Xiaoyao Nongjiazi

After a rest, the team moved on.

When everyone was exhausted and longed for a house that was warm and sheltered from the wind and rain, they finally saw people.

Everyone was overjoyed, and Guanshi Wang was no exception.He sent someone to knock on the door of the nearest farmer's courtyard. After hearing their intentions, the man enthusiastically took Steward Wang and Steward Lin to meet the village head.

Soon, the convoy was all set up.

The village where the convoy settled temporarily was not big, and there was not even a single person who could be called a landlord, so everyone had to be scattered and lived in various farm houses.

Zhong Zhengyi lives in the same house as Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu. After seeing Zhong Qingran's troubles, Zhong Zhengyi is worried if he doesn't put him under his nose.

Zhong Qingran had no objection to this.For some reason, he felt extremely exhausted both physically and mentally, barely awake after dinner, and fell back into a deep sleep.

Jian Mingyu tucked up the quilt for Zhong Qingran, and looked at him worriedly.Being able to sleep like this, isn't it because of something wrong with your body?But judging by his face, it doesn't look like something is wrong.With such an uneasy mood, Jian Mingyu stood by his side for a long time, his eyelids gradually began to fight, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, and fell asleep together.

The next morning, Zhong Qingran stayed at the farmhouse where he stayed.

"Have you heard that the water dragon king showed his power yesterday, and the villages at the foot of the mountain suffered disaster."

"Well, the flood hasn't receded until now. It's really rare to have floods in winter. I don't know how many people will survive."

"In such a cold day, even people with good water skills can't stand the cold water. Just thinking about it makes me feel a chill down my spine."

"Who is crying?" The person who spoke listened carefully with his ears pierced. Covered by the sound of the rain, the crying sound appeared and disappeared, and he couldn't judge it for a while.

"It's the daughter-in-law of Fang Yuan's family. Her natal family is at the foot of the mountain. I don't know if she has escaped this catastrophe." The man said with a slightly youthful voice.

"Fortunately, your natal family and I are both on the mountain, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Yeah, I used to be disliked because of this because of my poor family and bad family background. I didn't expect that there would be a day of profit."

"Who made them look down on us, let's do it now."

"Don't say that, it's a matter of life."

"Hey, it's not because they talk too much and taunt people in our village everywhere. Forget it, God has the virtue of being good at life, and I hope to survive a few more."

……

The two women were chatting while working in the main room, and they didn't avoid people when they talked.Jian Mingyu got up early in the morning and was planning to consult a doctor for Qingran, but he didn't expect to hear the news as soon as he left the room.

Before Jian Mingyu went out to confirm it himself, Manager Wang sent someone to inform Zhong Zhengyi about it.In this way, the convoy was trapped in this small village.As long as the flood did not recede, they would not be able to set off for a day.

Jian Mingyu turned back to his room, and what he saw was Zhong Qingran's peaceful sleeping face.He stepped forward to check it carefully again, and seeing nothing changed, he gently closed the door, intending to prepare some porridge for health after breakfast.

The farm where Jian Mingyu stayed was relatively poor, not to mention meat, he couldn't even provide some decent staple food.Fortunately, they are traveling far away, whether it is a caravan or Qiu Shaoan and his party, they all have sufficient supplies.

Jian Mingyu borrowed a farm stove to cook a pot of green vegetable noodles for himself, brought them to the room, and ate them with sauced meat. It was simple and delicious.He eats more than his peers. After eating a whole bowl of noodles, his stomach is only [-]% full.Since there is no need to do physical work, this amount is enough.

Zhong Zhengyi ate with the caravan, and Jian Mingyu didn't need to make a fuss. Jian Mingyu knew this a few days earlier, and because of this, he didn't do Zhong Zhengyi's share.

Afterwards, Jian Mingyu ordered another pot of noodles and called for a long time before waking Zhong Qingran up.Seeing that he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, Jian Mingyu didn't ask him to wash up, but put on his clothes, helped him to lean against the bed, crushed the noodles into small pieces, and fed him directly.

It's not that Zhong Qingran is unconscious, he's just mentally weak, the consciousness of swallowing is still there, and he consciously eats according to Jian Mingyu's movements.

Seeing this, Jian Mingyu looked a little better.

One feeds, one eats, and the room is filled with a warm atmosphere.

