Hiding in the mountains to watch the end of the world

After the funeral in the village was over, the next day, An Huaize went to sit in the shed at noon. Many people from Liujiatun came over, all wrapped in cloth and still seeping blood.

There were also people carrying grain behind them, pushing ox carts with grain on them, and those in Liujiatun were also being targeted by the big cats in the mountains. It seemed that it was not just their village, An Huaize thought to himself.

"Doctor An..."

An Huaize turned his palm up and pointed to the seat in front, "Sit first, come one by one."

The wound was inflamed and smelled of traditional Chinese medicine. An Huaize cleaned it up, "Have you applied the medicine?"

"Yes." The first person gritted his teeth in pain, sweat dripping down his face.

"The hemostatic medicine is homemade in the village. The big cat went down the mountain two days ago. Many people died in our village. We have to apply the medicine first if we want to have a funeral."

The effect of the medicine was not very good, but it was better than nothing, An Huaize nodded and reapplied the medicine to the wound.

"Don't touch the water, don't eat, three hundred catties of tolls, one hundred catties of medical fees, a total of four hundred catties of food, put it aside, next one."

An Huaize took out a wooden sign with 1 written on it, "I will take this when you see a doctor in the future. When you recover from your injury this time, the sign will be taken back."

Four hundred catties is already a lot, and some people felt pain in their hearts, "Doctor An, when will we have to pay the toll again?"

An Huaize explained, "Pay the toll once and you will get a sign. If you don't have a sign when you see a doctor in the future, you will have to pay the toll. If you pay this time, give me the sign when you recover. have to hand it in again."

It turned out to be like this, and someone asked, "Doctor An, can the points be exchanged for tolls?"

An Huaize nodded, "Yes, two hundred points for one toll fee."

"hiss."

Everyone looked at An Huaize with a look of embarrassment, this is too much, two hundred points is not ten catties of Chinese medicine, that is not a lot.

"Doctor An, can you have a little less?"

Seeing that Village Chief Zhao was not there, everyone wanted to discuss it with An Huaize, maybe Dr. An could make the decision.

An Huaize frowned, "There is no rule in the village to change tolls with points, but Brother Mian said that everyone's food is not blown by the strong wind. I can give everyone a convenience, so I can allow everyone to do this, and I went back to the village. , I have to pay the village as much as the toll I collected today."

"Then, that is to say, Dr. An is going to help us with food?" Some people are not very convinced that it is okay to help people from other villages like this.

An Huaize lowered his eyes, as if he was about to cry, "Two days ago, the big cat came into our village. Brother Mian is lying on the bed now. I just want to accumulate some blessings for Brother Mian, so that he can get well soon. One point. Everyone knows that medical treatment starts with 150 catties of grain, and brother Mian is injured, so I will treat it as a good deed. This month's medical treatment starts with [-] catties."

Everyone can understand it in their hearts, as if they have a resonance, they have been praying for their family members at home, and they have to say goodbye every day, so everyone has no doubts.

"That's right, the big cat suddenly went down the mountain, and many people died in the village."

An Huaize wiped the corner of his eyes, "Okay, let's be next."

Everyone saw that Dr. An was very sad, and they all understood. They were very grateful after receiving the medicine. They all thought that Zhao Mian from Zhaojiatun was a nice person, and he was so considerate of people from other villages.

Everyone came here together. An Huaize dealt with it quickly, and quickly took care of all the injuries. The rest were colds and fevers. An Huaize would prescribe medicine. It was not difficult. An Huaize died.

"Go back first, I'm already developing medicine."

The faces of the two of them turned pale, "Doctor An..."

"Okay, it's not a big deal. I know you guys are sad, but I really can't do anything about this disease. I still lack medicinal materials here, so I don't know what to do."

Lack of medicinal materials?

The two seemed to be grabbing at straws, "Doctor An, is there any medicine if you have traditional Chinese medicine?"

"I already have a clue, and I will make progress soon." An Huaize nodded affirmatively. The reason was naturally the change of the Sunrise Tree.

