After the female ghost was dealt with, there was no more trouble for the night.
Sleeping until dawn, Chu Daya had no idea that she almost died last night.
However, when I got up, I found a piece of cloth on my forehead. I sat up and held the piece of cloth and thought about it for a while, but I didn't understand what was going on.
When Jia Zhengjin got up, she curiously raised the cloth and asked, "Brother Shunzi, what is this?"
"Oh!" Looking at the cloth strip in her hand, Jia Zhengjin replied, "You had a high fever last night, so I dipped the cloth strip in cold water to help you cool down."
While talking, he went over and put the back of his right hand against Chu Daya's forehead.
"I don't even remember..." Chu Daya looked confused.
"Of course I don't remember. You were so horribly burned that you were unconscious." Jia Zhengjin took back his right hand, "Fortunately, it's no problem now. Next time, remember not to wash clothes at night. The weather is cold and the water is cold. It's easy.
Sick."
"Thank you, Brother Shunzi!" Chu Daya lowered her head in embarrassment, "I have caused you trouble..."
"Why don't you ask Wang Xu for a day off and rest at home today?" Jia Zhengjin asked.
Of course, I thought it was best to send it to Wang Xu, otherwise the treasure would be more troublesome.
"No!" Fortunately, Chu Daya didn't agree, "I don't have anything to do now. I woke up in good spirits."
Seeing Chu Daya acting very active in front of him to prove that everything was normal, Jia Zhengjin thought to himself that he was almost killed by a female ghost last night, but don't tell you about this matter: "Are you sure you want to go to school?"
"Well! Thanks to Brother Shunzi, I don't feel any discomfort now. Besides, how can we, children from poor families, be so particular?" Chu Daya said sensibly, "Brother Shunzi has to work hard to cut firewood and give it to Mrs. Wang.
, to replace my Shu Xiu. Don’t say I’m okay now, I have to go even if I’m sick.”
"Okay! I'm very happy that you can think so." Jia Zhengjin was actually afraid that she would agree to rest at home, and now he wouldn't have that trouble.
Of course, the female ghost last night made him feel a little worried.
Where did that female ghost come from? Why did she enter Niu Shun's home?
Why didn't she attack her incarnation Niu Shun, but instead picked on Chu Daya?
The female ghost has been eliminated, will other ghosts appear?
Chu Daya must not get into trouble now, otherwise the whole village's attention will be diverted to him. How will he continue to execute the plan and win the gamble with Niu Xi?
But you have to focus on the gambling game, and you can't be distracted.
After much deliberation, I had to ask Nuwa for help.
With Nuwa looking after Chu Daya, even if she encounters danger, she can notify him in time and teleport him there.
Besides, when it is inconvenient for you to come forward, you can also send Huo'er to save others.
After breakfast, I personally sent Chu Daya to Wang Xu's home, and other children in the village also arrived.
Wang Xu and his wife were still having breakfast, two bowls of noodles.
Jia Zhengjin didn't bother him and told Chu Daya to study hard and try to avoid arguing and quarreling with other classmates before going home and waiting for Niu Xi.
There was still a while before the time agreed with Niu Xi to go up the mountain, and he was having dinner at home.
When preparing the hatchet, Niu Xi's father Niu Bao unexpectedly came over.
"Uncle Bao?" Jia Zhengjin was a little surprised, "Is something wrong?"
Since Niu Bao applied the golden sore medicine and took Qubing Pills, he no longer looked as sick as before.
The whole person looks good and walks like flying.
When he came to Jia Zhengjin, he said directly: "Shunzi, I want to inquire about something."
"About Xizi?"
"Yes! Don't worry, he is still eating, it will take a while." Niu Bao said softly, "Let's talk in the house?"
"Oh~" Jia Zhengjin did not refuse, and invited Niu Bao to enter the thatched house, and the two sat down at the table.
"Shunzi! You are the most honest child in our village, and everyone knows this." Niu Bao sat down and looked at his face, "You have to tell me the truth, what's going on with Xizi recently? I always feel something is wrong.
! When he goes up the mountain with you every day, is he really chopping firewood? Or is he doing other things in the name of chopping firewood? Don’t cover for him, tell him honestly. In case he is doing something dangerous
, you have to help uncle stop it."
It turned out that Niu Bao was worried about his son. He didn't go out to fool around these days. He went up the mountain to cut firewood and carried it home every day. It was unbelievable.
Ever since he was young, Niu Xi has never been this kind of person. He was used to the daily life of that disobedient son, and this sudden change made Niu Bao even more uneasy.
Could it be that the traitor bullied Niu Shun's honesty, and actually did some shameful things by going to the mountains with him to chop wood, and then asked Niu Shun to chop wood for him to hide it from the villagers?
That traitor can do anything.
So what happened? Seeing the worried look in Niu Bao's eyes, Jia Zhengjin suddenly realized: "Uncle Bao, you are worrying too much! Xizi was indeed cutting firewood with me and did not do anything else dangerous. Look, I don't
As for lying, right?"
"You won't lie to others, I believe that. But I can't tell for that boy." Niu Bao asked again in a low voice, "He really didn't do anything else? Did he chop the firewood himself?"
"Uncle Bao, do you think I am so capable that I chop twice as much firewood every day?" Jia Zhengjin said, "Xizi chops it all by himself."
"That's not right! How could that traitor be like this?" Niu Bao couldn't believe it, "Am I just dreaming?"
"Uncle Bao, in fact, although Xizi quarrels with you every day, it seems that the relationship between father and son is not harmonious. But in fact, he is still very worried about you." Jia Zhengjin said softly, "Just like the previous fairy medicine, after he got it, he would not
Bring it back immediately and let you take it? Otherwise, how could you be as lively and vigorous as you are now? I heard that the medicine is worth a thousand catties of gold, and it will take him a long, long time to sell it. But Xizi did not do that, and instead sold such valuable immortality to
I gave you the medicine directly. This filial piety is very clear. It’s just that your father and son’s way of communicating is quite special, so it’s difficult to express it honestly.”
"..." After hearing this, Niu Bao remembered the scene when his son gave him medicine that day. Although he was still cursing, the purpose was indeed to give him the medicine.
Just as Niu Shun said, the boy hated himself on the surface, but in fact he still valued his father very much. If he was really a bastard, he could just take the elixir to the county and sell it for money, and still give it to himself?
Thinking of this, my heart felt a little warm.
Looking at "Niu Shun" in front of him, he said with emotion: "Although I don't know exactly why, Xizi can change like this. But I am quite relieved that he doesn't associate with those messy guys. Besides, he still follows you, Shunzi."
Cutting firewood is even more rare! Shunzi, can I trouble you with something?"
"Don't mention it. It's not troublesome. Just say it." Jia Zhengjin responded in a calm tone.
"Xizi has been with you recently. When he was chopping firewood in the mountains, you should talk to him more and stop associating with those bad friends. Also, if he can learn from you, I will definitely be grateful!"
"Uncle, don't worry! As long as Xizi goes up the mountain with us, I will help him turn back."
