Hexiang and Liu Er originally lived upstairs in Lei Bijie, just because Lei Bijie wanted to practice and not be seen, so they asked them to move down to live, when they succeeded, and when they moved upstairs again. The place where Hexiang lives is about seven or eight zhang away from the west of Lei Bijie's building. Trees are planted all over the house to shield from the scorching sun, and the windows are open to cool breezes to sweep away the heat. A few people carried Li Zhihua into the room, but smelled the slight fragrance in the room, there was a desk on the left side of the room, and some pen, ink, paper, inkstone and books were also placed on it, and there was also a spare table inside, and there were two rattan beds not far from the table, one of which was only covered with grass, and the other bed was fully covered. The two rooms are white and vain, and there is nothing else to set up, but they are very clean and quiet, which is a hundred times stronger than living in Yu Lianshui's house.

Everyone lifted Li Zhihua to the bed covered with only straw, let him lie on his back without pain in the wound, and then they all said goodbye and went back. Hexiang grabbed a mother-in-law and said, "There is Sister-in-law Lao Huang, you go and call a little brother and ask him to help this person scrub it, otherwise, you can't go to that bed to recuperate." ”

Sister-in-law Huang said: "If Miss Lao Hexiang orders, I will go and find a young man to listen to you." ”

When everyone dispersed, Hexiang brought two large basins of water and some medicine for external injuries, and took two candles, fire knives, flints, and other things and put them on the table.

Li Zhihua said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you girl for saving me several times, I will never forget it in the next life, but I am seriously injured, it is difficult to repay the kindness, I hope the girl ......will forgive me."

Hexiang said: "We are all poor people who are working hard, don't say these foreign words, lie down and don't move, be careful about your injuries, as long as you don't make Miss unhappy in the future, you won't have to worry about your life." As the saying goes, it's better to die than to live. At present, it is better to recuperate from the injury first. ”

Li Zhihua saw that what she said was only a few flesh and skin injuries, so he said: "I am seriously injured, even if I live, I will not be able to survive for a few years, but the girl's great kindness is difficult to repay." ”

Hexiang said: "I treat everyone like this, and I never want others to thank me, you are not very old, how can you say these frustrating words." ”

Li Zhihua was moved in his heart, and secretly thought: "I must not die in vain, if I die, this lotus fragrance and Lude's grace can no longer be repaid, and the hatred of the three demons and Lei Bijie and Liu Er cannot be repaid, as for Zhu Shuzhen and Chu Chu's infatuation with themselves, even if it really will not last long, you must hate it before you die." After thinking about it, he said: "It's just that it is difficult to eradicate the stubborn disease, and I am afraid that I will be tired of the girl for a long time, and it will be even more uneasy." ”

Hexiang smiled and said: "Wu Gongzi, don't be polite, I'm just a slave, and that's all I can help, when the young lady is happy in the future, I'll beg her to let you go back." ”

Li Zhihua saw that this lotus fragrance was docile and kind, and when he heard her call herself "Wu Gongzi", he felt sorry, and couldn't bear to lie to this charitable woman, and felt that it was not appropriate to tell the truth to her immediately, so he had to say: "Then thank you girl." ”

At this time, I saw a teenage servant boy walking in from outside the house, and the servant boy shouted when he entered the house, "Sister Hexiang." ”

When Hexiang saw it, he said, "It's Brother Gou'er, this guest is injured, you help him scrub it clean, and then apply medicine." By the way, if your father has any clean clothes, you will bring them later. After saying that, he took out a tael of silver from his sleeve and gave it to the dog.

The dog said: "I have cleaner clothes at home, since Sister Hexiang came to ask me for help, how could I ask you for silver?"

Hexiang said: "If you don't want silver, then I will be angry as a sister." ”

When the dog heard this, he took it with joy and said, "Thank you, Sister Hexiang." ”

Hexiang took the door out of the room, Li Zhihua was in a bad mood, but he was a person who didn't like to always talk about grievances, so he buried them deep in his heart.

The dog was very obedient, and said to Li Zhihua: "This big brother, please wait a while, I'll go home first and help you get a piece of clothing, and it will be easy to change." ”

Li Zhihua smiled and said: "Thank you, in addition, you go to Yu Lianshui's house and say, I still have fried herbs and prescriptions, please take them together." ”

The dog said, "I see." ”说完，喜孜孜地一溜烟奔出。

After a while, I heard Hexiang say not far away: "Hey, Brother Dog, have you helped him wash it, what are you doing with a bowl?" I only heard Gou'er say: "I'll go home first to get clothes, and the son said that Aunt Yu's family has a decoction and prescription, let me help him get it." He Xiang said: "You give me the medicine and prescription first, and boil it again, you can't drink the decoction when it's cold." ”

The dog entered the room and said to Li Zhihua: "I just gave the decoction and prescription and a large package of herbs to Sister Hexiang. ”

Li Zhihua nodded at him and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

The dog carefully removed his shirt and gently scrubbed the wound with a handkerchief. After a short time, he had finished washing, put on some medicinal powder, helped him put on clean clothes, put his original calloon robe into a basin and washed it, and then changed two basins of new water. After everything stopped, he said, "This big brother, what else do you need me to do?"

Li Zhihua saw that it was getting late, and said: "Thank you, it's getting dark, let's go home for dinner, I have nothing to do." ”

Only then did the dog say goodbye, took the door, and went to Hexiang to say goodbye, and then went back to the house.

Li Zhihua was lying on the bed and was sad to himself, but when he heard the door squeak, he saw that it was Hexiang who came in with medicine. Li Zhihua wanted to get up, but the injury was in severe pain, and he couldn't do it.

