Chapter 71 There was light in his eyes, but it was flickering
. Hui Niang had put a lot of effort into making egg soup, mushroom stewed with winter bamboo shoots, and vegetarian roasted radish.
The food was rich in aroma.
Since Wei Zhao was not allowed to go out, the food was brought into the house.
She kept adding more dishes to Yu Tingwan.
The bowls in Yu Tingwan's hands soon piled up into a small mountain. She buried her head in the food and ate it very happily, never wasting food.
Hui Niang smiled and served Yue Shan more.
In the past few years following Peng the Hunter, Yue Shan rarely had a proper meal. Peng the Hunter was willing to cook for him, but the conditions in the deep mountains did not allow it, and he did not have the cooking skills.
The roasted meat was all burnt, but Yue Shan did not mind.
At first, after divorcing his vicious second wife, Peng the Hunter would take his son with him wherever he went. He persisted for a year of eating and sleeping in the open air, and his son became dark and thin because of him. He also had diarrhea countless times because of drinking raw water.
How could a father not feel distressed.
He thought about seeing if there was anyone in the village who was willing to help take care of Yue Shan. He was willing to provide food and would also take out a sum of money every month as labor fee.
If it was convenient, Hunter Peng wanted to give it to Hui Niang.
But at that time, Hui Niang and Wei Shouzhong had not moved out of the Wei family's old house. The couple were treated like cattle, how could they spare the time? Even if they could, he was worried about the presence of the shrew Wei Lao Tai
. Hunter Peng went to the neighbors.
The family next door also had a child named Da Wang, who was the same age as Yue Shan and could play together.
The children in the village were all raised roughly, and they just needed a place to sleep and enough food.
They responded quickly.
Hunter Peng was still a little worried at first, but every time he came back from the mountains, he saw that Yue Shan's face had red color and was more cheerful than before, and he was sincerely happy.
For this reason, he often sent pheasants and rabbits to the neighbors to show his gratitude.
This lasted for two years, and the appetite of that family was raised.
When he hunted a bear and it was dying, he was blinded by money and said that he had to share half of the bear meat with them.
Hunter Peng was generous but not stupid, so he didn't agree.
Yue Shan's treatment was also worse.
Hunter Peng was treated in the clinic for two months. When he returned, he held his son whom he hadn't seen for a long time in his arms and found that he had lost weight.
He didn't think much about it at first, thinking that Yue Shan was scared because he lost too much blood when he went down the mountain that day, and the child was worried about him during this period.
But Yue Shan lay on his back and said very softly.
"Dad, you can take me with you in the future. I will be obedient. I will be a powerful hunter who can fight bears like dad in the future."
"They are not good at all. They are thinking about our family's money and my food."
"They ate the rice that dad gave them to Da Wang, and said that dad was going to die and no one wanted me. They told me not to stay at their house, and they were doing good deeds by giving me a mouthful of leftovers."
It was also from that time that Hunter Peng suddenly realized that no one would take care of Yue Shan more than he did.
Under the interests, human nature cannot stand the test.
But Shouzhong and his wife were different. Before taking Yueshan to the Wei family, he gave them instructions.
"If it weren't for them, you wouldn't be here today. Remember to help with the work when you get there, but don't be reserved. No one will treat you unfairly, and you don't have to look at anyone's face like before. Eat the food you are given. Your aunt Hui will be relieved after seeing it."
Yueshan didn't believe it.
But on the first day he came, Yu Tingwan gave him the fragrant and sweet Laba porridge. Aunt Hui's cooking was especially delicious, and she was always worried that he wouldn't be full.
He smiled at Hui Niang: "Thank you, aunt."
Then he buried his head in eating like Yu Tingwan.
Hui Niang looked at Yu Tingwan and then at Yueshan, and was very satisfied. In a few years, when Wanniang and Alang have a child, it must be like this now.
She looked at the future father of the child.
Hui Niang frowned: "Alang, why didn't you eat a bite."
In the past, he would numbly stuff a few bites into his mouth just to show his appreciation!
Wei Zhao lowered his eyes, holding a spoon in his hand, unlike his usual daze.
The girl's words were like a sharp sword, stabbing into his heart. It didn't hurt, nor did it bleed, but it seemed to clear away the clouds.
There seemed to be light in his eyes, but it flickered.
He shouldn't take those careless and arrogant words seriously.
Why was he led by Yu Tingwan again?
His life was cheap, so he could die.
But if he died, the humiliation of Shunguo Mansion and the tragic death of his father would never be redressed.
Can he...can he?
"A Lang."
Hui Niang called him again.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Hui Niang had a headache.
Yu Tingwan said softly: "It's okay for your husband to eat later. Now he has a poor appetite. Otherwise, after eating, he won't be able to eat the ginseng and medicine later."
When Hui Niang heard this, she thought it made sense. She
would warm up the porridge later, and A Lang could eat it whenever he wanted.
After she came back from washing clothes, she ran to ask old man Qian how to eat ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, and Polygonum multiflorum, for fear that A Lang's body was too weak and he would take too much supplements.
Old man Qian glanced at her at the time and thought that Hui Niang was quite interesting.
What, do you really think that there are treasures everywhere in the deep mountains, and your man can pack them up in a sack after a trip?
Don't you know how rare these are!
The quality is not good, and the clinic will pay a high price to buy them.
Those hunters are not fools, why would they risk hunting wild game? They can get rich by selling medicinal materials directly.
However, he didn't want to say discouraging words.
People should still have hope.
Old man Qian did not hide anything and told her everything in detail.
The family had dinner, and Hui Niang began to clear the table.
Yu Tingwan went to the kitchen.
The ginseng was cut into a small piece and was being fried in the pot. Some other medicinal herbs were also put in it. When the water was almost boiled, the juice would be taken.
She poured it out and went back to the room.
Wei Zhao still maintained the previous posture, motionless.
Yu Tingwan looked at it strangely.
In the past, he should have lay down and pretended to be dead.
No, there is still a difference.
Wei Zhao was taking her pulse.
Ever since Wei Zhao accurately described her symptoms last time, Yu Tingwan guessed that he might have some skills, but not much.
Just half-baked. After all,
Wei Zhao said he couldn't treat it.
Or maybe he just said it casually, and it just happened that a blind cat met a dead mouse.
Country girls don't eat well, do a lot of work, and touch cold water all year round. Six out of ten will have pain during their menstruation.
Yu Tingwan knew that after these people got married and had children, and took good care of the confinement period, the situation would probably be better.
She walked over and asked casually, "How many days can they live?"
Wei Zhao said indifferently, "Five days."
Yu Tingwan didn't believe it.
But she leaned over to coax him, "If you drink the medicine, maybe you can live to be a hundred years old."
Wei Zhao was silent
for a while. Just when Yu Tingwan was about to pour it directly into his mouth, Wei Zhao moved.
He took it and drank it directly.
No hesitation, no tricks.
It was a rare cooperation!
Yu Tingwan was stunned and stuttered when she spoke: "You...you can always be like you just now..."
Wei Zhao: "I don't know."
He raised his eyes and met the girl's astonished eyes.
"Let me think about it."
He had to think about it carefully.
At least, nothing can happen before he figures it out.
