The woman on the bed groaned, her thick and neat eyebrows were tightly knit together, her neat and white teeth bit her lower lip tightly, her head shook from time to time, her expression looked very painful.

So fishy.

A strange liquid poured into the lungs, causing a revulsion to the stomach that had been empty for many days.

Lin Jiao felt extremely uncomfortable.

"elder sister?"

The little girl kneeling in front of the bed removed the fish soup, stretched out the back of her hand and measured the forehead of the woman on the bed, a little worried, "Sister?"

She saw that the person on the bed was not moving, but the fear in her heart was even worse than before.

This beautiful sister is not going to die of illness, is she?She finally looked forward to someone coming, but she couldn't die.

"Sister, wait for me, I'll get you a doctor right away."

The little girl looked around the things in the room, but found nothing valuable, bit her lip, and took out the cloth bag hidden in the crack of the wall.

Inside the cloth bag was an emerald bracelet and a swaddle made of silk.

This is the only valuable thing left to her by her parents, and it is said that it has something to do with her life experience.

She took out the bracelet, put it on her wrist, and held it in front of her face. The sunlight came in through the broken window, and spots of light flowed on it. It looked really beautiful.

She stared at the bracelet obsessively, as if she could see the appearance of her biological mother from inside.

She really couldn't figure out what her mother did. Looking at the piece of silk, she knew that her mother was not poor and would not be able to support her, so why did she abandon her?

Since he didn't want her anymore, why did he put this bracelet on her hand again, leaving a mark, waiting for her to go back and recognize each other?

The little girl took off the bracelet, stuffed it into her bosom, went out, and walked towards the medical center in the town.

***

When the little boy in the hospital saw the little girl, he immediately picked up the broom under the eaves and started sweeping it up.

The little girl was ashamed before entering the hospital.

But this is not the first time she has been treated like this. She stood at the gate without making noise, staring at the little boy, which made him a little embarrassed.

The little boy stopped, stopped at the door, and said impatiently: "Jiang Xiaoyu, why are you here again? We don't welcome broom stars here."

"I'm here to ask your master for a visit."

"Ask my master to see you?" Xiao Tong seemed to have heard some big joke.

"Yes, please accommodate me."

Xiaotong's eyes fixed on Jiang Xiaoyu's pale washed clothes covered with patches, and he sneered, "Can you afford the consultation fee?"

"Don't look down on people. If I don't have money, how can I hire a doctor?" Jiang Xiaoyu replied confidently.

Strange.

The little boy leaned against the door frame and stretched out a hand, "Where is the silver?"

"Go and call your master, and I will show you."

The little boy struggled for a while, and ran to the backyard to call the doctor who was drying the herbs.

Jiang Xiaoyu walked into the medical hall and smelled the aroma of herbs inside, feeling even more regretful in his heart.

If she had known that she had such an extraordinary jade bracelet, how could she have watched her parents being dragged to death because they couldn't afford the medicinal materials?

The door curtain was lifted, and an old man with white beard and hair came in, looked at Jiang Xiaoyu, and asked, "Girl Jiang, I heard that you are here for a doctor's consultation? But the old man looked at your complexion and didn't notice anything unusual." ah?"

Jiang Xiaoyu shook his head hastily, "Grandpa Langzhong, it's not me who is sick, it's my sister who is seriously ill. Come and see me."

"Seeing a doctor and saving lives is the duty of a doctor, but Jiang girl, have you brought any money?"

"No, no." Jiang Xiaoyu wiped the skirt with sticky palms.

She still has some expectations for her biological mother, and she is not very willing to give up the bracelet.

"You damn girl, you lied to me again!"

The little boy picked up the broom and was about to beat Jiang Xiaoyu, cursing: "You don't have any money, how dare you come to hire a doctor? How dare you lie to the uncle?"

The old man also shook his head, "Girl Jiang, let's go back, there was a flood a while ago, and there is no harvest this year, everyone will suffer, it's not that the old man is cruel.

