Chapter 14
Chapter 14
Sure enough, the sweet and sour cough syrup suits Su Yuqiu's appetite, and the color of the powder is probably also pleasing to the other party, so he drank it without saying anything.
Nan Qi stood on the side, holding a plastic bottle without a cap, and sighed in his heart - didn't the child regard himself as a rival in love?He wasn't afraid to poison him or something.Sure enough, I look like a doctor with a benevolent heart, very kind!
"Some more." Su Yuqiu finished drinking what was in the bottle cap, and handed it to Nan Qi eagerly. His attitude towards Nan Qi was simply unbelievable.
Nan Qi continued to feel emotionally, took the bottle cap in Su Yuqiu's hand, looked left and right, but he didn't see the kettle, although he saw that the potion left in it was very unpleasant, but he still ruthlessly covered it up.
"Do you think you can drink whatever you want during the medicine? I'll have some more."
Looking at the cough syrup that had been touched in his hand, he didn't know it had been opened, and the expiration date was a few days, Nan Qi didn't plan to take it anymore.He put the bottle on the table and said to Su Yuqiu: "If you still cough after two hours, drink some more. If you don't cough, forget it. Don't drink it secretly, you will die!"
When Su Yuqiu heard the words, her little hands trembled.
Nan Qi's eyelids also trembled, did he just want to steal it under his nose?
Let me ask Nan Qi himself who seemed to have drunk similar products when he was a child. The strong cherry smell made him feel like vomiting when he saw cough syrup. By the way, there are also antipyretics.Why does this kid like it so much?
Nan Qi shook his head and stood up, his stomach grunted for some reason, which was very clear in the small room crowded by five people.
Chu Shaoyan shifted his eyeballs from the bottle Nan Qi put on the table to someone else.
"All right, all right, don't disturb the patient's rest, they're all out now." Nan Qi blushed, pushed Chu Shaoyan with both hands, and forced him out of the room, just as he was about to close the door, but was pulled away by Chu Shaoyan come out.
"Let's go eat together."
Just leave, why are you holding other people's hands.
Nan Qi was thinking in his heart, thinking of what Chu Shaoyan said in the morning, his mood darkened.In his mind, he couldn't help but think of Chu Shaoyan's face flushed by himself last night, moaning helplessly, and by the way, he added N restricted-level actions to his pure memory.Only then did my heart feel dark, and I didn't even look at Chu Shaoyan's eyes anymore.
When going down the stairs, Nan Qi found that his hand was held inside by Chu Shaoyan. In a dark state, Nan Qi pulled his hand away, wrapped it around Chu Shaoyan's hand, and firmly embedded it between Chu Shaoyan's fingers. , not letting him loose.
Sensing Nan Qi's actions, Chu Shaoyan glanced back at him, then continued to walk obediently.
After a full meal.
"It's rare to come to the mountain city, the young master might as well go out with Nan Qi for a stroll. It's fine for Mr. Su to have me and Ling San take care of him." Feng Si sipped his tea and suggested with a smile.
During the meal just now, their young master's eyes never left Nan Qi. As the most caring subordinate, how could he not help his young master create some opportunities?
You know, Chu Shaoyan's appearance is not invincible, the little buddies still like a partner who is gentle, caring and will come to trouble.
Nan Qi's eyes lit up, and then turned into a somewhat embarrassed expression.It's really boring to stay in the room all afternoon, but his legs are so sore, he really wants to take a nap...
"Okay, let's go." Chu Shaoyan didn't respond on the surface, but he agreed with this suggestion in his heart.
Deep in Chu Shaoyan's heart, he recalled the last time Nan Qi came to the mountain city and left him starving for a day...
Chu Shaoyan's eyes swept over Nan Qi, wanting to sleep?I won't let you sleep!
At noon, Chu Shaoyan pulled him out to go shopping, and Nan Qi was drowsy from the warm sun, and he was a little wobbly when he walked, and he couldn't figure out the direction.
