Chapter 4 Healing
It turned out that after Lu Xiaoyuan quarreled with Su Wanling, although he walked a long way, he immediately thought that Su Wanling, a single girl, was injured again, and it was really dangerous to leave her in the wilderness, so he returned to the vicinity. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info his youthful nature, and he couldn't pull his face directly in front of Su Wanling, so he looked at Su Wanling on the hillside behind Su Wanling, thinking about how to go down and talk to her.
After a while, seeing that Su Wanling didn't move, she felt bored, so she walked around, and found a firecracker workshop not far away.
It was late spring, and there was not much demand for firecrackers, and there was only one craftsman in this workshop, but his temper was a little short-tempered, and when he saw a young man suddenly break into the workshop and run around, he unceremoniously drove him out.
Lu Xiaoyuan saw that this craftsman was fierce, and he couldn't help but feel angry, and there was nothing to do left and right, so he hid around the workshop, waiting for an opportunity to cause chaos to this craftsman. After a while, he secretly tore the red paper to shreds, and then soaked gunpowder and saltpeter powder into the water, and the craftsman was shocked and angry when he saw that the materials were inexplicably destroyed, and he thought that someone was making trouble with him, and searched the workshop and the vicinity. While the craftsman was at work, he continued to play tricks.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Lu Xiaoyuan remembered that Su Wanling was still on the other side of the hillside, so he went back to find her. As soon as he returned to the hillside, he saw three monks walking towards Su Wanling. Lu Xiaoyuan knew that something was wrong, Su Wan couldn't move, he didn't know martial arts, and he was definitely not the opponent of the three monks. In a hurry, he ran back to the workshop and stole the cart loaded with stones, and hung a string of firecrackers around his neck.
It was a downhill road from the workshop to Su Wanling, and Lu Xiaoyuan pushed the car to the hillside without much effort. Seeing that Su Wanling had stabbed the dwarf monk, he got under the car, attacked him, threw firecrackers, and then fled on horseback with Su Wanling.
Lu Xiaoyuan told Su Wanling vividly how he fought against the craftsman, and learned how the craftsman gritted his teeth and was confused when he saw the shredded paper and wet gunpowder, which amused Su Wanling to a great extent.
Suddenly, Lu Xiaoyuan shouted: "It's not good, I almost forgot an important thing!" Su Wanling saw his solemn expression, stopped laughing, and looked at him inexplicably. I saw Lu Xiaoyuan take out a handful of branches and leaves from his arms, the leaves were very small, and they were strung on the branches like sugar gourds. He found two more stones, and put the branches and leaves between them and grinded them to a pulp, and the green juice flowed down the stones. Su Wanling saw his strange behavior and didn't know what he was going to do.
Lu Xiaoyuan tore off a piece of cloth from the hem of his shirt, smeared the pile of leaf mud on the strip of cloth, and then took off Su Wanling's boots. Su Wanling hurriedly retracted her feet, her cheeks turned red, and she exclaimed, "You, what are you going to do?"
Lu Xiaoyuan said: "Your ankle is broken, this is the healing herb I picked, hurry up and put it on, your foot will fall ill after a long time!"
Su Wanling sat on the grass without moving, her ankle was not painful, she talked to Lu Xiaoyuan for a while, and forgot about it. At this time, when I heard Lu Xiaoyuan mention it, I thought that my ankle was still injured. But when Lu Xiaoyuan asked a man to take off his boots and apply medicine to his feet, he was very ashamed and said, "You give me the herbs and let me apply them myself!"
Lu Xiaoyuan handed her the herbs and said, "Can you put them on?"
Su Wanling didn't answer, took off her boots and socks, revealing a slender foot like a white lotus, secretly raised her eyes to look at Lu Xiaoyuan, and saw that Lu Xiaoyuan was also looking at her, she was even more shy, her cheeks were dizzy, and she shouted at Lu Xiaoyuan: "You, you, you turn your head quickly!"
Although Lu Xiaoyuan has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, he has rarely dealt with girls, so he naturally doesn't know the thoughts of the girl in front of him, and said strangely: "Why do you want to turn your head over?"
Su Wanling's face blushed even more, and she said coquettishly: "Don't you know if men and women are kissed or not?" Seeing that Lu Xiaoyuan was still verbose, he said, "If you still watch, I'm going to be angry!"
Lu Xiaoyuan had no choice but to turn around, turn his back to Su Wanling, and said in his heart: "Aren't you already angry now?" He didn't know that the girl was shy in her heart, so she had to make this fierce appearance to cover up, only that she was already angry.
After a long time, Su Wanling didn't finish bandaging, Lu Xiaoyuan was a little impatient, and asked, "Have you bandaged it?" When you are injured, we have to find a place to live quickly!" I only heard Su Wanling say timidly behind his back: "I can't make it, or you....you come and help me." ”
Lu Xiaoyuan turned his head and saw that the strip of cloth was full of wrinkles, and the herbs had fallen a lot, and it was still in Su Wanling's hand, so he took the strip of cloth and said, "Didn't you know that it would be good for me to come like this? Why do you have to be ......reckless yourself?"
Su Wanling really didn't want to listen to his ramblings, so she interrupted him and said, "Shut up, quickly bandage this girl!" Lu Xiaoyuan saw that she was even more angry, stuck out her tongue, and didn't say much, she gently lifted Su Wanling's slender feet, only to feel that Wen Yu was in her hand, and her heart couldn't help but thump, and she couldn't move her hand for a long time.
