Sign in to foster husband in the fugitive desert

Chapter 26

After breakfast and feeding the chickens, Lu Changge went up the mountain with a hatchet.

Today I'm going into the mountains to pick some saponins, and chop some firewood to go back.

The drought started in early June and there has been no rain for more than three months now.

The surrounding weeds are not moistened by rain, and the leaves have begun to turn yellow and dry, let alone others.

The wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain have been picked by the villagers, and their current range of activities has begun to move up the mountain.

Lu Changge chose a path that no one cares about to go up the mountain.

After walking for a long time, I finally found a honey locust tree.

Saponins can be used to wash hair and clothes, and can be stored for a long time after drying.

So Lu Changge planned to pick everything he could get.

He didn't bring Erto here today, so he could only do it himself.

After picking the bottom ones, Lu Changge climbed up the tree and continued picking.

An hour later, the saponins were almost harvested, and Lu Changge started looking for dead trees to chop firewood.

It took four piles of firewood to cut down in a row before stopping.

Lu Changge pulled the vines on the side, tied them into a bundle, and put them into the system space.

Then continue to walk around the mountain.

The trees around the mountain are tall and lush, and there are few short and crooked trees.

The source of firewood in the village is basically at the foot of the mountain and its periphery.

In addition to naturally dead trees, bushes can also be used as firewood.

Cut the bushes and put them there for ten days and half a month before harvesting them.

In addition, the branches that come out of the big tree can also be used.

No matter how bad it is, there are dry leaves, vines and naturally fallen branches.

Lu Changge found two more dead trees, cut them neatly into sections, tied them up and put them into the system space.

The whole process runs like flowing water, and it is very handy.

The saponins are picked, and the firewood is almost as well.

Lu Changge put away his things and was about to leave. At this moment, there seemed to be a vague cry for help from a distance.

And the voice is somewhat familiar.

Lu Changge stopped where he was, spreading his psychic abilities outward.

Determine the location and walk decisively in that direction.

The closer you get, the clearer the cry for help.

Of course, this is for Lu Changge who has psychic powers.

If he didn't go into the mountain this morning, he would come in the afternoon.

This person is afraid that there is no way to save him.

The source of the sound is down a steep slope.

Lu Changge used a hatchet to cut down the surrounding weeds and shrubs, then found the right foothold, and jumped directly to the bottom of the slope in a few consecutive jumps.

After lifting the dense weeds, Lu Changge saw clearly who fell down.

"Li Tugen, wake up." Lu Changge patted the child's face to wake him up.

Li Tugen, whose consciousness had begun to blur, heard the voice and opened his eyes with difficulty.

"Lu...Uncle Lu?"

"Don't sleep yet, I'll take you down the mountain." Lu Changge said, picking up the child.

After picking him up, Lu Changge discovered that the pants on his right leg were stained with blood, but it was already dry.

Lu Changge unfolded his psychic powers and found another way down the mountain.

In order to prevent people from falling asleep, he could only find topics to talk to the children.

"Did you enter the mountain yesterday?"

Li Tugen's body was very cold, and one could tell from the first touch that he must have stayed in the mountains all night.

"Hmm... came in the afternoon, and was... pushed downhill by a wild boar..." Li Tugen held on, but he didn't dare to fall asleep.

"Your grandfather knew you went up the mountain?" Lu Changge asked again.

Li Tugen once went into the mountain and was hit on the head by a wild boar.

Li Tugen was only six years old at that time, and fortunately, it was a wild boar cub who gave him the favor, so he was not seriously injured.

It was also Lu Changge who passed by that time and brought him back.

Afterwards, Li Tugen's grandfather forbade him to enter the mountain.

"No... I didn't tell Grandpa."

Lu Changge was looking for the nearest path, and soon they reached the foot of the mountain.

Lu Changge quickened his pace and brought him to the old doctor in the village.

