Xiao Qiao Flowing Water

In the early morning, Xiao Qiao propped herself up with both hands, sat up, and changed into the clothes that the running water had placed beside her bed yesterday.

Flowing Water knocked on the door, pushed the wheelchair into the room, and said, "I'll carry you into the wheelchair and go out to wash up and have breakfast."

Xiao Qiao nodded, and stretched out her arms to put her arms around Liu Shui's neck, the tip of her nose lingered with the faint fragrance of herbs from Liu Shui's body.Liu Shui picked her up, her heart pounding, she didn't dare to look down at Xiao Qiao.Running water gently put Xiao Qiao on the wheelchair, pushed her to the main room, and fetched water for her to wash.Then he pushed it to the small table in the courtyard and said, "Wait a minute, I'll serve breakfast."

For breakfast, Liu Shui only made some porridge and pickled sauerkraut.After eating up, Liu Shui said: "I'll wait until you finish drinking the medicine, and I'll fetch water and chop wood, what are you going to do."

Xiao Qiao heard the words and said, "You can just give me a pen and paper. I want to write a letter in the courtyard to report my family's safety."

Hearing the words, Liu Shui thought that Xiao Qiao wanted to go back, and felt a little uncomfortable, so he persuaded him to stay: "You'd better wait before going back, don't worry about my medical skills..."

Seeing this, Xiao Qiao interrupted with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Who said I want to go back, I just wrote a letter to report that I am safe."

Liu Shui's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said happily, "Then write a letter, and I'll help you deliver it to the station in the city."

Seeing her happy, Xiao Qiao felt a little happy too, "No, I have Ah Yi."

Liu Shui asked suspiciously, "Who is Ah Yi?"

Xiao Qiao didn't answer, but just took out the thin tube from her waist last time, blew it, and a falcon flew over and landed on Xiao Qiao's shoulder, "I'll take it out this time as well." Take it out, it can deliver letters."

"Then I'll get you the medicinal soup."

Liu Shui carried two buckets, and said to Xiao Qiao: "Then I'm going out." Then he went out with the buckets, and closed the door by the way.

Seeing him going out, Xiao Qiao continued to write with her head down.After a while, he rolled up the paper, put it in the small bamboo tube of the eagle's feet, touched its head, and the eagle flew away.

The running water went back and forth several times to carry water back, filled the large water tank in the courtyard, and wiped the sweat from his head with his sleeve.Xiao Qiao turned the wheel with one hand, and brought a bowl of water to Liu Shui's side with the other, "Drink and sleep."

Liu Shui turned around, took a sip of water, and felt like honey in his heart. He only felt that life was more and more colorful than before.

"Sister-in-law, is aunt at home?" Liu Shui finished chopping, went to the next door to Da Niu's house, and saw Da Niu's daughter-in-law Shui'er choosing vegetables in the yard.

Seeing the running water, Shui'er put down the food in his hand, stood up and said: "Liu Shui, you are at home, come and sit in the room." Then he called back: "Mother, look for Liu Shui."

Aunt Wang came out of the house and said happily, "Flowing water, what's the matter?"

Liu Shui said: "I'll buy some chickens to make up for Xiao Qiao."

Aunt Wang said: "You need to buy this and that." Then she turned to Shui'er and said, "Shui'er, go to the pen and catch a chicken for Liu Shui."

Liu Shui stopped and said, "Aunt Wang, it's not easy to raise chickens. I'll buy three chickens, and you take the money." He put the money into Aunt Wang's hands.

Aunt Wang declined and said, "How can this be done? Throughout the year, you won't get any money for seeing a doctor at home. Aren't you slapping your face?"

"What mother said is, Liu Shui, you take the money back."

Liu Shui forced the money into Aunt Wang's hands, and said, "Auntie, you are not slapping your face like this, but me. Our doctors are here to save lives and heal the wounded, and we are also a villager. I have been urinating since I was a child, thanks to the help of every family in the village. , You must take the money, otherwise I won't want this chicken."

Aunt Wang had no choice but to take it, "Oh, you child."

Seeing this, Liu Shui backed his head silently, chuckled, and said, "Auntie, I'll put the other two chickens here first, and I'll pick them up when I need them."

"Okay, I'll go see that girl later."

"Okay, then, auntie, I'll go back first." Liu Shui said, taking the chicken in Shui's hand.

Liu Shui was killing chickens in the courtyard, and Xiao Qiao watched quietly under the eaves, chatting a few words from time to time.

Xiao Qiao saw that Liushui was scalding the chicken with hot water, and thought that he was the only one in Liushui's house these few days, so she asked, "Liushui, where are your parents?"

Hearing this, Liu Shui paused, then resumed his work, "My mother died when I was born, and my father died when I was ten years old."

"Sorry……"

Flowing Water interrupted, "It's okay, it's all over." Flowing Water began to pluck the feathers of the chicken, and fell silent for a while.

Not long after, "Then who taught you your medical skills?"

"I learned from the medical books left by my mother."

"Then do you make a living as a doctor?"

"No, studying medicine is just a hobby, and I only give medical treatment to the villagers, and I don't charge money. My father passed away and left a few acres of fertile land. I was young and couldn't do it, so I rented it out. I usually go to the mountains to collect herbs. I would also take medicinal materials to the city to buy them, plant some vegetables behind my house, and go back and forth by myself, saving a lot of money, and bought fields in the past few years and continued to rent them out.”

