Chapter 2 Guanyin soil
There was a small knock on the door, and it seemed that the person knocking on the door was also hesitating.
Yun Shu closed his personal space and opened the door.
A gust of wind entered the hall, and the cold Yun Shu immediately shivered.
It wasn't until this time that Yun Shu realized that it was so warm in the house that it turned out to be a charcoal fire...
"Mother... My brother and Aunt Xiuxiu are sick..."
Standing outside the door was a black and thin little guy, about three or four years old, looking at Yun Shu timidly with his big head up.
She was dressed in a thin linen dress of no color, with patches on it, and it looked no better than a beggar's outfit.
The little one's hair was messy, and his face and hands were covered with dirty black glaze, and he knew at a glance that he hadn't cleaned up properly for a while.
Another cold wind blew, and the little guy's body trembled, and his face turned pale.
The little beggar-like little guy in front of him is the biological daughter of the original owner, Xiaomi.
Comparing the original owner's clean clothes and warm and tidy bedroom, Yun Shu once again sighed that the original owner was not a thing.
"Come on in!"
Yun Shu ignored the surprise in the little guy's eyes, and stretched out his hand to pull her into the house.
When I closed the door, I instantly warmed up.
Grunt...
The scream in his stomach made the little one bow his head in shame.
Yun Shu followed her gaze and immediately frowned.
Her small body is almost thin, but she has a big belly.
It's just abnormal...
Yun Shu squatted down and carefully knocked on her stomach, and immediately there was a bangbang.
This is... Constipation?
Yun Shu was stunned.
"How long has it been since you've been huh?"
Yun Shu gently pulled the little guy's little hand like a chicken paw, but his eyes were extremely nervous.
Skinny but with a big head, it is clearly a sign of malnutrition.
Now that my belly is so big, I don't have a bowel movement for a while.
Starvation, no bowel movements, these clues all point to an incredible truth - Guanyin soil!
Guanyin clay is a kind of firing pottery, fine white powdered clay.
In the years of famine, when people were too hungry to hold on, they dug up the soil and ate it.
Guanyin soil can indeed be used to satisfy hunger, because it has a delicate texture, almost does not contain sand, rocks and other impurities, and a small amount of food is indeed not harmful to the human body.
But when people eat a lot of Guanyin soil, they will feel very thirsty, so they can't help but drink a lot of water.
When the soil of Guanyin encounters water, it expands rapidly and then solidifies.
Guanyin soil is not digested in people's stomachs, let alone absorbed by the intestines, they will only coagulate into lumps in the intestines, resulting in the inability to defecate, and eventually suffocate the person who eats it.
Eating Guanyin soil to satisfy hunger is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst.
The original owner hadn't paid attention to these two little guys for a while, and the price of food outside was getting higher every day.
The original owner's jewelry has almost been sold, and the day before yesterday he exchanged the last golden hairpin for a bag of millet.
Even if the original owner saves it, it can only be drunk for less than half a month, how can it be eaten by the little ones!
Presumably, it was the girl named Xiuxiu who took them to dig Guanyin soil and wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, so they barely survived.
But Guanyin soil can't eat more, and they have now reached the stage where they can't defecate...
Yun Shu rubbed the little guy's head, and once again scolded the original owner in his heart.
The little guy was still tilting his head and answering Yun Shu's question seriously.
"Three... Five..."
She counted softly with her little hands as black as chicken paws, but unfortunately she didn't count them right after counting several times, and finally she was so anxious that tears fell.
Bean-sized tears slid down his thin little face, and Yun Shu wanted to cry when he saw it.
It's miserable...
She, a person who grew up under the red flag and had never starved, really couldn't see this kind of tragedy.
Yun Shu blinked vigorously to force back the tears that overflowed into his eyes, and gently hugged the little guy to the bed.
Now is not the time for hypocrisy, another little guy is waiting for her to come to her rescue...
"You wait here, I'll go and bring my brother over..."
"Good boy..."
Yun Shu gently pinched her thin little face.
The little guy nodded vigorously, and shouted timidly, "Mother..."
After shouting this, the little guy's mouth pursed nervously, and his body moved a few times uneasily.
My mother loves to be clean, she is so dirty, if she makes her mother's bed dirty, will her mother become the cold mother again?
She loves this mother who will hold her, hold her hand, and talk to her gently...
Can I not change it back?
The little guy stared at Yun Shu nicely, and when he saw Yun Shu get up and prepare to leave, his little hand tightly grabbed Yun Shu's sleeve.
Yun Shu thought she was scared, so he rubbed her hair soothingly.
The little guy's hair was messy and knotted on the top of her head, and Yun Shu tried to help her tidy it up, only to see a lot of lice bouncing around...
Hiss!
Yun Shu gasped and subconsciously withdrew his hand.
This kind of physiological instinctive reaction, Yun Shu regretted it after doing it.
The little guy thought that Yun Shu disliked her, and immediately cried.
It's the kind of silent tears, pursed his lips hard, and his little shoulders twitch and twitch.
Tears fell down in a big bubble and smashed into Yun Shu's hand, and the back of Yun Shu's hot hand trembled.
"I'm sorry... My mother didn't mean it..."
Yun Shu was at a loss for a moment, although she was about to run for three, she had never been in love once.
Along the way, he was involved in college, and then he was involved in graduate school, and after graduation, he was even more busy with his peers.
I finally used the money I saved to buy a house of my own in the small county town of the 18th parallel in my hometown, and I became a civil servant...
As a result, once I returned to the pre-liberation period, I went to this small mountain village where birds don't poop.
It's a pity that she hasn't even talked about love, so she suddenly became the mother of two babies...
Yun Shu's eyes were sour, and he suddenly wanted to cry...
But she couldn't cry.
She is now a mother of two children, and she has to hold up a piece of heaven for her children...
Yun Shu took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to gently wipe the little guy's tears, and coaxed:
"Xiaomi, my mother doesn't dislike you, when my mother helps you and my brother and Aunt Xiuxiu get cured, my mother will help you take a bath, okay?"
That's right!
In the memory of the original owner, the two children were called rice and the younger one was called millet, it was so casual!
The name was given by Xiuxiu, and the original owner had no objection, so it was naturally called big.
"Okay, mother!"
The little guy sniffed, obediently held back his tears, and looked at Yun Shu with admiration.
"Then don't change back, okay?"
Figuring out what the little guy meant, Yun Shu's eyes were sour, and he almost burst into tears.
"Good!"
Yun Shu took a deep breath and took the initiative to hook the little guy's little finger, "Shall we make an appointment?" ”
"Hang yourself on the hook, you can't change it for a hundred years!"
The little guy's timbre is very good, delicate and pretty, and after making an agreement with Yun Shu, he sat on the bed with a well-behaved face, staring at Yun Shu with a good eye.
Like a clingy puppy...
