Chapter 2: Did you two start the fire at Aunt Chen's house?

Minghai said in surprise: "Sister, are you awake? Your forehead is injured, I will find a doctor for you!"

Mingying stretched out her thin little hand to hold Minghai. She accepted the consciousness of the original owner and knew the situation at this time.

There is only a little rice left at home. If the rice is exchanged for medicine, the four brothers and sisters will be hungry starting tomorrow.

"Brother, I'm fine, don't go."

The voice was softer than the voice of a newborn cat, and Minghai burst into tears.

"I'm sorry sister, it's no use being the eldest brother! My parents told me before we went to the battlefield that I must take good care of you, but I made you so sick!"

Nine-year-old Minghai lay beside the bed and cried loudly.

"Okay, just wake up and you'll be fine." The village chief turned his head and secretly wiped away his tears, "Minghai, look at Girl Ying, I'll ask your Grandma Luo to come over and show Girl Ying."

Grandma Luo is the village chief's mother and knows a little bit about medicine.

As soon as the village chief left, two boys who looked exactly the same, with tiger-like heads and big heads, ran in like the wind.

They are Mingying's twin brothers, Mingtao and Mingze who are less than seven years old.

"Brother, sister, we are back!"

"Brother, look, we came back in exchange for meat and eggs. Let's give my sister a good supplement tonight!" Ming Tao naively raised the meat and eggs in his hand.

The meat is smaller than the palm of his hand, and there are two eggs.

Mingze held ten kilograms of brown rice in his arms, which was also exchanged for polished rice. One kilogram of polished rice could be exchanged for five kilograms of brown rice. This was the ration for the three brothers.

Minghai cried a lot, his eyes were red, and he turned around and stood by the bed in embarrassment.

After all, he is also the eldest brother. If his brothers cry when they see him, how will his prestige be maintained in the future?

Mingtao and Mingze didn't look at him at all. As soon as their eyes met Mingying on the bed, they immediately started shouting.

"Sister, what's wrong with your forehead!?"

"Sister, does it hurt? I'll help you blow it!"

The two brothers immediately squeezed to the bedside. They were both strong men. The squeeze caused Minghai to stagger and almost fall.

"Brother, my sister is injured, go get a doctor quickly!" Ming Tao said urgently.

Mingze coaxed in a low voice: "Hey, sister, be good, third brother, it won't hurt anymore if you blow it."

Mingying, who is four and a half years old in Kezi and twenty-two years old:...

She felt uncomfortable all over, but a warm current flowed through her heart, and she whispered softly: "Second brother, third brother, I'm fine."

"Brother, how did my sister get hurt?" Mingze asked.

Minghai gritted his teeth and recounted the incident about Aunt Chen stealing rice, and explained why he didn't ask for a doctor. "The village chief went to call Grandma Luo. Let Grandma Luo take a look first."

The people in the village are so poor that if they have any disease, they will ask Grandma Luo to see her first. If Grandma Luo can't see well, she will go to the town to see a doctor.

"Grandma Luo is not at home. We met Grandma Luo on the road when we came back. Brother, please wait at home while we go to invite Grandma Luo."

After Mingze finished speaking, he took the confused Mingtao and ran away.

"Third brother, we didn't meet Grandma Luo just now!"

"Shh!"

A quarter of an hour later, the village chief came with Grandma Luo.

Grandma Luo is in her sixties, has gray hair, bright eyes, and looks in good spirits.

Although he walks with a limp, he is very energetic and energetic.

In the Yuezhao Kingdom, both men and women had to go to the battlefield to fight. Grandma Luo's left leg was injured on the battlefield when she was more than 30 years old. Because the treatment was not treated in time, the root cause of the disease was found, so she had to withdraw from the battlefield.

The village chief held a wooden bowl in his hand, which contained a green lump of freshly mashed herbs.

"Grandma Luo, village chief." After Minghai saluted, he helped Grandma Luo sit beside Mingying's bed.

Mingying then called out softly, "Grandma Luo, village chief."

It was almost dusk, the weather outside was gloomy, and the light inside the house was even worse. Grandma Luo leaned close to Mingying's forehead and took a closer look at the wound.

"Give me the medicine." Ming Hai had already wiped the wound clean. Grandma Luo took the wooden bowl from the village chief's hand and applied the green herbs to Ming Ying's forehead.

Her wrist was thick and thin, and she wore a very thin silver bracelet on her wrist. Because of the action of applying the medicine, the silver bracelet touched Mingying's nose.

