Seeing Tang Wanwan running out and coming back after cutting so many fresh willow sticks, Lu Yujin asked with some confusion: "Awan, what are you doing?"
"Take care of the wicker sticks. You don't know the wicker sticks, right?"
"Look at me, why have I forgotten? You are the eldest young master of the Lu family. You must not know these things." Tang Wanwan said to herself.
"You don't have to ridicule me. I'm just an ordinary young man. We grew up together. Don't you understand me? If you hadn't saved me, I would have died a long time ago."
Speaking of Tang Wanwan rescuing Lu Yujin, it was four or five years ago. Tang Wanwan had almost forgotten about it and didn't want it to be mentioned again by Lu Yujin today. That day was the first time Tang Wanwan and Lu Yujin met.
It was purely a coincidence. When Tang Wanwan came back from chopping firewood on the mountain, she happened to see Lu Yujin lying beside the bamboo forest. His face turned blue and he almost fainted, so she ran up to save him. After asking, she found out that he had been bitten by a snake.
Yes, it's the Bamboo Leaf Green Snake. This kind of snake is venomous. Although it won't kill people immediately, if it is delayed for a long time, it will leave sequelae.
It turned out that Lu Yujin thought that the bamboo forest was clean and the scenery was good, so he often read there to have some peace and quiet. However, he didn't expect that the weather was a bit sultry, so he invited the bamboo leaf green snake to him. He didn't know how he was bitten. After the bite,
The poisonous injury occurred and the person fell to the ground, unable to call for help.
What's more coincidental is that Tang Wanwan has been bitten by this snake since she was a child and has seen how her father dealt with snake venom. Speaking of which, she was not afraid at all and made a prompt decision to ask Lu Yujin to roll up his pants. While Lu Yujin was still hesitating, Tang Wanwan
She had already taken it upon herself to pull up his trousers, and used her mouth to suck out the poisonous blood from his wound.
It is estimated that this is the reason why Lu Yujin is so grateful to Tang Wanwan and will never forget her. Just imagine that even an adult may not be able to do it without caring about his own life, let alone a little girl. This is not over yet, help Lu Yujin's wound to be sucked out
The blood was red, so she found toad grass from the wild. Toad grass can clear away heat and detoxify. She chewed it up and applied it to his wound.
Tang Wanwan had just bandaged Lu Yujin's wound when his servants came for her. Lu Yujin didn't even have time to ask her name, so Tang Wanwan ran away. After returning, he invited a serious doctor, who listened.
After what happened, she even praised Tang Wanwan to her face for her timely treatment. She gave him medicine and Lu Yujin’s injury healed in two days. Because of this, Lu Yujin always wanted to find Tang Wanwan so that he could repay her for saving her life.
kindness.
The second time Lu Yujin met Tang Wanwan was when she was being bullied by Tang Ruyi and several other children. Without saying a word, Lu Yujin ran over with a stick and drove the person away. Then the two started talking.
Mrs. Zhang and the Wang family found out about Lu Yujin's help for Tang Wanwan. Mrs. Zhang then called Tang Wanwan a vixen and shameless, saying that she seduced men at a young age, and was then punished to kneel down and deprived of food for a whole day.
Tang Ruyue couldn't stand it anymore, so she secretly stuffed a sweet potato into her. The sweet potato was too dry, and Tang Wanwan ate it secretly, almost choking to death. Tang Wanwan was punished and refused to kneel down, and was ordered not to let her eat it.
Talking to Lu Yujin again, he said that it would ruin the reputation of the Tang family's daughters and affect their marriage. Tang Wanwan was afraid of being controlled by the people in the old house, and her mother was powerless. She couldn't do anything except cry. She was so small.
If he couldn't fight against their power, he could only stay away from Lu Yujin.
It can be said that there has been little contact between them in the past few years. This time when Tang Wanwan was beaten, Lu Yujin reported the matter for her and accepted his meat buns and other things. Their relationship has eased slightly in the past two days.
However, unexpectedly, Aunt Qing came to talk to Tang Wanwan again.
After Tang Wanwan heard Aunt Qing's intention, she promised her without saying a word that she would never interact with Lu Yujin again.
This kind of plot is more like the plot of the bloody CEO drama she watched at eight o'clock.
"Leave my son and I'll give you one hundred thousand yuan."
"As long as you leave my son, you must set the conditions yourself."
"Your identities don't match at all, so don't ask for help from my son. It's important for a person to know himself."
Tang Wanwan was silent and didn't say anything. What could she say? They were on two different paths. In Aunt Qing's words, being with Lu Yujin would only delay his bright future, so it was better not to say anything more.
.
"Let bygones be bygones. You bought me so many things today, which probably cost a lot of money. Just treat it as something you owe me, and I don't have to repay you the favor."
Lu Yujin suddenly became anxious when he saw that Tang Wanwan suddenly drew a clear line with him, and she didn't sound like she was joking. He couldn't help but look at the expression on her face and asked: "Awan, what's wrong with you? It's you.
Did you meet someone and what did they say to you?"
