those in the rivers and lakes

Chapter 22 Qing Gu
The river was not very cold, and gradually it became less urgent. Lu Xingbo smiled wryly in his heart, feeling as if he had rushed out of the Palace of the King of Hades.It seems that the time has not come yet, Lord Yan thought he came too early.

He couldn't see and didn't know where he was.After tossing like this, I have no strength in my body at this moment, I thought to just float with the river, there will always be a time to stop, if I can't stop and flow eastward into the sea, then it's time.

There was only a sound in the water, and someone said to him: "Grab the bamboo pole!"

Lu Xingbo reached out to grab it, and sure enough, he grabbed a bamboo pole.The man said again: "Hold on tight, I will pull you up!"

"it is good!"

Lu Xingbo grabbed the bamboo pole tightly, and the man used all his strength to pull him to the shore little by little, then grabbed his clothes tightly, and dragged him to the shore.

"It's dead dead!"

"Thank you girl for helping me out!"

"No need, I'll take you home after I pack up!"

Lu Xingbo smiled lightly and said, "Thank you very much! What's the girl's name?"

"My name is Qing Gu, what do I call you?"

"My name is Lu Xingbo!"

Qing Gu walked up to him, looked at him carefully, and couldn't help asking: "Your eyes look so strange, are they hurt?
"

"My eyes were injured by poisonous smoke not long ago, and now I can't see anything, I'm blind!"

"Are you blind? But you are so young!"

"I'm 20 years old, I don't know the age of the girl?"

"I'm two years older than you, why are there so many holes in your clothes?"

"I got hurt and now it hurts like hell!"

Qing Gu tore off a part of her clothes and said anxiously, "Why are you injured so badly?"

"I still have several wounds like this on my body!"

"Then let's go quickly, you just soaked in the water, the wound will rot after a long time!"

"Is your place far from here?"

"Not far, let's go!"

"it is good!"

Qinggu lived in a thatched cottage, not far from the river bank.But the house is very hidden because it is built in the bamboo forest.

"Take off your clothes and wipe yourself clean!"

"okay!"

"The bed is on your right, you will sleep here from now on."

"Then where do you sleep?"

"I sleep here too, there is another bed over there!"

"Ok!"

Qinggu dried the freshly washed clothes and smashed some herbs. Lu Xingbo lay on the bed, but his head was dizzy, he wanted to sleep but couldn't.

"These herbs are for trauma, come, I'll apply it to you!"

"Oh, I'll do it myself, it's inconvenient for you to be my daughter's house!"

"You're so badly injured, and you can't see your eyes, how can you do it yourself?"

"It's okay, I'll take it easy!"

Aunt Qing was a little angry, and said urgently: "If you want to survive, don't talk too much!"

"Then, well, I'm sorry!"

Qinggu lifted the quilt, and when he saw Lu Xingbo's wounds all over his body, his eyes were already moist.

"Why do you have so many wounds on your body?"

"I was hunted down and nearly died!"

"Why did they kill you?"

"It's for revenge!"

"You killed someone?"

"I have killed six people. Now that you know that I have killed people, are you afraid in your heart?"

"not afraid!"

Lu Xingbo smiled lightly: "You must not have told the truth, or you simply don't believe that I will kill someone!"

"But I believe in myself, I have no regrets for saving you!"

"The way you speak is so special. It sounds cold, but it makes people feel comfortable in the heart."

Aunt Qing didn't talk to him, she continued to apply medicine to him, and after applying the medicine, she said: "Your wound won't hurt so much, go to sleep at ease, I'll boil some medicine for internal use!"

"Then trouble you!"

"fine!"

Qing Gu was making medicine outside, and Lu Xingbo lay on the bed and slowly fell asleep. When he woke up, candles were already lit in the room, so it was night.

After sleeping for so long, I couldn't help but my mouth was dry, and I couldn't help coughing a few times when I sat up enduring the pain.

"you're awake?"

"Aunt Qing, is that you?"

"Well, it's me!"

"Have you been here all this time?"

"I finished the herbal medicine, but you haven't woken up yet. I wanted to wait for you for a while, but I fell asleep on the table when I was a little tired!"

"It's really hard for you!"

"Fortunately!"

Qing Gu helped him to the table and poured him another glass of water.There were two kinds of stir-fried vegetables on the table, and Lu Xingbo couldn't help laughing when he smelled the aroma of the vegetables: "The dishes are really delicious!"

"You must be hungry, eat more!"

Lu Xingbo drank some water, said while eating: "Your cooking is delicious, did you learn it from your mother?"

"No, I live alone, and I don't know how to do it at first, it will be fine after a long time!"

Hearing the voice, Qinggu was a little unhappy, Lu Xingbo didn't know why, but he didn't want to make Qinggu feel sad, and said with a smile: "You are really good, you know how to save people with medicine. If I didn't have you today, I still don't know I'm dead It's alive!"

"God has made you blind, and will not let you die again!"

"Maybe! By the way, why do you have so many herbs here?"

"I make a living by gathering herbs. I buy everything I eat, wear, and use with the money from selling medicine."

"Oh, it is!"

"When the weather is good, I will go to the nearby mountains to collect herbs. When I have a basket, I will send it to the medicine shop in the town not far away to exchange for money."

"Then you just said that you live here alone, is that true?"

"Why should I lie to you? Of course it's true!"

"But it looks a bit desolate here, why don't you live in the village? There are more people, so there is someone to take care of you."

"Me, here is more suitable for me!"

"Oh!"

"Take it slowly, I'll heat up the medicine!"

Lu Xingbo thought to himself: "This girl is really different from the ones I saw before. It seems that she has experienced many things, which is why she is so stubborn!"

After taking the meal, the medicine was already warmed up. Qing Gu put the medicine on the table and said, "I'm a little tired and I'm going to sleep first. If you can't sleep, go for a walk outside. The medicine is right in front of you. Drink it while it's hot." !"

"Okay, got it!"
