Back to the Countryside

Lin Sheng felt a little sad when he heard his sleep talk. When He Ling's father left, he was only six years old, about the same age as his son.

Huzi is now in his naughty season, staying away from home all day long, running wildly all over the village with the boys in the village.At that time, He Ling was probably living carefully under the eyes of his grandmother and uncle's family who didn't like him very much.

Wu Yulan didn't think about it that much, she stared at the intertwined hands, and her complexion became more and more strange.

Footsteps sounded at the door, Qi Yue gently pulled out his hand, got up and stood beside the bed.

While He Ling was emptying his hands, a tear rolled from the corner of his eye, landed on the pillow, and fainted.The expression on his face changed to weeping, like an abandoned child, and the red plum between his brows was imprinted at that moment, so gorgeous that it seemed to bleed.

Qi Yue put the hand behind his back and slowly held it, looking down at the man's appearance, he frowned slightly.

After He Zhen entered the door, she felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit strange, and before she had time to think about it, Wu Yulan came over to take the water basin in his hand, and he didn't think about it any more.

Wu Yulan knew why He Zhen was bringing water here, but, "There is no cloth towel!"

He Zhen never does any work at home, so it's okay to ask him to bring a basin of water. How could he possibly figure out what his intentions are.

Qi Yue took out a neatly folded white silk handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it over, saying, "Use this."

"This handkerchief should be quite expensive, right?" Although Lin Sheng is a rough man, he can tell the difference between good and bad. The material of this handkerchief looks good at first glance, so you just use it for others?

It was Wu Yulan who stuffed the water basin into Lin Sheng's arms, then took the handkerchief and threw it into the water to soak it. After a brief rubbing and washing, she wrung out the water and sat on the side of the bed to wipe the thin cloth on He Ling's face and neck. sweat.

Lin Sheng looked at her in surprise. Last time at home, he asked Qi Yue to persuade Qi Yue that even if he had money, he should not spend it recklessly, and he should keep it just in case. How could he be so forthright this time? !

He Zhen was very reluctant in her heart. The things she carried with her must be used by herself, but now they are used on He Ling, which makes him a little unhappy!

Watching Wu Yulan wipe He Ling's hands, face and neck carefully, and then wash and wring out the handkerchief and put it on his forehead to cool off the heat, Qi Yue opened his medicine box on the ground and took out a white porcelain bottle from it. Pass it over, "Sister-in-law give him one pill."

Wu Yulan took the bottle and poured out a pill in the palm of her hand. The pill was only the size of a soybean and was brown in color.She put the pill into He Ling's mouth, lifted his chin lightly, watched him swallow the medicine with a movement of his throat, and then let go.

"Brother Qi's pills are good. Old man Li usually prescribes the herbs directly. Once boiled, it turns into a big bowl. It smells bad and tastes bad!" Lin Sheng saw that his pills were quite novel. There are medical clinics on the Internet, and the ones sold are more expensive than medicinal herbs, and ordinary people seldom buy them.

"What's the matter? Do you want to get one if you're so curious?" Wu Yulan gave him a gouged look, and made a gesture to pull out the cork that had just been put back on the bottle.

Lin Sheng was holding a basin and couldn't wave his hands, so he hurriedly took a step back, "No, no, I'm not sick, why should I take this stuff, besides, this medicine is definitely not cheap, so I don't want to waste it!"

Seeing that the couple were so funny, Qi Yue thought it was interesting, and slowly curled the corners of his lips.

"This medicine...is it really expensive?" He Zhen looked hesitantly at the medicine bottle held by Wu Yulan. He didn't want to spend too much money on such a disgusting thing. Mother will not agree.

As soon as he asked this, the eyes of the three people in the room turned around. Wu Yulan only took one look and then turned back. Lin Sheng didn't speak this time, but his eyes were obviously full of sarcasm.At this time, they don't care about the people, they only care about the price, which is like their family's style.

