The Peach Blossom in March
Chapter 33
Snow, at some point, fell again, as big as a goose feather, and soon covered Wang Lianhua and Qi Sutao.
The uncle driving the car was wearing a coir raincoat, and seeing the heavy snow, he couldn't help worrying about Qi Sutao and Wang Lianhua in the car. "You two, there is still a coir raincoat in the corner of my car. If you and your wife don't wear it, you will be in town in half a day."
"Thank you, old man." Wang Lianhua thanked, looked at the car, and sure enough saw a lone coir raincoat at the corner.
Just one piece, how to wear it?
Qi Sutao saw it too, the coir raincoat was very big, so it was no problem for her to cover the two of them. "You sit, I'll get it." Climbing forward a few steps, stretching out his hand, he took the coir raincoat over, unfolded the coir raincoat, smelling the smell of grass, at this time Qi Sutao didn't care about it, and went directly to her and Wang Lian. Put a cover on the flower, and use it as a straw umbrella to block the snowflakes falling from the head.
With a cloak on their bodies and a coir raincoat on their heads, their faces were still red from the cold. The two of them seemed to be out on an outing, unlucky enough to meet a silly donkey friend who didn't have any cold-proof equipment for a snowy day.
Next to Wang Lianhua, Qi Sutao asked tremblingly, "Aren't you cold?"
He stretched out his hand to hold Qi Sutao's cold hand, looked sideways, and saw that her face was extremely red from the cold, subconsciously stimulated the true energy in her body, and transmitted it to Qi Sutao through the clasped hands. "Cough, bear it any longer, it will be fine in town." After coughing lightly, Wang Lianhua's face became even paler because of stimulating the true energy in her body and affecting her internal injuries.
Qi Sutao didn't notice, she glanced at him, stretched out her hand and patted his back lightly: "Ren Ren, I'll find a doctor for you when I get to the town."
Wang Lianhua curled her lips into a smile: "Miss, you are so kind." The color of her lips that should have been vermilion has faded, and they are miserable white.
Qi Sutao: "..." After all this, Wang Lianhua is really capable of taking advantage of others verbally.
Being held by Wang Lianhua's hand, her body soon warmed up, and she deliberately approached her again, Qi Sutao sighed: "You are really like a human-shaped stove, it's so warm, that's great."
Wang Lianhua: "..."
Around evening, the car entered the city, and the kind uncle specially sent them to the best and largest inn in the town.In fact, the uncle originally wanted to send it to an inn that can be seen when entering the city, but it is a pity that in the past two days, many martial arts people have come to the town, and many inns are full. The only one that can move out the guest room is the Laifu Inn up.
Arriving at the Laifu Inn, Qi Sutao helped Wang Lianhua get off the carriage. Since she had no money, Wang Lianhua paid for the hard work along the way.Wang Lianhua was indeed rich, and she carried a lot of silver notes on her body, and she took out the smallest silver note from her body and handed it to the uncle: "This is the reward you deserve." Wang Lianhua is not a good person, but she does not owe anyone. .
The uncle was stunned when he took the bank note, he felt as if he was dreaming, this bank note was the smallest denomination to Wang Lianhua, but to the uncle it was money that he would never spend the rest of his life.It was a silver note of 500 taels, which saved the uncle, his wife, and his daughter from having to live a hard life for the rest of their lives.Putting the banknote carefully in his pocket, the uncle looked at Wang Lianhua and Qi Sutao who had entered the inn, and bowed respectfully to them.
It's just that if you do a good deed once, there will be such a reward, it's worth it!
Walking into the inn, Wang Lianhua took out another thousand taels of silver bill and handed it to the shopkeeper: "The money will be counted first, how much is paid, how much is counted, find a good house, and then find me the best house in the town." Good doctor, come here." After saying that, she couldn't help coughing again, Qi Sutao saw this, supported him and said, "You'd better take a rest, don't talk."
Wang Lianhua took a breath, nodded slightly, and leaned most of her body weight on Qi Sutao.
This thousand taels of silver bill is very easy to manipulate, just like in Qinyang City, Qi Sutao used a golden bean to get the shopkeeper to give her and Zhu Baan the front and rear horses.All the staff in the inn were taken care of by the shopkeeper, and asked them to take good care of Wang Lianhua and Qi Sutao.
