Chapter 16 Sister You Hebai
"This is how long I have been lying in the snow, it has been frozen like this, and even if I am rescued, I will have to recuperate for a while."
Imperial Physician Zhao first pricked her with two injections, and asked Dong Xia to decoction the medicine, Ming Lanying made a basin of hot water to wipe the woman's limbs and face, and the broken hair frozen on her face was wiped softly, Imperial Physician Zhao looked at the woman's appearance and was suddenly shocked.
"Tsurubai?!"
"Old Zhao, do you know?" Ming Lanying looked at the haggard beauty who was unconscious with her eyes closed, and looked at the appearance of seventeen or eighteen years old, her face was pale in the ice and snow, but her peugeot facial features and frowning eyebrows could still be seen to be a big beauty embryo.
Ning Er next to her was reminded by Imperial Physician Zhao, and suddenly remembered who this familiar person was, "It's Aunt Hebai!" β
Ming Lanying was stunned, "Auntie? β
Ma Yi also said that it was her rival in love, it turned out to be Ye Juelu's sister, and she had a false alarm, but didn't Ye Juelu's family members all die?
"What aunt?" Dong Xia happened to bring the medicine over, Ming Lanying took a hand to help feed the medicine, Imperial Doctor Zhao squinted his eyes and continued to take the pulse, thinking that Ming Lanying didn't know yet, so he explained.
"It's You Hebai, Ye Juelu's godsister, not a parent, she was recognized by the Ye family in the early years, but then something happened, Ye Juelu sent her back to the You family, and this time she somehow came here."
Dong Xia suddenly realized, "It turned out to be Hebai!" β
Ming Lanying was surprised: "You also know?" "Everyone knows her, but she is a stranger, which is a bit strange.
Dongxia shook his head, "I met a few times when I was a child, I didn't know each other very well, I heard that something happened to the You family back then, so I raised her at Brother Ye's house, and then something happened to Brother Ye's family, and she was taken back again, but she often secretly ran out to find Brother Ye." β
Ming Lanying felt that the two of them were quite brother and sister, and rubbed Ning Er's worried little face, "Does Ning Er also know Aunt Hebai?" β
"Very early on, Ning'er met once, and Aunt Hebai would bring candy to Ning'er to eat."
Ming Lanying thought about Ning'er very early, when she was only two or three years old, and the people she met at that time still remember that she was worthy of being her son, and she had a really good memory.
Dongxia thought about it for a while, and whispered to Ming Lanying: "Brother Ye is very fierce to her, fierce and strict, I heard that last time she secretly came to find Brother Ye, and was beaten by Brother Ye, and the injury medicine is still prepared by my grandfather." β
Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows and smiled, "So fierce? β
Dong Xia nodded, "I don't know if Brother Ye will clean up again after he knows that she is here." β
After pouring down the two large bowls of medicine, her pale face returned to some vitality, and Imperial Doctor Zhao gave her two more injections, "People are fine, but they have to recuperate for two or three years." β
"Paralyzed?" In Ming Lanying's opinion, this kind of words are either paralyzed or crippled and stupid.
Imperial Physician Zhao glared at her, "What nonsense, it's just that the body has suffered from the cold, and the cold has penetrated into the bones for too long, which may affect the meridian joints." β
Ming Lan Ying: "Oh. β
In short, You Hebai was rescued, this is Imperial Doctor Zhao's consultation room, it is inconvenient for Hebai to stay here all the time, it just so happened that Ming Lanying had two rooms, so he carried it over with Dong Xia.
As soon as Ye Jielu came back in the evening, he was told that his sister was coming, and before he could react for a while, Ning Er took his hand and went to another room to look.
The kang was burning in the house, it was warm, and at this time, You Hebai was still asleep lying on the kang, and Ye Jielu was also stunned when he saw her.
"Tsurubai?! What's wrong with her? How did it come about? β
Ming Lanying crossed her waist and leaned lazily on the table on the side, "I don't know, I saw it in the snow at the entrance of the village at noon, and almost everyone was gone." β
Ye Jielu frowned tightly, and suddenly felt a little headache now, and pressed the tail of his eyebrows irritably, "This dead girl, she ran out secretly again, don't die." β
Ming Lanying yawned, "I should miss you, come and see you, they're all big girls, just say it." β
After finishing speaking, he took Ning Er back to the next room to sleep, and when Ye Jielu finished washing and entered the house, he found that his original quilt was gone.
Ning Er patted her quilt, "Dad, your quilt mother has covered it for Aunt Hebai, you and Ning Er will cover it together tonight!" β
Ye Jielu: "......" No wonder the quilt looks a little familiar in that room.
