Originally, today’s plan could not be done. Thinking of the clothes that were still thrown by the river, Zhou Qingwu’s brows were a little dull, he let out a sigh of relief, turned around and went to the stove to look at the medicine she was cooking, and went to get it back after the medicine was finished. Bar.Then I have to grab medicine and buy ginseng for her.

Just as she fanned the fire, there was a knock on the door, Zhou Qingwu stood up, opened the door and walked out. Aunt Liu came.

Aunt, Zhou Qingwu said hello.Aunt Liu looked anxious, looked into the room and approached: "Girl Qingwu, I heard they saw you rushing home with Dr. Du, what happened? Are you uncomfortable?"

Zhou Qingwu shook his head, hesitated for a moment, she pulled Aunt Liu into the room, and then closed the door.

The smell of medicine in the room was obvious, and I was shocked to see Aunt Liu lying on the bed.

"Girl Qingwu?"

Zhou Qingwu still trusted Aunt Liu very much, and told her what happened with gestures, but concealed the fact that she was injured by the knife.

Aunt Liu often communicated with Zhou Qingwu, and Zhou Qingwu's sign language was first given to Zhou Qingwu by someone she found. After understanding what she meant, she frowned, looked at Zhou Qingwu and said with pity: "Auntie knows you are kind, but girl Qingwu, you Life is so difficult, how can you survive now that you have to take care of such a seriously injured person? How much is the medical bill? If she fails, you... you may have to pay for it!"

Aunt Liu glanced at the girl on the bed, her forehead was wrapped with a white cloth, her face was very pale, but her brows and eyes were delicate and her skin was fair and delicate, she looked like a fairy in a painting, she was prettier than the ladies from rich families, she was not like them at first sight other people's.

"Girl Qingwu, this girl looks rich or expensive, doesn't she have anything valuable?"

Zhou Qingwu stared at Aunt Liu in a daze, but did not move.Aunt Liu sighed and said: "Silly girl, what are you thinking? Auntie means that you saved her life and hired a doctor for her. If she has valuables on her body, we will not be greedy for other things. Please ask the doctor." It’s only natural for her to pay for the money for the medicines and food. You can’t get rid of the blame, and you have to take care of her, so you can’t be foolish enough to take on someone else’s debts.”

Aunt Liu is just a woman, she actually has a very good heart, and she is not a person who has an eye for money and is greedy for small profits.But Zhou Qingwu was poor, so he didn't mention the painstaking efforts of saving people, he couldn't let this silly girl go hungry and pay for medical treatment.

Zhou Qingwu naturally knew that she was very grateful to Aunt Liu, and said seriously: Don't worry, I know, I don't use mine, she has silver on her.

Aunt Liu breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, but the woman couldn't hold back her thoughts. She couldn't help but wondered: "How much money is there? Is it enough? Don't be so rigid. If you have spare money to improve your life, you can save it." Leave her alone, it’s fine to use a little.”

Zhou Qingwu stretched out his hand and gestured: She has broken silver, four or five taels, she is seriously injured, and needs good medicinal materials to nourish her, so I can't move around.I still have something to eat. When she gets better, I can dig herbs and chop firewood. I won’t be hungry.

Aunt Liu has taken good care of her in the past few years, and she is also very aware of Zhou Qingwu's temperament. Although she is withdrawn and indifferent on weekdays, she is pure and sincere in her bones. Seeing her waving her hand and saying that she is not hungry, she sighed in her heart and could only comfort her again: " Don’t move around, it’s good to buy some coarse food slowly. And girl, don’t tell other people about her money, those women in the village are very talkative, if they want to know, they have to make up and slander you.”

After Zhou Qingwu listened, he lowered his eyebrows and nodded.Those people in the village didn't want to see her, so she naturally wouldn't talk about these things, and even hid them a little from Aunt Liu.It's not distrust, everyone is innocent and guilty, the less people know how much money this person has, the better.

Originally, she didn't want others to know that she saved someone, but because she was in a hurry to find a doctor, she couldn't hide it anymore.Thinking of this, Zhou Qingwu gestured to Aunt Liu: Auntie, don't tell others who I saved.

