The medicine boy put down the tray and put the bowl on the table. His small body and eyes that were too big because of his thinness looked at Xiao Qingxue: "Little lady, it's time to drink the medicine."
Xiao Qingxue guessed that he wanted her to drink the medicine. She lowered her head in frustration, not wanting to drink it at all. She touched the wound on her forehead, which still ached slightly. She drank the medicine in one gulp while holding her breath, and her whole face was covered with pain. Twisted with bitterness, Xiao Luolan stuffed an orange apricot into her daughter's face to let her taste the sweetness.
Xiao Luolan looked at the medicine boy and waved him over.
The medicine boy stepped forward.
"This is for you to eat." Xiao Luolan took out a few apricots and plums from the fruit plate on the table and handed them to the child.
The medicine boy waved his hand, not daring to accept it.
"Here you go, take it." Xiao Luolan said softly, seeing how pitifully thin such a small person was.
The medicine boy was holding a pile of apricots and plums, mumbling and speechless.
"What's your name?" Xiao Luoran asked softly.
The medicine boy opened his eyes wide, as if he didn't understand.
Xiao Qingxue snuggled next to her mother: "Mom, do you want to learn the dialect here?"
Xiao Luolan touched her daughter's hair and sighed: "Yes, we always have to communicate with others, and you should learn from it attentively."
Xiao Qingxue nodded: "I understand."
"We are not familiar with the place. Zongzhu Zhou is a good person, but we can't rely on him." Xiao Luolan has roughly thought about his future life: "When the time comes for Langge, Zongzhu Zhou said, Langge should be a person. Let’s settle down in Dacheng. It’s better to buy a house near Clan Master Zhou’s house, it will be safer.”
Xiao Luolan only thought about this. As for what she would do to make a living after buying the house, she had not yet thought about it. After all, she had only been in this strange world for one day.
After hearing this, Xiao Qingxue hugged her mother: "Mom, no, mother, don't worry, I will definitely learn very fast."
Xiao Luolan laughed.
In the next time, Xiao Qingxue took the little medicine boy and pointed to everything in the room. The medicine boy didn't know why and said something. Xiao Qingxue followed him and said something. After a few times, the little medicine boy said Reacted.
The nobles want to learn Youzhou dialect.
The little Yaotong read more vigorously, Xiao Luolan watched silently and remembered it in his heart.
The mother and daughter studied very seriously.
At noon, the postman brought lunch, and Xiao Luolan and Xiao Qingxue ate in the house. The little medicine boy was also left in the house. When Xiao Luolan ate, the little medicine boy sat on a round stool. Go up and eat together around the table.
The lunch was rough, but Xiao Luolan was very satisfied watching the little medicine boy eat it.
Later, the little medicine boy told her with gestures that there was a severe drought in Buzhou a few years ago. There was no food and many people starved to death. Many people fled to Youzhou. The prefect of Taiyang County was a good man and asked a few people from the county to The county opened warehouses to store grain and cooked porridge for the refugees outside the county, saving many people.
Xiao Luolan felt heavy after hearing this.
Xiao Qingxue even felt a lightning strike on her head. She suspected that this ancient time was an ancient time of parallel time and space.
Now it's better, even if you want to be a magic stick, if you are familiar with history, you can still know how to develop in the future.
Xiao Qingxue was also worried.
Listening to the little medicine boy say these words, it seems that it is not peaceful outside.
Due to the pressure of survival, the mother and daughter studied harder.
Xiao Luolan divided the apricots, plums, and two peaches in the fruit plate into two portions. One was given to the little drug boy, and the other to his daughter. He ate the peach, and the little drug boy called it peach. Xiao Luolan thought it was more like a cotton apple.
After eating, my throat feels much better.
After the little medicine boy left.
Xiao Qingxue's eyes were bright: "Mom, I feel that my memory has become very good after traveling through time. I remember almost all the dialects that Xiaoshi speaks."
"Mom, test me."
Xiao Luolan naturally agreed: "Okay, I will say it again later."
After speaking in Youzhou dialect, Xiao Qingxue was full of confidence.
"Good boy is so awesome." Xiao Luolan praised with a smile.
"Hehe." Xiao Qingxue's eyes turned into crescent moons: "Mom also learns very quickly."
The mother and daughter reviewed it again and felt that they learned well.
