Chapter 301: Insulted
Tang Chuyao asked the old man for a basin cloth, carefully helped Chu Tianchen wipe his whole body, and continued to cool him down.
After Chu Tianchen woke up and killed Liu Cha Envoy before, his fever was even more serious than before.
I'm afraid that his temperature can't go down, and his life will be in danger.
Tang Chuyao was in a hurry, stayed up for most of the night, kept taking care of Chu Tianchen all the time, and wiped his hot body from time to time.
After most of the day, Tang Chuyao saw that Chu Tianchen's body temperature had finally stabilized, and he got up and wanted to rest for a while, but Chu Tianchen firmly held his hand.
Seeing that his mouth was slightly closed, Tang Chuyao bent down curiously to listen.
"Don't go...... I was wrong, I'm never going to do those things again. ”
Chu Tianchen unconsciously repeated the same nonsense, and the rest of the content sounded unclear, but he could feel the bad mood from his low tone.
I guess it's a nightmare?
Tang Chuyao was at a loss, so he could only hold his hand, pat it comfortingly, and reached out to rub his frowning brows, coaxing him in a low voice.
"Okay, I'm not leaving, just wait here for you to wake up, you can sleep in peace."
Chu Tianchen, who was suppressed by the nightmare, seemed to have listened to this sentence, and the uneasiness was not as serious as before.
Tang Chuyao sat on the edge of the bed, supported her chin with her palm, closed her eyes and barely rested.
At dawn, Chu Tianchen's high fever subsided, and when he opened his eyes, what he saw was Tang Chuyao, who had taken care of him all night.
His heart was sour and sweet, not only feeling sorry for Tang Chuyao's sin to take care of himself, but also moving for what she had done.
"Chu Tianchen? You're awake, that's great. ”
Tang Chuyao was under Chu Tianchen's gaze, her eyelashes trembled slightly, she woke up from her shallow sleep, held his hand and asked quickly.
"How do you feel? Is there anything else you feel uncomfortable about? ”
Chu Tianchen didn't speak, but hugged Tang Chuyao into his arms, leaned into her ear and sighed softly.
"Thank you yesterday, I bothered you so much time, and I didn't even sleep."
Tang Chuyao didn't think there was anything, pinched Chu Tianchen's cheek and said with a smile.
"If you're in the same situation, I don't believe you're doing any worse than me."
The old wooden door was knocked a few times, and the old man entered the house with a cane, and when he saw the scene of the two hugging each other, he remembered the atmosphere of getting along with his wife when he was young, and smiled from the bottom of his heart.
"The relationship between the two is really good, do you want to eat something? Although I only have ordinary gruel here, I can't afford expensive things. ”
Tang Chuyao automatically ignored the first half of what the old man said, stood up straight, and thought in his heart.
Now that Chu Tianchen is weak, he should eat something to replenish, if he just drinks gruel, I am afraid he will not be able to keep up with the nutrition.
She said to the old man.
"Thanks to you for taking in the two of us yesterday, otherwise I don't know if he can carry it down in a high fever, I'll go out hunting, and I'll cook this meal."
Chu Tianchen didn't agree with Tang Chuyao's approach, but it was inconvenient to say too much in front of the old man, so he just coughed lightly and pulled the corners of her clothes.
Tang Chuyao saw his concern and bent down to explain in his ear.
"We killed people last night, I guess they don't dare to show up today, and they just can't beat them, won't I run?"
At Tang Chuyao's insistence, Chu Tianchen finally compromised.
"Okay, you stay safe."
Tang Chuyao, accompanied by the old man, went to a nearby lake, simply made a harpoon out of wood, and after trying two or three times to accumulate experience, he forked three or four big fish in a row.
Her skillful appearance shocked the old man, and he really couldn't imagine that this was a person with no experience at all.
The fish slammed into the object she had made, as if it were trying to die.
"You work harder, old man, I'll go to the field and pull some vegetables, and make a good meal today."
The old man saw that Tang Chuyao didn't need him here, so he left with confidence.
Seeing the old man's back disappearing from sight, Tang Chuyao took out a few hidden weapons from his sleeve, moved a few steps in place with a very soft voice, and found a good vision.
From her position, she could see a few fat hares gnawing on the grass not far away, their ears swaying smartly, and their eyes to see if it was safe to look around.
Tang Chuyao smiled, squinted his eyes and threw the hidden weapon out.
The sharp weapon pierced the rabbit's head, and luckily hunted two.
Tang Chuyao lifted the rabbit and estimated that there were a few catties of meat on it, and he was very satisfied.
If only a few more people could eat, they would all be able to eat.
"Big harvest, I can do such a good job today."
Tang Chuyao went back to the old man's house by himself, first reported to Chu Tianchen that he was safe, and then plunged into the kitchen, lit a fire and started cooking.
Add green onions, ginger and garlic to stir-fry in the hot oil to bring out the fragrance, put the fish slices in the pot, and cook pumpkin and barley porridge in the pot at the same time.
The enticing aroma spreads from the kitchen to all corners, and it can easily arouse the cravings in the stomach.
