Chapter 21: A False Alarm
Song Ziyu opened his mouth and said: "I know you have heard bad rumors about us in the village, don't blame my second brother for being reckless, his words hurt you, don't be careful to please me, see that you are smart and clever, you know that we can't keep you here, don't worry, when you recover from your injury, if you want to leave, we will never force you to stay, I will return your household registration, and you can go wherever you want to go when the time comes." ”
Lu Caiqing listened, and wondered in his heart, how could he be carefully looked at what he was thinking just now, this person has a sloppy appearance, but his eyes are like torches, fortunately he didn't have a bad heart, otherwise he would really be planted here. How can there be such a good thing, is he stupid? No, and there are a lot of eyes, if I was really stupid, I wouldn't do it. After a few days, he will recover from his injuries, which means that these days, as long as he washes clothes and cooks like Song Ziwu said, he can leave at any time.
There was a burst of joy in his heart, and the restrained expression on his face eased a lot, and after thanking him, Lu Caiqing took a look at this temporary residence, the small courtyard was very smooth and clean, all of them were paved with loess, there was not a single weed, and the back of the house was against the mountain, and there were woods on the left and right, if he was at home alone, would there be any wild beasts, and he shivered when he thought of this.
Song Ziyu saw that she had been outside for a long time and it was a little cold, so he hugged her into the thatched house, and Lu Caiqing came in to understand why the stove was in the side room, it turned out that the house was full of flammable things.
Entering the door is a blue brick wall, which is actually a stone crack of grass and mud grinding, and there are dry grass blades leaking outside, the room does not even have a door curtain, directly enter the house, cross the threshold, and enter the house is a loess mud wall, on which are hung a number of hunting tools, in addition, it is destitute, there are only half of the kang on which three people sleep, three mattresses and a thin luggage roll, it is estimated that Song Zifei has just taken care of it first.
The rest of the half was stacked in a large wooden basin side by side, and the smell of blood filled the nose.
Lu Caiqing frowned, Song Ziyu gently put her on the kang and said, "This condition is at home, you are enduring it for some time, and I will send you away where you want to go when the time comes." ”
"Big brother! I don't want Sister Qing to leave, our family finally told you about your daughter-in-law, don't send her away. ”
"The third! Don't force people to make it difficult, people are also forced to come here, how can you lock people up? Don't mess around and go cooking. Song Ziyu reprimanded him.
Lu Caiqing actually had nowhere else to go, seeing that Song Ziyu was sincerely thinking about himself, he suddenly felt that it was not bad for him to live here.
"Brother Song! Actually, I don't have much to go, let me get acquainted with it, and if I can get used to it, I'll stay and cook and do laundry for you, okay? ”
Song Ziyu raised her eyebrows when she heard her words, she didn't expect her to have this idea, didn't she say that everyone was afraid of their three brothers? Why is this woman not afraid, give her a chance to leave, but she still has to stay.
"Aren't you afraid of us? Or am I too good to you, you are impulsive, this is a demon cave in the eyes of outsiders, and you dare to stay in a place where you eat people. ”
Lu Caiqing has been here for so long, and he also knows the general temperament of the three brothers, and suddenly wants to open it, the eldest is good, the second is honest, and he will not do anything to himself if he has a cleanliness habit in his heart, the third child is two years younger than himself, and he is only ten years old this year, he is a child, the rumors are not credible, this is really true, although such a place is poor, but it is unrestrained, it just happens to be a good place for cultivation, and the fool leaves?
Lu Caiqing thought of this, and laughed beautifully in his heart: "Brother Song! Although I don't know why you are dressed like this, I know that you are good people, and it doesn't matter what the devil cave is, anyway, I won't leave when I come. ”
Lu Caiqing stayed, although he was not very used to it, after all, there was a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and when it was time for dinner, Lu Caiqing ate boiled meat without salt for the first time in his life, and spit it out after just a few bites, and was disgusted enough by Song Ziwu, saying that she was wasting food.
At night, sleeping has become a problem for Lu Caiqing, she originally wanted to sleep with Song Zifei, because he was young and didn't understand anything, but it is said that he still wets the bed until now, so she dispelled her thoughts and went next to Song Ziwu! This made him disgusted, and in the end, Lu Caiqing slept on the kang, next to Song Ziyu, although he was trembling, but there was no way. Then there were Song Ziwu and Song Zifei, and the small kang of the three of them slept with four adults, which was particularly crowded.
Lu Caiqing thought that although it was a bit dangerous to be next to the boss, after all, he was just twenty, and he was at the age of just twenty, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would be impulsive when he slept with a girl for the first time, but thinking about it was better than wetting the bed and disgusting.
The people in the mountains slept early, and after dinner, in order to save money for candles, they took off their clothes and went to sleep directly, Lu Caiqing lay facing the wall, listening to the second child's snoring like thunder, he was already nervous, and now he didn't even count the sheep.
Song Ziyu originally wanted to let Lu Caiqing sleep well and burn the kang hot, but Lu Caiqing was nervous and the kang heat also changed places, and he couldn't sleep, so he had to turn over, lean his back against the wall tightly, his back was cooler, and then gently moved the quilt down.
It was originally a slight move, but I heard it in my ears: "Don't lift it too low, you will catch a cold if the kang is cold in the middle of the night after a while." ”
Lu Caiqing felt that he was talking right in front of him, because the breath of his speech hit his face, and her face turned red, fortunately it was night, and she couldn't see her face, she slowly moved her head back, so that she could get away from him, and she didn't dare to move anymore.
I don't know how long it took, but she felt that the hateful uncle was doing something to herself again, and she was so afraid that she shouted: "Don't! Don't come here! I'll kill you if you come back again! ”
Lu Caiqing felt that he was shouting heartbreakingly, this time he didn't even care about the kind-hearted brother and sister-in-law Li, what should he do? Was it really ruined by him like this, she closed her eyes in despair, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes.
Gradually, she felt that someone was wiping her tears, her mouth was dry and a little blurry, and she reached out and took the hand she wiped and said, "Sister-in-law Li!" No one has been nice to me but you! ”
"No conscience! My eldest brother takes care of you in the middle of the night, why is it not good for you, you are really a heartless girl. Song Ziwu's muttering words made Lu Caiqing gradually return to reality.
I tried to open my eyes and look, the three heads looked at me in unison, my head hurt so much, what's wrong? When I looked up and saw that it was dawn, I struggled to sit up, but I couldn't use any strength in my body.
"Don't move! You've got a fever! It's all my fault, let you sleep on such a hot kang, and you caught a cold in the second half of the night before you got a fever. ”
Only then did Lu Caiqing realize that he had had a dream for a long time, but it turned out to be not real, it was just a false alarm.
