At Tian Qiuqiu's suggestion, I stayed in my cousin's room and spent nightmarish, helpless nights with her.

Tian Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment, and then walked out again.

I put my cousin to sleep before I took off my shoes and lay down on the outside of the bed.

The bed wasn't big, and it just had room for two people.

Therefore, I did not deliberately avoid physical contact with my cousin.

It's better to be next to her and make her feel my presence.

Of course, my hands and feet are very disciplined. I stretched out my feet and put my hands on my belly, a position I hadn't seen in a long time in the barracks.

If that kind of chase bunk doesn't count, the last time I slept in the same bed with my cousin, I remember it was more than ten years ago.

At that time, I was still in elementary school.

When I was a child, I lived in the countryside, and my grandfather's house and my grandfather's house were in the neighboring village, very close. So my cousin and I have been playing together since we were kids.

To be clear, my cousin is not my grandfather's granddaughter, to be precise, a niece, she is the granddaughter of my grandfather's brother. My grandfather only has one daughter, my mother, and she has married into our old Yu family, so I don't have a very close cousin.

I was separated by Lu Lin from my grandparents, and she was not my cousin, but according to the rules of the clan, I still had to call her cousin. When I was born, and at the time of the population restriction, my cousin and I had very few playmates in our childhood, because we were adjacent to the village, so we naturally played together.

When I was in elementary school, in the evenings, either I ran to my cousin's house to do my homework, or my cousin ran to my house to do my homework. I usually don't go back when it's late, so the parents of the two families arranged for us to sleep together.

The days I 'slept in bed' with my cousin were too many to count.

However, in that childhood, we were all still very simple, so simple that we didn't know the difference between men and women. Later, when we grew up and understood the difference between men and women, we never slept together again.

Of course, apart from not sleeping together, our relationship is still close. I went to elementary school and junior high school together, and it wasn't until I finished high school that one of us joined the army and the other drifted to the ocean, and the two were separated.

My cousin is two years older than me, but to be specific, less than a year and a half older. Before she entered elementary school, she went to preschool for an extra year, but I didn't, so she was caught up by me, and we were all in the same grade.

……

After sleeping for about two hours, my cousin woke up again from a nightmare. In the dream, he shouted, "Don't! Don't shoot!"

I don't know what she dreamed about. Could it be that he dreamed that Qi Guangfei shot me?

My cousin opened her eyes, curled up in a ball, her body shaking.

I was very distressed, so I took her into my arms sideways and coaxed, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

After some coaxing, my cousin regained her composure, moved herself, and left my embrace.

Turned on his side and fell asleep again.

……

Early the next morning, while my cousin was not awake, Tian Qiuqiu came in to take a look.

She has experience, and when she saw my cousin's face, she noticed that something was wrong, and then touched her forehead again, and said, "My cousin is sick!"

I also reached out, tried it, and pulled it back and said, "It's so hot! It's a high fever!"

Tian Qiuqiu said: "It's okay, get well early, her current state, the longer she stays, the more unfavorable it will be for her, take advantage of the early illness, but it will be better for her." ”

I nodded.

This onset is also normal, a day and two nights of mental torture, plus water and rice do not enter, how can her body withstand it.

Today she has to eat, and she has to drink medicinal soup!

I went to the kitchen and asked Tian Qiuqiu to help make a pot of cold medicine soup.

I peeled the grains that had been dried at night, peeled out a bowl of rice, and used them to boil porridge, and put some minced meat and shiitake mushrooms in the porridge to make a pot of meat porridge.

Bring the porridge and medicinal soup to the room.

My cousin woke up and was lying in bed, sleepy-eyed.

I gave her the cold porridge to her mouth, and she didn't want to open her mouth.

If you don't eat it, I won't agree. I had a plan and said with a smile: "You don't want to eat, if you don't eat, I'll have to feed it mouth-to-mouth." I'll take a bite first, and then I'll put it in your mouth mouth-to-mouth!"

When my cousin heard this, she rolled her eyes at me, and then, with my support, sat up, and served the bowl to eat.

ate most of the bowl of meat porridge, drank the medicine again, and then sat aside in a daze.

In fact, it's not in a daze, I just don't want to talk, plus I have a high fever, and my mind is very trance.

This is normal and there is no need to worry too much.

In broad daylight, I can't stay in the house all the time, I have to go out for a walk.

Su Wu and Tian Qiuqiu were left at home to accompany my cousin, and the other two girls were taken to the beach by me.

At the beach, we picked up a large basket of conch seashells, and I also caught some nudibranchs, sea crabs, and lobsters as food for our two days.

These days, it is impossible to go far away, and while I am at home, I have to get my big bamboo raft on it. After I finish it, I can go and harvest the rice in the mountains, otherwise I am afraid that after the time, all the grain will fall to the ground.

Bamboo taming requires some pine oil, and when I was building a house and going up the hill to cut wood a few days ago, I noticed that there were several pine trees, which could be used to pick pine resin.

In the morning, I picked up seafood, and in the afternoon, I packed up a bamboo basket, loaded tools, and brought a few bamboo tubes, and then took the two girls up the mountain.

I found a pine tree, peeled the outer skin with a sapper shovel, and then opened a vertical diversion channel in the middle of the tree, and on both sides of the tree, several openings were opened obliquely, so that the pine oil in the pine body seeped out, and then went down the diversion canal.

At the bottom, a bamboo tube is placed to catch the dripping pine oil.

Collecting this oozing oil is a slow job, and it takes three or two hours to guide the pine oil. You can't wait in the same place, and you can install a bamboo tube underneath, although it will be collected slowly.

We made one and then made another, in the same way.

When I was a child living in the countryside, the uncle in the village did just that, so I naturally learned it.

A total of five pine trees were mined.

When I walked back, the first and second pine trees had already dripped pine oil from a small half of a bamboo tube, and the opening was almost dry, and the oil could not seep out.

At this time, the body of the tree needs to be restored, and it cannot be opened immediately, and there will be no more oil seeping after opening, and it can only be reopened the next day.

I poured these two small half-barrels of pine resin, which was better than the size of the tree and the amount of oil, which added up to more than a catty.

On the way home, I picked up another bundle of half-dried wood.

When the wood is dipped in grease and lit on fire, it becomes a torch that can burn for a long time, and with such a torch, it is placed under the bamboo, and it is moved back and forth to smoke and roast, and domesticated.
