Chapter 5 Meeting
Qi Shui dried some dried vegetables and brought them to the city today to her seventh uncle. Ya Niang weaved cloth at home, so she asked An'er and Qi Shui to go to the city to buy some medicine, but there was still one medicine left. The pharmacy shopkeeper said that he would have to wait ten days before he could get the medicine. Fortunately, there was still some left at home and he could handle the medicine period of the sixth day of the lunar month.
Since Qishui was going to the north of the city and An'er was going to the south of the city, the two of them went to do their own business and then waited at the East City Gate.
After an hour, the two of them gathered back. Halfway out of the city, An'er saw the people from the rainy alley appear again last time and ran towards her. An'er was shocked and was so strong that these people knew that they were so good at recognizing people. An'er immediately said to Qi Shui: "Those people have some holidays with me, I'm afraid they'll come to me now. You hide and meet again at Linziqiao in the evening." Before she could agree, An'er pushed her into the grass and turned around and ran in the opposite direction. Qi Shui was very scared and worried about An'er, but looking at the fierce evil man, she still chose to obey An'er's arrangements.
An'er crossed the ridge of the field, crossed the small ditch, rushed into the thorns, and finally got rid of most of the people in the rain alley, but one of them was reluctant to leave. In the end, An'er couldn't run anymore and turned around to look at the person behind. She thought that the other party was only one, and if she fought hard, she still had hope of escaping. If she ran away again, her strength would be gone. Then she would be miserable, so she decided to stop and fight.
When the visitor saw An'er stopping, he stopped, and only heard An'er say, "I won't run away with you. Although I had a holiday with you people in the rain alley before, now you and I will compete with each other. If I win, let me go, and I will not be allowed to get involved in the future."
The visitor was slightly stunned, then understood and said, "What if you lose?"
what to do?
An'er thought about it, then took out the medicine she had just bought, gritted her teeth and said, "This is my life-extending medicine. If you win, then take it away. If I lose the medicine, I will naturally not be able to survive. Let's think that I bet on you with my life!"
When someone came to look at An'er, she didn't look like a sick person, but her serious expression on her face didn't seem to be lying, so she agreed. An'er thought that her martial arts skills were not good enough, but she also knew that the people in Yuxiang were also learning the martial arts randomly, but she just relied on the people to please her. But An'er estimated that she was wrong. This person was different, and he had a good foundation. An'er knew that she was not his opponent and suffered losses in a row. She lost in less than ten rounds.
What made both of them feel strange was that the other party’s martial arts skills were not much different from their own, but the two had different understandings and proficiency in this.
An'er's hands were tightly swayed by the person who came with a smile. An'er said angrily: "I'll give you the medicine, let me go!" He didn't know how to explain to his mother. If her mother knew, she wouldn't scold herself, and then her mother cried again and was very upset, regretting that she hadn't accompanied her.
"What's the use of that thing? I want you!" The person who came was very gentle, and it made people feel so soft that he would lose his whole body after hearing it. But An'er wouldn't want to know what he meant. All she had in her heart was the medicinal herb. She said, "What's the use of what you want me? That medicine is much more valuable than me."
The man laughed out loud. Didn’t she understand what she said? She also said that medicinal materials are more expensive than her life. Isn’t her life saved by those medicinal materials? He exerted force on his hand, and An’er screamed in pain. The person came and said, “Then your life is mine!”
"How could it be yours?" An'er asked back.
He saw the beads of sweat oozing from the pain on An'er's head, and he couldn't help but lighten his hand, just holding her hand and stopping his efforts. "You just said that it was the medicine to save your life. Now that I took it away, aren't you in danger? If I return it to you, you can save your life, and then your life will naturally be mine."
It seemed to make sense. An'er thought that he could not run away now and could not beat him. There was no other way except to promise him. "Okay, I'll just listen to you in the future."
The visitor let her go. An'er saw him smiling and looked hippie, so she just glared at him hard and put the medicinal herbs back into her cloth bag.
There was a curse coming from a distance, and I saw a few more figures. An'er's eyes were very good. She recognized the large group of people in the Rain Alley just now and said with a little disgust: "You people from the Rain Alley are here."
The people from Yuxiang also found two people and chased them. The man pulled An'er and ran away. An'er was puzzled and did not forget to ask while running away: "Aren't you a person from Yuxiang? Why did you run away when you see your own people?"
He replied, "Who told you that I am from Rain Alley? The person they were chasing me was me, and you suddenly ran to me. I saw that you were a little familiar with this area, so I followed you." He couldn't help laughing when he said this.
But An'er was scolding herself for being so stupid, and she gave her life to someone she had never known.
