Crossing the Four Seasons Pastoral

This was the first time that Li Jinyuan had really suffered from Ye Youping's side, his eyes almost burned holes in the wooden door when he cast his eyes on the house.The rest of the people looked relaxed, they finally got to the bottom of this matter, they have made a decision whether they want to speak out or deal with it.

Ye Xiaoan came here alone this time, when Tian's family went to inform him, they hurriedly brought him here. At this time, they were also afraid that Chen Xidi would find someone at home, and finally left after everyone else left.

Li Jinyuan didn't take away the vegetables scattered on the ground, but Ye Youping picked them up and hung them on the ground.At this time, I didn't have the mind to go to the field again, and I went into the house to see the little brother after dawdling outside for a while.

He takes care of the vegetable field at home alone, and he has to look at it sooner or later, so he naturally knows that it often decreases for no reason.But he really couldn't finish eating this vegetable field, so he didn't bother about this little thing.But I didn't expect that Li Jinyuan was too greedy, and this time he would steal the chicken and lose the rice.

He pushed open the door, but saw that Su Mu had half sat up, still holding the doctor's prescription in his hand, with a disgusted expression on his face.

It was not right for the two of them to be under the same roof, Ye Youping thought he had fainted again, but unexpectedly saw the half-turned brocade, with a moment of embarrassment on his face, he was about to close the door again in a hurry.

"Hey, come in." Su Mu shouted, realizing that he was not at home now, and hurriedly waved to him.

Ye Youping hesitated for a while, seeing him shaking the prescription in his hand, finally made up his mind and walked over.The doctor said that he was seriously injured, and Uncle Jing Kai also asked the elder brother to pay for the medicine soup. If he didn't go to get the medicine, he might not be cured.

The prescription prescribed by Dr. Chen has been changed beyond recognition by Su Mu. The leeches, centipedes, scorpions, and insects in it have been crossed out and replaced with angelica, gastrodia elata, osmanthus twigs, and raw licorice.He hesitated for a while, then crossed out Polygonum multiflorum and Salvia miltiorrhiza.In this small place, Dr. Chen still has some skills, and the prescriptions he prescribed can be regarded as the right medicine, but those crawling things are really not to Su Mu's liking.Polygonum multiflorum and Salvia miltiorrhiza are the most expensive among them. If they used to cost thousands of years, they would be affordable.

Ye Youping took a step forward, almost snatching the prescription from his hand, and frowned.Regardless of how much it cost to take the medicine, it cost half a tael of silver to prescribe this prescription, but he smeared it like this before it was used.

"It's okay, the effect is much better after I changed it, and it's not so disgusting." Su Mu also felt that it was almost the same, and threw out the bare brush in his hand, and said: "Just take ten doses for me according to this prescription. "

Ye Youping glared at him angrily, and it took Su Mu a lot of effort to see the clue: "I forgot, if you change the prescription like this, you won't be given any medicine, right? It's really pedantic." Even though he said that, he also knew This is to prevent someone from maliciously changing the prescription, especially if some medicines have conflicting properties, it is easy to aggravate the condition or even lose one's life.

"Bring a pen and paper again..."

What Su Mu didn't expect was that even half a piece of paper could not be found in this family.He's in good shape, though, and overall things have been improving.Although the fat man punched him twice, he didn't hurt his head, and the dizziness he had just rested for a while also eased slightly.

"Come here, I'll show you." Although he is a doctor, Su Mu has always hated the smell of medicinal soup.Since he couldn't find the pen and ink, he simply threw away the prescription and wanted to show Ye Youping instead.

For him, as long as he can tell the symptoms, whether it is internal weakness or external injury, it is not difficult.The most difficult thing to deal with is this old disease.Human beings are just mortal bodies. If it is delayed for a long time, it will aggravate the disease, and damage the functions around the affected area. Ordinary medicinal soups are often difficult to be effective.

