As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw my brother Chen Fu trotting over:

"Yan'er, you hurry up and go back with me, my mother is sick. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lu Yan jumped off the ox cart and hurried home, and the voice of the fat aunt came from far behind:

"Yan girl, I'll send you your things. Don't worry!"

When she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Lu Yan paused, if it weren't for her mother, she wouldn't be willing to take a step forward.

The fourth uncle looked at the door, and Mu Na's face was full of anxiety.

Seeing Lu Yan, he urged her to go in.

As the saying goes, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. Because when the Qi family got married, Lu Yan was more than a year old, and Sizhu was only ten years old.

Du's mind is not on his children, Sizhu is silent, and the children in the village are not close to him.

At that time, Sizhu often watched Lu Yan jumping around on Qi's legs with envy.

Qi saw that the child was always alone, so he often let Lu Yan and Sizhu play. Let the gray youth of the four pillars have a touch of color.

Therefore, Qi's illness, Sizhu is also anxious. But my mother is in charge of finances, and she refuses to pay to call a doctor.

I don't know why, I just thought, maybe Lu Yan has a way. Only then did he call Chen Fu and Lu Yan.

Lu Yan walked into her mother's room and saw her mother lying on the bed, her eyes closed, her brows tightly locked, and sounds came out of her mouth from time to time.

There was a back figure in front of the bed, and he didn't bother to look at it, so he directly picked up his mother's wrist and took the pulse.

The man next to the bed saw Lu Yan's actions, his chapped mouth opened, and finally closed it again.

Her hands were very hot, and as soon as she touched her forehead, Lu Yan's eyes slashed across the face of the man in front of the bed like a knife.

Liver stagnation, lack of qi and blood, and high fever caused by cold.

"Yan'er, Yan'er, my Yan'er......... , I beg you, let my Yan'er go........."

Qi was burned in a daze, and muttered unconsciously.

Lu Yan clenched her fists, and her teeth squeaked. The chest rises and falls violently.

kept taking deep breaths, constantly hinting to himself, don't get angry, and give your mother a fever first.

After calming down, he shouted in the direction of the door:

"Fourth uncle, help me find some soju, Chen Fu, boil a pot of boiling water. ”

"You have a milk tube of soju at home, I'll go to Chen Erniu's house to borrow some. ”

The man in the room said flatteringly.

In fact, at first sight, Lu Yan recognized this man as the original stepfather:

Sallow skin, deep sunken eye sockets, appear higher cheekbones. The back is slight, and the eyes are not energetic.

The only difference from what I remember is that I didn't have a dry tobacco pouch in my mouth.

It is estimated that it was because my mother was sick, so I didn't smoke it.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan's anger in her heart eased slightly.

It didn't take long for the shochu to come and the boiling water to boil.

Clear the house of idle people, etc. Warm the water and pour in an appropriate amount of shochu.

Strip off your mother's tunics.

Wet with a cotton cloth for washing your face and wring it out half-dry.

Wipe repeatedly on the mother's forehead, back of the ears, armpits, back, inner thighs, palms, and soles of the feet.

After more than half an hour of busy work, the flushing caused by the high temperature on his face has faded.

Probed with her hand, it was normal, and she put her cheek against her forehead, which was slightly higher than her normal body temperature, and Lu Yan finally put her mind at ease.

There is no thermometer, so the most primitive method can only be used to measure body temperature.

Hearing the sound of her mother's gentle breathing, Lu Yan moved the quilt over and covered it directly, then walked out of the room lightly, and gently closed the door casually.

"The fever has subsided, after half an hour, shred the ginger, boil a bowl of thick ginger water, give my mother to drink while it is hot, cover the quilt, even cover the head, and sweat. ”

The three men listened attentively.

Lu Yan learned what happened:

Qi heard about the wolf, and went to ask Du again, but Du always had only one sentence:

It is impossible for Lu Yan to come back, and if the Qi family wants to take care of Lu Yan, they don't have to come back.

Du Shi thought that Qi's was too noisy, so she asked her not to delay her work. Weiss still knelt in the courtyard and couldn't get up.

Du Shi was furious, went back to the house, picked up a basin of washing water, and poured it on Qi's body.

