Chapter 032: It's an Adult's Business

Kang Lin went to ask for a doctor, he has been there for almost an hour, and he should be back soon.

"You bring some food first, Ping An shouldn't have eaten yet, right?"

"Sister, I'll go now, you and my grandfather haven't eaten, right?" Rushuang saw Xia Xiaoyu shaking his head, so he said, "I'll serve more, and you have to eat a little more." ”

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Rushuang shook his head and left.

Xia Xiaoyu stretched out her hand and rubbed Ping An who had been standing in front of the bed, tears not dry, "Ping An, don't worry!" Your tiger sister will be fine. ”

"Auntie, I don't know what's going on with the tiger girl? When I woke up in the morning, she was still asleep, and when I called her to wake up, I realized that she was so hot. Ping An was very scared, she had watched her mother die of illness.

Xia Xiaoyu squatted down and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "It's okay!" Don't worry, the tiger girl will be fine. ”

These words were to soothe the peace, but also to soothe her own heart.

"Well, I know! The tiger girl will be fine, she still has to accompany me to practice martial arts. Ping An sniffed and nodded heavily.

"Yes!" Xia Xiaoyu got up, changed a handkerchief to wet it, wrung out the water and handed it to Baili Huaqing, "Apply cold water to her first, Kang Lin has been out for so long, he should be able to come back soon." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Kang Lin's voice came from the door, "Master, the doctor is here." ”

"Hurry, doctor, show the little girl." Baili Huaqing got up and stopped the old doctor who was about to salute, "Doctor, don't be polite, hurry up and check the pulse of the little girl to see what is wrong with this girl?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Lord Wang, don't worry first, the old decay will take the pulse first. The old doctor hurriedly put down the medicine box and sat down to listen to the pulse of the tiger girl.

After a long while, the old doctor let go of his hand, tucked the quilt for Hu Niu, got up and hugged his fist towards Baili Huaqing, and said with a solemn face: "Lord Wang, the county lord is poisoned, I'm afraid the old man can't do anything." ”

"Poisoned? How is this possible? She was fine last night. Xia Xiaoyu asked in surprise.

The old doctor looked at Xia Xiaoyu and said with a stern expression: "The county lord is indeed the main poison, and the poison in her is not acute, but has been coming down for many years. It is this poison that is why the county lord has always been weak and sickly. ”

Baili Huaqing nodded, held the old doctor's hand anxiously, and asked, "Could it be that the doctor has no way at all?" ”

The old doctor pondered for a while, then looked up at Baili Huaqing, and said: "Lord, the old man can only do his best, first find a way to protect the county lord's life for the time being, and the rest has to be found by the prince." ”

"Stop." Xia Xiaoyu suddenly shouted, "Huaqing, you need to send a message immediately and let people find Rong Zhi back." ”

On the side, Kang Lin immediately responded: "Master, leave this matter to Kang Lin, Kang Lin will immediately let people do it, and he will definitely try his best to find Doctor Rong back." ”

"Good! I'll leave this matter to you, and be sure to send more people out to find it. Baili Huaqing nodded and let go of the old doctor's hand, "Doctor, you can make a prescription first, I have to trouble the doctor to live here for a few days recently, I don't know if it's inconvenient?" ”

"Convenient, convenient. The old man prescribed a prescription and immediately asked people to go to the county to grab medicine. ”

"No need, I have ready-made medicinal materials in my house, and the doctor can go there to grab the medicine." Baili Huaqing stretched out his hand and made an invitation, "Doctor, please come with me, and I will take you to the pharmacy." ”

Doctor Qin fled after the incident, and there were all kinds of medicinal materials in the pharmacy.

"Lord Wang, please."

"Hmm." Baili Huaqing nodded and looked at Xia Xiaoyu on the side, "Xiaoyu, the tiger girl will be taken care of by you, and I will go back when I go." ”

"Okay, there you go."

Xia Xiaoyu re-twisted the veil, walked to the bed and sat down, and said while wiping the sweat for the tiger girl: "Tiger girl, you have to come on!" You must hold on, my mother still has a lot of delicious things to do? When you're ready, my mother will make it for you to eat, okay? ”

Ping'an walked to Xia Xiaoyu's side and grabbed her hand tightly, "Auntie, the tiger girl will be fine, right?" ”

Xia Xiaoyu turned his head to look at it, and saw that Ping'an's eyes were red, and he wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, which made people feel distressed, "It's okay!" Tiger Girl will be fine! ”

"Really?"

