tiger at home

Lin Ziqian picked twenty or thirty peaches and went home without letting them go, and then sent some to Aunt Wang's house and the village head's house.

After three years of getting along, Lin Ziqian likes Liu Mingyang's cheerful and free-spirited personality. He admires his elder brother Liu Bigui's dedication to the village. The two brothers depend on each other, which also makes Lin Ziqian closer. The fields of the two families happen to be on the same side , so a little more intimacy.

Liu Mingyang is a guy who loves to eat and play, but unfortunately the two men in his family can't cook well, so he especially likes to go out to buy food, and every time he brings food for Lin Ziqian and Lin Zijin from other villages and towns, his mouth is full. Sweet, playing with Lin Zijin seems to be only two points worse than his brother.

And Lin Ziqian is a squat at home, except for a few laps up the mountain every day, he rarely even goes to the town, so he will send fruit and meat to him.

The village chief's family has many relatives, and if 20 peaches were sent over, it is estimated that they will be finished soon.

As soon as Liu Mingyang came up, he picked the biggest one. He took a big bite and was immediately overwhelmed by its sweet and crunchy taste. After eating one, he took another one, and asked while eating, "Lin Ziqian , the peaches from you are so delicious!"

"I picked it from the peach grove in the back mountain!"

"That peach grove in the back mountain?" Liu Mingyang blinked, his thick and curly eyelashes were like two cattail fans, "It's not the place I thought it was!"

Seeing his reaction, Lin Ziqian secretly pursed his lips and smiled, "It's the one walking through the bamboo forest, by the stream."

"My God, I really can't see that you have such good physical strength. You don't stay in the house in the summer and you actually walk back and forth on the mountain road for four hours!" Liu Mingyang looked at Lin Ziqian as if he was insane. He looked at Lin Ziqian up and down , "Brother Li Ran said that you have great strength, but I still don't believe it. That's how you cultivate your feelings, right?"

He turned his head and said to Liu Bigui, "Brother, you still said I was delicious. Look, Lin Ziqian walked for four hours in order to eat a bite of peaches in summer. Four!" Make gestures with your left hand.

Lin Ziqian's eyes were bent, and he was not afraid of hitting Liu Mingyang, "I walk every day, and I feel like I will be there in four hours, and I am not tired at all."

"Look at others, and then look at yourself. You stay in the house every day, and now you go out for an hour. Can you persist?" Liu Bigui knocked on his cigarette.

Liu Mingyang stopped talking, he yelled for the last bite of peach as if venting his anger, and wanted to take another one.

"You can't eat too many peaches. If you eat too much, you will have diarrhea." Lin Ziqian grabbed his hand to stop him, and then said to Liu Bigui, "Eat up to two a day, Uncle Liu, watch it."

Liu Bigui lifted the basket, "How old are you, these are for children, two of them are enough for you."

Li Yang, who was stopped, shrugged his mouth, rolled his eyes, and bent his mouth into a smile, he grabbed Liu Bigui's clothes corner, "Brother, if you dislike me staying in the room every day and not moving around, then you will accompany me tomorrow." I'll go up the mountain for a walk! For Taozi, I can also walk for two hours."

"A total of four hours to go back and forth." Lin Ziqian finished speaking expressionlessly, and Liu Mingyang immediately acted like a spoiled child to Liu Bigui with a sullen face, "Brother, I still want to eat!"

Lin Ziqian was a little amused when he walked out of the village chief's house. It must have been a headache for the village chief, who has always been strict and uncompromising, to have such a shameless younger brother!

Going home in the moonlight, the temperature in the mountain air dropped rapidly after the sun went down, so dinner was the richest meal of the day, and my stomach, which had been unconscious for a whole day, also growled at this time.

As soon as he returned to the yard, he saw two rabbits lying beside the pile of firewood. Since Lin Ziqian was told by the village chief last time, Lin Ziqian had been discussing with Baihu for a long time when he came back. In the end, Baihu promised to catch the little rabbit after eating outside for compensation. When the little animals came back, Lin Ziqian was making a big meal for him.

