In the early morning, the morning light was faint, and some light penetrated into the house through the cracks. Yu Ying stood up, casually tied her waist-length hair behind her waist with a cloth belt, and then left the house.
The weather was hot, but because it was early in the morning, the place was surrounded by mountains, and there was even a little mist floating around, so it was quite cold in the morning.
Yu Ying was wearing long clothes, but she didn't feel cold at all. But she didn't sleep much all night, her face was very pale, and her eyes were faintly green.
After Yu Ying yawned, she walked to the water tank and was about to scoop water to wash her face, but she found that the water in the water tank was almost bottoming out.
The entire village is made of thatched houses, so there is no well. The only place where water can be obtained is the river one mile away from Fu's house.
The elder Fu's eyesight is not good. Although the younger one is eight years old, his body looks like he is six years old at most. Even if he walks a mile, it is difficult to get water.
After Yu Ying hesitated for a moment, she only scooped out half a ladle of water and poured it into her palm little by little to rinse her mouth and face.
When I was washing, I heard the sound of bamboo poles tapping on the ground behind me. I knew it was Luo Shi who was also getting up.
The sky was only slightly bright and foggy, so Luo Shi still couldn't see anything.
Although you can't see it, you can still hear the sound of rushing water.
She frowned slightly and secretly thought that this Yu family has been here for half a month. During this half month, she almost slept until midnight. Why did she get up so early every day in the past few days?
After a moment of questioning, Luo Shi stopped caring. She groped over and put the clothes that her son and grandchildren had changed into yesterday into the broken wooden basin.
Holding the wooden plate in one hand and tapping the bamboo pole with the other, I walked out of the yard and went to the river to wash clothes.
It was still dark, and Luo's eyesight was not good. He went to the river to wash his clothes. If he was not careful, he would slip and fall into the water.
Yu Ying frowned and watched Luo Shi go out, feeling a little worried in her heart.
Anyway, she had to go out to find some herbs today, so she limped out and followed.
She did not follow Luo Shi closely, but walked behind her at a distance.
Luo Shi had poor eyesight and walked slowly, so Yu Ying stopped to check the weeds on the road.
Common herbs are not hard to find. In the Lingnan region, herbs can be found everywhere along the country roads. It's just that the common people don't recognize them and just regard them as ordinary weeds.
Every few steps you can see some common herbs. And Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can cure bruises, swelling and pain, clear away heat and detoxify, dispel wind and dehumidify and other diseases, can be seen everywhere.
The current conditions did not allow her to take care of her carefully, so she could only use the oldest and simplest method, mash the ghost needle grass, steam it and heat it, and apply it for a few days to see the effect.
She has been here for many days, and the redness and swelling on her ankles are no longer as severe as they were at the beginning, so she can see the effect even after applying it for two or three days.
She bent down and picked up a handful of ghost needle grass.
After folding it, I saw the prunella vulgaris on the side and remembered the coughing sound in the room next door yesterday. After thinking about it, I pulled some out.
The miasma in Lingnan is very serious, so she needs to eat more lung-clearing food, otherwise she will cough every night like the Fu family even if she stays there for a long time.
Boil Prunella Vulgaris and pig lungs together to clear the lungs and relieve cough.
In ancient times, pork was relatively cheap, so pig lungs would only be cheaper. If she could go to the market, she would go and ask.
But the premise is that the two silver leaves must be exchanged for silver first, and such a small amount of silver will definitely not be able to afford the expense, and you have to dig and figure it out.
Yu Ying calmed down her thoughts, continued to pull out many herbs, and almost followed Luo Shi to the river.
Someone got up and went out to work in the morning, and everyone looked surprised when they saw Yu Ying.
This village is called Lingshui Village, and most of the villagers settled here after being exiled. Even if some people are pardoned and can leave Lingnan, they can only take root here because they have no money.
It has been a month since Fu Wei arrived in Lingshui Village, and it has been half a month since Yu Ying married into Lingshui Village.
Regarding Erlang of the Fu family, the villagers in Lingshui Village only met him once on the day he arrived, but they met the bride of the Fu family several times.
This bride of the Fu family is a little ugly because of the many dark spots on her face, but she vaguely feels that if those dark spots can be removed, she will probably be a beautiful woman.
As for the Fu family’s bride’s temperament…
He even stole food and ran away a few days ago, so he was not an easy person to get along with at first glance.
Yu Ying didn't pay attention to the appraising eyes. After picking the herbs, she stood in the distance and stared at Luo Shi.
In any case, during the first two days after she arrived, she stayed in bed. Luo Shi did not ignore her or show his concern, and she could not stand by indifferently.
It was getting brighter, Luo Shi had finished washing the clothes, and Yu Ying went back ahead of her.
Back in the courtyard, she put down the herbs and went out to find two rounder and cleaner stones. When she came back, Luo Shi was also back.
Yu Ying used half a ladle of water to rinse the stones and herbs briefly, and then began to pound the medicine.
The sound of stones hitting each other was heard in the house. Fu An lifted the straw curtain on the window, rubbed his eyes and poked his head out. He saw Yu Ying making medicine, her face full of confusion.
Although he didn't know what she was doing, he still listened to his grandmother and ignored her.
Yu Ying vaguely felt that someone was staring at her. After mashing the herbs, she looked up at the larger thatched hut.
