Chapter 7: Self-Inflicted Consequences
"Then it's hard for you to get this money, this Liu Beichuan, but the champion of Xinke Wu, now he has gone to Beijing to become an official, if you want to get the money back, I'm afraid you have to write a letter to the imperial history platform in the capital." Sheng Qingyuan said.
When the guy heard this, he immediately collapsed and cursed Liu Beichuan several times.
Sheng Qingyuan was in a good mood, and when she took the medicine out, Shen Zhao found that she was holding back hard, and couldn't help asking, "Is it your hands and feet?" ”
Sheng Qingyuan nodded and said, "That's right, it's my hands and feet, scumbag, dare to harm me, it's cheap to give him some laxatives!" ”
Shen Zhao was puzzled: "But on the day of the wedding banquet, everyone ate food, why is Liu Beichuan alone?" ”
"Because I didn't do anything with my meals." Sheng Qingyuan leaned close to Shen Zhao's ear and told Shen Zhao about his prank from beginning to end.
Her breath was soft and sweet and fragrant, falling on Shen Zhao's face, and Shen Zhao couldn't help but blush again.
Seeing that Shen Zhao didn't speak for a while, Sheng Qingyuan chuckled slightly in his heart.
He didn't think she'd gone too far, right?
Sheng Qingyuan tried to ask, "Do you think I'm too much?" ”
Shen Zhao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "You just treat others in the way of others, and he insults you like that, so he has already let it go." ”
He only hated his weakness.
Sheng Qingyuan smiled again, and his mood became better and better.
The two went to buy some daily necessities, and also bought some rice, grain and meat, and estimated that they would have enough to eat for a while, and then they went home satisfied.
When passing by a bookstore, Sheng Qingyuan paused, weighed the remaining money, and said to Shen Zhao, "You wait for me for a while." ”
"Okay."
After a while, Sheng Qingyuan came out with two books and handed them to Shen Zhao.
Shen Zhao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw these two books, namely "Zhou Almanac" and "Naturalist Chronicles".
"Why did you suddenly want to buy these two books?" Shen Zhao asked curiously.
Sheng Qingyuan pushed Shen Zhao home, and said with a light smile: "I think that it is not convenient for you to walk in the past few months, and it may be boring to stay in the house, maybe there are two books to read, so I can pass the time." Rest assured, these two books are not expensive and will not cost a few bucks. ”
Shen Zhao's heart rose a little warm, and said to Sheng Qingyuan with a gentle smile: "There are a lot of books at home, I'm not bored, you can buy some of the girl's favorites." ”
Sheng Qingyuan's eyebrows were crooked, and his face was covered with joy: "I don't love those things, there's no need to waste this money." Although there are a lot of books in your home, but they are less interesting, these two books are about the human geography of the Great Zhou, which is very interesting, you can look at it to relax and relax, and besides, I also like to read these. ”
She will not stay in such a small mountain village for the rest of her life, as long as she has the conditions, she hopes to go farther, so that she can do more of what she wants to do.
"Okay."
Shen Zhao caressed the two books, as if they were some rare treasures, very precious.
After returning home, Sheng Qingyuan put everything away and wanted to boil some water for Shen Zhao to drink, but found that the water tank was empty, so he had to carry the bucket to the well to fetch water.
A figure hid not far away, shielded by a tree trunk, staring at the back of Sheng Qingyuan fetching water.
When Sheng Qingyuan struggled to pull up the bucket full of water, the figure not far behind her immediately rushed towards her.
Sheng Qingyuan, a slut, dared to scare her with a snake last time, causing her to lose face in front of her little sisters, and it became a joke.
She will never let go of Sheng Qingyuan today!
When she was about to come to the back of Sheng Qing Yuan, Xu Jiaojiao stretched out her hand towards Sheng Qing Yuan and pushed hard.
"Slut! Go to hell!! Xu Jiaojiao gritted her teeth, and her face was full of hideousness.
