Chapter 217: Saving People (I)
After Zhang Xu finished eating the vegetable, egg and shredded pork noodles made by the little girl, he washed the dirty clothes he had changed out of earlier and hung them on the clothesline in the kitchen, then planned to go back to the mountains.
When she saw the little girl coming out of the house, she told her that they were going back to the mountains. She nodded and handed him two black purses.
Zhang Xu took the purse and looked at it, then asked in confusion, "Little girl, why are you giving me two purses?"
"Well...the purse is not important, what's important is what's inside the purse." Lu Xiaoxiao said a little embarrassedly.
Zhang Xu opened a purse and saw an oil-paper bag inside. He took a closer look at the bag and saw the words "antipyretic medicine" written on it. He immediately understood the meaning of the two purses given to him by the little girl, so he put the oil-paper bag back into the purse and said to the little girl very solemnly, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. It's just a piece of cake. Although you are all strong, it's inevitable that you will get sick when training in such weather, so it's better to be prepared."
Although this matter is just a piece of cake for the little girl, this medicine may be a life-saving medicine for those of them who have been walking on the edge of a knife all year round. However, there is no need to tell the little girl these. From now on, he only needs to protect the little girl and make her worry-free for the rest of her life.
After Lu Xiaoxiao sent Zhang Xu away, she returned to the house. She didn't know what to do next. After wandering around the house twice, she suddenly thought of the clothes she had made for the masters at Li's Tailor Shop, so she took them all out from the space.
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the pile of brand new clothes on the kang and suddenly felt that the task was arduous, because the masters and the others were in a situation where they could not wear new clothes. So she had to cut a few holes in all the new clothes and then mend the holes with cloth of different colors. In short, she had to make the clothes as old as possible.
At around five o'clock in the evening, Lu Xiaoxiao saw the pile of colorfully mended clothes on the kang. The corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily. She hoped that the masters would be able to accept the clothes when they saw them. After all, she had tried her best, but there was nothing she could do about the result.
After Lu Xiaoxiao put the clothes into the space, she took out a bowl of seafood noodles from the space warehouse and started eating. She didn't expect that mending clothes was such a physical job. She had been working for an entire afternoon and now she felt like she could eat the same amount of a cow.
Before going to bed at night, Lu Xiaoxiao opened the window and looked at the rain outside. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that the rain was lighter than in the afternoon. She hoped that it would be a sunny day when she woke up tomorrow.
When she woke up the next morning, Lu Xiaoxiao heard bursts of birds chirping outside the house. She put on her clothes and opened the door to the main room. She saw that the rain had stopped. Now the sun was shining on the earth and the sky was clear. It was obvious that today was a good day.
After Lu Xiaoxiao returned to the main room and washed up and had a simple breakfast, she went out and walked towards her second sister's house. It had been raining these few days and she didn't know how her second sister's family was doing. However, her home was located on a relatively high ground, so the flood would definitely not reach her house. She was just worried that her house could not withstand this heavy rain.
"Help...someone come and save my child. When Lu Xiaoxiao was almost at her second sister's house, she suddenly heard someone shouting for help, so she immediately ran in the direction of the voice."
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the river, she saw a woman in her thirties shouting for help into the river. So she looked into the river and saw a boy under twenty years old holding a two or three-year-old child and swimming desperately towards the shore.
Three years new, three years old, three years mending, three years more. People in that era were really frugal.
