The weather is getting hotter and hotter, Su Gui and Xiu Niang are busy in the wheat threshing field, Tao Hua spends all day making embroidery in the house, and the only idlers are Su Mo and Lan Hua.

Seeing the younger brother dozing lazily at the table again, Lanhua jumped up from the chair—"Let's go to the bamboo forest." In this weather, taking a nice bath in the river and swimming a few more times will surely Very comfortable.

"..."

Su Mo thought of the strange man he saw last time, and was very curious. In literary terms, he could tell at a glance that he was a man with a story.

As soon as the two of them approached the bamboo forest, they immediately felt cool and pleasant. It was really right to come here.

"Little brother, I'm going to take a shower, you can play around here!"

As soon as Lanhua saw the stream, she couldn't help it. She looked around, explained a few words casually, and went straight to the big rock.

Su Mo sat by the stream, dipped one hand into the stream and swiped twice, it was cool and refreshing, so comfortable, he also wanted to swim in the water.It's a pity, I can only think about it, his body doesn't allow it.

The fish in the stream swam happily around, and they didn't feel afraid at all when they met people. From time to time, they flicked their tails a few times, splashing a string of water.

"You guys!"

Su Mo wiped her face with the water beads in her hand, and suddenly became interested in fishing for some reason.

He casually picked up a thin stick by the stream and used it as a fishing rod. After thinking about it, he was short of a fishing line, so he simply untied the string that tied his hair, and tied it tightly on the top of the bamboo pole.With a flick of the bamboo pole, he caught fish in a serious manner by the stream.

"How can you catch fish like this? You don't even have a hook, not to mention bait."

Shen Qinghe noticed the two siblings early in the morning, and didn't pay attention at first, but it seemed that the kid didn't know how to fish at all, and it was already time for a cup of tea, yet he was still sitting motionless.

Once again, his eyes flicked over the child beside him, and he was a little surprised to see his peaceful expression.It is really rare to have such a qualitative attitude at such a young age.

In this life, there are not many people who can make Shen Qinghe look up to - it's rare, he kindly stepped forward to remind him.

Facing the light, Su Mo looked up, and the white hair seemed to be shining. He blinked his eyes and said quite "naively": "If the fish are willing, they will naturally take the bait."

This weirdo seemed to be in a good mood today, and the coldness in his eyes dissipated a lot.

Shen Qinghe was stunned for a moment when he heard the "childish" words, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. The coldness in his body disappeared, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth—"What a wisher took the bait!"

Shen Qinghe suddenly burst out laughing, he lives in seclusion here, he thinks he is detached from those worldly people, all he did was put the fish back.And a little child is actually more free and easy than himself!

Looking at the child carefully, he seemed to be sick, his complexion was pale, his eyebrows and lips were extremely pale, and his figure was slender. At first glance, he was congenitally deficient, and he did not take good care of him the day after tomorrow, so he must have suffered a lot.

It's rare for him to have such a good attitude after a long illness!

"Baby, do you often faint? Chest tightness, shortness of breath, weakness in limbs?"

Shen Qinghe hadn't seen a doctor for a long time, but this time he wanted to make an exception for the child in front of him.

"Well, my mother said that my problem is carried in the womb."

Su Mo's heart skipped a beat, did he meet the legendary expert?Although the strange man asked questions, his tone was completely affirmative, full of confidence.

"you--"

Shen Qinghe was about to say something more, but was blocked by the little girl who rushed over suddenly.

"Hey, what do you want to do? Stay away from my brother."

Lan Hua had had enough fun, went ashore and put on her clothes, and was about to go to find her younger brother, when she saw that strange man leaning beside him, not knowing what to say.She immediately rushed to the two of them like a hen guarding her chicks.

"Third sister, I'm fine."

Su Mo stood up, patted the dust off her body, and let Lan Hua examine it carefully.

"Little brother, let's go."

Lanhua looked left and right, up and down, to make sure that the little brother didn't lose a hair, so she felt relieved.He glared at the strange man, and pulled him away.

"Three sisters—"

Su Mo called out helplessly, he still wanted to say something to this "expert man", but he was dragged a few steps away by Lan Hua.

"Three days, after another three days, he will still get sick." Shen Qinghe was not in a hurry to stop people, and just threw out such a sentence leisurely.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, go and go!"

When Lan Hua heard it, she felt even more unhappy. This man actually cursed his younger brother for getting sick, why is his mind so bad!Afterwards, she decided not to bring her little brother here again, but unfortunately she couldn't bathe in the stream anymore...

