38 He taught her
◎Don't let men touch your clothes.◎
After he said this, the air became quiet and Tian Nongxi's expression was very interesting.
Wenxun didn't notice anything wrong and performed his duty as a guard wholeheartedly.
Tian Nongxi arranged the crumpled mothballs one by one, and when he stood up to leave the stone bench, he suddenly felt dizzy.
She leaned on the table to relax for a while, and the hunger that she had not noticed while sitting suddenly spread throughout her body.
It was already past lunchtime, and even though she had eaten a lot in the morning, she was still starving.
Shaking off the crumbs in his hands, Tian Nongxi walked straight to the kitchen.
When I passed by and asked her, she asked, "Are you hungry? I cooked."
"How can you let a girl cook?!"
If His Highness comes back and sees Miss Tian busy in front of the stove while he is standing aside, he will be sent back to the palace!
"I'm not hungry!" His stomach was empty, and he was so hungry that he looked at the sword like looking at fried dough sticks.
"Then can you help me light a fire?" Tian Nongxi thought for a moment, then said, "Don't call yourself a humble official, it sounds awkward." Then he walked away.
If His Highness comes back and sees Miss Tian busy in front of the stove while he is making a fire by the stove, he will be sent back home!
Tian Nongxi walked to the kitchen and looked back. Wen Xun hadn't caught up with him. He bowed and said loudly, "I'm not hungry!"
"Oh, okay." Tian Nongxi suspected that the cooing sound he heard when he just passed by him was an illusion.
She was too hungry to do anything else. She scooped a bowl of mountain spring water and poured it into the pot. When the water boiled, she found the noodles made by Huang from the cupboard and put them in.
The noodles were in a watery soup, without even a hint of oil.
After thinking about it, I tore off a few vegetables and put them in.
Still not satisfied, he snatched an egg from under the chicken and placed it on the surface.
After finishing the meal without leaving any soup, Tian Nongxi wiped his mouth and washed the bowl.
Less than a quarter of an hour had passed when I finished everything and walked out of the kitchen.
She lowered her sleeves and looked at Wen Xun, who was standing there motionless, and asked again, "Aren't you... hungry? There's still noodles."
"I'm not hungry!"
Tian Nongxi pursed her lips and nodded.
It felt so strange that there was someone in the yard who would look at her the first time she made any movement. When she thought that there might be more such people in the dark, Tian Nongxi felt even stranger.
She kept pacing, and in front of Wenxun's gaze, which he dared not look at but had to look at, she said, "I'm going to do the laundry, you don't have to follow me."
She did what she said and ran back to the house to change her clothes, then gathered them together and put them in the basin before going out.
The mallet was quietly leaning against the corner, but the basin was nowhere to be seen.
Tian Nongxi patted her head - she had taken the basin to fill with cold water and brought it to Wen Tingluan.
She had to put down her clothes and get the basin.
The room was in perfect order, the wrinkled quilt had been straightened out at some point, and it was impossible to tell what had happened a few hours ago.
Tian Nongxi quickly walked to the table and picked up the basin with a cloth still submerged in the water.
She heard her heart pounding and closed her eyes helplessly.
A sudden flush of red appeared on her face, which was blown away a little by the tactful breeze.
She looked up to see where the wind was coming from and realized the window was not closed.
This house was previously inhabited by Tian's father, and was later renovated in order to get married. The windows are different from those in other houses of the Tian family. They are Hehe windows specially made by Carpenter Wang.
Summer is about to begin, the temperature is rising rapidly, and all kinds of mosquitoes like to come out after the sun sets to join in the fun.
Not knowing when Wen Tingluan would be back, Tian Nongxi walked forward and prepared to close the window.
As soon as she closed the open lower half of the window, she looked out the window in shock - the place facing this window was clearly her house. From where Wen Tingluan was standing, she could see the doors and windows.
Thinking of how distracted he was in the house just now, Tian Nongxi secretly clicked his tongue.
When she was holding the basin and going out, she was still wondering when she closed the window. She didn't see the threshold clearly and almost fell.
