Chapter Seventy-One: Quiet Thought
Ling'er put the bowl back on the stove, and Apricot was afraid that the forest fish was not yet well, so when she saw that she had finished drinking the porridge, she asked her to lie down and sleep for a while.
Lin Yu lay down obediently, but he still remembered his grandmother in his heart, and after tossing for so long, he didn't know if his grandmother was buried? Thinking of this, she hurriedly asked, "Apricot, how long have I been asleep?" What about Grandma? Have you buried your grandmother? ”
Apricot was helping her to lie down, hearing her question, her eyes darkened, and she was a little sad when she thought of her own milk, but she was afraid that Lin Yu would worry, so she deliberately said briskly: "Sister Xiaoyu, you slept for a day and two nights, don't worry, my milk has not been buried yet, and today my father took the bolt baby and Qi'er to dig the cemetery, saying that he would wait for the Taoist priest to come tomorrow to conduct the ceremony......"
Lin Yu remembered that in ancient times, it was important to put it into the ground, but now there is not even a coffin, how can I bury my grandmother? Can't let grandma break the mat and wrap it, right? Grandma's descendants are all here, and if she is buried in a hurry, it is really pitiful, and she can't help but ask anxiously: "Then where did the coffin come from......
Apricot turned her face to the side, and after a while, she turned back to look at Lin Yu, and said with a thick nasal smile: "You are not well, why do you care so much?" You can rest assured! With my dad here, we don't have to worry about anything......"
Seeing Apricot with a forced smile, Lin Yu was puzzled, but she also knew that she didn't want to worry too much, so she forced down the doubts in her heart, smiled and said "yes" to Apricot, and lay down and closed her eyes.
Now that I'm just a little better, I can't share anything for the apricots, and I can't worry about it. On the contrary, it still made them remember, and she was also a little sad when she talked about her grandmother, so she had better take care of her body earlier. Tomorrow so that I can get up and see off grandma.
Seeing that Lin Yu didn't ask her again, Apricot breathed a sigh of relief, touched her forehead, and felt that she didn't have any more heat, so she found a thick cotton jacket to put on Lin Yu's stomach, sighed and said to her gently: "Sister Xiaoyu, I'll go out to boil medicine for you first." You can sleep well again, and I'll call you again when the medicine is ready."
Lin Yu quickly opened his eyes and nodded to the apricot, and said, "Okay"
The two looked at each other and smiled. The forest fish closed its eyes, and the apricots came out of the shed.
Hearing the sound of Ling'er and Apricot greeting and entering the shed, Lin Yu thought that he was not feeling unwell now, but his whole body was still a little weak. Ling'er must have been taking care of herself for the past two days. didn't help Apricot much, so he opened his eyes again and said to Ling'er: "Ling'er, why don't you help Sister Apricot do some work, Sister is much better now, and there is nothing to take care of."
Ling'er nodded obediently, she had relied on Sister Xingzi and Uncle Zhuzi for the past two days, she was still very guilty in her heart, and she had already thought that she could help do something. But he was still a little worried about Lin Yu, so he asked, "Sister." Don't you really need me to accompany you? ”
Lin Yu bent the corners of his mouth and nodded affirmatively: "It's okay, don't worry, my sister is really much better, you don't need to accompany her, go quickly"
"Then I'm going?" Seeing Lin Yu's affirmative nod, Ling'er asked hesitantly.
"Don't worry, go, go" Lin Yu quickly waved her hand to let her out.
Ling'er came out of the shed with confidence.
Lin Yu was lying on the bed, but his mind was becoming more and more sober, but he thought that he would have to get up tomorrow to bury his grandmother, what if he was still so weak? Then he counted the sheep and forced himself to rest again.
When she woke up again, it was Apricot who told her to drink the medicine, and as soon as she served the bowl, she heard that Uncle Zhuzi and they were back, so she hurriedly asked Apricot to go out quickly, and she drank the medicine as bitter as Coptis chinensis in one go.
Putting the medicine bowl on the ground, she stretched out her hand to support her waist, felt that her body was no longer sore and unbearable, and her strength had recovered a little, so she got out of bed and draped her cotton jacket over her body.
Now the clothes she wears on her body and Ling'er apricots, as well as the bed and bedding in this shed are all her home, she was a little surprised when she first woke up: "After the earthquake, she and Ling'er went back to their own home, I remember that when I went to the collapsed shack to find something to plane the fire fold in the stove room, I also built a simple hut for the rabbit, but I didn't check the bedroom, I didn't know if the wooden cabinet was crushed, I was only anxious to find the fire fold to come out to cook, but as soon as I found the fire fold, it rained, Then she and Ling'er braved the rain to go back to Apricot's house, if they thought of finding a room first, with these bedding, they would not have fallen ill, and it was their own negligence."
Lin Yu walked out of the shed while thinking, and then overturned his thoughts just now: "Don't say that she has lived for more than 30 years in her previous life, it is the first time she has encountered such a natural disaster, and she doesn't have time to react so much in her mind, but even if her head was not pasted at that time, she turned out all these bedding and clothes, and when she and Ling'er hugged her to Apricot House, it is estimated that they are all wet, if that is the case, these bedding will not know when they will be able to dry, then after staying for so many days, there may be more than one person who will not fall ill. Forget it, it's useless to think about this, it's a blessing that I'm better now, and it's an eye-opener if I still have these things to use, but I don't know who found these things? ”
Standing at the mouth of the shed, the drizzle continued, Lin Yu looked left and right, on the right is the grandmother's mourning hall, on the left is a new shed, in which Uncle Zhuzi, Bolt Wa and Qi'er are fetching water and washing their hands, Apricot and Ling'er are busy by the stove, she wants to brave the rain to walk over, but the shed is not big, the five people standing in it are already a little crowded, she can't help for the time being, so she has to retreat into the shed.
Back at the bedside, Lin Yu took off his shoes and leaned on the head of the bed, looked at the drizzle outside the shed, and quietly thought about what to do to revive the home after burying Grandma.
In modern times, although I have never experienced an earthquake, I often learn about earthquakes from TV, and because of the advanced technology in that era, rescue teams would arrive quickly when an earthquake occurred. But this is hundreds of years apart in ancient times, there is nothing, information is blocked, the transportation is not developed, and I don't know if the court knows that there is an earthquake here, thinking of this, she doesn't have any hope, now the court is worried about internal and external troubles, there are wars and disputes everywhere, where is there still energy to manage this natural and man-made disaster? Forget it, it's better to believe in the court than to believe in the reality of your own coming.
Now this village doesn't know how many families have collapsed, how many casualties have been killed, these will have to ask Uncle Zhu first, if there are too many casualties, you have to find a way to disinfect and sterilize, these days have not come out of the sun is good, if the rain is no longer falling, out of the sun The temperature is high, the formation of a plague will suffer, this ancient plague can kill the whole village, or a snack is better.