Ye Youping ignored him, bowed his head and picked up the prescription again.Ye Xiaoan didn't want him to experience disappointment after having hope, and he didn't tell him in detail about the treatment of dumb disease in the future.But since he agreed with Su Mu to stay, and his younger brother asked him to take care of him, Ye Youping took him as his own responsibility—he really didn't like this wayward brother, but he picked him up, and now he's back. It was a serious illness, and in his opinion, if he didn't drink the decoction for a few days, he might not recover.

So Su Mu stretched out his hand and watched him go out the door without looking back, with nowhere to vent his anger.This stupid fool must not have imagined that he might not be willing to feel his pulse when he was given a hundred taels of gold in the past!

When Ye Xiaoan came home, only Zhou Nan was sitting in the room.

"You're back?" Ye Xiaoan was a little surprised, he hurried out in the morning, as if he had something important to do.He was sleepy at the time and didn't ask any more questions.

"Well, is fourth brother okay?" Zhou Nan already knew the reason for his going out from Chen Xidi, but he didn't chase after them because he was worried that the two would miss him on the way.

"It's okay, that Su Mu is not easy, the elder brother bumped into his hand and let him clean up." Ye Xiaoan laughed as he said, Li Jinyuan suffered a lot without saying a word, it is really happy to think of it .

"Oh, what's going on?" Zhou Nan had already seen that Su Mu was not an ordinary man's brother, his eyes showed an indescribably critical aura, but he didn't expect that he could cause something even when his injury was not healed. Come on.

Ye Xiaoan explained the matter to him in detail, and finally said: "In the past, when we took something, they wanted to go along with it, but now it is much more worry-free. The second elder brother was ridiculed by Tian Fang last time." , now he doesn’t come near the house at all. This time the big brother lost face in front of everyone, I don’t believe he dares to go in.”

Zhou Nan smiled. There may be many ways to deal with a person, but in a village, there are often no tricks to use. It would be great if they can really deter them.

"Hey, I haven't checked if Su Mu is really all right. I was afraid that you would find me, so I hurried back."

"According to what you said, he will definitely not let himself suffer, so don't worry!" Zhou Nan felt a little happy after hearing his words, feeling that he finally gradually understood his identity.

"That's right, I think we underestimated him before." Ye Xiaoan felt that he was still awake when he winked at him, and he wasn't really in a coma at all.

Zhou Nan nodded slightly, pulled him to his side, and said, "Stop caring about him—guess where I went today?"

"In town?" Ye Xiaoan said casually.He once heard from Chen Xidi that Zhou Nan would visit Annan City every year, ranging from one to two months to three to five months.It's just that I just got married now, so I probably don't want to go out.

When Chen Xidi said this, he was more or less joking with him, but Ye Xiaoan didn't take it to heart.For him, this marriage is to let him transition from thinking about how to save money and eat every day to opening his mouth and waiting for food all day.As for not being willing to part with it—except for giving up half of the beds, there is nothing to change if I think about it.

If Zhou Nan knew that after spending so much time cultivating a relationship with him, it turned out like this in his heart, he might swallow his thoughts immediately.

Zhou Nan shook his head, although sometimes he was too worried that Beizi would let him go and have a look, but Dad and Beizi felt that it was a big deal.Besides, a trip to town wasn't worth getting up early.

Ye Xiaoan couldn't figure it out anymore, they didn't need to do the work in the family's field, in fact, Zhou Nan often wandered around, doing some things like investigations.Of course, he may not have this concept, but based on his intuition, he has already done these things subconsciously. It is not at all what Chen Xidi said that he can make money by going out with nothing to do at home.

But even if he went to the village, it usually took a whole day, and it was rare for him to come back so early.

Zhou Nan's mood dropped a little. If Xiao An kept paying attention to him, he would definitely be able to guess what he was doing recently.

He reached out and pinched Ye Xiaoan's face: "Guess again? If you can't guess, you will be punished."

Ye Xiaoan almost turned black, the punishment sounds too abnormal.He thought hard, and suddenly noticed the mud stains on Zhou Nan's shoes, and he had a flash of inspiration: "Which village have you been to?"

