Chapter 24 Saving People is Like Saving Fire



It can be said that Pei Ji has always done a good job in this regard.

In the original owner's memory, Pei Ji gave her the scholar subsidy issued by the court every month, except for the money he kept for his own studies, food and clothing.

Being able to study and support a family at the same time is much better than most scholars who have to rely on their parents or wives for support.

After dinner, it was already dark. Pei Ji sent the mother and her two children to the inn. "I have an exam tomorrow, and I still have some things to sort out tonight, so I'm going back to the academy..."

"Okay, the exam is important."

Although I don't know if what he said is true or he just doesn't want to spend the night in the same room with her.

After all, in the original owner's memory, except for the wedding night when Pei Ji drank, the two had never slept together in all these years.

On a daily basis, the couple can be said to be more "like guests" than respecting each other.

Of course, Su Li wanted it more than anything. She was not the original owner, and Pei Ji was just an unfamiliar person of the opposite sex to her. If they really had to sleep in the same bed, she would only feel more uncomfortable than him.

Pei Ji added, "I have an exam tomorrow, so I don't think I can send Zhao'er off..."

"It's okay, it's the same if I send it."

"good……"

After Pei Ji left, the mother and her two children also entered the guest room.

Pei Zhao spent the entire night talking about what Song Xianshan had told him about the Haohan Academy in the capital, his eyes filled with longing.

Su Li thought, if he had wings, he would probably fly away now.

No wonder this guy agreed so quickly, what a heartless guy.

Finally, he said he was sleepy, so Pei Zhao climbed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep, but Pei Chuer kept her eyes open, actually in a daze.

Su Li thought she was used to her bed: "Chu'er, why don't you sleep?"

Pei Chuer looked at her, then at the sleeping Pei Zhao, and asked with a somewhat melancholy tone: "Mother, is the capital city very far away?"

Su Li understood and patted her little head: "Are you reluctant to leave your brother?"

Pei Chuer nodded: "If my brother goes to the capital, will I not be able to see him?"

"Of course not. Once your father passes the provincial examination, we will be going to the capital soon. Then you will be able to see your brother."

Pei Chuer's eyes lit up: "Really? Then will we live in the capital?"

Su Li said affirmatively: "Yes!"

"That's great!" Pei Chu'er cheered excitedly, but then she remembered that Pei Zhao was still sleeping, so she quickly covered her mouth. Seeing that Pei Zhao was not woken up, she breathed a sigh of relief and made a face at Su Li.

Su Li couldn't help but laugh, pinched her nose, and whispered: "Sleep..."

A dreamless night.

The next day, the sky was clear.

After Su Li took the two children to wash up, she gave Pei Zhao the lotus jade pendant she bought yesterday to wear around his neck, and gave Pei Chuer another lotus jade pendant.

It turns out that my mother bought the jade pendants for them.

Pei Zhao and Pei Chuer liked it very much. They both lowered their heads and touched the jade pendant lovingly.

Su Li squatted down and looked directly at Pei Zhao, saying seriously, "Zhao'er, when you get to the capital, study hard. You are indeed very talented, but there are always people better than you. Remember, you can be confident, but don't be arrogant..."

She knew that Mr. Song would also teach these, but she couldn't help but want to say a few more words. Not only had she been with Pei Zhao and Pei Chuer for so many days, she also had the memories of the original owner, so naturally her feelings for Pei Zhao and his sister were not shallow.

In her heart, she already regarded Pei Zhao and Pei Chuer as her own children.

Pei Zhao seemed to understand, but he had a good memory and remembered what his mother said: "Mom, I remember it!"

Su Li stood up and said, "Okay, don't let your master wait for you, let's go!"

After saying that, he took his luggage and went out with the brother and sister.

"Madam! Madam, what's wrong with you?"

"Quick! Go find the master!"

Just as I went out, the door of the guest room opposite was opened with a bang, and a woman of about seventeen or eighteen years old ran out in a hurry and went downstairs in a hurry.

"Madam! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me, wuwuwu!"

In the wide-open guest room, an old woman in her fifties was leaning on the edge of the table with one hand and covering her neck with the other. Her chest was heaving violently, her eyes were rolled back, and she seemed to be in extreme pain.

The woman next to him, who was also about seventeen or eighteen years old, was at a loss, crying and asking, "Madam, Madam, what's wrong with you..."

On the ground was a spilled plate of pastries.

Could he have choked? That could be fatal.

Su Li ignored etiquette and ran in with the two children. She grabbed the old woman and asked, "Madam, are you choking?"

The old woman nodded desperately, her expression extremely painful, and she looked like she was about to suffocate.

After confirmation, Su Li immediately decided to use the Heimlich maneuver on her.

She stood behind the old woman, placed her right hand on the center of her abdomen, and placed her other hand on top of her right hand, pressing inward and upward quickly, repeating this eight or nine times.

The old woman finally spat out the half piece of cake stuck in her throat with a "puff".

She slumped in the chair, gasping for breath: "Ouch! I'm choking to death, huh... huh..."

"Madam..." The woman patted her back quickly to help her calm down.

The old woman looked at Su Li and said gratefully, "Thank you so much, young lady. If it weren't for you, I would have died."

Su Li smiled and said, "Madam, please don't blame me for trespassing into the guest room. I'll just make the decision on my own..."

Mrs. Gu waved her hand nonchalantly: "Saving people is like putting out a fire, why bother with these things."

"Since Madam is fine, I won't disturb you anymore..." As he said that, he took Pei Zhao's brother and sister and was about to leave. If he didn't leave now, he would have to make Mr. Song wait, which would be so rude.

"Wait, girl, you saved my life, I have to thank you very much..."
