"This is indeed a life-saving thing." Ah Hao sighed with surprise on his face while holding the medicine box.
Qi Yue said.
"Well, as you know, there is nothing you can do when you are a beggar. You have no money, you are beaten and bitten by wild dogs, and you have to rely on yourself. After a long period of illness, you can cure it." She rubbed her hands and said, "So
My grandmother always carried this thing with her to treat me and other beggars, and gradually I learned how to do it."
"Yes, otherwise the young lady saved the old lady's life back then." Ah Hao nodded seriously and looked at Qi Yue with admiration on his face.
Seeing her unsuspecting smile, Qi Yue felt a little embarrassed. At the same time, she was thankful for her luck. Qi Yueniang really knew medicine before and had saved an old lady's life. This was well known to everyone.
Let her have a buffer so that the lies she makes up will not appear too blind.
Thinking of this, Qi Yue couldn't help but glance at A Ru.
Ah Ru was also looking at her, and after listening to Ah Hao's words, he lowered his head.
"We're all tired, Aru, go and take a rest." Qi Yue said.
"Young Madam, it is your duty as a slave to serve the Young Madam. How can you lose your duty for the sake of outsiders?" Aru lowered his head and said, "Serving the Young Madam, please take care of yourself."
Qi Yue nodded as her body was sticky.
"I'm going to boil water for cooking." Ah Hao said, carefully wiping the medical kit clean and wrapping it in a cloth. He put it back on Qi Yue's bed, covered it with a quilt, and then went out with satisfaction.
During the meal, both Qi Yue and A Ru were somewhat silent, but A Hao was so happy that he couldn't help but chatter about how to save A Ru's brother.
"There's so much blood. Aren't you scared at all, Madam? I'm scared to death..."
"... Young Madam, if it doesn't hurt when you sew clothes, does it really not hurt when you sew people? But it will still hurt if my hand is pricked by a needle?"
Qi Yue just laughed when she asked her question and responded vaguely.
"Young Madam..." Ah Hao spoke again, but was interrupted by Ah Ru.
"You forgot the rules again." Aru glared and said, "Young madam, you are eating, how can you talk so much?"
Ah Hao stuck out her tongue and quietly served Qi Yue to eat. After eating, they cleaned up and sat down in the small kitchen to eat the rest.
"Sister, the young lady is so amazing..." Ah Hao still looked excited while holding up the bowl, "She is not afraid at all with so much blood..."
After saying this, she held up her chopsticks and forgot to eat.
"Hey, sister, have you walked through the road of Huangquan so you are not afraid of anything anymore?" she said in a low voice.
Ah Ru, who had been silent all this time, put down the bowls and chopsticks hard, making Ah Hao lower his head in fear.
"I won't talk anymore." She said hurriedly.
"Not only are you not allowed to say anything today, you are also not allowed to say anything in the future." Aru said with a serious face.
"Why?" Ah Hao asked in confusion, "Young Madam is so powerful..."
"Young Madam Jin, we know that the young Madam is the younger brother whom the Bodhisattva deigned to treat as a slave. What about the others? They were always talking about the Young Madam behind her back, but now that you are shouting about it all over the courtyard, they are pointing the finger.
Maybe there is something else to say." Aru said, "Madam originally didn't like the young lady's background, and privately said that she was a bitch, why should we add fuel to the fire and make people say that the young lady only goes after us?
The servants, servants, show their care to you."
Ah Hao nodded.
"Yes, I have written it down, and I will definitely not tell anyone else." She said solemnly.
Aru looked at her and nodded, her expression softening.
"Eat quickly, you are exhausted today." She said, "Thank you, Ah Hao, you don't know what I felt in my heart when I saw the young lady and you appear..."
Her eyes were red when she said this, and her voice was choked with sobs and she couldn't speak.
Ah Hao also shed tears.
"Good sister, please stop talking. I'm almost scared to death. Thanks to Madam You this time, I didn't expect that she would come to us in person to ask for the cards, and she didn't dare to reply to what those women said...
..You don’t know that I was so anxious at that time. I remembered that when your parents were away, you knelt outside Mama Su’s door for a whole day and a whole night... It was a snowy day and you almost died. What happened now?
The root cause of the disease...I was really scared at the time, really afraid that if you continued to kneel like this, your legs would be useless..." As she spoke, she cried harder than Aru.
"Stop crying, otherwise you will worry if the young lady hears it." A'ru hurriedly advised, pulling her up to wipe her tears, "So we must keep the young lady's kindness in our hearts, do things well, and never
Caused trouble for her, the young lady is in this house, there is no one else..."
Ah Hao nodded with a tight mouth.
"Okay, let's finish cleaning up soon. Go to bed early and get up early. We still have a lot of work to do tomorrow." Aru said with a smile through tears.
When the night was deep, Aru stood at the window of his house and looked outside.
"Young lady, haven't you slept yet?" Ah Hao asked as he turned over on the bed.
Ah Ru hummed.
