Chapter 3396 Extra Zhou Yin 11
He held his stomach and found a quiet alley and walked into it, feeling that he was about to die.
He didn't want it to be too scary, so he walked a little further inside. Finally, when he couldn't walk anymore, he sat down against the wall.
Zhou Yin covered his aching stomach and looked up at the clouds in the sky. It was really strange. They were all clouds, so why were they always changing?
But the clouds in Shangzhou and those in Qili Village looked similar, even the sun was the same...
Zhou Yin was thinking randomly as his body slowly fell down. After a while, he collapsed to the ground with his eyes slightly closed.
He was conscious and wanted to sit up, but his hands were resting weakly on the ground and he couldn't use any strength.
Xia Xin opened the door and came out, and as soon as she turned the corner, she startled the person lying on the ground.
She took two steps back and saw the person half leaning against the wall motionless, so she approached cautiously, "Hey, who are you?"
The person on the ground didn't answer her.
Xia Xin swallowed her saliva and took two steps forward, "Hey, the ground is very cold. You'll get sick if you lie down..."
She squatted down and poked him lightly with her finger, then quickly withdrew her hand. Seeing that he still had his eyes closed, she was sure that he was unconscious.
She hesitated for a moment, then turned around and ran back home, "Dad, someone fell outside."
Before Xia Yan could say anything, his mother said, "Are they beggars? Just give them something and send them away. Xin Niang, there are a lot of refugees coming in from other places right now, so don't go out, okay?"
"He's not a beggar. His clothes are clean and have no patches. Dad, go and have a look."
Xia Yan put down the book and said, "I'll go take a look."
When he saw the man, Xia Yan understood why his daughter said he was not a beggar. Although his clothes were made of linen, they were fine linen and relatively clean. His face was clean, and his fingernails were clean.
Although the man was unconscious, his features were handsome and he did not look like a beggar, nor even a refugee.
Xia Yan thought about it and decided to carry the person into the house.
Mother Xia was shocked when she saw this and quickly came over to ask, "Why did you bring someone back?"
"He must be sick," Xia Yan said. "He doesn't look like a refugee. He must be someone's child who went out and fell ill. Let's wake him up first and get a doctor."
When Xia's mother saw him carrying the person back to the room, she had no choice but to go out and call a doctor.
When Zhou Yin opened his eyes, he saw a little girl feeding him water with a spoon. When she saw him open his eyes, her little round face showed panic. She immediately stood up, put down the bowl and ran out.
Zhou Yin ran away before he could say a word. He could only lie there with his mouth half open and a confused look on his face.
It took him a while to remember that he seemed to have fallen ill in the alley, so he was not dead and was rescued?
Zhou Yin was still very happy. He supported himself with his arms and stood up, wanting to go out and see the person who saved him.
As soon as I got up, a middle-aged scholar came in, followed by the little girl who had just run away.
"My dear, please lie down," the middle-aged scholar held Zhou Yin down and helped him lean back, saying with a smile, "My dear, you fainted outside my house, so I took you home without asking you any questions. I apologize for any impoliteness."
Zhou Yin hurriedly said, "Sir, it was you who saved me. I'm so grateful to you, how dare I blame you?"
He took the initiative to say: "My surname is Zhou, my given name is Yin, and I am from Luojiang County, Mianzhou. I came here to escape the disaster."
Xia Yan was surprised, "Are you a refugee?"
It doesn't look like it.
"Yes," Zhou Yin told the story of how he sold himself and his contract was returned because of his illness. So after all the twists and turns, he was still a refugee.
Xia Yan smiled and said, "This can be considered a blessing in disguise. Since we saved you, it means we are destined to be together. You can recuperate here first and we can talk about it after you recover."
Zhou Yin was penniless and had nowhere to go, so he agreed.
I don’t know if the medicine prescribed before was not suitable for the disease, or if the disease has finally come to an end, but the disease that had never been cured before has gradually improved after I moved into the Xia family.
Zhou Yin was once worried that his illness was an epidemic and wanted Xia Yan to send him to a temple.
Xia Yan said, "You are suffering from acclimatization, not an epidemic."
He smiled and said, "It's easy for people who are traveling far away for the first time to get sick like this, so don't worry too much."
Zhou Yin stayed in the Xia family, but it was Xia Yan who brought him medicine and food. It was not until he was able to get out of bed and walk out of the room that he saw Xia Xin sitting under a tree doing embroidery.
Xia Xin was only thirteen years old, two years younger than him. When she saw him, her round eyes stared at him curiously.
Zhou Yin retracted his feet somewhat uncomfortably, but did not turn around and go back to the house. Instead, he looked at her with the same curiosity. The two of them just looked at each other curiously.
When Xia's mother came out of the kitchen and saw this, she couldn't help but cough lightly.
The two of them came back to their senses instantly. Xia Xin lowered her head, and Zhou Yin hurriedly saluted Xia's mother, "Mrs. Xia."
Mother Xia smiled and said, "Can Zhou Xiaolang get out of bed now?"
"Yes, I'm much better," Zhou Yin hurried over, "If there's anything I can do to help, I'll do it."
"No, no," Mother Xia said with a smile, "You've just gotten better, take a good rest."
She called out to her daughter, who was still sitting blankly under the tree, and said angrily, "Xin Niang, why don't you come over and light the fire?"
"Oh," Xia Xin finally reacted and hurriedly put down the embroidery and needlework in her hands and ran over. When she passed by Zhou Yin, she raised her eyes and glanced at him secretly, then went into the kitchen.
Although Zhou Yin has been living in Xia's house these days, they rarely see each other. Things like bringing medicine and meals are done by Xia's father.
Zhou Yin watched her run into the kitchen, scratched his head, and finally tidied up the pile of firewood in the corner.
Xia's father was a scholar, not a hard worker, and Xia's mother was not strong enough, so the firewood they bought was piled up in the corner.
Zhou Yin tidied up the firewood pile and swept the yard before Xia Yan returned from the academy.
He was a teacher in a school not far from his home, so he could go home for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
As soon as he entered the door, he realized something was wrong. The house... seemed much more spacious.
Mother Xia, who had been keeping an eye on Zhou Yin, came out with a smile and said to him, "You're back. Lunch is ready. Come wash your hands and eat."
After pulling the person into the kitchen, Xia's mother whispered, "Zhou Xiaolang cleaned it up. You know what, he's quite diligent."
Xia Yan: "He's still sick, how can we let him work?"
"I didn't give in. I tried to persuade him, but it didn't work. He said he wanted to stretch his muscles, and I couldn't resist him."
Xia Yan thought for a moment and said, "Since he can already get out of bed, let's have lunch together."
"This..." Mother Xia looked at her daughter.
Xia Yan said indifferently, "We are here, there is no need to be so shy."
Isn’t it because they only have one daughter and the two of them happen to be of similar age, which is just a coincidence?
However, she has never been against Xia Yan's decisions.
Zhou Yin sat at the dining table and formally met with the Xia family.
After dinner, Xia Yan went to talk to Zhou Yin, "What are your plans for the future?"
