"Why do I feel like my face is still burning?" When it got dark again, Leng Xiaozhi, who was already lying on a hot bed, said pitifully to Shang Zhen.
Shang Zhen tried Leng Xiaozhi's forehead with the back of his hand, and he felt it was hot.
"I'm freezing and have a cold. There's no medicine. I'll get you some ginger or something." Shang Zhen said.
Leng Xiaozhi pouted and fell silent.
Shang Zhen and the others were lucky. When it was dark, they finally came across a mountain village and were enthusiastically taken in by a family of villagers. They also found an old lady in the village who knew how to set bones.
After the old lady arrived, she rubbed Leng Xiaozhi's ankles.
It's amazing to say that after rubbing it, Leng Xiaozhi felt that the pain in his ankle was not very painful, and he could hardly walk without difficulty.
Unfortunately for Leng Xiaozhi, after a lot of trouble last night, she caught a cold due to the cold.
The room was a wing room. Although the room was a bit leaky, the kang was heated by the owner. For Leng Xiaozhi, who had been sleeping outdoors these days, this place was no different from paradise.
About half an hour later, Shang Zhen came back with a steaming coarse porcelain bowl in his hand.
"There's no ginger here, there's garlic and green onions. Drink boiling water. If you chew all the green onions and garlic, I'll get you a bed and cover it with a quilt so you can sleep and sweat all night long." Shang Zhen said.
"Where did you get fucked? I feel like this family is quite poor." Leng Xiaozhi asked.
"Don't worry about it, I have a solution." Shang Zhen replied.
So Leng Xiaozhi waited in the room lit by kerosene lamps. After a while, Shang Zhen really came back.
But what quilt was he holding?
In fact, it was a rag bag stuffed with hay.
But even though he was so cold and childish, he was still moved.
Nowadays, the common people in the countryside have the same conditions. How can a family have enough money if it only has one or two quilts? Some poor families even only have one quilt, and a family of five or six people all sleep on that quilt. You can't use other people's quilts!
And it is said that this is not the poorest, but the poorest is that the whole family only has one pair of pants, and whoever goes out wears it!
"I'm sorry, I lost the coat and the photo." Leng Xiaozhi said apologetically.
Shang Zhen glanced at Leng Xiaozhi under the kerosene lamp. The kerosene lamp added a blush to Leng Xiaozhi's handsome face.
For some reason, Shang Zhen felt a desire to protect him.
"I asked you to eat onions, garlic, and drink boiled water. Did you eat it?" Shang Zhen asked.
"No, I can't eat it. I lost your photo and it will bring you big trouble." Leng Xiaozhi was still apologizing.
"You are thinking too far ahead. Drink the water first." Shang Zhen sat on the edge of the kang and helped Leng Xiaozhi sit up. He reached for the rice bowl and fed Leng Xiaozhi water.
Leng Xiaozhi was not pretentious. She chewed a few cloves of garlic, ate half a green onion, drank the bowl of water, and then said to Shang Zhen: "Turn around, I have to take off my coat."
Shang Zhen turned around hurriedly when he heard this, and at this moment he felt his heart beating again.
By the time he turned around, Leng Xiaozhi had already slipped under the cloth bag filled with grass, but only his head was exposed.
"You should also take off your clothes." Leng Xiaozhi said.
Shang Zhen actually carried Leng Xiaozhi on his back along the way. Although Shang Zhen had good physical strength, he was still sweating profusely.
"Then why don't you turn around while I take off my clothes?" Shang Zhen asked.
"You are a man, and you are not naked inside." Leng Xiaozhi said disapprovingly.
Shang Zhen really started to take off his cotton jacket and trousers. His cotton trousers legs were still stiff because they were wet with sweat. They had not melted yet and were still frozen.
Shang Zhen didn't take taking off his coat in front of Leng Xiaozhi seriously.
He is a veteran, so he can't be so pretentious. Besides, as Wang Xiaozhi said, he is not naked inside. He has a shirt and underwear.
But when Shang Zhen took off his clothes, he subconsciously turned his head and saw Leng Xiaozhi's shining eyes under the kerosene lamp.
