At midnight, as expected, Xiao Cuier got really hot and started talking nonsense.
Niu Dadu never dared to sleep. He sat on the bed and took a nap, but woke up again at 1 o'clock. From time to time, he had to reach out and touch Xiao Cui'er's forehead.
Until I touched a ball of fire.
He was so startled that he almost fell asleep. He quickly got up and went to the kitchen. He brought the medicine, which was still simmering on the stove over low heat, into the room. He half picked up Xiao Cuier and fed her the medicine one spoonful at a time.
Fortunately, Xiao Cuier was still somewhat conscious even though she was having a fever, so she coaxed her into feeding all the medicine.
"Dad, how's it going?" Niu Caohua didn't sleep deeply and got up when she heard the noise.
"The medicine has been fed in."
"Great." Niu Xiaodi didn't fall asleep either, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
In the past few years, Xiao Cui'er has occasionally had overheating. According to their experience, as long as she can drink the medicine and rest for a few days, her health will get better.
"I won't let their family go." Niu Xiaodi felt itchy with hatred when he thought of the two culprits.
"Okay, the days are still long. There are many ways to deal with them. Have a good rest first. Dad, you have worked hard." Niu Caohua also felt aggrieved, but she had just attacked those households in the village. If she did it now, it would easily arouse suspicion. .
Wait a little longer, wait for yourself to make a good plan.
The medicine took effect quickly, and Xiao Cuier's fever had subsided early the next morning, but her body was limp and she had no strength.
Breakfast was made from cow grass flowers, simple millet porridge, a few scrambled eggs, and a plate of pickles.
I had a simple meal. Since I didn't sleep all night last night and didn't work in the fields today, I went back to my room to rest after breakfast.
Niu Caohua saw that the weather was still hot today and she started to sweat in the early morning. After thinking about it, she decided to go to the mountains to cool down. Xiao Cui'er happened to be in good health and went to the mountains to feel more comfortable.
I told Niu Dadu in the room and asked him to go find me in the mountains at noon, so I packed my things and the three of them went up the mountain together.
Because Xiao Cuier was not fully recovered yet, she walked slowly, and she actually saw a few villagers halfway through.
Judging from their appearance, they must have gone into the mountains early in the morning to pick mushrooms.
He Qiuniang smiled awkwardly when she saw Niu Caohua walking towards her.
"Auntie, I came back from picking mushrooms from the mountains." Niucaohua looked as usual and greeted with a smile.
"Yeah, I'm picking up mushrooms. You can't pick them up now. There haven't been many mushrooms in the mountains recently." Another aunt didn't know the situation between their two families and said with a hearty smile.
Niu Caohua: "We're just going to go for a walk in the mountains. It's been too hot recently, so it's cooler in the mountains."
"Then you have to be careful. There are a lot of wild animals in this mountain. We just saw a lot of feathers on the mountainside. I don't know what they were eaten by. They are quite beautiful. Take a look."
Niu Caohua stretched out her head and saw that these were the leftover feathers Yin and the others had eaten yesterday. She thought they were covered in blood, so she didn't pick them up.
"It's really beautiful. Take it home and wash it. Little girl will definitely like it."
"..."
After chatting with them for a few words, he said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, He Qiuniang opened her mouth to say something else, but was interrupted by Niucaohua.
Niu Ergou is a good girl, but she is not smart enough. If she accidentally reveals what she said, she will become a talking point in the village.
The gentle mountain breeze blew away the heat all over my body.
Niu Caohua placed the things and let Xiao Cuier sit on the floor mat to rest.
Niu Xiaodi was afraid that his mother would be bored, so he brought a storybook and told interesting stories in it.
We also ate on the mountain at noon. Niu Caohua caught a few fish, a lot of river shrimp, and hunted a pheasant and wild vegetables.
Set up a stove and cook directly by the stream.
Although it is not as convenient as cooking at home, it is full of wild fun.
Xiao Cuier's health has improved a lot, and she also helps with some small tasks.
Niu Dadu came to the mountains after a nap, and it was he who built the temporary stove.
Just when they were halfway through cooking, a wolf came over with a branch hanging small red fruits in its mouth, placed it directly at the feet of Cow Grass Flower, turned around and left.
Judging from the size of this wolf, he must be Yin's companion. Yin must have noticed it when he brought his family to the mountain.
But I have never seen this fruit before.
It's a bit like sea buckthorn, but the fruit of sea buckthorn is yellow, but this one is red.
To eat or not to eat?
Cowgrass Flower hesitated for several seconds, then picked a fruit and put it into her mouth.
Since it was sent by silver, it must be edible.
After all, he had no reason to harm himself.
As soon as the fruit enters your mouth, there is a sweetness that flows from the mouth, through the throat, directly into the lungs, and permeates the whole body.
My whole body felt full of energy, and even the fatigue from staying up late last night had completely disappeared.
Niu Caohua was really stunned. She didn't expect Yin to give such a good thing to herself.
There is no such magical thing in the mountains. They must have snatched it from the mountains.
Thinking of the dangers she saw in the mountains yesterday, Niu Caohua couldn't help but feel worried for them.
Just don't get hurt.
"Daddy, Aniang, Xiaodi, you guys should eat too. This is from Xiaobai's friend. It's good for your health." Thinking that Xiao Cuier is not well yet, eating this will definitely be useful.
Several people each ate one piece, and as soon as the fruit entered their mouths, their eyes lit up.
nice one!
After eating, I feel full of strength all over my body.
Especially Niu Dadu and Xiao Cuier, one of them didn't sleep all night last night, and now they are very sleepy.
One had a high fever last night and now has no energy.
"Sister, what is this? After eating it, I feel strong all over my body. I feel like I can kill a wild boar with my bare hands." Niu Xiaodi jumped up and down with excitement.
"Cao Hua, my head doesn't hurt anymore." Xiao Cuier looked at her hands in surprise and touched her forehead. The discomfort she felt just now seemed to disappear all of a sudden.
"Xiao Di, please stop being so lazy. A wild boar like you can beat ten of you." Niu Caohua looked at Niu Xiaodi who was feeling good, and struck her mercilessly.
As a person, you should be confident, but not overconfident. To be overconfident is to be conceited.
"Auntie, eat this and some more." There are so many fruits, and I don't know how long they can be stored. It would be great if they could not rot for a long time.
Xiao Cuier was not polite. She took a small handful that her daughter picked off and ate it bit by bit. The more she ate, the brighter her eyes became.
"You guys can eat too." Niucaohua picked half of the fruit on the branch and distributed it to everyone. She also had a small handful.
Put the rest in the basket, wait for Niu Xiaobai to come back in the evening and ask her if this thing can be stored.
Suddenly I smell a mushy smell.
"Dad, take the pot down quickly, the rice is burnt!"
