Xiahou Yuchen's words, the old man and the other four people didn't expect it.

This thing is changing too fast.

The old man believed Xiahou Yuchen's words, probably the old man felt that it was impossible for a child of a few years old to lie and deceive others.

The old man actually saw Xiao Wu, and he knew in his heart that this group of people was not easy to bully, so he would explain it well.

Since Xiahou Yuchen said so, the old man did not hesitate at the moment, and directly waved his hand at the two men who were holding Xiahou Yuchen and Yunhe.

The two men glanced at each other, and finally let go of Xiahou Yuchen and Yunhe a little helplessly, and Xiahou Yuchen and Yunhe, who were released, rushed directly to Thyme's side.

Xiahou Yuchen suddenly threw himself into thyme's arms, his face full of worry.

Thyme touched Xiahou Yuchen's head and asked with pity, "You don't have anything to do, right?" ”

Xiahou Yuchen shook his head, after all, Yunhe's soul is a young man in his twenties, so he naturally has to be much calmer, walked to Thyme's side, and quietly looked at a few people opposite.

Ouyang Qingchen on the side finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Xiao Wu on the side was still on guard.

The old man was also relieved in his heart, at least the thyme they didn't make trouble after he let go of the two children, that is to say, he bet right, this time they met a good person, and the old man hugged his fist again and said guiltily: "What happened just now was a misunderstanding, and please Mrs. and the old man don't be angry, Madame, please be merciful and save my inner man." ”

The old man bowed deeply after speaking.

Thyme sighed and said, "Do you know that if you do this, if we really do it, we will be arrested and imprisoned." In any case, it is too risky to do so, and if the people you meet are not good, you will definitely be the ones who will suffer. These words are also the heartfelt words of thyme.

In fact, for the old man's behavior, thyme is still more or less suspicious, if Xiahou Yuchen didn't say that they were doctors just now, maybe the two sides have already started now.

However, there are always two sides to everything, and the old man may really be forced to do this, and everyone has a time when they encounter difficulties.

Hearing thyme's reproach, the old man nodded a little embarrassed.

Now that the matter has been made clear. Thyme is no longer delayed. Facing Ouyang Qingchen and Xiao Wu, he said, "Let's go and have a look!" ”

Ouyang Qingchen has no opinion, anyway, what Thyme says now, he has no opinion.

And Xiao Wu also listened to thyme completely.

The old man and the other four were still a little excited.

"Please also ask the old man to lead the way."

After Thyme finished speaking, the old man immediately said, "My house is in the forest here." It's a backwooded place. Everyone builds a house to find a place they like. I built it where I thought it was suitable, my ancestors built it in the forest, if you don't mind, just follow me! ”

As soon as these words came out. Xiao Wu frowned, turned back to the thyme and said, "Miss, I think it's better to ask them to bring the patient out." "Xiao Wu is worried that he can't fully take care of everyone's safety when he goes in.

Thyme thought about it, but she didn't have much to worry about, shook her head, and Thyme said: "Xiao Wu, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, Chen'er, Yunhe and Ouyang Gongzi stay here, and you and I will follow them in." ”

Thyme did this in order to escape when the time came.

Ouyang Qingchen on the side nodded, but Xiahou Yuchen wanted to go with Thyme a little.

Just as he was about to speak, Thyme shook her head directly at Xiahou Yuchen: "Chen'er, I know what you want to say, but you can't!" ”

Thyme looked serious, Xiahou Yuchen pouted unwillingly, shrugged his shoulders and pretended not to care: "Okay, I'll follow the master here." ”

Knowing that Xiahou Yuchen was uncomfortable, Thyme said with a smile: "Later, if I see the patient's symptoms, I will tell you what to do when I come back." ”

Xiahou Yuchen is very obsessed with medical skills, no matter what illness he encounters, he must carefully discuss it and find several solutions, which is actually very gratifying to Thyme.

After the thyme explained, she motioned for the old man to lead the way.

Thyme realized that there was really a path not far upstream of where they were playing just now, and these people were able to get here quietly just now, and I am afraid that they also walked out along the path.

The old man walked at the back, and said to the thyme while walking: "The people in our neighborhood are very poor, there is really no way, now the war is in chaos, the taxes are also high, we are busy from beginning to end of the year, every day to support half full, barely hungry, there is no money at all, the first few are my four sons, none of them have yet to get married!" ”

The old man sighed heavily when he said this, his face full of helplessness.

