Chapter 483: Snow on the Desk of the Infatuated Alliance Leader (85)
Jiang Yingchu sat beside the bed and sobbed.
The man in black stood silently behind her and accompanied her.
Jiang Yingchu wiped the tears from her face, suddenly remembered something, and looked at the man in black.
"Have you seen Sister Xiaohe and the groom?"
The two servants were also in a carriage.
The clinic was very small. At a glance, she could only see her mother's sickbed and no one else.
The man in black didn't say anything: "..."
Jiang Yingchu looked at the silent man in black, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Could it be that they...
But didn’t the Immortal Lord tell her...
Jiang Yingchu was suddenly stunned.
No, she only asked the Immortal Lord about her mother's condition, and did not ask about anyone else.
So they really...
Jiang Yingchu no longer expected this unwilling man in black to give her an answer, and hurriedly asked someone who must know the answer in her heart.
"Immortal Lord! Immortal Lord! Are you still there?!"
"Immortal Lord, do you know where Sister Xiaohe and the groom are?"
"Immortal Lord!!!"
The Dark Nightmare Bug was annoyed by Jiang Yingchu's nagging: "They are just two servants, why do you care where they are?"
Jiang Yingchu's heart sank, she seemed to understand what the Immortal Lord meant.
"My Lord Immortal... didn't you say that you only wanted to hurt me?!"
The Nightmare Worm was impatient: "Did I promise you anything?"
"What……"
"Did I say no one else would get hurt?"
Jiang Yingchu was stunned.
"you……"
Jiang Yingchu suddenly asked, "Are you really a god?"
"..."
The Dark Nightmare's voice suddenly darkened: "Why do you say that?"
Jiang Yingchu gritted his teeth, finally mustering up the courage to question loudly in his heart, "Gods are all compassionate. How could they possibly watch a mortal die without helping him?!"
"..." The Dark Nightmare Bug looked at Jiang Yingchu coldly and started to disobey again...
"Of course I am a deity, otherwise how could you be reincarnated?!"
Jiang Yingchu's body stiffened: "But..."
"what!"
Before Jiang Yingchu could say anything else, her head suddenly began to hurt severely. She hugged her head tightly with a painful expression.
"It hurts... My head hurts..."
The man in black behind her was obviously panicking and hurriedly helped the person to another bed.
When Jiang Yingchu regained some consciousness, he felt as if he was lying on the legs of the man in black.
She slowly opened her eyes and found that the man in black was rubbing her head stiffly.
"..."
Jiang Yingchu's head no longer hurt as much after constant massaging.
She looked at the man in black in a daze.
It's so strange, why does this massage technique seem familiar to her...
But the fatigue from a night of tension in the mountains suddenly came flooding back like a tide.
sleepy……
Jiang Yingchu's eyelids became heavier and heavier.
Finally, she fell asleep on the legs of the man in black.
……
When Jiang Yingchu woke up again, it was already completely dark.
The room was filled with the aroma of herbs.
Jiang Yingchu opened his eyes and stared at the beams on the roof for a while.
Where is she...
By the way, this is the clinic.
Jiang Yingchu finally came back to his senses: "Mother..."
The old man was lighting another oil lamp. He turned around when he heard the noise.
"Little girl, are you awake?"
"Um……"
Jiang Yingchu rubbed his head and sat up: "Have I slept for so long?"
The old man said: "Yes, I saw you were sleeping all afternoon, so I gave your mother medicine first."
"Thank you, doctor."
Jiang Yingchu rubbed his head again.
She seemed to have forgotten something...
The old man brought over a few medicine bottles and said, "Your mother's wound will need a dressing change later. Little girl, can you come?"
Jiang Yingchu immediately put his confusion behind him and threw his whole heart into his mother: "Okay!"
She suddenly remembered something: "Um...Excuse me, how did mother apply the medicine before?"
The old man stroked his beard and said, "I asked the lady who sells wontons next door to help. Don't worry, little girl."
Jiang Yingchu felt a little embarrassed: "No, no... Thank you..."
The old man didn't take her offense seriously: "It's okay."
Jiang Yingchu wanted to get out of bed, but someone suddenly held his arm.
She turned around and saw the man in black supporting her, and she felt relieved again.
Maoyou had indeed been with her all the time...
Jiang Yingchu picked up the crutches beside the bed and was helped to stand on the ground.
"Old doctor, are you just going to apply these bottles of medicine?"
"Yes, remember to apply the round bottle first."
"it is good."
The old man finished giving instructions on how to apply the medicine and said, "Little girl, I'll be leaving first."
