Chapter 616: The Door of Memory
"Hey, do you know I'm a medicine woman? What did the black skin tell you? That gentle voice sounded again, this time closer to Huo Yu.
Huo Yu was eager to see her appearance, and he tried to open his eyes wide: "I...... Thirsty ......"
"Wait a minute, you're overthirsty, you can't drink water right away, I moistened your throat when you were unconscious just now, you wait a minute, the water will be boiled immediately." Ah Yaopo said with a smile.
"Good ......" Huo Yu is not in a hurry, he has been waiting for twenty years, why not wait a little longer?
Although he was badly wounded, his eyes and ears were still working, and he pricked up his ears to listen to the sounds around him, the waves crashing against the reef, the low-flying seagulls chirping once or twice, and the fire scorching the woodwood.
Huo Yu suddenly found that he actually felt warmth and peace of mind from this otherwise harsh environment.
He was silent, listening to the world with his heart and ears.
After a long time, Ah Yaopo's voice sounded again: "Okay, okay, the water is boiled, I added medicinal herbs to it." ”
At this time, Huo Yu saw a large porcelain bowl, and the hand holding the bowl was also rough, and the owner of that hand was carefully blowing the water in the soup spoon and sending it to Huo Yu's mouth: "I know your lips hurt, don't worry, lick it with your tongue, hey, that's right, that's it, come, drink another spoonful." ”
Huo Yu's eyes blurred, human memory is really a magical thing, you think that some things have been forgotten and have long been sealed in time, but suddenly one day, a person, an action, a word, a spoonful of water, will open the door to memory for you, and the dusty past will be like a surging sea, rushing out, out of control.
He remembered that when he was a child, he didn't like all the soup and water, whether it was porridge or soup, he didn't like to drink it, and whenever at this time his mother would feed it to his mouth spoonful, as now, and he was naughty, pursed his lips and said that he would not open his mouth, and his mother said: Then stick out your tongue and lick it with your tongue, just like a little cat.
Whenever this happens, he will learn from the little flower cat to stick out her little tongue, lick it lightly, and then take an exaggerated sip to drink all the soup in his mother's spoon.
Huo Yu's lips cracked one after another, but he still opened his mouth wide as he did when he was a child, and he took a sip and drank the soup in the spoon.
He felt the hand holding the spoon tremble, and with a thud, the porcelain spoon fell to the ground and shattered in two.
The next moment, Huo Yu finally saw that face, the face that haunted the soul, the face that had long been unrecognizable.
That face was covered with scars, Huo Yu heard Xiao Yu say that Ah Yaopo scratched his face with a shell, and with his medical skills, he protected himself and did not become the plaything of those people.
But it's one thing to know, it's another to see it with your own eyes. Seeing this scarred face, Huo Yu's heart was like a knife.
He came too late and knew too late.
He wanted to open his mouth to call his mother, but suddenly, he heard footsteps from far and near, Huo Yu opened his mouth and screamed twice.
Then he heard the voice of the black skin: "The hard bones of the shit, such a little injury hurts so much that the ghost cries wolf, why did the eleventh master take a fancy to you." ”
Ah Yaopo was a little dissatisfied, and said angrily: "Heipi, last time you broke your leg, when I gave you a bone, you shouted louder than him, which scared the seagulls, and I haven't come here for a month." ”
Heipi was a little embarrassed, and touched his head: "Ah Yaopo, I have a broken leg, you look at him, it's just some skin trauma, just like a girl, shouting and screaming." ”
Ah Yaopo glared at him and pointed to the casserole on the side: "That's what I just cooked, adding herbs can dispel dampness, you go drink a bowl." ”
"Hehe, okay, thank you Ah Yaopo, just tell me what medicinal materials you lack, I'll go ashore another day and bring you back." Blackskin said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll write it down for you when you go back, and remember to buy it for me when you go ashore, just tell the beard steward how much money you use, let him give you the money, but you can't rob it for nothing, it's not easy to sell medicine, and you have to live."
"Got it, got it, Ah Yaopo, no wonder they all say you're just bad."
"If I wasn't rotten and kind, who would have connected your legs for you?" Ah Yaopo said angrily, even so, her voice was still very gentle.
Heipi laughed dryly, scooped a bowl of dehumidified soup, and drank it with a slurp.
After drinking the soup, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said to Ah Yaopo: "The eleventh master said, put this kid here first, let you treat him well, this is the person that the eleventh master likes, I will come to pick him up in a few days." ”
"A few days won't work, and his injury will take twenty days." Ah Yaopo said.
"How is that possible for so many days? It didn't take me that long to break my leg. ”
"Nonsense, you last lay down for two months."
Heipi laughed dryly: "Okay, okay, then twenty days, I'll pick him up in twenty days." ”
Before the black skin could finish speaking, he had already jumped on the small sampan and rowed away on the sampan by himself.
Huo Yu lay on the warm stone, struggling to sit up again. Ah Yaopo held him down: "Young man, don't blame me for telling the truth, you are not a person in this sea, the black skin can suffer from them, you can't stand it, if you don't listen to persuasion, your body and bones will not be able to support it, and you will suffer when you are old." ”
Huo Yu listened quietly to Ah Yaopo's nagging, but he was still distracted and paying attention to the movements around him, and finally he couldn't hear anyone coming, so he said softly: "Bao...... Stay ......"
Ah Yaopo was startled again, she suddenly remembered the action that made her lose her shape just now, and her thoughts were disturbed by the black skin at that time, but at this moment, she looked at the young man in front of her in surprise again.
"What were you talking about?"
"Keep it." Huo Yu repeated.
"Say it again."
"Keep it, I'm keep it, Huo keep it."
The surroundings suddenly fell silent, Huo Yu's angle could not see Ah Yaopo's expression, he was both scared and anxious, and asked anxiously: "Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?" Why don't you speak? ”
I don't know how long it took before he heard a faint voice: "When you were a child, you went to Aunt Wang's house to pick pomegranates, and his son Ah Niu was reluctant to let you pick them, so he kicked you, what did you do?" ”
Huo Yu smiled, and his thoughts drifted far, far away: "...... I bit him and took a bite on his face, and Aunt Wang led him to the house to complain, and my grandfather treated Ah Niu's injuries and applied ointment on his face, and the ointment was yellow, so I shouted, saying that Ah Niu had smeared feces on his face and was chased and beaten by you. ”
I don't know where the strength came from, Huo Yu said so much in one breath, and when he finished saying this, the whole person collapsed and passed out.
