Listening to Liu Er's words, how could the woman not know that this was just an excuse? What child doesn't want to go to the city? She was silent, feeling the weakness of her body, staring blankly at Liu Er who was busying around.
"Let me do it."
She struggled to get up and get out of bed. Seeing this, Liu Er stretched out his hand to stop her and advised her distressedly: "Mom, just lie down. Tell me if you have anything, and I'll do it."
Just the small action of getting up.
The middle-aged woman kept coughing, and it took a while to ease. She hid the hand covering her mouth in the thin quilt.
Although the woman was very fast, Liu Er still caught a glimpse of the faint red bloodstains on the palm of her clenched hand.
Mom's illness has become more serious again!
Liu Er's nose felt sore, and then he tried to hold it back. He pretended that he didn't see anything and said jokingly: "Mom, just lie down. It's not a big deal. You can get better soon if you rest well. I'm still waiting to eat the wild vegetable cakes you made!"
"Liu Er, you have suffered a lot these days!"
"That's right. You are my mother. How can it be hard or not? You raised me with your shit and urine."
"You kid~"
...
After taking the medicine, the woman fell into a deep sleep. Liu Er tiptoed, walked out quietly, and picked up the bamboo basket and hatchet by the door.
"Sorry, Dad, I'm afraid I can't listen to you this time."
Walking along the road of yesterday, the closer to the place where he met Bai Li, the more uneasy Liu Er felt. He was afraid that Bai Li had left that place, and he was also worried that Bai Li was really like what his father said.
Last night, his father pulled him and secretly told him a lot, such as what a monster is.
Monsters eat people and drink blood!
His father's words echoed in Liu Er's mind. When he thought of this, he found that his hands and feet had turned cold without him knowing it.
"Hey, Liu Er, why are you here!"
Brother Bai?
It was Brother Bai's voice.
Liu Er came to his senses and found that he had walked to an empty grassland without knowing it. When he saw what Bai Li was holding, his eyes widened.
Brother Bai is going to cut down a tree?
If the officials saw this, he would be questioned.
Wait, isn't this the place we were at yesterday? Why is it so empty? Where are the trees?
While Liu Er was brainstorming, he did not forget to answer Bai Li's questions.
"Ah, there's not much firewood left at home. Dad went to sell wolf skins, so I came out to collect firewood. I walked near here and thought of coming to take a look."
"Oh, that's it." "
Brother Bai, you must be hungry," Liu Er thought that since Bai Li had been here all the time, he might not have anything to eat. He took out the small piece of wolf meat that he had been reluctant to eat from his bamboo basket and swallowed his saliva: "This is yesterday's wolf meat. For you."
"Ah, thank you."
Although he had just finished eating, seeing Liu Er's sincere eyes, Bai Li was embarrassed to refuse and took it with both hands.
Wow, it's a bit unpalatable. There's no salt.
After Bai Li took a bite, he gave up hope for the taste of this wolf meat.
This wolf meat should be very precious to Liu Er.
Bai Li had no choice but to nibble on it like a hamster after stealing a glance at Liu Er's expectant eyes.
Forget it, it can be eaten.
"By the way, Brother Bai, do you want me to take you out of the forest?" Liu Er asked.
I want to go out too, but I can't!
"No need," Bai Li shook his head and lowered his head to take a bite of wolf meat: "For some reason, I may be around here these days. If you have anything, you can come to me."
