An Huaize paused, turned his head, and said in a low voice, "Brother Mian."

"I'm back." Zhao Mian walked over quickly.

With a smile on his face, An Huaize put down the things in his hands, and was about to go out, but then his face turned cold, "There are still a lot of consultation fees in Liujiatun, go and get them back."

After finishing speaking, An Huaize turned around and squatted down again, continuing to work without even looking at Zhao Mian.

Zhao Mian smiled wryly, and walked over with his backpack on his back. Before he entered the medicine field, An Huaize sneered, "Don't come in, don't step on my medicine."

Zhao Mian stood outside the fence fawningly, "Xiao Ze, I brought back cinnamon grass for you."

"Osmanthus fragrans?" An Huaize sneered in his heart, no wonder it took so long to come back, he talked about exploring the way, hmph, he has learned to lie to him, isn't it just that he doesn't want to take him into the mountains?

Zhao Mian thought inwardly that it was bad, why did he become even more angry?

Zhao Mian bit the bullet and said with a dry smile, "Yes, Gui Xiangcao."

An Huaize walked over and raised his eyebrows, "Where's the stuff? Show me."

Zhao Mian took out the backpack. There was not much in it. Every day, some cinnamon grasses rotted, and now there are only ten plants left in the backpack. I don't know if they can be planted.

An Huaize opened the backpack, and there was a cloth bag inside. There were a few cinnamon plants neatly placed in it. They were a little wilted, but if they were planted carefully, they might still survive.

There is no place to plant in the medicine field. An Huaize found a place outside the medicine field and planted it, a small clump, and watered it. Let's watch carefully later, I don't know if it will survive.

"Xiao Ze, I'll get it." Zhao Mian fawningly took the water ladle over.

An Huaize gave him a cold look, "Didn't I tell you to go to Liujiatun to get the consultation fee back? Hurry up!"

Zhao Mian froze, and hurriedly said, "I'll go right away."

Zhao Mian did not dare to delay, for fear that Ozawa would become even more angry, and it would take a few days for this anger to dissipate.

An Huaize watched him go to the stable, and hummed, "The horse is precious, go and carry it back, don't tire the horse."

"Okay." Zhao Mian just wanted him to calm down and recite it.

Zhao Mian was still a little dawdling, trying to find a way to calm down An Huaize.

An Huaize raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you go soon?"

Zhao Mian really couldn't think of a good solution for a while, so he obediently followed what Ozawa said, and only hoped that Ozawa would calm down quickly.

"Then I'm leaving." Zhao Mian helped An Huaize put on the coat on the fence, "It's cold, don't catch a cold."

An Huaize snorted coldly, took off his coat, and went back to the medicine field. Zhao Mian was afraid that he would catch a cold if the wind blows later, but An Huaize acted like he didn't want to talk to him.Zhao Mian had no choice but to leave.

Zhao Xi quickly shared the news of Zhao Mian's return. In such a short time, Zhao Jun and Zhao Chen ran over just after Zhao Mian reached the entrance of the village.

"Big brother! Big brother!" Zhao Jun and Zhao Chen shouted, chasing after him while shouting.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Mian remembered that when he came back, he went directly to Ozawa and forgot to tell his parents that he was safe.

"Brother, where are you going?" Zhao Chen took a few breaths.

"Go to Liujiatun to get the consultation fee."

It turned out that this was the case, Zhao Chen and the two suddenly realized.

"Then let's go together, it can be faster." Zhao Chen suggested, anyway, there is a third sister in the family, so don't worry.

Zhao Mian smiled wryly in his heart, how dare he ask for help, he just shook his head, "You guys go back, help me to tell my parents that I'm safe, I'll go there again tonight."

Zhao Chen froze, looking up at his elder brother hesitant to speak, Zhao Jun lowered his head, his eyes were red and he dared not let his elder brother see.

Zhao Mian felt something was wrong, "What's wrong?"

"Brother, parents... are infected with the plague." Zhao Chen said in a low voice, a little at a loss.

Zhao Mian's expression changed, "When did it happen?"