"Then you have a lot of fields."

"Hehe...not too much, not too much, only a dozen acres."

Liu Shui and Xiao Qiao just chatted without saying a word.

"Running water!" Aunt Wang entered the courtyard and shouted.

Liu Shui came out of the kitchen upon hearing the words, and said, "Auntie, what's the matter?"

Aunt Wang handed Liu Shui Cai and said, "This is Shui'er. I picked some vegetables from the field just now. I'll bring you a few. Come and see that girl."

Liu Shui took the food from Aunt Wang's hand, led Aunt Wang into the main room, and said, "Auntie, come in and say that she is in the room."

Xiao Qiao heard the voice outside, just came out of the room, saw Liu Shui, said: "Xiao Qiao, this is Aunt Wang next door, she came to see you."

Xiao Qiao said, "Hello, Aunt Wang."

Seeing Xiao Qiao's appearance, Aunt Wang was surprised and said: "A real fairy descended to earth." Then she said: "Okay, okay, Miss Xiao Qiao, you are the most beautiful thing my wife has ever seen in this life."

Xiao Qiao was a little uncomfortable being looked at, but she didn't show it on the face, and said: "Aunt Wang has won the award, just call me Xiao Qiao."

The running water poured a cup of tea and said, "Auntie, sit down and have a cup of tea."

Aunt Wang waved her hand and said, "No, no, I have to go back to work, so I'll take a look, Liu Shui, you're busy, I'll go back first."

Liu Shui said: "Auntie, go slowly."

For lunch, Liu Shui made herbal chicken soup, stir-fried the chicken head, feet and offal, and made a dish of green vegetables.The running water filled a bowl of chicken soup, and said: "Come on, this chicken soup nourishes the body, after drinking, let's have dinner together."

Xiao Qiao took it and said, "Why don't you drink?"

Liu Shui heard the words and said, "This is medicinal chicken soup, specially made for you."

Xiao Qiao didn't say anything after hearing the words, and drank the chicken soup as she said.

After eating up, the flowing water brought the medicinal soup, and said: "After you drink the medicine, go to have a lunch break. I will go to the city to buy the medicinal materials, and I will buy some things when I come back. This time, I will go to Uncle Li's house to borrow two carriages. I can do it later." Come back. Oh, by the way, what color do you like, I'll give it to you, and bring back two changes of clothes."

Xiao Qiao heard the words and said, "Whatever you want."

"Oh, then I'll take you to rest." Liu Shui pushed Xiao Qiao back to the room to rest.

Liu Shui cleaned up, brought some money, and locked the door to go out.

Flowing Water knocked on the door and saw Xiao Qiao sitting on the bed neatly dressed, and asked, "Have you woke up long ago?"

Xiao Qiao nodded and hummed.

Liu Shui handed the clothes bought in the city today to Xiao Qiao, touched the back of his head, and said, "The clothes are not as good as yours, so you will just let it go."

Seeing her naive look, Xiao Qiao said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Very good, I like it very much."

Seeing her smile, Liu Shui was fascinated for a moment.Then when she heard someone calling her outside, she came back to her senses and said anxiously: "I, who am I going to see?" She went out immediately.

When Liushui came out of the courtyard, he saw Aunt Wang from Wang Dahai's family in the village, and said, "Auntie, what's the matter?"

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "I'll come and see Xiao Qiao. I heard Aunt Wang said that she is much better. Let's come and see."

"Come in, Auntie, Xiao Qiao is in the room." Liu Shui welcomed her into Xiao Qiao's room.

"Little Qiao, this is Aunt Wang from Brother Dahai's family." Liu Shui said as he entered the room.

"Hi, Aunt Wang."

"Okay, okay, you are really beautiful." Although I heard that Aunt Wang next door to Liushui said she was a beauty, she was still amazed at first sight.Then he asked: "Is the girl married?"

A trace of displeasure flashed in Xiao Qiao's eyes, and she calmly said, "No."

When Aunt Wang heard this, she said joyfully, "We are not married to Liu Shui. He is nice and intelligent, and his family is rich..."

When Liu Shui heard it, he said anxiously: "Auntie, Xiao Qiao is not feeling well, she is going to rest now, let's talk about what's going on later." Then she pushed Aunt Wang out of the room.

Aunt Wang came out and said, "Oh, you child, why are you ashamed? I see that you two are both talented and beautiful, and you are a good match."

Liu Shui couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words, he just said: "I'm not in a hurry, and Xiao Qiao is just recuperating with me."

Aunt Wang said: "This is fate, Liu Shui, you have to hurry up, you see my Dahai, you are so old, you are already a father."

Liu Shui had no choice but to respond: "Okay, okay."

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Then I'll go back and come see you next time."

"Auntie, walk slowly" Seeing her leave, Liu Shui returned to Xiao Qiao's room, her cheeks flushed and said, "Don't listen to Aunt Wang's nonsense..." He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, "I still have something to do, so I'm going to do it first. "The running water hurried out again.After he came out, he thought it was a woman, why he was so guilty just now, he hurriedly explained to Xiao Qiao, secretly annoyed.

Seeing Liu Shui's anxious appearance, Xiao Qiao always found it funny, and the displeasure just now was wiped away.

Since the two Aunt Wangs came to visit, the villagers who came to Liushui's house in the past few days have been visiting Xiaoqiao non-stop.Running water made it quite embarrassing and shy, and Xiao Qiao saw that it was all kinds of interesting.
