Chapter 263: The Weak Sister of the Heroine in the Period Novel (9)

After the things in the room fell to the ground, there was no more movement.

Gu Zhen pushed the door gently, and it creaked and opened a crack, revealing that it was bolted from the inside.

This was not a problem for her. She just had to find some firewood in the yard.

After Gu Zhen entered the room, he placed the things on the table in the moonlight and lit the kerosene lamp.

The small room was filled with a table and a tattered wooden bed.

It was clean, but it was a little too pathetic.

Rong Pei fell to the ground, hugging himself and trembling all over. Gu Zhen quickly ran over and helped him up.

"What's wrong? My goodness, it's so hot! You have a fever!"

Gu Zhen was anxious and wanted to carry the person to the bed, but he ignored the fact that he was also a skinny guy weighing 80 kilograms, and he tried very hard but failed to move the person.

Rong Pei coughed a few times, grabbed her, and said with difficulty: "It's okay, I can do it myself, please help me."

He just felt a little dizzy after standing up suddenly, but he is much better now.

Gu Zhen helped him lie down, and touched his wrist. Oh my god, it was too thin, so bony.

The mattress on the bed was too hard and the quilt was not warm enough. Rong Pei was wearing a big cotton-padded jacket, so it was strange that he could keep warm.

"Take off your clothes! Wearing a cotton jacket and covering yourself with a quilt won't make you warmer, it will only make you colder!"

Gu Zhen was glad that she brought a quilt with her.

Rong Pei's teeth were chattering from the cold. He felt a little embarrassed. He was only wearing a patched single piece of clothing under his cotton-padded jacket, which made him look even thinner and frailer.

He smelled a scent of vanishing cream on the new quilt.

It's extremely reassuring.

Gu Zhen covered him tightly and wanted to pour some hot water, but the kettle was empty, so she had to go boil some hot water first.

After finishing the work, I found that Rong Pei's face was frighteningly red.

"I'm going to find the barefoot doctor in the village. Please hold on for a while."

Rong Pei nodded dazedly. The quilt was so warm today, something he hadn't felt for a long time.

Gu Zhen sighed, put his original quilt on top, closed the door, and ran away.

The barefoot doctor was woken up just after he fell asleep. Just as he was about to complain, a food coupon was stuffed into his hand. He immediately changed his tone and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Who's feeling unwell?"

"I have a fever. Just prescribe something to reduce the fever and treat the cough."

It’s no big deal. They have some Western medicine on hand.

Gu Zhen took the medicine and ran all the way. By the time he reached Rong Pei, he was already out of breath and sweating.

Her health isn't much better.

Rong Pei was almost unconscious at this time, and he kept mumbling, as if he was calling for his parents.

Gu Zhen touched his forehead, helped him lean against his arms, and fed him medicine little by little with hot water.

Rong Pei only felt sour and itchy in his heart, and in a daze he seemed to have returned to his childhood, when his gentle and beautiful mother also held him like this and called him baby in the softest tone.

"Mother......"

Gu Zhen wiped his tears, wiped the water from the corners of his mouth, and patted his arm: "Go to sleep, the fever will go away when you wake up."

......

The next morning, Rong Pei wrapped himself in the quilt and seemed to think that he had dreamed of his parents.

He touched the soft quilt on his body and immediately woke up.

It’s not mom, it seems like it was Gu Zhiqing who came yesterday.

Rong Pei sat up and felt that he no longer had a fever, but his whole body was weak.

He glanced around the room and almost burst into tears.

There was a plate of dumplings and a plate of vegetables on the stool at the head of the bed, and a kettle on the floor next to it that did not belong to him.

He hasn't eaten this in years.

Rong Pei got out of bed, put on his cotton jacket, poured himself a cup of hot water and drank it, feeling warm all over.

I heated up the dumplings and dishes and ate them with big mouthfuls.

He had nothing and didn't know how to repay this favor.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. The villagers who came to pay New Year's greetings in the morning have already gone to visit each other. Rong Pei went to the educated youth's yard and found that they were all gone.

Rong Pei waited for a while, then simply helped them chop the firewood, and washed all the pots and pans in the kitchen that had not been cleaned last night.

After finishing all these, Gu Zhen and the others came in chatting and laughing.

"Huh? Why are you here? Are you still having a fever?" Gu Zhen was the first to greet him.

Rong Pei sincerely thanked him: "I'm fine now. I came here today to thank you and... to wish you a happy new year."

Only then did everyone notice the neatly stacked firewood and Rong Pei's dripping hands.

It was swollen like a purple eggplant and covered with frostbite.

"Why don't you boil some hot water? It's so cold." Zhang Yue said with a smile. They saved up until today to wash the dishes last night because they didn't want to.

Rong Pei smiled shyly, "It's okay, it's just something that comes naturally. You guys go ahead and do your thing. I'll go back first."

The educated youth were not familiar with him, so they didn't stay long after hearing what he said. They said "Happy New Year" and went into the house one after another. Gu Zhen saw that Rong Pei's eyes were always on her, so she thought for a moment and followed him out.

Rong Pei was very happy, but he hadn't communicated with others normally for a long time. Facing Gu Zhen at this moment, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Gu Zhen was much shorter than him. She tilted her head to look at the other person's face. He was very thin, weathered by the wind and rain, and looked a few years older than his actual age, with an indescribable sense of vicissitudes of life.

It is the unique mental outlook of those people who have suffered setbacks in this era.

"Don't take it to heart. We are all comrades and friends. It's only natural for us to help each other."

Rong Pei was very moved by Gu Zhen's comfort. Although he did not understand the punishment of the times on them, he had to admit that now they might be implicated even if they said one more word to him.

"I have nothing to give you in return. From now on, I will do all your work for you." This was all Rong Pei could do.

Gu Zhen smiled, and her slightly fragile face became more radiant. Rong Pei couldn't take his eyes off her for a moment.

I never thought Gu Zhiqing was so beautiful before.

Gu Zhen was happy to have a good relationship with the son of this high-ranking official. She stood on tiptoe and patted Rong Pei on the shoulder: "Just remember, keep a low profile, study hard, and when you leave here in the future, remember to support me!"

Rong Pei nodded seriously. He remembered to wait for the dawn.

For some reason, he had a genuine trust in Gu Zhen's words.

"That quilt...I'll wash it and give it back to you." Rong Pei felt a little embarrassed and began to worry about how to take apart the quilt.

He thought that this quilt was brought by Gu Zhen specially after she found out that he had a fever.

Gu Zhen waved her hand nonchalantly: "No, you can keep it. My family sent me a new one. As long as you don't mind that it's something I used before, it's fine."

These days, no one should be picky about it, and the quilt won’t be used for long.

The Gu family really loved the original owner.

Rong Pei's face turned a little red and he nodded sullenly. How could he dislike it? He just felt a little embarrassed.

After all, it was a quilt that had been used by a lesbian, and it smelled of cold cream.
