Wear to the age!I take the space to eat and drink spicy food

Chapter 3 Is it such a pity not to die?

Thinking about it this way, how could Jiang Xue let it go.

"you……"

When the little boy opened his mouth in doubt, Jiang Xue spoke first and said, "Little brother, do you have water at home? I want to ask for a bowl of water."

It's always played like this on TV, no matter when, ask for water, and then take the opportunity to ask for some news.

The little boy was taken aback when he heard the words, and nodded without thinking too much: "Yes, wait."

Just when the little boy turned and opened the door to pour water for Jiang Xue, she also took the opportunity to look at the house in front of her.

Like the clothes worn by the little boy, the house is also full of patches. The wooden planks and gray-black worn-out asbestos tiles are nailed one by one on the left and right. , Winding around a nail on the door frame is the lock.

The little boy opened the door, and the first thing that caught Jiang Xue's eyes was a simple bed made of bricks and wooden boards opposite the door. Not far from the bed was a small stove built of bricks and stones. The stove was dark. Stands a small aluminum pot.

The corn stalks he carried back twice before were hidden under the bed, and the corn stalks that had grown out of two or three knots could still be vaguely seen.

Next to the bed were two mats with missing feet and an old wooden box.

There is also a half-meter-high water tank in the house, and I don't know if it was used for Sima Guang's smashing tank. There are several breaks on the tank, but fortunately, it is all in the upper half, and it can barely be used.

Just as the little boy found a bowl with a large broken piece and was scooping water from the water tank, there was a faint coughing sound floating from the broken bed.

"Cough cough..."

"Third...baby, cough cough, isn't it dawn?"

Jiang Xue heard the sound and looked, only to realize that there was actually a person lying under the dark and thin quilt full of holes on the bed.

The little boy who had scooped the water didn't bother to bring the water to Jiang Xue, and put it on the broken horse beside him, and then stepped forward to help the person on the bed up.

"Grandma, are you awake?"

"Grandma, you fell asleep, how do you feel? Come on, I'll help you get up slowly..."

He was also so hungry that he didn't have much strength, but when he was supporting someone, he used up all the strength of breastfeeding, and blue veins burst out on his thin neck.

Jiang Xue felt that the next second, the grandparent and grandson fell to the ground together.

After finally helping him up, the little boy was sweating profusely on his forehead, and he was panting heavily.

The woman who was lifted up by the little boy had haggard hair, dry and peeling lips, and a gray face. She looked far worse than the little boy. No wonder he went out to cut corn stalks.

The woman sat up in front of him, and was about to say something to the little boy, but because she caught a glimpse of the person at the door, she squinted her eyes in surprise.

Jiang Xue stood at the door, blocking the only direction of light in the room.

The sun just jumped out from the top of the mountain and reflected on her body. The woman suddenly grabbed the hand of the little boy who was supporting her. Because of the force, the little boy's painful face wrinkled, but he didn't shake it off.

"Three, Sanba, am I dead? I seem to see a fairy standing at the door. Is she here to pick me up? Sanba, Sanba, my poor Sanba."

Jiang Xue: "..." Can she take this as a compliment?
"In the future, when grandma is gone, you will be alone. You have to take care of yourself. You are the only incense in our family. You must live well..." Probably thinking that she was dead, the woman reminded her of this matter. When I was talking, I no longer stumbled when I spoke.

Hearing this, the little boy subconsciously glanced at Jiang Xue at the door, and hurriedly explained in a low voice in embarrassment: "Grandma, no, you are in good health, why did you die?"

"The elder sister was passing by and came to beg for a bowl of water."

The woman didn't know whether she was sick or hungry. The little boy said it two or three times before she seemed to hear clearly, and then a regretful and complicated expression crossed her face.

Jiang Xue: "..." Is it so regrettable that he didn't die?

The woman also seemed to feel that her misunderstanding just now was very wrong, and she sat up a little harder, nodded apologetically to Jiang Xue, and then patted the little boy's hand: "That's it, Sanba, then give this boy a quick Comrade pour water away."

Comrade?

Jiang Xue quickly grasped the clue.

According to her impression, when referring to people as comrades, it seems to be...

"Comrade, I'm sorry. I've been ill for a few days now, and I'm getting confused. Please don't worry about what I just said."

Just when the little boy was bringing Jiang Xue water, the woman explained, her face was cautious and pleading.

Jiang Xue thought puzzledly, it was just a sentence, and it was nothing too much, why should I apologize solemnly?
But she just arrived here, so naturally she won't show it, she just nodded: "Ma'am, please don't say that, I'm the one who disturbed you."

Originally, she also wanted to go to the countryside and call out comrades, but after thinking about it, calling an aunt would not go wrong.

Jiang Xue took the broken bowl from the little boy's hand, thanked her, and left the room with the bowl in her hand.

She's not thirsty, she's just looking for an excuse. Besides, she doesn't want to drink raw water. If she has a stomachache, she can't go to the village or store, so she can go to the corn field to solve it?
When I looked across the road just now, I thought the houses on this side were close to each other, but now I know that the distance between these houses is tens of hundreds of meters.

After Jiang Xue looked at the surrounding situation, she looked around and spilled the water in the broken bowl
When she returned to the little boy's house to return the bowl again, she happened to see the little boy digging out a small old cloth bag next to the bed, taking out a handful of things that looked like dry weeds, and carefully putting them in a small aluminum pot to cook. , swallowing saliva uncontrollably.

"Thank you for the water." Jiang Xue stepped forward to return the bowl, only to realize that it was not weeds but dried wild vegetables that she didn't recognize.

When the little boy took the bowl, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Xue's white hand, his eyes flickered, and he said softly, "You're welcome, it's just a bowl of water."

"By the way, it's still half an hour away from the city. If you can meet the carriage of the production team below, it will be faster."

"Okay, thank you." Jiang Xue thanked the little boy for his kind guidance, while thinking in her heart, production team?

The coughing interrupted Jiang Xue's thinking. At this time, Jiang Xue saw the situation of the woman up close.

The woman's condition was very bad, her complexion was not only sallow, but black and blue, and from the skin on the half of her leg that was accidentally exposed from the quilt, she was even a little swollen.

Jiang Xue had never seen what a swollen person looked like, but the old dean's mother in the orphanage had also said it.

People, long-term hunger will cause edema, three swellings and three eliminations, once the last edema suddenly disappears, people will die.