He pulled An'er into the forest. An'er's arm was pierced by a broken branch, but he didn't feel the pain. He still took him forward without caring. After running for a while, An'er realized that he was just running around, so he pulled his sleeves hard and asked him to run with him. He knew and let her lead him away.
An'er is indeed a master of escape. She hides here and runs there, and she actually safely leaves the forest and gets rid of the evil man in the rain alley.
An'er was panting, and the visitor pointed at An'er's arm and asked, "When did your hand hurt? It's so much blood."
When An'er looked at it herself, she was obviously surprised. She didn't feel the pain at first, but now she saw her bloody arm, a piercing pain came over her heart.
What to do? How can I explain to my mother when I get home? I can’t tell her the truth. If I know, I will let myself leave the village.
Fortunately, there were some herbs nearby. They added some water and mashed them on the wound. The boy hurriedly tore off some cloth strips from his clothes and helped An'er prick the wound. After pricking it, An'er came to the stream to wash the blood-stained sleeves. But they didn't wash them clean. Maybe the wound hurts too much, or maybe she was worried that her mother would be sad, so she burst into tears. Yes, it's great that the twelve-year-old girl can endure it until now.
The boy wanted to ignore her, but when he thought about it carefully, he was because of her, and he felt a little disgusted, so he walked to An'er and said, "You have no hand, I'll help you." His tone was no longer as thick as before. Seeing that An'er didn't say anything, he squatted beside her, but found that she was already in tears at this time and asked, "Is it painful? I'll accompany you to the city to see the doctor!"
An'er said nothing, and he said again: "Are you a little rude and offensive to your words just now? Don't take it seriously. Saying that you're going to have your life is just a play, don't cry anymore!" Although he is not the kind of person who can't stand the girl crying, the crystal clearness and brightness in her eyes were something she had never seen before, and she couldn't help but soften her heart.
"No need to look at the doctor. I cried just because I didn't know how to explain to my mother. She raised me alone with great difficulty. Seeing that I was hurt, I must be sad. I am really unfilial!"
Yes, Ya Niang was most disgusted by An'er, and shed so much blood this time.
"It's all my fault for hurting me, I'm sorry." It's sincere to admit your mistake, and an apology is also sincere.
Seeing that his apology was so sincere, An'er forgives him. After all, he doesn't want to be injured.
"What's your name?" Because I hurt her, I should have known the other person's name. I am not the kind of person who is irresponsible if I hurt someone. Maybe this girl's mother has to pay for her!
"An'er, safe An, what about you?"
He smiled and replied, "My name is Brother Yu!"
An'er laughed out loud, "Whoever calls such a name? You're playing with me again."
His real name was Cheng Yu's name was Yifu, and he laughed when he heard An Er say this.
An'er has to leave, and she still has to rush to Linziqiao to meet Qishui. The girl is afraid that she is very worried about herself. Cheng Yu said that if she wants compensation, she will meet at the stone tablet in the east of the city in two days.
Qi Shui finally waited for her. If something happened to her, the eldest brother would not let her go first. However, when she saw An'er's arms were covered in blood, her sleeves were dyed red, and she was bandaged, "You girl, you are the most powerful person who escapes, but why are you injured now?" As she said that, tears came out.
"I'm just pricked by a branch. It's okay. If you have something to do, I can't explain to Uncle Qi and Brother Muer." An'er comforted her and said.
Qi Shui wanted to say something, but seeing that it was already dark, if he didn't go back, he would be worried about his family, so he held An'er's hand and walked towards the village.
An'er asked Qi Shui to keep the matter today secret, and she agreed, and the injury on her hand said that An'er accidentally fell from the tree when she climbed a tree with fun.
When An'er walked into the house, Ya Niang was sewing clothes under the lamp and pressing some food. Ya Niang didn't look up at her, but just said, "Eat quickly, I always like to go out to play. Have you bought the medicine?"
"The medicine is ready." He took out the medicine and put it in the medicine basket next to him, sat down to eat, but he had no choice but to use his right hand, so he had to use his left hand, but he couldn't hold the chopsticks and fell on the table. Ya Niang moved her gaze to An'er, and when she saw her arm, she felt ache in her heart, and she felt that she was injured. "You won't be able to protect yourself, but you will feel sorry for me." She took her hand and checked carefully.
"It's just a minor injury, mom doesn't have to worry."
Ya Niang saw that it was indeed not a big deal, so she picked up the chopsticks, picked up the vegetables and put them into An'er's mouth. She did not forget to say: "A girl of this big one still needs her mother to pick up the vegetables and put them into her mouth to eat, but she is embarrassed!"
Both mother and daughter laughed.
