Chapter 4 Mother and Daughter Are Widows
Hearing Pan'er's words, Lin's face showed hesitation, as Pan'er said, you can't watch a big living person die in front of your eyes, and it's nothing to recuperate at home for a while, it's just that both their mother and daughter are widows, and their reputation is not good, as the saying goes, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and if a big man lives at home, the people in the village must have some gossip.
However, compared with reputation, which is more important than human life, the Lin family can also carry it clearly, seeing that the Lin family was a little shaken, Pan'er hurriedly persuaded a few words, and the Lin family nodded at this time, which can be regarded as a matter of time.
As early as on the way back, Pan'er discussed with the man and asked him to pretend to be unconscious and borrow it at the Lin family. Pan'er didn't know the man's identity, he only knew that his surname was Chu, this person didn't care about the money bag at all, and he didn't ask for it after Pan'er took it.
Now that there is no rice in the house, Pan'er took the smallest piece of broken silver from the money bag, and pondered to buy some firewood, rice, oil, salt and other things, otherwise this day will not be able to go on, as for the soft clothes and the like, there are still in the house, what the two of them lack most is food, even though the Lin family has good craftsmanship, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and there is no seasoning to make delicious pickles, which is tantamount to a fantasy.
When Pan'er went out to buy food, she had already thought of a rhetoric, when the Lin family moved to Shiqiao Village before, she still had some silver in her hand, and she was considered a rich family in Shiqiao Village, but because the mother and daughter couldn't do rough work, and Lin's body was sick and weak, they spent all the money over the years.
But if there is still a little bit left, I think the people in the village will believe it.
Pan'er held half a tael of broken silver in her hand, every household in the village had land, and the grain was naturally not expensive, she went directly to an honest family, bought two catties of white noodles, two catties of rice, and then bought some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and other seasonings, these things added up, and it only cost a hundred Wen in total.
Because there was no firewood at home for a long time, a cart of firewood cost 20 yuan, and the village knew that the two of them were having a hard time, and they didn't plan to pit them, so a cart of firewood was pulled to the Lin family and helped move it to the warehouse. After everything was bought, Pan'er returned home, drank the medicine for so many days, and was nourished by spring water, Lin's illness had already healed, although his body and bones were still a little weak, but it was difficult for Lin to make a fire and cook.
Pushed into the house by the Lin family, Pan'er pondered to buy another old hen, and after putting it in the pot to stew, it can also replenish the Lin family's body, but the sun is about to set, and it is too late to buy it again today, it is better to talk about it tomorrow, in addition to the old hen, you can also feed some chicks at home, and after a few months of growth, you can also sell some silver in the town.
Lin quickly cooked the meal, rice and millet mixed together to boil porridge, fragrant and glutinous, although there is only one dish of big leaf celery at home, but Lin made several kinds of side dishes, a plate of stir-fried, a plate of cold salad, and a plate of blanched with water and then dipped in sauce to eat, these three dishes are a lot of portions, Lin set aside a clean plate, let Pan'er bring it into the house, for the man to eat.
Pan'er couldn't wait for the surname Chu to starve to death, thinking that the man pressed her on the grass, wantonly pinched her breasts, and grinded the white and tender skin and flesh into red and painful, Pan'er was shocked and angry, but in front of the Lin family, she couldn't show it at all, so she could only enter the house with food.
Chu Liang lay on his back on the bed, he didn't have to look up, he just heard the footsteps and knew that Pan'er was coming.
The wooden door was tightly closed, and Pan'er put the food on the wooden table, not daring to approach the bedside, but only called in a low voice: "Master Chu, come and eat something." ”
Turned over and got out of bed, because he was seriously injured, Chu Liang was naked at the moment, revealing his strong tendon flesh, and his body was covered with scars, the one on his chest was the most serious, although there was no blood now, but the pale pink flesh that was exposed proved that the wound was newly grown and could burst at any time.
As soon as he saw the green dishes on the table, Chu Liang's face was gloomy, he had always been a person who had no meat and was unhappy, and now the food on the table was not a little fishy, and he didn't want to use chopsticks at all.
Feeling the evil aura on the man's body, Pan'er silently took a step back and whispered: "There is no other food at home, I will go out to buy it tomorrow, and Mr. Chu will ...... first."
Chu Liang didn't say anything, but proved his mind with his actions, he hugged Pan'er's waist, held the little woman in his arms, his arms were like iron hoops, and he firmly refused to let go of half a point, even if Pan'er tried to eat milk, she couldn't struggle, she immediately panicked, and screamed: "Young Master Chu, what are you going to do?" ”
Chu Liang was reluctant to do anything with a woman, and looked at the woman in front of him expressionlessly, as if looking at an object, and only said one word:
"Cry."
Pan'er couldn't cry at all, she only looked at Chu Liang with a flushed face.
The man's face was impatient, and when he stretched out his hand, the tie was torn apart, as if peeling a zongzi, and the clothes were peeled off layer by layer, leaving only a snow-white obscene garment, wrapping the girl's delicate figure, even if it was not revealed, but the two soft flesh on the woman's chest were swollen and trembling, clinging to a thin layer of clothing, and at the moment it was trembling with her body, and the scenery was very attractive.
