Returning from the road, scattered flowers are like promises (47)
He watched Wen Xien straighten up and raise his hand to gently stroke Miao Hua's head.
"What did you do today?"
It's really embarrassing to say, she let a five-year-old child cook so much, but Wen Xien can't help it, she really can't eat the food she cooks.
Thinking about it this way, she was not even as good as a five-year-old child.
Miao Hua dragged Wen Xien to serve the meal.
"There's stir-fried meat with mushrooms, and there's egg custard."
As soon as Wen Xien entered, she asked about the fragrance, and she sniffed it with a slightly exaggerated expression, teasing the child.
"It smells so good."
The child is thin-skinned, and the tips of her ears are red when she praises her like this.
He stuffed the chopsticks into Wen Xien's hand, lowered his head and said sullenly, "Eat." ”
Wen Xien closed his mouth and ate obediently.
Miao Hua has been in a good mood lately, because there are no annoying strangers to disturb his and Wen Xien's life again.
Although he worries about firewood, rice, oil and salt every day, Miao Hua does not feel hard or impatient at all, on the contrary, he likes this ordinary life very much, and he even wants to spend this life in this countryside with Wen Xien.
But every time Wen Xien takes medicine, this beautiful fantasy will be broken, and then he will wake up, Wen Xien's body has survived this winter, so what about next winter? Or next winter?
There are a lot of uncertainties, and this is beyond Miao Hua's control, with his current situation, he has no way to stop it, he can't do anything, he can only watch.
Wen Xien didn't like to take medicine, the medicine was very bitter and astringent, and her whole face wrinkled every time she ate it.
The child was watching her finish drinking, not letting go of a drop, and when he finished checking, he would coax Wen Xien to give two candied fruits.
Many times, Wen Xien always feels that she is the child who needs to be taken care of.
Wen Xien came back a little late today, Miao Hua's meal was ready, and Wen Xien hadn't come back yet.
He crouched on the threshold, quietly looking into the distance.
Under the orange sunset, everything is covered in a warm color.
At this point, Wen Xien almost came back, but it was late today.
Miao Hua knew that his nerves were a little tense, after all, Wen Xien couldn't guarantee that he would come back at this point every day, it was possible that something happened on the road, or it could be for other reasons, it was normal to be late.
But where he always comforted himself so much in his heart, Miao Hua still had a kind of uneasiness that he couldn't say.
He was really afraid, what happened to Wen Xien, the mountain was so steep, what if Wen Xien was accidentally injured? Or what if you encounter some dangerous animals? And Wen Xien is so beautiful, what if she is bullied?!
Wen Xien is a cripple who can't lift her hands, if she is bullied, she can't struggle, and in that mountain forest, even if she cuts her throat, it's useless.
The more I thought about it, the more terrible I felt, Miao Hua's heart seemed to be carrying a stone of 10 million catties - nervous, unable to be quiet for a long time.
Time seemed to have become extremely slow and grinding, Miao Hua couldn't help but stand up, ran a little way, stretched his neck to look left and right.
He wanted to go and see, but he was afraid of going far away, in case Wen Xien came back and didn't see him, he would definitely come out to look for him, for fear that the two of them would miss it, Miao Hua didn't dare to go far.
His mind was so confused that he couldn't find a solution to this matter, and he kept looking around, his brow furrowed tightly.
Just when the night was about to strike, Miao Hua finally saw a figure.
His heart was happy, and he hurriedly stepped forward, but found that something was not quite right, and when he got closer, he found that Wen Xien was still carrying a person on his back.
Wen Xien was on a stick and carrying Zhou Wenying on his back.
The pace that had been hurried slowly slowed down until it stopped.
Wen Xien's back is so thin, and her legs and feet are inconvenient, because she has a person on her back, a thin layer of sweat appears on her forehead, although her steps are still very steady, but Miao Hua can still see that Wen Xien is not as relaxed as it seems.
She's actually struggling.
Wen Xien didn't show it when he was carrying it so hard, and the woman's two arms were wrapped around Wen Xien's neck, and her chin rested on her shoulders.
Obviously, it was originally just a position that belonged to him, only he had touched it, but now it has the breath of another person.
Miao Hua knew that he shouldn't, maybe he still had murderous intentions towards Zhou Wenying, an ordinary mortal, and he wanted to break off the eye-catching arm and twist off her head.
This is not the right way to go.
But they seemed so close, so good, what was all his worries?
Miao Hua waited for Wen Xien to come over, and Zhou Wenying buried her head in her neck, as if she didn't want to get off her body.
Zhou Wenying's leg was bitten by a snake, Wen Xien was on the way back, next to the stream, heard a cry for help, looked for the sound and saw Zhou Wenying with tears on his face, and when he asked, he found that he was bitten by a snake.
But fortunately, the snake was not very poisonous, Wen Xien sucked the toxin out, and Zhou Wenying's legs couldn't walk, so he carried her back.
Originally, she wanted to carry Zhou Wenying home by herself, but Zhou Wenying said she didn't want to, she has many children in her family, she is not favored, and her family is also male, she said that if her father and mother knew about it, she would definitely be scolded, Wen Xien thought that she still had a few medicinal herbs at home, which could just make Zhou Wenying's leg injury heal as soon as possible, so she wanted to bring her home.
Fortunately, Wen Xien's house is in a relatively remote place in the village, and there are generally not many people, and he didn't bump into anyone when he came back with Zhou Wenying on his back, otherwise there would be some rumors.
Carrying Zhou Wenying into the house, let her sit on a wooden stool first, and Wen Xien went to find the medicinal herbs that had not come and sold yesterday.
Only the children and Zhou Wenying were left in the house.
Zhou Wenying leisurely looked around at the layout in the room, where was there still a fragile and pitiful appearance just now.
Miao Hua saw all this in his eyes, and the expression on his face became more and more cold.
Zhou Wenying, who was looking around, inadvertently looked at Miao Hua's gaze, her body was slightly stiff, she straightened her back, and secretly scolded herself in her heart, isn't she just a little kid? What's so scary?
So her tone also became dissatisfied: "What do you want to do with me?" ”
The child just stared at her quietly and coldly with his two black eyes, with no expression on his face, and looked at her like a dead man.
Zhou Wenying was so pierced by this look that she didn't dare to look at each other, and she didn't dare to look around anymore, and her clenched palms were sticky sweat.
