Chapter 49: Punished
The lights went out suddenly, my eyes couldn't adjust to the darkness for a while, I just felt like a blind man at this moment, and I couldn't even find my own quilt to protect myself from the cold! The mood is very irritable, you will spell amazing, pour water out of thin air......
It seemed that something a little heavy was covering me, I touched the quilt that was mine, and then I looked up, and then in the night that was not very clear, I barely saw the snail that was covering me with the quilt, he raised his eyes and looked at me and said, "Wash your feet well!" You should take the fire to roast me, and sit there and pour out the water for washing your feet. ”
...... "I want to say that you are embarrassed to cover me with a quilt, and after hearing this, I want to say that you still wash your feet, but I still feel that he seems to be explaining the reason why he can't come out, and I still don't say anything."
"You're cold?" He asked me when he saw that I was silent, and I nodded.
"Come, let your snail immortal warm you!" He seemed to grin as I saw a mouth full of white teeth shining in the darkness, and he seemed to open his hand as he lifted his sleeve to bring a cool breeze.
"Can you light it up?" I couldn't help but say, I'm not used to being blind in the dark.
"No, it's good to be so dark." This snail seems to be smiling happily? I don't want to look at him too much. Who knew that this guy actually raised his hand around my shoulder and took me in his arms: "How is it?" Warm, right? He asked with a smile. I was about to push it away, but suddenly I felt it, and it was really warm.
"Aren't you ice all year round?" I'm curious, I know that in the summer, he is simply a hot ice cellar, I can't leave him wherever I go, and it's cool to be in a cloth bag!
"I've now regained my physical body, and I naturally have a temperature." He explained softly, and I nodded knowingly.
Then it was quiet again, leaning on him to feel that his body was warm, and people were a little tired, and it was time to sleep on the second watch, thinking about it, I couldn't help but be a little confused. I vaguely heard the sound of rustling, but I didn't have to look at it much, so I just fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was almost midnight, and the smell of rice in the kitchen woke me up, I opened my eyes to see that the quilt was still wrapped around my body, and the snail estimated that it had gone back, I got up and stood by the window and watched the people come and go but no one paid attention to me.
grabbed a little girl and asked angrily: "Sister, why hasn't Granny Wang released me?" ”
"Mother-in-law said, you can only come out when we have all eaten." She answered me honestly, and probably saw my angry look, and she quietly ducked away.
What does that mean, let me go out and pick up leftovers to eat? The stinky snails are all you! I couldn't help but hit the bag again, and finally I felt that it was a waste of strength, so I just sat on the ground and sulked.
I was not able to be released until noon, after lunch, there was almost nothing left in the yard to eat, the third lady went to use it with her wife, the mother-in-law and the girls had their own methods, it seemed that in order to avoid me, there was no food in the kitchen, I barely found half a steamed bun next to the steamer or eaten...... My stomach was really hungry, so I had no choice but to peel off the place I had eaten and prepare to put it in my mouth, and when I got to my mouth, the steamed bun slipped and rolled to the ground. I picked it up and cleaned it up and was about to put it in my mouth, but when I got to my mouth, the steamed bun slipped to the ground again! If you peel it again, you really don't have to eat it, right? I was depressed, or helplessly picked up, not close to it, it rolled into the stove like a long leg, this is good, the whole steamed bun is all ash, although the grass ash is okay to eat, but the taste is really not flattering.
The stomach was hungry, and people didn't have much strength to toss, so they had to sit in front of the stove and look at the black buns in a daze. Although I entered the Meng Mansion to save my life! But looking at this posture, they are planning to torture me to death! There are still two days to sleep in the firewood room, and I may not know what to do for me, and I will not be given food. Is this a new man who is new to me? I'm not going to fight them! Helpless, there is also this steamed bun, when did I provoke it, but it couldn't get into my mouth.
"Ugly girl, open your mouth." Tian Luo's whisper came suddenly, I obediently opened my mouth when I heard the words, by the way to see if anyone around was paying attention, a piece of something flew into my mouth, I chewed, fragrant and glutinous, sweet and tender, it was my favorite osmanthus mung bean cake, I couldn't help but cover my mouth and laugh.
"Delicious, right? I just went to buy it, don't pick up a dirty steamed bun to eat, I have it! He chuckled like a child.
This is almost, I only nodded, afraid of being seen by other girls, buried in the stove, the snail's mung bean cake is also very well hidden, it seems that everyone is not paying attention, secretly moved in the firewood stack by the stove, wrapped in a layer of oil paper and firewood almost a color, do not look closely and almost can't see, we just cooperate, quickly open and shut up, after a while, a box of mung bean cake is not much left, just when I am satisfied to taste the delicious taste in the mouth, a pair of eyes stared at me, I face this pair of eyes, the atmosphere dare not come out, The mouth pretended to puff up, and finally smiled flatteringly.
The housekeeper walked up to me and looked at me, I supported my chin with my hand, and took the opportunity to swallow the remaining few mouthfuls of mung bean cake, before I said calmly: "Hello Granny Wang." ”
She nodded slightly, and finally said lightly: "You're on duty tonight." ”
...... "I'll just say, maybe there's a good way to live......
In the evening, when they had slept serving the third lady, I was let out of the firewood room, and it seemed that they had made up their minds not to let me enter the room to serve, although I had no intention of doing so.
But it's only three o'clock, how can I stay up for a long night. I carried the lantern and watched the candles in the courtyard gradually go out, and I felt very pitiful. I only entered the house yesterday, and the clothes that should be given for daily use have not been placed, I only have an old cotton coat on my body, which is really not cold-resistant in this cold winter wax moon, and the hand holding the lantern is a little stiff, so I simply put down the lantern and gently breathe on my fingers, and it is so long, how to boil......
"Ugly girl, why don't you go to the third lady's house and hide, I'll take care of it outside, and call you if there's something." Tian Luo's voice sounded in my ears, I glanced at Granny Wang's house, although the lights were not on, but I always felt that there were a pair of eyes looking at me, if I ran away at the moment and was caught by her, would I not be driven out of the house directly? Looking back, what the third lady misbehaved was, it was all angry and angry, and it was not an exaggeration to send the official to death. Thinking about it, I gestured to the side of the room and shook my head-I still remember the reason why I came to the Meng Mansion, and I can't do it in vain.
"Then you wait for me." After a while, I vaguely saw the door of the third lady stealing a crack, and a small copper stove slowly moved to my feet from the crack, and the person in front of me could see it, and I would not see anything in the wing, I secretly picked up the copper stove, squatted on the ground and covered it, and a warmth instantly spread......
