Chapter 12: The Fruits of Summer

The boy's situation has improved, everyone has an interest in chatting, and during the conversation, the eldest sister-in-law shows a mature connotation, elegant temperament, cunning words and decent and generous demeanor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

During this period, Yuan Fang asked Erniu about their origins, and it was indeed Da Niu's sister-in-law who answered, and the answer was very clever, only saying that they came from Yingnan County, and the others passed by, although it was perfunctory, but it was not rude.

Moreover, it can be seen from the conversation that this group should be dominated by Da Niu's sister-in-law, because whenever Yuan Fang and Yang Xing asked about any of their family affairs or some private questions, everyone else habitually looked at Da Niu's sister-in-law, and Da Niu's sister-in-law did not leave a trace of perfunctory past.

Although Yuan Fang has not been in this world for a long time, there are definitely a lot of people he has come into contact with these days, especially those refugees who came together, they are all authentic countrymen, they are rough in their speech, what to say, how painful to say, and these people in front of him, although they are dressed like mountain cannons, they talk very differently, of course, Yuan Fang does not have the idea of getting to the bottom of it, everyone just meets in Pingshui.

About two hours passed, far away, the figure of the big cow appeared on the country road, the second cow hurriedly caught up, took the bamboo basket on the back of the big cow and was full of joy.

There are three round watermelons in the bamboo basket, two large and one small, with pale yellow horizontal stripes on the dark green melon skin, and a thin layer of hoarfrost hanging on it, which looks like it has just been picked not long ago.

Yuan Fang saw that there were only three watermelons in the bamboo basket, and Da Niu's hand was empty, so he asked puzzledly: "Where is the antipyretic medicine?" ”

Da Niu said angrily: "I said all my good words, and finally exchanged the duck for the duck, but the doctor just refused, so I exchanged the duck for three watermelons, doctor, how is my son?" ”

Yuan Fang sighed, it turned out that the doctors in this world were not as kind-hearted as Dr. Ye. Sister-in-law Niu said with a happy face: "Mingjie is not hot now." ”

Da Niu was overjoyed, squatted beside the boy and reached out to touch the boy's head, and said to Yuan Fang with a grateful face: "Thank you, thank you so much." ”

Then he slapped his forehead fiercely, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I didn't ask the names of the two just now." ”

Yuan Fang smiled faintly, and before he could speak, Yang Xing hurriedly said: "My boss's name is Yuan Fang, but he is quite a powerful doctor, I am Yang Xing, and I am also a little skilled in medicine." ”

Da Niu stood up and bowed: "Thank you Dr. Yuan and Dr. Yang for their help, I am grateful, and I will never shirk it in the future." ”

Yuan Fang glanced at Yang Xing, who was made to smile by a sound of Doctor Yang, waved his hand and said, "You're polite, it's just a gesture." ”

Seeing that Da Niu wanted to say something, Yuan Fang interrupted and said, "I want the child to get better quickly, hurry up and eat some watermelon to replenish water and sugar." ”

Da Niu slapped his head, picked up the largest watermelon and turned around, did not find the right tool, and was about to fall on the stone, Yang Xing hurriedly stopped him, took out a dagger from his boots and handed it to Da Niu and said, "Don't fall, use this to cut." Da Niu took the dagger and secretly glanced at the tattered boots on Yang Xing's feet, and was in a dilemma.

Yuan Fang saw the embarrassment of the big cow, and gave Yang Xing a violent smile: "Let's wash it first, it's not very clean when it is just picked from the ground." Yuan Fang's words were regarded as relieving the big cow, he smiled gratefully, washed and washed the watermelon by the river with his arms, and washed the dagger several times by the way, and then came back complacently.

The watermelon is completely ripe, and the pink and white melon pulp with fine grains of sand dripping down the incision makes it look very delicious.

Da Niu took the largest watermelon and handed it to his wife, Da Niu's sister-in-law lovingly sent the watermelon to the boy's mouth, watching the child gobble up one bite after another, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, as if he was eating the watermelon.

Looking at the watermelon, Yuan Fang hummed silently: 'Maybe give up (water duck) to get close to you (watermelon), no longer see you (water duck) you (watermelon) will come to me, time accumulates, this summer fruit (watermelon), the lonely aroma in memories, I want to try to eat you (watermelon), don't think about you (water duck) anymore, although this is not my intention." Well, Yuan Fang's original intention was to eat both the watermelon and the duck.

The two little girls stood behind their mother obediently, watching their younger brother eat watermelon and swallow saliva secretly, looking pitiful and pitiful, has the patriarchy in this world reached such a serious point?

Yuan Fang glanced at Da Niu dissatisfied, picked up two pieces of watermelon and handed them to the two little girls, and said in a commanding tone: "You also have to replenish water, eat quickly." The two girls first glanced at their mother, saw their mother nodding happily and took the watermelon, and politely thanked Yuan Fang, then lowered their heads and took a reserved sip.