"Shangping Village." Knowing that he couldn't answer, Zhou Nan didn't make any trouble, but lowered his head and stole a kiss on his lips before saying the answer.

The shallow kiss was like a superficial touch, and by the time Ye Xiaoan realized it, he had already straightened up.Ye Xiaoan didn't dare to grasp this question, and hurriedly followed his words: "What are you going to Shangping Village for?"

When he came here, he also gradually learned about the situation in Annan City. There are more than 200 villages in Changshui County. In terms of geographical location, some villages belonging to two different towns are closer to each other.Although Shangping Village does not border Baoping, it is only a mile or two longer to walk there than to go back to Linxia Village.

Zhou Nan held his breath, thinking to himself, what is the purpose of these busy days?

"Don't you want to make vermicelli?"

Ye Xiaoan really wants to do this, but how to solve the problem of sweet potatoes still needs a long-term plan.But listening to what he said, could it be...

"There are still people growing sweet potatoes in Shangping Village?"

Shangping Village is a well-known poor place. The village is almost in the middle of the mountain, sandwiched by two other villages.Two-thirds of their fields are dry land, and it is not easy to feed themselves.As a result, many children aged [-] or [-] went out to work as apprentices or part-time laborers, and only returned after earning money and getting married.

"No, but a few days ago I heard that there was a disturbance between two families, and they pulled out everything in the field. I just went to have a look today." For them, the things in the field are the lifeblood, and the harvest is related to the whole family. Can the child fill the stomach.All of a sudden, the crops that had not been planted for a long time were all pulled out, and no one had the intention to exclude each other, and almost went to court for death.

So Zhou Nan just went to pick up a bargain this time, and asked them to replant sweet potatoes at the price of one tael per mu of land, and the harvest in the field would no longer have anything to do with the farmers.

In the past, he might not have taken this kind of thought, but seeing Ye Xiaoan was really disappointed a few days ago, so he wanted him not to be idle at home.

When Ye Youping left the house, he went straight to Lin Jingkai's house.There are not many families in the village who can produce pens and inks, and most of them are used by children in school, so it is not easy for them to produce them.The village chief's family is far away and high, so he is more likely to borrow it than Uncle Jing Kai, who still often prescribes medicines.

Lin Jingkai had just arrived home, because before leaving, Ye Xiaoan took the initiative to return the money collected by Dr. Chen, and when he opened the door to see Ye Youping, he finally didn't put on a tiger face.

"What do you want pen and paper for?" Lin Jingkai was a little puzzled, so he turned around and gave him some, and said, "Do you really want to take care of that little brother? According to me, I shouldn't stay in your house anymore. Since it is If your brother-in-law caused trouble, you should let him make soup and medicine. If you want to get married, go to a decent family and ask for one. Seeing that he has delicate skin and tender flesh, he can't bear hardships."

Ye Youping waved his hands, indicating that he had no intention of getting married, and made a few gestures to thank him before leaving with his things.

"It's nice to have a good heart, but in this world, a good heart is enough?" Lin Jingkai watched him go away, sighed and then closed the door again.

Ye Youping took the pen and paper and the prescription, wanted to copy it but couldn't start - he only held the hoe and sickle with both hands, and he couldn't hold the bare pen firmly.In the end, he had to hand it back to Su Mu, and motioned him to copy it again with his eyes.

Su Mu almost thought that he went out angrily because he had modified the prescription, but unexpectedly he came over with a pen and paper.After thinking about it for a while, I copied the prescription I had modified, and wrote some other herbal medicines.

"I don't need to take this medicine for a month, just get me ten doses. Bring these herbs back with me." Su Mu said while writing, and then remembered that he couldn't hear what he said, so he had to put down his pen to gesture with him stand up.

However, this kind of conversation was obviously more difficult than he expected, and he didn't know if he understood it after making gestures for a long time.

"Hey, do you really understand?" Su Mu hadn't felt such a scratching feeling for a long time, as if he had nowhere to use his strength.

