Crossing the Four Seasons Pastoral

In Ye Xiaoan's eyes, He Shiming was just a bluffing child, and he really didn't take his threats to heart.Zhou Nan wasn't around, so he couldn't help thinking about Su Mu again.Of course, more importantly, whether Su Mu can recover quickly means whether he can start treating the fourth brother's dumb disease sooner.

Because it was afternoon, when he entered the door, he happened to see Su Mu and Tian Xifan distributing herbs.Tian Xifan considers himself to be hardworking. In the past, not to mention brothers of the same age in the village, there were many boys who were about the same age as him.Hoes, needles, and threads can be used for everything, and it is no problem to climb mountains to collect some medicine.

However, his confidence was quickly shattered by Su Mu's actions.Don't think that Su Mu will take a rest after walking a few steps, but when he walks slowly, he can always get in front of him in the end.He was still not convinced a few times before, relying on his familiarity with the surrounding terrain, he always wanted to lead the way ahead, but the result of being so brave was that he couldn't keep up later.

Su Mu taught him to recognize herbs very casually, he would tell him the name and efficacy of the medicine when he saw it, and let him repeat it when he sorted it out for drying at home.In the past few days, Tian Xifan has had trouble sleeping and eating, and in the middle of the night he is still chanting about mutual generation and mutual restraint.

"Brother Su Mu, did you memorize it like this when you were studying?" Although it was difficult, Tian Xifan could barely remember it because he only recognized two kinds of herbs every day.What's more, he was still in awe of Su Mu in his heart, so naturally he didn't dare to be lazy and perfunctory, and he was always muttering words while walking.

"No." Su Mu is also very familiar with drying herbal medicines, and there are different processing steps for internal and external use. Tian Xifan seems a little flustered when he is next to him.

Bundling the grass for bathing to dry together, he turned his head and saw Tian Xifan suddenly realized, and said lightly: "I knew more than 3000 kinds of herbs when I was ten years old. Except for the ones that can't be found anywhere, I have seen the real thing. Master They never taught me to recognize herbs."

Identifying herbs is the foundation, and even other ordinary disciples, the master will never give additional instructions.When following the master to collect herbs everywhere, it is natural to remember what you have seen.

"You have a slightly better memory here than others, but it's a pity that you're too lazy." Su Mu knew what Tian Xifan's expression would be without turning around, and said, "I don't know how long I will stay here, and it will never exceed half a year. I used to be in other places In places where the memory is worse than yours, you can recognize twenty kinds in a day."

Su Mu is lazy and often only speaks half of what he talks about.Even if he stays for half a year, he can recognize two kinds of medicines every day, but he can only recognize hundreds of kinds of grasses, and he doesn't know how to match them and how to diagnose the disease.The man who could recognize twenty kinds of herbs a day only slept two hours a day before he and his master left.

"Xiao Su, where did you get so many medicines?" Ye Xiaoan was startled when he walked in.

"On the mountain." The medicine basket was already empty, Su Mu clapped his hands and stood up: "I will boil medicine for your brother from tomorrow, you have to let him drink it."

That day when he came back from gathering herbs for the first time, that idiot gave him a look for some reason.Probably seeing that he was able to move, I never came back to cook for him.Of course, the food he cooks is indescribably unpalatable, and Su Mu is not uncommon.He also couldn't fully understand the movements of gestures, let alone fully express his meaning, and the two fell into an inexplicable cold war like this.

After drinking the herbs he picked for a few days, his dizziness has improved a lot, and he also wondered if it was time to leave here.

"So fast?" Ye Xiaoan was overjoyed, thinking that he would wait for him to fully recover before leaving here to find someone to come back, but he didn't expect that he was also a doctor himself.

"He lost his voice for too long, and now these medicines are only auxiliary. In the future, we will need a lot of hard-to-find medicinal materials, and I will not be able to get them until I go back."

"No problem, he is not afraid of suffering." Although he said so, Ye Xiaoan was still very happy.Now that it has started, it means that he was not just talking about it, and the treatment will really start.

Su Mu lowered his eyes, regretting that he could not find coptis in this place.

Ye Xiaoan has changed a lot towards Su Mu. Although his temper is a bit special, he is very clear and not coy, and it is good to make friends.Regarding the matter that he asked himself to tell the fourth brother, at first he only thought that the two of them did not communicate well.But as soon as Ye Youping came back, he saw some clues.

Ye Youping was obviously very happy with his return, and still rubbed his hands and ran in and out to show him around to see the results of his recent busy work, trying to show that he was doing well.

Su Mu began to distribute the herbs, and then soaked the ones to be used in water.The two didn't say hello or even make eye contact.

After all, it was inconvenient for the fourth brother to express, Ye Xiaoan thought for a while, and approached Su Mu.

"Xiao Su." They didn't have a special medicine pot for boiling medicine at home, so they used a round-mouthed deep pot slightly larger than the medicine pot instead.Because the diameter is smaller than the original frying pan, a stone should be placed at the bottom when it is put down.The surrounding area also became larger, and thick smoke came out after the fire was lit.

Su Mu was lighting a fire with a fan, and the smell of smoke made him cover his mouth and cough low from time to time.Ye Xiao'an suddenly felt that his image at this time was too different from the proud young man when he first woke up.

When Su Mu saw him coming in, he froze for a while, as if he was very unwilling to be watched by others with his disheveled face.Fortunately, the firewood was already burning at this time, and he wiped his face and stood up: "I'm several years older than you, right?"

Ye Xiaoan did hear Zhou Nan say it, but he didn't know what to call it when he saw it later, and he still uses it to this day.At this time, since Su Mu mentioned it, he said, "Then I will call you Brother Su Mu too?"

