Chapter 19: Drinking Medicine
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Okay, I see." ”
Shu Xian turned her head and looked at Shu Shu, and said with some worry: "Little sister, I think you should go eat something, enter the house with Yan Li, you are injured and weak, and the wind is a little strong today." ”
Yan Li looked at Shu Shu's slightly pale face, he got up and pulled her up and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the house." ”
Shu Shu was dragged back to the room by him. Looking at his expressionless appearance, she said with some distress: "Brother Yanli, are you okay?"
Yan Li squeezed out a smile from his face and said, "Sister Zhu, don't worry, Brother Yan Li will be fine." Maybe I'll need some more getting used to. It's all right after a long time. ”
The room carved out of this stone cave was full of medicinal smells, and the wall facing the door was full of medicinal herbs. The shelves next to it are filled with large and small clay pots. The two of them continued to walk on, through the stone chamber and further in, there were naturally formed caves one after another, and the inside of the glazed room was simply arranged, and some wooden planks were placed on the slightly higher ground, and the planks were covered with some soft hay.
Shu Zhu's eyes darkened as she looked at this simple room, she had been to her previous home. The delicate wooden furniture was carved with different patterns, the pale blue tent was embroidered with some simple patterns, and the satin quilt was soft and warm. Looking at everything in the room now, she looked at the distress in her eyes.
"Brother Yanli, I'm sorry to let you live in such a humble place......"
He was really not used to living here, and he would wake up several times a night, and sometimes he wondered why he didn't go with his parents, leaving him alone in this world to endure all this loneliness.
"I'm fine, it's good. Grandpa took good care of me. After all, this is not a home, but a refuge...... Alright, Shushu, it's time for you to go and rest. I think grandpa and your sisters should worry about you......"
Shu Shu stood in the room without saying a word. The smile on Yan Li's face looked a little unnatural and said: "Okay, now you know where I live, go and drink medicine now, as long as you drink medicine, you can recover......"
Shu Shu dragged his somewhat tired body to the room he had just passed, in which Shu Wei was talking to Shu Xian, and after seeing them come in, Shu Wei's expression looked a little stern and said: "Originally, I wanted to call you to drink medicine, but this time you are conscious, hurry up and come over and are going to drink it!"
She looked at the black and white smoke of the decoction in the bowl, which gave off a very unpleasant taste. Her whole heart was going to clench. She didn't dare to get hurt when she was a child, because she was afraid of her grandfather's decoction. But if you don't drink it now, Sister Shu Wei will definitely be very angry.
Her brows furrowed tightly, she picked up the gray medicine bowl and pinched her nose and just took a sip, she felt that her whole tongue was going to be bitter, as bad as it could be. The medicine was in her mouth, and she didn't dare to spit it out when she looked at Shu Wei's expression. I swallowed it with my eyes closed.
Shu Wei said a little anxiously: "Shu Shu, you hurry up and drink the medicine, don't feel uncomfortable, you have to drink this medicine every day in the future, you have to drink a bowl every day for half a year! ”
Originally, she thought that she would be fine after drinking it, but she never thought that such a bad medicine would have to be drunk for half a year. Her whole face turned white. It's like punishing her once a day.
She looked at Shu Wei with trembling hands and said with some grievances: "Sister, what is this medicine for? Why did I take so long? My injuries are really all healed, I have strength to eat some food, can I not have such a bad smelling thing?"
Shu Wei took a deep breath and said very angrily: "If you want to drink it, you can drink it! Could it be that grandpa will poison you? Or will your eldest sister poison you? Why are there so many questions?"
"If you don't die, you will die of disgust...... If I had to drink a bowl of such a bitter medicine every day, my life would be like living in hell......"
She muttered in her mouth, watching Shu Wei's expression become more and more serious, and then slowly closed her mouth. Shu Xian pulled Shu Wei and said, "Eldest sister, it's okay to drink all of Shu Shu, don't be angry......
Shu Wei's expression was serious, her whole face was elongated, and she looked at Shu Shu with a firm look and said: "I tell you, you have to drink this medicine every day, and every day I will supervise you to drink all the drops left! If you don't want to drink it, I don't want to boil it for you! If it weren't for my grandfather's orders, I would serve you!"
Seeing that Shu Wei's head was about to burst into flames, Shu Xian immediately pulled Shu Shu and said, "Eldest sister, I still have to take Shu Shu and Yan Li to eat, let's go first......"
After speaking, Shu Xian immediately pulled Shu Shu out of the room of the medicine pharmacy. Shu Xian looked at her and said helplessly: "Zhu'er, you also know the temper of the eldest sister, she has to be busy for a long time every day in order to boil medicine for you." This is what your grandfather ordered you to drink every day, and we can't help it, the eldest sister definitely didn't deliberately embarrass you, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten up before dawn......"
Hearing Shu Xian say this, Shu Shu suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart. In the past, I used to cook and wash clothes with my mother, and the eldest sister rarely interfered in a lot of housework, but now my father and mother went to Chaoyang Valley, and now the eldest sister must be worried that she will be so anxious.
"Third sister, I know, I'm sorry I really shouldn't have complained just now, no matter how bitter the medicine that the eldest sister boiled for me in the future, I will drink it all in one gulp......"
After saying this, Shu Shu suddenly burped, and a smell of medicine came out, and Shu Shu almost spit out the medicine he drank again. Yan Li next to him asked a little worriedly, "Sister Zhu, are you okay?"
She turned her head a little embarrassed to look at Yan Li and smiled twice and said, "It's okay, but this medicine is really bitter, I really haven't drunk such a bitter medicine......"
Yan Li bowed her head and said: "Good medicine is good for disease, and the eldest sister is also good for you." Let's go eat something first, so it might be a little sweeter in your mouth......"
Shu Xian immediately said: "Sister, there is something I still have to tell you, grandpa said that your meals should be made separately from others, and I will teach you how to cook by yourself in the future...... And you can only eat this kind of food, and nothing else. ”
Shu Shu thought he had misheard, frowned tightly and said, "What? You said I can only eat one kind of food? What is that?"
As they spoke, the three of them came to a stone room for cooking, which was long and uneven. A few wooden tables were placed in the center, and a few people were sitting there eating, and there were a few small animals drinking water in the place where they had just entered.
Shu Xian pointed to a plate on an empty table with black, round, black eggs. She pointed to Shu Shu and said, "Sister, this is your meal." In the future, you can only eat this, and you will also have to eat it for half a year. If you can't help but eat something else, you have to recount it and eat it for another half a year...... So you'd better hold back so that after half a year you can eat something else. ”
