Chapter 6: Moments of Happiness
-------------------------------------
The carriage passed through the mountains and forests and came to a remote territory, where there was no one around, and Xu Xiaoxiao stopped the carriage after checking the safety of the surroundings.
"Let's rest here tonight." Xu Xiaoxiao pulled the reins, looked back at Liu Dahua and said.
"Okay, hard girl." After what happened to Fang Cai, Liu Dahua had palpitations, and couldn't help but look left and right, like a frightened bird.
"Grandma Liu, it's okay, don't worry, no one will come here to make trouble." Xu Xiaoxiao saw the uneasiness in Liu Dahua's heart, and stepped forward to gently stroke her back to comfort her, "By the way, call me Xiaoxiao in the future, you are my savior, don't be too polite." ”
"Good, good, good boy." After listening to Xu Xiaoxiao's words, Liu Dahua's sunken eyes were filled with tears, and she put Xu Xiaoxiao's hands in her palms and held them gently.
She saw that Xu Xiaoxiao was a good girl, and she knew about Entu, not only did she not dislike them, but she also protected each other with her life along the way.
After Xu Xiaoxiao comforted Liu Dahua, she hugged Chu Chu and Tie Zhu out of the car, and then helped Liu Dahua get off the car, the car was not high, but her body was too weak, and she might fall down if she was not careful.
The night of the mountain forest is exceptionally quiet, and the cries of birds and beasts make the forest seem particularly infiltrating.
Liu Dahua took off the tarpaulin from the car, and Xu Xiaoxiao found a hidden corner and took out the bracket for building a tent from the space, and the two worked together to put the tarpaulin on the bracket, and the simple tent was built in this way.
The oil lamp was hung outside the tent, and the tent was a mini imitation oil lamp type hanging lamp, and the dark mountains and forests instantly brightened, Liu Dahua cleaned the outdoor tableware with the light, and was busy burning the fire, although the body was weak, but in order not to affect Xu Xiaoxiao, the work at hand did not stop.
"Grandma Liu, open your mouth." Xu Xiaoxiao stuffed a ginseng candy into Liu Dahua's mouth,
Ginseng sugar has the effect of regulating human body functions, Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Liu Dahua's swaying and thin body, worried that she would not be able to endure it, not to mention that after Fang Cai's fright, the blood on her face was obviously a little lighter.
The sudden candy made Liu Dahua's body tremble, the ginseng candy melted in the mouth, bitter and sweet, the taste couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, but after swallowing the stomach, the fatigue of the whole person seemed to have subsided a lot.
"What is this?" Liu Dahua couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Good stuff, it's good for your body to eat it." Xu Xiao blinked mischievously, turned around and took rice and bacon from the car.
Liu Dahua looked at Xu Xiaoxiao's busy back and felt warm in his heart, Chu Chu and Tie Zhu were playing in the tent obediently, without the destruction of the two grinding spirits, Liu Dahua and Xu Xiaoxiao's work progress was much faster.
Open the lid of the cauldron, the fragrance comes to the nose, the rice is sandwiched with the aroma of bacon, bacon is put into the cauldron when cooking rice and steamed together, which can save time and bring the aroma of bacon to the rice.
Xu Xiaoxiao put the bacon on the cutting board and cut it into small pieces, then filled a bowl of rice, and then spread the bacon all over the rice, and handed it to Liu Dahua: "Grandma Liu, you eat first, I'll take the milk to Chu Chu and Tiezhu." ”
Liu Dahua, who was sitting on the stone, looked at the big bowl of rice in front of her and looked sluggish, she never dreamed that she could eat a bowl of fragrant rice in her lifetime, and there was meat on the rice, real meat.
"I'm not hungry, you eat first, I'll just take Chu Chu and Tiezhu in." Liu Dahua swallowed her saliva, held back the hunger in her stomach and pushed the rice in front of Xu Xiaoxiao.
"I'll be angry if you don't eat it." Xu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and pretended to be angry, and snorted lightly.
Liu Dahua doted on Xu Xiaoxiao in front of her, took the rice with a smile, and pulled the rice with tears in her eyes, and the tears of happiness entered her stomach with the rice.
Xu Xiaoxiao got up with satisfaction and picked up the wooden cup and entered the tent, Chu Chu of the tent pulled the iron pillar, the little finger of the lotus root festival pointed to the outside of the tent, his face was red, the iron pillar sat cross-legged like a statue with his hands folded in front of his chest expressionlessly, and he was even more indifferent to Chu Chu's words.
"Here comes the milk, give." Xu Xiaoxiao was in a very good mood when she saw the two little guys, and sat beside them casually and handed the wooden cup in front of them.