"Let's go back now, Doctor An, we will send the medicine over in two days!"

"Thank you."

The two ran back. They came together, and they had made an appointment to walk together, but they were not annoyed to see the two of them leaving early. On the contrary, they felt sorry for them.

There are people who have plague in their family, so they looked at An Huaize with hope in their eyes, "Doctor An, can you really develop it?"

"I already have a clue, and now I'm short of some medicinal materials. You'd better find some new medicinal materials. Maybe there will be medicine soon."

Everyone is very grateful, just say how good Dr. An's medical skills are.

"Okay, I will come to see a doctor at noon from now on, and I will get off work at four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone remember this time."

"Understood, then Doctor An, let's go back first."

An Huaize nodded, packed up his things and went back. As for the food, someone soon came to carry the food back for the clan. Zhao Jun and Zhao Chen also came to help An Huaize carry the food home.

"Okay, let's take these back and treat them as hard work." An Huaize kept the remaining six packs of food, which was about five or six hundred catties. An Huaize earned nearly half of the money after seeing a doctor today. Three thousand catties.

"No, no!" Zhao Jun and Zhao Chen waved their hands and ran back.

An Huaize felt a headache watching from behind, so he obediently moved the food back by himself.

But on the other side of Liujiatun, when everyone was walking on the road, they talked about Zhaojiatun.

"Last time, I heard that the village chief of Zhaojiatun brought Zhao Mian to our house. Do you think he will be the village chief?"

Someone shook his head and snorted, "Whether someone changes the village chief is none of our business, and we don't care about me. Whoever becomes the village chief is none of our business."

"Oh, you can't say that." Someone next to him objected, "Look, this Zhao Mian, if he becomes the village head, it will be good for our village. He and Dr. An are married. Tell me, What if someone else becomes the village chief and forces Dr. An not to see a doctor for us, or raises the toll fare?"

"That's right, it's not good if those rascals become village chiefs, but we can't take care of their village affairs. If the people in Zhaojiatun find out about this, they might think that Zhao Mian is on us. Village, don’t pawn it to him.”

As we talked, we couldn't help feeling a little worried, and everyone thought about it, so we didn't say anything more.

Every day, people from Liujiatun would come to see a doctor. An Huaize's medicine is very effective. As long as there is no injury to the muscles and bones, they will recover quickly.

"Doctor An, can you buy medicine and go back and rub it yourself? It's not a problem to come here every day like this."

An Huaize also felt that this was troublesome, so he nodded, and gave four or five days of medicine and food at once, and everyone said they would bring them over tomorrow.

"Okay." An Huaize was not afraid that they would lie to him, if he dared to do this, he would not come here in the future.

An Huaize also began to receive Chinese medicine one after another, and began to record everyone's points.

After Zhao Sheng cleaned the house there, he moved there. Zhao Daqiang became very silent after that, and Zhao's mother didn't like to go out to chat anymore. Zhao Daqiang gave Zhao Sheng five thousand catties of food, and Zhao Sheng didn't refuse, but since Afterwards, as if he had broken off the relationship with the family, he raised the tiger cub by himself, and Zhao's father and Zhao's mother wanted to see him, but he kept silent, and after that, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother did not go either.

Zhao Sheng fenced the yard, and An Huaize had some bricks left, so he wanted to give them to him, but Zhao Sheng refused.

"Sister-in-law, please say sorry to me and elder brother. I will rely on him to support my parents in the future. I am not filial."

An Huaize could tell that Liu Cuihua's death made Zhao Sheng hate his parents. He knew he shouldn't, but he couldn't face them anymore. Zhao Sheng wasn't unfilial, but he had a lump in his heart.

Perhaps as time goes by, Zhao Sheng will heal the wound, An Huaize hopes so.

An Huaize told Zhao Mian about this matter, and Zhao Mian was silent for a long time after hearing it. He didn't like Cuihua very much, but, after all, he was a family member, so he didn't expect this to happen.