"Really!"

Ping'an seemed to listen to Xia Xiaoyu's repeated affirmations, and her uneasy heart slowly calmed down, she reached out and took the handkerchief in Xia Xiaoyu's hand, walked to the basin, wet it, wring it out, and then handed it back to Xia Xiaoyu, "Auntie, I will take care of the tiger girl with you, she will definitely be fine." ”

"Hmm. Peace is so good! ”

Here, on the road, Baili Huaqing asked the old doctor, "Doctor, how long do you think the poison in the little girl's body has been hit?" ”

The doctor pondered for a moment and said, "According to the old decay, it has been three years, to say the least. ”

Three years?

Bailihua is secretly planning the day when Dong'er comes to the other courtyard, which is quite consistent. Although Lotus has intentions for herself, she is also sincere in what she says to the tiger girl, she will not be the one who poisoned the tiger girl.

It's just that she still went the wrong way after all.

"Doctor, please come here."

"Lord Wang, please."

The pharmacy is close to the former courtyard of the tiger girl, and every qiē is to take care of the tiger girl's body nearby, so from the [Jing Courtyard] to the [Pharmacy] there is actually a tiger girl's yard in the middle.

"Doctor, it's inside, please."

Baili Huaqing led the old doctor into the courtyard, and a strong smell of medicine came to his nose. The door was opened, and the medicine cabinet standing against the four walls inside opened the old doctor's eyes, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

It's really a big deal, how many medicinal materials must be here.

"Doctor, you go and grab the medicine, if there are uneven medicinal materials, I will immediately ask people to go to the county to catch them." Baili Huaqing arrived at the table and sat down, and the old doctor hurriedly responded and began to grab the medicine.

The herbs here are better than those of any pharmacy in the county

Any pharmacy in the county had all the medicinal materials, and it didn't take long for the old doctor to grab all the medicines.

"Hey, what is this?" When the old doctor was closing the medicine box, an iron rope was also pulled out, he couldn't help but be a little curious, and pulled it hard, only to hear a boom, the medicine cabinet in front of him automatically moved to both sides, and a secret door appeared in the middle.

"Lord Wang, this ...... This...... This is? ”

Baili Huaqing got up and walked over quickly, unexpectedly that Doctor Qin had actually set up a secret room in his courtyard, what did he hide in it?

When the secret door opened, the light inside turned on on its own, and Bai Lihua walked in, followed by the old doctor.

"Ahh He looked timidly at Baili Huaqing, and when he saw that his face remained unchanged, he was a little embarrassed.

Baili Huaqing walked to the bones, looked at the familiar clothes, and said softly, "The real Doctor Qin has already died tragically here. ”

There was only one skeleton of Doctor Qin in the secret room, and there were no other sundries.

"Let's get out." Baili Huaqing turned around and walked out of the secret room, carrying the medicine that the old doctor had grabbed and returned to the quiet courtyard together.

"Master, the news has already been dispersed." On the way, he met Kang Lin to restore his life, and Baili Huaqing ordered: "Kang Lin, there is a secret room in the pharmacy, which contains the bones of Doctor Qin, you can find someone to deal with it and bury him." ”

"Yes, sir."

Kang Lin was busy and went down to let people do things.

Baili Huaqing asked the old doctor as he walked, "Doctor, are you still willing to live in the pharmacy temporarily?" ”

The old doctor looked ashamed and responded: "The old man has just lost his temper, which makes the prince laugh." The old man is a person who practices medicine, and he will not be afraid of this, but he was not mentally prepared just now, and he ...... after seeing it all at once."

"I see. In this way, you have to grieve the doctor for a while. ”

"No grievances, no grievances." The old doctor shook his head and waved his hand.

After decocting the medicine and taking it, at night, Hu Niu's fever finally subsided, but when she thought that the poison in her body had been three years, Baili Huaqing felt distressed, and hated those who hurt Hu Niu even more.

Judging from the relationship between Dong'er and Doctor Qin, they are all members of the National Eagle Gang in the west.

According to legend, the Eagle Gang is Emperor Wu's right and left hand, but there is no real evidence for this, and he can't just settle accounts with Emperor Wu, and if he goes to Emperor Wu so rashly, I'm afraid that he will fall for him in vain.

