Seeing her granddaughter getting angry, Old Lady Tian stopped teasing Tian Tian and said, "Alright! I won't laugh anymore. Hurry up and apply some soapy water, and it won't itch in a while."
Tian Tian looked at Old Lady Tian with resentment. She had already applied medicine when she got up, but the mosquitoes in the countryside were so poisonous that the medicine was of no use at all. Now the mosquito bites on her body were a little painful.
However, Tian Tian still listened to what Old Lady Tian said and applied some soapy water. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she really felt that the mosquito bites were not so itchy after applying the soapy water.
After getting up, the damn Tian Baobao saw Tian Tian’s mosquito bites and pointed at her and laughed at her for a long time.
Later, Tian Tian grabbed him, pinned him on her knees and beat him for a long time before he stopped.
"Sister! I never noticed that you attract mosquitoes so much before. My mom didn't use mugwort last night, so we weren't bitten. You became like this, hahahaha." After saying that, Tian Baobao couldn't help but burst into laughter again.
Tian Tian didn't have the time to teach him a lesson. As she listened to what Tian Baobao said, she remembered the time a few days ago when she went up the mountain and was chased by a snake.
Could it really be because of her snail-eating constitution?
Speaking of which, she was often bitten by mosquitoes in her previous life. There were four people in a dormitory, and they sprayed floral water and wind oil in the dormitory every day. As a result, there were always one or two mosquitoes that attacked her with the smell and left two big bumps on her body.
Even cats and dogs loved to rub against her, and she was very proud of her cat- and dog-loving nature at that time.
If it were in her previous life, she would be very happy that her physique could attract many small animals. After all, there was no big danger in the city.
But the problem is that she is in the countryside now! What if she goes into the mountains and attracts poisonous snakes and wild beasts? With her weak body, won't she be a meal for humans and wild beasts?
Tian Tian suddenly felt that her life was in danger. She wished she could get away from the mountain immediately and never go there again.
But she lives in the countryside now and has to rely on the mountains for her livelihood all year round. How can she really go up the mountain? She can't let her parents work in the fields while going up the mountain to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables, right?
Tian Tian sighed sadly, it seemed that this was unavoidable.
Fortunately, the mountains on their side are all small hills. Although there are one or two long mountain ranges, the villagers will not easily go up those mountains.
Besides, she had hunted a lot before, and the wild beasts would not easily come out of the mountains. As long as she didn't do anything stupid, it would not be a big deal.
If it doesn't work, she will hide in her shell, but there is still a problem.
Although she can hide in a snail shell, the snail shell will not disappear and will remain exactly where she hid.
In her previous life, she was a snail spirit. Every time she entered the shell, the shell would disappear along with her body.
She was a real person in this life. People can disappear, but snail shells cannot. If the snail shells were swallowed by those animals, she would also die.
This was discovered when she was sick and entered a snail shell to look for medicine. Lin Meiyu went into the room to pour her some water, but found that she was not in the room, and there was a gray snail shell on the pillow.
Later, when Lin Meiyu was out, she came out of the snail shell. Li Meiyu saw her and asked her what the shell was.
They also have snails here, but their shells are different from those of Tiantian.
Although Tian Tian is not doing well, she is still a snail spirit. She is big and her snail shell is pretty. You can tell at first glance that she looks different from the snails here.
Tian Tian casually told Lin Meiyu that she had picked it up from the river before, and she didn't know what it was, so Lin Meiyu fooled her.
It was at that time that Tian Tian realized that her snail shell would not disappear with her.
At that time, Tian Tian felt a little lost and sad. Her snail shell was her home. In the past, as long as she hid in the shell, she would be safe and no one could hurt her. She often lived in the snail shell when she had no place to stay during the holidays.
But now her shell can no longer protect her like before, and she has to find a safe place for her shell before she goes in.
Tian Tian sighed sadly and didn't even have the energy to eat breakfast in the morning.
When others saw that Tian Tian was unusually silent today, they thought it was because of the mosquito bites on her face. They all comforted her, saying that even if she had two mosquito bites on her face, she was still the cutest girl in the village. Chen Guihua even pressed Tian Baobao down to apologize to her.
Tian Tian became even sadder after hearing this.
With two big bumps on her head, Tian Tian didn't want to go out and be laughed at, so she stayed at home working all day and didn't go out.
This wait lasted until the end of the autumn harvest. The mosquito bites on Tian Tian's face had healed, but two large patches of pigmentation were left on her cheeks and eyelids, which were very conspicuous.
Tian Tian had never seen such poisonous mosquitoes in her life. The mosquito bites on her face disappeared, and there was only a small black spot in the middle of a large area of pigmentation. It still itched badly when she scratched it, but it was much better than before.
After the autumn harvest, there were more things to do, and Tian Tian couldn't stay at home all day without seeing anyone. Although the two big black spots on her face were a bit ugly, she was not too young to be seen in public.
On the second day after the autumn harvest, Old Lady Tian took her two daughters-in-law and Tian Tian to the mountain to pick chestnuts. Now there are not only chestnuts on the mountain, but also wild apples, wild pears, wild grapes and mountain reds.
This made Tian Tian very happy. God knows how long it had been since she had seen such rich and fresh fruits.
Tian Tian found a wild grape vine in a small valley, which was full of clusters of wild grapes.
Tian Tian picked a grape and tasted it. The grape was ripe. She sucked the flesh gently and it slid into her mouth. It was sour and sweet.
Tian Tian felt a little greedy when looking at these grapes. She wanted to pick them all and take them back. However, these grapes could not be stored for too long. Even if she took them back, they would all rot within a few days. Her space could not preserve freshness.
She only picked a few bunches and put them in the earthen basket, then picked a lot more and put them in the space. She planned to go back and make grape jam in the evening.
Before leaving, Tian Tian looked at the grapes on the tree and felt reluctant to leave.
It would be a pity if these grapes fell to the ground and rotted, so we should call a few more people to pick them.
After picking the grapes, Tian Tian ran to find Lin Meiyu. Two aunts next to Lin Meiyu saw the grapes in Tian Tian's basket and asked Tian Tian where they came from.
Tian Tian did not hide anything from them and showed them the way openly.
Supplies are scarce now, and rural people seldom eat fruits. So now that they have grapes, they will definitely not let them go. The aunts happily followed the direction pointed by Tian Tian and went to pick grapes.
