The poor man grows watermelon

Zou Xing recovered his breath a little, then hurried into the room to diagnose and treat the child.

"Fengxie enters the body, and the internal organs are stagnant. Although it is not harmful to life, it must be recuperated. Before it is completely recovered, it should not be tired or catch a cold."

Zou Xing looked around but couldn't find the child's family, so he said to Yu Feng, "Brother Yu, it's better to find his family as soon as possible."

Yu Feng nodded and said, "Later, Uncle Hou and I will go to various villages to inquire and see who has lost children."

When he said this, Village Chief Hou picked up the curtain and came in.

When Village Chief Hou saw Yu Feng, he hurriedly asked, "Fengzi, I heard that you fished a doll from the river. Is this true?"

Yu Feng pointed to the couch, and said calmly: "Dr. Zou has just been seen, and he is fine. Doctor Zou, this is the village head of Xiaozhu Village, Uncle Hou."

Only then did Village Chief Hou notice that there was a stranger in the room, he quickly folded his hands, and said, "So it's Dr. Zou, the old man's eyes are dull, don't blame Dr. Zou."

"Village chief Hou is polite." Zou Xing performed the junior salute.

Village head Hou asked about the child's situation, and after confirming that there was no danger to his life, he began to care about the child's case.

"Rushing from the upper reaches, you can probably find Nanshi, Beishi, and Xitou villages. Let's go and ask them later."

"Beishi Village is fine. If you want to go to Nanshi Village and Xitou Village, I'm afraid you have to find a place with good water quality."

"Oh, there's no other way. It's pitiful. I can't ignore it." Village Chief Hou sighed, and looked at the owner of the house, "Sister-in-law Lin, if it's not convenient for you to keep this baby, let Xiaoan go to my house."

Aunt Lin said bluntly: "How old is he? There is no inconvenience, just stay here, so as not to move around and affect the baby's recuperation."

Village Chief Hou nodded and said: "That's fine, I'll ask Xiao An to bring some rice noodles later, sister-in-law Lin, don't be too busy to refuse, it's time for half-sized children to eat, and it's not easy for you and Xinghua. "

Aunt Lin moved her mouth, but she didn't say any excuses.

Aunt Niu and Hou An, the village head's daughter-in-law, rushed over later, both of them in a hurry.

Aunt Niu looked at the couch and couldn't help but let out a "huh".

Village Chief Hou quickly asked, "Do you recognize this baby?"

"Isn't this the eldest grandson of Granny Yu's family? I just met him a few days ago."

"Which Granny Yu?"

"The fish basket seller in Xitou Village can be seen at the fair every New Year's Eve. Her baskets are well made and the price is fair. I even bought one a few days ago."

Aunt Niu said "Yeah", "I remembered when you said that, she did bring a baby with her when she went to the market."

"Well, it's also a hard life. My son died in the war, and my daughter-in-law ran away, leaving only this little grandson who was raised by her shit and pee. It hurts like an eyeball on weekdays."

"It's a good thing that nothing happened to this baby. If there is something wrong, how can the old man live!"

When everyone in the room heard this, they couldn't help but fell silent.

Next to the couch was the boy's fish basket, which contained a big fish weighing three to four catties, which was brought back by Yu Feng when he found him.

Even in a coma, the boy still tightly held the hemp rope on the fish basket, refusing to let go.

Village Chief Hou let out a long sigh, and said bitterly: "Look at this kid, he doesn't know that the adults in the family care about him, and he is still playing fish!"

The little boy may have heard the voices around him, and suddenly started talking in his sleep——

"Grandma...you, get well soon, don't die..."

"Fish...catch fish for grandma..."

"Get better, don't die..."

Village Chief Hou was startled, and lost his voice: "Could it be that Grandma Yu is sick, and this kid just went into the water to fish?"

"Perhaps the fish basket was entangled by aquatic plants, and he was reluctant to let go, so he was brought into the water." Yu Feng guessed, looking at the entangled aquatic plants at the bottom of the basket.

Another moment of silence.

Su Ye unconsciously grabbed Yu Feng's sleeve and fixed his eyes on the young boy on the bed.

What kind of predicament is it that can make such a small child even care about his life?

His heart was pulled into a ball like Yu Feng's sleeve.

Regardless of the presence of the crowd, Yu Feng held his cold hand with his backhand and offered silent comfort.

Su Ye's expression was still not very good.

He had never been through such suffering and had no idea how hard it was for some people.

Village Chief Hou was blaming himself for the slip of the tongue just now, so he heard Yu Feng say: "Now we need to find someone to deliver a letter to Xitou Village, and help Granny Yu see her illness."

Zou Xing took the initiative to invite Ying, "The medical center is not busy today, so I can just go there."

Yu Feng pursed his lips and asked, "Can you swim?"

Zou Xing: ...

Do you have to be able to swim to be a doctor?

It may not be necessary to be a doctor in other places, but not in Tonghua Township.

The villages of Xitou, Nanshi, and Luweigou are located in the southwest of Tonghua Township. They are surrounded by mountains on one side and water on three sides. They are trapped into isolated islands every summer flood.

No one in Wannian County knows how to build ships, let alone bridges.

Fortunately, although the current is fast, the river is not wide. After so many years, if there is no urgent matter, people will stay in the village honestly. If there is a big event such as a wedding or funeral, they have no choice but to swim across.

The benevolent doctor Zou found a place with shallow water, tested the depth with a bamboo pole, and decided to take a risk and swim across it.

