Medicine Dao Wanhua

The hills behind Hexi Village are endless. Although they are not so towering, they are still very impressive. Because there are many water veins on the mountain, some paddy fields and vegetable fields have been reclaimed from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain closest to the village. Yes, at this time of year, some people have already started clearing the fields and preparing for a new round of planting.

Fang Chen originally wanted to walk around the foot of the mountain, but after he found that there was nothing he wanted here, he went straight up. Naturally, some people spotted them, but there were many cases of children running around, and they Just look at it and ignore it.

Song Dongxu followed Fang Chen all the time. Seeing that Fang Chen had been silent, he started to talk about things in the city. At this time, Fang Chen was willing to give him some responses. What Song Dongxu said could help Fang Chen understand a lot of things here. Things, things that a nine-year-old child knows, are obviously common sense.

Song Dongxu saw that he liked to listen, although his reaction was still indifferent, but those black and white eyes would look at him from time to time when he was talking, and occasionally ask some questions, these were enough to make Song Dongxu enthusiastic, saying more of them.

Not long after they left, they happened to see Erniu Feng Jie flopping about in the field with a group of older children.A few young ones stood on the side watching, while in the unturned field stood a few older ones barefoot, bent over and touching something in the mud.

"Xiao Chen's side!" Seeing Fang Chen's figure, Feng Jie waved vigorously at him. Ever since Fang Chen gave him milk candy last time, he and Fang Chen have become very warm.

Originally, Fang Chen wanted to ignore them and walk away, but now that everyone has called someone, he had no choice but to go over and have a look: "What are you doing?"

"Touch the loach, and there are snails and eels, you see." The older children generally don't want to play with the younger ones, but it was Feng Jie and the others who pestered them together, and finally got an older touch the loach. Following the order of the small bucket, Feng Jie handed him the small bucket beside him, and Erniu also handed over his own.

Feng Jie's bucket was half full of water, and there were several finger-long loaches, a few small snails, and even a field eel, while Erniu's bucket contained a bunch of tadpoles.

Children love to make trouble, and they go to the fields to touch loaches not necessarily for eating, but mostly for playing. Some also like to catch some tadpoles and so on and take them home to raise them, watching them recede their tails and grow four legs, turning into frogs and toads. Yes, but most of them were tossed to death before they grew up.

"Xiaochen, who is this?" Er Niu hid in fear after seeing Song Dongxu.

Song Dongxu is looking at those children in the field right now, so he has no time to watch this little girl's movies.

"Song Dongxu, from Hedong Village." Fang Chen said simply, "Don't your adults tell you when you come up the mountain? Will you be scolded for bringing these things home?"

"It's okay, don't bring it up." Feng Jie didn't care, even if he was found out, he would be scolded at most.

"Xiaochen, are you going to play in the mountains too?" Erniu glanced at Song Dongxu. The timid Erniu was really a little scared of this strange big boy, he looked really fierce.

"Yeah." Fang Chen didn't intend to say what he came here for, he looked around, and suppressed his voice only for the two children who were in front of him to hear: "You guys come to my house later, there is something delicious, Don't talk about it everywhere." Fang Chen thought about the sweets and snacks that Song Dongxu sent today, although there were not many of them, it was okay for the two of them to try something new, since he didn't like it anyway.

When the two little ones heard it, their eyes immediately lit up, "Then go now?" When they heard that there was something delicious, of course they thought about eating first.

"Not now, I still have something to do, you come back in the afternoon, but you are not allowed to bring other people, otherwise you will not have your share."

"Guaranteed not to bring it!" Children protect food, especially the children here, who can eat less snacks on weekdays, so they are naturally more precious. If there is a piece of candy, they will lick it twice and put it back in the candy paper to save for the next time Except for Fang Chen, no one is so generous as to share the snacks.

"When you come to my house that afternoon, you are not allowed to tell Mama Xia that I have gone up the mountain." Fang Chen asked repeatedly, just not wanting Xia Yunxue to know about her going up the mountain, lest she worry.

"Understood, promise not to tell."

"Ah, snake!!!" Suddenly there was a loud cry from the field, and the first reaction of all the people who heard this was to rush away, and they stopped to wait and see after running far away, although many of them I am not afraid of snakes, but when I heard a snake, I still ran away.

Fang Chen didn't run away when he heard the sound, but followed the sound, and saw an eleven or twelve-year-old black and thin boy holding a two-finger-thick small snake in his hand, and the position of his grasp was wrong. It was the snake's body that was grabbed, and the snake directly bit his arm. As soon as his hand hurt, the child threw the snake away, and then hugged the bitten hand and howled dryly.

