Chapter 375 Yingxiang? Wake up!
It took a full quarter of an hour for everyone to move all the things into the yard.
"Children, come on, wash your hands, drink some water and take a rest!"
A woman brought a basin of water and placed it in front of Xinghua and the other children. She and several other women brought a table from the side room, took out large bowls brought from various households, and poured some boiled water for the children.
"We still have some steamed buns. Let's heat them up and eat them tonight. They are a bit stale. Let's make some porridge and drink it to warm up our bodies!"
"Okay, I'll go make porridge!"
"I'll go home and get the steamer to heat up the buns!"
"Then let's go get some more firewood!"
The women let the children and the elderly sit down and rest while they all started to prepare dinner.
"Xinghua, come and kowtow to your ancestors, so that they know you are back safely!"
Grandma Xinghua opened the door to the main room and spoke to Xinghua and the other girls.
In the past, women were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, but now there are only women of all ages left in the entire village, and they don’t care about those rules anymore.
The girls obediently entered the house, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed devoutly to the tablets of their ancestors!
"I hope the ancestors will bless these kids to live in peace in the future. When the world is not in chaos, I will find live-in sons-in-law for them. Our village will not be extinct. You in heaven must bless them well!"
Grandma Xinghua kowtowed in front of the tablet while talking incessantly.
Xinghua raised her head and looked at the tablets. Her eyes blurred and the familiar faces from the past appeared before her again.
Can the ancestors really protect them? If they are still alive, why don’t they protect the villagers?
You can’t rely on your ancestors!
The benefactor was right. They must learn skills, protect their remaining relatives, and live a good life. It is better to rely on themselves than on others.
They must live their lives well so that their loved ones in heaven can rest assured!
As for the live-in sons-in-law that grandma mentioned, well, who would want people like them who have lost their innocence?
She looked at her grandmother who was still praying for their ancestors to bless them, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it, and all the words she wanted to say turned into a sigh.
"Yingxiang? Wake up!"
"This child has fainted, take her inside first!"
"Yes, her mouth is all chapped. Let's take her inside and give her some water first!"
Xinghua and ten other girls had just followed their grandmother out of the ancestral hall when they heard a commotion at the gate of the courtyard.
They hurriedly took a few steps towards the courtyard gate and saw Fatty's mother coming in carrying the unconscious Yingxiang.
"Fatty, bring me a bowl of warm water!"
When Pang Ya heard her mother's instructions, she hurriedly ran to pour water.
Fatty Yaniang carried Yingxiang directly into the back house, which was two meters wide and four meters long. It was built with the money that the villagers had saved for many years. If there was a situation where heavy snow collapsed the houses, everyone would live here.
This house is built very solidly.
Earlier, when the women returned to the village, they brought all the mats, mattresses and quilts they could find from each household and spread them on the ground.
They planned to live here until their benefactor came to find them. They would be the only women left in the village, so they would be able to take care of them if anything happened.
After Fatty Ya'niang put Yingxiang on the bed, Xinghua covered Yingxiang with a quilt. Her clothes were really thin.
Just now she touched Yingxiang's hand, and it suddenly felt cold!
"Mom, the water is here!"
Fatty came in hurriedly, holding a bowl of water. Although she walked in a hurry, she held the bowl very steadily.
"Give it to me quickly!"
Pang Ya's mother let Yingxiang sit in her arms, took the water handed over by Pang Ya, and carefully fed Yingxiang.
Fortunately, although Yingxiang fainted, she still knew how to swallow.
After drinking half a bowl of water, Yingxiang still did not wake up.
"Come on, let's rub her hands and feet to warm them up!"
Fatty's mother carefully put Yingxiang down, tucked the quilt for her, touched her cold forehead, checked her hands and feet, and spoke to the women who gathered around her.
The women immediately rubbed their hands together to warm them up, and then placed them on Yingxiang's forehead, hands and feet.
After the temperature of their hands dropped, they rubbed their hands together vigorously again, and when they were warm, they put them on Yingxiang, trying to warm her up quickly.
After rubbing for a while, Yingxiang's body finally warmed up under the quilt.
But my forehead and feet were still cold.
