Chapter 106 - Matters of the Heart
Is this where people live? Ningxia looked at the exposed roof, the large earthen kang that occupied half of the house, next to the window, and the straw in the house, and a cow in the other room, and the cow dung in the house covered the ground, Ningxia suddenly felt that he had become an animal raised by the people of the village.
The tiger master led them here and left, saying that when he found a way to send Chi Ningfeng away, he would come and call them over immediately.
The grasshopper didn't dislike it, so he took the straw in the house to the big earthen kang, spread it thickly, and then said to Ningxia with a smile, "This is much more comfortable than sleeping on the ground." ”
Ningxia pouted, she naturally knew that when she went out, she had to have a broad heart and be at peace with what happened.
Don't look at Tang Jing's fat, the nearly one-meter-high dirt pit is still quite neat, as soon as he presses the edge of the kang with both hands, his buttocks are hard, and he sits on the kang with a bang.
Ningxia secretly complained in her heart, she could bear everything else, but the damp clothes on her body really made her uncomfortable, it was too damp, there was no dry place on her body with ice, it was cold and uncomfortable, it felt like a knife was scraping her bones, and the shiver was shivering from the bottom of her heart.
Tang Jing was close to the side, pillowed his own arm and fell asleep, Ningxia couldn't sleep, so he sat on the edge of the kang.
The grasshopper was careful, and when she saw Ningxia's pale face and her constantly shaking body, she immediately asked her if she was cold?
Ningxia's lips turned blue, biting her lip and frowning, she nodded at the grasshopper.
The grasshopper immediately said, "Wait, I'll go find Fire." ”
When he went out for a long time and came back, he already had an extra box of matches in his hand. There was a lot of straw in the house, and it was all dry, so it was easy to make a fire.
When the grasshopper started a fire, the smoke choked Tang Jing, he half-leaned out, greeted the grasshopper, and said, "You brainless, what kind of fire are you building in the house, you are not afraid that the house will catch fire." ”
The grasshopper chirped and said, "It's such a broken house, and it's on fire." After speaking, he shouted Ningxia to the fire and roasted.
Ningxia jumped off the pit, squatted by the fire, and was roasted by the fire, which was really much more comfortable. The person was comfortable, and the smile on his face was revealed. In the eyes of the grasshopper, the firelight reflected Ningxia's face red, and the cute appearance was like a small scratch, scratching the softest place on his heart. He couldn't help but smile, looking at Ningxia with such serious eyes.
Straw is different from other firewood, can hold for a long time, this straw is like a piece of paper, a fire quickly burned out, the grasshopper before the fire is extinguished and pulled a large hug of straw, little by little put on the fire, let the straw be ignited slowly, so that there will not be too much smoke.
Roasted by the fire, Ningxia gradually regained its warm feeling, and felt that the clothes on his body began to dry slowly, and they were not so cold and cold.
Ningxia was also afraid that if he found a fire in the house, he would really set other people's houses on fire, and he felt that it was almost wrong, so he said to the grasshopper, "I'm a little sleepy and want to sleep." After the small pile of firewood, put out the fire. After speaking, he sat back on the clay kang, leaned against the wall, and closed his eyes half-sitting.
The grasshopper smiled in response.
Ningxia really felt tired, not only tired, but when he left the fire, he felt cold. She probably knew that she must have been frozen by the wet clothes and caught a cold. She trembled while cursing in her heart for the soulless Tang Jing, which really killed her.
The grasshopper noticed that Ningxia was still trembling, looked at the fire, far away from Ningxia, and thought about making the fire bigger, so that Ningxia could bake the fire even on the earthen kang, and he added a large hug of straw, this time the fire was really big, but he forgot that the earthen kang was also covered with straw, and now the flames were blazing, and a small flame rushed to the edge of the earthen kang, slowly igniting the straw on the earthen kang.
By the time the grasshopper found out, the fire had already burned, and the straw on the kang had already been lit a lot, and he shouted, "It's on fire, hurry up." "While rushing to Ningxia's side, carrying Ningxia and rushing out.
That Tang Jing was already snoring and falling asleep, the grasshopper carried the son of Ningxia out, the fire had already ignited to Tang Jing's trouser leg, roasting him, he didn't know yet, dreaming in his dreams, where did the roast pig come from? When the fire really burned his trouser legs and scalded his flesh, he woke up in pain, and saw that the house had become a sea of fire, and while scolding his grandmother, he had a lot of eyes, and went straight out from the broken window.
