Xiao Ming went to the kitchen and brought out three bowls of water. Xiao Han would fill the water tank with water every day, but Xiao Ming secretly put some space water in while he was fetching water.
The water in the spatial spiritual spring has a light sweet fragrance, which is sweet and refreshing. The water their family originally drank was spring water brought down from the mountain by their eldest brother. Xiao Han and Xiao Yu didn't notice that the water they drank every day had been replaced by Xiao Ming. They just felt that it tasted better than before.
It's already past meal time, and it's too late to cook now, so I just make do with steamed buns and steamed buns.
The fluffy dog had a very sharp nose. He smelled the water as soon as Xiao Ming brought it out, and circled around Xiao Ming, whining non-stop.
Xiao Ming had no choice but to give it a bowl alone and put it on the ground. Maomao drank it quickly, as if she knew it was good stuff.
The three of them ate happily, especially Xiao Han, who made more than 1,500 taels in one fell swoop, not to mention how excited they were. He ate the steamed buns and steamed buns in a big way. He was not yet full of the steamed buns he had just eaten in the car.
The ancient steamed buns were full of ingredients and large in size. Xiao Yuren had a small belly. He felt full after eating one bun. He drank some water and touched his belly comfortably, "It's so delicious."
"Auntie, is Grandma Song sick? I heard her coughing very badly today." Xiao Yu said.
"I'll go take a look." Xiao Ming finished the buns in her hand, picked up three buns and three steamed buns and went out.
When you come out of Xiao's house, turn right, walk along several winding paths, and pass through a small bamboo forest before you can see her house.
Xiao Ming heard a voice as soon as he walked into the bamboo forest. He was very surprised. He looked along the voice and thought to himself, "Why are they here?"
"Sister, I'm so hungry." Liu Erdan sat on the ground and said to his sister who was digging tree roots. His voice was weak, his thin face was devoid of any color, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
"Wait a minute, there will be food soon." Liu Daya said, speeding up his hands.
"Sister, I really want to eat. Will I die?" Liu Erdan's voice was thin and weak. I only drank a bowl of porridge that was as light as water in the morning, and I was so hungry that I was sour.
"No, don't talk nonsense, father and mother will protect us." Liu Daya said, tears flowed down uncontrollably, thinking of her father and mother. Before her death, her mother asked her to take good care of her brother. No matter how difficult it is, Also live.
But since their mother's death, they have never had a full meal. They only get a bowl of light porridge for the endless work every day. It's a pity that her brother has never had a good meal since he was born.
It was fine in the past, and they often went out to dig some wild vegetables and take out some bird eggs to satisfy his hunger. But since Liu Baogen recovered from his illness, he stared at them and took away the food when he saw it, calling them a disaster star for making him sick. Sometimes she couldn't even eat at home, so she had to take her brother to the bamboo forest in Qiaodong to find some food.
She hates everyone in the Liu family. She killed her father, forced her mother to death, and now she wants to starve them to death.
Liu Daya's fingers were stained with blood. Regardless of the excruciating pain, he finally dug out a tree root, wiped the mud with his clothes and fed it into his brother's mouth. "Eat quickly, you won't be hungry anymore."
"Don't eat it." Xiao Ming ran over quickly, took the root out of Liu Erdan's mouth and threw it away.
"No." Liu Daya shouted, quickly picked it up and held it in his arms, looking at the visitor with an unkind expression. When she found out it was Xiao Ming, she exclaimed: "Aunt Xiao."
"You can't eat that, just eat the steamed buns." Xiao Ming handed over the bag in her hand.
Liu Erdan looked at the steamed bun that was handed to him, swallowed his saliva, glanced at his sister, but did not reach out to take it.
"It doesn't matter, just eat! Nothing is more important than living, right?" Xiao Ming looked at Liu Daya. Just as she thought, she was a stubborn girl with hatred and unwillingness in her eyes. Although she was about to starve to death, she still couldn't. Didn't reach for the bun to eat.
"Thank you, Aunt Xiao." Liu Daya finally accepted the bun and gave it to his brother.
Liu Erdan happily took the buns, endured hunger and divided the buns into two pieces for his sister, "Sister, eat the buns."
"Sister, you're not hungry, please eat quickly." Liu Daya said while holding back tears and pushed the bun back.
"There are more here." Xiao Ming handed another bun to Liu Daya, and the two siblings started to eat it hungrily.
"Eat slowly, there is not enough." Xiao Ming looked at the two siblings and remembered that when she first came, if she hadn't happened to pass through, there would have been no three Xiao family members in the world.
When the two siblings were full, Xiao Ming gave them the remaining steamed buns and steamed buns, "Save these for dinner."
This time Liu Daya was too embarrassed to ask for it again, "Thank you Aunt Xiao, we are full."
"Take it back and put it away. Eat it when you're hungry." Xiao Ming didn't allow her to refuse and stuffed it directly into her arms. "Don't dig up tree roots in the future. This is inedible. Look there." Xiao Ming pointed to a small sprout on the ground and said, "When you are hungry, dig this up and cook it or bake it. It's delicious."
"Aunt Xiao, that one is poisonous and will itch your hands." Everyone in this plant village knows that someone accidentally touched it before and it itched their hands. This thing is recognized as a poison in the village and no one dares to eat it.
"This is called yam. It can be eaten or used as medicine. You can wash it and cook it with the skin. It is not poisonous." Xiao Ming explained.
"Is it true?" Liu Daya looked at Xiao Ming with hopeful eyes. If this was true, she and her brother would not starve to death.
"Really, it's delicious." Xiao Ming said, a little surprised that no one dared to eat yams. This drug store sells it, but the village doesn’t even know about it. "Will your grandma still beat you?"
"If grandma doesn't beat us, she just doesn't give us food to eat." Liu Erdan lowered his head after saying that. He didn't know why grandma never liked him, nor did she like her sister. My cousin didn't do any work every day, and grandma gave him food every day. Eating boiled eggs, Liu Erdan felt like his mouth was watering just thinking about the eggs.
Liu Daya sobbed, "They give us a bowl of porridge every morning and ask us to go out to work during dinner."
Xiao Ming was angry and sympathetic at the same time, so she could only comfort Liu Daya, "No matter how bitter life is, you just need to regard it as a test of your growth. No matter how difficult it is, you must live bravely and never give up. As long as you Do it well to be worthy of your dead parents."
Whether it is Liu Daya or Xiao Ming himself, this is a psychological message to himself. Only by living a better life can he be worthy of his deceased relatives.
Liu Daya looked at Xiao Ming's leaving figure and silently said thank you, whether it was them giving him medicine when he was injured, or Xiao Yu secretly stuffing eggs to her by the river, and this time for saving his life.
Liu Daya clenched her fists and secretly swore that she would become a person like Xiao Ming, support her younger brother, work hard to survive, and repay Xiao Ming for saving her life.
