Chapter 0005 Hunger and Cold
That night, Li Moyi was lying on the bed watching the new version of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", and felt that his body was getting colder and colder.
It's a bit of an anomaly, the sun is still shining during the day, and the temperature is quite high.
"Squeak!"
His window was suddenly blown open by a gust of wind. The dream came back to him in his mind, and the picture became clearer and clearer.
"What the hell is going on?" Li Mo frowned, ignored the open window, and touched the strange pit on his neck, "Why are troubles coming at me one after another?" ”
Li Mo turned his head to look at the ancient books on the bedside table.
Since the last "Chatting Dream", he has brought the ancient books from the living room here.
Li Moyi opened the ancient book full of doubts.
Peng!
There was a slamming door.
What is the woman doing when she goes out at this point? Li Mo felt very strange, but before he could think about anything,
A familiar whirlwind swept in. Li Mo lost consciousness for a moment.
Whew!
Swish!
……
……
……
"Childe! Son! ”
Li Moyi seemed to hear a soft female voice.
It's like a cycle that you can't get out of.
After winter, the weather gets colder and colder.
Yejia, Pinggu County.
In the early morning, the small courtyard was filled with the smell of decoction.
A little girl in thin clothes squatted in the kitchen, carefully tending to the medicine stove, next to a scrawny white dog.
The girl's name is Ren Yue'er. Her hometown is in Huangzhou.
Yue'er bought it from a refugee couple 10 years ago, when his parents were still alive.
It is said that when I bought it, I thought it was a boy, and I had been calling the housekeeper, but as a result, I grew bigger and bigger, and the little jade rabbit in Yue'er's arms finally couldn't be contained, and was recognized by Master Ye two years ago.
However, his parents were no longer there at that time. Master Ye no longer cared about it, and asked Yue'er to be a girl again.
Yue'er has been kind and well-behaved since she was a child. Many sons in the county looked at her with squinting eyes.
Half a day ago, a snowstorm swept through Pinggu County. Yue'er rescued a son in the snow, in order to treat him, Yue'er became her only jewelry, specially invited the county doctor, tried nearly seven or eight methods, but the condition did not improve.
Yue'er didn't know how many times she cried because of this.
"Bai Xiaoxiao, the doctor said that he would be fine after eating these three medicines, isn't it Bai Xiaoxiao?"
Yue'er was boiling the medicinal soup while wiping her tears, and the white dog curled up in the hay and watched quietly.
Suddenly it sniffed, stood up and looked out the door.
"Is there anything to eat?" A trembling figure entered, blocking out the light.
I saw that the person who came was dressed in a coarse cotton robe, his hair was scattered, his face was scumbag, and he was hungry and thin. But a pair of big eyes are bright, not like yesterday when they were asleep.
Bai Xiaoxiao barked at him, and the dog's eyes were full of human-like wonder and joy.
"Tell Hanako to go to another house, we..."
Yue'er looked back, and when she saw the person behind her, she burst into tears with joy, and hurriedly put down the medicine bowl and ran over to ward off the cold and warmth, Bai Xiaoxiao wagged her tail and screamed happily.
Facing the enthusiasm of the little girl and the big white dog, Li Moyi's body was really unable to cope, and he only had hunger and cold in his heart. He shivered and leaned against the fire to keep warm. After a while, he will have to freeze to death and starve to death!
Li Moyi never thought that the first thing he did when he crossed over was to starve for others. It's strange to be starving for so many days to dress well and eat well!
"Childe, drink this bowl of medicine first. I'll cook for you. "Yue'er brought the medicine.
"No, I don't drink anything. It tastes terrible. "The medicine was close to Li Moyi, and he wanted to vomit as soon as he smelled it." I want to eat now. Are there any meals? ”
"Alright! Childe and so on. Yue'er ran to the rice bowl and served him a bowl of porridge.
When the spicy porridge was brought to him, Li Mo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no emperor or famous man was as good as the bowl of porridge in front of him.
"Why don't you eat it?"
"Childe eats first, and after eating, there is still more in the pot." Yue'er handed it over carefully.
"Really?" Li Mo walked to the stove together, opened the lid, and closed the lid. Then he walked over to the rice bowl and opened and closed it. He took two pairs of chopsticks and divided a bowl of hot porridge into three portions.
"White dog, let's eat."
The white dog looked at him and lowered his head.
Li Mo put down the porridge bowl with a smile and asked Yue'er. "You...... What's your name?"
"Yue'er."
"Ren Yue'er?" Li Moyi looked at her shy appearance and asked.
Yue'er nodded slightly.
After a while, Li Mo came back to his senses.
