Chapter 90: Brutal Man
Tilting Xiaodou swallowed her saliva, only to see a woman in a goose yellow dress walking towards her.
When the line of sight was clear, I found that this woman was actually the woman who was holding the child just now, but at this moment, she changed her clothes, and her makeup seemed to be wearing a light makeup, and her originally delicate face looked even more beautiful and moving at the moment.
"Don't move, benefactor, you still need to rest. The woman sat down and held the little bean who was about to get up, with a little anxiety in her eyes.
Tilting Xiaodou had no choice but to give up, pointed to the room again, and asked puzzledly, "Where is this?"
The woman put the pillow on the back of the little bean, let the little bean lean back on the pillow, and saw the puzzled look of the little bean, and explained with a smile, "This is the little woman's home, the benefactor was seriously injured in order to save me, if you don't mind, you can stay here for a few days, and the little woman can repay the kindness of the benefactor." ”
Tilting Xiaodou to think about it is also a gesture, but I never thought that the woman was actually in my heart, I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart, scratched my head, and said embarrassedly, "You are too polite, I don't want you to repay anything for saving you." ”
The woman let go of the adzuki beans and brought the medicine bowl from the wooden table in the center of the room, which was steaming hot at the moment, and it was obvious that it had just been boiled.
The woman blew on the medicine bowl, looking very serious, there were still some dregs in the medicine bowl that did not know where to float in, the woman carefully cleaned up the debris with a small spoon, and when the medicine was cold for a few minutes, she scooped a spoonful and gently fed it to the mouth of the adzuki bean.
Tilting Xiaodou was a little embarrassed, and snatched the medicine bowl after taking a sip, "I'll do it myself, my hand is not broken." As he spoke, he took the spoon from the woman's hand and drank it himself.
Although she knew that the medicine of the mortal world was not necessarily useful for her body, she could not refuse just because the woman boiled the medicine for her.
After a few sips, Tilt Xiaodou suddenly remembered that when she met the woman just now, the woman was holding a medicine bowl in her hand, looking very cautious and cautious, and then looked around the room, the items placed in it were very simple, the room was not big and even had an old atmosphere.
Looking at the woman's clothes again, although they look neat and clean, there are small patches at the corners of the clothes, and you can't see them at all if you don't pay attention to them.
Tilting Xiaodou's heart tightened, he was in no mood to drink medicine, paused, put down the bowl, and frowned.
The woman saw that Tilting Xiaodou was gulping down the medicine, and her eyes were full of smiles, Tilting Xiaodou suddenly stopped, and the woman frowned slightly, a little puzzled.
"Don't buy me medicine, I'll be fine after a few days of rest, and you can't afford those medicines. Dumping Xiaodou was a little sad, she seemed to be causing trouble to others again.
The woman hurriedly shook her head, with her head in tow, her delicate face was a little frightened, "Benefactor, don't say that, the little woman must make her benefactor better." ”
Tilt Xiaodou stretched out her hand to take the woman's hand, the woman's hand was a little cold, but it was very soft, the small palm was held in the palm of her hand, and a smile was drawn at the corner of her mouth, "You just need to help me find a cave, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”
The woman was shy, a little embarrassed to be held by Xiaodou's hand, but it was difficult to break free, so she had to turn her face away, her long hair covered half of her face, and she whispered, "Benefactor, what do you want to do in the cave?"
Tilting Xiaodou squirmed his lips, swallowing what he wanted to say, his voice was dumb, and finally he said faintly, "Our family has a very strange problem, if you are injured, you must go to the cave for a few days, so that it will get better faster." ”
She didn't dare to tell the woman that she was a demon, after all, mortals were afraid of demons, and they also had a sense of disgust, she was afraid of being disgusted, so she had to tell a lie.
The woman didn't seem to think much about it, but when she heard Tilt Xiaodou say that she could get better quickly, she readily agreed, and promised that she would find a suitable cave in a few days.
Tilt Xiaodou smiled heartily, the woman's kindness was beyond her imagination.
"You haven't told me what your name is after talking about it for so long?" Tilt Xiaodou knocked on the woman with interest.
The woman was stunned, pointed to the wooden fence on the bed, and her eyes were clear, "Mu Tan." ”
Tilting Xiaodou looked over with the woman's gesture, only to find that the wooden fence of this bed was made of sandalwood, and there was a faint fragrance when you got closer.
It's just that Mu Tan has always been precious, and this seemingly poor family has Mu Tan, it seems that maybe this woman is not an ordinary person.
However, it was only her conjecture, after all, there were people who didn't want to get this kind of thing.
"Benefactor, what should the little girl call you?" Mu Tan blinked his eyes and looked at Xiaodou expectantly.
"Just call me a dump, don't call yourself a little woman, it sounds awkward. ”
Mu Tan knows. ”
Tilt Xiaodou's face suddenly burst into laughter, and the woman laughed too, and the small room echoed with the woman's silver bell-like laughter, not big or small, filling the whole room, bringing a little vitality to the originally dull room.
Suddenly, a cry sounded, and it could be heard as a child's cry, crying very loudly, but also very crisply.
