Chapter 276: Illness Comes Like a Mountain
It's getting late, and it's time to go to bed. Music-Text
Mo Xiaohe took a hot shower comfortably, changed into a clean and soft muslin dress, and stepped on the floor barefoot.
At the beginning, I was in a hurry to build the house, and the ground was not flat enough, so there were a few uneven places, and when I stepped on it, it made a creaking sound.
Gu Zheng made the mattress, took the dry cloth towel, and helped his wife dry her hair, if she slept so wet, it would be easier for the cold to enter the body on a rainy day.
Everything is ready, Mo Xiaohe walked back and forth in the house a few laps to eat, she really didn't know that the carefree person was her eldest brother Mo Huaiyuan's "nickname", carefully recalled, but remembered a detail, when the eldest brother came home, he bought her rouge gouache.
Women love to be pretty, not to mention a teenage girl's house, and a random box of incense powder on the dresser costs more than a dozen taels of silver. But she herself doesn't like to apply grease and powder, although she lives in the village, but she is pampered by her father, and she doesn't have to go to the field to do farm work when she is busy.
The predecessor has been clamoring for this and that, the pocket money given by his father and mother, the New Year's money is kept to buy needles and threads, books, plain dresses, and things that fill the faΓ§ade, and the burden is on Mo Huaiyuan.
What's ridiculous is that the predecessor thought that the eldest brother had silver because of his father's partiality, but now that he thinks about it, almost all the money earned by Mo Huaiyuan is used on the loser girl, and Mo Xiaohe's use is not worse than that of the young lady with a family.
The only thing that I am not satisfied with is that I am not satisfied with the food, living in the village, the neighbors are too close, and the smell of meat comes from anyone's house, and the whole village can know it on the second day. "Husband, I was young and ignorant back then, and I didn't know the good intentions of my eldest brother."
Mo Xiaohe hugged Gu Zheng's arm, his heart was sour, and a young man who was as clear as the sun and the moon appeared in his mind, scratching his ears and cheeks because he was in a hurry, he wanted to make money, just to buy a decent box of fat powder for his sister and please her.
The eldest brother is very fond of reading, and the books in his study are bought thriftily and placed on the shelves, each of which is carefully annotated, and the edges of the books are carefully wrapped with strips of cloth to prevent wear and tear.
"I miss my big brother, and I don't know when I'll see you again."
sighed, Mo Xiaohe's voice was full of loneliness, she seemed to have done too little for her family, she had been asking for it all the time, and after a long time, she was spoiled and hot-headed, and she felt that everything was taken for granted.
occupies the body of other people's daughters, if you don't do your filial piety well, God can't look past it.
"Soon, soon."
Gu Zheng rubbed Mo Xiaohe's hair, the top of his hair was already dry, the tips of his hair were a little wet, he lowered his eyes, and his voice was dumb, "The war between the two countries started because of the gold mine, after all, the gold mine still needs to be mined, so it will not be delayed for too long." β
"So, when the little bun in his stomach comes out, we can take him to see my uncle?"
Mo Xiaohe was in a better mood, her voice couldn't help but be cheerful, thinking of Zhang Xianxian's temperament, she touched her flat belly, and said, "Little bun, your uncle should also marry his aunt, maybe his cousin and cousin will come out together." β
In the pot-bellied porcelain vase on the small table, there were a few wild flowers, and the fragrance was exuding at night, Mo Xiaohe's mood slowly calmed down and let out a shallow breath.
In the middle of the night, the sound of falling rain became quieter and quieter, and a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, like an axe, splitting a huge crack in the sky, and at that moment, the inner room shone like day.
Immediately after, there was a deafening thunder, which rumbled and rang out, and the whole room trembled slightly with the thunder.
Mo Xiaohe was awakened by the thunder, she was hugged in a warm embrace, she was just about to speak, and found that the people around her were a little abnormally hot.
Gu Zheng's body is hot all the year round, but it can't reach the level of hot hands, Mo Xiaohe immediately broke out in a cold sweat, groped for the position of his forehead with his hand, and almost screamed, it's so hot!
