Chapter 43043 Chu Song pricked up his ears
There is no early rise without profit, and there must be a reason for being greedy at night.
Lu Minglin had seen Chu Song's sweet words before. When she was sweet, she could kill people. Everyone in the Chu family was completely obedient to her.
At the same time, Chu Song's sweet talk depends on the person and the occasion. She will never waste a glance on anything that is not good for her.
Lu Minglin thought quietly that if he didn't have canned meat on him, he would probably be the person who "wasn't worth wasting even a glance at".
For example, at this moment, Chu Song could not see her "Brother Lu" at all. Her eyes were all glued to Fang Qingrong and the prey on the ground.
As for other things, he didn't think much about it. He just thought that Chu Song liked game, so he looked at Fang Qingrong differently.
Chu Song took small steps, not caring about the blood, and looked around at the dead prey.
She had a conflicted expression on her face: "Can we eat weasels...?"
There is no such thing as protecting wild animals these days. Hares and pheasants are already the upper limit of what Chu Song can accept. As for weasels... Sorry!
Chu Yaoguo: "..."
Fang Qingrong explained: "Weasels are not meant to be eaten, but their meat can be used as medicine."
Chu Song nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s okay if you can’t eat it.
She is a person who can't bring herself to eat, but feels uncomfortable when she sees others eating.
On the second day, the hunting harvest was even greater than the first day, and everyone was very happy.
In Chu Yaoguo's words, everyone was as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Even the educated youth had changed from their "spoiled" appearance of yesterday and became brave and fierce.
However, they were all small prey, and the wild boar that Chu Song was thinking about was not there.
The same thing happened in the following days, and most of the prey they hunted were pheasants and rabbits. Until the last day, Chu Song was eating at home when Chai Xueqi hurried back from outside.
She ran out of breath. When she entered the room, she gulped down a large bowl of water. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she said, "This is incredible!"
Chu Song pricked up his ears quietly.
Ye Xiuzhi asked calmly, "What's going on? You look so anxious."
"When I came back just now, I saw Aunt Li running towards the village entrance. She looked quite anxious, so I asked her where she was going. Guess what happened?"
"What is it?"
"I only found out after asking. Didn't Chu Hang and the others go hunting in the mountains today? One of the educated youth in the team was injured! It's the one who came to our house for dinner a while ago, Lu Zhiqing! I heard he was bitten by a bear. Ouch, so scary!"
Ye Xiuzhi frowned. This was a bear encounter. This had happened before. A black bear in the mountains attacked villagers. Fortunately, they were just bitten and should not be in danger of life, but it was still painful. Alas... She was about to speak when she heard Chu Song scream.
"Ah?" Chu Song's expression was exaggerated. "Lu Minglin was eaten by a bear?!"
Chai Xueqi choked. Although what she said was not wrong, it sounded awkward.
"Yes, it seems he was injured, but I don't know the details yet. Aunt Li didn't say."
After hearing this, Chu Song silently quickened the pace of shaving her rice. She had to join in this kind of fun!
"I'll go check out the village entrance after I finish eating."
Chai Xueqi said, "You go ahead, I'll eat first."
"Slow down. No one will care if you choke." Seeing her stuffing food into her mouth, Ye Xiuzhi couldn't help but speak. Then she muttered to herself, "Is she being so anxious? Is she caring too much?"
Chu Song finished his meal, patted his chest, and then said, "It's too late. What if they transfer him to the city hospital? He's so slow that he can't even eat until the food is hot."
Ye Xiuzhi suddenly couldn't eat anymore. Although the words were rough but the truth was there, it was too rough. She was still eating.
Chu Song put down the bowl and didn't rush out. Instead, he started rummaging through the cabinets in the house.
Ye Xiuzhi asked, "What are you looking for? Even though you're visiting a patient, it's not too late to deliver the item later. It would be troublesome if you delivered it now, and it would be difficult to carry."
"No." Chu Song shook his head. "Mom, where did you put the melon seeds you didn't finish eating? I'll put some in my pocket."
Watching the fun without melon seeds always feels like something is missing.
Ye Xiuzhi: “…”
Her expression suddenly turned ferocious, and she said in a rough voice, "Get out."
Chu Song: “?”
What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so fierce?
Chu Song didn't get to eat the melon seeds and was kicked out in disgrace. When she reached the village clinic, a group of people had already gathered at the door to join in the fun.
She saw Chu Hang standing at the door and said, "Brother!"
Chu Hang: "Xianxian, why are you here?"
"I'll come... I'll come to check on you. Are you okay? Is it serious?"
"The injuries are on my arms and back. Luckily, no bones were broken, otherwise my second brother would be so guilty."
"Second brother?"
Chu Hang nodded, his expression heavy. “Originally, the black bear was heading for my second brother, but Lu Zhiqing pushed the man aside and helped him block it.”
"I'm going to see Brother Lu."
"Hey." Chu Hang stopped her, "Lu Zhiqing is still treating his wound, and my second brother is bandaging him."
Chu Song blinked, so?
"Lu Zhiqing...is injured on his back and has taken off his clothes. It's not appropriate for you to go in."
"Oh, then I'll wait outside." Chu Song understood and nodded obediently.
Lu Minglin is still a virgin and it is not convenient for him to be seen naked by the opposite sex.
The two didn't have to wait long before Lu Minglin came out after bandaging his wound. His face looked visibly haggard, and his lips were slightly pale.
Chu Heng followed him, full of guilt and gratitude, "Brother Lu, why don't we go to the hospital? I'll call a taxi now."
Lu Minglin: "It's okay, just a minor skin injury. Didn't you say there were no broken bones?"
