26. Injuries
Jiang Wan was also anxious when she heard this, she couldn't care so much, and hurriedly said, "Yulian, take me over to have a look!" ”
"Sister Wan, come with me!" When Pei Yulian saw that Jiang Wan was willing to help, she immediately had a reassuring smile on her face that she had found her backbone, and hurriedly turned around and rushed to her house with her.
Jiang Gu and Xu Hui followed closely behind.
Jiang Wan hurriedly walked into the courtyard of Pei You's house, the courtyard was quiet, she turned her head and asked, "Yulian, which house is your mother in?" ”
Pei Yulian hurriedly pointed to one of the rooms and said, "Sister Wan, my mother is there!" ”
Jiang Wan immediately walked in quickly, and as soon as she walked into the house, she heard a small moan. groaning, she looked at it, and saw Xu Chunying lying on her side on the ground, cold sweat on her forehead, struggling to get up but unable to do anything, her whole body was trembling violently.
Jiang Wan hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and turned her head to greet Jiang Gu: "Xiao Er, come over and help!" ”
When Jiang Gu saw this posture, although his face was flustered, he listened to Jiang Wan's words very much, and the two worked together to help Xu Chunying up and put him on the bed.
Xu Chunying heard Jiang Wan's voice, her brows furrowed slightly, but she didn't care about it, and said eagerly: "You'er doesn't know what to do, please invite the doctor to come!" ”
Jiang Wan said: "Auntie, you rest first, I'll go and take a look!" She turned her head to look at Jiang Gu: "Xiao Er, go and invite Doctor Qian!" ”
Jiang Gu nodded and ran away.
Jiang Wan was just about to get up, but Xu Chunying pulled her sleeves: "Jiang Wan, where is your father?" ”
Jiang Wan lowered her head and saw that she had a slightly guarded look on her face, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed, but she explained: "My father and mother went to the county seat with Aunt Yingzi and Yingzi, and now there is only me in the family, Xiao Er and Huihui." She paused and explained seemingly casually, "But don't worry, auntie, I know how to be measured." ”
Xu Chunying remembered what she heard Jiang Wan say that night, was slightly relieved, and loosened Jiang Wan's sleeve: "Jiang Wan, I'm tired of you." ”
"Our two families are neighbors, and we should take care of each other." Jiang Wan said, "Auntie, you rest first, and wait for Dr. Qian to come and take a look at you." ”
For a while, she couldn't see where Xu Chunying was injured, and she could see that the other party couldn't get up just now, so she knew that the situation was not very good. When people are older, they can't stand falling, and people who are healthy will get worse after they fall, after all, the years are not forgiving, and all the functions of the body are poor.
"Huihui, you stay here first." Jiang Wan said methodically, "Yulian, you go to your brother's house with me." ”
Pei Yulian glanced at her mother, and seeing that she didn't object, she nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Accompanied by Pei Yulian, Jiang Wan came to Pei You's house.
Jiang Wan once went to Pei Yulian's house, the space was not small, but the furnishings in it were very simple. And Pei You here, which is bigger than Pei Yulian's, is divided into two parts, one is the study facing the door of the house, and the other side is the bedroom, and there is nothing in the middle to block it, after all, it is a farmer's house, and you can't pay attention to it if you want to.
Jiang Wan only glanced at the study outside, and then walked inside, the target was Pei You's bed, which was currently lying down. Other unmarried women may have scruples, but she doesn't care, after all, this is the village, not so much, and at the moment she is a little worried and anxious, and she doesn't care so much about those foreign things.
Pei You was sinking in the center of the bed, the plain white quilt was covering him, his eyes were closed, his forehead was sweating, his face was unnaturally red, but his lips were extremely pale and a little chapped.
She tried his forehead with the back of her hand, but it was burned, and she hurriedly retracted her hand to look at Pei Yulian: "Yulian, how long has your brother been like this?" ”
Pei Yulian's gaze fell on Pei You worriedly: "I saw that my brother hadn't gotten up early this morning, so I thought it was strange and came to see him, and that's it...... I called my brother for a while and he didn't wake up, I was scared, so I went to find my mother, my mother was also anxious when I heard it, I wanted to come and see but accidentally fell, I, I have little strength, I can't help my mother, so I want to find someone to help......" She said, after all, she couldn't help crying, sobbing and said, "Sister Wan, you said my mother and brother will be fine, right?" I'm so scared that they'll leave me like my father, and I only have my mother and brother......"
