Chapter Seventy-Nine: Jin Xiaolou catches mice with his bare hands
After Jin Xiaolou finished speaking, Liu Jie's younger brother raised his eyebrows and his face was pale.
I only felt that there was a ball of gas choked in my throat, and I just wanted to scold and spill out the unemitted gas. In front of him, Jin Xiaolou slammed the door and closed the door.
The dusty wooden door almost hit Liu Jiedi's nose, Liu Jiedi's eyes became even redder, and he kicked the door vigorously when he raised his foot, scolding some foul language while kicking.
Gui Zhi burned a little hard, Ben was groggy from sleep, and at this moment he was also awakened by the movement outside the door, and just wanted to ask what was going on, Jin Xiaolou had already twisted a wet handkerchief and put it on her forehead.
"What's going on out there?" Katsura struggled to get up and take a look.
Jin Xiaolou hurriedly pressed her back to the bed: "Toad screaming, don't care." ”
Sure enough, Liu Jiedi's temper outside was ignored, and he felt that his strength had hit the cotton, and he was angry and his lungs exploded, so he had no choice but to scold and walk away.
Jin Xiaolou hurriedly went to hug Lin'er who was babbling and waving his little hand.
The burns on Lin'er's hands and feet were slightly better after rubbing the okra flower oil, and it looked less red and swollen, but the blisters still did not disappear, but became big and bright, and it hurt to look at.
However, Lin'er is very well-behaved, except for the time when she was burned the night before, she really couldn't stand the pain and cried all night, although she was a little uncomfortable in the past two days, she pouted her mouth by herself, and looked at Jin Xiaolou and Guizhi with a pair of black eyes, not crying or making trouble.
The medicine I bought in Xinning yesterday was also removed, and the okra flower oil sent by the Ye family was put in the thatched house, Jin Xiaolou was a little worried, such a big blister must not be broken, otherwise it will leave a scar.
You have to think of something to get the blisters to go away.
Jin Xiaolou remembered that he had heard of home remedies for treating scalds before, one was to apply toothpaste to the scalds, which could cool down, sterilize and stop foaming; The other is to use a raw eggshell membrane, which contains lysozyme and collagen, and the eggshell membrane is attached to the burn area, which can also promote wound healing while sterilizing it.
Toothpaste was gone in ancient times, but eggs can be thought of.
Jin Xiaolou told Gui Zhi to rest well, and he turned around and went to the stove room first.
The mother-in-law who came to clean last night obviously didn't clean the stove, and as soon as she stepped in, Jin Xiaolou was choked by the dust on her face and coughed violently.
There was a large cauldron on the stove, the bottom of the pot was covered with rust, and the stove was filled with rotting wood ashes. Jin Xiaolou picked up the tongs standing next to him, and when he took out the firewood ash, two fat gray mice came out.
The rat was not afraid of people, and shook his tail and squeaked, and did not go away for a while.
Jin Xiaolou is not afraid of mice, she has used many varieties of mice in her experiments, and she will catch mice with her bare hands. As soon as he saw these two fat gray squirrels, he threw the tongs and pounced on them, grabbed their tails with one left and one right, and lifted them up.
Just about to throw it into the ditch outside, I happened to see Ye standing at the gate of the courtyard with a dustpan.
Ye saw Jin Xiaolou's figure swaying in the stove room, and put the dustpan towards the courtyard gate, so he shouted at Jin Xiaolou from afar: "Xiaolou, I brought you some rice and flour, I went to your house last night to pack some clothes, and I also brought them, as well as okra flower oil for Lin'er." ”
The Ye family really wanted to go in and see the situation of Xiaolou and them, but Li Zheng said that he was forbidden to approach Huang Guizhi, and the Ye family had always been obedient, so he had to look at it from a distance.
"Auntie, thank you so much." Jin Xiaolou's gratitude is beyond words, the okra flower oil is really helpful, "You put it at the gate of the courtyard, I'll get it in a while." ”
In order not to let the Ye family get into criticism, Jin Xiaolou wanted to wait for the Ye family to go away before bringing things in.
She stood at the window, watching Ye Shi turn around, the figure gradually disappeared into the wild camellia, and just wanted to go out, she saw another person rushing out of the oblique, but it was Liu Jiedi.
The man hid beside him and never left.
At this time, Liu Jiedi was holding a ball of unknown things in his hand, wrapped in potato leaves, black, like mud.
"Jin Xiaolou, don't you have a kind of not coming out?" As Liu Jiedi spoke, his hand shook, and he smashed the lump wrapped in the potato leaf into the dustpan at the gate of the courtyard.
"You think you don't have to worry about hiding here for food and clothing? Someone else came to bring you rice and noodles? What a beautiful thing you think! Brother Liu spat on it, "I think you can eat this rice noodles mixed with cow dung?" ”
"Jin Xiaolou, if you live here for a day, I will throw cow dung into your food for a day!" Brother Liu was arrogant, "I'll see how long you can endure it!" ”
Jin Xiaolou hurriedly ran out, his eyes staring at the dustpan tightly.
