Chapter 5: Qibei at the beginning of love (5)
"What is this? What's wrong with my hand?"
Xiaoxiao immediately stepped forward, quickly glanced at Qi Bei's hand, and stretched out two fingers to take out a spotted beetle (pΓ dΓΉ) from the lamppost. "Why did the spotted beetle in the north of the country come to the city?" Xiaoxiao stared at the curled little caterpillar, wondering.
Qi Bei's right hand became more and more swollen, as if it had been grilled on a fire.
"Senior sister, be careful, don't touch it, it's really biting. β
Xiaoxiao was very skillful in holding the piebald beetle: "No, I didn't touch its stinger." β
"Whew, my hands hurt so much. Qi Bei cried with a sad face, and shouted loudly in his heart, it's over, I'm going to die, I haven't seen her for the last time, I'm going to die, woo woo, although I can give her my life, I don't care, I can give her anything, I want to give her the best things in the world, and my life can also be given to her, because I like her, but God you can't let me die like this, I haven't given her anything, woo woo.
Smell your wrist again, hey, the fragrance left by Mrs. Bailing is gone, and the stench emitted by the insects sticks to your hands.
"I can't kill anyone, isn't it just a bite allergy? Xiaoxiao stepped on the dead beetle, quickly opened the small porcelain bottle she carried with her, and skillfully picked out a little thin paste and applied it to the back of Qi Bei's hand, the cool smell had a good calming effect.
"The elixir passed down by Daddy, endure it first, and it will be fine for a while. After Xiaoxiao finished applying the ointment, she quickly closed the lid, and the peppermint oil volatilized, and the effect of the medicine would be halved.
Qi Bei took a deep breath, patience is his strength, this is no problem.
Xiaoxiao used a candle to shine inside the lamppost to confirm that there were no other poisonous insects, so she was relieved. She looked left and right, still puzzled: "It's strange." The spotted beetle only lives in the hot and humid environment of the country, so how can it appear in the windy city far away in this cold season?"
Qi Bei's swollen hands had subsided a little, and he looked at the thin cream with envy: "Oh, it's gone~ Senior sister, you are so good." Master's ointment is truly spiritual. β
Xiaoxiao listened to the praise and began to be a little arrogant: "Of course." My father took the Hundred Opera Troupe to Jiuding Country in the land of Xia Yuan, a poisonous insect in one place, he had never seen anything, I followed and saw a lot, this little worm, I don't know that it feels terrible, if you don't deal with it in time, the whole person will be poisoned, but if you know, just use a thin ointment, it's very simple. β
Qi Bei opened ten fingers and clapped: "Senior sister is the most powerful!"
Xiaoxiao: "You're the stupidest." Oh, don't applaud, your hands aren't all right, don't shake around. β
Qi Bei smiled and muttered, "I'm really stupid." I don't understand, didn't Jun'an City implement a simpler night light? Why does Fenglin City still use these old antiques? With a universal night light, you don't have to put your hand in to put candles. Also, don't talk about the courtyard where we live temporarily, I also paid attention on the way here, the street lamps on both sides of the street are also very old, in addition to the street lamps, there are many things, all of them are that, yes, the golden crow god. β
After dealing with the sudden beetle stinging emergency, Xiaoxiao began to be sleepy again, yawning one after another: "Well, there is no way, the wind is in the city and loves the old, and I believe in the Golden Crow God, but whenever there is anything in the city, it has to be related to the Golden Crow God, you see, the lamppost of the Golden Crow God, the city wall, the temple, the murals, the carvings, the festival celebrations, I also heard that the packaging of the holiday gifts here, the moon cakes and pastries made are all printed with the Golden Crow God, and the carved radishes are all a Golden Crow God." Hey, it's annoying to watch too much. I said are you okay? I'm going to sleep, I'm going to sleep after two days of traveling. β
"Wait, wait, good sister, I'm ...... I can't sleep. Senior sister, my good junior sister, Xiaoxiao, you can chat with me for a while. You see, my hands are not yet complete, so you can wait until my hands are all right, and then go to sleep. During this time, you can chat with me. Qi Bei begged.
"Oh my God, senior brother, the thin ointment will reduce the swelling soon, but it will be completely recovered, it will take a day or two, and you told me not to sleep for a day or two?"
"No, no, no, talk to me. β
Unlucky, Xiaoxiao is so sleepy that she is dying. For the sake of his brother, give him a face to talk to. She braced the corners of her eyes with the palms of her hands, trying not to close them. Inhale the cool smell of the thin paste left on your fingers, and it can also refresh your mind.
It's the middle of the moon.
It's the second half of the night.
I've never seen my brother recite a monologue for two hours, it's really rare.
But what did he say?
Xiaoxiao couldn't turn his sleepy and dull brain.
Oh, I'm so sleepy-
β...... Senior sister, do you still remember, when Master was alive, he showed me a hexagram, saying that it was not appropriate for me to develop in the southeast, and there would be disasters in my fate. I understand now that the southeast refers to the wind coming to the city, and the disaster has happened, woo. β
Zhang Zhang was so sleepy that his mouth had fallen off, and Xiaoxiao was indifferent to the foreshadowing of his senior brother: "What? You don't want to come to Fenglin City? Yes, it's a lot of hard work! It's really not easy to come all the way, the bandits of the dangerous Yu Mountain, the desert wolf bandits, and the terrifying monsters, even the city gate almost didn't come in." Fortunately, we are blessed with a great life. Cut, what kind of ancient city protected by the Golden Crow God, it's not fun or safe at all. Don't say you don't want to come, I don't want to go this way. β
Qi Bei doesn't feel that he is "blessed".
"Alas, junior sister, you didn't understand. I still don't think I should have come to the city. I'm not saying I don't want to come. It's that I shouldn't have come. I know you all want to come. After all, you can get the invitation of the Taishi Mansion of Fenglin City and come here to perform a big show, and you can earn a lot of silver. But I shouldn't have come. β
Xiaoxiao was even more dizzy. This senior brother of his own, he doesn't produce a fart by kicking three feet on weekdays, and he never speaks when he should speak, which is more boring than a stuffy gourd; but it is not necessary that when a tendon twitches, no one can understand what he is talking about - you say that a big man, how can he talk nonsense several times more than that of an uncle and aunt?
The girl stared, trying to focus her eyes on Qi Bei's face, but her ears seemed to be stuffed with cotton, and the babbling of the senior brother turned into a whining wind.
She's sleepy.
"What are you talking about?"
"......" Qi Bei couldn't speak. He's shy.
Xiaoxiao said: "Senior brother, you have made an old mistake again. Although it is said that you always 'open your mouth to die', you have to say what you have to say. Obviously there is something in my heart, but I just don't say it, and ask us to guess. Who has the kung fu to guess what you think every day. If you have something to say, don't say I'm going to sleep. β
