"Good morning, sister, it's so early today." Xiaojiu rubbed her eyes, picked up the ladle next to the basin and scooped out hot water from the big pot. She reached out and touched it. She felt it was still a little hot, so she went to the corner of the kitchen again. I took half a ladle of cold water from the large water tank.

I had sweet potato and wild vegetable porridge this morning. Xiaojiu's mother always wakes up later than them because of her health, but fortunately she wakes up before the firewood burns out. At this time, the porridge and medicine are both hot, which is good for the body.

She and Xiaojiu were going out to buy more than just daily necessities. The medicinal materials in the woods around the village are limited, and it takes time to process and dry them. Therefore, during this blank period, you can only rely on purchasing.

After all, the number of patients in the village is not limited to two or three families. Over time, trust is built up, and those villagers who happen to be inconvenient to travel far will directly give Wutong Mola and entrust her to help them purchase.

Maybe God is really fair.

This village is mostly made up of disaster victims who have fled from all directions. Even how the village chief was selected cannot be traced back to the truth. Everyone is more or less conservative and self-contained, but they are also hard-working, honest, honest and sincere. The clothes of several poor families were mended again and again, but the epidemic and disaster never came.

In this summer, people fall ill due to common seasonal diseases.

For example, if you don't take a nap after a meal, you have to go to the big open space to play wildly. A child suffering from heat stroke will look like a sycamore tree, which is like a stamp collection. Each person has seen it once.

There are also people with gastroenteritis. After the leftover food at home, they don’t keep it properly and are reluctant to throw it away. They get sour after eating it, but they insist on saying that it’s not bad and can be eaten. As a result, I was almost dehydrated with vomiting and diarrhea. Not to mention Ku Xia, it is common for someone to stand up suddenly and his vision goes dark.

At the same time, those who dislike the heat and like to swim in the river can drink a few mouthfuls of raw water while playing with their companions, and then let it dry naturally after landing, which makes them feel refreshed. Just wait, the next day he will come to my door with his nose sniffled and his stomach clutched, asking Dr. Wutong to prescribe two medicines for him.

Wutong once followed Qingqiu around the surrounding area and determined that the place where they were currently was the future layered rock abyss. It can be considered a long experience. I know that the layered rock abyss did not look like it collapsed through the center of the earth at the beginning. Hahaha.

There is a town quite far away from the village. Not surprisingly, it should be Huachengguo. Qingqiu said that there is often trade between this place and Xumi City. By chance, even the village can go here to buy some fresh gadgets.

There are not many means of transportation in the village. However, Wutong’s special status has priority for use. As long as she wanted to Hua Chengguo, the villagers would find a way to bring her along.

Recently, there are more people in the hot summer and the bitter summer.

Summer is hot, which can easily damage the essence and consume qi, thus reducing the resistance. High temperature and high humidity can easily cause lung heat, and dampness that turns into phlegm can cause coughing and sore throat. At the same time, there was a vicious cycle of irritability and poor appetite, and I couldn't sleep well at night.

Wutong planned to make the small pear soup and distribute it to a tent in the village for free after cooking. It just so happens that both Xiaojiu Xiaozai, one who needs a bitter summer and the other who needs to clear and nourish the lungs, can both drink it. Not bitter yet.

As soon as Xiaojiu arrived in Huachengguo, he ran to a corner and squatted down to retching. The whole person is wilted. However, when he saw Wutong picking pears from a stall not far away, he quickly stepped forward to join them.

Seeing that Xiaojiu was not feeling well, Wutong didn't let the child continue to toss with him. He just gave him some light toys.

Once you know what you want to buy, shopping becomes quick. On the way back, Xiaojiu was obviously not as uncomfortable as when she came, especially knowing that her sister would go back to cook something delicious for her soon, her mood skyrocketed.

After arriving at the small restaurant. Xiaojiu's mother had just finished her porridge, drank her medicine, and had finished cleaning up the pots and bowls. With the help of the village chief, the two of them took down the things in large and small packages, sweating all over.

Wutong took the cup handed by her aunt and drank it in one gulp. After resting for a few minutes, we took Xiaojiu and went to each house to deliver things. Those who had molas paid molas, and those who did not had them bartered. I went out and came back again. I worked hard all morning and gained a lot.

Qingqiu still didn't come back, but he got used to it. Wutong first explained that just think of the other person as a hunter who is out hunting. Although Qingqiu is a doctor, he also knows a little about boxing, so there is no need to worry about that guy's safety. Xiaojiu's mother sees through it but doesn't say anything. Xiaojiu was too young to notice it, but she knew clearly that the miracle doctor was actually not an ordinary person. But she always ignored what was wrong. Pretending not to know and never asking. Just think of it as a lifesaver like Wutong.

After a simple lunch, Wutong was washing the ingredients for making pear soup. He distractedly speculated that Qingqiu might have gone shopping in the territories of other demon gods. For these weak humans, Huachengguo is already the source of life. Although Huachengguo doesn’t have everything. But the Layer Rock Abyss is too far away from Liyue Port, and even further away from Guiliyuan.

Besides, this is not Liyue after the Demon God War ended. Probably Qingqiu was the only one in the whole village who could walk on this land safely.

Kuxia's damage range is so large that even Wutong has no appetite. Although I had been tired all morning, I didn't feel hungry at all. Instead of craving for food, I just want to find a pond full of water and soak in it for a day.

Xiaojiu didn't have the habit of taking a nap, so he sat on a small bench and whirled around with a knife to peel apples. If the peels fell to the ground in a long string, they could be connected together to form an apple shape.

While peeling, pry a piece off from the top to satisfy your craving. Wutong cut the snow pears into cubes and poured them into the pot. She laughed when she saw the apples that Xiaojiu put on her chopping board without exception.

Put other dried fruits and Polygonatum odoratum almonds that have been soaked for fifteen minutes into the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for another thirty minutes.

Xiaojiu kept watch over the fire, and then went to the bedside to see her mother. The medicine given by the medical fairy was very useful, and my mother lived a few more days. There is nothing more joyful than this. So I gently opened the closet, thought about it and pushed the shroud that I had dug out a few days ago to the bottom again.

Such joy. she thinks.

Accompanied by her mother's calm breathing, Xiaojiu lifted the door curtain. In the yard, Wutong lay on the deck chair with a cattail leaf fan and enjoyed the leisure time in the afternoon.

The quilts and clothes placed on the drying line have long absorbed enough warmth and are swaying gently in the breeze. The green maple trees cast a shadow on the ground. Below is a small square table with chess routes engraved on it. The finished chess game is still intact on top, probably waiting for the people who went out to return.

In addition to chess, there was also the flying chess backgammon, which she saw Wutong and the miracle doctor playing in their spare time. But he was a bad chess player. Before he could win against his mother in backgammon, let alone the square table, she could not start other chess games.

In the past, when Sister Wutong didn't come, the yard was empty. Although she has a brother, he is known to be a fool, and the most he does is carry her on his shoulders to steal fruits. Then, after being deceived by her mother, she directly took the blame and admitted her mistake, saying that she should not have led her little sister to do bad things. He is even more rigid than some adults, and his temper sometimes makes his mother dumbfounded.

It would be great if her brother was still alive... Then she wouldn't be the only bad chess player in the family.

I watched as new and new things like deck chairs and chess tables were gradually added to the yard. I also built a wooden shed and replaced it with new beams and roof tiles. The smoke from the kitchen is curling up, and the maple trees turn green and red, rising up and falling red every year.

What will tomorrow's day be like?

Xiaojiu moved the bench and sat next to Wutong, imagining endlessly.
