Chapter 2 Divine Face
"The kindness of saving a life should be repaid by a spring. I saved your life. Do you know how to be grateful?"
"Seeing as you are also a young lady from a wealthy family, you don't need anything else. Just give me a little money or something, and you don't need too much..."
"Well, one million taels is almost enough."
Li Qingyou had nothing to say. She mainly wanted to see if she could wake up the girl on her back. It was so cold outside and she might freeze if she passed out for a long time. If someone died, then she would be a murderer.
The girl didn't react at all, but she said she was tempted.
One million taels is nonsense, but giving her a thousand taels of silver would be a sky-high price. Then she would buy land and a house, make slaves and call maids, and she would be free and happy.
At this time, the city gate was locked, and Li Qingyou carried the girl on his back and climbed in through the drainage ditch in the northwest corner of the city. Fortunately, they were not very big, and there was no dirty water draining out of the city in the harsh winter.
By the time they arrived at the door of their house, Li Qingyou was already almost paralyzed from exhaustion, but she was still shuddered by the coldness that hit her face. The dark yard was like a huge black hole, as if it could swallow people up.
He tightly grasped the hand between the girl's knees, never having been so grateful for his momentary kindness.
The silence lasted only for a moment, and the birds and animals in the yard heard the noise and rushed to welcome the owner back.
"Hungry, hungry!" the old donkey in the donkey shed howled at the top of his lungs.
"Hululu!" The pigs in the pigsty followed closely.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck!" The chickens in the chicken rack were not disappointed either.
The sudden excitement broke the silence, and the yard regained its vitality. Li Qingyou suddenly felt the urge to cry, sniffed hard, and carried the girl into his house on the west side.
He put the girl on the kang and pulled his quilt to cover her. Li Qingyou hurriedly came out of the house again, ignoring her legs that were about to break due to fatigue.
Everything else was easy to talk about, but the stab wound on the girl's shoulder could not be delayed. There was no stab wound medicine at home, so she had to go out and buy it.
The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and the north wind carried it, covering most of Li Qingyou's footprints when he came back. This was because the snow was relatively light in the city, and the sky was already covered with snow outside the city. All traces were covered by the snow.
Under the starry night, a group of people came to the mass grave on snowy waves. After a carpet-like search, a subordinate came to the leader of the man in brocade robes and touched the ground with one knee, "Sir, we didn't find anything.
"
"Trash, there are so many people who can't even catch a child, what's the use of you?" The man in the brocade robe suppressed his anger, turned the horse's head and headed towards Qingshan County, took off the token from his waist and threw it at his subordinates.
, "Take my token and ask them to open the city gate, and order the county magistrate to send people to search from house to house. Even if they are in a mouse hole, I will dig them out."
"Sir, I'm afraid something is wrong." Another subordinate immediately stepped forward, "This place has just left the boundaries of Yanzhou Prefecture. If the prince finds out..."
The man in brocade robe was silent for a moment, "Then we'll search in secret."
The snow waves were flying, and the group of people came and went in a hurry, leaving only horse hoof prints on the ground, until they disappeared completely, and two figures jumped out of the tree.
"Rupert, what should we do now?" The short man looked anxious, "The closest here is Qingshan County, and the master must be there."
If Rubeus hadn't stopped her just now, she would have gone down to kill someone and turn him upside down.
"Don't be impatient." Ruburt smoothed his short beard under his chin and stared at the direction the group left. "Contact our people immediately to see how many are still alive. We must find a way to lure you away.
.”
"Rupert, there must be a traitor among our people." Otherwise, they would not have suffered such a disastrous defeat. Their master's whereabouts are unknown, and the lives and deaths of the others are unknown. Only the two of them are left in Number 100.
Rubeus was silent for a moment and agreed with this statement. When he raised his eyes again after a while, his eyes were already calm. He raised his hand and called his shorter companion to come over, "If you are like this... let's do something different."
After speaking, the two of them walked quickly in the direction of Qingshan County, following the horse's hoof prints.
The snow stopped, the wind subsided, the chill in the air slowly dispersed, and clarity returned to the world.
Li Qingyou had no idea that she had just had a brush with death. At this moment, she was taking the medicine for knife wounds that she bought after finally breaking open the door of the drug store and pouring it on the girl's wound.
Thinking of the drug store boy's eyes that looked like he was seeing a god of plague, and those words about his nemesis, Li Qingyou became furious. She was saving people, but how could she defeat them?
However, a girl going to buy medicine for a knife wound in the middle of the night really aroused suspicion, so she deliberately thought more carefully and said that she accidentally cut the donkey at home.
Unexpectedly, just because of such a lie, she almost got killed. This is a story for later, let’s talk about it first.
Li Qingyou gave the girl medicine for knife wounds and hemostatic powder, and got a basin of hot water to clean her face and hands. Only then did she realize that the girl actually had a beautiful face.
Her eyebrows are like distant black, her nose is like hanging gallbladder, and her lips are like peach blossoms. Although her complexion is not good, it cannot hide her outstanding appearance. Her pure and transparent skin is like the finest jade. She has already begun to take shape of a beautiful woman at a young age.
Even Li Qingyou, who had seen all kinds of beauties on the Internet in her previous life, had to praise her, she is such a beautiful girl.
"Fortunately, you have a good family background, otherwise it would be hard to get a good result just because of your face..." If you don't have enough family background to protect your beauty in this prosperous age, you will have no choice but to be bullied and eventually end up like this. A dismal ending.
It wasn't her who was clearly looking pretty, and I didn't know what she was feeling there.
After a lot of work, I finally settled the girl, and then went to the yard to feed the hungry poultry and livestock one by one. Finally, I took out the sticky bean buns that Mrs. Li made during the Chinese New Year, boiled them, and dug out a spoonful of pigs. Put oil in a bowl, sprinkle some sugar on it, roll the sticky bean buns in it, and it will be sweet and smooth.
Just as he was about to go to sleep, he found that the girl had a fever, so Li Qingyou had to get up again.
She couldn't afford the antipyretic medicines of Angong Niuhuang Pill and Zixue Dan, so she had to use local methods. She went to the kitchen to find ginger, sliced it, and dipped it in wine to wipe the girl's chest and back. This was the late Mrs. Li. Teach her how to do it.
Facts have proved the wisdom of the working people in ancient times. Mrs. Li's native method worked very well. As dawn was about to break, the girl's temperature finally dropped, and Li Qingyou became paralyzed from exhaustion.
The only bedding in the house was for the girl, and there was some in the east room, but after looking at the dark and gloomy house, I decided to make do with it and wait until daybreak.
Anyway, the two girls have nothing to avoid.
With this thought in mind, he opened a corner of the quilt and got in, lying down next to the girl. Considering the injury on her left shoulder, Li Qingyou deliberately lay on the right side.
