Chapter 148 Carry Her
Xia Zihan was delicate, and her shoes were full of sand. Before she even stepped out of the Minjiang River, she took a foot in the water, and she frowned in pain.
She wanted to pour the sand out of her shoes, but she was embarrassed to be surrounded by a large group of men.
what to do?
The pace slowed down, and there was a slight limp. After Chu Jingqi noticed it, he paused and said calmly to the guards, "You all turned around. I didn't ask you to turn back. You are not allowed to look back."
Although he was small, he still had such a strong momentum. The guards did not dare to neglect him at all. They brushed him off and turned around.
Chu Jingqi knelt down and took off Xia Zihan's shoes.
"What are you going to do?" Xia Zihan held his hand.
Although she had lived in a room with him for half a month, it was not like he had never seen her feet with her shoes off, and even her body was exposed by him, but that was all in the previous life, not this life. .
Chu Jingqi looked up with a serious expression, "If the sand in your shoes is not poured out, do you still want to take them to the boat?"
Uh...
Well, Chu Jingqi's move moved her.
Xia Zihan let go of her hand and obediently asked him to take off her shoes, and also let her feet temporarily borrow his knees.
Seeing him carefully pouring out all the sand from her shoes, and then patting off the sand that stuck to her socks. Seeing the blood stains on the socks, Xia Zihan clearly felt that his little face was a little cold. , the little mouth also pursed tighter.
Lifting her feet to take off her socks, Xia Zihan's heart tightened and she grabbed his hand, "You...what are you going to do? Don't worry about this, just put on your shoes."< br>
"If you don't pop the blood blisters, how will you walk tomorrow? If you are infected, your feet will still be filled with pustules. You..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking, I'll let you do it." Xia Zihan couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body when she thought of the pustules on her feet.
It's so scary and disgusting.
She didn't want her beautiful feet to look like that.
Chu Jingqi carefully helped her sit on top of her shoe, and then placed her feet on his knees.
"You have to be gentle, I'm afraid of pain."
Xia Zihan warned worriedly.
Chu Jingqi ignored her, but moved a little gently, carefully taking off her bloody socks and putting them aside.
There were five or six blood blisters on the soles of her feet, and two more were broken, and they were all bleeding, which was particularly conspicuous on her beautiful white feet.
He felt a breath rising in his chest and couldn't help scolding her, "Are you a fool? Your feet are like this and you don't know how to squeak? If I hadn't seen you walking wrong, would you have planned to walk back like this? Go on the boat?”
"I... I just wanted to hold on and get to the ferry. I didn't expect it to be so serious." Xia Zihan said innocently and aggrieved.
She pulled off her purse and handed it to him, "There are hemostatic medicine and gauze inside."
There isn't much gauze, and it's definitely not enough for two feet.
Xia Zihan thought for a while, lifted up her dress, and tore off a strip of cloth from the inner skirt.
But she didn't notice that when she lifted up her skirt, Chu Jingqi's hands froze, and then her little face turned red.
After a long time, the blush gradually subsided.
Children in ancient times matured early. Some boys married their wives at the age of twelve or thirteen and were able to consummate the marriage. The same goes for women. Some women got married early, at the age of thirteen, but women had to wait until the age of fifteen to have hairpins. You can consummate your marriage only at your age.
There was no water and the river was dirty. Chu Jingqi did not dare to use it, fearing that Xia Zihan's feet would become infected faster if one of them was not used properly.
He had no choice but to wipe the wound carefully with a handkerchief, then sprinkle a layer of hemostatic medicine, wrap it in gauze, and then help her put on her shoes.
The other foot was better. There were two fewer blood blisters and they were not broken. However, it was still pricked by Chu Jingqi with the tip of a dagger.
After fixing a pair of feet, Xia Zihan stood up and felt pain on the soles of his feet. It was the pain of a pool of blood being opened.
As soon as Xia Zihan stood up, he was carried on his back.
She couldn't react in time, and she said ah, and then became angry, "Chu Jingqi, let me down, I will walk by myself." She also deliberately repeated, "I can walk back by myself."
"But I'm hungry. I don't want to get back to the boat in the middle of the night." Chu Jingqi said.
That attitude cannot be refused.
Xia Zihan shut up and lay obediently on Chu Jingqi's back.
Yes, just carry it, and if someone carries it, she will be happy and relaxed.
Anyway, it was dark now, there were few people walking on the road, and there were few people she saw. Even if she saw her, no one knew her, so what was she afraid of.
As for the guards around her, she believed they didn't dare to talk casually.
Maybe it was because the surroundings were too quiet, or maybe Chu Jingqi's back was too comfortable. In short, after playing for an afternoon, Xia Zihan felt sleepy, and her head was dozing off little by little.
Really unable to withstand Duke Zhou's call, she yawned and said in a daze, "Chu Jingqi, I'm going to take a nap and tell me in advance when you get to the ferry."
"Yeah, I got it."
