A late meal, only the sound of drinking porridge.
The Fu family's ancestors and grandson had not eaten for a long time. Perhaps they had not tasted salty food for a long time, so they were in mixed moods and drank their porridge in silence.
Fu An seemed to be crying, but Yu Ying saw through it but didn't point it out.
Fu Wei was stunned for a moment when he tasted the first mouthful of red mushroom porridge.
There are no extra ingredients, only salt, but your mouth is filled with fresh mushrooms.
This was also the first passable meal I had eaten since I had been exiled for more than a month.
Everyone had different thoughts, and the meal was slowly finished in silence.
Not only was the red mushroom porridge finished, but a plate of wild bracken was also eaten cleanly.
As soon as they finished eating, Fu An, a young master at work, actively started to clean up the dishes. When he took the dishes and went out to wash them, Luo Shi was probably worried and followed him out gropingly.
Yu Ying moved the table to the wall, and when she saw the straw mat beside her, her expression became a little more complicated.
The current situation in this family is to sleep on a bamboo bed. She sleeps on a pile of straw, and the oldest and youngest sleep on the ground.
Yu Ying was silent for a moment, and then withdrew her gaze.
He turned to look at Fu Wei, told him "Don't get your legs wet," and then left the house.
Fu Wei glanced at her back and the little tail following her, and after two breaths he withdrew his calm gaze.
When Yu Ying left the house and was about to prepare medicine, she found that little girl Fu Ning had been following her, following her wherever she went.
Yu Ying turned to look at her, and she opened her big black and white eyes and looked at her confusedly.
It has been almost ten days since she came here, and Yu Ying has not heard a word said by this little girl.
Is it because you are born unable to speak, or is it something you develop later in life?
None of these were mentioned in detail in the article, so Yu Ying didn't know what the reason was. She could only wait until she became more familiar with it before asking Luo Shi in detail.
Fu Ning was still young and couldn't speak. Yu Ying was not as defensive about her as she was about others, so she smiled lightly at the little girl and let her follow her.
Yu Ying had picked up a lot of herbs in the past few days, and they were almost dried in the sun for a day or two. With the herbs she had, she prepared a few doses of Fuwei's medicine and a few of Luo's herbs.
When the body is in danger, it is also in the middle stage of deficiency and cold syndrome. Without food supplements, mild herbal medicines can only be used to slowly regulate the condition temporarily.
Luo's focuses on calming the liver and improving eyesight, clearing away heat and detoxifying, followed by the symptoms of persistent cough at night.
After preparing the herbs, I boiled Luo's decoction first, rolled the herbs into a bundle and stuffed them into the medicine jar. At the same time, boil an extra pot of hot water. After boiling, add a small handful of Prunella vulgaris and simmer for a while, then pick it up and let it cool. Drink it as herbal tea, which can sooth your throat and relieve coughs.
Yu Ying told Fu An: "Drink this water for the next few days. It can relieve your cough at night. From now on, you cannot drink the water brought from the river directly. Boil it and let it cool before drinking."
The more Fu An listened, the more troublesome he felt, and he muttered: "Is there anything I can't drink? This is how everyone drinks."
Yu Ying said calmly: "Boil it and drink it. It will only do good to your body but no harm."
Luo Shi was sitting in the courtyard, feeling the cool breeze blowing in the evening. She spoke to her grandson, "Just listen to your aunt from now on."
Yu Ying looked at Luo Shi.
That "little aunt" always made her feel a little uncomfortable.
She hadn't even been in love yet, but she had become someone else's nominal wife, someone else's daughter-in-law, someone else's aunt, which made her feel uncomfortable.
But now she stayed in the Fu family as Fu Wei's wife.
We are living separately now, so we are still getting along well, but what about after Fu Wei's foot is cured?
Peace and separation, or... try to be with him?
Thinking of this, Yu Ying looked at the thatched house and the figure in the house.
She might try to accept Fu Wei and live her life like this, but Fu Wei may not accept her.
