Xiao Qiao Flowing Water

The lunch of these two days is shredded chicken porridge. The pheasant is small and has little meat, but fortunately, the meat is tender and fresh. The rest of the water was used to cook a plate of stir-fried vegetables. Even thinking about the taste makes my mouth water.Yesterday I ran out of chicken, so Liu Shui was thinking about what to add to the porridge to enhance the taste. After thinking for a long time, I will go fishing at the lake at the foot of the mountain tomorrow, and use the fish to remove the fishy smell and improve the taste.

In fact, there are also fish in the big pond beside the village stream, but the big pond was dug together by the villagers in the past, and the stream was blocked after the water was diverted. In addition, every household in the village divides the fish according to the head, which is another income that allows the villagers to spend the winter well.On weekdays, if the villagers want to eat fish, they will go to the lake at the foot of the mountain to fish by themselves.

Liu Shui took the hoe and the small bamboo basket on his waist, found a piece of fertile land, opened it, looked for earthworms, caught four or five earthworms and brought them back.Put the bamboo baskets in the yard, go to the big stove in the kitchen and take out the plant ash, shovel some into the yard with a dustpan, put the earthworms into it, mix the earthworms with the plant ash, so that they can be used as bait tomorrow.

The next day, Liu Shui woke up at the right time, washed up, practiced Wuqinxi as before, washed clothes, fed Xiaoqiao with medicinal porridge and soup, and then helped her to lie down and rest.Put the bait into a small bamboo basket, pin it on your waist, and go fishing at the foot of the mountain with the basket and fishing rod in your hand.

I caught two fish in the running water, looked at the sun, when it was almost time, I cleaned up and planned to go back to make medicine porridge.

A few women on the side of the road took stools to choose vegetables on the side of the road and chatted.Seeing the flowing water passing by, one of the women asked, "Where is the flowing water going fishing?"

Liushui stopped when he heard the words, and said: "Well, yes." Liushui hurried back to make medicine porridge, and said, "Sisters-in-law and aunts, I have to go back to make medicine, you can talk."

The women nodded, and seeing the running water go away, one woman said: "Oh, I heard last time that Aunt Wang next door to the running water said that the running water rescued a girl, and I don't know what that girl looks like."

The other continued: "Why don't you know what it looks like, haven't you gone to see it?"

"Aunt Wang went to see her. Liu Shui said that the girl was seriously injured and had to lie down to rest. She still can't get out of bed."

"Then when she gets better, let's go and see what she looks like. She looks good. Maybe she can be Liu Shui's daughter-in-law?"

Everyone laughed when they heard the words.

"That's right, Liu Shui's life is hard, such a good child is destined to be a lone star, ah~"

"Who said it wasn't."

Run the water to the house, clean up the fish, put one of the fish in hot water, add salt and ginger and stew.At the same time, rice is washed and porridge is boiled in a small stove.When the fish is cooked, remove the meat from the belly of the fish without small thorns, remove the big thorns, put it into the medicinal porridge and boil it together, and melt the fish meat into the porridge, and then iron it all over.Put the remaining stewed fish in running water, add green onions, drink it for lunch, fill the stove, braise another fish, and finally wash the rice and cook.

At noon, Liu Shui brought the medicinal porridge into Xiao Qiao's room, and said, "Today, I will eat fish porridge." Then he filled up a bowl of porridge, and babbled about various things while feeding them. After getting along with each other for a few days, the atmosphere during the feeding process was slow. Gradually, the initial embarrassment and unnaturalness disappeared completely.

After taking the medicine porridge and drinking the medicine, and running water to help him lie down, Xiao Qiao clenched his fists as usual, feeling that his hands were not as soft and weak as in those two days. Thinking about it, I can eat and wipe myself tonight.Although Liushui and Xiaoqiao are used to feeding, Liushui still can't calm down when wiping and relieving his hands. Xiaoqiao looks calm on the surface, but he is still shy and uncomfortable in his heart.The medicinal porridge slowly took effect, Xiao Qiao thought about it, felt very sleepy, and fell asleep again.

After running water and eating, I cleaned up and went up the mountain to collect herbs.At dusk, Liushui came into the room carrying the porridge. Liushui was serving the porridge. Xiao Qiao said, "Liushui, my hands have recovered. From now on, I can just eat by myself. I will trouble you these few days."

Hearing the words, Liu Shui paused, felt a little lost for some reason, and then said, "No trouble, I'll take your pulse after you finish taking the medicine." Turning around, he handed the porridge to Xiao Qiao.After eating up, running water cleaned up, and went out to bring in medicine.

After the medicine was exhausted and the running water felt the pulse, he said happily: "This is the first time I met a martial arts practitioner. People who practice martial arts are different. They recover very quickly. After half a month, you will be able to walk. After that, you have to adjust slowly. During this period, you are still Don’t force yourself to perform well.”

"Liu Shui, can you give me pen and paper to practice calligraphy tomorrow, I don't want to sleep all the time."

"Okay, you're recovering well, you don't have to rest all the time, you should get out of bed and get some air. I made you a wheelchair, and tomorrow you can move around at home by yourself in the wheelchair."

"Thank you for your hard work. I have nothing to thank you for being injured this time. When I go back, I will be thanked heavily."

Liu Shui felt a little uncomfortable when she heard the words. She didn't know if it was her saying to go back, or to thank her heavily, and said: "I said before, you don't need to thank me, I am willing to do this. It is the duty of a doctor to save people. You sit down first. I'll go out to fetch water and wash you." Then he packed up and went out with the medicine bowl.

Seeing that she was a little angry, Xiao Qiao frowned, not knowing that those words offended her.After a while, Liushui came in with water again, and habitually reached out his hand to undress him. Seeing this, Xiao Qiao held his hand and said, "Put the water by my bed, and you can do it first. I'll wipe it off by myself." That's fine, you can come in later."

When Liushui heard this, his face turned red, "Well, then I'll put the water here, you can wash it, I'll go eat first." Liushui put the water beside the bed, and left in a hurry.

Seeing this, the corners of Xiao Qiao's mouth curled up, and when the running water came out, she looked at her right hand, feeling a little joy in her heart, but also annoyed at her loss of composure just now.

At Haishi, every household in the village had turned off the lights and went to sleep, and the running water was still rushing to make wheelchairs. I planned to finish the last bit tomorrow, but Xiao Qiao's hands returned to normal today, so I rushed to make them overnight.In the middle of the night, the running water was done, and after washing, I hurriedly took a shower and went to bed to rest.
