Chapter 18: A Bedtime Story

Early the next morning, Ling Mo opened her eyes and blinked.

"Ahem, morning, haha." Ling Mo silently put it into his hand.

"Well, early." Xiao Zheng said without a smile.

Ling Mo yawned, brushed her teeth and washed up, okay, after brushing her teeth and washing, she still has to wait for others here to brush her teeth and wash.

After washing, I started cooking, made brown rice for breakfast, made braised pork ribs from the pork ribs I bought yesterday, bought some pork and made a small stir-fried pork.

"Eat, Xiao Zheng." There's no electricity to cook a meal, and it's really hard to rely on the fire.

Ling Mo put the food on the table, "Can you eat it yourself?" ”

"Hmm." Hearing. Xiao Zheng responded, and Ling Mo put the chopsticks in his hand.

"Take the medicine first." After eating, another wave of medicine.

"Drink the medicine." I boiled Chinese medicine early in the morning, not to mention that this Chinese medicine is a big taste.

"If it's okay, I'll have to fetch water." Ling Mo asked.

"Nope."

"Alright, then I'll go fetch water." Ling Mo picked up the jar and walked down the mountain, the river was still the same river, the river was still very clear, and as for the fish, he hadn't seen it yet.

After hitting a jar of water, Ling Mo walked back with the jar, the small strength of the person was insufficient, and he was sweating profusely after a while, holding the jar up and down like this, he felt that he was exercising again, and he felt that he might increase some physical strength if he came a few more times.

"Xiao Zheng, I'm back, oops, I'm tired." Ling Mo put the jar in the kitchen and sat on the chair, panting.

"I still have to do the laundry." Ling Mo picked up Xiao Zheng and his own clothes that he had changed out of yesterday, and the piece of Sister-in-law Xiang that he bought yesterday, picked up the basket and put the clothes and Sister-in-law Xiang in.

"Xiao Zheng, I'm going to the river to wash clothes, it's the river that saved you before, and I'll be back soon." Ling Mo said as she walked.

"Okay." Xiao Zheng responded lightly.

Ling Mo picked up the basket and quickly went down the winding path, and soon came to the river, found a stone slab by the river, and washed it with water.

Put the clothes soaked on them, rub them twice with the fragrant aunt, and start to scrub slowly, this fragrant aunt is not as foamy as the clothes.

Compared with modern soap, it is heaven and earth, and the decontamination effect is not very good.

Fortunately, Xiao Zheng's clothes are black, I can't tell if they are clean or not, and I can wash them to remove the blood and smell.

It's just that Ling Mo's clothes look a little, like falling into a dye vat, and they still can't be washed off after rubbing for a while, Ling Mo shook her head, forget it, just don't wash it.

Put the basket in the water and wash it, control the moisture, wring out the clothes and put them in the basket, and take the basket home.

It's easy to go down the mountain, but it's hard to go up the mountain, Ling Mo carried the basket and panted, and climbed up the mountain.

Back at the hut, Ling Mo shouted into the house: "Xiao Zheng, I'm back from washing clothes, and I'm drying clothes outside." ”

"Hmm." There was a loud noise in the room.

Ling Mo was afraid that Xiao Zheng would lie in bed all day long, bored and suffocated, and every time he came back, he would speak first.

Hang your clothes on a branch and tie them so that they don't get blown away by the wind.

put the basket at the door to dry it, and when he entered the house, he got a glass of water, and he also gave Xiao Zheng a glass of water.

"Xiao Zheng, give you water, rest assured that we are not the same cup." Ling Mo's daily necessities are all bought one by one, they are all different, even if they are the same, she is different, and she is not worried about confusion at all.

After drinking the water, Ling Mo rested for a while before remembering.

"I have to go up the mountain to collect firewood, my God, how long will this life last?" Ling Mo sighed, "Xiao Zheng, I'm going up the mountain." ”

Regardless of Xiao Zheng, he hurriedly ran up the mountain, "Do you really have to run around for life all day long in this ancient world, this is not my style." ”

Ling Mo muttered as she checked, am I going to live this life in ancient times?

So what difference does it make if I don't come to ancient times?

Ling Mo picked up some firewood, saw that there were mushrooms on the ground, and picked some wild fruits.

Ling Mo picked up some firewood, picked some mushrooms, and wild fruits, and took them home.

"Xiao Zheng, I'm back." Ling Mo came back again, alas, it's so boring, what should I do?

Ling Mo sat on the chair, thinking with her cheeks back.

Or go down the mountain to find Aunt Wang, order vegetable seeds, plant some vegetables and add some green vegetables to eat, and see that there is still a place outside this thatched house where you can grow some vegetables and eat.

Ling Mo looked at the sky, it was probably noon, so she cooked some porridge and ate it, ready to go down the mountain to find Aunt Wang in the village.

"Xiao Zheng, I'll go down the mountain to find Aunt Wang." After Ling Mo finished eating, after cleaning up, he said a word and left without waiting for him to answer, anyway, it didn't mean anything to measure him.

Ling Mo occasionally met a few villagers in the village, and hurriedly greeted them according to their memories, but when they saw Ling Mo, they were as if they had seen a ghost, and Ling Mo didn't bother to pay attention to them. Don't lower your grade in vain.

"Xiaomo came to see Aunt Li again?" A fifteen or sixteen-year-old good-looking boy greeted Ling Mo.

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Qin, a few days ago, I heard that Brother Qin won the show, congratulations, our village hasn't had a show for a long time." Ling Mo recalled, it turned out that the person in front of him was Qin Ping and Qin Xiucai, who had won Xiucai two days ago.

