Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Outbreak of the Epidemic (5 - Xiao Xiazi)
It was a hot, hot day, and he was assigned a heavy job to repair one of the roofs of his brother's house. Three days, in time to meet the deadline, he didn't even dare to rest during the most poisonous time period of the day, hurried and hurried, and finally made up for it on the last day when the sunset was about to go down.
It was too hot and tired, his body was soaked with sweat, it was heavy, every step was like dragging a big stone, he was dizzy, he fell halfway, his face slammed to the ground, and his mind was full of buzzing sounds.
The moment he closed his eyes, he thought that he would sink like the sunset in the west, except that he would not have tomorrow.
But he saw the sun, the sun in his heart.
His daughter's warm and soft hand brushed his wounded face, tied it with a clean cloth, a bowl of cool sweet spring in his mouth, the salty taste spread in his mouth, the cold water spread in his chest and limbs, and the pungent but pleasant smell poured in from his nose, and he opened his eyes and saw the light.
She asked him to take good care of himself, no matter how hard he worked, his body was the most important thing.
"Ahem, ahem...... The body is the capital of the revolution. She didn't seem to be in good shape, and she wasn't very convincing enough to say that.
"If you don't cherish yourself, how can you expect others to love you?"
"This bottle of Huoxiang is being given to you, it cost me a lot of silver, it's very expensive!"
"Go back and rest and drink plenty of water! Hurry up and get better......"
No one has ever said that he is important, he is inferior, low, small as dust, and no one will remember him when he dies.
But the fierce gentleness of her daughter's family opened the door of her heart, which she thought was as hard as iron.
Xiao Dongzi originally planned to wait for that person to be promoted to the throne and have a place as a eunuch, he would spend all his savings and go to her side to be a minion, she is so kind, in this cannibalistic palace, she will definitely be bullied, and when he is beaten, he has to step forward quickly to block it.
However, it is impossible now, I just hope that she can be well.
"Xiao Natsuko," Xiao Dongzi came back to her senses from her memories and called out softly to Xiao Natsuko.
"Brother Dongzi?" Xiao Natsuko looked at him with snot bubbles, wondering what he was going to do.
Xiao Dongzi took out a small white porcelain vase from his arms, with a crooked cyan bow tied on it, which didn't look like a man's thing.
The bow is not good at learning, and it is a thousand times uglier than the one she ties.
"Brother...... You? Xiao Xiazi was surprised, and lowered her voice and asked, "Do you have a favorite palace maid?" ”
In Xiao Xiazi's cognition, the only women that eunuchs can contact are palace maids and concubines, and it is impossible for concubines to favor a eunuch and give something like silk cloth.
"Nonsense!" Xiao Dongzi was angry, "cough cough cough ......" was so excited that he coughed so hard that he couldn't speak for a while.
Xiao Xiazi was frightened, didn't dare to move, didn't dare to speak.
After a little relief, Xiao Dongzi said, "Don't think nonsense and blaspheme others." ”
"This is a gift from my savior, remember the time I came back from a fall? You asked me what's going on, I didn't say it, in fact, it was the ink of Cuizhuyuan who promised to see me fainting and dying halfway on the road, she treated me, this bottle is the medicine she sent, I want to ask you one thing. ”
"Brother Dongzi, you say." Xiao Xiazi saw that Xiao Dongzi's face was getting more and more serious, and her face was red and scary, although she felt that she couldn't help much, but let's listen to it first.
"Help me return this to Mo Promise, just say that Xiao Dongzi is grateful to her for saving her life in the past, and I hope she will be happy and healthy in this life!"
Xiao Xiazi agreed, approached him without barriers, and took the bottle and was about to put it in his arms, but Xiao Dongzi thought about it and said forget it, don't go, he is an unclean person now, it would be bad if the bottle passed something to her, and he was afraid that Xiao Xiazi's body was not clean, and he hoped that she would be well-being, so he shouldn't trouble her now.
"Brother Dongzi......" Xiao Xiazi cried and chirped.
His brother Dongzi is really a good person, but why don't good people live long, and those who watch from afar from the outside live well.
Xiao Xiazi originally wanted to carry his brother Dongzi to the east, but Xiao Dongzi refused, just let him follow from a distance with his things, he walked over step by step, although he was under the same roof, but he didn't touch anyone since he got sick, maybe Xiao Xiazi wouldn't be infected if he didn't touch him, although he didn't know how he was infected.
The head of the East House quickly reached an agreement with the head of the north and south, although the holy decree was not issued, but the survivors also had to think about their own survival, closing the blockade of the infected became the default measure, and those who did not have a fever moved to the north and south, and the sick were moved to the East House regardless of whether they were infected or not, and the padlock fell, and the East House became a forbidden area.
Xiao Xiazi watched the door of the East House close in front of him, and Brother Dongzi's back disappeared behind the crack in the door, and he thought that he was going to be alone again.
Xiao Dongzi arrived at the east house where the infected people were blocked, and the door was locked from behind, and it was no longer open unless food was delivered or people were sent in, and maybe no one would go out here again.
As far as he could see, there were all the sick people who were staggering, and there was no hope in everyone's eyes, he touched the small bottle in his arms and smiled.
It's okay, it's good to stay, his hope.
After Xiao Xiazi went back, he was driven to the abandoned house in the west without even entering the door, and touched the baggage that was packed and thrown out after he came back, he seemed to understand something, smiled, and began to clean up.