Sheng Qingyuan saw Xu Jiaojiao's figure in the afterglow, his eyes flashed a cold light, and his body turned slightly to the side, avoiding Xu Jiaojiao's hard push.
Xu Jiaojiao used all her strength, but she couldn't control her strength all of a sudden, let out an exclamation, and fell into the well.
"Help! Help me!! Xu Jiaojiao panicked, grabbed the wooden barrel in the well and kept fluttering.
A small wooden bucket couldn't bear her weight, and after a while, she had choked on several mouthfuls of water, "Help." ”
Sheng Qingyuan poked his head out, saw Xu Jiaojiao's situation in the well, raised his lips and smiled lightly: "Eh, Xu Jiaojiao, even if you think it's hot this day, you shouldn't run to the well to cool down." If you accidentally drown yourself, don't say anything, you have soiled the well water, how can we drink it? ”
As he spoke, Sheng Qingyuan reached out in disgust and fanned his nose.
Xu Jiaojiao looked at her like this, and trembled with anger: "Sheng Qingyuan! You, don't be complacent! Wait, wait for me to come up, I, I, I, I'm determined, I'm going to make you look good! ”
Xu Jiaojiao was scared and cold, and her lips had begun to turn purple.
"If you tell me to wait, I'll have to wait, I'm busy." Sheng Qingyuan hummed.
Xu Jiaojiao could still scold at first, but it was too cold, and her physical strength was quickly exhausted, and she changed from insulting to begging for mercy: "Sheng Qingyuan, please, please, pull me up quickly, I, I will not trouble you again." ”
Sheng Qingyuan saw that she couldn't hold on for long, so he began to raise his voice and shouted: "Come on, come on, Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao fell into the well." ”
The villagers heard Sheng Qingyuan's voice and rushed to it one after another.
When everyone came, they saw Sheng Qingyuan's little face flushed because of the exertion, a small body, clenching his teeth and pulling the rope hard, and he didn't forget to say in his mouth: "Xu Jiaojiao, you can't, give up, ah, you will definitely be rescued." ”
Pulling and pulling, Sheng Qingyuan's hand loosened, and he was taken forward with small steps.
Seeing this, the villagers hurriedly quickened their pace, the mothers-in-law were responsible for holding Sheng Qingyuan, and the men were responsible for pulling the rope.
After a while, Xu Jiaojiao was rescued.
After Xu Jiaojiao was rescued, she was so tired that she couldn't speak, and she was even more cold and shivering, wet all over, and couldn't stop shivering.
His eyes fell on Sheng Qingyuan's body, pushed away the people around him, rushed towards Sheng Qingyuan, punched and kicked her, and said angrily: "Sheng Qingyuan, you slut!" How dare you hurt me!! ”
Everyone frowned in confusion.
The girl of the Sheng family harmed the girl of the Xu family?
Sheng Qingyuan's eyes were clear, and he didn't panic after being blamed: "I didn't harm you." ”
"Phew! I fell into the well because of you!! ”
Under the suspicious eyes of everyone, Sheng Qingyuan explained: "I just came to fetch water, and I vaguely heard a sound from the well, and I was startled. ”
"You're lying! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to fall at all! ”
Xu Jiaojiao's hair was wet on her face, her face was full of anger, she looked very hideous, and she looked like a shrew when she pointed at Sheng Qingyuan.
In contrast, Sheng Qingyuan was soft and weak, his little face was white, and there were traces of being strangled red by hemp rope on his hands.
"The girl of the Xu family, we all saw it just now, it was indeed the girl of the Sheng family who saved you."
"Yes, yes, this girl almost fell down in order to save you."
"She's doing it for you! She's lying to you! Xu Jiaojiao couldn't believe it, how could these fools all believe Sheng Qingyuan's nonsense!
