Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other
After Chu Ying finished the quilt, she looked at the bamboo shoots and bamboo whips in the back basket, and should clean up the bushes behind the house and plant these bamboos, but they only know the bamboo, and there are too many other bamboo species that can't be distinguished, but it doesn't get in the way, and whether they can survive or not depends on their own creation.
But the bushes are too big, and all the credit for the past few days is only more than 10 steps of progress, and it can only be faster by burning by fire, but Chu Ying can hardly estimate the area of the bushes and the number of rabbits in the bushes, so he can only open a piece of fire first.
But when Chu Ying lit a small part of it and went to fetch water to come back, the fire had gradually grown, and the wind was blowing the tongue of fire and spreading in all directions.
Chu Ying went home and brought a sickle and tried her best to open a separation zone, but the thorns were thorny, Chu Ying's single clothes had been torn open many times, and she couldn't care about the injuries on her body, what if it burned like this and spread to the mountains, now the weather is dry and dry, and I don't know where the demon wind came from, without warning.
Chu Ying stepped on the slash and finally got out of the thorn bushes, looking at the tall trees in her eyes, Chu Ying looked at the wind direction was east-west, and it had not yet spread to Chu Ying's position, so she picked up the branches and set the fire to the grass on the ground first, and then extinguished it with fresh branches, burning from the west to the east where the fire was most fierce.
"Chu Ying, Chu Ying, Chu Ying, where are you?" Because the bushes have not been burning for a long time, but the fire is still relatively large, Wang Qiyuan originally wanted to tell Chu Ying that the Lu Meng family is in the sky, and the whole village will go to help, but he saw that the fire behind the house was spreading, and there was no trace of Chu Ying in the house, so he was afraid that she would go to extinguish the fire alone.
Chu Ying was burning out a barrier like crazy, where could he hear Wang Yuyuan's shout, although he was exhausted, but looking at the fire that was still spreading to the east, Chu Ying could only fight his spirit, this kind of fire Chu Ying had not encountered before, and he was trapped by forest fires a few times before he went out on a mission, but fortunately, everyone cooperated and finally came out.
But now Chu Ying is not just protecting herself, but trying to save the woods behind her and the fields of other people's families in front of her. "Chu Ying, what are you doing? Don't run away yet? ”
Wang Jiyuan grabbed Chu Ying's arm and wanted to drag her out, "Brother Wang, I can't go, you burn out a place like me, if I go, if the fire spreads to the woods behind, I can't imagine the consequences." ”
Wang Yuyuan looked at the countless small scratches on Chu Ying's body, and some places on his arms were burned, although he was distressed, but Chu Ying was right, this bush was missing, it would be fine, if the mountain behind the woods behind it also burned, it would alarm the mountain god and there would be disasters in the future.
The two of them worked together to burn out a separation belt, "Wang Er, Chu Ying?" Qian Yong and the other brothers were still soaking their feet at home, when they heard Wang Liyuan running and saying that Chu Ying was burned to death by the fire, picked up his shoes and ran over.
By the time they arrived, the fire was half smaller, but the bushes were large and were still spreading to the east. Picking up a scorched ground where there was no fire, I saw two people in the distance setting fire with torches.
"What are you two doing? Nothing to do with fire? Qian Yong saw that the grizzled Wang Er was still alive, and excitedly wanted to go up and hug him.
"Hurry up and put out this one we burned. Hurry. ”
When it was almost dark, Qian Yong, Lu Meng, Wang Er, and Chu Ying sat on the ground, looking at the charred ground in front of them and each other's embarrassment, and they all laughed.
"Silly, why don't you play with fire? Not afraid of bedwetting at night? Qian Yong hammered Wang Er weakly.
"I'm afraid, I thought about roasting the rabbit, but I didn't expect to go home and get some salt, and the fire will start by itself. Ha ha. "Chu Ying can't tell that she deliberately wants to burn this bush, and she can't be flattened if she says it.
"Silly, what about you rabbit?" Lu Meng led four charred rabbits from a distance. "Here, how many are there, Chu Ying, you burned all the rabbits' nests. It's ruthless enough. ”
"You've found you. It's all like this. It smells good. Chu Ying took one of them, bit off the burnt part outside, and gnawed it down.
