"Don't worry, eldest sister, my mother is seriously ill and still in a coma, so I'll go see her. ”

Seeing the peasant woman's nervousness and crampedness, how could he not know that it was his mother's situation that frightened her?

Don't say it's her, and I still can't adapt to my mother's appearance.

The gentle and loving mother in his memory suddenly couldn't move or speak, couldn't open his eyes and didn't feel anything, only the slightest breath told him that his mother was still alive.

He wasn't alone.

The broken lamp is like a bean, and his departing figure looks a little gloomy, which makes everyone silent.

"By the way, you go to the kitchen and cook some food for the three of you", the village chief instructed his cousin, and said to him apologetically: "Mr. Bu, little brother, because of this plague in our village, the poultry and livestock have all died, only those melons, fruits and vegetables can still be eaten, we have tested before, there is no problem, but this meal is a little vegetarian, please forgive me." ”

Chu Tao glanced at the peasant woman's not very good face, and took the initiative to take over the cooking work: "I have been in charge since I was a child, I am familiar with the work on the stove, and the eldest sister's illness is not yet well, so I should pay more attention to rest."

Go and rest first, and I'll come. ”

Originally, he didn't give up listening to the village chief say that there were only vegetarian foods, and he was already interested, but when he suddenly heard that his master was going to cook himself, he began to look forward to it again.

For Chu Tao's cooking skills, he is full of confidence and expectation!

At the moment, he also persuaded the village chief and his wife together with Chu Tao, but the two couldn't refuse, so the peasant woman had to take Chu Tao to the kitchen.

There was still a fire on the stove, and the peasant woman helped add some firewood to it, and pointed out all kinds of ingredients to Chu Tao one by one.

"Little brother, I'll stay and give you a hand, right?"

"No need, eldest sister, I'll just cook a few dishes, no trouble, you can go out and sit for a while." ”

The peasant woman no longer insisted, she was still worried about her own child and the newborn child, because of the epidemic, she could not breastfeed the little one, so she could only give him some rice soup.

The little guy is also a hard life, and he has survived all the way to the present, but after all, he is too young, and the condition of the two children is not very good, so she has to hurry back to the room, take the herbs that Bai Xi gave before, and smoke the house for them.

After the peasant woman left, Chu Tao looked at the green peppers, flour, and sweet potato leaves on the table, and rummaged in the kitchen, and she actually found a few preserved eggs, looking at these pitiful ingredients, she quickly thought of what to do.

She first peeled the preserved eggs and cut them, heated the oil in the pot, fried the tiger skin on the surface of the green peppers, added a little salt and stir-fried, fried the green peppers evenly on both sides, and then put them aside.

Cut the minced garlic and chopped green onions, heat the oil in the pan until it is 70% hot, pour the oil into the mixing bowl to boil until fragrant, and add vinegar and soy sauce to taste.

Then tear the cold green pepper into strips and put it on the preserved egg, and pour the hot oil that has just been mixed on it, and the sour and spicy taste arouses the salty freshness of the preserved egg.

After a bowl of tiger skin and green pepper eggs was ready, she wiped her hands, took the green vegetables on the side and pounded the juice, added it to the flour, and kneaded it into a green dough with water.

After the dough was rolled out and folded, cut into thin noodles, boiled in wide water, and put it in the pot, she took a few small bowls, put minced garlic, lard, soy sauce, salt and some vinegar, and put in the remaining chopped green onions and green peppers.

After the noodles are cooked, they are poured into the hot noodle soup separately, and the steam is rising, bringing out the aroma of the whole house.

Then take the sweet potato leaves and wash and pick them well, put the lard in the pot, pat the garlic cloves, and quickly stir-fry a plate of fried sweet potato leaves, the heat is well handled, and the sweet potato leaves are between broken and soft, which retains the flavor of the vegetables themselves to the greatest extent.

Taking a wooden tray, she took the noodles out first, and then folded back to the kitchen to serve the preserved eggs and sweet potato leaves.

Seeing that she had prepared a meal so quickly, the village chief stood up and went to call Bai Xi.

......

Bai Xi returned to the room and saw that his mother was still lying quietly on the bed, so he took a muslin cloth, poured hot water in the basin, and carefully wiped his mother's hands and face.

He then took the teapot on the table, put the stone in it, poured water into the teacup, and fed it to his mother.

Mother can support until now, all rely on this stone, before he also tried to feed his mother medicine, after his mother drank it, her face quickly shriveled, almost separated from him forever.

So, no matter how much he disagreed with some of what the stone was doing, he had no other way.

He was able to escape from the clan with his mother that day because of the help of this stone.

But he could never forget the scene when the stone pierced the guard's head, and the sound of the wind was like a scream, often ringing in his ears.

After feeding the potion to his mother, he took the stone out and found that the rings on it had a few more rings, and it looked denser.

"After helping you this time, I'll stop. ”

He really couldn't figure out what he was holding in his hand.

If it is said to be an evil thing, if you put it in the water, it can become a potion, and if it wants to, it can cure any disease.

The mother has not yet woken up, and only because it only plays a maintenance role.

But if it was a sacred object, why did the clan put it in such a hidden place, when he found it, it was in an inaccessible cave.

On that day, he went to collect medicine and got lost, and the soles of his feet slipped on a rainy day, so he rolled down the hillside.

Just when he thought he was going to die, he woke up again, and he was already in a cave with thick cobwebs, and it looked like no one had come for a long time.

He looked at himself, but fortunately, it was only some abrasions, and he didn't want to stay in the hole for long, so he got up and was about to leave.

But as if there was some guidance in the dark, his gaze involuntarily moved to a gap in the mountain wall.

There was a glimmer of light in the cracks, like a silent summons.

I don't know what he thought at the time, so the ghost sent his hand into it and pulled it out, and it turned out a gloomy wooden box.

The lock was like an ornament, easy to open, and when he opened the box, he found that it was a piece of something wrapped in a charm.

Although he had never been exposed to spells, he also vaguely knew that what needed to be suppressed with spells should be some very powerful objects.

"Take me out ......"

This thought suddenly popped into his mind, Bai Xi shook his hands in fright, and the box fell to the ground.

Where the hell did the voice come from? How did it come into my head? It's so weird!

"Hehe, don't be afraid, I am a medicine stone, I can cure all diseases, and I was suppressed here because I fell into a trap. We are fated, why don't we make a deal? You take me out, and I can do one thing for you. ”

Although it was strange why this thing knew what he was thinking, Bai Xi didn't believe what it said at all.

This thing is so strange that there is no need to think about it at all, Bai Xi picked up the wooden box, stuffed it back into the gap, and left without looking back.