Fang Chen was about to go over to see his injuries, but Song Dongxu had already rushed over, holding a stone he found somewhere in his hand, and slammed down on the snake that was about to escape on the ground, knocking his tongue out. Fang Chen was taken aback for a moment as he looked at it fiercely.

"It's okay, the snake is dead, don't be afraid." Song Dongxu saw that the snake didn't move, turned around and saw Fang Chen staring at him stupidly, thinking that he was frightened, and hurried back to imitate what he saw before. The grown-up looked soothing, and reached out to pat him on the back.

"I'm not afraid!" Fang Chen wanted to roll his eyes, but he felt that this action was really indecent, so he gave Song Dongxu a glare, and went to check on the situation of the child who was bitten by the snake.

Song Dongxu was not annoyed by his stare, he just thought he was trying to be brave, and walked along with him to see what happened.

Fang Chen walked up to the howling boy to look at his wound, at this time some children had reacted and went to find an adult.

On the boy's arm was a row of tooth marks that were arranged in a jagged shape and in an arc. The wound was not deep, and the blood that flowed out was bright red. It seemed that there was no poison. The body of the snake, which is still wriggling after removing the snake's head, looks like a common water snake in the fields from the pattern, and it is not poisonous.

Presumably the snake was hiding in the mud hole. When the boy saw the mud hole, he thought it was an eel hole, so he dug it out with his hands and the snake was pulled out.

"It hurts so much, am I going to die?" The boy usually heard adults say that he would die if he was bitten by a poisonous snake. Now that he was bitten, the wound hurt so much that he thought he was hopeless, crying with snot and tears Fang Chen retched while looking at his face.

Taking a step back carefully, Fang Chen kept the distance between the two of them: "This snake is not poisonous, it won't die. It will be fine after a while."

"Really?" The boy didn't care that the other party was younger than him, so how could he know this? Hearing him say that now, he felt that the wound really didn't hurt that much, much lighter than when he was stung by a bee up.

Fang Chen nodded, and before he could say anything more, an adult who heard the news and ran from the field not far away came to check the situation.

Seeing this, Fang Chen quietly withdrew from the crowd, preparing to continue up the mountain.

"Xiaochen, there are snakes and wild beasts in the mountains, don't go?" Song Dongxu saw the scene just now, and he naturally remembered what his uncle told him yesterday. There are wild beasts in the mountains, which can hurt people. Don't go to the mountains, Song Dongxu didn't think so at that time, but now he thinks that snakes bite people even in places that are not considered to be in the mountains, and the mountains are not more dangerous.

"If you don't want to go, stay here. I'll go by myself." Although Fang Chen had lost most of his martial arts and had little internal energy to use right now, he had a lot of self-defense. Ordinary beasts really couldn't get into him. And what he was going to was not the deep mountains and old forests inside, just wandering around this mountain, how could there be so many wild beasts that would hurt him.

Seeing that he didn't listen, Song Dongxu asked himself to stay, how could this be possible?He casually pulled a bamboo pole from someone's field, "That's not okay, if I don't follow you, who will protect you?" He has a good memory, and he also knows the story of beating grass and scaring snakes.

Hearing a child say that he wanted to protect him, Fang Chen couldn't laugh or cry, but he changed his mind about Song Dongxu. Although he hated him a little, he was not bad-hearted after all, and seeing the viciousness of beating the snake just now, he grew up. There must be something promising in the future, so my bad attitude towards him eased up a bit.

Although I don't know why Fang Chen suddenly stopped looking at him so coldly, Song Dongxu still felt very happy. He beat the grass with the bamboo pole along the way, and he was extremely busy.

Originally, Song Dongxu had thought about it. If there was another snake appearing, he would immediately kill the snake and let Fang Chen see his heroic appearance. Unfortunately, he didn't know whether it was because he was making too much noise or the time was wrong. I picked a lot of herbs, but I still didn't find a snake shadow.

"Xiaochen, what are you picking those weeds for? They are inedible and unsightly. If you like them, how about I bring you some from my uncle later? There are a lot of flowers in their yard. "Song Dongxu was originally curious about what Fang Chen went up the mountain for, but now he saw that he was just picking some weeds that were completely useless in his opinion, which was not fun at all, and he suddenly felt bored.

"I just like these, so I don't want your broken flowers!" Fang Chen thinks that he should continue to hate him. He is not a girl, so he wants beautiful flowers!
