Chapter 7 Young and don't know the depth of fate
"Ouch, slow down and be careful not to chop." Seeing that the teenager was in a hurry, Ling Xiao hurriedly took his handkerchief to wipe the tea dripping from his chin.
After Shen Murou went to the kitchen to prepare food, Ling Xiao sat on the side and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Feng... Lin Feng." Feng Yuqi looked at the pink and jade-faced girl in front of him. Her voice was soft and sweet, which was unique to a southern girl, which added a little favor to him.
"My name is..." Ling Xiao bent his little head and asked again, "Don't you ask me what's my name?"
"Your name is Xiaoer." Feng Yuqi showed a cunning smile. Usually, his nature is the coldest. Even when he saved people yesterday, he also ignored him and left without saying a few words. But today, looking at this innocent girl who saved her life, she actually had the idea of teasing her.
Feng Yuqi is handsome. Even if he is a little haggard now, he still doesn't lose his glory. Originally, his face had been cold and hard, but now he smiles like this. It's really like the first blooming snow lotus on an iceberg, which makes people dumbfounded.
"How do you know?" Ling Xiao was stunned for a while, and then asked with wide eyes. Seeing that the other party didn't answer, he suddenly realized for a long time, "Ah, I'm really stupid. Didn't my mother call me here?"
Maybe Ling Xiao's appearance was so cute that Feng Yuqi couldn't help laughing.
Ling Xiao stared at him, but he was not annoyed. Instead, he felt that the little brother was much cuter and much closer than before.
"xiaoer, are you really right about the several drugs I told you to buy?" After taking care of Feng Yuqi after eating and letting him lie down and rest, Shen Murou carefully checked the medicine Ling Xiao brought back. Originally, she only thought that Liu Boduo had given the amount of medicine, but she saw that there were several more expensive tonics in it.
"No..." Ling Xiao blinked his big eyes and looked at his mother's puzzled look, with some unconfidence in his words.
"Is this the best Baiyuntang's golden sore medicine?" Shen Murou held a small white porcelain bottle and wondered.
Nowadays, although she lives a depressed life, at least she was born in an official eunuch's family. In those years, when she was Miss Fu Yin, she had seen a lot of good things. This Baiyuntang is the most famous hospital and pharmacy in the capital. The family is a well-known medical fairy Liu Huajie all over the country. He has good medical skills, and even the imperial doctors in the palace have to go to the door for advice.
And the medicine sold in it is naturally excellent. The reputation is good, but it is difficult to get a lot of money. Not to mention ordinary people can't get it, even rich people can't buy it with money. At that time, her father asked for a few pills of medicine for qi. Although it was different from this bottle, she remembered the unique seal of Baiyuntang on it.
"Baiyuntang? Liu Bokai's pharmacy is obviously Baicaotang? Ling Xiao listened and said strangely, "But what's the problem?"
I heard that Uncle Liu came from the capital earlier. Could it be... Shen Murou was still thinking about it, but she was interrupted by Ling Xiao and said, "It's nothing. It's my mother who is confused."
Uncle Liu is by no means a simple person, but Shen Murou thinks so in her heart.
After the bowls and chopsticks were cleaned up, Ling Xiao went to check the stove for decoction. Seeing that it was boiling, he carefully poured the medicine into the bowl with a wet cloth and took it to the firewood room to drink.
In the next few days, in order to worry about Feng Yuqi's body, Ling Xiao almost stayed on the side, and she also served most of the things of feeding soup and changing medicine. When Feng Yuqi woke up in the haze, he saw a cute little girl with Yuxue beside him. As soon as he warmed his heart, he fell asleep again.
"Chou'er, there will be a market the day after tomorrow. Then you can buy some gray and white coarse cloth." When Shen Murou was halfway through the laundry, she suddenly remembered that she wanted to make a dress for Feng Yuqi and said to Ling Xiao.
"Hmm." Ling Xiao nodded and then remembered what his mother said.
Although Ling Xiao is only eight years old, she is very familiar with these small shopping things and will never be cheated.
Before that, something happened that surprised Ling Xiao - Li Ye actually found it alone.
Except for Ping An, Ling Xiao doesn't have any friends of the same age, so he is still very happy to see Li Ye. Although he is a boy, he is still young, and there are not so many taboos.
On that day, Ling Xiao learned a lot of interesting things from Li Ye, and the two even made an appointment to catch fish by the river in the south of the city in the future.
Ling Xiao said that potatoes like small fish the most, and she wants to catch a lot of small fish for potatoes.
Of course, Ling Xiao did not tell Li Ye about Feng Yuqi's firewood house at this moment. After all, this matter is not trivial.
However, who would have thought that at this moment, the line of fate had already entangled the three children under the same roof.Although all three are children, although their fates are completely different, they have their own sufferings and pains.
Li Ye's family lives in Dumb Lane, which is the poorest place in Phoenix. There are even many foreigners or beggars who have no way out to build thatched huts by the roadside, even if they have settled down.
All this should not have been like this...
In the evening, Li Ye reluctantly left the Ling family's courtyard with a small bag of tonic and a few buds.
"Ye'er, that's a good family. You should have a conscience in the future, just like your dead father." That day, when Li Ye brought the boiled medicine to his mother to drink, Li's mother opened a pair of gray eyes with no vitality, touched Li Ye's head tremblingly, and said earnestly.
