A ragged cub at the beginning

That night, Qiyue, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly groaned and rolled around on the bed. Tang Xu, who was not sleeping soundly to begin with, woke up instantly. He put his hand on Qiyue's forehead, which was so hot that it burned his hand.

Boil the medicine! The antipyretic medicine from last time is still there! But she was worried about July being alone in the room, and when she was anxiously running around, there was a knock on the door. She was startled, and only realized that there was such a person in the house when she heard Tang Ling's questioning voice. This was a great help. She opened the door and said to Tang Ling anxiously, "Can you help keep an eye on July? He has a fever. I'll go and boil some medicine for him."

Tang Ling was dissatisfied. It was just a bastard, so why should she worry so much? "Go ahead." She said as she walked into the house. The little thing's face was red and it was almost smoking. She kept mumbling, "Mom, I'm afraid." Weak and delicate, a waste.

It was obvious that Tang Xu had not treated this child like this before. Although Tang Ling also despised her sister for abusing such a little thing, the huge contrast in attitudes was also suspicious.

But Ren Tangling couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. His sister's soul was gone, only her body remained. After all, the idea of ​​reincarnation only existed in stories. Who could have thought that their loved ones would encounter such a thing? Even if reincarnation was possible, the person had to be killed first. With Tang Xu's ability, it was simply a pipe dream to want to kill the original owner.

Tang Xu put the herbs into the pot, waited for them to boil, and then boiled water in a large pot. After finishing this, she brought a basin of cold water into the room. Tang Ling stood by the bed with his arms folded, watching Qiyue rolling around on the bed indifferently. Tang Xu was stunned for a moment. Maybe some people are born not to like children?

I wrung out a wet handkerchief and applied it to July's forehead, then lifted the quilt, exposing her limbs to help dissipate heat.

Then she went back to the kitchen. The medicine pot was already boiling. She took out the extra firewood and kept it on low heat. She increased the heat of the pot and scooped the water into the bucket when it was warm. She went back to the room, cleaned July and soaked her in warm water. After all this, July opened her eyes dazedly and woke up.

"July, where do you feel uncomfortable?" Tang Xu asked with concern.

"It hurts..." July opened his mouth and said, his voice weak.

"Where does it hurt?" Tang Xu touched his head and asked with concern.

"My bones hurt, my head hurts too..." As July said this, she pursed her lips and tears fell down.

"I'll go check out the medicine." Tang Xu stood up anxiously. Tang Ling turned around and walked out. "I'll go check it out." She didn't like watching this crying scene. It made her feel irritated.

July was tired after crying for a while, and her head leaned weakly against the edge of the bucket.

Tang Xu felt distressed and anxious, and couldn't help thinking, Tang Ling is a killer, why not ask him to teach the father and son a lesson. This beast who has harmed countless people should be castrated directly!

When Tang Ling came in with the bowl of medicine, Tang Xu expressed his thoughts.

"Why don't you go yourself? Is this kind of person difficult for you to deal with?" Tang Ling asked back.

"I, I fell on my head and lost my memory. I also forgot my martial arts." Tang Xu made an excuse.

Tang Ling sneered, "Then how come you remember that I'm your sister?"

"I only forgot part of it. The human brain is so complicated, right? It's hard to say, and I don't know." Tang Xu didn't dare to look back at Tang Ling, nor did he dare to say more, for fear of exposing more flaws.

Tang Ling said nothing, put down the medicine bowl and went out.

Tang Xu barely slept that night. Qiyue's fever gradually subsided after she took the medicine. She breathed a sigh of relief, wiped her dry and put her back on the bed. But she didn't dare to sleep, and touched Qiyue's forehead from time to time.

Fortunately, the fever didn't go away until dawn, and he felt full of energy again when he woke up in the morning.

However, Tang Xu was worried and took him to see a doctor again. The doctor said that there was nothing serious and that he should drink the tranquilizing soup for another two days, be more alert at night, and prepare another dose of antipyretic medicine.