Smelly and dirty cow dung smashed over the small jar of okra flower oil, and the yellow-orange-orange oil flowed everywhere.
The cloth bag containing the rice and noodles was also dirty, and there were some condiments such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar, etc., all of which were scattered.
The other Jin Xiaolou didn't care, what she couldn't bear was the okra flower oil that treated Lin'er's burns.
"What, you can't stand it now?" Brother Liu giggled, "I'm waiting for you to kneel down and beg me!" ”
Jin Xiaolou raised his hand, lifted the two fat mice and threw them at Liu Jiedi's face.
Liu Jiedi didn't see clearly what those two gray things were at first.
When the mouse landed on her face, its furry teeth and claws were dancing, and it drilled into her collar one by one, and then she was frightened!
Liu Jiedi was frightened, and the two mice were even more panicked, the more Liu Jiedi screamed and jumped, the more the rats used their claws and teeth, biting the collar and biting the skin on Liu Jiedi's neck, just wanting to get into the black clothes.
"Jin Xiaolou!!" Brother Liu's tears are about to fall, where has she been thrown a mouse, this Jin Xiaolou is really crazy, "Catch them for me!" Fast!! ”
"You beg me! Jin Xiaolou looked at Brother Liu Jie, who was about to collapse in front of him, with a calm face, "If you can't stand it anymore, kneel down and beg me now, I'll wait!" ”
Liu Jiedi screamed, his eyes were split, he reached out and grabbed a mouse, and with a twist of his two hands, he actually wrung off the mouse's head alive.
The other crawled around on her, but could not catch it, and Liu Jiedi lay on his back on the ground, rolled twice, and the mouse ran into the grass and trees.
Brother Liu was covered in mud, his hair was scattered, and his face was decadent.
She glared at Jin Xiaolou fiercely, and finally turned around and left.
It wasn't until she passed through the wild camellia that Liu Jiedi started to tremble, and when she took a step forward, she trembled even more, until she reached the entrance of the village, she trembled, tears burst down, and she began to cry.
At the gate of the small courtyard, Jin Xiaolou squatted down to brush off the cow dung in the dustpan, and there was not a drop of okra flower oil left.
When I opened the cloth bag, the rice was a little dirty, and the flour was fine.
She took the dustpan to the backyard, where there was a well in the vegetable patch next to the wooden shed in the backyard.
The water in the well was clear and sweet, Jin Xiaolou fetched water, washed the bottles and jars of condiments little by little, took out a basin, and carefully scooped the rice stained with cow dung several times.
It wasn't until it was completely cleaned up that Jin Xiaolou shook the pot, lit a fire, grabbed three handfuls of rice and threw them into the pot, added two more scoops of water, and cooked porridge.
Jin Xiaolou put the remaining rice in a dustpan and dried it in the sun, took a small bowl, mixed some flour, and put it on the stove, and then began to clean the stove house.
By the time she was busy and cleaned the stove, the porridge in the pot was almost cooked.
When the lid of the pot was lifted, the water vapor gurgled upward, and the rice soup was just right thick.
Scooped out two bowls and cooled them aside, and there was still some soup left at the bottom of the pot, so he took them and drank them himself, and then brought the two bowls of porridge on the side into the house.
Guizhi had already gotten up and was holding Lin'er and teasing.
"Lin'er will be handed over to you to feed." Jin Xiaolou put the bowl on the table and said softly to Gui Zhi, "I'm going to go into the forest and find some good things to come back, Gui Zhi, don't go out to blow the wind." ”
Gui Zhi asked worriedly, "Don't we have rice noodles?" It's okay to deal with it for a while, it's too dangerous in the woods, Xiaolou, you go alone, I'm not at ease. ”
Jin Xiaolou smiled mischievously: "I'll make you a special snack." ”
As he spoke, Jin Xiaolou stepped forward and touched Guizhi's forehead: "Well, I drank hot water and slept last night, and I put on a handkerchief this morning, and the fever is almost gone." ”
"I didn't catch a cold often when I was a child, but as long as I did, my mother ...... My mother will buy me pizza to eat. Jin Xiaolou lowered her head and smiled, her mother died of cancer before she went to college, and she only had one relative.
When I was a child, after my parents divorced, my mother had to make money to support the family and take care of Jin Xiaolou alone.
Therefore, Jin Xiaolou is also very sensible, not only does his academic performance rank first every year, but he never asks adults for this or that like other children.
Jin Xiaolou rarely eats snacks, only when he is sick.
Every time she was sick, her mother would buy fried chicken and fruit pizza and let Xiaolou eat it with a smile.
Mom always said that when you are sick and your body suffers, your mouth should be sweet and make up for it.
"Guizhi, you're sick too, you can't buy pizza here, I'll make one for you." Jin Xiaolou smiled and groaned, "Your body has suffered, so you will make up for it from your mouth!" ”
"Pizza?" Gui Zhi was confused, "I've never heard of such a snack." ”
"yes." Jin Xiaolou raised his eyebrows, "It just so happens that you can also help me try it to see if you like it, if it tastes good, I will add it to the menu of the restaurant!" ”