As they walked, the distance between Nan Qi and Chu Shaoyan was getting closer and closer, and Chu Shaoyan finally couldn't help but hold Nan Qi's shoulder.
"Ok?"
Once Nan Qi regained consciousness, he happened to see Chu Shaoyan's face.He couldn't help but look at the top of Chu Shaoyan's head, and then at the shadows of the two people under the sun - when did Chu Shaoyan grow to be as tall as himself?
Seeing Chu Shaoyan's lines began to become clear, with a mature face, Nan Qi felt extremely sad-why he still has a baby face!Obviously he is not short anymore, but he is still misunderstood as a minor!
"Have you seen enough?" Chu Shaoyan spoke suddenly.
"Ah?" Nan Qi was in a state of dementia.
"Let's go when you've seen enough, we're at the place." Chu Shaoyan was amused by Nan Qi's dumbfounded appearance, and took his own initiative to take his hand, and walked to the shop on Nan Qi's right.
"...bookstore?" Nan Qi couldn't understand the words on the signboard. It was only when he walked into the shop that he realized that it was a bookstore.
The display in the store is quite good. The owner made a vertical grid bookshelf, and the few books are spread out one by one in the grid, which is clear at a glance.Nan Qi was very excited. He was half an intellectual in modern times, but he became illiterate here.He had to learn to read quickly.
But... the books here, he can't understand...
Nan Qi struggled, took down the thinnest book on the shelf, opened it for a look, and immediately put it back.There are no illustrations, no annotations, just rows of characters in vertical lines, and the small script is beautifully copied, but it's a pity that Nan Qi doesn't even have the chance to guess.
However, the characters here are also square characters, and the writing method is actually quite similar to Chinese characters, but it is a little different from traditional Chinese characters.Nan Qi was depressed, the language was fluent, but the writing was different.
"That's an article written by the number one scholar in the Huangguo scientific examination in the past ten years. You can't read it yet." Chu Shaoyan stood behind Nan Qi at some point, holding a thick book in his hand, "This book is more suitable for you."
How is it possible... Nan Qi didn't take it seriously, but still took it to save face and flipped it twice...
Illustrations...Chinese Pinyin...a literacy textbook, it's really suitable...
...Hanyu Pinyin?
Nan Qi shook his head, maybe his mind was confused and he was hallucinating, how could there be Chinese pinyin in this place?Even with phonetic symbols, katakana is more likely than this.
Those Chinese pinyin letters and square characters are not in the same language system, okay?
Nan Qi held the book in one hand, rubbed his eyes with the other hand, and looked again... Yes, it is indeed Hanyu Pinyin.Nan Qi tried to spell a few words: "A long time ago, there was a loving couple... Husband and wife? It's printed wrong..."
It's really Chinese Pinyin!Nan Qi's eyes lit up, as if he had found a treasure, he hugged the book tightly.
What does the advertisement say: With this book, I am no longer afraid of reading and reading!
Chu Shaoyan kept looking at Nan Qi, saw that he had read a sentence intact, and asked suspiciously: "Do you recognize these pinyin?"
Nan Qi quickly came to his senses amidst his complacency: "Yes, I have learned it before." It's really hard to lie about this kind of thing, even if he is very talented, it is impossible for him to use it the first time he sees it.So it's better to be honest.But there is one thing that Nan Qi is very concerned about...
"Well, who invented Pinyin?"
"When did you learn it?" Chu Shaoyan looked at Nan Qi suspiciously and asked back.The publication of Pinyin textbooks is just these two years.Although it is said that their lord invented such a thing more than ten years ago, it has been used as a code word and has not been made public.
"Hmm..." Nan Qi said a relatively conservative figure, "Ten years ago."
"That's it." Chu Shaoyan lowered his eyes, "Since this is the case, it will be much easier for you to read."