Ye Youping shook his head. Fortunately, Su Mu finally remembered and wrote all the requirements under the prescription, so that the people in the medicine hall could understand it naturally.

Naturally, it was impossible for Li Jinyuan to send ten taels of silver to the door. Ye Youping took out the money jar from under the bed, put it in his arms with the prescription, and went to town.

-

The people in Shangping Village are really poor. The crops in the field are not enough for rations, and they have to subsidize the mountain products and fruits picked from the mountains throughout the year.The land here is barren, and the harvest of the same acre of land is one-third less than that of other places.Zhou Nan only expressed his wishes that day, and the family rushed to collect money to lease the land to him.

The Zhou family still has more than ten acres of dry land, but the cost of planting here is much lower.One mu of land can grow three thousand catties of sweet potatoes. Even if the fertility is not enough, there is a discount, and two thousand catties is no problem.Ye Xiaoan followed Zhou Nan along the path, and as far as he could see, most of them were mud-brick houses scattered unevenly down the mountain.

"What if a house like this is flooded?" Ye Xiaoan couldn't help asking.

Zhou Nan glanced at him in surprise, as if he was a little surprised by his question: "The foundation below has stones, so it's fine to be submerged for a few days. But if there is a flood, there is nothing we can do. If it collapses, we can only rebuild."

Ye Xiaoan nodded silently, the terrain here varies greatly in height, the place where the top of the road they walked may be the ground of someone else's house, and there are two adjacent families whose foundation is as high as the roof.It seems interesting, but it feels a little sad when it blends with the whole dilapidated village.

It was about Si time now, but there were not many people in the village.Zhou Nan came here yesterday and was already familiar with the way. He took Ye Xiaoan and turned diagonally in from the left at the end where there seemed to be no exit.After a patch of chestnut trees passed, five or six families were seen again in the shade of willows and bright flowers.

Zhou Nan walked towards the front room, but stopped in front of the door, and then there was a barking sound of dogs, and he saw two khaki animals flying out.

Ye Xiaoan was taken aback, but Zhou Nan stood still like a mountain.When he came back to his senses and took a closer look, it turned out that they were two big dogs, but their stature was a bit scary, and their front feet could reach people's shoulders.

"Ah Fu Agui! Come down!" Someone from the house chased him out, apparently the owner was yelling at the two dogs.It's just that the man's voice was hoarse and lacked momentum, and the two dogs called Fugui only slowed down a little, but they were still sniffing around Zhou Nan's feet.

"You mean this family?" Ye Xiaoan asked in a low voice.

The money was handed over to the other party yesterday, and now I need to get some potato vines to plant the land.They don't need to do this job, the family has already promised to help plant it.Now in their eyes Zhou Nan is also a noble person, spending two days is nothing.Even if the crops in the field are still there, they have to thin the seedlings, weed, harvest, and dry, and they have worked hard to get a few baskets of millet.

Before Zhou Nan could answer, the people in the room had already come out.The man's face was haggard, and there were marks on the rice stalks on his face. He had obviously just gotten up.

"Young master Zhou, are you here? My father has gone to the mountain, come in and sit for a while, I will call them back." Ah Cheng coughed twice, although his spirit was weak, his eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Nan.

After he came out, the two dogs came back to him, Zhou Nan nodded to him, and walked in holding Ye Xiaoan's hand.

The room was small and dark, but Ye Xiaoan wasn't too surprised after entering because of the sights he saw along the way.Ah Cheng drove the dogs out, led them to the most spacious room and poured water, then said: "They knew you were coming today, but they didn't expect to come so early. They must not be far away, I'll go call Your throat will do."

Ah Cheng was afraid that they would feel neglected, so he hurriedly explained.Today's weather is pretty good, it's a waste not to go out.If it wasn't for his illness, there might not be anyone in the family at this time.

Zhou Nan nodded, seeing his anxious expression, he said again: "We are not in a hurry to leave, it will not be too late when they come back."

Ah Cheng smiled gratefully and embarrassingly, if it wasn't for his business, all the things in the field would not have been destroyed.If he messes things up again this time, he might even seek death.

