Chapter Eighty-Six: Hypocrisy

However, this section of the embankment is the part of the bluestone steps, at best, it is only a five-meter-long section, in order to facilitate people to get close to the lotus leaves and watch the lotus flowers up close after the lotus leaves grow in the future. Qiu Chen was going to build a wooden trestle bridge to extend into the lotus pond, or build an eaves corridor, or build a small pavilion, but now the lotus leaves had just germinated, and he hadn't had time yet.

It was also a coincidence that the place where the stone had been standing before was close to this embankment, and he was kicked out by the little guy, and rolled down the bluestone steps with his skull, and the stone did not even cry, and then, with a pop, fell into the pond!

It just so happened that Lao He was on the other side of the pond to check the germination of the lotus root, and when he heard the scolding of the little guy, he saw the scene of the stone falling into the water, and couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately shouted loudly: "The child has fallen into the water!" ”

While shouting, Lao He sprinted this way.

His voice was sharp and high because of impatience and fear, with a piercing broken sound, which made the people who were busy in the Lin family's courtyard tremble.

Qiu Chen was making oil tea for a few children, his hands trembled, and the hot water almost burned his legs. But he didn't care about what to do, and when he swept his eyes, he found that there was a stone missing, and he didn't care about asking, so he threw the kettle in his hand on the table and rushed out.

She was the closest, one step faster than the few people in the backyard, and a little faster than Lao He who ran from the other side of the pond.

A group of people dressed in different clothes outside the gate made her frown slightly, and her mind flashed, as if she had caught something, but she didn't think much about it, and ran to the embankment of the pond to take a look, and saw that the stones were beating their little hands vigorously and trying to struggle out of the water, but they saw that they were about to be submerged by the pond again, and because the child was fluttering with the wrong force, it was getting farther and farther away from the shore...... The pond has just been repaired, and Qiu Chen knows best, because it is a lotus root, the water on the edge of the pond is not too deep, but a little more than a meter, but this depth that is not dangerous for adults is enough to kill a two-year-old little stone.

Qiu Chen didn't care about what he thought about at all, he only remembered that he learned to swim when he was a child, and later went to the pool or the beach to swim once in a while...... There was almost no hesitation, and he didn't even take off his shoes, Qiu Chen pedaled down the stone steps and went directly into the water.

After entering the water, Qiu Chen tried to get used to it, then relaxed, kicked the bottom of the pool, and then slid to the side of the stone with the help of his legs.

At this time, the stone had exhausted its strength, its consciousness was a little confused, and its small body seemed to be extremely heavy, and it slowly fell into the water......

Qiu Chen approached, and while stepping on the bottom of the pool with his feet to stabilize his body, he was already holding the stone and standing up.

The water in the pond was more than a meter deep until below Qiu Chen's chest line, Qiu Chen lifted the confused stone out of the water with both hands, and at the same time, turned around and struggled to walk towards the shore. At this moment, Lao He also ran to the embankment here, and saw Qiu Chen scoop up the child, although he was out of breath when he ran, his heart was relieved.

Junwen, Liu Zhanxiang, and Da Zhuang also ran out at this time, and seeing Qiu Chen in the water, Junwen was about to jump down.

At this moment, Qiu Chen's upper part of her body was exposed outside the water, but most of her body was immersed in the still cold pool water, the cold made her face blue, and her lips began to tremble. However, when he saw that Junwen was about to go into the water, he still tried to stop it loudly: "Junwen, don't come down, I'll go up!" ”

He also instructed Junyan Junzhang and a few people who ran out from behind: "Junyan Junzhang, you go and boil a pot of ginger soup, and then boil a pot of boiling water......"

Junwen and Junzhang were anxious, but they were used to listening to Qiu Chen, Junyan Junzhang nodded and ran back to boil water and boil ginger soup.

