Chapter 5: Space Spirit Spring
Dabao and Erbao were very hungry and wanted to eat, but they didn't dare tell the woman.
They are afraid of being beaten.
When the woman was in a good mood, she would let them eat.
When you are in a bad mood, let them go hungry.
If Dad was at home, the woman would let them eat to please him.
But since Dad wasn't at home, they didn't dare tell anyone that they were hungry.
Dabao was also hungry, but he felt more sorry for his younger brother.
"When we go up the mountain to collect firewood later, let's go up the mountain and see if there are any pheasant eggs."
When they go to the mountains to collect firewood, if they are lucky, they can occasionally find pheasant eggs or bird eggs, which they can roast and eat on the mountain to fill their stomachs.
That was the best food they could eat.
Sometimes grandma would secretly give them food.
Otherwise, he and his brother might have starved to death long ago.
But grandma and the others are also having a hard time, and grandma can’t even see clearly anymore.
Dabao's eyebrows were furrowed, and he looked very worried.
"Brother, I'm not hungry." Erbao didn't want to make his brother worry, so he said he was not hungry.
Dabao reached out and gently wiped the water from the corner of his brother's mouth.
He knew his brother was hungry, but his brother didn't say it.
The two are twins, both three years old, but Dabao always thinks he is the older brother, so he takes care of his younger brother.
It can be said that the two babies grew up relying on each other until they were three years old.
…
After Shen Yueyao fried the shredded radish pancake, she placed it on the small basket.
The family couldn't afford a clay basin, so this basket for food was woven from clean corn husks.
It was made by the eldest sister-in-law of the Su family and can be used to hold food on weekdays.
After finishing, Shen Yueyao came to the yard and said to Dabao and Erbao gently: "Dabao and Erbao, wash your hands and go back to the house to eat."
Dabao and Erbao were both stunned. This woman actually spoke to them so gently and asked them to eat.
The two babies opened their eyes wide to make sure they heard correctly. They quickly washed their hands and went back to the house to eat.
Sitting at the dining table, Dabao and Erbao looked at the shredded radish pancakes in the basket and their mouths were watering.
It tastes delicious just by smelling it, and it must be delicious when it looks golden and crispy.
Shen Yueyao looked at the two people and said softly, "This is the shredded radish pancake that mother made. If you make too much, it will be wasted if you can't finish it. You should eat more this morning. Only when you have a full meal will you have the strength to work."
Shen Yueyao knew that the shadow cast by her previous life on the two treasures was too great, and if she changed too much all of a sudden, the two treasures would not believe it.
Only after I said this did they dare to eat without restraint.
Dabao and Erbao blinked their eyes. It turned out that this woman wanted them to work before she would let them eat delicious food.
But they are still very happy.
Shen Yueyao pushed the shredded radish pancake in front of them and said, "It's a little hot, eat slowly."
"You can eat shredded radish pancakes and drink porridge at the same time."
Dabao and Erbao seemed to be very hungry, and they didn't care about the heat and reached out to grab the shredded radish pancakes.
Dabao took one and blew on it vigorously. When it was about the right temperature, he handed it to Erbao and said, "Brother, this is ready to eat."
Erbao shook his head and said, "Brother, eat this. I'll eat this."
Shen Yueyao felt relieved when she saw the two treasures hugging each other.
"Eat quickly, there's still plenty. If you like it, mom will make more."
Shen Yueyao also took one, blew on it a few times, and ate it gently.
She thought it tasted good, but it needed more seasoning.
It would taste better if the seasonings were complete.
Erbao took a bite of the shredded radish pancake and was stunned when he put it in his mouth.
He stared blankly at the shredded radish pancake in front of him with wide eyes. He had never eaten anything so delicious before.
It’s so delicious.
Dabao was also stunned and couldn't help but eat several mouthfuls in a row, not caring that it was a little hot.
He carefully raised his head to look at Shen Yueyao.
His eyelashes trembled, and he was a little confused.
Shen Yueyao lowered her head to eat, and naturally knew that Dabao was looking at her.
She was afraid that the two treasures would feel uncomfortable if she looked at them, so she pretended to know nothing and just glanced at them out of the corner of her eye.
The second baby ate obediently with a smile on his face, full of satisfaction, and cute dimples on his cheeks, which looked very beautiful.
Shen Yueyao seemed to have discovered a new world, and she wanted to poke the dimple on Erbao's cheek.
He ate slowly, as if he was reluctant to eat, and looked like he was enjoying the food slowly.
Dabao eats fast, taking big bites.
Even so, the two treasures ate silently, and even though they were wearing shabby clothes, their every move was elegant.
Fortunately, Shen Yueyao did a lot.
Dabao and Erbao each ate three small cakes, and Shen Yueyao ate two.
The pancakes are not big, and eating two will not make you full at all. What's more, this body is very fat now, with a big appetite, and eats a lot.
But Shen Yueyao wanted to lose weight, so she had to eat less.
This body didn't become fat because of eating too much, but because it ate all kinds of things before and was poisoned by toxins. The toxins are harmless to the body, but they make people fat.
If you want to lose weight, one way is to eat less and exercise more, and the other is to take medicine to eliminate toxins.
But in this era, not only is the food culture backward, but the medical conditions are also very poor. There is no doctor in the village at all. There is only a pharmacy in the town where a doctor sees patients. A prescription for a doctor costs at least a hundred coins.
If the villagers have a headache or fever, if it is not serious, they will treat it themselves with folk remedies.
Otherwise just carry it.
Only serious problems will lead to seeing a doctor.
After eating, Dabao and Erbao naturally picked up the bowls, chopsticks and spoons and went to the yard to wash them.
It's the beginning of spring and the weather is still a bit cold.
Shen Yueyao said: "You guys go play, I'll wash up."
Although Dabao and Erbao didn't understand why this woman was not the same as before, they were used to being obedient and didn't say anything.
After Shen Yueyao washed and put away the dishes, she went into her own space.
…
Dabao and Erbao came to the yard and looked into the house quietly. They were relieved only after they were sure that the woman did not scold them or beat them.
Erbao covered his stomach with his hands and said, "Brother, the cake is delicious. I am so full."
Dabao nodded and said, "Yeah, it's delicious. I'm very full too."
Erbao said, "Brother, it would be great if that woman could always be like this."
Dabao warned: "We can't trust her. She might be up to something bad. We need to be careful."
Erbao nodded obediently, he listened to his brother.
Dabao said, "Let's go. Let's take our baskets and go to the mountain to dig wild vegetables and collect firewood. If we don't work, the woman will be angry."
He remembered that during the meal, the woman said that only after eating a full meal can one have the strength to work.
So we still have to work.
Erbao was obedient. He walked to the side to pick up the basket, then went out holding hands with his brother.
…
Shen Yueyao didn't know all this. After she entered the space, she was stunned by the environment.
She remembered that her space used to be a farm.
But now, she only has three acres of land and a bamboo house with a fence, and the house is empty.
But there is a pool of spiritual spring water next to it.
She remembered that there used to be a river of spiritual spring water, but now there was only a small pool.
