Broken wings

Liu Xici

didn't seem to be awake yet, she looked at her for a while, but she didn't seem to recognize it, she was old, the whites of her eyes had begun to become cloudy, Qi Xiu felt that she was struggling to see things, Liu Xici repeated again: "Girl, it's you, right?"

Qi Xiu was sad and wanted to cry, and replied: "It's me, Xiu Ji, do you recognize it?"

Liu Xici's eyelashes flickered a few times, and a look of pain appeared on her face: "Ouch, why does my body hurt so much...... Will I be able to survive until my daughter comes back? I don't have a few days to live, I miss her, do you send her a message? How does this leg look like it has been chiseled by an axe, ouch, it hurts, ......."

"Are you in pain?" Qi Xiu blew his nose and got up to call the doctor, "Doctor, my mother said that she hurts, is there a way to make her less painful?"

"There is only the herb to drink hemp boiling powder and pain relief, but she is this age, the

effect is not great, and she can't feed the medicine frequently, the slightest accident will happen, she just used hemp boiling powder in the afternoon, she fell asleep for two hours, can no longer use it, can only hold on like this. "

Qi Xiu went back gloomily, sitting on the edge of the bed, Liu Xici seemed to be a little sober, and stretched out her hand: "Xiu Ji, where did you go just now? "

Qi Xiu Ji put his palm on the teapot and tested the temperature, quickly poured a cup of warm water, lifted her head, and fed her to drink. Liu Xici muttered, "I seem to be a little hungry." Qi Xiujin hurriedly brought the lunch box and tested the temperature, the temperature was not hot or cold, so he helped her to sit up, put a pillow on the back, and leaned on the head of the bed, "I made you two side dishes, and a tonic soup, taste the taste." "

Liu Xici drank the soup fed by Qi Xiu Ji one by one, looked at her while drinking, Qi Xiu sent another spoonful, but she didn't drink it, she kept looking at her in a daze, stretched out her hand to the quilt, touched her shoulder, and said to herself: "Over the years, you must have suffered a lot." When you were hurt, when you were in pain, you never told us, my mother is very sorry, you relied on me when you were young, but when you grew up, all the sad times, never thought to tell your mother, in this world, your mother is the person who loves you the most. "

Looking at Liu Xici's tears, Qi Xiu had mixed feelings in her heart, and lowered her head slightly, she didn't know why, she had suffered a lot and suffered a lot of sins over the years, but she just didn't think about telling her family that home was not a shelter for her, she was used to it.

Liu Xici pinched her shoulders and lowered her eyes: "You used to be meaty, and we always said that you should lose weight, why did you suddenly lose ......weight like this?"

Qi Xiu snorted, still couldn't speak, she hadn't confided her weakness to her family for too long, she didn't know how to open her mouth, Liu Xici's palm slowly shifted to her face, and rubbed it one by one: "Girl, my mother doesn't have many days left, it's good to see you again, my mother knows that you are defending the country and the people, and you should be busy." However, my mother is not wrong to think of you, and my mother is afraid that you will not be able to beat others, afraid that you will be injured, afraid that you will bleed, and afraid that you will endanger your life. Mother's wish is the same as all mothers in the world, that is, I hope that my children can live peacefully to old age, you have a daughter's family, my mother used to only think you were strong, now it seems that you are really stronger than many men, my daughter, is a very good child. "

"Mother, are you awake now?".

"I'm a little dizzy, but I'm awake. "

That night, Liu Xici knew some interesting things about Qi Xiu's

pilgrimage on the battlefield, and her growth along the way, until Liu Xici fell asleep sleepily, and Qi Xiu's tears fell on the corners of her clothes: "Later, your daughter showed her magic and beat those traitors to the ground...... At the end, she looked up at Liu Xici's old face, "Look, I told you everything you want to hear, Xiaoci go to bed quickly." "

Liu Xici's illness is a bottomless pit if it is to be cured, she survives in the military camp for a day, not enough for her to drink a dose of medicine, she is now desperate, she can only plan to borrow from Bizhou Cheng first, and then find a way to make money, if it is really necessary, she may leave the barracks, no matter how hard and tiring the work is, as long as she gives money, she will do it.

The only thing that makes her happy now is that there is someone at home to take care of her, and she can concentrate on working outside, otherwise she can watch her mother being tortured by illness all day long, how can she settle down and do things.

Qi Xiu rushed back to Long'an It was almost time, she went back to Su Jiu's house first, but found that she forgot to bring the key, so she slapped the door loudly: "Open the door!" There was a sound of water inside, and Su Jiu hurriedly answered, "It's coming, it's coming." At this time, Qi Xiu had too many emotions to vent, and slapped the door more vigorously, "Open the door!" Su Jiu didn't even bother to wipe the water stains on his body, so he put on a piece of clothing to open the door, and Qi Xiu Jin yelled directly at her, "Are you dead? It took so long to open the door!"

