Chapter Twenty-Five: A Strange Strip of Cloth

The small waterhole in front of him was already stained with blood, Ye Yu cautiously stepped back, and then walked a little around to the upstream of the waterhole to take the water and bring it back.

When he returned, the dog was gone again, leaving only a pile of bird feathers on the ground. It's quite admirable, and you can still hunt by yourself when your feet are injured like that.

"Fisher~"

Hearing A-Niang calling herself, Ye Yu hurriedly carried the water back to the grass house.

"You girl, you get up early in the morning and are busy. Carry water so that A-Niang can go. ”

Xu stepped forward to take the water and subconsciously looked behind his daughter.

"Where's that black dog? I saw that the water you put on it last night was gone, and it didn't make a fuss all night, and it was quite docile. ”

Ye Yu was stunned and didn't speak. A-Niang didn't see the dog biting the bird just now, if she saw it, she wouldn't be able to say this.

"A-Niang, wait a minute......"

"Fisherman! You're good talking!! ”

The moment Xu heard A-Niang's excitement, the water was about to spill, and he quickly put down the bucket and then grabbed his daughter's hand tightly, staring at her mouth with his eyes and excitedly telling her to say a few more words.

Ye Yu tentatively said a few words that were difficult for her to say clearly before, probably because she was still worried about the wound, so she couldn't let go of it, but it was already much clearer than before.

"Good, good! That's it! ”

Xu's tears of joy flowed. If the mouth disease can be cured, the red spots on the daughter's face will definitely be cured.

After many years, there is finally hope.

"Auntie, don't cry."

"Okay, don't cry, don't cry. This is a happy thing, A-Niang is happy. ”

Xu wiped his tears, and when he turned around, he shed more fiercely.

It would be nice if the boss and the boss were still there, they would be very happy to know it.

"Yu'er, go find more palm leaves and come back, and after dinner, we can tidy up the roof again."

Xu Shi turned his back to her and spoke, Ye Yu didn't notice anything unusual, and immediately obediently went to pick palm leaves nearby.

Speaking of which, she hasn't explored all of Baoshan Island yet, and the farthest is to the stone wall.

Yesterday, I came out to find the wood and branches to build the grass shed, and I didn't pay much attention to anything else, but I came out again today and found something good.

Just a few hundred steps away from the thatched hut, there is actually a sweet banana (called banana in modern times) tree!

The green leaves on the trees covered the fruits, and I was in a hurry to find the sticks and branches yesterday, but I didn't notice this side at all.

Now in February, sweet bananas are the time to eat, and the thought of the sweet taste Ye Yu has begun to craving.

However, her main business was to pick palm leaves, and after picking palm leaves, she turned around and twisted more than a dozen sweet bananas.

"Auntie, look!"

"Hey! It's a big sweet banana, it's half yellow, and you can eat it if you cover it. ”

Xu was very pleasantly surprised, she hadn't eaten sweet bananas for a long time. In the past, my husband and son could only taste it after they went to sea and brought it back.

"That's nice, where did you get it?"

"It's over there......"

Ye Yu pointed in the direction, came back and took a knife and went again. It's not that it's not enough to eat, but that ripe sweet bananas give off an enticing aroma that attracts birds to peck at them. As for the banana tree she found, there were already many ripe fruits on it that had been pecked and full of holes. That's why she had to cut some of the bananas back before they were fully ripe.

This kind of fruit can be put in, and it will be ripe quickly when you cover it, and the taste is very sweet and delicious.

After breakfast, the mother and daughter began to arrange the palm leaves, which were then spread one by one on the roof made of wooden sticks. After laying a layer, spread some fine wooden sticks and branches, and then paste the mud that has been mixed with water, and finally spread a layer of palm leaves, find some stones to press.

This layer of mud binds palm leaves and branches together, keeping out light rain, but heavy rain is still dangerous, so the roof needs to be replaced as soon as possible.

Ye Yu thought about asking Sister Sang when the time came, to see if there was anything out of place over there that could shelter from the wind and rain to make the roof.

"Yu'er, the tide should almost start to recede, today A-Niang will go with you to catch the sea."

"Together?"

Ye Yu was stunned, since Daddy and eldest brother disappeared, Auntie had never crossed the sea with her.

"A-Niang, is your body really okay?"

"It's really okay, I'm full of energy now!"

Xu was afraid that his daughter would not believe it, so he carried a bucket with half a bucket of water and prepared to show it.

"No, you don't! Auntie, I believe it! ”

Ye Yu lifted the bucket and pulled Ah Niang to look her up and down.

Today's A-Niang looks better than yesterday, and it is even more different from when she was on the island before. There was no sorrow in her eyes, her brow was not always frowning, and her words became more and more. It seems that she is still the aunt when there is no change in the family.

So the medicine prescribed by that doctor is really just bluffing??

Ye Yu was indignant in his heart, you must know that the money he spent to buy medicine for most of the past half a year has cost several taels of silver. As a result, the medicine I bought was not right, but I felt as uncomfortable as a stone when I thought about spending so much unjust money.

But after thinking about it, A-Niang had a will to die at the beginning. If she hadn't known that she had spent so much money to buy her medicine, she wouldn't have dispelled that thought, and she was bent on getting better quickly to help pay off her debts.

Forget it, as long as A-Niang is healthy.

"Let's go, fisherman!"

"It's coming, it's coming!"

It's good to be able to speak, Ye Yu responded happily, and hurriedly took the basket to catch up.

When the mother and daughter came out of the woods, the sea had receded a lot, and they could see the sea on the beach that had not had time to recede with the water.

Xu hasn't caught the sea for too long, and he is already eager to try it at the moment.

"Yu'er, you still go and dig up your crabs, and the other aunts come."

"Okay, then I'll go to the rocks. Auntie, don't go into the water, be careful of catching a cold. ”

Ye Yu was not very relieved, and the appearance of an adult telling a child directly made Xu laugh.

"Okay, okay, A-Niang is not a child."

I am also a person who has lived by the sea for decades, how can I be so careless. She would never go to the sea.

Xu thought so, but she didn't do it, and she was slapped in the face in less than a quarter of an hour. Not only did she go into the water, but she also walked deeper and deeper into the sea step by step!

At this time, the sea was still receding, and a small piece of wood floating on the surface of the sea also rolled and fell with the tide. This piece of wood is a bit special, it has a strip of dark blue cloth tied to it.

The first time Xu saw the strip of cloth, he remembered the clothes he made for his son the year before last, which was this color!

It was the fabric that he had secretly saved for a long time before he gritted his teeth and bought it, and when he put it on, his son's eyes were red.

She was really impressed.

So she had to get that piece of wood back and take a closer look!
