"Bang!"
“Bang, bang!”
The deafening knock on the door downstairs woke Tao Wenwen, who had just fallen asleep.
She sat up suddenly.
The room was dark and she clutched the bed sheet tightly, not knowing what day it was.
"What's wrong?" Gao Yue's voice came from beside him.
Tao Wenwen was stunned for a while before slowly reacting.
This is no longer the world she once lived in!
She let out a breath and loosened her grip on the bed sheet. "It sounds like someone is knocking on the door."
Gao Yue hummed, fumbled to get out of bed, and said, "Come down, I'll take you down."
Tao Wenwen was not used to the darkness, and was slowly led forward by Gao Yue, and only then could he barely find the road and direction.
This kind of thing is too difficult.
She simply couldn't imagine how Gao Yue had persisted until now without any panic or negativity.
For the first time, Tao Wenwen looked at the unidentified Gao Yue differently.
For the first time, she straightened her face and said seriously, "Gao Yue, don't worry, I will definitely do what I said!"
Gao Yue didn't react to what she was saying at first, until Tao Wenwen tripped in the dark and almost fell, and subconsciously grabbed his hand tightly, then he realized that she was talking about his eyes.
He could sense the sincerity in her words.
In the darkness, Gao Yue's lips curled up slightly, "I know, you've said it many times."
"Really?" Tao Wenwen thought to herself, this was clearly the first time in the true sense.
...
The two finally groped their way to the door, and Tao Wenwen was about to open it.
Gao Yue stopped her and said, "Ask who it is first."
The person outside the door heard Gao Yue's voice and said, "It's me, Aniu!"
"It's Brother Niu." Tao Wenwen said as he opened the door.
The rain outside was lighter and there were no more thunder and lightning.
Xu Xiangdong took off his raincoat and put it at the door, then took off his shoes before walking into the house.
He said, "It was raining so hard that I wanted to wait until it was a little lighter before coming here, but it never stopped, so I had no choice but to come here in the rain. These are the herbs I picked this afternoon, and I brought them here to make a drink for the children..."
After talking for so long, the room was still dark. Xu Xiangdong seemed to have just realized what was happening and asked again, "Is there no lamp oil?"
Tao Wenwen felt a little embarrassed and laughed, "...I've run out of it. I don't know where to put the lamp oil..."
Gao Yue thought to himself, he guessed right again.
She really doesn't understand anything.
It was raining and the lamp was useless in the rain. Xu Xiangdong had to walk all the way in the dark without any lighting.
It’s pitch dark here, how should I get the medicine?
For a moment, he was stunned.
Gao Yue said, "Since you want to boil the medicine, let's start a fire first. The fire from the stove should be enough for you."
"Of course!" Xu Xiangdong slapped his thigh. "Look at me, why didn't I think of this? Brother Gao is really smart!"
...
The three of them groped their way into the kitchen again.
Tao Wenwen groped for the matches he had used before, and with a whoosh, he lit them.
After getting used to the darkness, even a little bit of light makes people feel bright.
Taking advantage of the light, Xu Xiangdong rolled a ball of hay, lit it on the match, and then stuffed it into the stove, and soon built a bigger fire.
The firelight made Tao Wenwen feel more at ease. She moved a small wood escape from the side, helped Gao Yue to sit down, and then took the herbs brought by Xu Xiangdong to wash.
Seeing this, Xu Xiangdong hurriedly said, "Wenwen, I've washed."
That was even better. Tao Wenwen skipped a step and asked Xu Xiangdong to boil the water first. He picked and chose the weeds himself and threw away some of them. He thought that since they had been brought in from outside in the rain, it would not be good to put them directly into the pot. So he washed them again with clean water, poured them into the pot and waited for them to be boiled.
It’s actually simple.
Tao Wenwen completed these steps and moved a wooden stool to sit next to Gao Yue.