Tang Xuan took Qiyue to the noodle shop for breakfast. She also bought some vegetables. The braised pork was very popular yesterday, so she planned to buy some ribs and roast them for lunch.

But the pork stall owner forgot to bring his basin, and forgot to bring his basket again, so she had to buy another basket to put the vegetables in. She already had seven or eight baskets at home.

Considering that she bought a few more ribs, the boss didn't care about the bowl. He knew the girl, who bought meat every few days, so she shouldn't be greedy for his bowl.

When she got home, she ran into Zhao Sanping going out. She went up to ask Zhao Yunniang if she had a fever at night. Zhao Sanping said that she had a fever for a while, but she got better after taking medicine. That's why he was delayed until this point. He hesitated for a while and thanked Tang Xu for being willing to teach Yunniang to read.

The two men exchanged a few polite words, and Zhao Sanping left in a hurry as he was in a hurry to get to work.

Fang Zijun and Zhao Yunniang were playing with a spinning top at the door when the door suddenly opened and an old lady came out. Zhao Yunniang suddenly became quiet and stood up with her neck shrunk.

Mrs. Zhao put her hands on her hips and cursed, "You are a money-loser. You don't do any housework. It's better to raise a dog than to raise you. A dog can guard the house! A girl of your age is out all day long. Who will dare to marry you in the future? Cry, why are you crying? Did I hit you? You are just like your bitch mother, pretending to be pitiful..."

Seeing that she was getting more and more outrageous, Tang Xu took a few steps forward, opened the door of his house, pushed all three children in, and closed the door behind him. Glancing at Mrs. Zhao, he said coldly, "Where did this crazy woman come from? If you have a mental illness, go see a doctor! She has been sick since early in the morning, and no one is taking care of her?"

"You are sick! What does it have to do with you if I scold my granddaughter? Who are you? You show up in public all day long. You are shameless. If I ask your mother, I will put you in a pig cage!" Mrs. Zhao pointed at Tang Xu and scolded him so excitedly that her saliva was spraying everywhere.

Tang Xu knew that she must not get angry when dealing with such a person. The calmer you are, the angrier she will be. She sneered and mocked: "Your granddaughter? If you don't know, you would think she is your enemy. You go crazy at home every day. It's unlucky to be your neighbor. You never have a peaceful moment. You can say that a crying child is immature, but at your age, can't you even control your mouth? Oh, come into the house and take a look. I think your mouth seems to be rotten." After that, she went straight back to her home and slammed the door in front of Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao came into the house cursing. She felt that she couldn't open her mouth these days. The corners of her mouth hurt a lot when she grew up. She went to the kitchen water tank to look at it, but she couldn't see clearly. It seemed that there was something growing at the corner of her mouth, and it hurt to touch.

Yu Xiaotao listened to her mother-in-law scolding her daughter, herself, and her neighbor Miss Tang, lying on the bed helplessly, her tears had long dried up. She turned her head to look at her skinny little daughter, and she couldn't help but feel sad. Why didn't she listen to her brother and choose such a family? Her brother had said that the mother-in-law of this family was difficult to get along with, and life would definitely be difficult. What she said at the time, "I'm not afraid, people are all made of flesh and blood, I treat her sincerely, and she will treat me sincerely too."

Thinking about it now, this is so naive and ridiculous. It turns out that not everyone's heart is made of flesh, some people are made of stone, you can't warm them. Now it has come to this, she deserves it. She is not afraid of death, but what about her children?

Du Jiarui hadn't come yet, so Tang Xu made another little book, but this time she didn't draw a story. She drew four children in class, but Zhao Yunniang in the picture had her own desk and chair.

Thinking of the tables and chairs, she took the words written by Du Yun to Fang's house. Fang Yuanqin had already gone out, and Dong Wanwan asked her to stay and ask him to take them back later. Tang Xu also asked to add a set of tables and chairs for Zhao Yunniang to use.