There is one of the best guest rooms on the third floor of the Laifu Inn, and a businessman happened to check out yesterday.Because there are many people living in the room on weekdays, the guest room is always cleaned. The charcoal fire inside is also necessary every day. In order to allow guests to check in at any time, the tea, wine and snacks inside are also excellent.Helping Wang Lianhua to go in, Qi Sutao turned around and told a clerk: "Put some money on the cabinet to buy some ready-made men's and women's clothes and shoes, hire a big carriage and prepare some hot water."
The guy kept Qi Sutao's order firmly in mind, and went down to do it in a hurry.
After a while, the hot water came up. Two people carried a bucket of water into the house and put the hot water in the inner room behind the screen.After a while, a well-known doctor in the town was also invited by the shopkeeper.After Qi Sutao helped Wang Lianhua to the soft couch, she poured a cup of hot water for him and herself.Pass a cup of hot water in front of him: "Drink a cup of hot water to get rid of the cold."
The doctor entered the guest room, nodded to Wang Lianhua and Qi Sutao, and then went to treat Wang Lianhua.What Wang Lianhua suffered was internal injuries, which were not serious, but he had a good foundation, and he only needed to rest for ten and a half months and take the medicine prepared by the doctor to recover.
After thanking the doctor, he sent the doctor out, and Qi Sutao asked the shopkeeper to prepare some light food.
The shopkeeper nodded again and again, and went down to do it.
After closing the door, Qi Sutao glanced at the bucket of hot water that was carried into the back of the screen just now and said to Wang Lianhua, "My lord, take a bath first to get rid of the cold." The hot water in the wooden bucket was full of steam, and now Taking a bath is the most comfortable time.
Looking at the steaming wooden barrel behind the screen, Wang Lianhua propped her cheek with one hand, and said with a smile, "Aren't Ruohua together?"
Qi Sutao said with a blank expression: "It's better to leave."
Wang Lianhua: "..." Just kidding, why take it seriously?
Wang Lianhua finally went to take a hot bath in it by herself. On the way, the waiter brought up the ready-made men's and women's clothes and shoes.I have to say that the clothes sent by the buddy are all good, the workmanship is very good, and the fabric is also very good.
Thanks to the buddy, Qi Sutao picked out a set of pale clothes, carried it to a chair, put the clothes on the chair, and pushed the chair behind the screen little by little. "The clothes are on the top, you can change after washing." As he said, he went downstairs with a new set of clothes and asked the buddy where he could provide hot water for bathing.
The guy was a little confused by Qi Sutao's question, did the couple wash it separately?I felt weird in my heart, but I didn't say anything, just said that there is a backyard of the inn, and I can wash it now.After thanking the man, I paid 20 taels from the cabinet as a tip for the man, and then Qi Sutao took the clothes and washed them in the shower room at the back.
Wang Lianhua heard Qi Sutao's voice going out, and as a competent kidnapper, he was not at all worried that Qi Sutao would escape.No way, who made me count as Qi Sutao's long-term meal ticket?Speaking of long-term meal tickets, he didn't understand at first, but Qi Sutao explained it to him on the way, and after explaining it, he somehow wanted to pinch Qi Sutao.
Generally speaking, Qi Sutao didn't leave because he had money to pay, and because he, the kidnapper, treated her well as a hostage, offering food and drink.
I don't know why, but the reason Qi Sutao said made him very upset.
Leaning on the wooden barrel, Wang Lianhua stared at the ceiling, her lips curled into an arc.He was injured, and Jin Wuwang broke his arm, so it wasn't too much of a loss. As for Zuo Gonglong and Jin?Heh, this kind of person is dispensable, and there is nothing to regret, especially if money is not exchanged.
The two packs of medicine handed to Xiao Ling and Xiao Fang were poisonous, deadly poison, but they didn't die so easily, but tortured them slowly.Judging by the expressions of Xiaoling and Xiaofang at that time, that Jinbuhuan must have been fed the most. "It's such a pity." It's a little regretful that he couldn't solve Jin Buhuan himself. If Wang Lianhua hadn't been seriously injured, he would have made Jin Buhuan's death even more painful.
Dare to plot against Wang Lianhua like that, so far the only one he can tolerate is Shen Lang, and there will never be a second person.