Su Wanling waited for a long time, and when she saw him staring blankly at her slender feet, she scolded in her heart: What a fool. He didn't dare to speak, and coughed lightly twice.
Lu Xiaoyuan came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and settled down a little in his heart. Passing the strip of cloth under Su Wanling's ankle, Su Wanling closed her eyes tightly, not daring to look at Lu Xiaoyuan, her ankle was cold, as if many small insects were crawling, knowing that Lu Xiaoyuan's fingers had moved on her ankle, her heart was a mess, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry, worried or afraid.
About a stick of incense, Lu Xiaoyuan bandaged it properly, stood up and clapped his hands and said, "Okay!" Su Wanling slowly opened her eyes and looked at her ankles, which were indeed well bandaged, and she was overjoyed, and she stretched out her hand to get up, but there was a pain in her ankles, "Oops", and she sat down again.
Lu Xiaoyuan said: "How can it be so fast, let's rest honestly for a while!" Looking up, Yutu Dongsheng said, "You can sit in peace, it's too late for us to wait here." Su Wanling also knew that she was anxious just now, so she forgot about these common senses, and still said, "How can this girl not know." “
After resting for nearly two hours, Su Wanling felt that her ankle had recovered, stood up and walked a few steps, and sure enough, it was no longer painful, and praised: "I didn't expect you to be dumbfounded, and you still have such skills." ”
Lu Xiaoyuan crossed his hands on his hips, stood proudly, and said proudly: "Now you know that my ability is great, right? I don't have more than this skill, you will always see it in the future." Su Wanling stretched out her index finger to scrape her face, stuck out her tongue again, and said, "Don't be ashamed to say that you are fat and panting." ”
It was getting late, and the two of them were far away from Taohuadu, so they rode the black dragon horse along the road to the south. The black horse's feet are very fast, and after a short time, they arrived at Zhongli City in Wanzhou.
In recent years, Zhongli City has had drought, locust plague and plague, Emperor Wuwei Emperor Ji Wukui was violent and lewd, regardless of the life and death of the people, although the great Situ Luo allocated the silver emperor grain relief to help the disaster, and personally came here to preside over the distribution, but also more monks and less porridge, a drop in the bucket, in a short period of time Zhongli City still can not get rid of the entanglement of the three disasters.
When Lu Xiaoyuan and Su Wanling set foot on this land, they only felt that the vision in front of them was very different from that of the peach blossoms. If Taohuadu is a gentle and delicate woman with bright eyes and bright teeth, which is pleasing to the eye, then Zhongli Cheng is a beggar who lies in the streets and alleys, and you will only feel desolation and pity when you see him.
I searched all over Zhongli City, and there was only one small inn. The inn looked dusty, dusty from head to toe, and didn't even have a signboard.
Lu Xiaoyuan shrugged: "It seems that I can only live here tonight." Su Wanling wrinkled her nose, and the boss was reluctant in her heart, but she had nowhere to go except here, so she had to get off the horse and enter the store with Lu Xiaoyuan.
There was already a customer sitting at the table in the store, as if he was eating, and the light was dim, and it was vaguely obvious that this person was a boy in brocade clothes. The shopkeeper dozed off on the table, and didn't bother to open his eyes when he heard the sound of the door. It was Lu Xiaoyuan who pushed him in the past before he raised his head to greet the two.
Su Wanling saw that this small shop was so dilapidated, and it was expected that there would be no delicacies, so she casually ordered: "Bring us two bowls of rice, just stir-fry a few dishes, by the way, we will open two guest rooms." ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Girl, the villain has good news and bad news, I don't know which one you want to hear first?"
When Su Wanling heard him say this, she couldn't help but be curious, and said, "What's the bad news?"
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "The store has not been open for half a month, except for the noodles, there is nothing to eat in the store, if you two don't dislike it, you can have two bowls of hot noodle soup." ”
Su Wanling frowned, and asked again, "What's the good news?" The shopkeeper still said with a smile on his face: "Since there are no guests, the guest rooms are enough, and it doesn't matter how many rooms you open." ”
Lu Xiaoyuan laughed and said, "Girl, it seems that you can sleep all over the room in the store tonight." When Su Wanling heard this so-called "good news", she really wanted to smash her fist on the smiling face of the shopkeeper. Looking around, the corners of the wall are full of cobwebs, I don't think there are any guests, the guy is too lazy to clean, the room may not be cleaner than this hall, and I can't help complaining.
After a while, two bowls of hot noodle soup were on the table, and although her stomach was growling, Su Wanling only picked up one noodle and stuffed it into her mouth little by little. Lu Xiaoyuan was feasting, and the soup he ate splashed.
While eating, I suddenly heard a "click", the door of the store was kicked open, and several fierce officials walked in. The chief official sent an urn and shouted angrily: "If there is a panting, come out one!"
The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to salute, invited the officials to the store, and poured tea and water. After a few words of conversation, I realized that these officials were here to collect taxes. The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's really unfortunate, the shopkeeper went to visit relatives in Qiji City, Wanzhou two days ago, and the villain doesn't know where to put the money, and he can't be the master, you can do it well, a few days of grace."
The head official slammed the teacup, opened his strange eyes, and said angrily: "People are poor and ignore their relatives, birds are hungry and the leaves of the trees are scarce, and when this starving person supports the wild dogs to death, which family is probing! It doesn't matter, the public security tax is three dollars, the management tax is three dollars, and the bridge repair and road repair tax is four and a half dollars, a total of one or two halves of silver, you can find a way for the master." “
