Chapter 121: The Most Familiar Stranger
I heard from the guards of Wang Xuexuan that this medical girl went to Hanoi County to get medicine for Jing Gongzi, and it will take several days to come back.
Then he had to wait for her to come back and continue to inquire about the origin of the poison.
"Winter, it's coming......"
A crisp voice broke his thoughts.
Sounds familiar.
Sima Yu was surprised.
Just now he saw three children enter the inn, the figure was a bit like the one he saw in the mountains that day, but he didn't expect that she was a woman disguised as a man.
Why do you always meet her......
Thinking of her wild sleeping posture in the mountains that day, Sima Yu couldn't help but complain: "Yes, the weather is cold, and you can't kick the quilt anymore when you sleep." ”
The voice did not fall.
There was a "snap" and the window shut.
There was a stumble of footsteps in the room below, as if something had been moved to block the windows.
Oh, dead girl......
Sima Yu lay down on the roof tiles and closed his eyes.
Why is this late autumn wind so noisy......
……
Qingyu Village.
In the courtyard of the Tang family, the family's dirty clothes were piled up by the wooden basin, and the sound of water was rattling.
"Bang Bang Bang-"
Song Ming used a clothes pounding stick to beat her clothes from time to time, and she was full of resentment.
Just because she hid the bride price money, her good days of not touching the spring water with her fingers are gone, and she was sent by Mrs. Tang to do this and that during the day, she has no time to wash clothes, and she only has to wash it late at night.
That Shen Qiuyue's hands were frostbitten, and she couldn't find a reason to refuse. Even if she wanted to refuse, there was no one in the family to help her speak.
Especially Tang Yungui, a dog man, at first, as long as he helped her talk, Mrs. Tang would scold him together.
The past two days have been good, he was bored and eating when he was eating, and he really didn't say anything to help her.
Every time he ate, Tang Yungui ate the fastest, and after eating, he ran away, saying that he was going to the village to build a house to earn money. I can't see the money I earn, but I eat the most, and I don't know how to leave some for her......
All that's left is a few mouthfuls of millet and mush, bitter wild vegetables, how can she eat them?
She usually secretly eats the food hidden in the house, so that she fills her stomach. But now, all the things in her house were looted by Mrs. Tang, and even one day when she slept well in the middle of the night, Mrs. Tang also rushed in and checked it, making the entire Tang family restless.
Originally, Mrs. Tang was going to take care of the crazy Zhang Qiufen and stop her from running around, but she was probably tired in the past two days and locked her in the house. Feeding and drowning are all left to Song Ming to do.
Fortunately, Tang Yushun took his foolish brother to the school, and Song Ming probably didn't even have time to sleep at night.
Tidy up the vegetable patch, sweep the yard, dry the grain, cook, female red, wash clothes...... As long as Mrs. Donald can move, she is the one who does it.
If it weren't for her saying that she was not good at weaving hemp, Shen Qiuyue would have practiced to make perfect, and Mrs. Tang even asked her not to sleep and use a waist machine to weave hemp in the middle of the night.
But after Shen Qiuyue pushed all these jobs to Song Ming, she and Xiaojing had a lot of free time, made more hemp, and sold a few more strings of copper coins. Mrs. Tang was very satisfied with her, so she treated Song Ming even worse.
It's really not going well......
"Ouch......"
By the time she had washed all the dirty clothes, she was so tired that she couldn't straighten up.
"Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work." Shen Qiuyue came to the courtyard with a piece of linen cloth and put it in her wooden basin.
Song Ming was angry, raised her voice, and asked, "What's this?!" ”
"It's freshly woven linen, and it has to be washed and sold. Those traveling merchants like to collect our cloth, and sometimes they will give more copper coins. Shen Qiuyue saw that she didn't work much on weekdays, so she patiently explained.
Song Ming complained, "I don't want to hear this!" She was angry and grabbed Shen Qiuyue's clothes, "Are you stupid?" You don't wash, can she know? Won't you be lazy?! ”
Shen Qiuyue was puzzled, shook her head and asked, "Those traveling merchants who have been collecting linen cloth for many years can touch it...... And I am the money I earn for the public...... If you have more money in your family, you will be able to eat enough. Isn't the champion still preparing to give a congratulatory gift? Xiaojing categorically can't get married, so we have to earn a little more to subsidize the children. ”
When she spoke, she put her hand on Song Ming's body and tried her best to persuade her, her eyes full of kindness.
Song Ming can be angry to death.
She wanted to roar at her, asking her what congratulatory gifts she could buy for the champion if she earned so many more copper plates?
But to say that these are also to play the piano to the cow.
Ignorant village woman, where can she have more vision than her, who married from another state?
She returned to the tub and reluctantly washed the sackcloth.
……
Lights were lit in the hut next to the broken house.
The crazy lady came back from the tunnel, habitually picked up the lamp, and looked around the house and the yard.
Nothing has been moved, no one has come.
Just then, she smelled a fishy smell coming from her neighbor's yard.
She frowned and walked out of the yard to the door of the three little boys.
The yard was littered with wolf heads and offal, and several washed but still fishy furs hung from the twine. Birds and weasels were eating the offal, and they were disturbed by the light of the mad lady, and they fled in all directions, and the chickens in the chicken pen cooed.
That's really ......
Crazy Lady found it unbelievable.
Is there any common sense in these three?! The north of the village is close to the mountain, and such a big fishy smell can easily lead the beast down the mountain, and the whole village may be bitten to death when the time comes!
And this wolf's head and internal organs are piled up in a mountain and left to dry for a day, can they still be used when they come back?
The crazy lady sighed helplessly at the full moon, went back to the house and took out her sharp sword, stepped into the yard, and began to deal with the wolf's head.
Cut the wolf's head open, pulled out the wolf's fangs and skulls and threw them into a wooden basin to soak, and she really couldn't think of any use for the rest of the brains and eyes.
Halfway through the processing, the crazy lady seemed to have discovered something, and looked carefully at the broken mouth of the wolf's head.
This sharp knife, skilled knife skills, plus one person can face the wolves......
Surely someone found her?
The crazy aunt was in her heart, and she didn't have the heart to clean up these little ones anymore, so she hurriedly sealed the miscellaneous pieces in the crockpot and sank them into the well. After washing away the smell of blood in the yard with water, he hurried back to the house.
……
The next morning.
Tang and Rou have to find a carpenter to order a roulette wheel today, but there is no need for the young lady and Dou'er to follow her.
She told them to stay in the house and have a good rest.
The two children had never seen such a luxurious place, and no matter how lively the street was, they were reluctant to take half a step out of the house.
The young lady pointed to the bathtub and clenched her little fists: "I want to soak in this tub today until noon!" ”
Tang and Rou: "...... The water can't be too hot, or you'll faint in the bucket. It won't take so long, don't catch a cold. ”
Lady: "Got it! ”
Tang and Rou came to the outer room and asked their younger brother, "Where are Dou'er?" What are you doing in the house? ”
Dou'er's expression was serious: "I want to lie in the outer room, look at the beams, and smell the incense burner!" ”
Tang and Rou: "...... Okay. ”
