Chapter 20 The Wife
Qin Jingling opened his eyes and the dim lights filled the room. He looked at the dilapidated and simple house, and was slightly stunned.
The Japanese army was rampant, burning, killing, looting, and doing everything evil.
He led the army to fight, and the leader of the Japanese army fled. He pursued him alone, but he didn't know that he would be ambushed. He cooperated inside and outside and seriously injured him.
He was injured and fled and fainted at the foot of the mountain. He thought he could not escape and die, but he never thought he would be saved.
"Awaken? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Shang Zhitou had a bowl of water, wrapped his fingers in a clean cotton cloth to moisten his lips.
She kept guarding her, but fortunately he was strong and not infected, causing high fever.
Qin Jingling shook his head, "Thank you." He tried to sit up and pulled the wound. His tough and handsome face was twisted in pain, and cold sweat burst out from his forehead.
"Don't move, be careful of rupture of the wound. You have lost too much blood and are too weak. It's best to rest in bed these days." Shang Zhi pressed his uninjured shoulder and lifted the coarse cloth quilt to check the wound. The white cotton cloth was stained with blood and frowned, "I'll give you medicine again."
Qin Jingling lay quietly, and after some movement, he was panting.
Sure enough, it's too weak!
He turned his head and looked at Shang Zhi's slender figure, busy pounding herbs, with a beautiful face and clear temperament, and he vaguely felt a little kind-faced.
Shang Zhi picked the Nine-Death Resurrection Grass and smashed it. He held a basin of warm water, untied the bandage on his chest, and applied the herbs.
Qin Jingling frowned in pain. He stared at Shang Zhi's face at close range. The more he looked, the closer he felt. The good face at that moment was not his illusion.
"Is the girl here? Are her parents working outside?" Qin Jingling asked on his own initiative.
Shang Zhi did not hide it and said truthfully: "I am an orphan. When my master traveled around, he picked me up as an apprentice, and then settled down here." After wrapping the bandages, she tied knots and covered her bedding, "You don't look like a native of Danzhou Prefecture."
Qin Jingling looked at Shang Zhi and pressed him with his fingers. Her fingertips were pale, and she let go and filled her blood.
"I am from Shengjing. I encountered robbers on the raid and fled here."
Shang Zhi looked at his rosy fingers and felt relieved. His shock symptoms had been relieved. He could not help but curl his lips when he heard his answer.
His palms and tiger's mouth were covered with thick cocoons, and it was obvious that he had been holding a knife for many years. His big and small scars were intertwined, his skin was dark, and his body was covered with a salty and fishy smell of sea water. The answer was almost about to come out.
soldier!
His facial features are tough, rigorous and solemn, and his body exudes a majestic atmosphere. He has a great position in the army.
"You can recover with peace of mind. After you recover, contact your relatives to pick you up."
Shang Zhi reminded him and turned to the kitchen. The porridge in the pot was soft and fragrant. She put a bowl on it and brought it to Qin Jingling for drink.
I squatted in the kitchen and took a plate of wild vegetables, dealing with a meal.
I cleaned up and walked to the yard to look at the big yellow cow, and couldn't help but feel worried.
A beef definitely cannot be sold for five taels of silver, and she has to rent a ox cart to the town, and it also has to be spent.
Finally, Shang Zhi decided to cut off the cowhide and boil yellow gelatin. As for the beef, he cut a few portions of it and gave it to her neighbors who helped her, and then took the rest to the town to sell.
Huang Gelatin can not only nourish Qin Jingling, but also sell it. The price is above beef, and it may be able to pay off the debt!
Thinking of this, Shang Zhi cut the skin with a kitchen knife, and it took an hour to divide the skin, making her waist sore and her back hurt.
Then, he used the bone-cutting knife borrowed by Chen Yaozong to divide the beef into ten portions, seven or eight portions in bamboo baskets, and prepared to sell them tomorrow. He kept a piece of it and gave some to Aunt Liu, Chen Si, and the family of Chen clan leader.
She and Xue Shenzhi lived in two houses connected together. There was a well behind the house. She mobilized the piece of beef left in the well water and planned to make marinated meat tomorrow.
Cleaning up the blood in the yard, she carried the beef to the next door.
The door was not closed, she looked inside, is there no one?
