The next morning, Hua Qingxue opened her eyes.
She habitually raised half of her body and looked at the other side of the kang.
Fu Tingye was indeed not there.
This man gets up very early every day, and Hua Qingxue doesn't see him on the kang every time she wakes up.
Come to think of it, soldiers are probably like this. They get up early and do morning exercises and so on...
Hua Qingxue leaned back and closed her eyes again in a daze, preparing to take a nap.
As I fell asleep, I felt a dull pain in my lower abdomen...
She huddled in the bed and turned over, arching her body and rubbing her belly with some discomfort.
The rising and falling pain, intermittent, woke her up directly and made her unable to sleep.
Hua Qingxue sighed softly, put on her clothes and stood up. She wanted to pour a cup of hot tea to warm her stomach. When she picked up the kettle, she found that the tea inside had already become completely cold after a night.
I had no choice but to go to the kitchen to light a fire and boil water.
But after all this tossing, before she could drink the hot tea, she was already in a cold sweat from the pain! Below, there is more sticky and wet stuff flowing out...
Hua Qingxue secretly thought something was wrong, so she quickly went back to the house to check, and sure enough - she was on her period!
It’s really not the right time to have your period in a place like this!
Hua Qingxue wailed in her heart!
Where would she get sanitary napkins? !
Judging from her memory and the information she has learned, there was almost no place to sell sanitary napkins in ancient times because they were private items and had to be made by women themselves! —The most common way is to make a long cloth bag and fill it with clean plant ash or charcoal ash.
She had made a lot of charcoal gray cloth bags before, and they were all used to warm the quilt. She pressed the hot charcoal ash into thin pieces and sewed them into the quilt, but the quilt was still in the old house.
There are also needlework and some scraps of cloth, all over there.
Hua Qingxue sighed with frustration.
Fortunately, my period has just come, so the amount is not too much...
Hurry up and get your things back, you should be able to do it in time.
I also remembered that the house over there is still rented. Why not go over there today and return the house? Maybe I can get some rent back...
With this thought in mind, Hua Qingxue drank two or three cups of hot tea. When her body felt warm and her stomach ached less, she went to the place where she and Li Jingnan lived earlier.
The weather was still very cold, and she was even more afraid of the cold after her period. She returned to her apartment with her neck hunched, opened the door and went in—
It had only been a few days since I had lived here, and the yard looked depressed and dilapidated, and the ground was in a mess.
If the landlord saw this, he would probably complain...
Hua Qingxue sighed and shook her head. She didn't care about the mess for the time being. She went into the house to find a sewing kit, opened the quilt, and took out the charcoal bag inside. She felt a lot more at ease.
So many charcoal bags were enough for her to use for a while.
Next, clean the yard first, and then find the landlord to vacate the house...
Just do it, Hua Qingxue walked to the yard, took a broom and started sweeping.
As a result, just after a few sweeps, a man walked in from outside the hospital—
Hua Qingxue saw the person clearly and her eyes widened in shock. Why was it him again? !
Maybe her eyes could speak. When Qi Liancheng came in and saw her stupid look, he immediately laughed, "What? You don't want to see me? It's really strange these days, there are people who don't welcome money."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver from his arms, threw it into the air, and then caught it again.
Hua Qingxue blinked and looked at him confused.
Qi Liancheng sighed, "Tsk, are you stupid? After delivering the clothes yesterday, you left without getting paid. This is your reward, don't you want it anymore?"
Of course Hua Qingxue knew that what she gave last time was only a deposit, and she would be paid after washing the clothes. However, the Liao soldiers were always overbearing, so she didn't take it to heart. She just wanted not to offend them. Unexpectedly, Qi Liancheng still remembered it. Give her money...
Speaking of which, although this man had an evil streak and tried to talk to her again and again, he had never done anything outrageous. He was much better than those Liao soldiers on the street who were always ready to fight and rob...
She held the broom and smoothed back her messy hair. She took the silver from Qi Liancheng's hand somewhat uncomfortably, "...Thank you, Mr. Qianhu."
"I've been here a few times, but it seems like you're never at home." Qi Liancheng looked around the yard and said unhurriedly, "I thought I'd never see you again, so this money will be mine."
Hua Qingxue lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "Excuse me, Lord Qianhu, to come here in person. Earlier... I went out to find my sister, so I wasn't at home."
"Did you find it?" He showed his usual mischievous expression, with a sense of nonchalance... but also a sense of schadenfreude.
Hua Qingxue pursed her lips and shook her head.
"I think you can't find it, so it's better not to look for it, so as not to waste your efforts." He said coolly, turned and walked to the door, picked up a large cloth bundle from the door, and threw it into the yard easily.
Hua Qingxue looked surprised. Before she could ask, Qi Liancheng had already said: "Your clothes were washed well. The superiors are very satisfied. These are clothes belonging to a batch of officials. They need to be washed well. They must be washed clean! This is not a thousand households." , that is, the clothes of the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief, and the general-general. Once they are washed, your remuneration will be indispensable."
