Chapter 136: Light in the Darkness
, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the pet farmer little girl! Desolate suburbs, unknown Zhuangzi, unknown courtyard.
An Xiu'er was also lying on the bed, from day to night, and Mama's stories were over and over again, there were no new tricks, she had already told that there was no story to tell, but there was still no one in this courtyard.
An Xiu'er originally wanted to wait for someone to deliver the meal, but in the evening, when she was too hungry, she realized that she was thinking too much.
This strange place made her suffer a lot, but she still had children, and she didn't want to starve her children, but Wu was really ruthless, and she didn't even prepare food for her, could it be that she really planned to starve her to death?
She didn't think so.
After lying on the bed for a long time, getting up from the bed at this moment, An Xiu'er's mind was extremely clear.
"I'll look for anything to eat." "They don't bring me food, maybe it's to make us self-reliant, I guess there will be a small kitchen here," Ann said. ”
"You stay here, I'll go and see." Mama said, she got up neatly, put on her shoes, and instructed Banxia: "Take care of Madame, I'll go out to find out." ”
"Hey, be careful." Banxia said to Mama.
Mama went out in the dark, only An Xiu'er and her were left in the dark room, Banxia was younger than An Xiu'er, she was a little scared, and she was closer to An Xiu'er.
An Xiu'er soothed: "Don't be afraid. ”
"I'm not afraid." Banxia replied that if her voice didn't tremble, it might have been more convincing.
"There's nothing to be afraid of, Mama will be back later." An Xiu'er said a word, she reached out to touch her hand, intending to give her a little strength, but as soon as her hand reached over, Banxia immediately retracted her hand, her body trembled, and she whispered, "What is it?" ”
An Xiu'er grabbed her hand, "You little girl, you are so timid." ”
"When I was in the house before, there were lanterns at night, even if I slept in the outer room with my wife, there was always a candle outside, and I really didn't stay in this dark environment." Banxia took An Xiu'er's hand and asked, "How long are we going to stay here?" ”
"I don't know." An Xiu'er shook her head, if she could, she naturally didn't want to stay for a moment.
"It's a pity that he didn't know we were here, but he should come back to look for us, if he can't find us, then we won't stay here for the rest of our lives, right?" Banxia was about to cry when she thought about it.
"No, don't talk nonsense." An Xiu'er said that some people want her to stay here for the rest of her life, but if no one comes to save her, she will definitely find a way to escape.
"But......" Banxia wanted to speak and stopped, seeing that An Xiu'er's old god was still there, she also settled down and didn't say anything more.
The two of them stayed quietly in this dark room, silent, the wind outside whined, like a ghost crying, crying like a very scary, inside the room, quiet and even able to hear their own breathing.
An Xiu'er is actually the most afraid of the dark, she is not a very bold girl, but she knows that it is useless to be afraid, and when she thinks that the child in her belly is accompanying her, she is not afraid, she is about to be a mother, and she has to set a good example for the child.
In fact, the reason why people are afraid of the darkness is not the darkness itself, but the unknown things in the darkness, such as the sound of footsteps in the darkness.
The soft voice, as if something was walking by on his heels, if you don't feel scared during the day, but because it's night, it's a little infiltrating.
Banxia, who was still saying that she was not afraid just now, hugged An Xiu'er's arm, and An Xiu'er saw the light outside the house, and she also tensed up her body and pricked up her ears.
The door was pushed open, and a familiar voice came, but it was Mama, who was holding a hemp pole in her hand, and walked towards An Xiu'er and the two, her tone was more relaxed, "There is a small kitchen in the back, and there is firewood and rice noodles in the kitchen." ”
"Then we can cook and eat." Banxia said happily.
Mama reprimanded her and said, "You know how to eat all day long, I asked you to look for charcoal before, you said no, this firewood for fire, isn't it charcoal?" ”
"Mama, don't blame, I didn't think of it that much, I didn't go to that house." Banxia whispered.
At that time, she only looked for the main room and the wing room on the left and right, and she didn't even go to the back.
"Well, now I don't have time to worry about you, I boiled water in the kitchen, let's all go and warm up from the kitchen, where I have a fire." Mama said.
An Xiu'er got out of bed, she put on her shoes and socks squirmingly, and the grandmother on the side saw the indifferent Banxia, so she said again, "Banxia, you are slower than Mrs., it's really unruly." ”
"Madame has said that in special circumstances, you don't have to care about those rules." Banxia said playfully, and after putting on shoes and socks, the three of them walked to the backyard kitchen together.