Junwen ran down the steps quickly, ignoring Qiu Chen's stopping, jumped off the pond, waded through the water, took the stone into his arms, returned to the shore and lifted it to Yuxiang's arms, and turned around and said, "Aunt, I'll let you go up!" ”

Holding Qiu Chen's armpits with both hands, he lifted Qiu Chen up with one force, and he also jumped ashore with him. Liu Zhanxiang on the shore took a step slower, and seeing that Lin Xu had already lifted Qiu Chen up, Liu Zhanxiang quickly tore off his jacket, stretched out his hand to wrap Qiu Chen, and whispered: "Sister-in-law, I'll carry you back!" ”

After speaking, he bent over and squatted, already carried Qiu Chen on his back and rushed into the house. Lying on Liu Zhanxiang's back, Qiu Chen saw Yuxiang walking towards the school with the child in his arms, and hurriedly stopped: "Don't send it over there, I'll be shocked by Hongmei." Let's hug it over here first! ”

When she entered the door, Qiu Chen asked Liu Zhanxiang to put her down, and walked into the house by herself, but she didn't bother to change her clothes, and reached out to touch the stone's snort as soon as possible. The coldness of her tentacles made her shiver, but then the trace of warm breath she felt under the stone's nose, although faint, still made Qiu Chen breathe a long sigh of relief.

The stone is fine, maybe I choked and fainted!

She quickly pulled off the wet clothes on the stone, at this moment, the Lin family's big bathtub had been carried over, a basin of hot water was poured in, and it was hot, Qiu Chen squatted down, let the stone lie down on one of her legs, and one of her hands gently patted the back of the stone......

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

After a few consecutive blows, the stone spat out a large mouthful of water, and then spit out a few more small mouthfuls of water, and then slowly opened his eyes.

After the little child opened his eyes, he was still a little confused, his eyes were slightly scattered and turned a few times, and finally gathered on Qiu Chen's face, recognized it as Aunt Begonia, and immediately rejoiced in his thoughts: "Aunt Begonia, eat sugar, it hurts!" ”

Qiu Chen saw that the child was conscious, his heart was full of joy and happiness, he lowered his head and kissed the forehead of the stone, and said continuously: "Well, well, eat sugar." However, the stone should take a hot bath first, and after washing, let's go to the bed to eat sugar! ”

The stone grinned, and his little hand covered his stomach and groaned. Qiu Chen's heart chuckled, and he reached out and turned over the small body of the stone to check, and on the side of the stone's abdomen, a large purple-red mark came into view. The shape of the long oval is exactly a footprint! And the child's buttocks, arms, and legs were also covered with purple-red bruises, which were thought to have been knocked down the stone steps......

Qiu Chen was angry in his heart, coaxed the stone, put him in the bathtub, and asked the stone if there was any pain in his head, and after making sure that the stone head was not bruised, he was basically relieved.

Let Yuxiang take a hot bath for the stone to cool off, and then stuff it into the quilt on the kang to warm up. She herself went straight into the room, hurriedly found a dry clothes to change, and walked out of the room with a cloth towel without even having time to take care of her hair.

Lao He saw the child fall into the water for the first time, Qiu Chen found him in the crowd at a glance, and asked, "Master He, how did the child fall into the water?" ”

Lao He shook his head and said very fairly: "I didn't see how the child fell into the water, I only heard someone scolding the child, and then the child fell into the water......"

Before Lao He's words fell, Liu Zhanxiang and Brother Quan, who were squatting at the door of the house, jumped up and rushed out. "It's all coming up to the door, no, go to them to settle accounts!"

Qiu Chen shouted: "Stop them!" ”

Junwen and Lin Zi ran up to stop him. Da Zhuang was the closest, and stopped in front of Liu Zhanxiang in two steps, but he was thrown by the red-eyed Liu Zhanxiang with one arm and almost fell down. With such a block, Junwen and Lin Zi also caught up, one by one, and hugged Liu Zhanxiang and Brother Quan

The two of them belong to the same branch as the Erkui family, Liu Zhanxiang and the Erkui family are closer than Brother Quan, and the two fathers are uncles and brothers.

"Don't stop me, I'm going to find those people to theorize! Don't wait to beat a child like this, it's only a two-year-old child! Liu Zhanxiang struggled hard, his wide eyes were red, he was really angry!

Qiu Chen caught up with him in a few steps, glared at Liu Zhanxiang and said sharply: "If there is no your father and mother, no one will stop you." You don't want to think about your parents, you don't want your daughter-in-law, don't you care about the one in your daughter-in-law's belly? "A few days ago, Liu Zhanxiang came to share with everyone, saying that his daughter-in-law was pregnant with a baby, and she has been happy with her grin for the past few days!

Liu Zhanxiang was stopped by her scream, panting with red eyes, and said angrily: "The stone almost killed those people, is that it?" ”

"No one said forget it, but you ran out so impulsively, is it useful?"

Qiu Chen questioned, and seeing that Liu Zhanxiang was no longer struggling, he gave Junwen and Da Zhuang a look and asked him to let go of Liu Zhanxiang.

