17 Rainy Night
Xia Sushuang kept walking and moved Song Guanqiong back to his guest house.
"Go get a doctor." She hurriedly instructed the female envoy, and then put the eldest apprentice on the bed.
However, his waist was blurred with flesh and blood, and he could only lie on his stomach.
Before the doctor came, Xia Xushuang wanted to clean his wounds, and quickly brought hot water, which moistened the veil, but stopped when he was about to untie his clothes.
Xia Sushuang stared at the unconscious apprentice and urged herself to move quickly.
"Don't think about it, don't think about those things, when is this, what kind of brain are you!"
She rebuked herself a few words, abandoned her distractions, put the veil aside, and untied his straps from behind, the movements seemed to be embraced, but in fact, the bodies of the two people did not match.
During this time, she looked at the door several times, thinking about what to say if the people who came in saw it and explained it.
The moment she saw the wound of the eldest apprentice, she completely forgot the embarrassment of the past, and only felt distressed.
Is the Yang family not even as distressed Ah Ji as her as a master?
Just beat and scolded at every turn, this time she almost took her life, which really makes it hard to believe that she is Ah Ji's mother.
"When I was a child, I had a hard time in the Guogong Mansion." She gently straightened Song Guanqiong's hair.
"Master......"
The eldest apprentice suddenly opened his mouth and startled Xia Sushuang, and hurriedly withdrew his hand.
Xia Sushuang carefully leaned over to the head of the bed to see, the eldest apprentice was still unconscious, lying on his lower eyelids with long eyelashes, and there was no sign of waking up.
It's just a simple call Master.
Thinking of this, Xia Sushuang's heart was sour, "Master is here, don't be afraid!" ”
As he spoke, he held his thin white hand, and in an instant, some fragments flashed back.
This room, this bed.
It was also such a night, the sound of the big apprentice's heavy breathing, the arms that tightened her waist, and the ironed skin were close to each other, and they did not let each other's temperatures pass back and forth......
The vivid memory made her shudder.
There are some things that you may not be able to forget.
"Master......" The man sleeping on the bed had pale lips and only shouted this repeatedly.
Struggling to resist the urge to shake off his hand, Xia Xushuang bit her lip and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.
"Master is here, Ah Ji, it's okay, let's get some sleep."
Song Guanqiong still had his eyes closed, unwilling to let go of the hand he was shaking with her.
There was a knock on the door.
"Ah Ji, the doctor is here, let go." Xia Sushuang wanted to stand up, but Song Guanqiong refused to let go.
She saw the doctor come to her, but when she stood up, her hand was still being pulled by the apprentice, and her face was a little unbearable.
As if he hadn't seen anything, the old doctor put down the medicine box and asked the female envoy to raise the lamp to check the wound, and Xia Sushuang also waited with bated breath.
After a few breaths, the doctor said: "Although the wound is large, it is bandaged well, and nothing will happen if it is properly cared for, but the blow of the wooden cane is strong and heavy, and I am afraid that it will hurt the internal organs, so please ask this lady to help the son to sit up." ”
At this point, Xia Sushuang couldn't take care of the taboo, helped the apprentice to sit up, and leaned on himself.
The doctor pressed Song Guanqiong's chest, checked the pulse again, and said, "Fortunately, it didn't hurt the viscera, but it is still necessary to prescribe a prescription to warm it up, and consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan." ”
Hearing this, Xia Sushuang breathed a sigh of relief.
The woman went out to boil the medicine, and the doctor left after bandaging the wound, and the room was quiet again.
She put her apprentice down.
"Master!"
Ah Ji was still calling her, Xia Sushuang went to see, Song Guanqiong still couldn't wake up, and it seemed that he was caught in a nightmare, restless, sweating more and more on his head, just calling her one after another.
"Master is here, Ah Ji, open your eyes and see, Master is here."
Xia Sushuang was so anxious that he went to twist the handkerchief again to wipe his face, but he avoided it and refused to wipe it, "Master, I'm cold ......"
"It's not cold, I'm going to pull the stove over......"
Unexpectedly, Song Guanqiong wrapped around her arm, hooked her waist, and with a force, Xia Sushuang was dragged to the bed and hugged tightly by him.
Xia Sushuang panicked, her ears burned hot, "Ah Ji, you let go!" ”
Song Guanqiong is now lying on his side, the two of them are facing each other, their chests are close to each other when they breathe, and the tip of Xia Sushuang's nose is full of hot medicinal smell.
