Chapter Sixty-Nine: More Than One Curse
When he opened his eyes for the second time, Lin Xiangxiang was lying on a dilapidated bed, covered with a quilt with several patches.
She looked around, it was a very simple room, except for a bed, there was only an old cabinet, made of ordinary wood, the surface of the paint was worn out, and it looked like it had been used for many years.
Looking through the window, a clay pot was sitting on a stove outside the house, steaming hot.
A very poor family, even the crockpot is missing a opening.
Lin Xiangxiang had recovered his strength at this time and could move on the ground.
She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and just then the owner of the house came in through the door, with a bowl of soup in his hand, which was the soup in the crockpot.
"Old man, are you awake?" Wu Ashun handed the decoction to Lin Xiangxiang, with a simple smile on his thin face.
Lin Xiangxiang stretched out his hand to take the decoction and raised his hand to look at the man in front of him.
The appearance is upright, but the appearance is only sixteen or seventeen years old.
It's just that he is too thin, his cheeks are so thin that he is sunken, a pair of Danfeng eyes are full of brilliance, a pair of straight eyebrows look upright, and under the high bridge of the nose is a lip that is not thin or thick, but it seems that the whole person is a little loyal and honest.
It's just that the clothes on this person's body are too shabby, back and forth, and I don't know how many times they have been sewn and repaired, but fortunately, they are still clean and don't look like a beggar.
"Did you save me?" A sensitive and hoarse voice came from Lin Xiangxiang's mouth, but her eyes were like a teenage girl, dark and smart, exuding a dazzling light.
Wu Ashun was stunned, thinking that he was stunned, and he actually felt that an old man who was over the age of sixtieth birthday had extremely good-looking eyes.
"My name is Wu Ashun, I saw you faint on the ground when I went to the mountain to chop firewood yesterday, and then I carried you back, do you remember where your family is?" Wu Ashun lowered his eyes and asked in a gentle tone.
"My name is ...... I...... My name is ......" Lin Xiangxiang was shocked to realize that she couldn't call her name anyway, and whenever she wanted to say the three words "Lin Xiangxiang", her throat seemed to be choked, and she couldn't even pronounce a word.
Wu Ashun looked at her strangely, seeing that her mouth kept opening and she couldn't say a complete word, and fine sweat oozed from her anxious forehead, as if she was very uncomfortable.
"Old man, don't worry, if you really don't want to say it, it's okay." Wu Ashun hurriedly comforted her.
Lin Xiangxiang will be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and there will be suffering.
It turned out that Hua Xuewu not only put a spell on her, which would even deprive her of her name.
Lin Xiangxiang raised a pair of smart and shining eyes and looked at Wu Ashun, his eyes were full of helplessness and pain.
She didn't want to tell him that her name was Lin Xiangxiang, and she wanted to find the fox Chitose, but now, she couldn't even say her name.
"I ...... My name is...... My name is Mengyue! Xu is compromised, Lin Xiangxiang blurted out two words!
Except that the spell on her body has not been lifted, she will be called Mengyue for the time being.
After speaking, she sat on the bed in a daze, dying, and her eyes became gloomy.
How can it be good now, I finally got out of the Demon Sealing Monument, but now I have changed my appearance and name, where are I going to find Fox Chitose now.
Also, tell Fox Chitose that everything was framed by Hanayuki Mai, will he be on his side?
After all, he and Hua Xuewu are also friends in trouble, and he still owes her a tail, so he won't stand on her side because of reason, right?
To him, she might just be a cook.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiangxiang became more and more depressed.
Seeing this, Wu Ashun didn't ask any more questions, and gently closed the door, wanting this "old man" to rest for a while.
Lin Xiangxiang didn't drink the decoction that was put aside, because she wasn't sick, she was just too tired, and she would have recovered.
Wu Ah Shun had just gone out for a short time when the door was opened again.
Lin Xiangxiang thought it was the honest and honest Wu Ashun, and when he looked up, it turned out to be a five or six-year-old girl, who was well-behaved, smart, with round and cute eyes, wearing a flower cotton jacket with a few patches, tilting his head and standing by the bed to look at Lin Xiangxiang.