Jiang Wan hurriedly hugged Pei Yulian and comforted: "Yulian, don't be afraid, my sister is here, I won't let your mother and brother have anything to do." When Dr. Qian comes, treats them and gives them medicine, they will be fine. ”
Pei Yulian's sobbing was a little quieter, and she nodded again and again in Jiang Wan's arms.
Jiang Wan touched her head and said, "I'll go get some water first." ”
Pei Yulian let go of Jiang Wan and said in a crying voice: "I'll go!" I'm fast! ”
She turned and ran out as fast as she could.
Jiang Wan sighed slightly, looked back at Pei You, who was still unknown on the bed, and hummed softly: "You deserve to be a coward that night, right?" ”
After saying that, she couldn't help frowning and worrying. He was fine yesterday, but today he had a fever, this disease came urgently, and I don't know what caused it, Dr. Qian didn't know if it could be cured, she really didn't have much confidence in ancient medical skills.
Pei You didn't know what he dreamed of, his face was not stable, and his mouth suddenly trembled slightly, as if he was saying something.
Jiang Wan frowned, leaned closer, and heard his whisper: "Miss Jiang, I'...... I ......"
"I" for a long time, but I didn't say why.
Jiang Wan thought, Pei You doesn't just talk on weekdays, even if she is confused, she doesn't bother to listen to him anymore!
Just about to stand up straight, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Pei You actually open his eyes, and the high fever stained his eyes with a layer of hazy water vapor, looking pitiful.
"Miss Jiang......" When he saw Jiang Wan, he seemed to be a little happy, subconsciously raised his hand, stretched it halfway but quickly retracted it, and only looked at her stupidly.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Wan knew that he was not awake at all, otherwise how could he look at her directly like this?
She didn't speak, she got up and wanted to see if Pei Yulian had brought the water, but she heard Pei You suddenly call out eagerly: "Miss Jiang, don't go, I have something to say to you......" His voice was hoarse, and even the voice that screamed out was weak and weak.
Jiang Wan subconsciously turned around, but saw Pei You sit up from the bed without knowing where he got the strength, and eagerly stretched out his hand to chase her because she was leaving, but the incoordination of his hands and feet and the entanglement of the quilt caused his upper body to rush forward, and he actually fell down Jiang Wan, who had just turned around on the side of the bed, and the two of them fell into a ball.
As soon as Jiang Wan eased up, she felt that her body was very heavy, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Pei You only supporting the ground with one hand, and most of the weight of her body was pressed on her.
She blushed and said, "Go down!" ”
Pei You didn't seem to hear her annoyed and angry words, at the moment he was only obsessed with one thing, seeing that he had successfully stopped her, he slowly said dumbly: "Miss Jiang, you listen to me, ......" Although his throat was like being burned, every word hurt badly, but he finally stopped her, and he just took the time to speak, "On the night of the Lantern Festival, I went." I went into the woods to look for you, but I couldn't find you......"
Pei You said, there was a trace of grievance in his tone, and he raised the hand that was accidentally pressed on Jiang Wan's shoulder to show her: "Miss Jiang, you see, the injury in the palm of my hand was caused when I went to the forest to look for you that day." I'm sorry, I was a step late, I didn't find you, but I went...... I really went. His voice lowered abruptly, "You...... Don't use ...... anymore Look at me like that......"
Footsteps suddenly came from the door, followed by Pei Yulian's exclamation. As soon as Jiang Wan turned her head, she saw Pei Yulian holding a wooden basin in her hand, staring at the two people hugging on the ground in surprise with wide eyes, and her face quickly turned red.
Jiang Wan looked at it again, and after Pei You said those words, it seemed that he had completed his mission, and he leaned on her shoulder and fainted as soon as he lowered his head. Jiang Wan was suddenly ashamed and angry, this Pei You did it on purpose! A scholar who looks serious on weekdays, but when he is sick, he even learns to knock people down, and he almost buries his chest!
