Flower Moon

Chapter 17 Water Sheng
On the ninth day of April, after a night of rain, the crabapple flowers were all over the place.

In the morning, Tao Yueer walked into the kitchen stepping on the ground of crabapple flowers.While the smoke was curling up, Tao Yue'er was already very familiar with everything here. Under her care, the kitchen was in order, and the children's meals had also made a qualitative leap.

Looking at the children's increasingly rosy complexions and round bodies, Tao Yue'er finally has some skills to be proud of - her cooking is delicious.

It is not difficult to follow the recipes recorded in "Quiet Diet Record", but it is extremely nourishing.

Seeing the little bunny buns gradually taking shape in her hands, Tao Yueer felt from the bottom of her heart that the person who wrote this cookbook probably also had a child who needed to be taken care of.Because every dish is not only delicious, but also 'fun' and very enjoyable to watch.It seems to be coaxing children with food.

After the meal was ready, the jade rabbit-shaped steamed buns were unanimously praised by everyone.Seeing them jumping for joy one by one, Tao Yue'er was also extremely happy.

It's just a pity that there are more and more sores on their bodies... Even A Yin, who has always been the most lively, can only lie on the bed, unable to get out of bed and walk.

Such a change, before and after no more than seven days.

Seven days ago, Ah Yin was still bouncing around picking bamboo shoots, but when she came back that night, she couldn't do it anymore, and she didn't go out the next day.

Now seven days have passed, and she has been lying in bed for seven days. Today, when she saw the Jade Rabbit buns, although her eyes were shining, she couldn't swallow them.Can only watch, can't speak.

And Ah Sheng hadn't come out to make troubles for seven days, and the two most lively people in the courtyard in Tao Yue'er's view lost their voices, which made her feel a little heavy.

After breakfast, Hua Ling called Tao Yue'er into the room and said to her, "When I'm applying the medicine to A Sheng, you hear three knocks on the bed, and come in... Let's talk about the Salesian Bureau. I sent someone to deliver something to Ah Sheng." After he finished speaking, he handed Tao Yueer a clothed puppy puppet.

Tao Yue'er took the puppet and took a closer look. Although the stitches were awkward, they were indeed carefully sewn one by one, and some even had blood on them.

"You did this?" Tao Yue'er asked curiously.

Hua Ling's expression froze, her face was a little unnatural, and she said: "Don't care who did it, just do as I say."

"Oh, okay." Tao Yue'er nodded and put the doll away.

Hua Ling left after explaining, Tao Yueer noticed that he still had a new set of clothes in his hand, it could be seen that it was a girl's clothes, the craftsmanship was far inferior to that of a professional embroiderer, presumably it was made by Hua Ling herself.

Tao Yue'er followed Hua Ling's instructions, carefully wrapped the puppet in her bag, and then quietly followed to the small black room, hiding in the corner and listening carefully.

In the room, after Hua Ling wiped Ah Sheng's face, she said, "Use Qionghua for the last time today, and your body will recover."

"Really?" Suddenly, Ah Sheng asked angrily, "Can I go out like before?"

"En." Hua Ling nodded.

"Great." Ah Sheng's tone sounded very happy, but there was no trace of a smile on his face.

In fact, she knew very well that she was different from the children outside.

She can't see the sun for a long time, and she also has strength that they don't have.And every time she stays in this world, every moment is creating karma.

"Don't think too much, today is your birthday, I made you a new dress, try it on?" Hua Ling took out the dress and spread it out in front of A Sheng.

A Sheng's eyes immediately burst into light, and she could see that she was happy, but the happiness didn't last long, and soon dimmed again.

"It's been a year, it's been a year." A Sheng lowered his head, his fingers clenched his clothes tightly, and his wrists trembled uncontrollably.

Tao Yue'er didn't know what happened, but felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little weird.

Hua Ling helped A Sheng change her clothes, and said: "Whether you are dead or alive, you are the same in my heart as the children in the yard. The body of the world is far less important than the soul."

