As the rain fell, the wagon was passing through a low-lying valley.

The hostess who drove the car had already talked to us for a while.

She glanced up at the gloomy dark clouds pressing down on the top of the mountain, and the whip fell on the horse.

The car we were in was speeding forward.

The mountain was foggy, and the hostess planned to drive the car to the vicinity of the cave where she could take shelter from the rain.

They are used to this route, and according to her, they have to pass through a lot of times every year to traffic tea.

Not counting Ji Jiu, even I, who was used to riding in such a car during the escape, naturally understood the situation in front of me.

Therefore, without waiting for the hostess to remind us, both of us grabbed the things that could be held in the car.

There were three children, two girls and one boy in the car, and I especially liked the youngest girl.

I'm only four years old this year, and it's the cutest time.

Earlier, her eldest sister held her to sit, and I used the nirvana of coaxing the child, and after a few lame tricks, the little girl squeezed into me and sat down.

After a ride with them, I heard that the three children in the car had a slight cough, the season changed, the humidity was heavy, and it was the most likely time to get sick.

She looked at me in amazement, but she smiled the kindest smile we'd ever had since the ride.

"Xiaolin, do you know medicine?"

"My brother is a doctor." Ji Jiu, who had been sitting there in silence and closing his eyes to recuperate, suddenly opened his eyes and said loudly.

His pretended look of pride in having a medical brother made me laugh.

The hostess's attitude was even more amiable, and she praised: "I really can't see that you are still a doctor at a young age." ”

Is there any direct connection between being young and practicing medicine? Is there one?

Besides, is there a small one? Is there one?

I looked at her quizzically. The hostess explained: "Xunyang is different from other places, most of the doctors here are elderly, so it is rare to hear that you are so young and a man is actually practicing medicine." ”

I see, I was relieved. However, a bigger question came to mind: "Don't the old doctors accept disciples?" ”

I originally wanted to say that my master also accepts disciples, but when I think of Yun Chu, I am really the only disciple!

I had to retract that sentence and asked, "Why is it so strange to see me?" ”

"There are very few children in the city who are willing to practice medicine."

The hostess replied to me simply, but she didn't want to say anything, and she didn't want to tell me in detail.

Who hasn't shied away from it?

I glanced at her in disbelief. Then he smiled and said, "What are the delicious specialties in Xunyang City?" ”

This topic, no place will be shy away, always able to talk very pleasantly, no matter where people come from, when it comes to the specialties of their hometown, they are like a few treasures.

will also deliberately emphasize something with others as the best and most authentic in his hometown!

Ji Jiu, who closed his eyes again and recuperated again, opened his eyes and looked at me when he heard this. A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"Don't be surprised, my brother"

"Where," said the hostess, with great pleasure, "is the right question to ask me." ”

"I won't hide it from you, my tea shop is located at the mouth of an extremely lively alley, which is where the most delicious restaurants in Xunyang are located."

"Yishun'er is a time-honored brand, and after you arrive, you can be regarded as a blessing." "I don't know if there's an inn nearby?" "Yes. I'll show you the way, it's very convenient. "How long are you going to stay in Xunyang City?" The heroine replied a few words, and asked me and Ji Jiu curiously.

I set my sights on Ji Jiu. I'll leave this kind of question to my "big brother" to answer. "Stay for a day or two at most, and we're in a hurry to go to the national capital."

The hostess sighed as if with regret: "In such a short time, there are not many things that can be tasted. “

I was a little amused by her expression, this is the difference between men and women, even in a place like Sealand where women are in charge, their hobbies are not much different from those of women everywhere else.

Three children in the carriage. The boy was the second in line, wrapped in an oversized robe. His face was a little abnormally pale, although his eldest and youngest sisters also had some coughs. The face looks good.

I looked at the boy several times, and finally couldn't help but ask the hostess: "Is this child physically weak?" “

The gesture of the hostess who was driving the car suddenly paused, she turned her head to look at me and said with a wry smile: "The doctor is the doctor, my son was short before, and when we were pregnant with him, we happened to go to the south to buy tea." “

She paused and said, "I didn't want to meet robbers on the way back, I was frightened and fell ill halfway." "Back in Xunyang, my health has been poor during that time, the child was born prematurely, not full-term, and almost couldn't be saved." "Fortunately, it was Dr. Lin from Xunyang City who watched it for me, and it was fortunate to be saved, Xiao Lin, that Dr. Lin is your family."

At the end of the words, she changed her previous sad face and smiled slightly.

I like people who are so optimistic!

