Xu Ziyue watched the puppet weigh the medicines he grabbed from the cabinet one by one, and put them on a piece of paper. Those medicines were piled together, and gradually increased, until all the weighing was completed, the little doll breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his chin to Xu Ziyue, and said succinctly: "Cook."
Xu Ziyue restrained his heart that was so cute that it was about to burst, nodded, and carefully wrapped the medicine with paper.
This is the result of the little puppet's busy work for a long time, so I can't throw it away.
As for cooking... Xu Ziyue put away the medicine bag, picked up the puppet again, and found the kitchen.
The kitchen is clean, there is no smoke, and there are no seasonings that are used in cooking, such as oil and salt, and there is no shadow.
Xu Ziyue asked himself not to think about where the food he wanted to eat came from. Some things don't go into depth, but you can still live well...
The kitchen is very old-fashioned, with a large pot and an earthen stove, and the side of the stove is filled with half-walled, arm-sized wood firewood.
Xu Ziyue wiped clean the small stool by the stove, then put the doll on it, "Sit here, don't move and fall down." After saying that, Xu Ziyue carried the bucket to pick up a bucket of water, Came back in no time.
He rinsed the cauldron with the water in the bucket, but couldn't find anything like steel wool, so he just pulled a piece of cloth and washed it in the water.
Wait until the dirty water is scooped out, and then pour clean water in.
"Boil the medicine... just pour the medicine into it?" Xu Ziyue hesitated. All he had ever seen was boiled in a small medicine pot, but there was none here. If this big pot is boiled, I'm afraid there will be more than one jar of medicine...
The puppet sat in the same place, but didn't really move. Hearing Xu Ziyue's hungry words, he paused before nodding.
After all, the conditions are limited, and it is impossible to ask for anything more.
Following closely, Xu Ziyue found that he couldn't make a fire...
Without a lighter, is he going to try drilling wood to make fire
Xu Zi thought for a while, then looked towards the upstairs room. He seemed to remember that Lu Xiuyang had a lighter, and he took it out and played with it before.
Xu Ziyue told the puppet to get the lighter by himself, turned around and hurried upstairs to find Lu Xiuyang to borrow the lighter.
None of them could guess Lu Xiuyang's thoughts. Xu Ziyue asked him to borrow something, and he simply agreed, but he also asked casually, "What do you want a lighter for?"
"I asked Jin'er for some medicine for a cold, but she asked me to cook it myself. There is no lighter on the kitchen stove." Xu Ziyue put the matter on Jin'er, and Lu Xiuyang and the others would not go to Jin'er for verification. .
Lu Xiuyang listened, twitched the corners of his mouth, nodded to show that he understood, and gave the lighter to Xu Ziyue. At that time, Xu Ziyue's actions all thought they were cheating their teammates, but looking at it now, it may be that they were wrong.
But... If you are full of malice, who knows if the medicine Jin'er gave is good.
Xu Ziyue turned his head and left, went downstairs three or two times, and cooked the medicine smoothly. It was a pot too big, and the ingredients of the medicine were too diluted. Although the smell was unbearably bitter, it tasted less bitter than what Xu Ziyue had drunk before.
He grumbled and poured a bowl down his stomach. The bitter taste made his facial features wrinkle, but he still turned his head and smiled at the doll, "Look, I drank it."
The little doll raised his hand and compared three...
"...Three bowls?"
The puppet nodded affirmatively.
Xu Ziyue then poured two more bowls.
After filling the medicine, Xu Ziyue heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that it was still a big pot of medicine, he picked up the little doll, "What should I do with this..."
"fall."
"What a pity it's poured..." Xu Ziyue found the lid to cover the big pot, pinched the little doll's fingers, "Go back to the room."
Although he didn't want to stay with Guan Chengze, he couldn't stop going back to sleep because of him.
The little doll buried his face in Xu Ziyue's arms and silently clenched the latter's clothes.
sleep…
Xu Ziyue walked to the door, lowered his head and told the puppet again: "There are other people, remember not to move or talk." He didn't say it before, and he made a lot of trouble. I just hope that after saying it. , the puppet can restrain a little.
The doll's buried head nodded slightly, and it seemed that he heard it.
In the room, Guan Chengze was leaning on his side, and the side facing the wall seemed to have fallen asleep. Xu Ziyue lightened his pace and walked in.
The two beds in the room were separated, Guan Chengze chose the one by the door and left the one by the window to Xu Ziyue.
Because he didn't know if Guan Chengze was really asleep or if he was fake, Xu Ziyue didn't talk to the puppet, he just sat him on the bed and gestured to himself that he was going to wash up.
And the little doll was really obedient, sitting there straight, motionless, and didn't say anything to Xu Ziyue's words.
This look can only deceive other people, but Xu Ziyue knows this little guy. He didn't move no matter how he was teased before, but he can run from one position to another when he turns his head.
