Chapter 7 Washing Dishes
With a "bang", the flames jumped up, fell on the hay, and quickly burned, Fang Jin exclaimed, and hurriedly hid back, for fear that the fire would burn on him.
"Ahh She subconsciously took a few steps back, but ran into the arms of an explanation, Chen Xuanwu heard the scream, and hurriedly threw the pile of burning straw into the stove, the fire in the stove was burning, and the water in the pot also showed signs of heating up.
Fang Jin came back to his senses, only to realize that he was shrinking into Chen Xuanwu's arms, and hurriedly withdrew, "It's me who is too reckless......
"Next time these things, I'll do it." Chen Xuanwu said lightly, bent down, and added firewood to the stove, "You go and bring rice." ”
Chen Xuanwu's expression was firm, it seemed that Fang Jin was not allowed to get half a step closer to the stove, Fang Jin had to go to the rice bowl to get rice, and there was not much rice left in the rice tank, only a shallow bottom.
Fang Jin looked at the rice jar and sighed, and reluctantly dismantled his waist, while Chen Xuanwu was still burning the fire like no one else, "There is no rice." ”
She frowned and complained in a low voice, the house was almost unable to open the pot, how could Chen Xuanwu still be so calm, she didn't want to starve to death in the mountains before anyone went out.
"It will last a few days." Chen Xuanwu's face reflected the red firelight, but his expression was extremely calm, as if he was not worried at all.
Fang Jin scooped the rice and lifted the rice into the cauldron, the rice spread out in the pot, wrapped in hot water and exuding aroma, "It's so fragrant, it's a pity that after eating this meal, it's gone......"
Chen Xuanwu patted the ashes on his clothes, stood up, looked at the rice soup in the pot and frowned, "Tomorrow you go and get back the skins of those dead wolves, and you can exchange a lot of rice when you go down the mountain." ”
When Fang Jin heard this, he was immediately stunned, what did Chen Xuanwu want to do by himself?
She completely thought that there was something wrong with her ears, and asked again, "What are you asking me to do?" ”
Chen Xuanwu said disapprerovingly, "Go and get the wolf skin back, otherwise what do you think I'm going to do in the mountains?" ”
Fang Jin looked at her weak body, Chen Xuanwu actually asked her to pick the skin of a wolf, it was still a dead wolf, she quickly shook her head, and said aggrievedly, "Do you look at me like this, like picking a wolf's skin?" ”
"I have a wound on my foot." Chen Xuanwu has the attitude that if you like to go or not, if you don't go, we will wait to starve to death, anyway, he was injured to save her.
Compared with skinning a wolf, Fang Jin definitely didn't want to starve to death in this deep mountain and old forest, he only blamed himself for being born at the wrong time, God didn't open his eyes, and others were reborn as young ladies in brocade clothes and jade food, how did it get to her, it was the hard life of this little daughter-in-law, "Okay, I'll go early tomorrow morning." ”
Chen Xuanwu took a spoon and stirred it in the pot, the clay stove was fierce, it didn't take much effort, the porridge in the pot was already fragrant and thick, Fang Jin smelled the taste, and couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.
"Okay, no?" Fang Jin, who hadn't eaten for a day, couldn't hold back his hunger and urged.
Chen Xuanwu frowned, put on two pottery bowls, and served the porridge slowly, Fang Jin couldn't wait to bring the porridge to the table, but the porridge was hot, she rubbed her hands and rubbed the roots of her ears, only to relieve the pain of being scalded off a little.
"Drink slowly." Chen Xuanwu looked at her appearance, crying and laughing, but was glared at by Fang Jinhui, and only dared to remind two words.
Fang Jin was good, even if Chen Xuanwu reminded her, she still blew a few breaths against the mouth of the bowl and took a few sips of hot porridge, "Tut-tut, it's so fragrant......"
This porridge really can't be compared with the clear soup that Du Shi prepared for herself, she didn't bother to take a look at this bland porridge before, but now she just drinks the porridge, and she is extremely satisfied.
Chen Xuanwu looked at her drinking porridge, a little stunned, for a while, he didn't know how the woman in front of him was a little different from what he had seen.
After drinking the porridge, it was already dark.
Looking at the two empty bowls on the table, the two looked at each other, Fang Jin had never thought about who washed the dishes, after all, she lived in Chen Xuanwu's house, and she had never done any work herself, now that Chen Xuanwu was injured, could it be that she was really vicious enough to let Chen Xuan wash the dishes?
I can't help but feel sorry for it.
Fang Jin cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and walked to the courtyard in small steps, there was a lantern hanging in the courtyard, it was not too dark, and there was light leaking from the house.
There is a well in the yard, and it is necessary to fetch water for washing and drinking on weekdays, Fang Jin picked up the bucket with some reluctance and stretched out his head to look at the well.
Well, it's really a black winter.
She was so frightened that she hurriedly retracted her head, the scene just now was so frightening that she couldn't see anything when she stuck her head in, she threw the bucket in her hand into the well, and there was a stone tied to the bucket, which could easily sink the bucket into the water.
Fang Jin was satisfied and pulled the bucket up, only to find that it was only two-thirds of the way through, and it was not enough to even make a bowl, so he shook his head and threw the bucket back.
"What is this?" The second bucket of water is not much different from the previous bucket, and there is not much water at all, why is it so hard to even fetch water in this hellish place?
Chen Xuanwu limped out of the house, and when he saw Fang Jin struggling to draw water, he didn't agree with a word, so he lost his temper with the bucket and leaned forward curiously.
Fang Jin turned his head suddenly, and when he saw Chen Xuanwu, he screamed in fright, "Why are you walking silently, I'm scared to death!" Can you tell me next time? ”
She clutched her chest and gasped, blaming Chen Xuanwu, she was just scared, as soon as her hand was loosened, the entire bucket and the rope fell into the water, now it's okay, even the bucket is gone.
"That's not how you fetch water." Chen Xuanwu just wanted to teach her how to draw water correctly, but she was scolded by her for no reason, and she was also confused.
Fang Jin sighed, "I naturally know that the water is not beaten like this, but even the bucket is gone, what can I use to draw water?" ”
Chen Xuanwu walked to the side without saying a word, picked a long bamboo pole, and stretched it straight into the well, "Isn't this okay." ”
The rope was picked up by a bamboo pole, and there was exactly a bucket of water in it, Fang Jin was speechless, and felt that Chen Xuanwu still had two strokes, carrying the bucket and pouring the water into the basin.
In this ancient time, there was not even a dish washing essence, this bowl may not be clean, Fang Jin was not very suitable for this way of washing dishes, so he took a rag and wiped it on the bowl, the well water soaked her hands coldly, and a trace of cold soaked into her bones.
"Tsk......" Fang Jin gasped, rubbed his hands, there were only two bowls, quickly finished the work on his hands, poured the water, and got into the house.
She still has difficulties in tomorrow morning, but Chen Xuanwu can't walk like this, and if she doesn't skin the wolf, she will starve to death, which is really a dilemma......