"Okay, thank you."
Jiang Yingchu was about to apply medicine to his mother when he found that the man in black was still standing there motionless.
"Are you going out too?"
"..."
"There are differences between men and women. My mother is a woman, so it's not convenient for you to stand here."
The man in black didn't move.
Jiang Yingchu smiled helplessly: "Okay, you go out first, don't worry, I can do it alone."
"..."
The man in black finally left.
Jiang Yingchu walked to his mother's bedside with a cane and began to apply medicine to her carefully.
When she saw the injuries on her mother's body, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Mother...I'm sorry..."
She didn't know her mother would be so seriously injured.
If I had known earlier, she wouldn't...
Jiang Yingchu paused while applying the medicine. What was it?
The coachman failed to control the runaway colt, and the carriage fell down the hill.
But...she...why does she always feel that it's her fault?
"Mother..."
Jiang Yingchu continued to apply medicine to his mother.
The situation was extremely urgent at the time, but her mother hugged her at the first moment. Her mother's injuries must have been caused by protecting her.
She must practice Qinggong well in the future, otherwise if she encounters this situation again, she will not be able to save others or herself.
After Jiang Yingchu gave his mother medicine, he went to open the door with his cane.
She looked at the man in black guarding the door and said, "Okay, come in."
"..."
The man in black silently helped Jiang Yingchu into the house.
Jiang Yingchu sat on the couch where he had slept before and looked at the man in black.
"You can sit down too."
Jiang Yingchu tugged at the black-clad man's sleeve: "It's okay, sit down."
"..."
The man in black's sleeve was pulled again.
Then the man in black also sat down.
Jiang Yingchu said softly, "I don't know when my mother will wake up..."
The room was quiet.
Jiang Yingchu carefully leaned on the shoulder of the man in black. Seeing the man in black sitting there motionless, Jiang Yingchu smiled secretly.
Maoyou's shoulders felt a little thin, but she leaned on them very steadily.
"Thank you……"
Jiang Yingchu still couldn't hear any response from this taciturn guy.
But she felt that Maoyou must have the same feelings as hers at this moment.
after awhile.
There was a knock on the door outside.
Jiang Yingchu sat up straight: "Please come in."
The old man pushed the door open carrying a plate of food.
"Eat, kids. You haven't had dinner yet. You must be hungry."
Jiang Yingchu hurried to get out of bed.
"Thank you so much."
The old man waved his hand and said, "Sit down, sit down. You don't have to get down. Your legs are not in good condition. Remember to change the dressing."
"it is good."
The old man placed the food on the small table and placed it on the bed: "Eat quickly, I will come back to clean up later."
"Okay, thank you."
There were three simple dishes and a soup on the plate, but the dishes happened to suit her taste.
Jiang Yingchu picked up the chopsticks and found that the man in black didn't move: "Aren't you going to eat?"
The man in black shook his head.
Jiang Yingchu guessed that Maoyou might be afraid of being recognized by her when she saw his face.
"Why don't you go out to eat?"
Man in black:"……"
"Isn't there a wonton shop next door? Why don't you go there and try it?"
"..."
The man in black looked at Jiang Yingchu silently.
Jiang Yingchu pushed the man in black and said, "Go quickly."
"..."
The man in black was silent for a while before he stood up and walked out slowly.
Jiang Yingchu sighed softly. She really thought about Maoyou in every way.
There's nothing we can do about it. It's this person's fault for having to hide it.
Jiang Yingchu looked at the food on the plate again.
It just so happened that she was hungry too, so these dishes shouldn't be wasted.
After Jiang Yingchu finished his meal, the old man came over to clean up the dishes.
"Little girl, is this bland soup still to your liking?"
Jiang Yingchu was a little full. She touched her stomach and smiled sheepishly: "It's delicious. I'm really sorry to bother you."
The old man waved his hand and said, "It's okay. You're also a patient. Just have a good rest after dinner."
"it is good."
The old man picked up the empty plate and found that there was someone missing in the room: "Little girl, where is the person who took care of you?"
Jiang Yingchu was worried that the old man would misunderstand that the food was not to his liking, so he didn't mention letting Maoyou eat wontons.
"He, he went out and will be back soon."
"Oh." The old man nodded. "There's a small room in the backyard. The bed is already made. You can sleep there tonight."
"Okay, thank you."
At this moment, Jiang Yingchu suddenly remembered that he had not paid the money yet.