Pan'er was frightened, for fear that this person would do something worse, and tears immediately welled up in Xinghe's eyes, and the spring water also flowed out.
In the past few days, Pan'er has drunk a lot of spring water, and even a few drops will be added when taking a bath, the skin on her body is more smooth and delicate than in the past, and there is a faint fragrance on her body, as sweet and sweet as spring water, Chu Liang did not continue, there was a woman's crying whimper in her ears, her thin lips were close to Pan'er's eyebrows, and the spring water gushing out of her stomach was drunk, and the rest was applied to the wound on her chest.
Seeing that there were still two drops left, Chu Liang applied it to Pan'er's eyelids, and waited until the redness and swelling disappeared before letting the person go.
When she came out of the house, when the mother and daughter were eating, Pan'er's nose couldn't help but feel a little sore, and her eyes were very hot, but she didn't dare to cry, and held back her tears, for fear that Lin would find out that she was being bullied.
After eating, Lin brushed the dishes in the kitchen, while Pan'er boiled hot water on the stove, the mother and daughter had not taken a bath for several days, although it was only May, but the house was very hot, and there was a lot of sweat on the body, which was sticky and uncomfortable.
The boiled water Lin took a bath first, and then Pan'er poured the water, moved the wooden bucket into his room, pinched his arm and poured two drops of spring water, poured it into the bath water, and then jumped into the wooden bucket, reached out and washed his face first, and then washed the greasy hair with soap.
Soaking in the hot water, Pan'er didn't want to move, she closed her eyes, the water vapor steamed, her little face was flushed, although the scar on the left side of her face was still black and steep, but the skin and flesh under the scar were a little itchy, at first Pan'er thought it was her own illusion, but thinking about the magic of the spring, her eyelids couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The spring water has a miraculous effect, can the scars on your face be healed?
There is no woman in the world who does not love beauty, Pan'er is fourteen this year, and she is also a big girl in the Daye Dynasty, she saw the ugly scar on the left side of her face, because of this scar, she didn't know how many grievances she suffered, after being kicked out of the house by the Qi family, she was bullied to beg on the street, if there was no scar, how many should there be?
The more Pan'er thought about it, the more excited she became, her eyes were red, and she began to cry, her little hand skillfully caught the spring water, and Pan'er smeared the spring water on the left side of her face little by little, and when she was smeared all over it, the itching sensation became more and more obvious.
Crawling out of the barrel, Pan'er couldn't wait to see her face, ran to the bronze mirror, Pan'er looked at her face, and found that the scar was still in its original position, and it hadn't changed at all, she couldn't help but be a little discouraged, she had been disfigured for a full eleven years, and the spring water might not be useful for old injuries.
Thinking of this, Pan'er wanted to cry even more, she reached out to wipe her eyes, she might as well touch the scar on her face, the black scar that was originally as strong as a turtle shell, but now it has become much softer.
The little girl held her breath, her little face was getting closer and closer to the bronze mirror, a pair of big eyes stared at the black scar in the bronze mirror, reached out and pressed it, and the slight tingling sensation made Pan'er smile.
There are feelings.
Feeling it means that her scars are gradually recovering, Pan'er found this, she couldn't close her mouth, she knew that she couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, her face had been ruined for eleven years, and she wanted to remove the scars, it was definitely not something that could be done in a day or two, Pan'er became more and more determined, with a smirk on her face, she poured out the cold water in the barrel, and after all was cleaned up, she went to bed.
There are many families in the village who raise chickens, and when the chickens crow, Pan'er rises.
After washing her face with well water, Pan'er began to apply spring water to her face in front of the bronze mirror, she pondered that she wanted to get a small porcelain bottle out and collect some spring water, otherwise she would have to make herself cry when she needed it, and at this moment, Pan'er also understood that the reason why the surnamed Chu was so light on her was to make her bully cry and make spring water to treat him.
If you can fill the spring water with a porcelain bottle, and the person surnamed Chu asks for it again, you can give him the porcelain bottle, and this person will always do shameless bastard things.
There is no suitable porcelain bottle at home, Pan'er is not in a hurry, after eating the breakfast made by Lin's, and sending food to Chu Liang who stayed in the room, she brought a piece of broken silver out of the door, she discussed with Lin before, Lin also agreed to raise chickens at home, chicken cubs are not expensive, their family is still close to the mountain, as long as the chicken is well encircled, not let the weasel eat, this is equivalent to a business without capital.
Pan'er went to the house of the person who bought firewood before, their chickens are the most spiritual, although an old hen is not cheap, but it is very replenishing, Pan'er bought twenty chicks, two roosters, eighteen hens, and an old hen, adding up to a total of 100 yuan.
Carrying the chicken back to the house, Pan'er carefully threaded the remaining copper coins with cotton thread, counted out a hanging of money, and pondered to return it to Grandma Qi, Grandma Qi had saved up the money for so many years, if she didn't pay it back soon, Pan'er was always a little awkward in her heart.
