Jiang Yue put away the quilt, put on her quilted clothes made of linen, and relaxed her belt to try not to show off her waist.
She checked back and forth to make sure nothing was missing. Then he cleared his throat and walked out to open the door.
"Sister-in-law, I just woke up."
This sister-in-law was wearing gray linen and was about 1.55 meters tall, which was the average height of a woman at this time. During the day, she has a slight smile and laugh lines, making her face even more approachable.
Jiang Yue got up early and changed her clothes, but it was dark last night and the woman didn't see what clothes she was wearing under her raincoat, so she didn't notice anything wrong with her clothes.
But what surprised her was that Jiang Yue's appearance was more beautiful than she imagined. She was tall and tall, and when she looked down at her, there was always a cold feeling in her eyes. Don't dare to offend.
Seeing the other person's stunned expression, Jiang Yue touched her face and realized that she forgot to wear a mask.
"sister in law?"
The woman came back to her senses and smiled sheepishly, "It's okay. Seeing that you haven't gotten up, I was worried that you would come here. Isn't the wound on your forehead safe?"
Jiang Yue applied the medicine. The medicine was brown and smelled foul.
"Oh, I scratched it accidentally. The wound has been treated with medicine and it's no problem now."
The woman nodded, then frowned slightly, with a concerned look on her face, "My dear lady, have you caught the cold?"
Jiang Yue could feel that her nasal voice was very strong, so she nodded.
The woman felt that even God was helping her, and she was secretly happy, but she still maintained a worried expression on her face.
"Since the young lady is sick and has a wound on her head, she needs to lie down and rest for one more day before leaving. Anyway, the rain is heavier today than yesterday. It is not safe for the young lady to travel alone while sick. Why not go there? Wait here for your husband to come."
"My husband..."
Jiang Yue said half of her words. She walked to the eaves and looked at the heavy rain curtain, wondering, should she delay for another day?
This village is not far from the official road, but this is a fork in the road. Can Jiang Nian find it?
But her hands and feet were weak now, so she tried to hold on and walked, fearing that she would collapse halfway.
This time, we can only use the telepathy between the two of them...
She pursed her lips tightly and turned around, "Then I'll trouble my sister-in-law. I'll bother you for another day."
The woman couldn't hide the joy on her face, "You're welcome, little lady, you go in and lie down while I heat hot water for you."
After Jiang Yue thanked her, she went back to the house.
At this time, he freely accepted strangers to stay overnight without asking about accommodation fees. How generous?
If you want to talk about generosity, it doesn't look like you are rich. From last night to now, you haven't been given anything to eat, and you are even stingy with firewood.
I can’t bear to let my child trap the wolf...
Inconsistency, she is not a fool, such an abnormality, such an obvious trap.
Moreover, she could detect malicious glances coming from all directions. This goosebump-inducing feeling is no stranger to him, just like it was when Jiang Dafu was in Jiangjiacun.
Jiang Dafu eventually died in her hands. If these people dared to take action, she would not show mercy.
Jiang Yue lay back on the bed, closed her eyes, and conserved her strength.
A quarter of an hour later, the woman indeed boiled hot water for her and brought it to the bed diligently.
Jiang Yue took it, her eyes still red due to high fever, looking weak and pitiful. She looked grateful and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, but I'm not thirsty now. I'll drink later."
Seeing that her face was pale and weak, the woman really let down her guard and did not force her. She even comforted Jiang Yue before going out.
After the door was closed, Jiang Yue put away her smile and smelled the bowl of water. It was colorless and odorless, wondering if there was anything wrong with it.
But no matter what, she didn't need to take the risk and just changed it to a bowl of her own water.
After drinking the antipyretic medicine, I felt drowsy.
"Sister-in-law! How is it? Did she drink?"
The third child ran out and asked his sister-in-law anxiously. He just took a sneak peek through the crack in the door of the house. This little lady is so beautiful! She was prettier than any woman he had ever seen!
It's just a little taller, taller than him. But it doesn't matter, he doesn't mind it.
The woman rolled her eyes at him and whispered, "Why are you so anxious? The water is hot and you can't drink it until it cools down?"
Seeing his disappointed expression, he said, "Oh, third child, don't worry! That little lady is sick and injured, so she can't leave! There is only that bowl of water in the room. She will die of thirst if she doesn't drink it." ah?"
Hearing this, the third child was relieved, with a smile in his little eyes, waiting for the night to come.
Tonight is the wedding night between him and his wife!
Jiang Nian in Fengtianfu City was lying on the bed with an ugly face and his whole body was on fire.
But he knew that this was not just due to external injuries, but the fire coming from the bottom of his heart, which was about to burn his whole body to ashes.
Butcher Fang's family was very nervous. First, there was no news about Miss Jiang in or outside the city. Second, Jiang Nian had been having a fever for two days.
They are the saviors of their family, and they cannot be served too much. But now there is no medical clinic open in the city, so there is nothing they can do.
If the fever persists for a long time, it may burn out the brain, or even lose one's life.
Butcher Fang went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables in the rain, and even found typhoid herbs for him.
"Xiao Jiang, just drink the medicine. Although it's not as good as the medicine from the medical center, it's better than nothing."
Jiang Nian saw that half of his body was soaked. Knowing his good intentions, he did not refuse and took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"I'm leaving today."
Butcher Fang was startled and advised, "But it's still raining heavily, you don't have a mule now, and the road is muddy. Why don't you wait until it gets quieter?"
Jiang Nian looked at the rain outside the window and couldn't even see the road clearly.
"No, I can't wait."
He has been delayed for two days due to physical reasons, and he can no longer bear such days.
Butcher Fang already knew his stubbornness and couldn't persuade him, so he said, "Then which way are you going? Do you have a direction?"
"To the east."
When Butcher Fang heard this, it was a good thing to have a direction. Ask his wife to bring dry food and give it to Jiang Nian.
Before he could refuse, he said, "I know you're not hungry, but we can't help. At least we can do our best."
In the past two days, Jiang Nian only ate two pancakes at their house. He said he was in a bad mood. He also felt that the other party did not want to use more of their food.
These two couples are both kind-hearted people with cold faces and warm hearts.
Jiang Nian pursed his lips, took only two pancakes and stuffed them into his arms, "Thank you."
Then he turned around and left.
Butcher Fang watched this tall young man walking silently into the rain, his back lonely, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
I hope he can find Mrs. Jiang soon.
Otherwise, if this tense state continues, something will really happen to him...
