late Qing Dynasty arrest

Zhu Dinghe and Fan Dahui couldn't help but "enter the shed!" Li Guolou and the other three students said goodbye at the gate of Meifenglou.He was also confused by drinking, and instead of walking towards Ai Hai's house, he walked towards Hongchang Hutong in the opposite direction, remembering that his home was in Dongdan Pailou, so he was heading east.

Li Guolou walked eastward in the vast night with frivolous footsteps. The night was already deep, and there was no carriage on the snow-covered street.Carriage shops do not do business in this weather, the roads are difficult and easy to overturn, and there are no lights in the houses on the side of the road, and most people are already immersed in their dreams.Li Guolou had already forgotten how far Hongchang Hutong was from here. He lowered his top hat, wrapped his black scarf around his neck tightly, and walked carefully on the street with his head bowed and his neck shrunk.The road was slippery, and he stepped on the snow with one deep foot and one shallow foot. He fell on the snow several times.

Jiu Jin resisted the cold, but Li Guolou was not afraid of the cold for a while, and he became sober as he walked, suddenly remembering that he was going in the wrong direction.Relying on the light from the street lights at the intersection, Li Guolou took out his pocket watch to check the time. He saw that it was already ten o'clock at night, and he had walked for an hour, at least another hour to go.The road was too slippery for him to walk fast. Even thieves would not come out to steal in this weather, but he had to walk slowly in the ice and snow.

"Drinking is a mistake! You must quit drinking in the future!" Li Guolou muttered to himself.

On the road, I was stopped by several yamen guards on patrol. Fortunately, Li Guolou's badge was still there. I saw that he was an arrester from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the patrolling yamen guards did not make things difficult for Li Guolou. It’s starting to snow again, why don’t you even bring an umbrella?”

Only then did Li Guolou remember that he forgot his umbrella in Jiaofeng Building, so he could only lie and say, "Oh, I live not far from the front, it's okay."

After saying hello, Li Guolou regretted it more and more as he walked. It was uncomfortable to beat a swollen face to pretend to be a fat man. The wind and snow were full, even if there were houses on one side, half of the wind and snow were blocked, it was still very hard for people to walk.What kind of wine are you drinking!Fortunately, he was not drunk, otherwise the capital would have many corpses tonight.

Bolan Street is a street that Li Guolou is very familiar with. The yard of the second grandmother Xie Xiuzhu is in front of it. I wonder if the second grandmother has moved back to the mansion?Li Guolou regretted and regretted that if his second grandmother Xie Xiuzhu didn't live here, he could stay here now.30 meters from the corner is the entrance of Wei Mansion. Should I go in and borrow an umbrella?After thinking about it, Li Guolou felt that the second grandmother, Xie Xiuzhu, should go back to the old house.

The door of Wei Mansion was knocked open by Li Guolou, and Li Guolou said a little ashamedly: "You disturbed Wei Xiaoqi, do you still know me?"

Wei Xiaoqi held the oil lamp and said with a smile, "Xiao Lizi, what's the matter so late?"

Li Guolou said: "I forgot to bring my umbrella when I went out, and I want to ask you to borrow one."

Wei Xiaoqi said: "Well, there is a smell of alcohol, Xiao Li must have forgotten where the umbrella is. Come in and live, there are no women here, so don't leave in such a heavy snow. Now there are only me and Xu Biao in the yard, It won't be inconvenient."

Li Guolou's body was already trembling, and he wanted to say no, but he really didn't want to go out at night again, and then he thought that the man would be happy with his situation, he was kind to the Wei family, and it was nothing to live in a mansion, let alone a man.

Li Guolou said: "Little Seven, if you cause trouble, I will borrow an umbrella, don't make it difficult."

Wei Xiaoqi took Li Guolou's arm and dragged him into the mansion, and said, "What's the trouble, there are only three elders here, no one will gossip. You are already soaked, you will get sick if you don't dry it. "

The door was closed, and Li Guolou went to the kitchen on the west side to light the stove first. Now that he was wet all over, he could easily catch typhoid fever.

Wei Xiaoqi was lighting a fire by the stove, Li Guolou said embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, I asked you to get up from the bed, and you still have to light a fire for me."

The fire was lit, and the room began to warm up. Wei Xiaoqi looked at the burning fire and said, "Little Li, why are you being so polite? I didn't save your life. It's not convenient for you to live in the south room. The three of us live together." room, you don't mind."

Li Guolou began to take off his coat and said, "I don't mind, the three of us live warmly."

Wei Xiaoqi said: "Xiao Lizi, I think you're going to be sick like this. Don't sleep now, warm up the fire slowly, and I'll cook a bowl of ginger soup for you."

Li Guolou knew that there was a cold in his body, if he didn't get rid of the cold, he would easily get seriously ill, and it was all because of drinking himself.Said: "Xiao Qizi, then I will be impolite, bring me some more clothes, and my clothes will also get wet."

Wei Xiaoqi left the kitchen, Li Guolou was warming up by the stove with his top hat on.His eyes were a little blurred, he was in a trance, and his body began to wobble, hot and cold.He was overjoyed today, he was outside blowing the northwest wind for a while, drinking in a warm room for a while, and playing snowball fights on the street for a while, tossing back and forth all day, although his body is very good, but the tossing is too much for him, and he messed up at night, this time It is difficult for the gods to save him.Secretly regretting that it's nothing to sleep in Jiaofeng Tower, why should he suffer so much for his face? Now this sudden illness has made him collapse all of a sudden.

After drinking the ginger soup, Li Guolou curled up under the blanket and said, "Little Qizi, get me a doctor tomorrow, and don't let the second grandma know. Otherwise, I won't recognize you as friends."

