Chapter 750: I'm Not Afraid of Rats!
After leaving Lao Liu's house, Yang Tian and Liang Houde continued to work to treat the two remaining families in the village who could not get out of bed.
These two are relatively old people, and their illnesses are not particularly serious. So it didn't take much time to deal with it.
However, due to the time it took Lao Liu to finish the work completely, it was already night, and it was about nine o'clock and ten o'clock.
According to the biological clock in the village, most of the people have already gone into the quilt to rest at this time.
Yang Tian and the others naturally went to rest.
However, the economic conditions of this village are not much better than the previous two villages, and even a little inferior.
Most of the people in the village live in mud houses, and they all look quite old.
The village chief's house already has an injured Liang Mengyao, and the village chief and the village chief's wife sleep in another room, so they can't live in other people. Therefore, Yang Tian and others were arranged to live in several villagers' homes.
Yang Tian and Du Xiaoke were arranged for a family of three. This family is very warm and friendly to Yang Tian and the others. The three of them squeezed into one room and gave up the other room to Yang Tian and the others to live in.
The heart of the family is very good, but the condition of this room is indeed not flattering.
The dilapidated wooden cabinets, the cracked earthen walls, and the spiders between the beams that are not easy to remove all made Du Xiaoke frown slightly.
The bed is one of those straw beds with straw on wooden planks and a layer of sheets.
This kind of straw bed should not be too unfamiliar to many rural children, and it is quite comfortable to sleep on, breathable and soft.
But I have to say that it looks a little shabby, and even makes people feel messy and dirty.
This appearance is obviously much inferior to the hardboard wooden bed that the two of them slept on yesterday.
Yang Tian looked at Du Xiaoke and knew that this girl must not be able to adapt to this kind of bed, so he said, "Why don't I send you to the village chief's house, and you and Liang Mengyao will sleep together for one night." After all, there are not many families in this village who sleep on wooden beds. ”
When Du Xiaoke heard this, he pouted and said, "Don't want it." Who wants to sleep with her? I'm your little daughter-in-law, so of course I should sleep with you! The bed doesn't matter at all. ”
Hearing this, Yang Tian laughed and deliberately teased: "Oh, yes, Comrade Du Xiaoke, your consciousness is quite high." But aren't you afraid of a little bug or mouse popping out of the bed or something?"
As soon as Du Xiaoke heard this, his body trembled slightly, and goosebumps were about to rise. But she pretended to be calm, pursed her lips with contempt, and said, "Don't underestimate me, I'm not afraid of any bugs and mice!"
That's when it happened
There was a soft "squeak".
The wooden cabinet not far away was lowered, and a small dark gray thing suddenly popped out.
Exactly a little mouse!
Du Xiaoke was suddenly frightened and screamed, and hurriedly threw himself into Yang Tian's arms, a pair of small hands kept crawling towards Yang Tian, as if he wanted to climb to the top of Yang Tian's head and hide.
Seeing this, Yang Tian immediately laughed.
As soon as he said that he was not afraid of mice, the rats came out.
There is no one left.
However, in order to prevent this girl from being too frightened and waking up the whole village, Yang Tian could only smile and pick her up, hold her in his arms, and said, "Okay, okay, don't be afraid, the mice can't reach you." ”
Du Xiaoke shrunk into Yang Tian's arms, and only then did he calm down a little. But her little face was still full of fear, and she didn't even dare to look back at the ground
She rarely looked at Yang Tian weakly and said, "What about that mouse?"
Yang Tian smiled and said deliberately, "It's on the ground directly below you." As soon as I let go, you'll fall on it!"
Du Xiaoke was so frightened that his body trembled again!
But she quickly came back to her senses, pursed her mouth, and glanced at Yang Tian and said, "Liar! How could a mouse be right down there?"
Yang Tian smiled and said, "I lied to you, how can I drop it?" Besides, didn't you just say that you weren't afraid of bugs and mice? Why did you become scared like this as soon as this rat appeared?"
When Du Xiaoke heard this, he was immediately a little embarrassed, his face was slightly red, and he felt a little embarrassed. But she quickly pursed her lips again, and pretended to be calm: "What is this?" I was just startled by the way the thing popped out. Isn't it just a mouse, what's there to be afraid of?"
"Really?" Yang Tian smiled and said, "Then I'll put you down, while the mouse is still gone, and give you a chance to prove yourself, right?"
Saying that, Yang Tian really let go slightly, looking like he was going to put the girl down.
"Don't! Don't!" As soon as Du Xiaoke heard this, he was frightened again, and hurriedly hugged Yang Tian's neck, looking like he would not go down or die. The soft body was tightly attached to Yang Tian's arms, and the touch was wonderful.
Yang Tian smiled, of course he didn't really put her down. He hugged the girl again, and said, "Okay, okay, can't I not let you go down? But how can I sleep like this? You don't want me to sleep standing in your arms, do you? I really can't do this." ”
Du Xiaoke gasped for a while, and his little face showed some palpitations. She thought for a moment and said, "Then that's it, you sleep on the bed, hold me and sleep with me, and I won't go to the bed." If the rat comes out, you can feel it first, right? You're going to kill it as soon as it comes out, and don't let it touch me, you know?"
This girl was so frightened that she couldn't speak a little bit.
Yang Tian smiled bitterly, touched her little head lovingly, and said, "Okay, just do as you say?" But you also have to be careful, don't roll off me, and then fall directly to the ground, but it won't be comfortable." ”
"No, I'm not that stupid!" Du Xiaoke pouted.
The next morning.
In the Elixir Workshop.
A few apprentices have just opened the door and are ready to start today's reception business.
A man suddenly walked in and asked, "Is your master up?" and call him up to see me. ”
Several apprentices couldn't help frowning when they heard this. I thought to myself, who is this, who is so rude to the master, and still looks like a commanding man? Master, how can he see it if he wants to?
But when they turned their heads to see the appearance of the person who had come, their frowning brows were soothed, and their eyes widened slightly.
"Doctor Hu, why are you here?"