Perhaps, this is the day he was waiting for, so that he would have a reason to send troops openly.

He must find out about this matter.

"Huaqing, what are you thinking? Thinking so distractedly, I didn't even know I was in. Xia Xiaoyu came over with the freshly brewed tea and handed it to Baili Huaqing, "Are you worried about the tiger girl?" ”

"Well, although the tiger girl has temporarily subsided her fever, we can't do anything about the poison in her body." Baili Huaqing put down the teacup, took Xia Xiaoyu's hand, and wrapped it tightly in the palm of his hand, "Xiaoyu, do you know?" At this time, I am fortunate to have you by my side. ”

"Don't say that."

"Really." Baili Huaqing looked at her with a serious face, and said, "After Jing Chu left, the tiger girl is my one." Although I usually have some shares with the tiger girl, in my heart, the tiger girl is the most important thing, which was left to me by Jing Chu. ”

"I understand."

"However, I did not protect her, and let her be hurt under my own nose. Sometimes, I really feel useless. Baili Huaqing's tone was full of depression.

Xia Xiaoyu withdrew his hand, hugged his head and leaned on his arms, patted him on the back, and said, "This is not what you think, Hu Niu will not blame you, and Sister Jingchu will not blame you, why do you blame yourself so much?" Now, what we want is not to blame ourselves, but to find tolerance as much as possible, and to solve the poison in the tiger girl's body. ”

"Well, I understand." Baili Huaqing nestled into her arms, feeling the strength that her gentleness brought to herself.

The next day, the tiger girl was able to get out of bed, and after the fever subsided, the little one rested for the night, and the person was alive and kicking again as before. It's just that in the eyes of these insiders, they can't help but feel distressed.

Because, no one knows, next time, when she will be poisoned again.

After eating Xia Xiaoyu's full potato feast and her boiled potatoes, Baili Huaqing was determined to expand and promote the idea of planting potatoes. On this day, he accompanied Xia Xiaoyu and took his subordinates to the field to dig potatoes.

He wants everyone to realize the value of potatoes, which are easy to grow, have high yields, and fill their stomachs, which is what he wants.

Most of the land in Baili Country is sandy land, which is not suitable for growing rice, and if it is replaced by planting potatoes, perhaps there will be no problem with the grain of Baili Country. Xia Xiaoyu is right, no matter how bad it is, they can adopt the aspect of exchanging grain for grain, exchanging potatoes for rice and flour rice, which is also okay.

They all say that scarcity is expensive, and they use their own advantages to grow their own grain and fruits, and he will no longer have to worry about food problems in the future.

"Wow, this potato is so big."

"Look at this one, there's eight potatoes in it."

"I'm not bad at this, all of them are so big."

"Now we are blessed, wait for the autumn to plant another crop, and harvest it in the spring of next year, do you still have to worry about the grain in the first half of next year?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Let's be a little more diverse, we all have to learn hard from Miss Xia, and we must learn this ability to fill our stomachs. ”

Everyone, you say a word, I say a word, happily digging potatoes, how excited you are.

Baili Huaqing watched the tiger girl and Ping'an also running happily back and forth in the field, and kept moving the potatoes dug up by the adults into the bamboo basket, and couldn't help grinning.

It's a good start.

"Xiaoyu, if this potato is planted twice a year, can this harvest be the same?"

Xia Xiaoyu squinted his eyes and looked at the fields around him

Glancing at the surrounding fields, he said, "If we hadn't changed the land, we wouldn't have had the same harvest." We planted potatoes in the first half of the year, and we should think about planting something else in the second half of the year. After the potatoes are harvested next spring, we can plant some corn and soybeans, so that the nutrients of the land will be better if we plant them in rotation. ”

"I see." Baili Huaqing nodded.

Xia Xiaoyu pointed to the small hillside around and said, "Huaqing, I have seen many places here, and I have also surveyed the fields near the mine. Such a mountain is not suitable for growing food, but it can grow fruits and tea. ”

"Fruit and tea?"

"That's right! On the small hillside around here, I have asked Huber to find someone to open it, and we will plant tea next spring. Where there are many stones, we plant dragon fruit and grapes, and we can also grow loquat fruits. What fruits do you have here, you can also promote and plant them, and when there is a harvest, these fruits are also a great wealth, and we don't have to worry about the problem of food not being able to continue at all. ”

She has thought about it, tea and fruits are indispensable things in life, and with these, why worry that the grain of the western border country or other countries cannot flow into the hundred mile country.