"Just a few days ago, many people in the village were infected with the plague, and they... even bullied my sister-in-law, making her..." Zhao Chen seemed to have found a backbone, with grievances in his eyes.

He was young, so no one would listen to him even if he spoke. At that time, he was still taking care of his parents. When he knew about it, everyone dispersed. When he passed by, his sister-in-law always opened the door with a dark face.

"They asked the sister-in-law to hand over all the medicines at home, and they also asked the sister-in-law to hand over the consultation fee! It's too much to want to go in and search the house!" Zhao Jun couldn't bear it anymore, "My fourth brother and I went to the second brother's house, but the second brother didn't care. They kicked us out, we went to the village chief's house to argue, and the village chief told us to wait for you to come back."

Not only that, but the crops in the field were also trampled on maliciously, isn't it just that there are no people who bully their family and can be the masters?

Zhao Mian's face gradually turned cold, "Did you meet Ozawa?"

Zhao Chen and the two shook their heads, "I didn't meet."

Then Zhao Jun thought of something again, "I heard from Uncle Dagen that Aunt Pang bumped into my sister-in-law, and she came to bully her on purpose, saying that she swallowed medicine and consultation fees privately."

Aunt Pang?Zhao Mian kept it in his heart, he dared to come to bully Ozawa after only a few days out, and this matter never ends.

"Who else?" Zhao Mian asked coldly.

"There's also Aunt Xiuzhen, Uncle Guidong, Uncle Pingnan, Aunt Erping..." Zhao Jun forgot, and looked at Zhao Chen.

"Sixth Uncle, Uncle Bo, Guizi's Tangsister, Lingnan Thirteenth Uncle, Aunt Zhou, Second and Fifth Uncles."

Aunt Pang, Aunt Xiuzhen, Uncle Gui Dong, Uncle Pingnan, Aunt Erping, Uncle Liu, Uncle Bo, Sister-in-Law Guizi, Uncle Thirteen in Lingnan, Aunt Zhou, Uncle Second and Fifth, Eleven families.

Zhao Mian remembered one by one, this matter is endless, dare to come to find fault, bully Ozawa?Then regret it.

"Have all the consultation fees been paid?" Zhao Mian asked again, it is estimated that the consultation fees to go back will be divided equally.

"I sent it, only their family wanted it, other families didn't want it, so I sent it back to my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law didn't want it either, so I donated it directly to the clan.

Zhao Jun snorted coldly, feeling disgusted, with so much food, the eldest brother's family didn't have much food in the first place, and finally got a little food in storage, and took some out, but it's not good for other people's family, bah!

"Is there anything else?" Zhao Mian asked again, his expression a bit grim.

"No, I just come to scold my sister-in-law occasionally. Anyway, my sister-in-law doesn't care about them, hmph." Zhao Chen just couldn't get angry, that's how people in the village are.

"Brother, you are back now, they must not dare to come to the door, the sister-in-law is too easy to bully, if the parents are well, the parents will definitely come to the door." Zhao Jun is also angry, but they have no right to speak, Zhao Jun really thinks too much ten years older.

Ozawa is easy to bully?

Zhao Mian shook his head and patted the shoulders of the two younger brothers, "Xiao Ze has his own solution, don't worry, go back first."

"Then don't you want us to help?" Zhao Chen felt that the elder brother probably wouldn't be able to move it all by himself. Every time the sister-in-law saw a doctor, she would have at least four or five bags of food.

"Yeah, brother, why don't you use a carriage?" Zhao Jun asked again. Although my sister-in-law has so many points, she still has a lot of food every time she sees a doctor. Where can my brother move it back?

"It's okay, let's go back." Zhao Mian couldn't tell them that Xiao Ze wanted to torment him, so he could only let them go back without changing his expression.

Seeing that the elder brother really didn't need help, the two of them thought that the people from Liujiatun hadn't come over for several days, maybe it was just one or two bags?The eldest brother will be able to recite it in one go.

"Then let's go back first." The two waved goodbye, turned and ran back.