Su Ye saw a bamboo pole and suddenly thought of a way.

"Wait! Is there anyone who can make bamboo rafts?"

Village head Hou took the lead and asked, "What is a bamboo raft?"

Su Ye: ...

It seems that no one will do it.

After all, Yu Feng knew Su Ye, and said directly: "Little Ye, you might as well tell me, if it's not difficult, maybe everyone can make it."

Su Ye nodded, "It's not difficult, bamboo is also ready-made."

Therefore, he simplified the method of bamboo rafts he knew, and tried to make one in the shortest time.

The men's hands and feet were also neat, and within an hour, the green bamboo chops were freshly baked.

Yu Feng asked expectantly: "Xiao Yezi, how are you doing?"

Looking at the uneven bamboo joints and the row of heads still covered with emerald green bamboo leaves, Su Ye's mood was a bit complicated.

"Push it into the water and try it, first find a good water quality."

"okay!"

A black and thin young man from Xiaozhu Village was the first to jump on it, and according to the method Su Ye said, he used a long pole to paddle the water and started to paddle.

Needless to say, this guy's ability is very good, he was wobbly at first, but after two or three times he mastered the essentials and rowed the little bamboo raft smoothly.

"Hey, this thing is really good!" The man grinned while paddling, "Do you think the merchants from the south came here by paddling this?"

"Pull you down, they are on a boat, which is bigger than your house!"

Others retorted with their mouths, but in fact they felt very itchy. If they hadn't got business to do, they would have to tear him down and give it a try.

Zou Xing was also bold, and immediately stood on the bamboo raft.

There was one more person, although the paddling man was not used to it, but fortunately, the two of them paddled to the other side of the river without any risk - if Zou Xing didn't fall into the mud when getting off the bamboo raft, it would be even more perfect.

Everyone was not in a hurry to go home, they simply sat around the river in small groups, chatting and waiting for news.

Yu Feng noticed that Su Ye seemed to be thinking about something important.

He thoughtfully didn't bother.

Su Ye was thinking and drawing, and after a while, a curved stone arch bridge appeared on the ground.

"Huh?" Hou An leaned over and asked curiously, "Brother Page, what is this?"

"It's a bridge."

Su Ye looked towards the river, and a crazy idea appeared in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't suppress it.

Looking at the pattern on the ground, Yu Feng pondered, "I've seen the suspension bridge that guards the city, and it's very similar to this one."

"This is an arch bridge, made of stones, stronger and more stable than wooden bridges."

If the history of this time and space is similar to Huaguo, then stone arch bridges have not yet appeared in this era.

The rest of the men heard their conversation and came over one after another.

Pointing to the patterns on the ground, Village Chief Hou asked one by one: "Is this a bridge hole? Are all the stones paved here? Will it not fall apart if it is built like this?

Su Ye patiently explained one by one.

Everyone is still unbelievable.

"It's so difficult, it's just, it's like an object that can only be made by a god..."

Speaking of the word "immortal", everyone's eyes fell on Su Ye's face in unison——

Isn't this a little fairy boy?

If he was the one to take the ride, it would definitely be... right?

-

Zou Xing came back a bit late.

Granny Yu was indeed ill, but fortunately it was not serious, it was just that the thatched shed leaked rain and caught the wind and cold.

When they went, Granny Yu was leaning on a wooden stick, looking for her grandson along the river.

Those miserable calls made it uncomfortable for anyone who heard them.

Zou Xinghao persuaded her to go home with good words, and made up a lie, saying that he wanted her grandson to help her in the hospital for a few days, and then send him back when the water subsided.

Only then did Granny Yu feel relieved.

Although the prescription was prescribed, there was no way to buy medicine.

In order to find medicine for Granny Yu, Zou Xing and the man who rowed the bamboo raft ran all over the nearby villages before they could make two sets.

After hearing these words, Su Ye strengthened his determination to build the bridge.

In the evening, he and Yu Feng returned home, picked up a few casual meals, and went back to the house with a heavy heart.

Yu Feng looked at his back, feeling distressed and helpless.

He ate all the leftovers, washed the dishes and chopsticks, and then entered the house.

Xue Wa had fallen asleep, and Su Ye was sitting on the tatami and counting money.

In this era, silver has not yet become a currency, and the copper half tael is the most circulated on weekdays, and gold is used for large expenditures such as rewards from superiors or military expenses.

Gold leaf can also be used for settlement when privately buying and selling expensive goods, and the store can be said to have taken advantage of it.

Originally, Su Ye was also a small rich man, but after the spring plowing, only a few thin pieces of gold leaves were left, and there were thousands of copper coins, which were saved to pay the farmers during the autumn harvest.

Su Ye looked very depressed.

Yu Feng sat cross-legged in front of him, pinched his face affectionately, "What's the matter?"

Su Ye raised his head and looked at him fixedly, "Yu Feng, if I say, I want to build a bridge...would you object?"

"No." Yu Feng replied without hesitation.

Su Ye: ...

"Building a bridge is expensive, time-consuming, and perhaps dangerous. If it is really necessary to build it, we will have to put all our belongings into it, and it may not be enough."

Su Ye paused for a moment, and said seriously, "Yu Feng, answer after you have thought about it."

Yu Feng pinched his face, his eyes were filled with a warm smile.

"Xiao Yezi, as long as you want, do it."

"Don't worry about money, and don't worry about danger. If you don't have money to hire someone, I will build it myself. If you can't do it in one year, it will take two years. Don't worry, I'm here."
