Chapter 2: The Strange Red Lotus

"Sister, drink the fish soup quickly. lest the big and small strong see it and rob it! "Da Zhuang is the oil bottle that Liu married and brought over, and Xiao Zhuang is their half-brother who is only three years old.

It was difficult to resist the burning hunger in his stomach, so Gu Ye took the hand of his cheap brother, and barely drank a few sips of fish soup and couldn't drink it anymore. Tortured by long-term hunger, her stomach has shrunk, and the functions of her internal organs have deteriorated severely, and she is so weak that she can barely breathe. What is the meaning of "running out of oil and drying up"? Just look at this body and you'll know it clearly.

"Take another sip, you've eaten too little." Gu Ming looked at her sister worriedly. Because the nutrition couldn't keep up, my sister got sick twice in three days. The stepmother was afraid of spending money and was reluctant to hire a doctor for her sister. At the risk of being eaten by wild beasts, he went into the mountains to hunt, but he caught very little.

When he was lucky, he caught prey such as pheasants and hares, so he sent it to the only doctor in the village, Dr. Wu, and asked him to help his sister treat her illness. Dr. Wu said that my sister's illness came from hunger and exhaustion. As long as you're full, you'll be fine.

He helps his sister work whenever he has time, and finds his way out to let his sister eat more. But my sister's body is still gradually weakening. In recent days, almost the grain of rice has been difficult to eat, and what you eat and vomit is what. Dr. Wu said that there was no need for treatment for his sister, and he was just waiting for that moment to come.

However, he could not bear to give up, and he did not want to give up. When his mother was dying, she took his hand and asked him to take good care of his sister, but he was useless......

Seeing that her sister drank a few mouthfuls of fish soup without the intention of spitting, Gu Ming's heart rose with a little hope. He drank the rest of the fish soup in one go, and he couldn't cheap Liu's two cubs! He covered the broken quilt on his sister's body, and said softly: "Sister, sleep for a while, my brother will catch fish and make soup for you every day in the future." ”

Gu Ye nodded obediently. When Gu Ming went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, she couldn't hold back anymore, and all the fish soup she drank spit out. This body can't hold any food anymore.

Finally got the chance to be reborn, she didn't want to die as soon as she crossed and become the shortest-lived traverser, that was a big joke.

Space! She's a man with space! Thinking of the bottle of animal repellent powder on the mountain, Gu Ye's eyes burst with hope of birth.

A potion of warmth appeared in his hand. Exhausting the last bit of strength, Gu Ye finally put the potion in his mouth and swallowed it hard. At the moment before falling into a coma, she clearly felt a thin warm current, quietly flowing in the veins and organs of this weak body......

With Liu's ability to eat everything, he doesn't suffer losses, and the life of the brothers and sisters is even more jumpy. Gu Ye was weak and couldn't get out of bed, and all the housework fell on Liu.

When the woman thought about it, she rushed at the West House, knocking on the table and hitting the bowl, and the bitter curses were endless, Gu Ye plugged her ears with invisible earplugs, no matter how she shrewd and scolded the street, it would not affect her at all.

Liu's old trick was repeated when cooking, and one person could only get one piece of the palm-sized coarse grain cake, and Gu Qiao, as the head of the family, could only eat two pieces. In the morning, there was still no Gu Ye's share, and the one given to Gu Ming was also the smallest one.

Anyway, she has already torn her face, and Gu Ming will definitely no longer scruple about anything for her sister. During the meal, after my father had taken a piece of it, he quickly snatched two pieces of bread from the basket and brought his bowl of porridge to his sister's house to eat with her.

Seeing this, Liu immediately jumped up, crossed his waist and screamed, "Put it down!" That piece of bread belongs to your father, you unfilial thing, you even have to rob your father's rations. ”

Gu Ming stopped, stared at her with her eyes and said, "Isn't this cake my sister's?" It's obviously you who withheld Daddy's rations, what does it have to do with me, my sister's body can't be a little hungry now. After speaking, no matter how Liu jumped to his feet and scolded, he entered the house by himself.