Shang Zhen finally felt a little embarrassed. He said "blow out the lamp and pull out the wax", blew out the kerosene lamp and jumped onto the kang.
Both he and Leng Xiaozhi had not slept all day and night, and he also needed to rest.
But as soon as Shang Zhen lay down on the bed, Leng Xiaozhi spoke: "When I first met you, you were as thin as a pony, but now you are much prettier than before."
"You've got a cold and you're not sleeping properly, so why are you still nagging?" Shang Zhen said to her.
"That person just wants to talk." Leng Xiaozhi replied.
"Oh, tell me then. I'll fall asleep in a while." Shang Zhen said, but got up again and pressed his cotton-padded clothes and trousers onto the straw bag covered by Leng Xiaozhi.
"Thank you, I was feeling cold." Leng Xiaozhi was moved by Shang Zhen's behavior.
"Everyone feels cold if they have a fever, so why are you still cold when you are lying on the hot bed now?" Shang Zhen asked again.
"There are two heavens of ice and fire. It's extremely hot below and extremely cold above!" Leng Xiaozhi replied.
Shang Zhen said "Oh" and lay down again, and then said: "I really want to go to bed this time. Just say whatever you want to say."
"Just talk to me for a while." Leng Xiaozhi said pitifully.
"You're such a loser. I've been carrying you for a whole day, aren't I tired?" Shang Zhen replied.
"Oh, I forgot, then I told you to listen." Leng Xiao then remembered that Shang Zhen had walked all day on his back.
Shang Zhen said "Oh" and stopped answering this time, while Leng Xiaozhi really continued talking on his own.
"You said you would go back to Gaha? I promised to be with you for three lives. If you are not with me in this life, then don't I still owe you three lives?"
"I wonder how Qian Chuan'er, Xiao Juan'er and the others are doing? Why did they suddenly lose faith?"
"Xiaojuan liked you from the beginning. He didn't tell me clearly, but I could tell. But how could she like Qian Chuan'er?
Every time she was with Qian Chuan'er, after she returned home she would say that she was deliberately angry with me when she was with you, which made me very angry! "
"Qian Chuan'er, Xiaojuan and the others should be fine. If something happened to them, they should have fired, but they didn't fire. Why are they nowhere to be seen?"
"You have no idea how much I like you.
It turns out that you saved my life, and I just felt that I owed you a life. But if I owed you more, I felt that I had to be yours for the rest of my life.
Even if I meet a man I like more, I will definitely marry you first. If I meet a man I like more, it will be my turn in the fourth life, because I gave it to you in the first three lives. "
"But after we met again this time, I felt that you were much more handsome than before, and your abilities were also improved. When I think of you, my heart will jump. Is this love?
You don’t even know how sad I felt when Xiaojuan lied about being with you! "
"When I'm at home, I make the decision on many things. When I'm with Xiaojuan, I make the decision on everything, but they don't know. In fact, I really hope that there is someone who can take care of me, so that I no longer have to hang my head every day. Use your brain to think wildly.”
Leng Xiaozhi just talked like this, talking about whatever came to mind, as if she was a nagging little old lady, or as if she had a severe fever and had started talking nonsense.
At this time, due to the fever, she felt that her forehead was getting hot, and he even lost consciousness.
I don't know how much time passed, but just when Leng Xiaozhi was about to fall asleep, a man's big hand reached under the straw bag and held her little hand.
That big hand was so warm and powerful that the nagging Leng Xiaozhi felt a sense of security. Finally, she said: "I've already stamped you, Ma Gan'er. You are mine, and you won't be allowed to do anything in the future." Find another woman.
You said you won’t marry me until I get married. If you dare to lie to me, see if I don’t kill you! "
After saying this, Leng Xiaozhi finally fell asleep.
The night outside the house was quiet. Perhaps in this cold winter night, there were still many people freezing and hungry outside for some reason, but Leng Xiaozhi could finally sleep on the hot earthen bed.
Perhaps this is the simplest happiness that everyone hopes for in the war-torn times.
