"Sister, are you better?" Mu Caiyun pushed the door in and brought a bowl of warm water, put it on the kang, turned around and looked, and lay on the kang for three days, and just woke up her sister.

Since the eldest sister came back from outside covered in mud three days ago, she lay motionless for three days, as if she was dead, and did not open her eyes until this time.

Thinking of death, Mu Caiyun couldn't help but wipe her tears, her mother is gone, if her sister leaves them again...... She didn't dare to think about it.

"Don't cry...... Am I not still alive? Mu Xiang leaned on the kang head, looked at the girl with two braids in front of her, and then looked at the empty house, the dilapidated roof, and the rotten window paper the size of a palm, and even the thin quilt on her body was only half a piece, which could cover her head, but could not cover her feet. It's almost autumn season, and this thatched house is extremely cold.

Mu Xiang didn't know how she came, one moment ago, she was still shooting and killing, and the next moment, the man forced her down the cliff, she thought she was going to die, such a high cliff fall, can she not die? But when she woke up again, in addition to the pain that seemed to fall apart, it was a sweeping memory, which made her have a splitting headache, but there was no scar on her body.

With her memory, she struggled all the way back to the thatched hut, fainted in the courtyard, and then she couldn't remember what happened until she woke up just now.

Mu Caiyun wiped away her tears fiercely, "Eldest sister, you sleep first, I'll go make you some porridge!" ”

"Hmm," Mu Xiang nodded, she needed to be alone now, and she also needed to sort out the memories that had been poured into her head.

Caiyun helped her cover the quilt, then opened the door and went out.

Mu Xiang leaned against the window and saw Caiyun rummaging in the corner of the courtyard for a long time, found two small potatoes that had sprouted, and entered the outer room.

Potatoes that sprout are inedible and have a slight toxin, but Mu Xiang remembers that this is the only little food in the family.

Closing her eyes, Mu Xiang went through the memories in her mind. The owner of this body is called Mu Xiang, but it is exactly the same as the name of her previous life. In addition to the girl just now, she also has a younger brother named Mu Gouzi. Their mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to her younger brother, and after two years, her father married a widow to be their stepmother.

The stepmother also took her daughter with her, and a year later, the widow gave birth to a boy for her father.

Mu Xiang is not Sui's father's surname, her father is a son-in-law who comes to the door, presumably after coming to the door, he feels uncomfortable, and he treats the three of them coldly and indifferently, and then the mother gives birth to a male baby, and there is no place for the three of them in the family. The stepmother drove them to live in a hut on the edge of the big house, and apart from a broken quilt and a basket of rotten potatoes, they did not share anything else with the three siblings.

The original woody fragrance, timid and docile. Even if the younger siblings were hungry and crying at night, they didn't dare to plead with their father. When it comes to the mind, the wood fragrance in the previous life is really not like the owner of this body at all. People don't live just to suffer sin, if they blindly swallow their anger and let others bully and oppress them, then what kind of strength is there to live?

Just as she was thinking, a small black head suddenly appeared by the window, staring at her.

Mu Xiang beckoned and called, "Dog come in!" ”

The little boy walked quickly around the door and ran into the house. He is a wooden dog, an eight-year-old boy, but because of malnutrition, he is not as tall as a six-year-old baby. When his mother gave birth to him, he had a difficult birth, and he held it in his mother's womb for a long time, and his brain reacted slower than the average child.

Mu Gou'er stood by the kang, looking up at her with a dirty little face, "Second sister cooking...... Not tasty......"

Mu Caiyun was also outside, and when he heard his words, he opened the curtain and rushed in, took his arm and walked out, "I told you that the eldest sister is uncomfortable and can't get up, are you just disobedient?" Some of them are still picky, and in a few days, even these potatoes will be gone, see what else you want to eat! ”

Mu Xiang lay down for a while, felt much better, and said: "Caiyun, don't yell at him, I've been lying down for three days, and I should go down to the ground for a walk." "It's also strange to say that this Mu Xiang, who fell from such a high place, only fainted, and didn't even have internal injuries.

"Eldest sister, are you okay? Why don't I cook," Caiyun rushed over to help her.

"I'm fine," Mu Xiang got off the ground and put on her old cloth shoes, and after the initial vertigo passed, it was nothing unusual.

Seeing that the two sisters looked wrong, Mu Gou'er also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his little head drooped. Mu Xiang walked over and touched his head, "I'm really fine, my sister just slept for a while, it's not a big deal, let's go, let's go cook!" ”

This younger brother, she is sincerely distressed, she was an orphan in her previous life, whenever someone else's family is reunited, she can only nest in her own hut and turn on the TV sound to the maximum, only in this way will she not feel lonely.

The house where the three of them lived was two rooms inside and outside, adding up to less than fifteen square meters, with a stove outside and a small table next to it. A notched kitchen knife was resting on it, along with a half-cut potato.

Mu Xiang stood at the door for a while, took a few breaths of fresh air, and felt much better. The yard of her house is very small, the wall on one side is high and neat, there is a big house on the other side, where her father and stepmother live, and on the other side of the wall, there is only a remnant left. On the other side of the remnants, there is a bamboo forest, there has just been a rain, the bamboo leaves are green and verdant, and there are rotten straws under the corner of the wall, which is the straw that they pick up every autumn harvest, and after a long time, these grasses are rotten, and a rain passes, and a lot of mushrooms grow.