When Ah Cheng said to shout twice, he really opened his voice and shouted. He quickly climbed up a chestnut tree, and after shouting twice, he heard someone's voice echoing from the mountain, and he had obviously heard it.Ye Xiaoan was amazed to hear that.

He had already heard about this family from Zhou Nan once. In fact, the reason for the conflict between the two families was also very simple. If the marriage did not work out, it would lead to resentment.The two families live close to each other in the same village, and it is inevitable that the two children have some affection.It's a pity that every family in Shangping Village is poor, and those who gave birth to a brother hope that the child can leave this place, so that they don't have to suffer for generations.Even the one who gave birth to a child is not willing to marry the one who is close to her. Who can take care of the other party if she can't get rid of it?It's better to go out and do small jobs for a few years honestly, so that you can earn a few taels of silver.

With such thoughts, the two families did not agree in the first few years.Of course, soon Ah Cheng lowered his head first. After all, if he wanted to marry into the family, he would snatch his elder brother who had been raised for more than ten years.

She was well prepared to come to propose marriage, but she didn't expect the other party to be unwilling this time.Ah Cheng's father made a fool of himself for a few days, and finally heard that the other party was being hooked up, and was going to talk about it in the outer village!

As for how it developed to the point where everything in the two farms was ruined, they each said their own things and refused to admit that they had done it, and resented each other for being vicious.

Ah Cheng also felt that he couldn't talk to them, so he stayed outside for a while after calling for someone.This time, the clothes were tidily tidied up, and it could be seen that he was a strong young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, probably in his early twenties.

"Mr. Zhou, my father went to the field to look at it last night. There is nothing wrong with planting sweet potatoes, but this product is not easy to sell. It is said that one mu of land can be harvested more than 2000 catties. What if the time comes? ..."

It stands to reason that he should feel at ease after taking the money, but last night the family discussed for a long time and didn't know what he should do with these sweet potatoes.

"Don't worry, I'll use the things I plant." Zhou Nan also saw that the family really didn't have much thought, and they must be a very simple type of people in the village: "But when the summer harvest comes, will there be anyone in your village doing short-term labor?" ?”

"Who to hire? Mr. Zhou has helped us so much, and now we have nothing in the field, so we will collect it for you." Father A Cheng, who had just returned to the house, heard his words and raised his voice. Say it bluntly.

"Where, let's focus on one thing, how can we let you do nothing?" Seeing them coming back, Zhou Nan also stood up.Helping to plant things in the ground is what was agreed before, but harvesting is another matter.He didn't want to take advantage of this, and he didn't want to leave a story for others.

A Cheng's father pushed him back to the seat, and looked at Ye Xiao'an with a wrinkled old face: "This is your brother? He is indeed a lucky one."

Ye Xiaoan also stood up with Zhou Nan, not knowing how to answer such praise, he could only smile at him and lowered his head slightly.In the eyes of Ah Cheng's father, he looked extremely cute.

"Look, if you want to marry, you should marry like this. What's the use of those who can only scold at the top of their voices all day long? You have to marry a virtuous man!" Although A Cheng's father had never left the village in his life, he was still very shy when talking about the mountains. I heard people say a few neat words, and later when I got older, I also said a lot to younger generations.Ah Cheng knew that he was speaking to himself on purpose, so he bowed his head and remained silent.

In fact, Zhou Nan really likes to chat with the old people in the village, and his attitude is always respectful. Now he heard what A Cheng's father said, but he said: "The old man is right, but it's hard to say what kind of temperament this virtuous person is. Going up the mountain and going down to the field is a great skill." It's not bad to be able to protect the family with a sharp tongue."

"I'd rather demolish ten temples than regret one family" was not a joke, Zhou Nan could naturally hear that the old man in front of him was beating his son, but it was not easy to express his position based on the news he got.It can be seen that Ah Cheng's temperament is seven or eight percent similar to that of the old man, both of whom have the same strong temperament.If it wasn't for him to seek death and life first, Ah Cheng is probably the one who is haggard at the moment.

