"Don't be impatient, Erlang. I just want to say a few words to your aunt today. I'll leave after I've said my words." Feng Zicai gritted his teeth as he looked at Su Erlang's red eyes and white mouth. For Su Hua's sake, it was nothing for him to suffer a little in front of these brats now. Once he became their uncle, he could beat them up however he wanted.
Thinking of this, he immediately raised his hand and waved towards the main house, his voice so gentle it seemed to melt water, "Hua'er, Hua'er, it's me, Zicai, I'm back. Can you come out for a moment? I have something to tell you, something very important..."
"Thud!"
Su Hua looked at the broken piece of charcoal pencil and cursed her bad luck.
"Woof woof woof!!! Woof woof!! Woof!"
"Meow!!! Meow!! Meow!"
The little black dog and the big white dog, who were dozing on the ground, also perked up their ears, frowned, looked outside, and started barking in dissatisfaction.
The white tiger opened its eyelids, its mouth already wide open.
"Don't shout!" Su Hua quickly stopped her. "If you want to shout, you can only do it back in the mountains. Otherwise, you won't get any more crabapples to eat."
The roar of a tiger in the mountains can shake the earth, let alone in this small house. She didn't care whether it frightened Feng Zicai or not, but Su Sui was sleeping in the house. A tiger's roar could probably shake her soul out of her body.
Seeing Su Hua covering her mouth, the big white tiger puffed out its throat, nodded pitifully, and ultimately didn't make a sound.
At that moment, there was a slight movement in the blankets on the bed.
Su Hua turned her head to look and saw that Su Sui's eyebrows twitched slightly, as if she was about to wake up.
Outside, Feng Zicai seemed to have no end in sight. The three siblings, Su Dalang and his sister, couldn't shoo him away with sticks; instead, he became even louder.
"Little Black, Big White, you two go out and have some fun with him! Just leave him alive."
Upon hearing the sound, the two birds, one black and one white, instantly brightened their bored eyes, scratched at the ground, and darted out of the main house door.
Immediately following was the sound of two people climbing over the bamboo fence, one after the other.
Immediately, the man's affected voice stopped and turned into a terrified scream.
"Hua ah ah ah ah ah... Ghost ah ah ah ah ah... Get away! Get away now..."
Su Hua looked at the person who had been tackled to the ground by Xiao Hei and Da Bai, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. The two little ones whimpered all day long, making people almost forget that one of them was a descendant of wolves and the other a descendant of tigers.
"Hua'er, what's going on outside?" Su Sui opened her eyes and heard the sounds of cats and dogs, along with cries that were hard to hear.
"It's nothing serious. Some clueless fellow just wandered in. Little Black and Big White are playing with him." Su Hua shook her head and smiled, poured a cup of tea from the table and fed it to Su Sui. Seeing that her pulse and complexion had improved a lot, her smile deepened. "Sister, wait for me a moment. My sister-in-law made you some blackfish soup at noon and has been keeping it warm on the stove. I'll bring it to you now."
Su Sui had been drinking rice gruel these days, and when she heard about the blackfish soup, her stomach growled. A blush crept onto her pale face. "Trouble... Hua'er."
"What trouble? We're sisters, why would we need to say such things?" Su Hua waved her hand and walked towards the kitchen. Before leaving, she secretly took the big white tiger to its den. It would be better to tell Su Sui about the big white tiger when she felt better.
Su Hua served the blackfish soup and cut a fresh crabapple. After a serious illness, eating some fruit is good for the body.
Su Sui looked at the piece of blackfish that Su Hua was feeding her and wanted to take the spoon away, but said, "Hua'er, I can do it myself."
But as soon as she reached out, Su Hua nimbly dodged her hand. "No, I won't give it to you. When I was little, my older sister fed me porridge and steamed egg custard spoonful by spoonful. Now, it's only right and proper for me to feed my older sister."
After saying that, he raised his chin and gestured towards her trembling hand, "After you recover, I won't stop you from eating whatever you want."
Su Sui looked at the fish soup that was brought to her lips and couldn't bring herself to refuse. That day at Old Wang's house, she saw the blood spreading like a waterfall on the ground and seemed to see a bull-headed demon with fangs walking towards her from the pool of blood. But just as her hands were about to be shackled, Hua'er came and snatched her away from the bull-headed demon little by little.
These days, although her consciousness is somewhat blurred, she can sense that Hua'er is taking care of her every day, wiping her hands, changing her dressings, and feeding her water, as if the little baby she used to carry on her back has grown into her support.
As the warm fish soup entered my mouth, my eyes involuntarily welled up with tears, unsure whether it was from the warmth or the sourness.
Seeing her quietly drinking the soup, Su Hua, afraid she would be bored, started chatting, "This blackfish is not only good for your health, but it also promotes wound healing, tissue regeneration, and blood replenishment. When I was making fish balls earlier, I caught two from the river ahead, each weighing four or five pounds. After we finish these two, I'll go back to the river and catch some more. After you eat eight or nine blackfish, your health will be back to normal."
Su Sui swallowed a piece of blackfish meat and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Hua'er can actually catch fish in the river now."
She recalled that when she was a child, she and her older and younger brothers never caught anything big in the river. Let alone four or five pounds, even one or two pounds was a rare treat.
Su Hua wiped her mouth and fed her a few more pieces of crabapple. "These fish are just like people. They can't help but swim over when they smell something they like. I just happened to find some bait that fish like. As long as we use this bait to create a feeding area, all the fish in the area will come up. In a few days, when you feel better, I'll take you to catch fish."
"Okay, I'll listen to Hua'er." Su Sui smiled gently upon hearing this. Her Hua'er was truly remarkable now, even mastering all the skills that men usually knew.
While chatting, Su Hua fed her apples. The noisy sounds outside gradually subsided. Feng Zicai was nowhere to be seen on the ground. Only half of a torn turban could be seen. Da Bai and Xiao Hei were sunbathing in the courtyard with Su Dalang and the other two.
"Sister, shall I carry you outside to get some sun?"
Su Sui glanced at the sky outside and was about to nod when she saw several villagers walking towards the courtyard. She immediately hid under the covers and said, "No, no need. I'm fine here."
