Chapter 82: 二次救命之恩
[The Second time, the kindness of saving my life]
“You are …”
Zhang San suddenly thought of something and kneeled down on his knees, “I beg the Walled City Lord to let us live!”
He didn’t tell the truth, he had seen the Black Wind Walled Village Lord, a few years ago by chance, but the other party didn’t show his face, and Zhang San heard him talking.
He, as a person, was particularly sensitive to voices, and generally did not forget them after hearing them, and he could be sure that he would never mishear them!
Xiao Lingchuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, with doubt in his eyes, he never showed his face in front of outsiders, saw the person’s face and still knew his identity, only the master worker alone, how did this person recognize it?
Since he was recognised, then that person must die!
Easily solving these three people, Xiao Lingchuan glanced at Li Haitang in his arms, saw her sleeping, without words, led the people to ride fast horses to leave.
Regarding the identity of the Walled City Lord, for fear that she cannot accept it, it is better to conceal it for now.
Before dawn, there was a heavy rain, the leaves that swayed on the branches, all fell to the ground and became bare.
In the night, Li Haitang had a high fever, Xiao Lingchuan could not do anything but carry her over the city gates in the night, and sent her to her home in Deer City, and used a carrier pigeon to send a letter to Chun Niang and De Quanban, so that they would not be anxious.
“Husband?”
Li Haitang looked at the gauze net with familiar eyes, this is her own selection, light green yarn, embroidered with a few birds on the tip of the branch. She said this colour is soulful, it can remove the coldness from his body, and make the home warmer.
This is Deer City, how did she get here?
“Don’t move, you’re injured, drink the medicine first.”
Xiao Lingchuan probed Li Haitang’s forehead with his hand. Compared to that time in the morning, it was not so hot anymore.
“Haitang ah, you eat a plum, there is Cordyceps Chicken Soup stewing in the pot, I’ll go check the heat.”
Second Auntie Chen also followed through the door, holding a small box in her hand. She has a good life, although Li Haitang said that they are not detained to eat snacks on weekdays, but as a subordinate, can not always take advantage of the main family, the family did not prepare this.
Xiao Lingchuan was afraid that his own wife’s mouth would be bitter after drinking the soup herbal medicine, so he specially asked her to go to the shop to queue up, wait for the door to open, and hurry to buy one portion back.
“Drink the medicine first and speak slowly.”
Li Haitang’s shoulder was injured, Xiao Lingchuan held her and put a pillow behind her, saw her drink the soup medicine and stuffed a honey sun dried sweetened apricot preserved into her mouth.
“Li Qiu Ju is dead?”
Thoughts slowly returned to last night, Li Haitang tightened her eyebrows. That’s right, Li Qiu Ju tried to kill her, then, she was stabbed in the throat by a flying dagger. That dagger was thrown by Xiao Lingchuan.
My own husband is awesome, through the window, it is like a long eye glance, in the darkness, can also accurately predict Li Qiu Ju’s position.
I heard that people who practise martial arts, have bright ears and eyes, and have night vision, I believe that this is not a legend, it is really exist.
Li Qiu Ju that kind of person, just die ba, keep it is also a disaster, that critical juncture, Li Qiu Ju is not dead, that corpse is her.
Xiao Lingchuan is very entangled, he thought of last night’s lines, if his own mother was frightened, how he should explain.
Other young ladies see blood, can be scared to faint, not to mention his own wife, not to mention if she was sprayed a face of blood, Li Qiu Ju’s eyes widened, died in front of her.
How to comfort? Xiao Lingchuan is really not good at it, thinking that otherwise, when she is a little better, take her to the mountains to hunt, hunt a few more wild boars, can do winter reserves, seeing blood, then she will not be afraid anymore.
Comparing killing people with killing pigs, Xiao Lingchuan for the first time was a bit complacent, he was still very resourceful.
“Don’t be afraid, I’ll make a bunk next to you these nights and stay with you.”