"Every time he gets sick, his life span will be reduced by one point, and he will soon be close to death."

After Shen Qinghe finished talking on his own, he stopped looking at the reaction of the siblings, and walked towards the bamboo building leisurely.

Hearing what he said, Su Mo's heart skipped a beat, feeling that he was telling the truth.Since this person is so determined, is there a cure?

"That weird man actually said that my younger brother will get sick in three days, and that every time he gets sick, his life will be reduced by one point... It's really nonsense!"

When she got home, Lan Hua was still furious, and angrily repeated to her parents.

"You girl, you actually took your brother to the bamboo forest?"

Obviously, Su Gui and Xiu Niang also knew that there was a strange person living in that bamboo forest, it should be said that almost everyone in the village knew about it.

"not me--"

Only then did Lan Hua realize that she had revealed her truth, and ran towards the door cleverly, or she would be beaten again if she didn't run.

"Mom, I must go."

Su Mo quickly reached out and grabbed Xiu Niang's sleeve, taking all the responsibility on herself, and she was determined not to be willing to beat herself up.

"You don't have to excuse her. I don't know what kind of temper she is?"

Xiu Niang feigned anger and said, she didn't shake off her son's hand holding the sleeve.Anyway, she was mostly trying to scare the second girl.

"hey-hey……"

Lan Hua blinked gratefully at her younger brother at the door, thanking herself for having escaped.

Su Gui and Xiu Niang didn't seem to listen to their daughter's words, but they kept an eye on their son's condition.

Not to mention, it was really true. On the third night, Su Mo really fell ill, and it was more serious than any other time.

This time, the whole family believed it. The strange man in the bamboo forest was probably a doctor with excellent medical skills. Maybe he really could cure Su Mo's illness.

The next day, Su Gui and Xiu Niang bought some snacks, brought a pot of wine, and the whole family went to the bamboo forest to visit Shen Qinghe.They also want to get some decent things, but they have no money at home...

Seeing Shen Qinghe, Su Gui respectfully called Mr., explaining the purpose of his visit—"Sir, you are right, my son is ill again." After speaking, he clasped his fists and saluted again.

Shen Qinghe waved his hand, signaling him not to be too polite. Although the other party is just a farmer, he is not the same as an ordinary farmer. In addition to being simple and honest, he also has an extra "I can save people, but I have one condition." .”

He didn't talk nonsense, and put forward his request directly.

"Sir, just mention it, as long as we have it, it's just that the family really doesn't have much money..."

As soon as she heard that there was hope, Xiu Niang eagerly agreed, but she still had to be within her own ability.If he asks too much for a consultation—

"Mother, sir, a first-year hermit, how can you be the kind of worldly person who values ​​money?"

Tao Hua hastily interrupted her mother's words, but if she really cared about it, she would be confused. Fortunately, there was no displeasure on her husband's face.If it annoys people, wouldn't it be self-defeating?

"In the future, your son's illness will be cured. Don't say that I healed it. I only have this request. If you can't do it, you can leave."

Shen Qinghe said indifferently, even though he has escaped from the world here, there is no guarantee that that person will not find him.That person has many eyes and ears, and the slightest disturbance can attract people.

"Okay, okay, we promise."

Su Gui nodded again and again, agreeing on behalf of the whole family, such a condition is easier than they thought before.Although I don't understand why my husband would do this, as long as my son's illness can be cured, it will be fine.

"From now on, I will come here for two hours every afternoon, and I will give him acupuncture and medicinal baths."

Shen Qinghe looked at the child who was quietly standing aside, even at this time he didn't get too carried away, only those radiant eyes revealed the joy in his heart.This child is really special, and I hope it will be worth it in the end to take the risk of healing him.

"I need a needle, isn't that painful?"

When Lan Hua heard about acupuncture, her eyebrows frowned. She learned embroidery from her mother, and it hurt when her fingers pricked.

"Who is like you, a coward."

Xiu Niang bent her index finger and shuddered towards her head. Thinking of her son's illness being cured, she felt like joking.

"..."

Su Mo stood on the side, looking calm, but inwardly he was very manic, as if a hundred elephants were stepping heavily, why did they need needles?He has fainted from needles since he was a child, and he doesn't know if the problem is still there after changing the shell.

When he thought of the tiny needles used in acupuncture, the hairs all over his body stood on end, and he wished he could run away.

But he can't run, he has to be treated, and no matter how painful the process is, he has to endure it.

As long as he won't be a burden to his family from now on, he will admit it even if he is tied into a sieve.
