Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Good Man
The middle-aged woman took the medicine and used it as Xi Yue said. As soon as she took the medicine, she felt much better, and the bleeding stopped magically.
"Girl, you're a miracle medicine. I've never seen such a miraculous medicine, and the bleeding stopped as soon as I applied it. The middle-aged woman said.
"Okay, let's go." After Xi Yue finished speaking, she walked forward.
Although the middle-aged woman's injury is not painful, her walking still has an impact, and she is limping, but it is much better than before.
Xiyue didn't help her, firstly, Xiyue didn't like to have physical contact with people, and secondly, let Xiyue help, the middle-aged woman couldn't bear such a big blessing.
Since the beginning of the world, Xihe has never helped a woman, not even Nuwa. In Xihe's memory, she didn't help even Di Jun, at most she supported each other. Xiyue has inherited everything from Xihe, and naturally there must be the arrogance of Xihe. Some things are destined in the dark, and the blessings are too great, and they will lose their lives and die. It's like ordinary immortals will be wiped out when they are worshiped by saints.
So, there was a very strange sight on the path. A beautiful out-of-this-world woman, followed by a lame embarrassed middle-aged woman. It's obviously a very mismatched combination, but it's just a combination together.
"Da-da-da-da." "Gollum, Gollum."
The sound of a carriage sounded not long after Xiyue and the others walked on the road.
Xiyue and the others were already walking on the edge of the road, the road was very wide, and they didn't deliberately give way.
As they passed by, the man in the carriage lifted the curtain and looked out, and it was a kind old lady with kind eyes and a noble dress. She saw Xiyue and the middle-aged woman behind her. The middle-aged woman was a little embarrassed, and her legs were limping. The old lady took a closer look and saw that her leg was injured and her trouser legs were covered in blood.
The old lady is a kind-hearted person, she looks a little unbearable, it's not easy to go out, just help if you can. She said to the servant who was driving the carriage outside, "Butler, stop. “
Hearing the old lady's command, the butler who was driving the carriage in front stopped the carriage, "Old lady, what's wrong?" ”
"It's fine."
"Girl, you are going to the county seat in front." The old lady asked through the car window.
Seeing that Xiyue didn't mean to answer, the middle-aged woman replied, "Yes, auntie, it's getting late, and we plan to go to the front to find a place to stay." ”
"Girl, your foot is injured, and it looks very serious. There is still a section of road in the county, why don't you get in the car, and I'll take you for a ride. The old lady said kindly.
"Auntie, how embarrassing is this, my injuries are not in the way, I have used medicine." The middle-aged woman hurriedly refused, she was born to be a person who did not like to trouble others. And she is like this now, her whole body is dirty and bloody, and it is so good to stain other people's carriages.
"I'm just an old woman in the car, don't worry. You two girls, one of whom is injured and not suitable for such a long journey, if you believe me, an old woman, come up. The old lady said kindly.
"Auntie..."
Xi Yue interrupted the middle-aged woman's words: "Go up, your injury is really not suitable for walking so much." ”
"This girl is right, come up." The old lady said.
When the middle-aged woman saw that Xiyue and the old lady were saying this, she didn't shirk it, "Auntie, then don't blame me for soiling your carriage." ”
"What is dirty or not, my old woman will be clean? Girl, you're welcome, it's fate that we met, if you are injured, I will take a hand, and it should be. The old lady said.
Xi Yue also got into the carriage, the carriage space is quite large, and the three of them are not crowded at all when they sit inside.
"Ouch, my old woman hasn't seen it before, it turns out that your girl looks so good, like a fairy in the sky." The old lady laughed, very kindly, and her voice was very kind, and it was very pleasant to listen to.
"It's over." Facing the old lady's praise, Xiyue was really a little embarrassed.
The middle-aged woman was originally a talkative person, and when she saw the kind old lady, she couldn't help but talk more, "I think so too, when I first met the girl, I thought I had seen a fairy." ”
"You two don't know each other, huh?" The old lady asked a little surprised.
"I don't know, but just now this girl saved my life and gave me medicine to treat my wounds." The middle-aged woman said.
"I see." The old lady wondered why this girl didn't hold her hand when she saw others, and she didn't know her feelings. It seems that this beautiful girl is just cold-faced, and her heart is good. As for the one who didn't help anything, the old lady didn't care too much, maybe she would be like this if she did. It's not a matter of looking down on middle-aged women, it's just a personal habit, and some people naturally don't like to contact strangers.
The middle-aged woman and the old lady chatted very speculatively, and Xiyue didn't participate much, only occasionally saying a word. During the chat, Xi Yue learned the name of the middle-aged woman, Li Su'e, and the old lady's husband's surname was Zhang.
When the sun was about to set, they finally arrived in the county seat. This county town is not very big, but it is very beautiful and has the taste of an ancient city.
Because Xiyue and Li Su'e had no place to stay, Mrs. Zhang invited them to live in her house temporarily. According to the old lady, there is a doctor in her house who can show Li Su'e, and she lives in the house now with old ladies, which is very convenient. Of course, this convenience is said to Xi Yue, although the old lady is charitable, she is also an ancient person, and she is afraid that Xi Yue will find it inconvenient to have a foreign man.
The old lady's home is an old mansion, a three-entry yard, not very big, but the layout is very elegant, and it can be seen that it is a cultured family.
As soon as she entered the door, the old lady said to the little maid who came to greet her: "Go and clean up the two guest rooms and come out, and then call the doctor and bring some gold medicine or something, this girl's leg is injured." “
"Yes, old lady." The little maid retreated.
"You go make a pot of tea, get some snacks, and bring them to the lobby. Then instruct the kitchen to cook a few more dishes, a few light, dishes that the injured person can eat. ”
"Yes, old lady." The other little maid was ordered to retreat.
Xi Yue didn't feel anything, she had long been used to it. Taoist Li Su'e was very restrained, it was the first time for her to come to such a big family, and she said a little nervously: "Old lady, don't be so troublesome. “
"No trouble, no trouble. There have been no guests here for a long time, and the old woman is happy. The old lady said with a smile. In fact, the old lady invited Xiyue and them, not only to sympathize with them and fall in love with them. More importantly, because of the loneliness of the old lady, people like to be lively at home when they are old.
"You don't have to be restrained, we are as our guests as the Lord does, and everything is as the old lady instructs." Xi Yue comforted.
"I love to hear this, Su'e, you just listen to Xiyue, feel free. My unscrupulous children and grandchildren are not with my wife, and they are usually deserted here. It's rare to have guests come, you also let me make a little lively, and let these idle girls have something to do. The old lady said with a smile.
"Then you're welcome." Li Su'e said.
"That's right." The old lady smiled and led Xiyue and the two to the main hall.
The old lady seemed to be genuinely happy, as if her own daughter and granddaughter had returned, and she would command this and that, as if she wanted to entertain them with everything she could take out of the house.
Li Su'e was very embarrassed and kept persuading the old lady not to be busy. Xiyue is nothing, she enjoys it very much, and her heart is warm. She hadn't experienced this feeling for hundreds of years. She remembered that he used to go back to his grandmother's or grandmother's house, and his grandmother and grandmother were like that.
After a while, the doctor came. The old lady told again and again to give Li Su'e the best medicine and not to leave sequelae. Fortunately, Xiyue's medicine is very good, and the treatment is timely, the doctor said that it is good to raise it for a few days, and it will not leave sequelae. The old lady was relieved, and Li Su'e herself breathed a sigh of relief. can be able-bodied, who wants to be disabled.
