Chapter 4: The Benefactor Who Cured My Hoarseness
Liu Qingqing was the kind of person who had healed from her wounds and forgotten the pain. Xiao Lian applied a high-quality ointment to her, and soon her face had reduced its swelling, except for the scar that remained, but her face was quite smooth.
She came to the door of the west wing house, but saw that it was Iron General who had locked the door. She went forward and shook it, and indeed it was locked up.
"What's going on with that demon? Xiaolian followed behind him and understood his intention. It turned out he was looking for Young Master Biao."
He said, "Today, Young Master is accompanying the old lady to burn incense at the temple and is not at home. Also, Young Master does not like Madam getting close to Cousin, so it's best if Madam doesn't provoke Cousin."
Liu Qingqing waved her hand impatiently, thinking to herself that she would be with whoever she wanted to be with, and who could control her anyway. Moreover, her grandmother had said that her future husband was among these people, so she must pay attention to all kinds of men, or else she might miss him and it would be a waste of her transmigration.
Watching Xiaolian follow closely behind him, he had to think of a way to get her to leave, so she wouldn't keep chattering annoyingly in his ear.
Xiao Lian was a clever and agile maid, seeing Liu Qingqing's furrowed brow, she roughly guessed that she had disturbed her mood. So, with a smile: "Madam needs quiet, I won't accompany you by your side, you can stroll in the courtyard, there shouldn't be anyone disturbing you, but I want to tell Madam"
"Ma'am, don't go that way again, especially the garden outside the corner gate, it's a place where no one is allowed to go."
Liu Qingqing waved her hand, indicating that it was alright. "I just fell into the water and got stung by a bee over there, why would I go back? Am I crazy or something? Don't worry about it!"
Xiao Lian felt more at ease after hearing Liu Qingqing's words and left with a peace of mind.
Liu Qing walked forward with a brisk pace, and before she knew it, she had arrived near the ear house. She found that the big dog was not there, and she was overjoyed.
Proceeding with caution, I found that the beehive on the ear house had disappeared, and only a few bees were flying back and forth.
But it's already a defeated general and won't pose a threat to myself anymore. Ah, that angelic sister did a good deed, didn't she?
She walked up to the corner gate and peered out through the gap, seeing some green plants, but a wave of fragrance came over her, apparently it was a garden or a pasture. Looking at the foot of the wall, there was a poplar tree with a trunk as thick as a man's arms, towering high into the sky.
Liu Qingqiang took off his shoes and put them in his bosom, one foot on the wall, the other foot against the tree, step by step climbing up, finally sitting on top of the wall.
On the other side of the wall, there is a different world. Looking out, before my eyes is a green ocean, a world of flowers. Bees are buzzing, butterflies are dancing.
A narrow path leads to the distance, she hurriedly jumped down and walked along this small dirt road. She had long forgotten Xiaolian's warning, her mind full of curiosity and excitement about visiting the scenic spots.
After walking about 100 meters, Liu Qingqing saw four large willow trees planted in front of a small house, with two rattan chairs and a swing on either side.
She walked tiredly, thinking of resting her feet, sat on a swing on one side, pulled down a willow branch, picked a willow flute, and blew it with a sobbing sound, which was exactly Li Yugang's Drunken Concubine's Noble Wine.
Her mouth couldn't make a sound, her heart was itching unbearably, so she had no choice but to borrow this pipe flute.
"Love and hatred are in an instant."
The green willow was blowing on the top of the ridge, a big hand snatched away his willow flute. She looked up and was frightened, the person who came was even uglier than her, his face seemed to have been burned by fire, bumpy like the back of a toad.
Liu Qingqing casually plucked a willow leaf and continued to blow. The newcomer glanced at her, but didn't find it strange, as if they had known her for a long time, and also started playing the willow flute along with the sound of the leaves.
Liu Qingqing played it over and over again, and the man didn't get tired of it either, accompanying her in repeating the performance. Liu Qingqing rolled her eyes and asked him with gestures.
Aren't you annoyed?
He stopped playing and stared at her for a long time, then suddenly covered her mouth with his hand and lifted up his eyelids.
"Have you been poisoned?"
Liu Qingqing nodded and thought to herself, "I'm quite eloquent when I speak", as she leaned against him while eating.
If it weren't for Mrs. Liu feeding him dumb medicine, how could she be so obedient all the way? The man walked closer to Tianzhong, picked some leaves that looked like purslane, made a chewing motion, and Liu Qingqing understood, started chewing, only felt sour and astringent, wanted to spit it out, the man seemed to know her thoughts
"Chew for a while, and you'll be able to speak soon."
Liu Qingqing thought that anyway she was mute, so it didn't matter if she continued being mute.
He took over the grass leaves he handed over and swallowed them like eating rape.
It was about ten minutes later. The stomach had been aching and bloating nonstop, thinking it wasn't good, needed to go to the bathroom.
