22: Chapter 22: Blood Drop_1 22: Chapter 22: Blood Drop_1 Four pieces of at, Yang Ruxin had grabbed them according to the number of her younger brothers and sisters.
Seeing the little brother and sister like this, both Erni and Sanni felt awkward about eating the at slices.
“I don’t like at,” Sanni said, shoving a piece of potato into her mouth.
“One piece each,” Yang Ruxin commanded authoritatively.
“Only by eating well and keeping healthy can we follow big sister and make a lot of money…” Saying this, she directly stuffed the at slices into Sini and Yang Rufeng’s mouths, then glanced at Erni and Sanni, “You two don’t need to stuff your mouths, do you?”
Erni wanted to say sothing, but Sanni had already picked up the at slice: “Fine, I’ll eat up and then help you make money.” Then she stuffed it into her mouth and chewed vigorously.
Erni swallowed, unable to resist the temptation of the at slice, and finally stuffed it into her mouth.
Yang Ruxin imdiately smiled, feeling inexplicably very content.
Sini and brother Rufeng chewed on the at slices happily, their cheeks puffing out like little mice, as if they were savoring the most delicious treat in the world.
anwhile, Yang Ruxin placed the other half of the vegetable bun on the table.
Xun Hui was still asleep, so there was no way to feed her.
She could only wet her lips with a cloth dipped in water…
“Big sister, go and take a rest…” After lunch, Yang Erni saw Yang Ruxin looking a bit sleepy and hurriedly spoke, “I’ll watch over mother.
It’s fine…”
“Alright, I am really feeling a bit drowsy…” Yang Ruxin didn’t refuse.
It was such a hot day, and she was a patient herself.
But she had been matching wits with those old folks, and really did feel sleepy.
However, she didn’t want to sleep, but rather to find a place where no one would disturb her to examine the odd blood mole that had suddenly appeared on her palm because it felt as if there were sothing in her palm, very weird indeed.
She then stood up, “I’ll go wash my face by the river and bring back a bucket of water…” As soon as alti was over, Yang Anshi would lock the kitchen, and the water tank inside the house was inaccessible.
Under the eaves there was indeed another water tank, but it usually just collected rainwater.
It was fine for washing feet or faces, but it certainly wasn’t drinkable.
The residents of the nearby village all drank water from the Xiaocang River; none of the households had their own wells.
Erni said nothing, as indeed there was no water left in their ho’s bucket.
Carrying the broken bucket, Yang Ruxin went out the front door.
To avoid encountering anyone, she headed to the small river behind the village, guided by her mory.
Few people went there this season, since there were no fields beyond the village.
Yang Ruxin sat down under a large willow tree, spread her right hand, and saw the droplet of blood was still there in her palm, appearing even brighter than before, like a ruby embedded in the flesh.
“When did this thing appear?” Yang Ruxin frowned, staring at her palm.
She felt it with her hand, found nothing unusual, just the sensation of skin.
“If this was a real gemstone, I could dig it out and exchange it for so silver to spend, but…” She was muttering to herself when she suddenly felt a flash before her eyes.
When Yang Ruxin could see her surroundings clearly again, her eyes and mouth imdiately widened in shock.
What…
what was this situation?
She had sohow inexplicably found herself in a room, a strange one that had nothing in it, no doors, no windows, no lights, yet it was very bright and felt terribly comfortable, neither hot nor cold.
Could it be…
She looked down at the cinnabar in her palm.
Had this given her a space of her own?