Mama walked in front with a hemp pole, Banxia helped An Xiu'er to walk behind, she still supported her at first, but when she went out, she became tightly holding her arm, her strength was a little big, An Xiu'er was a little painful, she looked sideways at the owner of her arm, and saw her scared look, so she didn't make a sound.
This yard is so big, the small kitchen is at the back of the main house, even if you go around the main house to the small kitchen, you have only walked a few dozen steps.
In the kitchen, Mama has already lit a fire in the stove, and at this moment the kitchen is indeed warmer than elsewhere.
"Sit, ma'am." Mama found a small stool in front of the stove and motioned for An Xiu'er to sit down, she went to the stove by herself with a handful of firewood, and said: "I'll go find a basin, wait for you to soak your feet to warm up, although it is not as good as the hot spring at home, but now we are in this place, we can only barely force it." ”
"It's okay." An Xiu'er shook her head and said, "I can afford to suffer. ”
"I've wronged you." Mama said and asked Banxia to take care of An Xiu'er, and went out to find a wooden basin again.
When she found a wooden basin and came back, the water was already quite hot, she brought water to An Xiu'er to soak her feet, but she was busy and planned to make a bowl of noodles.
"Banxia, Mama is busy, you go and help make the fire." An Xiu'er instructed Banxia Dao beside her that she didn't need her to serve at the moment.
Banxia heard the words and went to the stove, Mama told her to make the fire bigger, she only added firewood to the stove, and in an instant there was smoke in the house, Mama hurriedly asked her to blow with a blowtorch, she was good, blowing the ashes on her face.
Mama couldn't laugh or cry, so she motioned for her to stand aside and save the fire herself.
An Xiu'er looked at Banxia's big flower face and couldn't cry or laugh, "Banxia, haven't you even burned a fire?" ”
Banxia shook her head, "Never." ”
"You can't be that you haven't been in the kitchen, have you?" An Xiu'er said: "Have you ever done housework? ”
"Doing housework?" Banxia was a little puzzled by the word housework, and only said: "What is doing housework?" Is it just doing the menial work? I've been in the kitchen, but I've usually gone to deliver food, and by the way, I haven't done it myself. ”
"Rough work." An Xiu'er chewed on these two words.
Banxia said: "Yes, there are special maids to do these sweeping work, and as the big maid next to my wife, my main responsibility is to take care of my wife and make my wife happy, so I don't have to do those rough jobs." ”
An Xiu'er laughed self-deprecatingly when she saw her natural appearance, it turned out that the Wu family didn't like her, it seemed to be true, she couldn't even compare to a slightly better maid in the Zhang family, and the maid didn't touch the spring water with her fingers.
"It used to be before, but now that we are not in the Zhang family, and there is no rough girl for you to call, you have to learn to do these tasks, otherwise, do you still plan to let Mrs. do it?" Mama said unhappily.
"I didn't say no, I'll learn." Banxia said, she is the big girl next to An Xiu'er, even in the Zhang family, this grandmother is just on an equal footing with her, and she is not qualified to teach her, but her age is there, and Banxia will listen to her.
"Okay, don't talk about this, we don't know how long we're going to stay here, let's do these jobs together in the future." An Xiu'er said: "If I can, I will also help." ”
"If you can do it, we will do some sweeping work at most, and cook by the way, maybe they forgot about us today, and someone will come over tomorrow." Mama said as she put a handful of noodles into the pot.
After cooking for a while, she fished out the noodles, and found some sauce in the cabinet, she directly mixed the sauce into the noodles, put some salt, stirred it, and put a bowl of noodles in front of An Xiu'er, "Madam must be hungry, eat." ”
An Xiu'er took the bowl and frowned: "Mama, how do you make a bowl?" ”
"When you eat, we'll cook it." Mama said.
She is a person who respects rules, she feels that although An Xiuer is down, but the more this time, the more she must maintain a good character, and not expose her true nature and be disrespectful to her master because she has encountered something bad now.
An Xiu'er knew what kind of person Mama was, and after persuading her, she gave up and only stared at the noodles in her hand.
She tossed two of them and ate them in large gulps.
The strange thing is that there was a time when she felt tasteless when she ate exquisite dishes, but this bowl of noodles actually awakened the long-lost feeling in her heart, and she felt that this bowl of noodles was very delicious.
An Xiu'er took a big bite to eat, it didn't look very elegant, it was almost like gobbling it up, when she got up, she was still chewing the two noodles that she didn't swallow in the end, so she stretched her arms with satisfaction, and said, "It's so delicious, it looks like my mother made it." ”
"It's just a simple mess, where is it called delicious." Mama said modestly, "Madam, you are too hungry. ”
"Perhaps." An Xiu'er said a word, buried her head and continued to eat noodles.
