As soon as Gu Ci went out, Xiao closed the door, lifted up Jiaojiao's clothes, and checked carefully.Except for the joints like knees and elbows that were a little blue on Jiaojiao's body, she didn't see any wounds, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In this ravine, if you are bitten by poisonous insects and snakes, nine times out of ten you cannot be rescued, but if you are just frightened, you can give birth for a while, as long as you don’t have nightmares and people can’t wake up, you can still be rescued.

Gu Ci asked the old doctor Gu to ask for a wooden basin and a cloth towel, and stood at the door waiting for the water. When he saw that Xiao had opened the door, he immediately went up to him: "Auntie, Jiaojiao..."

"It's all right." Xiao smiled at her with relief, "I didn't see any abnormalities like wounds on my body, but I didn't know where I hit my knees and elbows, and they were a little blue. I need Lao Gu to help me check it out. , to see if the bone is broken."

Gu Ci nodded. She was in a low mood at the moment, and she didn't like to talk too much. She went in with a basin to wipe the little girl's face.

"Eldest sister..." Xiao originally wanted to say that she would wipe it off, and asked Gu Ci to take A Bao home and change his clothes before coming back, so as not to catch a cold, but seeing Gu Ci's distraught look, the words came to his lips. Turning a corner, "Then you watch here first, I will take A Bao back to my house and change his clothes."

Gu Ci's expression was dull, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He looked at her, and then at A Bao who was standing at the door without saying a word. Trouble Aunt."

Xiao Shi smiled at her as a reply, and went to the door to hold A Bao's hand.

Ah Bao refused to let her hold her hand, staring at the bed with red and swollen eyes without blinking, pursing his lips, his usually cute little face looked very stubborn at the moment.

Xiao was stunned for a moment, then squatted down to look at him at the same level, and coaxed patiently, "Young girl is fine, don't be afraid, Bao, your clothes are soaked in sweat, and you are most likely to catch a cold in these March days." Be good, Ah Bao, go home with your aunt and change your clothes, so that your sister won't worry about catching a cold."

"I won't go, I want to guard Sister Jiaojiao." Since Jiaojiao's accident until now, he has been terrified in his heart. Hearing Xiao's Wu Nong's soft words to comfort him, his heart is sour and astringent, and tears flow again. At first I couldn't stop, "It's all me, I shouldn't agree, I promised to go with Sister Jiaojiao...to pick fruit..."

"Sister doesn't blame you." Hearing A Bao's trembling cry, Gu Ci's heart was pulled again, and he walked over to hold his younger brother in his arms, wiped his tears, and his own tears followed , "You silly boy, my sister blamed you for what you did, and my sister knew that Po was also frightened..."

"I'm so scared... so afraid of sister Jiaojiao..." Hearing Gu Ci's words, Ah Bao burst into tears. There is no child who doesn't like the adults around him to like him more. At that time, he also hoped that his sister would hug him. Watching him comfort him, "I...I..."

"Elder sister understands." He was crying out of breath, Gu Ci patted him on the back lightly, giving him comfort, "A Bao is already very brave and powerful, why is my sister willing to blame A Bao? Be good , stop crying, go home with aunt and change clothes..."

Gu Ci comforted her for a long time before Ah Bao stopped, and walked away with Xiao Shi, crying and trembling.

As soon as Mrs. Xiao left, Mrs. Gu rushed back from the field to cook lunch. Seeing Jiaojiao's situation, she was shocked, "Hey, what's going on?"

"Don't let this add to the chaos, the elder sister is very anxious." The old doctor Gu came over with the medicine, and pulled his wife aside, "Today, let's make two more people for lunch."

Mrs. Gu glared at him, seeing that Gu Ci was obviously not in the mood to talk, so she didn't bother herself, and hurried to cook.She is physically stronger than old doctor Gu, and she can take a few daughters-in-law to the fields to work hard for spring plowing and autumn harvest, and she can cook meals when she comes back.

"You feed this medicine to her first." Seeing that Mrs. Gu had left, old doctor Gu handed the medicine to Gu Ci, "Does she have any wounds on her body?"

Gu Ci took the medicine and shook his head, "No, you can touch her elbow and knee again, there are some bruises on these two places, check if there is any bone damage."

As she spoke, she put the medicine bowl on the side cabinet and lifted up the little girl's trouser legs.

