Chapter 100: A Bitter Cold Day
Ye Dongcheng is gone, so there are only two people left in the mansion now, one Yin Cao and the other is her maid Xiao Qiao.
The mansion has become more deserted, but Yin Cao's mood has become better, the quiet corridor from time to time can hear the laughter of her and Xiao Qiao, the exquisite attic occasionally comes from the beautiful piano room, if you are lucky, you can still hear her singing voice of Lin Lai Quanyun, although there are only two people, but it makes this originally lifeless mansion suddenly full of life.
"Miss, why don't you play it? Xiao Qiao thinks it's very good! ”
Yin Cao pressed his hand on the string again and said angrily: "What's the use of sounding good, but someone else did it for his wife to relieve boredom." And I heard that his wife seems to be still fighting big words and can't read a basket, isn't this a waste of things? Xiao Qiao, what do you think of this girl's piano skills? ”
The clever little Qiao immediately gave a thumbs up and said: "Absolute demeanor, if Miss is called second in this Yuzhou City, absolutely no one dares to call him first." ”
"Then why didn't anyone give me a tune? Even if it doesn't sound so beautiful, as long as it doesn't sound so ugly, it's a pity that after so many years, don't talk about the tune, and there is not even a poem that doesn't make sense. ”
"Uh...... It's almost noon, and Little Joe is going to prepare lunch for you. After saying that, Xiao Qiao turned around and ran, she didn't want to relieve her young lady who was sulking, because once she said the wrong thing, she would really be beaten, and Xiao Qiao didn't want her ass to be beaten red by Miss again.
"I'm not going to eat at home today, let's go out to eat." Yin Cao stood up and said.
"Go out to eat, but the young master ......"
Yin Cao rudely interrupted Xiao Qiao's words and said: "Young master, young master, how many days has he been away from us now, not thousands of miles, but also eight hundred miles, how can he come back so soon."
Listen to me, let's go out to eat today, the restaurants in the city should open these days, by the way, I heard that the fritters and preserved egg porridge in Willow Lane are good, we haven't tasted them for so long! By the way, the tooth shop should have also opened, and there are only the two of us in such a big house, don't you think it's too lonely? We're going to have to buy some servants and come back. ”
……
Wu Zheng's feeling when he returned to Shenmu Village was one word, that is, cold.
When I left the city, the ice and snow in the city melted, but there were still ice skates under the eaves here, and the beauty of the fog pine could be seen everywhere.
It's just that there is no one here to admire the wonders of the ingenious fog pine, and there are no children to drag the ice skates under the eaves, and they are all frozen and huddled at home and refuse to go out.
When he got up the next morning, Wu Zheng had only one thought in his mind, that is, he hid at home and didn't go to the fire.
The brazier at home was burned by Xiang'er and was big and prosperous, smelling the strong smell of charcoal, Wu Zheng now felt that even if he was smoked by this charcoal, it was better than freezing to death, thinking of this, Wu Zheng couldn't help but think of his cheap master Huang Xing.
What impressed him the most about this cheap master was that he liked to burn three large charcoal basins in the house and bake the whole house warm.
Before dawn in the morning, Seinfeld got up and went to the bamboo forest to practice knives, and now Wu Zheng has basically made progress in this winter, so he doesn't go anywhere in front of the charcoal basin.
Xiang'er became busier, because grandma and aunt came, as Seinfeld's maid, this kind little girl became very cautious in front of the living, trying to do everything and take care of everyone, in order not to let grandma and aunts say that their young lady was the king of the mountain and had no tutor.
Watching the little girl through the window keep sending hot water and braziers to the small building where grandma and they lived, Wu Zheng really wanted to stop the little girl, it was not necessary to work so hard, grandma and aunt were very good people.
However, when I thought of my aunt, they were not very familiar with this place on the first day they went up the mountain, or two days after the aunt was familiar with the environment here, with the aunt's idle temperament, the little girl would suffer from gains and losses because she had nothing to do all day.