There are even residents of the village who come here to find out what the old man's house is doing, so that the incense can be smelled in most of the village.
The old man smiled, looked at the closed kitchen door, and didn't tell Tang Chuyao about the ups and downs of their coming, and said a few vague words.
"It's a little girl who came to spend the night, and she wants to cook, and I'm still worried that she can't do it well, but now it's different.
"Smell this fragrance and know that my old man has a good mouth today."
Tang Chuyao finished the dishes in a very short time, and the fragrant spiced hare meat, spicy chopped pepper fish, and pumpkin barley porridge were served to the table one after another.
The delicate shape and presentation will whet your appetite.
"Chopped pepper fish is made especially for you, it has an appetizing effect, and it is most suitable for old people like you to eat."
Tang Chuyao put the chopped pepper fish in front of the old man's eyes and introduced him with a smile.
Chu Tianchen's high fever had just subsided, and he couldn't eat too greasy and heavy-tasting food.
The old man sandwiched a piece of spicy chopped pepper fish for face, and the fish melted in his mouth, almost killing his tongue.
He stared at the dish with glowing eyes, and admired Tang Chuyao with surprise on his face.
"Your cooking skills are so good, the old man has never eaten such a delicious thing in his life, and I feel that my life is worth living."
Tang Chuyao was in a good mood when he was praised, bent his eyes, and helped him fill a bowl of porridge: "Grandpa likes it, I burned too much today, you can eat more." ”
The three of them had a lively meal, and the old man's stomach couldn't eat too much, and then he touched his stomach and looked at the food on the table, still unsatisfied, and couldn't wait to accept Tang Chuyao, who had an appetite for himself, as his own granddaughter, and then contact him a lot.
"If I make up these dishes again, I can eat them again in the evening, and it will be difficult to eat such delicious things next time."
Tang Chuyao was amused by what he said, and after thinking about it, he made a promise.
"If I have nothing to do with him, I will come back here to see your old man, and continue to make you something to eat when the time comes."
The old man listened to Tang Chuyao's words, his eyebrows were overjoyed, and he clapped his hands again and again: "It's settled, I'm alone, I don't have anyone to worry about here, if I can have you, the rest of my life will definitely be very interesting." ”
"Let's not bother much, there are still things to deal with at home, so let's leave first."
Chu Tianchen saw that the two of them had finished communicating, and reminded him lightly.
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, in case Liu Messenger's subordinates are brainless, maybe they will chase them here after they have eased up, and continue to stay is a drag on the villagers.
Tang Chuyao also knew this truth, said a few words of goodbye to the old man, and helped Chu Tianchen to leave in the distance.
Their horses and carriages were nowhere to be found, so they had to go to town to buy new ones.
When he arrived at the place, Tang Chuyao was just about to pick up the horse, but the boss directly threw a whip over, and if it wasn't for Tang Chuyao's timely withdrawal, I was afraid that he would be marked with a blood mark.
Chu Tianchen frowned and turned his head to look: "What are you doing with it?" If you don't do business, you won't do business, let's just change it. ”
The boss looked at the two of them with disdain, embarrassed, unable to see the background clothes, and looked like a poor bastard with no money.
"Don't talk to me, do you have the money to buy horses? Even the beggars in the streets are better looking than you, but don't stain my horse. ”
When the rich sons who were choosing horses next to them heard the boss's words, they suddenly became interested in joining in the fun, looked Chu Tianchen and Tang Chuyao up and down a few times, deliberately pinched their noses, and fanned the wind with their palms, yin and yang strange qi.
"Where did you call Hanako? What does this body smell like? Even the slaves in my son's house are cleaner than you. ”
The boss lost the arrogance of Fang Cai, and nodded at him: "Ma Gongzi is really sorry, let you see this kind of person in my store, I will drive them out." ”
Another person noticed Tang Chuyao's extraordinary appearance, and instantly became interested, stopped the boss's movements, picked up the fan and wanted to pick Tang Chuyao's chin, but was quite angry after being dodged.
"What are you hiding? Young Master Ben has taken a fancy to you called Hanako, which is your blessing. ”
Ma Gongzi was also interested, and Ying He said: "It is better to have this face to go to the green volleyball to be listed than to call a flower on the street." ”
He thought for a moment and suddenly laughed maliciously: "Aren't you interested in horses?" Why don't you let me play for one night, and you can pick any horse here. ”
Tang Chuyao turned a deaf ear to their insulting words, took out the silver from his sleeve, and shook it a few times in front of the boss's eyes.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm really rich, if you don't sell it, I'll find someone else."
The boss was sure that Tang Chuyao took out real silver, and his eyes suddenly widened in shock, and he hesitated for a while.
Tang Chuyao didn't want to continue to stay with the people of Ji Yingren here, and seeing that he didn't speak, he helped Chu Tianchen and walked outside, but was stopped by Ma Gongzi's people.
The boss got Ma Gongzi's hint and pointed at Tang Chuyao to reprimand.
"You little girl still hasn't studied well, and she is openly stealing things on the street, see if I don't send you to the government!"
It does make him feel distressed that he doesn't earn money, but compared to catching up with Ma Gongzi, those are insignificant things.
