Chapter 17: The Valley of Forgotten Sorrows (1)
The next day, Su Qian came to Miao Langzhong early in the morning. When he came, Li Zhongqing had already woken up and was lying on the bed in a daze.
Miaolang Zhong Yu Nengquan first observed Li Zhongqing's complexion, and then took his pulse, and then asked, "How are the injuries on his body?" He still deeply remembered the appearance of the patient's bruises all over his body ten days ago, judging by the injuries at that time, Li Zhongqing could not have survived that night. However, he was amazed to recover miraculously after ten days.
After a while, Lang Zhong saw that the patient did not answer, but just stared blankly ahead. He said, "Just take a break and don't work too hard." After speaking, he walked out of the room with the medical bag on his back, and Granny Su outside the door asked with concern: "What's wrong with the child? Are you okay?" Yu Nengquan said: "The trauma recovered quickly, the pulse was very smooth, and the physical condition was very good." It's just ......" Granny Su asked, "What's wrong?" Yu Nengquan said: "I'm a little delirious, and I don't react when I talk to him." Did he wake up like this last night?" Granny Su replied, "Of course not, then he would be in good spirits." Yu Nengquan said: "I will go back to the hospital to get some calming medicine for him, and I will see his condition after taking the medicine." Granny Su said, "Well, I'll let Qi'er go over and get the medicine later, so that you don't have to go more." Yu Nengquan said: "That's very good." Granny Su said, "Excuse me!" Yu Nengquan said: "Where is it, say goodbye first!" After Granny Su sent Lang Zhong away, she returned to the room and looked at Li Zhongqing. He still lay motionless, unresponsive, and his expression was as dull as a fool. Perhaps, he was overstimulated by Su Qi last night, which frightened him all of a sudden.
At this time, breakfast had just been cooked, and Su Shao and Su Mo brought the food to the dining room, and the dim sum steamed buns and porridge were all vegetarian. Granny Su sighed and walked in. Su Shao asked, "Mother-in-law, what's wrong?" Granny Su said, "Lang Zhong said that he was a little delirious and didn't know what was going on. Su Mo said: "Shouldn't I have been frightened by Sister Qian last night." The second sister Su Shao didn't know anything about what happened last night, and her sister Su Mo told her what happened. Su Shao smiled and said, "What? The surname Li likes Sister Qi! Won't he become our brother-in-law?"
"Who is your brother-in-law?" Su Qi rushed into the dining room, she said, "I don't mean that to him. Don't talk nonsense!" Granny Su said solemnly and sternly: "Qian'er and Shao'er must not be rude, no matter what he says, he is my benefactor, you must at least call him a benevolent." The two sisters couldn't refute it, and they didn't want to make their adoptive mother angry, so they had to eat breakfast obediently. The little sister Su Mo said, "Why don't you see the second brother? I went to the store without breakfast?" Su Mo said, "Do you want to leave some for Engong?" Su Qian glared at the little sister, her eyes as sharp as a blade. Su Mo had no choice but to pretend not to see it and eat breakfast by herself. Granny Su said, "If you want to stay, keep some." That's right, Qi'er. After eating, send it to your second brother, and when you come back, go to Langzhong to get some medicine and come back. ”
After breakfast, Su Qian and Su Shao went out together. Su Shao brought food for the second brother, and Su Qi went to get the medicine.
The second brother Su Shi is a carpenter, has his own shop, sells furniture, does not hire workers, all products are produced and sold, and the shop name is pragmatic carpentry. He is simple and honest, his craftsmanship is very good, and his income is acceptable. It's just that his external conditions are not ideal, and he can't speak to please girls, so he hasn't married at the age of 26.
The second sister Su Shao also has her own shop, which deals in women's products, mainly selling clothes, with rouge gouache as a subordinate, and the store name is Huanting Huanna. Due to the proper management, the business is much better than the second brother's. When the little sister Su Mo has nothing to do, she will do some needlework embroidery and sell it in the store, and the quality of life of the family is very good.
Speaking of this Su Qi, she is active and martial, and has no career. Whenever the second brother or sister's shop is too busy, she will go over there to help, regardless of gains and losses, and has no fixed income.
On the way, Su Qian asked Su Shao and said, "Xiao Shao, do you think I really like that guy?" Su Shao had the intention to tease her sister and said, "Who is that?" Su Qian said: "In vain, I have always loved you like this, and you have become a bully for me, right?"
Su Shao "can't be punished", she said: "Sister, don't, don't be like this." Su Qian pretended to be serious and said: "Give me a truthful explanation, if there is a lie, I will not be spared." Su Shao said: "Sister, tell the truth." You are nineteen years old this year, and the eldest is not small, and in the event of marriage, it is right for your mother-in-law to be anxious for you. Su Qian said: "I'm talking about Li Zhongqing!" At the beginning of saying this, Su Qian still had the tone of fighting with his sister, and when he said the three words "Li Zhongqing", his tone became heavier and heavier, and he looked murderous.
"So it's him?" Su Shao pretended to suddenly realize, and when she saw her sister with a look of embarrassment, she said: "When we were in Lingxiaoguan, if it weren't for him, we would probably all be planted there." He is indeed our benefactor. Sister Qi, don't embarrass him. Could it be ......" she deliberately didn't say, carefully observing her sister's expression. Su Qian said, "Could it be what?" Su Shao said with a light smile: "Could it be that Sister Qi has nothing to repay and wants to make a promise." Su Qian stopped, slowly lowered her head, and paused for a while. Suddenly, she said, "It seems that I can't teach you a good lesson today." Su Shao smiled and exclaimed, "Oops...... Su Qi is going to kill someone!" She ran away quickly with the food box in her hand, and Su Qi chased after her......