I was about to put the beef on the table. As soon as I stepped into the room, I heard the woman's sob, "Shenzhi, you want to save me, I can't live anymore! I have been widowed for your elder brother for ten years, and I have worked hard to do nothing to the Xue family. I can do my best to your elder brother! But your mother wants me to be a child with Xue Ning'an, and they want me to die!"
Xue Shenzhi was very surprised. Xu would let Xue Ningan take the younger Xu regardless of his face. But the target was Xue Ningan, which seemed not surprising.
"I can't help you."
Xiao Xu cried even more sadly and desperately, and said anxiously: "No, you can help! Say, you can't live for a few years, and you can't marry a wife with your reputation! I'm willing to leave you with you and leave you a breath of blood!"
absurd!
Xue Shen's breath was suddenly cold.
Xiao Xu was unaware of it, "If my husband hadn't saved you, he wouldn't have died. How could I be missed by that beast? I will live with you, Shuanzi and you, and you don't have to pay for them."
A coldness flashed in Xue Shenzhi's eyes, and she was trying to repay her kindness.
The complaints about her falling into such a situation were all because of him. He owed them both mother and son and could not be saved by death.
Xue Shenzhi mocked: "Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death by me?"
Xiao Xu's face froze, fear flashed in her eyes, and she stepped back.
The next moment, "I...I'm not afraid of death!" Xiao Xu gritted his teeth, his tone not very firm.
She was desperate. Staying in the Xue family would be defiled by Xue Ning'an. When she returned to her parents' home, her brother and sister-in-law would not keep her, and she would definitely sell her. Shuanzi would suffer. It would be different to marry Xue Shenzhi. He owed them and their son, and would definitely not treat them badly. Even if he had the reputation of being a nemesis, he would not live for a few years. She would have to endure Xue Shenzhi to death before he defeated her!
"I want to help you too, but I can't marry you." Xue Shenzhi refused coldly.
Xiao Xu was surprised and accused him, "You! Are you worthy of your elder brother? He handed us to you, but you watched us be ruined by Xue Ning'an! If he knows that underground, he will die with his eyes open!"
"It's just for the sake of my elder brother that I can't agree." Xue Shenzhi looked at Xiao Xu's puzzled gaze and said indifferently: "Sunzi is still young, I'm afraid that his life will not be strong enough and I will be defeated to death."
Xiao Xu was controlled by Xue Shenzhi, and she suddenly became depressed.
Can she survive Xue Shenzhi to death? Shuanzi is so small, can he resist Xue Shenzhi?
What if... Shuanzi's life is tough?
Xue Shenzhi seemed to see through her thoughts, "My sister-in-law brought Shuanzi here to live with me tomorrow, so she can teach him to study."
"No! No need!" Xiao Xu immediately refused!
She can't gamble!
Shuanzi is her lifeblood.
"Shuozi stayed with me for a few days. If we were in peace, I would like to ask Xu..."
"No, no need! I, I haven't thought about it yet. I just suddenly remembered that you can't live for a few years. When you leave, Xue Ning'an will still pester me!" Xiao Xu calmed down, afraid of death. Xue Shenzhi also turned into a beast. She took a few steps back and couldn't stay. "You, give me a few taels of silver every month in the future. I will take Shuanzi to study in the town. Maybe, maybe I can avoid him!"
Xue Shenzhi lowered his eyelids and remained silent for a while, as if he had made up his mind.
"I think my previous proposal is good, and now I'm going to recommend it to Xu..."
"Not allowed to go!"
Xiao Xu stared at her and wanted to bite off a silver teeth. She knew that Xue Shenzhi would not give her money! If he wanted to marry her, he wanted to kill Shuanzi, right?!
There is no need to give Shuanzi money in this way!
"Mom holds a hatred for you in her heart. If you ruin her good deeds, she will beat you to death! Forget it, I don't want the money anymore. I'll think of a solution!" Xiao Xu ran away as if there was a ghost behind him.
Xue Shenzhi had a cold face and was in a bad mood. Xu asked Shuanzi for money on the grounds that he was studying, so he wanted money to marry Xue Ning'an.
He laughed softly, his eyes cold and dark.
"Brother Xue."
Shang Zhi's crisp voice sounded, pulling back Xue Shenzhi's thoughts.
"Are you in the house? I'll give you something."
Shang Zhi stood outside the door. When she heard Xiao Xu's words, she felt embarrassed, which made Xue Shenzhi embarrassed, so she left quietly, pretending that she had never come.
