his dragon [farming]

Ever since Qiu He fell ill, Shen Baocheng had been working miserably. He was busy at home and in the field by himself, and besides three meals a day, he had to cook medicine for Qiu He.For the first few days, it was Bai Chuan who patrolled the mountain on his behalf, and he had time to replace Bai Chuan from the mountain when Qiu He was able to get out of bed.

This day, Shen Baocheng had breakfast and went to Yuntai again.Qiu He was lying alone in the room, rejoicing that he would not be forced to drink medicine today, when he suddenly heard the door of the main room, and saw Lin Baichuan walking in.

Qiu He sat up from the bed, wondering: "How did you come in? Isn't the courtyard door closed?"

Bai Chuan said openly, "The wing room has windows."

It was as if turning over the window was a matter of course.Qiu He couldn't help laughing, Bai Chuan handed him a small bamboo basket and said, "Here!"

The basket contained some wild fruit.The oval fruit has a brownish-yellow outer shell, with a crack in the outer skin, exposing the red flesh inside.

"What is this?" Qiu He picked up one and looked at it carefully.

"Fried in August, you can eat it." Bai Chuan casually picked up one, opened the shell, and handed the pulp to Qiu He.

Qiuhe took it and threw it into his mouth. It was only slightly sweet in the mouth, but it was full of fragrance after chewing for a while.He nodded and said, "It's delicious. Thank you, you picked it on the mountain?"

"Hmm." Bai Chuan sat down on the chair beside the bed, and also lowered his head to pick up a fruit and started to eat it.

Qiu He looked at him and felt that Bai Chuan's cheeks seemed to be thinner, but it seemed that his brows were deep and the bridge of his nose was straight.He thought for a while, and thanked him: "Grandpa said that you have been helping to watch the mountains and forests for the past few days, isn't it very hard?"

"Well," Bai Chuan lowered his head to eat the fruit, seemed a little absent-minded, and remained silent for a long time before raising his head and asking, "How is your health?"

"It's much better." Qiu He replied.

Bai Chuan obviously didn't believe this, he looked Qiuhe up and down, hesitated to speak, and finally asked, "Where are your feet?"

"It's much better. It's just that grandpa said that he will take care of it for two more days, so he won't let him move too much."

Bai Chuan looked at his ankle with drooping eyelids. Sure enough, it was no longer red and swollen. He was silent for a moment, touched it lightly with his hand, and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Looking at his expression, Qiu He seemed to be a little sad, and said in a hurry, "It's been a long time since it hurts——don't be a bitch, just a sprain, how much pain can it hurt?"

Bai Chuan glanced at him, and said lightly, "I heard that someone cried in pain a few days ago."

"...One moment and another moment." Qiu He blushed, feeling that grandpa was really annoying, and told Bai Chuan everything.

The two sat opposite each other for a while, and finally Bai Chuan hesitantly asked: "You... what's going on?"

Qiu He rolled his eyes at him, "I don't believe it, didn't grandpa tell you?"

"I said it," Bai Chuan scratched his head, "but he didn't explain exactly what happened."

Because of that huge secret, they both regarded each other as their own, and there was a kind of tacit intimacy. Qiu He whispered what happened by the stone pool, and finally said earnestly: "Don't worry, this matter I never told anyone except my grandfather."

Bai Chuan smiled and said, "I know."——If Qiu He spoke quickly, the town would probably be full of storms by now.

Qiu He could see the trust that was taken for granted in his eyes, and it was also very useful. After a pause, he asked again: "When did you know that there was such a thing?"

He is still not used to calling it a dragon. No one has ever seen what a dragon looks like. Perhaps it is more appropriate to say that it is a water monster.

The word "water monster" made Qiu He's heart move. Could those unknown creatures that people glimpsed belong to the same species as the things in the rock pool on the mountain?So dragons don't just exist in legends, but are real creatures?

Bai Chuan didn't know that Qiuhe's thinking had gone far from here to there, he just felt that he had been ill for a while, and his eyes were quite empty. He thought for a while and replied, "I always knew."

Qiu He was stunned for a while, "So, your family members also know about this?"

Bai Chuan nodded, Qiu He showed an expression of "as expected", looked Bai Chuan up and down, and said, "Your family has a lot to do with this dragon, right?"

Bai Chuan nodded hesitantly.

Qiu He cheered softly and said, "No wonder! You were sent by your family to guard this dragon, right? Are you familiar with that dragon? Have you ever been in its lair? What kind of creature is it?"

"I've been in caves."

Qiuhe added a little more admiration to his eyes, "It's so dark and scary inside! There are also children crying! You just broke in like that? Did it do anything to you?"

"It's okay." Bai Chuan said very calmly.

"Then why did you go in there? Peeping at it? Can it really fly in the clouds? What does it eat? What are its living habits?"

"I don't understand." Bai Chuan was really not a good chat partner, all the answers were dry, Qiu He glared at him and he didn't take it seriously, and said, "Why are you so excited? —— You should take your medicine!"