After Zhong Qingran finished his breakfast, the only sliver of clarity escaped into the darkness again.After Jian Mingyu put the bowl on the table for a while, Zhong Qingran fell into a deep sleep again. Jian Mingyu reluctantly wiped the corners of his mouth with a cloth towel.

After clearing away the bowls and chopsticks, Jian Mingyu used the stove on the carriage to cook porridge.Cooking porridge is too troublesome, and the stove is better than the stove.The carriage was ingeniously designed, and the stove could be disassembled, which greatly facilitated Jian Mingyu.

When the aroma of porridge lingered on the tip of Jian Mingyu's nose, even the porridge oil was boiled, Zhong Qingran was still sleeping soundly.Jian Mingyu's usual clear eyes seemed a little dim.

When one gets sick at this time, minor illnesses are fine, but serious illnesses are really unacceptable, and the earth is not working well. You can only ask for blessings.

Jian Mingyu was worried, but he never thought that Zhong Qingran would have a big problem.Zhong Qingran slept peacefully, his face was rosy, and he had no other symptoms. Everything indicated that he was just lethargic, that he slept for a long time, yes, it must be like this, Jian Mingyu comforted himself like this.

Time passed by, and while waiting, Steward Wang and Steward Lin came over in person to express their gratitude to Zhong Qingran.Regardless of the reason, Zhong Qingran's willful actions can be said to have saved the lives of the convoy and the entire team. Just verbal thanks are not sincere enough. If you don't even do this, you are not worthy of a human being.

Seeing that Zhong Qingran hadn't woken up yet, the two left a pile of thank you gifts, and said goodbye to Jian Mingyu.

"Huh?" Zhong Qingran woke up in a daze, not knowing what Xi Xi was.

"Are you awake?" Surprise flashed in Jian Mingyu's eyes, and his tone of voice rose slightly, "I'll warm the food for you, get up and wash up."

Zhong Qingran was at a loss for a moment, and then remembered that he stayed at the farmhouse last night.

"What time is it now?"

"It's past noon. After sleeping for so long, how are you doing? The mountain has become a pool of water, so I can't find a doctor for you." Jian Mingyu looked worried.

Zhong Qingran felt his body, everything was normal, and then said: "It's okay."

"Then get up and eat quickly, I cooked porridge for you."

Thinking of what happened in the morning, Zhong Qingran felt a little embarrassed, and couldn't help complaining about Fu Yunzhu, which was too much trouble.

Taking advantage of the time of washing, Zhong Qingran looked at the lucky beads. At first glance, there was no change, but it gave people a warm feeling, and it seemed that after a long time, it could make people feel happy.When he set his sights on the total amount of luck, his heart skipped a beat. The consumption is too much, right? What big thing did I do?

Before Zhong Qingran could figure it out, his question was soon answered.

"You said there was a flood yesterday?" Zhong Qingran couldn't believe it.

"Well. A lot of places were flooded. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to say whether we would still be alive." Jian Mingyu spoke with a hint of pride in his tone.

Zhong Qingran was a little complacent, but when he thought of the power of the flood, he couldn't laugh even if he wanted to. He got up and looked at the rain outside, then walked around the room again, and asked, "Where are Dianbai and Minglei?"

"out."

"It's raining so hard, how dare they go out?" Zhong Qingran frowned slightly. Now, although the two little guys have plump wings, they have not yet reached adulthood. Oh no.

"I'm not worried, but they keep clamoring to go out, and I can't stop them." Jian Mingyu had helplessness and puzzlement in his eyes.

"Since they are going to fly out by themselves, it should be fine. Don't worry, they are very smart." Zhong Qingran immediately changed his words, "How long have they been out?"

"About half an hour."

This time is not short, Zhong Qingran can't say more comforting words.Even though they knew this in their hearts, the two still couldn't help worrying about the two young eagles.

At this moment, Dianbai and Minglei are soaring in the rain. Every time the rain hits their bodies, their bodies sink a little bit. The feathers on their backs are fine, and they are not easy to get wet. Performance is not complete yet.

If Zhong Qingran saw him, he would probably sigh with emotion.What many people can't do, was actually done by two young eagles.

The two young eagles were brought up by human beings. No matter in any respect, they can't compare with wild eagles.Challenge yourself and grow up in adversity, which can well make up for their lack of wildness.

