Chapter 23 Cleanliness
"Miss Qingyou, I think the death of Old Man Li and Aunt is not simple." Zhang Tieniu said suddenly.
Li Qingyou's heart skipped a beat, and these words were just in her heart.
"What do you mean?" Li Qingyou grabbed his hand anxiously, "Do you have any clues?"
After all, he was in the yamen and he might know something if outsiders didn't know it.
The girl's soft hands seemed to have no bones, slightly cool, like a piece of sugar-filled ice in summer, cooled to her heart. Zhang Tieniu had no strength to think about anything else, only to feel that the blood in her body rushed to the top of her head, and half of her body was numb.
It was not until Zhang Tieniu waved his fair and slender hands in front of him that he suddenly came back to his senses and felt lost as the little hand left in his hand.
At the same time, I cursed myself in my heart, thinking about something messy.
Taking advantage of the moonlight to see the suspicious blush on his face, Li Qingyou was confused, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
It was obviously pretty good just now.
Zhang Tieniu quickly focused his attention and explained his own analysis. The result was similar to what Li Qingyou thought. The old couple had no enemies and lived a good life, so there was no reason to commit suicide.
Li Qingyou was very disappointed, and his dim eyes made Zhang Tieniu feel heartbroken, "Miss Qingyou, don't worry, I've just come back these two days. I'll go to the yamen tomorrow to ask, maybe I'll know some letters."
Li Qingyou nodded and thanked again.
After the matter was finished, Zhang Tieniu should leave. Before leaving, he still looked into the room without giving up. Until Li Qingyou glared at him, he hurriedly explained: "I just thought if there is still water in your water tank at home? I'm fine for you to help you fill it up."
Seeing his anxious face and thick neck, Li Qingyou chuckled, "I only picked the full ones in the morning, how can I use them so quickly?"
Yes, Zhang Tieniu scratched his head and aimed at the firewood pile again, "Is that firewood enough? I'll help you chop firewood."
As he said that, he was about to go over, but was stopped by Li Qingyou. "Wait until you have time, it's too late today."
The neighbors will come back later, but I don’t know what bad things will be said.
Zhang Tieniu had no excuses and had to leave in a bad mood.
Li Qingyou kept sending him out of the gate before coming back. As soon as she entered the room, she was busy looking at Ah Di's injuries. She looked at him in a hurry when she came in, only to know that his legs had knocked down, and then she saw that his knees were bruised.
"Why are you not careful?" Li Qingyou took the medicinal wine and rubbed it for him.
The medicinal wine must be used to make the effect of the medicine work. Looking at Ah Di's pain, he grinned and comforted: "Hold on it, otherwise the blood stasis will hurt more."
Ah brother nodded obediently, blinked his eyes wide, and suddenly asked, "Sister, does Zhang Tieniu like you?"
Li Qingyou paused, his ears got a little hot, and then poked his head, "The little girl is not ashamed of anything she is talking nonsense."
Brother Ah curled his lips, it was obvious that Sister Qingyou didn't admit it yet.
After a while, Ah-di carefully looked at Li Qingyou's face. Seeing her looking over, she said, "Sister, I want to take a shower."
When he was in the mansion, he had to burn incense to bathe every day. Now he hasn't been bathing for more than ten days and he is completely in a state of great difficulty.
This time, Li Qingyou refused without any hesitation, "No."
Ah Di flattened his mouth and didn't make a fuss. He just looked at her with his big glass bead-like eyes, while Li Qingyou had no resistance to his little eyes.
"It's really not possible." Li Qingyou sighed and explained patiently: "It's too cold now, it's especially cold here. If you take a shower tonight, you will catch a cold tomorrow... and you will have a cold, or do you want to continue drinking bitter medicine soup?"
Even if he was willing to take medicine, she would not have any extra money to get the medicine. You should know that a person at this time might kill him if he caught a cold.
My brother lowered his head, and he naturally didn't want to drink bitter medicine soup, but it was too uncomfortable.
"Let's do this, boil more hot water later, you can simply wipe your body and soak your feet." Li Qingyou took a step back, and saw that Ah Brother's two big glasses suddenly lit up, and she couldn't help but laugh. The little brat is quite obsessed with cleanliness.
She had long discovered that Ah Brother had a clean obsession. This child had to wash his hands no matter what he did, and insisted on soaking his feet every night. Even with her soaking her feet every day these days, it was really comfortable.
Li Qingyou didn’t have this habit in the past. He was used to taking a shower every night in his previous life, but it was very inconvenient in this ancient times, and over time he got used to it.
Also, Ah Di's clothes are changed every day. He was embarrassed to let her wash them, so he fetched water to wash them by himself. He didn't know how to do it. Every time he made water in the stove, Li Qingyou had to take it over and help wash it.
When she was washing clothes, he would squat on the side and watch them seriously. After a few days, he could already do his own clothes. Although he still couldn't wash them cleanly, he insisted on not bothering her anymore.
Li Qingyou can understand it. After all, she is a child of a wealthy family. In fact, he can live such a life without any complaints, which has already made her look at her with admiration.
That night, the siblings went to bed early. When it was 30 o'clock, Li Qingyou got up.
On the 16th day of the first lunar month, you can open to business.
He took out the beans soaked the day before, and when he pushed open the door, a cold wind blew on his face. The frozen Li Qingyou shivered, and quickly boiled some hot water to wipe the graphite plate clean, scooped a can of beans and placed them in the middle of the millstone, and grabbed the grinding rod with both hands and pushed forward with difficulty.
"Sister." Ah brother got up at some point, held his shoulders and stood beside Li Qingyou, pointing to the direction of the donkey shed, "Why don't you let the donkey pull the mill?"
"Sister needs to exercise, wait and let the donkey pull it." This is an exercise she started to do not long after she came here.
It was mainly because she found that this body was too weak at that time.
It’s okay to just lose weight. I don’t know if it’s because I didn’t take care of it after being “beaten to death” at the Shen family, or if my health is too poor, and I have a small cold every now and then.
The body is the capital of revolution. After finally having the opportunity to live again, she must exercise her body stronger.
Especially on this winter night, just watching the donkey, I was trembling with the cold, and I could still warm it up while exercising, which was a killing two birds with one stone.
It was hard to push the stone mill that had a few dozen kilograms. Yu Guang saw Ah Di shrinking his shoulders in a cold manner and waved, "Come on, come here, you can also come and be with your sister."
My brother always obeyed Li Qingyou's words, and he walked over after hearing this.
So on the night of the 16th day of the first lunar month, the donkey watched the brothers and sisters pushing the stone mill and then circling around. Until they were both panting and sweating, they led the donkey over to continue the rest of their work.
