The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 58
It took a while for the wooden house in the bedroom to extinguish the fire, and the kitchen was almost burned. Chu Ying sat on the ground and saw that there was only half of the wooden house she built with her heart left. These are all her belongings. From the time I came to this world, I slowly accumulated little by little.

But a big fire burned all her efforts to ashes. Chu Ying felt that the last bit of strength in her body was taken away. Even Wang Naiyuan, who touched her several times, was lazy to respond. Chu Ying didn't want to believe it was true. , but the scalded skin and bone-piercing pain on the calf are not fake.

"Girl Ying, let's go to the Liyuan room to sleep for a while today. I can't sleep in this room today, and I'm afraid that it will be troublesome if the fire is not extinguished and it catches fire again." Aunt Wang and Wang Naiyuan stood in a daze. In front of Chu Ying.

"My sister sleeps with my mother, you can sleep in my sister's room." Wang Naiyuan was afraid that Chu Ying would be uncomfortable sleeping with someone, after all, she was a lady in the mansion before, and she learned more manners than herself.

"What's wrong with you? Talk? Oh my god, your calves, your legs are like this, why don't you talk?" Wang Liyuan pulled up Chu Ying's burned trouser legs, which contained scalded skin and blood.

"Isn't this child going to be scared and stupid? Naiyuan, hurry up and take her home to get medicine." Wang Naiyuan hugged Princess Chu Ying, afraid that she would fall off if she sat on her back like this, and the injury to her calf would also hurt her. Best not to touch it.

"Chu Ying, don't be afraid, I will give you the medicine right away." When they got home, Wang Naiyuan slowly poured cold water on Chu Ying's calf, looked down at Chu Ying, and then said nothing.

After washing, Aunt Wang scooped up some ointment from the burn and rubbed it on Chu Ying, "I'd better take her to see the doctor tomorrow, why doesn't this child say a word, and doesn't shout when applying the medicine, she must be scared stupid gone."

Chu Ying didn't know what to say, she was too lazy to say it, and the pain in her feet couldn't compare to the pain in her heart. After falling asleep in the room in the Liyuan, Chu Ying looked at the wooden comb and bright hair rope on the low table in the Liyuan , and the plain women's dress in the closet, Chu Ying didn't take it out, but just looked at it.

In fact, I just want to have a house to settle down in. It is enough to have enough food and clothing, but now that there is no place to live, Chu Ying just lay quietly on the mattress on the floor, pulled the quilt up, Talking, not crying, just staring blankly, tears streaming down by themselves.

Chu Ying got up before dawn, folded the quilt and mattress, then closed the door softly, walked slowly back to her home, looked at the black charcoal for a while, but what can I do? ?Chu Ying picked up the shovel that was placed in the nearby shed, and pushed aside the black charcoal to see what was left.

Although the sickle has no handle, the knife can still be used, but the blade is very blunt, it may need to be tempered, and the stone ax is also burnt to pieces. Now I don’t have any tools for chopping wood. I have to go to see if there is such a thing by the stream Stone.

All the clay pots and water tanks were smashed, Chu Ying picked up the pieces and put them in the basket. These "corpses" Chu Ying didn't want to throw them away for nothing, after all, they bought them with their own money, so even if they were broken, they couldn't be ruined .

Because the earthenware pot was filled with wood chips, and it was smashed, all the food inside was burned. Chu Ying swept up the burnt rice and dumped it in the vegetable field, asking them to do their best.

Chu Ying moved the burnt wood together, and her fish and pickled bamboo shoots were also killed. Chu Ying dumped these mixed ashes in the vegetable field, but when she was sweeping, she saw something shiny, Picking it up, it looked like something made of silver. Although it was a little burnt, it looked like a pencil cover. Chu Ying put the thing away.

I don't know where this thing came from, I haven't seen it before, and I don't know if it is on the ground. Chu Ying thought that there must be a lot of silver buried on the ground, but after digging for a long time, there was nothing, and it was still useless. All the strength.

After cleaning for a long time, Chu Ying packed up a pair of scissors, a sickle, and the iron sheet that was used as the baffle of the rocket furnace. It is true that some metal things are less afraid of fire. Next time, I must build a metal room. Everything is made of metal, let's see if it will burn like this.

But that will definitely cost a lot of money, probably only the emperor has that kind of financial resources, Chu Ying used the knife on her body to cut a wooden handle to install the sickle, and then cut off the black charcoal that had burned a third in the bedroom, because The sickle is blunt and the progress is slower.

Chu Ying originally wanted to cut some wood to make up for it, but she couldn’t cut down trees without a stone axe, so she had to take out the earth bricks from the shed and build them up slowly. , put three blocks in the vertical direction on the upper layer, so that the wall will have some thickness, and it is easier to build by yourself.

It was almost noon when the wall was finished, and Chu Ying used earth bricks to build a rocket stove outside the bedroom and put the iron baffle on it. In fact, only 16 earth bricks were needed to build it.

Now place three blocks vertically on the lower floor, and place one and a half earth bricks horizontally in front of these three blocks. On the second floor, three and a half blocks of earth bricks are used to place the door characters. Place four clay bricks on the third floor to form the back characters, and place the back characters on the fourth floor as well, but do not place them in the same position as the earth bricks on the lower layer, otherwise it will be easier to fall.

Chu Ying picked up relatively flat stones, washed them clean and burned them, and then took some chestnut powder from the attic of the bedroom. Fortunately, she put the chestnut powder and some clay pots that could not fit in the kitchen on the attic, at least for the past few days Food is not a problem, but I can't eat chestnut powder every day, I still have to buy some food.

After eating, Chu Ying lay down on the floor on the side that was not burned. The quilt and bed had been burned, leaving only a few sets of winter clothes and spring and autumn clothes. Chu Ying didn't sleep much last night, thinking about it all the time Did you forget to turn off the spark when you made your own dinner?

Chu Ying took out the silver cover, Chu Ying didn't know what it was for, but there were some black things inside, Chu Ying took it out, the outside had been burnt to ashes, and the inside was carbonized cloth strips, carbonized As long as the strip of cloth touches a little spark, it can burn.

Someone must have put this in the kitchen, and Aunt Wang said yesterday that it was Bai Yuhe who came, but she has no grievances with her, and she can't kill herself because of jealousy, and this is made of silver , not what she can afford.

Chu Ying closed her eyes and slept for a while. She was really tired these days, her heart was tired, her body was tired, and she felt that she had no hope of continuing to struggle. She really wanted to sleep like this, but she was called by Wang Naiyuan before falling asleep. woke up.

"Are you all right, why don't you go and see the doctor?"

"I'm fine, really, thank you for helping me so much yesterday."

"It's all from the folks in the village. Let's not talk about it. It's a burn ointment. You rub it twice a day. It should get better in a few days, but it may leave a small scar. Don't take a bath these days." Wang Naiyuan said to Xiaoci The pot was placed on the low table next to it, and Chu Ying's winter coat was pulled and covered for her.

"Go to sleep, come to my house for dinner tonight, you don't have anything to eat here, I'll call you when the time comes." Chu Ying nodded and closed her eyes, not wanting to think or do anything.