She glanced at Fu An, and when she was about to look away, she saw a figure behind Fu An.
Because it was dark in the room, she couldn't see the man's face clearly, and could only vaguely see his outline.
——The outline of an adult man.
There is no need to think about it, this grown man is the male protagonist Fu Dan.
Although she couldn't see clearly, she could feel that the male protagonist was also looking at her.
His eyes were probably very calm and silent.
After a while, Yu Ying still looked away.
Now she rashly said that she wanted to take a look at his leg injury. I'm afraid Luo Shi wouldn't even let her in. He would only think that she wanted to harm her son, so he would observe and observe first.
Her attention returned to the herbs.
It stands to reason that the herbal medicine needs to be steamed and heated before being applied to the affected area, so that it will be more effective. But after looking at the simple fire stand that didn't even have a pot, she could only settle for the next best thing and just use a cloth. Wrapped in herbs.
I went back to the house and put the herbs on my red and swollen ankles.
Without steamed and heated herbs, the effect will be much worse, but it is still better than doing nothing.
This medicine needs to be applied for about an hour and then changed again.
Because she didn't sleep all night, she fell asleep in a daze. When she woke up, it was an hour earlier.
After she changed the medicine once, it was almost noon. Yu Ying found a relatively long thick branch, broke off the extra thin branches and used it as a crutch.
She came out of the house and found that Luo Shi and the two children were not at home and did not know where they had gone. She took out the thin quilt and dirty clothes and walked slowly to the river to wash them.
I also met some people on the road, but because the villagers only cared about their immediate food and clothing, no one came up to say hello when they saw her.
These villagers have long been drained of their spirit by the impoverished life, and now they are nothing more than walking zombies with one breath left. Everyone's eyes were dull and their faces were numb and lifeless.
Yu Ying sighed secretly. She was afraid that she would become like them, so she could only find another way out and could not continue like this.
When she arrived at the river, she simply washed her clothes and then went back.
After returning to the courtyard, she pushed aside the clothes Luo Shi had hung to dry, making some room for her clothes and quilt to dry.
The golden sun is getting hotter day by day, and it is especially hot today. It is estimated that it will be dried by the evening.
Yu Ying also dried the herbs she picked this morning on the ground. She glanced at the dilapidated and messy yard and sighed.
Perhaps Luo's eyesight was bad and the child was small, so he couldn't take care of it properly.
The yard is overgrown with weeds, and the ground is covered with messy branches and leaves, as well as some wilted wild vegetables that have been picked but not cooked.
Yu Ying, who loves cleanliness, thought about it for a moment, then squatted down and dug out the weeds. She got up and took the broom from the corner and swept the fallen leaves in the yard to make a pile next to the fire shelf. Fortunately, Used for making fire at night.
It took her half an hour and she was so tired that she gave up, but she finally finished cleaning up the yard.
Just as he was about to go back to the thatched hut to rest, a man's low coughing sound suddenly came from another thatched hut.
Yu Ying paused and looked at the thatched house where the male protagonist was.
She looked around and saw no trace of her grandfather and grandson.
After thinking for a moment, she turned around and walked slowly to the door of the thatched house while holding on to the tree trunk.
After she took a breath, she asked through the straw curtain into the room: "Can I come in?"
After waiting for a while, there was no response from the room.
Yu Ying remembered that it was mentioned in the novel that in the first few months after the hero returned to Fu's house, he rarely spoke. He always sat alone on the couch in silence, without any life.
In such a situation, it would be very difficult for him to respond to her.
After hesitating for a while, Yu Ying still came in uninvited.
She opened the straw curtain and took the first step, smelling the pungent smell of herbs.
Because she had just been working in the sun, the room was dark, and her vision was a little blurry. Everything in the room, including people, had double images.
After getting used to it for a while, the furnishings in the room gradually became clear.
Compared to the house she lived in, this house was obviously better.
In the room, a straw mat was rolled up against the wall, which should be the mat used by the three of them to sleep on.
The other furniture is a small bamboo table, four long bamboo stools, and a bamboo bed that can sleep two people.
Without exception, these bamboo furniture have been around for several years and are dilapidated to varying degrees.
There was a man sitting on the only bamboo bed.
Yu Ying raised her eyes and met a pair of dark and cold eyes.
She was stunned for a moment.
Originally, she thought she saw the male protagonist who was in a state of embarrassment, decadent and depressed.
But the man sitting in front of her, leaning against the wall, with a cold temperament, clean and tidy, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, made her somewhat unexpected.
Even though his face was thin, pale, and sickly, and he was wearing coarse linen clothes, his original handsome appearance and tall and straight figure could not be concealed.
This male protagonist has the feeling of a sickly beauty.
He was sitting on the bamboo bed. His eyes, expression, and aura emanating from his body were all cold and cold.
There are some people whose temperament cannot be changed, no matter the harsh environment or unfortunate encounters.
Yu Ying felt that the male protagonist was one of them.
Yu Ying's eyes moved away from her handsome appearance and landed on her legs covered by thin quilts.
There was silence in the room for a moment.
She spoke dryly: "I was born in the Xinglin family and have some medical skills. I might be able to help you heal your leg. Can you help me?"
Fu Wei's face was cold, and the expression on his face did not change in any way because of her words. He looked away and closed his eyes without giving her any unnecessary reaction.