The voice was very soft, but it reached her ears. The corners of her mouth curled up, she muttered something, and fell into sleep.
As if he felt that she was asleep, Chu Jingqi slowed down a little, and tightened his hands on her legs, as if he was worried that she would fall. However, after confirming that she was asleep, he still wrapped his hands around her legs. Without letting go of his neck, his slightly lifted heart fell to the ground little by little.
A group of people walked quietly through the street. The occasional passers-by would look at them curiously, but Chu Jingqi didn't care.
No one knows them, so why do they care so much?
When a group of people approached the ferry, the moon was already above the treetops, and Chu Jingqi softly called Xia Zihan.
"Ayu, wake up quickly, we have arrived at the ferry."
"Ayu..."
After calling it several times in a row, Xia Zihan fell into a sleep as heavy as a dead pig, and everyone beside him became anxious.
He wanted to tell Chu Jingqi, 'Second Young Master, don't be so gentle. Who can wake up with that sound that's louder than a fly? ’
No matter how loud he shouted in his heart, he didn't dare to tell the second young master directly.
Humph, it's rare to see the second young master be so gentle to someone, he hasn't seen enough yet.
"Ayu, we have arrived at the ferry. If you don't wake up, I will carry you directly to the boat. I will not be responsible for any rumors that will be made then."
If Xia Zihan was not engaged, Chu Jingqi would not care about her and would just get on the boat.
But she was engaged and he couldn't hurt her.
After calling for a long time, and even Miss Moon couldn't help but worry about Chu Jingqi, Xia Zihan finally woke up.
She wiped her eyes and said, "We'll be here so soon."
quick?
Please, the second young master walked as if he were stepping on ants. He took almost three hours on a road that could obviously be walked in an hour. Is this fast?
Shengdi stood behind Chu Jingqi and rolled her eyes.
Xia Zihan slid off Chu Jingqi's back. Because she didn't pay attention, the sole of her foot hurt when she landed. The pain made her scream.
"It's better for me to carry you up." Seeing her frowning in pain, he really couldn't bear it.
He quickly took off his coat, covered Xia Zihan from head to toe, and then carried her on his back without waiting for Xia Zihan's consent.
"Hey, Chu Jingqi, you are going to die. We are almost at the ferry. Put me down quickly." There are a lot of people coming and going at this ferry, and most of them are people going to the capital. Maybe there are people inside who know them. Not sure yet.
If she was recognized, she would have to be a human being.
Chu Jingqi paused, but still did not put her down, "Don't worry, no one can recognize you."
The panicked Xia Zihan realized that there was something covering her head.
Well, no one could recognize her, and even if he carried her on the boat, it wouldn't matter, as long as no one saw her face, let others speculate.
Besides, Chu Jingqi can say which maid it is, who dares to come to her for confirmation.
Xia Zihan was silent.
When she arrived at the ferry, she heard the worried voices of Mr. Zhuo and Prince Chu. They seemed worried and had been waiting for them at the ferry.
The couple were also shrewd. When they saw Chu Jingqi carrying her, they didn't say anything or ask any questions. They ordered a maid to take over Chu Jingqi's work, then escorted them onto the boat and went straight to the third floor.
He went directly into Zhuo's house.
It wasn't until the maid put her down that Zhuo asked worriedly, "What's going on, Ayu, how come you were carried back by Aqi?"
Xia Zihan's face turned red and she was confused as to how to answer. Then she heard Chu Jingqi say, "She injured her foot and I have taken care of it, but she still needs to walk less these days."
Zhuo was surprised that her son could say so many words in one sentence, and he was talking to Ayu, who he was not dealing with.
Mrs. Zhuo was cheerful and wanted to tease her son a few words, but when she saw Xia Zihan's face turned red with embarrassment, she did not dare to follow her heart.
After all, Ayu is engaged, so no gossip can be spread, otherwise her reputation will be ruined.
After Chu Jingqi went out, Mrs. Zhuo took a look at Xia Zihan's injuries. When she saw the blood blisters on her feet, Mrs. Zhuo felt distressed and couldn't help complaining to her, "I'm tired from walking, and I don't know how to rest. I can't bear to rest." , It’s okay to let your brother carry it. It’s better now. The blood blisters on my feet hurt so much.”
Then he took her hand and asked them with a smile where they went to play. The gossip in his eyes made Xia Zihan roll his eyes.
"I went to Minjiang to play." Xia Zihan answered truthfully.
"Isn't it fun? Have you seen the tide?" Zhuo said excitedly, "It's early September now. Although the tide is not big, you can still see it."
It seems that Prince Chu used the excuse of looking for a miracle doctor to treat his illness and brought Zhuo here to play.
"Have Aqi bullied you? Just tell your aunt. If he dares to bully you, your aunt will help you beat him up." Mrs. Zhuo looked like I am your biological mother and his stepmother, which made Xia Zihan smile. Straight up.
Auntie, if you cheat your son like this, is your son really your biological son?
However, being truly loved by someone makes my heart feel warm and comfortable.
