Before the tears dropped, they were dried by the fire, Xiaoman cried silently, unscrupulous, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Man's face was roasted and painful, and finally finished crying, his face was very dry and tense Xiaoman ran to the yard to wash his face, and told himself in his heart: "After crying and venting, then work hard, everything is still unknown."

The fire burned for almost an hour, Xiaoman felt almost, I don't know if it can be successful, I have only seen pure water distillation homemade rose essential oil in the book before, that is, the rose petals to be extracted are steamed at high temperature in water, and the essential oil with high performance in the rose petals is emitted with the steam, separated from the plant, but the things here are simple and I don't know if it can be successful.

Xiaoman brought a clean bowl and was about to open the lid, still looking forward to it.

Lifting the lid of the pot, a rich fragrance of roses came from the surface, white smoke spread in all directions, and the air was filled with the fragrance of roses.

Li Niang was attracted by the fragrance when she was washing clothes in the yard, "Xiaoman, what kind of smell is this, so fragrant?" ”

"Roses, my sixth sister and I went up the mountain to pick them yesterday, and I'm going to make a new skin care thing."

Xiao Man put the iron lid of the pot flat up, it was full of water droplets, the pot was full of smoke, and he couldn't see the bottom of the pot clearly, Xiao Man couldn't help but blow it, and the fragrance flew in the air and quickly dispersed.

"Is the eldest sister Xiaoman back?"

Li Niang said: "It's Xiaoliu who is back, I'll go and see." Turning around and walking out of the kitchen, Xiao Liuliu strode into the courtyard.

"Eldest sister, I went to Juxian Building, and the people said that Xiaoman is back."

"I'm back, I came back early this morning, I guess I went away with you, you didn't meet, why is this little girl so bold, she dares to spend the night outside, see if I don't teach her, where is she?"

Li Niang grabbed Xiao Liu, who was about to run away, "Look at what you look like, Ah Fu is still standing there at the door, you are not afraid that people will see you like this." ”

Xiao Liu glanced back at Ah Fu who was standing at the door, his face flushed and he was a little embarrassed.

Li Niang pulled Xiaoliu, "Xiaoman didn't come back because there was something, but now that her fellow villagers are in the house, they are still unconscious, there may be something happened in her hometown, and she is very sad now." ”

"Sister, don't you know that there are a lot of fleeing people in the town now, and the streets are full of begging, so pitiful, Ah Fu and I bought steamed buns for them to eat, but we were almost surrounded, and many begging people didn't let us go, but fortunately, Ah Fu and I ran fast."

"Be careful in the future, the family is full of women now, it's inconvenient for Ah Fu to come in, you take her to Aunt Zhang's house to say a few words, and come back to help."

"Oh, I know I'm going to talk to him, and I'll be right back."

The smoke dissipated and the petals in the bottom of the pot have become miserable white, the water at the bottom of the pot has turned into the red of roses, take out the petals, attract gauze to filter out the residue, a large bowl of pure rose water, Xiaoman lowered his head to smell the fragrance, gently covered his mouth with gauze, and waited for it to cool, the water on the lid of the pot has condensed into large water droplets, and if you look carefully, you can find that the water droplets have yellow oil, which is the essential oil of roses, but the amount is really not too much.

"Xiao Man...... Little full ....... ”

As soon as she looked up, Li Niang stood at the door of the kitchen, "Xiao Manren is awake...... That sister of yours is awake. ”

Before Xiaoman could finish listening, he ran out of the kitchen and woke up...... When I woke up, the joy in my heart was indescribable.

"Sister Guixiang...... Sister Guixiang ....... Xiao Man rushed to the bed.

Guixiang was leaning on the bed drinking water, looking at Xiao Man who didn't recognize it for a while, "...... are you?" ”

"Sister Guixiang, it's me...... I'm Xiaoman. ”

"Little Man......?"

"Yes, you've been to my house with your cousin, the ...... of Peach Blossom Village." Xiao Man was eager to express.

"Xiaoman, you are the Xiaoman of the Gu family, I know, I know, you have helped me."

"Right...... Right...... It's me. ”

Liang's mother took the empty bowl in Guixiang's hand and said with a smile: "It's good to wake up, you two talk slowly, and we'll go out." Mother Liang took Liniang's hand and went out, leaving the space for Xiaoman and the two of them.

Xiao Man suppressed the excitement in his heart, there were too many things to say, too many questions to ask, but he knew how to speak, and slowly sat on the edge of the bed, Guixiang took Xiao Man's hand, tears filled his eyes, and big tears smashed on the quilt, and soon they were blurred.

"Sister Guixiang, don't cry, don't cry, it's not good for the baby in your belly."

Guixiang gently stroked her stomach, with a painful and sad expression on her face.

Xiao Man thought about it and asked, "Sister Guixiang, can you tell me what's going on?" How did you get here? ”

Guixiang wiped her tears, took a deep breath, and then slowly spoke, "It has been raining heavily for several months in Pingjiang Town, and the water in the river has poured onto the shore, and the rain has washed down the stones and mud on the mountain, and the crops in the field have been flooded, and the people downstream have blocked the river, and Taohua Village and several nearby villages have been completely flooded, and many people have died, my father and mother-in-law have all been drowned, and they put me on the wooden plank, and then I was rescued, and I heard them say that the entire Pingjiang Town has suffered a disaster, and all of them have been flooded, I had no choice but to flee here with them, my cousin went to Beijing to take the exam, I originally planned to go to him, but the money on my body was spent, and I was so hungry and tired that I couldn't walk. ”

"Pingjiang Town is flooded, Sister Guixiang, have you seen my mother and my eldest brother?"

"No, but I heard my cousin say before, it seems that the people in your family suddenly disappeared a few months ago, when I got married to my cousin, I went to your house to see it again, your house is deserted, it seems that no one has come back for a long time, Xiaoman, how did you get here? Aren't you with your mom and dad? ”

Xiaoman lowered his head and said slowly: "No, my father lost money in gambling and sold me to traffickers, and I was sold here by traffickers." ”

"Poor Xiaoman, they are all people with a hard life."

"Sister Guixiang is fine, I can earn money to support myself now, I live here with my godmother, eldest sister, and sixth sister, and they are all very good to me."

Guixiang touched Xiaoman's little face, and her eyes were full of sadness.

"Sister Guixiang, is there no news about my mother and my brother? I want to ask the people who fled with you, where have they gone. ”

"Actually, they robbed me of my burden and ran away, but I don't blame them, they were also forced to have no choice." After saying this, Guixiang burst into tears.
