Chapter 9: Preparation
The winter noon sun shone on the cold shining knife on the ground, and the reflected light happened to shine on the delicate face of the third sister-in-law burst out of a soft light, at this moment, the third sister-in-law seemed to turn into Guanyin Bodhisattva who did not eat the incense of the world, which made people want to bow and worship.
The third sister-in-law raised her head, her eyes instantly firmed, she raised her foot and stepped over the threshold, Tianzu! This woman is not even small-footed! Tian Luohan's heart couldn't help but shake again.
The third sister-in-law walked gently to Tian Luohan, Tian Luohan hurriedly stood up with the baby, the third sister-in-law did not look at Tian Luohan's eyes full of hope, she looked at the baby for a while, stretched out her right hand and stuck the back of her hand on the baby's forehead, the hand was carved with jade, the slender fingers were like the green onion of spring onions, the nails that were trimmed to the benefit were glowing with ruddy soft light, the delicate skin did not have a little wrinkles, and the whole hand looked like it was weak and boneless, Tian Luohan never thought that a person's hand could be so good-looking, and he couldn't help but feel a little demented.
"This baby has a terrible burn, he should have a wound somewhere, right?" The third sister-in-law took her hand back and stared at Tian Luohan and asked. "There are wounds, there are wounds, there are injuries on the thighs," Tian Luohan came back to his senses and hurriedly agreed. The third sister-in-law nodded and said to Xu Si: "Little Liu, you help Tian Dawa hold the baby." Xu Si hurriedly took the baby, but heard the third sister-in-law say again: "Uncle Tian, can you take a step to speak?" After speaking, he walked towards the back room, and Tian Luohan hurriedly followed in.
After about a bag of cigarettes, Tian Luohan walked out from the inner room with his waist bowed, took the baby without saying a word and stood there with his head bowed, Xu Si's eyes were sharp, and he clearly saw a layer of fine beads of sweat on Tian Luohan's head! The third sister-in-law is amazing, she has terrible hair on her body, depending on how big Zhang Cheng you are, you will feel scared when you see her. Xu Si admired in his heart.
The third sister-in-law walked out of the inner room, but stood inside the doorway, and thought for a while before saying, "Xu Wu." "Hey! I'm here. The young man who ran in earlier and fell hurriedly replied, "You go and boil two large pots of boiling water." The third sister-in-law commanded. Ay! Not to mention two large pots, even if it is ten pots and eight pots, as long as you don't rush out of the city! Xu Wu was a little flattered and said, "Then I'm going, I'm going." After saying that, he jumped and left.
"I'm going to boil water." Xu Si wanted to slip away, "Stop." The third sister-in-law said softly, "Don't go anywhere." Xu Si had no choice but to stand there with a bitter face. The third sister-in-law took out a bunch of keys from her waist, walked out of the door and said to the two of them, "Come along." As he spoke, he walked straight out of the inner courtyard, came to a room in the outer courtyard, opened the lock, pushed the door and walked in, and Tian Luohan hurriedly followed the baby in. Xu Si stood at the door, hesitating and not wanting to go in.
"Liu'er, why don't you come in?" The third sister-in-law asked inside, Xu Si had no choice but to go in, the house was cleaned up, there was a small wooden bed on the ground by the south window, the bedding on the bed was neatly folded, there was a pair of small tiger head shoes and a pair of big embroidered shoes in the place where the shoes were placed under the bed, there was a small wooden horse in front of the bed, a small wooden gun and a small wooden knife were hung on the head of the wooden horse, a black charcoal basin full of charcoal was placed in the middle of the house, next to it was a large wooden basin, the sunlight came in through the open door and shone on the wooden basin with a golden light, Nothing has changed here! Xu Xiang's face couldn't help but feel a little hot when he thought about it.
"Liu'er, you light the charcoal." The third sister-in-law instructed, Xu Si hurriedly closed the door, walked to the charcoal basin and took out the fire sickle and flint from his arms, took the velvet and lit it with a few clicks, and then put it on the fine grass under the brazier and blew it lightly a few times, and saw a wisp of light smoke slowly rise, hovering in the air, and disappeared, only for a while, the charcoal became red, and the room suddenly became hot.
"Uncle Tian," the third sister-in-law instructed, "You go to the South House to see if Xu Wu's water is boiled?" The four Arhats answered, put the baby on the ground next to the brazier, opened the door, went out and went home again, closed the door and walked away. I'll go too. Xu Si also wanted to follow.
"Come back!" The third sister-in-law let out a low snort, and Xu Si, who walked to the door, had to stop, "Turn around and let me see." The third sister-in-law said softly, Xu Si had to turn around and glance at the third sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law sat on the small bed, looked at him with a smile, patted the open space next to him with her hand and said, "Come and sit." Xu Si's heart jumped suddenly, and he subconsciously took a step back.
The third sister-in-law's face sank suddenly, and she asked, "I heard that you have been provoking Wang Shanren again recently?" "No, nothing." Xu Si said weakly, "No? Everybody's here! The third sister-in-law stood up as she said and said sharply, "What do I say to you on weekdays? A manly man is ambitious in all directions, and he should be able to stand up to the sky and the earth, and achieve a career for future generations to admire! But what have you done? Gather a gang of ruffians and idlers to run rampant in the countryside! Do no evil! You're right, your father, your fourth brother, and your fifth brother. After a pause, he continued, "Is there still your third brother with me?" ”
Without waiting for Xu Si to express her position, her tears flowed out first, and she choked up and said, "Why is my life so bitter?" Don't even have anyone around to talk to? As he spoke, he lay on the bed and began to cry.
Xu Si panicked, what he was most afraid of was the third sister-in-law in front of him, the third sister-in-law never scolded him, let alone beat him, and even doted on him, he was only eight years old when the third sister-in-law first came, and ten years have passed, but every time he is with the third sister-in-law, Xu Si always has the idea that he is still eight years old, as if he has not lived at all in the past ten years, what he thinks in his heart, what he does in his hands, none of them can escape the heart of the third sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law is simply a roundworm in his stomach!
Just thinking about it, the door was tapped a few times, the third sister-in-law hurriedly sat up, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her eyes, Xu Si finally breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear Tian Luohan say outside: "Miss, the water is boiling." "Miss? How strange is this name?
Xu Si peeked at the third sister-in-law, but the third sister-in-law's face did not change, but her eyes were slightly red, and she only asked her to speak: "Bring two buckets of hot water and one bucket of cold water." Tian Luohan responded, the third sister-in-law stood up and went straight to the baby, squatted down and touched the baby's forehead with her hand, turned to Xu Si and said, "Go get a brazier again!" Xu Si pushed open the door and went out as if he had been released.
The cool breeze outside the house blew on his face, and Xu Si couldn't help but shiver. When he came back with a pot of charcoal, he saw Tian Luohan walking over with a large wooden barrel in one hand, the boiling hot air sprayed on his hand, Tian Luohan's hand turned red, but he seemed to be unconscious, Xu Si hurriedly opened the door, put down the brazier, and Tuan Luohan had already walked into the house with hot water.
Xu Si was just about to close the door, but he called to the back, and Xu Wu shouted breathlessly: "Fourth brother, fourth brother help me!" ......" but saw Xu Wu stumbling over with a wooden bucket of cold water, and the placket was splashed wet, Xu Si hurriedly ran over to help him carry it, Xu Wu said a little mysteriously: "That Arhat is like an iron beater, and he is not afraid of soda!" Xu Si didn't say a word, and carried the water into the house with him. Tian Luohan had already lit the coals of the other brazier, and the room was even hotter.