"But……"
"I'm really fine. I'll be fine in a few days."
Chu Song coughed twice and pretended to be concerned, "Brother Lu, are you really okay? I see you've lost a lot of blood."
Lu Minglin stared at her, his dark and deep eyes showing seriousness, as dark as a deep pool. He did not retract his gaze until Chu Hang and Chu Heng noticed something was wrong, and then he spoke in a calm tone.
"I'm fine."
Chu Song: “…”
Honestly, he doesn't look alright.
Chu Heng felt guilty and didn't think much about it for a while. Instead, he was already married and even had a daughter. Chu Hang frowned slightly, and there was more contemplation in his eyes.
Chu Song rubbed her hands together, and her mind raced as she came up with her own little plan. She earnestly invited, "Brother Lu, come to our house for dinner tonight? If it weren't for you, it would have been my second brother who got hurt. I have to thank you very much."
Chu Heng nodded. If it weren’t for Brother Lu, not only would he be injured, but his injury would be even more serious!
"Second brother, go buy some chicken, duck, fish and meat later. We need to nourish Brother Lu."
"good!"
Chu Song and Chu Heng chatted with each other and arranged everything in an orderly manner, and the opinion of Lu Minglin, the person involved, became unimportant.
Lu Minglin wanted to refuse, but he had no choice but to compromise as he couldn't win over three people.
In fact, even if he refused now, he would not be able to escape this meal later based on his understanding of Ye Xiuzhi's "repaying a favor".
As expected, after hearing the whole story, Ye Xiuzhi's eyes changed when she looked at Lu Minglin. What Chu Heng described was so dangerous that it made her heart tremble.
"Xiao Lu, you are really... Auntie doesn't know how to thank you. If you have anything to say in the future, please don't be polite to me. Just ask, just treat it as your own home!"
Lu Minglin smiled: "Aunt, you are too polite. I have always seen how you and Uncle Chu treat me."
The more he said this, the more upset Ye Xiuzhi felt. She turned around and saw Chu Song slumped in the chair, cracking melon seeds with his legs crossed. He threw the shells around after cracking them. His hands were itching to hit the goose on the head.
Seeing this leisurely look of death, Ye Xiuzhi felt a surge of anger in her heart.
"You have no manners at all. You don't even know how to sit properly. Hurry up and make Xiao Lu a cup of brown sugar water."
Chu Song kept cursing and was scolded even when he was just sitting there.
She didn't dare to glare at Ye Xiuzhi, so she took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and picked on the weak ones, glaring at Lu Minglin fiercely.
Lu Minglin: “…”
In the 1970s, everything was a rare commodity, including brown sugar. Ye Xiuzhi was very stingy and kept a close eye on the brown sugar at home. No one was allowed to touch it. Chu Song made a cup of brown sugar for Lu Minglin and also took the initiative to make a cup for himself.
She brought out two cups of brown sugar water. Ye Xiuzhi glanced at her and was too lazy to scold her.
"Mom, do you want to drink?" Chu Song asked hypocritically.
Ye Xiuzhi deliberately said, "Drink."
Chu Song's face suddenly turned bitter, and he held the cup with grievance.
Ye Xiuzhi forced herself to comfort herself, saying that although she had always behaved like this, she was at least obedient and would not disobey her, and was far from being an "unfilial daughter".
She waved her hand: "Okay, I don't like sweet drinks like this, you drink it yourself."
"Thank you, mother. You are so kind. You love me the most and are the kindest mother in the world."
Ye Xiuzhi: “…” Nothing to say.
I just feel tired.
Chu Song used to be picky about various milk tea drinks, but now he is happy to drink a simple cup of brown sugar water.
Ye Xiuzhi was busy in the kitchen to take good care of the injured. Daddy Chu Hang was coaxing his daughter in the house, and Chu Heng had gone out to buy fish. So for a while, only Lu Minglin and Chu Song were left in the yard staring at each other.
Chu Song: "Have you taken anesthetic for your injury?"
Lu Minglin shook his head. There was no such thing as anesthetic in the countryside. After disinfecting him, he applied homemade gold medicine and bandaged him. That was it.
"Hiss, that doesn't hurt anymore."
Lu Minglin was amused by her tone, and the burning pain in the wound seemed to ease a little. However, he was a man, so no matter how much pain he was in, he would not show it, especially in front of Chu Song. He said calmly, "It's okay."
Pack.
Chu Song thought to himself, he looked like a pretty boy originally, and now his face is even paler, it would be strange if it doesn't hurt.
"Well, remember to change the dressing on time. If the wound worsens, you still have to go to the hospital. Although you are young, your body is the capital of revolution. Even the best foundation... Wait, why are you smiling so lasciviously?"
Lu Minglin's smile froze and his face was burning. What did she say? Obscene, obscene?
Chu Song nodded seriously, "If you don't believe me, I'll bring you a mirror so you can look at it."
After she finished speaking, she was about to get up to get a mirror, but Lu Minglin, having no shame in doing so, quickly stopped her. He was silent for a moment, then stammered in his defense, "Maybe I just thought of something happy."
"What's the happy news?"
Lu Minglin stopped talking again. No matter how good his eloquence was or how many reasons he had, they all turned into silence at this moment.
He can deceive Chu Song and other people, but he can't deceive himself.
Lu Minglin recalled the time he encountered a black bear in the mountains. The bear had targeted Chu Heng. If he hadn't pushed Chu Heng away, Chu Heng would have been seriously injured or even killed. In that split second, Lu Minglin wasn't thinking about the consequences or his own safety, but that Chu Heng was Chu Song's biological brother.
If something happened to Chu Heng, she would probably be very sad.
