The girl who wears fast

Chapter 192 Dalang, it’s time to drink medicine (2)

After making up her mind, Huo Shichu had to face the reality. She straight to the point and said to Wei Dalang:
"Although your family used herbs and food in exchange for me to come back, I have no intention of becoming a real husband and wife with you, but I will take good care of you while you are recuperating. After you recover, I will find a way How do you feel about returning the herbs and food to you in exchange for my free body?"

Huo Shichu didn't think that Wei Dalang would refuse, because he was an honest and honest person, it was difficult to refuse others, otherwise he wouldn't have been a soldier for almost ten years and would obediently send his salary home, even if he was crossed the river and demolished the bridge. There is no way, if you are a bit sane, you can't be so honest.

Sure enough, Wei Dalang just glanced at her indifferently, and agreed: "Yes."

Huo Shichu laughed immediately, and she said, "Then I'll clean the house first, and then go to the next door to borrow some rice for cooking. I can't always bother others—but I wonder if others will borrow it?"

She was a little annoyed again, after all, she had just arrived here, she didn't know anyone at all, and even if she had money and rice in her companion space, she couldn't use it openly.

Alas, do I have to go back to my old job and go hunting in the mountains?
"Go to Aunt Zhou's house, I gave her some silver, and asked her to take care of my food for a few days, and she will give you rice." Wei Dalang said.

"Okay..." Huo Shichu responded, and went out. Fortunately, although the deserted house was deserted, it was not unoccupied. Huo Shichu hadn't walked far before he saw a family in front of him.

She went up and knocked on the door: "Is it Aunt Zhou's house?"

"Grandma! Someone is looking for you!" A seven or eight-year-old boy was playing with mud in the yard. When he saw Huo Shichu, he looked at her curiously and shouted loudly.

Soon there was the sound of quick footsteps, and a somewhat familiar voice asked, "Who is it?"

As soon as the words fell, an old woman with gray hair and wrinkled face appeared in front of Huo Shichu. Huo Shichu asked quickly: "Excuse me, are you Aunt Zhou? I am from Wei Dalang's family. I want to talk to you." You borrow something..."

"From Wei Dalang's family? Oh, oh, you are the daughter-in-law that Dalang's stepmother bought back with a bag of corn..." Aunt Zhou suddenly realized, and stared at Huo Shichu without blinking. In the early days of Huo Shichu, she was also given medicine, but at that time I saw her in dim conditions, and I couldn't see her clearly at all.

So now that Huo Shichu was standing outside in broad daylight, Aunt Zhou squinted her eyes and looked her up and down carefully, and finally saw her appearance clearly: "She's a handsome girl..."

She muttered something, then raised her voice and asked, "It's from the Dalang family, what do you want to borrow?"

"Buckets, rice grains, pots and bowls, etc. are all needed. If you can borrow them, you can borrow them. If you can't, I'll go to other people's houses and ask." Huo Shichu was not polite to her.

"There are rice grains. Da Lang gave me some money to buy them. A bucket can last you a few days, but there is no way to cook the pot. There is only one in my family." Aunt Zhou said one by one, saying While filling Huo Shichu with rice, he took out a bucket and said, "You can use it as you go. I'll go to someone else's house and ask who has a spare pot or crock."

"Then trouble Aunt Zhou." Huo Shichu thanked him, took his things and went back first.

"Grandma, who is that sister? Why haven't I seen it before?" The little boy asked his grandma curiously, and Aunt Zhou lowered her voice and said:
"What's your sister called? Auntie, that's the daughter-in-law that Uncle Wei brought back yesterday..."

"Then why didn't you drink the wedding wine? Don't all brides have a banquet? There is meat to eat." The little boy asked innocently again.

Huo Shichu was far away, and he couldn't hear how Aunt Zhou answered her grandson. The perfunctory and playful marriage between the original owner and Wei Dalang, the Wei family's willingness to give out a bag of grain was already painful. How could it be possible to pay for the banquet?

Fortunately, the Wei family wasn't so shameless that they didn't even distribute broken bowls and chopsticks to Wei Dalang. Huo Shichu saw several chipped bowls and two pairs of blackened chopsticks in the kitchen, and one with a missing piece of lid. crock.

Huo Shichu threw away the two pairs of black and dirty chopsticks, went to break some branches near the house, and asked Wei Dalang to take a dagger he brought back from the battlefield, and whittled the branches into chopsticks.

If she had a stronger knife, she could still dig a few wooden bowls, but Wei Dalang's dagger is so ordinary that it can't cut down trees at all, so she had to scrub those chipped bowls with dirt and plant ash. brush.

Both of the family members were injured, so Huo Shichu didn't cook any complicated meals. Of course, even if she wanted to, she didn't have the ingredients to cook for her.

While cooking the porridge, Huo Shichu didn't take any time off. She fetched a bucket of water from the river and came back from the house. She found a broken wooden basin from the house, which was still usable, and started to tidy up the house.

Wei Qi lay on the bed, closed his eyes and listened to the movement outside, the sound of footsteps, water, and rubbing things, even though it was not noisy, Wei Qi could still hear it clearly.

He didn't expect that the young girl who was replaced as his wife would become so calm today, as if yesterday's crying and despair were all his illusions, and he would rather die than stay when he saw his appearance yesterday. But today, he calmly accepted this fact, and he really planned to take care of himself, and he was smart and rational in negotiating conditions with himself.

Can a person's mind be changed so completely in just one day?Wei Qi was puzzled, but if she said she wanted to stay, then he wouldn't drive her away, at least if she stayed, it would be more convenient for him.

Thinking of this, Wei Qi looked at his own legs. These two legs were indeed seriously injured, with comminuted fractures. Basically, they can't be cured. Even if they are cured, they will only become lame. If they recover better, they can walk , but unable to use force; the recovery was poor, so he had to use crutches.

His legs and feet are inconvenient. In this village that can only rely on hard farming, he is basically useless. No wonder the Wei family kicked him out of the house without even saving face.

But Wei Qi is not worried, he is confident that his leg can be completely cured without sequelae, so even though he is in a difficult situation now, he is not panic in his heart, because he knows that the current difficult situation is only temporary , When he recovers, then everything will be fine, and he can take revenge.

"Dalang, shall we have porridge?" Huo Shichu brought the porridge boiled out of rice oil to Wei Dalang's bed, helped him up, touched his bony body, and couldn't help feeling sorry for him.

Alas, after being seriously injured and abandoned by his family, he must be very desperate inside, isn't his heart ashamed?The double blow of body and mind, he is considered strong if he didn't collapse, and it's normal to be so thin...

She didn't know that Wei Dalang was not as painful as she imagined, but he still wanted to sharpen his sword and take revenge after he recovered from his injury.