Seeing her pointing at the person on the bed and waving her hand, Aunt Liu understood that such a matter was a topic of conversation in the village, and she could imagine how those people looked when they were talking about it, so she quickly agreed.

But there is no impenetrable wall in the world, so they bumped into Du Zhong and they already knew that there was a sick person in Zhou Qingwu's family, but they didn't know where it came from.So some people said that they saw something Zhou Qingwu carried on his back from a distance, and now that he realizes it should have saved someone.So only one day has passed, and countless versions have been circulated, like making up a storybook.

Most people say that Zhou Qingwu picked up the son of a rich family, and people who look at the face say that they are either rich or expensive just by looking at the clothes.Now the chin is hidden in the house waiting for others to find it, so as to ask for a reward. I am afraid that this little mute will climb up the high branches and become a great success in the future.

The rumors were so eloquent, it aroused the envy and jealousy of the women in the village, and some people sneaked over in the afternoon to find out the truth.Zhou Qingwu didn't want to bother, the door was closed on weekdays, and the door was locked when going out to grab medicine, so no one saw who she saved.

Running back and forth all day, frightened and frightened, Zhou Qingwu was exhausted.And this day she didn't have time to eat, so hungry and dizzy.

Open the urn, there are only some beans and wheat at the bottom of the urn.Looking at the overly clean bowls and bowls in the kitchen, Zhou Qingwu lowered his eyes, and carefully emptied out the beans and wheat in the urn, which was only a small handful.

I don't have time to go out today, and I haven't dug any wild vegetables, so I can only use this mat for the time being.After soaking the beans and barley, she took a small cloth bag on the table into the kitchen. She bought a liter of rice when picking up medicine today. There was a seriously ill person in the family who couldn't eat the whole grains, so she allocated some money to buy it. rice.

He grabbed some rice and put it on a simmer in an earthen pot. He was reluctant to pour out the rice washing water, so Zhou Qingwu used it to cook bean and bean rice.Bean and bean rice is the most commonly eaten food for poor people. It is not a good food. If you eat too much, you will get bloated, and the barley is hard to swallow, but it is not bad for Zhou Qingwu, at least you will not starve.

After eating a small bowl of bean and bean rice, the feeling of hunger eased a little, but the experience was really not good.The porridge in the crock had already started to gurgling. Zhou Qingwu hadn't tasted that kind of aroma for a long time. After swallowing, she opened the crock and stirred it, then closed it tightly and got up to boil hot water.

While waiting for the porridge to finish, Zhou Qingwu sat down in the room and carefully looked at the person she saved.I have to say that she looks really good-looking, with fair skin without any blemishes, long eyelashes, like a cattail fan when she closes her eyes, but her face is too pale, and her beautiful thin lips have lost their color.

Such a young and good-looking person didn't know what happened to him. He almost died after suffering such a serious injury.Zhou Qingwu just stared at her like this, thinking to himself: When she wakes up quickly, explain to her that he moved her money.Although she was forced to, she also felt tormented.

Since her parents passed away, she has been living alone in this old house, which is actually very lonely.The villagers thought she was unknown, and would never talk to her, let alone play with her, except to tease her.

Most of those people would only bully her more because of her fragility, so she stopped laughing and forced herself not to cry.But she was only 15 years old, and she seemed tough, but she was lying alone in an empty room in the dead of night, and the pain of being ravaged by life was about to overwhelm her.

Although this person is unconscious now, she is not alone after all, and she can be considered a consolation.

The porridge was ready, and the tempting aroma rushed to her face along with the heat. She didn't cook much, and it just filled a bowl.Because the person is still in a coma, she does not cook thick.Holding the white rice porridge, Zhou Qingwu couldn't help swallowing, and finally forced himself to put the porridge aside, raised the pillow higher, and carefully fed it to her with a spoon.

I don't know how long she hasn't eaten. The rice porridge was fed into her mouth, and after a while she began to unconsciously move her lips to swallow it by herself.

Zhou Qingwu stared at her intently, and after seeing her swallowing, he finally let out a smooth breath. His little yellow face was no longer cold and numb, but showed a faint smile, able to It's just too good to eat.

She was very patient, and she fed it slowly, spoon by spoon. She didn't stop until the person who had eaten half a bowl couldn't move his mouth anymore.