A cold mechanical system voice suddenly sounded in Mingying's mind: Ding, 500 points have been added, and the total points are 550.

Mingying was stunned for a moment and quickly realized that she was from the 21st century. She had never read any novels about the system and had never heard of it.

She just didn't know what the points could be used for. Mingying was very curious, but now was the wrong time. She could only lie down and let Grandma Luo apply medicine to her.

The medicine was cool. Grandma Luo's hands were big but her movements were very gentle.

After applying the medicine, Grandma Luo wrapped a clean cloth around Mingying's head several times. She wrapped it tightly enough that Mingying didn't feel any discomfort.

Minghai said nervously: "Grandma Luo, my sister won't have scars on her forehead, right? It's not good for her to have scars as a girl."

Grandma Luo wiped her hands and said in a loud voice, "When you were a child, you fell out of a tree and hit your forehead so badly. Even after applying this medicine, there was no scar. How could you leave a scar on Ying?"

Minghai blushed. He had been obedient and behaved well since he was a child. It was a rare occasion when he was naughty.

He has always acted like a little adult. It was rare for Grandma Luo to see him like this. She smiled and said, "I learned this prescription from a pharmacist in the army. Don't worry."

Upon hearing that it was the pharmacist's prescription, Minghai felt relieved and asked, "Is there anything else wrong with my sister?"

"No." It's an old problem and she can't cure it.

Grandma Luo paused, looked into Minghai's expectant eyes, turned her head and added in a low voice, "If you take good care of it, maybe it will be fine."

What Grandma Luo didn't want to say was the last sentence. Everyone knew exactly what was going on in the Minghai family. It was a problem for the brothers and sisters to survive the winter, let alone take care of a sick child.

But after all, she delivered the baby with her own hands and saw the child who had struggled to survive until now. Grandma Luo couldn't bear to sentence her to death easily, nor could she bear to tell the truth and hurt the hearts of the three brothers Minghai.

Minghai took it seriously, his eyes lit up, and he bowed deeply, "Thank you, Grandma Luo! I will definitely take good care of my sister!"

After seeing off Grandma Luo and the village chief, Mingtao and Mingze came back, looking disgraced. Minghai didn't ask where they were, "Come here to help with the cooking. I'll steam an egg custard and make some meat porridge for my sister."

"Sister, let's go cook. If you feel uncomfortable, just call us."

Mingying nodded, and the brothers went to the kitchen at the back, where they washed the rice, made a fire, and beat eggs.

Mingying couldn't see the skilled movements of the three brothers, but soon she smelled the aroma of eggs, and her stomach rumbled uncontrollably.

After a while, Minghai came out with egg custard. He put the bowl on the small wooden stool aside, carefully helped Mingying sit up, and leaned against the wall behind the bed that was blocked by a rag.

Then he picked up the wooden spoon and scooped out a spoonful of egg custard to feed Mingying.

Mingying was so embarrassed that she wanted to do it by herself, but found that her little arms couldn't move at all, so she had to shamelessly let Minghai feed her.

Minghai's feeding movements are very skillful. It seems that he has done it countless times before.

Mingying ate half of it and stopped eating, "Give it to your brothers."

"Brothers have eaten." Minghai coaxed her, thinking that she was still the little Mingying who didn't understand anything before.

Mingying could only say: "I'm full."

The original body was thin and weak, and her stomach was like that of a small bird. Minghai just thought that she really couldn't eat anymore, "Then save it for tomorrow morning."

He was about to go to the kitchen with the bowl when he suddenly heard a child shouting outside: "It's on fire! Aunt Chen's house is on fire!"

"Hurry up and put out the fire!" Everyone in the village who heard the cry came to help put out the fire with water.

Minghai decisively walked to the kitchen, and happened to block Mingtao Mingze, who ran out and came back at an unknown time, at the back door.

Ming Tao lowered his head guiltily, while Mingze smiled playfully and said, "Brother, my second brother and I just had to pee urgently and went to relieve ourselves."

Minghai made a serious face, "Did you two set the fire in Aunt Chen's house?"

"No, no, absolutely not, we just went to relieve ourselves!" Mingze vowed.

When he said that, he bumped into Ming Tao, and Ming Tao quickly said: "That's right, brother, let's go relieve ourselves!"

Minghai said: "Second brother, third brother, tell me the truth. If you don't tell the truth, you will not be allowed to have dinner tonight!"

"Really, brother, if you don't believe me, I can swear it!" Mingze raised his right hand.

Ming Hai looked at Ming Tao quietly, "Second brother, tell me, you don't want to go hungry, right?"