Qi Yue's medicine is not commonly used for wind-cold medicine, and its price is naturally unusual.Of course, he didn't intend to say these things, "I've only been in the village for a short time, and today I have the right to visit the village. This medicine is a gift for meeting, and no money will be charged."

He Zhen looked at those black eyes staring at her, and always felt that they were full of deep meaning. He seemed to have thought of something, and lowered his head with blushing cheeks.Did he mean to visit his parents?Does he have feelings for himself?

Lin Sheng opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. Since Qi Yue told him that he has no intention of admiring He Zhen, then he should stop guessing wildly!

Wu Yulan sighed softly, stretched out her hand to straighten the quilt for He Ling, and believed in the guess in her heart again.

"In the past two days, his body may become weak and weak, and he will not be able to work. Take care of him carefully!" He is in poor health, and he usually holds his breath. Once he gets sick, it will be difficult to recover.

"Okay, I got it!" He Zhen agreed quickly, but she didn't take it seriously in her heart. He Ling had been pale for half a month since childhood, and seemed to fall down at any time, but he still had to do what he had to do. I have to do it, didn't I see that he really has something to do!

Looking at the expression on his face, Qi Yue knew that he didn't take his words to heart, and he slightly suppressed the smile on his lips.

"You have to take good care of it, otherwise you won't be cured. Wouldn't it make people think that brother Qi is not good at medicine, and this reputation is not good!" Wu Yulan fiddled with He Ling's hair that had fallen to the neck and put it on the pillow. Talking to himself.

After hearing what she said, He Zhen began to wonder in her heart. He is going to marry Qi Yue in the future, how can he let others say that he is not good, isn't it just embarrassing himself, "Don't worry, I will marry my cousin in the next few days Rest well, I will tell my parents!"

Qi Yue smiled and nodded, then looked at Wu Yulan calmly.It is said that husbands and wives complement each other, and this statement is true. Lin Sheng is honest and upright, and his mind often cannot turn around. He is really a smart man to marry a wife!

Wu Yulan stood up, raised the porcelain bottle in her hand, and looked over with questioning eyes. Qi Yue raised his hand to signal her to put it on the window sill, and then said to He Zhen: "When he wakes up, please tell him that the pills in the bottle are taken once a day." Pieces, just eat it."

There are seven pills in this bottle of □□, one pill was given to He Ling just now, and there are six pills left, which can be given to him for another six days.The medicinal materials used in this medicine are extremely mild and have the effect of nourishing the body. His illness will soon be cured. Taking the medicine for a few more days is to warm and nourish his body.

After He Zhen nodded in agreement, the three of them didn't plan to stay any longer, and it was getting late. There were old and young in Lin Sheng's house, and Wu Yulan had to go back to cook.

Qi Yue picked up the medicine box, turned his head and glanced at the person lying on the bed, then turned his head and followed them out of the room.

Not long after they left, He Ling opened his eyes, looked around the dimly lit room, and his consciousness slowly returned. He moved his arms to prop up his somewhat weak body.

Something fell on his forehead, and he reached out to pick it up blankly. It was a white silk handkerchief, with a cluster of orchids embroidered in the corner, very elegant and beautiful!How could this kind of cheap thing appear on me?

While he was staring at the handkerchief in a daze, the dilapidated door was pushed open, and He Zhen walked in with a bowl in her hand. Seeing that he was already awake, she put the bowl on the window sill beside his bed. Fang, said bluntly: "The eldest young master finally woke up?"

He always talked like this, and He Ling didn't care too much. He reached out and lifted the quilt to get out of bed.

"Okay, stay on the bed!" He Zhen stretched out her hand and pushed him, stopping him from getting out of bed.

He Ling raised his head and looked at him with slightly wide eyes. He felt a little unbelievable that the other party asked him to stay on the bed and rest?

"What are you looking at? Do you think I want to?" He Zhen rolled her eyes in disdain, and pointed him to the porcelain bottle on the window sill, "Qi Yue prescribed the medicine, take one a day!"

Qi Yue?He Ling's head was a little dazed, so what does it matter to that person?

