"Hey, you silly girl! Sit on the ground when you're still sick!"
Xu Daya's mother, Mrs. Li, appeared in the yard at some point, picked up Murong and walked into the house.
"...Mom, you put me down, I want to bask in the sun."
When Mrs. Li heard that her daughter, who had been bedridden for several days and was afraid of seeing the sun, spoke so calmly, she stopped hesitantly: "Is it possible? Aren't you afraid of light a few days ago?"
"I can do it. I don't have the strength to lie down for a long time. I want to stay with Goudan for a while."
Only then did Li put down Mu Rong, patted her head and said happily: "Thank God, the Bodhisattva has appeared. Mr. Du's medicine is really effective. Mother made you diced meat, and you can eat right away."
After speaking, he walked towards the kitchen in a hurry, and Murong returned to Goudan'er again, pretending to be natural, and asked, "I've been sick and confused for a while, did you just say that someone came from Uncle Tieshan's house?"
"That's right, Uncle Tieshan's distant cousin, I heard from the adults that the husband's family has no one and came to join him."
"Come here a month ago?"
Goudan stopped what he was doing, and looked at Mu Rong with a pair of clear and bright eyes: "It seems so."
"Dinner's ready!" Mrs. Li walked over with a square table in her arms, and gave Goudaner a look: "I know how to play, so hurry up and help!"
Goudan flipped over a few times with his fingers nimbly, and jumped in front of Murong: "Sister, put the grasshopper in, don't forget to button it to save it from running away."
Murong took over the grass cage, pulled two sticks of hay and tied a knot to close the door of the cage. Goudan brought three small stools and went to the kitchen to help Mrs. Li serve dishes.
The meals of farmers in this era are very simple, and they can eat whatever is grown in the field.
A small pot of sorghum rice, a bowl of farm miso, two cucumbers with thorny tops and a handful of shallots, and a bowl of dark wild vegetables.
A bowl of cornmeal porridge was placed alone, and some diced meat could be vaguely seen in it. Li Shi came back from the last trip with a bowl in his hand.
Goudan searched for the smell, sniffed it, grabbed the chopsticks and ran to Mrs. Li: "Scrambled eggs! Mother, you scrambled eggs!?"
"Go, it's just you who are greedy. Your sister should make up for it after being ill for so many days. You are not allowed to compete with her."
Goudaner swallowed, put his feet on his feet and looked into the bowl.
It's not hard to see how much he wanted to eat this bowl of scrambled eggs, but he didn't grab the food, he just watched eagerly.
The three of them took their seats one by one, and Mrs. Li pushed the cornmeal porridge in front of Murong: "Come on, let's eat."
Immediately afterwards, he put the scrambled eggs in front of Murong, and took out a piece of yellow-orange cornbread from the basin and stuffed it into Murong's hand: "Mother knows you don't have an appetite, this cornbread is not enough to fill you up, so you just eat it." Let's eat."
After Li Shi finished speaking, she filled a bowl of sorghum rice for herself and Goudan respectively, and put a chopstick of wild vegetables into the Goudan bowl: "Eat."
Goudan glanced at the scrambled eggs with his chopsticks in his hands, picked up the bowl, swallowed his saliva, and began to eat with big mouthfuls.
Although it was a simple meal, the dog eggs were delicious. His cheeks puffed up and he chewed on a pair of small packets. Then he picked up a shallot and dipped it in the sauce bowl and took a bite.
There was only a small piece of scrambled eggs in the bowl, and it should have been scrambled from only one egg. She took half of it and put it in the Goudaner bowl, but was stopped.
"You girl, my mother is going to make up for you, and you can't give it to him if you eat it yourself."
Goudan'er held the bowl and waited for nothing. He looked at the egg longingly, and said sensiblely: "Sister, you can eat it. I just bought bird eggs with the monkey yesterday. I'm not greedy."
Murong took a bite of the porridge and it was not delicious. Food in this era has not undergone any further processing at all. The cornmeal is coarsely ground and there are still some grains in it, and the diced meat also has a fishy smell.
She moved her fingers holding the bowl, the temperature of her fingertips was so real.
Everything she saw, touched, and smelled was exactly the same as the real world.
What kind of world is this? I obviously came in with Sang Yu, and the difference was no more than ten seconds at most. Why did Sang Yu arrive a month earlier than her, what about the others
Even though she hasn't had time to look in the mirror, she can feel her body shrinking. Has everyone who entered this world changed, or is it just herself
After the meal, Mu Rong planned to help Mrs. Li with some work, but she pushed her back to the room: "Mother doesn't need your help, you will be the greatest filial piety to mother if you get well soon."
Murong had no choice but to do so, and looked out of the yard through the lattice window. It was completely dark, with only a few sporadic light sources, and the village was not yet connected to electricity.
Murong doesn't like this kind of life where he washes up and sleeps after eating.
She wanted to go to Sang Yu, but judging from the current situation, she could only wait until tomorrow.
