Chapter 57 Liu Shu
"Eat slowly, eat slowly. Hey, little girl, don't worry, there's more here."
Living on the third floor of Building 21, Yueliang Community, Grandpa Jiang’s wife, Granny Su, looked kindly at the little girl who was stuffing the steamed bun into her mouth.
She is thin and small, with a baby face and eyes that seem to show no emotion.
Because he stuffed the food too fast, his mouth made a lot of noises, which made Grandma Su vaguely think of the hamster that her granddaughter had raised before.
Although she looked gentle, she moved very quickly, stuffing mouthful after mouthful into her mouth, as if she had not eaten for a long time.
It’s rare to see people eating steamed buns with such enthusiasm these days.
Wearing a dirty Hanfu covered in mud, it looked like he had rolled in a mud pit.
There was mud on her face just now, and Grandma Su took a face towel and wiped it clean for her.
Granny Su, who had lived in the city for many years, had no idea where this little girl came from.
She said her name was Liu Shu.
But not the tree of trees.
She was a little worried: "Little girl, did something happen to you? Tell your mother-in-law. If the situation is not right, we will accompany you to call the police."
In this situation, Granny Su could only think that the little girl in front of her was locked up or imprisoned, which was why she looked so miserable.
Although it has been safer in recent years, such things still happen.
It’s just that this little girl is amazing. She actually knows acupuncture. After two needles, her husband who had heatstroke woke up.
The only part of her body that was cleanest was the bag containing the needles, which was not stained by any mud.
Liu Shu, who was chewing a steamed bun, raised his head, with a hint of confusion in his cold eyes: "Call the police?"
"Yes." Granny Su thought she hadn't thought of calling the police: "Were you locked up by someone? Did you manage to escape?"
People watch a lot of TV when they get old, and Grandma Su was having a lot of thoughts in her mind.
Liu Shu listened, carefully distinguished, and then shook his head: "I am not imprisoned."
She came here in a trance and thought she had come to the underworld after death, but it always felt that it was not quite right.
The sunlight is too dazzling. There shouldn't be such light in the underworld.
Passersby around were screaming, and Liu Shu saw the people gathered together.
She originally wanted to go over and ask what was going on, but then she saw Uncle Jiang lying on the ground.
The lips are pale. In such weather, it is obvious that he has sunstroke.
It is a doctor's nature to save lives and heal the wounded. Liu Shu did not hesitate at the time. He squatted down and gave Uncle Jiang two injections.
But people these days rarely see such a simple and rough treatment method, especially since Liu Shu was piercing his forehead, there were bursts of exclamations from people around him.
"Hey, where did you come from, little girl? Why are you stabbing someone's head?"
"Is this acupuncture treatment? Are you a Chinese doctor?"
Some people recognized it but were skeptical.
"How can you just randomly stab someone? Who will be held responsible if something goes wrong? Why don't you call 120 and send them to the hospital right away..."
Amid the noisy atmosphere, Liu Shu pursed her lips. If the family members around her were so ungrateful when she was treating a patient before, she would have already turned hostile and taken action.
But this is a strange place.
Her instinctive vigilance prevented her from doing anything unnecessary.
A minute later, Uncle Jiang woke up.
Liu Shu naturally explained how to rest and what to drink to relieve the pain after returning home, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she found that everyone around her was looking at her blankly.
"What's that thing you're mumbling about?"
"It seems to be the name of a medicine. It sounds familiar, but I haven't heard of it before."
"Oh, this girl is really a Chinese doctor. She has some skills..."
"But why is she wearing such dirty clothes? Where did she go to dig a hole?"
"Who knows? These are the trends among young girls now. Wearing Chinese costumes, doing cosplay, and doing 2D stuff are all things we don't understand."
"That's what they call fashion. You're old and can't keep up with the times!"
They spoke too fast, and because of the dialect, Liu Shu found that these people didn't really understand what he was saying.
I don't really understand what they are saying.
What they wear is also very strange...
It was not until Granny Su came and expressed her gratitude to Liu Shu that she insisted on taking her home to thank her.
Then, Grandma Su found that Liu Shu had not eaten anything, so she brought her a large plate of steamed buns and fresh side dishes.
Liu Shu, who usually had no emotions, was shocked for the first time.
Because she knew very well how precious white flour buns were.
Granny Su was still rubbing her hands: "I just steamed this bun at noon. If you don't think it tastes good, I'll order takeout for you. Or I'll go out and buy some vegetables and fry them for you. Do you want some spareribs?"
Liu Shu twitched his lips, not understanding the deeper meaning of these words for the time being, and started to eat his steamed bun.
She was indeed hungry, so she hid in a mud pit to escape from her pursuers. She endured three days and three nights without eating anything or drinking a drop of water.
The ones who can survive are probably those who practice martial arts and have strong internal strength to hold on.
When Liu Shu took the steamed bun into his mouth, he was stunned by its fluffy texture and slightly sweet but not greasy taste.
Steamed buns with sugar.
Sugar is also a rare commodity.
Did she save the master of some wealthy family?
But looking at their houses, it doesn't seem like that...
Granny Su saw her pause and said with a smile, "My steamed buns taste good, don't they? I specially added Wangzai milk, which children like. My granddaughter loves the buns I make the most. She also likes to eat them with condensed milk."
Perhaps Liu Shu's appearance made Grandma Su feel that she was like her own granddaughter, and she immediately showed some kind and loving care to Liu Shu in front of her.
Before they knew it, they were talking about some family matters, but Liu Shu didn't respond much.
Granny Su thought Liu Shu's behavior was not normal, so she asked the question just now.
Hearing Liu Shu's answer, Granny Su was a little puzzled: "Then what about you..."
After all, it was someone else's business, so Granny Su didn't ask any more questions. She just said, "Your clothes are dirty, change them and I'll wash them for you. You can wear my granddaughter's skirt. She goes to college outside and rarely comes back once a year."
Just as Liu Shu finished saying this and was about to answer, there was a knock on the door outside.
Granny Su stood up and went to open the door.
The door opened and it was Zhong Mingjuan, the neighbor downstairs.
Zhong Mingjuan is in her forties, slightly plump, a typical housewife, and particularly gossipy.
On weekdays, I like to sit with the old ladies in the community and give advice on their business.
He can ruin the reputation of anyone in the community just by chatting and laughing.
The only one who escaped from her was Li Sui.
Zhong Mingjuan was cracking melon seeds and looked into the room. Seeing that the girl in Hanfu was still there, she immediately winked at Granny Su and said, "Auntie Su, have you checked the group? This matter is related to the demon king on the sixth floor. This little girl seems to be her relative. She just asked me about it. I guess she will be here soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a panting sound.
"Juanzi, what are you doing here?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Zhong Mingjuan shuddered, and Liu Shu in the room suddenly raised his head.
