Chapter 5
As soon as Xia He came back, she saw Chunhua sitting paralyzed by the door and crying, frowning slightly, "What are you doing here, is the eldest girl awake?"

When Chunhua saw Xia He, it was like seeing a savior, she quickly got up and grabbed her arm, "Xia He, we entered the house together, we love sisters, you must help me this time..."

Xia He groaned, a little impatient, "If you have something to say, you can talk about it. I bought the medicine back, and I have to cover it up for the eldest girl. If you don't do it, in the future... you..." She said To put aside the other side to push the door.

Just in time, the door creaked open.

Nanny Li came out and closed the door with her backhand.Xia He hurriedly greeted Li Nanny.

"I've already taken the medicine for the eldest girl, and I've already rested now. I'll make some porridge for her in the evening." Li Nanny said to Xia He, who was finally relieved to hear that the medicine had been covered. , promise again and again.

Nanny Li turned around and said to Chunhua: "Come with me." She said and pulled her by the wrist and walked out of the courtyard gate.

Chunhua looked at Xia He begging for help, but the latter finally couldn't bear it, and asked, "Nurse Li, um, why did you take Chunhua away?"

Mother Li thought that Lu Wanqing's life would depend on her in the future, so her tone was softer: "It's enough for this thorny yard to have you as the head girl, take good care of your girl, isn't she, she looks like she left here a long time ago?" , this time just let her go to the management room to get things done again."

Xia He is a sensible person, what the other party said is that if this young master gains power in the future, she will be the number one person next to the young master just like Nanny Li... In a big family, there are more slaves than masters, so , the group formed between them is not simpler than the relationship between master and son.Chicken head and phoenix tail, I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

Whether Chunhua leaves or not doesn't actually have much impact on Xia He, because she does all the work of carrying water for cooking and chopping firewood in the yard.This master was not very picky in the first place, even in the past, he would help with some work.If it wasn't because she did some "extraordinary" things in the market, trapped herself in such a field, and implicated her close servants, otherwise Chunhua would not be so extreme.At this moment, in Xia He's mind, even though the big girl was sweating in pain, she clenched her teeth tightly and refused to cry.I thought to myself, maybe this time the big girl was really "good"?No matter what, she is still a young master, with the blood of the Lu family, much better than a servant like her... Thinking of this, her heart gradually became more at ease.

Xia He gently opened the door and walked in. Seeing that Lu Wanqing was already in a deep sleep, she carefully lifted the quilt, and saw that the other person had indeed been medicated and put on a new cotton cloth. come out.Xia He touched the other's forehead with the back of his hand, but there was no fever... "Huh—" Xia He finally felt relieved, and carefully tucked in the quilt again.He tiptoedly put the package in his hand on the dressing cabinet next to the window, and took out the Jinchuang medicine and two feet of white cotton cloth he bought one by one.In addition to the medicine for external application, she also bought three sets of boiled medicine.He took out the cloth bag from his bosom, which contained the money left over from buying medicine and things. After thinking about it, he carefully opened the drawer, took out the wooden box from inside, put the remaining money inside, and put it away again.

Although there are only her and the master here now, as a servant, she sometimes sees more clearly than the confused master. When the mistress came in the morning, the girl Mei next to her swept the eyes of the whole room.Still be careful.

After tidying up, when Xia He went back out of the house with a medicine bag in his hand, he saw a paper bag on the bedside table, and his heart moved, could it be that it was delivered by Nanny Li just now?Why didn't she say anything when she left just now?Thinking of this, she understood a little bit, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and a wry smile appeared, "Do you really still not trust me? Forget it, if you have a bad fate and follow a master with no future, what you do is considered to be your best." It's my duty. If the other party is really beaten up this time, maybe I will get better too..."

……

"Sister Li, how is the eldest girl?" As soon as Nanny Li entered the room, she was held back by Mrs. Tian, ​​and asked repeatedly with tears in her eyes.Because Lu Wanqing slandered his daughter-in-law, he was beaten twenty times, deducted one month's monthly payment, and fined half a month's food. Her mother-in-law, Tian Shi, was also punished to contemplate her mistakes behind closed doors in a wing room in the side courtyard.

"Okay, I think the eldest girl seems to have been woken up this time..." Nanny Li pulled Tian Shi to the stool next to her and sat down, and described what she saw in the Thorn Lane Courtyard.

Tian suppressed her sadness, "I hope she really understands this time..."

Mother Li went on to say: "When I come back, I will send that girl directly to the steward's office and cancel the number of maids at the eldest girl's place. This will also save a penny of expenses. The food and firewood money for next month... Hey, there is no catastrophe in a person's life, and all the hardships come. When I left, I applied the medicine. Fortunately, I didn't have a fever. I think it will be over in a few days scabbed..."