Seeing that Pei Yulian was still standing there at a loss, Jiang Wan hurriedly said: "Yulian, come and help me, your brother fainted again, he is too heavy for me to support him!" ”
Although she is a weak scholar, after all, she is a man, and she can't use her strength to push him away when such a big person presses on her.
Pei Yulian woke up like a dream, quickly put down the wooden basin, and came over to assist Jiang Wan to help Pei You back to the bed.
Jiang Wan stood beside the bed and glared at Pei You, who was still unconscious, in shame. If you take advantage of someone, you can go to sleep, and then when you wake up, you can pretend that you don't remember anything, right?
Pei Yulian looked at Jiang Wan's face, bit her lower lip and said, "Sister Wan, brother, he is not a disciple......
Jiang Wan looked at her in surprise.
Pei Yulian lowered her head, but still mustered up the courage to explain: "Sister Wan, brother, he is in a mess, what he just said and done...... You, don't care. ”
When Pei Yulian came back, she didn't hear what Pei You said to Jiang Wan, but she was afraid that her brother would say something that shouldn't be said when he was in a coma, which would make Jiang Wan angry, so she explained it for him.
Jiang Wan thought about what she heard just now, and said with a slight smile: "I don't care, don't worry, your brother didn't say anything important, I just didn't hear it." ”
Pei Yulian nodded happily and brought the wooden basin over, Jiang Wan naturally squeezed the cloth towel dry, and gently wiped away the sweat on Pei You's face.
She understood what he said just now. She always knew what he wanted to say to her, but he dragged it out himself, and she didn't want to give him a chance, so she never heard it. This time, I heard it clearly, but I didn't expect what he was going to say turned out to be this.
Hearing him say that he ran into the forest to find himself on the night of the Lantern Festival, Jiang Wan had been in a gloomy mood since that day, and at this moment, it was like seeing the sun in the clouds. What she has always been haunted about is his attitude of not saving him, but today, he told himself that he went, although he couldn't find her, in the end it was Jiang Gu and Xu Xiaohu who saved her, but he at least went! She had misunderstood him before!
Thinking back to the previous few times when he wanted to talk and stopped, she suddenly realized that what he had been trying to explain was this! is worthy of being a pedantic scholar, obviously he can explain it clearly the night she slapped him, but he still has to spend the night, and he has to spend so many nights, if he wasn't sick today, his mother fell and was injured, and her father and mother were not there, and she wouldn't come to check, he didn't have this opportunity to say, and I don't know if he could drag it out until the end of the year.
Jiang Wan is in a very good mood at the moment, although there are still some questions that he hasn't said clearly, but at least he understands the most critical things, and the other details will be talked about after he wakes up. She didn't suspect that he was lying, he wasn't that kind of person.
And for his desperate attempt to explain and resolve her misunderstanding of him, she also saw a deeper meaning that made her even happier - he cared about her. If he didn't care about her, how she thought of him, and how she misunderstood him, why would he bother to find opportunities to come over and explain it several times?
Thinking of this, Jiang Wan couldn't help but hook her lips slightly, and only said in her heart: Coward, don't you get better soon? The explanation just now is not enough, you will have to tell me again when you wake up.
Soon, Dr. Qian hurried over at the urging of Jiang Gu. Jiang Gu had gone to him many times, and when he saw Jiang Gu, he thought that Jiang Wan had an accident again, and he heard that someone from Mr. Pei's family next door was sick and fell, so he hurried over with the medicine box.
Dr. Qian went to see Xu Chunying first, but she insisted that he come to see her son first, so Dr. Qian had to come to Pei You's bed to check his pulse first.
After a while, seeing Dr. Qian get up, Jiang Wan, who had been silent, asked out loud, "Doctor Qian, how is Mr. Pei?" Does it matter? ”
"He's cold, and he's overthinking, so he looks so sick, I'll make a recipe to eat a few pairs, and I'll be fine in a few days." Dr. Qian said.
Jiang Wan thought to herself, the so-called overthinking means that he has been trying to explain to her clearly in the past few days, but he can't explain it clearly, so the whole person is depressed?
