When Gu Qiancheng woke up, he found himself lying on an earthen bed, covered with a "quilt" made of straw. Let's call it a quilt, because Gu Qiancheng couldn't think of anything like this.
What do you call something that smells sour?
Lifting the "quilt" on his body, Gu Qiancheng got out of bed and looked around. He found that this was an ordinary mud house, about five square meters in size. There was a very small window on the south side, which allowed the sunlight to shine in.
.
Seeing the scene in front of her, Gu Qiancheng knew that she had been rescued. However, the person who rescued her seemed unreliable. She was still wearing the clothes she had worn when she fell into the water, but now she had been covered dry.
"I have dried my wet clothes. I haven't caught a cold yet. I have indeed become stronger." Gu Qiancheng shook the clothes on his body that looked like dried pickles and laughed in a good mood.
After she fell into the water, she just swam downstream with the current. She didn't know how long she swam. Anyway, when she was exhausted, she seemed to be caught in some net. She couldn't struggle out, but fainted from exhaustion. She thought she was dead.
, I didn’t expect to be rescued.
If you survive the catastrophe, you will be blessed later.
Gu Qiancheng tidied up a little and was about to go out to see who saved her. But before she could go out, she saw a lame man coming in with a bowl of hot soup.
"Girl, are you awake?" The man quickly lowered his head when he saw Gu Qiancheng.
The man looked to be in his mid-twenties, with a handsome appearance like a scholar, but his face was a little pale, his body was thin, and his left foot was slightly lame. It was not obvious when he was standing there, but it was obvious when he walked.
The man was wearing a blue cloth that had been washed white. There were no patches on the clothes, and they were washed very clean. However, when talking to Gu Qiancheng, he kept his head down, as if he was not used to meeting strangers.
When Gu Qiancheng saw his suspected savior, he couldn't help but smile and said softly: "Did you save me?"
"Yes, I went fishing in the morning and accidentally hit a girl." The man was a little embarrassed and kept his head down when he spoke. After being stunned for a long time, he hurriedly handed the hot fish soup in front of Gu Qiancheng.
, "Girl, this is freshly brewed fish steam, you drink it."
"Thank you," Gu Qiancheng took the bowl, but did not drink it in a hurry. He seemed to ask casually, "I wonder how long I have been asleep?"
The man seemed very nervous, rubbed the corner of his clothes, and then said: "The girl fainted and fell asleep all day and night."
"I actually slept for so long?" Gu Qiancheng looked surprised, his hand holding the fish soup tightened slightly, and his long eyelashes gently drooped to hide the doubt in his eyes.
One day and one night?
If she is a fool, can her wet clothes be dried in a day and night? Can her boots be dried?
Even if the other party burned the kang to dry her clothes, what about the boots?
The man did not speak, but tugged at his clothes nervously, as if he didn't know how to get along with Gu Qiancheng. Gu Qiancheng did not press any further, but said, "The fish soup is a bit hot. I'll let it cool before drinking it."
"Girl, it's up to you." The lame man left these words and hurried out, looking like he was not good at getting along with women.
Gu Qiancheng didn't try to stop him, but just kept staring at his back: This man is weird, but he can't say what's weird about him, he just feels very uncomfortable.
After the man went out, Gu Qiancheng put the fish soup on the earthen table, walked to the window and looked out. Gu Qiancheng was dumbfounded by this look.
As far as she could see, there were no homes nearby, just patches of loess. It didn't look like she was in a village, nor did it look like the fish village she had been to before.
She only swam for one night, so it's logically impossible for her to swim out of Daqin, right?
Gu Qiancheng felt suspicious, not because she was seriously ill, but because the person who saved her was really strange.
Although the room she stayed in was not messy, it was quite dirty, and the "quilt" she had just covered had a rotten smell, which was in stark contrast to the clean clothes on the lame man's body.
The lame man said he was a fisherman, but when he just handed her the fish soup, Gu Qiancheng could clearly see the other person's fair hands. It is impossible for someone who fishes in the river all year round to have fair hands.
What's more, the lame man obviously lied. She was definitely not only in a coma for a day, but he also didn't burn the kang to dry her clothes.
She just saw that the bed under the kang was made of straw. If the kang was really burned, the straw would have a smell, and the "quilt" covering her body would not smell sour.
All kinds of doubts made Gu Qiancheng very uneasy, but what made her most uneasy was that there was only one family here, and if she was killed, no one would know about it.
You can't stay here any longer.
Gu Qiancheng untied his coat and found that the banknotes and pieces of silver he had wrapped in wax paper were still there, and the medicine powder had not been washed away. He knew that the lame man had really thrown her on the bed after rescuing her.
Already.
Although Gu Qiancheng suspected that there was something wrong with the lame man, she had no evidence now, and the man had indeed saved her, so Gu Qiancheng took out a five hundred tael silver note from the banknote hidden close to his body and pressed it under the bowl.
This is her way of repaying the other person for saving his life.
If the other party is a person with a pure mind, five hundred taels of silver is enough to live a good life.
Gu Qiancheng put on his boots, stood at the door and took a look, and found that the other party was in the kitchen across the door. Gu Qiancheng no longer hesitated and walked out quietly, but...
As soon as she went out, she was blocked by a fat woman. The woman was at least as big as five Gu Qiancheng. She was gambling all the way just standing there.
The fat woman held a wooden board in her hand and looked at Gu Qiancheng with an unkind expression. "You really want to run away."
He raised his hand and threw the board at Gu Qiancheng. Fortunately, Gu Qiancheng reacted quickly and ran away.
"Who are you?" Gu Qiancheng lost his dagger and all the arrows in his sleeves were used up. Facing the wooden board that the fat woman kept swinging at, Gu Qiancheng could only dodge.
"Young master is right, the more beautiful a woman is, the badder she is. You are a bad woman who deceives the young man's feelings." The fat woman is very strong. Although she cannot compare with people like Tang Wanjin who are born with supernatural powers, the huge wooden board is
She danced with great vigor, and she didn't feel tired even after a long time.
"What a bad woman, I haven't committed murder or arson yet." Gu Qiancheng punched the fat woman. His hand hurt from the punch, but the fat woman didn't even move.
Holy shit, being fat has such benefits.
Seeing this, Gu Qiancheng stopped bothering and planned to climb over the wall, but as soon as she turned around, she was blocked by a lame man. "You are the first person who saw my lameness and didn't show any abnormality. I didn't want to kill her at first.
You, I wanted to keep you as my wife, but you are so smart, you actually found out."
The lame man looked at Gu Qiancheng with a regretful look on his face, his dark eyes making Gu Qiancheng's hair stand on end, "What did I find?"
Gu Qiancheng retreated behind the wall and looked at the lame man and fat woman warily...
Damn it, she thought there was something wrong with this man, and sure enough...
Any nervousness or embarrassment is just a pretense, this is the true face of a man.
