An hour later...
Li Xiao'e, who had become Li Xiaoer, sat on the straw pile in a daze.
Uncle Li and Tiedan, an old man and a young boy, also sat opposite Li Xiao'e. They did not dare to make a sound to disturb Li Xiao'e's contemplation. They would secretly glance at Li Xiao'e from time to time, and then look at each other in surprise from time to time.
At this time, Li Xiao'e had already wandered in the void...
Li Xiao'e could not accept the fact that she had traveled through time and became Li Xiaoer.
Although I am an atheist and do not fear God, there is no need to treat myself like this, right?
No matter what, I am a good person and I never do bad things.
At most, I pulled the neighbor's dog's ears a few times, cursed my unscrupulous boss behind his back, and secretly picked up 100 yuan and didn't give it to the police...
Li Xiao'e was overwhelmed with emotions and felt like she had no desire to live.
A long time passed.
"Oh!" Li Xiao'e sighed.
It's like a stone throwing ripples into stagnant water.
"Um, waiter, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first?"
Li Xiao'e raised her head and looked at Tiedan's dark face, which was full of cautious hope. She swallowed the rejection that was about to come out of her mouth and nodded.
Tiedan's eyes suddenly lit up unexpectedly, and he was so excited that he immediately got up from the ground and ran to the kitchen in the backyard.
Uncle Li, standing aside, also smiled with satisfaction and fumbled to add a few more sticks to the fire.
Although it is spring, there is still a bit of a cold snap. Li Xiaoer just had a serious illness, so he still needs to keep warm.
Li Xiao'e watched everything Uncle Li did.
"Here it comes, here it comes, the delicious food is here."
Tiedan had already prepared the food, but Uncle Li's screams were so miserable that Tiedan was so scared that he quickly put the food in the pot to warm it up and rushed into the house.
Now, Tiedan carefully brought a simple bowl made of a bamboo tube, blew on it several times until the food inside was a little cooler, and then handed it to Li Xiao'e.
Before seeing the food, Li Xiao'e smelled it and thought it was quite fragrant.
However, when Li Xiao'e saw the true appearance of the food, he would never touch it.
The green bamboo bowl was mostly filled with light brown water, with a hint of oily sheen. Floating on the surface were green and black, curling things. The green was probably some kind of plant, right? What was the black?
Even the knowledgeable Li Xiao'e did not recognize what was in the bowl. It was completely beyond her understanding.
Li Xiao'e shook her head frantically, waving her hands, determined not to eat, "I'm not hungry."
Just as he finished speaking, his stomach started to growl.
"How about you eat it?"
As soon as Li Xiao'e finished speaking, the old man and the child focused their eyes on Li Xiao'e's shriveled belly at the same time, and suddenly, tears filled their eyes.
Uncle Li: "This is still my waiter who is always thinking about others. He would rather starve than save a mouthful of food."
Tiedan: "You really are worthy of being the boss. You always think about us."
This is such a beautiful misunderstanding.
No matter how thick-skinned Li Xiao'e was, he was too embarrassed to say that he was afraid of food poisoning, so he could only smile awkwardly.
"Gurgle, gurgle..." My stomach protested again.
Drink some water. It can satisfy your hunger, right?
Even if it doesn't work, at least it can fill my stomach temporarily!
Li Xiao'e really had no other choice.
"Go and pour me a glass of water." Li Xiao'e weakly ordered Tiedan.
"Okay. I'll go right away." This was the first sentence the waiter said to me after he woke up. Tiedan's mouth was almost cracked to the back of his head. It seemed that he didn't blame me.
However, Tiedan took a few steps and turned back.
"But we don't have cups, we only have bowls." Tiedan scratched his head and said naively.
Li Xiao'e was petrified instantly. Whose idiot is this? Can he be taken away quickly?
She forgot, and it seemed that she couldn't take this body away, because it was her own home.
"Then go get a bowl of water." Li Xiao'e felt even more powerless in an instant.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
"By the way, remember to pour the hot water from the pot, don't scoop the cold water directly from the tank." Uncle Li who was sitting next to him couldn't help but speak out.
Li Xiao'e felt a little healed instantly and breathed a sigh of relief. At least there was someone with a good brain.
However, Li Xiao'e relaxed too early.
"If the water is too hot, add some cold water. Remember to taste it first to test the temperature." Uncle Li continued to instruct.
"I understand, Grandpa Li," Tiedan agreed seriously.
Li Xiao'e's heart was filled with a thousand running horses. This was the true meaning of "old ginger is the wisest".
"No need to taste it. I just want hot water, I just want hot water, I just want hot water." Li Xiao'e couldn't help but yell at them three times.
Each time he yelled, his voice became louder and louder. After that, Li Xiao'e couldn't help but started coughing violently.
This made Mr. Li next to him very worried, and he quickly went over.
"Pa, pa, pa," Uncle Li slapped Li Xiao'e's back vigorously, "Speak slower, speak slower."
These blows almost broke Li Xiao'e's thin frame.
This old man is really strong and healthy.
…
After a while of struggling, Li Xiao'e was even hungrier. Fortunately, the water Aunt Liu had heated in the pot was warm, just the right temperature to drink.
Li Xiao'e drank three bowls of warm water in a row, and her shriveled stomach began to swell slightly, and her body felt less uncomfortable.
Li Xiao'e fell back onto the straw pile and continued to rest.
Li Xiao'e's originally sallow complexion instantly turned pale after this ordeal.
Tiedan and Uncle Li felt very distressed when seeing this.
"Waiter, you have a good rest. I'm going out with this brat." Uncle Li hurriedly pulled Tiedan out.
"It seems that the waiter doesn't like to eat earthworms." Uncle Li looked worried.
"There are not many fish now." Tiedan frowned.
"He has just recovered from a serious illness, and he needs some nourishment."
"Grandpa Li, let me go to the river and take a look!"
"Be careful, don't take advantage of your swimming ability and do something stupid."
"If that doesn't work, I still have a few copper coins. Let's go buy some..."
…
Tiedan didn't know what he was doing.
Only Uncle Li was left guarding her.
Li Xiao'e was too lazy to pay attention to Grandpa Li. She collapsed on the straw pile, staring at the sky, and continued to be in a daze.
At this time, the sun was setting, and the beautiful sunset dyed the white clouds golden.
How wonderful it would be if those were gold ingots. Li Xiao'e lay on the straw pile, staring blankly at the sky dyed by the sunset glow.
If I had gold ingots, I could go out and eat a feast. I really want to eat roast chicken, braised pork, sweet and sour spare ribs, braised pork elbow...
As he thought about it, Li Xiao'e couldn't help but drool.
"Gurgle, gurgle..." My stomach also started to growl.
I'm so hungry. So hungry. Really hungry.
Li Xiao'e collapsed weakly on the pile of straw.
