two ears pricked up

The small fingernails were covered with wet saliva, and when Chu Shaojie wiped Xiao Qi dry with a handkerchief, his face was rarely hot.

He is a big man in his thirties, he has seen many storms in the court, and he has brought countless beauties into his arms. He should behave calmly, but what he did to Xiao Qi, he crossed the limit, like a climber. The prodigal son takes advantage of people's ignorance.

Chu Shaojie reflected secretly, unconsciously clenched his feet curled up in his palms.

After washing up, Xiao Qi refused to get out of bed, and lay on her stomach with her arms and legs up, asking Chu Shaojie to feed her breakfast, the soft, glutinous and sweet porridge, which had a different flavor than radishes and vegetables.

Although Chu Shaojie is now the magistrate of the county, he is also the biggest magistrate in Yuqiao County. How can there be a magistrate who serves people in person?

Seeing this, the third uncle who was waiting at the side said respectfully: "My lord, why don't you let me feed the young master Qi, can you have some breakfast first?"

Chu Shaojie blew the clear porridge in the cold spoon, and patiently brought it to Xiao Qi's mouth, "No, from now on, you will be Xiao Qi and the owner of this house."

Sanbo frowned, knowing that the magistrate was telling him to treat Xiao Qi as his master, not his pet.

The county magistrate first raised a rabbit, and then raised a young boy of unknown origin. He acted freely and was very unpredictable.

After breakfast, Dr. Sun, whom Sanbo invited yesterday, has come to the door and has been waiting outside for some time.

Chu Shaojie pinched Xiaoqi's left leg lightly with his fingers to calm down his emotions first, and said, "Dr. Sun is the most skilled doctor in Yuqiao County. I'll invite him to show you your eyes and legs. Don't be afraid. I'm just watching."

"Eyes?" Xiao Qi whispered, his hands flickering in front of his eyes, "I can't see..."

But during the thunderstorm that day, he clearly saw Chu Shaojie's figure.

Xiao Qi grasped Chu Shaojie's fingers tightly, "Chu Chu, I want to see you."

Ningshen incense was burning in the room, and Xiao Qi lay down on the bed, with one hand on the soft mattress, holding Chu Shaojie's fingers.

Dr. Sun was led in by the third uncle, and made a gesture of kneeling and kowtowing, "My lord, the grassroots are polite."

Chu Shaojie signaled Uncle San to pull him up, "I don't need to salute so much here, you can show him the injury first."

Dr. Sun put down the medicine box and began to check Xiaoqi's eyes and left leg.During the inspection, Chu Shaojie was more nervous than Xiao Qi, for fear of any mistakes in Xiao Qi's injury.

After Dr. Sun finished his examination, Chu Shaojie hurriedly asked, "How is it? Is there a chance for his eyes and legs to recover?"

Dr. Sun opened the medicine box and said: "Young Master's eyes have been injured, the medicine he applied before, please ask the adults to show the prescription to the grass people."

Sanbo fetched the prescription, Doctor Sun looked at it, and nodded in praise, "Although this prescription is a folk prescription, judging from my son's current condition, the effect of the medicine is good. In about two months, his eyes are expected to recover. His leg injury is already a year old. The old disease, and after repeated inflammations, the root of the disease has fallen early, and we can only treat it slowly so that the young master can stand up slowly, and the chance of a cure may not be great."

It cannot be cured, which means that even if Xiaoqi can walk in the next day, he will still be crippled.

Xiao Qi vaguely understood what the doctor meant, and asked, "Chu Chu, my legs will be lame all my life, right?"

Chu Shaojie was afraid that he would be upset, "It's okay, I will find more doctors for you."

However, he shook his head and put his hand on the scar on his left leg. He didn't look too sad, his tone fluttered lightly, and his out-of-focus eyes fell on the endless darkness of the void, "Chu Chu, I'm not sad. If my eyes have a chance to heal, I will be content to see you in the future."

