Siheyuan: I just came across and wanted to chase me away

He Yuzhu stared intently at the shabby-looking stove in front of him, and saw the flames in the stove gradually rising and burning more and more vigorously.

Originally, he planned to pick up the Chinese medicine pot that was specially used to boil herbs, but after searching for it in his kitchen for a long time, he still couldn't find it.

He Yuzhu was not discouraged and checked every corner of the kitchen carefully again, even those gaps that he usually didn't pay much attention to, but the result was still disappointing - the Chinese medicine pot was not there.

You should know that He Yuzhu's family still needs to use Chinese medicine pot to make some things, so He Yuzhu's family has a Chinese medicine pot of their own.

Just as he was thinking hard about where the Chinese medicine pot could have gone, a light bulb suddenly flashed in his mind and he remembered an incident from before. It turned out that last time he helped the deaf old lady in the backyard to boil herbs, he was careless and left the Chinese medicine pot at the deaf old lady's house.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu hurried towards the backyard.

At this time, the deaf old lady was preparing to go out for a walk and stretch her muscles. After all, only by going outside can she get more news, and after all, she has to pay attention to these things all the time.

As soon as she reached the door, she saw He Yuzhu walking towards her slowly.

The deaf old lady took a closer look and found that He Yuzhu not only walked slowly, but also had a wound on his face! Her heart tightened and she guessed something in an instant, thinking that the child must have been beaten by someone.

So the deaf old lady hurried over and said with concern, "My silly Zhuzi, look at how pitiful you are. Who did such a cruel thing to you? Tell grandma quickly or I will go find him and kill him!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her dry hand and gently stroked the scars on He Yuzhu's face.

However, He Yuzhu was embarrassed and ashamed. How could he tell the truth to the deaf old lady? So he just lowered his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, the deaf old lady couldn't help but frowned, secretly guessing: Could it be that this silly boy was beaten by Gu Nan, the bastard from the Gu family? Thinking about it, she couldn't help but look at He Yuzhu again and asked, "Silly Zhu, you should say something! Tell grandma, was it Gu Nan who did it? He beat you up."

He Yuzhu still shook his head firmly and said to the old lady in front of him: "Old lady, it's not what you think! It's not that guy Gu Nan. With my ability, how can I not be a match for a bastard like him? This time, several gangsters came from outside to cause trouble, and I beat them all up!"

The deaf old lady listened to He Yuzhu's words with a look of doubt on her face. She stared at He Yuzhu and looked him up and down, thinking to herself: "Is this boy lying? He doesn't look like he just came back from a fight, but rather like he was severely beaten up." However, even though she didn't quite believe it, the deaf old lady still looked at He Yuzhu and asked: "Silly Zhu, even if it's true, why did you come to my place?"

At this time, He Yuzhu scratched his head in embarrassment, his eyes unconsciously glanced away. After a while, he hesitantly explained: "Hehe... Old lady, it's actually like this. I went out to buy some herbs today, and originally planned to go home to boil them and drink them, but halfway through, I suddenly realized that I left the Chinese medicine pot at your house! So I hurried over to get it."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, the deaf old lady nodded slightly, indicating that she understood the whole story. Then she waved her hand and said to him, "Okay, in that case, go in and get it yourself."

After saying that, he turned around and sat on the chair, but his eyes were fixed on He Yuzhu's back as he walked into the room.

In fact, the deaf old lady didn't believe what He Yuzhu said just now. In her opinion, He Yuzhu must have been beaten by that bastard Gu Nan, but he was just embarrassed to admit it.

Thinking of this, the deaf old lady decided to go to the Intermediate Court later to ask Yi Zhonghai to see if she could find out the truth of the matter from him.

After all, in this courtyard, He Yuzhu is Gu Nan's rival. As for other people, the deaf old lady didn't even think about it, let alone Xu Damao, after all, Xu Damao was beaten by He Yuzhu since he was a child.

He Yuzhu came to the deaf old lady's room. Most of the things here were packed by He Yuzhu, so he naturally found the Chinese medicine pot with ease.

When He Yuzhu was about to go out, he saw the deaf old lady still sitting quietly on the old wooden chair. The sunlight shone through the window onto her, outlining a peaceful and slightly lonely picture.

"Old lady, I'm going to go back and boil the herbs first!" He Yuzhu raised his voice and shouted to the deaf old lady. However, the deaf old lady seemed to be completely immersed in her own world and did not respond to his words.

After a long while, she nodded slightly as if she had just woken up from a dream. There was no expression on her face and she didn't say a word.

The deaf old lady looked at He Yuzhu, and for a moment she didn't know what she remembered.

He Yuzhu shook his head helplessly, then turned around, picked up the heavy pot of Chinese medicine and walked home. As soon as he got home, he couldn't wait to open the herbal medicine bag in his hand. The bag was full of various herbs, including thick and thin grass roots, grass leaves of different shapes and colors, and even a small dead insect was found in it.

He Yuzhu felt sick and subconsciously wanted to throw the bug away. But just as his finger was about to touch the bug, he suddenly remembered that he had heard someone say that some bugs also have medicinal value. Maybe it was the key ingredient in this herbal medicine?

After some ideological struggle, He Yuzhu finally gave up the idea of ​​throwing away the insect and carefully put it into the pot with other herbs.

As the lid of the pot was closed, a strong and pungent herbal smell quickly spread. This strange smell penetrated into He Yuzhu's nasal cavity, irritating his stomach and making him almost vomit on the spot. But he resisted the discomfort, covered his mouth and nose tightly, and secretly told himself that he must hold it in, because the pot of herbal medicine in front of him with a strange smell is a good medicine that can cure diseases!

He Yuzhu really couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only walk to the door and breathe in deep gulps of fresh air. After all, the smell in the room was almost suffocating He Yuzhu.

It didn't matter that He Yuzhu opened the door. The smell of medicine that originally only He Yuzhu could smell could now be smelled throughout the courtyard.