Xu Ziyue finally glanced at Guan Chengze who was lying on the other bed, said nothing, and went into the bathroom with a change of clothes.
Soon, the sound of water was heard in the bathroom.
＊＊＊＊＊
On the other side, Lu Xiuyang and Yan Shi's room.
Yan Shi sat alone on the bed, feeling a little irritable in his heart. The corpse I saw at the cemetery today, and the current situation of Lu Xiuyang... He has survived, and he knows that people will not give up their hope of life unless they reach the last moment. Of course, some people are exceptions, but there is no Lu Xiuyang in this exception.
The sound of Lu Xiuyang washing in the bathroom reached Yan Shi's ears, Yan Shi touched his face, got up and picked up his bag, and walked out of the room in a low voice.
Of course, life is more important than face.
No one knew what Lu Xiuyang was going to do. If he wanted to drag others into the water, the one who slept in the same room as him would probably suffer first.
So when Lu Xiuyang came out of the bathroom and saw the empty room and the other bed that had been cleaned, what else was unclear
Lu Xiuyang sneered, and he couldn't hold back his sympathy. I saw that there was a piece of his abdomen that was incompatible with the rest of the body. That piece had a faint luster. It was harder than meat, but a little softer than wood. The texture was very good both to the touch and to look. .
But that doesn't seem like something that exists in a human being.
After Xu Ziyue took a shower and changed his clothes, he heard a knock on the door as soon as he left the bathroom. He looked into the cat's eyes and found that it was Yan Shi.
"Xu Ziyue? Open the door."
Xu Ziyue hesitated for a moment, but went forward and opened the door.
Yan Shi rushed into the room with the backpack he had when he came to this village.
"What's going on here?"
"It's nothing. I'm still not very worried about Lu Xiuyang, so I came over to sleep."
Xu Ziyue sighed in his heart, and then asked, "Then what did he say?" Turning his head to look again, he found that Guan Chengze woke up at some point, sitting on the bed, half-yawning looking at Yan Shi.
Yan Shi glanced at Guan Chengze, then walked slowly to the other bed, "No." Instead, he concealed the fact that he came out without telling Lu Xiuyang at all. Originally, there was no need to talk about it. When Lu Xiuyang saw that there was no one in the room, he would naturally know what was going on. As for what other people will think? He doesn't care.
What's more, Lu Xiuyang wouldn't necessarily take the initiative to say this.
Xu Ziyue ran over quickly and hugged the little doll, "Well, Yan Shi, do you want to sleep with Guan Chengze? I sleep with the doll, I'm afraid something will happen if it is crushed."
Yan Shi was stunned, "You sleep with it?" His eyes moved to the small coffin on the bedside table, "Would it be better to put it in there?"
Xu Ziyue just shook his head and said nothing else.
Yan Shi gave an irritable "tsk", turned around and sat down beside the bed Guan Chengze was lying on.
Guan Chengze grinned, but said nothing.
Xu Ziyue brought out the basin of water, and then slowly wiped the body of the little doll.
There was too much smoke from the fire in the kitchen, and there was soot. If there were other clothes, Xu Ziyue would like to change the clothes for the little doll.
But it didn't... So Xu Ziyue just wiped it, and then put his clothes back on.
Looking at Xu Ziyue's actions, Yan Shi slowly frowned. But he didn't say much, just packed up his things and went to wash up.
By the time he got everything done and left the bathroom, Guan Chengze had already fallen asleep, but he reserved a normal bed for Yan Shi. And Xu Ziyue was hugging the doll and huddled under the quilt.
It looked like he was asleep too.
The lights in the room were turned off, there was no last light in the crack of the door, and when the last sound died, everyone fell asleep.
＊＊＊＊＊
After being woken up by the puppet, Xu Ziyue rubbed his eyes, still closed his eyes and groped for the puppet, and hugged him in his arms, "Well... sleep a little longer..."
"Xu Ziyue, wake up."
Xu Ziyue struggled to open his eyes and looked at Guan Chengze standing by his window.
His vision was a little blurry, but Xu Ziyue still saw that stare at his side.
Xu Ziyue's drowsiness became clear for the most part.
He sat up and went to stare at Guan Chengze again, the latter's gaze had already been put away.
"I think Jin'er will come to us in a while, hurry up, I'll go next door to see." Guan Chengze finally glanced at Xu Ziyue, then turned and left the room.
There was the sound of running water from the faucet in the bathroom, and Yan adapt should be inside.
What was Guan Chengze planning to do just now? Or just look at it
Xu Ziyue looked down at the puppet.
The little puppet was clutching his clothes tightly with both hands, and his whole body was on Xu Ziyue's body, as if he wished to be one.
Just before Guan Chengze spoke, the puppet patted him...
Xu Ziyue pondered for a while, and when Yan Shi came out of the bathroom, he put away his expression of thinking about something.