On weekdays, when the husband sees her wake up, he must say a few words, but now, the inner room is quiet, only the thunder constantly brushes the sense of existence.
"Husband, husband!"
In a hurry, Mo Xiaohe got up with a grunt, groped for the oil lamp in the dark, and lit it for a long time. Through the dim light, she saw that Gu Zheng's face was abnormally flushed, and her hands were hot.
She blamed herself in her heart, she was used to relying on him, but she never thought that her husband was also flesh and blood, no matter how good her body was, she would get sick.
Getting out of bed with his shoes on, Mo Xiaohe forced himself to calm down, the top priority is to cool down first, there are herbs to treat wind cold and wind heat at home, as well as pills given by Yingluo, not to mention immediate results, and there will be no worries about life.
Opening the door, a clammy and cold cool air hit her face, Mo Xiaohe turned around, added a coat, and put on a small boot that drained water, the premise of her taking care of her husband is to ensure that she is in good health, and she can't fall ill because of a momentary emergency, there are only two husbands and wives in the mountains, and they can't all be sick.
Creeping to the stove, Mo Xiaohe searched in his mind for the cooling methods commonly used in modern times, and had a plan in his heart.
The fire in the stove had not been extinguished, she repurchased firewood, saw that the water in the pot was still warm, made a large basin, put a wet cloth towel on Gu Zheng's forehead, untied his clothes, and began to gently wipe his body.
Gu Zheng seemed to be in a coma, unconscious at all, her lips were chapped, and there was a bloody wound on it, which made her feel distressed, and she secretly hated herself for being careless, and she didn't see the precursor of her husband's illness.
After she rinsed her mouth, she took a sip of the herbal tea on the table, put it against his lips, and slowly sent it in.
Gu Zheng only felt that he was walking in the desert, surrounded by the sun and yellow sand, and the torch was scorched, he was walking with difficulty, just to find a water source, suddenly there was a touch of coolness on his lips, and he unconsciously swallowed.
It's good to have a reaction! Drinking plenty of water can detoxify and cool down. Mo Xiaohe imitated the previous actions again, until a pot of tea bottomed out, she probed his forehead, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, the temperature seemed to drop a little.
There are also high-purity spirits at home, Mo Xiaohe can't smell the wine, cover her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, stain the liquor with a cloth towel, and wipe Gu Zheng's body carefully.
At the critical moment, the potential of people is unlimited, turning over to the husband, changing the clothes and sheets soaked with sweat, all relying on Mo Xiaohe's small body to complete it alone, it is almost dawn, Gu Zheng's body heat is significantly reduced, although he has not reached the ideal state, he will not have to worry about his life.
"A rain, and it goes on and on."
The sky is blue-gray, standing under the eaves and looking out, the big tree at the door, the crown of the tree is scorched black, there are traces of burning, Mo Xiaohe thought of the thunder last night, and twitched the corners of his mouth, no wonder the ancients paid the most attention to the oath, and the poisonous oath at every turn was that the sky thundered and split the clouds, they must not know that when the thunder hits, they must not stand under the tree.
Hurriedly came to the stove, Mo Xiaohe was in trouble, there were a few vegetables at home, Gu Zheng originally planned to make capers and carob buns for her, but now that he is sick, he always has to eat something light, what should he do?
There is good japonica rice in the rice jar between the stoves, just cooking porridge, it can only be served with pickles, it lacks nutrition, and when Gu Zheng wakes up, he has to eat a few pills, and there is a small note in the pill bottle, which says that it should be taken an hour after the meal.
Walking around the backyard, she happened to see a silly fish swimming in the pool, and she thought that her husband had also made fish fillet porridge for her, and she also asked how to make it at that time. Mo Xiaohe found a net to catch fish.
Who would have thought that the fish was not so stupid as it appeared on the surface, and knew that it was clumsy, the danger was approaching, and it swam fast, Mo Xiaohe got off the net several times, but the fish escaped without slippery.
"Hehe, the more you resist, the more I will conquer."