His eyes swept over Xiang'er's body and fell to the gate of the small courtyard, where Yuntong, the only divine doctor in the village who could cut people with a knife and heal people with a knife, had already passed by there three times.
At first, Wu Zheng thought that he just happened to pass by there, but in the blink of an eye, he walked back and forth there three times, which made people feel a little strange.
To be honest, Wu Zheng really didn't want to leave this warm brazier, but looking at Yuntong's appearance, there must be something, and most of his affairs were related to the health of the people in the village, so Wu Zheng had to stand up and walk to the window and shouted to Yuntong who appeared outside the courtyard again: "I said that Uncle Yun came to Wanwan so early in the morning!" ”
Yuntong is not a fool, where can he not see that Wu Zheng is ridiculing him, so he smiled awkwardly: "That uncle, I really don't hide from my subordinates, I don't know if my uncle can take a step to speak?" ”
"Uncle Yun, there are no outsiders here, if you have anything to do, just say it! As long as I can help, there is no ambiguity. By the way, Uncle Yun has breakfast? Xiang'er made steamed buns today and came in to try her handiwork. ”
Yuntong's eyes couldn't help but light up, the buns made by my uncle were famous and delicious, as long as those who had eaten it thought about it, they would be full of relish. Now although it is said that it is wrapped by Miss Xiang'er, it must also be the true inheritance of my uncle, and the taste is definitely not much worse.
But when Yuntong thought that there were still a few children in the village who were sick and unconscious, he deeply suppressed the yearning for food in his heart, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "No, uncle, let's change the day!" ”
"Another day? So you're really in a hurry? ”
"There are three boys in the village who are sick, and the high fever does not go away, and the little ones really have no choice, and I want to ask my uncle to take a look."
"Why don't you say it earlier, I'll come right away when I arrive."
If Wu Zheng had changed this thing before, Wu Zheng would definitely not be able to cure it, but now it is different! Huang Lao's god called his god to reduce the fever needle, Wu Zheng got the true inheritance.
I haven't learned it all yet, but it's just a lack of time.
ran to the study and picked up his small medicine box, and went out with Yuntong.
The morning mist filled the entire cottage, the color of heaven and earth became hazy, the roof was covered with frost flowers, and everywhere there was water on the ground, there was a thin layer of ice slag.
Although I am in the south, it is too cold on this mountain, just like being in the northeast, and I can't wait to put on the quilt when I go out for a walk.
Under the guidance of Yuntong, Yun Zheng came to Liu Si's house, his dog was sick and anxious, and when he saw Wu Zheng appearing at his house with a medicine box, the faces of both of them couldn't help but rise with a touch of joy.
Not for anything else, just because their uncle is recognized as a miracle doctor in the entire village, and others talk about bringing the dead back to life is a joke, but in this Shenmu Village, everyone saw him drag his father back from the ghost gate.
I heard that my uncle just returned to the mountain last night, but I didn't expect to come early this morning, and now the dog is finally saved.
The couple gave Wu Zheng a salute, but Wu Zheng looked at the clothes on the two of them and felt very uncomfortable, they couldn't wait to go out under the quilt on this cold day, but they didn't even have a padded jacket on them.
But it doesn't seem to have cotton yet, but there are reed flowers and catkins! Although sewing into clothes is not as warm as a cotton jacket, it is better than wearing three pieces of linen!
However, seeing the bulging in other people's clothes, and taking a closer look at the half-section of straw exposed in the seams of the clothes, Wu Zheng realized that they had stuffed straw between the two clothes in order to protect themselves from the cold.
When I walked into the house, I saw that there was firewood burning in the fire hall, although it was impossible to burn firewood very large and strong in a low house, but it was still better than the outside of the house.
There was a bed beside the fire, where the dog lay and the only leopard skin in the house was on his body.
The little guy's face was flushed, his lips were chapped with a layer of dead skin, looking pale and rough, and he touched the kid's forehead with his hand, which was so hot that Wu Zheng wanted to subconsciously withdraw his hand.
This situation is indeed incurable for Yuntong, but it may not be for itself......
