Chapter 006: Raw Desire ~ Hope
Mulan is tired from going to sea during the day, and it is the time for her long body to snooze. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Everyone else woke up, and she couldn't open her eyes in a daze. Hearing Zhang's exclamation, a spirit came to his senses.
Three steps and two steps ran to the kang, "Sister Yutong, how are you?" ”
Aunt Hao has old cold legs, and every time it rains on a cloudy day, it hurts like pins and needles. Chili Po originally lived in the countryside, and looked at other people's pankang, and after seeing a lot, she could also touch some doorways by herself.
At that time, there were only two people on the island, she and Aunt Hao, who were making billets and digging flues with thin hole walls, and they were busy for many months before they were coiled into a kang. The narrow one will be enough for a person to stretch his legs and lie down. It's not that I don't want to make it big, but the space is limited.
Aunt Hao has slept on this kang for more than ten years, and she can feel much better on her legs when she sticks to the hot kang. Wu Yutong came, so he gave her the place to sleep.
Wu Yutong was unwilling, but he couldn't resist his elders, so he could only accept it with shame.
For this matter, Yan Hong didn't say much. The others got up when they heard the movement, but she heard it as if she hadn't heard it, and lay there pretending to be dead.
Wu Yutong had also vomited blood before, but it was a little bit, but this time he vomited several times, and landed in a huge pool in front of the kang, bright red and dazzling. Don't say anything else, even she herself was scared. A face was pale and miserable, and he couldn't say a word in a trembling voice.
Zhang was at a loss, "How can this be good?" How can this be born? ”
Aunt Hao was much calmer than Zhang's, picked up the jug and poured a bowl of water, and handed it to Wu Yutong's mouth, "Come, rinse your mouth first." ”
Wu Yutong's teeth chattered, the edge of the bowl clanged, and it took a lot of effort to drink it, and spit it out in his mouth for a long time, tears fell down with a flutter, "Am I ...... Is this going to die? ”
"What did you say?" Zhang raised his hand in disgust, and wanted to slap her, but he was afraid that she would be weak and unbearable, so he put it down again. With red eyes, he turned his back and couldn't bear to look at her again.
"No, no." Aunt Hao comforted Wu Yutong in a loud voice, "Auntie has seen your disease before, and the doctor said that it is good to vomit it, and if you spit it out, the blood will be cleared, and the blood will be cleared when it is spit out, and it will become a blood clot in it." ”
Although Mulan doesn't understand medical science, she also knows that what Aunt Hao said is not the same situation as Wu Yutong. As the saying goes, if a person lives for a breath and his breath is dispersed, he is not far from death. Aunt Hao must have wanted Wu Yutong to have more hope, lest she pass without being able to hold on in one breath.
Wu Yutong may not understand this in her heart, but at this time, she would rather believe that what Aunt Hao said is true.
Pepper Po knew that she was so sick that she couldn't do anything about it. But if you don't do something, you are always uneasy, so you beckoned Zhang to open the hole, pick up a few dried herbs and boil out a bowl of medicinal soup.
I don't know if it was Aunt Hao's words that worked, or if this bowl of medicinal soup worked, Wu Yutong sweated after drinking the medicine, and felt a lot lighter on his body. was still scared in her heart, so she pulled Mulan to sleep with her.
The kang couldn't lie down, and the two sat together with their heads together. A piece of animal skin on his back, another piece on his body, listening to the whimper of the wind blowing through the mouth of the cave, no one felt sleepy for a while.
"Mulan, do you think I can see my mother after I die?" Wu Yutong asked, his voice soft, dyed with a different kind of sadness.
Yu Tong Niang died early, Yu Tong can't remember what she looks like, she only remembers that her mother's hands are very skillful. The family was poor, and she couldn't afford to buy velvet flowers to wear during the Chinese New Year, so her mother cut a piece of cloth from her jacket and sewed two flowers for her to wear on her head, which was even better than the one she bought.
Her mother is a good woman, and she will go to heaven after she dies. Like her, who has been in a dirty place and made a living in a dirty business, there is a chance that she will go to hell after death, right?
Mulan shook her hand vigorously, "You won't die." ”
Wu Yutong laughed silently, "Where are people who don't die?" It's just a little earlier and a little later. ”
How could she not know what her own body looked like? In the dead of night, she could feel the ghostly spirit approaching her step by step.
It is said that a person who has died once is no longer afraid of death, but why is she more afraid of death after she has died once? Knowing that she is a wasted person, she will only drag down these people who are good to her, but she still wants to live greedily.
The more you know that your time is numbered, the more you are afraid of that day. She wanted to live, even if it was for a few more moments.
"I'm not going to let you die." Mulan held her cold hand tightly, and said in a choked voice, "I will think of a cure for you." ”
Wu Yutong didn't speak again, only sighed inaudibly. The breathing gradually evened out, and without coughing, it was rare to have a solid sleep.
Mulan didn't close her eyes for half a night, and when she woke up in the morning, her eyes were gray and gray.
Zhang Shi looked distressed and pushed her back into the cave, "Hurry up and go in to make up for sleep, I'll call you when the meal is done." ”
"Aunt Zhang, I'm not sleepy." Mulan held on to the entrance of the cave and refused to go in, "It's a good day, I want to go to the sea early." ”
As soon as Zhang heard this, he turned into a tiger's face, "At this time, the sea is cold, so you are not allowed to go." ”
When a girl reaches this age, it's almost time to come to the dehydration, and it's time to be more careful. If you don't pay attention to the root of the illness and sit down with a cold, you will suffer a lifetime of sin.
Mulan didn't think about it at all, she was thinking about going to the deep water and fishing for some good things to come back to make up for Wu Yutong, so she held Zhang's arm and kept coquettishly, "Aunt Zhang, you just let me go." I went into the sea when I was young, and the sea is no different from our backyard, what can happen? Didn't you also say I could swim faster than a fish? Are you afraid that I will not be able to be taken away by a fish? ”
Zhang told her to be so hard that he couldn't do anything, and pointed a finger on her head, "Am I afraid of fish?" I'm scared of you. ”
Mulan listened to her loose tone, and smiled inch by inch: "Aunt Zhang is not afraid of me, but she loves me, then I will go......"
"Nope." Zhang grabbed her, "If you want to go, you have to wait until you have eaten, and the sun rises to warm up before you go." Also, don't go alone today, I'll go with you. ”
Mulan was a little dumbfounded, "Aunt Zhang is going too?" ”
"What, I can't go?" Zhang stared at her, his eyes as sharp as if he wanted to penetrate her flesh and skin to see through her mind.
"I can go, I can go." Mulan responded in her mouth, secretly complaining in her heart, with Zhang's staring, it would be difficult for her to go into the deep water.
The main breakfast is still vegetable soup, but there is more vegetable dumplings than dinner. The noodles are dried and ground from wild chestnuts, wrapped in chopped wild vegetables, plus a few hazelnuts and pine nuts, and then put aside a few pieces of steamed sea clam meat and bacon.
After eating, Mulan and Zhang packed up and prepared to go to the beach. Chili Po was going to go up the mountain, so she took the straw rope leggings and dispatched: "Ruizhi left to take care of Yutong, Yanhong, you follow me up the mountain." ”
Ruizhi is Aunt Hao's name, and Aunt Hao deserves to hear it.
Yan Hong was reluctant to do so, "This sun rises and you can tan off a layer of skin, I won't go." ”