The prescriptions prescribed by Chen Bohan are still being used, Dr. Sun also prescribed some warming and nourishing medicines for Xiao Qi, his body is weak and his foundation is weak, and he has to rely on his daily diet to make up slowly.

After prescribing the prescription, Sanbo took the prescription to the pharmacy in the city to get the medicine. Chu Shaojie was concerned about Xiao Qi's left leg. He had a good relationship with several imperial doctors when he was in the capital. After putting Xiao Qi to sleep, he rushed to the study to prepare Several letters were sent to the capital quickly.

"Chu Chu."

Xiaoqi groped around and climbed out of the bed with hands and feet.He was still asleep just now, but he woke up after squinting his eyes for a while. He didn't see Chu Shaojie, and regardless of the weakness of his hands and feet, he fumbled around looking for someone.

Sanbo came back from taking the medicine, passed by outside the house, and out of the corner of his eye, the people crawling around like headless chickens inside the house were half frightened.

Sanbo put down the medicine bag, ran over and took Xiaoqi back to the bed, "Young master, are you in a hurry?"

Xiao Qi was flustered, the tip of his nose was covered with sweat, "Where's Chu Chu?"

Sanbo said: "Your Excellency may have gone out on business, young master, don't run away if you rest here, I will go outside to look for it."

Xiao Qi begged him, "Then uncle, hurry up..."

A soft uncle made Sanbo feel sore in his heart.Sanbo didn't dare to neglect, so he hurried out to find the magistrate and come back.

-

In the middle of the night, Xiaoqi was carried back to the room by Chu Shaojie himself. He was only wearing a small white mandarin jacket, revealing a large piece of clean arm, which was wrapped around Chu Shaojie's neck, and his legs were entwined behind his waist.

Not long after taking a bath, Xiao Qi's body broke out in a thin layer of sweat. His body couldn't stand the heat, so he wanted to stick to Chu Shaojie. While complaining to Chu Shaojie in a low voice, he didn't want the other party to let go of his arms.

"Chu Chu, don't let go of my hand."

Chu Shaojie lay down with his head between his arms, and fanned him with a cattail fan.

The bed is facing the window, and the light and floating gauze is bundled on both sides, revealing the shining stars in the night.

Chu Shaojie asked someone to build this window, and deliberately changed it to a larger size, watching the stars at night and drinking in the wind.

Now that he has no interest in drinking, he wants to look at the starry sky outside the window with Xiao Qi, but...

Xiao Qi raised her blind eyes, and when she laughed, her long eyelashes fell down, covering her eyes.

He said, "Chu Chu, if my eyes are healed, you will be the first person to see me."

He complained again in a low voice, "It's hot." Those two legs spontaneously entangled between Chu Shaojie's legs, and the hot breath from his breath brushed the moisture and sprayed on the side of Chu Shaojie's neck.

The climate is hot, and Sanbo sprinkled a lot of well water in the yard. After nightfall, the bottom of the well cools down, and the well water is cool. Many farmers use this method to relieve the sweltering heat in the house. The well water is sprinkled in every corner, and the water vapor fills the windows It is wide open, and the wind that penetrates slightly carries the cool water vapor, so that the heat in the room can be dissipated.

Night insects were everywhere, and the squeaking and croaking noises disturbed Xiao Qi's peaceful thoughts, and his legs slid along Chu Shaojie's body, and his ankles tightened, causing someone to catch him and hold him in his arms.

Chu Shaojie lowered his voice, "Don't move around, take a good rest."

"Hot..." Xiao Qi fumbled blindly, and when he touched his abdomen, it was a little painful through the thin and loose fabric.

He asked curiously: "Chu Chu, why did you take out a wooden stick and poke me after I touched it for a while? Are you going to punish me?"

Chu Shaojie bound his hands and feet under his body, and said with a smile: "You are still young, I will tell you when you are older."

"Well, can't we talk now?"

Chu Shaojie said righteously, "I can't." After finishing speaking, his tense body stepped back, separating an edge.
