Changgui sighed and nodded: "Actually, I have it all in my heart, at least I haven't forgotten it." At first, there was some resentment, but how could a friend who had played since childhood turn his face and deny it? I must have thought about apologizing first, but it's because of the damn face, and no one wants to admit my mistake, until..."

Changgui looked a little lonely: "Until Brother Sun left, I didn't have time to reconcile with him." When I came to see him off after I deserved it, I was blasted out by Sister Liu. I haven't spoken for too long, and I have forgotten Sister Liu's fiery temperament. Looking back now, I remember that when Brother Sun went on a blind date, I accompanied him, he... He also had me when he got married..."

As he spoke, the thoughts in his mind surged, and he couldn't help but have a slightly sour nose and slightly astringent eyes, so he hurriedly wiped it with his hand and said with a smile: "That, Doctor Ma, Da Yeqing has also found it, the illness of the children in the village should be fine, right?"

Doctor Ma smiled: "Don't worry, you can boil out the medicine this afternoon, and then you will call the sick people in the village to bring their children up, and drink the medicine to diagnose by the way, remember?"

Changgui was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I remember, come to Doctor Ma, I'll send you back." ”

Xu Daoyun followed Sister Liu to the entrance of the village, and saw Uncle Craftsman and a little girl waiting there from a distance. As soon as the little girl saw Sister Liu, she immediately cried, broke away from Uncle Craftsman's hand, trotted up, and cried: "Woo... Mother... I miss you so much. ”

Sister Liu hugged the little girl fondly and comforted: "Okay, okay, don't cry, isn't my mother back, don't be afraid." She nodded to the dyehouse guy who followed her.

The little girl raised her crying face and asked, "Mother, where have you been, Bao'er is so worried about you." ”

"Don't be afraid, come on. Sister Liu took Bao'er's hand and walked to Xu Daoyun and Tie Niu, pointed at them and said with a smile: "You see, it is the mother who was saved by my brother and sister, and I also picked up medicine, which can cure Xiao Bao'er's illness." ”

"Thank you, big brother. ”

"You're welcome. Xu Daoyun grinned and asked, "Sister Liu, where can I take a bath?"

"Oh oh oh, come with me. Sister Liu took Xu Daoyun and the others towards home.

Sister Liu's home is not far away, it is a very large yard, and it is a big family in this small village. There are four houses in the courtyard, one is a storehouse and a bathhouse, one is a room, and the other two are bedrooms, which are very spacious.

After washing up and having dinner, Xu Daoyun and Tie Niu wanted to leave and go outside to find an inn to live in. But Sister Liu didn't say anything, and pulled the two of them to stay, Xu Daoyun had no choice but to stay.

Night is coming soon, the sun and moon alternate, the evening breeze is pleasant, and the insects in the woods are relaxing for the body and mind.

Not long after Xu Daoyun lay down, he entered the inner heaven and earth, and began his inhumane cultivation again, I don't know how long it took, Xu Daoyun opened his eyes, and then pushed open the window, looked at the sky, and found that it was only three moments.

Xu Daoyun woke up Tie Niu beside him, and Tie Niu asked, "Big brother, what's wrong?"

Xu Daoyun said with a smile: "I'm a little hungry, it's not good to trouble Sister Liu, why don't we eat that snake gall, right?"

"Good. ”

A moment later, in the mountains and forests, the two jumped down from a poplar tree, Xu Daoyun looked left and right, nodded and said, "Well, here it is." ”

The surrounding woods are dense, only the moonlight can penetrate overhead, even if the fire is lit here, the chance of being found is not very large, and everyone has gone to sleep, and no one will come out in the middle of the night.

The iron ox threw a pit, picked up dry wood and hay on the ground, cut a few sturdy branches with a short knife to build a shelf, and then took out the fire from the Qiankun bag to cause a bonfire, sighed, took out the snake gall bladder that had been secretly cut at Sister Liu's house just now, passed through it with a short-bladed sharpened stick, and smoked it on the bonfire.

It didn't take long for the snake gall to be roasted tightly by the heat emitted by the bonfire, and the surface began to change color, Xu Daoyun picked up a piece of snake gall and put it under his nose to smell it, nodded and said, "Well, it doesn't smell weird, it should be cooked." ”

He opened his mouth and took a bite, chewed it twice, then spit on the ground, frowning, "Phew, what's it, why is it so unpalatable?"

This smell is not only fishy, but also smelly, and there is a strange smell, the meat that looks firm, after a bite will press out the juice, it is extremely sour and astringent, difficult to swallow.