The next morning, Mu Rong was woken up by Li Shi. Her breakfast was a bowl of noodles mixed with white flour and cornmeal, with a poached egg added.
Lishi and Goudan bowls are another kind of noodles that are yellow and black.
Goudan picked up a chopstick of salty wild vegetables and mixed them into the noodles, picked up the bowl and started to eat.
As soon as Murong took three bites, Goudan belched and put down the bowl, licked his lips and wiped it carelessly, grabbed a pastry in the small basin and ran out.
Li looked at Goudan's back and shouted: "Every day I know to go out to the field, come back early!"
"knew!"
After Li cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, he carried the agricultural tools and prepared to go out. Before leaving, he specially told Mu Rong: "Mother, go to the field to have a look and come back later. If you are hungry, there is a cloth bag in the bottom of the cupboard with eggs in it." Cook it yourself, if you are not hungry, wait for mother to come back and cook for you."
Mu Rong nodded obediently: "Understood."
Mrs. Li left, and Murong waited patiently for a while, then called out tentatively to make sure Mrs. Li had left and sat up.
Feeling dizzy for a while, Murong had to sit on the edge of the Kang for a while before slowly getting up.
She walked around the house first, and searched all three tile-roofed houses but found no mirrors, so she had to lift the lid of the water tank to look.
The reflection in the water is a strange girl, pale and thin, wearing an ill-fitting coarse cloth shirt with soft hair sticking to her forehead, she has become Xu Daya.
This body is very weak, and every few steps she takes, she has to stop to catch her breath. Murong's mind is implanted with the memories of Xu Daya's later years. She sees the village as friendly everywhere, but she can't remember the specific way.
She vaguely remembered that Zhao Tieshan lived in the east of the village and was a widowed blind man.
So he dragged his heavy body and walked towards the east of the village.
Along the way, many villagers greeted her: "Hey, Da Ya is sick? Where are you going?"
"Uncle Tiegen, I'm looking for Goudaner."
"The boy and the monkey went wild by the river. Your mother has suffered a lot during this time. You must be filial to her in the future. Go home and don't run around."
Murong nodded: "I've been lying down for too long and my whole body is sore, so just walk around."
Tie Gen stared at Murong for a while, but said nothing.
After walking for a while, Murong suddenly saw a familiar figure on the side of the road, and quickened his pace and walked towards that person.
His appearance also changed, but Murong remembered the clothes, the black robe and melon skin hat, and the magic whip pinned to his waist.
Zeng Tianhan also saw Mu Rong, a strange look flashed across his face, and he walked towards Mu Rong.
"Big ya, are you cured?"
Murong frowned, his eyes fell on the magic whip around his waist: "Are you...?"
Zeng Tianhan's expression became more and more strange, and he said with a smile: "I'm Wu Xingmin, we met a few days ago."
Mu Rong's heart was pounding, she saw the handle of the knife protruding from the shoulder of "Wu Xingmin", she was sure that the person in front of her was Zeng Tianhan, but why didn't he recognize herself? And you said you met yourself a few days ago
I should have only been in this world for two days, so who was that person Zeng Tianhan saw
Also, his clothes are the ones that came in, so Zeng Tianhan should have recognized him too.
According to the normal reaction, he should at least confirm his identity. Why did he say such strange things
An inexplicable nervousness arose in Mu Rong's heart. She didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zeng Tianhan's gourd, so she decided to speak first.
"You are Zeng Tian... huh?!"
Zeng Tianhan had a weird expression on his face, and there was panic in it. He rushed forward and covered Mu Rong's mouth tightly, and said in a trembling voice that only the two of them could hear, "Don't violate the agreement." thing!"
"Ouch!"
Zeng Tianhan clutched the back of his head and jumped back, Goudaner suddenly appeared beside the dirt road, bent down and picked up a small stone and held it in his hand, with beads of sweat hanging from the tip of his nose, he said angrily, "Why are you bullying me?" sister?"
Zeng Tianhan stared at Mu Rong with wide eyes, eagerness and warning in his eyes, Mu Rong pursed his lips, and took a step back: "Thank you Brother Xingmin."
Goudaner ran to Murong and took her hand: "Sister, what are you thanking him for? I saw him bullying you."
"You read it wrong. I suddenly became dizzy and fell forward. It was Brother Xingmin who supported me."
A trace of suspicion flashed in Goudan'er's eyes, and he tilted his head and asked, "Really? How do I think he gagged you?"
"You read it wrong. My mother went to work in the fields. Tell me where the eggs are. I came out to look for you. Do you want to eat boiled eggs?"
Goudan'er dropped the stone in his hand, pulled Mu Rong back and said, "I want to eat!"
Mu Rong looked back at Zeng Tianhan, who was also looking at her.
But Mu Rong didn't read any joy of reuniting with his companions, he just watched them leave blankly, seeing Zeng Tianhan like this, Mu Rong felt sad.
Why is Zeng Tianhan sad
