There is a school in the county, which only charges [-] yuan a month for repairs, which is cheap, and those in several villages who have spare money will send their brothers and sons to study.

But this does not include the Huo family.

The family was too poor, and Huo Duan had never been to school for a day when he was 19 years old, so how could he be able to read?

More and more details are advancing layer by layer in Gu Fengyan's mind, interlocking... He always feels that Huo Duan is not stupid, as if he is pretending to be stupid!

Just as he was about to question him carefully, he saw that Huo Duan had already entered the shop with a bag of wheat.

Gu Fengyan was afraid that something would go wrong, and he would suffer a disadvantage, so he hurriedly followed.

After haggling with the shopkeeper for a long time, I finally finished changing the wheat, and headed back in time for the sunset, and at the entrance of the village I still had to fetch Huo Adie's medicine.

Back home, Gu Fengyan was tired and hungry, and he had long forgotten the doubts in his mind.

……

The next day was a cloudy day, with thick gray rain clouds piling up on the horizon.

It looks like the first spring rain is about to fall.

Huo's father and son used to get up early. Father Huo swept the yard with a broom made of thin bamboo strips. Huo Duan sat on the ridge of the yard and ate the morning food - wheat mush mixed with wild vegetables.

Gu Fengyan was exhausted yesterday, and he rubbed his eyes when he heard the sound of sweeping the floor outside the window.

Father Huo was sweeping the floor, while making arrangements for Huo Duan, "It's going to rain this day, you should finish eating quickly and plant the ground. Only when it is fully watered will there be a good harvest. The two people at the door One piece of corn, tender corn pancakes are easy to pick in summer, give Brother Yan a taste..."

"The land by the river ditch is close to the water, so the wheat is planted, and the seeds are in the main room... I told you Brother Dashan yesterday, I guess I will come to help after dinner."

Huo Duan was a man who had never worked. After walking around the county, his whole body seemed to be falling apart. Besides, he couldn't eat or sleep well, so he just nodded lazily.

Not happy to see him like this, Father Huo frowned and started to scold him, "You child——"

"Father." Gu Fengyan spoke in a timely manner.

"Brother Yan, why don't you sleep more, it's still early." Seeing him, Father Huo smiled, "It's okay to wake up, the kitchen is cooking rice porridge for you, mixed with yesterday's pheasant soup , wash your face and go eat."

Huo Duan looked at his black and green bowl of rice and fell silent.

Gu Fengyan smiled, "I'm not hungry yet, let Erdan brother eat the porridge, he's not going to plant spring, it's a labor-intensive thing, just eat more."

Huo Duan didn't say anything, he finished the "rice" in the bowl in two or three bites, and went to the main room to get the seeds.

The rice porridge in the pot did not move.

He doesn't have a penchant for grabbing food from weak chickens, and Gu Fengyan is tired after walking two steps, so he should eat something that is slightly better.

……

Gu Fengyan didn't talk to Huo Duan, feeling a little disappointed, washed his face in a hurry and filled half of the rice porridge and ate it.

Ye Shan helped Chunzhong and naturally wanted to stay for dinner.

Gu Fengyan took the initiative to take over the task of cooking, and Father Huo helped him.

The small river prawns in the basin have already spit out the mud, and the bowl is full of fried wild onions, and the remaining half of the pheasant is also stewed out.

The family has no way to get money for the time being, so food needs to be saved. Gu Fengyan boiled a pot of wheat paste without adding wild vegetables, but only put some salt when it came out of the pot, and it would be considered as fried river shrimp and stewed pheasant A good meal.

There was thunder rumbling outside the window, and it was about to rain. Father Huo limped into the house with a bundle of dry wood, and said, "The rain will come when it comes, and it will come while it is still coming." No, I need to get some dry firewood into the house... I don’t know if Erdan and the others have planted the wheat.”

"Father, let me come." Gu Fengyan covered the vegetables and warmed them on the stove, wiped his hands and picked up the firewood held by Father Huo, "Your legs hurt when it rains, so take a rest."

Father Huo glanced at the neatly packed chopping board and stove, and said with a satisfied smile:

"You can rest when the meal is ready. I have an old problem. I have to move to get over the soreness. Don't rob me."

"Yes." Gu Fengyan nodded, and went to see if there was anything in the yard that needed to be collected and put away.

The black clouds in the sky all ran to the top of the mountain and piled up a thick layer. The branches of the peach trees in the yard were crackling, and people on the road across the river rushed home with baskets on their backs.

Huo Duan didn't seem to have any protection from the rain.

Gu Fengyan thought to himself, happened to see two coir raincoats and straw hats hanging on the door of the hall, so he took them to Huo Duan and the others.

The several fields under the ridge have been planted with corn according to Huo Adie's instructions, and they will sprout after the rain. Huo Duan and the others are planting wheat in the ditch, which is still a little way away.

As a result, as soon as Gu Fengyan reached the river ditch, it began to rain on the side of the mountain.