Old Doctor Gu looked at the large bruise on his knee, and frowned, "Is this just today?"

"Yeah." Gu Ci nodded, frowned and thought for a while, then said: "When I passed by, she was rolling over there with her head in her arms. I don't know if she fell or bumped into it. But she always He is so powerful that he can stretch out his legs and kick me."

Old Doctor Gu sat by the window, stretched out two fingers to probe the bruise, and then touched the knee with his whole hand and pressed it hard, but the little girl still didn't respond at all.

"How did she faint at that time?"

"She didn't faint by herself, it was me. At that time, she seemed to be going crazy. I couldn't control her, so I slapped her on the back of the neck." Gu Ci looked at Old Doctor Gu's frowning expression. Looking at her face, her heart was even more uneasy, "Did her leg hurt to the bone?"

"I don't feel like a broken bone." Old Doctor Gu shook his head, withdrew his hand, pulled down the little girl's trouser legs, and touched the bruise on Jiaojiao's elbow, "I didn't hurt my hand, This bump doesn't seem to be a problem, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"I don't want to scare you either." Old Doctor Gu sighed, stared at Jiaojiao on the bed, and stretched out his hand to pinch her, "Look at her, she didn't react at all, she was probably shocked at the moment." Nightmare, completely cut off from the outside world."

Gu Ci's whole body jumped, and his voice was as soft as a mosquito's, "Then what should we do?"

"You pour this medicine down first." Old doctor Gu frowned, and he was a little helpless. The child was frightened, mostly talking nonsense, and the fever did not subside. Passed out, he couldn't wake up, and he didn't know what to do, so he couldn't help complaining to Gu Ci, "The ghost mountain in Xishan has always been very evil, and several strong men in the village said that they met there in the evening. The ghost hit the wall. You have nothing to do with them there, children are weak, and they are the easiest to recruit unclean things."

Gu Ci is also regretting it now. She also saw the little girl sitting on the ridge honestly, thinking that she had listened to her words, and hurriedly hoeed the wheat, and took the two of them back. Pay more attention, but something will happen if you don't want to.

Old doctor Gu finished complaining about Gu Ci, and then scolded Gu's second child, "Your father is too, you are a big girl, he doesn't divide so many fields, but he just allocated such a piece of land to you."

"Old Doctor Gu, what about that Jiaojiao...?" Gu Ci didn't have the energy to blame anyone now, she just wanted to know how her little girl was doing.

"Give me a few bowls of medicine today, and now I have to keep an eye on her in case she has a fever. Let your aunt Gu call out the soul at night. If this is still the case tomorrow, then I will ask your third brother to send you to the town have a look."

Gu Ci moved his lips, and finally nodded again. He picked up the medicine bowl, blew the medicine to cool down, tested the temperature, and found that it was not hot, so he helped Jiaojiao to feed the medicine.

The little girl didn't respond at all, as much as it was fed was poured out again, Gu Ci had no choice but to lay the little girl flat again, took a sip by himself, bent down, and delivered the medicine in mouth to mouth.

When she first picked up the little girl, she also fed the little girl medicine in the same way.

After pouring down the medicine, Gu Ci sat quietly by the bed, helped her remove the dead leaves from her hair one by one, and asked Aunt Bangen for a comb to help her comb her hair neatly.

The little girl didn't move at all, and she didn't have a fever, and her breathing became more and more stable. She lay there motionless, as if she was asleep.

"Eldest sister, my mother will help you watch, you go and eat something." As soon as Mrs. Gu finished the meal, all the people in the family who went out to work came back. When Doctor Gu heard that the little girl was frightened, he also He hurried over to take a look, but there was nothing he could do, so he comforted Gu Ci a few words, and invited her to eat.

"No, eat it, thank you aunt for me." Gu Ci forced a smile at him, went back and stroked Jiaojiao's eyebrows, and seemed to be talking to himself, "The person Jiaojiao relies on the most is me." , I'm leaving, she must be scared."

Little Doctor Gu has sharp ears, and when he heard her murmured words, he felt a little weird, and then remembered that she was willing to treat the little girl's face on January 30 without changing color, and that absurd idea was just a Flashing past, he glanced at Jiaojiao on the bed, and he shook his head, "You can't tire yourself out first, Abao wants you to watch."

