Chapter 401 Dependence
"Why do I feel like my face is still burning?" When the day turned dark again, Leng Xiaozhi, who was already lying on a hot kang, said pitifully to Shang Zhen.
Shang Zhen tried Leng Xiaozhi's forehead with the back of his hand, and he felt it was hot.
"I'm frozen and caught a cold. There's no medicine. I'll get you some ginger or something." Shang Zhen said.
Leng Xiaozhi pouted and stopped talking.
Shang Zhen and the others were very lucky. When it was dark, they finally met a mountain village and were enthusiastically taken in by a villager. They also found an old lady who could make bones clear in the village.
After the old lady came, she rubbed Leng Xiaozhi's ankles.
It's amazing to say that it's very magical. After rubbing it, Leng Xiaozhi felt that his ankles were not very painful and he dared to walk hard.
Leng Xiaozhi was also very unfortunate. After some trouble last night, he caught a cold after suffering from the wind and cold.
The house is a wing room. Although the house is a bit air-breathing, the kang is burned hot by the owner. For Leng Xiaozhi, who is sleeping outside in the wind and dining and outdoors these days, this place is like a paradise.
After about half an hour, Shang Zhen came back and even held a steaming thick porcelain bowl in his hand.
"There is no ginger here, there is garlic and green onions. Drink boiling water, and you chew the green onions and garlic. I'll go and make you sleep for a night and sweat." Shang Zhen said.
"Where did you get quilts? I feel this family is quite poor." Leng Xiaozhi asked.
"Don't worry, I have a way." Shang Zhen replied.
So Leng Xiaozhi waited in the room with kerosene lamps. After a while, Shang Zhen really came back.
But what was he holding?
In fact, it was stuffed with hay into a rag bag.
But even though she is so cold, she is still moved.
Nowadays, the people in the countryside have only this condition. If there is one or two quilts, how can they have more than enough wealth? Some families are even poorer than one quilt, and the family of five or six people are squeezed into that quilt to sleep. They can’t rob the quilts!
It is said that this is not the poorest, but the poorest one is that the whole family only has a pair of pants, and whoever goes out will wear it!
"I'm sorry, I lost that coat and the photo," Leng Xiaozhi said apologetically.
Shang Zhen glanced at Leng Xiaozhi under the kerosene lamp, which added a hint of blush to Leng Xiaozhi's handsome face.
For some reason, a desire for protection arose in Shang Zhen's heart.
"I asked you to eat onions, garlic and drink boiled water. Have you eaten it?" Shang Zhen asked.
"No, I can't eat it. If you lose your photo, it will cause you a big trouble." Leng Xiaozhi was still apologizing.
"You're so far away, drink the water first." Shang Zhen sat on the edge of the kang and helped Leng Xiaozhi sit up, reached out to grab the rice bowl and fed Leng Xiaozhi water.
Leng Xiaozhi was not pretentious. She chewed a few cloves of garlic, ate half a green onion, and drank the bowl of water before saying to Shang Zhen: "If you turn around, I have to take off my coat."
Shang Zhen quickly turned around when he heard this, and then he felt his heart pounding.
By the time he turned around, Leng Xiaozhi had already crawled under the cloth bag containing grass but only had one head exposed.
"You should take off your clothes and put them on the kang," Leng Xiaozhi said.
Shang Zhen actually carried Leng Xiaozhi on his back along the way. Although Shang Zhen was in good physical strength, he was sweating all over.
"Then why don't you turn over if I take off my clothes?" Shang Zhen asked.
"You are a man, and you are not naked inside." Leng Xiaozhi said disapprovingly.
Shang Zhen really started to take off his cotton jacket and trousers. His cotton pants' legs are still hard now. It was soaked with sweat. The legs are still frozen yet.
Shang Zhen did not take his coat seriously in front of Leng Xiaozhi.
He is a veteran, so he is not that pretentious. Besides, as Wang Xiaozhi said, he is not naked inside, and he has all his shirts and underwear.