I couldn't help but smile in return: "Yes, there are still many doctors surnamed Lin, and there are elders in my family who are also doctors." "In this way, you are the heir of a family of medicine." "If I'm not mistaken, the lake country should be passed on to men and not to women."

I was a little weak by this high hat that I had unintentionally put on, and I laughed dryly and said, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." “

Turning my head to look at Ji Jiu's expression, I saw that he seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed again, but the smile on the corner of his mouth indicated that he had heard it, and now he was just pretending to be asleep.

The topic returned to the hostess's second son, and I frowned at the child for a while before saying, "Looking at his face, is it difficult to go out?" "Xiaolin, you're right, this delicate doll in my family doesn't go out of the door, it's hard to get out a few times a year, and I'm sick a lot." "In a season like now, it takes days to get sick. I didn't get any better. The hostess said in a somewhat dull tone. The cough was even worse for a month or two. "That's not going to work," I said, shaking my head, "boys can't do that, they have to go out and go for a walk." “

The hostess chimed in, "Isn't it?" The old people in the family are all spoiled by him, and he is not in good health, so he is very powerful. "Speaking of which, although men should be pampered, it is too much." "It's better for children to be with their parents," I said kindly. "I'm always a little worried about leaving it to the old man to keep it," and "who's to say it's not," the hostess slowed down gradually, for there was a cave ahead.

It should be the place where she planned to stop and rest. "This time, I picked up my three children back to be reunited. Originally, I always went back every once in a while. "Although our tea shop is not big, the business in Xunyang City is not bad." "The main thing is that the location is good, as I just said, it is opened at the mouth of the alley of the most lively time-honored restaurant." "The tea shop has been open for several years, it was originally run by my mother, and in order to save some expenses after I took over, I didn't add more manpower, and now it is still two old guys and our husband and wife."

I listened and said, "Since the business is good." Why not expand a little? “

The hostess was stunned when she heard this, and then answered: "Xiaolin, are you talking about the storefront next door?" "Hmm. That's what it means. "I don't want to be bigger anymore, the business now is enough for the whole family, and the money is endless."

The hostess was unexpectedly open-minded: "The tea shop is open, and there are more tea leaves to enter, I am more picky, and any tea must be inspected by me before it can be put into the shop." “

She said with a bit of pride in her tone: "The store came to buy tea." It's all for our word of mouth. "You have a point." I couldn't help but think of the conversation between the famous dock fisherman and the idler, and a smile welled up in my eyes. "There is indeed no end to the money." Now that the child has arrived, take him out for a walk. Bask in the sun and your face will look better. “

I still gave her a sincere advice, and the hostess nodded at me knowingly.

The carriage went all the way along the official road and made a turn at a fork in the road

The cave is very spacious, and there are blackened traces of burning firewood in the pit on the ground.

Without waiting for the hostess's instructions, her eldest daughter had already begun to look for dry branches on the side, pile them up, and remove the burden and a pot from the car.

Even the little girl was eager to help on the side, even if she picked up a small branch, even if she helped to get a flint, the emphasis was on participation, which fully reflected the quality of Sealand girls since childhood!

On the other hand, the sick boy was still wrapped in a big robe and cowered by the rock, only watching the two sisters busy.

I swallowed the words to my lips, forget it, I also reminded it, after all, it is other people's housework, and it is rude to say too much, and the other is unnecessary

While the steaming dried vegetable soup was boiling, the hostess took a packet of steamed buns from the car.

The hot soup is cold steamed buns, and it is not too difficult to eat, I ate some with Ji Jiu, and even the youngest female doll ate half a steamed bun and drank a few mouthfuls of soup.

After eating, I wanted to ask her about the situation in Yuzhou, but thinking of the speed of the carriage when we first met, I thought that she might not have passed through Yuzhou after us.

Without waiting for me to speak, Ji Jiu asked about her situation first.

After a few words of dialogue, I realized that I had indeed entered a misunderstanding.

The official road in our concept is to connect Yubei to the capital of Zealand, so I remembered to ask the hostess Yu Bei about the condition, although I thought that she might be a little late in time, so I gave up the idea of asking on this ground.

Now that Ji Jiu asked, we knew that the place we had not walked in the previous section of the official road was connected to another city in Xilan, in other words, if the hostess who came over there hadn't met the people of Yubei, she wouldn't have known what happened over there at all.

Ji Jiu excused himself to go outside the cave to see the rain, and I followed a few seconds behind.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Ji Jiu turned his head to look at me and said with a solemn gaze: "The news will not be known until a few days at the earliest." (To be continued).