The smell of meat permeated the whole yard, and the white tiger sniffed hard. Today he ate a little wild boar, and he could eat another rabbit!

Xiaobai also whimpered around the kitchen, every time he ate a fruity meal at noon, he was always very hungry at dinner, and when he smelled the smell of meat, his mouth would flood.

Braised rabbit meat in soy sauce, and the rabbit offal was also packed out and fried in a bowl with the garlic sprouts. Watching the grunting sound of the white tiger eating, Lin Ziqian picked up a piece of braised rabbit meat and felt tired after only two bites. Looking at Lin Zijin, he also looked at Baihu and Xiaobai with a look of envy. Daxia still has such a good appetite. Compared with them who can't eat a piece of meat and can only watch them eat, they are so happy!

After dinner, I washed the dishes and wiped the table, collected all kinds of medicinal materials drying in the yard, and carried them back with dustpan and put them away, and half an hour passed.

Then, by lighting a small candle in the room, he taught Lin Zijin to do various martial arts movements. With the circulation of veins, often after two hours, the large pot of water on the stove was enough for the two of them to take a bath.

According to the list of medicines mentioned in the secret book, prepare a barrel of bath water with a strong medicinal smell, and use this bath after daily practice to maximize the efficiency of practice.

After doing this every day before going to bed, they often sleep more soundly and the quality of sleep improves, so that they can wake up at Yin time every morning. Walk up the mountain quickly, and go to the stone wall above the waterfall before the sun comes out, bathe in the baptism of the rising sun with the ancient pine, and absorb the essence of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers.

Then I went home before the sun was strong, watered the fields, and so on, repeating the life of the previous day.

The hot summer not only makes the wheat fruit more fragrant and sweet, but also makes Lin Ziqian and Lin Zijin stronger.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of harvesting the wheat. I prayed day and night, but finally it didn’t rain before harvesting the wheat. However, a new round of war was about to start again— busy farming.

It is necessary to cut all the wheat within two or three days, and then the next drying, threshing, and grinding into flour all need to be completed in a hurry. After harvesting this season’s wheat, spring wheat, corn, rice The second season crops like this will be planted soon.

Everyone is dark and thin, and the village is quiet when it gets dark. Everyone is sleeping, and the next day is full of bustle. No one stays at home at this time, even children. Picking up the leftover ears of wheat in the field, so the school in the village is quiet now, the teacher gave everyone a holiday in advance, and went to school after the busy farming.

Lin Ziqian was ridiculed severely. He inherited his mother's white skin. No matter how much he exposed himself to the sun, his skin would only turn red and peel off. After the treatment, his skin would be even whiter. He frowned angrily and hit Liu Mingyang, " What's wrong with white? It's better than your black being like a piece of carbon!"

"What's wrong with Heitan! It's only so black that you can be masculine!" Liu Mingyang proudly made a gesture to show off his muscles, and then looked at Lin Ziqian with provocative eyes, "You are so white, people who don't know you think it's who? Where's your little lady!" Everyone laughed.

Liu Mingyang then added, "Oh, no, you are whiter than Liu Yangtao in our village! You don't even need to put on powder!"

Lin Ziqian rolled his eyes at him fiercely, buried his head in pushing the stone mill that was taller than him, "You are such a man, you have the ability to grind it yourself!"

Liu Mingyang glanced guiltyly at Liu Bigui's muscular back, which was shirtless and tanned, and said loudly, "My brother's grinding is what I did!"

His elder brother brought him up, and the two shared five acres of land, all of which were planted with wheat. When he was young, Liu Bigui was always too busy to touch the ground. Now he is 16 years old, the same age as Lin Ziqian, Lin Ziqian He is already able to take care of his younger brother to support the family, but he is still taken care of by his elder brother. He is so tired that he can't stand up straight when he helps when cutting the wheat. Every time the millstone is milled, his elder brother does it alone.

Liu Mingyang's house is next to Lin Ziqian's, and this month's relationship has made Lin Ziqian know that Liu Mingyang is a person who wants to save face.

