After the old woman left, Chu Yunyao went into the hut, found an earthen jar in the corner, lifted the lid, and saw that there was only a bowl of white rice left in it.
Mo Jinyu wiped off the blood on his fingers, and when he heard the movement, he turned and looked at her: "What's wrong?"
Chu Yunyao closed the lid, "There is no rice to eat, are we going to starve?"
There was a faint smile on Mo Jinyu's face, that kind of warm and healing smile seemed to soothe her depressed mood.
Mo Jinyu helped her to go out, and said in a gentle voice: "The rice here will last for two days, I will go to the village to ask for some tonight."
Chu Yunyao looked at the rough and tattered clothes on his body, "You even sold the clothes to others, what else do you plan to exchange for rice?"
Mo Jinyu's face was embarrassed: "That family will marry a wife in a few days, and invited me to help manage the accounts..."
Chu Yunyao: "..."
"When I get rice, I'll follow the people here to catch prey on the mountain, and bring back some wild game for you to eat." Mo Jinyu coughed violently as if choking on saliva, and her face turned pale. Huicai calmed down, and said weakly: "The child in your belly is just in the stage of needing nutrition, and it is not okay to always eat wild vegetables.
Tomorrow I will go to the river to catch some fish and make soup for you. "
Chu Yunyao: "..."
How could she have fallen to this point, letting a weak and sick person do so much for her.
Chu Yunyao pulled Mo Jinyu out of the door: "Go and sit here and watch the pot carefully. I'll go pick some herbs and come back to apply to your wound."
Mo Jinyu picked up the knife on the ground and handed it to Chu Yunyao: "The knife you gave me is so sharp, I can dig wild vegetables, collect firewood, and kill fish all by it."
Chu Yunyao glanced at the dagger, and couldn't help saying: "You don't know how to shoot, I'm for your self-defense."
Mo Jinyu washed the knife in clear water, wiped it clean with a rag, put it away and put it next to his body.
Chu Yunyao came back from picking herbs, crushed them and squeezed out the juice, pasted them on his deep bone-deep wound, wrapped them up with rags, "I'll just let me do things like killing in the future."
For a person like Mo Jinyu who usually detours when he sees ants and is reluctant to step on them to death, killing fish is probably as difficult as heaven for him.
Mo Jinyu was embarrassed: "Am I very useless?"
It's useless until you catch the fish and come back, I can't even process it into fish fillets.
Chu Yunyao shook her head: "Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. I have loved food since I was a child, and I have been cooking by myself since I was very young. Of course, I can handle these ingredients with ease.
You've never done any of these things, and it's normal not to at first. "
After drinking the fish porridge, Chu Yunyao went back to the small hut and lay down.
After waking up from sleep, the sun was setting, only to find that Mo Jinyu had disappeared.
Chu Yunyao was afraid that he would suffer a heart attack somewhere and would never get up again, so she hurried out to look for him in fright, but the peasant woman who came back from the field told her: "Your brother is fishing by the river, and the water in the river is too It’s clear that the fish don’t take the bait at all, we all catch them with nets weaved.”
But Mo Jinyu has no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, so she doesn't know how to weave a net.
When Chu Yunyao arrived at the river, she saw Mo Jinyu sweating profusely from the sun, but there was only a small crucian carp the size of a finger in the wooden barrel. He sat motionless on the stone, staring anxiously at Clear water.
Chu Yunyao stood behind him and stretched out her hand: "Give me the knife."
"Why did you come here?" Mo Jinyu took out a knife from his pocket and handed it to her, "You seem to like fish very much, the fish here are a bit difficult to catch, when it gets darker, you will probably... ..”
Before the words fell, only a "poof" was heard...