Ah Cheng's father stopped talking.Naturally, he also understands this truth. In many cases, if you are not arrogant enough, you are also being bullied.Back then he agreed to the marriage just because he had figured this out. Who would have thought that...

He sighed, and got down to business: "Young Master Zhou, I have asked my eldest son to get the sweet potato vines you want, and they will start planting in the afternoon. Do you want to come and watch?"

Coincidentally, Zhou Nan was also thinking about sweet potato vines at the time, but A Cheng's father knew someone who also grew sweet potatoes at home.This sweet potato is planted with fibers, and a sweet potato vine can be pinched into three or four segments, so there is no need to worry about not enough.Zhou Nan quickly booked his land for this year, and he took over the matter.

The method of growing sweet potatoes is very simple. He offered to let Zhou Nan come over to look at it, so he naturally meant to let them supervise the work.

"Grandpa, you can just call me by my name. They are all peasants. One mouthful, one Mr. Zhou, will overwhelm me." Zhou Nan came this time to determine when the sweet potatoes can be planted. Seeing that he is so active, he has already done this matter I am very satisfied with half of it.The yield of spring potatoes is higher than that of summer potatoes, and it is also convenient for them to operate again.Looking at the family, he had some other thoughts.

His words were sincere, Father Ah Cheng took out the tobacco he rolled and took a sip, and said, "You bastard, you really don't look like a farmer's family."

"What's different? I'm in Baoping Village, Tangqiao Town. If you don't believe me, go out and ask." Zhou Nan laughed, looking like a farmer.

"Hey, what are you asking, what did your daddy call you? Xiaonan?" Acheng's dad knocked on the cigarette ash. He still knew Baoping Village. Although it was not the same town, it was not far away.What's more, he took the money and planted the things in his own field, as if the other party should be even more worried.

"Oh, yes."

"You can rest assured that we can plant this land?" Everything is in his hands, and Father A Cheng is not worried about himself after analyzing it.

"What are you worried about?" Zhou Nan asked back.

"Haha, yes, as long as my old bones don't die, I will definitely send you the sweet potatoes!" Father Ah Cheng took a few sips and said while patting his chest.

Ye Xiaoan watched the old and the young having a happy conversation, and he agreed to take a closer look, but he could only watch from the sidelines.But now everything is developing in the direction they expected, and there is no room for it.

-

After talking about things at Ah Cheng's house, Zhou Nan left half of the money to Ah Cheng's father as a reward for buying sweet potato vines and planting those fields.After rejecting their family's efforts to persuade them to stay, they left their house.

"You are so straightforward in doing business?" After this time, Ye Xiaoan also looked at him with admiration.It is said that there is no business and no adultery, and I thought he must look shrewd when he went outside, but he didn't expect that he was talking and laughing all the time.

"That depends on who the other party is." The road under the chestnut tree was very narrow, Zhou Nan took the opportunity to hold him in his arms, and led him out.

"Hey, they really don't have other livelihoods? It's just a little field, can it?" After walking out of the path, they came to the end of the road again.But even if you look at it like this, it doesn't look like the vast rice sea elsewhere. Not far away is the green hill, and there are many scattered fields divided into small pieces below.

"Yes!" Zhou Nan also looked at the mountains in the distance, and said, "They will go to the mountains to chop firewood and sell them, and the children will go to pick up mushrooms, pine nuts and other fruits. Or open some fields at the foot of the mountains, and there will be more things to grow. "

Ye Xiaoan took a breath and picked it up again, as if he had returned to the time when he saw the old house when he just woke up.They grow sweet potatoes to make vermicelli, and when he thought of making vermicelli, he suddenly had some ideas.

"You said... can we make vermicelli and make semi-finished products here?"

It takes a lot of effort to extract the powder from sweet potatoes, and they originally had to hire someone to do it.But Shangping Village was originally closed, and these families were even more secluded, far away from the main road.If you can keep them secret, no one will find out when you make it.