Tie Niu smiled and said, "Big brother, don't waste it, this snake gall is rare." Saying that, he opened his mouth and ate a large piece of snake gall bladder, which was a demonstration.

Xu Daoyun swallowed his saliva, gritted his teeth, and stuffed the snake gall bladder that was missing a corner in his hand into his mouth, chewed it a few times, closed his eyes, and swallowed it into his stomach. After eating the snake gall bladder, the stomach began to exude an unusual warmth, and the feeling became hotter and hotter, gradually spreading to the limbs, just like being by the fire, very comfortable.

Seeing this miraculous effect, Xu Daoyun didn't care whether this snake gall was delicious or unpalatable, as long as it was something that was good for cultivation, as long as it didn't kill him, he could eat anything. So he grabbed two wooden sticks with snake gall in each hand, one on the left and one on the right, and a few pounds of snake gall were put into his stomach in a short time.

Touching his stomach and burping, he only felt the bitterness in his mouth, hurriedly poured in a mouthful of peach blossom brew, and then threw the gourd to Tie Niu, saying, "Go back." ”

It was not early, Xu Daoyun was really a little sleepy, and he also wanted to take advantage of the snake gall bladder effect to go back to cultivation quickly and not waste time.

Xu Daoyun kicked out the bonfire, stepped on it several times, and then pulled some soil on it. Recently, the sun is shining, and there are many dead branches and leaves in the forest, if you don't extinguish it, you are afraid that a gust of wind can cause a fire, and although you can walk away and live happily, it will suffer the people who live here and the animals and beasts on the mountain.

......

Early in the morning of the second day, Xu Daoyun pushed open the window, and the bright sun shone in obliquely from the east window, and the two walked into the courtyard, and sure enough, they saw that Sister Liu had already taken Xiao Bao'er to sit at the dinner table and wait, and the dyeing workshop man Uncle Zizi was also there.

Sister Liu was feeding Xiao Bao'er spoonful by spoonful, and when she saw Xu Daoyun and the others coming, she immediately hugged Bao'er to Uncle Craftsman, got up and greeted: "Wake up, come on, sit down and eat." ”

Xu Daoyun sat down, and there was a knock on the door of the courtyard, and a man's voice shouted outside: "Sister-in-law Liu, is Sister-in-law Liu at home, open the door quickly!"

Sister Liu heard who it was, she hurriedly went over to open the courtyard door, and saw Changgui holding a small medicine jar in her hand, handed it to her excitedly, and said with a smile: "Sister Liu, this is the medicine boiled by Dr. Ma, I went over early this morning, and I brought it back to you by the way, so you don't have to run more, take it quickly." ”

"Ah, great, great. Sister Liu almost cried with joy when she saw the small medicine altar in Changgui's hand, she carefully held the warm medicine altar in her hand, and said gratefully: "Changgui, please run away." ”

"Hey, what Sister-in-law Liu said, it's just a matter of effort. Changgui said seriously: "Today, I led the men in the village who were sick and sick to get medicine from Dr. Ma. I think that Dr. Ma must have been eager to save people's hearts, stayed up all night, and developed the antidote overnight, and this time it was really thanks to Dr. Ma's great help. ”

"So, let's all sum it up, Dr. Ma is really hard work this time, he has suffered a lot of age, his health is not good, and he has to use his old life to boil medicine, and he is still busy living. So, after the children were cured, they decided to get together and build a small thatched cottage for Dr. Ma. Doctor Ma is also the only doctor here, and people in the village go to him wherever they are sick, so let's build a medicine hall for him together, and it will be convenient for us ourselves. ”

Sister Liu agreed: "Well, what Brother Changgui said is reasonable, this time it is indeed thanks to Dr. Ma, I also participated in the construction of the medicine hall, but I can't treat others badly." ”

"Okay, I'll let you know when the time comes. Changgui agreed with a smile, and then saw Xu Daoyun and Tie Niu at the dining table in the main hall, waved his hand and smiled: "Two adults, are you still used to eating and living here in Sister-in-law Liu?"

Xu Daoyun held his chopsticks and waved his hand to agree: "Habit, Sister Liu is very good here, there is food and drink, and the bed is also a high bed and soft pillow." ”

Changgui invited: "Do you want to think about it, go to Changgui's place to live, I also have food and drink, high bed and soft pillows." ”

"Go!" Sister Liu stopped him, pushed Changgui, and actually started to drive people away: "Let's go, I'm sorry for you to deliver the medicine, we still have to eat, you should go back quickly." ”

"Hey, sister-in-law Liu, don't push, why are you ......?"

Bang!

