After Niu Xingxing and his brother looked at each other, he told Xia Houyu exactly what he said to Niu Tangtang, and then added: "Dad, I know you never like us lying, but the situation at that time was too complicated. , if we don’t do that, neither you nor third brother may survive..."
The words of blame were already on his lips. Xia Houyu looked at the two children who had done something wrong, and finally let out a long sigh, his eyes filled with self-blame: "It's my fault that made you suffer."
"Dad, please don't say that. If it weren't for protecting the three of us, you wouldn't have been so seriously injured, and my mother wouldn't have died..." Niu said with tears streaming down his face.
Niu Xingxing said nothing, but his eyes turned red.
Xia Houyu didn't speak anymore, he just hugged the two children and patted their backs gently until their emotions calmed down.
When Niu Tangtang came in with lean meat porridge, the father and son were still holding it.
She coughed lightly and joked: "It's rare to see a father and his son have such a good relationship. I've cooked lean meat porridge for you and eat it while it's hot."
Xia Houyu lowered his head and looked at the porridge brought by Niu Tangtang. The lean meat foam was clearly visible, and some shredded vegetables were added. The porridge was thick and the aroma kept wafting into his nose.
Nowadays, most areas of Dachu are at war, and it is winter. People everywhere are homeless and hungry.
I just heard from the two children that Niu Tangtang escaped from her husband's house, but she seemed to be very generous to herself and the children.
Niu Tangtang saw Xia Houyu staring at the porridge, frowning for a while, sighing for a while, and looked at him suspiciously: "Are you afraid that the porridge is poisonous?"
"Young girl, you misunderstood. I think it's not the coldest time yet, so I can save as much as I can." In fact, Xiahou Yu's stomach was already growling with hunger, but if he saves one bite, the children will be able to eat more. After taking a bite, the heat and cold were bearable for the time being, but the feeling of being hungry was too uncomfortable.
"If you don't eat, your body will have no nutrition. Without nutrition, your body won't be able to recover quickly. Who will do the work for me if you don't recover?" Niu Tangtang thrust the bowl into Xia Houyu's arms, "Don't be pretentious, eat quickly!"
The corner of Xia Houyu's mouth twitched. It seemed that he was worrying too much. The cow girl only wanted to let him work.
"Then I won't be polite."
It was clear that he was seriously injured, but his behavior was very elegant, which did not match his face of steamed buns.
The most important thing is his aura.
The evil aura emanating from his whole body when he first saw it made people shudder.
But now, the evil spirit has completely disappeared, and Xia Houyu exudes an aura of tranquility.
Niu Tangtang narrowed his eyes slightly. Is a person who can skillfully control his aura really just a blacksmith?
What if the identity of the blacksmith is fake and he is some kind of criminal thief who is on the run...
Niu Tangtang's tiger body trembled, and he looked at Xia Houyu who was sipping porridge and asked: "You have carried a lot of lives, haven't you?"
"cough!"
Xiahou Yu choked, and the two children turned pale.
"Dad, we are all bad guys!" Seeing the tense atmosphere, Niu Haohao immediately came to the rescue. "We gave all the valuable things to the bandits, but they are not satisfied yet and want our lives. They all deserve to die."
"Miss Niu, I accidentally fell off the cliff at that time. I was worried about the safety of my three children and mistakenly thought that you were with the bandits." Xia Houyu looked at Niu Tangtang seriously, "When I recover from my injury, I I can take you to the place where the incident occurred..."
"I don't have that free time, so I just asked casually." Niu Tangtang was not very curious about the experiences of the four father and son. He still relied on them to make a fortune. "It's getting late. You two go back to sleep next door now. Your father I still have a fever, so I’m careful to infect you.”
"good."
This time, the two children were very good. They nodded and went back to the next room to sleep.
Niu Tangtang brought some clean straw and spread it on the ground. Then he took a quilt and lay down with Niu Yunyun in his arms: "You should sleep too. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, just call me."
Xia Houyu was a little unaccustomed to sleeping on the bed while others slept on the floor: "Miss Niu, how about I sleep on the floor?"
"Don't be humble to me. When you recover from your injury, I won't let you sleep on the bed if you want to." Niu Tangtang snorted and turned over, "Hurry up and lie down to sleep. If you make any more noise, I will put you there." Throw it out."
Xia Houyu scratched his head. The cow girl had quite a temper.
He lay down slowly and closed his eyes. Bits and pieces of the past few months flashed through his mind, and Xia Houyu couldn't help but clench his hands.
But the next second, fatigue hit him and he fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Niu Tangtang finally got up after fighting with the quilt for a long time.
This body looks like a cow, but is actually very weak.
If you want to recover, you can't just lose weight. You also need internal supplementation, a two-pronged approach, to achieve the ideal state.
Go to the kitchen first and make a fire to cook.
I entered the space while no one was around.
The seeds sown yesterday were already bearing fruit, so Niu Tangtang quickly harvested them and planted new ones.
"Crash..."
"Eh?" Niu Tangtang took out his ears, "Why is there the sound of water?"
At this moment, little Loli's voice came from his mind: "Congratulations, master, for unlocking the spiritual spring."
"Spiritual spring?"
Niu Tangtang's eyes lit up as soon as he heard it. He followed the sound of water to the back of the house and saw the clear spring water rippling in the sunlight.
"Warm reminder, Lingquan can not only wash away impurities, but it can also strengthen the body when taken internally."
Niu Tangtang turned around and entered the house, found a bucket, filled the bathtub in the house to the top, and then soaked himself in it.
"ah……"
It is indeed a spiritual spring. It is obviously cold, but when you soak in it, it is not cold at all. Instead, you feel a stream of heat flowing through the pores all over your body, constantly entering the body. In less than half an hour, the originally clear spring water , turned black, and emitted an unpleasant smell.
Niu Tangtang immediately pinched his nose, stood up, wiped himself off, and put on his clothes.
There was a bronze mirror in the room. Niu Tangtang took a look and felt that the bumps on his face were much better and his body was much lighter.
She immediately left the space and started cooking porridge with water from the spiritual spring.
Soon, the aroma wafted out from the kitchen, and the two children, whose stomachs were already growling with hunger, ran towards the kitchen.
When looking at Niu Tangtang, he was stunned for a moment.
"Sister Tangtang, why is your face different?" Niu Haohao pointed at Niu Tangtang's face and said, "It seems to be a little whiter?"
"Yes, I've applied the ointment. You two should wash up quickly and start eating soon."
Niu Tangtang cooked sweet potato and millet porridge in the morning, paired with cucumber, radish pickles, and one egg per person, which was nutritionally balanced.
"Fifteen gold coins arrived."
The beautiful voice once again reminded me of Niu Haohao who was eating. He looked at the dancing Niu Tangtang and frowned: "Brother, do you think there is no one more stupid than Sister Tangtang in the world?"