This move is a big cross-line!
Regardless of the previous accident, she and Ah Ji are masters and apprentices in the end, and now they are awake, how can they be like lying on the same bed with their apprentices, that is, when they were young, except when he was sick, the two of them had never been so close.
"Ah Ji!" Her voice grew stern.
"Master......" The apprentice murmured in her ear again and again, shouting that Xia Xushuang's body trembled.
Xia Sushuang was really worried, someone came in and saw it.
But now her apprentice is as weak as paper, where does she dare to push it away with brute force.
She could only comfort herself that it was already late at night, and the envoy would not come in again, and no one would see it.
"Ah Ji, is it okay to let go of Master?" She shouted softly, but she was afraid that she would hear it outside, so she had to give up.
"Master, it's so cold...... Holding someone in his arms, Song Guanqiong's sleeping face was much calmer, but he was still muttering grievances.
It was determined that no one should come, Xia Sushuang had no choice but to go with him.
The red charcoal in the stove gradually accumulated into white ash, and the night was thick.
Song Guanqiong drank the medicine and fell asleep, it had been an hour, and Xia Sushuang tossed this day, and slowly closed his eyes.
Not long after she fell asleep, another person on the bed slowly opened his eyes.
This little movement did not alarm Xia Sushuang, she was still asleep, and she slept in his arms.
Song Guanqiong's eyes blinked slowly a few times, and gradually regained his clarity, pale and weak, but he did not hide his wolf ambition.
He did deliberately provoke the Yang family and deliberately suffered such a heavy punishment.
Song Guanqiong's injury was not half fake, but he was not completely unconscious, he knew that the master was coming, and deliberately pulled her and didn't let go.
He just wanted her to only guard him day and night, and didn't dare to leave a step.
It's okay to self-destruct.
With such a real person in his arms, his life hanging by a thread is just a trivial thing that is not worth mentioning.
Sick thoughts filled Song Guanqiong's mind, and his hand involuntarily swept her hair to her nose and pulled it back.
But just by touching a little hair, Xia Sushuang woke up.
She met the gaze of the big apprentice, and her eyes flickered obviously.
Master must have remembered something.
Song Guanqiong knew that she was afraid, and no matter how much she trusted herself, she would also be afraid, which was the consequence of his overindulgence.
"You're awake." Xia Sushuang said and got up from the bed.
Song Guanqiong pressed her waist, "What did you do wrong, didn't you?" ”
She knew what he was talking about, and her eyes were full of remorse.
Xia Sushuang suddenly thought, is he also punishing himself when he collided with the Yang family and attracted this punishment?
I was still sick, thinking about this, and my injury was not good.
"No, Ah Ji is unintentional, we can't help ourselves, Master didn't blame you."
As a gesture of sincerity, she touched his face.
The eldest apprentice was silent for a while, and then suddenly said, "Master, do you remember that when the apprentice first went up the mountain, there was a heavy rain? ”
Xia Sushuang was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned this,
"Of course I remember, it rained heavily that night, and I went out to look for you, and I encountered a flash flood...... You let go of Master first. ”
Song Guanqiong didn't hear it: "Master thought I wanted to run at that time, right?" ”
"Isn't it?"
Of course not, in fact, he didn't want to run, but subconsciously escaped from the house.
"At that time, the disciples were very afraid of the rain."
When he said this, Song Guanqiong's dark eyes were empty, and when it rained, Song Guanqiong would think of his aunt, the high-ranking Duchess of Dingguo.
Xia Sushuang forgot to get out of bed.
She once asked the eldest apprentice about his childhood when she was in Ande Temple, and the eldest apprentice said that he would tell her later, is it now?
"Why are you running out for fear of rain?"
"Because I made a mistake in writing a word."
Xia Sushuang didn't understand, so Song Guanqiong slowly talked about the old things in the Guogong Mansion when he was a child.
"When I was seven years old, I had to copy a copy of the Analects one day, but unfortunately I copied a wrong word, and it was very late, it was raining outside, and the eldest lady dragged me up from the bed and threw me into the rain, and made me kneel and write that typo over and over again......"
The black ink smeared in the water, and it was impossible to write a single word, and the child, who was less than ten years old at the time, only felt hopeless.
There is also a deep incomprehension.