"Let him be quiet." Zhao Mian didn't say that he was going to persuade Zhao Sheng. He knew his younger brother's temperament. What Er Sheng needs now is time and space.

Liu Cuihua and her younger brother are husband and wife, and they really have a very strong relationship. Therefore, when Zhao Mian was at home, he also tolerated Liu Cuihua a lot.

"Did Mom and Dad go to Liujiatun and talk about it?" Zhao Mian asked, after all, she was his daughter, so it's okay not to say anything.

An Huaize nodded, "I told you, there were crying and shouting to pay for the grain, and my father agreed, saying that I would take the grain during the autumn harvest."

"How many?"

"Ten thousand, Dad agreed directly."

Zhao Mian sighed, [-] catties of grain is a lot, and this is their family's harvest for one season.This was not the time when Zhao Dashan claimed for compensation. At that time, there was [-] catties of grain, and other families just sighed. Maybe there will be a policy soon, and life will not be so bad.

Two to thirty thousand catties of grain, if you give it, you will give it, at most you will gossip, maybe you will have to sell it in the future?But now, a thousand catties is too much for everyone, and ten thousand catties, Zhao Mian knows that his parents are also guilty, otherwise, with his father's temperament, he would not directly agree.

"After all, it's a human life. Our family is sorry for their family." Zhao Mian sighed, the dead are the most important. Although it is not kind for Liu's family to make such an article about Liu Cuihua's death, their family is also at a loss, so let's just let it go.

In August, the weather suddenly turned cold, and the villagers resumed their life of working during the day and resting at night. The rice in the field, the villagers said, this year the rice ripens quickly, and it can be harvested in ten days and a half months.

The Rising Sun tree had flower buds at the end of July. When the weather cooled down, all the flowers bloomed. An Huaize picked all the flowers, dried them, and ground them into powder. The medicine garden was divided into three areas, and one area was directly sprinkled. For powder, potatoes were planted in one area, and then sprinkled with flour, and other things were planted in another area, sprinkled with flour, and Anhuaize kept the remaining powder.

Half of the fence was built, and several meetings were held in the village to discuss what to do with the remaining half of the fence. Some people wanted to buy bricks, but everyone had seen the strength of the big cat, and most people were unwilling to buy bricks. Come back and build the wall.

"Blind Xiong hasn't gone down the mountain yet. When the blind Xiong goes down the mountain, the wall will collapse with a single blow."

No, everyone has seen it, the big cats in this mountain have grown bigger, and the blind bear will also grow bigger. In this mountain, the blind bear can be compared with the tiger.

In short, there is no reason to discuss in the end.

Zhao Xi has been active in the village during this time, talking to the owner and doing things for the west, most of the younger generation is headed by him.

It took only a few days to see any effect, but many aunts said, oh, this Xizi is very good.

"That's right, he came to help our family water the vegetables yesterday." An aunt in the village replied, very happy.

An Huaize has been watching these things quietly. Zhao Xi seems to want to be the village chief. He has been injured for a hundred days, and Zhao Mian will not heal in a while, so An Huaize's current thoughts They all stayed at home and studied Chinese medicine.

Zhao Mian was able to get up and walk, but he could not make large movements.

In the evening, when the two were having dinner, An Huaize suddenly asked, "Brother Mian, do you want to be the village chief?"

Zhao Mian was able to go out in the past two days, and he also knew what happened in the village. Zhao Xi became more and more popular, and Zhao Mian was sometimes worried. Zhao Xi was not suitable for the position of village chief.

"You're talking about Zhao Xi's matter? He's not very suitable, but I'll let it go, Zhao Xi also has a sense of proportion, and it will always work if you take your time."

Zhao Mian shook his head. He knew that Ozawa depended on him sometimes, so he wanted to spend more time with his family. No matter who was the head of the village, nothing serious would happen.

An Huaize nodded, not knowing what was going on in his heart, a little bored, but at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.