The old man in the village, surnamed Chen, used to be the door-to-door son-in-law. Later, his wife and children died of illness, and now he is the only one left in the family.

"Doctor Chen, please show him his legs." Lu Changge directly carried him into the room and put him on the wooden bed.

"What's his situation?" Old Doctor Chen asked directly, without saying anything nonsense.

"Yesterday afternoon when I entered the mountain, I was pushed downhill by a wild boar, and I lay down in the mountain all night." Lu Changge explained the situation.

"My right leg is broken, I need to apply medicine, and I still have a low-grade fever. It's a total of seven taels of silver." After the inspection, old doctor Chen straightened up and looked at Lu Changge.

Before Lu Changge could speak, Li Tugen, who was lying on the bed, struggled to refuse, "No...no need to apply medicine, I'll just lie down for a few days...it will be fine."

"If you don't use medicine, your legs won't be perfect, and you'll be a cripple in the future." Old Doctor Chen looked at Li Tugen and said expressionlessly.

"No..." Li Tugen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Changge.

"Treat his leg, and prescribe some medicine, and I will pay for it."

"Uncle Lu, I..." Li Tugen opened his mouth to refuse.

But just halfway through speaking, seeing Uncle Lu's eyes looking over, he subconsciously stopped his voice.

Old doctor Chen saw that they had made a decision, so he went directly to another room to get the herbs.

Crush the herbs and bring them in.

Help him fix the bones first, then apply herbs and wrap the cloth belt.

Then take three boards and fix them, and then tie them with cloth ropes.

In Lu Changge's opinion, this treatment method is too crude, and he even doubts whether it is feasible.

But he had no choice but to believe.

After all, Lu Changge was rarely injured before, and he could be healed quickly with wood-type abilities.

Old doctor Chen does not provide accommodation for recuperation.

After taking care of his right leg, Lu Changge left with the child.

It was already noon. In the past, people in the village should have come back from the field with farm tools on their shoulders.

Now the field is desolate, and it has become a return from the foot of the mountain.

Everyone carries a basket or half a basket of wild vegetables in their hands.

Or wild chestnuts and sweet potatoes.

Lu Changge passed by with Li Tugen in his arms, and the villagers who came back from the foot of the mountain naturally saw it too.

"Tuwa, what's wrong with your leg?"

"Broken."

There are no adults in Li Tugen's family. His grandfather is a carpenter but he doesn't work every day.

So the presence of their family in the village is not strong.

Therefore, the villagers just asked casually.

The two of them are very close.

Lu Changge took Li Tugen back, and Xiao Tuanzi, who was playing outside his house, saw his father from a distance.

Strange why Daddy didn't come home, Xiaotuanzi shouted and ran over there, "Daddy, where are you going?"

"Daddy will go back later."

Lu Changge replied to Tuanzi, and then pushed open the door of Li Tugen's house.

After returning home, Li Tugen couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a coma.

After entering, Lu Changge didn't see Li Tugen's grandfather, but Li Xiaomin and her younger brothers and sisters.

Li Xiaomin, who was waiting in the yard, heard the sound of the door opening and looked up.

Seeing that it was Uncle Lu who came in, he was stunned, "Uncle Lu, why did you bring the earth baby back..."

Hearing her question, Lu Changge frowned, "How do you say?"

"Yesterday, it was dark and the earth boy didn't come back. Grandpa Li carried the dog egg to my house, and then he went up the mountain to find..."

Li Xiaomin explained in a low voice.

Just now she thought that Grandpa Li had brought the Tuwa back.

After listening to Li Xiaomin's explanation, Lu Changge clicked his tongue.

Headache.

The two of them are so close, can't they go over and shout if something happens?

Lu Changge put the child on the bed and let Li Xiaomin take care of it here by the way.

Seeing Uncle Lu hurriedly preparing to leave, Li Xiaomin hurriedly asked, "Uncle Lu, are you going into the mountains to find Grandpa Li?"

"Ah."