After Hua Ling finished speaking, she knocked on the bed slowly, without leaving any traces, as if she was just tucking in the quilt for her.

Tao Yue'er knew that this was the signal that she was going to appear on the stage, so she immediately followed her instructions, pretending to run from the gate to the backyard, holding the door panting, and said to Hua Ling: "Ah, ah Sheng, yes, someone is here for you Delivered something."

A Sheng's gaze still fell on Tao Yue'er like a blade: "Why would someone give me something?"

Tao Yue'er was taken aback, suppressed her nervousness, and said bravely, "It's at the door, it seems to have been there for a while, I just found out when I was sweeping the floor... I can't read, there are children who can read When I saw the note, I said it was for Ah Sheng."

"What is it?" Hua Ling looked at Tao Yue'er, her expression was as calm as ever, as if she really didn't know what it was.

"It seems... like a rag doll." Tao Yue'er's acting skills were naturally not as good as Hua Ling's, and she almost couldn't keep acting.

"Show me." Hua Ling left the bed, walked towards Tao Yue'er, took the doll from him and walked back.

He opened the package, handed the doll in the shape of a puppy to A Sheng, opened the letter with the words 'Shui Sheng Received', and said: "It is indeed for you, but there is no signatory."

"What was written in the letter?" A Sheng hurriedly raised his head and looked at Hua Ling.

Hua Ling slowly read the letter: "Shui Sheng, I'm sorry, it was a last resort to keep you in the Salesian Bureau. I wanted to look for you in two months, but you have been transferred to the epidemic So, it took me a year to find out about you. The Epidemic Center cannot visit, so I can only give you this gift on your birthday. When you recover from illness, I will come and take you home."

A Sheng's eyes were dull, his hands tightly clutched the doll, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Tao Yue'er was very puzzled.

This doll was made by Hua Ling, and he wrote the letter. Why did Ah Sheng react so strangely?
The air was a little heavy, and Tao Yue'er didn't know whether she should leave or stay. At this moment, Ah Sheng, who had been holding back for a long time, suddenly shed tears of blood.

The sound of crying lingered in the small black room, and she hugged the doll tightly, crying loudly.

At the same time, a shrill scream echoed in the air along with her crying.Tao Yue'er thought she was about to go berserk again, so frightened she quickly blocked her ears and ran out, but it didn't help.

That shrill cry seemed to come from the depths of your heart, and you couldn't escape it at all.

The sharp shouts surrounded Tao Yue'er tightly. She was in great pain, but she noticed that the children in the yard didn't seem to hear them at all.

Under the sun, they were playing games one by one, bouncing around happily, unaware of the scream.

Just when Tao Yue'er thought she might die in A Sheng's screams, the screams suddenly stopped.The sunlight in front of her was shrouded in shadows, she looked up and saw Hua Ling standing in front of her.And behind him, the wooden door of the black house has been closed.

"What's wrong with A Sheng?" Tao Yue'er was curious, and told her intuitively that A Sheng didn't seem to be doing well.

Hua Ling looked calm and sat down beside her.

He didn't answer Tao Yue'er's question quickly, but instead asked her: "Do you have the medal of the Nine Directions Warlock with you?"

Tao Yueer shook her head: "It's in the house, do you need it? I'll get it for you now."

Hua Ling held her down, shook her head and said, "No need."

Tao Yueer blinked her eyes, not quite understanding why he suddenly asked this?

I wanted to wait for him to continue talking about Shui Sheng, but Hua Ling stood up and said: "If you have any doubts, you might as well go and see for yourself. Take the medal and your doubts into the dream, and you will see what you want to know things."

Tao Yue'er didn't know why, and wanted to ask something, but Hua Ling didn't answer her anymore.

It could be seen that he was not in a good mood.The moment she turned around and entered the door, Tao Yue'er clearly saw that most of the quilt on his bed had been removed, exposing a piece of cotton wool.

And the bed sheet that was removed made a new dress for Ah Sheng...