Xiao Lingchuan thought, still have to solve the problem at hand first, his wife’s wound is not shallow, every day have to be medicated, he also entrusted someone to buy the ointment to remove scars.
“Good.”
Li Haitang was very straightforward, the gift of saving her life, it was considered as a pledge to marry, this was not the first time she was saved by her savage husband, the difference was that they were now husband and wife.
Husband and wife whether in the same bed or under the same roof, it was reasonable.
Li Haitang yawned, she had lost too much blood, the most important thing was to replenish her qi and nourish her blood, she needed bed rest.
Xiao Lingchuan always felt that the style of painting was not right, shouldn’t the maiden be trembling with fear? Being splattered with so much blood on her face, even a man would also be scared, right?
Unfortunately, none of this appeared on Li Haitang, she was just afraid that her life was in danger, blood and corpses, these she was immune to.
Drinking some Cordyceps Chicken Soup, Li Haitang slept until the next day, she hurt her shoulder, it didn’t affect her in getting up and walking.
“Si Xi, I’m injured, you didn’t tell Jin Hu, did you?”
Li Haitang went for a walk in the courtyard and happened to bump into Si Xi who came back to fetch his food. He came down from the mountain every morning and was able to have a meal at home and sit for an hour or so.
Eating well, wearing warm clothes, just running errands, and being able to read and practice calligraphy, Si Xi was quite content with his current life, and was therefore extra attentive.
He found out that Li Jin Hu’s shoes were not warm and his feet were freezing from reading at night, so he asked for the size and pondered to have Second Aunt make a pair of shoes.
Li Haitang also really ignored this problem, she can’t attend to each and every aspect of a matter, four joys a reminder, she rummaged through the box, looking for fur, to make thick pads for little brother, and knee pads.
Reading is not easy, those who have achieved success, many of them have some problem. Now Jin Hu is too young to see it, but he will suffer the feeling of ‘guilty’ in the future.
“No, no.”
Si Xi put Li Jin Hu as the master, do not want to hide. He seriously considered handing over the news. The young master could not go down the mountain, certainly anxious. Once anxious, he would not have the heart to read and study.
“Well done, in a moment, let your second aunt make a big bowl of braised meat.”
Xiao Lingchuan remembered the wild boar thing, so he ran to the mountains to fight one, a good place to leave his own family some offal and side remnants, and give it to the villagers.
Instructing Si Xi to say a few words, Li Haitang went to the big kitchen to find Xiao Lingchuan again, the soup broth she drank, all of them were stewed by him personally while Aunt Chen Er was only responsible for watching the fire.
“Husband, I’ll get up and take a walk.”
After lying down for the whole day, Li Haitang felt that her whole body’s blood could not get through, and after being tied up for the whole day, she could not stand steadily, and the whole time she was carried and carried back by Xiao Lingchuan.
When the two of them came back the sky was still not yet bright, it was raining heavily, scaring Auntie Chen Er who opened the door.
“It’s cold, snow will fall in a few days.”
Xiao Lingchuan let Li Haitang go to the stove to warm up, the second Aunt Chen on the side saw the couple in one place and quietly withdrew.
“There are sweet potatoes, husband, let’s bake sweet potatoes to eat!”
Li Haitang saw the basket next to her, which was full of sweet potatoes, and smiled brightly.
Those sweet potatoes were prepared by Aunt Chen Er to make an occasional sweet potato meal, because her nephew Si Xi was really good at eating just white rice and steamed buns, with a large amount of food. She is still careful, afraid that the main family would dislike it.
There is no shortage of sweet potatoes in the village, Li Haitang has rarely eaten them since she transmigrated over here. She works night shifts in modern times and has a habit of going downstairs every night to buy a baked sweet potato.
In front of the hospital, there is an old man or grandpa who sells roasted sweet potatoes. He is lonely and poor, but the old man is a stubborn person, who does not accept help, so they often go to the doctors to take care of his business. In cold weather, buy a baked sweet potato, tear off the dry skin, revealing the orange-red inner flesh, wafting sweet smell, Li Haitang’s favourite.
