Chapter 338 Recognizing Wei Xiuchu
Wu Xuanji widened his eyes, put the wine jug on the table and quickly slipped away.
Before slipping away, he made a gesture to Wei Xiuchu.
That is the exclusive gesture of their secret guards, which means, My Lord, I will come to find you later...
Wei Xiuchu withdrew his gaze.
It wasn't that he doubted Wu Xuanji.
It just hurts.
Without Wu Xuanji, there are still Li Xuanji, Chen Xuanji.......
He looked at the gentle figure not far away, with unidentifiable emotions in his eyes.
An Xuetao saw all the changes in Wei Xiuchu's eyes.
If I had some doubts before, I am now 70% sure.
There is only one person in the world who would look at me like that.
More than ten years.
I thought I no longer cared, I thought I had forgotten those things long ago.
But the past was like a river that had been opened, drowning her completely.
The spring breeze is swaying, the young man uses the sword to pay off the wine, and the once secretly promises his life under the blossoming tree...
At the very end, the scene was frozen in the night under the mountains and rivers. The man had clear eyebrows and raised his hand to pin a jade hairpin in her hair, and said gently: "Wait for me to come back and pick you up."
An Xuetao lowered her head and washed the vegetables expressionlessly.
His eyes were drooped, no emotion could be seen, dark as a deep pool.
But the cabbage in her hand had been washed five or six times, and its leaves were all rotten, but An Xuetao still didn't notice.
The water is icy cold in winter, and my hands turned red from washing them, almost breaking their skin.
"mother?"
Xie Ling called out loudly.
"Ah? What's wrong, A-Ling?"
An Xuetao suddenly came back to her senses.
Xie Ling squatted down and put her hands into the basin to wash with her, "What are you thinking about? The vegetables have been washed. Hiss - so cold!"
Xie Ling looked at An Xuetao's red hands from the cold and frowned.
"Mom, your hands are frostbitten. I'll take you to apply some medicine, otherwise it will develop into frostbite."
An Xuetao nodded blankly.
"well."
The two entered the inner room, and Xie Ling took out the frostbite medicine and carefully rubbed it on An Xuetao's hands.
Seeing An Xuetao's pale face and absent-minded appearance, Xie Ling couldn't help but ask, "Mom, why are you acting weird today? Are you worried about something?"
An Xuetao withdrew her gaze.
From this room, you can just see the figure outside through the carved wooden window.
Even sitting in a wheelchair, she could not conceal her graceful and elegant figure, as if she were a solitary pine tree.
She closed her eyes and opened them again.
So how did such a bright and cheerful person become like this?
Did he think he hid it well?
Deliberately speaking in a cold voice and deliberately avoiding contact.
But the way he looked at herself was still the same as it was sixteen years ago, so affectionate and gentle, as if all the spring water had flowed back, watering her with endless love.
An Xuetao controlled her confused emotions and looked at Xie Ling. "It's nothing, Aling, I'm just a little curious. Your friend's uncle...what's his name? Who is he? And how did he become like that?"
When he said the last sentence, his tone was as light as a feather.
It seemed that speaking louder would hurt Wei Xiuchu's self-esteem.
Xie Ling frowned.
Why would my mother be interested in this uncle?
But he still said slowly: "The uncle's name is Wei Xiuchu, Wei Zhaoren. As for his legs and face, they have been injured for more than ten years. It is a royal secret that I can't tell you."
An Xuetao suddenly raised her voice.
"How many years?"
Xie Ling calculated, "About sixteen years?"
An Xuetao could hardly breathe and her hands were shaking uncontrollably.
Xie Ling's eyes widened, "Mom? What's wrong with you?"
An Xuetao shook her head, "Go out, Mom is fine, go out quickly!"
Xie Ling's eyes were full of worry, "Okay, okay, Mom, you stay alone for a while."
Xie Ling quietly closed the door.
Wei Xiuchu had been staring at this side. When he saw Xie Ling coming out alone, he quickly covered his chest and coughed heart-wrenchingly.
Xie Ling raised her eyes and ran over quickly, "Uncle, what's wrong?"
Wei Xiuchu stopped coughing and said, "Nothing, my throat just feels a little uncomfortable. By the way."
He casually asked, "What happened to your mother? Why did she go in? Is everything alright?"
Wei Xiuchu asked three questions in a row, confusing Xie Ling. "No, my mother is just a little bit uncomfortable. She is not in good health, and I have been slowly taking care of her."
"not good?"
Wei Xiuchu's heart was in his throat, and he didn't even notice that his tone had changed. "Why is it bad? What's going on?"
Xie Ling frowned slightly.
How did she find out that her mother and uncle were so strange?