Zhao Mian saw that the two had gone, and then left the village.

When Zhao Mian arrived at Liujiatun, he went to the village chief's house first. Liu Cheng and the others were here, with osmanthus herbs on the table.

The cinnamon grass can't be preserved for that long, so they have to pick out the rotten ones every day, throw away a little on this day, and there is only a small handful left, and it is estimated that there will be three or four taels left after drying.

"Uncle Mian, did Doctor An ask you to come here?" Liu Cheng and the others' eyes lit up, and they were about to send Gui Xiangcao there.

Zhao Mian nodded, "Mr. Liu, Ozawa asked me to come here to collect the consultation fee."

Village Chief Liu nodded, "I'm not in a hurry, Mr. Mian, and for that, has Dr. An produced any medicine?"

"There is no cinnamon grass at home, what's wrong?" Zhao Mian asked knowingly, the cinnamon grass he brought back was for Ozawa.

Village Chief Liu sighed, and told about the plague in the village. Anyway, everyone in Zhaojiatun knew about it.

"It's like this. Our village organized some people to go into the mountain, but they didn't come out. Anyway, there are cinnamon herbs now. Can you ask Dr. An to get some medicine? When they come back, there are some cinnamon herbs. Look , How much worse is this? If it is not enough by then, I will let them enter the mountain alley again."

This is also something that can't be helped. Village Chief Liu knew that people would die if they entered the mountain. At that time, they thought that Liu Cheng and the others had planted in the mountain. Who knew that they would come back within a few days after leaving. They only hoped that there would not be so many people.

Zhao Mian probably knew the approximate dose of cinnamon grass, "How many people in the village were infected with the plague?"

"58 people, and the number is still increasing." Village head Liu spoke out a number with difficulty while smoking a cigarette.

It is almost half of the number of people in Liujiatun, which is a huge number.

"I'll go back and ask." Zhao Mian didn't dare to die, he still had to go back and discuss this with Ozawa.

"Uncle Mian, these are the seeds we sorted out. You can take them back and let Dr. An try planting them. These are cinnamon herbs. Please, Dr. An."

"Chengzi, find a bullock cart to help Uncle Mian transport the grain back." Village head Liu didn't want to waste time, so many people died here.

Liu Cheng nodded and ran out. Village Chief Liu pointed to the chair, "Brother Mian, sit down."

"Village Chief Liu is polite." Zhao Mian smiled and sat down without being polite. He wanted to see what Village Chief Liu was doing all of a sudden.

"What's the matter? Two days ago, someone in our village discovered it. Someone outside was staring at our village. We suspected it was a refugee. Didn't your village just build half of the wall? Tell your village chief about this. If we can build a fence, we will build it, and, in the future, when we communicate between the two villages, don’t take the main road, it’s easy to be spotted, take the small road, and few people in Xiaohudian know about it.”

Zhao Mian's eyes flashed, was he being targeted?

"Also, can you discuss this with Dr. An, the points will be credited first, and our village has to build the last section of the wall as soon as possible. After this battle is over, our village will pay it back." Village head Liu cheekily wanted to credit.

I don't want to set this precedent, but Liujiatun has been targeted, and it's probably not safe to go out, and some people in Liujiatun have gone into the mountains, and it's probably not yet.

"Mr. Liu, you also know that some things will be different if precedents are set. Our family's rules are like this, and it is not easy to break." Zhao Mian looked at Villager Liu in embarrassment.

It can be said that because of the plague, Village Chief Liu bowed his head too much to Zhaojiatun, but he had no choice but to continue to be cheeky, "Well, our village will write you an IOU. If you don't pay it before winter, you will use the grain Come on, how are you doing?"

It's winter, it's November this year, it's still early, but let's say, Liujiatun is being targeted, there will definitely be a fight, and it's not far away, giving a buffer time can also sell favors.

"It's like this, I'll go back and discuss it with Ozawa." Zhao Mian didn't agree.

If there is some discussion, it is fine, Village Chief Liu put on a smile on his face, "That's fine, we'll wait for your good news."

