Chapter 3: Flustered
Ye Chaoyan adjusted his thoughts in time and told Li Jingmo about the situation of his family in his memory, and Li Jingmo wrote it down and went out.
It was already past noon after the cypress was pressed, and Ye Chaoyan's hungry stomach was growling, but he couldn't wait for Li Jingmo to come back. She ran to the kitchen to rummage and found a handful of millet in the jar and a few sweet potatoes thrown on the ground in the corner of the stove.
She knew that rice and sweet potatoes had to be boiled and eaten, but she couldn't make a fire, so she could only look at them and sigh.
It wasn't until the sun set and night fell, and Ye Chaoyan's hungry eyes were dizzy, that he saw Li Jingmo's handsome figure enter the courtyard.
She was sitting on the threshold with her knees crossed, she had never been so happy to see him as at this moment, and at the same time she felt wronged, he was not good to her in the previous life, and she was left at home alone for a day in this life, she was about to starve to death!
Li Jingmo noticed Ye Chaoyan's strange appearance, approached, stood in front of her and leaned over to take a look, "What are you sitting here for?" ”
Ye Chaoyan's lips opened, and his voice was soft and hoarse, "I'm hungry ......"
Li Jingmo twisted his eyebrows, "There is still rice in the tank, you didn't cook it to eat?" ”
Cook you big-headed ghost!
How could the ten fingers of the county lord ever be stained with spring water?
But she knew that now she was not the county lord, and she couldn't really lose her temper with Li Jingmo.
She felt even more aggrieved, her eyes were slightly red, and her nose was sour, "I won't." ”
Li Jingmo's eyes lit up slightly, looking at the girl's slightly curled pink lips in the night, delicate, helpless and pitiful, and confirmed once again that she was really a spoiled baby by the family, and she had to be sent away quickly.
If he doesn't send it away, he won't be able to raise it.
"I'll do it for you." Li Jingmo put down the words and went into the kitchen.
Ye Chaoyan put his hands on his belly, so hungry, he wanted to eat quickly, he missed the delicacies of Chang'an, Hu cakes, wontons, mutton soup, shrimp dumplings, crispy mountains, lion heads...... The more I think about it, the hungrier I get. Li Jingmo lit a fire in the kitchen, boiled rice, walked past her, and walked around the backyard, she didn't even notice.
Until, Li Jingmo came to her with a bowl of fragrant scallion oil noodles, "Come and eat." ”
Ye Chaoyan's eyes lit up and he took a breath.
Li Jingmo shook the noodle on the tip of her nose like a little gluttonous cat, turned around and brought it to the stone table in the courtyard.
Ye Chaoyan hurriedly got up and followed him.
Although it is not as good as Chang'an food, it is so fragrant!
She lifted the chopsticks and pulled them into her mouth, and there were eggs and sesame oil in them!
Ye Chaoyan was a little moved, his pink cheeks were bulging, he raised his head, looked at the handsome face of Li Jingmo sitting opposite by the moonlight, and said sincerely: "Li Jingmo, one day this ...... I'll treat you to a big meal! ”
Li Jingmo laughed, turned around and went back to the kitchen, took out the noodle soup in the pot, and sprinkled some chopped green onions.
He took it out and stood at the door to eat.
Ye Chaoyan asked, "Didn't you have dinner either?" ”
Li Jingmo said lightly, "After eating, these can't be wasted." ”
Ye Chaoyan didn't think much about it.
Li Jingmo said while drinking the soup, "I have already asked someone to carry the letter, but the ox cart is slow, and you have to walk for a day to get to the city, and when that person finds your family's pharmacy, and then your parents come, I'm afraid you will have to stay here for two days." ”
Ye Chaoyan responded while eating.
Li Jingmo drank the soup to the bottom, turned around and went back to the kitchen, glanced at the rice jar, and after boiling porridge for her tomorrow morning, he had to go back to the mansion to ask for rations.
After eating, Ye Chaoyan automatically went back to the house, he knew that Li Jingmo would take a bath outside at night to avoid suspicion.
She has not washed it since she came to him, and she can't get wet now because of the back injury, but she smells sweat on her body, she has never been so sloppy, and she doesn't want Li Jingmo to smell the bad smell on her body.
So, when Li Jingmo came in after washing and changing into a refreshing long shirt, she asked with a red face and wanted to wipe her body.
Li Jingmo wrinkled his eyebrows, but didn't say anything, turned around and went out.
After a while, he came in with water and a wooden basin, and after mixing the water, he looked her up and down, found one of his clothes from the cupboard, and put it on the shelf, "Change your clothes, I'll wash them for you." ”
After saying the second half of the sentence, Li Jingmo frowned and coughed, with a kind of uncomfortable insult on his face.
How could he wash a little girl's clothes? Especially the little clothes inside, it's really ...... Confused.
Ye Chaoyan didn't feel much, the people around her served her, she was already used to it, and she only felt that Li Jingmo's changes in this life were very good, very humane.
Li Jingmo went out and closed the door from the outside.
Ye Chaoyan took off his clothes, picked up a cloth towel and wiped it carefully on his body, thinking to himself, if only there was a big soup pool now, filled with fragrant soup and flower petals......
After wiping his body, Ye Chaoyan changed his clothes and called Li Jingmo in.
Li Jingmo pushed the door and entered, and saw the unwashed girl's clothes on the table...... She took it seriously.
He lowered his head, took out the water and clothes together, and went to the courtyard, taking advantage of the darkness, his eyes were black, and he rubbed his clothes vigorously with soap.
Since he was a child, he has never even washed his mother's clothes.
Alas......
After washing the clothes, Li Jingmo cleaned his hands and noodles and entered the house, Ye Chaoyan was lying on the table holding something and watching, and when he saw him coming in, he smiled and waved to him.
