Chapter 33 The First Wheelchair
"Oh, there's a well behind our house. The water there is clear and sweet. Those bandits even built a thatched hut over the well."
Pei Shaoan explained softly.
"oh oh."
Qiao Qiqi nodded slightly. It seemed that this well should have been dug directly into the underground river.
However, with the technology of the ancients, how did they dig such a deep well?
Qiao Qiqi couldn't understand.
She stopped thinking about it because she couldn't figure it out. As long as she didn't have to worry about water for the time being, it was fine.
"Come on, shall we go back?"
Qiao Qiqi looked at the gap again and said to the two Pei brothers.
"good."
Qiao Qiqi returned to the kitchen, opened the water tank for marinating beef, took a look, and then sat in the corridor to continue reading medical books.
Not long after, An Lei came out of the cave with a wooden wheelchair.
Qiao Qiqi put the medical book in her arms and looked at the wheelchair that An Lei carried back.
It is exquisitely crafted and has many patterns carved on it. The style is surprisingly similar to that of modern wheelchairs.
It's just a difference in material.
The two brothers of the Pei family came forward curiously. When they heard that it was prepared for their eldest brother, they quickly prepared to carry Pei Shaoling on their backs.
"Wait, this wood is too hard. Make a cushion."
Qiao Qiqi quickly stopped him and said, "Put a cushion under your brother so he won't feel uncomfortable."
"A cushion? Is it a square cushion on this chair?"
Pei's mother thought for a moment and asked.
"Yes, that kind. It would be best if there was some padding for the back as well."
Qiao Qiqi nodded slightly and gestured to Pei's mother about the style of the cushion.
"Okay, leave it to me. When I was sorting out the bandits' belongings, I found a few pieces of cloth that were still usable."
Mother Pei quickly said, "I have nothing to do anyway, so leave it to me!"
Of course Qiao Qiqi agreed. Her needlework skills were definitely not as good as Pei's mother's, but of course she could do the simplest sewing without any problem.
Soon, Pei's mother placed the prepared cushion on the wooden wheelchair.
Pei Shaoan carefully placed Pei Shaoling on the wooden wheelchair and gently pushed him around the room.
"What a pity, there's a threshold to this room, otherwise I could have gone to the corridor to check."
Pei Shaoming glanced at the threshold of the door and said regretfully.
“This is easy!”
Without saying a word, An Lei went to the kitchen to get an axe and removed the threshold in just a few strokes.
Qiao Qiqi: ...
Oh my god, did you get my permission to remove the threshold of my room?
Forget it, forget it.
Anyway, I'm just staying here temporarily.
Pei Shaoming then happily asked his second brother to move aside and pushed Pei Shaoling to the corridor outside the room.
Everyone followed them out of the corridor and watched Pei Shaoming pushing Pei Shaoling happily like a child.
"That's great. With this movable chair, Ling'er doesn't have to lie on the bed all the time."
Pei's mother said with a sigh.
In order to allow Pei Shaoling to dine with everyone, An Lei also removed the threshold of the dining room.
By the evening, the rain had subsided a little.
Pei Shaoling, who was sitting at the dining table eating, asked about the situation outside today.
"The entire Taiping Town is in chaos now, with many houses collapsed and countless people dead and injured."
An Lei reported, "When I went there, the carpenter was preparing to move his family south."
"Why go south? Isn't there a flood in the south?"
Pei Shaoming asked doubtfully.
"Yes, but now everyone in town is saying that the Gan Kingdom in the north knows that our Dayong is experiencing a natural disaster and plans to raise an army to occupy our northern part."
An Lei told everyone the rumors he had heard.
"Ah? So, now we have floods in the south and war in the north?"
Pei Shaoming was dumbfounded.
He looked at Pei Shaoling, "Brother, what should we do next? Are you ready to stay here forever?"
"It's not safe here. We're just staying here temporarily. We'll have to go north in a few days."
Pei Shaoling thought for a moment and said.
"Ah, are we still going to that bitter cold place?"
Pei Shaoming looked puzzled, "But, we have become fugitives now?"
"No, there are hidden mines. We just fell behind."
Pei Shaoling turned his head to glance at An Lei, who was chewing on a beef bun, and said, "For the next period of time, the capital will not be peaceful. Everything will be settled after we reach the exile place."
“But, but…”
Pei Shaoming glanced at An Lei and didn't know what to say.
"I know what you're going to say. Don't worry about Dad's revenge. Sooner or later, we'll go back."
Pei Shaoling comforted him, "Right now, only that bitter cold place of exile is the safest. When the time comes, I will take you back to the capital, don't worry."
"Yes, my brother's leg injury hasn't healed yet. Let's wait until he's better. But I see this place is surrounded by mountains, so it's quite secluded. It shouldn't be unsafe, right?"
Pei Shaoan glanced outside the door and said.
"A group of bandits once lived here. People who are familiar with this place will definitely know about this place."
Qiao Qiqi interjected softly, "But, with the rain falling, the refugees probably won't think of coming here for a while."
"Well, what sister-in-law said makes sense."
Pei Shaoming nodded slightly.
From initially resisting Qiao Qiqi to now, he has come to admire her more and more.
Just as my mother said, my sister-in-law was sick before.
"My lady, this soup is good. You should have some too."
Pei Shaoling took out a clean bowl from the side, scooped a bowl of soup himself and placed it in front of Qiao Qiqi.
Qiao Qiqi was flattered and smiled sweetly at him.
After cleaning up the dishes, it was already the hour of Xu and it was dark.
Qiao Qiqi pushed Pei Shaoling back to her room.
As soon as she lay down, Qiao Qiqi felt a strong sense of sleepiness coming over her.
What she didn't know was that not long after she fell asleep, the person next to her quietly got up and left...
Two slender figures leaped a few times on the top of the mountain and then disappeared.
A valley dozens of miles away is filled with thick black fog all year round.
This place is called the Devil Canyon by the locals.
It’s just because there are often ghostly howling sounds coming from the canyon, which sound like humans and ghosts.
Moreover, anyone who enters the canyon will never return.
When Pei Shaoling appeared here in a black and silver robe and a silver ferocious mask, several figures immediately emerged from the valley.
"OP, you're back!"
"OP, you're back!"
Yes, this Devil Canyon is the lair of the famous killer organization in the world, Yanyu Tower!
At this moment, Pei Shaoling stood in front of everyone with An Lei and wearing the clothes of the owner of the building he had hidden outside the Evil Ghost Valley.
Pei Shaoling glanced at An Feng, who was in the lead, and the people behind him, nodded slightly, and led the way into a secret door in the valley.
An Feng's eyes flickered as he looked at his legs, his fists clenched tightly under his sleeves.
I didn't expect that he was really deceiving me before. Sure enough, there was nothing wrong with his legs!