In the morning, Ming Lanying was awakened by the crying of the next room in a daze, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Ning'er covering her ears and shrinking into the quilt.
"Brother, brother, wait! I was wrong! Don't fight, don't fight! Oh!! β
"Don't die, run out on a snowy day!" Ye Jielu scolded in a low voice, "The rules have been learned in the dog's belly!" β
"Whew! I was wrong! Really wrong! Don't fight, don't fight, you're going to die! β
This was followed by the sound of sticks waving, a muffled thud, and a puppy-like whimper.
Ming Lanying: "......" spirit is very good.
raised his hand and rubbed Ning'er's head, Ning'er immediately turned around, her eyes were shining, and she shouted sweetly, "Mother!" Good morning! β
"Good morning, what's wrong? Why are you covering your ears? β
Ning Er frowned, "Aunt Hebai howls too loudly, and she has been noisy for a long time." β
Ming Lanying teased his little brow funny, "Then you go and tell your father to stop, don't beat her." β
Ning'er shook her head, "Dad said don't go over, he's teaching Aunt Hebai to be obedient." β
Ming Lanying couldn't help laughing, "Okay, let's wash up and eat, and after eating, your father won't beat her, and it'll be quiet." β
"Good!"
Today's weather is not good, the sky is gloomy, and there has been a light snowfall, Minglan Ying looked at the small snowflakes sprinkled with Yangyang, and suddenly wanted to eat snowflake chestnuts and fritters, and made a few bites of it.
got up early, Ye Jielu hadn't made breakfast yet, and it was estimated that they were teaching the children together, and Ming Lanying did it herself. It just so happened that the steamed chicken yesterday hadn't been eaten yet, and the remaining chicken was torn to pieces, and a shredded chicken porridge was boiled, a basket of egg cakes were baked, a basket of fried fritters was fried, and a hearty breakfast.
Ming Lanying took an egg cake in her mouth and knocked on the next room, "Ye Jielu, it's time for breakfast, you scared Ning'er." β
The room was quiet for a while, and in a moment Ye Juelu appeared in front of Ming Lanying, and Ning Er sat in the pavilion and ate obediently.
"I'm sorry, Hebai ran away from home and has been taught a lesson by me, so I asked Dongxia to come and give her medicine."
Ming Lanying nodded, and before she could speak, there was a shout from Hebai in the room, "Brother! Who are you talking to? Isn't that bad woman! β
Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, she didn't care about this somewhat offensive words, she looked at him playfully, Ye Jielu silently covered the door, and when she returned to the house, she begged for mercy with a sullen stick and a white cry.
Ye Jielu's voice was full of anger, "Who is the bad woman in your mouth!" β
Hebai gritted his teeth and resisted, and said stubbornly: "She's not my sister-in-law, she's not worthy!" I've inquired, I know what kind of person she is, if I hadn't seen Ning Er in your shop last year, I wouldn't have known what kind of dire situation he lives in every day! β
"That's your sister-in-law!" Ye Jielu was beaten again, "I didn't say anything, Ning Er didn't say anything, and it wasn't the turn of others to point fingers!" β
Hebai stubbornly didn't let go, and was beaten by Ye Jielu a few times, Ming Lanying shook her head helplessly, it seems that the relationship between the two brothers and sisters is good, and it is love to beat and scold. After pacifying Ning'er after eating, he asked him to go next door and call Dong Xia to come.
"Brother! Are you going to beat me to death for that woman! β
"You Hebai, you are seventeen years old, and you are still playing and running away from home every day, you are not naΓ―ve, if your sister-in-law hadn't found out about you, where would you still cry in front of me now! How dare you run to the side by yourself, if you have an accident, how can I explain it to your father!" β
Crane Bai suddenly screamed, like a fried cat, "I don't have a father!" I'm my mother's child! β
Ming Lanying was stunned, this girl has a story!
But it's always bad to poke someone's sore spot, and pluck out your ears as if you didn't hear it.
When she finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, the whimpering and violent beatings gradually disappeared in the room, and Dongxia happened to come with all kinds of wound medicine. Ye Jielu came out with a stick, silently went to the side to finish breakfast in three or two bites, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and went into the kitchen, and saw Ming Lanying busy working in front of the stove, so he silently went over to help her light the fire.
Ming Lanying concentrated on making snowflake chestnuts, and the sweet smell permeated the air, Ye Jielu said slowly.
"Hebai was spoiled by my father's mother, and later returned to You's house, but he didn't like the restraint there, he was used to being unscrupulous, and he was easy to do things impulsively. I've warned her about you after listening to someone else's provocation, but she might want to live here temporarily, is that okay? β
Hebai may not be wrong about what he inquired about, it was all something that the original owner had really done, but Ming Lanying didn't care, she still thought this sister-in-law was very funny.