The woman hurriedly got up, "Bai'er is crying again, benefactor, you rest first, Mu Tan goes to see Bai'er." ”
Tilting Xiaodou nodded, knowing what the child was going to do when he was crying, Mu Tan was relieved to leave the house, and muttered in his mouth Bai'er Don't cry, my mother is here.
Tilting Xiaodou stared at Mu Tan's back in a daze, and didn't know why, she actually thought that it would be good if she and the master had a child, what should the child be called, Bai Liang, I hope the child is kind, and I also think about who the child will look like, what the child will look like, and what the child will look like when he laughs.
Thinking about it, the medicine bowl in his hand slipped out of his hand at some point, and the medicinal soup was suddenly sprinkled all over the quilt, and the quilt was also stained with brown and yellow stains, which was in stark contrast to the pure white quilt.
A wry smile was drawn at the corner of Xiaodou's mouth, what was she thinking, what she should do was to make herself stronger, not to end up with her parents and younger brother, and at the same time reduce her thoughts and love for her master.
Shaking his head, although his body was still a little sore, but when he woke up, the demonic power in his body also calmed down, and it was okay to see that the weather outside was good, so he went to wash the dirty quilt.
As soon as he said it, he took his package and put on clean clothes, but when he pulled the clothes out, a corner of the clothes also came out and fell to the ground lightly.
Although Su Yusheng didn't say anything, she always felt that this piece of clothing was not an ordinary piece of clothing, and she also liked this piece of clothing in her heart, so she took advantage of Su Yusheng's inattention to pick up the clothes that Su Yusheng cleaned out and secretly cleaned them.
A ray of sunlight shone in through the window, which was reflected on the corner of the clothes, emitting a bright light, and Tilt Xiaodou smiled, put the corners of the clothes back into the package, tied the package tightly, changed into clothes, ripped off the quilt, and went out of the house.
As soon as she got out of the house, the sun was shining on her, well, it was so warm.
Sweeping around, it seems that this house is in the middle of the mountain forest, there don't seem to be any residents in this vicinity, and there are all bamboo forests on the side, and there should be a stream not far away, and the sound of the stream flowing can be heard.
Outside the room, there was a stone mill, which seemed to have been used for a long time, and it was stained with a little dust.
After bracing his waist, he walked to the small stone slab next to the stone mill, brought a chair, took the bucket next to the stone mill, drew some water from the well in front of the small stone mill, and poured the water into the basin.
She began to clean the soiled quilt, she hadn't done these tasks for a long time, and she was still a little overwhelmed, she thought, maybe the master was too used to her.
"Woman, you come out for Lao Tzu, dead woman, you come out quickly, Lao Tzu still has something. Pouring Xiaodou was washing happily, and suddenly there was a voice in his ears, which sounded like a boy's voice, and it was a little impatient and impatient.
He poured the bean quilt into the basin, wiped the sweat from his face, dried the square towel that was stained with water on his head, got up and walked towards the source of the sound, and before he could get to the man, he saw the man's face clearly.
His hair was messy, it seemed that he hadn't been taken care of for several days, his clothes were also very messy, there were many stains on it, and he was wearing cloth shoes that had long been worn out, and when he looked at it again, he had no eyes, and he was tied with a cloth on the side without eyes, and there were things like scars on his face, and he was grinning and fierce.
Tilting Xiaodou couldn't help frowning, how could Mu Tan know such a man, he didn't look like a man from a good family.
"Who are you, call that stinky woman out. When the man saw that he was pouring Xiaodou out, the impatience on his face became thicker, his legs were shaking, and he frowned dissatisfiedly.
Mu Tan in the house was coaxing Bai'er in his arms to sleep, feeding enough milk, and hearing someone call her, a trace of joy flashed on her face, she was busy, walked out, saw the man, and greeted him excitedly, "Husband, you are finally back, I have been waiting for you for a long time, hurry up, tired, come into the house and sit down." With that, he picked up the man and walked into the house.
It's just that the man didn't fulfill Mu Tan's wish, and shook off Mu Tan with one hand, "Stinky woman, I'm just looking for you to get some money to spend, who wants to go into that broken house to sit, and think Lao Tzu is not unlucky enough, it's really unlucky." ”
The man's face was full of arrogance, and he seemed to be completely blind to the expectation in Mu Tan's eyes.
A trace of sadness flashed on Mu Tan's face, but he still smiled, tried to pull the man again with his hand, and said softly, "Husband, I'll give you money, you can come in and sit down, go and see Bai'er, Bai'er is well-behaved, you go and see him, he is in the house." ”
The man's impatience became stronger, and the strength of his hand became heavier, and he threw Mu Tan away, Mu Tan didn't pay attention for a while, and hit the stone mill on the side, and blood suddenly overflowed from the corner of his forehead.
Tilt Xiaodou went over to support Mu Tan and scolded the man sharply, "She is your wife, why are you like this." ”
This man is actually Mu Tan's husband, but he doesn't seem to be a good person to Mu Tan, and he definitely doesn't deserve Mu Tan's kindness to him, looking at Mu Tan's appearance, it is estimated that he knew that the man was coming back, and deliberately went to make up for it, but the man didn't care.
"A woman who has been by an unknown number of men, I am ashamed to say that it is my wife. ”
