Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight

Chapter 264 Recognition

They ran to Huichun Hall in the wind and snow. Wen Xiaoliu was the only one in the house.

Seeing that I came so suddenly, he asked in surprise: "Sister Bai, what are you doing...?"

I put Qiao Bin in front of her and said anxiously, "Sixth brother, please take a look at her. She has had a fever for two days and the medicine is not getting better."

Xiaoliu hurriedly untied the quilt and saw that the quilt was already soaked with Qiaobin's sweat. Qiaobin's eyes were closed and his face had lost its color.

"This is quite serious... I'm afraid I..." Xiaoliu looked at me.

I bowed deeply and said, "Please, Sixth Brother, save her!" Then I stood up and bit my lip and said, "Use... the same method you used to treat Chuntao."

Xiaoliu stared at me, with an unidentifiable look on his face: "You really do know."

I bit my lip and said, "Yes, I know. But Sixth Brother, I haven't told anyone. In Qingshui Town, everyone has a story to some extent. They live their own lives behind closed doors, and help their neighbors to the best of their ability when they open their doors, just to live a stable and peaceful life."

Xiaoliu sighed: "Then do you know that if my secret is leaked, my peace and tranquility will be gone?"

I nodded vigorously: "I know, I know! I swear to God, I will never tell Sixth Brother's secret to anyone else!"

Xiaoliu walked to the table, turned his back to me and said, "I don't believe in oaths."

My heart sank.

He turned around, holding a pair of scissors in his hand, and cut his finger: "But I believe you."

Blood dripped into Qiao Bin's mouth, one drop, two drops... After a few drops, her face returned to its rosy color.

I held her in my hands as if I had found a treasure again, and bowed to Xiaoliu repeatedly: "Thank you, brother Liu! Thank you, brother Liu, for saving my life!"

Xiaoliu found a piece of clean cloth and pressed his fingers on it, then raised his chin to me and said, "I want six cookies."

I hugged Qiao Bin and replied, "Six portions a day, I'll deliver them to you for ten consecutive days, and there's also some sweet water, so you can have enough whenever you go. And there's also banknotes—"

Xiaoliu shook his hand and said, "No need for so much. I'm afraid it's too sweet. As for any other thank-you gift, wait and let me think about it. Now you go back first. Some of them went out to buy ingredients, some went out to buy firewood, and some went out to buy wine. They will come back to eat hot pot later. It would be bad if we bump into them."

I agreed, thanked him again, packed up Qiao Bin, and carried her out of the room.

As I was almost at the gate, I saw a man standing outside, wearing a cloak with only his chin exposed.

He lifted the hood of his cloak, and his peach-shaped eyes reflected the flying snowflakes.

It’s Guifangduan.

He walked over and took Qiao Bin with one hand, and said, "Xiao Wei said you were here, so I came to pick you up."

Then he handed me a dagger with his other hand: "Here, this is what I gave you before. Don't let it fall on your clothes or in the carriage when you rescued him. Remember to keep it well."

I took the dagger and put it on my waist, then followed him out.

Maybe it was because he had just come out from Xiaoliu's place and was very emotional, his hands were shaking a little, and he didn't hold the dagger steadily, and it fell on the snow after taking a few steps.

I bent down to pick it up, and just as I stood up, my right wrist was suddenly grabbed by a snow-white hand.

It was snowing and the old wound was already aching.

I raised my head in pain.

In front of me was Ye Shiqi’s surprised face.

"Lan Xiang?!"

I haven't heard anyone call me by this name for a long time, and I shuddered. I was in a hurry to get out, and I forgot to wear a veil or disguise...

"Really you?! Look at this hand—"

Before he could finish, Gui Fangduan came back from behind him, carrying Qiao Bin.

Ye Shiqi's gaze moved from the dagger in my hand to Gui Fangduan's face, and finally fell on Qiao Bin.

A trace of pain mixed with an expression that was hard to tell whether it was anger or something else flashed across his face.

He let go.

His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to speak but couldn't.

Gui Fangduan asked him: "The child is still sick, can we talk about it later?"

He nodded: "Okay, okay."

Gui Fangduan turned his gaze to me.

"Wait!" His voice sounded again.

Gui Fangduan and I looked at him together.

Ye Shiqi frowned, pointed at the sachet with a cross embroidered on it hanging on Gui Fangduan's waist and said, "That's mine, leave it to me."

Gui Fangduan was stunned, looked at me, handed Qiao Bin to me, and reached out to take off the sachet and give it to him.

Seventeen's hands were shaking a little, and he failed to catch the sachet, so it fell onto the snow.

He bent down to pick it up. At this time, Chuanzi came back, carrying a basket of vegetables and shouted from a distance: "Shiqi, you are back?"

When he got closer, he saw me and Gui Fangduan clearly and was obviously startled, but he still greeted me honestly: "Sister Bai... Brother-in-law? Why are you here? Come in and have a meal together?"

Gui Fangduan raised his eyebrows, took Qiao Bin and held him in one hand, and said with a smile: "No, the child is still sick. Bring him here for me to see. I will go back now." After that, he raised his head to me and said: "Let's go."

I looked at Ye Shiqi deeply and saw him holding the sachet, standing there almost in a daze. His eyes seemed to be looking at me, but also seemed to be looking past me at the mottled memories of the past.

This was not the right time to talk, so I gritted my teeth, turned around and walked back with Gui Fangduan, one step at a time.

Chuanzi's sigh was faintly heard in the wind: "Wow, the Bai family's brother-in-law is quite young! He is a young lady's husband."

He was in a trance and I was stumbling along the way. My heart seemed to be frozen in the snow and the next moment it seemed to have fallen into a frying pan.

Gui Fangduan walked silently along the way, holding Qiao Bin beside me, looking thoughtful.

I walked in a daze, not having time to guess what he was thinking.

I returned to the house as stiff as an ice sculpture. Warmth surrounded me and I felt a little better.

When Wang Shiba and Xiao Wei saw us coming back, they quickly came over. Wang Shiba took Qiao Bin and touched her forehead, a big smile on his face: "Sister, you have a way. You really cured her! I was so scared! Thank you so much!"

Xiao Wei saw that I looked upset, and quickly helped me out: "Sister knows what's going on, it can't be wrong! I just boiled some water, Qiao Bin is sweating, can you go to the back and see if it's boiled? If it's boiled, we can clean it up."

Wang Shiba stepped back and walked over there with big strides. As he walked, he replied, "Then I'll go take a look."

There were only three of us left in the room. Xiao Wei asked Gui Fangduan, "What happened to my sister?"

Gui Fangduan said calmly: "It's okay, I ran into Tu Shanjing, and he seemed to recognize Lanxiang."

Xiaowei's eyes widened instantly and she remained silent.

Then he sat next to me, looked at me and said, "What are your plans next? Are you going to continue to guard him?"

Xiaowei took a few steps and said softly, "I'll go to the back to help Brother Eighteen." Then she left, leaving the space for us.

I don't know, my mind is in a mess. All kinds of expectations and emotions are mixed together, rushing through the wasteland of my heart.

Gui Fangduan looked at me like this, sighed, and said, "Let's eat first. I'll go out and buy some."