"Brother Dashan." Ye Shan and Huo Duan were collecting things in the rain, when Gu Fengyan went down to the ridge of the field and called for someone.

Ye Shan didn't have a good impression of this brother-in-law, so he glanced at him and gave a faint "hmm".

Huo Duan, on the other hand, was surprised, "Why are you here?"

By the way, he gave a hand to hold the person firmly... It wasn't that he wanted to help, but that when it rained and the mud was slippery, he was the one who got hurt when he fell and was scolded.

But having said that, why is this person suddenly so kind? In the past, even if he died outside, he might not have any reaction.

It's a surprise today that they were so kind as to give them rain gear.

Gu Fengyan handed a coir raincoat to Ye Shan, "The meal is ready, I saw that it was going to rain, so I wanted to send you a raincoat."

"I'm afraid the rain is still under control. Erdan, you take him back first, and leave the basket for me. If you get sick in the cold spring rain, uncle should scold you again..." Ye Shan is a farmer, and when he looks up, he will Know what the weather is like.

Huo Duan thought about it, and felt that what his brother said was right, so he jumped onto the ridge of the field first, and pulled Gu Fengyan up, "Pay attention to your feet, don't fall, or Dad will definitely scold me."

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Gu Fengyan had never walked the mountain road a few times, and his feet kept slipping.

"Walking this way until it gets dark," Huo Duan put on the straw hat and coir raincoat for him, knelt down and said, "Come up, I'll carry you on my back."

Gu Fengyan is not used to being in close contact with others, "No, I'll go by myself."

"Come up. When I was a child, my father often carried me on the back." Huo Duan looked at him involuntarily.

Most of the brothers in this world are weak and difficult to support. If they get gonorrhea, it will only make the poor family worse... He is also not happy to see Father Huo's black face.

Gu Fengyan thought for a while, whatever.

Obediently lay on Huo Duan's back, "Thank you."

Huo Duan wobbled home with someone on his back... This was the first time he carried someone on his back.

Fortunately, the original owner is in good health.

The two didn't talk much, Gu Fengyan heard Huo Duan's slightly heavy breathing, and suddenly felt that this fool was quite reliable.

He is a very nice person, even though the original owner has been tormenting him secretly, he doesn't hold any grudges at all.

After dinner, Hayama hurried home.

The rain didn't stop at night, and there were no entertainment activities and whenever it rained, Father Huo took the medicine and took a rest early.

It has to be said that my brother's body is really weak, Gu Fengyan was just drenched in the rain, and now he feels very cold and uncomfortable.

"Father said it was raining and cold at night, so he asked me to bring you a quilt." Gu Fengyan was folding the wet clothes he had changed, planning to wash them when the weather was over, Huo Duan walked in with a quilt in his arms and said .

After washing, Huo Duan took off his shoes and only wore a coarse coat, as if he was going to sleep.

Huo's house is small, apart from the kitchen and main room, there are only two bedrooms, one is where Father Huo is sleeping, and the other is for the couple.

After the original owner did not allow Huo Duan to enter the house, he has been sleeping in the thatched shed next to the kitchen where sundries are piled up. The weather is fine, but when it rains, it rains heavily outside and light rain in the house.

Seeing Huo Duanzai carefully spread the quilt for him, Gu Fengyan thought, gritted his teeth, "Why don't you move to the house to sleep tonight."

Huo Duan turned around, "But...you didn't allow me to come in before."

The original owner didn't like Huo Duan, and he was a brother. He was always worried that Huo Duan would do something beyond the distance, so he kicked him out.

Gu Fengyan moved his pillow into the bed, "I have seen the room you live in, it is so leaky that you can't sleep, you can move in."

During the past few days together, he felt that Huo Duan would not be that kind of person.

Gu Fengyan went to bed first, took up the position inside against the wall, leaving more than half of the space outside, "Go to bed early."

Huo Duan stood for a while, and Monk Zhang Er was puzzled.He always felt that Gu Fengyan didn't look like "Gu Fengyan" anymore, and he always did some things against common sense, as if he was taken away.

Could it be that this person came up with some tricks to torment others?

But what Gu Fengyan said is right, that thatched hut is no way to live in now, he can bear it when the weather is fine, but when it rains, he can't do it at all.

Although this room is not very strong, it can at least provide shelter from the wind and rain.

Soon, Huo Duan was defeated, took a pillow and carefully lay down next to Gu Fengyan.

There are cheap but not the bastard!

Anyway, he let himself sleep in the house...

Huo Duan slept well that night, while Gu Fengyan slept poorly that night.

His head was as heavy as when he woke up before, and his eyelids were also heavy, but sleepiness was like thin ice on a lake in spring, extremely fragile.

The whole body is hot and cold, and the nose is not breathing well.

Gu Fengyan knew what was going on - he had a fever.

Because it rained yesterday.

The sky shone on his eyelids, someone's chickens on the other side of the river were crowing, Father Huo's cough came from the main room...