Zhong Qingran asked himself that he had a relationship with the two eagles, and it would be very difficult for him to deal ruthlessly.How smart do these two eagles have to be to do this?

Fortunately, it wasn't a thunderstorm, otherwise, Zhong Qingran could only call them back. If they were struck by lightning, wouldn't it be a great injustice?

"Cry!" "Cry!"

Dianbai and Minglei flew very happily, especially when they saw the same kind, they couldn't help but fly forward and circle around it.

It was also an eagle, but it was an adult. When it saw the two little guys, it was not so enthusiastic. It looked at them with cold eyes for a while, and then flapped its wings and flew away.

Dianbai and Minglei chased for a while, and were chased away several times by the adult eagles before turning around reluctantly and leaving.

The dynamic vision of the eagle is very strong. The two young eagles were originally a little listless. When they passed a mountain peak, they suddenly cheered up, moved in unison, and swooped down quickly without giving the prey time to react.When they took off again, they held a brightly colored golden pheasant in their paws.

"They're back." Jian Mingyu's hearing was more sensitive than Zhong Qingran's, and he was the first to hear the chirping of eagles in the distance. He pushed open the door and blew a long whistle.

Soon, two voices of "Zi!" and "Zi!" came from a distance in response.

This time, Zhong Qingran also heard it, and immediately looked up into the sky.He couldn't see very far because of the rain blocking his vision.Fortunately, apart from raindrops, there are no obstacles in the sky that can obscure the line of sight, so you can see farther than on flat ground.

Seeing the black dots flying crookedly, Zhong Qingran frowned, not understanding what these two little guys were up to.Listening to their chirping, they should be very happy, how did they become like this?

Zhong Qingran didn't realize it until their clear figures appeared in his sight.Dianbai and Minglei are brave enough to catch a pheasant bigger than themselves!Not afraid of being overwhelmed and being dragged down.

Two young eagles sang happily, threw the pheasant into the yard, folded their wings, landed smoothly, and ran towards Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu to ask for rewards.

I don't know why, but Dianbai and Minglei like to eat cooked food very much, and raw meat has become an occasional condiment instead.It probably has something to do with Jian Mingyu feeding them jerky at first.

Logically speaking, after eating cooked food, the wild nature of the eagle will gradually fade, no one thought that this point is not obvious in Dianbai and Minglei.

Zhong Qingran patted the heads of the two young eagles as a gesture of praise, but what should be said is that they are still small and probably weigh less than a golden pheasant. Flying with such a large prey is not a commendable behavior.

Dianbai and Minglei turned their heads sideways, pretending to be listening carefully.Zhong Qingran was not surprised, after being with them for so long, he could roughly distinguish the expressions on their faces, at first they were bewildered, then suddenly realized "So that's how it is", and after Zhong Qingran said a few more words, it became Despise "It goes without saying, I already understood".

Zhong Qingran's face was a little embarrassing, he didn't know if there was something wrong with his understanding, otherwise how could he come to this result?

While Zhong Qingran was communicating with the two young eagles, Jian Mingyu entered the room, and when he came out, he was holding a plate with some pieces of dried meat in it.Seeing the food, Dianbai and Minglei ignored Zhong Qingran, abandoned him without any regrets, and began to beg for food around Jian Mingyu.

Zhong Qingran couldn't help stroking his forehead, and the two eagles demonstrated what it meant to be a mother if you have milk.Of course, these were just Zhong Qingran's complaints. Dianbai and Minglei were arrogant, and they ignored no one except him and Jian Mingyu.

Zhong Qingran patted his forehead and was so busy playing with the two hawks that he forgot about the prey, so he hurriedly ran into the rain under the umbrella and picked up the pheasant.

"Mother, is that an eagle?" The little girl stared wide-eyed, without blinking, at the two birds, which were not easy to fly in the air, and her eyes were full of curiosity.

"I look at it, and it seems that I'm not yet an adult." The woman's eyes widened suddenly, she swallowed her saliva, and said, "This should be the eagle raised by those two young masters. It's only this big. , so powerful that you can actually help your master catch prey. Father, if you have this ability, our family will be furious."

"Forget it, is this something that ordinary people can do? Even the county magistrate can't do it. If I have this ability, will I stay here?"

"That's true. We work all year round, and we can barely make ends meet. We're not as good as two beasts. It's true that people are more angry than others. What's even more annoying is that we are compared by an eagle."