Many farmers don't have pen and paper, and Dr. Qian must bring the four treasures of the study when he goes out to see a doctor, but he heard that he went to Mr. Pei's house to see a doctor, so he didn't bring it, and directly used the paper and pen in Pei You's room to start writing prescriptions.
After only writing a few words, Dr. Qian was puzzled: "Hey, how can you be so smudged?" ”
Jiang Wan saw that Dr. Qian's paper was newly pulled out from a stack of papers next to her, and it seemed to be the stack she had bought for Pei You before, she couldn't help but feel a little weak, and she hurriedly came forward to find a good one, but when she flipped it over, she found that even she, the initiator, couldn't recognize which one was good and which one was bad, so she had to turn out an old piece of paper that Pei You had originally bought, and asked Dr. Qian to write a prescription.
Dr. Qian sighed as he wrote: "I didn't expect Mr. Pei's life to be so difficult...... Alas...... "I can't even afford a nice piece of paper."
Jiang Wan tilted her head slightly, trying to hold back her laughter. Let Dr. Qian misunderstand, sin, sin.
Dr. Qian left a prescription for Pei You, and went to see Xu Chunying next door. Jiang Wan asked Pei Yulian to stay and take good care of Pei You, and she followed.
Xu Chunying injured her calves and waist, although she was not too strict, she had to stay in bed for a long time to recuperate, and she had to apply boneless plasters every day.
Hearing that Pei You was fine, Xu Chunying's frowning brows eased slightly. She asked Pei Yulian to bring her dressing box, took out the silver money held in a red cloth, and paid for the consultation.
Dr. Qian had some medicinal materials at home, which happened to be enough to prepare two pairs of medicines for Pei You, so Jiang Wan asked Jiang Gu to work hard to run again, send Dr. Qian back, and take Pei You's medicine and Xu Chunying's bone-setting ointment back by the way. Jiang Gu worked hard to help Dr. Qian carry the medicine box and send Dr. Qian back to the next village.
Jiang Wan returned to the courtyard of Pei You's house, Xu Hui was guarding in front of Xu Chunying's bed, and Pei Yulian was guarding in front of Pei You's bed, wiping his sweat and cooling him down. She thought about it, said to the two little girls, and went back to her house to prepare a porridge for minced meat at noon.
Jiang Gu also came back with the medicine after a while, and when he saw Jiang Wan cooking lunch at home, he came over to help. Knowing that she made porridge at noon for the sake of those two patients, he was a little angry: "Sister, isn't it enough for us to help Mr. Pei's family find a doctor?" Why are you still so good to them, and you still have to serve them tea and water! ”
He didn't like the mother and son of the Pei family, although he didn't perfunctory when he went to help, but he felt uncomfortable.
Because your sister and I have great plans.
Jiang Wan said with a smile: "Yulian is still fine in his family, she is a little girl who is easy to panic when she encounters something, and the six gods have no owner, if we don't help her, what if they starve to death?" ”
Jiang Gu muttered in a low voice: "That has nothing to do with our family......"
Before he finished speaking, he was knocked on the top of his head by Jiang Wan, and he shouted dissatisfiedly: "Sister, why are you beating me!" ”
"What about your conscience?" Jiang Wan said seriously, "Actually, Mr. Pei and Aunt Chunying are good people, so don't be prejudiced against them all the time." They didn't know me in the past, maybe they had this opportunity, and in the future, they will know that although your sister and I have a bad reputation, I am also a good person? ”
Jiang Gu glared at Jiang Wan and exclaimed, "Sister, why do I think your attitude towards them is different from before!" ”
"No, it's because you haven't seen through it." Jiang Wan took care of herself to look at the porridge and ignored Jiang Gu. Her attitude will of course be subtly different. Now that she knows that Pei You cares about herself, she took advantage of the mother and son's injuries and illnesses during this time to brush up on her favorability, maybe she can attack the two of them at once? Well, she went to take care of Pei You and his mother, but she was kind-hearted, and the neighbors helped each other, and she did not break her promise to her mother, and then if Pei You took the initiative to approach her and show favor to her, it would not be considered her dishonesty.
Jiang Gu stood on the side for a while, and then retreated to the side without saying a word.
Jiang Wan smiled, let Jiang Gu look at the porridge, she took the medicine, asked Doctor Qian how to explain, and took it to Pei You's house to decoction.
