Zhao Chuan held it in for a long time, then couldn't help but turn around and look back. This time he saw Qinglian's pants thrown away not far away. It was estimated that Qinglian was suddenly attacked by a snake when she took off her clothes to relieve herself.
Zhao Chuan hurriedly picked up the clothes and wrung them dry, spread them out, shook them and hung them on the branches to dry in the wind, hoping to reduce some of the moisture.
"Am I going to die? I'm so cold." Qinglian suddenly said quietly.
Zhao Chuan hurriedly picked up Qinglian and found that she was shaking.
Thinking that the situation was like this last time, he was unable to save his life after carrying it back. However, due to the current situation, Zhao Chuan still cried sadly: "Sister Qinglian, you must hold on, I will definitely save you!"
Zhao Chuan grabbed Qinglian's clothes, but he didn't have time to put them on for her. He carried Qinglian on his back and ran down the mountain, "Sister, you must hold on, you will be fine!"
"Will you miss me after my sister dies?" Qinglian closed her eyes.
"You won't die! I like you, and I want to marry you! You agree, and you have said it many times before!" Zhao Chuan shouted as he ran.
"Little brat, you are only twelve, what do you know? Before... I was just joking with you."
"No! I'm thirteen, only two years younger than you!"
"Silly boy, you won't be thirteen until two months later. I know your nature..." Although Qinglian was very weak, she tried her best to keep her tone gentle.
"No, look at me. I've grown up. Look at those sixteen or seventeen-year-olds who are almost the same as me. Look at how strong I am! How fast I can run on my back! I'll be home soon! I'll go to the hospital at home. I can save you! Sir, your medical skills are the best!" Zhao Chuan ran desperately, his already wet clothes already steaming.
"Put it down... put it down quickly! The hospital is too far away. I can't wait any longer and I'm going to die. I want to ask you one thing before I die..." Qinglian said urgently with all her strength.
"What's the matter? Come on, tell me, I can listen to you even if I'm carrying you like this!"
"No, you have to put me down and say, I'm going to die... don't be stubborn with me, I beg you." Qinglian weakly beat Zhao Chuan's shoulders and back.
Zhao Chuan suddenly stopped and placed Qinglian on a stone surface at his feet. Qinglian could no longer open her eyes.
"Sister, tell me! I have let you down!" Looking at Qinglian's closed eyes, Zhao Chuan's tears began to flow down.
"Zhao Chuan... do you really like sister?" Qinglian said weakly.
"Yeah!" Zhao Chuan replied hurriedly.
"Then you...take my sister now..."
Zhao Chuan's eyes widened. Although Qinglian's voice was very small, he heard it very clearly.
"My sister is fifteen, she was able to get married last year..."
"Yeah! I know that. I heard that several matchmakers came to your door last year!" Zhao Chuan knows that local girls can get married as early as thirteen years old.
"Do you know why I don't want to get married? I've been waiting for you... I just said something wrong. I want to be your wife. I wasn't kidding you before..."
"Oh! Oh! I know! I know!" Zhao Chuan responded, feeling a little confused.
"Then hurry up. Do you want to wait until I'm dead before you come back?" Qinglian closed her eyes and placed her hands on both sides of her body, urging Zhao Chuan.
"Oh! Is this okay..." Zhao Chuan was in a dilemma.
This is based on the development of things. The old man with the white beard can no longer be a weirdo.
Zhao Chuan's head was buzzing.
"Okay!" Zhao Chuan gritted his teeth for the last time, took off his clothes and spread them on the ground, then put Qinglian's clothes on top, and then put her on top.
A smile appeared at the corner of Qinglian's mouth: "Come on! While my sister is still alive, don't let her die with regrets..."
Zhao Chuan carefully took off Qinglian's shorts and gently lay beside Qinglian...
Zhao Chuan felt like he was flying, floating as light as a feather in the clouds, oh, no! It’s flying, flying high in the clouds, it’s flying with Qinglian, holding hands happily, speeding past the mountains and rivers below...
Zhao Chuan completely lost consciousness.
Suddenly, a sharp bird call woke up Zhao Chuan.
Zhao Chuan hurriedly got up from the ground and saw that Qinglian was breathing rapidly and her chest was heaving together. She didn't look like she was about to die. He suddenly woke up, quickly put on clothes for Qinglian and himself, carried them on his back and flew down the mountain. Run.
Zhao Chuan raised his running speed to the limit. After an hour on the mountain road, it took him less than half an hour to reach the bottom of the mountain.
I arrived and saw Master’s clinic. It's here, it's here, Zhao Chuan couldn't run anymore, and he shouted from afar: "Master, save her, she was bitten by a snake!"
Master Xu Shaokun and junior sister Xu Xiaojing heard the shouting and hurriedly came out to pick up Qinglian. Zhao Chuan fell to the ground with a plop and fell unconscious.
I don't know how long it took, but when Zhao Chuan opened his eyes, he saw Xu Xiaojing staring at him with tearful eyes, "Wake up, Brother Zhao Chuan is awake!" Xu Xiaojing said hurriedly when she saw that he was awake.
"How is Qinglian?" Zhao Chuan asked hurriedly.
"She...she's fine. Fortunately, you handled it in time." Xu Xiaojing paused and said.
Zhao Chuan sat up and took Xiaojing's hand and said, "When is it?"