Washing clothes for these people, it is easy to earn money, but it is as dangerous as walking on a tightrope over a cliff. If the Liao soldiers are not happy, they may chop off her head at any time, let alone give them money...
Hua Qingxue was unwilling in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She whispered with fear, "I wonder what kind of stains they are? There are some... If it takes too long, I... I won't be able to clean them..."
"Will it not be washed clean?" Qi Liancheng frowned, showing an impatient look, "Then open it yourself and take a look. Tell me what cannot be washed, so I can go back and explain to the boss."
Hua Qingxue lowered her head and opened the baggage, revealing the clothes inside.
She took a general look and found that there were about a dozen pieces. She felt slightly relieved, and then carefully checked to see if any of the clothes were dirty.
Qi Liancheng was unexpectedly good-tempered and waited patiently at the side.
After checking it, Hua Qingxue pulled out a few of them and said softly to Qi Liancheng: "Here, and here...the stains in these places cannot be cleaned, but the color can be washed lighter. , just can’t be completely cleared…”
Qi Liancheng glanced at it nonchalantly and said nonchalantly: "That's almost enough. It's not obvious anyway."
Hua Qingxue was slightly embarrassed. Who asked her to take a good bath just now and make sure it was clean
Hua Qingxue couldn't say anything to him, so she pulled out another piece of clothing and said to him, "I've looked at this cotton coat carefully. It's very clean. No need to wash it."
Qi Liancheng looked at her as if she were a fool, "Are you blind? Can't you see that this cotton coat is new and it's women's clothing?"
Hua Qingxue was stunned for a moment, then looked at the cotton coat in her hand again...
It was indeed women's clothing... The color was very plain and there were no patterns, so she didn't recognize it just now.
I touched it with my hand and found it to be very thick. Hmm... It seemed to be made of good new cotton.
But why put a women's cotton coat here
Could it be the family members of those officers
Qi Liancheng probably didn't expect her stupid head to guess any decent answer, so he said directly: "These are the clothes for you!"
Hua Qingxue's eyes widened slightly, and she was extremely surprised!
Why do you suddenly give her cotton-padded clothes to wear? !
"With your hands, what's the use of just applying ointment? Even if it's cured, you'll get cold again later! I'll give you some clothes to keep you warm so you don't waste my ointment." Qi Liancheng said in an evil voice, using He glanced at her with a very disgusted look and said, "Every time I see you, you always wear such dusty and rotten clothes. You are still a woman after all. Don't you usually change your clothes? Fortunately, it is winter now. If In summer, I’m afraid you’ll already have lice on your body!”
Hua Qingxue's cheeks turned red when he said that!
He actually said she didn't want to change her clothes? ...and said she would get lice? …
Please! Is she changing every other day? ! It’s just a matter of changing into something close-fitting on the inside. As for the one on the outside…
Okay, it does suck, but she did it on purpose! The city is so chaotic now, does she dare to dress well? Why don't you live in such a poor state to avoid being targeted by those Liao soldiers? !
But she couldn't say these words, so she could only bite her lip and suffer in silence...
"I will wash the clothes as soon as possible." Hua Qingxue said.
"There's no need to send them away after they're washed. I'll send someone to pick them up in two days." Qi Liancheng grabbed the big cloth bundle on the ground and strode toward the house. "I'll bring it to the house for you. Look. You're such a grinder..."
Hua Qingxue was shocked and hurriedly ran forward to stop him!
If Qi Liancheng is allowed to enter the house, he will definitely be able to tell that no one has lived in the house for several days!
"No, I, let me do it!" Hua Qingxue snatched the bundle from his hand in a panic. When she saw several large blisters on Qi Liancheng's hand, she was stunned, "Your How are the hands..."
Qi Liancheng retracted his hand and said lazily, "Oh, it's just a bunch of losers who were jealous of me rising too quickly and secretly tried to stumble me. But I hid quickly and they didn't succeed."
Hua Qingxue found that not only were there blood blisters on the back of her hands, but the palms of her hands were also severely injured. Probably because he usually needed to hold weapons, the blood blisters on his palms had long since burst, forming a layer of rough blood scabs that were still seeping. Blood and pus.
After she saw it clearly, she couldn't help but feel that her hand was starting to hurt...
"You have to see a doctor. What if you have an infection?" Hua Qingxue couldn't bear to look at her.
"Inflammation?" Qi Liancheng raised an eyebrow. He didn't understand what the word meant, so he said disdainfully, "If the wound is too big, you need to see a doctor? It's too shameless! If it spreads, wouldn't it make people laugh? die!"
Haha, this guy is quite nice...
Hua Qingxue complained in her heart, but after seeing Qi Liancheng help her several times, she felt a little reciprocal, and said: "Your wound has become suppurative, so you can't ignore it, otherwise it will get worse in the future. When you go back Mix egg white and sesame oil and mix thoroughly, then apply it on the injured area. Remember to remove the blood bubbles and apply it. It can reduce inflammation and relieve pain. If there is no sesame oil, you can use cooked honey... "
Before he finished speaking, Qi Liancheng impatiently interrupted, "You are so verbose, who remembers to invite?! It's so troublesome, why don't you just go back with me!"