Today, when she came to the clinic, the old man was busy all the time, boiling herbs and cooking dinner. He even kindly let her stay. Jiang Yingchu really felt embarrassed to eat and stay at his house for free, but after she fell off the cliff, it seemed that her purse was also lost...
Seeing that the old man was about to leave again, Jiang Yingchu hurriedly called the old doctor.
"Um... old doctor, I... I don't have any money on me right now, you..."
The old man sighed and said, "No need. Don't you know? The person who came with you has already paid."
"Ah?" Jiang Yingchu was stunned. "Did he pay for it?"
"correct."
"..." Jiang Yingchu's heart began to feel sweet again.
Maoyou is really considerate...
Before the old man even stepped out of the door, he suddenly turned around and asked Jiang Yingchu a question: "By the way, little girl, is that man your servant?"
Jiang Yingchu came back to his senses: "Yes... No, he is not."
She was before, but Maoyou will no longer be her servant.
The old man was puzzled: "Isn't it? I saw that he paid me the money in a red envelope, and I thought it was a reward from your family."
Jiang Yingchu was stunned again: "Red seal?"
"Yes, he gave me all the silver in the red envelope."
The old man knew at first sight that Jiang Yingchu was a young lady from a wealthy family, and the people following her seemed to be her servants.
He was shocked when the servant first came to the clinic. He was dressed in black, his face could not be seen clearly, and he refused to speak. He just threw the red envelope to him. He saw a patient covered in wounds lying by the door, and then he realized that he was asked to save the patient. However, before he could ask in detail, the servant left in a hurry.
Jiang Yingchu thought carefully: "Red seal..."
The old man asked, "That red bag wrapped in a red envelope has an orchid and a flying bird embroidered on it. Is it yours?"
Jiang Yingchu nodded: "Yes."
This is indeed the red seal of Jinghong Villa.
Because she loved orchids, her mother had orchids embroidered on them when she ordered a bag specifically for wrapping red envelopes.
But... she didn't remember giving the red envelope to Maoyou. Could it be that her brother gave it to her?
It seems possible that Maoyou had to take martial arts tests with his brother every day. Maybe one day when he mastered martial arts, his brother gave him the reward.
"..."
"Little girl, that man gave you too much money. I'll return it to you later."
"Ah? No, no, please take it first. I don't know how long I'll have to trouble you later. We'll talk about it when the time comes."
The old man said, "Is that so? That's fine, little girl. You should stay here with me for the next few days to treat your leg. My medical skills are not bad. I guarantee that you will be back to full strength in a few days."
Jiang Yingchu smiled and nodded: "Okay, I believe you."
The old man went out with the empty plate.
Jiang Yingchu was sitting idly on the bed when he suddenly felt a cold breeze.
She looked up and found that the old man had forgotten to close the door when he went out.
Jiang Yingchu picked up his crutches again and walked over step by step. When he was about to close the door, a hand blocked the door frame.
"neat."
Hearing this familiar voice, Jiang Yingchu froze in place.
“…Brother.”
Bai Chao pushed the door open a little and looked at Jiang Yingchu.
"Well, it's me."
Jiang Yingchu stared at Bai Chao blankly, and his eyes gradually turned red.
I just met my brother not long ago, why does it feel like a lifetime ago now?
"Brother!"
Jiang Yingchu suddenly threw herself into Bai Chao's arms.
"Brother, it's really you... You came to see me..."
Bai Chao touched Jiang Yingchu's hair: "Yes, I'm here."
Jiang Yingchu burst into tears.
"Brother...Brother..."
Jiang Yingchu hugged his brother and cried bitterly, as if he wanted to cry out the fear of falling off the cliff and the grievance of being injured.
"Chu Chu, stop crying."
Bai Chao wiped the tears from Jiang Yingchu's face, his face full of heartache.
"What's wrong with your leg?"
"I...our carriage fell off a cliff...so my leg was injured, and so was my mother..."
Speaking of mother, Jiang Yingchu's tears rolled down again: "Brother, mother is seriously injured... I'm so afraid she won't wake up..."
"No, Chuchu."
Bai Chao asked slowly, "Is mother in there too?"
"Um……"
Jiang Yingchu pointed to the sickbed inside the door: "Mother is right there."
"Okay, let me take a look."
Bai Chao helped Jiang Yingchu into the house, first placed Jiang Yingchu on a chair, and then went to see Mrs. Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang's injuries were indeed serious, but she did not lose her life, which was a blessing in disguise.
Bai Chao returned to Jiang Yingchu's side.
"Chu Chu, do you still want to go back to the villa?"