The door of the courtyard was closed by the grumpy Sister Liu without hesitation, Changgui was ruthlessly turned away, he looked at the tightly locked courtyard door, shook his head with a wry smile, and regretted that he should not "dig the foot of the wall" in front of Sister Liu.

Xu Daoyun couldn't help but smile and asked, "Uncle Jiangzi, did Sister Liu and Brother Changgui have any old grudges before?"

Uncle Craftsman said: "Speaking of our boss lady and Changgui's family, I don't actually complain about the two families, I can only say that our boss lady is a bitter person." It's too early to talk about this, when the village chief of our village was not the current person, we didn't live in this pimple, and the proprietress was not the person of this pimple. Speaking of this, I can't help but talk about my boss, who said that their family has been responsible for taking care of the forests in this place for generations, and it is also a big family. My lady was a dyeing shop, and I was about the same age as the lady at the time, but I was already a good hand at the dyeing workshop. When my boss married my boss, I also followed, but at first we all lived in the village, and then something happened and we moved here. ”

Xu Daoyun was curious: "What's the matter?"

The honest and honest craftsman uncle scooped a spoonful of warm rice for Bao'er to eat, and recalled: "At that time, everyone was poor, and those who had food at a meal were considered to be big households. I also forgot what the name of the village chief was at that time, anyway, he came up with an idea to cut down trees to make money, and the ancestral carpenter skills of Brother Changgui's family, so the heavy responsibility of cutting trees to make money fell on the head of the Li family. It's nothing if I didn't come, but our boss's family has always lived by protecting the woods, cutting down trees, isn't that cutting off our boss's head. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed: "But the arm can't twist the thigh, the village chief spoke, whoever dares to stop in the whole village will force down a large number of trees outside the village." Since the fight, my boss has been ill, and finally moved here, but just two days after coming, I... My boss can't do it. As soon as the boss left, the guys in the family walked and ran, leaving me and the boss's wife, who was just pregnant with Bao'er at that time, but relying on the craftsmanship of dyed cloth, you see, I was stunned to earn back such a big family business. Those people have no conscience, but I'm not that kind of person, the boss lady is good to me, as good as my mother, these are my family, I can't go anywhere. ”

"The medicine is good, the medicine is good!" After Sister Liu drove Changgui away, she hurriedly ran over with the medicine jar, opened the lid and sniffed it, frowned and said: "I cry bitterly when I smell this medicine, how can Xiao Bao'er drink it?"

She rolled her eyes, grabbed a few small red and green sugar pills from her pocket and threw them in the jar, and said with a smile: "Hey... This sugar pill is dried with licorice when I usually have nothing to do, and I was going to eat it as a snack, but it was sweet. This thing is troublesome, I only made a few pills, I knew that this medicine was so bitter, so I got a few more. ”

Sister Liu took a sip of the black medicinal soup and nodded, "Well, it's not hot, and it's not so bitter." Come, Xiaobao, drink the medicine, and you will be well after drinking. ”

She thought that it would take a lot of effort to trick Bao'er into drinking the medicine, because it was like this in the past, every time she suffered from a cold or other minor illness, she grabbed the boiled medicine from Dr. Ma, Bao'er never drank it, said that she didn't drink anything, and she had to finally move the whip to drink while crying, and crying bitter while drinking.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Bao'er didn't say anything this time, held the medicine jar, raised her little head and drank it cleanly, stuck out her tongue, and chirped: "This medicine is a little sweet, but it's still bitter, bitter!"

She then smiled and said, "I don't feel bitter now, but I feel sweet, and my face is no longer itchy." A few days ago, the village chief asked me to go to his house to eat delicious food, and I saw an uncle who was about the same age as Uncle Craftsman, but he was also very good, and he dyed cloth very quickly, and he was very good to me. But mother, Bao'er doesn't like to dye cloth, Bao'er wants to go to the apprenticeship to learn spells, like the two big brothers, use spells to save people, and make a lot of medicine that is not bitter!"

Xiao Bao'er wiped her tears, "I listened to my mother's parents, my father didn't want Xiao Bao'er because he had an incurable disease, and when I grow up in the future, I must help others like big brothers and sisters." ”

After listening to Xiao Bao'er's words, Sister Liu only felt like a knife, but she was also very relieved, for decades she had been carrying the family business alone, no matter how hard and tired she was, Sister Liu, who would not frown, shed tears for the first time because of her daughter's sensibility, because Xiao Baoer's sensibility made her feel distressed as a mother.

She hugged the smirking Bao'er and said, "Little Bao'er is good, Xiao Bao'er is the most obedient, my mother believes in you, I will definitely learn spells in the future, and my mother will also help you, so that you can help others like your big brothers, okay?"