Lin Xiangxiang smiled dumbly, looking at the ignorant and cute little girl in front of him, he couldn't help but like it.
"Little sister, what's your name?" Lin Xiangxiang waved her over, and her tone was as gentle as a loving mother.
The little girl took a few steps back in fear, perhaps frightened by the way she looked now.
Lin Xiangxiang's hand stopped in mid-air, a little embarrassed.
Yes, it's normal for her to scare children like this now.
Lin Xiangxiang consciously stopped talking to the little girl, and only looked at her quietly.
On the contrary, this little girl, although she was still very afraid of her, walked to the cabinet obediently, picked up the bowl of boiled black medicinal soup, handed it to Lin Xiangxiang, and said in a childish childish voice: "My brother said let me take good care of you, drink this bowl of medicine, and your body will be fine." ”
Lin Xiangxiang looked at her with a shallow smile, and his affection was even greater.
"I'm fine, I don't need to drink this." Lin Xiangxiang shook his head lightly, trying to keep his voice as low as possible, so as not to scare her again.
The little girl held the bowl and pestle in place, at a loss.
My brother confessed that he must let this old grandmother drink medicine.
But this grandmother is disobedient, she doesn't like to drink this bitter thing like her, and I don't know if my brother will be angry when he comes back?
Thinking like this, the little girl's mouth pursed slightly, looking like she wanted to cry.
She doesn't want her brother to be angry, her brother is already working hard, and she really wants to do a good job of what her brother has explained.
But now I can't do this little thing.
Lin Xiangxiang caught a glimpse of the loss in the little girl's eyes, and a sense of self-blame arose.
Anyway, this is all a piece of people's hearts, how can she be embarrassed to refuse?
Lin Xiangxiang hurriedly changed his words and said, "I...... Now I feel that my body still needs to recover again, give me the bowl of medicine, and I will drink it. ”
She can't let such a cute little girl be lost, not even a little!
Hearing this, the little girl turned from sadness to joy, and was no longer afraid of Lin Xiangxiang's appearance, so she hurriedly handed the decoction in her hand to Lin Xiangxiang, and said in her mouth: "My name is Wu Anle, Daddy took it for me, and he said that he hoped I would be safe and happy." ”
Lin Xiangxiang smiled, her smart and bright eyes looked even better, which attracted the little girl's mouth to praise: "Grandma, your eyes are so good-looking." ”
Lin Xiangxiang smiled, took the decoction in Wu Anle's hand, and a pungent smell of medicine came to his face.
Just smelling bitter and looking even more bitter.
Looking at Wu Anle's expectant look again, Lin Xiangxiang pinched his nose and drank the medicine in one gulp......
Ahh
It's even more bitter to drink!
Lin Xiangxiang tasted the taste of this medicine in one bite - Banlan root!
In the 21st century, drinking this thing is all about one point of blue root and three points of sugar, which is like now, there is no sugar at all.
Wu Anle saw that she obediently drank the medicine, and a bright smile bloomed on her face, and she was no longer restrained, and said in a glutinous voice: "This herb dug by my brother is the most bitter, every time I have a fever and illness, I have to drink this medicine, but if I drink it, it will be fine." ”
It is indeed very bitter, so bitter that Lin Xiangxiang's whole face is like a bitter gourd, but the effect can only be used as a heat clearing and reducing fire, and there is no great curative effect.
"Do you get sick often?" Lin Xiangxiang couldn't imagine how difficult it would be to have a child who was sick all the year round in such a poor family.
"Well, my brother said, I'm not in good health, I have to take medicine every day, if I don't take medicine well, I will be out of breath, and suddenly I will die in one day." The little girl spoke very easily, and her face was full of childishness and innocence.
"Where's your daddy and aunt?" Lin Xiangxiang felt strange, as if he hadn't seen the adults of this family.
"Daddy had the same illness as me, and died very early, and Auntie didn't want me to go with my brother and an uncle three years ago."
Lin Xiangxiang was stunned, this little girl should have a heart attack, and it is a family genetic disease!
This kind of disease should be a terminal illness in this era, after all, even the doctors of the 21st century are helpless!
Her mother must have remarried, but the poor two lonely children became helpless orphans like her......
