Chao Huan was stunned. She pretended to be surprised and asked for help, but the depths of her eyes were as cold as unmelted ice. If it was the previous Qie Yuan, he would have noticed something was wrong quickly, but now this
Qi Yuan felt nothing.
He heard the girl's concern and heard the girl's words about memories he didn't have. In this chaotic situation, he gradually developed a dependence on the girl in his heart.
But maybe it was his nature. Even though he relied on the girl, he didn't show it on his face and pretended to be calm.
"You said my name is Qi Yuan? I was seriously injured and was rescued by you? " Qi Yuan was a little confused. He was not unfamiliar with this name. Instead, he felt that he was called this name, but he was seriously injured...
·For some reason, he always felt uneasy.
His face was still a little pale because of the injuries on his body, and he seemed to be in some kind of panic. At this moment, a pair of hands held his hand, which warmed his coldness and smoothed it out a little.
His panic.
Ji Yuan raised his head and saw those eyes full of tenderness and concern, and the soft pink lips that opened and closed gently.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Don't worry, no one here will hurt you."
The words were like a feather, lightly brushing over his heart. Qi Yuan gradually let go of his uneasiness. He looked at his folded hands and felt a little shy.
Chao Huan saw that he had calmed down, smiled slightly, and calmly took out her hand. She turned around and saw a few little heads, a little helpless, "You guys, haven't you had breakfast? Are you still here to join in the fun?"
It was originally breakfast time, but in the fun, they forgot the breakfast on the table, and several people ran back quickly. Fortunately, it was not very cold, and it was still warm.
The children were talking to each other while eating. They didn't come from a big house, so naturally they didn't know about eating without talking or sleeping. The dinner table was very lively, and people were enjoying themselves and drinking.
After taking the medicine, I came out with the medicine bowl and saw the five children looking lively.
She smiled, and sat down at the dining table to eat despite a few shouts. After finishing the meal, the children did not need to shout, and the children cleaned up by themselves. One carried the bowl, another wiped the table, one washed the dishes, and the other put them back in their place.
Each department... divided their work and finished it quickly.
Chao Huan brought a meal to Qi Yuan. Qi Yuan, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was still not able to eat greasy food. Chao Huan brought a bowl of clear porridge and a plate of pickles. Qi Yuan was a child after all, and soon
I ate everything.
After dinner, Chao Huan sat beside Qie Yuan's bed and asked him some questions.
"In other words, you can't remember anything now? You don't even know where you live?"
Qi Yuan nodded. He looked at Chao Huan cautiously, worried that the other party would abandon him.
Chao Huan smiled slightly and comforted him: "Don't worry, since you can't remember, just stay here for now. You will remember one day."
"My name is Zhu Shu. You can just call me Sister Shu. The other children also call me the same name. Well, they are playing outside. Your injury is not healed yet, so you should rest first."
Qi Yuan nodded without objection, and the two of them talked some more. Chao Huan told him to rest first, and he took the empty bowl and prepared to leave.
When she stood up, something pulled her. She turned her head and saw that Qi Yuan was holding the corner of her clothes and blinking.
"Thank you, Sister Shu." He was a little shy. After saying that, he pulled the quilt up to cover his face below the eyes, leaving only a pair of pitiful eyes.
Chao Huan smiled and said, "It's okay, just have a good rest." Then he left.
After she left, Qi Yuan huddled under the quilt. This seemed to be the room of the girl named Zhu Shu. There was a faint scent of medicine on the quilt. For the first time, Qi Yuan knew that medicine was not all bitter.
the taste of.
On the other side, Chao Huan walked out of the door and glanced at the children playing in the yard, then turned and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. After she came out, Erya came over.
"Oh, Sister Shu, why are your clothes so wet? Did you just play with water in the kitchen?"
Chao Huan touched Er Ya's head and said, "Yes, I accidentally poured water on myself just now."
Erya didn't pay too much attention, raised her head and said, "Sister, please be careful next time. It will be bad if you get sick."
Chao Huan just smiled and said nothing.
The busy morning was over. In the afternoon, Chao Huan and a few children went out to pick medicinal herbs again. They had almost picked all the medicinal herbs nearby. If they wanted to pick more, they had to go a little further.
It was approaching evening when Chao Huan came back. The children who stayed behind had already cooked dinner, which was something they were already very skilled at. After dinner, Chao Huan went to see Qi Yuan again, and he had already woken up.
, sitting on the bed and reading a medical book.
The book belongs to Chao Huan. She has several introductory medical books in her room. She usually uses them to teach a few children how to read and so on. She probably saw him sitting there and was bored, so she gave them to him to read.
Qie Yuan looked at it very seriously, unlike the others who were illiterate. When he saw Chao Huan come in, he put down the book in his hand and showed a shallow smile.
"Sister Shu, you are back."
"Well, are you reading? Are you literate?" Chao Huan asked.
Qie Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still didn't hide anything and nodded.
Chao Huan didn't notice anything was wrong and said happily: "That's great. None of them can read very well. I can teach them when I have time. By the way, if you are free, can you teach them how to read?"
