After time travel, I was caught and became a fake princess
Chapter 73 The old lady in the candlelight
Su Qiuyue climbed over the top of the mountain, and vaguely saw some lights shining faintly in the distance.
Su Qiuyue felt happy, hope was right in front of her eyes. Ignoring the pain in her feet, she stumbled towards the beam of light.
But why was this road so far? It seemed like it was not far away, but it seemed like it was thousands of miles away. Su Qiuyue had no choice but to grit her teeth and keep moving forward.
She didn't know how long she walked, but she finally clearly saw the light, which was a candle that was about to burn out. Next to the candle sat an old lady with white hair, who was mending clothes under the lamp.
Just as Su Qiuyue was about to knock on the door, a big yellow dog rushed out, staring at Su Qiuyue, baring its teeth and making a whining sound.
Su Qiuyue took a few steps back in fright, but the big yellow dog bullied her and yelled at Su Qiuyue.
An old voice came from the room: "Awang, stop screaming, the old man is asleep."
The big yellow dog kept barking. Although Su Qiuyue was very courageous, this dog was too fierce and she was really scared. The poison did not kill her. If the big yellow dog bit her, she would be infected with rabies. , that would be great fun.
At this time, the wooden door opened with a creak, and the old woman stood at the door and looked out. The old woman has white hair tied up in a bun behind her head, her face is wrinkled, and she looks really kind.
When the big yellow dog saw the old woman opening the door, he hurriedly ran over and wagged his tail at the old woman.
When Su Qiuyue saw the old woman opening the door, she immediately walked forward and said to the old man: "Grandma, I want to go to the capital to visit relatives, but I lost my way and ended up here unknowingly. Old man, I am a weak woman who really can't There’s a place to go, can I stay at your place for one night?”
"I still have a few taels of silver here, so I won't embarrass you, old man."
Before she finished speaking, the yellow dog bared its teeth at Su Qiuyue. The old woman hurried over to comfort the yellow dog, and the yellow dog finally stopped barking.
Seeing that the yellow dog was no longer hostile, the old lady said kindly: "Girl, you must have suffered a lot on the road. The visitor is a guest. If the girl doesn't mind, just come in. This house is simple, and I don't dare to ask for the girl's money." "
When Su Qiuyue heard the old man's words, she almost burst into tears. Endless exhaustion surged up like a lake, as if all her strength had been drained away.
"Thank you, grandma." Su Qiuyue's voice was choked with sobs.
The old lady took Su Qiuyue's hand and entered the house. The house was indeed very simple, with only a stool, a table, and a few benches.
On the right side of the house is the stove, and on the left side is the back room. There is a wooden bed in the back room, and an old man is lying on the bed.
Hearing something moving outside the house, the old man walked out to see what was going on. When he saw Su Qiuyue, the old man was stunned for a moment, then showed a kind smile and said, "It turns out there are guests."
The old lady said: "Old man, go and prepare some hot water. This girl has been traveling all day and night. Soaking her feet in hot water will make her feel better."
The old man said: "Okay, old woman, there are still a few steamed buns left in the kitchen. You can heat them up and let the girl fill her stomach."
Su Qiuyue hurriedly waved her hands and said, "Grandpa and grandma, don't bother me. I'll just sleep for one night and then leave."
The old lady smiled kindly and said: "Since you have called us grandparents, then treat this place as your own home. Don't think so much. You sit down and rest for a while, and I will heat up the steamed buns."
Su Qiuyue stopped refusing and sat down on the bench. As soon as she sat down, her feet began to hurt.
She took off her mud-stained cloth shoes and socks, revealing a pair of red and swollen feet. The heels were worn out, blood was oozing from the skin, and there were several blisters on her toes.
Su Qiuyue really wanted to cry without tears. She was afraid that she would not be able to make it on her way in the past two days, but this place was too close to the capital. If she stayed here for a few days, Chang Baiqing and the others would definitely chase her.
While thinking wildly, the old man brought a wooden basin with steam inside.
"Girl, I've tested the water temperature and it's just right. You can soak your feet." The old man said in a calm tone.
Su Qiuyue said thank you and soaked her red and swollen feet in the water. The moment her feet touched the water, it felt like being pricked by a needle. Su Qiuyue shivered in pain.
When the old man saw Su Qiuyue's feet, he shook his head: "Girl, your feet are injured like this. You need to take good care of them. You can't go on the road like this anymore."
The old lady also came over with a few steamed buns: "Girl, your feet are really thin and tender. How far have you walked?"
"After soaking your feet, you need to wipe them dry. If there are no wounds, they will heal slowly." The old lady said, walked into the house and took out a piece of plain cloth: "Quickly wipe, you can't go on your way anymore, I'm here Stay for two more days and wait for the wounds to scab before leaving."
Su Qiuyue responded while wiping her feet. The old lady brought a pair of brand new cloth shoes and said, "After washing your feet, put on these shoes. There are soft cloths in the shoes, so it won't hurt when you put them on."
Su Qiuyue was moved for a moment. It seemed that she was really lucky today and ran into this old couple.
Su Qiuyue said: "I am alone and helpless. God opened his eyes and allowed me to meet you, my grandparents. My granddaughter thanks you again." After saying this, Su Qiuyue was about to bow and salute.
The two old men hurriedly helped Su Qiuyue up: "Girl, you're welcome. The old man and I usually live here. It's very deserted. If you can come here, our house can be lively."
After Su Qiuyue ate two hot buns, the old lady arranged for her to sleep on an old wooden bed.
Su Qiuyue was used to sleeping on soft beds, but she was not used to lying on a hard bed. However, a huge sleepiness came over her, and she fell into a deep sleep after a while.
At noon the next day, Su Qiuyue slowly woke up. As soon as she got up, the old lady came in with a smile: "Girl, there is a handsome young man outside the door who has been waiting for you for several hours. Go and have a look."
A handsome young man? Su Qiuyue frowned, could it be that Ye came looking for her?
Su Qiuyue slept deeply last night and did not take off her clothes. At this time, she put on her shoes and walked out.
"Aunt Su, you're finally awake!" Su Qiuyue looked up and saw that it was Qin Yan.
"why you?"
"Why can't it be me."
"How did you find this place?"
"There is no one in this world that I, Qin Yan, can't find."
Suddenly, a figure flew down from the tree, and Su Qiuyue's face suddenly fell. It was night.
Su Qiuyue felt extremely frustrated. She had been rushing for so long, and all her efforts were in vain.
This night is like a piece of candy that sticks to me and can't be shaken off.
When Qin Yan saw Ye, he said with a playful smile: "Hey, Mr. Ye is here too."
Ye snorted softly and said, "I arrived an hour earlier than you."
