Sure enough, as soon as Li Tannian opened his trousers, he found that the kneecap of his left leg had been crushed.
In the original book, because there was no one to save him, he finally managed to recover by his own fate, but he still suffered from a limp.
If I could help him cure this leg disease...
Li Tannian was stunned, and gently pinched his kneecap, and a lot of pus immediately flowed out.
The pus exuded a fishy stench and flowed along the man's legs and onto the mattress behind him.
Li Tannian frowned and said without turning his head: "Get a basin of water."
The four little ones were a little confused, but Lu Sanya was the first to react and hurriedly ran outside.
When she fetched hot water, Li Tannian used a handkerchief to scrub the man one by one.
After she scrubbed it back and forth twice, she quietly took out the healing medicine from the space and applied it to him.
The man fell into a severe coma, no matter how much she tried, there was no response.
"Brother, stepmother, do you want to help daddy wipe his body?" Sanya said in a low voice, while Lu Dabao shook his head gloomily.
Today's stepmother is very strange. Not only did she not sell them, but she also helped their father clean up. Could it be that she had other hidden motives and she had a guilty conscience, so she did this to make up for it?
When he thought of the time she coaxed him and his second brother into the woods to feed the wolves in the morning, a trace of cruelty flashed across his dull face.
No matter what this woman has planned, she must die!
Li Tannian helped Lu Zhi clean up, and the aroma of meat could be heard from the stove outside.
She put away the kerchief and walked straight out. The four little ones looked at her blankly and followed her outside step by step.
Seeing Li Tannian lift the lid of the pot and pick out the wolf meat, the four little ones couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"Brother, I'm so hungry." Erbao touched his stomach.
Sanya smacked her mouth and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. Lu Dabao frowned: "Don't move yet. After she finishes eating, let's quietly steal some soup to drink."
As soon as he finished speaking, Little Si Bao had already run towards the stove in a hurry.
Little Sibao couldn't speak yet, and he couldn't even walk very neatly, but under everyone's surprised gazes, he walked straight to Li Tannian's feet.
Li Tannian felt her skirt tighten, and when she lowered her head, she saw Xiao Sibao staring at the wolf meat in her hand with gleaming eyes, and a long stream of hair flowing from her mouth.
Li Tannian was stunned, and suddenly she remembered the difficult scenes of surviving in the apocalypse in the early years. Then she looked back at the three sallow little faces behind her, and she said softly: "Take the bowls and chopsticks to eat."
The four little ones were all stunned. They really didn't expect the stepmother to be so easy to talk to.
Li Tannian didn't say much nonsense. She put the wolf meat in the porcelain basin and was about to walk to the main room when she felt as if something tripped over her feet.
When she lowered her head, she realized that Xiao Sibao was still holding the hem of her skirt tightly.
The small ball was almost knocked to the ground by her, but he was still staring longingly at the clay pot in her hand.
Li Tannian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He glanced at its dark little paws, bent down, and held the little four treasures in his arms.
"Has the stepmother been struck dumb by lightning?" Sanya, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but trembled.
Lu Dabao paused, his expression unchanged: "Go get a bowl, eat something first, and then we'll talk in the evening."
He didn't believe that the woman would give them meat to eat, so they had to drink more broth before the woman repented.
After all, it is a soup with oily star seeds. Drink more and it will always fill your stomach.
So, Li Tannian put down the pottery pot and when he came out to wash his hands with the little four treasures in his arms, he saw three other little pods sitting around the stove drinking soup.
The soup was still steaming with steam. When the three ducks heard the footsteps, they were not afraid of the heat and poured it into their mouths.
"What are you doing?" Li Tannian's face darkened.
The three little cubs stiffened, Erbao's hand was unsteady, and the coarse porcelain bowl filled with a bowl of broth fell to the ground.
Immediately, Erbao cried at the top of his voice.
"Don't hit me. I didn't mean it. Don't hit me."
Lu Dabao and Sanya's faces also turned a little pale.
"Stepmother, my second brother didn't mean it. If you want to hit me, just hit me." Lu Dabao clenched his small hands into fists and knelt on the ground with a 'plop' sound.
Li Tannian felt her head buzzing, and she took a long breath as she looked at those little faces full of snot and tears.
"The broken porcelain pieces are sharp. Be careful if you hurt your feet. Wash your hands and go inside to eat!"
After saying that, she didn't even look at everyone's reaction, and went to wash her hands while holding Xiao Si Bao in her arms.
This woman is not angry?
Lu Dabao raised his eyes and glanced ahead in confusion, then heard the voice of his second brother: "Brother, let's quickly take out these broken porcelain pieces and throw them away."
Lu Dabao came back to his senses, glanced at the broken pieces of porcelain, picked up the sharpest one and hid it.
The small half of the mutton weighed one to twenty kilograms. Although there was no seasoning, the fragrant aroma of the meat was enough to make people salivate.
As soon as Li Tannian put Xiao Si Bao on the stool, Xiao Si Bao reached out and grabbed a large pot of wolf meat in front of him.
Li Tannian didn't expect that he had such great strength. He was shocked for a moment and quickly stretched out his hand to grab the body of the jar.
"What?"
Little Si Bao still looked a little frightened. He quickly picked off a piece of wolf leg meat and put it into his mouth.
Li Tannian watched him wolfing down the food, and was silent for a few moments. Then he glanced at the three stunned little ones beside him, and finally said: "Let's all sit down and eat."
The three little ones looked at each other in disbelief.
The stepmother actually asked them to sit down and eat! In the past, she would not even give them half a bun!
"Let's eat first before we talk!" Lu Dabao said solemnly, taking the lead to walk towards Li Tannian.
Erbao and Sanya saw this and hurriedly followed.
As soon as the three little ones arrived on the table, they rushed to tear into the pot of wolf meat. In that way, they were no better than the little four treasures.
Li Tannian silently glanced at everyone, then lowered his head and started eating.
After the meal, she led a few little cubs to clean the house.
Since you have decided to stay temporarily, you must improve your living environment.
The Lu family has three rooms in total. The east room is where Lu Zhi and his four children sleep, the middle room is the main room, and the west room is where the original owner lived temporarily after he got married.
When Li Tannian entered the west room, he was greeted by a strong, dark and damp smell. What he saw was a mess, and the beams were covered with cobwebs.
Li Tannian looked around and realized that the room was empty. Except for a wooden bed made of wooden boards and firewood, there was only a box cage made of locust wood.
The box cage was brought by the original owner from her natal family.
She obviously didn't plan to stay at the Lu family for too long. This box and cage looked just like they did when they arrived, and they looked like they were now, as if they could be moved at any time for convenience.
Remembering that after Lu Zhi got married to the original owner, he would hand over the money to her on time every month, she hurriedly went to dig through the wooden box.
Well, there is nothing inside except a few old and not new clothes!
Needless to say, she also knew that the money must have been sent to the Lin family by the original owner without leaving a penny!
Li Tan took a deep breath, resigned himself to his fate, found a bamboo pole, and began to tie up the spider web.
The four little cubs also brought brooms, handkerchiefs and other tools to help her clean.
By the time we cleared the house, it was already dark.
Li Tannian had just been struck by lightning and rolled in muddy water once before. He felt unspeakably uncomfortable all over his body.
The Lu family didn't have a bathtub. She was just about to get some water to scrub and scrub when she saw Erbao and Sanya walking in shakily, one holding a wooden basin and the other holding a dry handkerchief.
"Wash, wash your feet."
Before Li Tannian could react, Erbao and Sanya had already come closer. Each of them hugged one of her feet and wanted to help her remove her shoes and socks.