While boiling porridge and decocting medicine, Jiang Wan ran on both sides, very busy. After a while, the porridge was cooked first, and she asked Jiang Gu to help serve it together, and took it to Pei You's house to eat together. Jiang Gu could barely figure out the matter of neighbors helping each other at this time, and he was no longer as straight as Fang Cai.
Pei Yulian had been obediently wiping the sweat on Pei You's forehead to help him cool down, and his face seemed to have improved at the moment. Jiang Wan estimated that Pei You wouldn't wake up for a while, so she beckoned Pei Yulian and Xu Hui to go to lunch first, and she herself brought a small bowl of minced porridge and sat in front of Xu Chunying's bed.
"Auntie, I just cooked some minced porridge, I'll feed you a little first." She carefully helped Xu Chunying up and let her lean on.
Xu Chunying said: "What about You'er? ”
"Mr. Pei is still asleep. I'm decocting the medicine now, and when the medicine is finished in a while, I'll ask Mr. Pei to get up and eat and drink the medicine. Jiang Wan said softly.
Xu Chunying was silent for a while and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Jiang Wan smiled: "We are all neighbors, we should be." Auntie, you taste this porridge, I just boiled it, I don't know what the heat is, you give a rating. ”
Xu Chunying's waist and leg were injured, and the handle was also a little laborious, and finally bothered Jiang Wan to feed her, she took a bite, chewed it slowly and swallowed it, and said with a smile: "It tastes very good." ”
Relying on Xu Chunying's invisibility, Jiang Wan hooked her lips and laughed slightly. She will definitely make Pei Youniang change her opinion of her little by little, think about it, she can cook a good meal, she can deal with things calmly, if she is happy, she can write a book to make money, she is soft-hearted, she is so gentle with her sister-in-law, she is not illiterate, a good daughter-in-law like her who can go up to the hall and go down to the kitchen, but it is difficult to find a lantern. Even if Pei You becomes an official in the future, she will not look shabby as his wife.
"My aunt praised it." Jiang Wan was proud in her heart, but she said modestly, and gently fed her one bite after another.
Xu Chunying finished eating a bowl of porridge in silence, and Jiang Wan said, "Auntie, I'll add another bowl to you?" ”
"No, I'm full." Xu Chunying said.
Jiang Wan put down the bowl and said with a smile: "That aunt, will I give you medicine now?" ”
Xu Chunying frowned slightly: "Let Yulian come, it's not good to trouble you again." ”
"Yulian is eating, there is no reason to let her come over halfway through the meal. And she's small, and she doesn't know how to start, so I'll do it. Jiang Wan said diligently.
Xu Chunying was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Then I'll bother you." ”
"It's not a hassle at all." Jiang Wan said with a smile. After getting along, she found that in fact, Pei You's mother was still very easy to talk to, and she was not as afraid of her as she was at the beginning.
Jiang Wan lifted the quilt, lifted Xu Chunying's clothes, and rubbed plasters for her on the wound, for fear of hurting Xu Chunying, her movements were very gentle, slowly rubbing with her fingertips, and peeking at Xu Chunying's expression from time to time, seeing that her expression was not uncomfortable, she was relieved.
After wiping the medicine, Xu Hui and Pei Yulian also came in after eating, Pei Yulian said, "Sister Wan, haven't you eaten yet?" Go eat it, the second brother is calling you. ”
Jiang Wan secretly glanced at Xu Chunying, and saw that her eyebrows moved slightly, and she was a little happy in her heart, but she said, "It's okay, I'll go and see if Mr. Pei's medicine is decoctioned first." ”
"Jiang Wan, you go and eat it first, let Yulian see the medicine." Xu Chunying said.
Jiang Wan smiled: "It doesn't take much effort to take a look at the medicine, aunt, you can rest first, there is me here." ”
Jiang Wan said, and walked out happily.
When he saw Jiang Gu outside, Jiang Gu said angrily: "Sister, you still don't come to eat the porridge when it's cold!" You can't be yourself if you're good to them! ”
"Am I not here?" Jiang Wan smiled, but when she said this, she still went to see Pei You's medicine first, and when she saw that there was still a lot of water, she went back to lunch first.
