Chapter 8: Stepmother is addicted
After Lu Jiaojiao cleaned up all the carrion around Shen Yao, she found a few wooden sticks and rags to fix his broken bones.
He took off his shirt and cleaned and bandaged the wounds on his body, large and small.
After it was over, she looked at Shen Yao's tightly wrenched eyebrows and painful fingers that couldn't control the trembling slightly, and knew that he hadn't fainted yet, so she said:
"You're going to stay up all night, and I'll sell the wild boar I've hunted early tomorrow morning, and I'll get you some hemp boiling powder and tonic medicine when the time comes."
After speaking, Lu Jiaojiao simply covered him, and then went out again.
It took her more than an hour to give Shen Yao a bone, and at first she could still hear the sound of children talking worriedly and eavesdropping.
Later, she became more and more focused, and the children seemed to gradually lose their movement.
When she came out, the yard was pitch black, and her heart sank, and as soon as she stepped into her legs, she felt as if something was covering her feet.
When I looked down, I saw that several children were squatting by the wall and falling asleep.
Such a young child was already sleepy early and slept deeply, so she should have placed them earlier.
Lu Jiaojiao squatted down, picked up Shen Mo with one hand, and sandwiched Shen Yu with the other, and sent them to the house first.
Then he sent Shen Lan back to bed.
When she was about to leave, when she saw Shen Yao looking at her, she said, "The firewood room is cold, just let the children sleep here, they are tired, and probably won't touch your wounds." ”
After speaking, Lu Jiaojiao picked up the wooden planks on the ground and went to the firewood room.
Seeing that Lu Jiaojiao's stout figure completely disappeared at the door, Shen Yao slowly closed his eyes.
But unconsciously appeared in his mind, the woman was busy bandaging in front of and behind him.
Although her fingers are thick, her bandaging movements are as skillful as those in the army.
The woman next to him didn't talk about picking up the flesh and bones, I was afraid that she would faint to death even when she saw his wounds.
But the woman was not only not afraid at all, but also so methodical, even in the face of the naked ......
It's like looking at a herring by the pool, which is natural and ordinary.
Shen Yao breathed a long sigh of relief, he couldn't help but feel that he was ridiculous, when he couldn't sleep in pain, he was thinking about that woman in his mind?
Maybe he shouldn't have thought about it, but she's too strange today.
It's like a different person......
Thinking of this, Shen Yao's breath was suffocated.
She seems to be a different person, although her posture and timbre have not changed, her temperament and the speed and texture of her speech are different.
Shen Yao's eyes darkened, what is there in this woman?
In the firewood room.
Lu Jiaojiao didn't think as much as Shen Yao thought.
On the first day of travel, her wonderful experience can be published in a book.
I don't even have a decent place to live.
She had just moved a few stones into the firewood room in the courtyard outside in the dark, and propped up the wooden planks that Shen Yao had just lifted.
I made myself a simple bed that couldn't be simpler.
She can't go and grab territory with the children and the sick number.
Thinking about it this time, she is so satisfied with herself, she is so kind and so good.
Thinking about it, Lu Jiaojiao fell asleep unconsciously.
The next morning, the chickens in the village croaking one after another.
Lu Jiaojiao couldn't lie in bed anymore.
She opened her eyes in a daze, and saw the broken roof with bare beams above her head, and the messy firewood room full of rat holes leaking air everywhere, and her heart was cold.
Waking up from a dream, the journey of travel still unfinished, it seems that she really has to work hard in this place.
She was helpless, and got up on the wooden bed with her hands in her hands, and heard Shen Monuo's small voice:
"Brother, can my mother still let us eat meat today?"
"She's not our mother." Shen Yu corrected severely.
Lu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes, sooner or later she would let this stinky boy call her mother obediently.
She got up and walked out, and Shen Mo immediately hid behind Shen Yu.
Lu Jiaojiao ignored the children's fear and alienation, walked to the kitchen shed, took out the wild boar in the pot, removed some of it, and put it in the pot to fry until fragrant.
There are no bamboo shoots to add today, there is no seasoning at home, and this meat probably can't be very delicious, and when the pork is sold, she has to buy some spices back.
She specially put the meat in the pot and relied on the oil for a while, and then served it when it was dry.
"Come and eat." She greeted a few children.
Shen Mo and Shen Lan were the first to look at Shen Yu.
Shen Yu lowered his eyes, he had been staring at it just now, this woman didn't have time to take medicine, so take it......
Don't eat for nothing, don't eat.
Shen Yu brought Shen Lan and Shen Mo to the table, and tentatively dragged the plate to his side, seeing that Lu Jiaojiao did not change her face.
Shen Yu was even more daring, and simply dragged the meat to his brother and sister.
But just when Shen Yu was about to grab the meat, Lu Jiaojiao raised her hand to intercept his little hand.
"Have you washed your hands?"
Hand washing?
Shen Yu lowered his eyes, since his father was sick, no one cared whether they ate or washed their hands.
He didn't want to listen to Lu Jiaojiao, and tried to grab the meat, but Lu Jiaojiao dragged them all up, "Wait." ”
She went to the kitchen shed to fetch a basin of water and went to pull Shen Mo first.
Shen Mo was afraid, and shrank back while calling her mother, Lu Jiaojiao was distressed, squatted down slightly, and her voice was as soft as a marshmallow:
"My mother doesn't foam, is it okay to wash my hands before eating?"
When Shen Mo heard this, her dark eyes widened and looked at Lu Jiaojiao.
Seeing this, Lu Jiaojiao looked at Shen Yu.
Shen Yu glared back at her impatiently, and then rubbed Shen Mo's head comfortingly.
"Come, the second brother will wash you."
He is a man who can't get sick, and his sister can be delicate and washed.
Shen Mo saw Shen Yu helping her wash, so she stepped forward timidly.
Shen Yu is also decent, and he even washed Shen Mo's face.
Then it looked like she was about to eat after completing the task, Lu Jiaojiao coughed lightly, Shen Yu and Shen Lan had no choice, and they roughly soaked themselves before glaring at Lu Jiaojiao.
As if to say, enough tossing, can you eat?
Seeing this, Lu Jiaojiao stopped them and pushed the meat in front of them again.
Shen Mo was the youngest, and he couldn't hide his joy and anger, so he immediately slapped happily, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
But Shen Lan's arm seemed to be unintentionally raised, but Shen Mo's flesh fell to the table.
Shen Lan looked at Lu Jiaojiao with an apologetic expression, carefully picked up a piece of clean meat, and handed it to Lu Jiaojiao: "Mother, you can eat it too." ”
Lu Jiaojiao took the meat in Shen Lan's hand, no matter what this kid had in mind, but the child always couldn't refuse what he gave, otherwise they would think that her flesh was poisonous.
Shen Lan saw that Lu Jiaojiao ate his meat without saying a word, and between chewing, there was a looming smile on the corner of his lips, and his brain was a little wooden.
picked up a piece of clean meat and handed it to Shen Mo, and he ate the piece that fell on the table.
Seeing this, Lu Jiaojiao pursed the corners of her lips, although Shen Lan and Shen Yu have different personalities, it is enough to see that both of them are smart and have eight hundred hearts.
However, if it weren't for their early wisdom, it would probably be difficult for them to survive this bumpy fate.
Thinking about it, she wanted to rub the heads of several children with pity, but suddenly heard a sarcasm behind her.
"Hey, let me see, this is really an eye-opening for the knife to pull the ass, Lu Jiaojiao, you let the donkey kick in your brain, is the stepmother addicted?"