Tang Wanwan had met someone, but she couldn't tell him about it. If she said that he would definitely go back and have a conflict with his aunt, besides, she didn't say that she fell in love with Lu Yujin and couldn't live without him. The most she could do was to miss him.
Just a friend to talk to.
It's nothing if you lose it.
She then replied: "No, I'm still busy. You should go back quickly so that your family won't look for you." After saying that, she sorted the willow sticks one by one and cut them all into the same length with a knife.
After everything is sorted out, some processing is required. Finally, the bark is peeled off, twisted into a rope and tied to the bed. With soft stuff underneath, it can be made into a simple "Simmons" bed.
This is what Tang Wanwan came up with after racking her brains. Maybe this method can alleviate the pain of sleeping on a hard bed. Whether it can be done depends on the final product effect. The older and thicker the wicker, the better. Fortunately, it is autumn now.
, the willow trees are also old, and most of the willow leaves have fallen off, which is very suitable for peeling and making things.
Wicker can also be woven into many handicrafts of different shapes. It can be said that wicker is something that Tang Wanwan is very familiar with.
While sorting out the wickers, Tang Wanwan was thinking that it would be great if she could find palm trees. But this seemed impossible. Palm trees mostly grow in the subtropics. In colder mountainous forest areas like the Qilian Mountains, they might not be able to grow.
Knowing that it was unlikely, she first found some wicker sticks to deal with it temporarily.
"Awan!..."
"Brother Lu, go back and stop talking." After Tang Wanwan finished speaking, she turned her back to Lu Yujin.
Seeing her like this, Lu Yujin suddenly turned around and walked away angrily.
Madam Chen heard the conversation between the two very clearly in the room. When she saw Lu Yujin left, she walked out of the room and asked: "Wan'er, are you going too far with Mr. Lu like this?
After all, he has good intentions and brought you fish soup at such a late hour. From the looks of it, he probably didn’t bother with dinner and has been waiting for you to come back."
"Mom, I know in my heart, how can a family like ours compare with others? I know how much I weigh. Now that he has entered the academy, he will definitely take the imperial examination and pursue an official career in the future." Tang
Wanwan replied.
"Since you know it's impossible, why waste time now."
"You're such a sensible child. Speaking of which, our family is the one that has caused you trouble." After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, she helped her daughter arrange the wicker sticks and asked her what she was doing with this. "Mother, what am I doing?
bed."
"How come I haven't heard of using this to make a bed?" Mrs. Chen looked a little curious.
Tang Wanwan explained to Mrs. Chen: "Mom, I read this in a book. It said that wicker ropes were twisted into ropes and tied to the bed to form a bed net. When people lie on it, not only is it very
It's very comfortable and can bounce up. What is this bed called? "Simmons" bed." Tang Wanwan is now learning and selling. Anyway, no one here knows about Simmons beds. She might as well make one for her great bed.
Good reason.
Mrs. Chen couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "You are as clever as a little monkey, just like your father back then, you like to tinker with weird things all day long."
"That means I follow my father."
"By the way, Mom, does my dad know how to make a lot of things? He should be very good."
Mrs. Chen's expression suddenly changed and she said, "Don't ask so many questions that children shouldn't ask. It's getting dark soon, so let's hurry up."
What was Tang Wanwan's look like? Seeing Mrs. Chen's change of expression so quickly, she became even more confused. What secret did her mother have that she didn't tell her? What was she hiding in her heart? It's been so long since her father passed away.
I still refuse to say it, because I don’t want to recall the past, or I have some other secret.
"Well, with my mother helping me, my speed is indeed much faster." Tang Wanwan changed the topic to lighten the atmosphere.
The mother and daughter worked for a long time before sorting out the wicker sticks. Tang Wanwan put the wicker sticks on the pot and steamed them, urging Mrs. Chen to go to bed.
Mrs. Chen was still thinking about finishing work on the insole, so she went back to the house.
When it got dark, Tang Wanwan quietly called Tang Xiaoyi out. Tang Xiaoyi knew that he would do something big with his sister later. Although he didn't know what it was, he believed in her. He was so excited that his eyes opened.
He was so surprised that he lowered his voice and asked: "Sister, do we really want to teach them a lesson? Whatever you tell me to do, I promise not to let them find out."
"Well, we must be careful not to be discovered by them. We will never be soft on bad people. We will retaliate with tooth for tooth and eye for eye, so that we will not be bullied."
"I will definitely remember what the eldest sister said." Tang Xiaoyi nodded vigorously and said.
"Wait outside." After Tang Wanwan ordered her brother, she went to the nearby hut and quietly took out the hive with the bees standing there. Her clothes were still tightly covered and she did not dare to take them off.
"Walk!"
...
After a while, the siblings completed their arrangements and quietly squatted in a corner outside the courtyard wall, where they could have a commanding view and wait for news from inside the house.
"Sister, can this be done?" It was the first time that Tang Xiaoyi and his sister had done such a thing together, and he was both nervous and a little excited. His sister told him that he only needed to secretly apply the honey jelly on grandma's door, window sill, and pillars.
Come on, as long as they come out of the house, there will be a good show soon.