Both of them felt that Zhao Xi was not suitable to be the village head, but there were no major issues in the village now, everyone was living in the village, the only major issue was the fence, and it was not easy to go into the mountains now, this issue would have to be done in the future Besides, the other things are just trivial things, Zhao Xi can grow up through slow practice.

In mid-August, everyone's injuries were healed, and the rice could be harvested.

Zhao Mian couldn't bend over, the scar would crack, An Huaize must go to court every day, and he didn't have time, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother said, just take it for them by the way.

Zhao Mian and An Huaize finally asked someone to help harvest the rice. Twenty catties of rice a day, the wages outside have now become fifteen catties of rice noodles a day, and twenty catties of rice is almost fifteen catties of rice after shelling. There will be a little more, and An Huaize doesn't care anymore.

This year's harvest is good, one mu of land yields □□ hundred catties. The family has planted [-] mu of [-] mu of land, and finally harvested [-] rice.

A few aunts were drying rice on the side of the rice drying field, turning the rice and talking with a smile, "It's also very good. At the beginning, our family was trying to grab the grain, but I didn't expect the harvest to be so good. Oh, I really didn't expect it." Lie."

"That's right, you don't know, Daqi's family produces thousands of acres per mu, ouch, this is a bumper harvest."

"That's right, oh, God, it's still good for us, the world is not good, God still takes pity on us, look, the sun was so bright before, the rice in this field is still alive Better than anything else."

"That's right, in the vegetable field of our house, weeds grow every day, and if we don't pull them out for a day, we feel that the vegetables don't need any medicine. In this rice field, look at that time, there is no grass at all. "

Zhao Mian was looking at the rice here, and suddenly frowned upon hearing this, then shook his head, no way.

Consoling himself so much in his heart, Zhao Mian was worried after all, so Zhao Mian went to the village chief, Zhao Xi was inside the village chief's house, Zhao Mian yelled outside, and the village chief let him in.

The village head had a stern face, and when he saw Zhao Mian, he laughed, "Boy Mian, what are you doing here?"

Zhao Xi lowered his head slightly, Zhao Mian didn't delay, and directly stated his guess.

When the village chief heard this, he still valued Zhao Mian, so he was also thinking about it seriously, "You mean, the rice grows so well, is it mutated, just like those big cats in the mountains? "

Zhao Mian nodded, "This is just my guess, I still need to check it."

He didn't dare to say exactly what it was, but he didn't pay much attention to the rice before, so he only noticed now that the rice was too abnormal.

Zhao Xi nodded, "It's a hot day, and the other vegetables in the field are all wilted by the sun, but the rice is growing well. There was a lot of grass in the field before, but there is no one in the rice field. It's really abnormal."

The village chief nodded, which made sense, "I'll let everyone have a look, find a chicken and feed it in."

"I'll go." Zhao Xi stood up and volunteered.

Zhao Mian's eyes flickered for a moment, and the village chief felt displeased. Looking at Zhao Mian, Zhao Mian had no intention of objecting, nor did he feel angry.

The village chief sighed, "Okay, you go."

Zhao Xi hurried out, and the village chief sighed, "Xizi is just a little anxious, and she is getting more and more careless in doing things."

Just like Zhou Pei, when he is highly praised, he becomes impetuous.Zhao Mian understood and knew it well, but he really had no intention of being the village head, so he just let him go.

To Zhao Xi, the position of the village chief seemed to be inevitable, so he suddenly had the opportunity to make meritorious service. If this was true, it would increase his prestige, and everyone would trust him, even if it wasn't, Everyone's affection for him will also rise in a straight line, after all, Zhao Xi cares about the village.

"Village Chief, then I'm leaving too." Seeing that he was all right, Zhao Mian wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute, boy Mian, sit down." The village chief stopped him.

Zhao Mian was puzzled, so he sat down anyway. The village chief looked at Zhao Mian, but he couldn't see clearly the young man. He clearly cared about the village, but he didn't want to be the village chief.

"Tell me what you think about the position of the village head. You know it. We, the older generation, still value you very much. If you are interested, there is nothing to hinder you. Is Xizi not good at all?" Appropriate, too impatient."