Showing a grim smile, Mo Xiaohe grinned, thought of some classic lines on TV, and entertained himself, "You shout, even if you shout and break your throat, no one will come to save you!" β
Gu Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth, his body was planted, and he almost fell, after he woke up, he didn't see the lady, he was a little anxious, he went to the stove to look for a circle first, it was empty, the door was not opened, it was estimated that the lady came to the backyard.
"Husband, why did you come out!"
Mo Xiaohe heard the sound, threw away the fishing net in her hand, turned her head, and met Gu Zheng's deep eyes, which were deeper than the waterhole, bottomless, she was stunned, and even forgot to get angry.
"The rain hasn't stopped, do you know, it scared the hell out of me last night!"
It wasn't a serious matter, but Gu Zheng suddenly fell into a fever and coma, she was like having no soul, the six gods had no master, and she endured it to support her, and when she saw that he was not well, she came out to toss, and the suppressed panic all came out, and tears rolled in her eyes.
"Lady, it's me who is wrong."
Gu Zheng didn't feel good in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her wipe her tears, his heart was moved, he had experienced countless dangers, others said that he was hard-hitting, but who really bled and was sad for his injury?
Only the lady, even if he has a small wound on his hand, she will have to scream for a long time, but she can't see him receive a little injury.
"You know you're still standing stupidly? Don't go back yet! β
Mo Xiaohe stepped forward to push Gu Zheng, and after thinking about it, he was not well ill, what if he pushed his heels? So, her hand changed from pushing to supporting, and after entering the door, she found a set of dry new clothes, put hot water, and asked her husband to scrub and burn her feet, and saw that his forehead was sweating, and brought a quilt to let him lie down in peace. "It's just a fish, I don't have a hard time catching it, it's going to be a plate of food soon!"
Before Mo Xiaohe went out, she told her husband not to move, thinking that she didn't know how long he had been here, if she saw her clumsily catching fish, she couldn't hold it on her face, and argued for herself.
"That is, everything in our family is in charge of the lady."
Gu Zheng hid the smile in his eyes, his face was expressionless, and he said seriously, "The lady only needs to order it." Mo Xiaohe, who walked to the door, staggered, turned her head and glared at her husband fiercely, it seems that her condition has improved, you know that she is teasing her, right? It's a strange thing, he used to be an old-fashioned person, but now he has a black belly.
After fighting with the fish for a quarter of an hour, Mo Xiaohe was disgraced, and after catching the fish, the thorny head was still dying, bouncing on the ground, Mo Xiaohe picked up a wooden stick, showed no mercy, and directly gave the fish a stick.
Cutting fish fillets is a technical job, fortunately, the knife is often sharpened at home, and it is quite sharp, before and after, it took a total of half an hour, Mo Xiaohe made a pot of fish fillet porridge. The rest of the fish was marinated in rice wine, stir-fried with sweet and sour, and she didn't put chili peppers considering that her husband was sick.
Small pickles, oily salted duck eggs, sweet and sour fish segments, fish fillet porridge, steaming steamed buns, and a light tray for her and her husband's breakfast.
"Lady ......"
Gu Zheng had already washed, sweated and changed his clothes in time, his body was refreshing, the whole person was relaxed, he was able to recover so quickly, the lady was indispensable, looking at the steaming meal on the table, his hard heart had already softened into water.
"Eat first, and then take medicine later."
Mo Xiaohe waved her hand, she tasted it, the fish fillet meat was as light as possible, but the taste was the best, the silly fish was not easy to catch, the meat was delicious, it seemed to be stronger than yesterday's grilled fish.
Yesterday came back late, I didn't see it really, next to the stone platform at the door of the house, there were several kinds of wild vegetables, and she went to pick some after the meal, and made a wild vegetable ball at night.
The husband's body should be well maintained, so as not to leave sequelae, no matter what kind of illness in these years, it is not a minor illness, not to mention that illness hurts the body.
During this time, she was pregnant, at home and outside the home, it was all up to her husband to be busy in and out, too hard, she could still share such a trivial matter as cooking, and she would hand over dinner to her, and after Gu Zheng stabilized, the two of them would go down the mountain.
