Chapter 5 Who?
Xiangmiao remembered her sister's words, and when the time came, she would cook a hot meal, but after all, the two children were only four years old, and they were not strong enough to tie them together, and seeing that it was dark and her sister had not come back, she was already in tears, and she didn't dare to cry if she wanted to cry.
At this time, he finally heard the sound of knocking on the door, Donglin jumped up to open the door, and Xiangmiao also ran to the door.
As soon as the door opened, it was a sweaty fragrant flower!
Donglin threw himself into Xianghua's arms and cried, "Eldest sister, why did you come back so late?" ”
Xianghua put her finger to her lips and asked the two of them to whisper, "You guys come with me." ”
In the middle of winter, when it gets dark early, most of the people in the village have eaten and nestled in their houses to make a fire. Cheng Tiezhu's family at the end of the village has a big black dog, which is fierce and vicious, and can scare crying children when they are usually leashed, but Donglin and Xiangmiao are a little scared.
Xianghua walked in the front, and the big black dog looked up vigilantly when he saw that someone was in the dark, but when he saw that it was Xianghua, not only did he not scream, but he wagged his tail happily, and Donglin and Xiangmiao were shocked.
…… Isn't this big black dog even afraid of being a butcher? Why is he so close to his sister?
Xianghua gently patted the big black dog's head to make it quieter, and took Donglin and Xiangmiao to a haystack, and whispered, "Whatever you see later, don't scream." ”
Xiangae and Donglin both nodded nervously.
Xianghua gently pushed the upper layer of hay away, revealing the bloody person below, and the two children almost screamed, but fortunately they covered their mouths in time.
"I picked it up on the mountain, he's still alive, but if we don't save him, he'll die, do you want to save him?"
Donglin and Xiangmiao thought about it for a while and nodded.
Xianghua smiled with relief: "Now I have to move him in, but if it is not good to be seen by others, Xiangmiao will help me keep guard, after Donglin is broken, is it clear?" ”
"Clear!"
The two children felt excited, firstly, this was a great good deed, and secondly, this big night "joint operation", they were the first to suffer, Xianghua was pulled in front, Donglin helped push in the back, and finally safely got this person into the house.
Xiangmiao tied the door shut, and Xianghua and Donglin took a breath of air, and both collapsed.
"This man...... Why is it so heavy......" Xianghua got up panting.
There was only a small oil lamp in the room that fluttered slightly, and Donglin and Xiangmiao didn't even want to eat, they stared at their sister's every move with big eyes.
Xianghua dipped a cloth in warm water and wiped the person's face clean, and as the blood stains on the face decreased, the person's true face was also revealed, and Xianghua was stunned for a moment when she saw it.
Xiangmiao said intently: "Sister, he is so good-looking!" ”
Donglin frowned and said, "How can a boy say that he is good-looking......"
Xiangmiao didn't care, and looked carefully: "He looks so white." ”
Donglin pursed his lips and stopped talking to Xiangmiao.
Xianghua had already guessed that this person's origin was by no means unusual, this appearance and clothing, and this murderous scar was definitely not something that a countryman would have.
This man's clothes were stuck to his body with coagulated blood, and if he took off a little, he had to wipe it with a towel dipped in warm water, otherwise he would tear off most of the skin on his body. Take off his coat for him, Xianghua is already sweating profusely.
Donglin asked his sister in a low voice, "Who injured this brother?" ”
Xianghua frowned: "I don't know, it's too ruthless." ”
The young man's facial features were excellent, but his face was snow-white, his eyes were closed, his chapped lips were trembling, and there were words in his mouth, but he couldn't hear what he was talking about. There were wounds on his chest and back, his left arm was bruised and swollen from the cold, and what was even more terrifying was the wound on his elbow that was deep and bone-deep, almost broken by a thread.
She couldn't touch the place below the belt, so she could only moisten his lips with water, wipe his body, and find her father's torn cotton jacket to put on him.
After all this, the two dolls on the kang were already sleepy and asleep, she took off their shoes, covered them with quilts, and went to the stove to add some firewood, only to find that she was also exhausted, so she slept next to her younger siblings.
The first time the rooster crowed, Xianghua woke up, to be precise, she was scared awake.
In the dream, she got up, and there were two little dolls on the bed and a white-faced young master waiting to be fed with his mouth open, but when she opened the rice jar, there was no grain of rice in it, and a big mouse pounced on her.
This dream was too real, causing Xianghua to wake up in an instant. When I got up, I saw that there was still some rice left in the rice tank, but it was really not much, and now there was an extra mouth, and the time that this rice could support had to be discounted.
Her gaze drifted to the dried hyssop and baiji, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
Cheng Gang, a barefoot doctor in the village, lives in the east of the village. His father is a barefoot doctor of the older generation, and Chenggang inherited his father's craftsmanship, and he also picks and sells some herbs, which is considered a well-off family in the village.
Cheng Gang saw a head poking his head at the door of the house, got up to look, and found that it was Cheng Xianghua, the eldest daughter of the Cheng Er family.
"Xianghua, what's wrong?"
Xianghua raised her face and smiled, and handed over a pack of oxknee: "Uncle, what do you think of this?" ”
Cheng Gang took it half-convinced, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, looked at it carefully, and asked a little surprised: "Xianghua, this is what you picked?" ”
Xianghua nodded.
"Not bad, not bad." Cheng Gang nodded and looked again. He knew Xianghua's family background, and he also knew that this child was not easy, so he didn't have the heart to inquire.
"Uncle, I don't have any money, if I give these to you, can you come to my house?"
Cheng Gang was puzzled: "What's wrong with your family?" Is Xiangmiao sick or Donglin sick? ”
Xianghua was embarrassed to say it clearly, so she only said, "Uncle, you can see it at a glance." ”
"Okay, you wait for me to get the medicine box". He closed the door with the medicine box and followed Xianghua to her house.
Xianghua didn't say much, and took him directly into the room, and Chenggang immediately saw a pale face.
"This ...... Who? ”
Xianghua gave a general explanation of the origin of this person, and naturally omitted the matter of the phoenix gem in the middle.
Cheng Gang was skeptical, but after seeing the young man's injury, he gasped: "Hey, it's not easy for him to be alive!" ”
Xianghua remembered what the big white cat said and asked, "He's not lightly injured, right?" ”
"Look at this chest and back, and this knife wound, God......" Cheng Gang frowned while inspecting, and finally came to a conclusion, "I'm afraid this is not the son of an ordinary family, you see that the clothes here are all made of satin." ”
Xianghua nodded, there are no such characters in this mountain.
"Uncle, he is like this now, do you think he can still be saved?"
"It's all here." Cheng Gang pondered for a moment, "If this injury were someone else, it might have been gone a long time ago, maybe he didn't deserve to die, but he survived." In the future, he can only recuperate, but I think it will be difficult for him to return to normal nine times out of ten, and I am afraid that he will be just a waste person in the future. ”
Xianghua was a little anxious: "Why did you become a waste?" ”
