Xia Qingfeng and his party bought some more steamed buns and wontons and prepared to return to the carriage.
"Feng'er, you are always so kind." Space Spirit couldn't help but say, what came to mind was the scene when he saw her for the first time...
"People's lives are not easy. A disease can make them bankrupt. I can only tell them some common sense to reduce the chance of getting sick. Alas..."
"Madam, there is someone following you." Cang Qiang interrupted the conversation between Xia Qingfeng and Space Spirit.
"Who is it? Why are you following us?"
"It's a child, let's go down and have a look." After saying that, Cang Qiang flew up on tiptoes, and as soon as he landed, he grabbed a child in his hand.
"Good work!" Xia Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh again.
At this time, Cang Qiang led the boy to Xia Qingfeng. Without waiting for any questions, the boy knelt down with a plop: "Please ask the miracle doctor to save my sister!"
Xia Qingfeng saw a little boy of seven or eight years old, dressed in rags, like a little beggar, and said, "I am not a miracle doctor, I just know a little bit about medical skills."
When the little boy heard this, he became anxious and said quickly: "I was just standing by and saw the miracle doctor save the boy. Please save my sister!" After saying that, he kowtowed heavily.
Xia Qingfeng was also anxious, and quickly went up to pull him up. His head was bruised, and the child was too honest. He said, "My head is bruised. Doesn't it hurt? Where is your sister? I'll tell you right away." I'll go take a look with you. Just call me madam, don't call me a miracle doctor."
The boy touched his forehead and said, "It doesn't hurt, madam. My sister is in a ruined temple not far away. I will take you there right now." He led the way.
Xia Qingfeng asked Cang Ji to put the purchased items on the carriage first, and then go look for them. He first took Cang Qiang and Xu Xiaoxiao to follow the boy to the ruined temple.
The boy led the way. After walking a few steps, he looked back at them, fearing that the people behind him would not follow.
Soon, they came to a ruined temple. One of the walls of this temple had a big crack. There was not even a door, and it was impossible to protect them from wind and rain.
In the corner on one side of the temple, there is a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, sewing clothes in her hands, and next to her there is a girl of four or five years old, picking in a broken basin.
As soon as Xia Qingfeng saw this girl, he couldn't help but burst into tears. This must be the emotion of the original owner! Because the girl in front of him was none other than Cuiliu, the maid who helped him escape from the Hou Mansion.
Xia Qingfeng took a few steps and shouted, "Cuiliu, is that you?"
The girl suddenly raised her head and couldn't help but wet her eyes when she saw Xia Qingfeng in front of her. Her lips trembled and she said: "Little... miss, it's great that you are still alive. I finally see you." Xia Qingfeng climbed over."
Xia Qingfeng was startled by Cuiliu's movements. He quickly ran over and knelt down to check, and said, "What's wrong with you, Cuiliu? Why is your leg broken?"
Cuiliu smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just had my legs broken by the Marquis. As long as the madam and the young lady are well, it's nothing." After saying that, she wanted to touch Xu Xiaoxiao's head with her hands, but she couldn't. The hand that came out stopped again.
Xu Xiaoxiao took Cui Liu's hand, put it on her face and said, "Aunt Cui, don't worry, my mother will definitely heal your leg."
After hearing this, Cuiliu lowered her head and fell silent, saying: "I'm afraid my leg can't be cured. Madam, don't worry about it. I'm already satisfied to see the young lady and the young lady again. But, with my body like this, I can no longer serve the lady." After saying that, he couldn't help crying.
The girl on the side couldn't help crying after hearing this. When the little boy heard this, he knelt down again and said, "Please Madam, please save my sister. Her legs can be cured, right?" There was a hint in his tone. Feeling uneasy.
"I will definitely be able to cure it, don't worry." Xia Qingfeng wiped Cui Liu's tears, and then asked Cang Qiang to find a door panel so that Cui Liu could be lifted onto the carriage. The boy quickly said that he had a door panel here, and then took the gun to the back door of the temple. This ruined temple no longer has a front door, and it looks like the back door will be demolished as well.
When Cang Qiang carried the door panel over, Cang Ji also rushed over. The two of them lifted Cuiliu up one after the other. Xia Qingfeng also took Xu Xiaoxiao, and the boy took the girl, and they returned to the carriage together.