Qi's body was very weak when he was in a coma last time, and coupled with Lu Yan's matter, he never rested well. I fell ill at once.

"If my mother has anything to do, you don't protect her, I'll protect her. ”

Lu Yan didn't call anyone either, and after saying this to her stepfather, she turned around and left.

Lu Yan was worried that if she didn't leave, she couldn't help but break into her grandmother's house and beat her a few times, and the one who didn't think of herself as a granddaughter didn't see her.

But it's just a matter of thinking about it, and in this day and age, this kind of behavior can be regarded as shocking.

Because of my mother's business, the excitement of rushing to the market is completely gone.

Thinking about the things to add, Lu Yan hurried back to the mill.

Seeing the things in the room that were arranged in different categories, Lu Yan's frowning brows stretched slightly.

Putting away her depressed mood, Lu Yan immediately threw herself into the unfinished toilet project in the morning.

In the morning, only the outside of the toilet was built, and there was still a weedy field inside.

A pit with a diameter of about 15 centimeters and a depth of about 10 centimeters was dug in the middle and back, narrow at the bottom and wide at the top.

In the pit, large pottery items with gaps sent by the grocery store keeper were placed, and the gaps were filled with earth.

A flat stone is placed on the left and right sides of the pottery.

A modern-day urinal is finished.

Immediately near the bottom of the pit near the gap in the urinal, a ditch was dug that extended to the outside of the shed, and at the end of the ditch, about ten meters away from the shed, a place was drawn to make a manure pit.

The bottom of the ditch and the sides of the ditch were glued with clay, compacted, covered with firewood, and burned with fire for nearly half an hour.

It's time to burn the fire and go dig the manure pit.

After digging the manure pit, an hour has passed.

When he was a soldier in his previous life, he did a lot of digging trenches, so there was no technical problem for Lu Yan. But the physical strength cannot be compared with the previous life.

The fire in the ditch has been extinguished. Clearing the ashes aside, the previously soft dirt had become as hard as stone.

Stones are laid horizontally above the ditch, large gaps are filled with small stones, and small gaps are glued with clay.

As before, it is not as tight as clay pottery, but it ensures that there is no air leakage. It's barely a sewer.

On the right hand side of the urinal, a square pit slightly larger than the urinal but about 30 cm deep was dug as a water storage tank.

At a depth of 5 cm from the ground, an aqueduct was dug and connected directly to the aqueduct outside the house.

I cut a bamboo about 5 meters long from the mountain, about the size of a forearm.

Cut vertically from one-third of the way, the cross-section of the bamboo is hollowed out. A simple aqueduct is done.

The aqueduct is connected to the water from the higher mountains at one end, and the other end passes through the outer shed and into the rectangular pit.

The water flows in continuously, and if the reservoir exceeds 25 cm, it is automatically discharged from the aqueduct.

A slate was also placed in the cistern, and a notched clay bowl was placed on top of the slab to hold water.

Lu Yan originally planned to drain the water directly into the urinal, but after thinking about it, the dung pit must not overflow, so she gave up.

Lu Yan looked inside and out a few times, and there was nothing to improve.

So he walked towards the house, picked up three buns, and nibbled on them.

I was so hungry that I originally bought it back for my mother, brother and fourth uncle.

The three buns were only half-filled.

Lu Yan looked at the sky, it was not early, took the remaining three buns, a bag of snacks, a bag of candy, and a bag of rice (Aunt Gui Xiu sent the uneaten ones, and then add a little bit of the newly bought rice to it), and walked to Aunt Gui Xiu's house.

As for those bowls, pots, and the like, I'll send them tomorrow.

"Yan girl, what's wrong? I just went to see your mother, and she's all right. ”

Gui Xiu looked worried when she saw Lu Yan.

Lu Yan explained her intentions, and Gui Xiufang put her mind at ease.

Seeing the things Lu Yan brought, buns, candy, rice, Gui Xiu didn't accept it.

"Auntie, this is bought with the money from selling wolf meat. Totally a windfall. I heard the old man say that windfall cannot be monopolized, but must be dispersed, and it will be smooth and profitable in the future. ”

"Besides, if you don't accept it, if you need your aunt's help in the future, I won't dare to speak. ”

Gui Xiu couldn't resist Lu Yan's set of words in the end, and the children stared at the candy, so they reluctantly accepted it.