Zhao Mian directly expressed his opinion, "I don't want to be the village head, Zhao Xi is a little young, and he is not very proper in doing things, but if you look at it, nothing big will happen, village head, you don't have to worry about it. .”

The village head was disappointed after all, but he didn't want to make things difficult for others, so he nodded to show that he knew.

"Just now, Xizi said that he wanted to organize everyone to enter the mountain. The half-built wall is not a solution. He thought, oh, ask you for guns, and everyone will go into the mountain together, so you won't be afraid of big cats."

When the village chief told Zhao Xi why he came, he was a little hesitant. When Zhao Xi said, he was even more shaken when he asked Zhao Mian for a gun.

Those big cats were all thrown into the woods and buried in the village. Who knows if they have eaten people, of course the village dare not say anything.

After a funeral in the village, An Huaize remained silent, and Zhao Mian did not appear in front of everyone. They all forgot that the big cat was killed by Zhao Mian and the others, and they had guns.

Zhao Mian frowned, "It's not difficult to give a gun, but this big cat is not stupid. Bullets can't pierce their fur. The only vital parts are their abdomen, eyes, and mouth. They can't kill them if they hit their abdomen. The rest are difficult to aim at. , even if they go into the mountains with guns, they won't be able to please them."

The village chief didn't understand this before, and no one told him about it, so he frowned immediately, "I know."

"Then I'll go first."

Zhao Mian saw that the village head had nothing to do, so he left first.

As soon as he returned to the grain drying field, Zhao Xi gathered a lot of people, and they were grabbing a chicken and feeding the rice. The chicken was eating very happily, and everyone felt that there must be nothing wrong with it.

Zhao Mian went to dig the rice, so he didn't go to join in the fun.

When Zhao Xi saw him, guilt flashed in his eyes, and he forced a smile, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. If there is no problem, these millets will be fine."

Everyone nodded and dispersed, "Xizi is still thoughtful. If he didn't say it, we wouldn't have paid attention to it. It seems that although Xizi is young, she has good abilities."

With a forced smile on his face, Zhao Xi sat next to the rice in his house and watched.

It was noon, and Zhao Mian went back to cook. Seeing this, Zhao Xi gritted his teeth, hesitated, and chased after him.

"Uncle Mian."

Zhao Mian understood, turned around, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Xi bent down and bowed to Zhao Mian, "I, what happened today is my fault. It was originally your credit, but you don't want to be the village chief. It doesn't matter if you get the credit or not. I want to be. I hope you can understand."

Zhao Mian didn't really care about this matter, but he really didn't like Zhao Xi's actions, but this trouble was not as important as Ozawa's troubles during this period, so Zhao Mian didn't care.

"I understand, but this is not an example." Zhao Mian also doesn't like others touching his things.

"Thank you, Uncle Mian." Zhao Xi happily left after finishing speaking, as if he was in a hurry.

Zhao Mian shook his head from behind, hoping that the village chief could guide Zhao Xi again, this is not possible.

Back home, Zhao Mian cooked the meal, went up to feed An An, and let him play by himself.

An An is eight months old. Zhao Mian circled a place in the attic and put toys in it. An An is also good. She will only cry twice when it is convenient for her. Going, or crawling forward, arching and arching is very cute.

Zhao Mian would go up to look at An An when he was free, but he couldn't hold An An anymore, An An was restless now, and he couldn't hold her firmly. After being pulled to the back last time, Ozawa stopped holding the baby for him.

An Huaize came back soon, frowning all the time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhao Mian went down when he heard the voice. An Huaize saw him, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Brother Mian, do you really want to be the village chief?"

Zhao Mian was stunned for a moment, and then he was helpless. There is no man who does not want to make a career, and he also wants to do something for the village, but Ozawa would not want him to be the village head.

Therefore, after Zhao Mian thought about this matter at the beginning, Ozawa's usual thoughts, and later, after the village chief expressed his intention, Ozawa's reaction, these made Zhao Mian understand that Ozawa was not I would like him to be the village head, and I never thought about it after that.