He said: "Brother Zhanxiang, don't be impulsive, we want to find those people, but you can't rush out like this." They are unreasonable, and it is not too late for us to be unreasonable...... Besides, the most important thing is to go to the town and ask Lang Zhong to come and show the stone, and prescribe a few pills to recuperate, but don't dare to delay! ”

Saying that, he called Brother Quan and Lin Zi: "You go to the village, see whose livestock are idle, borrow a set of cars and hurry to Huichun Hall, and invite Mr. Zhao to show the stone!" ”

Seeing that Brother Quan and Lin Zi agreed to go, Qiu Chen turned around, called Liu Zhanxiang and a few others, and said, "Let's go, let's go out and have a look." Don't be impulsive! ”

Liu Zhanxiang had red eyes, nodded reluctantly, and walked out after Qiu Chen. Junwen, Lao He, Da Zhuang, Junyan Junzhang, and a group of children like Bolt Shanzi, even Liu Sanhe followed Qiu Chen leisurely, and a large group of people walked out together. In a blink of an eye, all the people in the courtyard walked out, leaving only Yuxiang in the house to wipe the water on the hot and sweaty stones, and carried them into the inner room and stuffed them into the quilt to warm up. Ah Fu and Ah Man held a plate of green and yellow apricots, lying next to the stone pillow, and used their beloved fruits to soothe the frightened friends.

Wrapping the quilt around the stone, Yuxiang brought hot ginger soup, fed the stone and drank half a bowl, and then tightly covered it with two layers of quilts.

smiled and patted Afu Aman: "Afu Aman accompanies the stone, don't let him kick the quilt." ”

Ah Fu opened his eyes and nodded solemnly: "Aunt Yuxiang, don't worry, the stone is going to sweat, my sister and I are looking at him!" ”

Yuxiang smiled and touched the three little brain melons, put the remaining half bowl of ginger soup on the pot table, and hurried out.

Yuxiang didn't think much about it, she just went out for a trip, and she saw that the people outside the gate didn't look like they were easy to mess with, in this case, in case the two sides couldn't hold on to the fight, she could also help shout someone or something.

When she drove out of the gate, the situation outside was very unexpected for her. The group of people in brocade clothes outside did not play cruel and scary, and here in their village, even Liu Zhanxiang did not have the anger just now, but seemed to be a little helpless with his hands tied, and he didn't know what to do. What surprised Yuxiang the most was that at this moment, in the open space between the two parties, a teenage boy was kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to the Lin family, while pleading: "Uncles and aunts, spare me this time, I didn't expect that brother to fall into the water...... Uncles and aunts, spare me, please, spare me......"

This half-sized son obviously kowtowed hard, not only was it loud, and his forehead was covered with mud, but when he looked up, he could clearly see that his forehead had been broken, and the wound was oozing red blood, and it was stained with mud, but it still didn't stop more and more blood from coming out of the wound, and it flowed down the sideburns of his eyes, so that Yuxiang, who was still full of anger and worry just now, shrank back a little unbearably.

These villagers are honest and simple, and the anger of the stone falling into the water just now has been softened by the appearance of this little guy kowtowing and bleeding. Even, looking at the tragic situation of this half-grown child, they couldn't help but think of their own child, and they felt pity and couldn't bear it.

"Hey!" Liu Zhankui sighed heavily, turned around and squatted on the ground and hugged his head.

Qiu Chen sighed secretly, and then raised his eyes to look at the few brocade-clothed men over there who had not spoken, and couldn't help sneering in his heart. These people are really good means, knowing that the people in the village are kind and simple, they pushed such a child out to take the blame. Whether it was the fault of this child, he kicked the stone into the water, so many people saw the stone fall into the water, they were nearby, but no one went down to the rescue!

For that alone, they should never be forgiven! She may not be able to control others, but she will never forgive!

Especially the two Liu brothers who looked embarrassed, but more disdainful and arrogant. Seeing the children in their village fall into the water, they can remain indifferent...... A family that can teach such two sons will definitely not be a kind of good person as the outside world has preached!

Looking at each other coldly, Qiu Chen's gaze turned to meet the gaze of a young man of medium height, fat body, and a round face and white fat. The strong interest and inquisitive meaning in the other party's eyes made Qiu Chen secretly surprised, but nothing was shown on his face.

