Chapter 263 Awake
After sending the peasant woman away, Qin Zhongwan closed her eyes. The soreness in her legs reminded her of the journey over the mountains and ridges.
Here, Gu Siyi's people should have never imagined that they would take the risk and cross Anshan Mountain to reach the village at the foot of Linshan Mountain. Now, it is still safe for the time being.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhongwan opened her eyes. She lied to Gu Siyuan as her brother in order to attract attention and hide her identity.
A few strands of Qin Zhongwan's sweaty hair stuck to her cheeks. She reached out to brush them away while walking to the bed. The wooden bed was old and the red paint on it had been scratched. Fortunately, the peasant woman had cleaned it up. It's quite refreshing when you go up there.
Qin Zhongwan looked at Gu Siyuan's familiar face, his clear eyes filled with worry.
Qin Zhongwan's outer shirt was uncovered, and Qin Zhongwan's movements were gentle and extremely careful, but he still inevitably touched the wounds where flesh and blood were stuck together.
The dark blood on the cloth was shocking. Qin Zhongwan held her breath and concentrated. She had nothing on her at the moment, let alone medicine. The clean clothes were all given by the peasant woman just now.
Qin Zhongwan gritted her teeth and re-bandaged Gu Siyuan's broken wound. She tied it tightly, hoping to stop the bleeding a little, and changed Gu Siyuan's upper body coat. After doing all this, Qin Zhongwan In the evening, rice porridge was served aside.
The porridge was watery and only looked like a few grains of rice.
At present, various places in the south of the Yangtze River are affected by disasters. The food has not been harvested yet, but it has been washed away by the flood. There is not even a grain of rice left in an acre of land. Qin Zhongwan will not force anything if the peasant woman can give him this bowl of porridge. .
Pressing down Gu Siyuan's dry lips with a spoon, he poured half of the bowl of porridge water into it. Fortunately, although Gu Siyuan was unconscious, he still knew how to swallow, so Qin Zhongwan didn't make any more effort.
After feeding the whole bowl one after another, Qin Zhongwan's tired hands could hardly lift up.
She looked at the old but clean clothes on the side of the bed. She had been running around all night, and she didn't know how many layers of sweat she had shed. They were sticky and wet on her body, which made Qin Zhongwan look a little hesitant.
Not long after, the wooden door, which had been in disrepair for a long time, squeaked, and people in the courtyard called out, "Miss?"
"Sister-in-law, can you use some clean water? I want to wipe myself down?"
The peasant woman quickly put down the firewood in her hand and rubbed her hands, sawdust fell from it. "Yes, I will boil some hot water for you. You can go to the empty room next door and wipe yourself."
She just asked her man to take a look at the bracelet. The bracelet was made of pure gold!The men all said that their family had good intentions, so God sent a noble man.
The peasant woman looked at Qin Zhongwan as if she were looking at the God of Wealth. It was just some water, how could it be worth anything like gold?
After boiling a pot of hot water again, pouring it into a wooden bucket, and putting a cloth towel on it, the peasant woman kept saying that Qin Zhongwan could not move it, and helped him move into the house, and closed the door thoughtfully.
Qin Zhongwan looked at the steaming water and felt his body getting stickier.
...After wiping her body, Qin Zhongwan felt refreshed. She took the dirty water and changed clothes outside the yard, splashed the dirty water out, and simply rubbed the clothes with the clean water left by the peasant woman in the yard. Rub it twice and let it dry.
The peasant woman guessed that Qin Zhongwan was tired, so she went back to her room to rest early without trying to make excuses.
At night, Qin Zhongwan was lying on a slightly hard wooden bed. The cotton padding under his head had been used for an unknown period of time and was a little lumpy and hard. There was a faint scent of acacia between the bed pillows.
Her body was very tired, but Qin Zhongwan couldn't sleep. She stared blankly at the damp and moldy roof that had been soaked in the flood for several days. She didn't know how long it had been before she sighed.
"Squeak~"
The wooden door made a sound of opening and closing, and Qin Zhongwan came to Gu Siyuan's bed with slow steps. She saw Gu Siyuan's flushed face at a glance. She secretly thought that something was wrong, and she could not escape after all.
Gu Siyuan had a fever.
Qin Zhongwan hurriedly lifted up the bucket in the yard and took off the square towel hanging on the rope. It was used by the peasant woman to wipe her body. She wiped it clean and it came in handy now.
The repeated noises woke up the peasant woman. She rubbed her eyes and pushed her man, "Hey, Liu, is it the noise from the west? Why don't we go and take a look? Nothing will happen. ?”
The man was drowsy and turned over impatiently, as if he was still asleep when his mother-in-law pushed him awake.
He complained a few times, but he still put on his coat and got out of bed.
There was a knock on the wooden door of the west room. Qin Zhongwan dipped a square towel in cold water and wiped Gu Siyuan's cheek.
She heard a knock on the door, and her movements stopped for a moment, her eyes narrowed slightly, and the sharpness overflowed from the corners of her eyes.
"Girl, does your brother have a fever?"
Qin Zhongwan put down the scarf, his expression returned to normal and went to open the door.
When she opened the door, she rubbed the corners of her eyes, her eyes slightly moist, and she looked confused.
"Sister-in-law, my brother has a fever, what should I do?"
When the peasant woman heard Qin Zhongwan's cry, her heart softened and she quickly comforted her, "Don't cry yet. We still have some herbs at home that we country people use. As long as you don't mind, I'll give you some for your usual fever." It can also be cured.”
Herbal medicine, when Qin Zhongwan heard these two words, his mind moved. How could she dislike it now?That would be nice.
