Chapter 63 (1/2)
Knock Knock Knock——
A Yao noticed that the maid in a bun passed by the window. Her slim figure was reflected on the Korean paper in front of the door. She heard several knocks at the door and asked her to come in.
”Please come in.”
When she woke up, she saw the room decorated with a heart from her throat back to her stomach. She knew she was safe, but the problem came again. Where was she? What about the others? Where's Pei Shuo?
She is full of questions and needs answers.
The servant girl pushed the door in and said, ”girl, are you awake? This is the Meng family. Yesterday, Mr. Pei brought you back and placed you in our family temporarily. ”
”No wonder I look strange here. It's warm everywhere. It's not like an inn. Thank you for taking me in.” A Yao left the dressing table and touched the wound on her shoulder. It hurt so much that she inhaled. Only then did she remember that she was bitten by a ”dog” yesterday.
Touching the wound on her shoulder, someone has already bandaged her. If she doesn't move her left shoulder, she doesn't feel much. It's just that it's a little inconvenient to raise her hand and doesn't hurt her bones. It can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
She blessed the servant girl.
The servant girl turned aside and didn't receive a Yao's gift: ”if you want to thank me, go with me to see the old lady later. The old lady took you in.”
Guys?
A Yao smiled: ”have all the thirty children been saved? Now here too? ”
”No, last night there was a strong wind and rain. The childe led a group of children outside the door to take shelter from the rain, which frightened us. The old lady was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to let the children out in the rain. She let them in... But childe Pei went out last night and hasn't come back yet.”
A Yao pondered and understood the meaning of the servant girl: ”thank you for your reminding. Please take me to the children's room. I'll take them to thank the old lady. I'll resign from the county government. Maybe some of the children's parents are looking for them.”
Going through the main room to say goodbye to the old lady, ah Yao looked up at the sky. The thick clouds blocked out the sun. It was gray. She couldn't see the sky clearly. The sun was collected to be poisonous and dazzling. She didn't know whether it would rain again.
Old lady Meng in the hall heard their intentions, but turned her mouth to her side and said, ”you don't like the old woman. I'm in a hurry to leave.”
”Where!” A Yao said first, ”madam, I'm kind. I don't know what to do without you.”
The late wind at night coincides with a shower. The wind blows and the rain hits the skin, making the scalp numb. If they get cold on the way back to the inn in the rain at night, they may have a high fever and even take their lives.
Such saving is also killing people.
Fortunately, everyone is fine.
When a Yao went to see them, each child's temperature was as normal. When she asked, she knew that the servant girl cooked them green onion and black bean soup last night, covered them with bedding, and thanked them again.
”Let the old woman see if you feel uncomfortable?” After listening to this, Mrs. Meng waved to the little diced peas behind and motioned them to go over. The little diced peas were not afraid or defensive at all. They smiled and surrounded them. The old lady's eyes lit up with joy. For a while, she was hearty and for a while, she shouted for her baby.
After probing their heads, they didn't get unusually hot. They still told the servant girl to make ginger soup: ”go and cook a pot of ginger soup, and then each person beat an egg to make up for them. Look at these smart and lovely children...”