"Wang Er, come." The brothers sat on the ground and ate the charred rabbit. "Chu Ying, you wait to wash my mother's and get some medicine to rub."
As soon as Wang Qiyuan said Qian Yong, they also saw that Chu Ying's clothes were covered in charcoal black, and there were many scratches.
"Okay." Chu Ying looked at the bushes that were burned with only carbon left, and originally wanted to burn them gradually in pieces, but the demon wind broke the plan, although there were many injuries on his body, but it was also a matter of heart.
Chu Ying went to look for the rabbits again, and gave the three rabbits she found to Wang Yuyuan and them. "It's good that you're here, otherwise you wouldn't have seen me, so take this rabbit back." Go home and wash yourselves, all of you. Thank you very much. ”
"Oh, by the way, did Wang Er tell you? The day after tomorrow, my family drinks Liang wine, so come when you have dinner. If you're like that, don't come to help. ”
"Okay." I didn't notice it when I was so dizzy that I was in a hurry just now, but now I feel hot all over my body when I calm down.
"Then let's go." Wang Jiyuan and Lu Meng waved goodbye and helped Chu Ying to the house.
"You don't have a bucket here, how can you take a bath, go directly to my house." Wang Qiyuan closed Chu Ying's door and squatted on the ground to let Chu Ying come up.
"No, I can go. Ah......h
Wang Qiyuan hugged Chu Ying in his arms, "Don't move, the more you move, the more painful it is." Chu Ying endured the pain and couldn't say anything.
"Oh my God, you want to die again when you live so well? Pear orchard, you go and boil water. Liyuan knew that Chu Ying was fighting the fire, but she didn't expect to be injured like this, and she lost the interest in bullying her, so she hurriedly went to boil water.
"I'm fine, really." Chu Ying couldn't help but squeeze out these words.
"And said it's okay, what if a little girl is injured like this, what should I do if I have a scar? Will you marry in the future? You go out. Aunt Wang pushed Wang Qiyuan, who was at a loss on the side, out of the door, took a woman's clothes, and put them on the low bed.
"This is from the pear orchard when I was a child, it's all clean, don't you mind." Chu Ying smiled reluctantly.
Aunt Wang used scissors to cut off the clothes stuck to the skin, looking at Chu Ying, who was trembling slightly, so little child bit her lip and didn't scream, just as strong as her mother.
"Bite the chopsticks, don't break the skin of your mouth." Aunt Wang used a face towel as quickly as possible to help Chu Ying wipe her hands and legs first. Take out the ointment and apply it slowly, then wrap it in a clean linen cloth.
"I can't touch the water these days. Take this medicine twice a day. Chu Ying took a small porcelain bottle given to her by Aunt Wang, Chu Ying knew that medicine was still relatively precious in this era, and when she was better, she would give Aunt Wang a new bottle.
"Thank you." Chu Ying got up slowly, trying not to pull at the wound.
"Chu Ying, let's eat at my house and then go, you can't cook like this. Mother, you said yes. ”
"Yes, Chu Ying, but it's a matter of adding chopsticks."
"Thank you anyway, I'd better go back, it's already a lot of trouble." Chu Ying slowly dragged her feet.
"I'll hold you." Aunt Wang looked at Wang Qiyuan, who was walking with Chu Ying, and shook her head.
Chu Ying looked at the carbon land, not knowing whether to be happy or sad. "Brother Wang, thank you."
"Neighbors say thank you, they all help each other." Chu Ying ate some leftovers and lay down, tomorrow you can take a look at the woods, and then tidy up the burned bushes, Chu Ying lay on the bed and didn't dare to move, it hurt when she moved, so she could only fall asleep on her back to the sky.
"Chu Ying, have you slept?" Wang Qiyuan saw that Chu Ying didn't make a sound, so he put the wooden barrel containing 3 sets of autumn clothes at the door.
By the time Chu Ying got up with difficulty and opened the door, Wang Qiyuan had already walked away, and Chu Ying looked at the clean 3 sets of small autumn clothes, and was very grateful.