Liu scolded while reaching out to pull him, at this time Gu Qiao stopped Liu's endless scolding: "You don't think it's enough to be embarrassed, if the ninth brother next door hears it and spreads it to the village, it should be said that we abuse the children." How much can she eat as a little girl? In the future, add an extra scoop of water and an extra handful of food to cook, as long as you don't starve people to death. ”

Gu Qiao was also angry in his heart, for this little in the family, he was pulled by the patriarch and several clan elders to give a lecture, and his face was thrown to his grandmother's house. Gu Ming, this uneasy thing, just secretly find people back, and the whole Qingshan Village knows about it, so that when he goes out now, he feels that everyone looks at him with strange eyes, and the people in the village don't know how to pay attention to their family behind their backs.

Liu sat down panting, snatched a piece of the cake in Da Zhuang's hand, and put it in front of his man along with a piece of his own cake. Although she doesn't want to see the two little cubs in the front room, she is not stupid, and she is heart-wrenching to her man. The man is his own, and the family has more than a dozen acres of mountainous land, but they all count on him as a laborer, and no one can lose his body.

"Who am I doing this for? You don't belong to your family, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, and the mountains of our village produce not much grain after paying rent, where is there enough to eat? Da Zhuang and I went up the mountain to pick mountain goods, and we were tired and tired of selling some money and exchanged it for food, which was still tight. The big and the young are growing up day by day, and they are eating more and more, how can they live this day if they are not careful?

said that I was harsh and ate all the rations of the children in the front room into my stomach, but I was wronged to death! Look at me, I work day and night, what do I eat? It's been almost four years since I married into your family, and I haven't even been willing to add a new dress! She is a small child who doesn't do heavy work, what's wrong with a bite less? As he spoke, Liu lifted his shirt and wiped his eyes.

Gu Qiao ate a bite of porridge and a bite of cake, and comforted Liu casually: "Well, you're right, I've suffered you all these years...... But our family is really not bad, and when the autumn grain is harvested, I will go up the mountain to pick up mountain goods and sell more money to sell grain...... That's it, stop smearing my face again, do you hear me? ”

Gu Qiao is a person who is selfish and good-looking. Liu knew that if she made something more at this time, there would definitely be no good fruit to eat. Gu Qiao looked at Wen Tun on weekdays and started a fire, she was frightened from the bottom of her heart, so she could only grit her teeth and pinch her nose in response. Those two stinky cubs, there will be a chance to clean them up in the future!

Xiao Zhuang really didn't want to eat dry cakes, seeing that his mother was in a bad mood, he hurriedly stuffed the coarse grain cake with a few tooth marks into his mother's mouth, his little eyes turned, and he said in a milky voice: "Mother, eat." ”

"Or my son knows it hurts me. It's not the meat that falls from your own body, sooner or later you will develop a white-eyed wolf! Liu raised his voice, shouted again in the direction of the West House, and then lovingly touched his little son's fleshy little face, kissed him, and whispered, "Mother didn't hurt you in vain, and my mother will make you pimple soup to eat later." ”

Xiao Zhuang also lowered his voice, bargaining in a low voice: "Add Dandan......"

"You little glutton! Okay, I'll add another egg to you. Liu pinched his son's little face, drank the paste in his bowl, and went into the kitchen again. The little strong man has a small belly, and the remaining pimple soup will eventually fall into the big strong stomach. However, there are not many times when the family opens a small stove for Xiao Zhuang, and he can only occasionally make tooth sacrifices. Hey, there's no way, it's all poor.

These disturbances outside did not affect the two brothers and sisters in the house at all, Gu Ming knew that her sister had a weak stomach and could not eat hard cakes. I broke it into the size of a fingernail, soaked it in the paste and fed it to my sister.