Besides, how can there be any medicine in this small fishing village?You don't have to beg the old man here, you'd better go home and accompany your sister on the last journey. "

After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and left. Jiang Xiaoyu quickly grabbed him, took out the bracelet from his arms, and begged, "Grandpa, do you think this consultation fee is enough?"

When the old man took the bracelet, he was a little disapproving at first, but his expression became more serious later on.

"Where did you get this bracelet?"

"Grandpa, can the price of this bracelet invite you to see a doctor for my sister?"

"Enough is enough." The old man put the bracelet into his arms and nodded with a smile.

The bracelet is of good quality and the head of the water is good. After a while, when the foreign merchant's ship docks, he will sell it to those merchants with yellow hair and blue eyes. It can be exchanged for a lot of silver. Carry forward.

Jiang Xiaoyu picked up the medical kit and urged, "Then let's go."

***

Not long after Jiang Xiaoyu left, Lin Jiao woke up.

The layout of the house was very unfamiliar to her eyes, and she couldn't see where it was at all.

The throat is dry and astringent and needs moisture very much.

She sat up straight with difficulty, intending to get out of bed to find some soup to drink, but she never thought that her legs were weak and unable to move at all.

What's wrong with her?

Lin Jiao tapped her calf with her hand, but found that she didn't feel anything on her leg.

Is her leg broken?

This is impossible, why is she still alive?It's better to let her die than to live like this.

She beat her legs hard, wishing she could remove them with a knife.

"Sister! What are you doing?"

As soon as Jiang Xiaoyu came home, he saw Lin Jiao's self-abandonment scene, and immediately threw away the medical box and rushed over to stop the other party's movements.

Lin Jiao looked at the girl who suddenly ran out in front of her, and was a little puzzled, "Who are you?"

"Sister, I'm Xiaoyu, I picked you up from the water." Jiang Xiaoyu held her down, and said to the old man, "Can you ask the doctor to treat my sister?"

The old man put his hand on Lin Jiao's wrist to feel his pulse. After holding it for a long time, his face was very solemn.

Jiang Xiaoyu was frightened, worried that Lin Jiao would also be terminally ill, so her voice was weak, "Doctor, what's wrong with my sister?"

The old man glanced at Lin Jiao, and said with a smile: "It's just a high fever after soaking in the water for a long time. For a minor ailment, I'll prescribe a medicine for her, boil three bowls of water into one bowl of water, and take it once in the morning, at noon and in the evening. You can stop taking the medicine after three days."

Jiang Xiaoyu begged the old man to prescribe a prescription, and thanked him: "Thank you doctor, thank you doctor."

After the old man finished writing the prescription, he dragged Jiang Xiaoyu outside.

"Girl Jiang, let me tell you the truth, your sister is not suffering from a common disease, it's probably a plague. We don't have good medicinal materials in this remote village, and your sister probably only has three to five days to live."

Jiang Xiaoyu didn't expect the accident to happen so quickly, so he vetoed it: "You're talking nonsense, didn't you just say that it's a minor ailment, and it can be cured after taking medicine for three days?"

"Girl Jiang, this old man has been practicing medicine for 60 years. When did I miss him? Do I need to lie to you, little baby? I didn't say it in it just now, but I just wanted the patient to spend the last few days happily."

The old man stroked his beard and put the bracelet back into Jiang Xiaoyu's hand, "Girl, I don't want this bracelet anymore, you'd better go to a pawn shop in the town to pawn it, and buy a better coffin for some money and come back."

"I don't believe it. How could she be dying at such a young age?" Jiang Xiaoyu grabbed the old man's medical box and questioned, "How could there be a plague? You must have lied to me."

"You girl, it rained heavily for five consecutive days when the king ascended the throne, and how many villages were flooded? How many dead people were soaked in the water? There was a plague in the city, and the city was closed. Fortunately, Our village is far away, so we avoided it.

