Gu Jiao went out to chop wood. On the one hand, she was really short of firewood. On the other hand, she also wanted to go into the mountains to find something to fill her stomach.
Although the family is not poor enough to open the pot, but it is almost there. Xiao Liulang may be able to support for a few more days by eating alone, but she is a little stretched.
It's late autumn right now.
Not only because of the lack of pollution, but Gu Jiao felt that the sky above her head was particularly blue, a blue she had never seen before. The air is also very fresh and refreshing.
She came here inexplicably, and I don't know if the lunatic in the institute will miss her. Mostly gnashing of teeth, blaming her for suddenly disappearing without sending them the latest research results.
However, she appears to be an MD from the M University Research Institute, but she is actually an agent. She joined the organization at the age of eight, and all her experiences after that were just a cover for her true identity.
Of course, she didn't plan to lick blood with a knife for the rest of her life. She made an agreement with the organization that this was her last order, and she would leave when she was done, but unexpectedly something happened to the plane...
Now that I think about it, the plane crash was too coincidental.
It's just that it doesn't make sense to say this now, she's dead, and it's impossible to go back to seek revenge.
No one should be saddened by her death.
Her parents divorced when she was two years old. After that, they started their own families and had new children. She was always superfluous.
In a sense, the fate of her and the original owner is really similar. The original owner's parents went early, and the original owner was redundant at Gu's house.
The original owner died, and no one would really feel sorry for her.
Gu Jiao laughed self-deprecatingly, her brows were cold.
Because she was worried about the rain, Gu Jiao didn't go too deep into the woods. However, Rao still told her to discover a lot of good things: there were fungi, mushrooms, and wild fungus growing on tree stumps.
The fungus is fat and thick, almost covering most of the stump, Gu Jiao picked the big ones.
This area was obviously cut down by the villagers. There are many stumps of this kind, and many fungus grow out.
Gu Jiao picked it piece by piece, and after a while the basket was heavy.
Seeing that the picking was almost done, Gu Jiao stopped in time, chopped some dry wood, tied the dry wood to the basket with a rope, and carried it on her back to prepare to go down the mountain.
However, as soon as Gu Jiao turned around, she suddenly felt the soles of her feet squeak, as if she had stepped on something.
Then she heard a muffled groan, very slight and weak.
She blinked and moved her legs slowly.
"Not so unlucky..."
She took a deep breath, looked down, and saw a white-bearded grandfather stepped on by herself in the weeds...
Gu Jiao: "..."
No, how could someone lie in the gutter
Did she accidentally step on the other party
Gu Jiao's conscience was very decent and stepped over him.
But within two seconds, Gu Jiao came back with a blank expression.
"Let's talk first, I didn't save you out of conscience."
"Cuckoo-"
In a tight cloth bag beside the old man, there was a pheasant flapping its wings and screaming.
Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows and glanced at the cloth bag casually. The cloth bag was silent for a moment.
Then she looked at the white-bearded grandfather in front of her. There was a large footprint on the other's face, which was stepped on by Gu Jiao, which was very appalling.
Look at the clothes, like an ordinary villager.
But there was an air of indescribable majesty between his brows.
Gu Jiao put down the dry wood on her back and began to feel the pulse of the other party.
She studied Western medicine when she was in school, but later, in order to perform a very special task, she lurked for five years in the family of a Chinese medicine sage on the grounds of being a teacher and studying art.
Judging from his pulse condition, there is no serious disease in the body itself. Gu Jiao speculated that she had contracted the cold and had a sudden high fever, accidentally fell into the gutter, and dislocated her left arm.
Gu Jiao took out her small medicine box from the basket and put an ice pack on his forehead.
Then, Gu Jiao took his arm back, chopped a piece of firewood, tore off the hem of his clothes, and braked the arm.
After doing this, Gu Jiao took his temperature again and found that it was still high, so he injected a dose of antipyretic needle into his muscle.
Not far away there is a small grass hut for the villagers to rest on the mountain.
Gu Jiao moved the person there.
The fever subsided, and the person was about to wake up. Gu Jiao got up and went down the mountain. Before leaving, Gu Jiao left him her umbrella.
"As for me, I'm not treating people for nothing."
The words fell, and a bag of pheasants was passed away.
As soon as Gu Jiao got home, the rain fell, and after a while, it became a torrential trend. The mountains are far away, and the village thatched hut is all shrouded in rain and fog.
Gu Jiao went directly to the stove.
Xiao Liulang has already cleaned the dishes, cleaned the stove, and put away his clothes.
Gu Jiao put down the firewood and the cloth bag, opened the cupboard and looked at it, wondering, "Have you finished eating?"
She left a lot.
Unexpectedly, the boy looked thin and thin, and his appetite was not small.
Is it really an age for a long body
Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows and found a cage to lock the pheasant in.
Gu Jiao separates Xiao Chai from Da Chai, and picks out the ones that need to be chopped.
By the time she finished chopping the firewood, it was evening, the rain had not stopped, and the house was wet and cold. She found a brazier and planned to light a fire for herself. Suddenly thinking of something, he walked to Xiao Liulang's house and knocked lightly on his door.
"Would you like to have a fire?"
she asked softly.
There was no response in the house.
She called again, but still no response.
Seeing that the door was closed, Gu Jiao gently pushed it open, and when she probed, she saw that under the dim yellow oil lamp, the thin and thin figure had fallen asleep on the dilapidated table.
There was an unfinished book in his hand.
The book was visibly yellowed, and the cover was torn and covered with greased paper.
Scholars in the countryside are very hard, especially Xiao Liulang, who has been oppressed by the Gu family and the original owner for a long time, and can't even go to a private school.
Gu Jiao hesitated for a moment, then walked over lightly, took a cotton coat from the cabinet and put it on him.
Xiao Liulang woke up in the middle of the night.
He hadn't slept well a few days ago, and he never thought that he would fall asleep on the table. When he opened his eyes, he found that there was an extra cotton-padded coat on his body, his eyebrows frowned, and a hint of vigilance flashed across his eyes.
He frowned and looked at the book in his hand, and suddenly heard a crackling sound, he turned his head, and saw that a burning brazier had been placed on the ground at some point.
The cold room was suddenly warmed by the light of the fire.
Xiao Liulang's eyes fell on the brazier, showing a thoughtful look.
There was only one brazier in the house, and after giving it to Xiao Liulang, Gu Jiao didn't have it.
Gu Jiao hid the small medicine box and quickly got into the bed, wrapping herself like a small silkworm chrysalis.
Xu was tossing around a few times during the day and tired her little body, so even though it was a little cold, she still fell asleep quickly.
Gu Jiao hasn't dreamed for many years, but tonight she had a dream.
She dreamed that a doctor came to town, and Xiao Liulang went to find him to treat his leg. As a result, there was a medical disturbance in the pharmacy where the doctor was, and many people were accidentally injured.
Xiao Liulang was crippled in one leg, and no one else could run fast at all, and the other leg, which was otherwise intact, was cut off at once.
Although this injury did not kill Xiao Liulang, it made him miss the exam three days later.