Sheng Qingyuan held the bucket he brought, and hung his head slightly: "I have no water at home, so I thought about coming here to fetch water, I didn't know that Jiaojiao was here in advance, and I knew that harming people was to see the official and kill the head, so I didn't dare to do this kind of thing." Besides, it's just the two of us here, if it's really me who pushed Jiaojiao down, I'll know it when I check it, and I can't hide it. ”
Hearing this, everyone nodded approvingly.
"The girl of the Sheng family is usually quite well-behaved, and she can't do these things if she wants to."
"But why did the girl of the Xu family keep saying that it was the girl Sheng who pushed her?"
"Maybe I accidentally fell down while playing, for fear of being scolded, I just happened to see Sheng Yatou, so I simply told such a lie."
"How can you be like this? Obviously, people saved her, and they still have to frame people, this is simply ungrateful, what is ungrateful? ”
"Ungrateful."
"That's right! ungrateful, I don't know what to do! ”
"I said before, the Xu family spoils this girl so much, sooner or later she will be spoiled."
Villagers, you said a word to me, and Xu Jiaojiao was completely dumbfounded when she heard it.
"You're all idiots! I was deceived by her slut! Xu Jiaojiao was anxious.
"Shut up!" Xu Da hurriedly scolded.
"Daddy! She hurt me and wants me to shut up, why?! Xu Jiaojiao was unconvinced.
Xu Niangzi frowned and hurriedly pulled Xu Jiaojiao to tell her not to speak, and said to Sheng Qingyuan apologetically: "Sheng girl, I'm sorry, Jiaojiao, she probably has seen the stubble, Auntie is here to thank you for saving Jiaojiao's life, thank you." ”
Sheng Qingyuan hurriedly helped the and said seriously: "Auntie is polite when she says this, we are all from the same village, and we should help, but after the aunt goes back, I have to quickly ask a doctor for Jiaojiao to take a look, I am afraid that Jiaojiao will soak in the water for a long time, and it will not be good for her brain to enter the water." ”
Brain water?
Isn't that really swearing?
But looking at Sheng Qingyuan's serious and worried face, it really didn't look like a scolding.
"Looking at Miss Xu's watery eyes, shouldn't her brain really be full of water, right?"
was originally holding her breath in her heart, but when she heard this, she looked at her daughter and saw that her eyes were watery.
Isn't it really in the water?
"Jiaojiao is not afraid, my mother will take you to see the doctor."
"My brain is not in water, you are in the brain." Xu Jiaojiao shouted loudly when she was taken away.
A woman muttered, "We haven't fallen into the well, and our brains haven't soaked in water, so how can we get into the water?" ”
Other villagers helped Sheng Qingyuan fetch two buckets of water and personally helped her deliver them to her home.
"Thank you, Uncle Neko." Sheng Qingyuan said to Li Gen with a smile.
Li Gen smiled honestly: "A little thing, today's matter, girl, don't take it to heart, you did the right thing to save people." ”
"Uh-huh." Sheng Qingyuan nodded vigorously, and when he laughed, there was a small pear vortex on each cheek, which was very cute.
Li Gen looked at Sheng Qingyuan's cute and well-behaved appearance, and thought in his heart, why don't you go back and talk to the lady to see if you can have a girl, if you can have a girl like Sheng Yatou, wouldn't it be much better than the two stinky boys at home?
Not long after Li Gen left, the took two catties of pork, ten eggs, five catties of rice, and two pieces of cloth.
"Girl, thank you so much for today's events, Jiaojiao's girl is spoiled by us, don't be angry, there's nothing good about your aunt, you take these first." The put down her things, and thanked her in public under the witness of many villagers.
In this way, the matter is over.
Sheng Qingyuan looked at this pile of gifts, not to mention how happy he was.
In a mountain village, there is nothing better than these.
Taking the food to the kitchen, looking at this pile of ingredients, Sheng Qingyuan had already begun to have one dish after another in his mind.
"What's going on out there? Are you hurt? Shen Zhao came over in a wheelchair and asked her.
His eyes looked Sheng Qingyuan up and down, and there was a little worry in his eyes.
