After Xia Yaozu sent Meili back, Uncle Xia asked him to guard Chu Yuzhu at home and not to go out no matter what noise he heard. At the same time, he told Chu Yuzhu not to answer no matter who called her again.
After the two children agreed, Uncle Xia went out without saying where he was going.
Chu Yuzhu has always been very timid, and with Chu Yuzhu accompanying her, she is not very scared.
The first half of the night was relatively quiet, but in the second half of the night, dogs from far and near in the village began to bark. A lot of people seemed to suddenly come outside Xia's house. It was so lively that there were sounds of gongs and drums, and a woman screamed.
He shouted from the yard to the house: "Chu Yuzhu, come out and get on the sedan chair, Chu Yuzhu!"
Chu Yuzhu was already in a daze and was about to fall asleep. She suddenly woke up when she heard the sound. She subconsciously opened her mouth to respond, but someone covered her mouth.
Xia Yaozu looked at her nervously and put his hand over her mouth, his fair and delicate face turning red from suppressing it.
Chu Yuzhu had come to her senses at this time, remembered Uncle Xia's instructions, blinked at Xia Yaozu, and laughed out loud at the nervous look on his face.
When Xia Yaozu saw Chu Yuzhu smiling, his nervous heart relaxed. He put his finger to his lips and made a "shush" gesture towards her.
Chu Yuzhu blinked her big watery eyes and nodded to Xia Yaozu.
The sound outside the door still didn't stop, and the high-pitched female voice was still shouting "Chu Yuzhu, come out and get on the sedan chair", but the two people in the room were inexplicably no longer nervous, and seemed to have ignored the sound outside the door.
"Are you afraid?" Xia Yaozu asked Chu Yuzhu.
"I'm not afraid as long as you are here!" Chu Yuzhu shook his head at Xia Yaozu.
Both of them stopped talking, but each of them quietly blushed.
At dawn, those sounds finally disappeared. Uncle Xia came back and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two children at home were fine.#@$&
He asked both children to have a good sleep, and said that the thing would come out to cause trouble at night.
Chu Yuzhu's body still didn't improve and she started to have a fever. She lay softly on the bed and couldn't get up. Uncle Xia cooked some vegetable noodles. Chu Yuzhu started retching before taking two bites. It wasn't that she was so pampered.
She couldn't eat these rough meals, but there was always a strong fishy smell in her nose, which made her completely lose her appetite.
Uncle Xia knew the reason and did not advise her to eat more. He just sighed with pity: "I have pity on this girl. I can wait until that thing is completely resolved."
Chu Yuzhu had a good sleep with peace of mind.
When she woke up again, she smelled a strange fragrance, like the smell of wild vegetables and a bit like mushrooms. The smell completely dissipated the fishy smell surging in her nose, and even made her
I feel vaguely hungry.%&(&
She sat up from the bed and walked into the kitchen following the aroma. She saw Xia Yaozu waving a spatula and stir-frying something on the yellow mud stove. The aroma came from the big iron pot on the stove.
of.
Uncle Xia was sitting at the mouth of the stove, smoking a pipe with a missing end, and looking at the fire in the stove from time to time.
Seeing Chu Yuzhu come in, Uncle Xia's eyebrows wrinkled and he said with a smile: "My daughter is awake, why don't you sleep more?"
"What delicious food did Brother Xia cook? I woke up because of the delicious smell." Chu Yuzhu replied with a smile, glancing into the iron pot.
Stir-fried in the pot was a kind of wild vegetable that Chu Yuzhu had never seen before. The shape looked very similar to coriander, but mixed with a few small light yellow flowers, which looked very much like chrysanthemums.
"Your brother Yaozu saw that you couldn't eat anything in the morning, so he went into the mountains to find some chrysanthemum brains in the afternoon. Just smell the fragrance and your body will get better much faster if you can eat something." Uncle Xia said while smoking his pipe.
Chu Yuzhu sniffed hard, smiled sweetly at Xia Yaozu and said: "It smells so good, thank you, Brother Yaozu!"
The spatula slipped in Xia Yaozu's hand, causing a muffled sound when he hit the iron pot. He picked up the spatula again in a panic, and his delicate face turned red again.
Uncle Xia looked up at his son, then at Chu Yuzhu, took a puff of cigarette and smiled silently.
He was very happy in his heart. When he was putting incense on Third Tai Nai, he casually asked her about her son's marriage. The incense burnt very well, and he also said that Chu Yuzhu was related to their family. It seemed that the two children were in trouble now.
The effect of chrysanthemum brain was indeed very good. That night, Chu Yuzhu ate a big bowl of rice with this plate of wild vegetables, and her spirits became much stronger.
That night, Uncle Xia once again told the two children to close the door at home and ignore whatever they heard, and then went out again.
Chu Yuzhu is also a book lover. She took the initiative to chat with Xia Yaozu about "The Picture of Dorian Gray". The two of them became happier and happier as they chatted. Then they talked about "The Godfather" and "The Thorn Birds", and finally "Dream of Red Mansions"
", when talking about the Jia family's eggplant dish with ten chickens, Chu Yuzhu suddenly said with a smile: "The melon seeds I eat are also made with eighteen techniques, so some people even swallow the shells.
, in the end I was so anxious that I choked!"
Xia Yaozu also burst out laughing. Although he knew that Chu Yuzhu was laughing at him, after two days of contact, he knew that this beautiful girl just had a cheerful personality and never had any bad intentions.
In the second half of the night, the commotion outside the door was louder than the night before. Not only did a woman scream for Chu Yuzhu to go out and get into the sedan chair, there were even sounds of banging on the door, and waves of strong fishy smell came from
It poured into the house through the cracks in the doors and windows.
But the two of them were chatting really happily, and they both turned a deaf ear to the movements outside the door, as if they couldn't hear them at all.
Neither of them even knew when the sound outside finally disappeared.
When Uncle Xia came back and asked them both to catch up on their sleep, Chu Yuzhu suddenly called out to Xia Yaozu and said, "Brother Yaozu, don't go into the mountains to pick chrysanthemum brains for me again today. You haven't slept well for two days and two nights."
Sleeping."
Xia Yaozu stood at the door and looked back at Chu Yuzhu and said, "I am willing to stay up for you."
After saying that, his face turned red again, and he didn't dare to look at Chu Yuzhu again. He turned around and went out into the mountain.
The third night was quiet. In the second half of the night, those things just started to make noise. Uncle Xia came back. Soon there was no movement outside the door. Uncle Xia opened the door and entered the house. His face was a little pale, but he smiled and followed the two
A child said that the problem was completely solved and everything would be fine in the future.
But as for what it was and how to solve it, he didn't tell Chu Yuzhu. Xia Yaozu might know it, but he didn't say much.
Chu Yuzhu returned to Meili's house the next day. She originally wanted to go back to Harbin but chose to stay.
Not long after, rumors spread in the village that Chu Yuzhu was attracted to the poor boy Xia Yaozu. Meili asked her niece what was going on, but Chu Yuzhu laughed and didn't answer.