If you just teach reading, you can do it in bed, and it doesn’t require much experience. It’s a very suitable job.
And for Qie Yuan, it is also to find some value for himself. He has observed that the living conditions of these people are not very good, and they live in relatively poor food and drink. It is somewhat beyond their means to support him alone.
Qi Yuan did not refuse, Chao Huan smiled slightly, and Xiao Xi and the others called for dinner to be heard from outside, so Chao Huan went out to eat.
In fact, she has gone off the grain and does not need to eat. The children are just puppets and do not seem to need to eat. Besides, buying food will also consume their money, which is not cost-effective in any way.
But sitting at the same table with these children, eating simple but delicious food, and listening to their chattering discussions, it felt like a real family, and Chao Huan couldn't help but want to make this time last longer.
This time it was Aruo who went to deliver the food. He smiled gently at Qie Yuan without saying a word. He placed the rice bowl within reach of Qie Yuan and left.
Qie Yuan suddenly asked when he left: "Um, is Sister Shu busy?"
A Ruo shook her head, still said nothing, turned and left.
Chao Huan was indeed busy. She asked Aruo to deliver food to Qie Yuan, and she found an excuse to go to the nearby forest. At this time, the sun had set, and the moonlight shone in the forest, making it look a bit eerie. There were many children.
There are legends about ghosts and ghosts, so people don't dare to come at night, so it is convenient for Chaohuan.
As she walked, there was another footsteps behind her, but she did not stop, she just walked and talked.
"Master, are you okay?"
"He is very good." Lian Yunlan replied.
"That's good···"
Chao Huan stopped while walking. She had excellent night vision. She saw the herbs she was looking for in the darkness, and squatted down to pick them.
"There seems to be a group of people targeting you. I've seen it. They are bandits. There are not many of them, only a dozen or so."
"Is he a mortal?"
"yes."
Chao Huan said: "Then kill him."
In fact, she didn't have any good intentions. She had already investigated the surrounding environment before coming here again.
There is a small village ten miles away from here. Just a year ago, it was attacked by bandits. No one in the village was spared. The bandits even still imprison the women who were abducted from the village. Chao Huan originally wanted to
I wanted to go there sometime, but I didn't expect the other party to come over first.
The number of bandits is not large. It has grown over the past few years to nearly two hundred people. The dozen or so people who came this time are only part of them, but they are mortals after all. No matter how many more people come, they will still be ants to cultivators.
Lian Yunlan agreed, and Chao Huan was the only one left alive in the forest. She picked medicinal herbs for a while and planned to take them to the town to sell them for money tomorrow.
She was not lying when she said she was buying clothes for several children, and it was not easy for Qi Yuan to wear other people's clothes all the time. This medicinal material grows in places where wild beasts roam, and it can only be picked when the moonlight shines, otherwise the medicinal effect will be reduced by half, so
Chao Huan only came here to meet Lian Yunlan.
She had picked it up and was about to leave. When she turned around, she saw Lian Yunlan. He still looked indifferent. If it weren't for the trace of blood in him, others would have thought that he hadn't left at all.
He carried a cloth bag, and Chao Huan hesitated for a moment, thinking it might be the head of a bandit boss or something.
But he expected that Lian Yunlan was not so ignorant. He handed the bag to Chao Huan and left. Chao Huan took the bag, it was not very heavy.
When she opened the bag, she saw that it was full of medicinal materials that were exactly the same as those she had in hand, except that the quantity was a bit too much.
As I said before, this kind of medicinal material grows in places where wild beasts roam. There are also such marginal places, but not many. If you want to collect so much, you have to go to the central area at least.
So he went to kill the bandit and then picked some medicinal materials for her?
Chao Huan closed the bag, smiled helplessly, and followed the moonlight back.
The next day, Chao Huan took a little follower to the town and asked the other children to stay home. Although the other children were reluctant, Chao Huan made the rule that only one person could go with him at a time. This time it was his turn.
Who is who, and there is nothing you can do if you don’t want to.
Sister Zhu Shu will be angry, and it will be very scary when she is angry.
This time, A Ruo was followed. This child was very well-behaved, and Chao Huan felt sorry for him because he couldn't speak.
He went to the street and went to a time-honored drug store to sell the medicinal materials in his hand. Lian Yunlan only took half of the medicinal materials that Chao Huan took and sold them. The rest was planned to come back next time, otherwise there would be too many at once and the price would be suppressed.
After selling it, they got a lot of money, which could feed their family of seven for a month. Chaohuan left the medicine shop and bought a candied haws for A Ruo.
The child ate one piece and held it in his mouth without chewing it. He carefully held the rest in his hand for fear of being touched and dropped. Chao Huan laughed dumbly, but felt very distressed in his heart.
"It doesn't matter, everyone has a share, A Ruo eats it first, otherwise it will be sugary and it won't be sweet anymore."
Aruo nodded and started to eat slowly. This chapter has been completed!
