The cool moonlight shines through the only glass tile on the roof and shines right on Luo Xuan's face.
"Whoosh whoosh-"
The second eldest child, Luo Xiaoxin, was anxious and was pouring water into the big wooden bucket.
The old and new liquids alternate, emitting a smoky smell that goes straight to your forehead.
But Luo Xuan still lay motionless on the bed.
Luo Xiaoxin, who had finished enjoying himself, turned around with satisfaction and glanced at Luo Xuan on the bed board inadvertently.
"ah--"
Luo Xiaoxin was so frightened that his pants fell to the ground, and he let out a shrill scream: "Mother! Mother!"
"It's midnight, what's your name?"
From the bedroom on the other side of the hall, Wang's sharp and gnashing teeth came out: "What's wrong, did Luo Xuan hit you? Let me see how I deal with him!"
"No, mother, come here quickly! Come on, mother, come and see, Luo, Luo Xuan... is he dead?"
Luo Xiaoxin was so frightened that his lips trembled and he cried: "Hurry up, mother! I...I'm afraid!"
"ah?"
Wang was obviously taken aback!
The sound of her hurriedly getting out of bed and shuffling her slippers was heard, "Luo Tiezhu! You stupid pig, get up quickly and go over and take a look!"
Later.
"Bah, bah" came the sound of lighting a match.
The matter was urgent, so Luo Tiezhu did not hesitate to use a precious match and quickly lit the oil lamp.
The couple hurriedly put on their clothes and ran straight to another bedroom!
The cold moonlight shone on Luo Xuan's face, making it ugly.
"Luo Xuan! Luo Xuan!"
Luo Tiezhu was in front, holding a kerosene lamp, while Wang shrank and hid behind him.
And Luo Xiaoxin, who was naked, crawled into the mosquito net on the big bed, wrapped himself in a torn quilt, and was so trembling that he didn't dare to show his head again.
"Luo Xuan!"
Luo Tiezhu approached Luo Xuan, leaned over and shouted again.
"I'm...nothing."
Luo Xuan on the bed made a weak voice: "I...this is a hypoglycemia attack..."
"Is everything okay?"
The frightened Mrs. Wang finally regained her composure, stepped out from behind Luo Tiezhu, and patted her chest, "It scared me to death! What dogs call 'rake disease' can really scare people to death."
Wang and Luo Tiezhu, like most rural couples, are illiterate.
I don’t even know what “hypoglycemia” is.
In their opinion, a problem like Luo Xuan's, who always feels weak and limp all over, is called "rich disease": he is too full to be hungry and needs to rest, so he can't be allowed to work.
"mother..."
Luo Xuan, who was breathing extremely short and sweating profusely from his head, used all his strength to call Mrs. Wang "Mother" with difficulty, "I, I need to eat a piece of brown sugar, just... I can recover."
As soon as she heard the word brown sugar, Wang curled her lips in the darkness, then turned around and prepared to leave.
Brown sugar is expensive, and its quantity is as scarce as the meat on Wang's cheeks.
"It's getting late. The captain will arrange for me to rub jute tomorrow. I have to go to bed early, otherwise I won't have the energy to work."
Said.
Mrs. Wang stretched out her hand and pulled Luo Tiezhu, "Let's go, you useless thing. You have to go up the mountain to break stones tomorrow. Why are you standing there? Why don't you go back to bed?!"
When Luo Xuan heard this, Luo Tiezhu seemed to sigh slightly.
"I...I'll switch with you."
Luo Xuan struggled to pick up the necklace from his neck and wanted to pull it off, but he didn't have enough strength.
After trying several times, I still couldn't break the necklace.
This necklace is not valuable. It is made of a thin red woolen wire connected to a brass pendant.
The necklace was the only memorial left to Luo Xuan's former adoptive mother before her death.
Wang has been coveting this pendant for a long time.
"Oh, what are you talking about? How can we be a family and talk to each other like this?"
Wang, who had already reached the door of the room, quickly turned around and walked to Luo Xuan, reaching out to untie the wool around Luo Xuan's neck.
Maybe it was a bit embarrassing to do such a thing in front of Luo Tiezhu.
Wang turned around and yelled at Luo Tiezhu: "Why don't you quickly turn off the lights and go back to sleep? Do you have a lot of kerosene at home?"
