Chapter 238: Visitation
When he got home, Father Wen went to the front shop to get busy, and Wen Shu went back to the room to see the fat thief.
As soon as the door opened, a small black ball rolled to his feet, and when Wen Shu bent down to pick it up, the huge body of the red shadow also pounced.
Wen Shu stroked its head and praised: "It's very good, you didn't go out after I left, right?" ”
Red Shadow shook her head, and her mouth kept pecking at the ball in Wen Shu's hand.
"I'm hungry, wait, I'll get you zongzi to eat."
Wen Shu got up and went to the kitchen, and when he was halfway through, he suddenly remembered the old couple in the west of the city, today's Dragon Boat Festival, I don't know if they make zongzi? Are you still drinking the porridge with bran?
In time, she planned to take some zongzi later.
picked two salted meat dumplings and returned to the room, Wen Shu dismantled the dumpling leaves, broke the dumplings into small pieces and fed them to Hongying little by little, then went back to the kitchen to wash his hands, and fed Hongying some water by the way.
When this was done, she took out a small handful of grass from the basket, and the green blades of grass were topped with bunches of black fruits like wild grapes.
The Shanhai Sutra persuaded that eating Yao Cao could clear the eyes, but the specific method of taking it was not explained, so she didn't know whether it was the fruit or the Yao grass itself that could make the purpose clear.
After pondering for a while, Wen Shu decided to try them all, and he tried them himself.
The things in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the moment they touch it, Xiaoxing will automatically report the name and efficacy, and the poisonous ones will also be specially reminded to explain, but this Yao grass does not explain, so it proves that the whole plant is non-toxic, so she can try it boldly with confidence.
The fruit of Yaocao is a little sour and astringent to eat, and it is a little bitter under the tasting, in short, the taste is not good, Wen Shu stopped after tasting a bunch, as for the rhizome of Yaocao.......
Wen Shu forgot about the green grass in front of him, and couldn't open his mouth.....
She is not a sheep, and she really has no habit of eating grass raw.
But there are some things that you have to try to find out? So after struggling for a while? She could only pinch her nose and chew a herb raw.
Surprisingly, the rhizome of Yao grass tastes better than the fruit in the mouth? There's a hint of sweetness in the cool juice? In this early summer, is the fever already in season? It makes people feel a little cooler all over.
I don't know how long it will take to see results, and how much effect will it have? And her eyes are good? Even if it has an effect, I'm afraid it's not obvious.
After some contemplation? Wen Shu decided to bring it over first, after all, it can't be a bad person, that old woman has a disease in her eyes, if it really works? The effect is definitely more obvious than hers.
As for making Yao grass into other foods? It tastes better and makes it look less weird........
Wen Shu had thought about these ideas, such as making ripe water, thirsty water or tea soup, but these ideas had to wait for her hand to improve before she could experiment one by one.
Picked up two hanging zongzi from the kitchen, about 20 or so and put them into bamboo blue? Wrapped the yao grass in a clean cloth and put it on it, and Wen Shu carried the basket to the shop? Said hello to her father, and she went out of the shop? Ordered a mule cart on the street.
Since her disappearance, she has told her father about the iron box as it is? Including the time she stays every time she goes in? And possible breaches? I will lock her in the mountain and sea world for a month, or even longer.
She said this because she didn't want to encounter a similar situation next time, and her father was worried that she couldn't eat or sleep, and even thought that she had suffered an accident and was heartbroken.
Sure enough, Dad was stronger than she thought, and after hearing the whole story, he was silent for a while, and then told her to be careful and say nothing else.
In fact, I knew that I couldn't stop her, so I let it go.
Since then, she has come and gone more casually, just need to say a word, tell me where to go, and her father will basically not stop her.
The mule cart was walking leisurely on the street, and Wen Shu sat on the car, rubbing his legs, while thinking about how to tell the old woman about Yaocao later, and how to persuade her to obey.
Two quarters of an hour later, the mule cart stopped at the mouth of the alley, Wen Shu paid for the car, and limped in with Lanzi on his shoulder.
The Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated by the whole country, and this shabby and low alley is no exception, with mugwort of different sizes, extending from the mouth of the alley to the inside, and the smell of zongzi leaves and wormwood wafting in the air.
However, when Wen Shu lame and slowly moved to the leather shop, she found that the door was closed, she tried to knock a few times, but no one responded inside, she took two steps back and looked at the backyard, but there was no smoke.
"Is it out?" She muttered to herself.
Just as he was about to come back another day, he saw a gray-haired mother-in-law with a bowl in her hand coming out of the house not far from the right side.
Seeing this, Wen Shu hurriedly shouted, then limped over and asked about the situation.
After hearing this, the old woman shook and sighed, "I didn't go out, I was sick, and I was lying in the house." ”
"Sick?" Wen Shu was stunned, "Are you sick, can my mother-in-law take me to the backyard to have a look?" ”
Hearing this, the old woman looked her up and down a few times in surprise, and then asked tremblingly, "Who are they, little lady?" ”
Wen Shu said with a smile: "I used to look for my father-in-law to nitrate the skin, but today during the Dragon Boat Festival, I wanted to come over and send some zongzi." ”
"The little lady is kind-hearted." The old woman smiled and nodded, and then pointed to a path behind her and said, "I was about to deliver porridge to his house, so come with me, little lady." ”
"Mother-in-law, this porridge was sent to Xiong's house?" Wen Shu asked, looking at the bowl of thick porridge.
"Yes, both of them have been sick for seven or eight days, and the two of them have no children and no daughters, if it weren't for us old neighbors taking turns to feed us with some porridge and water these days, I'm afraid they would all be ......" The old woman sighed and shook her head.
"What about his little grandson?" Wen Shu asked.
The child is seven or eight years old, and should be able to do some simple work, and if he is able to do simple meals, he can also do simple meals.
"It was snatched away, if it weren't for this, they wouldn't have fallen ill together, hey....... It's fate, let them not adopt that child in the first place....."
The old woman's voice gradually lowered, but Wen Shu still heard the word adoption.
That child was adopted?
The last time the owner of the carriage came to snatch the child, it was ........
The leather shop was only three or four rooms away from the old woman's house, and it was not far to go around the backyard at this time, and when Wen Shu was thinking about these things in his mind, the old woman had already pushed open the courtyard door with one hand.
"Mrs. Xiong, I'm here to deliver food." She shouted in a hoarse voice, and stepped in.
The hospital responded to her with two coughs.
Wen Shu followed the old woman in, into a very low mud room, the room was dimly lit, and there was a wooden bed on the west side of the inside, which was actually a wooden board on two benches.
At this time, the two old men were lying side by side on the bed, the blind mother-in-law heard the voice, and looked at the door with half a body, while the old man was facing the bed sideways, and he didn't know whether he had fallen asleep or didn't want to pay attention.
