"okay, I get it!"
After a tiring day, Lian Xiaoxiao fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow after washing up. Lian Suisui covered her with a quilt. As expected, she couldn't care about anything else when she was busy.
My waist aches and my back hurts, and I am so tired.
There were several charcoal basins in the room. Lian Suisui yawned, opened the window a crack, put out the candle and lay down on the bed.
The night was very quiet, and she seemed to hear someone crying. She woke up suddenly and realized that it was a dream. She was too tired and the dream was messy. It was still early, so she turned over and continued to sleep. Lian Xiaoxiao beside her suddenly cried in her sleep.
In the dream, Lian Xiaoxiao struggled hard and kept waving her hands and feet. When Lian Suisui reached out to touch her, her pillow was soaked.
"Fourth sister, I'm here, don't be afraid!"
Lian Suisui pinched her, and Lian Xiaoxiao got up in fear and huddled in the corner, hugging herself tightly.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
The maid keeping vigil lit the lamp.
"go out!"
Lian Xiaoxiao saw the light and pulled the quilt over herself.
Lian Suisui sighed. Lian Xiao has a soft temper and a shy personality, but such people are also more likely to get into trouble. If they don't say anything out loud, if they keep it in their hearts for a long time, they will develop problems.
"Fourth sister, I asked the maid to go out. Can you please come out?"
The body of the person under the quilt was shaking slightly, and Suisui's voice slowed down.
"I have destroyed the bad guy who bullied you. Don't worry, he will never harm any girl again."
"It's stuffy under the quilt, you come out first..."
"Third sister..."
Lian Xiaoxiao showed half of his face, "Did I disturb your sleep?"
"No need to disturb, you are my sister, if you are unhappy, just tell me. If you have any troubles, I will help you find a solution together!"
Lian Xiao broke down and cried.
"Third sister, I'm really scared! I don't want to get married anymore, and I won't get married anymore!"
Lian Suisui hugged her and comforted her: "If you don't want to marry, don't marry. It's no big deal. If you are willing, I will support you forever!"
Lian Xiao cried for a while until she was tired and cried until she fell asleep.
It's okay if I can cry. I didn't turn off the lights for the rest of the night, and Lian Xiao's eyes were swollen the next morning.
"I'll help you apply it."
Lian Suisui prepared a medicine bag to apply to her eyes, and the two of them went to pay respects to Mrs. Qin.
"Let's sit down and eat together."
Lian Fangyu doesn't look too good. He caught a cold yesterday and had a busy day, so he looks sick today.
"Dad, let me grab some medicine for you."
Lian Fangyu didn't particularly trust her skills and declined: "It's okay. Let the kitchen make a bowl of ginger tea later."
He said casually: "It's very chaotic outside these days, so don't go out."
Lian Suisui glanced at Mrs. Qin and said yes.
"Don't worry, Dad, I won't go out and cause trouble for you."
In the past, when Lian Suisui was in trouble every day, Lian Fangyu cared about her very much and never blamed her. Now that she has become better, he is less enthusiastic about her and makes more demands on her.
"A girl's family should always learn a talent. If nothing happens, she can learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at home to cultivate her sentiments. In the future, she will not be looked down upon by others when she comes to her husband's family."
Are you thinking of giving her some talent now?
Lian Suisui felt baffled, but responded without refuting.
"Dad, I know."
After eating, Lian Fangyu felt a little uncomfortable, took medicine and went to bed. Lian Suisui, Lian Xiaoxiao and Qin said hello and continued out of the city under her cover.
They came late today, but there were not many patients at the stall.
Doctor Wu actually freed his hands to help boil the medicine.
"what's the situation?"
Doctor Wu pointed to the stall next door.
"The Imperial Hospital has sent three highly respected imperial doctors, and everyone has gone there."
Even Suisui took a look and saw that it was really like that. The victims also knew that the doctors at the Tai Hospital were highly skilled, so they all ran over to line up.
"We are happy to have some leisure time."
They were able to queue up. It seemed that their illness was not very serious, which was something to be thankful for.
In just one day, all the snow in the open space was cleared, and several simple straw sheds were built on it to protect them from wind and rain.
Yesterday, we admitted several more serious patients, and Lian Suisui was going to go to the hay shed to review them.
The floor of the hut was covered with thick straw, and the victims were wrapped in cotton-padded clothes. Some were sleeping on the ground, while others were huddled in corners.
It was so cold in the hut without charcoal fire that people shivered.
There was a mixed crowd here, and she got a lot of attention when she came in.
"It's Miss Liansan!"
The woman who had been treated by Lian Suisui came forward.
"My dog's fever has gone away. It went away last night. He can call for help when he opens his eyes this morning! Thank you Miss Third!"
The woman wanted to kneel down again, but Lian Suisui helped her up.
"As long as the child is well, I have other patients, so you should rest well."
Lian Suisui walked all the way to the inside. The airy straw shed originally didn't have much smell, but the rancid smell suddenly became very strong inside.
She stopped and looked over. In the corner, there was a seven or eight-year-old boy shivering wrapped in a large cotton coat. Different from the dirty victims around him, he had thin skin and tender flesh, and the material exposed under his clothes was not that of the poor. Materials we can afford.
Feeling Lian Suisui's gaze, the boy pulled the inner clothes into the cotton-padded coat and wrapped the cotton-padded coat tighter.
The stench came from him, so Lian Suisui pushed through the crowd and walked over.
"Kid, are you injured?"
The boy didn't answer her.
"Girl, he is a fool. He doesn't speak to anyone who asks him. He is really anxious to give him food!"
There were many people in this hut who had been treated by Lian Suisui. Seeing that Lian Suisui's kindness was not responded to, he hurriedly explained to her.
"Yesterday we asked him to go out and line up to show you, but he didn't go and didn't see any adults. We don't know which family the child is from."
There are no adults around, and the clothes he wears are of good quality. Could he be a lost young man from some family?
Regardless of his identity, he exudes a stench. If there is a wound, it is probably very serious. If not treated in time, he may even lose his life.
"Don't worry, I'll check it for you, I won't hurt you!"
The boy was still cowering, perhaps because Lian Suisui's voice was so pleasant. The boy's eyes quietly poked out of his cotton coat and looked at her.
There was a scabbed wound on his face that was not serious, like a scratch, but there were many exposed skin wounds on his neck.
Who is so cruel and cruel to children?
She stood up and wanted to go back to get the medicine box.
"Don't leave!"
The boy rushed forward and hugged her legs. Seeing her looking over, he quickly retracted his hand.
The hideous wounds on the back of his hands spread all the way up and were covered by his sleeves.
Looking up, he saw the collar on his neck, but wherever he could see it, there was no good spot.
He quickly picked up the cotton clothes, wrapped himself up and hid.
"Miss Third, I'll go get the medicine box for you!"
Everyone saw the wounds on his body, and the timid woman was frightened and hurriedly hugged her child tightly.
Lian Suisui knelt down and tried to ask him.
"Where did your injuries come from?"
There were many people in the hut, so the boy clenched his mouth tightly and refused to speak. Even Suisui couldn't do anything.
"I'm a doctor and I won't hurt you. Come with me. I'll treat your injuries and give you food..."
The boy finally spoke hoarsely.
"I have no money……"