Da Niu returned the dagger to Yang Xing, and Yang Xing asked in wonder, "What's wrong?" Aren't there still two and a half watermelons that haven't been cut? ”

Da Niu scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "These watermelons were exchanged for your water ducks, and of course they belong to you, we are already very grateful for eating half of them, and you can eat the rest." ”

Yang Xing rolled his eyes and said, "I said Brother Da Niu, you are too hypocritical, are you so clear that you can only use a few watermelons?" ”

Yuan Fang is also the boss who is not happy: "It's not easy, it's not easy to go out, some eat together, who hasn't encountered difficulties yet." ”

Da Niu was said to be red-faced, and finally slapped his thigh and said, "It's me who is hypocritical, come, let's eat together." ”

Yang Xing smiled: "That's right, come, I'll cut it." ”

Everyone has a piece of watermelon, the big cow, the second cow, the third cow and Yuan Fang, Yang Xing eat quite boldly, the mouth is full of juice, the cow's sister-in-law and the second cow's sister-in-law are much more elegant, and the two little girls are the same, taste in small bites.

After a while, several people killed two watermelons, looking at the melon peels all over the ground, Da Niu laughed heartily, and looked at Yuan Fang and Yang Xing with a little more kindness and less defense.

The weather is too hot, the heat is thick, although the boy's body has recovered a little, but it is not suitable for rushing now, Yuan Fang and Yang Xing ate a stomach of watermelon can't hold it, and they have to rest to digest it, so everyone sat by the river and chatted and rested.

Erniu, who was full of food and drink, sat on the ground with his stomach patted his stomach and asked with a smile: "Doctor Yuan, Doctor Yang, where are you going to go?" ”

Yuan Fang did not hide it: "Let's go to Phantom Feather City to join my senior brother." (Doctor Qin is Doctor Ye's apprentice, and Yuan Fang is Doctor Ye's nephew, so it is natural to call Doctor Qin a senior brother.) )

Hearing this, Erniu and Sanniu secretly looked at Da Niu, and Da Niu smiled and said: "We are going to Baihua County, just on the same road, if the two of you don't dislike it, we can go together, and there will be a good response on the road." Yuan Fang naturally wouldn't refuse, especially after hearing that there were robbers who robbed clothes, he had a shadow in his heart and agreed immediately.

In the evening, the heat receded a little, and the group went on the road together, the best three cows carried the bamboo building on their backs, pretending to be the last watermelon and walked in front, the second cow walked at the end, Da Niu, Yuan Fang and Yang Xing and two women and three children walked in the middle, and rushed to the next village along the country road, hoping to find a place to spend the night before dark, so that the children would not sleep on the streets.

The three children were carried by their parents on their shoulders, and they did not slow down, but the adults were a little tired. Before dark, the group came to Tianhu Village, Yang Xing volunteered to find someone to stay at, not to mention, it didn't take long for Yang Xing to run back to greet everyone: "Found it, found it, but their house is a little small, can only vacate a room, I looked, the place is not big, at most enough for two sisters-in-law and children to live, but their family has a horse shed, there are no horses in it, all are hay, we can get together there for the night." After speaking, he looked at the big bull and asked for their opinions.

Da Niu cautiously asked, "Who are the people in the family?" ”

Yang Xing replied: "There are only two old people in their sixties, and there is no one else." ”

Da Niu put his mind at ease, nodded and said, "Then please ask Dr. Yang to lead the way." ”

Yang Xing liked to be called Doctor Yang very much, so he suddenly smiled, picked up the eldest little girl on his back, and strode towards the village. The little girl also liked Yang Xing very much, without the slightest resistance, lying on Yang Xing's back and playing with Yang Xing's hair mischievously, Yang Xing turned around from time to time to make a grimace, making the little girl giggle.

Yuan Fang is also very popular with children, especially after getting acquainted, another little girl and little boy are also pestering Yuan Fang, Yuan Fang is holding the little boy in his arms, carrying the little girl on his back, as if wearing a vest, the mother of the two children wanted to take over the child several times, but the two little guys refused to live or die, and they couldn't get down on Yuan Fang, and the big cows smiled bitterly, if it weren't for the fact that Yuan Fang and Yang Xing both liked a few children from the bottom of their hearts, they would definitely think that these two goods were not doctors, but traffickers who abducted and sold children.

The place Yang Xing is looking for is an old house in the west of the village, the house is indeed very small, there is only one main house, a straw shed similar to a warehouse, a small yard, but it is very clean, an old couple is standing at the door waiting at this time, greeting everyone with a kind face.

Yuan Fang put down the two children, bowed his head politely and said: "Thank you two old people for taking them in, we are really inconvenient, and we will definitely repay the two of you for staying overnight in the future." ”

The old man's face was thin, but his eyes were very bright, his complexion was ruddy and there were no brown spots, his body was very tough, and the old woman had gray hair, a kind face, and a slightly chubby figure, and she was also very healthy.

The old man smiled and said, "What's not gracious, even if you stay for one night, the house is empty and empty." Wife, do you have anything else to eat at home? ”

Hearing this, Da Niu hurriedly spoke: "Don't bother, old man, we've eaten." The old man was stunned, nodded slightly, and did not insist, and turned sideways to invite everyone into the house.