Xiao Wu frowned and asked, "Your family has four sons, why didn't you go to the army?" ”

Asked by Xiao Wu like this, the old man stopped, looked back at Xiao Wu and said with a somewhat bad face: "Childe doesn't know, if I hadn't sent them into the mountains, my children would have been dragged to be soldiers. ”

Thyme didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

The path is often walked, which means that what the old man said is not a lie, the trees on both sides are very dense, and there is always a feeling of deep shade when walking in it.

Sunlight spills in through the gaps in the leaves, giving some comfort.

"Are there many people living in the mountains?" Xiao Wu asked.

The old man shook his head: "It's not much, it's more difficult to grow rice here, just like our family, there are only a few pieces of poor land near the valley in front of us, and the rest of the land is also opened in the cracks of the stones, and there is not much harvest from planting food, so this day can only be passed like this." ”

Thyme can actually understand the hardships of these people, now at this time there is no hybrid rice, no good seeds, no fertilizer, and the cultivation of food depends on the manure of pigs and people in their own households, plus the grain is the seeds set aside by themselves, not to mention that the grain is easy to get sick, and the yield cannot be raised.

It's conceivable that life is not good.

"It will be fine in two years, and it will be peaceful soon, and when the two countries are reunified, life will be better."

Thyme said this faintly.

The old man smiled bitterly after hearing this, and had no hope for Taiping: "Taiping is so difficult, I think that when the two countries were not at war, the taxes were not high, and life was better at that time, until after the war, a year is not as good as a year, if it can really be peaceful, I will wake up with a smile in my dreams." ”

There was silence on the road again.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Thyme and the others finally walked out of the end of the forest, and Thyme realized that the old man's home was originally located under the cliff at the end of the forest.

The five thatched huts built on the hill have large yards and look very spacious.

The courtyard walls were fenced with half-man-high wooden stakes, and the house was cleaned up all around.

When the four men returned home, they began to get about their own business.

The two men who were escorting Xiahou Yuchen and Yunhe just now, one of them carried a pair of dung buckets and began to pick up dung, probably to water the grain.

The youngest child was busy working in the yard.

At this time, a little girl of eight or nine years old came out of the house.

The old man looked at the little girl and said to the thyme: "Madame, this is my youngest daughter Jiu'er, Jiu'er hurry up and salute Madame." ”

Jiu'er looks delicate, but the clothes on her body have been washed white, and the patches on it are heavy one by one, and it is obvious that this dress is made smaller with the clothes worn by men.

Jiu'er was probably a little afraid of life because he rarely saw outsiders, but he still stepped forward to salute the thyme, and called timidly: "Madam"

Thyme thought Jiu'er was good, at least much cuter than the four men just now, so she hurriedly took off a jade bracelet in her hand and handed it to Jiu'er: "Acquaintance is fate, take this jade bracelet and sell it to buy a few clothes for yourself." ”

Jiu'er glanced at the jade bracelet in thyme's hand, and the whole green bracelet looked very beautiful.

Although her eyes were full of desire, Jiu'er still didn't stretch out her hand.

"I can't ask for this bracelet, thank you Madame for your kindness."

Thyme handed the bracelet to Xiao Wu and motioned for Xiao Wu to hand it to Jiu'er.

Xiao Wu didn't have such a good attitude as thyme, so he directly stuffed the bracelet into Jiu'er's hand and said: "My wife tells you to take it, you can take it, Mrs. is kind-hearted, this bracelet has to be three or four taels of silver in the pawnshop, remember not to be cheap." ”

When Jiu'er heard that this bracelet was so valuable, she felt even more that she couldn't ask for this bracelet, and looked at her father at a loss.

But when he saw the old man, he sighed.

Thyme actually wants to help the old man's family in disguise, so she uses this method.

"I told you to take it, but I hope you can live a safe and stable life in the future." Thyme is based on the principle of making more good connections, and money is also something outside the body.

The old man bowed his hand to the thyme and thanked him: "Thank you, madam, we won't do that again in the future, and I'm ashamed to say it." ”

It was the first time for the old man to do this, otherwise he wouldn't have poured out his old bottom so quickly.

Thyme nodded with a smile: "I hope you are the talker, take me in, I will see the patient early, or leave early, we have to hurry." ”

Hearing Thyme say this, the old man did not delay any longer, and hurriedly walked in front to lead the way, Thyme walked behind the old man, and Xiao Wu followed Thyme closely.

When I entered the house, I was greeted by a square table with two bowls on it, in which were placed a few uneaten wild vegetable nests, and there was nothing in the room except a table and a few stools, and a few farm implements. (To be continued......)
