Struggled to pull her feet out of the mud pit, her feet were already covered with mud, Su Xiujin wiped a handful of sweat beads on her face, she has never been so wolf in two lives, it is the first time she wears this sackcloth, Su Xiujin bent down to find a covered path from the grass, and finally reached the fence wall of the family all the way, the family has a black dog, through the moonlight, Su Xiujin stared at the lean black leper dog tightly, the dog also licked his tongue and tilted his head to look at her, Su Xiujin held his breath, and suddenly the big dog barked wildly, Su Xiujin's heart mentioned it.

The door creaked open, and an aunt in coarse linen opened the door and shouted, "Black dog! What are you screaming about! ”

Suddenly, I saw a girl with mud and grass standing outside the fence wall, and Aunt Li hurriedly called the old man in the house, "Old man, do you see if there is a person standing there?" ”

"What are you yelling about at night?" There was a noise in the room, Su Xiujin knew that she was being treated as a bad person, and hurriedly stood in the light, the black dog whined, looked at her with her teeth, and Su Xiujin said loudly: "Auntie! I'm not a bad person! ”

As soon as these words came out, Old Man Li also came out to see, and it was a girl standing outside.

Aunt Li hurriedly pulled away the black dog, opened the fence door, Old Man Li walked out of the house, the two looked at Su Xiujin, although she was a little dirty, but she could see that she was a delicate little girl, Su Xiujin begged without saying a word: "Uncle, auntie, my mother is sick, something happened to my family, so I came here, please take us in for one night." ”

Old man Li and Aunt Li looked at each other, and Old Man Li looked behind her and asked, "Where is your mother?" ”

"On a big rock on the side of the road ahead."

Old man Li went to the house to get an oil lamp, and said, "You go into the house, old woman, you get some hot water for this girl to warm up, and I will pick her up." ”

Su Xiujin wanted to follow, but Aunt Li hurriedly took her hand and said, "Don't worry, my old man is familiar with this area." Before the words fell, Old Man Li took the oil lamp and drove into the overgrown path.

Su Xiujin

Aunt Li beckoned Su Xiujin to sit down and roast the fire, she quickly took the wooden basin and went outside to get a basin of water to wipe Su Xiujin's face, Aunt Li twisted a handkerchief for Su Xiujin, Su Xiujin did not dislike it with a cotton cloth that was not clean, carefully wiped her face, and when she wiped her hands and face, Aunt Li looked at Su Xiujin in the light and admired Su Xiujin's face like a freshly peeled egg: "The girl is so beautiful." ”

Su Xiujin smiled, she is really not beautiful in this life, if Aunt Li sees Su Changfang, she really wants to praise the immortals.

Aunt Li poured another cup of hot tea for Su Xiujin, Su Xiujin blew the tea leaves on the water, drank it shallowly, Aunt Li said: "Don't worry, my old man will find your mother later, you and your mother will sleep in this house, my kid has gone to the neighboring village, and Ming'er will come back, don't dislike it." ”

Su Xiujin hurriedly shook her head, "It's already a great kindness for my aunt to take in our mother for two nights." ”

Aunt Li smiled and said, "What kind of grace, I don't understand, by the way, girl, what's your name?" ”

"Su Xiujin, delicate show, brocade brocade." Su Xiujin explained carefully.

"Xiujin, Xiujin, it's really a nice name, see that you are not from our poor family, this name is not the same as us, our girls are all called flowers, Cui'er, not like such crepe."

Su Xiujin pursed her lips and smiled, she could see that the aunt in front of her was a very good person to get along with, and she secretly said in her heart that she was lucky, and after a while, the black dog barked outside the door. I heard Old Man Li shouting: "Old woman, come and help!" ”

"Hey!" Aunt Li stood up and pushed the door out, Su Xiujin followed closely, Old Man Li found the fourth aunt on the side of the road, the fourth aunt was already burned to the ground at that time, and saw an old man suddenly appear in the grass, the fourth aunt was full of excitement, holding the folding fan that Su Xiujin gave her tightly with both hands, and shouted: "Who are you!" Don't come here! ”

Old man Li explained for a long time, the fourth aunt put down the folding fan, the old man Li helped to hold the burden, the fourth aunt followed him, limping away, the old man Li also looked back a few times from time to time, the fourth aunt who was burned in a daze saw the light but could no longer hold on, leaning against the fence wall to fall asleep, provoked the old man Li to shout.

Su Xiujin looked at the fourth aunt, her heart was anxious, and she hurriedly helped the fourth aunt into the door with Aunt Li, the fourth aunt was lying on the dirt bed, sweating profusely, Su Xiujin's face was full of anxiety, where to find a doctor at this time?

Aunt Li made a basin of cold water, asked her man to go to the field to pull out two big radishes, pushed Su Xiujin away, and said: "Miss Xiu, don't panic, your mother is also feverish, I will cook her a bowl of soup later." ”

Aunt Li untied the clothes of the fourth aunt, the fourth aunt was still conscious, and kept shouting "Jin'er" and "Jin'er" in her mouth, Su Xiujin held her hand and called her mother in a low voice, and the fourth aunt stopped talking in a drowsy voice.

Aunt Li looked at Su Xiujin with low eyebrows, she wiped the body of the fourth aunt, Su Xiujin twisted the veil, and after a while, the old man Li came back with two radishes with wet mud, Aunt Li took the kitchen where she went to the head, cut the radish, cut two pieces of ginger, boiled a pot of radish and ginger soup, and put a bowl of half-fed and half-filled for the fourth aunt to eat most of the bowl, Aunt Li explained: "This winter radish is a good thing, your mother looks at it and hasn't eaten for a few days, the radish replenishes the qi, the ginger is spicy and makes her sweat, as long as a bowl goes down, I'll be sure to do it tomorrow morning. ”

Su Xiujin was naturally very grateful, Aunt Li also served her a bowl with a porcelain bowl, Su Xiujin tasted very strange, but she also pinched her nose and drank a big bowl, the rest of the soup, the poor family can't waste it at all, Aunt Li and Old Man Li ate it cleanly.

Busy until the middle of the night, the fourth aunt's fever finally subsided, Su Xiujin breathed a sigh of relief, Old Man Li had already gone to sleep in another room, Aunt Li leaned on the stove and dozed off little by little, Su Xiujin woke up Aunt Li, Aunt Li carefully touched the hands and feet of the fourth aunt, and said: "Sleep until Ming'er, make sure you get out of bed." ”

Su Xiujin was naturally very grateful, Aunt Li instructed two sentences, sealed the stove, and went to sleep, Su Xiujin carefully covered the cotton wool quilt for the fourth aunt, took out her old clothes from the baggage, and fell asleep on the edge of the earthen bed.
