During this period, someone came in to see her and saw her sleeping, so they did not disturb her.
Mo Yunqing slept for a long time and didn't wake up until it was almost dark.
After a good sleep, I sweated all over and felt much better.
The room was a little dark, so Mo Yunqing took a bottle of water from the room and took a few sips to clear her dry throat, and then she found a kerosene lamp from the kang cabinet nearby.
Using a match to light the kerosene lamp, the originally dark room became much brighter.
The basket originally placed on the table was missing. Mo Yunqing guessed that the village chief's wife came to take it back while she was sleeping.
Just when Mo Yunqing was thinking about it, footsteps came from outside, and there seemed to be more than one person.
Mo Yunqing looked at the door, and soon the door opened. The village chief's wife came in first, then the village chief, the brigade captain, and the brigade captain's wife.
The village chief asked with concern: "Ancestor, you are awake. How are you feeling better?"
The captain and others also looked at her with the same concern.
Mo Yunqing still looked a little bad, but she was much more energetic than during the day.
"Much better, why are you here together?"
The village chief's wife then said: "You were resting when I came in the afternoon, so I told them to come back later."
Mo Yunqing nodded.
The village chief's wife put the basket on the table and took out the food from the basket, which was sweet potato porridge. The food was a little better than during the day and had a bit of a meaty taste. It must have been specially prepared for her.
"I only ate so much at noon. I must be starving now. I brought you something to eat."
Mo Yunqing nodded, got off the kang, walked to the chair next to the table and sat down.
The four of them watched her eating alone.
During this period, he said some things that she didn't understand.
After she finished eating, the village wife put away the dishes and chopsticks, then said a few words to Mo Yunqing, and they left.
Shortly after the captain and others left, someone knocked on the door.
Mo Yunqing walked out and opened the door in confusion.
Standing outside the door was a little girl about her age, with a childlike look on her immature face, looking at her with a smile.
The voice was a little delicate: "Old Ancestor, look what I have brought you."
Mo Yunqing knew who she was the first time she saw her. She was the heroine Mo Chuchu.
Looking down at her hand, there were two bird eggs lying in her hand.
Mo Yunqing's eyes flashed with warmth, and she said with a smile: "You can keep it and eat it."
Mo Chuchu handed the eggs forward and said with a smile: "I have eaten them. I climbed a tree today and found two nests and found seven eggs. These two are for you."
When Mo Yunqing heard her say that she climbed a tree, she burst into laughter. He raised his hand and touched her little head, looking at her with a little more tenderness.
"You climbed a tree again."
Mo Chuchu put the bird egg into Mo Yunqing's hand, a faint blush could be seen on her face, and said with a bit of shyness: "It's getting late, I won't disturb the ancestors' rest, please remember to eat
, I’m going back first, and I’ll come back to you tomorrow.”
After saying that, I ran home. The two houses were only a few steps away.
Mo Yunqing looked at the two warm bird eggs in her hands, and then looked at Mo Chuchu, who had long since disappeared.
He smiled helplessly, then turned back and closed the door.
Not long after she closed the door, three teenagers came out of the darkness.
One of the teenagers said with some emotion: "Little girls in the countryside are innocent."
Another young man said in agreement: "Yes, it's not like those in the compound, where there is a lot of intrigue at a young age."
The other one didn't speak, but looked at the closed door. After a few seconds, he looked back and said calmly: "Go back, it's getting late."
After saying that, he strode forward.
The other two teenagers shrugged and left.
The three of them are educated youths who went to the countryside.
They come from the same place and grew up together.
?
After returning to the room, Mo Yunqing blew out the kerosene lamp, took out the flashlight from the space, and placed it on the large wooden box of the kang cabinet.
The light illuminates the entire kang.
Mo Yunqing removed all the things on the kang, cleaned them, and replaced them with clean kang supplies of the same color.
Take the changed things outside and put them in the wooden tub for laundry.
It's hard to do it in the middle of the night, so I'll just wait until tomorrow.
After finishing it, Mo Yunqing went into the space and took a shower before coming out. She slept too much during the day and couldn't sleep at night.
Mo Yunqing lay on the bed and turned off the flashlight, took out the electric fan and put it aside to blow.
Looking at the dark roof with dull eyes, he shouted: "System."
System: [Host, I am here.]
Mo Yunqing asked: "Who is the male protagonist?"
The system said: [He Tingyu, from Beijing, red background, currently working as an educated youth in the village. 】
Mo Yunqing was silent for a while and asked: "So the relationship between the hero and heroine started in the village, right?"
System: [Yes.]
Mo Yunqing was silent for a while before asking: "Is my death related to them?"
System: [Irrelevant.]
After Mo Yunqing heard the word "irrelevant" spoken by the system, she felt inexplicably relieved.
She saw in her memory that Mo Chuchu really treated her like her sister, regardless of seniority. Mo Chuchu had loved to cling to her since she was a child, and she really didn't want her death to be related to her.
.
Otherwise, how can we get along with each other in the future?
Moreover, this little girl often called her sister when she was a child, sister's name.
Mo Yunqing asked again: "Can I know why I died?"
The system was silent for a while before saying: [The time has not come yet, I'm sorry to the host.]
Mo Yunqing was stunned for a moment and didn't ask any more questions.
I don't know how long it took, but Mo Yunqing's even breathing came from the dark and quiet room.
Early the next morning.
Mo Yunqing woke up at dawn.
It was just dawn when I woke up, and my body was not as groggy and weak as yesterday.
After Mo Yunqing washed up, she took out milk and a portion of beef porridge from the space, and finished her breakfast.
Mo Yunqing just walked out of the room. It was dark yesterday and she didn't even have time to take a look at what her home looked like.
It just so happened that the yard was not big and there were two rooms, one for her and one for her deceased parents.
Then there is a kitchen, a woodshed, and a toilet (dry toilet, for bathing.)
Next to the kitchen is a small private plot where vegetables are grown.
At the door of the kitchen is a well, where all the water is drawn.
The structure of the entire home forms a 7-shaped Arabic numeral.
There are earthen walls on both sides of the gate, and a clothes drying pole is set up under the corner.
After reading it, Mo Yunqing was still very satisfied.
I live by myself, not next to anyone else's house, and no one will notice me if I close the door and want to eat something.
The heroine's house is next door, not far away, and there is a trail between the two houses.
After Mo Yunqing finished looking at it, she returned to the room, opened the window for ventilation, and opened the door as well.
Then he walked to the next door and opened the windows and doors.
After a brief cleaning, take the bedding or something out to dry.
While cleaning up the room of her deceased parents, Mo Yunqing found three jade pendants from a hole under the kang cabinet, each with a word on them.