Chu Chu excitedly opened his arms and asked for a hug after seeing Xu Xiaoxiao, and kept muttering: "Hug, hug." ”
The moment the soft glutinous body approached Xu Xiaoxiao, her heart was melted instantly, and she held Chu Chu while holding a wooden cup to feed her milk.
"Hey, is there any medicine in the space that makes people grow quickly" Tie Zhu didn't take the milk, but said with a cold face.
'Yes is yes, but when you suddenly grow up, you will be treated as a monster. Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the iron pillar worriedly, and sighed helplessly in his heart, this guy probably wants to grow up quickly because he is unwilling.
'Cut. Tiezhu turned his face to the other side disdainfully, picked up the milk and drank it.
'Tiny, don't be sad, he just hates that he can't protect you now. Chu Chu's chubby little hand caressed Xu Xiaoxiao's face, flashing dark eyes, and his round face was full of worry.
"It's okay, I'm really, really happy to see you again." Xu Xiaoxiao gently held her fleshy little hand in her palm, buried her head in Chu Chuxiao's shoulder, and held back the tears that poured into her eyes, the tip of her nose was red, and her heart was sour.
Tie Zhu drank milk and squinted his eyes after seeing Xu Xiaoxiao and Chu Chu's movements, put down the milk and quickly crawled to Xu Xiaoxiao's side, and continued to cross his legs and hug his chest and close his eyes, his face was cold.
Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing when she looked at the pretending to be a profound iron pillar beside her, opened her arms and hugged the iron pillar in the crook of her arm, the two soft and glutinous bodies were warm and glutinous in her arms, and there had been no peace of mind and happiness at this time for several years, happiness from the inside out.
After eating, Liu Dahua couldn't wait for Xu Xiaoxiao to come out of the tent for a long time, so she got up to check, and after eating candy and rice, she felt that her body had recovered a lot, and she didn't feel dizzy when she got up.
She felt that she could live for a while longer, and she had already regarded Xu Xiaoxiao as her daughter along the way.
"Xiaoxiao, come out and eat quickly, otherwise the food will be cold." Liu Dahua lifted the curtain, bent over and leaned into the tent.
After seeing the three people hugging and sleeping in the blanket, Liu Dahua smiled helplessly, exited the tent and washed other dishes, picked up a lot of firewood around, and kept stuffing firewood into the fire, mainly to prevent the fire from going out, the fire was hot with rice and bacon, she was worried that Xu Xiaoxiao would get up in the middle of the night and be hungry and not be able to eat hot meals.
Xu Xiaoxiao, who woke up, gently put Chu Chu and the iron pillar from his arms, covered them with blankets, glanced at the tent and didn't see Liu Dahua, sighed in his heart, got up and walked outside the tent.
Liu Dahua, who was sitting on the stone, was holding a branch in her hand, the flames in front of her were swaying left and right with the wind, she was drowsy with her head down, her body swayed from side to side from time to time, Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly stepped forward to support Liu Dahua.
"Grandma Liu, why don't you go into the tent and sleep." Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but pat Liu Dahua's back and asked in a low voice.
Liu Dahua woke up from her dream in a daze, saw Xu Xiaoxiao's shadow in the haze, and pointed to the cauldron in front of her: "The rice is still hot, hurry up and eat it, it's delicious if it's hot." ”
"Hey, I know, you hurry into the tent, there are many beasts at night, I'll keep vigil." Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the confused and lovely Liu Dahua in front of her and couldn't help laughing.
The cute act melted her stiff heart, and reminded her of when she was a child, when her grandmother repeatedly heated the food in order to make them eat hot food.
"Okay." Liu Dahua rubbed her eyes and nodded, and after getting up, she explained a sentence before entering the tent with peace of mind, "Call me when you are sleepy." ”
In addition to the rustle of leaves and the cooing of owls in the mountains and forests, the two sounds were entrained, which made people panic when they heard it, Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the location on the tablet, and calculated in her heart how far away her current position was from the position of the bandit leader.
During the previous fight, the crossbow bolt pierced the shoulder of the bandit leader, and although none of the arrows were fatal, the locator remained in his body.
The bandits who attacked them before were obviously not temporarily organized, but small-scale bandits who had been trained for a long time, organized and disciplined, and they were currently encountering a small wave of troops, and they were afraid that the undead leader would come back, and they would not be so easy to deal with if they met again in the north.
And she didn't dare to leave because she was afraid that in the absence of Chu Chu, they would encounter gangsters and beasts, no matter what the situation was, the old and the young would die at any time without restraint.