Xu Biao nestled under the quilt and said: "You are;;;;;; sick, sleep;;;;;; still want;;;;;;; Second Mistress, looking for cigarettes!"

"Xu Biao, your speech has improved a lot." Li Guolou said the last sentence vaguely, and fell asleep in a daze.

Li Guolou was covered with three quilts and was still shivering with cold. Wei Xiaoqi touched Li Guolou's forehead and said with a smile, "I have a fever! You go back to the house tomorrow morning and report to Second Grandma. I will go to the doctor. Others We don't care about things."

Xu Biao said: "Well, then;;;;;;Little Li;;;;;;, what should I do if I want to leave?"

Wei Xiaoqi said: "I can't leave, don't even think about moving tomorrow, Xiao Li probably lost his love, and wants to come here to find warmth."

Xu Biao glanced obscenely at Wei Xiaoqi, and the two laughed secretly.

The doctor came to see Li Guolou in the morning and woke up Li Guolou. He wanted to be clean and wanted to get up to wash up, but the doctor stopped him, saying that he was seriously ill and could only wash up on the bed.

Li Guolou could only brush his teeth and wash his face on the bed. After grooming, Li Guolou asked, "Doctor, my illness doesn't matter."

The doctor said: "It doesn't matter, you are young and strong, you can get up after a few days of rest."

Li Guolou struggled a few times, and sighed: "Langzhong, I have no strength, why can't I get up?"

The doctor said: "Didn't I tell you not to get up in bed? How can a high fever go away so quickly? Your fever hasn't subsided yet. Drink the porridge first, and then drink the medicine later, so that you will have the strength to get up." "

Li Guolou said: "Oh, that's good, I'll leave after I finish my porridge, Xiao Qizi will take the medicine back for me to drink."

Wei Xiaoqi said: "Oh, I'm going to cook the porridge right now, you sleep for a while."

The doctor said: "Young man, your illness is still very serious. It is best not to get wind. If you want to leave, you must wrap up tightly. You must not get cold wind again, otherwise the gods will not be able to save you."

Li Guolou said: "I know my body, typhoid fever can't defeat me."

The doctor said angrily: "Young man, you have to listen to what the doctor said, don't be brave, you may die from typhoid fever. Take the medicine first, and I will come to see you tomorrow."

Li Guolou said: "Langzhong, what's your last name? I won't be here tomorrow."

A person at the door said loudly: "Jin Langzhong, don't talk too much with him, this man is very cheap, don't give him a good look, if you come here tomorrow, he won't go anywhere."

Xie Xiuzhu looked at Li Guolou with a grim expression. She was dressed in plain clothes, but she was wearing lipstick and rouge. She had moth eyebrows, pale eyebrows and red lips, and a blush appeared in her fair skin.

As the saying goes, women are beautiful and filial, and Li Guolou was caught off guard by the appearance of Xie Xiuzhu. He only took one look, and his heart began to "thump!"Li Guolou fell on the bed in vain, closed his eyes and couldn't believe the scene in front of him, and told himself in his heart, be calm!This is "Pan Jinlian" who was born as a singer, widow, Kefu, ominous, contrived, liar, and worse, older than him.

A cold little hand had already touched Li Guolou's forehead, Xie Xiuzhu said in a low voice, "My friend, you missed me."

There were only two people in the room, and Li Guolou couldn't escape anymore, he deserved it, he sent it to his door.He had nowhere to run in his underwear.

Li Guolou closed his eyes and didn't dare to open them. He pretended to be stupid, but now he had no choice but to ignore them.There was already a wet feeling on her face, it was Xie Xiuzhu's whirling tears.Li Guolou felt his head was about to split and his heart ached. Would Xie Xiuzhu be willing to weep and cry?

Xie Xiuzhu choked up and said, "I know I shouldn't miss you, but why did you come? My friend, you are hurting me."

His face was wet, and there was still a salty taste in his mouth. Li Guolou couldn't help but stretched out his hand to wipe it, and opened his eyes.

Xie Xiuzhu smiled through tears, and pouted, "My friend, I thought you were dead. Am I good-looking?"

Li Guolou looked at Xie Xiuzhu who was sitting by the bed, held back the evil thoughts in his heart, and answered the wrong question: "Xie Xiuzhu, why are you here?"

Xie Xiuzhu said angrily: "I should ask you here, my friend, you are necrotic." While speaking, one of her left hands quietly reached into the quilt, touched Li Guolou's left hand, and gently held it.

Li Guolou was startled suddenly, and wanted to pull out his left hand, and moved a little, but was held tightly by Xie Xiuzhu again.He also didn't have the courage to use his strength, as if he enjoyed the feeling of being pitied in his heart.

Li Guolou argued: "Xie Xiuzhu, I drank too much yesterday. I went home in the wrong direction and forgot to bring my umbrella. I almost died in the snowstorm. I happened to pass by here and wanted to borrow an umbrella. Wei Xiaoqi saw I was very embarrassed, so I was told to live here, I never thought that I would not be able to bear it when I came in, I told Xiao Qizi not to disturb you, I was going to leave in the morning after drinking the porridge and taking a dose of medicine."

Xie Xiuzhu looked at Li Guolou with a smile, slightly annoyed, and said coquettishly: "Well, my friend, you are in good health, why don't you talk so much. Do you want me to pour you a glass of water? "

Li Guolou nodded involuntarily, his whole body was weak, he sweated a lot at night, his mouth was dry and his throat was a little sore.A pair of eyes stared blankly at Xie Xiuzhu's leaving figure, walking so gracefully.
