The cold air poured into the clothes, as if it was freezing the blood.
Su Li's face turned pale, but her expression was very calm. She hunkered down and sped up, and ran into the bamboo forest in the mountains with familiarity. Following her past life experience, she dug out two winter bamboo shoots in a short while, and held them in her arms. Then I ran to the clam shell pile by the river and picked up a complete big clam shell.
The river water was biting and cold. Su Li squatted by the river and slowly washed winter bamboo shoots and clam shells. The river water reflected her sallow little face, with only a pair of dark eyes that could be called beautiful.
Since she could remember, she had hardly had a good meal or dish. Although she was fourteen years old, she was still as thin as a ten-year-old child.
Touching her cheek without scars, Su Li showed a touching smile. Holding all the washed things in his arms, he went into the mountain again. It took about an hour before he came down from the mountain and returned to the house.
Putting the clam shell filled with water steadily on the charcoal brazier, Su Li wrapped herself in a quilt and went to the corner to pick up a few pieces of charcoal and threw them into the charcoal brazier. It didn't take long for the water in the clam shell to boil.
Seeing the steaming hot water rolling continuously, Su Li no longer hesitated and threw some of the winter bamboo shoots in, while continuing to peel the winter bamboo shoots in her hands.
Slowly, the aroma of bamboo shoots filled the house. Su Li couldn't help but swallow, and her stomach seemed to grow louder.
Picking up some seven-year-old bamboo shoots from the branches nearby, Su Li didn't care about burning them, and directly sucked them into her mouth, chewing them two or three times before swallowing them.
"So tender!"
Su Li's eyes immediately lit up, and she stared at the bamboo shoots tumbling in the water. In fact, they had no taste at all, but to her, even bitter wild vegetables can taste sweet, let alone the ones with a better taste. Winter bamboo shoots.
Su Li moved very quickly. She picked up the winter bamboo shoots and ate them as soon as they were boiled.
After eating two winter bamboo shoots in less than half an hour, Su Li felt eighty percent full. She suddenly gained some strength in her body and no longer felt limp.
After carefully handling the clam shells, she took out a few herbs picked from the mountain from her arms and fell into deep thought.
These herbs are all tonics used to improve her body, but she also knows that if she is weak or not, she will probably have a fever for several days even though she can control the dosage.
Huhu...
Not long after thinking, Su Li felt a burning sensation in her throat, which was a precursor to a fever. The cold wind for two hours was not in vain, not to mention that her body was still so weak.
Putting a handful of herbs into her mouth and chewing it, Su Li wrapped herself in a quilt and lay down again. The tonic took effect, and she fell asleep soon after.
I do not know how long it has been-
"Second Miss, Second Miss..."
Anxious and depressing voices rang in her ears. Su Li reluctantly opened her eyes. She felt like her body was in a furnace, and even her brain felt like it was going to be burned.
Her vision blurred for a moment and finally became clear. She looked up at the old woman who was holding her in her arms. Who was it if it wasn't Nanny Li
"My miserable second lady..."
Nanny Li put her rough hand on Su Li's forehead, her eyes already blurred with tears. She knew very well what the sudden fever meant.
"Mommy, nanny?"
A weak voice sounded, and Nanny Li was startled, and then she said with a mixture of surprise and surprise: "Second Miss, are you awake?!"
Hearing Su Li's unique name for her, Grandma Li's heart ached, but the look on her face became gentler. She lowered her head and touched Su Li's face, and whispered: "Second Miss, it's me, the wet nurse!" "
Su Li frowned in pain and said pitifully: "Nanny, I want to see my eldest brother. I didn't steal the Night Pearl. I want to see my eldest brother..."
After holding on to say this, Su Li tilted her head and fell asleep again. It wasn't that she was pretending, but the medicine was too powerful. Even with her tempered will, she couldn't resist it.
Seeing that Su Li fell asleep again, Grandma Li panicked and shouted several times, but she didn't see Su Li wake up. Her heart trembled and she let go of her hand slightly.
After being stunned for a moment, Grandma Li's eyes became firm. She gently stroked Su Li's hot forehead and whispered: "Second Miss, the nanny will go find your big brother right now!"
Before she had time to pack anything, Grandma Li turned around and ran towards the Su family mansion.
…
It was getting late, Su Qingtan put down the long sword in his hand, took a long breath, and was about to go back to his room to study, when there was a noise outside the courtyard.
"This slave really has something important to report to the young master. Just say a word and leave..."
"How presumptuous! The eldest master's yard is not a place where a low-class nun like you can come."
The guard's stern reprimand made Su Qingtan frown slightly. He couldn't stand the domineering guard his mother arranged for him, but it was his mother's fate to obey, so he could only turn a blind eye.
He called the maid and said, "Let that nanny come in."
The maid suddenly looked embarrassed and said, "Master, Madam wants you to concentrate on your studies. You must not..."
"Am I the young master, or are you the young master?" Su Qingtan said coldly, "How much time can be delayed with just one sentence, let her come in!"
Seeing that the young master was angry, the maid did not dare to disobey, so she quickly got up and went outside the courtyard to let Nanny Li in.
After receiving permission, Grandma Li immediately showed surprise on her face full of despair, and stepped into the courtyard without saying a word.
"It turns out to be Grandma Li. Why are you looking for me?"
Su Qingtan saw the excited Nanny Li and asked in confusion. Nanny Li was the nanny of her second sister when she was a child, so he was familiar with her.
When Grandma Li saw Su Qingtan's dull expression, her heart suddenly thumped and her face turned slightly pale. It seemed that the eldest young master didn't care about the second young lady as much as she thought.
But now that the matter has come to this, she has no other choice but to kneel down with a plop and cry:
"Young Master, no matter how serious the mistake made by the Second Young Lady is, I still ask the Young Master to move over and see the Second Young Lady for the last time! This is the Second Young Lady's last wish before she dies!"