Xia Qingfeng wanted Cuiliu to ride in a carriage with him, but Cuiliu refused, saying that now that he was lame, he could not serve the lady, and he was dirty, so how could he ride in a carriage with the lady. Helplessly, Xia Qingfeng could only let them take another carriage.
Xia Qingfeng carefully inspected Cuiliu's legs and found that they were broken. Thinking of how a little girl could endure the tenth-level pain of a broken bone, she made a mental note to the Xiping Hou Mansion.
That night, they stayed at an inn marked with an eagle head. They asked the waiter to bring a lot of hot water, and invited a woman to help Cuiliu and the girl bathe, while Cang Jian helped the boy bathe. Cang Ji bought clothes for the three of them according to the sizes Xia Qingfeng said.
Xia Qingfeng went to the kitchen and directed the cook to cook delicious and nutritious meals.
After everyone sat down at the dining table, Xia Qingfeng took a closer look at the two children. They both had pretty features, but they were too thin, their faces were sallow, and their hair was like dry grass. At first glance, they were severely malnourished. Looking at the food on the table, their eyes were full of longing, but they all sat quietly.
Xia Qingfeng couldn't see the children suffering the most, so he quickly invited them to eat. But the two children only ate rice and did not dare to pick up vegetables. Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't stand it anymore, so she took a spoon and added vegetables to their bowls.
The two little kids stood up quickly and lowered their heads and said, "Thank you, Miss!"
well! Cui Liu must have told them something. Don't rush now. Wait until Cui Liu's leg is cured and then take your time.
After eating and drinking, Xia Qingfeng asked Cuiliu about what happened in the Hou Mansion after she left.
According to Cuiliu, after their mother and son escaped, Cuiliu went to the kitchen on time every day to get meals. Because Xia Qingfeng and the child were not allowed to see her in the mansion, it was not until the fourth day after they escaped from the Hou's mansion that the noble concubine came to look for trouble. When she couldn't find anyone, she reported it to Xu Jingchen.
Xu Jingchen seemed to be very busy at that time. He didn't even go to the backyard very much. He didn't pay attention to the disappearance of Xia Qingfeng and his daughter. He only told the outside world that they were sick and broke the legs of the maid Cuiliu and locked her up. Woodshed, prepare to starve to death. Yes, Xia Qingfeng only had Cuiliu as her maid, and the others went to live with her concubine to "climb high branches".
Fortunately, there was no one else in the yard. At that time, Cui Liu fainted from the pain. It was Yang's mother who had been favored by the lady in the house. She secretly broke the door lock of the woodshed with a stone, saved Cui Liu and gave her some money. and clothes, hired a cart for her, and secretly sent her out of the city.
It was impossible to treat her legs, and she didn't have that much money, so she could only crawl on a wooden board under her body and live by begging.
Xiao An and Xiao Xi met at this time. Yes, they are the brother and sister. The elder brother is Xiao An, who is ten years old this year, and the younger sister is Xiao Xi, who is also six years old. Because they have never had enough to eat, they are both tall. Very small.
They are orphans. The brother and sister depend on each other and live by begging. They met in this ruined temple. At that time, Xiaoxi was suffering from a fever and had no money for treatment. Xiaoan was so anxious that he cried. It was Cuiliu who took out her clothes and the hairpin given to her by Xiao An, and then bought some medicinal materials and saved Xiao Xi's life.
From then on, Cuiliu lived with her two children. Cuiliu asked Xiao An to help her with some washing and sewing work. Xiao Xi helped her, but Xiao An still went out to beg every day. Unexpectedly, Xiao An had been thinking about her broken leg and invited Xia Qingfeng to come, so that the master and servant could meet each other.
"Xiao An is a good boy who knows how to repay kindness. From now on, you will follow me and you will no longer have to live a hard life." After hearing Cuiliu's experience, Xia Qingfeng felt heartbroken.
"Miss, I didn't ask you just now, why are you back again? The Marquis Mansion is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, you can't go back. Also, how do you know medical skills? Why does Xiao An say you are a miracle doctor?"
"Let me tell you... you may not believe it. I encountered a great opportunity when I escaped this time. I learned a lot of things. Specifically..." Xia Qingfeng pretended to look up at the sky and said mysteriously: "Buddha said: It cannot be said ".
Cuiliu is a loyal servant. She believes everything the young lady says. She has no doubts after hearing these words and is happy for the young lady.
"So! I'm different now from before. I won't be so easy to bully anymore. Don't worry." Xia Qingfeng's lies kept slipping away.
