Chapter 2 Fairy Child
"Cough! Cough!"
"quack--"
The geese continued to fly south, and Bai Jingyuan was wrapped in a big jacket with a reed flower on the face of a kudzu, huddled in the golden and soft hay nest, coughing so hard that his eyes were filled with tears.
This is a shed made of reed poles mixed with hay. It is a bit shaped like a cuolozi, and it is about the same size as the toy tent he liked when he was a child.
Since the day he traveled through time, he had a cold for a day and fell into water again.
When he saw the big man bearded rushing towards him with a sharp knife with a bloody knife, he thought he had encountered a cannibal, but he was not even beaten! Are you surprised?
The big man picked him up from the water and carried him back to this place similar to the village.
The reason why the word "similar" is that he is not sure whether this place hidden deep in the reed marsh and only has a pile of low grass sheds can be considered a village.
The big man brought him here and stuffed him into the cleanest shed in the middle, and then someone brought him water and rice.
The water is warm water, and the rice is made of black and yellow, fine and long rice. The cooked cracks and the grains are clearly distinguished and not sticky. It smells sweet and sweet. It is a bit like the rice that his grandmother has been pursuing for a while, but it tastes different. I wonder if it is because the cooking skills of his chef and the people here are different?
Anyway, he ate very well, and it took a lot of effort to control the urge to swallow and preserve the shaky demeanor of a famous family.
He really didn't like the Japanese food the night before, so he only ate half full.
After dinner, he got into the soft hay nest and fell asleep, but he started to have a fever in the middle of the night that day.
At first, he was so dying that he thought he was going to die, and then someone fed him water and put a wet cloth on his forehead.
Later, the high fever turned into a low fever. A black-faced woman brought him a thick reed coat, fed him water, and gave him a full meal.
After that, someone brought him food for two meals every day.
In addition to the rice that looks a bit like rice, he also ate black pickles and porridge mixed with some kind of plant tuber. He didn't want to describe the taste, but it was all for living anyway.
He just shrank in the relatively warm shed. When the sun came out, it moved to the door to bask in the sun. When the sun sets, it retreated back to the grass nest to sleep. Every day, it got better!
Life is fragile most of the time, but it is particularly tenacious at a few times.
If it weren't for the difficulty this time, he wouldn't know where his bottom line was!
At the beginning, I was not energetic for the first two days, and I didn’t want to die so pitiful. I just ate and drank food and drink it. I couldn’t wake up like a sleeping god all day long, so I didn’t think so much about it.
Since he got better day by day and walked around the shed, he found that everyone here was not covered, only him, wrapped in silk nightgown and a reed jacket outside. It was even more scary when he was eating. A group of people squatted nearby and looked at the cooked rice in his pottery bowl. They chewed the colorful food in their hands, their eyes full of desire. He realized that his treatment was really ridiculous!
When he was young, he understood one truth.
When a stranger is too kind to him and lets him ask for it, he probably expects to get more from his elders.
He came into this world with no father or mother, let alone a powerful family. They have such a huge investment, even if they are not full or warm, they have to let him eat and drink well. What is the purpose of?
He didn't believe that these people who could raise children like wolf cubs were saints!
He remembered the black-haired pig he saw in the countryside when his mother sent him to participate in the transformation program.
After many years, he still remembers the expectant expressions of the old farmers when they talk about the "When they wait until the end of the year, they will kill pigs for the New Year" and look at them with them...
"Ahem!!"
Just thinking about it, he couldn't help but coughing worsened.
At the beginning, he was ignorant and fearless, and he had a plan to communicate with them and inquire about the situation in this world. Now even if he sees those women and children who seem to be easy to talk to, he dare not open his mouth!
He is scared!
I was so scared that I couldn't sleep well!
What if they found out that he was an outsider and wouldn't even say something here?
The unknown is the most fearful thing. Today, he is almost worried that he can’t afford to eat!
Well, it's "almost", not true.
The person who has never been hungry before can't stand the hunger. Now he only has two meals a day, and there is only one unpalatable bowl of food for each meal. He doesn't want to die, so he forces himself to force himself.