"Little Doctor Gu, don't worry about me, I really don't have much appetite." Gu Ci turned his head and gave him a forced smile, "Go and eat."

Gu Ci insisted, Little Doctor Gu didn't say much, after working hard all morning, he was really hungry and panicked.

As soon as Dr. Gu left, Mrs. Xiao came over with A Bao on his back.

As soon as Ah Bao came over, he walked up to Gu Ci's side, and put the pancake in his hand to Gu Ci's mouth, "Sister, I brought you a pancake from my aunt."

"My sister doesn't want to eat, you can eat." Gu Ci turned his face to the side, looked at his new clothes, and felt very sorry for Xiao Shi, "Auntie just change his old clothes for him, why don't you give him new clothes?" Bao Chuan?"

"It's just a matter of clothes, what are you so concerned about?" Xiao Shi smiled at her indifferently, and then handed her a bowl of porridge from the food box, "Ah Bao doesn't eat much, so I gave it to her again." You guys brought some more pancakes here, if you can’t eat these dry pancakes, you can fill your stomach with a bowl of porridge.”

Gu Ci and Xiao Shi hadn't met a few times, and they were nodding acquaintances at most on weekdays, but he didn't expect this person to be so caring, and he couldn't help but be touched, "Auntie has a heart, I don't even know what to say."

"Everyone is from the same village. It's not easy for you. You should help each other. Don't worry about it. Jiao girl will be fine, so don't worry too much."

"Thank you, auntie."

"You're welcome, my little devil came back sweating all over, I have to go home first." Xiao Shi waved his hand, put the food box aside, and went straight out.

Gu Ci watched her go out, picked up the porridge and drank it, and then fed A Bao two sips.

In the middle, Aunt Six and Aunt Bangen also came to see, and after a few words of relief to Gu Ci, they left.Gu Ci and A Bao stayed close until dark, but the little girl didn't respond, nor did she have a fever.

Knowing that Jiaojiao was frightened, Mrs. Gu didn't go out to work in the afternoon. She killed a big rooster and poured the blood into a bowl. Chicken blood was sprinkled on the road leading to Gu Ci's thatched cottage.

This is to prepare for the soul call.

It is common for children in the village to be frightened. Gu’s father is a sang sacrificial song. To call the soul.

When everything was ready, Gu Ci went home with Jiaojiao in his arms, and Mrs. Gu carried the prepared dishes by his side and muttered to him.

After arriving at home, Gu Ci followed her instructions, pointing Jiaojiao's head towards Guizi Mountain, and when the moon rose, Gu Shi stood on the slope, arranged the delicious dishes, placed incense, and faced Guizi The direction of the mountain sang: "Immortals from all walks of life, the Jiaojiao girl in Gujia Village has lost her way, please show me the way, and send this dwarf in Huijia Village up the slope..."

After singing and shouting for a while, Mrs. Gu began to raise her voice: "Young girl, don't be playful, come home quickly."

Gu Ci was about to respond inside, "Jiaojiao is back."

After shouting three times in a row, the shouting of the soul is over.

When Gu Ci responded with the first sound, the little girl lying on the bed moved her fingers slightly.

In the dream, she was running in a deep mountain where the trees were so tall that they could block the sky, and there were people calling "Anping" in front of her. She didn't know who Anping was, but she felt that the voice was calling herself, but no matter how she ran, , always return to the original place.

Suddenly, she heard her sister's voice, and the mountain disappeared, followed by a dilapidated thatched cottage. Her sister was lying on the bed and couldn't move. Liu said she would sell her and let them all fend for themselves.

But the older sister refused, and gave the 100 taels of private money to Liu Shi. She watched from the side, subconsciously trying to stop her older sister, but it was too late, and the scene shifted to the next one.

"Sister, Mr. Lu promised me that on the day of our marriage, we will come to carry the bridal sedan chair twice, and we will marry him together. Don't worry about my sister, she is a flat wife. From now on, we will treat him as sisters..."

"Lin Jiaojiao, I won't be able to get married, but there's no need for you to pity me like this."

"Sister, you misunderstood, I don't feel sorry for you, you are my savior, I just don't want to be separated from you..."

"... Lin Jiaojiao, you should give up on this. I can't serve you together."

"Sister... If you don't want to, then I won't marry either."
