Straw mats were spread on the ground, and I could hear very clearly that someone came out of the west room and slowly walked over here.
Tang Shijin hurriedly turned over and sat up, looking out from the crack in the door.
Although I can’t see clearly, judging from the size, it’s not Zhu, but Rui Geer!
It seems that Mrs. Zhu must have stolen chicken soup for her son to drink. Rui Geer's movements are quite flexible! Are you planning to beat her?
Tang Shijin's mind was racing.
She suddenly hummed a song softly: "The young man didn't play with fire. He peed on the kang when he played with fire. The young couple didn't play with fire. The green bamboo forest was burned into charcoal..."
This is a local nursery rhyme, and every child in Zhulin Village can't sing it.
This nursery rhyme is also followed by a folk legend, which Zhulin Village has heard since childhood.
Legend has it that more than two hundred years ago, a young couple went up the mountain and accidentally burned the entire mountain forest. Then the young couple was stuck in the cave and could not get out. They were burned alive. The screams could be heard miles away.
Since then, there is still a stone monument with "flame head" on the mountain.
When she sings, one means that I haven't slept yet, and the other means... there will be two results.
If Ruige is stupid, he will think of folklore, cry in fear, and go back to find his mother.
If he is smart enough, or bad enough... then he will play into her hands!
As expected, Brother Rui heard it, and quickly squatted on the ground. Tang Shijin sang softly twice, and said at the same time: "Brother Lei, go to sleep..."
The next moment, Rui Geer stood up and walked to the kitchen.
When he was eight years old, he could stretch out his hands with clothes and open his mouth with food. He had never done any work in the kitchen. He groped his way in and touched the wall for fire sticks.
Huozhizi is actually a tightly rolled paper tube. First, light the paper tube with fire, then blow it out. Finally, cover it with a lid. When you want to use it, take it out and blow it gently, and the paper tube will regenerate.
Burn.
Although it sounds like it's not worth much, country people rarely use it and just leave fire under the stove.
So Rui Geer searched for a long time and found nothing. He could only follow his mother's example and put a branch under the stove. After poking for a long time, he finally found some sparks. He immediately took the sparks and poked them into the straw next to him.
After poking for a long time, the straw slowly started to burn.
Suddenly he stumbled under his feet.
Rui Ge'er was caught off guard and let out a cry. He fell out and threw himself directly on the straw pile.
And somehow he knocked over the soybean oil bowl, poured the soybean oil into the fire, and ignited with a bang. Rui Geer screamed and tried to get up, but he stepped on a stick again and slipped.
, the whole face fell into the fire.
In the darkness, Tang Shijin quickly turned around and returned to the woodshed next to him, hiding his merit and fame.
The next moment, Rui Geer started to cry sharply.
After a few sounds, Mrs. Zhu in the room was awakened and rushed out: "Brother Rui! Brother Rui, where are you!"
Even the neighbors nearby were woken up and lit their lights one after another.
The country people were all enthusiastic, and after a while, several people came over and asked outside, "What happened? Why is it wrong to hear the child crying?"
"But what are the symptoms? Do you want me to run over and call the village doctor?"
Tang Youde and Tang Shiheng also put on their clothes and came out of the house, lighting the lanterns. Brother Rui was carried out of the kitchen by Zhu, still wailing in a shrill voice.
The lantern shone on his face like this... Mrs. Zhu gasped at that moment, and someone outside also cried out: "Oh my god! Why did it get burned like this?"
Half of Rui Geer's face was covered in black ash, and he couldn't even tell what he looked like. One side of his bun was burnt away. He looked like a living ghost after being hit by a lantern.
Even Tang Shijin was shocked. He didn't expect the fever to be so severe!
Zhu said sharply: "Please call the doctor! Please call the doctor quickly!"
Someone had already rushed to ask the village doctor.
The village doctor arrived, and everyone worked with him for most of the night. It wasn't until about ten o'clock that the people who went to the town to buy burn medicine came back driving a bullock cart: "Here it comes! Doctor He, is this it?"
