"Granny, I usually cook porridge like this. I've never eaten anything strange.”
Jiang Feng frowned and looked over nervously.
He placed a pickled vegetable on top. The color had already turned dark black. Naturally, it had been pickled for a long time.
The taste was very strong, but it went well with rice.
However, Empress Lu had never eaten pickled vegetables since she was young.
It was expected that the taste would be strange for the first time.
"You brat, you must be deliberately provoking granny. Go and get me a new bowl. Don't put anything on it!”
As soon as Empress Lu finished speaking, she spilled the porridge on the ground.
A puddle of water appeared on the ground, which was quickly sucked dry by the soil. Only scattered rice grains were left, mixed with dust.
Empress Lu was extremely decisive. Just as a hint of guilt rose in her heart, she firmly suppressed it.
At this moment, she felt that even if a normal person was made difficult by her, they would probably not be able to hold it in and chase her away.
However, Jiang Feng had a pure and kind nature, and it was already commendable that he had tolerated her causing trouble time and time again.
Empress Lu continued to observe. She noticed that Jiang Feng's eyes were filled with tears, and he looked at the rice grains on the ground with a heart-wrenching pain.
Empress Lu pursed her lips and sighed. She could not bear to look at Jiang Feng's expression anymore.
"Jiang Feng, I hope you won't blame me after we leave the dream.”
Empress Lu handed over a porcelain bowl.
Jiang Feng held it in his hand and walked back into the house in a daze. He paced back and forth in front of the earthen stove. In the end, he gritted his teeth and scooped the remaining bowl of porridge into the stove.
After a while.
Empress Lu noticed that he had walked out again, but this time, his hand that was passing the porridge was slightly trembling, and his eyes were staring at her nervously.
"Although this porridge is bland and tasteless, it's barely edible.”
Empress Lu said softly. She frowned and slowly drank the bowl of porridge.
This was the first time she ate so crudely. She made up her mind that after she left, she would definitely change into a few delicacies.
"Since you've served me, I won't mind you hiding a copper coin.”
Empress Lu handed the bowl back and took out her walking stick to knock on the ground again. She planned to find a place with no one to eat again.
Empress Lu wanted to leave, but before she could go far, she stopped.
She saw Jiang Feng squatting on the ground with a bowl in his hand.
He picked up the rice grains from the ground and placed them back into the bowl one by one. His eyes were filled with seriousness. After picking them up for a long time, he finally picked them all up.
At this time, the rice grains had increased by quite a bit, more than half a bowl, but most of them were actually dust and gravel.
After he was done, Jiang Feng slowly let out a sigh of relief. When he looked up and saw that she was still there, his body trembled again. He tiptoed back as if he was worried that he would disturb her.
Empress Lu sighed, and her expression changed slightly. She had nothing to do now, so she planned to keep an eye on Jiang Feng.
Back in the house.
Jiang Feng poured the rice into the water and washed it carefully.
After washing for a long time, he picked them up one by one.
Although there were still some small stones inside, it looked much cleaner.
Empress Lu floated in the air and watched as Jiang Feng reheated it before bringing it into the room.
"Qingdeng, get up and have some porridge. You're still sick. You have to eat something to recover faster.”
Hearing this, Qing Deng sat up. He had just taken two sips when he could not help but pause.
Puzzled, she pointed at the bowl of porridge in her hand.
"Brother, why is there so much porridge and pebbles today? Did you not wash it properly?"
Jiang Feng shook his head.
"Just now, a poor old woman passed by and asked me for a bowl of porridge. I saw that she was alone and blind, so I couldn't help but give her a bowl of porridge.”
"But she spilled the porridge on the ground, and my heart ached a little, so I picked it up for you to eat.”
Jiang Feng slowly explained.
Qing Deng frowned and looked very angry.
"Brother, but you're too bad. Why did you give me dirty porridge to eat while you wanted to eat good food? No, I want to drink your share!"
"Yes, yes, brother is a big bad guy. I've already finished my portion. Hurry up and eat. When you're done, I'll help you sew up your torn pants.”
Jiang Feng smiled dotingly and patted Qing Deng's head. A hint of bitterness flashed across his eyes.
Qingdeng was eating porridge.
Jiang Feng turned around and swallowed his saliva.
Soon, Qing Deng finished his porridge.
Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief and washed the dishes. However, he frowned and looked at his stomach, which was growling.
"Stomach, why are you so disappointing? I just fed you yesterday.”
Jiang Feng murmured softly. He took out a medicine jar from the side of the stove and took out the dregs of the medicine. He endured the bitterness and stuffed it into his mouth.
Halfway through, Jiang Feng's face turned pale, and his throat rolled, and he almost threw up.
Empress Lu watched silently. In the end, she couldn't help but turn around and sit down at the door again.
Her emotions were in turmoil, and for the first time, she felt uncomfortable.
……
The medicinal dregs were filled with bitterness, but when it entered his mouth, Jiang Feng willed it to remove the bitterness.
Although it tasted bland, it was not difficult to swallow.
Seeing Empress Lu leave, Jiang Feng smiled triumphantly.
Night gradually fell.
The temperature also became cold.
Empress Lu squinted her eyes and was resting when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from inside the room.
The door opened, and Jiang Feng stuck his head out, his eyes filled with concern.
"Granny, you should come in and sit. It's freezing outside.”
Hearing this, Empress Lu's heart sank and she slowly shook her head.
The seasons in the dream were the same as in reality. It was the transition between summer and autumn. The night was no longer as hot as before, but slightly cold.
Empress Lu remained unmoved and sat on the ground.
Jiang Feng looked at it for a while and then walked back into the house. When he came out again, he was carrying two pieces of torn clothes.
"Granny, it's getting cold. I'll cover you with these two clothes. Don't catch a cold.”
Empress Lu took the two pieces of clothing, her eyes slightly surprised. Jiang Feng walked into the night and came to a field not far away. When he came back, he was already holding a bundle of weeds that looked as tall as a person. He had placed it neatly at the door.
Jiang Feng walked back and forth a few times, and only stopped when he saw that the weeds had thickened.
At this moment, he was sweating profusely and panting, but he revealed a gentle smile.
Empress Lu was a little dazed as she secretly clenched her fists.
"Granny, you can sleep here. It will be warmer.”
Empress Lu lowered her head and quietly lay on the weeds.
Unlike the beds in the palace, this pile of weeds was very uncomfortable, and one could smell a faint smell of grass on it.
However, for some reason, Empress Lu slept soundly that night.