Nanny Li was babbling while she was about to prepare dinner.Now Tian's side is only served by Madam Li, so she can do whatever she can. The two of them depend on each other for life.

……

When Lu Wanqing was sleeping in a daze, she heard someone calling to herself in a low voice, she opened her eyes, and saw Xia He was holding a bowl of steaming gruel on the small square table next to her.Seeing the other party's movement, Xia He said softly: "Miss, get up and eat some porridge. I only ate a little in the middle of the day today. I must be hungry now. Eat before going to sleep."

Lu Wanqing heard the other party's soft words, smelled the tempting aroma of rice soup, wanted to sit up, and tore open the wound that had just congealed blood on her body, feeling a sharp pain.She gritted her teeth and took a breath.Xia He quickly supported the other party's armpits to prop up and knelt on the bed, and then fed Lu Wanqing spoonfuls of warm thick rice porridge.

After dinner, while waiting for Xia He to fetch the medicine, Lu Wanqing thought hard about how long he would stay in bed, but found that his memory was very vague, because he was not a pig's foot, and simply took "half a month before he could get out of bed".This is bad luck.In the past, when I read books and watched TV, I felt that lying on the bed was nothing, but it was only when I fell on myself that I realized the pain.

... Lu Wanqing almost slept or thought about things except eating and drinking.She discovered how difficult it is for a modern woman to survive in this ancient environment, and there are all kinds of rules and etiquette. Sometimes a word or an action will be considered as uneducated and punished.She thought, it's no wonder that every time-traveling woman has cheats, because without cheats, she simply can't live, let alone how to find her own life.

Lu Wanqing's recovery ability is amazing, and no pus and blood ooze out on the fourth day after taking the medicine.At this time, her health was slightly better, and she realized that Xia He was laying the floor every day, and she felt very guilty. Maybe she had a grudge against this master before, but her heart was not bad, and she had indeed taken care of her in every possible way these days.Lu Wanqing asked Xia He to sleep on the bed with her, but Xia He shied away several times, saying that there is no such thing as a servant and a master sleeping on the same bed.Lu Wanqing had no choice but to give up.

On the sixth day, Lu Wanqing felt scabs all over her body, and she knew it was the critical moment of recovery, so she couldn't scratch it.Enduring it was so uncomfortable, thinking that he was very energetic now, so he asked Xia He to help him get out of bed.Pushing open the door, Lu Wanqing only felt the glare of the sun, and her head became dizzy for a while.Stretching out his hand to rest his forehead, he put one hand on the door and paused for a while.At this moment, a gust of cool wind hit, and Lu Wanqing subconsciously tightened her skirt.Xia He hurriedly said: "I'll go get a piece of clothing."

Xia He hurriedly went to the clothes rack on the other side of the bed and took out a skirt and skirt with blue floral background, and put it on Lu Wanqing's back.Then he stretched out his hand to support the other's arm, and walked lightly towards the outside.

This was the first time Lu Wanqing saw this small courtyard with his own eyes, and he realized that it was much more dilapidated and desolate than the original owner remembered, because it was late autumn now, the weeds around the steps and the courtyard dam were withered and yellow, and the fence looked rotten.

She was in the main house in the small courtyard, and there was only one room, with a nearly three-foot-wide street under the eaves.On the right side of the main house is a smaller and dilapidated thatched house. The door is covered with a straw curtain, and some sundries can be seen inside.

At the corner of the street next to the thatched house in the main house is a modern briquette stove, slightly larger and rougher.A long-mouthed blowing pot was placed on the stove, and a puff of white gas came out from time to time.On the left hand side of the street, there is a small pile of firewood blocks and a pile of thatch for lighting the fire. Next to the fence is a large blue-gray water tank with two people hugging each other. Next to the water tank is a half-person-high stone platform. Crockpots, melons, ladles, etc...

Seeing this, Lu Wanqing felt a little cold again when she thought of what Chunhua said a few days ago.The girls of this rich family were raised in deep boudoirs, and then waited for marriage, marriage, or in exchange for greater benefits for the family.In short, they don't have anything of their own. If the family doesn't give it to them, they will have to wait for starvation and cold.

Even in this time and space with a fairy background, for women in deep boudoirs, they still have no chance to touch the "immortal magic" that only men can touch.Even the pig-footed Lu Wanying in the original text had all the advantages of a time-traveling woman and the help of a god-defying artifact before embarking on the journey of cultivation. Even so, her fate was ill-fated, and she also had the devoted assistance of many high-quality beautiful men... and herself... In the original text, it is just a life of cannon fodder, there is no god-defying artifact, no halo of pig's feet, the only thing worthy of my status as a "time-traveling woman" is "mind reading", but there are still high requirements for performing this mind reading, not only The person being "read" is right in front of him, and he also requires that the other party's mental strength cannot be higher than his own, that the other party is not on guard, and that the energy of his body is consumed...
