Chapter II

Pour the rice into a pot and boil over a high heat, and when it boils, remove some of the firewood from the stove and simmer slowly.

Su Yan looked up and saw a few strips of bacon hanging under the eaves outside the stove room, carefully cut off a piece of minced meat with a knife, lifted the lid of the pot, the rice in the pot had been opened, and the crystal was shining brightly, and the minced bacon was poured into the pot.

After a while, the aroma of rice mixed with the smell of meat floated into the mouth and nose, hooking people to be hungry, seeing that the meat porridge was about to be ready, Su Yan cut a small green vegetable and sprinkled it in, leaned over and glanced at the stove, the firewood was about to burn to the end, Su Yan did not rush to get up the pot, but covered the pot and let the porridge simmer by itself, so that the meat porridge came out more fragrant.

Su Yan turned around and walked out of the stove room, and as soon as she entered the east room, she saw the eyelids of the person on the kang move slightly, and opened her eyes after a muffled snort.

The unfamiliar environment made his face appear obviously confused and stunned, and Su Yan stepped forward, "You're awake." ”

The man looked up at the source of the voice, and nodded his head slowly twice in the middle of the night, his face still confused.

The handsome facial features and his confused expression at the moment made people feel distressed for no reason, and Su Yan's voice couldn't help but soften: "You should be hungry, wait a minute, I'll serve you a bowl of porridge." ”

"Hungry ......," the man lowered his head and uttered a vague syllable.

His reaction was really strange, but Su Yan couldn't say anything wrong, her thin eyebrows frowned slightly, and she couldn't grasp the flashing thought in her mind, shook her head and walked out of the room quickly.

Considering the size of the man, Su Yan deliberately used the largest sea bowl in the house to fill a bowl of porridge, boiled sticky and soft glutinous white rice, soft meat foam, mixed with brightly colored green vegetables, salty and delicious, you can smell the fragrance from a distance.

When Su Yan entered the door, she saw the man sitting on the kang leaning slightly, her dark eyes staring at the bowl in her hand tightly, her face full of impatience, like the black dog raised by Granny Zhang's family in the village waiting to be fed, Su Yan couldn't help laughing, smiled and handed the bowl to him: "Oh, eat." ”

The man looked up at her, as if to determine something, and Su Yan stretched out his hand again to bring the bowl closer to him: "Eat quickly." ”

As soon as the words fell, his hand was light, and when he looked at it again, he saw him holding the bowl with both hands and snoring and swallowing, so he just wanted to bury his whole face in it, leaving only the back of his head facing her, Su Yan looked at the bamboo chopsticks in his hand that had not yet been handed out, shook his head and chuckled: "You slow down." "I'm not going to rob you.

She was answered by a louder sniff.

A bowl full of porridge was swallowed by the man in two or three times, and at the end, he licked his mouth unsatisfied, raised his face and showed the empty bowl to Su Yan with anticipation.

"Still?" Su Yan asked hesitantly.

The black eyes lit up instantly, the man nodded quickly, handed the bowl out again, and reclaimed Yan's words: "I want to." Affirmative tone.

Su Yan had to serve him another bowl, and watched the man pour another bowl of porridge into his stomach at a speed no less than that of Fang Cai, and even the bottom of the bowl was licked by him. Su Yan was surprised in her heart, this person hadn't eaten for a few days.

Another bowl of porridge was in his stomach, and the man stopped, burping in satisfaction.

Su Yan picked up the bowl by the kang and turned around and walked out of the house, just now she was just watching him eat, her stomach was still empty, thinking of the amount of men's food, Su Yan couldn't help but exclaim, it's good to do a lot, otherwise where would she still have her own share now!

Compared with a man's sea of appetites, Su Yan's appetite is pitiful, and the porcelain bowl with the smallest caliber feeds her with only half a bowl of porridge.

After cleaning up the stove with neat movements, Su Yan went to the East House again, she wanted to ask the man where he was from, so that he could find his family or companions to pick him up.

The man sat on the edge of the kang and his slender legs hung down along the edge of the kang, because the kang was a little low, his legs were still slightly stretched forward, and when Su Yan came in, he looked down at the black boots embroidered with gold silk moire on his feet.

For some reason, such a simple action revealed a tight sense of oppression, and Su Yan paused.

Hearing footsteps, the man's ears moved and he looked up.

As soon as he raised his head, the momentum that had just lowered his head disappeared completely, and Su Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You, you wiped the rice grains sticking to your mouth." ”

The man tilted his head and was stunned for a long time before he seemed to understand Su Yan's words, and raised his sleeves in hindsight.

"Hey! Dirty! Seeing that he was about to wipe his mouth with his cuffs, Su Yan hurriedly stepped forward to stop his movements, pulled out his handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to him: "Use this." ”

The man took her handkerchief but did not send it to his mouth, but moved clumsy to carry it into his arms, but unfortunately this side was put in, and that side was brought out by his rough palm, for a long time, a small piece of handkerchief was carried into his arms, leaving only a corner exposed outside, the man stopped his movements when he saw this, raised his head and smiled at Su Yan: "Lady......"