Lu Changge's figure quickly disappeared outside the door, but Li Xiaomin still heard it.

"Sister Xiao Min, what's wrong with brother?" Goudan, two years old, asked in confusion when he saw his brother lying on the bed.

"Your brother is fine, just wake up."

"Where's grandpa? Why isn't grandpa coming home?"

Goudan still remembered that his grandpa took him to sister Xiao Min's house last night, and then grandpa left.

"Your grandfather will be back later."

Li Xiaomin here is coaxing the dog. After Lu Changge went out, he took Erteng and went up the mountain non-stop.

Before leaving, I didn't forget to mention something to Tuanzi, "Duanzi, Daddy and Erteng went up the mountain to tell your father-in-law."

"it is good!"

As soon as he entered the mountain, Er Teng found a hidden place and directly planted his roots into the soil.

Then the vines grew wildly quickly, and rustled around the ground.

Lu Changge stood aside and waited.

Not long after, Erto said: [Master, I found it, it's in the northwest direction. ]

"how is the situation?"

[Passes out, breathing weakly. ]

"Bring it here directly."

As soon as Lu Changge finished speaking, Er Teng's stretched vines began to retract.

Not long after, a big vine cocoon was pulled back.

The vine receded, revealing an old man with a gray complexion.

Lu Changge picked him up and went to Old Doctor Chen's house.

"Why are you here again?" Old doctor Chen was arranging the herbs and didn't see the person on Lu Changge's back.

"This is the grandfather of the child just now. Last night, I went to the mountain to find someone. I lay down in the mountain all night. Doctor Chen will show me."

Lu Changge directly carried the man into the house and put him down.

When old doctor Chen heard it, he hurried in.

After a long time, Old Doctor Chen sighed: "I'll prescribe a few medicines, and see if he can survive these few days."

Lu Changge looked at the blue-gray old man lying on the bed, with no expression on his face.

"The medicine is better, I will pay the money"

"Row."

Not long after, Lu Changge took the medicine and left behind his back.

Not long after Li Tugen fell into a coma, he woke up soon.

He fell asleep a few times in the mountains last night, so he's not very sleepy now.

After Li Tugen woke up, just as Li Xiaomin explained the situation to him, Lu Changge came in behind his back.

"grandfather!"

Li Tugen saw his grandfather on Uncle Lu's back and struggled to sit up.

Just as she was about to get out of bed, Li Xiaomin stopped her.

"Don't move, you can't get out of bed right now."

Lu Changge put down the old man on his back and let him lie next to Li Tugen.

"Uncle Lu, how is my grandfather?" Li Tugen asked anxiously.

Just as Miss Min Min learned that his grandfather went to the mountain to look for him last night, she saw Uncle Lu come in with his grandfather on his back.

Li Tugen regrets it now.

If he hadn't gone into the mountain last night, his grandpa would have been fine.

"Not very good." Lu Changge chose to hide it without seeing Li Tugen as a child, and said truthfully.

"This is medicine, take it in the morning, at noon and in the evening. Whether your grandfather can survive it depends on these few days."

"How could it be..." Li Tugen said with terrified eyes and pale face.

"What did you go into the mountain yesterday?" Lu Changge asked directly without comforting him.

"I... I heard that there is a field of wild sweet potatoes in the mountains."

"Is there no food at home?" Lu Changge asked again.

"...Hmm." Li Tugen lowered his head.

"If you don't have food, you won't borrow it from others?"

"Other people's homes don't have extra food, so no one will borrow it..." Li Tugen whispered.

Now every household in the village is tightening their belts to live. They can't have enough to eat, and no one will lend food.

"I'm not human?"

Hearing Uncle Lu's words, Li Tugen thought about it, not knowing how to answer.

The atmosphere was very silent at this time, Li Xiaomin who was standing aside looked at Uncle Lu and Tuwa, not knowing what to say.

Then, she watched Uncle Lu leave without saying anything.