As for the bag of dim sum, Lu Yan kept it and didn't take it out

Not long after coming out of Aunt Gui Xiu's, it was dark.

At this time, almost all the people in the village went home.

When I learned that my mother was well, I didn't go over again.

Lu Yan took the remaining box of snacks and walked towards Chen Dezhong's house.

The one who opened the door was Lizheng's daughter-in-law, Grandma Zhang.

"Hello grandma!"

Lu Yan unfolded a smile that she thought was very well-behaved.

As he spoke, he handed over the snacks,

"Uncle Chen Cai brought me a lot of things in an ox cart today, and I didn't even catch up with the water to take a sip. I heard that it is good to plant dim sum, so I will compensate my uncle. ”

As soon as she heard that this was the case, Grandma Zhang opened the half-hidden door, took Lu Yan's hand, and said affectionately:

"Erya has grown up and is sensible. I've heard a little bit about you. How can the family worry overnight, take a step back, isn't this how life lives. ”

"Grandma is right, it's just that I look like this, and I really don't like it. When I look in the mirror and see myself, I am sometimes frightened. All I can do now is not to hang around in front of her, so that I can make her angry, and the sin is even greater. ”

Lu Yan didn't defend either, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Hey!" Grandma Zhang sighed and said helplessly: "Your grandmother has been strong for a lifetime, and her heart is not bad." ”

Grandma Zhang asked Lu Yan to come into the house and sit for a while before leaving. Originally, it was a kind word.

Lu Yan shirked and said that she didn't need to, she wanted to hurry home. But then he said that he was thirsty, drank his saliva and left.

Grandma Zhang did not doubt him and led Lu Yan into the house.

"Hello Grandpa Chen. ”

As soon as Lu Yan found Lizheng, she immediately called sweetly.

"Erya, it's the first time I've come to Grandpa's place, come and sit. ”

Li Zheng said while moving the stool:

"It's hard for a clean official to decide family affairs, I've heard about your matter, there will always be a solution. ”

is worthy of being a righteous person for decades, and he speaks without leaking, and before he can speak, he is all blocked.

"Grandpa Lizheng, I originally had to ask for your consent to move to the mill, although the mill is abandoned, it is still a village thing. But at that time, I couldn't care about anything. ”

Lu Yan took a sip of water and continued:

"Look, can you lend it to me first, and after a while, when I have saved enough money, can you sell it to me. ”

Li Zheng was stunned, thinking that Lu Yan would let him come forward and coordinate with Du Shi to let Lu Yan come back. I didn't think it was a mill.

"As a sign of my determination, I will pay a deposit. You always estimate the price, and I'll try to save money. ”

"It was originally abandoned, and there was about an acre of mill and vacant land, and if it were all put down, it would cost one or two pieces of silver. ”

Li Zheng said while calculating in his heart.

"You bad old man, being a second girl is wronged, that piece of land, what is not good to plant, you have to buy it to live, so far, you can still meet a wolf, who will buy it. 500 Wen is breaking the sky. ”

Before Lu Yan could speak, Grandma Zhang couldn't help but interject.

Li Zheng's face was instantly unsightly.

Lu Yan hurried to round the field:

"What Grandpa Li Zheng said is the current market, one or two pieces of silver is indeed fair, and what Grandma Zhang said is also reasonable. You see, my situation is really difficult, can you take care of it, sell me 600 Wen, and promise to pay it off within a year. ”

Lu Yan said as she handed over the 30 texts respectfully.

Li Zheng shook his head while laughing:

"You girl! You mouth, you're more clever than those of us who have lived dozens of years longer. ”

"Grandpa Chen, I turned out to be ignorant, and I caused you a lot of trouble. In the future, I will live a good life and be filial to my mother. If you don't do well in the future, you should always mention it. ”

After these words, Li Zheng should be even happier.

When she got home, Lu Yan didn't want to cook, so after scrubbing her body and washing, she decided to just take a good rest.

Before going to bed, thinking about my mother's body, I decided to go to Tiger Mountain tomorrow.
