Seeing Shi Tingyu, Sister-in-law Zhang pulled her over and took a closer look, "Sister, what's wrong? Brother Zhang and I were very worried when we heard something going on here."
Shi Tingyu was very grateful to Sister-in-law Zhang and his wife for coming over in the middle of the night. Talking about what happened, she felt a little embarrassed at this time, "There were bats in the house in the middle of the night... I, I was a little scared."
She was almost frightened to death because she was being polite.
Sister-in-law Zhang seemed a little embarrassed when she saw her, and said considerately: "There are bats in this summer, let alone a little girl like you. I'm still afraid of them. Those things look infiltrative. "
Battalion Commander Zhang watched silently as his wife opened her eyes and told lies.
She would hit this bat every time she saw it. She would chase it around the room with a shovel and take pictures of it.
The same goes for rats. He once saw his daughter-in-law crush a big rat to death with her quick eyes and quick hands.
She was afraid that the mice would not die, so she would crush them with her feet.
I couldn't even look at the soles of the shoes afterwards.
Battalion Commander Zhang didn't think there was anything wrong with Shi Tingyu being afraid of bats. Women were generally timid, and his wife was an exception.
Grown men like them are not afraid, but they just feel disgusted when they see that thing.
Seeing that Shi Tingyu was fine, Battalion Commander Zhang said: "Brother and sister, since you are fine and Xiao Lu is back, we will go back first."
After Shi Tingyu heard this, he thanked him again.
Sister-in-law Zhang waved her hand and said: "Hey, we are neighbors, this matter is nothing. If you have anything in the future, just come to me, I'm not afraid of this thing."
Battalion Commander Zhang couldn't help but hold his forehead. He secretly complained in his heart, "Daughter-in-law, you spilled the beans. Just now you said you were afraid too."
Shi Tingyu obviously heard it too, but she didn't feel embarrassed, instead she was just grateful.
He was obviously not afraid, but he just told a white lie for her feelings.
After the two left, Shi Tingyu saw the bag Lu Weiguo had thrown at the door. She carried the bag in with some difficulty and bolted the door again.
Lijian also came over at this time. Seeing Shi Tingyu struggling, he opened his mouth to help.
Shi Tingyu quickly stopped him, "Li Jian, dear, you still have a wound on your mouth. I can lift this."
Lijian looked at it, and finally put his shoulder on the package, and one person and one dog staggered to carry the package into the main room.
Shi Tingyu let out a breath, which was even more tiring than carrying her own bag.
At this time Lu Weiguo came out of the room.
When he saw Shi Tingyu had brought his bag back, he remembered Camp Zhang and his wife who were locked out.
He asked: "You went to open the door for Sister-in-law Zhang and the others?"
Shi Tingyu said, "Well, I'm troubling them this time. Sister-in-law Zhang and the others have gone back just now."
Lu Weiguo nodded and said nothing more. He looked at Shi Tingyu's face that finally recovered somewhat, with guilt in his eyes.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm sorry, are you scared tonight?"
Shi Tingyu shook her head, "I'm fine now."
Lu Weiguo said: "The bats have been driven out. Would you like to go back to your room and sleep first, or wait for me to clean up and sleep together."
He didn't have any special meaning when he said this, but he felt that his wife might be a little scared to go back to the house alone at this time.
Sure enough, Shi Tingyu said, "I'll wait for you."
Lu Weiguo smiled and stretched out his hand to check the condition of the sword.
Only then did Shi Tingyu realize that there was blood on his hands.
She reached out and took his hand, and under the light, Lu Weiguo's thorn-pierced hand appeared in front of her eyes.
"How did you do this?" Shi Tingyu asked anxiously.
Suddenly she seemed to have thought of something and asked, "How did you get in? I remember the courtyard door was bolted."
Lu Weiguo withdrew his hand, looked at it in front of his eyes, and smiled, "It's okay, just prick a few thorns and pull them out. My hands are calloused, so it doesn't hurt at all."
"So you climbed over the wall and came in?" Shi Tingyu finally remembered the flowers Lu Weiguo planted for her around the yard.
For a moment, Shi Tingyu blamed herself, "It's my fault."
Lu Weiguo looked at her, not knowing how to comfort her. He could only stretch out his hand to divert her attention, "Daughter-in-law, be careful and help me pick out the thorns."
Shi Tingyu didn't care about anything else. She took his hand over and pulled out the more exposed thorns with her hands. She carefully picked out the deeper ones with a needle.
Seeing that the deep prick was still bleeding after the thorn was pulled out, Shi Tingyu quickly went to get the purple potion from home and applied it on him.
Lu Weiguo teased her, "You put it on, how can I wash up right now?"
"I..." Shi Tingyu almost blurted out, "I'll help you," but managed to stop the car.
Seeing her at a loss, Lu Weiguo chuckled and said, "I lied to you, we all washed up in the camp after returning from the mission."
When they came back, they first went to the camp to hand in their tasks, and then took a shower before going home.
Otherwise, the blood on your body will frighten the family. This is also an unwritten rule here, unless there is no blood in the mission.
Only then did Shi Tingyu react, and she wasn't angry. She just turned around and summoned the sword. She asked Lu Weiguo: "Can this purple potion be used on the mouth of the sword?"
Lu Weiguo said: "It should work. When soldiers had injuries on their mouths, they applied it directly."
Shi Tingyu felt relieved now. She asked Lu Weiguo to help fix the sword's head, and she painted it with purple potion.
Li Jian was good enough. It didn't struggle and let Shi Tingyu apply the medicine to it.
"The sword is really good." Lu Weiguo caught the sword and praised it, "This little guy is worried about you."
Shi Tingyu looked at Lijian with a little softness in his eyes.
"When your mouth heals, I'll give you meat to eat."
Lijian wagged his tail happily.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Weiguo said, "Daughter-in-law, let's go to bed quickly. It's already past three o'clock. If we don't sleep, it will be dawn."
At this time, Shi Tingyu felt exhausted.
The two returned to the room.
When Shi Tingyu entered the room, the image of bats flying around came to mind again, but this time because Lu Weiguo was by her side, she didn't feel scared anymore.
Lying on the bed, Shi Tingyu wanted to turn off the lamp, but Lu Weiguo said, "Let's keep it for tonight."
When the lights are turned off and the room becomes dark, it is easy for people to think of scary things.
Shi Tingyu agreed obediently, but in fact she really didn't want to close it.
However, she asked Lu Weiguo curiously: "How did you get rid of the bats?"
Worried that his wife would encounter this kind of situation next time, Lu Weiguo explained to her carefully, "Bats are active at night and are afraid of light. If you encounter it next time, you can turn on the light and open the window. The window will be dark. , it will fly to a dark place, and when it flies out, just close the window."
Shi Tingyu listened to his words. Now, unlike in later generations, bats may enter the home more often. She has to work hard to learn how to drive them away.
It's not such a coincidence that Lu Weiguo comes back every time.
Seeing that she had listened, Lu Weiguo held her in his arms and helped her smooth her hair, "Go to sleep."
Shi Tingyu closed her eyes, and the tension and exhaustion of the night swept through her body instantly.
Lu Weiguo's embrace was very warm, and she fell asleep in his arms soon.
Lu Weiguo used the light of the desk lamp to look at the ends of her eyes which were still a little red, feeling uneasy in his heart.
Thinking about what he saw when he kicked the door open, he couldn't help but feel a throbbing pain in his heart.
He blames himself and feels guilty.
He couldn't be by her side when she was scared, but he had no choice.
I can only be nicer to her...