Originally, Wang Lianhua planned to go directly to one of his secret places for recuperation, but now it seems that staying in this inn is not a bad thing.Judging from his current situation, instead of continuing to run around, it is better to hide here to recuperate.After all, a "good thing" is about to happen here too.
Thinking of this, Wang Lianhua looked sideways at the suit on the chair, the very pale color reminded him of Shen Lang.
Touching her chin, Wang Lianhua laughed lowly, thinking of an interesting plan.
After Qi Sutao took a comfortable hot bath below, she changed into clean and warm clothes and shoes.When he came out, he was not cold at all because he was wearing a warm big fur cloak.The clothes I was holding in my hands were changed just now, and they can still be worn after washing, but the shoes are a bit sad. The relationship between walking in the snow, soaked in blood, is basically useless.
"What's wrong with this girl?" Seeing Qi Sutao sighing with a ball of wet clothes and shoes in her arms, an aunt who worked in the inn couldn't help asking.
Qi Sutao looked at the aunt, and said embarrassedly: "Auntie, I want to ask, is there a place to wash clothes and shoes here? I want to wash the clothes."
When the aunt saw this, she couldn't help being amused: "Of course there is a place to wash, but girl, you really know how to joke, how can your guests do this kind of work, give it to the old lady." Qi Sutao snatched the clothes from his hand: "We can just come for these."
Qi Sutao was still embarrassed: "Well, ma'am, why are you so embarrassed?"
The aunt smiled: "This is what the aunt does. You can't compete with the aunt for the job, can you?"
In the end, Qi Sutao still didn't argue with the aunt. Obviously, the aunt was better at speaking than her, and she was better at working than her.Seeing the back of the aunt walking away, Qi Sutao couldn't help but sigh, since she has lived to this day, no one else has washed her clothes except her own mother, which made her very at a loss.
Taking a deep breath and sighing heavily, Qi Sutao went to the front and paid 20 taels of silver to the shopkeeper, then took the silver and went back to give it to the aunt.The aunt didn't expect Qi Sutao to be a rich owner, and after looking at the 20 taels of silver for a long time, she hurriedly thanked her.
Qi Sutao waved her hand, smiled and went back to the guest room upstairs.
When going upstairs, two guys just happened to lift the wooden barrel out from inside, obviously Wang Lianhua had taken a bath.
Walking in, the incense burner is dense, and the pleasant smell immediately dilutes the moisture in the room.Almost all the lights in the room were on, Wang Lianhua was leaning on the soft couch with a cup of tea in her hand, extremely lazy.
Wang Lianhua was wearing the light blue suit that Qi Sutao had chosen for him, it was not dark blue, but very light blue like the clear sky.Compared with Shen Lang, Wang Lianhua seems to be suitable for any color of clothes, especially the scarlet color.However, the blue color he is wearing now also sets off his Zhilan Yushu, which is very beautiful.
Entering the room and closing the door, Qi Sutao saw him lying on the soft couch like this, with nothing covered on his body, couldn't help but frowned: "Why don't you cover something, isn't it cold?"
After taking a sip of tea, Wang Lianhua put the teacup aside, smiled slightly and said, "It's not cold."
"Did you forget the pain after the scar? Your injury hasn't healed yet. Don't make your injury worse because of the cold." Although he was wearing clothes and there was a charcoal fire in the room, Wang Lianhua was originally a wounded person, and even more so. It must not be cold at all.
Walking into the room, she took a thin blanket and came out. Qi Sutao covered Wang Lianhua's body with it, stared at his hair and asked, "Have you washed your hair yet?"
"Washed, can't you see it?" Wang Lianhua stroked her hair.
Qi Sutao looked shocked: "I'll go, your hair is already dry?" Even Wang Lianhua's hair volume shouldn't be done so fast?Look at her humble hair volume, she hasn't dried her hair until now! !What kind of unnatural operation is this?
Reaching out to touch Wang Lianhua's hair, Qi Sutao was shocked.
"Prince, you, are you a human body dryer?"
Wang Lianhua: "...??" What? !
The uncle driving the car was wearing a coir raincoat, and seeing the heavy snow, he couldn't help worrying about Qi Sutao and Wang Lianhua in the car. "You two, there is still a coir raincoat in the corner of my car. If you and your wife don't wear it, you will be in town in half a day."
"Thank you, old man." Wang Lianhua thanked, looked at the car, and sure enough saw a lone coir raincoat at the corner.
