Chapter 34: Chinese New Year's Eve
Yi Xun and Shouxin are very helpless, no one can imagine that the god doctor who is respected and sought after outside will be a storage zĂ i that no one wants to ignore in his hometown! Even the people who came to him for medical treatment were not welcomed!
They had no choice but to blindly smile with people, and wanted to take out the silver to give them in exchange for news, but they were stopped by Yi Xun. He took out the salt left over from the roasted game on the road from the baggage he carried with him and handed it to the villagers, who smiled and told them the whereabouts of the divine doctor's house.
Bidding farewell to the villagers, Shouxin and Yi Xun walked to the village, and asked in confusion: "Don't they like silver, only salt?" But silver can be exchanged for more salt! â
"Some of the villagers here have never left for almost their entire lives, and even if they have silver, they don't have a place to spend it, so they prefer to ask for salt." Yi Xun has obviously done some research here, and he still knows a lot about some things.
"Oh? Are they self-sufficient? "Morishin, who has experience in modern life, has no way of imagining a self-sufficient life, but in modern times, even drinking water has to be paid.
"Yes, their way of life is very old, and the villagers are also very content, just eat and dress warmly."
This way of life makes people sigh, they have their own little satisfaction, even if they don't have a too comfortable life, they never complain.
Here, Shouxin knew that the name of the divine doctor was Gu Yishan, and the world called Gu Yishan a mountain a mountain divine doctor.
Yishan's family lives in the innermost part of the village, with the same bamboo building as other people's houses, but because of the different lifestyles and the different things placed in the yard, it is easy to find Gu Yishan's house by guarding the heart and looking for it.
At this time, an old woman with a wrinkled face was standing at the gate of the courtyard, she was wearing a dark cotton robe, her clothes were better and better than the villagers she had seen before, and she also had a golden hairpin on her head, which was shining in the dark night.
Presumably, there is a miracle doctor's son, and the old man's life in the village should be the best, right?
The old woman was quite disappointed when she saw Shouxin and Yi Xun, only to hear her sigh and mutter, "Why isn't it a mountain?" "Come to think of it, when the old woman saw their figures just now, she should have regarded them as her own sons, right?
"Hello mother-in-law, may I ask if the doctor hasn't come back yet?" Shouxin stepped forward and asked softly.
"No, no, didn't I sue you? He came to ask several times a day, and if he came back, he would have to come in from the entrance of the village. The old woman was a little impatient, and as she spoke, her eyes looked at the entrance of the village from time to time.
"I'm sorry mother-in-law, do you know where the Yishan Divine Doctor went?" Shouxin is not angry that the old woman is impatient, they are here to beg for help, so they naturally have to lower their posture.
"I don't know, he brought the news a month ago, saying that he would try to come back as much as possible during the New Year, but now he hasn't come back, who knows what happened to him, and he didn't tell my wife, so I was worried." The old woman chattered, and she couldn't hide her feelings of missing her son.
Shouxin and Yi Xun glanced at each other helplessly, and it seemed that they couldn't ask anything. However, they were not in a hurry to leave, and Shouxin comforted the old woman a few words: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, there must be something important about the Yishan Divine Doctor." He's a miracle doctor himself, so there's nothing to worry about! â
"Yes, yes, my son is a miracle doctor and will definitely come back safely. Good luck. "Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the old man said a few auspicious words, but none of them prayed for the safe return of his son.
Shouxin and Yi found her like this, so they took out the gifts they had prepared and gave them, and then left.
On the way out of the village, Shouxin asked Yi Xun: "Childe, what should we do now?" â
"We will also stay at the entrance of the village for the time being, and let people go to find out the news." Yi Xun thought about it and decided.
"Well, that's all there is to it." There is no good way to keep your heart, what you can do is to wait for the rabbit. Also, I hope that Yi Xun's other subordinates can find the whereabouts of the miracle doctor.
There were a lot of people waiting at the entrance of the village, and they finally found a place suitable for setting up tents and guarding the entrance of the village at all times. In case a mountain miracle doctor has returned, they don't know yet.
It was already the end of the hour, and the other people who were waiting had already eaten dinner, and they were gathered in twos and threes to talk and keep the New Year.
Yi Xun and Shouxin also set up a simple tent with their hands and feet, and then built a bonfire in front of the tent, set up a small iron pot, and took snow from a nearby snow-clean place to melt it and burn it into drinking water. Dinner was just dry cakes and a few pieces of beef jerky.
Counting the past and present lives, this is the hardest year that Shouxin has ever lived.
She looked at the beef jerky and biscuits in her hand, and she didn't know what it tasted like, a little bitter, but not so sad. Perhaps, it's because of the game around you.
At this time, Yi Xun smiled apologetically at Shouxin: "I didn't expect that the first Chinese New Year's Eve that let you leave the island be like this." â
Shouxin shook his head: "Isn't Childe the same!" â
"No, you can actually live a better ......"