"One more thing, our village went out to buy traditional Chinese medicine and said, Chen Laosan in the town took the refugee nest, but many people ran out, and a bunch of plague people on the refugee side were all burned by Chen Laosan Lie. Also, the refugees who ran out don’t know where they went, probably in our area, so be careful in your village.”

This is important news, Zhao Mian nodded, it seems that it is time to visit the Black Stone Valley.

However, we have to wait for Ozawa to calm down, Zhao Mian smiled wryly in his heart, no matter how many things there are, this is the top priority.

Liu Cheng quickly borrowed the car, and Village Chief Liu took out the food, 680 catties, Doctor An's consultation fee, if someone in the village had a cold or something, he went to see it, and Doctor An asked people to put the food here first, Although there are not many people, there are so many people one after another.

Liu Cheng took Zhao Mian out through the back door. The wall of their village was only a short distance away. There were both front and back doors and side doors. They walked through the back door. This was the direction to the mountains, and a detour was to Xiaohudian. road.

"Why don't you go through the side door?" Zhao Mian remembered that the side door was closer.

"The village chief said that no one here knows." Liu Cheng said in a low voice, the village was being watched, otherwise there would be no urgent need to fix the fence.

The road on the Xiaohudian side is not easy to walk. After walking for a while, the two felt that the car would not be able to go. The road was too narrow, so they had to carry the grain forward for a while, and passed with an empty car.

Seeing that Zhao Mian was silent, Liu Cheng always felt that it was too quiet, so he started a conversation, "Uncle Mian, why haven't your village finished building the remaining walls? It would be bad if they were targeted."

Zhao Mian didn't like to talk very much, so he just nodded. He can't decide this matter, and he doesn't know the situation in Heishi Valley. Who knows if the remaining walls can be built.

Xiaohudian is far away, the road is not good, and the walk is relatively slow. The two of them didn't reach Zhaojiatun until the afternoon.

People in Liujiatun usually don't go to the back of the shed, and Liu Cheng stops when he reaches the shed.

"Uncle Mian, then I'll go back first." Liu Cheng didn't say anything about helping, he had nothing else to do, and now he usually doesn't live in other villages.

Zhao Mian took down the last bag of grain, "Be careful on the road."

Liu Cheng took the gun and waved, "Uncle Mian, I'm leaving!"

Zhao Mian moved the grain to the back of the shed, and then carried it back in bags.

In the room, An Huaize was mixing the medicine. When he saw Zhao Mian came back, he frowned and murmured, "I told you to memorize it. You'll be exhausted."

Zhao Mian couldn't hear it, and when he took the cinnamon grass and seeds from his belt, An Huaize snorted coldly, "Hurry up, go back and return the consultation money, why are you in the house?"

"I'll bring you cinnamon herbs and seeds back." Zhao Mian fawned and opened the bag, looking at An Huaize's face.

An Huaize didn't attach much importance to this. Anyway, if there is one in the yard, he won't be able to find the antidote for a while.

"Leave it alone." An Huaize just glanced at it, then lowered his head to study his prescription.

Zhao Mian didn't dare to let it go, and went to dry the cinnamon grass. He didn't know which Chinese medicine seeds could be used, so he put them on the table.

An Huaize was now concentrating on mixing the medicine, Zhao Mian didn't bother, and quietly withdrew.

After Zhao Mian left, An Huaize took out the seeds in the bag and looked at them. Based on his feeling, he knew which ones were dead at a glance, and picked them out directly.

Maybe it's because of his exposure to Chinese medicine, or other reasons. An Huaize sometimes has a kind of intuition. When he looks at Chinese medicine, he can quickly find the answer he wants. Even the seventh uncle said that he has a high understanding, Simply teach him by himself.

But An Huaize knows that this is an ability that slowly emerges, maybe it's human evolution, and he also discovered this ability after studying the Rising Sun Tree in the past few days.

When Zhao Mian carried the food back, An Huaize was mixing the medicine again. There were more than a dozen seeds on the table. Zhao Mian didn't dare to go in and disturb him, so he continued to carry the food.