It turned out that he was ordered by Shen Baocheng to urge Qiuhe to take medicine twice a day.He got up and heated up a bowl of bitter soup on the stove, brought it to Qiu He, and warned him, "Don't cheat."

Qiu He's excited mood plummeted, and she immediately said: "You are annoying! Why did you come to my house? Go back to your own house!"

Bai Chuan couldn't help laughing, and said seriously: "When you're well, I'll take you into the cave to have a look. But you can't tell grandpa."

Qiu He reluctantly took the bowl, but the taste made it hard for him to swallow, so he handed the bowl to Bai Chuan angrily and said, "Smell it, it's so disgusting! How can this taste make people want to eat it?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Bai Chuan lowered his head, he took a sip from the rim of the bowl, smacked his lips and tongue as he tasted it, and said, "It's not bad."

Qiu He looked at him in horror, sighed resignedly for a while, and said, "You think such a disgusting thing tastes good! Are you still human? The smell of shit is better than this, do you want to taste it too?" taste?"

Before he finished speaking, he received a slap on the back of the head that was not light or heavy.Bai Chuan was very flexible and said, "Drink quickly, don't be a bitch!"

Under Bai Chuan's gaze, Qiuhe had no choice but to be lucky, gulped down the bowl of traditional Chinese medicine, and hurriedly rinsed his mouth with water, the bitter taste lingering on the root of his tongue, so Qiuhe turned his anger towards old man Ding who prescribed the medicine : "Will it cure the disease? What kind of medicine is prescribed to make it so bitter? Do you know who that old man Ding is? Does he have a license to practice medicine?"

Bai Chuan took away the medicine bowl and was about to take it into the kitchen. When he walked out, he said, "What kind of certificate do you need for a gelding!"

"Guild pig? That... what is it for?" Qiu He's intuition was very bad, but he still kept his eyes wide open to find out the truth.

Bai Chuan said with a bit of contempt in his tone, "Poultry castration."

After he finished speaking, he went out and walked into the yard, only to hear Qiuhe howl, accompanied by the sound of beating the bed and pounding the pillow: "What? The medicine that the piggy guy prescribed for me? Ahhh, I Go crazy! What on earth is Grandpa going to do?..."

Bai Chuan grinned, and felt that he seemed to have gotten into trouble, so he washed the medicine bowl, then slipped through the window and went back to his home.

Sure enough, as soon as Shen Baocheng came home, Qiu He aggressively asked him to prove Old Man Ding's occupation.Shen Baocheng avoided the important and ignored the minor, and told many cases of difficult and miscellaneous diseases cured by old man Ding with certainty, and all of them had names and surnames, and they were people he was familiar with.

"But Bai Chuan said that he was a pigger!" Qiu He revealed sadly and indignantly.

"That's Bai Chuan's prejudice against others!" Shen Baocheng retorted calmly.

Qiu He was angry: "Then is he a gelding or not?"

"You can't see a doctor if you are a pig? The old people and children around here, cattle, horses, pigs and sheep, as long as they are alive, your Grandpa Ding can treat them! Most people can't invite them, this is called skill!"

Qiu He was so angry that his grandfather hired a veterinarian to see him, and praised him as rare in the world.He swore he would not drink any more medicine, and Shen Baocheng also got angry, standing in the yard and shouting to the neighbor: "Bai Chuan, come here! Tell yourself, don't you also drink the medicine prescribed by others when you are sick?"

After a long time, Bai Chuan stood up in front of the door, and said very unconvinced: "Anyway, I can't die from drinking."

"Little heartless," Shen Baocheng accused him, "It's a shame that I walked more than ten miles to see you last time!"

"Who knows what he has in mind?" Bai Chuan muttered softly, seeing Shen Baocheng glaring at him, he immediately fled away.

Qiu He couldn't help laughing.In his impression, except for his grandfather, Bai Chuan has the same attitude towards the townspeople: neither flattering nor hostile.This keeps him out of the small town's social circle, but not annoying.

But his attitude towards this old man Ding made Qiuhe notice a little difference.That kind of undisguised contempt, as if he knew the other party's details very well, but didn't bother to expose it.

In the evening, Qiuhe failed to beat old man Shen. While drinking the medicine, he kept saying that his grandfather bullied him. If his mother hadn't had a good relationship with him, he would have called to complain.

After that, after Shen Baocheng went up the mountain, Bai Chuan often came here uninvited.He insisted on opening the window every time, and always brought something strange and weird.Sometimes it is an edible fruit, and sometimes it is an inedible fruit, so let Qiuhe put it on the bedside to smell it.

Talking is still as rare as ever, but now that they are familiar with each other, there is no need to talk politely.They often do their own things in the room, and strike up a conversation with each other when they think of it, mostly Qiu He asks and Bai Chuan answers.

One morning, Qiu He was reading at home when he suddenly heard motorcycles roaring outside the door, more than one, and finally the sound stopped in front of Bai Chuan's door.The injury on Qiuhe's foot healed a bit, so he limped out, opened the front door, and saw several people getting off the motorcycle, holding iron bars in their hands, and heading aggressively into Baichuan's yard.