Noticing the gaze, he quickly smiled and said before Wenxun could speak: "It's okay, it's okay, I can do it myself."
After leaving the Tian family and seeing that no one followed him, Tian Nongxi breathed a sigh of relief.
She hurriedly finished washing the clothes and did not go home. She put the clothes and the basin in a secluded corner and walked along the road to the county town.
I didn't see Huang and Tian Yaozu when I woke up this morning, and they haven't come back yet.
It would have been fine if it happened at any other time, but it happened when Tian Nong Le was imprisoned.
Tian Nongxi was already feeling uneasy. When he first entered the main house, he glanced at Huang's room. The half-open door could not hide the mess inside the room.
Huang has always been efficient and capable. Even in the days after Tian Niu's death, she cried all day long but it did not affect the orderliness of the house.
Her beloved trunk was still open, and various items were scattered on the couch. She could only vaguely see a medicine bag, but could not see what the rest was.
He was in such a hurry to go out that he took Tian Yaozu with him.
Tian Nongxi's eyes twitched, and he could guess where the two had gone from the roots of his eyelashes.
Fearing that something might have happened to the two of them, she was forced to delay returning to normal life again and again, and had no choice but to come out to look for them.
Before Tian Nongxi had walked two miles, he saw from afar the grandfather and grandson walking slowly towards Tianjia Village.
She breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then she saw that Huang was walking very slowly, taking a break after every two steps, and then she trotted forward to support her.
Only then did the two of them see Tian Nongxi, but they both remained silent.
Tian Nongxi took the initiative to ask: "Where did you go?"
Huang didn't want to say more, she just said, "The county town."
"Oh—" she responded, and noticing the two's dejection, she said no more.
Huang couldn't help herself, she shook off Tian Nongxi's hand and asked, "Do you hate your own brother so much?"
Seeing her granddaughter's surprised face, she pulled the silent grandson over, rolled up his sleeves and handed him to her, then asked with a sullen face, "What medicine did you give him?!"
The wound on Tian Yaozu's exposed forearm had already festered, and the surrounding skin was turned out as if it was dead. The pus was sticky with blood and it was flowing out in wisps, and a pungent fishy smell entered his nose.
He lowered his head and sobbed, "It hurts... I... I'm going to die, wuwu——" Because the pain was so severe, his speech was intermittent and incoherent.
Tears welled up in Huang's eyes, and she held her grandson tightly in her arms, unwilling to let go.
Tian Nongxi wondered, "This is the medicine prescribed by the doctor, what does it have to do with me?" After returning, Huang took charge of cooking the medicine, and she had never even touched the medicine.
"You know what you did, don't you?!" Huang was trembling all over. She stuffed Tian Yaozu's arm back into her wide sleeves and slapped Tian Nongxi in the face.
"Pa--" The slap that was so powerful that it created a gust of wind was blocked by Tian Nongxi with the back of his hand.
Feeling a burning pain on the back of his hand, Tian Nongxi shook his hand away while questioning, "Are you so sure that I harmed him?"
Although she really didn't like Tian Yaozu, she never thought of harming him.
Although it didn't take much effort to find the clinic, it was a very famous one in Ruiyang County, and they had to wait in line for a long time when they went there.
Huang murmured, "I only have one grandson. If anything goes wrong with him, how can I face this old man in my grave?"
Tian Nongxi turned to Tian Yaozu, patted him on the shoulder, and asked softly, "Did you go to the clinic and ask?"
"The doctor said it's difficult to cure, wuwu——"
"Difficult to treat doesn't mean it's incurable, nor does it mean you'll definitely die." Tian Nongxi tried to comfort him, then asked, "Do you remember what the doctor said about the wound? Did he use the wrong medicine?"
"If he says it's good, I'll lose an arm, and if it's bad, I'll die—I, I don't want to die—"
After he finished crying, Tian Nongxi asked again, "Did the doctor tell me why this happened?"
Tian Yaozu finally heard what she said, choked and shook his head, unable to speak clearly, but the doctor wouldn't let him hear.
I overheard that I was dying.
"You heard wrong."