Being cared by Chu Shaoyan like this, Nan Qi felt a little blushed, but he was encouraged by the gentle tone of the other party, and Chu Shaoyan's eyes were full of happiness.
It's a pity that one of these two people was fascinated by the authorities, and the other missed it.But their appearance fell into the eyes of the bookstore owner...
"The young man is in a good relationship," the boss smiled while twirling his goatee. "I'm going to ask the boss of the cloth shop today. I'll give you a half discount for your joy. Fifteen cents."
"So cheap?" Nan Qi jumped. He thought that ancient books were very expensive, but this one is so thick.
"The lord of the country encourages everyone to be literate. This book is sold by the capital supervisor, and it is not expensive." There is not much business in his shop, and it is rare to see a stupid scholar who is not, but is full of words.Besides, this pair of bi people are both white and clean, so the boss is happy to say a few more words.
"You don't need to look for it." Chu Shaoyan handed the boss a silver coin weighing one or two pounds.
"How can this work?" the boss shook his head, feeling like a little monk chanting sutras, "Young people can't just spend their money indiscriminately. All the money should be used where it should be used. Besides, the money I can’t find it either, you’d better give me fifteen copper coins.”
"No need." Chu Shaoyan insisted, "If there are people who want to read but can't afford books, you can just think of me as paying for them in advance."
"Oh?" The boss stopped holding his bearded hand, and looked at Chu Shaoyan's sincere eyes, as if he stood up and bowed to Chu Shaoyan just to pretend to be rich in front of his lover, "That's good, I'm Just help them, thank you in advance."
"Sir, you don't need to be too polite, this is what I should do." Chu Shaoyan returned the salute solemnly, which made Nan Qi look at him with admiration.
Afterwards, Chu Shaoyan led Nan Qi to the residential area in the south of the city, and discussed with whomever he did.Nan Qi didn't bother to go over, found a seat, sat alone in the front hall, and read his book.
Although I know the Chinese pinyin, it still takes time to spell it out one by one.To spell it out, you need to make the pronunciation into sentences one by one, and create a story in succession.
Fortunately, the above stories are almost vernacular, otherwise he really might not be able to understand them.
Nan Qi rubbed his eyes tiredly and closed the book.Now he is sure that this book, at least the Chinese pinyin, was "invented" by the traveler, and even many of the stories on it were adapted from fairy tales and fables he had read before.
But it cannot be denied that this method can indeed help many people who have no money or time to learn to read, which is a great move.
When Nan Qi first passed through, when he had nothing to do, he still thought about calling the wind and rain, opening his golden fingers like in the novels he had read, but now he felt a little ashamed—why didn’t he think about doing it? How about benefiting the common people who lived before industrial civilization? It's really not high enough ideological consciousness.
"Ready? Let's go."
Nan Qi didn't realize that Chu Shaoyan was already sitting opposite him.Seeing him raise his head, the other party gave him a smile.
It seemed that as long as they were alone, Chu Shaoyan would confuse him with her beauty from time to time... Nan Qi's dizzy mind suddenly became muddled.
This state persisted until they returned to the inn...
"Brother Shaoyan!"
Who is that little pink that swoops over?Nan Qi didn't turn his head around, but his body reflexively took several steps back.
Chu Shaoyan's reaction was much calmer, but when Su Yuqiu was about to pounce on him, he gave way a little calmly.
Su Yuqiu didn't look like a sick dead dog when Nan Qi saw it at noon, but his cheeks were pink, which matched his new pink clothes very well—it's a pity that Nan Qi After knowing his real gender, seeing him dressed up like this only feels extremely shocking...
"Brother Nan Qi." Seeing Nan Qi beside Chu Shaoyan, Su Yuqiu called out to him with reluctance and anticipation. ...Is he really not hallucinating?Or did Little Pink activate some weird mode, planning to slowly kill him, the person caught between him and his brother Shaoyan?