Ming Lanying tasted a mouthful of snowflake chestnuts and squinted her eyes with satisfaction, "It can be, but I don't raise idlers, she has to work for me." β
"Okay, she has rough skin and thick meat, she can fight and resist, she can do dirty work, you can do dirty work at will, you can tell me if she is disobedient, and I will clean her up."
Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Okay." β
As soon as Ye Juelu left, Ming Lanying found that this little girl was very arrogant.
In winter and summer, she was given medicine, and Ming Lanying came in with a bowl of shredded chicken porridge and egg cake fritters to feed.
There were too many injuries on Hebai's body, and he smelled the smell while taking medicine in Dong Xia, "It's so fragrant, what is my sister-in-law doing again?" β
"Shredded chicken porridge and egg cake fritters, there are still in the pot, you can eat them later and then go back."
"Good!"
Hebai, who was lying on the bed, smelled the smell and opened his eyes, and when he saw that it was Ming Lan Ying, he stubbornly closed his eyes and pretended to be dead, Ming Lan Ying was not going to worry about this little girl for this little thing.
"What's wrong?"
Dong Xia shook his head, "The fight is not light, there are too many injuries, Brother Ye is too ruthless, but they are all skin injuries, just take care of them for a few days." β
Ming Lanying took a fritter and shook it in front of the crane's white nose, and looked at the little face with closed eyes and pretending to be dead funny, and moved with the fritters.
I could clearly hear her stomach gurgling with hunger, this girl was still pretending to be dead, and Ming Lanying took a bite of the crispy fritters.
"To eat or not to eat? If you don't eat it, I'll take it, and it's the same for Zhao Lao to eat. β
Hebai hurriedly opened his eyes and snatched the tray, "You are really not a good person, tempt me with this kind of thing, don't eat it for nothing!" β
Dong Xia shook her head helplessly, Ming Lanying looked at her with a smile, "Do you know what I like about you?" β
Hebai was also hungry, eating egg cakes and fritters, a mouthful of porridge and a mouthful of cakes, his cheeks bulging, looking at her with puzzled eyes, and said vaguely: "What?" β
Ming Lanying smiled and leaned lazily on the table beside her, "I like you like this, I don't like me, but I can't move me." β
Hebai was so angry that he almost choked on the egg cake in his mouth, and after eating the porridge and cakes, he reached out and rubbed it on the sheets, smashing it and smashing it, "I didn't eat enough!" β
Ming Lanying looked at the stains on the sheets, held back her anger and didn't hit her, and looked at her with a smile.
"Your brother won't let you eat more, you can't afford to raise it, wash the sheets before noon, otherwise you won't have lunch."
"I don't, I'm a guest!"
Dong Xia shook his head with a smile and went out to eat, and by the way, he also took out the empty dishes that Hebai had eaten, and Ming Lanying raised his eyebrows.
"See, in my place, if you want to eat, you have to work." Turning his head and shouting outside: "Winter and summer, there are wrapped snowflake chestnuts on the table in the yard, you can bring one back as a snack!" β
"Good!"
Hebai smashed his mouth and tasted the porridge and cakes just now, and suddenly became a little curious about Xuehua Chestnut, but the rebellious psychology, except for Ye Juelu, she had never served anyone.
"I don't wash, I want snowflake chestnuts!"
Ming Lanying was impatient with the bear child, and her smile faded, "It's okay if you don't wash it, but you don't have anything to eat, and you don't have snowflake chestnuts, if it weren't for your brother's face, you wouldn't even have a bowl of porridge." β
Hebai looked at her in disbelief, "You dare to use my brother to press me!" β
"Yes and what."
Hebai blushed angrily, but the injuries on his body had just been rubbed with medicine, and he was still in pain, unable to move, and he grabbed the sheets angrily, glaring at Ming Lanying angrily.
"This is my brother's home!"
Ming Lanying plucked out her ears and said indifferently, "I bought this house, the food and drink you use to lie down are all mine, and your brother is working obediently under the fence, how do you think your treatment will be better than your brother?" β
Hebai didn't expect it to be like this, he couldn't say anything dirty with his teeth, and he only had one sentence after holding it for a long time, "You are so vicious!" β
"Wash the sheets before lunch." Ming Lanying waved her hand and went out, before the door was closed, Hebai heard her say, "Eat barbecue at noon, what do you want to eat?" β
Ning Er and Dong Xia outside reported more than a dozen dish names, and Hebai was moved when he heard it, thinking about it, and finally slapped his palm on the pillow with resentment.
She came all the way to Biansai, just to go to her eldest brother to live a free life, and she suffered a lot along the way, but she didn't expect to come here to find out that her eldest brother was actually eating soft rice! And she will continue to suffer, what a sin!