Huo Duan got up beside him, and seemed to feel that something was wrong with him. He tried the temperature of his forehead with his palm, "It's so hot, do you have a fever?!"

Gu Fengyan was so burnt that he could only see a shadow, "I want to drink water..."

He said "It's cold" again.

Huo Duan quickly wrapped the quilt around him, and went out to pour water in a panic.

Father Huo heard the movement, and followed him in. Looking at Gu Fengyan's flushed face, he scolded Huo Duan anxiously, "You lived well there, what are you doing here again?!" It's inconvenient for Father Huo to intervene too much in the affairs of the time, so he just gouges Huo Duan a few times and sighs repeatedly.

Gu Fengyan could hear the words clearly, and wanted to comfort Father Huo, but he didn't even have the strength to raise his eyelids, and shouted "hot" angrily.

Huo Duan thought to himself, he is really unlucky.

Hastily pulled back the quilt a little bit, and half held the person in his arms to feed him.

"Father, I'll go to the entrance of the village and invite Dr. Liang here." After taking a few sips of water, Huo Duan seemed to be holding a cooked potato in his arms, and Huo Duan felt a little pity.

He had a fever to bring himself rain gear.

Father Huo sighed, "Oh! Doctor Liang went back to her mother's house with Fulang yesterday, and I'm afraid he won't be back until afternoon... I need to ask the doctor to go to the county."

Gu Fengyan listened...he is not going to die again, is he?

"What can I do..." Huo Duan put down Gu Fengyan and covered the quilt, "Why don't I go to the county!"

Father Huo's brows could pinch a fly to death, "There's no time! Not to mention the distance to the county, it's raining this time, the oxen and carts are impassable, and the medicinal materials are scarce and expensive, so we won't be able to get them together soon."

"Brother Yan had a fever medicine last time. I'll fry it for him. You look at the person and wipe it with cold water. Don't look at the wind. The rest is up to fate."

Huo Duan immediately went out to fetch water with a wooden basin, but he was also very anxious... The last time this man had a fever was cured by the special medicine he got for free from the system.

There is no guarantee that Huo Adie's medicine will work or not.

You can't gamble with your life, right?

Best of all, get some fever-reducing medicine.

But the system may not give it to him.

Thinking about it, Huo Duan called the system that he had almost forgotten, "System, can you give me some more antipyretics from last time? It's life-saving."

drop--

"No." The system replied coldly with three words, without further explanation.

Huo Duanshen said that there will be no free lunch tomorrow, so he was not angry, but just chuckled, "You don't want to complete the task? Don't you want to have performance? Your system is not so kind as to provide people with free time travel opportunities."

"Uh..." There was a deathly silence in the system.

Huo Duan continued: "I can choose whether to accept your mission or not. Anyway, I can live well here, but if I can get what I want... then that's not necessarily the case."

After all, Huo Duan is still a businessman, and he understands the mind of a businessman best - the exchange of interests.

"Uh..." After a while, the system finally spoke again, "The medicine has been delivered, and the task has been sent to your inbox, please get it as soon as possible."

There was an extra box of medicine in Huo Duan's hand out of thin air, and the negotiation was successful.

Yet he sold himself.

……

Gu Fengyan lay down in a daze, so uncomfortable that he was dying.

Sure enough, in this era, colds and fevers are serious illnesses that can kill people.

Medical level is too backward.

Huo Duan came back and put a wet veil on his forehead.

Gu Fengyan felt a little more comfortable, and could hear Huo Duan rambling on.

"I sold myself to save you..." Huo Duan took out a capsule from the box, took the water in the bowl, and hugged Gu Fengyan, "What is this called, selling yourself to bury your husband? No, It should be selling yourself to save your husband."

Gu Fengyan wanted to laugh again, but also felt strange.

what is he doingWhat did he do?

A capsule was stuffed into his mouth, and Huo Duan fed him a sip of water. Seeing his instinctive resistance, he quickly said:

"Don't vomit, this is a fever-reducing medicine, take it and you'll be fine."

Medicine for fever...capsules.

Fever-reducing capsules?

Where did Huo Duan get such a thing?

Are there antipyretic capsules in ancient times?

Countless questions lingered in Gu Fengyan's mind.As the medicine slipped down the throat, Gu Fengyan suddenly realized and came up with an unbelievable answer.

……

The medicine given to him by Huo Duan was very effective. On the second day, Gu Fengyan was so relaxed that he was able to get up.

But Father Huo didn't tell him to get out of bed, and cooked some white rice porridge for Huo Duan to feed him.

Huo Duan obediently took on this hard job, without daring to complain at all.The porridge was fed spoon by spoon, and Gu Fengyan ate spoon by spoon, slowly.

When he finished eating, Huo Duan went out with an empty bowl.Gu Fengyan struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally tentatively asked, "What's the price of the shirt?"

Huo Duan turned around abruptly, eyes full of shock, and said the correct answer verbatim, "Nine pounds and fifteen pence!"