If he hadn't been ridiculed severely, he wouldn't have bickered with him!Lin Ziqian glanced at his white and red arm, the depression in his heart was still hard to dissipate.

"How can I make my skin darker?" Lin Ziqian dug out all kinds of medical classics from home, but only saw how to make people whiter, and there was no prescription for making people darker. He closed the medical book depressed.

"What are you muttering about? How beautiful white is! How many monster races want to be born white like me, but they can't do it!" Baihu gave him a contemptuous look, and licked his paws.

Lin Ziqian glanced at him depressedly, then kicked him lightly, "Hey! How long has it been! Why are you still so young!"

Baihu squinted at him again, and snorted, "What do you know! I swallowed the inner alchemy and snake gall of the green snake after my vital energy was seriously injured, not only to repair but also to break through!"

"Breakthrough?" Lin Ziqian was a little curious, "What will the breakthrough look like?"

Bai Hu shook his head, "I don't know either."

Lin Ziqian gave a cut and continued to read medical books.

"Brother, brother, someone is here." Lin Zijin was practicing calligraphy in the yard, but he heard someone knock on the door.

Lin Ziqian went out to open the door, and saw Liu Fang at the east end of the village. Liu Fang was 62 years old this year, and he was considered an old man in the village.

She now lives alone at the foot of the mountain at the east end of the village. She used to have a happy family when she was young, but unfortunately her husband went to the mountain to hunt and never came back. She raised her son alone, but his son went to the mountain when he was 8 years old. Lost, there is no news of life or death, and she has always been alone.

"Grandma Liu, come in and sit." Lin Ziqian took her to sit on a stool under the pagoda tree in the yard, and washed her another peach.

"Grandma Liu, what's the matter?" Lin Ziqian had never talked to her before, but Liu Fang came to the door suddenly, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.

Liu Fang sighed and returned the peaches to him, "Good boy, my mother-in-law has bad teeth, so she won't eat peaches."

She handed Taozi over and rubbed her eyes with her hands, "My eyes are not working well recently, I want to ask you if there is any medicine I can take."

"Recently, I was harvesting wheat in the summer. My mother-in-law has poor eyesight. I always feel that my eyes are covered with a layer of fog. I cut myself several times. Recently, I want to harvest wheat again, and my eyes are not good. What can I do! Lin Ziqian, Tell your mother-in-law, what kind of medicine do you need to take to feel better!"

As people get older, their eyes will not work well, but there are several possibilities, it may be hyperopia or a layer of cloudy eyes, Lin Ziqian is not too sure.

"Grandma, do your eyes get foggy when you look at things?"

"No, it's only recently. Hey, people are getting old and useless. Harvesting wheat will also exhaust the body."

"Do you usually see things clearly? Far and near things?"

"You can see clearly from a distance! If you are too close, you can't see clearly. Mother-in-law, I always can't get through the needle's eye."

After Lin Ziqian asked, he looked at Liu Fang's eyes carefully, there was no small white thing covering them.

Lin Ziqian also felt that it might be because the old woman was getting old, but she was tired recently, cutting the wheat non-stop, usually a little slower, maybe she was still in the field after dark.

"Do you still cut the wheat after dark?"

"Cutting! The old lady cuts slowly, and she can't stand the hot weather. She always holds up a lantern in the morning and evening to cut."

Come on, I'm absolutely sure, it's dark and I'm tired of my eyes and my body.

"Grandma, you are so tired! I won't prescribe any medicine anymore, it's a waste of money, you just go back and pick a famous formula from the mountain to soak in water to drink, and it will take half a month and a month."

"Really? Go straight up the mountain to pick it? Soak it in water and drink it?" Liu Fang was very happy, so that the medical expenses would not have to be paid.She took out a wrapped handkerchief from her pouch.

Lin Ziqian understood it at a glance, and he quickly declined, "Grandma Liu, what are you doing? I didn't even prescribe you medicine, so how can you ask for money?" Just drink it, but I will go to the east of the village to ask for water from your house in the future, so you must not open the door!"

Liu Fang laughed loudly, "See what you said, mother-in-law, am I such a stingy person?"