Both of them are behaving strangely?
"My mother is in a state of mental blockage. She just needs to take good care of herself. It's not a serious illness."
Wei Xiuchu felt sad.
My mind is blocked, it must be because of myself.
He nodded in a daze.
"A Ling, come and help me!"
Pei was shouting over there.
Xie Ling had no choice but to put all her thoughts back.
"Uncle, I'll go over first."
Wei Xiuchu nodded, "Okay, go ahead."
An Xuetao was originally sitting on the bed.
But for some reason, she still stood up and quietly looked at Wei Xiuchu through a stained glass window.
Chu repairs, Wei repairs Chu.
Not only did he deceive himself about his identity.
Even the name.
.......
Soon, the meal was ready.
Except for Wei Xiuchu and An Xuetao, everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
Wei Linglong had been lying in bed for several months, and was fed rice porridge and water by palace servants every day. Suddenly, she ate such delicious food, which she devoured in no time at all. She ate four or five bowls of rice in a row.
Gu Wei kept serving food to Xie Ling.
Pei looked at the two little ones, her eyes full of satisfaction.
Turning around, seeing An Xuetao unable to eat, Pei's eyes widened, "Xiaotao, what's wrong? Why don't you eat?"
Wei Xiuchu paused while picking up the food.
An Xuetao raised her eyes and chuckled, "How could that be? Your cooking skills have improved again, especially this Jiangnan Hundred Flowers Chicken, which is very tasty, colorful, fragrant and delicious."
Pei smiled and said, "There is also this pot-sticked fish, would you like to try it?"
An Xuetao's eyes lit up: "Delicious!"
During the meal, the two of them had their own thoughts.
It was already late when we finished eating.
Xie Ling asked Wei Xiuchu, "Uncle, shall I take you back to rest first? I may have something else to do."
Wei Linglong rubbed her eyes and said, "Okay, I'm a little sleepy."
Wei Xiuchu said in a deep voice: "Linglong, go with you. I prefer quietness. Didn't you say before that you have a house next to me? I'll live there."
Neither Xie Ling nor Wei Linglong thought of what he was thinking. Wei Xiuchu had a cold personality and it was normal for him not to like crowded environments.
Xie Ling nodded, "Okay, I'll let my mother help you clean up."
Wei Xiuchu was about to say no, but An Xuetao came over and agreed, "Okay."
He had no choice but to keep this sentence in his stomach.
While An Xuetao went to clean the courtyard, Xie Ling gave Wei Xiuchu the first round of treatment.
After pricking Wei Xiuchu with silver needles to turn him into a hedgehog, they removed a small piece of skin from the back of his waist.
The plan is to culture this tissue in a space laboratory, and once his legs are healed, facial skin grafting can be performed.
The acupuncture process is very painful because the nerves must be kept awake and no anesthesia can be given.
Wei Xiuchu said nothing, only asked: "A Ling, I want to know, how long will it take for my face and legs to heal?"
"Three years."
Xie Ling frowned, "I'd conservatively estimate three years, because you've been injured for too long."
Wei Xiuchu saw Xie Ling frowning, and quickly comforted her in a gentle voice, "It's okay, Ling, you don't have to feel stressed. I'm already very happy that you can cure me."
"It's cleaned up."
An Xuetao came over with a bucket and a broom, and just in time saw Wei Xiuchu's legs pierced by long silver needles.
Her heart sank.
It's painful to watch, and it's hard to imagine what he has been through over the years.
Wei Xiuchu's eyes widened slightly, his heart felt like it was falling into an icy cave, and he quickly turned his body away.
But it can't cover up anything at all, and the more you try to hide it, the more obvious it becomes.
An Xuetao noticed the man's little action and quickly pretended not to see it and walked away.
"Let's go. It's dark at night and you can see everything. Don't blame me if you can't clean it up properly."
Xie Ling pushed Wei Xiuchu into the yard and left.
"Uncle, my mother is next door. If you need anything, you can call her. My uncles are here and can help you."
Wei Xiuchu nodded, "You can go ahead. Don't worry about me. I think my daily life will be fine."
After sitting in a wheelchair for so many years, Wei Xiuchu has already figured out his own way of living.
He didn't want anyone to see him so vulnerable.
Especially, An Xuetao.
I clearly wanted to stay away from her, but I couldn't control myself and wanted to get closer to her.
Wei Xiuchu sighed and stared at the moon above his head in a daze.
Suddenly, a man pushed open the door, poked his head out, and called out cautiously, "Your Majesty?"
An Xuetao, who was secretly spying on Wei Xiuchu, paused.
Isn't this the voice of Shopkeeper Wu?
Does he know Wei Xiuchu?
