CHAPTER XX

It was like a small dark room, and I stayed quietly in this small dark room. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info As a former new century three-good boy, now feudal society, masculine peasant Lori, I still think it's incredible. I have always pursued freedom, prosperity, and prosperity, and I am willing to stay in this little dark room, but the truth is that I stay in this little dark room and do not want to go out.

It's like a deep pool that doesn't drown. I was quietly immersed in it, very relaxed, very relieved, not having to think about those upsetting things, not having to look at those unpleasant images, not having to listen to those nasty sounds. Even when I occasionally open my eyes at the bottom of this pool, I think: Who am I? Where did it come from? Where are you going?

As a result, I thought about it for a long time without any results, and I got tired of thinking, and then I fell into a deep sleep.

It's such a wonderful environment, even though I'm asleep, I know I'm asleep, I can still feel the presence around me, there's a legendary out-of-body feeling. When I fell asleep, I floated in this endless space, swinging, very happy, and never bored.

I can see what is happening in the outside world, but I can't convey it. So, until the moment I woke up, the memories came flooding back......

――

"Sister Wakaba, today is your 13th birthday! I caught a rabbit for you and stewed it! As he spoke, Hu Xiaobao, who was no longer white and chubby, sat on the wooden pier with a steaming wooden bowl, and on the opposite side of the wooden pier was Wakaba with dull eyes and no focus.

The black and thin Hu Xiaobao looked at the wooden bowl full of meat, swallowed hard, scooped up a spoonful of broth full of minced meat pieces with a wooden spoon, swallowed it again, and blew it gently with his somewhat chapped lips, "Sister Wakaba, ah-!" ”

Hearing Hu Xiaobao's voice, Wakaba instinctively opened his mouth and said, "Ahhh ”

Carefully fed into Wakaba's pink cherry mouth, watching Wakaba swallow it without leaking, Hu Xiaobao had a happy smile on his face, scooped up a spoonful of broth full of minced meat again, and blew it gently, "Sister Wakaba, ah-!" ”

Wakaba: "Ahhh ”

……

Feeding Wakaba is Hu Xiaobao's most tired and happiest moment every day. Watching Wakaba resist at the beginning, and finally slowly get used to eating the food he made, and now he can quietly let himself finish the meal, Hu Xiaobao felt a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction spontaneously, filling his already small heart.

Mom and Dad are gone, can't I still take care of Sister Wakaba? Dad is right, as long as there is a man, this family will not collapse!

After taking a white linen soaked in hot water to help Wakaba wipe his body, and serving Wakaba to sleep, Hu Xiaobao blew out the kerosene lamp in the room and waited quietly in the shadow of the moonlight.

The moonlight was slightly cool, the water condensed into frost, and the sound of steady breathing came from the bed slightly. Hu Xiaobao, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, got up and helped Wakaye pull the quilt, and then he walked out of this small brick house that also had his own credit.

I went to the kitchen at random and found two coarse buns, swallowed the pickles sent by Aunt Liu next door, picked up the gourd scoop, scooped out half a scoop of water from the jar and drank it, and then I breathed a long sigh of relief. He was so hungry that day, he didn't do anything to catch the little rabbit, and he poured water into the rabbit's nest, which produced a little rabbit the size of an adult's palm!

But Sister Wakaba looks like she's happy to eat, it's worth it! What will I get for Sister Wakaba tomorrow? Do you want to stop digging wild ginseng in the mountains?

Thinking so, Hu Xiaobao threw himself down on the cold kang with satisfaction, stretched his sore limbs, turned over and hugged the somewhat blackened futon, and after a while, there was a steady and heavy breathing sound.

――

"Sister Wakaba, can you please eat something?"

"Sister Wakaba, these are all herbs I dug up from the mountains, and Uncle the village chief said they can cure diseases!"

"Sister Wakaye, don't throw it away, these medicines must be taken!"

"Sister Wakaba, this is ginseng, I used all the money in the family to get it from the village chief's uncle, eat it quickly!"

"Sister Wakaba, I'll go out and dig up herbs and supplements for you, don't run around!"

"Wow, ahhhhh

……

After staying in the tree for three days in a row, the hungry wolf, who was almost about to collapse, reluctantly glanced at Hu Xiaobao on the tree, disappeared in the woods, and stayed in the tree for most of the day, confirming that the wolf was really gone, and Hu Xiaobao slowly got off the tree.

Although he had picked herbs to satisfy his hunger, Hu Xiaobao, who had also been extremely hungry for three days, couldn't care about picking up the small basket of herbs on the ground, tightened the back basket behind him, and immediately ran towards the village.

……

"Sister Wakaba, what's wrong with you, it's all my fault, don't die! Woooooooooooo ”

"Sister Wakaba, hey, you're not dead! Woo-haha-haha......"

"Wait, Sister Wakaba, I'll go get you something to eat right now!"

"Uncle Village Chief, give me something to eat, Sister Wakaye, she is dying of hunger, woo woo, Uncle ...... Village Chief"

"Sister Wakaba, I have something to eat, the village chief's uncle gave it, eat it quickly!"

"Goo Dong (the sound of swallowing saliva), Sister Wakaye, you eat first, don't run around, I'll go out for a while!"

"Sister Wakaba, Goo Dong, don't grab my trouser legs, Goo Dong, I'm really just going out for a while, and I won't go far!"

"Well, that's right, Goo Dong, Haha, Goo Dong, Sister Wakaye, you eat slowly, I'll go out first!"

At that moment, the hunger in Hu Xiaobao's stomach was not as good as the startled glance that Wakaba pulled at his sleeve in a panic when he heard that he was about to leave again.

The pitiful and cute face of the injured little beast was reflected in Hu Xiaobao's black eyes, and Hu Xiaobao swore that there would be no regrets in this life!

Translated: With me, you will never starve to death!

A man's oath, what a heart-wrenching sentence.

――

Oh oh

The rooster crows, and the sky is hazy; The rooster crows twice, and the sky is faint; The rooster crows three times, and the sky is clear.

Hu Xiaobao, who has been getting up early for the past few years, immediately got up, stretched his waist at the sun, which was still a big red ball, and yawned bigly.

Hurriedly walked into the kitchen, lit firewood, poured half a pot of water, and then took the time to wipe his face with a yellowed coarse cloth soaked in cold water. He watered the vegetables in his small yard one by one, and went out with a small axe on his back to collect some dead branches by the woods next to him.

It's almost time to feel it, and when I come back, I scoop out half a basin of boiling water and wash my hands carefully. Then he changed the basin of water, put on the white linen for Wakaba, took a clean wooden comb and staggered to the door of Wakaba's room, and pushed the door open with his shoulder.

"Sister Wakaba, I'm in!"
