Chapter 004: A Bowl of Porridge
A peaceful past night. At about five o'clock in the morning, Zhu Fu, who woke up hungry from his sleep, walked out of his house, came to the edge of the well, and threw a small bucket with hemp rope placed next to him directly. Hearing the sound of "bang" water, he waited for a while, shook the handle on the well with both hands, and slowly moved the small wooden bucket containing the well water in one direction.
As soon as he put it on the ground by the well, Zhu Fu squatted down with his legs and went facing the bucket. "Goo Dong Goo Dong" gulped the cold well water in the bucket as he used it to quench the hunger in his belly. With just a cup of tea, he drank most of the well water directly into his belly. I felt full, and I got back on my feet.
"Uh" for a while, Zhu Fu, who was full of water, is not unclear, and this is not an effective way to really solve his own five internal organs temple. There was really no way to come up with such a solution, so he walked in the direction of the main entrance. With every step I take, I can really feel the water in my stomach swaying from side to side, and it also makes a "clanging" sound.
Zhu Fu, who opened the two broken doors and walked out not far away, sat directly on the steps of the platform outside the door. Looking at the road up the mountain, he wished that someone could come up and find him to come down the mountain to do a ritual. In the midst of this boredom, I naturally remembered the dream I had last night.
Zhu Fu would not think that his dead master gave him a dream, after all, he had read Freud's "The Interpretation of Dreams" once. In his dream, not only does he really have the appearance of his master, but the other party is repeatedly telling himself that "if you get rid of the Ming Dynasty, you will have a chance to return to the afterlife", and on the other hand, it has become blurred from near to far, and even disappeared. Not only that, but he also asked his master, saying that he had nothing and it was difficult to even survive, so why did he bring down the Ming Dynasty? It's strange to think about it, it was originally a fool's dream, but his master just smiled, and even said two words "God beats".
Zhu Fu, who understood the so-called divine beating, was to invite the gods to come up, crossed his hands in front of his chest, drooped his head, and entertained himself with a smile on his face. At this time, his mind instantly thought of a shirtless, uneducated, ignorant of science, with a long braid dragging behind his head, facing the long spear and short cannon of foreigners, waving the big blade in his hand The figure shouted step by step: "Invulnerability, in......vulnerability" Then, with a "boom", a gunshot rang out, and he fell to the ground in response.
Zhu Fu, who thinks about it day and dreams at night, doesn't take it to heart, and waits for business to come to the door. I don't know how long he waited, but he saw that the sky changed from bright to bright, the red sun was hanging high in the sky, and Zhao Tian'er said from behind him: "It's time for lunch." ”
Zhu Fu, who got up and didn't even pat his buttocks, didn't need to look at it, and his feelings were not high, it was not difficult to think that this little girl was making this last bit of rice in her bottom-to-bottom rice jar to make this last lunch. Sure enough, as he expected, Zhao Tian'er did boil the remaining half bowl of rice in the rice bowl into porridge.
Zhu Fu, who sat in front of the front yard with only half of the stone table left, smelled the fragrance of the bowl of thick white rice porridge on her hands that she had served first and cooled. A coarse porcelain bowl and the pair of chopsticks on it were placed in front of him by Zhao Tian'er. Busy picking up chopsticks with his right hand and holding a coarse porcelain bowl with his left hand, he was eating porridge with the expression and action of a vicious dog.
It was eaten by Zhu Fu in less than a minute, and not even a single grain of rice was left in the bowl. He was still unsatisfied, and he had to put down the rice bowl, if he didn't care about her in front of him, he was afraid that he would have to pick up this coarse porcelain bowl with both hands and lick it thoroughly with his tongue. At this time, I remembered that there was not much leftover rice in the rice tank, and Zhu Fu, who could count it clearly, was eaten by himself, so would Zhao Tianer still have anything to eat? He didn't ask for another bowl of porridge, but looked at the little girl in front of him who would have been in charge of the house and asked gently, "I ate it, but what about you?" ”
Zhao Tian'er, who had long regarded him as the person she had entrusted for life, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table on the one hand, and on the other hand, her expression was unnatural, but she smiled sweetly, and lied knowingly: "There is still a kitchen!" ”
Zhu Fu, who could see at a glance that she was lying to herself, suddenly stood up and went directly to the kitchen that was about to collapse. When he came to the stove, he directly untied the lid of the wooden pot, and except for a few rice grains floating on the surface of the water with some rice soup in a pot, he could clearly see that there was nothing in the water.
Zhu Fu, who was moved for a while, naturally understood that Zhao Tianer kept all the dry food for herself, and left some of it for her. He has mixed feelings in his heart, and he doesn't know what to say at all. Just yesterday, he still felt that she was a burden, but now, he thinks that twelve-year-old Zhao Tianer is more sensible than himself, a person in his twenties.
Zhao Tian'er, who saw why he was unhappy, was even more moved than him in his heart, after all, he was strongly aware that there was such a person as himself in his heart. And she has a deep-rooted concept of male superiority and inferiority of women, she originally felt that this was common sense, and the basic character that a woman from a good family should have, and there was nothing noble or noble, and she didn't love it.
"I'm a girl's family, and the amount of food is small, so it's okay to eat this. After all, you are a man, and you eat a lot of food, so it is natural to eat more. Zhao Tian'er in turn enlightened and comforted him.
As soon as Zhu Fu heard her say this, his heart became more and more uncomfortable. No matter how small her meal is, her stomach can't be truly filled by the contents of this pot. What's more, she is still an adult, and she is a minor. In any case, it should be him who is here to show the demeanor that a pure master should have.
"Anyone? Is anyone there? A middle-aged man's voice came loudly from the front yard.
Immediately, Zhu Fu, who was excited, did not continue to dwell with Zhao Tian'er about the matter in front of him, but strode in the direction where the voice came. In his heart, he silently recited over and over again: "Your family must die!" Either your father dies or your mother dies, and it's best that the whole family dies except for you. ”
