Chapter 160: Wishful Thinking
After drying the clothes, Lu Huijuan remembered that Mu Xiu had told him before going out that he was going to move the medicinal herbs in the house out of the yard to dry.
Mu Xiu's instructions that she had always attached great importance to it, so she hurriedly moved those medicinal herbs out of the house.
As soon as the things were laid out in the courtyard, a woman poked out her head outside and whispered to her, "Is Hui Juan at home?" ”
Lu Huijuan quickly wiped her hands and walked to the door.
As soon as the woman saw her come out, she said, "Hui Juan, there is a good show in the courtyard today, Boss Hong sang it, and Aunt Luo has taken a good place for us, let's go quickly." ”
Since settling down in Tongxian County, Lu Huijuan has lived a long and comfortable life.
Recently, she has also become obsessed with watching operas, in addition to cooking and laundry every day, she also goes to watch people sing operas, and there, she also met several theater fans.
Hearing this, Lu Huijuan looked back.
"Let's go, the show is about to start." The woman urged her.
Lu Huijuan didn't hesitate any longer, turned around and closed the courtyard door, and followed the woman to the courtyard to watch the play and went out......
"Hui Juan...... Hui Juan...... Hui Juan, are you ......? ”
Shen Qing shouted outside a few times in a hoarse throat, but there was no response.
She felt dry and wanted to drink saliva, but she couldn't find the kettle that had been placed at the bedside, and Lu Huijuan, who was still wandering around the house, didn't know where to go.
She tried her best to prop herself up with both hands and looked out the window, only to see clothes and medicinal herbs drying in the yard, but she didn't see Lu Huijuan's person.
She was so thirsty that she couldn't do anything about it, she sat against the wall, looking at her legs, her eyes slightly red.
She hated her weak body and useless legs, she felt like a waste, unable to take care of herself, dependent on others for everything, not even pouring herself a glass of water.
There was a birdcage hanging not far from the head of the bed, and in the cage there were two small thrushes jumping around, which Mu Xiu had bought to relieve her boredom.
Actually, she prefers kittens and dogs, but those little animals will run away all at once, and they will not be with her so peacefully.
The little thrush jumps around in the cage, pecking at bird food, drinking water, and pecking feathers at his companions.
Their owner sat on the bed dejectedly, motionless.
And so it went on for a long time
It wasn't until there was a thunderstorm in the sky that Shen Qing raised her head, she turned her head to look out the window again, and saw that the sky had darkened for some time.
Soon, the wind came, blowing the branches and leaves of the sycamore outside.
Oops, it's going to rain.
She shouted outside again, "Hui Juan, Hui Juan, are you there?" It's going to rain......"
Several times, Lu Huijuan pretended not to hear her shouting at home; She thought that this person was also as intentional about ignoring herself as before, but this day it was dark, and it was going to rain, and the person was still gone, it seemed that she had really gone out.
What is dried outside is a rare medicinal herb, and it cannot be exposed to rain.
Thinking of this, Shen Qing moved to the side of the bed with her arms supporting her body, Mu Xiu was afraid that she would fall off the bed, because this bed was made shorter than ordinary beds, she bent over, leaned down, carefully got off the ground with her hands under it, and began to move out little by little.
With the strength of her hands, she moved her legs out of the hall a little bit, and struggled to cross the threshold and out of the courtyard......
The small pebbles in the yard stabbed her palms painfully, Shen Qing didn't care about it, and soon, she came to the place where the medicinal materials were dried, and the medicinal materials were placed on top of the dustpans to dry, and she held the dustpan in her hand, so she couldn't move forward with the strength of her hands.
There was really no way, she tried to move with her feet, and with her continuous efforts, the legs that had not obeyed began to move forward little by little......
The wind blows the fallen leaves, and the sand and dust rolls in the face......
It didn't take long for her to be drenched in sweat.
His thigh was scratched by the small pebble underneath, and it wasn't until a tingling pain came that Shen Qing realized that his legs could move and feel it......
The sky was cloudy and windy everywhere......
In the courtyard, a woman crawled forward little by little, like a baby who had just learned to crawl, and pushed the dustpan in front of her as she crawled, and so on twice again, thunder thundered in the sky, and it rained heavily......
The pouring rain soon soaked her whole body, and the rain ran down her forehead, and the woman used the last of her strength to push the dustpan in her hand into the hall......
Mu Xiu was dressed in a heavy robe, and pushed open the courtyard door in the storm, only to see the woman lying motionless on the stone steps in front of the threshold, her thin body washed by the rain......
"Shen Qing ......"
Mu Xiu was startled, rushed over quickly, and picked the person up.
Lu Huijuan...... Lu Huijuan: Where did you die......? ”
He shouted twice, but there was no response, and then, when he saw the chaotic stacks of medicinal herbs in the threshold, his eyes suddenly showed a fierce light......
——
After watching a scene, Lu Huijuan chatted with a few acquaintances in the courtyard, and heard Aunt Luo say that the girl who was not out of the cabinet had a box of fat powder, which was very easy to use, and she might be able to cover the scar on her face.
So several women went to Aunt Luo's house as guests in a hurry.
Aunt Luo took out her daughter's fat powder and smeared it on her, and couldn't help but sigh: "My sister looks very delicate, round and jade, and beautiful." ”
Lu Huijuan was immediately overjoyed when she heard this, she lived a comfortable life these days, she didn't have to work in the field under the sun, her skin was a little fairer, and her food was good, she did gain some weight, and she looked better, if there was no scar on her face.
Second sister-in-law Lu stared at her face and spit out a mouthful of melon seed shells, and said, "Your man is so tall and has a beard, he looks weird and scary." ”。
This second sister-in-law Lu is the woman who called her to watch the play outside the courtyard gate, her home is not far from the house where she lives, and she has seen Mu Xiu enter and leave the house a few times.
When Lu Huijuan heard this, her face couldn't help but turn red, and she whispered: "No, he looks scary, and he is a good person." ”。
She told the women that Mu Xiu was her man, and that there was a sister-in-law at home who couldn't walk.
Whenever the women talked about her Mu Xiu, Lu Huijuan was a little weak-hearted, she knew very well that everything was her own wishful thinking, so far, Mu Xiu had not even touched her fingers.
"How is your sister-in-law, do you get along?"
"What can I do, lying on the bed every day, like a wasted person, stretching out my hands for clothes, and opening my mouth for food."
Hearing this, Aunt Luo couldn't help but sigh: "It's really not easy for you to be such a sister-in-law." ”
"Who's to say it isn't." Hearing this, Lu Huijuan let out a long sigh, and then said: "Don't talk about her, I feel annoyed when I mention her." ”