But when Shang Zhen took off his clothes, he subconsciously turned his head and saw Leng Xiaozhi's shining eyes under the kerosene lamp.
After all, Shang Zhen felt a little embarrassed. He said, "Blow up the light and remove the wax", blew out the kerosene lamp and jumped onto the kang.
He and Leng Xiaozhi have not been asleep for a day and a night, and he also needs rest.
But as soon as Shang Zhen lay on the kang, Leng Xiaozhi spoke: "When I first met you, you were as thin as a pole, and now you look much better than before."
"You've caught a cold and are not sleeping honestly, why are you still chatting?" Shang Zhen said to her.
"Then he just wants to talk." Leng Xiaozhi replied.
"Oh, then tell me, I'll fall asleep in a while." Shang Zhen said, but got up again, pressing his cotton coat and trousers onto the straw bag of Leng Xiaozhi's lid.
"Thank you, I'm just feeling cold." Leng Xiaozhi was moved by Shang Zhen's behavior.
"Everyone is cold if you have a fever, then you are lying on the hot kang now, why are you still cold?" Shang Zhen asked again.
"The sky is full of ice and fire, the bottom is so hot, and the top is so cold!" Leng Xiaozhi replied.
Shang Zhen snorted "Oh" and lay down again, then said, "I really want to go to bed this time. If you want to be happy, just say whatever you want."
"Just talk to me for a while." Leng Xiaozhi said pitifully.
"You are really a lie. I have been carrying you for a day. Am I not tired?" Shang Zhen replied.
"Oh, I forgot, then I'll tell you to listen." Leng Xiao then remembered that Shang Zhen had been walking on his back for a day.
Shang Zhen said "Oh" and stopped responding this time, while Leng Xiaozhi really continued to speak on his own.
"You said you're going back? I promised to be with you for three lifetimes. If you don't be with me in this life, wouldn't I still owe you for three lifetimes?"
"I don't know how Qian Chuaner and Xiaojuaner and the others are doing? Why did they suddenly stop trusting me?"
"Xiaojuan likes you very much at the beginning. He didn't tell me clearly, but I can see that, but why did she fall in love with Qian Chuaner?
Every time she and Qian Chuaner are together, she will say that she is with you and she will be angry with me on purpose, which will make me angry!”
"Qian Chuaner, Xiaojuan and the others should be fine. If they have something to do, they should have fired, but they didn't shoot. Why are there no one left?"
“You don’t know how much I like you.
It turns out that you saved my life, I just felt that I owe you a life, but if I owe this life too much, I feel that I will be yours in this life.
Even if I meet a man I like more, I will definitely marry you first. If I like more, it will be my fourth life, because I gave it to you in the first three lives."
"But when we meet again this time, I feel that you are much more handsome than before, and your ability has become better. When I think of you, my heart will be thunderous. Is this love?
You don’t know how sad I feel when Xiaojuan lied and said she was with you!”
"When I was at home, I was the one who took charge of many things. When I was with Xiaojuan, I was the one who took charge of everything, but they didn't know. In fact, I really hope that someone could take care of me, and I would never have to rack my brains every day to think about it."
Leng Xiaozhi said in a daze, saying wherever he thought, as if he was a nagging little old lady, and it seemed that she had a very strong fever and had already started talking nonsense.
At this time, due to a fever, she felt her forehead become hot, and even his consciousness was a little unconscious.
I don’t know how long it took, just as Leng Xiaozhi was about to fall asleep, a man’s big hand reached under the straw bag and held her little hand.
The big hand was so warm and powerful that Leng Xiaozhi felt a sense of security when he was nagging. Finally, she said, "I have poked you with Ma Gan'er. You are mine. You are not allowed to look for other women in the future.
But you said that if I don’t marry me, you won’t marry me. If you dare to lie to me, you will see that I won’t kill you at that time!”
After saying this, Leng Xiaozhi finally fell asleep in a drowsy way.
The night outside the house is quiet. Perhaps on this cold winter night, there are still many people who are cold and hungry outside for some reason, but Leng Xiaozhi can finally sleep on this hot earthen kang.