"looking for me?"

"Well, I think you and my brother don't get along well?" Ye Xiaoan asked cautiously, after all, it was just his own conclusion from the sidelines.

Su Mu remained silent.In the past, even if he went to a mountain village like this, he and his master, as doctors, had always been the ones who helped him. Even the most humble place could receive warm hospitality. No one had ever treated him like Ye Youping. .

"Brother Su Mu, my brother is honest and responsible, but he can't speak, and he does things in the most practical way. If there is anything reckless that offends you, please don't bother with him." Ye Xiaoan thinks that the fourth brother is also a model of a good man Well, since Su Mu is still here, it means that there shouldn't be a big problem between them.It is said that if you don't hit the smiling face with your hand, you can say a few soft words to make Su Mu feel better, and he is more concerned about the fourth brother's affairs.

"Honesty?" Su Mu seemed to snort when he heard this, and said, "For the sake of saving me, I didn't care about the fact that he forced me to drink medicine. I also offended him by going to the mountains to collect medicine." ? Tsk."

Ye Xiaoan came here after asking Tian Xifan specifically, and said at this time: "Then you really wronged him, the doctor said you were seriously injured, how could he think that you would not take the medicine after taking the medicine? Brother Su Mu might not know, usually In winter, few of the children in the village were willing to take medicine when they caught wind and cold, and many of them died after such a delay. Of course, your medicine is of great use, but your body may not be able to bear it. Although my brother has no great skills, his temper is Excellent, but sometimes a little stubborn. In the beginning, I was angry because you wasted rice..."

Su Mu was silent for a while: "Don't worry, I will do my best for his affairs. However, I can't explain these details clearly. It would be better to stay in a few days, and I will leave here temporarily."

Ye Xiaoan's words made him seem to understand something, but it didn't make it clear.And no matter what happens between them, what he promised will definitely be done.

"Okay, if you want to find me, let Xiaofan send me a message." Ye Xiaoan was more inclined to believe him.

Su Mu also inquired about a lot of things from Tian Xifan these days, and almost got a clear idea of ​​the four families of the Ye family brothers, and naturally knew that Ye Xiaoan married into Baoping Village.He nodded, but he thought in his heart that he would go out of the city to contact his master. This period of time was just a small fragment of his ten years, and there was really no need for a deep friendship.

Thinking about it this way, I felt a little silly to be angry with that idiot.

He praised Su Mu again in front of Ye Youping, but he was unmoved.But at least the matter with the fourth brother has made progress, and Ye Xiaoan's heart has also been relieved.Although it may not be successful - even Su Mu took the initiative to tell him that there is no guarantee, but at least he has tried his best.It's just that he didn't expect that because he let He Shiming leave without saying anything serious, he got into trouble.

"Are you back?" As soon as he stepped into the door, he felt something was wrong.Chen Xidi and Uncle Mo sat side by side in the main room, talking to him in a deep voice.

"I'm back. My uncle is here too?" For a moment, he thought that He Shi Mingzhen asked Momo to talk about that matter, but if Momo agreed, he would have made the decision two years ago, so it's not his turn at this time to persuade him.

"Hey, Brother An." Qi Diwei smiled happily, but his heart was pounding.What Brother Ming did was disgraceful and offended. If he didn't speak well, he would be punished.Fortunately, this Angle did not do very well in some places, so he mentioned something vaguely to divert attention.Seeing that Ye Xiaoan had already returned, he was about to leave in a hurry: "You guys said, I have to go back."

"Uncle, it's easy to walk on the road." Ye Xiaoan was still thinking about being polite and staying, it's hard to say whether Qi Diwei really wanted to leave.Unexpectedly, as soon as his voice fell this time, he had already walked to the door quickly.

After watching him leave, and looking back at Chen Xidi, he realized that his face was more serious than ever.

"What, what's the matter?" Ye Xiaoan has never been troubled since he came here, although he and Chen Xidi are not as close as real blood relatives, but they have always respected them very much.Chen Xidi was also relatively lenient towards him, and didn't show him any looks.

Chen Xidi looked at him, and suddenly sighed: "Brother An, did someone come to look for you yesterday?"

Ye Xiaoan nodded.

"I said, do you really care about Xiao Nan? When someone came to your door, you let him pay ten taels of silver by himself? How many families in Baoping Village do you think they can't afford the ten taels of gift? If he really If you brought the money here, are you going to marry him back for Xiao Nan?" Chen Xidi was about to explode when he heard Qi Diwei say that-it was natural that He Shiming was too shameless to say it, but how could he? Does the newly married brother take her husband seriously?I didn't even mention half a word to him, and now it's a living joke when others say it.

Ye Xiaoan was taken aback, when did he say that He Shiming could enter the door with ten taels of silver?It was just an ordinary rhetorical question, and had nothing to do with "agreement".

"Who did you hear? I never promised! Don't say I don't want to, even if I do, I have to decide this matter. Where can I speak?"

When Chen Xidi heard what he said was sincere, he also deeply believed in it.But thinking that Xiao Nan had identified him and married him wholeheartedly, he also felt that Ye Xiaoan's performance was really lacking.

On the same day, Li Jinyuan's youngest son cried for a long time, and the rash that was not obvious on his body became more and more serious, and he hardly had a moment of peace.Although he is mean to outsiders, his three sons are really his future support.Even Ye Herong did something that made him lose face, and he didn't delay the time to go to school in the town.

For some reason, he recalled the meeting of Su Mu on the mountain when he was picking herbs that day, and those words lingered in his mind like a magic voice.