"This place is the Ye family in Pinggu County, and there is also the fox demon in the lake......" Li Mo realized that he had said too much, and hurriedly stopped his mouth.
"Fox ...... Childe bumped into the fox fairy!! Yue'er Rhubarb's eyes were shining when she heard this, and she was out of the sky.
"No, it's not, I said fox...... I suddenly wanted to go to the lake. ”
These are not all the characters in "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", "Yue'er Turns into a Butterfly", "Fox Demon Ascension to Immortals", Li Mo thought of the stories in Liaozhai.
Suddenly, there was a "bang" on the door outside the house, and it sounded like it was coming to collect the bills.
"That sounds like a bad intention. Do you owe anyone money, Yue'er?"
Li Mo handed the small stove to Yue'er, who was shivering with cold. Yue'er shook her head. "Yue'er has never borrowed money from anyone."
"That's strange, since you don't owe money, you dare to knock on the door of a scholar like this?" Li Mo looked at the door and thought.
In this era, the status of scholars and doctors is very high, and even scholars can see that the county officials do not kneel and are innocent.
Like knocking on the door like outside, it is completely possible to accuse him of disturbing people's livelihood and entering the hall first to hit 20 boards.
"Childe." Yue'er thought about it, and her face changed. "I remember! Half a day ago, I went to the pharmacy to dispense medicine. Liu's father of the Liu family saw me and insisted on lending me some money. I didn't borrow it, so he asked Lang Zhong to prepare the medicine and send it over......"
"Liu Mansion?" Li Moyi had an impression of this person.
In the story of "Yue'er Turns into a Butterfly", it is this guy who has a lustful heart for Yue'er, causing Yue'er to turn into a butterfly by herself. At this time, he brought medicine himself, like a weasel greeting a chick.
"His goal is Yue'er."
lent money to Yue'er first, and was looking for an excuse to slam the door to collect the debt, so as to break into the Ye family and kidnap Yue'er.
"This guy is a bit of a beast." Li Mo gritted his teeth secretly. He was already grateful for saving his Yue'er, but he was worried that he had no chance to repay him, so this guy was sent to the door.
"Yue'er, it's cold outside. You and the white dog go to your room first. Don't come out or speak without my orders. ”
As he spoke, Li Mo raised the corners of his mouth, leisurely came to the gate of the courtyard, and gently opened the door bolt.
Outside the door, Liu's father and Liu San shouted and barked for a long time, but there was no response in the yard, and there was no dog barking. Only the whining cold wind blows...... The door couplet at the door, "Zhishan Sun and Moon", was blown away by the wind......
Both were stunned.
"Dad, there won't be any ghosts here, right?"
"What are you afraid of? Men have to be bold, son, go in and have a look!" Liu's father dragged his son Liu San and pushed forward.
Liu San staggered two steps, glanced towards the half-open courtyard, saw the unusual silence inside, and thought of when Liu's father was talking to him, he only felt the gloomy wind blowing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. The bones of the whole body are cold.
Indeed, as Li Mo expected, Liu's father borrowed money from Yue'er and helped him dispense medicine, which was completely Yue'er's idea.
Half a year ago, Liu San noticed Yue'er. Colored hearts.
Yesterday, he had an affair with the widow Su Shi, and when he heard that Yue'er had saved a seriously ill son, he went to the pharmacy to inquire about the truth. He's secretly trying to lend out the money.
When Yue'er couldn't afford to pay back the money, she could only use her body to pay off her debts, get her home and have fun for a few days, and then sell her to a brothel to do another business.
Bang!
A gust of wind blew, and the half-open door suddenly shook, so frightened that Liu San immediately collapsed to the ground, and Liu's father also shivered and almost urinated.
Liu San tightened his hands and mustered up the courage to go to Yue'er, "Little lady Yue'er, your husband is here to pick you up." ”
Liu San walked before, but did not look back, when Liu's father followed behind Li San, Liu San suddenly saw Li Moyi under the peach tree on the left side of the door.
When he looked at Li Moyi, Li Moyi's face was pale, his eyes were empty, and there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.
Both of them were frightened, and they cried, and they collapsed to the ground, and they got up and ran out again, and the ground was frozen, and they didn't take three steps, and they fell together on the threshold.
Then there was another cold wind, and the father and son felt creepy, and their whole bodies were weak. Hurriedly fled.
Li Moyi took advantage of the wind to slide through space and walked back.
Entering the wing, Yue'er hid in the crack of the door and covered her mouth and smiled, she had a new understanding of the wisdom of this son, and her small and big yellow eyes flashed with a strange light, thinking about something.