Zhou Xu heard Qian Yicheng's report that the little medicine boy in the inn was called into the room by the nobleman for a long time. After waiting out, the little medicine boy told him that the two noblemen were learning Youzhou dialect.
Zhou Xu nodded, indicating that he understood.
They were ready to go, and the horses were led to the official road. The riders were in high spirits and well-supplied after resting.
When Xiao Luolan was informed that she was on her way, she put her daughter's gold jewelry bracelet into a wooden box in the room and wanted to take it with her. Xiao Qingxue felt that the wooden box in her hand was too conspicuous, so she lowered her head and put the incense Open the sachet, pour out the spices inside, then put the gold bracelet and crystal transfer beads on your hands again, and put the rest of the jewelry into the sachet. Fortunately, the long skirt is loose, and a fat sachet is not very attractive. Attention.
Xiao Luolan took her daughter out.
Seeing that the top of the stretcher was thoughtfully wrapped with cloth so that the sun, wind and sand could not get in, I felt even more grateful to Sect Leader Zhou.
Zhou Xu sat on the horse, stretched out his big hand, and bent down slightly: "Mrs. Xiao, please get on the horse."
Xiao Qingxue was stunned for a moment, her intuition was wrong.
"mother."
She ran over and said, "Sit with me."
Xiao Luolan hesitated and was a little worried: "But what if the stretcher falls apart?"
Xiao Qingxue's cheeks were bulging with anger when she saw that there was nothing to move around.
There is nothing wrong with Sect Leader Zhou being a great benevolent person, but, but...
Xiao Qingxue was just unhappy.
Xiao Luolan pulled her daughter aside and wiped the sweat on her forehead with her sleeve. Her daughter was afraid of the heat in summer. If it had been before, the air conditioner would have been turned on.
"Obey, you go and sit on the stretcher, and Mom will sit on the horse. Don't worry, Sect Leader Zhou is a good and upright man. When we get to the county seat, Mom will hire a carriage and ride with you."
Xiao Qingxue had no choice but to agree. She entered the stretcher and soon opened the covering cloth and looked outside. She saw that the sect leader Zhou was far away from her mother, with one hand behind her back and the other holding the reins. He was observing the rules and Upright.
Maybe, this Sect Master Zhou is really a good person... Xiao Qingxue thought uncertainly.
The sun is hot.
Zhou Xu glanced at the closed curtain inadvertently, and then took out a soap gauze curtain hat.
"Mrs. Xiao, the weather is hot. If you put on a curtain hat to block the scorching sun, you won't be exposed to the sun."
Xiao Luolan was very surprised.
I didn’t expect Sect Master Zhou to be so careful.
Zhou Xu saw Mrs. Xiao put on a curtain hat, her face covered with white gauze, her face was hazy, her neck was dripping with sweat, her delicate flesh was white and greasy, he licked the tips of his teeth and asked in a low voice.
"Mrs. Xiao, why don't you come to me if you want to learn Youzhou dialect?"
"I'm also willing to teach you."
Chapter 10 (revision)
Xiao Luolan was stunned for a moment. She opened the corner of her hat and turned around to look. The very upright-looking, tall and strong Zongzhu Zhou seemed to be asking her seriously. He kept holding the reins with his broad palms and could move with one hand. Riding on horseback, on the loess road, the sun was shining brightly on the earth, even the leaves on the roadside were curled up in a ball, and the cicadas were chirping noisily. They were the only ones riding forward on the road, and there was not even a breath of wind.
Xiao Luolan's lips were slightly dry, and her face was flushed by the summer heat. After a while, she answered: "Why do I have the nerve to trouble you so often? Qingxue and I have already received a lot of care from you. If we follow the example of Youzhou I still ask you for help with such a small matter, I really don’t know how to repay you in the future.”
Favor debts are the hardest to repay, and Xiao Luolan really doesn't know how to repay Sect Master Zhou's kindness.
Zhou Xu saw Mrs. Xiao's bright red lips opening and closing under the soap-colored curtains before his eyes. The confusion and apology in her words were pitiful. He coughed lightly and finally asked a very question. Want to know the question.
"Mrs. Xiao, I think you and your daughter are not ordinary people. Why are you living alone without any attendants around you?"