Mu Xiang walked over and saw that edible straw mushrooms were growing under the straw, holding a small gray umbrella, and a large piece had actually grown.

"You can't eat mushrooms, you will die if you eat them," the dog said to her at some point, crouching beside her.

Mu Xiang smiled: "Those beautiful mushrooms are poisonous, this mushroom is called straw mushroom, which is used to cook soup and drink, but it is fresh." As she spoke, she began to pick mushrooms, thinking that she could finally improve her meal by noon. In ancient times, the countryside was full of treasures, and there was no industrial pollution, and the ingredients were the cleanest and most tender.

The dog believed in her sister, and saw that she quickly picked a hand full of mushrooms, and also followed her sister's example and helped her pick them.

This rotten straw has really grown a lot, Mu Xiang thought, if the weather is good, if the mushrooms are picked and dried in the sun, there will be no vegetables in the future, and they can be used for emergency relief!

After Caiyun finished cutting the potatoes, he came out to scoop up the water, and when he saw them squatting on the edge of the rotten grass, he didn't know what they were doing. , then walked over to take a look, and at a glance, she was also shocked by you, "Sister, this mushroom can't be eaten, Ermao in our village, when he was a child, he became stupid by eating poisonous mushrooms, such a big person, and he drooled!" ”

Mu Xiang got up with the mushroom in her hand and said to her: "That poisonous mushroom is bright in color, easy to recognize, believe me, this is an ordinary straw mushroom, and when you turn around and boil the soup, you will have a good meal." She took the mushrooms to the bottom of the porch, where there was an old bucket, and there was no well in the yard, so they had to go to the river a few hundred meters away to fetch water and eat it.

The dog followed the eldest sister step by step, watched her wash the mushrooms, and also helped her wash them together.

Caiyun has always listened to the eldest sister, her mother went early, and her father didn't care about them, and the eldest sister was the same as their mother, so what the eldest sister said must be right.

"Then I'm going to pick up the mushrooms too," Caiyun quickly ran back to get the bamboo flats, and picked up the remaining slightly larger mushrooms as well.

Mu Xiang picked out some big mushrooms that were washed out first and put them in a big bowl, "Dog, you and the second sister are playing in the yard, and I'll cook the mushrooms." ”

"Oh, oh, there are mushrooms to eat at noon," the dog clapped his hands, and a smiling face was reflected in the woody eyes, which was exceptionally warm.

Walking into the kitchen, Caiyun only cut the potatoes, the stove was not yet burned, and only some water was added to the small iron pot, which was ready to cook the potatoes.

Seeing the pot, Mu Xiang felt even more hungry, since he wanted to eat, he had to work hard, Caiyun's cooking skills were indeed not good, no wonder the dog complained, Caiyun basically only cooked the food, and put some salt to season it.

Mu Xiang scooped the water out of the iron pot, squatted under the stove, and lit a handful of hay with flint. After all, it was the first time to light the flint, and I was not very proficient, so I lit it several times in a row, and finally lit it.

The dog was also hungry, knowing that there was something good to eat, so he followed Mu Xiang in front and back, Mu Xiang lit the fire, he also squatted aside, and handed her a broken twig, "Sister, here you go!" ”

Mu Xiang took it with a smile, "The dog is so well-behaved, really capable!" ”

Hearing her sister's praise, the corners of the dog's mouth were almost up to her ears.

When the iron pot is hot, you can put oil.

Thinking that there is still a little vegetable oil at home, it was given by Grandma Wang's family in the village during the Chinese New Year, and it was only two taels of vegetable oil. Mu Xiang held the vegetable oil bottle, pondered for a long time, and was still ruthless, scraped the oil bottle clean, and dripped it into the pot.

Caiyun heard the stinging sound of oil in the pot, and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything more.

Mu Xiang stood by the stove, waited until the oil temperature was almost enough, poured the mushrooms into it, and stir-fried for a while. There are no other seasonings at home, and when it is almost fried, add salt and water, wait for the water to boil, simmer on a small fire and make a cup of tea, the fragrance of the mushrooms will come out, the more the mushrooms are stewed, the more viscous they are, if only they could put some incense.

As soon as the mushrooms came out of the pot, Caiyun and the dogs drooled greedily, and they hadn't smelled the oil for a long time. In the past, the eldest sister was reluctant to put oil when cooking, and I remember that the last time I ate oil, it was still during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Seeing that the mushrooms were still simmering over low heat for a while, Mu Xiang thought about going to the vegetable garden to have a look.

The vegetable garden was just behind the house, next to a small pond. The pond is common in the village, and if it is in time for a drought, the pond can save the life of a village, and in the countryside, if the farmer does not have a harvest, it is fatal. Regardless of whether you have a harvest or not, the land rent is indispensable.

Mu Xiang's three sisters and brothers naturally have no land, except for the low-lying vegetable garden behind the house, there is no other place that belongs to them.

"I'll go to the vegetable garden and take a look, I'll be back in a while, Caiyun, you look at some fire, if the water in the pot is almost finished, put the potatoes in it, cook them together, save yourself from going back and have to cook the potatoes separately!"