Gu Ye looked at the black and messy food, although she was hungry and uncomfortable, it couldn't arouse her appetite at all. In her brother's expectant gaze, she reluctantly took a bite. Vomit! Compared to the nutrient solution I received when I went out on a mission in my previous life, it was just as unpalatable. She took a few bites, but she couldn't eat anymore.

The original owner's spleen and stomach were still a little delicate after a night of potions, but a small amount of food could still withstand it. Gu Ming fed her sister some warm boiled water: "I'll go up the mountain to chop firewood to see if I can catch some more fish, the doctor said that fish soup replenishes the body." ”

Speaking of this, he sighed deeply and continued: "The doctor also said that chicken soup is the most replenishing, but it's a pity that my brother is incompetent and can't hunt prey every day like Zhang Lihu in the village. ”

"Brother, you're already very powerful. If it weren't for you, I would have been chewed to the bones of the wild animals in the mountains. "For an 11-year-old child, Gu Ming has done a good job.

However, remembering that when he woke up and saw the blue eyes of the wolves, Gu Ye couldn't help but dissuade him, "Brother, there are many wolves on the mountain, you don't want to enter the mountain alone in the future." I only have you as a good brother who loves me, and I don't want anything to happen to you. ”

"Okay, I'll be around our village from now on, and I won't let you worry. I'm going to chop wood, if you don't want to sleep, I'll let Sister Li of Aunt Jiu's next door come and talk to you. Gu Ming was afraid that she was not there, and her honest sister was bullied by Liu's mother and son.

In the memory of the original owner, Sister Li was one year older than the brothers and sisters, and she was gentle and gentle and very good at taking care of people. The original owner had a special sense of dependence on Sister Li, but Gu Ye wanted to go into the space to have a look, so he rejected his brother's proposal on the grounds that he was not in good spirits and wanted to rest.

Gu Ming left uneasily. The cheap father and stepmother went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, and the half-grown son was also pulled into a strong man. Liu was not worried that Xiaozhuang was at home alone, and he also carried the person up the mountain with a basket.

The courtyard was quiet, Gu Ye's mind turned into the space, the space was still that space, more than ten acres of fertile black soil were planted with the seeds of medicinal herbs she had collected for many years in her previous life, and hundreds of medicinal herbs were growing well, many of which were treasures.

Dozens or hundreds of years of medicinal herbs are extremely ordinary in space. Ginseng that is hundreds or even hundreds of years old is not uncommon. The growth cycle of Chinese medicinal materials in the space is shorter than that outside, and she experiments with new medicines, and has never lacked raw materials.

After inspecting the medicine field, Gu Ye came to her pharmacy laboratory in a good mood, a simple and elegant wooden building. The boxes filled with various potions inside gave Gu Ye an incomparable sense of security. As if she were caressing her own child, her fingers slid over the bottles of potions of different colors, and she fell into the memory.

Out of the lab, she glanced at a mountain of "garbage" piled up in a clearing. Those were the materials she collected at the beginning of the troubled times in her previous life, and I don't know if there are any that can be used. She has to tidy up.

Suddenly, she smelled a faint fragrance of lotus in her nose. Following the scent, she came to the small pond in the middle of the space, and was surprised to find that there was a half-open red lotus inside. Leafless and rootless, like a fairy who has left an independent world, standing proudly in the shallow blue pond, fiery red as a flame. On a lotus petal, a dew drop as clear as jade shone brightly.

"Huh? When were the lotus flowers planted here? But it's okay, at least there will be lotus seeds and lotus roots to eat in the future. Gu Ye muttered to herself.

In her coveted gaze, the red lotus-like petals shook slightly, as if she was afraid and disdainful. Gu Ye rubbed her eyes, she actually felt people's emotions from a red lotus, she was dazzled!

In the future, I will study the origin of this lotus flower, and go out first, so as not to worry about my brother when he comes back halfway and finds that she is not there.
