"Why are you the only one? Where is your cousin?"
Luo Daye asked.
Zhou Xia raised her chin toward the east room.
He sat there minding his own business and ate all the tiger meat.
Luo Da'e followed Zhou Xia's guidance and glanced towards the east room, and was annoyed when she saw the door was closed.
Go over and knock on the door.
Zhou Xia stopped her with her eyes.
Zhou Xia faced the door of the east room and gently advised her mother: "Mom, don't disturb my cousin's rest. He is exhausted after a long day's journey!"
Luo Da'e came back to her senses and raised her voice: "You girl, why do you feel so sorry for me? Let him sleep. Now you can feel relieved, right?"
"Hehe, thank you mother."
"Mom, let me help you put away the dishes."
"Okay, why is my daughter so hard-working? If someone marries her from now on, she will be really lucky..."
Mother and daughter sang together and went to the kitchen.
In the east room, Luo Fengtang didn't want to hear it, but he heard it clearly.
He turned over, feeling a little restless and restless in his sleep.
What's going on tonight?
Logically speaking, it should be very tiring.
However, there was an inexplicable excitement.
The more you force yourself to sleep, the more awake you become.
Turning over and over in my mind, Qing'er's figure was everywhere.
Stare at him, annoy him, pinch him, glance at him...
She pursed her lips and smiled, she laughed, she smiled evilly, she snickered, she smiled slyly...
Luo Fengtang put his hands behind his head and stared at the dim old cloth tent with his eyes open, grinning stupidly.
At the end of the day, I just couldn't help it.
The urge to find her became stronger and stronger.
Knowing that she was about to fall asleep, I just wanted to see her or the room where she slept.
Maybe he could calm down.
Luo Fengtang stood up and strode to the back of the door. As soon as he opened the door bolt, he heard footsteps coming from the kitchen towards the main room.
Aunt and cousin are here?
He turned quickly and went to the back window of the house.
He opened the window and silently jumped to the back of the house.
Not wanting to be discovered, he chose to climb over the backyard wall and escape.
The fresh air outside the room rushed into his lungs, and he felt more awake.
Taking a step forward, under the cover of the night, he ran like a gust of wind towards Lao Yang's house at the north end of the village...
…
Luo Da'e secretly put her ear to the door of the east room.
After listening for a while, he quickly returned to the kitchen.
"Xia'er, I just went to listen. There was no snoring inside. I'm afraid your cousin is still awake."
Luo Da'e lowered her voice and said excitedly.
Zhou Xia stood by the pot, holding a wooden basin for washing feet.
Hearing this, there was a trace of satisfaction in her eyes.
"Let's take action quickly before uncle comes home." Zhou Xia whispered.
Luo Daye nodded and brought a gourd and gourd to scoop out water.
Ladle the hot water in the pot into the wooden basin.
While scooping up, Luo Daye couldn't help but ask Zhou Xia: "Xia'er, this is a method, can it really be done?"
Zhou Xia said: "Mother, when you were cooking, did you follow my instructions?"
Luo Da'e nodded quickly.
"What did I give you to me..."
"Albizia julibrissin." Zhou Xia reminded.
"Yes, yes, I will pinch out the juice from the Albizia Julibrissin as you told me, and put it on your cousin's bowl and chopsticks."
"It's colorless and tasteless. Look, he didn't notice any clues when he ate before!" Luo Daye said proudly.
Zhou Xia nodded secretly.
It's a pity that it's spring now and the albizia julibrissin is not mature yet.
If you wait until autumn to mature and form flower seeds, grind them and mix them into rice, the effect will be really obvious!
Zhou Xia said: "Just a little juice in the bowl of chopsticks is not enough."
"What should we do? Isn't that just a fool's errand?" Luo Daye asked.
Zhou Xia smiled and looked at the wooden basin in her hand.
"Wait a minute, mix the remaining Shao Daozi that uncle drank into the hot water, and bring it to my cousin to scald his feet with hot water."
"If you touch it twice, the medicinal effect of Albizia Julibrissin will come on." She said.
Luo Daye suddenly realized.
"I, Xia'er, am still smart, I couldn't have thought of this," she said.
Soon, she brought over the Shaodaozi wine that Blacksmith Luo had collected.
Zhou Xia exchanged the wine for water with a determined sneer on her face.
She didn't want to wait any longer.
She didn't even exist in her cousin's eyes.
Acting coquettishly and pretending to be soft may show off your goodwill towards other men.
But to my cousin, it was of no use at all.
If that's the case, don't blame her for being so violent.
After a while, she brought the basin of foot-washing water with wine in it to scald her cousin's feet.
Then, the alcohol penetrated through the soles of his feet, stimulating the medicinal properties of the Albizia Julibrissin in his body.
He is so energetic, and when the drug takes effect, his behavior will definitely be out of control.
When the time comes, whenever he does something offensive to her, she will scream, cry, and beg for mercy...
'Alarmed' my mother.
My mother rushed in and happened to catch this scene, causing her to make a fuss.
Hum!
My uncle is an honest and honest man.
My cousin is also kind and tough-tempered.
After bullying her like this and making her feel wronged, her uncle would definitely pressure her cousin to take responsibility for her and give her an explanation!
At that time, she can legitimately marry her cousin.
Even if it is small, it can be made do.
As long as she can justifiably stay with her cousin, there will be plenty of opportunities to drive away that Yang Ruoqing.
Zhou Xia made up her mind and went over the next steps and details with Luo Da'e in detail.
Then, Zhou Xia confidently picked up the footbath and walked towards the east room...
…
Yang Ruoqing tossed and turned on the bed, completely sleepless.
In my mind, I was thinking about how to drive Zhou Xia and her daughter out of the old Luo family.
At this time, there was a sudden movement under the window at the back of the house.
Although it was extremely slight, she still captured it in this quiet night.
wildcat? Or a mouse?
Or a thief?
In a flash of lightning, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
When the thought came to an end, her person had quietly arrived under the window.
There is an extra stick in his hand.
This window is not bolted tightly.
Because it is now past Qingming Festival and the temperature has risen, she likes to leave some gaps in the windows.
So that fresh air can blow in.
He pressed his eyes against the gap under the window and peered out.
Outside the window is the courtyard wall.
On a moonlit day, there was nothing except the horizontal bamboo pole used to dry clothes.
Maybe she was paranoid.
Just as she was about to look away, out of the corner of her eye she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure cast on the ground over there.
Shadow put his hands behind his head, as if leaning against the wall lazily.
Familiar body movements...
"Tang Yazi!"
She called out the window.
The shadow was stunned for a moment.
Then it flashed by.
The next moment, his familiar face appeared under the window.
"Qing'er, aren't you asleep yet?"
he asked in a low voice.
There was unconcealable excitement and excitement in his voice.
"come on in."
She said, pushing the window open and watching him jump in from the window with agility.
