Chapter 17: Coincidence or Not?

Fu Qingyu smiled softly, "Xiao Gongzi doesn't need to be polite, you are not only the person rescued by Jingyi, but also fate, just a meal, it doesn't take much effort." ”

"I don't know what to call Madame? I may have to haunt the valley for some more time, and I'm afraid I'll trouble Madame. ”

"I'm just an ordinary woman, what lady is not a lady, my husband's family died early, I depend on my son for my life, I took root here, and I have to take care of everyone, so I have a peaceful life now."

"Xiao Gongzi calls me Aunt Wu, you can live with peace of mind, the scenery here has a unique charm, and it is not too late to leave when you are well recovered." The words were not hurried, and Fu Qingyu's generous appearance made Xiao Yichen not very sure.

"Thank you Aunt Wu, I don't know where Aunt Wu is?" As if asking casually, Xiao Yichen's face was still gentle and elegant.

Jing Yi looked at Xiao Yichen a little strangely, why did this person suddenly become enthusiastic about her mother? Fu Qingyu knew what Xiao Yichen was paying attention to, and he didn't care.

So what? Isn't it? Nothing will change.

That man, that home, is no longer a place for their mother and daughter.

got up and cleaned up the things on the table, Fu Qingyu said casually: "In a poor and remote place, there is nothing to say, many people may not know." ”

"Look at Xiao Gongzi's appearance today, if you don't go out with Jingyi, it's not good for your body to recover if you hold it in the house."

It's always not good to be aggressive and make the other party suspicious, Xiao Yichen responded to Fu Qingyu's words, Jingyi pouted, what can he do while sitting? Watch her catch wild goats?

When only the two of them were left, Xiao Yichen's ability to observe words and emotions did not need to be deliberate, just at a glance, he could see Jingyi's reluctance. He didn't force it, knowing that his current self was just a drag on Jingyi.

Although he agreed to Aunt Wu, Xiao Yichen didn't want to cause trouble to Jingyi.

"I want to trouble you to send me back, I ate a little too much breakfast today, I won't accompany you around, go back and rest." Xiao Yichen smiled, everyone thinks that he is a good person for the sake of others.

Only Jing Yi looked at him fixedly, if it weren't for the influence of Uncle Mu and Aunt Lin, she had a knowledge of human skin and face, she really suspected that this person lived with a mask all day long, and he always looked like a smile, and his gentle and elegant appearance was a bit dazzling in Jing Yi's eyes.

"You've said so, and I don't force it." Jing Yi sent Xiao Yichen back and left on his own.

Looking at Jing Yi's distant back until he disappeared, Xiao Yichen sighed in his heart, he didn't dare to hope for a life like Jing Yi as he wanted.

In the following days, Mu Tuohua soaked Xiao Yichen with some new medicinal soup from time to time, and at the same time, the two bowls of medicinal soup that thundered and couldn't move the black paint every day, and the tongue of the bitter person was numb.

Even if Aunt Wu's craftsmanship is good, Xiao Yichen can't taste anything, in addition to the bitter taste in his mouth, there is also a little bloody taste, and later learned from Jingyi's mouth that Mu Huatuo used the blood of the white snake as a medicine.

It is said that the good medicine is bitter, and the bitter medicine soup that is extremely unpalatable is poured down, Xiao Yichen's condition has improved visibly, and his legs have gradually gained strength, and he can walk without sitting on a chair and on crutches.

After walking back and forth in the valley with Jing Yi a few times, Xiao Yichen remembered the route clearly, and occasionally Jing Yi hunted prey, and was in a good mood, and would take Xiao Yichen to a slightly farther place.

On this day, Jingyi went out and didn't return, Xiao Yichen tried to walk by himself without crutches, and just after walking two or three steps, he was sweating profusely. Since childhood, he has struggled with Gu poison and exercised his tenacious and unyielding temperament, which made Xiao Yichen force himself to take four more steps.

When the last foot is taken, the legs can no longer be supported, the whole body falls forward, and the arms are subconsciously ready to support the action.

"Be careful!" The sound of the wooden basin falling to the ground sounded, and Fu Qingyu had already dragged Xiao Yichen, who was about to fall to the ground.

With a wry smile in his heart, Xiao Yichen didn't want others to see his embarrassed appearance, but he also knew that Fu Qingyu had good intentions, so he stabilized his body and said, "Thank you, Aunt Wu, in order to help me, you got all your clothes off the ground." ”

Xiao Yichen looked at the clothes scattered on the ground guiltily, a little embarrassed.

In fact, Fu Qingyu didn't expect to take Xiao Yichen a hand, probably because he was the son of a good sister, so he subconsciously took more care. I secretly told myself not to be too obvious.

Pick up the clothes on the floor and put them back in the basin.

"I can't watch you lie on the ground, can you?" Fu Qingyu looked at Xiao Yichen with amusement and continued: "These clothes haven't been washed yet, it's okay." ”

Handing the crutches that were put aside to Xiao Yichen, Fu Qingyu was about to leave with the basin, but was stopped by Xiao Yichen.

"Aunt Wu, if it weren't for me, these clothes wouldn't be ......"

"If I can, I'll wash it with Aunt Wu, just because I'm idle and bored." Xiao Yichen looked at Fu Qingyu with scorching eyes.

He had to have more contact with Aunt Wu before he could gradually observe whether this person was the wife that Uncle Huo was looking for.

I didn't expect Xiao Yichen to offer to wash clothes with her, how could she let the dignified Prince Wei do such a rough job, and she subconsciously refused. But Xiao Yichen's black eyes were strong, and the begging was strong, so that Fu Qingyu's words of refusal went around in his mouth and swallowed it again.

"If you really want to help me, help me fetch water at the well." Fu Qingyu couldn't bear to disappoint Xiao Yichen after all, and said a compromise method.

Anyway, she was washing clothes by the well, in the past, Jingyi gave her water, today Jingyi left early, there was no plan to wash clothes, she also looked a little upset, so she put the dirty clothes in the wooden basin and prepared to go to the well.

"Okay!" Xiao Yichen answered, and followed Fu Qingyu to the well.

watched Fu Qingyu soak his clothes in water, wiped some soap on the slate, fished out a piece of clothing from the water and rubbed it on the slate, and after a few clicks, the clothes became clean.

In the capital, most of the people wash their clothes with wooden sticks, this method of rubbing on the stone slab, Xiao Yichen saw it for the first time, and couldn't help asking: "Aunt Wu, shouldn't the clothes be washed with wooden sticks?" ”

Fu Qingyu smiled: "This is the soil method in our hometown, there are rough slabs on the stone slabs, and soap horns can make the clothes wash faster." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yichen suddenly remembered that Uncle Huo had said before that he had just married his wife into the door, and the wedding night should have been sweet and lingering, but he didn't expect that some guests drank too much, knocked over a table of wine and food, and spilled all of them on his robe, which was really embarrassing.

When everyone dispersed, he entered the cave room wearing a strange smell, and was disgusted by the bride.

The wedding dress was a lot of silver, and the bride was distressed when she looked dirty, and said that she would wash her clothes on the wedding night. Uncle Huo also smiled and said that his wedding night was spent with his wife washing clothes on the stone slab by the well.

"Aunt Wu, did you say that it was a coincidence that an elder I know has exactly the same way as you wash clothes?"