Dong Wanwan had a complicated expression and said, "It is a great blessing for these children to meet you."

"What kind of blessing is this? These children have suffered a lot with me. Why didn't you say anything?" Whenever Tang Xu thought about how such young children were injured because of the Zhu family and himself, he wanted to beat Zhu to death with a stick.

"Children are bound to have bumps and bruises. Okay, okay, don't think about it. I heard Jiarui is here. You should go and teach the children." Dong Wanwan didn't like to hear these words. Although Dandan was beaten twice, it was the fault of the Zhu family and had nothing to do with Tang Xu.

When Tang Xu returned home, Du Jiarui had indeed arrived, brought by Mrs. Du herself. She did not mention Du Jiarui's injury, but only praised Tang Xu's stewed meat for being delicious, and said that even with her teeth, she could eat two pieces.

The morning class went on as normal. After class, Tang Xu went to the kitchen to stew pork ribs and told the children not to run around alone. If they wanted to go out to play, they could call her. It was too scary to not be able to find the children yesterday, and she didn't want to experience it again.

Fang Zijun nodded repeatedly and promised not to take his younger brothers and sisters out again.

Tang Xu bought a lot of spare ribs in the morning, and chopped them into small pieces, preparing to make a dish of spare ribs with potatoes, and sent a bowl to each family. While she was cooking, she listened to the movements in the yard to make sure the children were there.

After the ribs were cooked, she went to the toilet in the backyard. Tang Ling floated out silently, startling her. "What are you doing?"

Tang Ling looked at her expressionlessly, "Didn't you ask me to go to Zhu's?"

"Ah? You went?" Tang Xu became more alert. "Did you beat them?"

"They're all dead if I take action." Tang Ling said this calmly as if he had eaten a potato for lunch. "I went to take a look. There were four children hiding in that house. The oldest was no more than nine years old, and the youngest was no more than five years old. It can be seen that Zhu Wuqing likes to play with children of this age. His son Zhu Tou likes girls aged fifteen or sixteen, and he has locked up many of them in the yard. When they died from playing, they threw them into a dry well in the back garden. There were no less than five bodies in the well."

"Two beasts! They didn't even let the child go!" Tang Xu gritted his teeth when he heard this. These two beasts should be cut into pieces!

Tang Ling still had a calm expression. She sniffed and smelled the meaty aroma again. "Why are you so angry? It's not your child."

Tang Xu looked at her in surprise. Does this man have no sympathy at all? "But, but they are all children? Aren't you angry when you see him treating them like this?"

"Why should I be angry? Those children have nothing to do with me." Tang Ling looked at Tang Xu and found it strange that she was so angry.

"No," Tang Xu couldn't just sit back and watch since she knew about this. She thought of the movies "The Crucible" and "Hope" that she had watched before. Every time she watched them, she felt suffocated and sad. If she hadn't watched those self-help videos and didn't know how to use the power, would she have appeared in Zhu's house? No, she wouldn't surrender, she would definitely find a way to castrate Zhu Tou!

How can we rescue those children now? The Zhu family will not let them go in and search openly. Using public opinion will not work, and it will alert the enemy. If they move the children away, it will be difficult to find them again.

Since we can't get in, let's find a way to get someone out! How can we get the Zhu family out? There is only one way to get someone out of the house. She looked at Tang Ling, forced out a flattering smile and said, "Sister, can you help me? I can pay you."

Tang Ling raised his eyebrows and asked with little interest: "What reward?"

"Money! Or painting! I can paint anything! I can also cook! Whatever you want to eat! I can learn to make it!" She thought for a moment, "I'll decorate your room! Buy you clothes! How about that?"

Tang Ling didn't comment, and said lazily: "What do you want me to do?"

