Chapter 65 Storytelling
However, Lin Mingru, who was beaten, just bent down and picked up the stone and returned it, and then closed the door again.
Bai Yiyu immediately went to help, Lin Mingru glanced at her slightly stunned, and then glanced at the courtyard again.
Clean.
The house has become cleaner, and the mother seems to have changed.
"Brother drink water." Lin Qingzhi was no longer surprised that his brother Lin Mingru was beaten.
In the past, Huzi beat his brother, and Lin Qingzhi would hit him back with a stone when he saw it.
But the result in exchange was that she and her brother were beaten by Hu Zi Niang, although Lin Qingzhi didn't understand why the previously kind Hu Zi Niang became different after her father died, anyway, now she hates them.
"Warm water, where did it come from?" Lin Mingru took the porcelain bowl and felt the temperature, and asked his sister puzzled.
"Mother's burned. Am I cuter today? Lin Qingzhi took the small skirt and put it around Lin Mingru.
Yes! My sister, who has always been dirty, has also become clean today. I also brought a wildflower on my head, I guess I picked it from the yard!
"Mother, are you okay!" Lin Mingru, who finished drinking the water, looked at Bai Yiyu and asked.
Bai Yiyu nodded: "Maybe I dreamed of the Bodhisattva yesterday, and I woke up a lot of sobering up this morning, but I can't remember a lot of things from the past." ”
"Can you tell my mother?" Bai Yiyu walked to Lin Mingru's side and slowly squatted down and asked.
"Yes." Lin Mingru replied with a slightly sour nose. But instead of shedding tears, he took out something wrapped in oiled paper from his bosom and handed it to his sister.
Lin Qingzhi happily took the thing, then opened it and exclaimed: "There is rice, there is meat." ”
"Brother, where are you from?" Lin Qingzhi remembered that they hadn't eaten rice and meat for a long time. They often eat wowotou and wild vegetables, and occasionally eat white steamed buns.
But today there is rice, and there is meat.
Lin Mingru looked at his sister's happy smile and asked, "Today I met a rich man who gave me some tattoo money. ”
Then he said to Bai Yiyu: "After dinner, I will tell my mother everything I know." ”
"Okay, okay, now let's go cook!" Lin Qingzhi took Lin Mingru's hand and ran to the small kitchen.
Bai Yiyu saw the part of Lin Mingru's clothes that had changed color, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, this child really swallowed all the hardships in his stomach.
Lin Mingru, who was sitting on the stove and starting the fire, suddenly felt a happiness that he hadn't had for a long time, when his father was still in his mother's mind, his father and mother would often cook for him and his sister.
Although my father was very busy at that time, he was so busy that sometimes he couldn't even sleep. But it's still the case.
"Mother, be careful." Lin Qingzhi couldn't help but cry out when she saw Bai Yiyu's method of cutting meat, she saw that Bai Yiyu was about to cut her hand several times.
Seeing this, Lin Mingru immediately got up and came to Bai Yiyu's side: "Mother, I'll cut the meat, you go and burn the fire!" ”
Bai Yiyu glanced at the meat that had been cut into different sizes by himself, and had no choice but to drop the knife and burn the fire.
Today's dinner is porridge made of millet, although it will not fill the stomach, but it will not be hungry.
The crooked crescent moon slowly rose, after dinner. Bai Yiyu boiled some warm water and let the two siblings wash up first, and then went to clean up by himself.
When it was all over, she saw their brother and sister sitting at the stone table in the large courtyard, each holding their cheeks and looking at the moonlight, so she smiled and walked over.
"Brother, the moon is so bright tonight!" Lin Qingzhi was the first to speak.
"Yes! Even the road is clearly illuminated. The pain in his back made Lin Mingru's voice a little dim when he spoke.
At this time, Bai Yiyu also sat down, but he was holding a grass in his hand.
