Chapter 273 I was wrong the next second
Dalang, Erlang and Si Niang looked at each other and felt that the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit strange. A Niang was eating heavily, but her eyes were fixed on A Wang, who was lowering his head.
My father looked distracted and almost put food into his nostrils.
Saburo was the only one who didn't notice, so Hululu just had half a bowl of scrambled eggs and vegetable soup with rice.
Siniang shook her head helplessly and muttered in a low voice: "What an idiot."
“Melon?” Sanlang didn't hear clearly, thinking that his sister was imitating him in making frog calls, so he chuckled and yelled “Quak!”
Siniang: “.”
The younger sister patted her brother's little head with her backhand and smiled, "It's okay, little brother, just keep eating."
Awang obviously didn't expect that the old man who had just said something evil to him would be so kind. He was stunned for a moment in disbelief, and then looked at Qin Yao in vain.
The river in summer is 1.23 meters deep. It doesn't look very deep, but it can drown one or two children in the village every year.
Even the messy hair has not been cleaned, and the face cannot be seen clearly.
Liu Ji's heart trembled and he asked him: "Are you full?"
Speaking, he stood up again and pinched Qin Yao and Liu Ji together.
He said that Qin Yao was hypocritical and had to take a hot bath. It would be so pleasant to take a bath in the river in this summer.
It was already dark. Qin Yao took Siniang to wash up for the second time, Liu Ji for the third time, and finally Awang.
Liu Ji looked at him like that and thought of the refugees under the city gate who were like wolves who wanted to eat even people, so he quickly asked him to go to the kitchen to make some more grain porridge.
Saburo smiled brightly at his sister, put a large handful of scrambled eggs into Si Niang's bowl, "Si Niang will eat them too, the eggs are delicious."
“You are not allowed to bathe in the river privately, do you hear me?”
Liu Ji had goosebumps when he heard this series of praises. He hurriedly motioned for him to stop and don't do this next time. Just say thank you, sir.
Qin Yao asked jokingly: "Isn't your face shameful?"
She found that the food on the table was enough for their family of six. This Ngawang really kept his word and only asked for some leftovers.
Qin Yao was not a dumb person, so she glared at Liu Ji unhappily, and then raised her hand slightly. She was instantly honest.
I just remember that there is a scar as wide as a little finger on the corner of Awang's jaw. The mark is not scary, it seems to have been left many years ago. It is lighter than the skin color and cannot be noticed without looking carefully.
In order to save some firewood, Liu Ji also took great pains. He first washed all the dirt off his body with the river water that was still warm from the sun, and then washed it with soap when he got home. It could save several buckets of water.
Liu Ji didn't believe in evil and asked him to come closer and take another look. He really couldn't remember it!
“Oh.” Liu Ji nodded. He doesn't believe it at all!
Liu Ji curiously asked him how he was injured. Awang replied: "When I was a child, my father and I went into the mountains to chop firewood, and we were accidentally scratched by a hatchet."
White rice, millet, sorghum, etc. are all in the tank, all without bran and clean.
Awang got the food and immediately took it out the door. It would be no exaggeration to say that he was gobbling up the food. He finished it in a few big mouthfuls.
Liu Ji felt that he was simply a roundworm in the belly of an evil woman. He could read whatever she wanted. Nothing could make people want to hit the wall more than this.
Awang is about the same height as Liu Ji, both tall and tall, and he can wear Liu Ji's clothes.
Liu Ji does have an old linen suit, the same one that Qin Yao wore when he first arrived here. It is also patched. If it gets dirty, it can only be dried in the sun, and he dare not wash it for fear of ruining it.
Whose share is left? She had finished eating her portion anyway.
Liu Ji glanced at him and suddenly felt that this man was a bit scary.
Otherwise he was afraid that when he got up in the middle of the night, he would find that his hand had been chopped off and cooked.
Qin Yao said in the main room: "Boil more hot water and wash yourself." She couldn't stand the smell. Speaking of this, Liu Ji brought people back all the way, and his body was full of smell. Qin Yao couldn't bear it any longer, "You stay away from me. By the way, find some of your old clothes and give them to him."
Awang scooped out half a bowl of millet to make porridge.
Perhaps I didn't expect that people these days would care about whether a slave is clean or tidy.
Hearing the sound of the shower room door opening, the couple looked over.
Half a quarter of an hour later, a face that was so ordinary that it could be easily forgotten among the crowd appeared in front of the couple.
"Huh?" Liu Ji raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Awang, why don't you wash your face? I just asked you to shave your beard clean with scissors, why didn't you shave?"
The rice vat was placed in the kitchen. There was no one else at home. Liu Ji felt that he was different from the old pious women in the village. He would not lock the kitchen to protect his son and wife.
He thought that everyone in the master's family had gone to bed, but he didn't expect that Qin Yao and his wife, with their long hair scattered, were sitting at the door of the main room, facing the door to enjoy the cool breeze.
Liu Ji looked at the child happily, observing secretly while eating, his eyes constantly switching between Awang and Qin Yao.
He secretly glanced at Qin Yao who was resting on the chair. Liu Ji didn't continue to do anything. He poured all the food he couldn't eat to Awang, and divided the remaining eggs and vegetable soup on the plate among the four children. Whatever was left was given to him.
But it was much better than the one that had turned into strips on Nga Wang's body and could easily be rubbed into black mud.
Awang was obviously caught off guard. When he found the scissors and started to attack his messy hair and beard, his movements were very slow.
The clay figurine still has three temperaments. Are there really people in this world who have no temper, no self-esteem, and no shame?
But I couldn't help but think of something more extreme.
“Awang, come down!”
Liu Ji was so kind that he even found a pair of straw sandals for Awang. After Awang had filled his stomach, he led him to the river. He took off his clothes naked and jumped into the river. After a sudden thrust, he raised his head from the water. , hook your fingers:
"Come here, the master will reward you with something to eat." Liu Ji waved towards the door in an angry voice.
Awang did as he was told: "Thank you, sir."
Awang hesitated for a while, then took off the rags on his body and went into the river.
Seeing the three Dalang brothers looking towards the river frequently, ready to make a move, Qin Yao solemnly warned:
After finishing five bowls of white rice and two bowls of soup, Qin Yao put down her chopsticks.
Her joking question made Awang freeze in his steps, and then he replied that he had forgotten, so he cleaned himself up.
Qin Yao nodded, thanked him in surprise, and immediately went into the kitchen to cook multigrain porridge for himself.
As if he couldn't hear these bad words, Awang came over respectfully, raised his empty bowl in front of Liu Ji with both hands, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Madam, for the reward! Thank you, young master and ladies!"
Hearing what Qin Yao said, Brother San'er, who was about to make a move, finally calmed down and went into the shower room to take a hot bath.
Awang shook his head sincerely, he was definitely not full.
After driving Awang to the attic and only the couple were left in the room, Liu Ji immediately closed the doors and windows tightly, knelt down and rushed to Qin Yao's feet!
He hugged her legs and lowered his voice and said urgently: "Madam, I was wrong! Madam, tell me the truth. Did I bring a fugitive home?"
“I just went down to the river to take a bath. Although it was dark, I saw a lot of scars on his body. They were deep and shallow. They looked like the edge of a knife licking blood. The old wounds were not healed and new ones were added."