Looking at the costumes of several people, this person is wearing an emerald green golden robe, with a jade belt around his waist, and he is wearing a green jade crown of the same color, which is the most luxurious, and several other people have a faint sense of flattery. Qiu Chen secretly guessed that this person was very likely to be the same acquaintance son that the daily mother-in-law said.

Qiu Chen had a cold face, looked at the brocade-clothed boys calmly, and said, "You better let this little guy rest, it's useless for him to kowtow his head, the little stone is kicked, falls into the water, and frightened, and he can't replace it!" ”

Liu Jiye took a step forward and was about to speak, but was blocked back by a horizontal fan, and when he turned his head, Gao Lanfang had already said with a smile: "This lady doesn't know what to call her?" ”

Qiu Chen's eyes froze, he didn't miss the banter in Gao Lanfang's eyes, and the disgust in his heart was even worse, and he said coldly: "It doesn't matter what I call it, the important thing is to quickly treat the child who fell into the water." Please also let this little guy go down, our village people pay attention to doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, this is enough to fall into the water at the gate, and then make blood hula, isn't it just to add to people's diaphragm! ”

"Haha......" Gao Lanfang snorted haha, hid the embarrassment on her face, waved away the little guy who was grateful for her kindness, and said with a smile, "What this lady said is that I will arrange for someone to go to the county to invite the most haode ......."

As she spoke, she was about to pretend to instruct people, Qiu Chen's eyes swept away, and he saw that on the other side, Manchu Dad took a few village elders, and Liu Manyin helped the old village to rush over, she took a step back and returned to the crowd, and then saw Brother Quan and Lin Zi driving out, so she took out more than one or two pieces of silver and stuffed them into the two boys, and told them not to pay attention to anything else, and invite Mr. Zhao back as soon as possible, in addition, let them talk to Mr. Zhao, bring the medicine that may be used, and then prescribe the prescription, and then they can match the medicine. I can give a stone to drink as quickly as possible.

Brother Quan and Lin Zi agreed again and again, drove the carriage and hurried away.

Qiu Chen turned around again, and saw that the few brocade-clothed boys had already negotiated with a few village elders, and there were still a number of villagers who had rushed over to see the excitement from a distance. However, when she saw the respectful appearance of several village elders, she sighed in her heart and did not hold out any hope.

In the eyes of the people in the village, it is a figure who is high above and out of reach. Tongzhi Gongzi injured a child, not to mention that there is no worry about his life, even if he hurts his life, these people are afraid and dare not fight with reason.

Shaking her head, Qiu Chen simply ignored the matter here, and quietly beckoned a few helpers to go back to continue working, while she herself walked towards the school.

At the time of the incident just now, I was afraid that the first hearing of the Erkui family would affect the fetus in the womb, at this time, the stone had passed the most dangerous stage, and it was time to go and talk to the Erkui family. After all, whoever takes care of it can't replace his mother. With his mother by his side, he must be able to calm down the stone from the fright as soon as possible.

Even so, when Qiu Chen said that the stone fell into the water, the Erkui family was still startled, and the sewing needle he was holding in his hand poked at his finger at once, but as if he didn't feel pain at all, he threw away the needle and thread in his hand, got up and got off the kang, and walked out in a hurry.

Qiu Chen didn't stop her, but only reached out to hold her arm, and persuaded her: "Hongmei, don't worry, the stone is just startled, I have just taken a hot bath and fed ginger soup, and now I will be stuffed into the quilt to warm up." Brother Quan and Lin Zi also went to the town to invite Lang Zhong, wait for Lang Zhong to take a look, prescribe two pills to get rid of the cold, and it will be fine. You can't be anxious, you have to think about this ...... in your belly."

With Qiu Chen's words of comfort, the Erkui family walked out of the house, and before she walked out of the school, the panic in her heart had gradually eased a little, and her expression became clearer, seeing Qiu Chen supporting herself step by step, she patted Qiu Chen's hand gratefully, but the pace under her feet couldn't slow down at all, and she hurriedly walked towards the Lin family.

When the two of them walked out of the gate of Lan Ying's house, Qiu Chen raised his eyes and saw that the onlookers over there had already dispersed and were walking towards the west of the village. She stretched her neck, and vaguely saw a few splendid figures walking in front of the crowd, and knew that the village elders had brought a few rich sons to talk about things, as for the location, she guessed that it should not be the village house or the ancestral hall that dealt with disputes, but should be the house of the landlord Liu.