This grass was discovered by her when she was pulling weeds, and it has the effect of stopping bleeding and relieving pain. Maybe this grass is just a weed in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Bai Yiyu, who has studied medicine in the Poison Creek Valley since she was a child, she is a usable medicine.
So she also collected several of these herbs, and originally wanted to make them into a medicinal juice tomorrow so that it would be easy to use later.
"Come, my mother will give you medicine, this grass can stop bleeding and relieve pain in my occasional hair." Bai Yiyu was afraid that Lin Mingru would be suspicious, so he also deliberately added.
Lin Mingru was about to say something, but Bai Yiyu had already reached over and gently took off his clothes for Mingru. Fortunately, this season is not cold, otherwise she would not dare to give medicine to Ming Ru like this.
The dark back was covered with large and small scars, and I saw a new scar on Lin Mingru's right back.
Bai Yiyu gently crushed the grass and then carefully applied it to Lin Mingru, and soon the medicinal effect of the herb came into play, and Lin Mingru's eyebrows gradually expanded.
"Brother, it's good for Qingzhi to protect you in the future." Lin Qingzhi looked at his brother and said.
After applying the medicine, Bai Yiyu gently put on clothes for Lin Mingru again, and then heard Lin Mingru say to himself: "Mother, this medicine is amazing. ”
Bai Yiyu smiled, reached out and touched Lin Mingru's head: "Then next, can you answer a few questions from my mother?" ”
Lin Mingru nodded, and Lin Qingzhi jumped down from the stool and threw himself into Bai Yiyu's arms.
Bai Yiyu hugged Lin Qingzhi and asked, "What year is it now?" Now she had to figure out how old she was.
"In the fifty years of Yufeng, Emperor Fengling was in power." Lin Mingru replied.
"Emperor Fengling's name is Feng Lingxiu?" Bai Yiyu asked again. I didn't expect that five years had passed in my life.
"Exactly!" Lin Mingru replied.
Bai Yiyu sighed helplessly and glanced up at the crescent moon. Lin Qingzhi in her arms hugged her tightly: "Mother, will you fight Xiaohu tomorrow?" ”
"Who is Xiaohu?" Bai Yiyu lowered his head and asked.
"It's the person who beat my brother just now, I used to beat Xiaohu, and Xiaohu Niang would beat me and my brother. Will you fight Xiaohu tomorrow? "In the past, she and her brother did not have the protection of her mother, because her mother was sick. Now that my mother's illness is cured, will I fight Xiaohu for them! Lin Qingzhi asked with Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.
"What's going on with Xiaohu's family?" Bai Yiyu's gaze looked at Lin Mingru.
"Xiaohu is the child of a family that his father helped while he was alive." Lin Mingru pursed his lips slightly and replied.
"Can you talk to my mother, my mother can't remember many things clearly." Bai Yiyu looked at Lin Mingru and asked.
Lin Mingru nodded.
"Three years ago, because there was a drought in Baiqiuling, not far from Baisha City, my father personally took people there."
"But I didn't expect that the Baiqiu Mountains were steep and strange, the road was narrow, and my father rode through and accidentally fell off the Baizhang high mountain road, and some people saw that we didn't have a father, and my mother was also sick at that time."
"I came to pick up our family's things together, at first I borrowed them, and then I started to rob them directly."
"Xiaohu's family and several other families have been living in our yard, because my father took them in to work in my house, and they originally planned to ...... after coming out of Baiqiuling." Lin Mingru told Bai Yiyu a lot of things that happened before.
At the end, he specially added: "Yes, there is a family that I heard that it is my father's fellow villager." My sister and I are going to call her aunt by generation. ”
"They live in our house and beat people?" A wave of anger rose in Bai Yiyu's heart.
Lin Mingru was silent, just nodded.
Lin Qingzhi raised his head and looked at Bai Yiyu and said, "Yes! They're broken. Not only occupy our house, but also beat us. ”
It seems that it's time to clean up that group of people, she was naturally helpless when she wasn't there before, but now that she is here, she will definitely not let others bully their two siblings anymore.