Xiao Luolan held the iron saddle ring on the saddle and didn't know how to answer. She was extremely panicked. It was impossible for her to tell the Zhou clan leader about her and her daughter's origins. She was afraid that the mother and daughter would be regarded by the ancients as The monster was burned.
Xiao Luolan's nervous forehead was sweating, her breathing was rapid, and her palms were sweaty: "I... Qingxue and I went out alone because of some things, so, we didn't bring anyone with us."
Zhou Xu pondered for a while and said, "Do you need me to inform your family? After all, the world outside is not very safe now."
Xiao Luolan looked up in shock: "No, no need."
Zhou Xu asked casually, "Don't you need to tell your husband's family?"
Xiao Luolan didn't understand it at first, but later she realized that the husband's family should be referring to her ex-husband. To be honest, Xiao Luolan's impression of her ex-husband was already very weak, and only a tall and thin scholar remained in her memory. She couldn't even remember the image, or even the face. If Sect Leader Zhou hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have been able to remember this person. But how should she answer now? Or should I say no? Wouldn't this be a bit strange?
"He has a new life far away. I don't want to see him." Xiao Luolan said in a vague tone, but she did not lie this time. She does have an ex-husband, but he is not here. Maybe one day It would be great if they could return to their own world. Xiao Luolan still had a trace of fantasy in her heart, so her words were inevitably tainted with melancholy.
Is it not enough for Mrs. Xiao's husband to have Mrs. Xiao, but he also needs to have a concubine? So in a fit of anger, Mrs. Xiao took her daughter and ran away from home. This kind of thing has not happened to high-ranking families, but those ladies will bring enough servants with them even if they leave home. Mrs. Xiao's mother It is rare for a woman to be homeless without bringing anything with her. Maybe something happened.
Zhou Xu frowned slightly, feeling disgusted with Mrs. Xiao's husband whom she had not yet met. At the same time, she was a little disappointed. Why was Mrs. Xiao's husband still alive? It would be better if he was dead.
Zhou Xu casually swung the reins and let the horse walk towards the shade of the tree, not thinking there was anything wrong with his idea at all.
When Mrs. Xiao said that it was far away, she probably meant Chang'an, which was quite far away.
Chang'an, Zhou Xu looked at the south. Their Youzhou was considered a barren land compared with the rich and prosperous Central Plains. Zhou Xu's lips twisted into a smile without a smile.
Zhao Qingshan followed his lord while waving his folding fan, took out a pear from the saddle bag hanging on both sides of the horse and handed it to Mrs. Xiao.
"Mrs. Xiao, the weather is hot. Eat some pears to quench your thirst and promote fluid production."
"Miss Xiao also has them. Those of us who often ride horses will put a few pears in our saddle bags whenever we have the chance."
Xiao Luolan saw that everyone had it, so she took it and said sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Qingshan."
"It's a small effort, nothing worth mentioning." Zhao Qingshan also threw a pear to his lord, Zhou Xu took it and started eating it too.
Eating pears, Xiao Luolan felt less hot.
Zhou Xu had finished eating long ago, and he lazily watched Mrs. Xiao eating pears with graceful movements. After watching for a while, he took out the cowhide water bag from his saddle bag and took several sips.
"Qingshan is a knowledgeable man from Youzhou. If Madam Xiao is interested in Youzhou dialect, you can find him or my cavalry. It will take at least several months to get to Langge. Madam Xiao and Xiao It’s good for the little lady to have some entertainment on the way.”
Xiao Luolan listened hard to Sect Master Zhou's words. Her knowledge of ancient times was limited to ancient TV dramas. She only half understood and half didn't understand. She could only tell that it was a long way to Langge. If she wanted to learn Youzhou dialect, she could ask Mr. Qingshan to ride a horse. So can those of you.
Xiao Luolan said gratefully: "Thank you, Sect Leader Zhou."
Zhou Xu found that this was the sentence that Mrs. Xiao said to him the most. He touched his beard, clicked his tongue, and called back: "Thunder Tiger."
Lei Hu/horsed forward, cupped his hands and said, "What are your orders, Master?"
"This is Mrs. Xiao. The person on the stretcher is Miss Xiao. She is very interested in our Youzhou dialect. Mrs. Xiao and the others may communicate with you when there is nothing else." Zhou Xu paused and then said: "You Don’t be rude to Mrs. Xiao and Miss Xiao.”
