You can't imagine the happiness of the villain

Mu Ruojiao turned around and didn't see Xu Pei, but saw a little girl struggling to fetch a bucket of water by the well, her thin body was staggering, half of her body was about to fall into the well.

"Be careful!" She couldn't help shouting as she looked terrified. She didn't know how deep the well was, and she didn't know whether such a small child would die if she fell into it.

As soon as the little girl loosened her strength, she almost fell into the well. Fortunately, she let go in time, but she fell out with her strength.

There were no other villagers around, so Mu Ruojiao ran over to help her up and asked, "Are you okay? Why do you let such a young child fetch water? What about your parents?"

The little girl covered her bruised arm and said in a low voice: "My father is gone, and my mother is sick... I am the only one at home."

After hearing what she said, she couldn't bear to say anything else. The well was deeper than she had imagined. Mu Ruojiao helped her bring up a bucket of water. Looking at the little girl's arms thinner than a bamboo pole, she couldn't bear to say: "What's your name? Where is your home? I'll send it back for you."

"My name is Xi'er, and my home is there." The little girl stretched out her finger nonuo.

It was a room that felt more bleak than the other yards.

Let’s say it’s a yard. In fact, the villagers basically build a wall between their own house and other people’s houses, and then use a fence to surround the door. The yard is the yard of a family with better conditions.

Xi'er's house is the complete opposite. The yards are all the same, but it feels deserted and unpopular. Even the door looks a little dilapidated than other houses.

Xi'er invited her into the yard, and a few chickens raised at home ran out. Mu Ruojiao yelled, and Xi'er drove the chickens back to the chicken coop with all hands and feet.

"These are the most valuable chickens in our family. If the hens hadn't been able to lay eggs, they would have been sold long ago."

Mu Ruojiao didn't know how to answer the conversation, so she put the bucket at the door and asked her what else to do.

"Sister, leave it alone, I'll do it." Xi'er ran over, took a bowl, scooped a large bowl of water from the bucket, and wanted to put it into the pot to boil water for her mother to drink medicine.

What are you going to scoop up this bowl of bowls?

Mu Ruojiao simply helped her lift the bucket to the kitchen, poured half of it into the pot, watched the little girl skillfully light the fire, and squatted there earnestly fanning the fire.

"Where's your aunt?"

"Aniang is sick, resting at home." The little girl's expression darkened when she mentioned Aniang, with a very sad expression.

"After my father left, my mother became ill. She kept coughing and didn't get better. I didn't have money to buy medicine, so I had to find some folk remedies."

"Xi'er, are there any guests?" The weak voice of the woman in the back room came out, accompanied by a few coughs.

Xi'er hurried in, helped the woman sit up and put a pillow on her back, "Mother, are you awake?"

Mu Ruojiao walked in behind her. A scrawny woman was lying on the bed, as if she was struggling to breathe, but just sitting up she had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, and she looked like she was about to die at any moment. look.

"lady."

The woman smiled weakly at her, but she was too thin, her face was almost sunken, and her smile was not only ugly but also a little scary.

The woman knew that Mu Ruojiao was not from the village when she saw Mu Ruojiao's brand new clothes. She reluctantly said, "I made Miss laugh, ahem—"

Xi'er anxiously patted A Niang on the back, trying to relieve her cough, "A Niang, I'll get you some water, don't talk too much."

The woman patted her daughter's head affectionately, and Mu Ruojiao backed out, thinking that when she came out, she brought some medicine for Xu Pei, wondering if there was anything suitable.

When Mu Ruojiao went back, she quickly found a few small porcelain pots of Qiuli ointment in her belongings. It was very effective in relieving cough, reducing phlegm and nourishing the lungs, but she only had Qiuli ointment in her bag. For the treatment of bruises, I don't know if the guards have other medicines, but I don't know where they went at this time.

She searched for a long time to make sure this was the only one, so she took a small porcelain bottle and went back to Xi'er's house. When she left, Ruan Xianbei who was lying on the bed opened his eyes.

Ruan Xianbei got up and went out with her, watching her enter the yard next to Apple's house, she also followed, turning in from the back wall to listen to the conversation in the house.

"Xi'er, I brought the autumn pear paste, is the water boiled?"

"It's boiled, sister, what kind of medicine is this? Is it expensive?"

"This is not a medicine, but it can relieve cough and reduce phlegm. It doesn't cost money. There are many pear trees in my sister's house. This is made by Qiuli."

"Pear trees? We also have a lot of pear trees in our village. Can pears relieve cough?"

"Ah... this needs to be processed, and I don't know how to do it. But this small bottle is for you, and you can use pear boiled water instead."

"No, I can't take such a valuable thing, A Niang said I can't—"

"Hold it, is your mother's life important or something else? You can also drink a little, it's good for your health, if you get sick, who will take care of your mother?"

Xi'er stopped talking, and there was a small sobbing sound from inside.

Ruan Xianbei left after hearing this, and flew back to sleep a few times. It seems that apart from being very hostile to them, this eldest lady still has a little conscience.