However, after a glance, Qiu Chen withdrew his gaze.

It is impossible to pursue any intentional injury or anything like in modern times. As long as there is nothing in the way of the stone, she doesn't want to compete for those, this era is a hierarchical society, for a village child who was injured and fell into the water, I am afraid it is not easier than climbing to the sky to hold the son of Tongzhi responsible!

That's it, that's it, as long as the stone is okay!

When Qiu Chen and Erkui's family rushed back to Lin's house, the stone was already asleep lying in the quilt, and the child was not sleeping very well, his brows were furrowed, and his little hands were clutching the quilt tightly, as if he could feel at ease.

Ah Fu Aman and Shanzi Lingzhi were also in the house, obediently sitting on the kang and guarding the stones, and a few children who were usually not good at digging were very quiet at this time. Shanzi, in particular, was close to the stone, hanging his head and looking at his younger brother, as if he was afraid that if he made a mistake, his younger brother would not be found.

Erkui's family lifted the curtain and stepped into the inner room, and at a glance saw the stone sleeping heavily on the kang, Qiu Chen clearly heard her let out a long breath, and then, Erkui's family couldn't wait to sit on the edge of the kang, reached out and held the stone's little hand, looking at the child's dark and thin little face, tears fell cracklingly.

Because of the fear of disturbing the sleeping child, the Erkui family suppressed the cry, but couldn't suppress the fear and fear that came up from the bottom of their hearts, tears were like a flood that opened the floodgates, surging out, and at the same time, the choking that was suppressed in the throat and chest was also extremely moving.

Qiu Chen didn't step forward to dissuade him, and stretched out his hand to stop Yuxiang. "Let her cry once, it's even more uncomfortable to hold it in your heart if you don't cry!"

Over there, Shanzi was tense from seeing his mother, and he was not punished and scolded, seeing his mother's silent pain, tears also flowed down, but he raised his hand and rubbed it with his sleeve, knelt on the kang and walked a few steps towards Erkui's knee, crying: "Mother, it's me who doesn't take a good look at my brother, you beat me and scold me...... Woohoo......"

Qiu Chen sighed secretly, this kid was just scared and frightened.

Speaking of which, Shanzi is not yet seven years old, what does such an old child know. Not to mention such a big child, adults will inevitably make a mistake for a while! What's more, although Shanzi is naughty and naughty on weekdays, he looks like a big brother, not only for the stone, but also for a few other small ones, this time I really didn't notice it for a while. Didn't she make oil tea for the children and didn't notice that there was a child missing?

Taking a step forward, Qiu Chen pulled Shanzi up, took a cloth towel to wipe away the tears and snot on Shanzi's face, and comforted: "Shanzi, don't cry, it's not all your fault for this today, and Aunt Haitang didn't notice that the stone didn't enter the door...... Shanzi, don't cry, isn't your crying more anxious and distressing? Quickly wipe your tears and persuade your mother. If you cry again, it will be time to wake up the stone! ”

Hearing Qiu Chen mention his mother and stone, Shanzi held back his tears, wiped his face, his eyes and nose were red, but he showed a resolute face, and said to Qiu Chen: "Aunt Xiexie Begonia!" ”

As he spoke, he knelt down on the kang, knocked her three times before Qiu Chen reacted, and then said, "Aunt Xiexie Haitang saved the stone!" ”

At this moment, the Erkui family also passed the initial excitement, listened to Shanzi's words in a daze, and looked at Qiu Chen with tears on his face.

Shanzi said: "Mother, it was Aunt Haitang who jumped into the water to save the stone!" ”

"Ouch, Begonia, you, are you okay?" The first time the Erkui family reacted was to ask about Qiu Chen's situation.

Qiu Chen helped her to sit down, took a cloth towel and handed it to her, and said with a smile: "Look at it, this is not good, what can it be, it's just a wet clothes." Wipe your face and your tears. It's good that the child is fine, and they all say that after the catastrophe, there will be a blessing. Although the stone was taken aback, this hurdle has also been passed, and this child must be blessed and blessed in the future! ”

When she said this, the Erkui family was also relieved, and the tears on his face did not go away, but he hung a smile: "Accept your auspicious words, if this child is blessed, it is also your blessing!" ”

Then, Yuxiang also smiled and whispered a few words, then got up and went to work in the backyard. Qiu Chen appeased the Erkui family, and asked her and Shanzi to guard the stone, she took a few small ones out together, brewed oil tea, sent two bowls to the Erkui family's mother, and brought them to the low table in the courtyard for a few children, so that they could sit around and drink.