There are only a few bags of food, and it won't take long to carry it out. Zhao Mian carried the last bag of food in. Just as he was about to enter the main room, An Huaize pointed at him, "Go and help me take out my petri dish. There are also culture fluid, flower soil, and flowerpots."

Zhao Mian went to the attic to look for it, quickly took it down, and put it on the table, "What else do you need? I'll get it for you."

An Huaize waved his hand in disgust, "I smell of sweat, go take a shower."

Zhao Mian hurriedly took his clothes into the bathroom and took a shower, fearing that An Huaize would dislike him again, he still smelled of shower gel when he came out.

An Huaize frowned, "Stay away from me, don't block the light."

Zhao Mian walked three steps to the side, An Huaize raised his head, frowning displeasedly, "There is so much work in the backyard, you will die if you don't stand here."

Ozawa is angry, just follow Ozawa, and the anger will be relieved after tossing and tossing.

Zhao Mian hurriedly went out to work, and inevitably sweated again. When he came back, An Huaize pointed to the bathroom, and Zhao Mian went in to take a bath again.

After washing the clothes, he came over and stood a little further away. An Huaize folded his arms and looked at Zhao Mian. No matter how he looked at him, he was angry, "An An is upstairs. You have never hugged your son when you came back. Why are you standing there?"

Zhao Mian didn't dare to stand still, so he walked up quickly.An An was still sleeping, Zhao Mian could only hug An An up.

"Dish! Dish!" An An opened her eyes, yelled twice, changed her position and fell asleep again.

Zhao Mian raised his lips, kissed An An's cheek, and hugged An An for more than an hour, and it was evening.

Zhao Mian put his son back on the bed, covered the quilt, and went down to cook.

An Huaize was sprinkling nutrient solution into the flowerpot, when he saw Zhao Mian coming down, he snorted coldly, bowed his head and continued to work.

"Xiao Ze, what's for dinner tonight?" Zhao Mian approached fawningly.

"Dragon Meat, go find it." An Huaize turned around, not bothering to look at him.

Of course Zhao Mian couldn't find it. The villagers thought snake meat was dragon meat, and Zhao Mian didn't dare to cook snake meat. Ozawa would be even more angry.

"I can't find this one, how about western food tonight?" Zhao Mian asked softly.

"Oh, aren't you very good? You can't find it, go to the mountains to find it." An Huaize glanced at him.

"There is no dragon meat in the mountains, let's eat something else." Zhao Mian tried to negotiate.

An Huaize sat on the sofa with folded arms, and sneered, "I want to eat dragon meat, is there any in the mountains? Then you can look for it elsewhere, anyway, you are very capable."

"I can't find it." Zhao Mian confessed.

"Then what do you need?" An Huaize raised his eyebrows.

"I'm useless." Zhao Mian just bowed his head.

An Huaize got angry, picked up the pillow and threw it over, "I think you are very capable!"

Zhao Mian smiled wryly, and caught the pillow that was about to fall to the ground, "Don't be angry, it's not good to be angry."

"Why am I angry?" An Huaize sneered, "You know I'm angry too? Then you still lie to me? Zhao Mian is very capable, you even asked me to change clothes, and you disappeared as soon as I turned around. When will you learn?" Lied to me? You pack up my things and go to the mountains to live with those beasts."

"..." How could he go to the mountains and fight with those beasts.

"Don't be angry, just hit me, it's not good to be angry." Zhao Mian handed over the pillow.

An Huaize didn't answer, got up and walked to the stairs, "Before you leave, put the flowerpot by the window for me."

Zhao Mian took the flowerpot to the window and walked upstairs. Before he could stand still, a pillow flew over, accompanied by An Huaize's yelling, "What are you doing here! Go cook! You're going to starve me to death." ah!"

Zhao Mian turned around in despair and went downstairs, trying to get some western food, only to find that there were no ingredients.

I went to Uncle Dagen's house next door to look for meat. Of course there was no meat. Who still has meat now? The market has to go to Shikou Village, so it's better not to eat it.