"It's almost dark, you've been sleeping for almost two hours." Xu Xiaojing glanced out the window.
"Two hours! I have to go home, my mother is so anxious!"
"Well, then you go home."
After learning that Qinglian had been taken home by her family for recuperation, Zhao Chuan said goodbye to his master and sister and returned to the Zhao Mansion.
His mother was not at home, so Zhao Chuan touched the fire stick and lit the oil lamp. Looking around the room, nothing changed. His father usually lives in a commercial bank, and only Zhao Chuan and his mother live in this small courtyard.
The small courtyard is located in the northwest corner of the entire Zhao family compound. Behind it is the Zhao family's back garden. In front of it is the residence of the housekeeper and servants, as well as auxiliary buildings such as the mule stable and mill. The Zhao family has many servants. Some of them live outside the Zhao family compound.
Zhao Chuan was about to go find his mother when he saw Wu Ma, a servant of the second master's family, walking in and telling Zhao Chuan: "Your mother has returned to your grandmother's house. The second wife's father is critically ill. Your mother took a ride with the second wife, and she happened to be halfway there." On the way, I’ll get you some food, so you can make do with it!”
"Thank you, Mother Wu, please sit down for a while!" Zhao Chuan said politely.
"No, I have something to do when I go back." After Wu Ma said that, she turned around and left the house.
Zhao Chuan followed him out and closed the door of the small courtyard, but Wu Ma suddenly stopped and turned around, took out a handful of broken silver and said, "Oh, I almost forgot, look at my memory! Your father suddenly went out to collect the bill and said it would take more than a month. Come back, leave some money for me to give to you when you leave, and give it to your mother when she comes back!" Zhao Chuan took it and put it in his pocket.
After Wu Ma left, Zhao Chuan felt that his whole body was still weak and drowsy, so he fell asleep next to the bed with his clothes on.
At midnight, Zhao Chuan suddenly felt an unbearable pain in his stomach. It might be that the heavy rain during the day had damaged his stomach. It was too late to go to the latrine in front, so he ran through the small door into the corridor of the back garden and quickly found a shelter at the end. Squat down. Then Mr. Shit burst out, and he felt extremely relaxed.
While Zhao Chuan was enjoying himself endlessly, he suddenly heard the sound of fighting in the courtyard in front of him. He could vaguely hear the second master arranging the protection of the courtyard guards, and then heard screams.
I'm coming! Tragedy happened.
But according to the white-bearded old man, Zhao Chuan could only passively accept the development of everything, and he could not make any changes. This was so maddening, so tormenting and painful.
Zhao Chuan instinctively lifted up his pants and ran to take a look. A big hand suddenly covered his mouth and said, "Don't make a sound!" At the same time, his whole body was lifted into the air and he was lifted to a nearby well that was not much used at first sight.
"Hold your breath!" The man whispered softly, and in a blink of an eye he had descended into the well water. He felt like he was emerging from a hole and floating up to a space, and then he was placed on the ground.
Zhao Chuan's eyes were dark and he couldn't see anything. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and a candle was lit.
This is an old man who has gone through many vicissitudes of life. He is none other than Great Grandpa.
The old man went over to sit on the stone platform and made a few circles with his hands, then closed his eyes, not sure if he was practicing or thinking about rest.
This is the great grandfather of the Zhao family. This old guy is still alive. This is the third time I have seen him.
Not only was this frail old guy not dead, he turned out to be a mysterious master.
It turned out that everything was proceeding as planned. Zhao Chuan was a little numb.
The eldest son of the Zhao family is not here now. He said that his great-grandfather and his second uncle settled here a long time ago. During the ancestor worship ceremony many years ago, someone had seen Grandpa being supported by the Second Master and saluting. Later, some servants met the Second Master pushing him past in the back garden, but no one had ever exchanged a word with him.
Zhao Chuan looked around and found that it was still the hidden stone chamber dug on the side of the well wall. There was water at the outlet. It was about the size of half a room. It was extremely dirty and damp. There were a few stone benches in the room, no windows or doors, and it was an underground tomb.
This is not a step back in time, just a re-enactment of local scenes.
Zhao Chuan understood very well in his heart, but in the immersive situation, he was still wet and his lips were blue, and he was trembling with fear.
Grandpa slowly opened his eyes and said softly: "Don't be afraid!", then stood up and walked slowly to him, put his hand on Zhao Chuan's back, and a stream of heat slowly entered Zhao Chuan's body, and he suddenly felt a wave of heat spreading. All over the body, the cold air is swept away, and the spirit is lifted.
Grandpa returned to where he was and continued to sit down, and said calmly: "Fifty years! Still haven't escaped. It is estimated that there will be no one alive in the Zhao family compound by now..."
"Who are they...why do they want to kill us?" Zhao Chuan asked. It was necessary to ask.
"You don't have to ask anymore. It won't help you to know. Just do as I say!" The ancient man paused and continued: "Your name is Zhao Chuan. You are twelve years and nine months old." , born on September 10th.”
Zhao Chuan asked how you knew?
Grandpa Tai said calmly: "Actually, you were not born on September 10th, but on September 9th. Zhao Li, the third young master of the second master's family, was born on September 10th. You two have swapped things! Your biological father is the second master, that is to say I am your great-great-grandfather, and it depends on you whether the Zhao family’s lineage can continue!”
Zhao Chuan listened quietly. This time he was no longer shocked, but felt extremely regretful.
