Chapter 27: A Woman's Sense of Crisis

The clouds outside the room gradually dissipated, and a large area of sunlight finally cast on the ground. Lu Mengjian put down the things in his hand, opened the door, and let the sunlight in.

"Aunt Li, it's really useful for me to keep these pots, you may not understand them now, I will explain them to you in two days," Lu Mengjian took a rag from nowhere and carefully wiped the rust around the broken pot under the light.

Looking at Lu Mengjian's fascinated appearance, Aunt Li was very helpless, this woman is serious and likable, but sometimes it is always a little difficult to see.

The bamboo strips were sent over early the next morning, Li Dazhuang has always been quick in doing things, and after hearing that Lu Mengjian was in urgent need, he went to the bamboo forest in the dark and cut two bamboos, and cut a bundle of bamboo strips when the sky was bright.

Aunt Li neatly weaved the bamboo strips together, the craftsmanship was very exquisite, Lu Mengjian deliberately poured water on it, and there were no water stains seeping out for a long time.

According to the previous appearance, several broken pots were spliced together, and the periphery was tightly wrapped with bamboo strips, and a few pieces of bark were tied to the joints, and after shaking vigorously a few times, after confirming that it was correct, the strangely shaped "distillation pot" was re-placed on the stove. Although there is no cooling pool on this distillation pot, cold water needs to be poured manually, but it is rare to make this appearance.

The acacia flowers have been dried for two days, and Lu Mengjian has already collected them and prepared for experiments. Aunt Li looked at the strangely shaped thing, and didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Lu Mengjian's gourd, so she stood aside and watched.

Lu Mengjian added the well water to the furnace through the small hole reserved for it, and resealed the entire distillation pot, leaving only one side of the small tube responsible for guiding the steam out. Thinking of the embarrassment of burning the fire two days ago, I couldn't help but be cheeky and asked Aunt Li to help light the fire, and I felt a sense of relief.

The fire quickly ignited, and after boiling for a while, the water in the pot continued to boil, and I saw that white steam continued to come out of the nozzle, but as soon as it touched the bowl that Lu Mengjian deliberately held at the nozzle, it condensed into water droplets, slowly gathered into injections, and fell into the bowl underneath.

Seeing that the fire arrived, Lu Mengjian didn't care about burning his hands, opened the small hole on the distillation pot, grabbed the locust flowers and stuffed them in, and stuffed a basket of locust flowers into the pot, then quickly blocked the hole, raised the small bowl for cooling in his hand, and put it at the steam outlet.

After a while, I saw a steady stream of steam coming out of the distillation pot, condensing it, and falling down in a pour. It's just that the bowl is getting hotter and hotter, and steam is constantly coming out from under the bowl and drifting into the air. As a result, there are fewer and fewer droplets of water falling.

"Dream note, what are you doing, boiling the water but only this water vapor is wasted so much firewood in vain," Aunt Li saw that she had wasted so much firewood, but just to collect this little bit of water vapor, she couldn't help but feel distressed, you must know that the firewood was cut back from the mountain by her family man little by little, and now she feels a little worthless when she looks at it.

Lu Mengjian picked up the bowl of water on the ground, carefully measured it for a while, and then pointed to the thin layer of grease floating on the water surface and said, "Aunt Li, you dip your fingers on the surface of the water, and then smell it." ”

Aunt Li was suspicious, stretched out her index finger and scratched it in the bowl, put it under her nose, her tightly knit brows suddenly relaxed, and she looked at Lu Mengjian with some doubts, "It's so fragrant!" It's a familiar aroma, like ...... I can't remember it at this point. ”

Gently putting the bowl aside, Lu Mengjian looked at Aunt Li with a smile, and was not in a hurry to speak.

"Oh, it's the fragrance of locust flowers! Why am I so familiar, strange, but I boiled some acacia flowers in water, and there was the fragrance of acacia flowers in the water, Dream Notes, how did you do it," Aunt Li looked at Lu Mengjian excitedly, and she was even happier than Lu Mengjian.

"Actually, these are just some simple ones, and this is only the basic stage, when I purify this aroma, it will be dozens of times more fragrant than what you smell now!" Lu Mengjian looked down at the liquid in the bowl. Although the density of water and oil is different, the oil and water will automatically separate, and the oil on the surface of the water can be separated, which is much more difficult than simply obtaining the liquid.

"It's even more fragrant than this! Then I really can't imagine it, this water alone is already much more fragrant than the locust flowers on the tree, how fragrant can it be? Aunt Li still put her index finger under her nose and kept sniffing the aroma on her hand, "I don't plan to wash this hand today, keep it for Zhong'er and his father to smell." ”

Lu Mengjian's eyes were full of smiles, "Aunt Li is so ashamed, it's hard to plan not to wash your hands for the rest of your life, I'm afraid that when the time comes, Zhong'er and his father can't bear to put down the chopsticks......"

