Seeing the two little ones jumping out of the yard, Nanzhi quickly hid aside.

She didn't want the two children to have any psychological burden because of her.

Only after the two little guys jumped and walked away did he carry the chicks back home.

As soon as I entered the room, I found that Yuan Mo was subconsciously hiding something.

Seeing that she was stunned, Yuan Mo belatedly took out the books that the two kids brought.

Before, when he was at the Yuan family, every time he read books to kill time, he would be ridiculed by the Nan family.

They say he is a useless person, yet he is trying to imitate a scholar in reading.

Lying in bed, what's the point of knowing a lot of words...

Over time.

Yuan Mo has already formed muscle memory.

Whenever Nan came in when he was reading, he would subconsciously hide.

But now, the person in front of me is no longer the same person as before.

He took the book to the table and stopped being shy.

Seeing this, Nanzhi guessed the reason to some extent.

Without thinking much, he walked forward with the chicken in his arms.

I found him reading the Book of Songs.

She looked at Yuan Mo curiously, and Yuan Mo lowered his head slightly nervously.

I'm afraid she'll say the same thing as Nan did before...

but……

"You are reading the Book of Songs? Do you want to take part in the imperial examination?"

Yuan Mo raised his head in surprise, and did not answer her question, but asked:

"Are you literate?"

Then he secretly cursed himself for being stupid.

Since she knows medical skills, how could she not be able to read?

How can you read medical books and prescribe medicine if you can’t read?

Nanzhi knew that the original person could not read, so she did not blame him.

"Get to know each other a little bit."

Then he looked at the book on his desk and encouraged him wholeheartedly:

"If you are interested in taking the exam, now is a good opportunity! I will find a way to help you sign up. You should prepare well. Once your leg is healed, you can take part in next year's college entrance examination!"

Yuan Mo lowered his eyes and pondered again and again.

"Wait, let me talk about it after I can stand up..."

Nanzhi knew that he still didn't believe her, so she didn't force him.

She showed him her little chicken and then went out.

Worried that Yuan Mo would be hungry after the two kids snatched his breakfast, she prepared a lot of pastries for him and put them on the table.

So he was alone in the yard, building a fence around the chicks.

After working for a whole morning, looking at the dirt on her body, she packed up her clothes and prepared to go to the stream to wash them.

Before going out, I specifically asked Yuan Mo.

"Take off your underwear and I'll wash it for you."

Yuan Mo glanced at the clothes on her body and saw that she was holding a wooden basin in her hand.

Thinking that she had to treat his illness and do housework at the same time, it was really hard, so she said:

"I have nothing to do sitting here, so why don't I wash it?"

Nanzhi raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Then he laughed and said:

"There's no point in asking a patient to work. Your biggest task right now is to take good care of your health! Change your clothes quickly."

Yuan Mo hesitated for a moment, but finally did as he was told.

Nanzhi came to the stream with a wooden basin for washing clothes, and happened to see Wang Xiao'e also washing clothes.

As soon as he saw her, he greeted her warmly:

"Sister Nannie is here to wash clothes too! Come quickly, this stone is very flat!"

As soon as Nanzhi sat down, she heard her and a few old women gossiping about the villagers.

Nanzhi didn’t know the others and didn’t take it to heart.

When talking about Xiuhong, she inadvertently left her ears.

"My sister-in-law has been married to Wang Dazhi for more than three years, but she's still not pregnant... It's no wonder her mother-in-law is making things difficult for her!"

"That's right. People say there are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring! Even if Wang Dazhi loves her so much, it won't work if she doesn't have a baby..."

"That's right. I told her to go to town to see a doctor, but she refused to do so!"

Nanzhi was curious as she listened to Wang Xiaoe's gossip.

Come to think of it, Lin Xiuhong is her aunt, so why does she seem to be gloating over other people's misfortune?

After washing the two pieces of clothes in her hands, Nanzhi stopped chatting with them.

"Sister-in-law, you guys take your time washing, I'm done, I'll go home first!"

"You've finished washing so quickly! Let's chat for a while!"

"No, Yuan Mo is at home alone, I'm worried..."

Nanzhi made a few polite remarks and quickly left the gossip scene.

When I returned to the yard, I went to see the chicks first and threw a handful of millet into them.

Thinking of Wang Xiao'e's fuss, I laughed in my heart.

If Wang Xiao'e knew that she fed the chickens with millet...

She will definitely say that the tables, chairs and benches in her house are all made of gold!

After hanging up the clothes, Nanzhi came in to visit Yuanmo.

"Are you tired of sitting? Why don't you lie down and take a nap? You can have dinner when you wake up."

Yuan Mo looked at her red, icy hands, frowned, and responded in a low voice.

"Not urgent."

Although he said that, Nanzhi still blew on his hands to cool them down and helped him lie down.

"Your waist hasn't recovered yet. It's not good to sit for too long."

I tucked him in before returning to my room.

Lying in bed, I was thinking about whether I should get him a small animal to keep him company.

Otherwise, he would be so bored if she wasn't at home during the day!

Staying alone at home will make you mentally ill...

Yuan Mo lay on the bed and could no longer hear any sound.

He drifted off to sleep.

However, he didn’t drink the calming soup and had a nightmare again this time!

In the dream, Nan and Wang Erlai left.

Li thought he was unable to take care of himself and made the shed stink.

In a fit of rage, he asked Liu Daniu to throw him out of the house at night.

He dragged his numb legs and crawled for a long time before he barely found a haystack that could keep him warm.

But just as he was about to fall asleep, he was woken up by a wild dog.

The wild dog tore off a large piece of flesh from his leg.

He felt no pain!

The wild dog tried to bite his arm again, and he struggled to avoid it.

After pushing the wild dog away, he discovered that...

He was the one who robbed the stray dogs' den...

Seeing the wild dog still baring its teeth at him, he could only drag his hungry body and continue crawling forward...

"……Snapped!"

A crisp sound, accompanied by a fishy smell, woke Yuan Mo from his nightmare.

His intense heartbeat made his breathing quicken, and it took him a long time to calm down.

He raised his head and looked out the window, following the source of the stench.

Only then did I realize that it was already very dark.

Nanzhi was lifting her skirt and walking towards the gate to check the situation.

Apparently she didn't see anyone, so she came back soon.

I was picking up the rotten eggs thrown on the window frame when I saw that he had woken up.

"Did I wake you up? I wonder who is so wicked as to throw rotten eggs into the yard!"

Nanzhi cleaned the window carefully, then looked up and spoke to him.

"Lie down and I'll close the window."

The weather has been warmer these days, and Nanzhi keeps the windows open during the day, worried that Yuan Mo would be bored at home.

But when this happened, she was worried that Yuan Mo would be hurt.

After closing the window and entering the room, Nanzhi helped Yuan Mo sit up.

Set the small table for dinner.

But I'm still upset about what happened just now.

"The one who would do such a thing is either Li Xiufen or that widow Zhang from yesterday!"

While helping Yuan Mo peel shrimps, she was worried about the person who had just caused trouble.

Yuan Mo has become accustomed to the sumptuousness of every meal, and can accept anything Nanzhi takes out.

He listened to her words, thought for a moment, and spoke softly.

"It should be Zhang."

"Huh? How do you know it wasn't Li Xiufen?"

Yuan Mo looked at the sky outside which had already turned completely dark and shook his head.

"The Li family has always valued their reputation and would only instigate others, not take action themselves."

Otherwise, he would have been kicked out a year ago when he got into trouble.

Why wait until today to start a commotion under the pretext of curing an illness...
