I was in the midst of chaos and felt dazed, with the universe seeming to be a vast expanse of white.
It seems like an old friend is ringing the bell, and the sound leads people back to their hometown.
"Master, wow..." Xu Jiang, with disheveled hair and bare feet, walked towards the man sitting under the eaves, wiping tears, "Master, wow..."
The man looked up when he heard the sound and saw her coming back covered in mud and tattered clothes. He quickly put down the engraving in his hand, took two steps forward and picked her up.
"Where did you fall?"
Xu Jiang hugged his neck, wiped her tears and snot on his shoulders, and cried so hard that she gasped and couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"Fourth, Fourth Brother pushed me..."
Xu Twelve, who had followed Xu Jiang back, interrupted her immediately after hearing this, "Ah Jiang was naughty. I didn't keep an eye on her and she rolled down the cliff."
"No...A Jiang, I'm very, very good." Xu Jiang's tears made her little face look like a cat, and she looked very pitiful.
Xu Yuan glanced at Xu Twelve, and Xu Twelve lowered his head.
Xu Yuan held her and sat down, then wiped her face with his sleeve and asked softly, "Is there anything hurt?"
Xu Jiang covered her head with her hands and said, "It hurts here." Then she kicked her calf and said, "It hurts here too."
Xu Yuan took her hand away and saw a plum-sized lump. He pressed it with his palm and rubbed it, coaxing her as he rubbed it, "Don't cry, rub it and the lump will go away."
His hands were so strong that Xu Jiang's face wrinkled up, but she stopped crying.
"Blow it again."
"Okay, blow on her again." Xu Yuan blew on her forehead and then on her knees. "Blow on her, and our A Jiang will feel less pain."
After blowing on it, the pain went away.
A warm breeze blew onto the swollen bump on Xu Jiang's forehead. Xu Jiang's tightly furrowed brows relaxed and he opened his eyes blankly.
She stared blankly at the woman in front of her who was blowing the drum for her. It took her a long time to come back to her senses. "Auntie?"
Madam Lou wiped the tears from her eyes and coaxed her softly, "Blow on it, and it won't hurt."
The tears that Xu Jiang had just wiped away suddenly rolled down again.
Mrs. Lou panicked and said at a loss: "What, what happened? Did I hurt you?"
"No." Xu Jiang held her hand, feeling the warmth. She twitched the corners of her mouth and soothed, "It doesn't hurt. I just fell asleep for a moment."
This laugh is worse than crying.
Mrs. Lou felt upset and her face was tense, which was exactly the same as Lou Yunchun's.
Xu Jiang actually smiled this time, "It really doesn't hurt."
"But I just heard you screaming in pain in your dream."
She was just acting coquettishly in the dream, Xu Jiang smiled embarrassedly.
Mrs. Lou touched her forehead and said, "It's good that you don't have a fever anymore."
Her hands were so soft that Xu Jiang narrowed her eyes.
Liu Mei came in with a bowl of medicine. When she saw Xu Jiang was awake, her expression was relieved. "My lady is finally awake. She has been feverish all night and has been delirious. She has been talking nonsense all night. Come, drink the medicine quickly."
Madam Lou stood up and reached out to take the medicine: "Give it to me."
Liu Mei handed her the medicine, then bent down to help Xu Jiang up.
Xu Jiang was still limp, but her mind was much clearer and her eyes had regained their spirit. Seeing that Madam Lou was about to feed her the medicine herself, she quickly reached out to take it.
"I'll do it myself."
"good."
Xu Jiang drank the medicine in one breath, and it took him a long time to suppress the bitter-sweet aftertaste in his mouth.
Madam Lou wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said to Liu Mei, "I brought some candied green plums. Give some to Ah Jiang to clean his mouth."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Liu Mei responded, put away the bowl and went out.
Xu Jiang held her hand and said, "I'm sorry to have worried you."
Mrs. Lou was a solitary person who didn't like to go out, and now she had to trouble herself to come visit her in person, which made her feel very sorry.
Madam Lou smoothed Xu Jiang's messy hair and said softly, "As you should."
Family members should take care of each other, but Xu Jiang is addicted to being alone and is not used to it.
Xu Jiang touched her hair embarrassedly, feeling that she did not look very good at the moment, so she wanted to get up and comb it.
Mrs. Lou took the wooden comb from the dressing table and said, "You can't see it, be careful not to touch the wound. I will comb it for you."
Xu Jiang saw that her expression seemed to be filled with anticipation, so she agreed, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Auntie."
Madam Lou paused and touched the top of her head, "You don't have to be polite to me from now on."
Xu Jiang's heart softened and he nodded, "Yeah."
Liu Mei came in carrying plums and saw Madam Lou dressing Xu Jiang. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Madam, you finally got what you wanted."
"What wish?"
"A daughter's wish." Liu Mei picked up a green plum and fed it to Xu Jiang's mouth. "Madam has always wanted a daughter, but unfortunately it was not meant to be. Now it can be considered as making up for the regret."
The green plums were crisp and sweet, and Xu Jiang squinted her eyes and smiled.
After combing her hair, Liu Mei found the clothes that Madam Lou had made for Xu Jiang and helped her change clothes.
"It fits." Liu Mei spun Xu Jiang around. "The color is suitable, it flatters her skin tone." After spinning her, she pinched her waist. "It would be better if she were a little fatter."
Xu Jiang was pinched so hard that she doubled over. She laughed and said, "If you can't stay idle, you can't get fat."
Yin Yin just came in, and Liu Mei took the opportunity to tap her forehead, "Did you hear that, little lazy bum?"
The lazy boy looked confused, "What?"
Xu Jiang pinched her soft face and said, "It's more pleasing if you're a little fatter."
The room was narrow and stuffy, so Xu Jiang led a few people into the bookstore.
Liang Mo was binding books. When he saw Xu Jiang come out, he said a few words of concern and then moved the work outside.
Xu Jiang invited Madam Lou to sit down, then she found an unused deer cup and brewed a cup of Kuizhou Xiangyu for her.