"Okay, don't complain, this time we are lucky, no relatives in the family were affected by the disaster, you don't even look at it, there are already several families in the village who have taken in relatives who have come to seek shelter, and life is already difficult, so let's do this again , I guess I can only live on gruel.”

Speaking of this matter, several people in the room sighed.It’s easy to deal with disasters in summer, but disasters in winter, that suffers, it’s scary to think about it.

Seeing Jian Mingyu walking towards the stove with a pheasant, the children of this family were leaning in front of the hall, staring intently, their eyes seemed to be glowing green, very penetrating.

Seeing this, Jian Mingyu paused, thought for a while, and said to the elderly woman: "Auntie, please clean up the two chickens for me. I will use the chicken as reward."

The old woman's face was full of joy, and she hurriedly called the daughter-in-laws to work in the kitchen.

Zhong Qingran hadn't eaten fresh meat for several days. Looking at the plate of braised chicken nuggets and a large bowl of chicken soup in front of him, his appetite was whetted, and he even used more staple food than before.Who made Jian Mingyu's craftsmanship more and more sophisticated, and his body became rounder after eating.

It was night, and the torrential rain still showed no sign of stopping.As time went on, the expressions of everyone in the team gradually became serious.

After the flood has been diverted, although it has receded a little, as long as the rain does not stop for a day, it will not be completely receded. There are hidden dangers in it, which can only be speculated by individuals.

These days, everyone in the convoy pays special attention to eating and drinking water. Half-cooked food is strictly not allowed to be imported, and unboiled water is even more undrinkable.

Under the communication between Steward Wang and Steward Lin, the village head ordered the villagers to do the same, and there was no problem in the village.

It can’t be raining all the time. This is the north after all. It’s not as rainy as in the south. Two days later, the rain gradually weakened. The sun came out one day later, and the flood receded slowly. In less than a day, it receded. clean up.

Many villagers are anxious, but this is not a good time to go down the mountain.

Qiu Shaoan found a place with a wide view, and set up his clairvoyance to check. Through the cold mirror, he could clearly see the miserable state of the village not far from the foot of the mountain, with swollen corpses lying all over the place. tragedy.Even he, who is used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but change his face.

You can know the whole leopard at a glance, this is the case here, and other places are probably not much better.

Some things cannot be controlled by humans.The Great Zhou Dynasty paid attention to burrowing into the soil for safety, and there are many villagers in the village who are related to several nearby villages by marriage. It is simply a matter of hatred between man and god to prevent them from collecting the bones for their relatives.

Zhong Qingran wanted to propose cremation of the body, but can he say this?cannot.He could only watch helplessly as things deviated from expectations and developed in an unknown direction.

The place where Zhong Qingran settled was a remote mountain village, and there was not even a doctor, let alone medicinal materials.

Since he couldn't go down the mountain, Zhong Qingran came up with the idea of ​​medicinal herbs on the mountain.At this time of year, most of the annual herbs have withered, but as long as they are kept intact, they should still be used as medicine, but the efficacy will be reduced.Perennials are easy to handle, so don't worry about it at all.

After Zhong Qingran talked to Zhong Zhengyi, he took the two young eagles and followed Jian Mingyu into the mountain.

Zhong Qingran's main goal is to pick herbs that can improve the body's resistance. As for whether this flood will cause an epidemic, Zhong Qingran does not comment, but he knows in his heart that this must be a certainty, but it is just a matter of time and scale. question.The terrain in this area is special, which will cause the flood to persist for a long time.After being flooded for such a long time, the area is considered ruined, and I don't know how many years it will take to recover.

Because he didn't know what kind of epidemic would happen, Zhong Qingran picked all the medicinal materials that could cure the epidemic and put them into the basket.The two of them worked hard all day, but they couldn't fill up the utensils they brought out.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them didn't stay long, packed up their things and started to return home.

Zhong Qingran blew a whistle, and after a while, Dianbai and Minglei circled above their heads.

"Go, go home."

As soon as the two entered the village, they noticed something unusual.None of the children who had been playing outside had disappeared, and every household had closed their doors.

Zhong Zhengyi paced around the room anxiously. It was the first time he went out to do business, and it was just a bad thing like a flood. The third nephew made trouble for him. Can you save him some trouble?

Just as he was muttering, there was a knock on the door outside. Hearing that it was Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu, Zhong Zhengyi hurriedly stepped forward to open the door.

