Fu Zai's eyes were red, and he had obviously cried.
Ye Annian felt a little distressed when he looked at the soft white dumpling, and opened his hand to Fu Zai: "Come and give it a hug."
Fu Zai sniffed and threw herself into Ye Anyian's arms, tears falling down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Ding Qiu heard the news of the two returning and began to tell them what happened after they left.
It turned out that not long after they left home, Aunt Tianhua and Wu Xianglian's gang came looking for them.
Seeing that the doors to the courtyard and main room were closed, he banged on the doors and called for help. The noise was so loud that it seemed like he was trying to tear down the fence.
Fu Zai and Ding Qiu were both obedient children. The cat kept silent in the west room and did not go out, while the gang was making trouble outside.
Wu Xianglian was about to kick open the door and enter the yard, but when she heard the dog barking, she hesitated and the group left after having enough trouble.
After hearing this, Ye Anyian looked very unhappy and held Fu Zai in his arms for a long time.
Ding Qiu was older after all, and he quickly regained his composure after the false alarm, and even helped Ye Anyian coax Fu Zai.
After Ye Anyian settled the two children, Jiang Zhu immediately took him back to the east room and took out the small box containing the ointment from his medicine box.
He placed Ye Anyian's right hand, palm up, on the vein pillow, then opened the box, dug out a piece with his fingers, and applied it evenly to the injury on Ye Anyian's palm.
The ointment was cold and warm, and Jiang Zhu slowly pushed it away with his fingertips. His force was not heavy, but it still caused the slightest pain when it touched Ye Anian's red and swollen palm.
"Hiss..." Ye Anyian was caught off guard and took a breath.
Jiang Zhu immediately stopped moving and asked him, "Does it hurt?"
Ye Anian shook his head: "It's okay."
He felt that he was not that squeamish. No matter in modern times or here, small bumps and bumps were always inevitable. No one cared about him. A minor injury would only heal in a few days. How could it be like this?
After this incident, Jiang Zhu moved more gently when he continued to apply medicine on him.
The fine pain was quickly suppressed by the coolness of the ointment, and the burning pain that was like a fire was relieved a lot.
Jiang Zhu applied a thick layer of ointment on his palm, almost hollowing out the ointment in the small box, showing no mercy at all.
Ye Annian lowered his eyes and watched his movements, inexplicably feeling that it was always good to feel that someone cared about him.
"Don't touch this hand with water tonight. When the swelling subsides tomorrow, just wash off the ointment." Jiang Zhu said.
"Yes." Ye Anyian raised his hand and agreed.
Jiang Zhu helped him roll up his sleeves a little to avoid rubbing the ointment on him: "If there is anything inconvenient to do, just ask me to help."
Ye Anyian nodded in agreement, but what he was thinking in his heart was: If it is only for one night, washing and other things can be done, but it will be more difficult to relieve urination.
After all, ancient clothes had three layers inside and three outside, and the way to put them on was so complicated that it took him a long time to do it with both hands.
Jiang Zhu didn't know what he was muttering. After he told her, he turned around and went to fish for clams in the water tank in the courtyard to prepare for the evening meal.
Ye Annian looked at Jiang Zhu's back from the east room window and made up his mind to drink less water tonight and go as little as possible, preferably not to the toilet.
In the yard, Fu Zai and Ding Qiu were playing with the copper coins. Ye Anyian had nothing to do, so he went out to accompany them.
Copper Coin is now familiar with them all, running around wagging its tail.
One moment he was having fun with Fu Zai, the next moment he ran to Ding Qiu's feet and sniffed around, the next moment he rubbed his furry head against Ye Annian's calf, and the next moment he ran to Jiang Zhu and wandered around him. There was no leisure at all. live.
The puppy was full of energy, so Ye Anyian went to the house to get the cloth ball he had sewn, and he and Fu Zai threw the cloth ball to the copper coins to play with.
Ding Qiu couldn't see, but he found it interesting to hear the sound of the coins running around and huffing tiredly.
And Tongqian seemed to know that his eyes could not see it. Every time before picking up a cloth ball and holding it in his mouth, he would run to Ding Qiu, stand up on his legs, and rub his hand with his head.
The three of them played in the yard until it got completely dark, and an alluring fragrance wafted out of the main room.
