Chapter 139.

He went to the kitchen alone, explained Feng Yichen's orders to the cook, and the little maid in the kitchen led him to the backyard.

The backyard is the firewood room. This firewood room is different from the previous firewood room. There are sundries piled there, and its main function is to detain servants who have made mistakes. This is the real firewood room, which is full of firewood sticks.

The ones that have been chopped and those that have not been chopped are put aside, and the ones that need to be chopped today have been piled up in the yard. What she has to do today is to chop the firewood in the yard and fill the water tank in the kitchen.

Because someone will fill up the water tank the day before, the kitchen will have enough water that day. Therefore, the first thing she has to do is chop wood, and then fill up the water tank in the kitchen in the evening.

Although I have never chopped firewood before, I have seen others do it, so I thought it would not be too difficult, so I found an axe, imitated what I had seen, set up the firewood stick, raised the axe, and chopped it down fiercely. Zhizhi missed the aim, the ax brushed the wood stick, and sank deeply into the wooden stake used to support the chopping wood, and the wood stick was bounced off and hit her thigh.

A burst of severe pain hit, Du Lanyan knelt down and covered her injured thigh, tears flowed down her cheeks, the injured area was numb with pain, she reached out to rub it, but the pain became unbearable just as soon as she exerted force .

In desperation, she had to drag her injured leg and find a place to sit down.

She wanted to continue chopping firewood after the pain in her leg subsided a bit, but as soon as she had this thought, she couldn't help feeling sad in her heart. She sniffed hard to suppress the indescribable sadness, and then Reaching out to wipe away the tears, he picked up the ax and sticks and continued to chop wood.

What everyone else can do, so can she.

Thinking in this way, she summed up experience from failure after failure, and finally made the firewood splitting a success. Looking at the successfully split firewood stick, Du Lanyan wiped the dense sweat on her forehead, and smiled at the corner of her mouth.

"Ma'am, it's time to eat!" A little maid came over with a tray. Du Lanyan put down the ax and stood upright, focusing on her left foot while slightly lifting her injured right foot. It doesn't make people notice the difference.

"Put it there!" She was unstable and couldn't hold the tray, so she asked the little maid to put the tray aside.

The little maid put down the tray, turned her head to see that there were only a few firewood Du Lanyan had chopped, and went over to pick up an ax to help her chop.

"Ma'am, at your speed, you won't be able to finish chopping all the firewood when it gets dark. The servants should be quicker, and they usually do things like chopping wood and carrying water. Why don't the servants help you? Anyway, no one will see it, and the master will not." will know."

"Let's put it down, I can do these things, thank you for your kindness." Du Lanyan stopped her, Feng Yichen asked them to do these things, even if he didn't say no to help, she would not do it to others, she would Prove to him that she, Du Lanyan, is not a weak flower, and nothing can stop her.

The little maid wanted to insist on helping Du Lanyan, but seeing her serious face, she had no choice but to put down the ax and went back to the kitchen.

Du Lanyan hurriedly finished her lunch, picked up the ax and continued chopping wood.

She didn't rest for a moment, and even took a few bites of dinner in a hurry, but she managed to finish the job in a matter of hours.

At this time, everyone in the mansion rested, Du Lanyan stacked up the chopped firewood, and then went to get a bucket to fetch water.

She was wrung out of the water, and when she stretched out her hand, her foot slipped, and she almost fell into the well with the bucket. Fortunately, someone caught her in time and lifted the bucket.

Du Lanyan glanced at the person beside him, seeing that it was Yun Qian, she thanked him with a smile, then took the wooden barrel in his hand, and carried it to the kitchen.

Her right thigh seemed to be swollen, and the pain was still there, and the burn on her hand was also painful, but she gritted her teeth and insisted on doing things.

He was limping when he walked, and his right hand was burned, so he could only rely on his left hand and staggered. Before he reached the kitchen, a little half of the water in the bucket was shaken out.

"Let me help you!" Yun Qian couldn't stand it any longer, stepped forward two steps, took the wooden barrel in her hand, and said.

"No, I can do it myself!" Du Lanyan did not let go, and grabbed the barrel with both hands.

"Don't be brave." Yun Qian frowned, and there was a little distress in the depths of her eyes.

"I didn't try to be brave. This is my own business. I do it myself. Now that I'm not the princess, you don't need to protect me by my side anymore. Go back." Du Lanyan said, then turned around and continued to stagger towards the kitchen.

She could feel that Yunqian wasn't there during the day, she wondered if Feng Yichen had called him, and when he came, it was just when Du Lanyan was fetching water, so he didn't know that Du Lanyan's hands and feet were injured Seeing her acting strangely when carrying water, I only thought it was because Du Lanyan was extremely tired and the water was too heavy.

Seeing that Du Lanyan didn't appreciate it, he didn't leave, but just followed her all the way. Du Lanyan only concentrated on doing her own thing and let him follow by her side.

When I went to the kitchen with the bucket, I thought the water tank was empty, but unexpectedly, there was still more than half of the water in the water tank, and my eyes were sore, but I still held back the tears.

The kitchen needs to wash rice and vegetables, which consumes a lot of water. Even if there is still water left in the water tank after a day, there will not be so much water left. Presumably, the people in the kitchen couldn't bear her hard work and saved it.

With gratitude in my heart, I poured the water in the bucket, then turned around and went to the backyard to fetch water, always treating the clouds as if they were air.

It's not that she vented her anger towards Feng Yichen on Yun Qian, but that she was very tired, and she only hoped to finish her work early and rest early. She is now supported by her stubborn temper. I don't even have the strength to speak.

She didn't speak, Yun Qian was also silent, until Du Lanyan filled the water and it was already ugly, it was less than two hours before dawn, Du Lanyan was tired and sleepy, so she smiled at Yun Qian as a farewell, Then go back to sleep.

When she got to the room, she found that Yaya was not there. Du Lanyan woke up the maid beside her and asked, and then she found out that Feng Yichen was sleeping in Sufei's room tonight, and she asked Yaya to keep watch.

Du Lanyan couldn't tell what it was like to hear the news for the first time. She had been in pain, cried and cried, and even slapped herself, but what was the use of her doing these things?
Feng Yichen won't look at her again, and she has to learn not to cry without pain.

After fetching water and washing up, I thought I would fall asleep quickly when I was tired today, but for some reason, lying on the bed, I didn’t even feel sleepy. The injuries on her legs and hands tormented her body, so painful that she dared not even move She moved, and the wound in her heart tormented her thoughts, making her breathless.

She felt that her head was full of things, but she didn't know what they were. In the end, there were only countless pictures that kept changing. It was Feng Yichen who treated her well. It was blank again.

Du Lanyan looked at the ceiling with her eyes open, her eyes were empty, she suddenly felt that the long night was so long, why is it still not dawn?
