Chapter 16 Wind Chill
Lin Mai suddenly felt bored, rolled his eyes and continued to walk forward, but was stopped by Lin Xia'er's long voice: "Lin Mai! β
"Yo, isn't this Lin Xia'er? Don't sleep at night and go out for a walk? Lin Maipi smiled and said with a smile.
Dead girl, Lin Xia'er scolded fiercely in her heart, and then raised her eyebrows and replaced it with a smirk and said, "Didn't I see you, sister, and wanted to talk to you?" β
Lin Mai, who screamed from his sister, slammed his wit, which was really more terrifying than seeing a ghost.
"I don't have much to say to you, goodbye." Lin Mai was not angry, turned around and left, and turned his head after just a few steps and said:
"By the way, did you look in the mirror? The faces on both sides are swollen like roast pigs, I think you should go to the kitchen to boil an egg and put it on it, so as not to go out tomorrow and bump into your fiancΓ©, and be bumped into by someone who looks like you and regret the marriage on the spot, then you must not be slapped twice by your grandfather? β
"You!" Lin Xia'er was so angry that she couldn't speak, and subconsciously covered her cheeks, Lin Mai's words just now were like words like a stone hammered into her heart.
Lin Mai had a triumphant smile on her face, and turned to leave, she really wanted to pull out the original owner in her body and let her see how she had gained a firm foothold in this Lin family.
In the firewood room, a wave of moisture came to the nostrils, and Lin Mai frowned and said, "Mother, I'll find Mama Song to arrange a new room for you, this firewood room is really unlivable." β
"No need, they want to arrange it for me, I didn't let me, do you think our mother and son don't have enough limelight today?" Zhou said that, but his eyes were full of smiles, and he was proud of his girl.
Lin Mai held Zhou's hand and said, "When I get married, I will take you away from here, and we will never come back!" β
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhou smiled kindly.
Lin Mai looked at Zhou's carefully, and suddenly felt that she was thinner, if she raised her body well and wore clean clothes, she would definitely be a flower in this Xishan Village.
"By the way, that Kou Gongzi just now asked someone to light the stove for me, do you feel much warmer? They even sent someone to bring me hot tea, and you can see that there is still ginger in it! Zhou pointed to the teapot on the table.
Lin Mai noticed that there was an extra copper kettle on the broken table, and stepped forward to open the lid of the kettle and sniffed it, it was indeed ginger water.
She then remembered that a long time ago, she wanted to ask the Qian family for some ginger slices to boil water for herself and the Zhou family, but they were all refused, in this Lin family, they were reluctant to give even a piece of ginger to the Zhou family's mother and daughter, it was too deceitful.
"Mother, don't worry, I'll cover you in the future!" Lin Mai said, squeezing his eyes.
This can make Zhou's family confused, Lin Mai's temperament has changed greatly recently, but also some crazy words, Zhou's is really afraid that Kou Xiao will dislike Lin Mai if he knows.
After settling down and returning to the hut, Lin Mai saw Kou Xiao and remembered what he had sent someone to do for Zhou, and his attitude immediately softened.
Kou Xiao knew that she had gone to see Zhou, so she didn't ask anything, but spread the mattress quilt sent by Mama Song on the ground.
"Thank you so much, and help me prepare the floor." Lin Mai was slightly embarrassed and said, she was really not used to thanking people.
"You misunderstood, I want to sleep on this bunk, you just need to sleep in the bed." Kou Xiao said.
This kid is really distressed, a warm feeling flowed in Lin Mai's heart, since this is the case, she can only be respectful and obey her fate.
As soon as he lay on the soft bed, Lin Mai suddenly felt relaxed.
Although this house was built temporarily, Lin Mai still admired Kou Xiao's subordinates very much, and she was able to find such a comfortable bed in this poor mountain and bad water area, and her curiosity about Kou Xiao's family background became more and more serious.
Xu is toxin attack in his body, and in the middle of the night, Lin Mai heard a faint moan on the ground.
Lin Mai called twice, but she didn't hear Kou Xiao's response, her heart suddenly cooled, and she hurriedly turned over and got out of bed to look.
This look startled Lin Mai, the floor in the house was already damp, and Kou Xiao was covered in cold sweat, and the quilt was already wet and cold.
Lin Mai stretched out his hand and touched it, good guy, this kid's forehead is hot, isn't it a cold, what is it?
No, we have to move him to the bed quickly, Lin Mai thought so, and hurriedly helped Kou Xiao up.
Although Kou Xiao looked quite strong, but when he got close to Lin Mai, he still felt that he was a little thin, this frailty should have been brought out of his mother's womb, if he hadn't learned martial arts, I am afraid that he would have died as early as a child.
Lin Mai helped Kou Xiao to the bed, feeling a little distressed in his heart, and then put on his coat and walked out of the door, seeing the one-eyed monster Beihu guarding the door alone, his face tired but concentrated.
"Your master has a bit of a cold, and now he has a fever, go and get me the medicine box, and then boil the kettle of hot water." Lin Mai whispered.
Kitado's eyes were full of worry, and he didn't slack off, and hurriedly went to get the medicine box.
This scene was seen by Yang Shi, who got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, she quickly wiped the eye feces from the corners of her eyes, hid to the side and peeked, and after a while, she saw Beihu bring the half-human-high medicine box over.
Beihu entered the house with Lin Mai, Yang looked left and right, and saw that there was no one guarding the yard, so he went over and hid under the window of the thatched hut, and heard the sound of Lin Mai and Beihu talking inside.
"Why did the young master of my family suddenly suffer from a cold?" Kitato asked.
Lin Mai pointed to the bed on the ground and said, "He is for me, and he knows that I don't want to sleep with him, so he volunteered to sleep on the floor, alas." β
"It's inconvenient for the master's subordinates to ask more, I just hope that the young lady can heal my master, as long as she can cure him, let me do anything."
Beihu's words touched Lin Mai's heart, and the word loyalty was vividly reflected in Kou Xiao's subordinates.
"The toxins in his body are not clear and he suffers from wind and cold, this is not a good thing, I will write a prescription, you can quickly fry these herbs first."
With the sound of footsteps in the house, the Yang family, who was hiding under the window, hurriedly left.
It turned out that this golden beetle son-in-law was actually a sick seedling, poisoned and had a stroke and cold, how could he live long? Yang returned to bed thoughtfully.
Boss Lin woke up passively and quietly in his sleep, and kicked Yang impatiently.
In the past, the Yang family would definitely kick back, but now her mind is full of Kou Xiao's illness, and she doesn't know if it is right or wrong to let Lin Xia'er snatch this sick seedling.
Kou Xiao, who took the medicinal soup, gradually subsided her fever, but for some reason she kept holding Lin Mai and refused to let go.
Kitado knew that it was inconvenient for him to stay longer, so he took the empty medicine bowl and exited the house.
"Mother, mother......" Kou Xiao called softly, frowning, as if she had fallen into some bad dream.
Considering his current physical condition, Lin Mai didn't push Kou Xiao away, so he had to sit on the edge of the bed and hold on so hard until he fell asleep.
