Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the bushes, Lin Xi reached out and held Du Xingzhi's hand. Du Xingzhi did not look back, but just held her hand tightly back and hid her behind him without leaving a trace.

"Who are you! Don't try to play tricks in broad daylight!" The grass was as tall as a person. The two men didn't dare to get too close. They stopped half a meter away. Du Xingzhi held the branch in his hand across his body and spoke again to the grass that was shaking slightly.

The bush shook violently first, and then a brown figure suddenly jumped out and rushed towards the two people. Du Xingzhi was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and quickly swung the branch at the man. The figure felt pain and cried out, but did not stop. Instead, he quickly passed the two people and ran forward.

Thinking of Miao who was not far away, Du Xingzhi and Lin Xi turned around hurriedly and wanted to stop him, but they saw that the man ran to not far from Miao, and when he saw that there was someone else, he turned around and ran quickly up the mountain, and disappeared in a moment.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Miao also put down the stone she was holding tightly, and hurriedly walked to the two of them, pulling them to check carefully, and was relieved to see that neither of them was injured. Du Xingzhi then carefully walked around the bushes, wanting to see what happened behind, but Lin Xi, who had been thinking about something since the brown figure pounced on him just now, suddenly stopped him, "Cousin, wait a minute!"

Du Xingzhi stopped and cast a puzzled look at Lin Xi. Lin Xi took a few steps forward and said, "Let me do it." Du Xingzhi wanted to stop him, but Lin Xi had already passed him and walked behind the bushes. When he saw the unconscious woman behind the bushes, Lin Xi sighed in his heart: As expected.

The person lying behind the bushes was none other than the heroine Lin Xiaomiao. At this moment, her eyes were closed, the corners of her lips were stained with blood, there were several obvious slap marks on her face, her clothes were torn open, revealing a large area of snow-white skin, and her skirt was also torn a little, she looked very miserable.

Lin Xi remembered that there was such a scene in the original plot. The hero recovered and went back to Beijing temporarily. The heroine went up the mountain to collect firewood, but met a beggar from the same village who had always coveted her. She was almost defiled by him. Fortunately, she fought back and finally pulled out her hairpin to stab the beggar's eye, then ran back home alone.

After finally recovering from the injury, the leper came back and not only slandered the heroine for seducing him, but also demanded that she compensate him with an eye. Fortunately, the hero returned in time, crippled the leper's other eye, and designed to make him fall into the water and drown. The hero and heroine also confirmed their feelings for each other because of this incident, and lived a sweet life.

Seeing that Lin Xi didn't say anything for a long time, Du Xingzhi was a little worried and wanted to take a step forward, but was stopped by Lin Xi. "Cousin, don't go forward. It's Sister Xiao Miao. She might have been bullied by that thief. Now she is not looking good."

Du Xingzhi suddenly stopped and his face became gloomy. Miao was also shocked and hurried to Lin Xi. Seeing Lin Xiaomiao's miserable condition, she couldn't help but gasp.

Lin Xi squatted down and felt her breath. Fortunately, she was still alive. She straightened Lin Xiaomiao's clothes and looked at her lower body. She saw that although her skirt was torn, her fur pants were not taken off. So she straightened her skirt for her.

However, Lin Xi and Miao were both wearing light clothes today, with short jackets on their upper bodies, which were difficult to take off. Du Xingzhi wore a loose outer robe to look dignified, so she shouted to Du Xingzhi outside the bushes: "Cousin, take off your outer robe and throw it over. Little Sister Miao is seriously injured and her clothes are torn. We have to take her down the mountain quickly."

Du Xingzhi quickly loosened his outer robe and handed her in. The outer robe was large, so Lin Xi wrapped Lin Xiaomiao tightly. He then used his sleeves to tie a knot around her neck that was neither loose nor tight to ensure that not a single bit of her skin was exposed. Then he called Du Xingzhi to carry her on his back.

The sun was getting higher, and on the way down the mountain, they met a few villagers who were going up the mountain to chop firewood. Seeing the three of them in a hurry, and Du Xingzhi carrying a person whose appearance was unclear on his back, they wanted to ask about it. Before the Miao mother and son could speak, Lin Xi made a bitter face and said to the visitor quickly: "Alas! Poor little sister Miao, an orphan, a girl went up the mountain to chop firewood, but accidentally fell down. Fortunately, we found her when we went to burn incense, otherwise she would have died there."

When the man heard this, he was shocked at first, then he became suspicious, "Did you fall and get hurt? Then why are you wrapped up so tightly?"

"Alas, the mountain is full of rocks and branches. Xiao Miao has several cuts on her head and face. She is bleeding. It looks scary. If I don't bandage her up, it might scare people!"

The man was about to ask more but was interrupted by Lin Xi, "Uncles, little Miss Miao is seriously injured. We have to take her downstairs to see a doctor. I won't say any more to you." After saying that, he poked Du Xingzhi. Du Xingzhi understood and ran down the mountain like a gust of wind. Miao and Lin Xi also trotted to catch up, leaving only a few woodcutters gathered together and whispered.

The three of them sent Lin Xiaomiao home. When they put her on the bed, Lin Xiaohe and Lin Xiaodong saw their sister's miserable state and immediately surrounded her anxiously. Seeing this, Lin Xi hurriedly ordered the two of them, "Xiaodong, go and ask Doctor Hu to come over. Remember, it must be Doctor Hu."

There are two doctors in the village, Hu and Lin. Doctor Hu's medical fees are fair and he doesn't like to gossip about other people, so he is more respected by the villagers. For the sake of Lin Xiaomiao's reputation, Lin Xi made a special note of this.

Seeing Lin Xiaodong running out quickly, she looked at Lin Xiaohe again, "Xiaohe, go find a set of clean clothes for your sister to change into, and get a basin of warm water to clean her up." Lin Xiaohe responded, wiped her tears and went out.

Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Du Xingzhi and Miao, "Aunt, cousin, are you all right?"

Du Xingzhi had been running back with someone on his back, and was now sitting on a stool panting. He shook his head when he heard this, "Nothing, just a little tired."

"I'm fine too, but I feel sorry for that girl Xiao Miao. In broad daylight, she was almost killed by..." Miao patted her chest in fear.

The three waited until Doctor Hu examined Lin Xiaomiao and prescribed some medicine for internal and external use before saying goodbye to Lin Xiaohe and her brother and sister and returning home. In the next few days, people from the village and outside the village kept coming to congratulate Du Xing on his success in the imperial examination, and they were busy preparing for the banquet in a few days, so the three gradually forgot about this matter.

On September 15th, the sweet osmanthus was fragrant, and the Du family's winning banquet was held as scheduled. Because the Du family had no relatives or friends in Linjia Village, they only invited good friends and a few classmates in the village at the beginning. But the headman was thoughtful and asked Du Xingzhi to send invitations to several reputable gentry and wealthy families. As a result, many people came to the banquet that day, and all ten tables were filled.
