Qin Rushuang endured tremendous pain and waited for the effects of the medicine to wear off.
After burning the incense, she gently wiped away the blood on her face with a clean handkerchief, and saw that the original hideous burns were a little lighter.
She estimated the speed of skin recovery and it should take more than a month to return to its original appearance.
…
Outside the house, Qingzhi calculated that it was almost time and walked in with her sleeping baby.
She tried her best to ignore the smell of blood in the air. After putting the baby on the crib, she took out the handkerchief Qin Rushuang had just used to wipe her face without saying a word.
Qin Rushuang's voice came from behind, "Qingzhi, don't be sad."
"I know, miss. I know."
…
After Qingzhi left, Qin Rushuang put on the bamboo hat again and covered her face. She sat next to the baby and looked at the sleeping child, feeling a little warm in her heart.
Only this child.
Only this child is her most precious thing.
Qin Rushuang was looking at the sleeping child tenderly when several knocks on the door came from outside.
Qin Rushuang frowned. Everyone in the village knew that she had children here. She slept for a long time every day and rarely visited here.
She stood up and walked quickly to the door. When she opened the door, there were several girls wearing ethnic minority costumes outside.
Their appearance is slightly different from Qin Rushuang's, their faces are deeper, their skin is a healthy wheat color, and their hair is dark and spread behind their backs.
Qin Rushuang shook her head, indicating that there was a child sleeping inside, and gently closed the door.
At this time, Qingzhi also came back. Qin Rushuang motioned to Qingzhi to go in and look at the child, and she walked into the yard with several girls.
"What do you want from me?"
"Axia! Taoist Lianqing has something to do with you!" one of the girls said.
Axia is what the ethnic minorities here call unmarried women.
The people here are very simple and enthusiastic. When she came here with her child in her arms, everyone knew that she was already the mother of a child.
But after she told everyone she didn't have a husband, everyone changed their name for him from "Akan" to "Asha".
Because in their eyes, even if a woman has given birth to a child, as long as she denies that she has a man, she is still a girl.
This made Qin Rushuang, who had escaped from death and was somewhat uncomfortable with the unfamiliar environment, feel a warmth from the bottom of her heart.
Qin Rushuang nodded, "Thank you, I'll go right away. By the way, why are you calling me today, where is Muduo?"
The Mu Duo mentioned by Qin Rushuang is a man in the village who specializes in taking care of Taoist Lianqing's daily life. If Taoist Lianqing has any instructions, he will ask Mu Duo to deliver the message.
Hearing Qin Rushuang's question, the group of girls pushed each other with smiles and looked at the girl who had just spoken to her.
"Ai Shan was afraid that Mu Duo would come to call you every day and fall in love with you, a beautiful Kyoto woman, so she volunteered to call you!"
Qin Rushuang looked at their innocent faces and felt that these girls were very cute.
They are very different from those girls in Kyoto who are trapped in the boudoir. They have learned to hunt with boys since they were young, and each girl can be independent.
And they are also very straightforward in expressing their feelings. If they like it, they like it, and if they dislike it, they dislike it.
If you like someone, then don't hide it and pursue it boldly and straightforwardly. If you hate someone, then make an appointment with the person and compete with them in their own way.
It seems that Ai Shan is very interested in Mu Duo...
Qin Rushuang smiled and said to the girls, "Wait a minute. Thank you very much for calling me today. I have a few small gifts for you."
She returned to the room and took out several square handkerchiefs embroidered by Qingzhi from the package.
This handkerchief was made from her old clothes.
It was a hot summer day when she gave birth, and the clothes she wore were all silk satin. This small tribe did not have the technology to raise silkworms. For them, silk satin was an extremely precious thing.
When they returned to the village, Qingzhi took out the clothes to dry, attracting many girls to watch.
Qin Rushuang saw that they liked it, so she asked them if they would mind if she wore the clothes once. If they didn't mind, she could make some small gifts for them.
The girls didn't mind, so during these days, Qingzhi cut the clothes into some handkerchiefs, carefully sewn the edges, and embroidered them with various flowers, plants and smart animals, making more than a dozen square handkerchiefs.
Qin Rushuang handed the handkerchief to the girls. The girls really liked it and thanked her with a smile.
"Axia, thank you! You are such a kind person! And thank you to Miss Qingzhi, she is so skillful with her hands!"
Even the girl named Ai Shan blushed and said to her, "Axia, thank you for the handkerchief. I respect your opponent very much. If you also like Mu Duo, when you get better, you can use Zhai Zi
Come and compete fairly with me!"
Qin Rushuang wanted to tease her, so she asked, "What if Mu Duo likes me?"
The girl frowned and replied subconsciously, "No! They all say that I am the most beautiful girl in the village! But if Mu Duo really likes you, then I will beat him up and ask the clan leader to preside over your marriage!
"
Qin Rushuang was just teasing her at first, but as she continued to talk more and more outrageously, she quickly stopped and said, "I'm just teasing you. I already have a child and I don't like Mu Duo. If you like him, then pursue him hard."
!”
Ai Shan blushed and ran away with his companions.
Qin Rushuang looked at the girl who was leaving happily, feeling very envious in her heart.
Once upon a time, she was as innocent and smart as them. It would be great if she could go back to the past.
But she knew that time could not be turned back, and being born again was God's greatest favor for her, so she put away her regrets and walked towards the small building in the center of the village.
Walking to the door of the small building, Qin Rushuang knocked lightly, and a pleasant male voice came from inside: "Is it Axia? Wait for me to come and open the door!"
After a while, the door opened from the inside.
A young man wearing a mandarin jacket with his arms exposed appeared in front of Qin Rushuang.
He has deep facial features, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He wears a hairstyle that is different from that of Kyoto men, revealing a beautiful forehead.
Seeing Qin Rushuang coming, he opened his mouth and showed a hearty smile, "Axia, you're here!"
His smile is truly pure and contagious, making people happy just by looking at him.
The exposed arms are strong and strong, the skin is a darker wheat color than the girls, the muscles are smooth, and there is a faint hint of strength.
Qin Rushuang raised her eyebrows.
No wonder Ai Shan likes Mu Duo. Mu Duo is indeed very handsome and a good hunter. Such a man is the most popular in the village. I heard that many girls like him.
While Qin Rushuang was lost in thought, Mu Duo had already reached out and pulled her in, "Axia, come in quickly. It's hot outside. Taoist Lianqing is waiting for you."
Qin Rushuang gently pushed his hand away, "I'm not used to this, sorry."
The folk customs in the village are open, and there is no unclear distinction between men and women like in Kyoto. However, Qin Rushuang is not used to being in such close contact with others, especially when the other person is still a young man in his twenties and a vigorous young man.
Yes, Mu Duo is only nineteen years old this year.
Mu Duo smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention and thought you were a member of the village. I won't do this again."
His smile is so sincere and his tone is so sincere that it's hard to make people angry.
Qin Rushuang nodded: "It doesn't matter, where is Taoist Lianqing? I'll go up and find him myself."
After Qin Rushuang finished speaking, she walked into the house first, but as she was burying her head forward, she did not see the passionate emotions bursting out of the eyes of the young man behind her.