"...Miss Xiao Min, is Uncle Lu angry?" Li Tugen was at a loss.

"It should be." Li Xiaomin couldn't tell whether Uncle Lu was angry or not.

Then he picked up a pack of medicine, "I'm going to decoct the medicine, you lie down and don't move."

"Okay, thank you Miss Xiao Min."

Li Tugen sat on the bed, looking at his grandfather lying on the bed with weak breathing, his heart was full of despair.

How to do?

He didn't want grandpa to leave.

If it wasn't for him, grandpa would still be fine now.

Was he really a scourge?

Just as Li Tugen was getting more and more desperate, a voice suddenly sounded in his head.

[Ding——It was detected that the host's mood reached the standard, and the planting sign-in system was successfully bound]

"Who?!"

……

When Lu Changge returned, his wife just came out of the kitchen.

Behind him was Dateng who had turned into a ten-year-old rattan man, holding three or four plates in his hand.

"Daddy, you're back!"

Xiao Tuanzi was originally walking behind Da Teng, but when he saw his father coming back, he ran over immediately.

"Ah."

"Tuanzi said that you just came back carrying the earth baby, what happened to him?" Su Qingyun asked casually.

"Li Tugen went to the mountain to look for food last night but didn't come back. His grandfather went to find someone, but he and his grandson lay down in the mountain all night." Lu Changge said succinctly.

"Ah?!" Su Qingyun said in surprise, "How is that man doing now? Have you found them all?"

"It's been found, that kid broke his right leg, and his grandfather's condition is not very good." Lu Changge shook his head.

"It's so serious..." Su Qingyun frowned, "Master, you can bring some food over there later."

"Ah."

After eating, Lu Changge brought fifteen catties of rice, three cabbages and five catties of potatoes.

There are too many eggs in the house, so I added [-] more eggs.

Since Lu Changge lived in Lijia Village, the people he has had the most contact with here are Li Tugen's family and Li Xiaomin's family.

Of course, the biggest reason is that they are often hired to help with farming and harvesting food.

But it is undeniable that Lu Changge's attitude towards them is different from his attitude towards other people in the village.

Li Tugen's house

Li Tugen, who was still desperate and blaming himself, saw Uncle Lu come with something, his eyes were red.

"You don't need to return these, let your brother come over and shout if something happens."

Lu Changge is not good at sensationalism, so he put down his things and prepared to leave.

However, as soon as he turned around, he was stopped by a child.

"Uncle Lu... I have something to do right now." Li Tugen hesitated for a moment, then whispered.

"Huh?" Lu Changge turned around.

"I... have a talking monster inside my head."

After Li Tugen said it, there was also fear in his eyes, "Uncle Lu, am I dying?"

Lu Changge: "?"

Planting sign-in system: "???"

What the hell?

At this time, the detector of the main character in the storybook beeped.

[Dididi——detected the protagonist of the storybook world, and began to scan the basic information of the protagonist: Li Tugen, bound to the planting sign-in system, the plot is going...here...the energy is insufficient, and the plot direction cannot be scanned. 】

Lu Changge:? ? ?

black question mark face.jpg

[System, do you know this planting sign-in system? ] Lu Changge called out the system and asked.

But what surprised him was that the system that had been calm for Xianyu actually jumped.

[Planting... Who knows this kind of system? ! ]

However, as soon as the system finished speaking, Lu Changge heard a soft and cute voice.

[husband--]

[Wolch! ] The system was so frightened that it burst into foul language.

[Oh Huo...] Lu Changge raised his eyebrows, showing an expression of watching a play.

Yes, even the system has a wife these days.

Already so curly?

[Husband, stick it~] The soft and cute voice sounded again.

[roll roll roll!do not bother me! ] The system is abnormally irritable at this time.

[I said... system, although you are not human, you can't scold your own daughter-in-law. ] Lu Changge persuaded him earnestly.

Of course, it would be better if the expression on his face was more restrained.