In fact, with the complicated memories of the fresh seafood barbecue pot, Japanese and French food caviar in my mind, it is not that difficult to eat.
Besides, even children younger than him can’t eat such good meals. When he eats rice, how can he have so many opinions?
"Fairy boy, do you want water?"
When he heard his cough, the black-faced woman who was specifically responsible for taking care of him immediately fell to the entrance of the low shed and asked worriedly.
"no."
After suppressing the itch in his throat, Bai Jingyuan blushed and refused seriously.
Since he discovered that only the water delivered with rice is boiling water, and the water in other times is raw water brought back from the lake, he no longer drinks other water.
There is no doctor or medicine now. He doesn't want to die too early, so he has to keep his mouth under control.
Seeing that he refused, the woman left immediately.
She never went against his will, like a machine that only knows how to obey.
Even for so long, he only learned to use "can" and "no" to express his wishes. He could not understand the others, even the names they called him.
The language here is really hard to learn, and it is probably no less than Hakka dialect!
Speaking of which, he could learn whether he could be good or not, or in the first few days, no matter what the black-faced woman sent, she would ask first "yes" or "no". When he nodded tentatively, she would leave the thing. If he shook his head, she would take it away. After a few times, he tentatively opened his mouth and found that it was indeed the case, and he was a little excited!
The sun slowly sets westward, and in the reed marsh where he does nothing and has no fun, life is very slow. He is afraid that the cold will worsen, so he only goes out for a walk at noon when the sun is at its peak, and stays in the shed all the time.
I originally thought that today would be the same as in the previous few days. In the evening, I could eat a bowl of rough rice and drink a pot of warm water, and then I could get into the soft and golden grass nest and listen to the last worm chirping in late autumn.
As a result, the sky turned cloudy and it started to rain!
"Crazy~"
The rain is getting heavier and harder, and it is almost like a pour when it gets dark!
[Brother Peng! You have to be more reliable! Hold on! Don’t fall down! Don’t leak it!!]
It’s no joke that the autumn rain and the coolness are!
With the reed jacket wrapped tightly, Bai Jingyuan squatted on the hay that was tall and tall, and heard the loud sound of wind and rain in the reed marsh. He looked at the roof of the shed, and then looked at the hard and dark brown ground after he opened the hay. He was really shocked and scared!
Will this simple straw shed leak?
His cold has not been cured yet! What if he gets wet?
I can't bear it even if I can't take a shower. Can't I let him take a dry and enjoy it for a few days?
There are also this pile of hay that is both quilts and beds. The importance is self-evident! If it is wet and soaked, where will you sleep tomorrow?
This grass is thin, soft and not piercing. It smells like a nice fragrance. He hasn't seen it for a day before. If it is broken, where can he find a replacement?
Those people raised him for no reason. Do they know if they would notice these embarrassing trivial things in his life. After all, there is no paper or smart toilet. No one can teach him how to wipe his butt. These days, the output problem has caused him a lot of suffering. Not only do they have to hide from the savages who are peeking, but they also have to find a way to find a cough cough...
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. In the past, all the wild people who liked to stay outside hid in the small shed. Occasionally, there would be children crying and adults' comforting voices.
Actually, he is very afraid of thunder!
There are no lightning rods here, and I don’t know if there will be lightning fire. If there is a fire in the reed marsh, I’ll probably burn it to death this season.
I miss my parents, brother and grandma so much. Even if my arrogant and sarcastic nephew deserves a beating, it makes him want to cry when he thinks about it!
Obviously, the family can’t spend all the money and enjoy endless blessings, why can he let him travel through time?!
Those who can’t live any more, who are extremely dissatisfied with life, and whose skills are full of them, aren’t it more suitable for traveling through time?
I want him to be a rich young man...
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
This kind of robbery behavior of being kidnapped by time and space can be torn to vote at any time and not let his nephew redeem him is so annoying!
The heavy rain was like a pour, and the simple straw shed was swaying in the wind. Bai Jingyuan squatted on the haystacks hungry and cold, covering his face and crying very much, so he did not notice that the strong men who disappeared during the day had returned with huge, blood-stained bags on their backs.