"It's convenient to do it here, but how to pull it out in the end?" Zhou Nan also thought about this possibility, but he quickly denied it.

Ye Xiaoan immediately thought that after extracting the powder through sedimentation, the sweet potatoes would not disappear out of thin air, and there would still be a lot of potato dregs left.If you want to maximize profits, these things have to be used.It is best to feed pigs or chickens, so that pigs and chickens can be raised...

"Why don't we find another place to raise pigs?" Ye Xiaoan's eyes lit up. Although a big fat pig is not as good as a cow, a pig can be worth a lot of money.What's more, if other people feed grass, their leftover potato dregs can supply almost a year, and they must grow faster than other families.

"What are you thinking about? You are running so fast." Zhou Nan patted his head, and the content of their conversation was often skipping.Besides raising pigs, he felt dirty and tired, but Ye Xiaoan was excited when he said it.

This feeling is very strange, but Zhou Nan is conniving.What's more... the idea of ​​raising pigs is not bad, it's just a different way.

It was still early, and the two of them walked out slowly, maybe because they were subconsciously accustomed to such intimate movements, Ye Xiaoan didn't realize that his hand was wiping his waist.

"Hey, what is that child doing?" The road is much higher than the field below, and there is a small river flowing slowly below.In the relatively calm creek, a six or seven-year-old child stood in the middle, bowed his head and groped.

"Touching river clams." Zhou Nan glanced at it. When he first arrived in Baoping Village, everything was new to him. Zhou Lekang took them to touch this in order to make them forget that bad memory.It is the most plump in May and June. If you can't finish eating it, pickle it to make appetizers.Of course, some people are too poor, and their children will sneak out to touch river clams and smell the fishy smell.

"Can you touch it?" Ye Xiaoan had never lived in the countryside before, even if a small pool in the park put a centimeter-long goldfish for the children to fish in, it was charged by time.

"Of course, there are many in the river." Zhou Nan still has an impression of this, as long as he finds the right place, he often grabs it with one hand.If you are lucky, you can touch a big pot in one morning.But looking at his shining eyes, I always feel that there is a bad premonition.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xiaoan said, "Let's go down and have a look too?"

Ye Xiaoan really suddenly became interested.Maybe it's human nature to be close to Jiang He, maybe it's because Zhou Nan feels too relaxed.The city he grew up in lacked such fun, and seeing him today unexpectedly gave birth to an impulse out of thin air.

Zhou Nan has not participated in such a small game since he was nine years old.I was about to say let him play next time, but I hesitated looking at his undisguised eyes.In a trance, he remembered that he probably intended to be a bad person back then, and one day he would return the means that those people had imposed on him and destroy everything they had.In the end, when they met Zhou Bei, they changed their mind somehow and sent him all the way back after saving him.After so many years in Baoping village, he is not even willing to live in the county seat now.He also understands that if he does not do some things, he may never do them in the future.

"Then let's go." Thoughts drifted away indiscriminately, Zhou Nan calmed down and nodded.Now that there are no people around, this is the best opportunity.

The stairs carved out by the villagers were about ten feet away. Ye Xiaoan didn't want to make a detour, so he went down the slope.Zhou Nan held his hand on top first, and then let him go when he couldn't hold it in the middle. Ye Xiaoan quickened his pace and rushed down, laughing out loud.

"So happy?" Zhou Nan also imitated his example and rushed down, almost rushing to the opposite field with too much momentum.

"It's been a long time since I played like this." Ye Xiaoan rolled up his sleeves and trousers, and came to the river with full posture, ready to go into the water.Zhou Nan only thought that he started to help his elder brother's house at a young age, so he didn't say anything so as not to arouse his worries.

The river was not deep, and Ye Xiaoan could only reach his calf when he stood down.He couldn't wait to take a few steps, and the river stirred up the sediment underneath, and the child in front also looked back at him.

"Shoot in the river sand, try not to scour the holes on the side, there may be snakes." Zhou Nan stood beside him, imparting experience in a serious manner.I hope that if I touch it a lot, I can take it home and have a drink with my father.The river clam is dirty and cold in nature, and it is not a good thing in the eyes of the villagers.No one in the Zhou family has done this kind of work for so many years, and naturally they have never eaten such small river clams.