When Luo Tiezhu heard this, he blew out the oil lamp in his hand and stood there with his head drooping.
But he didn't go away.
As Mrs. Wang untied the string, she kept mumbling, "Actually, I'm not just coveting this worthless thing. You can go around and find out who I am, Mrs. Wang."
The necklace rope was groped by Wang and became a knot.
"Are you a wooden person?"
Wang turned to face Luo Tiezhu and shouted, "Why don't you come over quickly and help?"
Luo Tiezhu stepped forward slowly. The place was small, so Wang could only get up and get out of the way.
Under the moonlight.
Luo Tiezhu stretched out his hand and began to pretend to untie the rope.
But he quietly opened the pendant first, took out the small photo inside, and gently placed it on Luo Xuan's chest and clothes, and then began to fumble to untie the noose.
After working for a while, the string was finally untied.
Luo Tiezhu stood up and handed the pendant to Wang.
After taking the pendant, Wang eagerly opened the lid of the pendant, and then used the sharp nails on her little finger to dig out the small black and white photo inside the pendant.
I never thought about it, but I missed it.
The photo inside the pendant was taken by Luo Xuan's former adoptive mother in a county photo studio when she was young.
Seeing that the pendant was empty, Wang didn't take it seriously. She just thought that Luo Xuan was being naughty and accidentally lost it.
"Actually, this person is like a weed in the field. After the season, he will die. Why should he leave any traces?"
After putting the pendant away, Wang turned around and returned to her room.
Soon.
Wang then took two thumb-sized pieces of brown sugar and threw them on Luo Xuan's chest, who was having difficulty breathing.
From beginning to end, Wang never said a word.
When Mrs. Wang returned to her room, she could faintly hear her shouting: "Luo Tiezhu, you useless thing, what will I get from marrying you? In a few days, you have to take me to the countryside and take a picture."
Put better-looking photos into this copper lump..."
Luo Tiezhu groaned and faltered a few times, and then there was no sound in the bedroom over there.
Putting the brown sugar into your mouth, a slightly sweet and refreshing mint flavor slowly penetrated Luo Xuan's taste buds, nourishing his thirsty internal organs.
Gradually, Luo Xuan felt that there was energy in his body.
"If I don't change, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this winter."
Lying on the bed, Luo Xuan felt a touch of loneliness and a strong fear of death in his heart.
Ten days ago, I traveled through time.
The body of the original owner, Luo Xuan, was extremely weak due to long-term malnutrition. Like a fence, it was riddled with holes.
Hypoglycemia has become more and more frequent now.
If you don't replenish your body properly, you will just watch your energy being exhausted and running out of gas.
"Mom, I'm afraid!"
The second child, Luo Xiaoxin, could be heard shouting from the mosquito net on the big bed.
The third child, Luo Xiaozhong, also shouted: "Mom, I'm scared too!"
"What are you afraid of?"
Wang yelled back impatiently, "Can a living person be afraid of dirty things? What are you two brothers afraid of!"
"But, mother, I'm just afraid..."
Luo Xiaoxin and Luo Xiaozhong are the two biological sons brought over by Wang after he remarried to Luo Tiezhu.
These two brothers are Wang's favorites.
As soon as the two brothers cried, Mrs. Wang immediately became angry: "Then you two come over and sleep!"
"Mom, oh oh oh, why are you sleeping?"
The second eldest child, Luo Xiaoxin, choked up and said: "There is grass on your bed, mother and father, how can we sleep there if we go there?"
"Then... Luo Xuan!"
Mrs. Wang raised her voice and said to Luo Xuan with a sound like a shovel scraping the bottom of a pot: "You are almost 13 years old and you are the eldest in the family. You have to learn to give in to the younger ones.
You can easily scare your two younger brothers by being like that now. Be good, go out and find a way to make things right, and don't scare your two younger brothers. This is what it's like to be an older brother...ah, be obedient."
Luo Xuan sighed secretly and slowly got up from the bed.
He slept with his clothes on.
There are so many mosquitoes that if you take off your clothes to sleep, the two ounces of blood on your body will not be enough to feed the mosquitoes.
Walking to the main room, Luo Xuan opened the door and walked out.
The night is high and the sky is endless.
The summer night is very hot, but also a little cold...