"Hehehe..." Tang Xu smiled evilly and leaned forward, trying to hug Tang Ling's arm. Tang Ling turned sideways to avoid him and said disdainfully: "Just say it."

Tang Xu muttered about his plan. Tang Ling rolled his eyes, turned back to his room, and said as he walked, "It's unnecessary. Bring me a bowl of meat from your kitchen."

"Great~" Tang Xu responded, then he remembered that he hadn't gone to the toilet to take care of his urgent needs.

After the spareribs were cooked, Tang Xu also fried three dishes and cooked a pot of rice. After they were done, he packed a portion of each and sent it to Tang Ling's door.

She sent it to Fang and Du's families, but not to Mrs. Zhao from the Zhao family, otherwise it wouldn't reach Yu Xiaotao's mouth. She asked Dong Wanwan to knock on the door of the Zhao family and quarrel with Mrs. Zhao. After making her so angry, she went home and closed the door. Mrs. Zhao jumped up and down, pounding on the door of the Fang family and cursing. Dong Wanwan kept saying something to her in the room, while Yunniang tiptoed and quietly went home with a small basket.

Yu Xiaotao heard the quarrel outside and was afraid of waking up the child, so she patted her little daughter's back and coaxed her to continue sleeping. Yunniang opened the door a crack and squeezed in, taking out the food while saying, "Mom, eat quickly! Eat quickly! Grandma will be back soon!"

"What is this? Where did it come from?" Yu Xiaotao used all her strength to sit up. She was already injured, and her mother-in-law didn't even give her lunch at noon. She also had to take care of the children at night. She didn't eat or sleep well, and her body didn't recover, but became even weaker.

"Aunt Xu gave this to me, mom, you should eat it quickly! I'll take it away after you finish eating!" Zhao Yunniang had never done such a thing before. She was so nervous that she was sweating. She took the bowl and chopsticks and started feeding her mother.

Because the mother was weak, Tang Xu didn't serve her the rice crust. He picked the softest rice in the middle and put some in it, mixed it with minced meat and eggs, and although it didn't look very good, it was very fragrant.

Yu Xiaotao swallowed her saliva and opened her mouth to accept the food from her eldest daughter. She couldn't help crying after eating the soft and smooth eggs and the fragrant and sticky rice. She thought her heart was dead and she would not cry anymore.

"Mom, don't cry," Zhao Yunniang said with a flat mouth and choked up, "Aunt Xu is very smart. I begged her to save you. Don't cry. Let's go find uncle, okay? Eat quickly and get better soon."

Yu Xiaotao couldn't say anything else, so she just said "OK". She opened her mouth and ate big mouthfuls of food, tears streaming down her eyes.

Mrs. Zhao was gasping for breath from scolding, and was about to turn around and go home, when Dong Wanwan suddenly opened the door and poured a basin of cold water over her head, saying, "Hey, what are you doing standing at our door? Sorry, this is the water you used to wash your peed pants."

Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she jumped up and down and rushed into the Fang family's yard to curse.

Yu Xiaotao ate egg rice, pork ribs, and fragrant vegetables. Her stomach felt warm and she seemed to feel more energetic.

Zhao Yunniang grinned happily, put away the dishes and peeked through the crack of the door, and saw her grandmother enter the Fang family yard. She said, "Mom, I'm leaving," and ran out.

Tang Xu saw that the task was completed and asked Fang Zijun to shout. Dong Wanwan immediately pushed Mrs. Zhao and told her to go back to her own home and not to dirty their yard.

Mrs. Zhao was old, and was no match for Dong Wanwan. Her chest heaved with anger, and she looked like she was about to explode.

After that day, Tang Xu started to get busy. He went out early and came back late every day. Qiyue pouted every day, complaining that she didn't love him anymore and didn't like to take him out.

Tang Xu held him in his arms, kissed him, hugged him, pinched his little face, and rubbed his little arms. He laughed so hard that he forgot what he had just said.