It turned out that the medicine that Xi'er mentioned was picked from the mountains. The old man said that this herb could relieve cough, so she picked it and tried it for herself first, and then smashed it for her mother if it didn't die.

Mu Ruojiao's eyes turned sore and she turned her head away. She accompanied Xi'er to make a bowl of autumn pear water for Xi'er's mother. At Mu Ruojiao's request, Xi'er drank a few sips herself, and said that she would never do it again. If you are willing to drink, I will leave it to my mother.

"Qiuli ointment is cold in nature, so you can't take too much. Your mother is weak, so it's just right for you to share a bowl. You can drink it once a week in the future."

"Thank you sister."

When they entered the room, Xi'erniang was covering her mouth with a handkerchief, holding back her cough, until her face turned red, Xi'er turned around, wiped away her tears and called out to Auntie with a smile.

Xierniang put away the handkerchief, wiped her mouth, and smiled at Xier again.

"Mother, this is the autumn pear ointment that my sister specially brought to me. She said that it is very effective in relieving coughs. Mother, you should try it." Xi'er pretended not to see anything, and took a bowl and fed it to my mother one bite at a time. After drinking more than half a bowl, he waved his hand to indicate that he couldn't drink any more.

Xi'er coaxed her mother to drink a few more sips before giving up. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, or if they hadn't even used the most common medicine, a look of surprise gradually appeared on Xi'er's mother's face.

"Xi'er, mother feels much more comfortable." Xi'er's mother said, the autumn pear ointment entered her throat, it was warm and moist with a hint of sweetness, and her heart and stomach were so warm.

It really stopped coughing. You must know that this cough lasted for almost two months. Xi'er's mother coughed so much that she couldn't eat or sleep.

"Thank you girl."

Xi'erniang sat on the bed and bowed to Mu Ruojiao, and Xi'er knelt down and kowtowed three times, "Thank you for saving my life! Thank you for saving my life!"

It was the first time that Mu Ruojiao was so grateful, she was at a loss, she quickly helped the two of them up and said, "It's good to be able to help, Madam, I don't know if it's right or wrong for such a great gift. Xi'er said to return you If I haven’t eaten, I’ll be leaving first.”

Xi'er's family can be said to be a desolate family, and there is nothing to keep them, so they can only send Mu Ruojiao out with thanks again and again.

"Sister, will you still come to see me?" Xi'er asked her with some embarrassment while grabbing her clothes.

"Of course, I'll come back tomorrow."

Before leaving, Mu Ruojiao gave Xi'er a piece of candy, the candy wrapper was colorful and very pretty.

On the way back, Mu Ruojiao saw Xu Pei in the field, and felt happy that she had helped someone, so she ran to look for him.

Here, when Ruan Xianbei woke up from sleep, the sun was about to set. She felt that there was no one around her. She didn't know when Cheng Suisui had woken up. It seemed that she had slept really well. Shen.

Ruan Xianbei was sitting on the steps of the door, watching the villagers collect their labor in the fields in twos and threes, and return home to close the doors and windows before the last ray of sunset in the sky was covered.

Although the atmosphere for their arrival is much better today, some people have doubts about them.

Just like some people passing by her will smile kindly at her, some people will look at her with probing and curious eyes, and some people will be indifferent and hostile.

"Why are you sitting here?" The man asked her with a laughing voice.

It's Xu Pei.

Oh, it seems that the biggest hostile look came from Miss Mu.

Mu Ruojiao bumped into her when she entered the door and passed by her, hurriedly took something out and bumped into her again, and walked into the courtyard next door.

Men are so annoying, they always make women hostile to women.

Now that Ruan Xianbei sees Xu Pei, his own reaction is getting weaker and weaker, just like desensitization training, this time he is so close that he has goosebumps.

Xu Pei didn't leave, as if he was waiting for her to reply.

She tried to suppress her physical reaction, touched the back of her hand and said, "Woke up, in a daze."

Xu Pei let out an oh, and then stood two steps away from her and chatted with her, "Miss Ruan seems to have known me a long time ago?"

Still not leaving?Ruan Xianbei glanced at him, wondering why he said this, was he trying to test if she recognized the man in black?

"Have we met before except Budokai?" she asked rhetorically.

Xu Pei smiled, "Probably not—I was just wondering if I accidentally offended Miss Ruan before I came down."

Ruan Xianbei frowned and looked at him, not understanding what he meant.

Xu Pei chuckled lightly and said, "Hehe, because Miss Ruan doesn't seem to be very friendly to me."

"Really?" Ruan Xianbei didn't completely deny it, "I have a bad face on people I don't know well."

"Will it get better when you get acquainted?"

"Not necessarily, it depends on my mood."

Xu Pei also didn't expect her to admit it so directly, he was taken aback, but smiled happily.

Ruan Xianbei felt that this person might be really sick, so she stood up and stopped talking to him, gave way to the door, and walked outside by herself.

Bear with it, bear with it, he will die sooner or later anyway, don't let him find out.

Ruan Xianbei hypnotized himself, facing the sunset, he walked towards Cheng Suisui and the others who were walking back from the other side of the road.
