"Mother, mother?" Feng Jiuyan leaned close to Madam Feng and called softly.
Madam Feng opened her eyes, looked at her daughter with clarity, and asked in confusion, "Ayan, what's wrong?"
"Mother, are you itchy and can't sleep?"
"Yes, I haven't taken a shower or washed my hair for so many days. Now I feel like my head weighs ten pounds, and my whole body feels uncomfortable!" As she spoke, Madam Feng began to scratch her head and body again.
It was fine if she didn't mention it, but once she did, she felt uncomfortable all over. Now she felt uncomfortable everywhere and wanted to shave her hair off.
"Mother, come on, let me take you to take a bath." Feng Jiuyan leaned close to Madam Feng's ear and whispered.
Hearing this, Madam Feng's eyes lit up, "Really?" As if she had thought of something, the light in her eyes flashed, and she hesitated and said, "Ah Yan, let's not take a bath. It's a bit troublesome. What's more, it's so late now, it's not safe to take a bath at this time. Forget it, mother can still bear it!"
Feng Jiuyan gave Madam Feng a sly smile, "Mother, this is not a problem. You can just wait for me in the donkey cart."
After saying that, she took a wooden barrel from the sundries area in the carriage, and then walked out of the carriage under Madam Feng's puzzled gaze.
Song Chen and Song Ning, who were sleeping next to the donkey cart, woke up with a startled voice. "Who?" As soon as the brother and sister opened their eyes, they reflexively picked up the thick sticks placed beside them. They were on high alert and looked at the person who came with vigilance.
They thought it was a thief who wanted to steal the donkey cart.
Feng Jiuyan's family is so good to them, they must protect them, even at the cost of their own lives!
Feng Jiuyan shook the wooden barrel in his hand, "It's me, Feng Jiuyan!"
Hearing the familiar voice, the Song Chen brother and sister relaxed at once and breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Ning was a little confused, "Sister Feng, why are you carrying a wooden bucket so late at night instead of sleeping?"
"Oh, my mother hasn't had a bath for a few days, and she's been feeling uncomfortable and can't sleep. So I came down to get her a bucket of water and go back to wash her. This should make her feel better."
"Then I'll go with you. It's late at night, it's not safe for you to go alone, I'll go with you and protect you!" Song Ning patted his chest and said quickly.
Song Chen at the side also spoke up at the right time. He rejected his sister's suggestion without thinking, "No, An Ning, you can't go with you. You two girls are weak and powerless. What will you do if you meet bad guys? I'd better go and fetch the water myself."
Feng Jiuyan, who was powerless, said: "......"
If Feng Qingyun's family heard what Song Chen said, they would definitely be furious.
She was powerless to go there, and the place where Feng Jiuyan was was the most dangerous place. Even ghosts would take a detour when seeing her, let alone humans!
However, Feng Qingyun's family was not here, and they did not hear what Song Chen said. Only the Song brothers and sisters who were worried about Feng Jiuyan being in danger were here.
In their opinion, Feng Jiuyan was very beautiful and was unsafe whether during the day or at night, so they had to protect her.
Song Ning nodded vigorously, "That's a good idea! Let's do it this way? Sister Feng, what do you think? We don't trust you to go to the river to fetch water by yourself."
Facing the concerns of the brother and sister, Feng Jiuyan felt a warm feeling in his heart. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of laughter. "Okay, then let's do as Master Song said. In this case, I would like to trouble Master Song to fetch half a bucket of water for me from the river. It doesn't need to be too full, just half a bucket of water will do."
She originally wanted to go to a deserted place and fill the wooden barrel with water from the space, but seeing that the Song brothers and sisters were so worried about her going to fetch water alone, she decided to let Song Chen do it.
Maybe because the brother and sister can share some of the burden for her, the psychological pressure will be less.
Song Chen pursed his lips and smiled shyly, "Miss Feng, what you said is not true. In the past, Miss Feng and Madam Feng have always taken care of me and my sister. Now I am very excited to be able to help Miss Feng."
Song Ning's eyes sparkled as well, and she smiled and said, "That's right, it's great to be able to help Sister Feng."
After saying that, Song Chen picked up the wooden bucket and walked towards the stream.
The stream was quite far from where they were resting, and a round trip would take at least half a cup of tea.
While waiting for Song Chen to fetch water, Feng Jiuyan and Song Ning sat by the fire to keep warm.
Seeing Song Ning's sleepy appearance, he couldn't even lift his eyelids. "A Ning, go to bed quickly. I'll wait for your brother here."
Song Ning shook her head vigorously, "That won't do. I want to chat with Sister Feng to relieve her boredom."
Feng Jiuyan looked at the little girl with amusement, "Okay. Sister Feng will give you some roasted chestnuts."
When he heard that there was food, Song Ning's sleepiness disappeared immediately.
The food cooked by Sister Feng was the most delicious thing she had ever eaten. Even the roasted chestnuts were definitely better than those roasted by others.
"Aning, it's just roasted chestnuts, why should you be so excited?" Feng Jiuyan looked at the little girl in front of him with a smile.
After she fed her for a while, the girl's complexion became a little rosy and her face had some flesh. It was no longer as dry and skinny as before, without any flesh or complexion.
It seems that the little girl looks even more beautiful.
Song Ning grinned happily, giving Feng Jiuyan extra face and giving her a thumbs up, "Hehe, Sister Feng's roasted chestnuts are also super delicious."
"Little greedy cat." Feng Jiuyan scolded with a smile.
She deftly threw some chestnuts onto the charcoal ash, then used a stick to spread a layer of charcoal ash over the chestnuts, and then spread another layer of charcoal fire over the charcoal ash.
After a while, the unique sweet scent of chestnuts wafted through the air.
Song Ning was so excited that she stared at the charcoal ash and couldn't help swallowing her saliva. "Sister Feng, the chestnuts smell so good."
"Haha, I'll dig it out for you right away." Feng Jiuyan had a smile on his face and used a small wooden stick to dig out the chestnuts buried in the charcoal ash.
Song Ning impatiently picked up a chestnut between her thumb and index finger, "Ah! It's so hot!" Even though the chestnut was very hot, she was reluctant to throw it away. She tossed the chestnut back and forth between her hands.
Feng Jiuyan was somewhat helpless, "Take it easy, don't burn yourself."
"Hehehe, no, Sister Feng, don't worry."
Song Ning smiled foolishly, peeled off a chestnut, and put the chestnut meat to Feng Jiuyan's mouth, "Sister Feng, open your mouth. This one is for you to eat first."
Feng Jiuyan had been struggling in the apocalypse for six years and didn't trust the food in other people's hands. Therefore, he didn't open his mouth for a long time.
"Sister Feng?" Song Ning was puzzled and looked at her with blinking eyes.
Feng Jiuyan gently pushed away Song Ning's hand holding the chestnuts and said with a smile, "A Ning, you can eat it yourself. Sister Feng can peel it yourself."
"Okay!" Song Ning didn't think much about it. He put the chestnut into his mouth and smiled foolishly.
After a while, Song Chen came back with water.
Feng Jiuyan thanked Song Chen and went into the carriage with the water.
