Chapter 13 Confession
Mu Pozi, who was also woken up by the shouting and scolding outside, was sighing and wiping her tears, and she was startled when she heard the girl's scream.
"Black girl, what's wrong with you?"
The black girl had a bitter face, looked at her old lady aggrievedly, and said pitifully: "I walked too much into the mountain yesterday, my legs hurt, and I may not be able to get off the ground." ”
How could she forget that she was just a mortal in the flesh at this time? Where could these legs withstand the spiritual power of the Thousand Miles Fu? After running hundreds of miles in a day, it was a great luck that these legs were not wasted, but it is estimated that she really can't get off the ground recently.
Mu Pozi looked at the pitiful appearance of the black girl, and her heart was very painful, it was she who had affected her daughter, she had been timid since she was a child, and she was even afraid of seeing a mouse.
But now, not only dare to go up the mountain to catch chickens, but even dare to do that kind of thing (stealing chickens), which is forced by these difficult days.
Mu Pozi turned her head, not daring to let the black girl see the tears she shed.
"You can't move your legs, just rest at home for a few days, and my mother will make you breakfast. ”
The scolding of the iron woman outside, there was no sense of rest, the black girl rubbed her dizzy head, and almost lost other consciousness from the waist down except for the pain. She wanted to get some more sleep now.
"Mother, I left half a pheasant last night, you can give it to your aunt, don't let her scold. ”
Mu Pozi glanced back at the haggard cheeks of the black girl, her lips twitched a few times, and finally there was nothing, she nodded, picked up the half chicken on the stove, and walked out.
The black girl noticed that the old lady had taken a lot of steps overnight, and got back into the thin layer of quilt, covering her head, and fell asleep again with the noisy scolding outside and the gentle persuasion of the old lady.
I slept until dark, and I didn't wake up until my stomach was really hungry.
When I opened my eyes, I was worried and distressed about Shangmu Pozi, I don't know how long I cried again, and my eyes were already red from crying.
"Black girl, you scared your mother to death, your mother screamed for a day, but she couldn't wake you up. ”
The black girl rubbed her stomach, smelled the aroma of sweet potato and kudzu in the pot, and reluctantly sat up, but her legs still had no sensation, she couldn't touch it, it hurt when she touched it, and she couldn't move.
"Mother, I'm hungry. ”
"Mother, I'll get you something to eat. ”
When Mu Pozi turned around to look for food, the black girl took out the ginseng slices and the ink lingzhi the size of a fingernail that she had been given before.
When the old lady walked to the edge of the kang with a bowl of white water, a white potato and a kudzu, she handed it directly to the old lady.
Originally, she didn't want the old lady to know about ginseng, but now she can't go to the ground at all, let alone boil the medicine, so this matter can only be handed over to the old lady.
"Mother, this is the ginseng I found in the mountains, you can cook it now, wait for a few days to drink it, your illness will definitely be cured!"
Although Mu Pozi has lived in a poor ravine for half her life, she also knows the value of ginseng, which is a very valuable thing, looking at the inconspicuous thing like ginger slices that the black girl put on the earthen kang, and raised her eyes to look at the black girl suspiciously.
She hadn't seen what ginseng looked like in half her life, how did the black girl know that it was ginseng?
Seeing Mu Pozi's doubts, the black girl chuckled in her heart, which is also the reason why she didn't want her mother to know, a lie always has to be made up for with countless lies.
"Mother, although I wasn't sure that this was ginseng before, I put this in the chicken soup yesterday, you see if your body feels a lot better today, since it is effective, doesn't it mean that this thing is ginseng? ”
Hearing the black girl say this, although Mu Pozi still has doubts, she has also dispelled half of them.
"Are these pieces really ginseng?"
The black girl didn't dare to take out all the things in her arms, but kept nodding, grabbed the white potato and stuffed it into her mouth.
Mu Pozi was skeptical, but finally listened to the black girl's words, and cooked the ginseng slices given by the black girl with a small piece of black lacquer, and the aroma wafted out after a while.
Mu Pozi is convinced that only a good thing like ginseng can have such a fragrance!
Mu Pozi drank a bowl, let the black girl also drink a bowl, the black girl sat on the kang and saw that there was still a pot in the pot, so she didn't refuse to drink a bowl too, her legs that are about to be wasted now really need to be repaired.
After eating and drinking, the black girl rolled her eyes and said, "Mother, you sleep first, I'll go for convenience." ”
Mu Pozi looked at the black girl's legs and didn't agree.
"I'll go with you, how can I rest assured that you're alone. ”
The black girl was anxious when she heard this, the man in the firewood room hadn't eaten for another day, and she had to take today's medicine, otherwise when would she be able to take care of her body? That is the man she has prepared to marry in the future.
"Mother, just let me go by myself! I'm fine, really. ”
Knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu, when the black girl blinked her eyes, Mu Pozi knew what the black girl was thinking. immediately lowered his face, stared at the black girl and said, "Say, what are you hiding from your mother?"
The black girl chuckled in her heart, and then replied with a grin.
"What can I do, I'm so old, I'm not embarrassed to follow my mother when it's convenient!"
Mu Pozi was not moved at all, but looked at the black girl even more suspiciously.
"You used to be timid, and you always took your mother to accompany you when you went out at night, have you forgotten?"
The black girl finally couldn't maintain a stiff smile on her face, and she didn't dare to look at Mu Pozi's eyes.
Now the black girl is no longer the black girl she used to be, and Mu Pozi's daughter is gone, can she see that she is not her daughter.
"Mother, I'm ...... I do have something to hide from you. ”
The lesser of the two harms, the black girl decided to confess, anyway, this matter will be known sooner or later.
"There is a man in our firewood room......"
The black girl cautiously glanced at the frightened Mu Pozi and hurriedly explained.
"Mother, don't worry, he is definitely not a bad person, I rescued him in the mountains, he is seriously injured and needs to take medicine, and now he can't move at all, so you don't have to be afraid at all. ”
Mu Pozi was silent for a long time, not knowing whether she was frightened or shocked.
After a while, Mu Pozi knocked the black girl's head hard, and scolded with hatred: "You dead girl, why are you so bold that even a stranger dares to bring it home?"
Recalling the closed firewood door of her house in the past two days, she said that there was nothing to close in the empty and broken firewood room at home, and it turned out that there were people hidden inside.
Seeing that the black girl was silent, Mu Pozi asked again.
"It's male or female. ”
The black girl replied in a mosquito voice, "It's a man." ”
When Mu Pozi heard this, she was angry and began to slap her thigh. A look of despair, a mouthful of incessant chatter.
"I knew it, I knew it. ”
Then he took off his old straw sandals and slapped the black girl's back several times, and his eyes were red again.
"You dead girl, you don't want your reputation, you dare to hide a man in your own house. ”
