Chapter 1155: Climbing the ladder of fame and wealth (11)
After the brother and sister tidied up their home, they found a place to stay in the capital. Ao Shiyan remembered that Qi Liangjun was still in the beggars' den. Since they had already rescued him, they might as well save him to the end. Moreover, they had rented their own house now, which made it much more convenient and secretive to do anything. They were not afraid of hiding him and attracting anyone's attention.
So the brother and sister drove their broken carriage and brought Qi Liangjun back home.
Qi Liangjun looked like a gentle scholar, but he had a very strong vitality. Even though he was seriously injured, he did not have inflammation or fever. In addition, Ao Shichu treated him properly, so his wounds healed quickly. Therefore, he was conscious when Ao Shiyan and others carried him back home.
The rented house was very small, with only two empty rooms. Ao Shiyan naturally couldn't let his sister live with a strange man, so he lived in the same room with Qi Liangjun, and he was the one who took care of Qi Liangjun at night. Ao Shichu only needed to change his medicine every day.
After just a few days, Qi Liangjun was able to get out of bed and walk slowly. Ao Shiyan was very surprised at his body's recovery ability. After all, it took him a whole month to heal his arm that was injured by the robbers.
But now that he has settled down, he has to start worrying about supporting his family. He has rented a house and bought a lot of medicine for Qi Liangjun. Now their money has been almost used up, and if they don't go out to earn money, they will soon starve.
"Sister, I'm going out to find a job. You stay at home and don't open the door to anyone. OK?" Ao Shiyan patiently reminded Ao Shichu.
Ao Shichu nodded repeatedly: "I know, brother, if you want to find a job, you can go to places like study rooms and restaurants to have a look."
"I know. Either I copy books or I become an accountant." Ao Shiyan added with a smile. His sister had said it several times, so of course he remembered it. "Writing letters for people on the street is also OK, but you won't make much money from it. There may be many competitors. I will try my best to find a proper job. You don't have to worry."
"Okay, then I wish you all the best." Ao Shichu waved at him and sent him out of the house.
Qi Liangjun was lying in the room and heard everything the brother and sister said clearly. It was not that he intended to eavesdrop, but the house was too small and not soundproof, so he heard it accidentally.
He had been recuperating at the Ao family these days, and had come to understand the personalities of the brother and sister. The elder brother of the Ao family was a warm-hearted and kind-hearted man, with a pure heart, but his sister was a little hard to understand. She was warm-hearted, but she was cold and indifferent to him, and never paid any attention to him except for treating his injuries. She was hard-hearted, but she agreed to her brother's rescue of a stranger who had nothing to do with her, and was even willing to spend their precious silver...
Therefore, Qi Liangjun only thought that she was a contradictory and mysterious person. He looked at his chest and abdominal wounds wrapped tightly with bandages, and knew that ordinary people would not dare to use needle and thread to sew wounds on the body like sewing clothes.
Ao Shichu had no idea that the injured man at home was thinking so much. After she sent Ao Shiyan away, she began to think about what she could do. After all, she didn't really expect Ao Shiyan to go out and work alone to support the whole family, while she herself would do nothing and depend on him like a dodder - although Ao Shiyan might not mind, she did, and she didn't want to be a parasite.
The original owner's embroidery was too bad, and if she did it too well, it would arouse Ao Shiyan's suspicion; she could develop her medical skills, but she was new here, and there were no doctors with superb medical skills in the capital? Even if she wanted to be a female doctor, no one would believe in her medical skills. Even with the two real cases of Ao Shiyan and Qi Liangjun, others would only think that she was taking the credit for others. After all, except for the people in the caravan and the old and young beggars, no one had seen her treat external injuries.
She did want to write a storybook, but the original owner only learned common characters from Ao Shiyan and could barely write letters and read simple books, but it was impossible for her to suddenly become good enough to write a storybook. As a scholar, Ao Shiyan knew his sister's level of knowledge very well - as for medical skills, he had not paid attention to this before, and the original owner's mother did know medical skills, so it was reasonable for the original owner to surpass her mother, which was different from knowledge.
Ao Shichu sighed and suddenly felt that in ancient times, it was really difficult for a woman to make a living independently.
Now she had no choice but to resort to the old method and plant flowers and grass for others. If the flowers and grass were planted well, they could be sold at a good price. Moreover, planting flowers and grass had something in common with planting vegetables and crops. As long as she planned it well, Ao Shichu would think that she had talent in this area.
For Ao Shichu who had decided on his future career direction, the worries in his heart were no longer worth mentioning.
After finishing the housework and having lunch, it was time to change Qi Liangjun's dressing. Ao Shichu brought some cooled hot water and some medicine and went into Qi Liangjun's room.
Qi Liangjun was not asleep. When he saw her come in, he stood up with difficulty and said to her in a gentle voice, "Thank you, Miss Ao."
"You're welcome." Ao Shichu brought the hot water to the coffee table and without saying a word, he removed the bandage on his neck.
Qi Liangjun let her hands move on the vital part of his neck without frowning. After all, he was almost like a useless person these days. Ao Shichu changed his bandages several times a day, so he was used to it no matter how nervous he was.
At first, he felt awkward when Ao Shichu, as a young girl, treated his injuries and applied medicine to him. After all, there was not much difference in age between them. Who wouldn't feel embarrassed to have his body seen through by a young girl?
However, as a young girl, Ao Shichu did not change her expression when facing his body. Her face was indifferent, not to mention shyness, there was not even a trace of extra expression, as if Qi Liangjun's body in front of her was no different from pork on the chopping board. In this way, how could Qi Liangjun feel awkward? He felt that he was being too sentimental.
Ao Shichu changed the dressing very skillfully and quickly re-bandaged his neck wound. The cool medicine applied to his wound made him feel extremely comfortable.
Then there were two wounds on his chest and abdomen. Although Qi Liangjun was thin, he still had a faint outline of his abdominal muscles and his skin was firm and smooth. Even during these days of recuperation, he did not lose weight.
Ao Shichu thought that it was all her credit. She took such good care of him that he did not look disfigured even though he was seriously injured. If this man did not pay back the medical expenses in the future, she would chase him to the ends of the earth and never let him go.
Qi Liangjun felt a chill on his back, as if he was being stared at by something, which made him alert. However, he looked around, but there was nothing there? Maybe the chill was just because he was not wearing a shirt?