Ye Xiaoan didn't seem to be very good at this, his hands were full of sand after touching it for a long time.Zhou Nan was a little surprised. In his memory, this matter was very easy. They used to float the wooden basin on the water, and it didn't take long for it to sink when it was heavy.

After a while, Ye Xiaoan raised his head in frustration, and Zhou Nan squeezed his sleeves to try.If there really isn't one in the river, it's better to go back earlier, at worst, take him to the river in the village next time.

"Oh, that child!" He just lowered his head when he heard an exclamation, the river around him was rolling, and Ye Xiaoan had already run over.And the child who was just in front of them shook twice and fell into the river.

The calmness of the river could not wash away the man, and it was discovered in time, and he was just picked up in the past.The child was thin and small, Ye Xiaoan hurriedly carried him to the shore.Seeing that his face was pale, his eyes were closed tightly, and his breathing was very weak, he folded his hands and began to perform chest compressions on him.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Nan also came ashore and stood beside him.

Ye Xiaoan pressed hard twice, and the strength in his hand eased again, before he said: "Save someone, try it."

Zhou Nan squatted down and rolled over the child's eyes, and put his hands on the side of his neck. It looked normal: "He didn't drown, he must have fainted. I don't know if it's something wrong with his body or he fainted suddenly. Wait until he wakes up." Ask again."

There was no one around, and it was impossible for them to leave at this time.

Besides, on Ye Youping's side, he took over the task of taking care of Su Mu with all his heart.When Su Mu woke up at the beginning, because he misunderstood that he didn't eat, he deliberately threw away the food he was fed. Ye Youping was very displeased with this willful and wasteful behavior. Later, Ye Xiaoan deliberately drove him away without making a sound.

At this moment, seeing that the hard-to-prepared medicine was already cold by the bed, he felt the anger in his heart rising again.

Su Mu's heart was not lighthearted either.

Obviously, the prescription has been changed by him several times, but I don't know how this fool found the doctor that day, and finally took the medicine according to his prescription.The hateful thing is that this prescription is not only less effective, but also has disgusting things such as whole insects and scorpions!

As a doctor, he is naturally not afraid of these things, and he has even caught many of them with his own hands.But now, thinking of eating it, my stomach turned against me.Besides that bowl of medicine, he had never seen anyone boil the medicine soup like this!Even the young disciples that the master took back and placed in the yard sweeping the floor would not suffer like this.Oh, that little disciple is only seven years old.

But for the sake of being so active, he still explained well: "I can get better gradually without taking medicine, and it saves money, doesn't it?"

Ye Youping got used to his way of speaking in the past two days, and gradually could understand some words from the shape of his lips, feeling anxious.What about saving money? The medicine has been brought back, and if you don’t drink it, it will be a waste.He gave him a last look, took the medicine and went out.

Su Mu thought he had finally persuaded him, so he was so proud that he didn't notice the sound of the kitchen at all.

Ye Youping reheated the medicinal soup, and the bowl of medicinal soup became [-]% full, so thick that ink dripped out.Su Mu was still thinking about being able to walk around in a few days, so he came in again with a bowl.

With a sullen face, he made a gesture of drinking, his eyes fixed on Su Mu.Many people are reluctant to take medicine when their child is sick, not to mention that he is not young, and in Ye Youping's mind, he is more self-willed than a seven-year-old child.

Su Mu shook his head, knowing that Ye Youping couldn't respond to him, he simply didn't bother to speak.

Ye Youping touched the rim of the bowl with his hand, slightly but not hot, it should be just right at this time.Seeing Su Mu shaking his head again, he quietly approached the bedside, pressed his head with one hand and poured it down with a bowl.

"How dare you!" Sensing his intention, Su Mu turned his head while covering his nose, and said viciously.

Ye Youping ignored his angry eyes, no matter how he turned the medicine bowl, he would still
