, it's business as usual." ”

"That's good, Liu Shi has nothing to worry about in this life." Why is it that when he talks to her, there are always some old people who want to live and die, and they are really so difficult to treat? I don't understand it at the moment, but I can talk about these things later, "You are not so desperate, since I promised Fenglian, I will try my best to cure you." I heard that you know how to heal, and I know the truth that it is difficult for a doctor to heal himself, don't easily escape from reality, I will ask Hua Li to send some books, you can read them in your spare time, and use it as a way to pass the time and be a little interested. ”

Sensing that something was wrong, Qiu Cheng got up to check, "What's wrong with you?"

He raised his hand to cover his face, his coughing voice violated violently in the air, sounding serious, feeling his heart and lungs about to come out, Qiu Cheng saw that his face was paler than before, and he wanted to walk over to take a look, but suddenly Liu Shi shouted loudly, "The county lord stays!" Qiu Cheng's steps did not rise, his face was stunned, and he was a little frightened by his shouting, why don't you want to let people pass, isn't it the best opportunity when you are sick, you can let yourself take him away? No, or rather... He.