He didn't understand why his aunt was different from others.
I don't understand why a word is wrong, and if the posture of holding the pen is slightly wrong, I will be punished for a whole day.
The atmosphere of the room was always solemn, the faces of the subordinates were facing the ground, everyone only had a pitch-black back of their heads, and the rest was the big lady's knife-like eyes abusing him.
Since then, rainy nights have also become his nightmare.
As soon as he arrived at the first heavy rain in Duonan Mountain, Song Guanqiong couldn't help but be afraid, afraid that someone would drag him out of bed again.
When he was sent to the mountain, this ten-year-old child was on the verge of collapse, and it was rare to escape the control of the Duchess of Kaidingguo, Song Guanqiong actually didn't want to leave the mountain.
But with the sound of rain, he thought that he was still in the Dingguo Mansion, so he couldn't help but rush out all the way.
On the road, I don't know which foot stepped on the air and rolled down the deep pit.
The vast rain fell on his face, looking at such a deep and dark night, Song Guanqiong suddenly stopped being afraid.
He thought that no one would know he was here, and that he would die at dawn.
"Let's just die."
Song Guanqiong, who was still young, closed his eyes.
He had this idea until the man fell and the hand touched him.
How did Master find out?
She pinched him and asked, "Is that you?" ”
This man is his master.
How could she come out to find him, how could she find it? The thought sprouted, like a thin crack in a hard shell.
Song Guanqiong couldn't figure it out, and the ghost sent him down, so he nodded.
The lantern was lit again, and the face that had been pinched again hurt a little, not a dream.
Later, she seemed to say something, reproaching him? Song Guanqiong didn't listen again, just looked at her.
Master, who is five years older than him, looks no older than him, is the person who has been appearing in front of him these days, and she always talks to him.
Song Guanqiong remembered that it was nothing more than those few sentences:
"Would you like to talk to me?"
"Sharpen a wooden sword for you to play, okay?"
"Don't worry me, okay?"
She is not at all different from A-Niang, she will not suddenly drag him up to study and practice martial arts, and she will not suddenly get angry and scold him for not doing well enough.
The person in front of him, and every word he says, have to ask, "Is it good?" ”
As if his answer was important.
Actually, Song Guanqiong liked her very much, when she saw her for the first time.
But the fear and precaution of being hurt by relatives for a long time made Song Guanqiong unable to say a word.
He didn't know how to keep what he liked, and he was anxious to worry in his heart that if he didn't speak again, she would be disappointed and walk away.
I am afraid that if I show a little liking, the person in front of me will suddenly become like the Duchess of Dingguo......
That night, Song Guanqiong talked to Master about many, many things when he was a child, and finally he said, "Master, going up the difficult mountain is my salvation. ”
Xia Sushuang was sad and helpless.
"If only I could meet Ah Ji sooner." She stroked his face.
With this phrase, it is enough.
Song Guanqiong hugged her waist tightly, his head against her forehead, "Did Master go to the Xiyue Marquis Mansion and don't want me?" ”
The voice was like a gossamer, weak and fragile, and the hand that put her waist tightened desperately.
Xia Sushuang was still not used to such intimacy, but she was afraid of touching the wound, so she didn't dare to forcibly push him away, so she could only comfort: "No, Ah Ji, you are so badly injured, Master...... I can't let go of you, so you let go first. ”
He confirmed in a dumb voice: "Really? ”
"Hmm."
"Master, remember, I said that."
His gaze was a silent urge.
Xia Sushuang only felt that her heart was beating too fast, and she always felt that her apprentice's eyes at the moment were indescribable, unclear, and there was a bottomless darkness hidden in sight......
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
The sound of eager coughing interrupted Xia Sushuang's thoughts, and Song Guanqiong had already turned his head.
She came to her senses and gently brushed his chest, "Master doesn't need to remember, nothing like that will happen." ”
"Sleep, Master has always been with you."
She didn't mention the fact that she couldn't get out of bed, what difference did it make at this hour.
Children who don't often show fragility are rarely spoiled once, and Xia Sushuang can only obey him.
"Hmm." Song Guanqiong grabbed her wrist and pressed it to the side of her cheek, and finally slowly closed her eyes.
Xia Sushuang didn't dare to move, and didn't relax his tense body until his breathing calmed down evenly.
"Alas......" she sighed.
How did this happen......
