"Mother, let me feed you."
Lian'er looked at Jiang's mother's hands that couldn't stop shaking. She pursed her lips and tried hard to suppress the emotions in her heart.
She knew that her mother didn't want her to worry, so even though she was very anxious, Lian'er could not show it in front of her mother.
Jiang's mother had only been sick for three to five days, but in those few short days, the little flesh she had left on her body fell away even faster, and now she was just skin and bones.
Because of the war, not only were the young and strong laborers and men captured, but the food and supplies in the village were also looted.
Although Lian'er is young, she knows in her heart that her mother is still ill. Although she no longer has a high fever, she still has recurrent low fever. There is no way for her to recover by only eating some tasteless wild vegetable soup every day.
Normally, A-niang would give away the remaining food to herself with various excuses, so her body was in a state of severe malnutrition at an early age.
Now, not only did she break her leg, but she was also caught in the heavy rain and had some cold wind entering her body. With her frail body, how could she withstand all this?
If I want my mother to get better as soon as possible, I must find a way to get her to eat something nutritious.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for my mother to get better if she only relied on these dry wild vegetables.
Lian'er frowned slightly, thinking something in her mind.
The situation of every household in the village is similar to hers.
Even if you ask them to borrow money, you won't get anything.
Lian'er really couldn't think of a better way, the only thing she could think of was to take a risk.
During the days when Sister Xiaoxia lived in Guguquan Village, she often went to the back mountain to collect herbs. Lian'er once begged Lixia to go with her.
My sister once said that there were traces of wild beasts coming and going in the back mountain, and she specifically reminded Lian'er not to come to the back mountain alone. If she encountered danger, this place was a certain distance away from the village, and no one would be able to hear her even if she called out.
Lian'er remembered this incident.
She thought, since there were ferocious beasts in the back mountain, there must be small animals as well.
Otherwise, those beasts would have starved to death long ago.
Since those beasts can survive safely when the war is so fierce, they must have made mistakes.
With her small body, Lian'er didn't dare to think about hunting those ferocious beasts.
But if you take the risk and shoot a small animal like a hare, there should be hope.
However, this matter must be done without telling A Niang.
Otherwise, if she knew about it, she would definitely not let me go to the back mountain.
In order to allow A Niang to replenish some nutrition, even if the road ahead is full of swords and seas of fire, she must move forward without hesitation.
She already has no father or brother, so she cannot be without her mother.
Otherwise, I will have nothing left in this world.
"Well, okay." When Jiang's mother heard what Lian'er said, she nodded.
She was afraid that her horrible appearance would scare her daughter.
"Mom, be careful, it's hot." Lian'er gently helped Jiang's mother up from the bed and carefully fed her the hot water in the bowl.
Before feeding the water to A Niang, she took a sip herself. Feeling it was a little hot, she blew on it twice and reminded Jiang Mu to be careful about the heat.
"Mother, drink more so your body can warm up faster and feel warmer."
