Chapter 74 Contrast
Li Lingyuan and Song Shuhan were pushing and shoving each other back to the male educated youth's room. The window facing the door of the female educated youth's room banged and someone pulled it shut from the inside.
The holes in the window paper couldn't cover anything, and soon there was a "swish" sound, and a fog-blue gown was covered.
“Ning Ning, do you want to take a bath together? I just boiled a large pot of hot water for cooking, and mixed some cold water with it for the four of us.”
"No, I'll wash it tomorrow!" Si Ningning declined Xu Shuhua's invitation.
Several people sleeping together in the same room was her bottom line. She couldn't bear to take off her clothes and take a shower.
"Oh well!"
The door to the room was closed, and the three girls in the room took a shower. Si Ningning took a basin of water and sat at the table in the main room. He briefly cleaned the wounds on his palms and washed his face.
Looking around, he planned to take the medicine from the space when no one else was around, but when he turned his head, his eyes met the person standing at the gate.
Si Ningning’s hand shook and he almost left his body.
Fortunately, it’s a good thing that I had more foresight, otherwise I would have been caught on the spot.
"…What's up?"
Si Ningning bit the tip of his tongue gently and pretended to be calm.
Mo Bei glanced at her lightly, his eyes as cold as ever.
But this time was a little different from before. Instead of walking away, he took two steps towards Si Ningning, waved his hand and threw a ball of something in front of Si Ningning.
It is grass tied into small bundles.
There are seven or eight grass leaves in a cluster, but together they are no more than the size of a fingernail, and they are as thin as stars.
The scorer's words echoed in his ears. What else does Si Ningning not understand?
Mo Bei turned around at the door. Si Ningning stood up and said, "Thank you."
Her voice was soft but sincere.
Mo Bei walked slowly, as if hesitating for a moment. After just a moment, he said, "No need." He just didn't want anyone to hold him back and affect the unity of the educated youth.
That’s all.
Mo Bei's figure disappeared at the gate. Si Ningning was slightly startled. When he realized what he was doing, he put his fist to his lips and laughed softly.
It turns out that he is also a person with a cold face and a warm heart...
It doesn’t seem so annoying anymore.
Si Ningning shook out the small bundle of herbs, washed the cut off parts, hesitated for a while, and then stuffed them into his mouth.
The faint bitter taste filled his mouth. Si Ningning frowned and chewed it, then spit it into the palm of his hand and slowly pushed it away.
The dark green scum is filled with residual warmth in the mouth. To be honest, it's a bit disgusting, but the wound really feels cool and comfortable.
It was also her fault that she was not fully prepared. Although there were a lot of medicines prepared in the space, including oral granules, sprays, and patches, the only thing missing was medicine for trauma.
Otherwise, the small hole that broke the skin earlier would have been healed eight hundred years ago.
The meal was prepared early in the morning. Because the three girls were taking a shower, the male educated youths were too embarrassed to come over. Later, when they were asked to eat, they all hurriedly came over and left after serving the dishes.
Si Ningning ate the potatoes that had been steamed in the morning. Xu Shuhua helped her put them in the pot and heated them up. Now that they were steaming, she carefully peeled off the skins and ate them in small bites.
On the one hand, it’s because it’s hot, and on the other hand, it really doesn’t have any taste.
Everyone ate in silence, and the atmosphere in the room was lifeless.
Si Ningning was eating potatoes and casually chatting, "How are you today? You've been pulling out seedlings for a day?"
“No, I probably did it for two hours in the morning, and then I went to help plant the rice seedlings.”