Qiu He turned pale with fright, panicked and had no time to think, turned around and took a long wooden stick from the pile of firewood, and limped to Bai Chuan's house. Surrounded by Bai Chuan, one of them with a bald head pointed at Bai Chuan darkly and said, "Hit me! If you beat me to death, I'll be the one!"

Few people live here, even if they shout for help, no one will hear them.Qiu He was quick to get wise outside the door, took out his mobile phone and called Shi Lao Liu, and asked him that he was in the town, and purposely yelled loudly: "Uncle Shi Liu, someone is bullying Bai Chuan here, you should bring someone here quickly, bring some more!" personal!"

A fat man standing at the door heard movement outside the house, swung a steel bar and rushed towards Qiuhe.Where did Qiuhe fight with a white chicken?Seeing his menacing approach, he panicked, closed his eyes and yelled, and waved the wooden stick in his hand desperately to strengthen his momentum.Unexpectedly, as soon as the fat man went out, he fell forward with a plop and fell far away, smashing Shaguping into dust.

Qiu He was stunned, and instantly thought that she had burst out with supernatural power at a critical moment. Surprised and delighted, she rushed up to beat the dog in the water, and punched the fat man with a few sticks. Seeing that he could not get up with his head in his arms, he rushed into the house to help Bai Chuan go.

The inside was now in a mess, two of them were already lying on the ground, and the remaining three forced Bai Chuan to the corner of the courtyard, and the iron bars swung loudly.Qiu He immediately shouted into the yard: "Bai Chuan, don't be afraid! Sixth Uncle Shi has brought people here! They will be here soon, and none of them will be able to escape!"

When the three people in the courtyard heard that foreign aid was coming, they all panicked, winking at each other and wanting to run out.Bai Chuan kicked up from behind, kicked a person in the back of the heart, then moved to the middle, kicked backspin, hit another person in the face, picked up a steel bar on the ground and swung it out, just as he was running outside. On the lap of a person, the whole yard is full of people in an instant.

"Go back and tell the surname Liu to give up as soon as possible!" He didn't take a breath, his expression was unprecedentedly stern, and he kicked a guy who was lying down and moaning, "Next time someone comes, don't blame me for being rude! roll!"

Those few people were in a panic, they got up from the ground and walked out, got on their motorcycles and ran away in a hurry.

Qiu He was startled and excited at the same time, when he looked at Bai Chuan, he felt that he was so cool that man and nature were one.Now seeing him let those people go, he couldn't help being very dissatisfied: "Just let them go? Why didn't you send them to the police station?"

"It's a waste of effort." Bai Chuan pulled Qiuhe over, looked him up and down and asked, "Did they hit you?"

Qiu He shook his head and was about to speak when a large group of people ran up the road, some with hoes and some with poles. The leader, Shi Laoliu, was holding a shotgun in his hand. Seeing Qiu He and Bai Chuan standing at the door, He breathed a sigh of relief, and asked from a distance: "Where are you injured? A few people were riding motorcycles just now, and they ran away when they saw us turning around. Is it them?"

Qiu He used to think that Sixth Uncle Shi was a kind-faced middle-aged man, but he didn't expect that there would be times when his strength was at full strength.He was much more eloquent than Bai Chuan, so he described the situation just now vividly, and the old men became angry and talked a lot.

"You even came to bully people! Have you got the king's law yet?"

"Throwing snakes in the house today, and coming to beat people tomorrow, do you really despise the old and young in our Liangshi Town?"

Anyway, the people had already left, and after talking for a while, they dispersed.Before leaving, Bai Chuan thanked everyone, and the old man Liu from the barber shop said to him, "Thank you for what? If I hurt you, it won't be the face of our Liangshi Town? It's easy to say, the child is sitting at home and being beaten There is no one to help!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and greeted the people who came with him: "In the future, if you encounter strangers walking around town, everyone should be more vigilant! These people can't do anything just to make money?"

Qiu He and Bai Chuan sent people to the door and watched them go away, only then did they really relax.Qiuhe's ankle was not completely healed at first, but after exerting force just now, it started to hurt again.

He didn't want to worry Bai Chuan, so he limped back without saying a word.Who would have thought that Bai Chuan stepped in front of him in two steps, squatted down, and said, "Come up!"

Qiuhe felt that making him back like this made him look like a serious patient for many years, so he said embarrassedly: "It's a few steps, you can walk across it by jumping."

Bai Chuan turned his head to look at him, and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Qiuhe had no choice but to lie on his back and let him carry him into the house.On the way, he suddenly smiled and said, "Bai Chuan, I think the people in this town are pretty nice."

"Ah."

"The next time those people dare to come again, ask the people in the town to help fight back!"

"it is good!"

"Let grandpa prepare a shotgun at home!"

"Grandpa has."

"Really? Where? How come I never saw it?"

"He's hiding it."

……

Qiuhe's uneasy heart sank back into her stomach.He thought, even if those bastards would come again in the future, it wouldn't be so scary.Bai Chuan was very good at shooting, and his grandfather had a shotgun. What's more, beside them, there were dozens of righteous people from Liangshi Town.