[That's right, I'm so heartbroken~] The Ruanmeng system responded.

[Host, if you don’t understand, please stop making trouble! ] The system said violently.

[Okay, get out. ] Just like it has a wife.

As Lu Changge said, he directly pulled the system out of his brain.

He has to go home to wash his wife's hair, so he doesn't have time to eat these two traditional dog food here.

system:"!!!"

What the hell? !

Its host can actually pull it out directly?

This is not right!

"This is not a monster. It should have something that can cure your grandfather." Lu Changge explained to Li Tugen.

"Really?!" Li Tugen heard, his eyes lit up.

"Well, try to communicate with it."

Lu Changge left after finishing speaking, and he didn't forget to say something to the system before leaving.

[Tong, I'll give you a few days off, don't thank me. ]

[Thank you for the hammer! ]

[Thank you husband's host, you are such a good person! ]

Grumpy and soft voices sounded at the same time.

Forget it, let's give it half a month's vacation, so that it can work better after dealing with the relationship problem.

Lu Changge secretly decided to extend the system's vacation to half a month.

When I got home, Erto had already boiled hot water, and the saponin shampoo had been smashed and washed out.

I have to say that Erto, a little kitchen expert, is quite easy to use.

Xiaotuanzi's hair is short, so Lu Changge washes Xiaotuanzi's hair first.

Scoop out two scoops of hot water, then add cold water to warm up.

At this time, Xiaotuanzi also changed into a short-sleeved shirt and came out.

The little knot on his head has been untied, and the soft and thin hair hangs down naturally.

Lu Changge sat on the bench, picked up Tuanzi and laid it on his lap, and then supported Tuanzi's neck and back of the head with his left hand.

Scooped some water with his right hand to wet his hair, and asked, "Is the water hot?"

Tuanzi shrank his neck, "Neran..."

"Add some cold water." Lu Changge ordered.

Hearing this, Er Teng quickly scooped up half a spoonful of cold water into it.

After mixing the warm water, Lu Changge wet the hair of Tuanzi first.

Then get some soap locust water on your hands, rub it into bubbles, and apply the bubbles to your hair.

Xiao Tuanzi was lying on his back facing the sky, and Er Teng stretched out a few leaves to cover his eyes.

It doesn't take long for the dumpling to wash your hair.

Soon, the hair was washed.

"Rinse with water."

[okay! ] Er Teng stretched out another vine, scooped up half a scoop of warm water and carefully poured it on the hair of the dumpling.

Be careful not to touch your ears.

After rinsing off the bubbles and wiping them briefly, Lu Changge put down the dumpling.

When Lu Changge remixed two buckets of warm water and saponin shampoo was ready.

Su Qingyun happened to help Tuanzi dry her hair.

Naturally, Su Qingyun couldn't lie on Lu Changge's lap like a dumpling.

He has a recliner for washing his hair, and a black eye mask to shade him from the sun.

Lie down and put on the blindfold.

After everything was ready, Lu Changge began to wash his wife's hair.

First, wet your hair.

Then, lather the soap locust water and apply it to the hair.

After the bubbles are spread evenly, then gently massage and rub with fingertips.

Washing time should not be too long.

When you're done washing, rinse out the bubbles from your hair.

After the hair is washed, it has to be dried.

After washing the daughter-in-law and the dumpling, the next step is himself.

It is much simpler and rougher for Lu Changge to wash his hair by himself.

Wet the hair, rub the bubbles and apply it, scratch with ten fingers, rinse off the bubbles, and it's done.

After washing his hair, Lu Changge sat on a small bench and asked his wife to brush his hair.

At this time, the system came back.

[Host, I'm back...] The system's voice sounded weak.

Lu Changge closed his eyes to enjoy his wife's service, while caring about his partner.

[What's wrong?Being squeezed by your wife? ]

[Will you pay attention to the impact?I'm still a minor, don't run the wheel on my face! ]

[Okay, the rule of puppy love. ]