"I don't want to be, stop thinking about it." Zhao Mian said in a low voice, without a trace of reluctance.

An Huaize lowered his head, habitually avoiding Zhao Mian's gaze, but he began to reflect on what he had done these years.

If you want to talk about breaking Brother Mian's future and breaking Brother Mian's wings, he has done a lot. How many times before he was promoted, because he said that there might be very few opportunities to meet in the future, Brother Mian finally turned them down. .Now the two have settled down, because he doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the village, he just wants to live together, and Brother Mian didn't try to steal the limelight from others.

Because of his lack of emotion, he is too tired. He has supported his sister since he was 16 years old. He has never relaxed for a moment. He is afraid that his sister will be as scared, helpless, crying, and insecure as his parents just passed away. feel.He's not a big hero, he gets tired, and he wants to rest.Therefore, he is dependent on Brother Mian.

Gold always has a chance to shine. This sentence is absolutely true. Sometimes people in the village don’t think far enough and it’s Brother Mian’s opinion. The two of them look forward to Zhao Xitao, after all, he is young.Brother Mian is indeed excellent. The difference between Brother Mian and him is a family background, a platform, and opportunities. Brother Mian can do better.As for him, the village chief hinted several times that Brother Mian would be the next village chief, and Brother Mian never answered because of him.People will compare. Before everyone didn't believe in Brother Mian, he could still selfishly let Brother Mian only circle around him. Now, he can see that many people of the older generation are convinced by Brother Mian. He valued Brother Mian, and it was time for him to let Brother Mian do it.

No matter what, Brother Mian still loves him, they will be the closest companions in the world, he is so selfish, does he really love Brother Mian?An Huaize asked himself, but couldn't get a definite answer.

It's not enough love, so he is afraid, he can't be selfish anymore, he can't ruin brother Mian's chance with his own hands.

An Huaize raised his head and looked at Zhao Mian, "Brother Mian, I...in fact, it's not that I don't want you to go."

He has been thinking about this question for a while, Brother Mian is very concerned about his thoughts, he knows, so he has been asking himself whether it is right to do so.

He couldn't think of a reason before, but he was afraid that he would regret it, so he told Uncle Dagen and the others not to talk about Brother Mian's shooting of the big cat outside, and to prepare for the future, he would like Brother Mian in front of Liujiatun.

Now, he has made up his mind. Brother Mian has the ability and ideas, so he can't just stay by his side like this.

"Brother Mian, what do you think? I support you no matter what you think." An Huaize felt that it was very shameless for him to say this, knowing that Brother Mian cared about his thoughts, he had done so much before, Feel like a good person now.

Zhao Mian never thought that An Huaize would think so. He did want to be the village chief before, but Ozawa just wanted to be behind the scenes, and he supported him. Now that Ozawa suddenly said this, Zhao Mian felt a little helpless .

Zhao Mian laughed, "I don't necessarily want to be the village chief. Zhao Xi can still be cultivated. If someone else is doing the work, why bother yourself?"

Zhao Mian lowered his head and kissed An Huaize's hand, jokingly said, "Is the mediocrity bothering you?"

An Huaize pursed his lips, and then completely relaxed. Brother Mian didn't think it was enough to force it, but An Huaize still felt guilty in his heart. Brother Mian had sacrificed so much for him for so many years.

If he wanted to say I'm sorry, An Huaize didn't want to say it, because he always felt that this would be his identity with Brother Mian.

"It's getting late, let's eat." Zhao Mian lifted the table.

An Huaize went out to wash his hands, Zhao Mian went up and hugged An An, An An kept reaching out to hug his father when he saw his father. During this time, An Huaize had something on his mind and actually ignored his son.

"An An, come and call Dad." An Huaize smiled and took his son over, and kissed his pink and tender cheek.

"Ah!"

An An yelled, An Huaize laughed, this child seemed to really understand.