"Childe, don't say anything like this in the future, since they have all left the island, it's useless to think about it so much. What's more, it's not every day. Didn't you give me a lot of good things, too! "Thinking about Yi Xun's kindness to himself over the years, the bitterness of that little bit is gone.
"Huh...... I'll make it up to you when I get back. Yi Xun thought, and only by doing so can he make up for his guard.
"Oh? Childe wants to compensate like this? Shouxin asked with a grin, knowing that only if he said this, Yi Xun would not be so entangled.
"What do you want? As long as I have, it's fine. "Yi Xun is willing to do anything, there is no doubt about it.
"Well, Childe, why don't you make me a wish first, and then tell you when I think of it." Shouxin had already thought of this wish in her heart, that is, one day she would finish her friendship and leave to find her own life in ancient times. But now is not the time to say it. It's better to have a promise first. She knows that Yi Xun is a person who keeps promises, and as long as she agrees, she will definitely agree in the future.
"This ...... As long as it doesn't go against my principles, I can say yes. Yi Xun didn't say anything to death, because when Shouxin made this wish, he actually had a very bad feeling in his heart, and this feeling made him not agree to Shouxin.
In the past, it was difficult for Yi Xun to refuse the one who guarded his heart, but this time, he actually left a line.
When Shouxin heard him say this, he was also a little uncomfortable in his heart, and felt that Yi Xun was too cautious. The important thing is that Yi Xun used to be almost responsive to her needs.
Alas, forget it, just mention it now, this matter has to be slowly figured out!
"Eh, two little princes, this is your Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?" The man who had spoken to Shouxin and Yi Xun before walked over, still holding a wine gourd in his hand, and there was some alcohol on his body.
"Hmm." Yi Xunen sighed, without a superfluous expression.
"Alas, this Chinese New Year's Eve passed. Come, have a drink with me? "That person has obviously been complaining about waiting here on Chinese New Year's Eve, and he has the intention of drinking to relieve his worries.
"No, thank you big brother." Shouxin rejected this person for himself and Yi Xun, and everyone met in Pingshui, and they didn't have a friendship of drinking together. It is important to seek an extraordinary identity, and not to drink with others casually. It was different in Brother Li's house before, they took the initiative to find Brother Li, and it was a simple Zhuang family, so there would be no problem.
But the man in front of him is the same as them, he is the same as the god of the mountain doctor, and the doctor of the mountain has a strange temper, and there are not many people who can promise to heal, speaking of which, they are still a little competitive. How can you let Yi Xun drink his wine?
When the man heard the refusal, he was immediately unhappy: "What? You look down on me? "This person is also a wealthy businessman, otherwise he would not have found out the news of the miracle doctor. These news are hard to find!
"No, no, don't get me wrong, big brother, the two of us are still young, and the amount of alcohol is not good, we still have to wait for the divine doctor, in case you miss the divine doctor when you are drunk, don't you regret it for the rest of your life? The family is still waiting for medical treatment, and so is the eldest brother! Shouxin was busy playing the sympathy card, only to see the man sigh: "It's not, forget it, don't drink or drink." I also drink less, how can I care about those bunnies. â
The man was talking about the entourage he brought, and he was obviously not worried about them, for fear that he would miss the miracle doctor. He chatted with Shouxin Yixun and the others for a few more words before leaving and going back to his tent.
Yi Xun and Shouxin filled their stomachs, Yi Xun went to a secluded place, summoned a bird, wrote a few words and put it in a small bamboo tube on the bird's leg. The bird resembled a carrier pigeon, but unlike a carrier pigeon, it was smaller and uninconspicuous, and if she had seen it, she would have been amazed, for she had never seen such a bird before. And this is also a tool that the green wolf has cultivated for many years and uses to communicate with his own people.
Because everyone has to keep the New Year, everyone has not slept, and the village is lit up with stars and candles to welcome the arrival of the new year.
It's just that there were no clocks in this era. At night, it is impossible to distinguish the time by the position of the sun, and everyone waits until the sky is white, and then alternates with their own people to rest and sleep. The same is true for Shouxin and Yi Xun, Shouxin let Yi Xun sleep first, and he sat there in a daze. But his eyes were still on the only way to the village. And she, in such a day, ushered in her fourteenth year.
At the age of fourteen, she only hopes that in the new year, Yi Xun's residual poison can be removed.
This is her New Year's resolution.
Watching a round of red sun rising in the sky, Shouxin folded his hands and made this wish.
Although the people in the village keep watch until midnight, they still get up very early in the morning. They are some very hard-working villagers, and on the first day of the Lunar New Year, according to the old rules, they are going to pay New Year's greetings. So early in the morning, Shouxin saw the villagers walking back and forth, with smiles on their faces and saying auspicious words.