The man pointed ahead, handed her a piece of paper, and Liu Qingqing understood, rushing forward to a square enclosed by a fence. She realized it was a toilet and quickly entered, hugging her stomach as she felt relieved all the way, feeling very comfortable in her abdomen.
The smell was so bad that I covered my own nose. After thanking for half an hour, I wiped it clean and stood up, stumbling out of the fence, numbness in my legs from squatting for too long.
At this moment, she couldn't help but get close to the toilet, the smell still lingering, muttering: "Damn it!" She actually made a sound, Liu Qingqing was overjoyed, she could actually speak again.
It's been a long time! Unconsciously, her legs grew wings and she ran towards the man. Liu Qingqing raised her hands to the sky and shouted: "I can speak now?"
Excited, she forgot that her legs were numb and aching, and with a thud, she fell to the ground. The man sat in the rattan chair, stretched out his hand, and Liu Qingqing handed it over, and he used force to pull her into his arms.
Liu Qingqing knelt on one of his legs and asked immediately: "Big brother, are you a god? I've been mute for several days, but I can suddenly speak, thank you, big brother what's your surname and name, I'll have the chance to repay you."
"Get your leg off me first."
He said. Liu Qingqing took a look and saw that her own legs were kneeling on his left leg, which was not light in weight. She quickly sat down beside him, "Sorry, big brother, I'm too excited, didn't notice."
"My name is Liu Qingqing, what's yours?" Liu Qingqing glanced at that person.
"My name is Ren Zhong Hu." The man said.
Liu Qingqing was taken aback, "Big brother, your name is exactly the opposite of my husband's. He's called Hu Zhongren. But it doesn't matter, a name is just a label. You can call me Qingqing, and I'll call you Hu Ge. You won't mind, will you? You must be a divine doctor, right?"
Liu Qingqing felt that saying he was an immortal was definitely wrong, there were no immortals, those were just myths. But saying he was a divine doctor was certainly right.
"I'm just a pharmacist, the poison in you is a type of plant, and what I gave you to eat is also a plant that counteracts it, so I can cure you."
It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. You said you are the wife of Hu Zhongren from the opposite courtyard, that must be the young lady from the Liu family who just got married a few days ago, the daughter of Liu Fengchun?
"Green green heart says, who am I? I don't know either. I say I'm an alien, I've crossed over from somewhere else, and you guys still think I'm not normal?"
Think about it, said: "I am the wife of Hu Zhongren, that is, the family on the other side of your wall. But whether I am Liu Fengchun's daughter or not, I'm not quite sure. It seems like I've lost my memory and can't remember anything from before."
"Ren Zhong Hu said: 'So you've lost your memory, no wonder...' "
Liu Qingqing said: "No wonder how? Is my family very famous? Is the Hu family very rich? Are they well-known in this area?"
Ren Zhong Hu stared in surprise: "Don't you know that your husband and your family are well-known wealthy merchants?"
Liu Qingqing smiled and said: "I don't even remember, no wonder their family's tableware is all silver and jade, they're so rich."
"Hu's family is very famous all over the country. They run silk, medicinal materials and restaurants, and are the only rich merchants who can rival your family."
Liu Qingqing said, "Our Liu family is so wealthy, I don't know either."
Listening to him talk endlessly, Liu Qingqing felt like she was listening to Tian Lianyuan's commentary on the book, and finally had a certain understanding of her own family and the Hu family.
"In summary, it can be said: 'East willow, north mountain, Hu in the southwest.'"
Liu Qingqing furrowed her brow: "Dongliu is my family, Huxinan is the Hu family, then who is Beiyue? Ah, anyway, it has nothing to do with me. I'm more worried about my husband, that Hu Zhongren is a scoundrel, I don't want my husband to be an iron club Li."
"But you also have scars on your face, and they look really bad."
Hu Zhongren burst out laughing and said bluntly, "I didn't want to end up like this either!"
Liu Qingqing covered her face and smiled secretly, but in Ren Zhong's eyes, she seemed to be crying.
He hastily comforted her: "Wait until I've researched a good medicine, and I'll definitely help you get rid of this scar."
Liu Qingqing withdrew her hand, smiled and said: "Forget it, you'd better cure the toad warts on your face first. She gently patted the dirt off her body.
"No need to thank me, if you ever need help from your brother in the future, I'll definitely lend a hand. Now, I have to go back, or Xiaolian will worry about me. By the way, Xiaolian is my maid."
Liu Qingqing took out the strength of a 100-meter dash and sprinted to the edge of the earthen wall, leaping up and climbing over it. This side could add momentum to her run, and she really charged forward. Ren Zhonghu was still behind, not reacting in time, when Liu Qingqing was already waving goodbye at him from atop the wall, then vanished with a flourish.
Ren Zhonghu walked to the foot of the wall, by the corner gate, and saw that Liu Qingqing had already entered the east wing. He opened the door and also headed towards the east wing.
