When their eyes met, Qi Jing was stunned.
Then he quickly came to his senses and hurried to look at the little boy on the couch.
The little boy's injuries were mainly on his hands and back, so he was lying on his side, his two short arms trying hard to hold her hands, his little eyebrows tightly furrowed.
Tang Shiyue whispered, "He just fell asleep. The doctor said that the wound on his body is fine and will heal in half a month without leaving scars. But the wound on his hand is more serious... The doctor is going to get some medicine now."
Qi Jing's Adam's apple rolled, and he said softly, "Thank you."
He glanced at her quickly.
Her clothes and hair were burnt to pieces, and her hands, arms, and neck were covered with blisters. She had been sprinkled with powder, her ears were curled, and her body was poured with water. She was covered with dust, and even her face was covered with dirt. She looked very miserable. But her eyes were as clear as spring water, and when she looked at him, he felt as if his heart was soothed.
He quickly lowered his head and carefully checked the child's injuries. Tang Shiyue then said, "By the way, I think the fire in your house is very strange. The fire is too big, and it started from the wall. Your stove should not be on the west side, right?"
Qi Jing was stunned. His eyes suddenly turned cold and stern. After thinking for a while, he said, "I know."
Tang Shiyue paused for a moment, then asked casually, "What's your brother's name?"
...
...
He said, "Qi Yang."
Qiyang, Ayang, Yangyang. Is it really such a coincidence?
Qi Jing whispered, "Did you save Ayang?"
"Yes!" Tang Shiyue remembered, "The money for the medicine is three taels of silver, return it to me first."
Qi Jing didn't say much, he took out a small silver ingot of five taels from his purse and gave it to her directly, Tang Shiyue accepted it without any hesitation. At the same time, he said: "Actually, I have something else to trouble you with."
He asked, "What is it?"
Tang Shiyue waved her hand and said, "Let's talk about it when your brother gets better."
Qi Jing looked at her and suddenly frowned. He reached out to test the temperature of her forehead. The girl, who was talking to him with a smile just a moment ago, fell backwards along his hand, fell on the couch with a bang, and fainted.
Tang Shiyue also had a fever caused by burns. Fortunately, the village doctor had just sent his son to buy medicine, and he boiled it and gave her a bowl of it first.
Everyone had heard about this, and many of them came to see after dinner. When they saw Qi Jing coming back, they all said to him, "You have to thank Miss Yue very much this time. If it weren't for her, your brother wouldn't have been saved."
"That's right, you don't know how dangerous it was..."
This was the first time that Qi Jing had spoken to so many villagers since he came to Jubao Village.
When he came down the mountain, he saw the burned empty house and was almost scared to death. Fortunately, a villager nearby told him about it, so he rushed to the village doctor, but he didn't know the specific situation.
There was someone who was eloquent and described the situation to him in vivid detail. Even Qi Jing was terrified after hearing it.
Someone else also learned about what happened in the village doctor's family. When Qi Jing heard that she didn't know him, he lowered his eyes and thought that this little liar... But on second thought, it can't be said that they knew each other. At most, they were just a mutual acquaintance through names, and this was all because he had tyrannically robbed her of her Zizhi.
Most of the villagers are kind-hearted. When they heard that Tang Shiyue was also ill, someone volunteered to go and tell Mrs. Wang the news.
Mrs. Lin, who went to report the news, was also the daughter-in-law of the Tang family and was from the same clan. Mrs. Lin met Tang Guihua halfway on her way. Tang Guihua heard that there was a fire in the Qi family and went there to see it, but she didn't meet Qi Jing. When she saw Mrs. Lin, she only called her sister-in-law listlessly.
Madam Lin said, "It's just right. I'm going to tell your third sister-in-law the news."
She was a quick talker, and she quickly explained the matter. Tang Guihua rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to make this trip. I just need to tell my third sister-in-law on the way home."
Madam Lin didn't like Wang and didn't want to deal with her. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back first."