After a while, the sisters stopped. Su Qi said thoughtfully: "I mean really, do you want to do something for that guy? Su Shao still smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry about this." Let Xiao Li stay with us first, and wait for him to recover from his injuries. When the time comes, he will live here if he likes it, and if he doesn't live, he will just go with him, so what about bothering?" Su Qian said: "It's just ......" Su Shao said: "It's just what? It's just that Brother Yin Xun has a soft spot for his sister." Moreover, his family is well-off, and you are childhood sweethearts. Now, there is one more Li Zhongqing, I don't know what to do, right?" Su Qian said angrily: "Su Shao! Don't run! Look if I kill you today!"
When he came to the pragmatic carpentry shop, when Su Shi opened the food box, he found that it was already a mess inside. The porridge water was spilled, and the pastries were all soaked for a while. Su Shi was embarrassed to blame the two younger sisters, so he took out a snack that could still see the shape and ate it. While eating, he said, "Delicious, delicious." My sisters' cooking skills are still so good. Today, I went out too early and forgot to eat breakfast. Su Shao said, "Second brother, you will eat and bring you food at noon." She glared at her sister, Su Qian did not show weakness, and the eyes of the two sisters were "intertwined" like swords and swords.
Su Qi took the medicine and returned home. Granny Su decocted the medicine and fed the patient herself. In the haze of consciousness, Li Zhongqing saw an old woman who was kind and kind, and was close to old age, feeding herself medicine, so he reluctantly drank a few sips. After a while, he spat out a few mouthfuls of black blood, and his consciousness gradually returned to normal, and he was no longer sluggish. He asked, "Are you?" and Granny Su replied, "The old surname is Su, you can call me Granny Su." He asked, "Where is this?" and Granny Su replied, "Humble House." After that, Li Zhongqing also asked many questions, and Granny Su patiently answered them one by one, and will not be described here.
Every day from then on, Granny Su instructed Su Qi to get the medicine, and she personally decocted and fed Li Zhongqing. Under her care, the patient's physical condition is getting better day by day.
Li Zhongqing still deeply remembers that when he woke up at midnight for the first time, although the injuries in various parts of his body were healed, there would be unbearable severe pain from time to time. In severe cases, he even couldn't move because of the pain, so he had to lie in bed.
Three days later, Li Zhongqing was able to get out of bed and walk around. He woke up early in the morning, looking at the antique furnishings in the room, feeling both strange and intimate. He knew very well that his sweetheart lived under the same roof as him. Although it is not the same bed, it is still possible to face each other day and night. This sweet and heart-warming taste is difficult for others to understand. He put on his shoes and hurried out of the room. After walking around the house several times, I found that the room was very large, with at least ten rooms and three living rooms, but it was empty. He thought to himself, "Where have they gone?"
Li Zhongqing walked out of the house, was attracted by a faint aroma again, and walked to the cliff by inertia. He could clearly distinguish the difference between the two scents, the first time it was because of Su Mo, and this time it was fruity. The sweet but not greasy, fragrant but not vulgar smell comes from all directions, making people feel refreshed and comfortable. Looking into the distance, in the light and thin morning mist, all sides and sides are full of strange rocks, the walls stand thousands of miles, and the mountains are stacked on top of each other, which is very majestic. There is a poem in "Journey to the West" that praises:
Thousands of peaks row halberds, ten thousand open screens. The sun reflects the auspicious light and locks the green, and the rain is cold and affectionate. Thin vines wrap around old trees, and the ancient crossing realm is secluded. Flowers and grass, bamboo and pine. Cultivating bamboo and pine, evergreen blessed land; flowers and grass, four o'clock do not thank Sai Pengying. The cry of the ghost bird is near, and the flying spring is clear with nectar. The valleys are surrounded by Zhilan, and the cliffs are mossy everywhere.
At the foot of the mountain are lush fields one after another, with the fragrance of plants and trees, birds and insects, giving people a sense of tranquility and comfort. The village is connected to the fields and is quite large, with at least one or two thousand families living here.
Li Zhongqing was young, and he felt that the scenery in front of him was very beautiful, and it was difficult to appreciate all of it.
"Little Brother Li!" is Su Mo calling, her voice is sweet and highly recognizable, Li Zhongqing has only chatted with her once, and she has already memorized it. Su Mo said: "This way, this side, we are here." I saw Su Mo walking on the artificially built stone steps, followed by their family. Su Mo asked, "Wake up so early, how is your body?" Li Zhongqing replied: "It's okay!" His eyes quickly searched for Su Qi's figure, and his eyes stayed on her. Granny Su said, "Xiao Li, come in for breakfast." Su Qian walked at the end, looking at him a little bored, feeling a little annoying in his heart. Su Shao walked in front of her sister and saw Li Zhongqing looking at her side stupidly. She glanced back at her sister and walked away briskly with a smile.
Su Qi passed by Li Zhongqing and stared at him fiercely, and said softly, "Dirty embryo." He followed her into the house and was led to the dining room to sit down.
