Chapter 9: Foraging
Lu Weiman was fed two decoctions by Yuan'er in a coma, and finally woke up in the afternoon of the second day.
Looking at the light blue curtain above his head, Lu Wei was in a trance for a moment, not knowing what night it was, not knowing where he was. After slowly waking up, I only felt bitterness in my mouth and an empty stomach. A round melon face suddenly flashed in his mind, and he subconsciously wanted to open his mouth and call "Yuan'er".
I don't know if it's because I don't have the strength or what, but I opened my mouth but didn't make a sound.
Lu Weiman turned his head to look out of the bed, but he didn't find Yuan'er, but saw a girl who was also dressed as a maidservant girl sitting at the table with her eyes closed and napping, with a pointed chin and a nose, and her thin skin and tender flesh looked much more beautiful than Yuan'er.
After all, after being nurtured by the idea of character for twenty-one years, Lu Weiman subconsciously did not have the habit of treating people as people, and people may be tired like this because of taking care of her who was sick. In the good style of not disturbing people's dreams, she lightly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, walked to the table and quietly poured a glass of water and drank it.
A glass of water belly, the bitterness in the mouth was lighter, and the hunger in the stomach was more obvious, Lu Weiman looked around to see that he didn't see anything to eat, so he opened the door lightly and walked out, and he was kindly afraid that the maid would blow the wind and get cold, so he took the door with him.
I don't know if she moved lightly, or if she hadn't eaten for a few days, her limbs were weak and weak, and the maid tilted her head and didn't notice any movement.
Lu Weiman walked out of the door and walked a few steps and gradually slowed down, thinking about whether to find Yuan'er first or find food first, and then thought about it, Yuan'er was just the maid who took care of her before, maybe it has been changed now, and the one in the house may be newly replaced.
But the new girl fell asleep tired, and she was really embarrassed to disturb people again, so why not just find something to eat, and find the kitchen.
The Wei family's house is amazing, Lu Weiman only walked once, or the time when Yuan'er led her to find the housekeeper, this will walk alone, and she will be dizzy while walking, but she didn't meet anyone along the way.
Looking at the crutching corridor in front of her, she wanted to scream, "Is there anyone?", but she couldn't make a sound as if something was blocked in her throat.
After passing through a cloister, a winding stone path appeared in front of me, and at the end of the road was a lotus pond with an elegant and unique pavilion beside it.
Lu Wei's eyes stared straight at the pavilion, and his feet involuntarily walked onto the gravel road.
She was certainly not attracted by the beautiful scenery, but that there seemed to be something edible on the stone table in the pavilion.
Walking quickly to the pavilion, there were fruit pastries on the stone table, and the enticing colors of the fruits and pastries could be seen through a layer of gauze.
Lu Weiman swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and shot around, but no one saw it, and no one could tell her that these things were placed here to entertain guests, or if they were placed here for the masters of the mansion to enjoy when they visited the garden.
It is also covered with a layer of gauze to prevent dust and insects, so I think it should be prepared for people visiting the park.
After such a subjective determination, Lu Weiman sat down calmly, carefully lifted the gauze, and tried to convince himself: Anyway, it is for people to eat, and whoever eats it is not eaten.
She was so hungry that she didn't care about tasting it carefully, she stuffed fruit and pastries into her mouth, and poured herself a glass of water when she was a little choked.
There was a feeling of fullness in his abdomen, and the movements in his hands slowed down, Lu Weiman took a sip of sweet fruit water, rubbed his slightly convex belly, and burped with satisfaction.
Just as he was thinking about what to do next, there was a sudden sound of footsteps from far and near behind him, and just as he was about to turn back, a voice came.
"Peony?"