"You don't need to do any work for the next few days, but you can't leave me the purse I asked you to embroider, and embroider it for me as soon as possible!" He Zhen didn't care about his confusion, and explained to herself, She snatched the silk handkerchief from his hand again, and glared at him at the same time, "It's a waste of Qi Yue's things for you to use!"

Seeing He Zhen leaving the room angrily, He Ling rubbed his head to organize his thoughts, and when he got a little smoother, he looked back at the window sill, and instead of touching the bowl of porridge, he put the little bottle He took it over, held it in his hand for a while, then held it tightly against his chest, and murmured: "He helped me again..."

He Zhen walked briskly in the village, touched the purse in her sleeve, her face was full of joy, and when she met someone, she called her aunt or uncle, and her mouth was very sweet.

When someone asked curiously, he smiled very shyly, saying that Qi Yue helped him two days ago, and today he went over to express his thanks.

The person who asked looked at his shy and happy face, and there was nothing he didn't understand.People who knew what happened at the entrance of the village a while ago couldn't help sighing, this brother of the He family is also capable, and he really took down the wealthy son-in-law!

Naturally, He Zhen can understand what other people think, but he doesn't know how to explain it. The more crooked their thinking, the more beneficial it is for him, and the matter between him and Qi Yue can be completed faster.

Seeing the courtyard of the green brick and tile houses from a distance, He Zhen's heart beat faster. From now on, this beautiful courtyard and the handsome man in the courtyard will be his own, and he will become the most enviable person in this ancient water village. brothers!

When he got to the door, he carefully arranged his clothes and hair before raising his hand to knock on the door knocker.The clothes he picked today suit him very well, making him look very ruddy and good-looking, which will definitely make the other party feel good about him.

Unhurried footsteps came from behind the door, just like Qi Yue, who always looked calm, gentle and polite, never flustered or urgent in doing anything, as if everything could be easily resolved.

I don't know if such a person, when talking about those love words, is not more gentle and disturbing?Thinking of something that should not be thought, He Zhen's face was soon stained red.

The sound of the door opening brought back his thoughts, he looked up and saw Qi Yue standing behind the door, wearing light blue clothes, he looked even more refined and handsome!

Seeing the person coming, Qi Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, he put down his hand to open the door, nodded slightly, and said: "Brother He came here, but it makes my cousin feel unwell?"

"No, it's not!" Seeing him, He Zhen felt that her whole face was going to burn. He looked away shyly, and handed over the purse that had been in his sleeve, "To thank you, I specially I embroidered a purse, and I hope Brother Qi will not dislike it!"

Qi Yue looked down at the thing handed to him, his eyes flickered, "You embroidered it?"

"Exactly!" He Zhen nodded lightly, her gaze was very sincere, "I don't know much, and I'm only good at embroidery, so I thought about embroidering a purse for Brother Qi!"

"Oh? That's it!" The smile on Qi Yue's face suddenly deepened. He stretched out his bony hand to pinch the tether on the purse, gently lifted it up and held it in his hand, and said, "Then I will accept it." Yes, thank you!"

"Brother Qi, as long as he likes it!" Seeing him accepting what he gave, He Zhen was both pleasantly surprised and shy, "I..."

"Then I won't give it away!" Qi Yue interrupted his unfinished sentence.

He Zhen was startled, but when she looked up, she saw a gentle and polite smile. He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Qi Yue was driving him away, presumably he had something to do, maybe, he was also a little embarrassed?He secretly smiled, feeling that the future is long, and today is enough, so he said reluctantly: "Then I will go first, and I will talk to Brother Qi some other day!"

Seeing the people leave, Qi Yue closed the door, looked down at the purse in his hand, and gently rubbed the character "Ling" embroidered under the green bamboo with his fingers. .

If he remembered correctly, he had seen this in He Ling's room before, and it was placed on the inside of his bedside. At that time, there was only a "Ling" character embroidered in it, and he couldn't quite tell what it was, but the fabric and The color of the silk thread is indeed the same as that of the purse.

"Oh," Qi Yue chuckled, "So that's how it is."