Li Jingmo still had in his mind the shape of the girl's belly pocket that he saw when he hung up his clothes, he shook his head and walked over, but when his eyes inadvertently fell on Ye Chaoyan, he couldn't help but breathe.
His clothes that he couldn't wear out, when it came to Ye Chaoyan, they were loose and saggy, they couldn't be made, they didn't look like them, but there was a natural laziness and charm, especially the low-hanging neckline, the beauty of the girl in development loomed, which made people itch.
Li Jingmo lowered his eyes, thinking to himself, in the fields during the busy farming season, there are many women in the village who work in the fields and show their arms and legs informally, and he has never been as flustered as he is now.
What the hell is wrong with you?
He pursed his thin lips, suppressed all kinds of thoughts in his heart, took his eyes away from Ye Chaoyan lightly, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Ye Chaoyan's hand on the table was taken away at once, and he smiled, "Sui Baixiang is ready!" Do you have an incense burner? ”
Li Jingmo looked at the pile of irregularly shaped incense, nodded, turned to the bookcase by the wall, and found an incense burner.
Ye Chaoyan's eyes lit up when he saw it, "Although your incense burner is not valuable, the workmanship is quite exquisite, it has been around for some years, and it has a certain collection value, is it handed down from the family?" ”
Li Jingmo was secretly surprised, she could even see this.
He nodded and said simply, "Well, the elders of the family have used it." ”
Ye Chaoyan put the incense on the oil lamp, put it in the stove, closed the lid, and in an instant, the white mist curled out along the hollow pattern on the lid, rising in a straight line.
The smell of medicinal fragrance spreads out.
Li Jingmo believed it, this little girl has some ability.
Ye Chaoyan said, "When I leave, you can also use the rest." ”
Li Jingmo glanced at the rest of the incense and asked, "You said that this year-old cypress fragrance can protect the house and repel insects, sterilize and remove dryness, inhale it can clear away heat and dampness, dispel wind and relieve the surface?" ”
Ye Chaoyan nodded seriously.
Li Jingmo's thoughts moved slightly, and her dark eyes looked at her, "Can I send some for my second brother to use?" ”
"Your second brother paralyzed in bed?"
A flash of surprise flashed in Li Jingmo's eyes, "Do you know about my family?" ”
"I heard Aunt Lian mention a few words."
Li Jingmo was a little uncomfortable, and said lightly: "My second brother is bedridden all the year round, his body is damp, and he will have rashes in summer, this incense is suitable for him." ”
Ye Chaoyan pushed the incense to his hand and said generously: "You can give it to him, if he uses it well, I will help make it in the future." ”
Li Jingmo didn't think about the future.
I don't think such a delicate little girl, after she leaves here, she will have contact with him again.
With a warm smile on his face, he took the incense, "Thank you." ”
Early the next morning, after a simple breakfast, Li Jingmo took Sui Baixiang to go to the Li family's old house to see his second brother, Ye Chaoyan was bored at home and wanted to follow, he thought about it for a while and agreed.
The Li family's old house was in the center of the village, and it took a long time to walk, and the gate was hidden, Li Jingmo gently pushed it open, and gave Ye Chaoyan a look for her to lighten it.
The two of them entered the east wing room one after the other, and as soon as they pushed the door open, Ye Chaoyan smelled a strange smell, presumably because Li Jingmo's second brother had been paralyzed for many years and had difficulty moving, and the smell caused by the untimely cleaning of the house.
The man lying on the bed looked to be in his twenties, emaciated and emaciated, holding a book in his hand and looking into the light through the window.
Hearing someone come in, he raised his head with a smile on his face that didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, "San Lang is here." Then, seeing Ye Chaoyan who was following Li Jingmo, he seemed to be ashamed to see the living, and his face was a little uncomfortable, "This is ......"
Li Jingmo introduced sideways, "Second brother, this is the girl I rescued on the mountain, surnamed Ye." ”
Li Wenyuan smiled at Ye Chaoyan, "Miss Ye, let you see you laugh." ”
Ye Chaoyan smiled back and raised his eyebrows at Li Jingmo, "Light the incense." ”
Li Jingmo nodded, took out the cloth wrapped in the cypress incense, and said to Li Wenyuan: "Second brother, this is the incense made by Miss Ye, it is good for you to use it, let your mother burn a piece for you every day." ”
Li Wenyuan said: "Thank you, Miss Ye. ”
After lighting the incense, Li Wenyuan smelled the elegant and refreshing aroma, and couldn't help but glance at Ye Chaoyan more, and the two brothers talked with each other.
Ye Chaoyan listened on the side, always feeling that the atmosphere between the two brothers was weird, she secretly glanced at Li Wenyuan's legs, although through the clothes, it could be seen that they were thinner than ordinary men's legs, and the muscles must have begun to atrophy.
Ye Chaoyan couldn't help but ask, "Second brother, do you still have a sense in your legs?" ”
Li Wenyuan was stunned for a moment.
Li Jingmo said: "Second brother, Miss Ye's family is a doctor. Then, with hope hidden in his eyes, he asked Ye Chaoyan, "Do you understand this?" ”
Ye Chaoyan said: "You can only know by looking." ”
Li Wenyuan naturally hoped that he could get better, so he answered Ye Chaoyan's question 1510, saying that he had no feeling in his legs all along, but he felt a vague pain when he pinched hard, and he didn't know if it was because of the hot weather recently, and he would feel swollen from time to time.
Ye Chaoyan inquired carefully and learned that Li Wenyuan was beaten by robbers three years ago, fell on a stone, and hit the ground with his back, probably injuring his spine.
