Chapter Twenty-Three: Two People and One Dog

"Really, will A-Niang still lie to you? I don't think I need to drink any medicine at night. ”

Xu is very serious, she really doesn't want to drink medicine anymore. It's so bitter that I won't talk about it in my heart, it's very expensive. My daughter worked hard for most of the year, didn't save money, and still owed debts, all because of buying medicine.

She really feels very good now, and finally she no longer has to watch her daughter suffer every day, but she can only rub ropes and weave straw shoes at home like a wasted person. The depressed things in her heart seemed to be emptied, and she didn't want to cry today.

"Yu'er, don't worry, A-Niang won't joke about her body, I don't believe you will take a look tomorrow."

Ye Yu hesitated, but nodded obediently.

It is a three-point poison, if A-Niang doesn't drink the medicine, she will be fine, she naturally won't have to ask A-Niang to drink the medicine. However, Ah Niang said that she only began to have energy after coming to Baoshan Island. It seems that after drinking the porridge, she saw A-Niang go out to find the sticks and vines at that time, and she was worried that A-Niang would not be able to bear it.

Could it be because of corn porridge?

Ye Yu pondered carefully, although he used to cook a little corn at home, it was all clear soup and little water, not as thick as the bowl in the morning, and there was no brown sugar added to it.

Herein lies the difference.

Well...... After a while, add more brown sugar to the corn porridge and try it.

Ye Yu couldn't sit still when he thought of this, so he immediately got up and went to the grass hut to rummage, and then took out the casserole he bought in the supermarket today.

This pot is not cheap, it costs more than a hundred yuan, but she still bought it without hesitation. Because there is a clay pot with a missing mouth at home, boiling medicine and cooking rice at the same time, every time I cook some corn, it smells of medicine. Moreover, this pot is much larger than the clay pot and has a lid, which is really likable.

As soon as Ye Yu came out, Xu's eyes immediately glued.

"This pot, this pot is so beautiful!"

Xu couldn't put it down, and immediately fetched water to wash the pot and cook.

In the morning, the mother and daughter had cleared a small area around the stone wall and built a simple stove out of stones, so that no sparks would fly out to ignite the surrounding trees when cooking on the fire.

Of course, you still have to be careful, this is their home for the rest of their lives. Xu squatted in front of the stove and stared at the fire, never leaving a single step.

Cooking outside, Ye Yu was in the grass hut with the bed she and A-Niang had to sleep on at night.

In fact, it is very simple, the head and foot of the bed are cushioned with stones of about the same height, and then put on sticks and branches of the same length, and then spread a thick layer of weeds, and then put the mattress on it.

After Ye Yu finished making the bed, she sat on it and tried the feeling, but she didn't know if it was a psychological effect, she just felt that this bed was more comfortable than the one on the island before.

After tidying up the bed, she tidied up her father and brother's clothes again. Now there is no place to put it in the grass hut, so it can only be put in a small cart for the time being.

Seeing the cart, Ye Yu remembered that he had to return the cart tomorrow. I heard Sister Sang say that it was rented, and if she paid the money as a deposit, she would deduct the money if she didn't return it.

"Yu'er, come out for a moment."

Hearing A-Niang's voice, Ye Yu hurriedly put down his things and walked out of the grass shed.

"Fisherman, you see it's the dog......"

Xu was timid and was chased by dogs when he was young, so he was a little afraid of dogs. Fang was boiling porridge just now, and Leng Buding suddenly saw a pair of dark eyes staring at her in the forest, and she was really frightened.

"Is it looking for something we want to eat?"

Ye Yu pursed his lips, he and A-Niang had just been able to fill their stomachs, how could there be more food for the dog to eat. She's just selfish and doesn't want to share her hard-earned rations. Anyway, tomorrow when the tide recedes, there are so many seafood on the beach that it will not have any problems with hunger overnight.

"Fisherman, what should I do? It doesn't seem to mean to go. ”

Such an adult dog is quite scary, and if he and his daughter go crazy, they may not be able to beat it.

"Not afraid ......"

Ye Yu couldn't help but open his mouth, fortunately, these two words would not involve his tongue, and he didn't feel it at all when he said it. She patted Ah Niang and asked her to continue to cook porridge, while she picked up the wooden stick from the ground and stood beside Ah Niang.

This meal was made and that was terrifying, and as soon as the porridge was boiled, Xu didn't even have time to put the brown sugar, so he took the pot into the grass shed. She was relieved when the door of the hut was pulled and fastened.

"Really, this dog is too scary. I don't scream, I just stare at you like that. ”

Xu complained as he put a small piece of brown sugar into the pot and stirred. Ye Yu saw that she only put a little bit of it, stepped forward and broke another piece and put it in.

"Eh! Fisherman! Put too much sugar! ”

Ye Yu looked at A-Niang's appearance and wanted to fish it up, so he simply grabbed the wooden spoon and stirred it directly, and couldn't fish it out at all.

"You kid......"

Xu had no choice but to toss by his daughter. However, this corn porridge with extra sugar is indeed more delicious, and the feeling of warmth in the stomach is gone.

After drinking the porridge, the sky outside gradually darkened. Ye Yu picked up the leaves of the grass shed vines and looked out, and was suddenly stunned.

The dog outside not only did not leave, but he did nothing, just lay down by the makeshift stove.

It turned out that it was trying to keep warm......

Ye Yu felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but if she was asked if she wanted to feed the dog, she would still refuse.

Not only because of the food rations, but also because the dog is too dangerous to become an adult. If it was a puppy, she thought she would be willing to raise it.

After a while, when it gets completely dark, the island will get colder and colder, so I hope this dog can hold on.

Ye Yu came back to his senses and didn't continue to pay attention to the outside.

"Yu'er, it's getting dark, you're tired today, go to bed and rest early."

"Don't be sleepy......"

Hearing that it was dark, Ye Yu thought of the flashlight, and then she remembered that the treasures she bought today had not been shown to A-Niang.

!!!

She had to take it out and show it to A-Niang, so that A-Niang was also happy.

Ye Yu came to the end, and went directly to the corner to carry all the things in the small cart to the bed and put them away. Then find the hand-cranked flashlight and press the green switch.

With a click, the whole hut lit up.

Xu Shi was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground.

"Fish, fisherman! What is this?! ”

This, this is too bright!

Ye Yu smiled happily and fumbled to dim the light. It's just that no matter how dark it is, it's brighter than the light of an oil lamp.

It took Xu a while to slow down, and he took the flashlight and touched it non-stop.

"Good boy, this has to be a fairy baby, right? So bright and so beautiful! ”

"And ......"

Ye Yu turned around and took out another thing, which she wanted to buy back at a glance.

"Hiss......"

Xu's eyes lit up, and he didn't want the flashlight to take the things in his daughter's hand.

"This is a knife?? How can it be silver?? It can't be made of silver, right? ”

Ye Yu: "......"

A-Niang really dared to think that silver would make knives......