Let me tell you, don't make a fuss about the one in your house, when she dies, you can pour tung oil on her body and burn her body, otherwise it will affect how many people..."

What else did the old man say, Jiang Xiaoyu didn't listen anymore, and hurried home.

Is such a good-looking sister going to die?

She pushed open the wooden door suddenly, and something blocked her back. When she took a closer look, the person sitting on the ground was pale.

"I really got the plague?"

Lin Jiao has practiced martial arts for many years, and her hearing is extraordinary. Although the old man wanted to avoid her, he still couldn't guard against her.

Jiang Xiaoyu helped Lin Jiao up, and pretended to be disdainful: "Sister, don't believe what he said, that person is a magic stick in our village, and his words can't be taken seriously."

Lin Jiao lay back on the bed again, stared at Jiang Xiaoyu for a moment, and suddenly said: "You smile so ugly, cry if you want, isn't it just death, there is nothing to be afraid of."

She didn't want to live anyway.

"Sister! Don't talk nonsense, let's drink some soup." Jiang Xiaoyu brought over the previous bowl of fish soup, and carefully fed it to Lin Jiao's mouth, "It's the first time I caught such a big fish, what a coincidence I picked up my sister that day, and my sister is really Xiaoyu's lucky star. Would you like to taste it?"

Lin Jiao saw that Jiang Xiaoyu had a yellow face and was looking at her with big eyes shining brightly. It was hard to refuse the other party's kindness, so she took a sip.

The soup entered her stomach, and the fishy smell from before rose again, overwhelming her stomach.

After Jiang Xiaoyu left, she got out of bed, hugged the tree trunk and threw up.

Lin Jiao was recuperating on the bed, and Jiang Xiaoyu went out to fish during the day. Although she was small, she was a good fisherman. It has to be handed over to the government, and very few can really be brought home.

Jiang Xiaoyu used to live alone, which was okay, but now that there is one more person in the family, he is still a patient who only spends money but can't earn money, so the family's expenses have increased a lot, and he has to stay up late at night to mend fishing nets. Take it to the town to exchange for silver during the day, and then buy some supplements and come back.

Lin Jiao persuaded her for a long time, but seeing that she couldn't get rid of it, she had to let the other party go. What she was looking forward to now was to be relieved sooner, and not to drag the little girl in front of her any longer.

After dinner that day, Jiang Xiaoyu carried Lin Jiao into the courtyard, and mended the fishing nets under the bright moonlight.

Jiang Xiaoyu was in a good mood, he kept moving his hands, and hummed cheerfully, asking about Lin Jiao's condition from time to time.

Lin Jiao leaned back on the chair and looked at this immature girl with some curiosity in her heart.Based on her observations in the past two days, she probably guessed that Jiang Xiaoyu was in a difficult situation, so she really couldn't figure out why the other party took her in?

"Little fish, you and I are not relatives, why are you so kind to me?"

Jiang Xiaoyu didn't even look up, "Because you look good."

"Just for this reason?" The little girl is capable and smart, not like a superficial person.

Lin Jiao didn't quite believe it, "Is there nothing else?"

Jiang Xiaoyu put down the tools in his hand, turned around to face Lin Jiao, and said very seriously: "Because I am too lonely by myself, I want to have an older sister or younger sister who lives with me and can talk to me .”

Loneliness can really kill people.

People in the village didn't like her, saying that she was the lone star of the devil, and she was not allowed to live in the village, so she lived alone on the mountain.She goes to work every day, whether it is morning or night, she is alone.She seldom speaks, and over time even has difficulty in pronunciation. She is really afraid that she will degenerate into a primitive animal one day.

She spoke to the animals in the mountains, but the animals could not understand her words or her feelings, and she wanted to get a response.

She wants a home.

"where is your family?"

"They all died, got sick, we couldn't raise money and couldn't buy medicine, and they were dragged to death."

"I'm sorry." Lin Jiao didn't expect Jiang Xiaoyu to be an orphan, and she thought that this girl came out to train her abilities by herself.After all, this child does not have the temperament of an ordinary person.

Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly jumped in front of her and begged, "So, sister, you must survive. My sister is so good, she must not have the heart to leave Xiaoyu behind, right?"

Lin Jiao was silent for a moment, then raised her head and smiled and said, "You teach me how to fix fishing nets, so I can't be idle."

Jiang Xiaoyu wanted to reassure her, but she couldn't control her own life at all, so she changed the subject abruptly.

Lin Jiao learned quickly, and the two of them worked together, and quickly finished the day's tasks.

Tonight's moon is round and big, and it's still early, Jiang Xiaoyu was reluctant to enter the house early, so he told Lin Jiao anecdotes during the day.

"Sister, I heard something strange when I went to town today."

It is rare for a little girl to be so lively, and Lin Jiao is not disappointed.

"What's the matter, tell me and listen to me, let me learn a lot."

Jiang Xiaoyu just likes someone to respond to her, "There is an extra noble person in our port."

"What kind of noble person makes you so rare?" Lin Jiao remembered Jiang Xiaoyu's penchant for looking at beauties, so she couldn't help guessing that she looked very handsome.

Jiang Xiaoyu nodded in agreement, "That's right, she is a great beauty, very beautiful."

"How beautiful?"

"It's so beautiful, so beautiful that when you see her, you want to stick your eyeballs to her."

Jiang Xiaoyu sighed heavily, and said melancholy: "It's a pity that the beauty is blind, her eyes are foggy, it's really a fly in the ointment."

Lin Jiao rubbed Jiang Xiaoyu's hair, and comforted her, "Your beauty is unlucky, she gave up her eyes for a lifetime of peace, which is pretty good."

Jiang Xiaoyu nodded in agreement, "Someone in the town is spreading rumors that that beautiful woman is our king, no, it's the former king, she has already taken the Zen seat."

King?Showa?

How could she be blind?She actually had a more miserable life than herself?

Lin Jiao was suddenly unwilling to die early.

"Xiaoyu, I want to go to town with you tomorrow, do you think it's convenient?"

"Okay, I've always wanted someone to go out with me, and it's great that my sister is willing to accompany me."

***

As the months progressed, the sun became more and more poisonous, and the capital was like a gas steamer, sweating all over.

As soon as the weather was hot, people lost the spirit of doing errands, slacked off a lot, and more or less things went wrong.

On June 27, Tang Yi took Chen Jia, Chen Xiangye, Mrs. Xiao Tan, Bai Feifei, and Lin Yu to Shangning Garden to escape the summer heat.

Shangning Garden is a palace built in imitation of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is specially designed for the royal family to spend summer in the suburbs of Beijing and listen to politics.

After being repaired by successive emperors, the entire palace has not only the poetic charm of small bridges and flowing water, but also the richness and magnificence of Kyoto. It has become a great wonder of Kyoto.

In this season, the lotus flowers in the lake stand gracefully, pink and white, and the green leaves underneath are connected into one piece, extending to the sky.

The wind in this place is a little more spiritual, playing with the lotus with fragrance and coolness.

Tang Yi originally wanted to accompany Chen Jia on a tour of the lake, but he received a report from the palace servants on the way, and left in a panic after a letter came from the queen mothers.

Chen Jia was greedy for cold, and did not follow, lying in the boat, letting the boat drift, squinting for a while, and vaguely heard movement outside the boat.

She got up and walked to the bow, pushed aside the lotus leaves, and inquired about the situation outside.

There is a boat ahead, and the person on board is Bai Feifei.

Where is she going?

The boat travels along the water, and if it continues like this, it will be able to leave the garden.

Sister Feifei wanted to get out of the garden, why did she choose this path?What's more, if you go out from here, you will not arrive at the city, it seems to be Xiangguo Temple.

What does she want to do?

Chen Jia was only thinking about it, and didn't even notice that the boat under her was also floating, and she followed Bai Feifei's boat and drifted out of the garden.