However, the world is big, and the food is the biggest.
Hebai lay on the warm bed for a long time, and when he got back to his senses, he pulled the sheets and got out of bed, and walked out of the house with a straight face, without looking at the three people in the yard, and began to wash the sheets clumsily after hitting a basin of cold water.
As soon as these hands touched the water, they were frozen, endured the biting cold, quickly washed and wrung out to dry, put the frozen red hands to their mouths, and snorted aggrievedly.
Muffled walked to Ming Lanying's side, "After washing, I want to eat snowflake chestnuts." β
Ming Lanying looked at her red hands in surprise, and for a while she didn't know whether to feel sorry for her first or laugh at her.
"Let's go into the house, in winter and summer, rub some medicine on her hands, and Ning'er will bake some sweet potatoes."
"Good!" Ning Er obediently went to the kitchen to pick up a basket of sweet potatoes and trotted into the house.
Dongxia looked at her with a stubborn and unconvinced look, but the tone of wanting to eat was pitiful, and he pulled her into the house funny, "Why are you so stubborn?" There is hot water boiling in the bathroom all the time, we are sitting and waiting for you, but you don't ask, Ning'er wants to talk and stop wanting to tell you! β
Hebai's aggrieved red eyes, obviously one year older than Dong Xia, but he seems to be a bear child who has not grown up. When she entered the house, she sat on a stool and gave her medicine in winter and summer, and she looked at the roasted sweet potatoes in the kang and the snowflake chestnuts on the low table.
Ming Lanying looked at the account book and said casually: "If you want to eat, take it yourself, don't expect others to feed you." β
She didn't raise her head, but the words were said to Hebai, Hebai's hands were wrapped in a bandage in winter and summer, and the water in winter was the coldest, and she was a white and tender hand with ten fingers that did not touch the spring water, and she soaked in the ice water for a while, and there were several small wounds that were cracked and not noticed.
Even so, it couldn't stop her from eating with red eyes, steaming roasted sweet potatoes, even if it was very hot, she was reluctant to let go, and took a big bite with tears.
Ning'er kept fanning her, "Auntie, aren't you hot?" My mother said that you can't eat anything too hot, your stomach will burn out. β
There was still a piece of hot sweet potato in Hebai's mouth, and he couldn't speak, so he could only shake his head, swallow it, and be burned, "When you are hungry for two days, you will feel delicious even if you eat snow." β
Ning Er tilted her head suspiciously, then shook her head, and said with a serious face: "Mother makes food for Ning Er every day, Ning Er has never been hungry." β
After speaking, Ning Er pushed the snowflake chestnuts towards her, and the white sugar melted and hung on the chestnuts, and then formed into frosting, and the yellow and fat chestnuts were wrapped in frosting and crystal clear, and they smelled sweet.
"Auntie is so pitiful, this one is delicious."
Hebai didn't think about it so much, and when he saw something delicious, he grabbed something and tasted it.
Ming Lanying couldn't help laughing, and Dong Xia also covered her mouth and snickered.
Hebai chewed in his mouth again, and asked vaguely, "When is lunch?" I'm going to eat barbecue! β
Ming Lanying regretted a little that she agreed to Ye Juelu, she shouldn't let this bear child stay, she was too edible, "I just had breakfast, and I still have an hour to cook, what do you think?" β
Dong Xia pointed to Hebai's belly and said with a smile: "You just have a bowl of shredded chicken porridge, three egg cakes, two fritters, two roasted sweet potatoes, and a handful of snowflake chestnuts in your stomach, why are you still thinking about lunch, and you are not afraid of breaking your stomach!" β
Hebai stuffed another snowflake chestnut in his mouth, "I'm growing my body, it's normal to eat more!" β
Ming Lanying was speechless and held her forehead, "I'd better let your brother send you back to You's house, according to your way of eating, I can't afford to raise you if it goes on like this." β
When Hebai heard this, he suddenly felt that the roasted sweet potatoes and chestnuts in his hands were not fragrant, and the whole person wilted instantly, "I won't go back......"
Dong Xia was puzzled, "It's good to go back, the border is barren and bitter cold, it can't compare to the rich and prosperous Jiangnan, and the cold winter of the side is very long, you can't stand it......"
Hebai shook his head again and again to resist, "I don't, I won't go back, even if I die here, I won't go back!" β
Ning Er hurriedly snorted three times, and looked at her disapprovingly with a small frown, "Auntie, my mother said, you can't put that word on your lips, it's not good, hurry up." β
Hebai lowered his forehead with a smile and touched Ning'er's forehead, "Okay, my aunt said the wrong thing." β