"If this fragrance lasts for the rest of my life, I really plan to keep it forever. In this world, which woman doesn't love incense, it's just that the conditions in our small mountain village don't allow it, otherwise I really want to be like those little daughters-in-law in the city.

Aunt Li's confession made Lu Mengjian feel a little surprised, in her impression, ancient women were always restrained and reserved, and exquisite makeup was generally exclusive to women in the dust, I didn't expect this world to be so fashionable, even a country woman like Aunt Li has this awareness, it can be seen that the love of beauty has existed since ancient times.

In this way, it strengthened Lu Mengjian's original idea.

Seeing that the dream note did not react, Aunt Li suddenly stepped forward and said mysteriously, "Dream note, now you are more handsome than when you came out of our Shita Village, I see that Mr. Lin's eyes are different from usual every time he sees you, and the two of you have been married for a long time, why haven't you moved?" ”

Lu Mengjian has lived for more than 20 years, and naturally he has long understood the affairs of these men and women, but he was said so directly, he still felt that his face was red and his heart was beating, and he saw Aunt Li staring at his stomach narrowly, her originally fair cheeks swelled like red apples, and she gently pushed Aunt Li shyly, "Aunt Li, what are you talking nonsense, I, we ......"

She and Lin Daimo were originally puppet husband and wife, so naturally there could be no result, but she was ashamed to say it, and she couldn't explain it clearly for a long time, and her face became more and more crimson.

"Okay, my aunt is here, looking at your embarrassed appearance, I don't know and think that my aunt bullied you. But you have to remember one thing, men like the new and hate the old, I see that Mr. Lin is so good-looking, and knowledgeable, I am afraid that you will not be able to suppress him in the future, so I will give you a reminder, and I will be sad and sad in the future," Aunt Li said earnestly, and a warm current welled up in Lu Mengjian's heart.

Although she may not have any results with Lin Daimo in the future, having such concern from the elders also moved Lu Mengjian.

"And listening to what Zhong'er said, Mr. Lin's family must not be an ordinary family, this time when he goes home, I don't know what the situation will be, and there is no news for two days...... Dream note, don't blame the aunt for being too talkative, you might as well go to the city and ask what's going on, and you can know it. Aunt Li was kind, but what she said was really inconsiderate, and Lu Mengjian always felt strange in her heart when she heard it, as if she had been abandoned.

"How can it, Aunt Li, you think too much, Mr. is not that kind of person, but don't worry, even if something happens, there is an aunt, and the dream note will definitely not suffer!" Lu Mengjian pretended not to care, and happened to see a few patches on Aunt Li's sleeves, and had an idea in his heart, and said, "But after I came to the village, I just changed clothes with these two clothes, and the weather is really not enough to wear, so let's go to the city tomorrow to buy a piece of cloth and come back to wash clothes and wear them!" ”

As soon as Aunt Li spoke, she felt that something was wrong, but when she heard Lu Mengjian propose to go to the city, she knew that she couldn't rest assured of Mr. Lin after all, so she relaxed and responded to it.

At this time, in the dungeon of the Lin Mansion, even though it was noon, it was still dark, and a biting coolness emanated everywhere.

Deep in the dungeon, a young man was lying on the damp grass in a daze, motionless. On his ankle was a cold, hard iron ring attached to a long iron chain.

Two meters away from his hand, next to the iron fence, there is a food box, in which is placed a bowl of white rice, and a plate of side dishes that cannot be seen. It was a meal delivered in the morning, and one morning had passed, still in its place.

Suddenly, I heard a sound of Kala, and someone entered, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the empty darkness, and in a short time they came to the fence, took the morning food box aside, and laid the new meal aside.

"Young Master, Great Young Master," the visitor tried his best to lower his voice, and kept shouting at the man lying not far away, but the man was still motionless.

"Young Master, I'm Fang Yuan, you've suffered," the little guy who came to deliver the meal choked up slightly, "Anyway, you have something to eat, you look like this, Fang Yuan looks uncomfortable in his heart." ”

"Ahem," Lin Daimo turned his face, his eyes were extraordinarily bright in the dark, but because he hadn't eaten a drop of water for two days, his voice was already hoarse and couldn't speak. Looking at the accompanying reading boy who had followed him for nearly ten years not far away, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

"You drink some water to moisten your throat first, these meals are made by me, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to rescue you!" Fang Yuan tried to pass the water over, but there was still a long distance away from Lin Daimo, and he was so anxious that tears fell from him.

"After the master went, the young master you disappeared, Fang Yuan heard that the girl in the house said that Madame drove you out, I still don't believe it, but today I see Madame like this to you...... Young Master, Fang Yuan is sorry for you, if I hadn't insisted on finding Young Master, I wouldn't have made Young Master return to Lin Mansion again," Fang Yuan knelt on the ground, looking at Lin Daimo's trembling appearance lying on the ground, his heart was like a knife.

"I have already paid off the guards of the dungeon, and I will serve the young master three meals in the future. Young master, you have to get better as soon as possible, I will definitely find a way to help you escape! ”