Tang Guihua agreed with a smile, and as soon as Mrs. Lin left, she turned around and ran home.
Of course she would not inform Wang about this. She felt resentful in her heart that Tang Shiyue had such a coincidence and Qi Jing owed her a favor for nothing. Fortunately, Qi Jing's brother was still with the village doctor. She could take the opportunity to curry favor with him and was not afraid that he would treat her differently.
She rushed home and went straight into the kitchen.
Li was cooking on the stove. Today, the Tang family was eating rabbit meat biluo and corn porridge. Tang Guihua opened the pot directly, put a few rabbit meat biluo in a small winnowing basket, and took a small jar to fill half a jar of porridge. Li asked softly, "Aunt?"
"Don't say anything!" Tang Guihua said, "Don't say I took it! Do you hear me?"
Li lowered her head and dared not say a word. Tang Guihua left triumphantly.
The Tang family has four sons and two daughters. The four sons and the eldest daughter all inherited the square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes of old man Tang. Only the youngest daughter, Tang Guihua, inherited the triangular eyes of Granny Sun. She is young and pretty, but when she glares, she reveals the same mean and fierce look as Granny Sun.
Tang Guihua had already trotted all the way to the village doctor's house.
She was also a little clever. Seeing a few villagers at the door, she called out as soon as she entered: "Yuer? Yaoer?"
Xiao Yao'er was originally helping the village doctor pick vegetables by the couch. When she saw her coming, she was so scared that she quickly slipped to the couch and stood far away. Tang Guihua frowned and glared at this ungrateful girl.
The villagers asked, "Guihua, are you delivering food to the two young ladies?"
Tang Guihua responded, and walked forward holding the winnowing basket, smiling, "I know you are sick, so I came to bring you food. Come here, Yaoer!"
Little Yaoer stepped back in fear, shaking her hands: "Yaoer, be obedient, I won't pinch you, I won't pinch you."
Tang Guihua's face froze and she simply ignored her. She glanced around the room and saw Tang Shiyue lying on the couch, looking disheveled and unconscious. Next to him was a child covered in wounds, who was clinging to her arm.
Qi Jing sat on the edge of the couch, his eyes fixed on it, without even looking at her.
Tang Guihua laughed hastily and said, "Young Master Qi, my name is Tang Guihua, and I am Tang Shiyue's aunt."
Qi Jing glanced at Tang Shiyue when he heard her name. Tang Guihua was delighted and acted very coquettishly, saying softly, "I'm here to bring them food. Since Yue'er isn't awake yet, you can have some first."
She brought the small winnowing basket to him. Qi Jing lowered his eyes to look at it. Tang Guihua said attentively: "This is rabbit meat biluo. Try it. Is it delicious?"
Qi Jing said in a deep voice: "I heard that someone stole a rabbit from someone else's trap and refused to return it. Is this the rabbit meat?"
Tang Guihua's sweet smile completely froze on her face.
The villagers nearby couldn't help but laugh.
No one looked down upon Tang Shiyin's behavior, and although Tang Guihua said that she was delivering food to the two young ladies, the relationship between the two sides was so tense, and Xiao Yaoer was so scared, who could not understand? Moreover, she came in without even looking at Tang Shiyue... She was just being attentive to Qi Jing. Who could not see her ulterior motive?
Someone laughed and said, "Guihua, you are so ungentlemanly. You are offering others a stolen food. Not to mention Mr. Qi, I won't eat it either."
Another person laughed and said, "You are dreaming. If you want to eat, no one will give it to you! Do you have the good looks of that young man?"
"It turns out that the young lady is thinking about love!" A woman laughed and said, "Mrs. Sun is shameless and took all this rabbit meat, but now she asks her own daughter to give it away. It's true that the daughter is grown up and can't be kept. If you keep her, you will end up with hatred!"
The villagers spoke in a vulgar manner to begin with, and no matter how thick-skinned Tang Guihua was, she could not resist. She was so angry that she turned around and left, while the villagers were still laughing.