It has long been known that medical conditions in ancient times were limited and any minor illness could be fatal, but it is still too bizarre that a mere ruler injury could kill someone.
Tian Nongxi didn't quite believe it, but in order to comfort the old man and the child who were crying their hearts out, she said firmly, "If you don't cry now, it can still be solved. If you cry again, you might die on the road."
The two of them stopped crying, and Huang looked at them with a look of resentment.
"Did the doctor prescribe any new medicine?"
Tian Yaozu nodded and pointed to the bag Huang was carrying.
Huang was unwilling to show it to Tian Nongxi, so she turned sideways and pulled Tian Yaozu away.
Just as he started, he fell to the ground with a bang.
This was too sudden, and even though Tian Nongxi was very close, she couldn't stop him. Her hand missed, and she quickly bent down to pull the person to the ground.
Mrs. Huang has fainted.
She gritted her teeth and persisted, and finally on the third try she pulled Huang up and carried her on her back.
Fortunately, Mrs. Huang is not tall and is slender.
Tian Nongxi walked for a while and rested for a while, and finally walked back to Tian's house in a disjointed manner.
On the way back, Tian Yaozu said, "My grandma fainted once when she took me to see the doctor."
"I stayed in the clinic for several hours, so we came back so late."
When Tian Nongxi heard this, he was so tired that he was out of breath and couldn't even show a sad expression.
Only after she had put Huang down on the bed did she finally find the bundle among the scattered bits and pieces that had just been brushed aside. She handed it to Tian Yaozu and said, "Open it."
Tian Yaozu did as he was told.
Tian Nongxi instructed him to take out the medicine bag and asked, "Did the doctor prescribe medicine for grandma?"
Tian Yaozu nodded, then shook his head and said, "It's open, but grandma didn't want it."
To save money? Tian Nongxi glanced at Huang, who was sleeping restlessly with her eyes closed. She was not yet sixty years old, and in modern times she could even be considered young among the elderly, but her hair was already full of white.
Even though he had just fainted, the only person he cared about was his only grandson, and he never mentioned his own health.
Tian Nongxi felt a little suffocated.
She picked up a piece of medicine the size of a fingernail, wrapped it in paper, and went out to get some fresh air.
At the door, Wen Xun, who had been kneeling for who knows how long, had a determined expression on his face.
"It's all my fault for not going out with you, young lady. I've failed in my duty, young lady, please punish me!"
Tian Nongxi took two steps back and said unbearably: "Get up, get up!"
"Please punish me, young lady!"
"No, get up." She remembered something and said with relief, "I'll punish you by getting me some clothes."
Not long after, the clothes were obtained, but it was Wen Tingluan who brought them back.
He taught her, "Xiaoxi, don't let men touch your clothes."
"..." Tian Nongxi's eyes were puzzled, and he patiently explained, "It was just the outer clothes I washed, and it was clearly the basin that was hit."
"Can't."
Tian Nongxi muttered, "So what if it's just clothes."
Wen Tingluan, who had been busy hanging clothes for her, turned around with a hurt look in his eyes, "Isn't having me enough for Xiaoxi?"
He was standing close and was tall, and the corners of his clothes blown by the wind would occasionally brush against his lips, but he didn't even try to avoid it.
Tian Nongxi looked at the corner of his clothes and felt that it made no sense.
She pretended not to hear and looked away.
It happened that Tian Yaozu walked out of the main house and looked at her as if he had something to say.
Tian Nongxi walked over, bent down and asked what was wrong.
"The doctor said that this medicine should be decocted twice a day and mixed with charcoal ash before drinking." Tian Yaozu's voice was barely audible.
Charcoal ash is easy to find, but the area around the stove is difficult to sweep clean.
Whether the charcoal ash there is clean or not is not the most important issue.
Because Tian Nongxi originally wanted to go to the county town to find a doctor to see if there was any problem with the medicine, and if there was no problem, then let Tian Yaozu take it.
Thinking of Huang's distrust of her, she was afraid of getting into trouble, so she said, "Okay, I'll boil some water."
"What medicine?"
Noticing her concerns, Wen Tingluan, who had been paying attention to the two of them, suddenly asked.