"Sister, the young lady is afraid of sleeping alone, so she keeps the light on, right?" Ah Hao muttered on the bed, but she soon denied it to herself, "The young lady dares to put stitches on people, what else?
scared…"
She was chirping, but Aru didn't listen.
"The young lady used to have us two accompany her before she dared to sleep, but now she doesn't accompany either of us... It's really different from before..." Ah Hao muttered and yawned.
Aru sighed, turned away and went to bed by the window.
That's not the only difference...
"..Well, don't you think what the young lady said is a little strange? She drank Meng Po soup, why didn't she forget everything? She didn't remember the things we remembered, and we never remembered the things we didn't know.
Those, she..." A'ru bit her lower lip and whispered, "She can cook, and she can also treat diseases... these young ladies have never mentioned it before..."
Ah Hao had already fallen asleep in a daze.
"The young lady didn't tell us before..." she mumbled.
"Besides, don't you think that the young lady has changed a lot, she loves to laugh, talk and speaks boldly..." Aru asked again.
"The young madam may have been like this before. She has forgotten the present and only remembers the past. We don't know her past...Sister, I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep first..." Ah Hao muttered and turned over to face inward and stopped talking.
Ah Ru looked at her helplessly. After a while, Ah Hao was already snoring slightly. He only wore a bellyband because half of Tan Liang's snow-white arms were exposed.
"It's okay, I don't think about anything. It's actually quite good." Aru sighed, smiled, got up, helped her put up the thin sheet, blew out the lamp and went to sleep.
At this time, Qi Yue was still sitting in front of the desk staring at the dim candlelight in a daze, with her own medicine box in front of her.
She sighed and changed her hand to hold her chin.
"Why on earth did I come here?" She said to herself, frowning, "I'm really not used to it. Am I going to be trapped in this yard for the rest of my life? Really... what's the point of living here!"
She scratched her head with both hands, messed up her long black hair, and looked at "herself" in the mirror in Sadako's pose.
She has a father, mother, family and friends, a skilled job, a circle that she has lived in for more than 20 years, and habits that are deeply rooted in her bones. She has complained countless times about the heavy work, the pressure to support her family, and disputes between friends, colleagues, and lovers.
I have said that I am bored to death countless times, but no matter whether I like it or worry about everything, those days that were once ordinary and boring suddenly really disappeared, and my soul was thrown into such a strange place alone, living in
Living a completely different life in the body of a stranger...
Qi Yue hit her head heavily on the table.
This was the first time Qi Yue had insomnia since coming here. When Aru came over the next day and saw Qi Yue lying in front of the mirror, she was shocked.
"Madam, what's wrong with you?" she shouted hurriedly.
"I'm fine..." Qi Yue raised her head and said dryly.
There was nothing wrong with this haggard and listless look. Aru felt worried and sad at the same time.
"Young madam, it's all slaves who are dragging me down..." she choked and said.
"Oh, it's really none of your business." Qi Yue stood up, stretched, and smiled at her, "I just didn't sleep all night, and I feel a little... maybe I have lost my memory. I am just not used to it.
"
A'ru looked at her and finally couldn't help but gritted her teeth and asked her doubts.
"Young Madam, why do you forget what we remember, but what you remember is what we don't know?" she asked.
Yes, why? Qi Yue stretched out her hands and rubbed her face. One lie had to be answered by a thousand lies. She was really fed up!
"I don't know," she simply breathed out and looked at Aru and said, "Maybe the days spent here with you are all bad memories. So I simply forgot the bad memories and only remembered the good ones.
memory."
Aru's face turned pale.
"Young madam, you can just talk about this in the room," she said hurriedly.
Qi Yue laughed.
"Young madam, don't think so much. When the prince comes back, your illness will be cured, and then..." Aru said softly.
"How about that then?" Qi Yue turned to look at her.
A'ru was suddenly speechless when she saw her. She thought about how she and the young lady had been waiting eagerly at the door during the holidays for the past three years, hoping that someone would come over, but their expectations failed time and time again, day by day.
I sewed clothes and shoes day and night, and packed them in boxes year after year...
"Young madam, the prince has not seen how good you are yet. If you are so good, the prince will definitely..." She couldn't help the tears falling and choked.
Isn't he just a man? If he can't live with his master and servant, he can't live without him. He can't live without him. As for that.
Of course, he would never say this out loud, but would say some nice words to comfort him, and repeatedly promised that he would make the prince see how good he was and live with him wholeheartedly. Only then did Aru wipe his tears and smile.
"Young Madam, if you think this way, it's not in vain that Old Madam loves you." She said.
Qi Yue smiled and nodded, yes, yes, let's take it one step at a time, but no matter what, she was living a good life. Thinking of this, she cheered up again. Maybe it wouldn't be long before she woke up and came back.
In modern times, today's life is like a dream.
"Okay, let's eat. What delicious food did Chef Ah Hao cook today?" Qi Yue said.
"Fried fruit and white fungus porridge." Ah Hao came in with a plate and shouted back.
"Okay...but, okay, can't we eat this good food every day?"
"Ah, Madam, have you thought of something delicious again? Please teach me..."