Seeing this, Hexiang hurriedly said, "You lie on the bed and don't move, drink this medicine first." Bringing the medicine to the front, Li Zhihua took it with tears in his eyes, drank the medicine with a bowl, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, girl, it's just that I don't dare to say thank you, as long as I can get out alive, or the original disease can be cured by heaven's will, then I will talk about kindness." ”

Hexiang said: "Wu Gongzi is also a person with a hard life, everyone can get along for a while, they need to take care of each other, how to say thank you." ”

Hexiang made another bed, helped him into it, then pushed the original bed to the side, pulled the table towards the head of the bed, lit the candle and left the room. After a while, he brought rice and chopsticks. Li Zhihua saw that the dish was one meat and one vegetable, one plate was green vegetables and fried tofu, the other plate was mixed with white and white meat, and there were four fist-sized steamed buns in the bowl. He Xiang put the vegetable rice on the corner of the table first, took a rag from his hand, wiped the tabletop, and then took out the bun and put it on the table, then put the dishes on the table, and poured a bowl of boiling water for the rice. said: "Wu Gongzi uses it slowly." Without waiting to thank him, he went out of the room.

Li Zhihua is in the water family, usually only eat some coarse tea and light rice or residual cups of cold burning, and have never seen meat, this morning only drank a bowl of gruel, and was tossed for most of the day, already hungry drums, saw these two big bowls of vegetables and steaming steamed buns, it was even more difficult to suppress hunger, a gust of wind swept away the remnants of the clouds and accompanied by a few hiccups, two plates were empty, four buns were nothing, and finally even the vegetable soup was drunk with water. After the meal was full, he suddenly secretly said ashamed and ashamed, thinking that he was eating like this, and if he saw these plates and bowls, wouldn't he be a joke?

Half an hour later, Hexiang knocked on the door outside and said, "Wu Gongzi, have you ever eaten?"

Li Zhihua was embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "I just ran out of it, and Miss Lao is worried, please come in, please come in." ”

I saw Hexiang coming with a red face. Li Zhihua saw her blushing, of course she knew that women were not allowed to enter the men's room without permission and that men and women were not intimate. Hexiang said: "I disturbed Wu Gongzi's rest, please forgive me, I wanted to come to clean up tomorrow morning, but I didn't take the liberty to come because the dishes were not enough." ”

After Li Zhihua heard this, his heart was even more moved, and he thought: "It turns out that she only has two bowls and plates, and she can only use them after I use them first." Said: "The girl should use it before I ...... How can this give me peace of mind?"

Hexiang said: "I used to live upstairs in Miss, and not long after I moved down, I used some dishes and chopsticks by myself but didn't have to carry too much, and it was inconvenient to borrow them from others, so I came to disturb the son." I'll bring some more dishes tomorrow. As he spoke, he returned to the outer room, took a few books from the table, handed them to him, and said, "If you don't feel sleepy, read the books, pass the time, and you can also urge some sleepiness." Then he said goodbye, stacked the plates and bowls, and walked away quickly.

Hexiang walked by, and the room was silent again, except for the occasional "popping" sparks of the candle flame and the sound of insects in the grass outside the room. There is a single shadow in the room at the moment, as if the whole world is also silent. After thinking about it, Li Zhihua was full of grief, and couldn't help but think about Zhu Shuzhen, Yao Chuchu and Master Gongsun Tai and others, thinking that his current life and death were uncertain, and he ended up being bullied, he couldn't help but sigh. Suddenly, I suddenly remembered the old fortune teller I met in Xiangyang City, and when I was divining the divination, I said that if I wanted to go north, there would be a disaster within ten days, and I should not approach the woman. I didn't feel cold sweat all over my body, and thought: "I gambled to the north to test whether the hexagram was effective, and I owed Chi Meijin 10,000 taels of silver, but I happened to meet Yahuan Qiutang sent by Ruan Jinfeng, so I went to stay there, and almost lost my skills, but if I hadn't been delayed by Ruan Jinfeng for a while, wouldn't I have taken the poison of the Demon Sect's 'Qiankun Eight Turning Pill'? Could this be the saying that 'misfortune and fortune are relied on, and blessing and misfortune are lurking'? If so, how should I be poisoned and bullied by these fierce women?" The more I thought about it, the more strange I felt, and I couldn't help but be amazed.

After thinking about it, he alternated with sorrow and remorse, but he didn't realize that it was almost the middle of the night, and he still didn't feel sleepy at the moment, thinking that he had only met three good people here: Mr. and Mrs. Rude and Hexiang. This owner Lei Haibiao can not only spoil his daughter's misdeeds, but also seems to be by no means a good person, this place is very close to the Hanging Sky Peak, and there must be some collusion with the Demon Sect. Otherwise, Lei Haibiao would not dare to build a village here.

I couldn't sleep, so I picked up some books sent by Hexiang and read them, and saw that they were some mediocre talks such as "Zhuzi's Family Motto", "Daughter's Sutra", "Three Character Sutra", "Shengde Sutra", "Zengguang Xianwen" and so on. Li Zhihua looked funny, except for the "Holy Virtue Sutra" and "Daughter Sutra", the rest were already able to recite backwards when they were young, thinking that this kind of foolish collection could be found in this kind of courtyard, but it was really a tiger hanging rosary, fake compassion. Anyway, Lei Bijie, Evil Liu'er and other fierce mothers-in-law won't look at these, unless it's Hexiang. Then Hu turned a few pages, put it on the side of the pillow, extinguished the candle, and did not fall asleep until it was ugly.
