green grass on the stream

On the second day, Qi Yanfan's spirit was already improved, but Ji Tingyu was still worried, so he went to the town specially.Qi Yanfan couldn't hold him back, so he let him go, and before leaving, he told the doctor not to tie him up if he thought it was all right.

Ji Tingyu came back a bit late, Qi Yanfan stood at the door stretching his neck and looked at the end of the road until Ji Tingyu's figure approached from far to near.

"Why are you standing here, is your body able to take it?" Ji Tingyu unloaded the bamboo basket, pulled him to sit on the bench.

"I'm fine, what did you buy?" Qi Yanfan asked curiously.

"I bought these for you. I asked the doctor about your symptoms. You need to take care of yourself. Here are millet, red dates, and lotus seeds. I will cook porridge for you later. I wanted to buy some mutton. Wen, entering the spleen and stomach meridian, warming the middle and warming down, it is most suitable for you, but I didn't find it this time, so I will look for it next time..."

Qi Yanfan kept nodding his head, facing Ji Tingyu who was so eloquent, his heart was bubbling with beauty.Ji Tingyu seemed to be more concerned about him than before when he knew that he would have been ill.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter every day, and the meat that Qi Yanfan lost had just been nourished by red dates, lotus seeds, millet porridge and various meat and vegetables in different patterns, but he lost a lot of weight in the bitter summer.

Walk a little forward along the water flow beside the house, and there is a flat land with a gentle slope, surrounded by several tall paulownia and pine trees.

Qi Yanfan took a walk and exercise here every day when he was bored. After observing for a few days, he made a bold decision: he wanted to dig a small pond here, so that he would not have to worry about enjoying the lotus, enjoying the cool air, and raising ducklings in the future.

Of course Ji Tingyu supported him unconditionally.

Every morning, when the weather was cool, the two took their tools and went to dig mud on the gentle slope.

Ji Tingyu first dug holes on both sides of the stream, and put the excavated soil into bamboo baskets.He waved the shovel, and after rolling up his sleeves, the bulging muscles on his arms followed his movements, which made Qi Yanfan envious.Even when it gets hot, Ji Tingyu will take off his clothes to cool off for a while, sweat dripping down his tanned back.

Whenever this happened, Qi Yanfan's eyes were so flustered that he didn't know where to put them. He hurriedly picked up the bamboo baskets filled with mud and dumped them around the yard, squatted down and slowly built them up, forming a low earth wall .

When the sun rose, the two of them rested.

Midsummer is hot, and when the sun rises, it is inevitable that the mountains will be as hot as a steamer.Ji Tingyu went to the bathroom to take a shower, Qi Yanfan was sitting in the room with no appetite, he hadn't decided what to eat for lunch yet.

The house has no windows, and all the doors are open, but there is still no trace of wind. He watched the dazzling sunlight outside the door dry and hard the soil, as if it was hissing and steaming.

Ji Tingyu came in quickly from outside the house, his hair was still covered with water, and the dripping drops of water fell on the ground and splashed fine dust.He looked at the listless Qi Yanfan and asked, "Is it hot?"

Qi Yanfan nodded, the sweat on his forehead slid down his face to his pointed chin.

Ji Tingyu grabbed his wrist and pulled him up, took the bench in one hand, and said, "Let's go, find a cool place."

It is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, Ji Tingyu put the bench in the shade of the tree by the water, let Qi Yanfan sit down, twisted the handkerchief and wiped his sweaty head.

"feelling better?"

Qi Yanfan took the fresh young cucumber washed in the stream from Ji Tingyu, and saw Ji Tingyu cut open a white-skinned melon, removed the seeds with a knife, and the slightly transparent melon gave off a sweet fragrance. Even the dripping juice is sticky and full of sugar.

Qi Yanfan took a bite dazedly, double images almost appeared in front of his eyes, he felt that he might have a bit of heat stroke, and he really couldn't bear the heat without the air conditioner.

"I'm a little dizzy." He said, "Maybe I'll be fine after a while."

Ji Tingyu sat beside him, fanning him with a cattail fan in his hand: "Have you been in poor health before, and you found that you are easily tired before?"

Qi Yanfan put his head on his shoulder and said, "I don't know, but I fainted once before." This time refers to the moment when he first wore it, his original body was as weak as a soft-legged shrimp.

Ji Tingyu was thoughtful when he heard the words.

In the next few days, Qi Yanfan felt much better, but Ji Tingyu forbade him to do heavy work and had to stay in the shade.

Fortunately, there is not much work left in the small pond, and a few more shovel streams can be dug to flow into the hole dug before.

Ji Tingyu buried a few sections of lotus root bought from the village yesterday and some aquatic plants caught in the water into the soil at the bottom of the pond.Then the stream was dug, and the pits on both sides were dug through.

Qi Yanfan watched the trickle flow into the small pond, slowly sinking to the bottom, and then slowly, slowly climbing up, and his heart was filled with an unspeakable sense of satisfaction.He watched Ji Tingyu wading in the muddy water, scooping up the mud from the last shovel, and stretched out his hand to pull him up.

The water in the pond was soon full, and the overflowing water flowed into the original stream bed from the gap specially left below, and rushed down the mountain.

Ji Tingyu took a bamboo raft and stuck it in the gap, and threw a few water chestnut plants into it.Although the pond is small, it is a living pond.

Ji Tingyu said: "At that time, we can keep a few fish in it."

Qi Yanfan teased him: "That must be a big fish, otherwise they would all have to escape through the cracks."

The dish at noon is the lotus pond stir-fry that is suitable for the occasion.Qi Yanfan took the extra lotus root segments and water chestnuts, soaked a few dried fungus left in the spring, added a handful of beans, and quickly stir-fried them together in the pot. It was served.

Green beans, white lotus root slices and water chestnuts, black fungus, all tasted crisp and crisp, with plenty of water, Qi Yanfan ate a lot even if he had a poor appetite.

Living in the mountains is good for everything, but the mosquitoes are really annoying.Qi Yanfan didn't know how many times he was woken up by mosquitoes tonight.No matter how good the mentality is usually, anyone will be irritable if they don't sleep well at night.

He kicked his feet, scratched his stung arm, and felt a tingling pain. It turned out that he had scratched it at some point, probably in his sleep.

"Did you sleep well?"

Ji Tingyu's voice came from behind.The two have been sleeping on the same head since their last illness.Ji Tingyu didn't mention it, Qi Yanfan was willing and naturally he didn't say anything first.

"Mosquito bites."

In the darkness, Qi Yanfan heard a rustling sound, Ji Tingyu seemed to wake up, then his pillow sank, and a cool breeze flowed from head to toe and then from bottom to top.

"Why do you love attracting mosquitoes so much?" Ji Tingyu took out an extra fan in his hand to fan Qi Yanfan up and down, and patted him lightly from time to time, "Go to sleep."

"Yeah." Qi Yanfan responded softly, so happy that the mosquito bag didn't itch anymore, he grinned silently and smirked a few times in the dark, and then fell asleep contentedly in the direction of Ji Tingyu.