Su Jiu saw that she was in a bad mood, and closed the door a little cautiously: "I'm taking a bath." "

Qi Xiu

was so tired that he collapsed in the chair, his eyes were staring at the air blankly, Su Jiu wiped the water stains on his body, put on his clothes, and walked over: "Xiu Qi, are you okay? I haven't seen you for a few days, I went to ask the marshal, and he said that you went home, is something wrong?"

Qi Xiu's eyes blurred for a moment, and a tear slipped down: "My mother is paralyzed." "

Su Jiu was shocked for a while before hugging her.

Qi Xiu's body rose and fell violently, and his hands slowly held his head: "Why is it so difficult for me to have a peaceful birthday!"

Su Jiu put his hand along her arm and opened his mouth to say: "I still have some savings, you can take it ......" Qi Xiu shook his head helplessly, "It's not enough, it's far from enough, treatment is simply burning money, and I was born to pay off my debts in ......this life."

"Then, what about the rest of your family, let's get together together......" Qi Xiujin shook his head bitterly, "My father can't get the money from the family, he wants to keep it for his children and grandchildren, and my sister and their family have also spent a lot, and they are ready to sell the extra house." "

Su Jiu thought that she was still sick and couldn't do any work, because she was sick before, she was busy running around, and now that this incident happened, how much pressure her was on.

Su Jiu gently smoothed her arm: "Hugh, don't put too much pressure on yourself, she is not your mother alone, nor is she your relatives alone, everyone works together, you can't have benefits and no part of yours, if something happens, you will be left to carry it, let's think of a way." "

Qi Xiu sobbed in a low voice, and Su Jiu said, "If you don't go to the marshal, he will definitely help you." "

"I can

only do this first, but I'm afraid, I still owe Ah Cong so much, and then borrow it, how can I afford to pay back so much money......

."

"It's okay, let's make money steadily, and one day we can pay it off, I'll be with you. "

Qi Xiu turned around and hugged her, and sobbed: "I'm very afraid, there will be no mother in the future." Su Jiu ran her hair, "No, I just discovered the disease, and there is still the possibility of cure, it's a big deal that we will save another province over the years, it doesn't matter if the days are hard, whether you enjoy happiness or hardship, I will accompany you." "

Qi Xiu said a lot of things upside down, from the grievances she suffered when she was a child, to the ignorance after she came out, and then to force her to get married, and finally counted all the things she had done for the family over the years, and finally fell asleep when she was tired of crying. Su Jiu put a warm towel on her and wiped her face, then tucked the quilt for her, and just looked at her by the bed. Indeed, if she hadn't taken care of her family, she would have been better off now, not to mention anything else, at least she would have already had a house. But how can there be so many ifs, she is not a hard-hearted person, she pays for her family, and if she can't get their gratitude, she can only persuade herself, just to repay the kindness of nurturing. But it is all these experiences that have made her what she is now.

When Qi Xiu woke up, she smelled a strong aroma of rice, she squinted her eyes to see, Su Jiu was putting food on the table, looked out the window, the bright sunlight shone into the room, showing a little warmth, she muttered: "What time is it?".

"Three moments. Su Jiu turned around and smiled at her, "I counted the time, you should wake up at this time, get up and eat, and make what you like to eat." "

Qi Xiu got up, went to wash up, put on his middle coat and made it to the table: "Well, yes, there are not only noodles but also vegetables." "

"Yes, freshly out of the pot, eat it while it's hot. Su Jiu handed her the chopsticks, and Qi Xiu took them and ate them, "I'll go to the barracks later, and tell the marshal about my family, but what worries me is that my mother's illness can't be cured overnight, so how can I borrow money from the marshal." "

"Just tell me the truth, how much are you going to borrow?".

"Five thousand taels. Qi Xiu paused and his eyes were gloomy, "I still owe Ah Cong 10,000 taels, how young can I pay off so much money, if this money is not enough, I don't have the face to borrow it a second time." "

"Then go and borrow it, if the marshal can get it on hand, put our names on the IOU, and we will return it together." "

"Hmm. "

"You relax, the money is earned by people, and we will be able to pay it off one day. When I was recuperating at the Chongde Medical Center, I would make some Yingluo purses and sell them when I had nothing to do, and I could save a little bit of money. "

Qi Xiu looked up at her: "You are so good." Su Jiu held her hand comfortingly.

"By the way, aren't you staying at the Chongde Medical Center, how can you come back to live again?"

"It was Lin Xian who came to Chongde Medical Center to find Dr. Fan, I heard about your return to your hometown, so I went back to the camp to inquire without worry, and I rested at home at night. "

"You better go back to the infirmary first and take care of it, don't move around anymore, your body is important. "