If they cannot become husband and wife, then maybe they can propose to recognize their relatives and recognize them as brother and sister. It is not impossible...
Thinking of this, Yu Ying quickly stopped this kind of thing that didn't even have a shadow, shook her head, and shook this long-term thing out of her mind.
After coming back to her senses, Yu Ying continued to clean up the herbs drying in the yard, and then took the herbs back into the house.
Seeing that their ancestors and grandchildren were all standing in the courtyard, he ordered Fu An to go into Fu Wei's thatched house and bring out two bamboo stools.
As night falls, only a faint firelight illuminates the small courtyard. Because some grass to repel mosquitoes has been burned, the mosquitoes are not so rampant for the time being.
This was the first time Luo Shi enjoyed the cool air outside the yard after dark after his eldest son and daughter-in-law went to the mining field.
Listening to the chirping of insects and enjoying the cool breeze, the haze in my heart suddenly dissipated a lot.
Neither the grandfather nor the grandson entered the house. Fu An looked at the fire, and Fu Ning sat on the stone. After only glancing at the bright stars in the sky, he withdrew his gaze and looked back at Yu Ying, who was checking whether the medicine was ready.
It was completely dark before she boiled Luo's medicine. She wrapped a wet cloth around the handle of the medicine jar and slowly poured it into the medicine bowl.
The shirt used for replacement has been torn into pieces by Yu Ying and used in various places.
The weather is hot now. If she doesn't go out, she only wears a coat and a coat. If she goes to town, she will wear the only shirt.
After boiling Luo Shi's decoction, I washed the medicine jar and started to cook Fu Wei's medicine.
While waiting for Luo Shi's decoction to cool to 70%, Yu Ying took a piece of cloth, washed it with Prunella vulgaris tea that was still 60% hot, twisted it slightly, and while it was still hot, applied it to Luo Shi's eyes. On the eyelids.
Luo Shi raised his head and let her do as she pleased.
When the hot handkerchief was applied, there was some discomfort, but soon, the soothing feeling gradually spread and it was very comfortable.
Yu Ying: "From now on, apply it on your eyes every evening to help relieve eye fatigue. With the decoction, although the vision in both eyes cannot be cured, your vision will gradually become clearer and your vision will not be blurry during the day like now." It's almost invisible at night."
Hearing that he could still see, Luo Shi, who originally thought his eyes were destined to be blind, secretly tightened his palms.
Who would want to be blind if they could see?
"In the daytime, cover your eyes with a cloth to prevent the strong sunlight from hurting your eyes." As he said that, he looked at Fu An next to the stove and said, "From now on, you can tie a cloth strip on your grandma, and I will bring it to you during the day tomorrow." you."
Fu An, who had been paying attention to what she was saying, still looked unruly and responded perfunctorily: "Whatever you say will be whatever you say."
After spending many days together, Yu Ying also knew that Fu An was just a tough talker, but he still did not forget what he should do.
After applying it for about half a moment, Yu Ying took off the cold cloth and handed the much colder medicine to Luo Shi.
"After drinking the medicine, you can almost go to bed."
Luo Shi was very cooperative and didn't even say a word of rejection.
As a doctor, what I like most is this kind of cooperative patients.
It will be half an hour before the dangerous medicine is ready.
The prepared medicine was a little hot to the touch, and Fu An was not worried about carrying it in, so Yu Ying carried it into the house herself.
She entered the room in the dark, walked to the bed with a little moonlight, and saw the blurry figure sitting on the bed. Yu Ying said softly: "If you want to be cured, drink this medicine. If it doesn't cure, I will Then take it out and pour it out."
In the darkness, Fu Wei looked at the figure outside the bed. Fu Wei was silent for a moment and then spoke: "I do have the will to die, but up to now I have continued to live on because my identity has been swapped. A quote relayed to me by the man who once asked me to break my legs.”
Yu Ying was slightly stunned. She never thought that he would suddenly open up to her.
After thinking about it, she followed his words and asked: "What did you say?"