It's just that it takes several years to harvest fruit and tea, and this gap is very long, and there must be many people who are unwilling to accept such land planting reforms. People are often only worried about whether they can fill their stomachs at the moment.

This may be a difficult ideological reform.

Baili Huaqing took Xia Xiaoyu's hand, looked at her affectionately, and said: "Xiaoyu, you are really the lucky star of our Baili Country, and I will hand over these earthly things to you in the future." If there's anything you need my help with, just ask, and I'll do it. ”

"That's fine, but there's an important issue right now."

"What's the problem?"

"Water."

"Water?"

"That's right! It's water. Xia Xiaoyu pointed to the small river not far away and said, "You also know that the entire life and irrigation of crops in [Jingchu Valley] come from this river. If we want to grow tea and fruit in the mountains, we need water. If you ask people to carry water, this obviously will not work, and it will be a waste of manpower. I want to build a water conservancy and bring down the water from the lake on Guling Mountain. ”

"You've also been to see Guling Mountain?" Baili Huaqing couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect Xia Xiaoyu to carry him and do so many things.

Xia Xiaoyu nodded, "Qiu Bo took me there." ”

"What you say is all true, taking advantage of the lack of rain in autumn and winter, this matter has to be done. Water conservancy, I have to ask Lei Yiming to find someone who can come over in this area, and I'll let Kang Lin do it later. "Baili Huaqing is easy to understand, and I agree with Xia Xiaoyu's opinion.

"Hmm."

"Dad, mother, look, I found a potato doll." Hu Niu ran over with a potato held high, and chased after her, shouting: "Hu Niu, be careful, don't fall." ”

Baili Huaqing strode over, stretched out his hand to grab it, and picked up the tiger girl, "Tiger girl, don't run around, what should I do if I fall?" You see, Sister Ping An is not as reckless as you. ”

"Dad, look, doesn't this potato look like a little doll?"

Hu Niu laughed embarrassedly a few times, and hurriedly handed the potatoes in her hand to Baili Huaqing, Baili Huaqing looked down, and nodded, "Like, it does look like a little doll." My tiger girl is so amazing that she can even find a potato that looks like a doll. ”

Ping An chased after him, a little out of breath.

Baili Huaqing put down the tiger girl, rubbed Ping'an's hair, and said, "Tiger girl, Sister Ping'an is tired of protecting you, you can't do this in the future." ”

"Oh, I see." Hu Niu responded, walked to Ping'an's side, took her hand, looked up at Baili Huaqing, and said very seriously: "Dad, can you also be Sister Ping'an's father, I said that I want to give Sister Ping'an half of her father and half of her mother." ”

Ping An hung his head a little uneasily.

Xia Xiaoyu stepped forward and took Ping'an's other hand.

Baili Huaqing looked at the tiger girl dotingly, and said with a smile: "Of course you can." ”

"But, I only have my father." The tiger girl blinked and looked at Baili Huaqing.

"Tiger girl, don't you keep calling Xiaoyu Niang?" Baili Huaqing was a little confused about what this little girl was thinking?

Hu Niu was angry and unhappy, "However, you didn't marry my mother, this doesn't count." ”

Baili Huaqing finally understood what this girl meant, and couldn't help laughing, and looked at Xia Xiaoyu, who was flushed, and couldn't help but joke, "Tiger girl, this is an adult's business, what are you children doing with this?" ”

"It's not your adult's business, it's still our children's business, Sister Ping'an and I have been waiting for a mother. Dad, you can't be like this, Uncle Kang Lin said, only for your beloved will you eat your lips, last time I saw you eat my mother's lips. If you don't marry my mother, it's irresponsible. ”

What? Lip eating?

Xia Xiaoyu's whole face turned red, and he let go of Ping'an's hand and ran to the tomato field on the side.

Shame to death, Hu Niu's words, the people who were working there heard it, and they all watched her eat and laugh.

Baili Huaqing came back to his senses, stretched out his hand and nodded the forehead of the tiger girl, "You, you!" It's really a big ghost, don't worry about this, I promise to let you have a mother in the right name, right? With that, he also ran to the tomato field.