It was too late to buy it now, so as a last resort, Zhao Mian had no choice but to get some dried noodles and cook a meal. The dishes were also hearty, and when he served them, An Huaize sneered again.

"What about the promised western food? I don't eat these." An Huaize continued to read.

"Eat as much as you want, I'll make it for you tomorrow." Zhao Mian put the food into a spoon and fed it to An Huaize.

An Huaize didn't eat it, and turned his face away in disgust, "I don't eat these, you can get me Western food."

Zhao Mian took the spoon back, "The food is here, I'll get it for you."

After finishing speaking, he went downstairs. An Huaize frowned and murmured, "Where did you get the ingredients?"

There are no ingredients for Western food in this kitchen. The ingredients they usually use are taken from the space, or they are bought fresh. Generally, there are no kitchens and cellars.

"Whatever." An Huaize snorted softly, seeing the food next to him, it looked good.

Turn your face away, don't eat, anyway, there will be western food later, as for how to make it, he doesn't care.

Not long after cooking the western food, An Huaize and others were hungry, the food was cold, An An woke up, and felt strange that Zhao Mian couldn't be seen when he went downstairs.

An Huaize didn't need to think about it, he knew that he probably went to get ingredients, and An Huaize soaked milk powder in it.

After ten o'clock in the evening, An Huaize coaxed An An to sleep. Zhao Mian hadn't come back yet, so An Huaize went downstairs to wait, and looked at the door from time to time.

At eleven o'clock, Zhao Mian came back, carrying something with brightly colored feathers, which should be a pheasant.

"You've entered the mountain?!" An Huaize stood up abruptly.

Zhao Mian nodded, "Don't worry, I just went to the back mountain for a stroll."

He doesn't know the situation here, he only knows that the back mountain is the territory of their village, and there are no carnivores, so he only hunts in the back mountain. There are not many pheasants here. After searching for a long time, he doesn't know how to hunt. It took a lot of money Less effort.

"It's so late, you're still going into the mountain?!" An Huaize was so angry that he didn't know what to say, and he was even more angry with himself. It's okay to make trouble, what if something happens in the mountain.

"There are no wild animals in the back mountain, don't be afraid." Zhao Mian knew that he was worried about him, so he walked over to comfort him in a low voice, and wanted to hug him, but his body was dirty everywhere, so he didn't dare to hug him.

"How do you know? Do you think this is a city? When you go out, you are a mountain. It would be nice if those animals didn't come to visit at night." An Huaize trembled angrily.

"The beasts in the mountains divide their territories..."

Zhao Mian wanted to tell him what they discovered during this period, but An Huaize didn't want to hear it anymore.

"I don't want to know, I'm not hungry anymore." An Huaize walked back upstairs.

Zhao Mian looked down at the pheasant in his hand, feeling a little at a loss, and ran up after a while.

"Xiao Ze." Zhao Mian took off his shoes, only to realize that he had come up with a pheasant, and put it down quickly.

Walking to the bed, An Huaize closed his eyes, and the food beside the bed was untouched.

"Don't be angry, it's my fault, I went into the mountain without telling you." Zhao Mian sat by the bed, not caring whether his body was dirty or not.

It's all his fault, he didn't tell Ozawa the way the animals in the mountains divide their territory. He entered the mountain so late, and he knew that nothing would happen, but Ozawa didn't know, so he must be worried.

"Don't be angry. If you are angry, you won't be healthy. Let me go and make you something to eat, okay?"

"I'll tell you wherever I go in the future, don't be angry."

An Huaize turned around directly, with his back to Zhao Mian, not wanting to listen to him.

"I won't go into the mountains anymore, don't be angry, don't keep talking." Zhao Mian didn't know what to do.

In the past, when Ozawa was angry, he just coaxed him to coax him. This time, it was the first time in so many years that Ozawa had such a big fire, and Zhao Mian didn't know what to do.

"I'll cook for you." Zhao Mian took the food away, it was estimated that it was almost twelve o'clock, and Ozawa couldn't help but eat.
