Zhao Cheng closed his eyes, looking very painful, as if he noticed her coming in, opened his eyes and glanced at her, some surprise flashed in his eyes, but he didn't speak. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Gu Siniang also cared if he said or not, put down the medicine stove, turned around and piled up all the dry branches that Xiaohuzi picked up, grabbed a handful of weeds, and broke them with fire, and soon the weeds smoked, and even the branches made a crackling and burning sound.

With the fire, the temperature of the cave gradually increased, not as cold as before, Xiaohuzi shivered, and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's so warm." ”

It was obviously the simplest sigh, but Gu Siniang's eyes were red for no reason, and the child didn't know how long he had been frozen.

"Here's for you."

As she spoke, she took out the peanut candy and rice cake from her pocket and stuffed them into Xiaohuzi's hand.

Xiaohuzi looked at the white rice cake and swallowed hard, took it to his mouth and sniffed it, then licked it in a small bite, and his eyes lit up instantly, "It's sweet." ”

"Well, let's eat." Gu Siniang touched his head.

"To my brother." As he spoke, he stuffed the rice cake into Zhao Cheng's mouth on the side.

Gu Siniang hurriedly stretched out her hand and grabbed it, "My brother is sick, and you can only eat when you take medicine, you can eat it yourself first." ”

Xiaohuzi hesitated for a moment, and then his eyes fell on the rice cake in his hand again, after all, he was young, and he was quickly attracted by the aroma, and opened his mouth to take a bite.

"It smells so good."

"Eat slowly." Gu Siniang said this, and went outside with the casserole, on a snowy day, she didn't have to bother to find water, she used the casserole to fill it with snow and went back, put it on the fire, and soon the snow water melted when it was hot, and it became clear water.

It took some time to boil the medicine, and when the smell of medicine in the cave became stronger and stronger, the medicine was almost done.

"Zhao Cheng." Gu Siniang walked up to the young man, first touched his forehead, and then softly called his name.

Zhao Cheng opened his eyes, although it was very uncomfortable, but he could see that his consciousness was still awake, Gu Siniang continued, "I estimate that your situation is cold, but I am not a doctor, so I am not completely sure." This herb was left at home when I was sick a while ago, and I will steal it out and give it to you. But I can't guarantee that this medicine will cure you. So how dare you gamble? ”

If it was an ordinary ten-year-old child, Gu Siniang didn't think he could understand his words, but Zhao Cheng was different, he lost his mother and father at a young age, he had a more difficult life than ordinary children over the years, and naturally he was much more precocious than ordinary children.

"I do." Zhao Cheng nodded almost without thinking about it.

Gu Siniang nodded, poured the medicinal juice in the casserole into the prepared coarse porcelain bowl, and after letting it dry for a while, she helped him sit up.

Zhao Cheng held the medicine bowl in his hand and turned his head to look at her, as if he was a little puzzled, "Why are you helping me?" ”

The people in the village said that the two brothers were calamity, and they killed their parents, and at first there were a few uncles and aunts who took pity on the two brothers and occasionally gave them a hot meal, but when they saw them later, they all took a detour, for fear of being contaminated with bad luck.

"You're just going to be so kind to me all of a sudden." Gu Siniang explained casually, she actually wanted to convince herself, don't bother with this nosy, it's thankless, what does other people's affairs have to do with her.

It's one thing to think about it, but it's another thing to really meet a sideline, and she can't help but meddle in the end.

"My sister is the best person, she gave me steamed buns to eat, and this candy." Little Huzi's immature voice sounded, his face was red from the fire, but his eyes were unusually bright.

"You're right." Zhao Cheng smiled at Xiaohuzi, then raised the medicine bowl shortly, tilted his head, and drank it with a bang.

It's obviously a bitter taste that makes people want to vomit, but after he drinks it, his face still doesn't change, as if he only drank a glass of water.

"Don't you feel bitter?" Gu Siniang felt that she felt bitter for him.

"It's not bitter, it's a life-saving medicine." Zhao Cheng said.

Gu Siniang was stunned for a moment, and sighed with some emotion, this is what a ten-year-old child should say.

"Okay, the medicine is drunk, you hurry up and lie down." Gu Siniang looked at the sky outside, and the sky was darkening unconsciously, "I should go, you guys watch the fire at night and extinguish it before going to bed." ”

"Sister." Xiaohuzi was reluctant to let her go, and pulled her sleeve a little sadly, "Can you not go." ”

"Little Huzi, you are obedient." Zhao Cheng said.

Hearing this, Xiaohuzi's eyes were red, he pursed his lips and wanted to speak but he didn't dare to speak, he lowered his head and looked very aggrieved, Gu Siniang looked a little sad in her heart, and reached out and touched his head, "Sister is going home, I'll come to see you tomorrow when it's dawn, and bring you something delicious." ”

"Sister, will you come back?" Children are simple-minded and can say whatever they want.

Gu Siniang smiled and replied very affirmatively, "Of course I will come back." ”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded heavily, "Xiaohuzi will be very obedient." ”

"You take good care of your brother, and I'll give my brother some rice cakes to eat later." Gu Siniang thought about it and explained again, then glanced back, the young man who was lying with his eyes closed, turned around and walked out of the cave.

By the time she got home, it was already completely dark, and she was about to enter the house when suddenly a familiar voice sounded behind her.

"Well, I kind of know what you're doing!"

Gu Siniang clutched her chest and looked at the face that suddenly appeared behind her with a frightened expression, "Third sister, do you know that people are scary and scared to death." ”

"Hmph, I'll just say that you must have a ghost when you're sneaky, and I didn't find out about it?" Gu Sanniang looked up with a condescending look.

"Third sister, I don't understand a word of what you say." Gu Siniang shook her head and pretended to be stupid.

"Still pretending to be with me, you hid those two little unlucky eggs in the back mountain vegetable cellar, do you think I don't know?" Gu Sanniang found that Gu Siniang was stranger than usual today, and saw her sneakily going out, so she quietly followed.

Gu Siniang raised her head when she heard this, her expression was not as playful as before, but a little serious, "Third sister, they are just two poor children. ”

"There are so many poor people, can you take care of them?" Gu Sanniang snorted, a little disapproving.

"I know I can't manage them, even if they do, I can't control them." Gu Siniang lowered her head when she said this, her voice was very low, revealing an indescribable depression, "But, third sister, can you just stand by and watch because of your limited ability?" ”

Gu Sanniang didn't understand these words very well, but she understood one thing, that is, Gu Siniang must be nosy.

"I'm going to tell my dad that they're going to get angry if you do this."

"Third sister, if you have to say it, I can't help it, but do you really want to see them die at such a young age, if I don't care about them, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, they will starve to death or freeze to death."

Gu Siniang's eyes were sad, these days, human life is the most worthless thing. (To be continued.) )