The low voice was almost murmuring, Su Yan didn't hear it clearly for a while, and subconsciously asked, "What did you say?" ”

The man looked at Su Yan seriously and repeated, "Lady." ”

Su Yan finally heard what he was saying, and her apricot eyes were round and she was about to scold, but she stopped when she saw the look on the man's face-

His demeanor was serious and careful, his eyes were ignorant, and there was a faint stupidity in his whole body.

Yes, it's stupid.

Thinking about all the things he had done since he woke up, Su Yan finally realized why she had felt that the man's reaction was a little strange before.

He's a fool! A mentally imperfect person naturally behaves differently from ordinary people.

It's just that......

Su Yan frowned slightly, it was not that she had never been in contact with such a mentally imperfect person, but the person she knew was mentally stuck in the childhood of seven or eight years old, and the usual communication was still unhindered. But the one in front of him seems to be completely stupid, not only is his movements sluggish, but he also has to understand ordinary sentences for a long time, and even the words are not clear word by word.

Su Yan reached out and grabbed the man's wrist for a long time before letting go, her brows furrowed even tighter.

From the pulse, it can only be seen that he was seriously injured some time ago, and now he is not fully healed, and there is no one else.

Could it be a fool?

Thinking like this, Su Yan felt that her previous doubts had been explained, and the stupidity brought out of her mother's womb was naturally not easy to educate.

Looking at what he was wearing, he must be the young master of a big family, but I don't know why he appeared in a small village and was alone. When he picked him up, although he was a wolf, he didn't have any other new wounds on his body, thinking that it was not the enemy chasing him, he should have been separated from the servants.

"Do you remember your name?" Su Yan asked tentatively, it would be much easier if she could ask.

The man frowned and thought for a long time, Huo Di, his eyes lit up, and he said vaguely: "Zhong, Zhongkang." ”

"Zhongkang?" Su Yan repeated in a low voice.

"Hmm!" The man was extremely serious, nodded honestly, and stretched out his finger to point at himself: "Zhongkang." Then he turned around and pointed to Su Yan: "Lady." ”

Su Yan tried to ignore his "lady", and kept thinking in her heart.

Second? The surname Zhong is not common, and she has the impression that there is no family surnamed Zhong in the rich and noble people in the town, could it be from the county?

"Do you remember where your family lives?" Su Yan asked again.

This stumped Zhong Kang, he thought about it for a while and didn't come up with a reason, and finally only blinked a pair of eyes and looked at Su Yan pitifully.

Facing his eyes, Su Yan secretly said that he was stunned, how could he remember where his family lived like this.

"You stay here obediently, don't run around, I'll be back right away." Because of her experience in getting along with mentally imperfect people, Su Yan knew how to communicate with them, and after patiently saying this, she turned around and wanted to go out, but there was a pause at her feet, she thought about it, turned around and said, "That's it, you go with me." ”

I don't know how long it will take to go down the mountain to do some errands and come back, leaving Zhongkang alone at home Su Yan didn't feel at ease no matter how she thought about it, so she had to take him with her, and she couldn't tell if she would be able to find his family this time.

After finishing speaking, I saw that the person who had a gloomy expression because of her previous sentence instantly grinned, and got up to follow her.

***

Su Yan took Zhong Kang into the village, and met many people along the way, Su Yan has rescued people from the forest in recent years, there are rich young ladies who come to the forest to "explore" without knowing the depths, and there are also hunters hunting in the surrounding villages, so when they saw Su Yan followed by a stranger, they were not surprised, and only asked with a smile: "Doctor Su rescued people from the mountains again?" ”

Su Yan didn't want to say more, so she nodded her head in response.

Li Zheng's house was in the middle of the village, the wooden door was open, Su Yan stopped outside the door and raised her voice to ask inside, "Is the third uncle at home?" ”

A woman in a tan straight coat walked out of the stove room on the side, and when she saw that it was Su Yan, she hurriedly greeted enthusiastically: "Oops! Come on in! How many times have you said it, and then you can just come in directly from home! This kid! Why don't you listen! ”

A dry voice came from the room in the middle: "Who? ”

The third aunt stretched out her hand and pulled Su Yan to ask a few words in a low voice, and after listening to Su Yan's intentions, she turned her head and shouted to the room in the middle: "Old man, it's Su Yan's girl!" ”

"Oh, let her in."

Su Yan led Zhong Kang in, and said to the forty or fifty-year-old man who was sitting cross-legged on the side of the kang with his eyes closed, "Third uncle." ”

The third uncle raised his eyelids and glanced at Su Yan, and his gaze fell on Zhong Kang behind her: "Saved in the mountains?" ”

Su Yan nodded: "I came to the third uncle today for this matter." She roughly said the matter: "Trouble the third uncle to lend me the ox cart, I want to go to the city." ”

There is a small rich family she knows in the county, and she can help inquire if there is a family surnamed Zhong who has lost someone, even if Zhongkang is not from Yangle County, there are many people in the county and the news is circulating, so they can help keep an eye on it.

After listening to Su Yan's words, the third uncle looked at Zhong Kang again: "Well, it's okay, the family must be in a hurry if you lose someone, so I'll let the sixth son send you to the county seat." ”

While talking, a strong man came in from outside, "Aye, Doctor Su is also there." ”

The third uncle beckoned to him, "Go, drive the ox cart to send Dr. Su and them to the county seat." ”

The sixth son happily agreed, turned around and went to set the ox cart.