Looking at the remaining half bowl of porridge, Zhou Qingwu struggled a little. It was for the patient, and it was spent on other people's money. She ate it secretly when others couldn't finish it. It always felt a little wrong.

But the stomach that had just been roughly appeased felt the scent and started to feel agitated again. Zhou Qingwu glanced at the person on the bed, and she couldn't eat the leftover porridge anymore, because she was a patient after all.After hesitating, she bent over to the person on the bed, and went back to the kitchen to finish the remaining porridge.

At first she was still reserved, but later she almost gobbled it up.In the village, it is rare for ordinary people to eat rice porridge unless it is a special situation, and Zhou Qingwu hasn't eaten such delicious rice porridge for a long time.

She hadn't cooked porridge for a long time, and she couldn't measure it properly, and the injured people ate too little, so she only tasted some, but she still felt a little uneasy.I secretly thought that I should cook less tomorrow, so that the other party can eat longer.

Although there are four or five taels of silver, it is estimated that it will cost two or three taels to ask the doctor to get the medicine and buy the ginseng. This person has to go home after he recovers, and he also needs money, so I can't squander it on her.

The drowsiness hit uncontrollably, he wiped his body for others, and after washing himself, Zhou Qingwu curled up outside the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

It was already the next morning when he woke up again. Someone was knocking on the door outside. Zhou Qingwu just got dressed and hurried to open the door.

Standing outside the courtyard was Aunt Liu. She held a bowl and waved to Zhou Qingwu with a smile: "Girl Qingwu, you got up late today."

Opening the door, Zhou Qingwu clenched his fist and knocked on his arm: I'm too tired.

Aunt Liu felt a little distressed, and stuffed the bowl she was carrying into Zhou Qingwu's hand.

"Come on, this is a pancake made by my aunt. It's just spread out. You can taste it."

There were two cakes in the bowl, with sesame seeds sprinkled on top, Zhou Qingwu could smell the burnt aroma of the cakes, and it looked delicious.

Zhou Qingwu's face froze slightly, and then she refused, and she gestured quickly: "Auntie has a lot of family members, so don't give it back to me, take it to Brother Zhou and the others to eat at work."

Aunt Liu immediately put on a serious face: "Don't want it every time, you stubborn girl. Naturally, Auntie brings it to you when she has a lot. Your brother Zhou and the others have eaten a lot. You can try Auntie's handicrafts, you are not allowed, hurry up!"

Zhou Qingwu couldn't shirk it and could only take it, staring at the cake in his hand, his eyes were a little hot.In this village, there are too many people who hate her and slander her, but there are also some people who have given her a lot of kindness, such as Aunt Liu who has been taking care of her, and Uncle Ge who looks rough.

Thank you auntie.She stretched out her thumb and bent it twice.

Aunt Liu scolded, "Neighbors, thank you. By the way, how is that girl?"

Zhou Qingwu gestured: still asleep, didn't have a fever last night, and drank half a bowl of porridge, his face looks much better than before.

She pointed to the room with some joy in her eyes.

Aunt Liu nodded, thinking about the gossip in the village, she frowned and said: "Those gossip women, it's okay to make up nonsense, what did you say that you saved a son, and the lonely man and widow are together, I'm afraid we will..." Speaking of this She stopped, and then comforted: "When the girl wakes up, those talkative people will shut up, girl Qingwu, don't worry about it, don't worry."

Zhou Qingwu nodded, she didn't care about it a long time ago, she had heard too many such cruel words, and she was used to it.

Aunt Liu talked to her for a while, and then her husband Zhou Shishan called her, and she left.Watching her leave, Zhou Qingwu, who was standing at the gate of the yard, looked at the cake in his hand, lowered his head and sniffed it gently, keeping this feeling in his heart.

Holding the cake, Zhou Qingwu walked to the bedside, the cold and hard look on his face softened, and he was even a little happy.In fact, she is very happy now. At the age of 15, she is satisfied with the hard-won rations, but she can't open her mouth to describe it like her only partner, so she rolled her eyes. The little girl put the cake on the other's nose and slapped it gently. .

Silently said: You must be hungry if you can only drink a little porridge. If you wake up, you can eat cakes.