"
The village doctor took the porcelain jar and smelled it: "Yes, apply it quickly!"
He had washed Rui Geer's face before and shaved half of his hair. Now he lightly applied ointment.
Rui Geer had already fallen asleep from crying and was leaning on Zhu.
As the so-called year of the president, Tang Shirui is eight years old this year, and his hair is just two bags. Now one side is completely shaved, and the other side is also burned to pieces. It is pricked casually, and even the eyebrows on this side have been shaved.
His face was burned red and black, and it looked really scary.
Someone said: "I'm afraid it will leave scars if it's burned."
The village doctor said: "It looks serious, but in fact it only burns a layer of floating skin... Be sure not to get wet, eat hair products, and don't grab it with your hands. If you are lucky, it may not be too serious and it will not affect hair growth.
"
Everyone said: "That's okay!"
Someone said: "Old Tang family, what on earth is going on?"
"That's right, why is Rui Geer burning in the middle of the night? Could it be that the candle was poured out?"
Zhu's tears were almost dry. When she heard this, she turned around sharply and her voice cracked: "Tang Erya! You are such a black heart and a rotten tongue, you have no choice but to do it! I will follow you
Fight!"
She was about to rush out at first glance, but was hugged by the village aunt.
Tang Shijin woke up early this morning and felt that his whole body felt comfortable and there was no pain all over his body.
But she didn't change her clothes, her head and face were covered with dirt and blood, and she still looked very embarrassed.
She shook her head blankly: "I don't know!"
Mrs. Zhu was almost mad, she didn't care about her manners, and she gritted her teeth: "It's you! Stop messing around with me! You bastard who has a mother but not a mother! You are an unpopular bastard."
You little bastard! Why do you want to hurt my heart when you come after me?"
Tang Shijin's sister and brother hugged each other and shivered.
Everyone couldn't stand it any longer, and they said righteously: "Did I make a mistake? Er Ya'er looks like this, but she can't beat Brother Rui!"
Zhu said angrily: "She lives in the woodshed, who else could it be if she wasn't them?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their eyes became a little subtle.
Erya'er lives in the woodshed?
Even if there are too many children to live in, it's just like setting up a bamboo bed in the house... Actually living in a woodshed?
But Tang Youde was not here at the moment, and Mrs. Zhu only cared about her son, so how could she think of this.
Everyone felt that it was not the time to pursue this matter, so someone changed the topic and said: "Er Ya'er, did you see Brother Rui last night?"
Tang Shijin shook his head, his dazed expression was very pitiful, "My whole body hurt so much. Daddy brought me over, and Brother Lei and I fell asleep. Later, we heard Brother Rui crying, which scared us awake."
Zhu said angrily: "You still dare to pretend! You think I am a fool!"
Unexpectedly, the village doctor said: "I just checked Erya'er's pulse yesterday. She was seriously injured and her life may not be saved... It's okay to move slowly a few steps, but running and jumping is impossible."
The village doctor's surname is He. He is in his seventies. He has good medical skills and is a very kind and charitable person. He has a high prestige in the village.
As soon as he said this, everyone immediately believed him.
Mrs. Zhu was almost going crazy, but she was a woman with small feet, and several village women were holding her. She couldn't struggle to get away, and said angrily: "Why don't you know what is good and what is good? She is the one who harmed my brother Rui! You guys
Do you want to protect this bastard?"
Someone suddenly became unhappy: "Why are you talking? Who are you saying is ignorant of good and evil!"
"We've been helping all night, but it's our boss who hired the doctor!"
"That's right! You have to put the blame on Erya, don't you? It's easy to do it again and again this time, right?"
"The stepmother is the stepmother!"
Zhu choked violently and her expression changed drastically.
With what happened before, no matter what she says, people will have to weigh it in their hearts!
Another person said: "Isn't Brother Rui here? Just ask Brother Rui!"