"Alas, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I'm just a showman." Qin Xiucai said.

"......" Ling Mo was speechless, is this guy showing off, or is he showing off seriously.

"Uh... I'm sorry, Xiaomo, I'm not very good at chatting, don't mind! Qin Xiucai was embarrassed, scratched his head and said.

"It's nothing, Brother Qin, you are so promising, I believe that my father will also care about it in the spirit of the sky." Ling Mo looked at his honest appearance, maybe he thought too much, he was really not very good at chatting, remembering that this Qin Ping was also his father's student before, but he didn't expect that there would be another talent in the village after his father.

"Hehe Xiaomo, I'm really glad you think so, you are really different from before, and you are also a little different from the children in the village." When Qin Xiucai was talking to Ling Mo, she always felt that she didn't look like a child.

Ling Mo secretly gave a thumbs up, unexpectedly that this Qin Xiucai still had some eyesight.

He also said modestly: "Where is it?" Is Brother Qin going out? ”

"Well, the academy in the town invited me to teach with them as a teacher, Xiaomo, you will be ten years old next year, you can also go and listen to it." Qin Xiucai said.

"Huh? Study? Ling Mo said, but she didn't want to go, she had been studying for more than ten years, she had just graduated and worked, and now she was going to study again, so why bother?

Besides, going to the academy to study? I am a girl, and the current academy doesn't seem to accept girls, and it is moral to pay attention to women's lack of talent, how can I go to school and study as a girl?

"Xiaomo, you don't have to be embarrassed, I think you are a good seedling, when the time comes, I will talk to the academy, let them halve the tuition fee, and then you can go to audit." Qin Xiucai said sincerely.

"Uh... This one...... Let's talk about it then! Ling Mo looked at her with such enthusiasm, and it was not easy to refuse directly, so she said perfunctorily.

After saying a few more casual words, he said goodbye to Qin Xiucai.

"Aunt Wang, I saw Qin Xiucai on the way just now, and he said that he was going to teach in the town?" Ling Mo chatted with Aunt Wang for a while, and then talked about Qin Xiucai.

"Yes, that Qin Xiucai is the most promising student your father taught." Aunt Wang talked about Qin Xiucai.

Ling Mo chatted with Aunt Wang, asked for some vegetable seeds, and decided to take them back and plant them in front of the house.

Ling Mo walked leisurely on the road with vegetable seeds, and suddenly: "Oh, isn't this the dead girl?" How do you have the money to buy new clothes? ”

"Huh?" Who are you talking about?

Ling Mo turned her head and looked: "Hey, who should I be, isn't this the eldest mother?" Who is the dead girl?

I was kicked out by my aunt and grandmother and your family, and now I didn't starve to death in a broken hut, isn't my aunt still satisfied?

How do you think I'm hungry in new clothes? This dress was bought for me by Aunt Wang, if you want it, then you can also call others Auntie, maybe people can still see that you pity you and give you a steamed bun to eat. ”

"You...... You stinky girl, you've learned to talk back. The eldest lady was choked and scolded angrily.

Ling Mo rolled her eyes, don't you just talk and let you scold, I'm not stupid again.

"Oh, Xiaomo has grown so big, come over and let my aunt see, my aunt got married early, and I haven't had time to come back to see you in the past few years, you won't blame your aunt, right?" The one who spoke was a woman in her twenties who looked like an average woman, it was Ling Mo's aunt Ling Yue'e.

Ling Mo sneered in her heart, just listening to this opening remark, she didn't know that she thought she was a good aunt who loved her niece, if Ling Mo didn't have the memory of the original owner, maybe she could still be moved, but unfortunately......

So Ling Mo raised her face and interpreted the ignorance that should be at this age.

"Auntie? I...... I don't remember, I think I have an aunt...... But since my father and mother died, I haven't seen a relative, do I really have an aunt? ”

"Uh... It's not good to say that my aunt is also living in the town, but there are also difficulties at home, so it's not easy to come back. Ling Yue'e looked embarrassed.

"Will my aunt take me back? Oh, now I'm in the hut, and at night, the hut is dark and there are ghosts screaming, it's really scary.

If it weren't for the fact that I hadn't done anything bad, I wouldn't have been scared to death by ghosts if I hadn't knocked on the door.

I think that there was an old man Li who died in the hut, and I seemed to have heard old man Li at night, saying that he was hungry and cold, which really scared me to death.

Old man Li was also very kind to me in the past, and he didn't embarrass me.

Why do my aunt and aunt want to take me back? But everyone in the village said that I was a person from the side of the Heavenly Evil Lone Star Huike, but I knew that my aunt would definitely not believe it, right? Ling Mo blinked and said in surprise.

"Ahem, Xiaomo, I'm also a married daughter, and I can't be the master." Ling Yue'e looked like I couldn't help myself.

"Or come and stay with me in the hut? I heard that my aunt and aunt used to have a good relationship with Old Man Li, why don't you move in with me? Ling Mo said nonsense.

"Who's going to take you back to live? Who is going to live with you? Who has a good relationship with Old Man Li? Dead girl, don't let me see you again, bad luck!

Let's go home. As soon as the eldest lady heard this, she pulled Ling Yue'e and ran fast, she used to say bad things about Old Man Li and make him stumble, and when she heard it, she didn't see a ghost, for fear that he would come to her.

Hehe, I want to take advantage of me, and I don't look at who I am, but I don't usually watch the palace fight, and I can't kill you.
