"Oh, oh, oh," the cock crows three times and the sky is dark. The Lin family at the east end of Daohua Village is already busy. Today is the first day of the summer harvest. The whole family has breakfast and goes out to the fields noisily.
Mrs. Lin (Mrs. Liu) and Mrs. Wang of the eldest house were cleaning up in the kitchen, preparing lunch and taking it to the field. Mrs. Wang put the porridge in the pot into a jar and filled the pot with tea. Mrs. Liu glanced outside the kitchen. To: "Boss, wife, you put these up, I'll go see Ke'er."
"Hey, Mom Ke'er is sick. Don't let the second brother and sister go to the fields today." Wang quickly cleaned up and responded with a smile.
Mrs. Liu nodded and walked towards the backyard, and met Mr. Huang who was running in a hurry.
Mrs. Huang and her mother-in-law bumped into each other. Mrs. Liu was tall and Mrs. Huang was short. Mrs. Liu helped Huang. Seeing that it was her mother-in-law, Mrs. Huang could no longer hold back her tears: "Mom, Ke'er really has rubella. , will this cause high fever?"
Ms. Liu's body trembled, she regained her composure and quickly walked a few steps into the house. When she saw Lin Ke'er's face was covered in a rash, like a boiled shrimp, and she was twitching non-stop, her heart suddenly rose to her throat: "Your father and the others just went there. It’s already in the fields, my second daughter-in-law, go and ask your seventh uncle to come over and give Ke’er a medical consultation.”
"Oh! Mom, I'll go right away." Huang responded in a panic and walked out of the door.
Mrs. Wang walked from the front yard and entered Lin Ke'er's house. She was also startled when she saw Lin Ke'er's appearance: "Mom, does Ke'er have rubella?"
"No, your second brother and sister went to invite your seventh uncle. Boss and daughter-in-law, you stay at home and watch first, and I go to the ground first. Hongxun will be here in a few days. If we don't finish the harvest, the whole family will not be able to survive this year."
Wang has a gentle personality and treats her children as her own. When she saw Lin Keer's appearance, she didn't hear clearly what her mother-in-law said. She fell into thoughts and thought of her little daughter. There was a daughter in their big house. , just a few years ago, my little girl got rubella when she was six years old, and it disappeared. Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang frowned worriedly: "Mom, is this girl okay?"
Ms. Liu also thought of her other granddaughter, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, glanced at Lin Ke'er again, and sighed: "Oh! This is all fate. Bao'er was too young to resist it at that time. But I'm fourteen, so I probably won't."
Just as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked out of the house with red eyes and sad faces, Lin Ke'er on the bed opened her eyes and looked at her back outside the house. The twitching in her body gradually calmed down, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye, saying silently: "Grandma, aunt. "
A head suddenly popped up at the corner outside the door of Lin's house. He looked around and then turned around and said, "Boss, those two girls went to the front yard. Do we want to go in?"
"Well, you keep watch for us outside, and you follow me in."
The man who was left outside laughed and said: "Brother, after you enjoy it, why don't you also enjoy it for your brothers?"
"Lu Erniu, that's your future sister-in-law, you dare to get involved." Liu Erniu kicked the little follower who was talking.
Lu Erniu endured the pain and did not dare to make too much noise. He shook his head violently and said: "Boss, I don't dare anymore." The old wooden door was pushed open, shook a few times, and layers of dust fell, followed by several lewd laughs. , Liu Erlaizi swarmed in with two followers.
Lin Ke'er vaguely felt someone approaching, and opened her blurry eyes. She only had time to see three figures walking towards her, and closed her eyes again.
Liu Erlaizi and three others walked towards the shabby bamboo bed in the house with lewd smiles on their faces. When they saw the person lying on the bed, the three of them were stunned.
Li Mazi stuttered: "Old, old, boss, this girl is covered in rashes and is so ugly. Have we been deceived by Li Sangsang?"
Liu Erlaizi scratched his head: "No, Lin Ke'er is a well-known village beauty in the village. I met her on the road a few days ago, but she was a bit shrewd. How could she be like this after not seeing her for a few days. "
"Brother, do we still want to..." Tian Ershu chuckled.
The second-rate scoundrel slapped her in the face, half scolding and half teasing: "You can hit me, you can hit me. You didn't notice the rash on her face and hands, maybe..."
Speaking of what the bad boy thought about, he swallowed and took a few steps back. Unexpectedly, Field Er Shu moved closer to see if there was any rash on Lin Keer's hands. The bad boy behind him yelled loudly.
"Back off, do you want to die? She, she, she may be infected with leprosy or the plague. Get out of here, quickly."
After hearing this, the two of them sat down on the ground in fright and stumbled out of the house. After running for an unknown amount of time, the second laizi stopped and gasped: "Remember, don't tell anyone what happened today. If Lin Ke'er gets involved, If we have an epidemic or leprosy, the village will know that we have entered that house, so we will definitely be harmed."
The three of them shook their heads and nodded again and again. Liu Erlaizi turned around and left with satisfaction. Behind him, Li Mazi rolled his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Er Laizi didn't know that as soon as they entered Lin's house, they were discovered by Niu Wazi, who was next door. Niu Wa was afraid of Liu Er Laizi and the others and ran all the way to the field. Breathing heavily, he shouted to the Lin family who were busy in the field: "Grandpa Lin, Grandma Lin, Uncle Lin, Second Uncle Lin, and the second son have brought people into your house."
When the Lin family heard this, they dropped what they were doing, took the pole and sickle and ran home.
The men of the Lin family ran fast, and a group of people rushed into the house in a swarm, looking for Liu Erlaizi everywhere, but they couldn't find him. When they saw that the house was safe and there was no sign of disturbance, they ran to the backyard again.
Ms. Liu stood up from the vegetable garden outside the courtyard and looked at the men in the family separately: "What happened to the boss and the second child?"
Lin Shucheng: "Nai, Niu Wa said that the second-rate scoundrel brought someone into our house. Where is the person?"
At this time, Lin Shuling's voice came from the backyard: "Dad, second uncle, third uncle, brothers, third sister's door is open."
The three Lin Bowen brothers felt their hearts skip a beat. Lin Boan ran to the backyard. Mrs. Liu was also worried, dropped the vegetables in her hands and ran to the backyard.
Regardless of any etiquette precautions, everyone swarmed into the house. When they saw Lin Keer safe and sound inside, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Mrs. Liu calmed down and thought that Lin Ke'er was suffering from rubella, so she hurriedly drove the children out: "You little ones, get out. Your sister has rubella and it's contagious. Get out."
"Mom, what did you say?" Lin Boan asked with trembling lips.
"The children should go out first. Kerr probably has rubella. Your wife has gone to invite your seventh uncle. He should be back soon. Will you know in a moment? The boss and the third will take the children out."
Lin Bowen and Bokang patted Lin Boan on the shoulder, sighed silently, led the children out of the house, and stood guard outside.
Lin Keer was struggling in the darkness at this time, and was suddenly taken away from the darkness by a drop of tear. She opened her eyes suddenly and felt that her whole body was extremely itchy, burning, and very uncomfortable.
The confused eyes met a pair of blood-red eyes, filled with worry and fear. She screamed in shock: "Dad." However, she only moved her lips but did not make a sound. She was temporarily unable to make a sound due to the swelling and pain in her throat due to high fever.