Fu Wei suddenly smiled. In the darkness, he smiled sadly and in a low voice: "If I commit suicide, the five members of the Fu family will be buried with me."
Yu Ying was startled and her face was shocked. After a while, she turned to look at the yard outside the window, then turned back and lowered her voice: "But that is also the person who has been his family for twenty years! How could he be so cruel? !”
"If you want to know the reason, go find my biological mother."
After that, he continued slowly: "If he can break my leg once, he will break it a second time. He will not let me turn over."
The saddest thing is that the man he called his father for twenty-one years ended up treating him coldly because he was held in the wrong arms, and condoned everything his parents and children did to him.
Yu Ying heard too much helplessness in his tone.
The fact that his father was framed and the Fu family was wronged had its own opportunities that he discovered. These opportunities were intertwined and must not be said through her mouth. If she did, things would change in the future and everything would no longer be the same. Controllable.
After a long silence, Yu Ying said: "It seems that you can't leave the Fu family, so you are alive. Since you are alive, then live as a healthy person. At worst, you can hide the matter from your legs first, and then wait until you think of a way to expose it." break."
Fu Wei stretched out his hand, accurately took the decoction in her hand in the darkness, and slowly said, "That's exactly what I meant."
Yu Ying didn't know why Fu Wei suddenly changed his mind, but it was a good start.
The corners of her mouth curved slightly, revealing a faint smile.
***
One night passed, and the first ray of sunlight in the morning penetrated into the narrow thatched house through the gap in the straw curtain. Yu Ying got up from the bed of straw.
She took out a wooden comb to comb her long hair smoothly, and then used a thorn hairpin to twist her long hair into a single bun. After arranging her clothes, she rolled up the straw curtain and let the warm morning sun shine into the house and disperse. Dim.
The small but clean thatched house suddenly became bright.
The firewood was neatly packed into the corner. On top of the firewood were half-dried herbs.
After Yu Ying finished everything, she went out of the house, opened the straw curtain, and saw little girl Fu Ning squatting outside the door looking at the door.
When Yu Ying saw her, she was stunned for a moment, helped her up, and asked in surprise: "Why did you get up so early today?"
Fu Ning said nothing, only gently pinched Yu Ying's sleeve.
Seeing her like this, Yu Ying didn't know what was wrong with her, so she could only let her go.
Luo Shi was sitting outside the house, and Fu An didn't know where he had gone.
Yu Ying washed up with a little tail. After washing, she turned to look at the little girl's unwashed face, and then fetched water and wiped her face. The little girl raised her face obediently and cooperated well. Incredible.
After wiping, the stains were finally washed away, and her skin turned yellow due to malnutrition. At the same time, a pair of black and white eyes appear very large due to her small face.
After Yu Ying washed her face, she looked at her messy long hair and turned it over, but found no fleas.
It's still clean, but my hair is really messy.
Yu Ying asked her: "Would you like me to braid your hair into a beautiful braid?"
Fu Ning hesitated for a moment, then nodded timidly.
Yu Ying took her into the house and slowly combed her long, soft hair with a comb, then braided her hair from the top of her head to the end. Then he tied the ends of her hair with the cloth ribbon that he had used to tie her hair before.
After it was tied, the little girl carefully touched the braid on her head with her little hands, her eyebrows suddenly curved, and she revealed an innocent smile.
Yu Ying said warmly: "Okay, let's go out and play."
The little girl walked towards the door in small steps, for fear that if she walked too fast, her pigtails would be untied.
After she went out of the house, Fu An also came back with water. Seeing his sister's new appearance, his eyes widened and he asked in surprise: "Sister, where is that messy chicken nest on your head?"
The little girl who had been teased by her brother for having hair that looked like a chicken coop reacted immediately. She puffed up her cheeks unhappily and ran to her grandmother angrily, as if she didn't want to talk to her brother anymore.
When Yu Ying came out of the house, she happened to see the little girl's angry look, and a smile appeared on her face.
Compared with the dull look of the past few days, the little girl's face seemed to have a touch of freshness.
