Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Sudden Flame
Lin Wanbai sat up and rubbed her hair, it was really a mistake, she fell asleep in front of a stranger like this, and fell asleep defenselessly.
But it seems that he is still a reliable person.
Now she has a simple bun, and she has been laughed at by Aunt Zhao, whether she broke her head, she doesn't even remember the most basic.
Braids are still her favorite, simple and playful, but Aunt Zhao is always smiling on the side, which lady is dressed like this. But in today's situation, that's not bad.
On a rainy morning, it was a little cool, but it was wet inside and out, which discounted the good mood a little.
She walked out of the room and saw Su Mu sorting out the bamboo she had cut down from the back hill to mend the broken wall. Compared with the fine work of sweeping the floor, it is obviously more convenient to do rough work.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Wanbai immediately stepped forward, snatched the bamboo, and asked sharply.
It's already bad if you don't have a good bed rest, and now you have to do heavy work, isn't it too long to live a small life?
"I thought, with such a big vacancy, you mother and daughter won't be too safe at night."
Su Mu replied truthfully, so he started and wanted to strengthen a little, after all, Lin Wanbai's craftsmanship was really poor.
"I didn't mean that, I finally saved you, and if the wound is cracked later, it will be in vain."
Su Mu is the person she saved, and she has an unshirkable responsibility for his recovery.
"I think it should be fine."
Su Mu said disapprerovingly, no matter how serious the injury was, he had tried it, and he didn't care about this wound.
"Anyway, give me a good seat."
Lin Wanbai ignored his crooked reasoning, glared at him fiercely, and then pointed to the stool on the side with his finger.
This means clearly, if Su Mu is disobedient, it is likely to be violent.
Su Mu was a person who knew how to form shì, and he immediately raised his hand and made a very innocent expression. Lin Wanbai is not a delicate girl with a soft voice, and if she offends her, she will not have good fruits to eat.
Lin Wanbai was very satisfied with his appearance, and just as he was about to nod, he saw Su Mu's expression change, and before she could ask what was going on, Su Mu stepped forward and left her behind.
She turned around, not knowing what Su Mu wanted to do, but as soon as she turned around, she saw a person-high flame rising from the stove room, and the tongue of fire rolled up, blazing brightly.
The stove room is the most primitive kind, with yellow mud as the wall and thatch as the roof, and the inside of the stove is all dry firewood, if it really catches fire, it will soon burn everything to ashes.
"Mother!"
Lin Wanbai screamed in surprise and ran over, at this time, the tongue of fire had already burned most of the stove room, and the fire was so big that it was surprising.
Her heart was in turmoil, she didn't know what to do, Aunt Zhao was still in the stove, if something happened, what would she do?
After a night of rain, the thatch on the roof of the stove was already soaked, and the surroundings were also wet, and even if there was a fire, it could not be burned, let alone the tongue of fire would rise all at once.
She remembered what Lin Manlu had said to her when she left, if she continued to make fragrances, the people around her would suffer accidents, and the only people around her were Aunt Zhao.
Just when she panicked and didn't know what to do, a person ran out of the wall of fire, it was Su Mu, and Su Mu was still holding a person in his arms.
Lin Wanbai fixed his eyes and saw that it was Aunt Zhao.
"Mother."
Lin Wanbai rushed up and fell into Aunt Zhao's arms, because she was too frightened, she was trembling all over, and even her fingertips were cold.
"Are you okay, are there any burns, I'll take a look?"
Lin Wanbai said anxiously, because she was afraid, tears rolled in her eyes, since she came to this strange place and encountered so many unfair things, she didn't think about crying.
However, when she saw that Aunt Zhao was in danger, the strength she had been enduring collapsed into ashes all of a sudden.
Aunt Zhao smoked a cigarette and coughed badly, seeing that Lin Wanbai was crying, she opened her eyes and smiled reluctantly, and said, "Silly girl, isn't my mother okay?" ”
"I know, but, but ......"
However, the tears just couldn't stop falling, and she seemed to cry enough for the grievances she had been suffering from during this period of time.
"Su Mu will laugh at you when he sees it."
Aunt Zhao barely sat up, although the fire was big, but it was burned in from the outside, so she just choked on the smoke, and the pain in her lungs was hot, and she didn't burn many places.
Lin Wanbai raised her head and looked at Su Mu on the side, just now she was still saying that he should not move, otherwise the wound would crack; Looking at his pale lips now, I knew that the wound had really cracked.
"Sumu, thank you."
Lin Wanbai looked at him, big tears fell, I don't know what to say, if Su Mu is not there this time, she will not be able to rescue Aunt Zhao alone.
"It's just a return for the favor."
Su Mu is not an arrogant person, and he will not take credit for it, so he will pass it with a light smile.
The two helped Aunt Zhao to the room, and after some inspection, they found that they not only inhaled smoke, but also burned their arms.
Lin Wanbai stood aside, she knew how to deal with burns, but there was no medicine around her that could be used.
After thinking for a while, she walked to the wardrobe, and when she left the Lin Mansion, Lin Manlu kept giving her hairpins, although she didn't know the price of this ancient hairpin, but since it was carried by Lin Manlu, it wouldn't be too cheap.
Although she had already made up her mind not to use anything from Lin Manlu, the hairpin was something before the two of them had a complete bad relationship, and besides, the mother's body was important, so if you were angry, you could slow it down first.
"Take good care of my mother here, go and go back."
Lin Wanbai walked out while explaining to Su Mu, although it was not an appropriate thing to put the two sick numbers at home.
But Lin Wanbai knew very well that even if Su Mu was seriously injured, he was much more useful than her.
It's a trivial matter like running errands and pawning and hiring a doctor, so let her do it.
Coming out of the pawnshop, Lin Wanbai took two taels of silver, just a hairpin, and he could pawn two taels, according to the pawnshop, where only one-tenth is given, the value of this hairpin is definitely not low.
It seems that the value of the Lin family's concubine is really not low, but who would have thought that another girl from the Lin family was on the verge of starvation.
"Little lady."
Lin Wanbai was walking on the road, and suddenly heard someone calling her, raised her head, it turned out that unconsciously, she came to Gui Chunxing again, and the shopkeeper was greeting her warmly.
"What do you want to buy today?"
The shopkeeper looked at her, rubbed his hands and said with a smile.
Lin Wanbai's mind was full of Aunt Zhao's injuries, and she didn't have the heart to buy spices at all.
"I haven't used up the last time I bought it, and I'll come back if I need to."
Lin Wanbai said politely, and then wanted to leave.
"Yes, I want to talk to the little lady about the new high-quality musk, tulips and white honey, do you want to keep them?"
The shopkeeper still said with a smile, and the smile on his face did not change.
Just by listening to the name, you know that it is not cheap.
Lin Wanbai thought about it carefully, and it was not a bad thing to book the goods first.
"Then please trouble the shopkeeper to keep it first, this is a deposit of one or two silver, and if there are any high-quality spices in the future, keep them for me."