"Yes, mother." Although his mother couldn't see it, Li Ye nodded solemnly.
Then, he touched the wound on his head. Thinking of what happened that day, a trace of perseverance flashed in his eyes, gritted his teeth, and secretly made up his mind.
He found the tiger shadow sword left by his father, as well as a box full of martial arts classics and military books, which were his father's many years of combat experience.
Liu Bo's medicine was really effective. Ling Xiao fried it day by day and took it for Feng Yuqi. Although he had not recovered, he seemed to be getting better day by day and could barely get out of bed.
On the day of the market, Ling Xiao got up very early to pick flowers and make flower chains.
The light is slightly bright, the air is slightly wet, and the petals are still stained with dew. A wisp of cooking smoke floated out of the chimney. As the breeze rises, the courtyard is filled with an intoxicating smell.
This is probably the smell of fireworks in the world.
Feng Yuqi stood behind the door and looked at the attentive girl in the yard, thinking in his heart.
"Xiaoer, what kind of fun you just made? Can you show it to me?" Before going out, Ling Xiao went to the firewood room to take a look at Feng Yuqi again, but he saw him sitting by the bed with a smile and said to her.
"Of course." Ling Xiao took out his carefully prepared flower chain like a treasure, and chose the most beautiful one and handed it to Feng Yuqi.
Feng Yuqi held it in his hand and looked at the delicate flowers in his hand, strung together by a thin silk thread, which was extremely delicate. He praised, "Xiao'er is really clever."
Ling Xiao often listens to people's praise, but this time he blushed somehow.
"Is this string good for me?" Feng Yuqi said softly.
"Ah?" Ling Xiao became more and more embarrassed, "It's just..."
Seeing Feng Yuqi's disappointed look, she immediately changed her words and said, "Since Brother Feng doesn't dislike it, just take it naturally."
Feng Yuqi smiled and touched his sleeves before he realized that what he was wearing was no longer his original clothes.
"Is Brother Feng looking for something?" Seeing this, Ling Xiao asked, and then explained, "Your original dress was too torn and had blood stains, so I burned it, but there was nothing in it."
I think it fell off when he ran away. Feng Yuqi originally wanted to give his jade pendant to Lingxiao, but now... But it's okay. As long as the jade pendant is slightly shrewd, you can see that it is a royal thing, or don't take it out.
Feng Yuqi hid Ling Xiao's flower chain in his arms. After thinking about it, he took off the necklace on his neck and handed it to Ling Xiao. He said as if nothing had happened, "I don't have anything to give to Xiaoer. Let's take it as my return."
Ling Xiao knew this necklace. He had been wearing it since he first rescued Feng Yuqi. It was a red rope with a colored shell the size of a broad bean falling under it. It was extremely delicate, but it didn't seem to be valuable. She once felt a little strange when she wore it on the neck of a rich young master like him.
Now when he saw Feng Yuqi giving this thing to himself, a surprise popped up in Ling Xiao's eyes. He wanted to push it, but when he thought about it, it was not a precious thing anyway. If he didn't accept it, he would be pretentious. What's more, she liked it, so she took it generously and thanked her.
This seems to be just a gift between two children, but I don't want to generate so many stories after many years...
Ling Xiao saw that it was almost time, said goodbye to his mother and Feng Yuqi, and took some money to buy cloth with him, so he went out.
This time, she remembered to buy cloth, so she didn't have much mind to sell flower chains, so she sold three. However, she didn't care much. She put away her things and went to the cloth store. According to her mother's instructions, she bought a cloth that was just enough to make clothes for Feng Yu. Then, I went to see Uncle Liu and others on the way.
After finishing these things, the sun was already high. When it was almost lunchtime, Ling Xiao quickly rushed home.
Although the small business is not good today, Ling Xiao is in a good mood. Holding the cloth in his arms and imagining the way Feng Yuqi is wearing on his body, his eyes narrowed.
Although it is only coarse cloth, this is the cleanest and smoothest piece she carefully selected among the fabrics of the same color. The boss was not angry when he saw this, but also praised her for being sensible and giving her a profit of two cents.
As soon as Ling Xiao stepped into the courtyard with something, he saw the most leisurely potato running towards her, as if with some panic.
"Tudou, I'm so sorry, I haven't cared about you these days." It seems that he hasn't seen the potato for several days. Because of Feng Yuqi, Ling Xiao didn't care about taking care of it. At this moment, when he saw it suddenly pop out, he squatted down and stroked it twice with some guilt and comforted him.
"Meow~" Tudou seemed to understand what the master said and responded, but he was still a little irritable and turned his head to look at the house.
Ling Xiao was thinking about making a new dress for Feng Yuqi. He didn't notice the abnormality of the potato. He thought it was because he didn't care about it that made it irritable.
"Potato, good boy, I'm going to go fishing in the secret river he said with Brother Li Ye this afternoon. You will have delicious food tonight." Ling Xiao stood up and didn't care about it for the time being. By the way, he looked at the chicken shed on the side, and the reed chickens grew stronger and stronger.
She grabbed a handful of chicken food and sprinkled it into it, causing several chickens to compete, and the biggest chicken mother lay leisurely in the corner, making a few "cooing" sounds from her throat from time to time.
Thinking about coming over early tomorrow morning to see if he could pick up a few more eggs and mend Feng Yuqi's body, Ling Xiao was thinking about walking into the house.
As a result, as soon as she walked into the house, she was stunned.
