The silly and sweet spring of crossing

"I want to see the prince." The young man was wearing fine white brocade, but his face was a bit haggard. His waist was slender, and he couldn't hold it tightly. He was born with a lovely and pitiful appearance.The young man looked at the housekeeper in the palace, gritted his teeth and said this sentence.

"My lord doesn't want to see you." The butler is about forty years old, with a square appearance, and even a bit fierce. He can frighten the girls and boys below to behave with just a single stare. When the young man looks at him, he also has the urge to run away.

"Why don't you want to see me? Could it be that you are guilty of the housekeeper? I know how the prince treats me. Even if he is ruthless to me, he will definitely not drive me out." The young man mustered up his courage and took a step forward. The butler couldn't help but step back a little, but he didn't talk to him anymore.

The butler stopped listening to the young man's reasoning, and asked two servants to drag him out and push him out the back door of the palace. He fell to the ground, and a package was thrown on his leg.

Qiu Baichen woke up from the cold, he flinched a few times, opened his eyes, and then suddenly widened them.

He only remembered that he lost consciousness amidst the sound of brakes. At that moment, he thought that his life was not long. However, when he woke up at this time, he didn't feel any pain in his body except his stomach.

After moving his body, Qiu Baichen slowly stood up until the numbness in his legs subsided. A strong sense of hunger swept over him, causing him to almost fall down again.Qiu Baichen slowed down, his stomach growled for a long time before he felt better.

Only then did he take a closer look at his surroundings. The place where he is staying now should be the kitchen, because there is a pot and it is right opposite the door, so it is easy to identify.Next to him was the rice jar, but when he stood up and opened the lid of the rice jar, he found that there was only one grain of rice left in it.

Qiu Baichen, who was extremely hungry, pinched the grain of rice in his hand, and put it directly on the tip of his tongue, not caring about washing it.The light grain aroma did not fill his stomach, but made him want to eat more.

He rummaged through the house again, but couldn't find anything to eat. His stomach was convulsed and hurt from hunger. He should have been a little irritable, but because of his weakness, he still couldn't accumulate any anger. His mind was full of one word, hungry. , just want to find something to eat, otherwise he will starve to death soon.

There was nothing to eat at home, so he naturally wanted to see if there was anyone nearby. When Qiu Baichen went out, he smelled the aroma of food.At this time, the sun was about to set, and it was time for dinner.Qiu Baichen swallowed his saliva, walked weakly across the yard, and opened the door.

Outside the door is a slate road that can roughly accommodate two carriages. Moss grows between the slate gaps, but because the weather is not hot yet, the green is still faint.

The place where he lives is located in an alley, and there are courtyards on both sides of the road. There are some houses on the left or right, not too many. You can see the end of the alley at a glance, but you can’t see it clearly when you look outside. .

Following the direction where the scent came from, Qiu Baichen walked to the door of the neighbor's house on the left. Just as he was about to reach out and knock on the door, he was still thinking about how to speak to him when he suddenly felt pain in his lower abdomen.The sudden piercing pain made him almost unsteady, and he covered his stomach with his hands, trying to control the strong sense of falling.

Qiu Baichen was dripping with cold sweat, gasping for breath, but his stomach hurt more and more.He bit his lip, raised one hand, knocked on the door with the last of his strength, and then lay down on the door, completely passed out.

Even after passing out, the pain didn't diminish too much. Qiu Baichen was sweating all over his head, and when he woke up, he still felt a faint pain in his lower abdomen. He exhaled and felt that someone was touching him.

Qiu Baichen opened his eyes, and saw a small black hand touching his face, and when he woke up, he quickly shrank back.

"Mother, he's awake!" The child was not very big, but his voice was not low. He shouted, and a woman came in from outside. Her face was a little tanned, but she looked very good.Seeing that Qiu Baichen was about to move, she hurried over.

"Don't move, the needle is still stuck." She said, "The doctor is back to dispense the medicine, you should eat something first."

"Thank you..." Qiu Baichen opened his mouth to thank him, but his throat was a little dry. He coughed a few times, and the child looked at him from the side, pursing his mouth, looking very serious.

The child is small and looks to be only six or seven years old. His skin is tanned because of playing outside all the year round, but he has thick black hair and has inherited his mother's good looks. His eyes are big, clear and sparkling of.

"You haven't eaten for a long time, have some porridge first." The woman said, brought over the warm porridge and fed it to Qiu Baichen.

Qiu Baichen was embarrassed at first, but when he saw the silver needle on his stomach, he didn't dare to move.He ate as soon as the woman fed him, and some minced meat was added to the porridge. Qiu Baichen, who hadn't eaten for a long time, could be said to be raining after a long drought, so he almost ate the bowl into his stomach.But the doctor ordered him not to eat too much, nor greasy and cold food, so Qiu Baichen only ate half full.

"Give it to me." Seeing that Qiu Baichen had finished eating, the child came over here, stretched out his little hand, took the empty bowl from the woman's hand, and ran to the kitchen to wash the dishes.The woman stayed and sat on the stool next to Qiu Baichen, watching him.

"Thank you, what should I call you?" Qiu Baichen asked.

"My name is Lu Ping, you can call me Sister Ping." Lu Ping replied.

"Well, Sister Ping." Qiu Baichen smiled, his face was pale, he was so thin that he almost lost his appearance, but he still had a good appearance.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of your medicine and food these days until you recover." Lu Ping said. That's what you are."

Lu Ping's words were a little reproachful, but Qiu Baichen felt warm and comfortable in her heart. She was like his old neighbor in the neighborhood. Even if the house was hung with plastic lanterns, she would come to him to buy them during the holidays. One made by him, give him some business.

Qiu Baichen knew that he probably couldn't go back and would live here in the future, but he didn't have any regrets in his heart.When he was very young, his parents died for some reason, and later his grandfather brought him up, but his grandfather also passed away two years ago, so he has nothing to miss there.

"Not in the future." Qiu Baichen said, looking like a good boy.

"The doctor is going to dispense the medicine. I'll wait for the doctor to tell you about your situation." Lu Ping couldn't help laughing seeing him like this. Seeing that Qiu Baichen was fine, she went home.

Lu Ping and her son He Lin had left, leaving Qiu Baichen alone.He was a little sleepy after eating, and it was getting dark outside, he didn't know when it was.

As soon as it got dark, the croaking of frogs and insects could be heard, and it was quiet outside. Qiu Baichen fell into a drowsy sleep, when suddenly he heard someone knock on the door and come in.

Qiu Baichen became vigilant, but still didn't dare to move. He watched the man enter the house, lit the oil lamp, took off the medicine box he was carrying, and came over with the oil lamp.

"The needle can be pulled out."

Only then did Qiu Baichen see the person who came. He was a middle-aged man in his forties with a beard. He lifted Qiu Baichen's quilt, pressed his stomach, and pulled out the silver needle.

"Does it hurt?" he asked.

"It doesn't hurt." Qiu Baichen said.

"You eat this." The man took out a pill, fed it to Qiu Baichen, and gave him water to swallow.Qiu Baichen remembered that Lu Ping said that the doctor was coming, so he knew it should be the doctor, so he obediently took the medicine.

"Stay in bed for half a month, and then we will see the situation." The doctor said.

"Well, doctor, what's wrong with me?" Qiu Baichen asked.

"You said what's wrong with you, you almost had a miscarriage, why are you so disrespectful to your body!" the doctor shouted out in anger, but cold sweat broke out on Qiu Baichen's innocent face.

"You, what do you say is wrong with me?"

"You are happy."
