Chapter 102: Going Home
Xianghua took a good bath, and her dress was also new, and the soft bed made her refreshed, and the whole person was full of energy when she had breakfast the next day.
The one who came to lead the way was Wanwan, the daughter of the prefect.
Wanwan's body size is about the same as Xianghua, and after careful questioning, I found out that the two were actually the same year, but Wanwan was two months younger than Xianghua. But Wanwan was raised in a well-informed family, thoughtful and polite.
Xianghua looked at her and looked a little like the prefect, both with round faces. Wanwan's facial features are not outstanding, but they complement each other, and they are amiable and lovely to look at, which is pleasing to the eye.
Wanwan had also heard her father talk about this peasant girl named Cheng Xianghua many times.
said that she was smart and courageous, and dared to risk killing her head to save the little general's horse. said that she had a benevolent heart, and when she made money, she immediately built a dam and a school for the village. also said that she was the reincarnation of the golden cicada, and this time she almost lost half her life to save her evil uncle.
Wanwan looked at her silently, and saw that her eyes were like autumn water, her skin was like clotted fat, her words and smiles, and she looked forward to Shenfei, and her every move was not vulgar as that of a countryman, but she was innocent, lively and lovely, so she gave birth to a little closeness.
In order to repay Xianghua's love of sacrificing herself to feed the tiger, Zhixian specially made a big table of good dishes, Xianghua was not polite, she was hungry in the mountains for a few days, and the wild fruits were full of hunger every day, and people lost a lot of weight.
When Taro saw that she was drinking soup with a spoon in one hand and nibbling with ribs in the other, she couldn't help laughing, so she sandwiched a piece of stewed lotus root and put it on the side of the bowl, and when she finished eating the ribs, the lotus root was almost ready to eat.
Wanwan looked at the three guests, one of them was an older and powerful man, who heard that he was a guest at Xianghua's house, and this time he came to help.
And this young man, who is about the same age as her brother, with a warm smile and starry eyes, doesn't know what his identity is. Her father only said that he was a distant relative of the Xianghua family, but the intimacy of the two was far from being comparable to relatives.
Xianghua was half-full, and asked Zhixian: "My lord, have any of those abducted women woken up?" ”
The magistrate shook his head and said, "The doctor said that they have been fed for a long time and have lost their souls, and they will not be able to return to normal for a while. Even if you wake up, there will be a period of time when the three souls have lost their seven spirits. ”
"Can't you cure it?"
"This is not easy to treat, but the doctor prescribed a decoction to clear the heart and nourish the mind, and I don't know if it is useful, so let's eat it first. The master has already sent someone to contact their families. ”
Xianghua nodded, and asked again, "What about those people who were caught last night?" ”
"It's all closed. They had been tortured last night, but these people were all old oilmen, and they knew that they were not guilty of death, so they refused to say who was behind them. ”
"I heard yesterday that they said something 'superior' and that they want to make people 'puppets', and I'm afraid these things are not a joke. Maybe it's not just our Taiping Town, but also in other places, so it's best for adults to report it. ”
Zhixian nodded and said, "What you said is extremely true." The more I thought about it last night, the more I felt scared, and I had already written half of the recital, and I would report it in the next two days. And that Fei Yan, it is expected that it will not be long before the imperial court will issue a wanted warrant. ”
Xianghua nodded and smiled: "That's fine." We bothered for the night, thank you for your hospitality. ”
The magistrate smiled: "I also have a fate with you, every time you appear, you can solve the urgent needs of the official, I haven't thanked you yet." ”
Xianghua even said "don't dare". These times were all coincidences, not that she intended to help, and she deserved this thanks.
The magistrate said that he had to express his heart to anything, he deliberately sent a few people to the gate of the city, and said that he would send a gift to Xianghua's house every few days.
Xianghua couldn't refuse, so she could only accept it.
The three of them brought Cheng Sun's family back to Qingshan Village, the people in the village already knew the ins and outs of the matter, many people came out to see the excitement, Cheng Linchang and Cheng Linsheng's family were even more eager to see through, and finally looked forward to the carriage turning the corner and coming towards the entrance of the village.
Dongshan and Donglin ran up before the carriage stopped, Zhao Lei got out of the car first, and then Taro also got out of the car, turned around and hugged Xianghua as well.
Cheng Linchang saw that Xianghua's feet were wrapped in strips of cloth, and asked distressedly, "What's wrong?" How did it come to this? ”
Xianghua smiled: "Dad, it's okay." It was I who accidentally twisted it, and the doctor said that it would be good to rest for a few days. ”
Cheng Zhang and Cheng Zhengde also walked up tremblingly. Their family almost lost their daughter-in-law first, and then almost lost their most promising granddaughter, and the hearts of the two old people couldn't be stimulated at all.
"Xianghua, you...... What about your aunt? ”
Xianghua looked back at the carriage: "It's inside." The person hasn't woken up yet, so he has to be hugged. ”
Cheng Zhengde turned around and shouted angrily at Cheng Linsheng: "Why are you still stunned, come and hug someone!" ”
Cheng Linsheng just passed, he entered the carriage and looked at it, and he was stunned-
Is this still his daughter-in-law?
The people in the carriage were skinny and skinny, and their faces were as dry as ashes, so how could they still have a little bit of the previous flying and domineering appearance? It's just that she is still wearing the old clothes she used to wear, which used to fit just right, but now she is dressed like two broken sacks.
Cheng Linsheng's heart was sour, and he shed a tear.
Knowing this, why did he quarrel with her in the first place?
Cheng Linsheng carried Cheng Sun out of the car, Cheng Zhengde and Cheng Zhang were shocked when they saw Cheng Sun's appearance, and people who watched the excitement didn't dare to recognize it - this is Cheng Sun?
was such a spicy and arrogant person before, how could he have become this person who is not a human and a ghost after only half a month of going out?
Xianghua handed a few packets of herbs to Vanilla: "Sister Cao'er, this is a decoction that the adults asked someone to prescribe, you can fry it for your uncle to drink." The doctor said that the medicine was domineering, and my uncle and mother might be delirious for a while when she woke up. ”
Vanilla took it with tears in her eyes.
Cheng Sun is now worse than a baby, the baby is hungry and pees, but she still knows how to cry, she doesn't know anything, so she can only take turns to take care of her, groom, feed, and talk to her, hoping that she can get better soon.
When the Sun family heard that their daughter had suffered such a big disaster, they didn't say a word or come to visit.
However, Cheng Linsheng said cruelly before, but he was not negligent at all when he took care of Cheng Sun, nor did he complain of hardship or tiredness, and the people in the village said that "it is worthy of a one-day husband and wife for a hundred days".
Xianghua recuperated from a foot injury for a few days, in addition to discussing with her father to send some nourishing medicinal materials to the vanilla family, she asked Taro to invite Chenggang to talk about making medicinal powder.
"If the idle woman encounters Fei Yan and the like, it may be too late for someone to save her. They brought these medicinal powders with them, one could protect themselves, and the other could punish these fanatics. ”
"Although the flower thief is said to be 'picking flowers', how many girls die depressed because of their reputation, even if they survive, how many can not be pointed at?" Xianghua sighed.