Jiang Zhu stood at the door and called them: "Wash your hands quickly, come and eat."
After washing their hands, the four of them sat around the low table in the main room.
For today's evening meal, Jiangzhu made stir-fried clams, stir-fried garlic sprouts and fish fillet soup. The staple food was mixed rice.
During the day, I was busy arguing with Ji Fangfang, Wu Xianglian and the others and consumed a lot, so I naturally had to eat well to replenish myself at night.
Ye Annian discovered that the shells of fried flower clams and Jiangzhu were all removed. The fried clam meat was soaked in the sauce and had a salty, sour and spicy flavor. One bite was full of clam meat, which was very enjoyable to eat.
Although the fried garlic sprouts are not paired with eggs, the Jiangzhu is fried with lard and is also very fragrant.
I don't know if it was because of the slap he gave Ye Ansong today, but Ye Anian felt inexplicably that his mood was better, his anger was smoother, and his food tasted better than usual.
He had a good appetite, but he didn't dare to eat more than half a bowl of rice and half a bowl of fish fillet soup. Because he could only use his left hand, he ate very slowly.
He didn't say he needed help, so Jiang Zhu didn't take the initiative to feed him. He ate slowly and stayed with him until he finished the meal.
Fu Zai and Ding Qiu were both very sensible, and they took the initiative to help Jiang Zhu clear the dishes, chopsticks, tables and stools without him having to do anything after the meal.
It was inconvenient for Ye Annian to do things with his right hand raised, so he went back to the east room to rest.
By the time Jiang Zhu settled the two children and went back to the west room to sleep, and prepared hot compresses and acupuncture for Ye Anyian, it was already the zenith of the moon.
He carried the medicine box into the house, where Ye Anyian was sitting on the kang with his hands raised.
"Are you sleepy?" Jiang Zhu asked.
Ye Anian shook his head. He was not sleepy, but... he wanted to relieve himself.
If in modern times, the clothes were simple in style, he could do it with just one hand without any help; but now, it is really difficult to do it.
Jiang Zhu didn't know what Ye Anyian was thinking, so he prepared a soft cotton cloth soaked in medicine and asked Ye Anyian to lie down on his lap.
Ye Anyian bit his lip secretly, feeling that he could bear it any longer, so he lay down.
However, he miscalculated.
The hot compress and acupuncture treatment lasted for more than an hour.
Towards the end, Ye Anyian felt that his urge to urinate became stronger and he could hardly hold it in anymore.
Jiang Zhu saw that although he kept his eyes closed, veins appeared on the back of his left hand that was clenched into a fist, and his right hand that had been coated with ointment was also trembling a little. He thought it was because the silver needle had stimulated the acupuncture points, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
He stopped twisting the needle, held Ye Anyian's left hand and asked, "What's wrong? Why did you have such a big reaction today?"
Ye Anyian bit his lip to the point of being bitten. In the end, his shame was no match for his physical needs.
He took a deep breath and said with trembling lips: "No...me, I want to go to the toilet."
Jiang Zhu:...
He was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he couldn't help but laugh.
"You can go if you want. Are you sorry to tell me?"
Ye Anyian said nothing, his face was hot.
Jiang Zhu stopped teasing him, pulled out the silver needle from his ear, and helped him sit up.
It was dark outside, and the toilet was built next to the vegetable patch behind the house. It was dark and windy at night, which was very inconvenient.
Jiang Zhu did not take Ye Annian out, but asked him to wait in the main room. He opened the door of the west room and gently took out a chamber pot.
"It's too dark outside. You have to take a detour to go to the toilet. Let's use this first."
Ye Anyian:...
He felt that his face was getting hotter. This was obviously the chamber pot that Ding Qiu and Fu Zai usually used.
"It's okay. I'll just go and pour it together tomorrow morning." Seeing him standing still, Jiang Zhu thought he was worried about getting into trouble if he went out in the middle of the night.
Ye Anyian:...
No, it's even more shameful!
For a man of his age, he would have to use a child's urinal and have someone help him pour it out, which would be very embarrassing.
"me..."
He thought that he might as well go outside to use the toilet.
As a result, before he finished speaking, Jiang Zhu had already neatly unbuttoned his pants.
Suddenly he felt a chill on his legs, and his silky trousers had quietly fallen to the ground.