His pants were already on, and the first thing he did when he got outside was to scream and quickly take them off.
Ningxia, who had been rescued by the grasshopper over there, shouted at the grasshopper who rushed into the sea of fire again, telling him that Tang Jing had come out, and looking for water to extinguish the fire.
It was eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and the smoke coming out of the house attracted all the neighbors around, many of whom were carrying water to help extinguish the fire. It took a lot of tossing and turning to extinguish the fire, but the broken house with an exposed roof that was already broken was completely finished. The beams of the house had collapsed and everything was down.
He didn't care about his house, nor did he care about his cattle, and when he saw that Ningxia and the others were all safe, he patted his chest and felt deeply comforted.
Chi Ningfeng also came, Tang Jing wanted to get rid of him, but in the end he didn't get rid of him, and before Chi Ningfeng snorted, sneering and scolding him for deserving it. Those who turn their backs on their friends deserve to be roast pigs.
Chi Ningfeng pointed at Tang Jing's nose and sarcastically mocked him, but Tang Jing didn't take it seriously, he really couldn't listen to it anymore, so he approached Chi Ningfeng's ear, gritted his teeth and said something, and then Chi Ningfeng was honest. Looking at Ningxia, it seems that he is beginning to be afraid of something.
This time, Tang Jing's long face was changed, saying that he was jumped out of the window and broke his legs, so Chi Ningfeng carried him.
Chi Ningfeng gritted his teeth for a long time, and after seeing Ningxia looking at him, his eyes became calm, he smiled at Ningxia, and then tried to carry the heavy pig-like Tang Mirror on his back.
Tang Jing's feet were just carried by Chi Ningfeng and just left the ground, and then he heard a "clang", as if the two walls had collapsed, Chi Ningfeng and Tang Jing both fell to the ground, Tang Jing fell the worst, and tasted the taste of the dog gnawing mud. When he got up from the ground in anger, his mouth began to curse, and he didn't stop talking until he arrived at the tiger master's house.
Ningxia is not facing Tang Jing either, she was also hurt by Tang Jing, and she was used by him, not to mention, she really caught a cold at this time, her whole body was chills, and she had a fever.
Nowadays, it is not so difficult to see a doctor in the countryside, and there are barefoot doctors in the villages. The doctors in this village are said to have been from a family of doctors. Grandpa's generation is a famous doctor in ten miles and eight towns, and it has been passed on to his grandson's generation, and I heard that it is even more powerful, and he has treated several terminally ill people. The disease that could not be cured even by a big hospital came to the hands of that doctor, and it was actually rejuvenated and cured.
The young doctor was soon invited by Yu Qian, the granddaughter of the tiger master. After a fever-reducing needle went down, Ningxia sweated all over his body and the fever subsided after he slept for seven or eight hours.
When Ningxia woke up, he saw Tang Jing guarding the bedside, and his eyes were very strange when he looked at her.
While wiping the sweat on his forehead, Ningxia asked Tang Jing, "What's wrong?" Looking at me like a monster? ”
Tang Jing smiled and said, "Are you still confused?" What's the nonsense? ”
Ningxia wrinkled his nose, glanced at Tang Jing, then touched his hungry belly and asked Tang Jing what he wanted to eat.
"I'll have the grasshopper cook for you right away." Tang Jing stood up and walked out.
About half an hour later, Tang Jing came in with a bowl of egg noodles. Said that it is a habit in the countryside that sick people eat this. There was ginger in it, and I ate it to ward off the cold and sweat.
Ningxia's stomach has long been hungry, and everything to eat at this time is delicious.
When she was full and refreshed, she lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed.
I want to breathe in the yard. Before Tang Jing walked out of the house in Ningxia, he shouted Ningxia, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Ningxia glanced at Tang Jing strangely, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say what was wrong.
When she walked out of the inner room and arrived at the hall, the tiger master was sitting on the main seat, napping, sleepy, closed his eyes and knew to pick up the smoke pot and take a few puffs.
Chi Ningfeng and Grasshopper sat on the chairs on the side, their expressions all of them were sad and sad, as if someone was dying.
What's going on, Ningxia feels more and more that something is wrong, she is just sick with a fever, how can she get better, these personal expressions are completely wrong, full of things she doesn't know.