"Second Uncle, I can't see anyone outside, what happened?" Zhong Qingran didn't know why, so he asked bluntly.

"Two people in the village vomited and had diarrhea. It looked like an epidemic. No, everyone panicked? During these days, you should stay in the house and don't go anywhere." Zhong Zhengyi said seriously Said.

"it is good."

Zhong Qingran's family knew about his own family affairs, and his Chinese medicine skills were only at a half-baked level. Knowing the condition, he could prescribe a prescription and let him diagnose it.If he only saves one or two, he can still use the ability of the lucky luck beads, but he can't do anything to save the people in this village.

Before escaping the flood disaster, the lucky luck beads consumed a lot of luck, and if he did it again, the luck he saved with great difficulty would probably be exhausted soon.Zhong Qingran did not allow this to happen.Leaving aside his own consideration, and only thinking about Mr. and Mrs. Zhong who are far away in Hewan Village, he cannot use up all his good luck.More importantly, it is justified to use medical skills to treat him. How can he cover up the use of Fu Yunzhu's ability?It is obviously not feasible to use a prescription as a pretense. It is impossible for a prescription to be effective for a while and not for a while, right?

Zhong Qingran is not a hard-hearted person, within the scope of his ability, he will do his best.

Recalling the symptoms described by the second uncle, Zhong Qingran's mind appeared those diseases that matched it. After picking and choosing among the medicinal materials for a long time, with the help of Jian Mingyu, it took a lot of effort to cook a big pot of medicinal soup .He doesn't know if it's right or not, so it's always right to drink it first to prevent it.

"Second Uncle, this is a preventive decoction. I don't know if it will work or not. You drink it first, and then ask Second Uncle to send it to others."

Looking at the bowl of dark things in front of him, Zhong Zhengyi was a little dazed. He knew that Zhong Qingran was reading medicine books, but he didn't know that he had reached the point where he could prescribe prescriptions.Zhong Zhengyi was very hesitant, can this thing be drunk?This is medicine, not food.He still knew that medicine should not be taken indiscriminately.

"Second Uncle, I don't know if it will work or not. It will be fine if you drink it. My nephew can guarantee this. Mingyu and I just had a bowl each."

Stared at by Zhong Qingran's dark eyes, Zhong Zhengyi hesitated again and again, and finally decided to go all out, closing his eyes and finishing the drink in one gulp.After a while, seeing that nothing was wrong, Zhong Zhengfang said solemnly: "I will take care of the rest, and you can just stay indoors."

Zhong Zhengyi first persuaded the host family to drink a bowl, and then went out armed with two buckets of medicinal soup under Zhong Qingran's supervision.

Don't think that Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu have nothing to do. A big pot of medicinal soup can only take care of 20 people. If everyone in the village has a bowl, they have to cook at least several pots.

Because these medicinal soups were free, seeing that Zhong Zhengyi was fine after drinking it, everyone in the caravan and the villagers all adhered to the principle of being a bastard if you have an advantage and don't take advantage of it.Apart from this point, in fact, they are somewhat lucky, what if it works?

The two sick people even poured down two bowls each, just like a drowning person grabbing a piece of driftwood, if they don't hold it tightly in their arms, they will only see the King of Hades.This is still wandering around the village, just like this, is it okay to go out?There are more people outside, and the chance of getting sick is higher.

When a suspected epidemic was found, he was so anxious that he could not know what to do.They did bring the commonly used medicines, but no one expected that this would happen, and the old doctor didn't go with them. It was a mistake. If something happened to the master, he would never be blamed.

"Tuk Tuk."

"Come in."

"Boss Lin, Zhong Qingran's second uncle is here to deliver medicine."

"?" Xing Wu was full of doubts, thought for a while, and said, "Lead him in."

After learning of Zhong Zhengyi's purpose, Xing Wu drank a bowl first, waited for a while to see that he was all right, and then knocked on Qiu Shaoan's door with the medicine.

"Come in."

"Master, this is what Zhong Qingran asked his second uncle to send over, saying that it is possible to prevent and cure the epidemic, and his subordinates are fine after drinking it, do you think?"

"Leave it alone, you go down first."

Xingwu withdrew respectfully.

Qiu Shaoan looked at the poor-looking bowl of soup in front of him, blanked for a while with a blank expression on his face, and then drank it all in one gulp.