"Drink, after drinking, it's time to start writing, I haven't written today's words yet!"

Aman leaned timidly on her, tugged at her sleeve and asked softly: "Mother, the stone does not die!" ”

When she asked this, Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, and looked up at the children with a little panic, knowing that several children were frightened by the stone falling into the water, he reached out and hugged Ah Man in his arms, patted the little girl, and touched the other children, smiling and comforting: "Don't be afraid, the stone is fine." Your brother Quan and Brother Lin Zi have already gone to invite Langzhong, and when Langzhong comes to show the stone, the stone will be fine. ”

Speaking of this, he felt that he was taking this opportunity to educate his children, so he said: "You can remember in the future, when you play again, you should be far away from the pond, and you don't dare to go to the edge of the pond." ”

The children nodded their heads together, and their expressions were very solemn.

Although the children agreed very well at this time, Qiu Chen also knew that the children were young after all, and sometimes they remembered these things when they played...... What's more, sometimes accidents happen, just like today's stone, Ben can't complain about the child!

It seems that the gap by the pond should not be thrown away like that, and the one to be repaired should be repaired as soon as possible, otherwise it will really become a hidden danger to safety.

It's April 20 today, and the opening time agreed with Pan Jiaqing is early May. Seeing that the children have no constraints every day, I still discussed with the village and went to the county seat to discuss with Mr. Pan whether the school could be opened earlier, so that the children could not only read and write earlier, but also have a constraint, and the people in the village of the province would be busy, and the children would have any accidents.

Thinking in her heart, Qiu Chen watched the children finish eating the oil tea and let them start reading and writing on the low table in the courtyard, and she returned to the backyard.

Today, there is already a shortage of manpower, the work is tight, and there is such a thing, the crushing and frying of healing drugs is just a big deal, and the construction period is postponed by one day, but the Luo Buma collected on the same day must be fried and dried on the same day, otherwise it can turn yellow and discolored overnight, and lose the effect of the drug!

When I arrived in the backyard, only Yuxiang and Da Zhuang Junwen and Junyan Junzhang were busy, and Liu Zhanxiang was worried and followed the main gate of the village. Qiu Chen simply asked Junyan Junzhang to help collect the healing medicine materials that were being crushed and send them back to the east wing. Let a limited number of people fry Luo Bu Ma with all their might!

Qiu Chen and Junwen stir-fried together, while Yuxiang and Da Zhuang and Junyan Junzhang kneaded, dried, and flipped......

After being so busy for most of the hour, the bolt flew into the backyard to report: "Aunt Begonia, Aunt Begonia, Lang Zhong is here!" ”

Qiu Chen took away the fried pot of Luobu hemp, handed the dustpan to Yuxiang to knead and roll, and she hurriedly washed her hands and went to the front yard.

When she returned to the front yard, Brother Quan's voice shouting at the gate sounded at the gate, and Qiu Chen hurriedly went out of the door.

Mr. Zhao from the Rejuvenation Hall had already gotten out of the carriage, and with him, there was also a young man from the Rejuvenation Hall, carrying Mr. Zhao's medicine box on his back, and carrying a basket, which contained a bag of medicinal materials that Mr. Zhao might use when he touched the water, and was ready to catch the medicine directly after the diagnosis.

Qiu Chen hurriedly greeted him, exchanged a few words with Mr. Zhao, and led Mr. Zhao into the main room.

The stone hadn't woken up yet, Qiu Chen looked at the stone's little face, fortunately, he slept red, but there was no sign of fever.

Mr. Zhao gave the stone diagnosis and said that the treatment was timely, and there was no sign of wind chill, but listening to the slight sound of the child's breathing, it was estimated that the lungs were still choking, and the child was inevitably frightened when he fell into the water, so Mr. Zhao prescribed a prescription to calm the convulsion and nourish the lungs, and instructed him to pay close attention to three days, and not to let the child go out and strenuous activities within three days, and it would be fine within three days, and there would be no major problem.

After reading the stone, Qiu Chen called Junwen again and asked Mr. Zhao to show it. Junwen has a good foundation, and he only wet his calves, so there is nothing to hinder him, and Mr. Zhao didn't even give him a prescription.

It just so happened that Liu Zhanxiang and Man Ho and his party came back. Although Liu Zhanxiang didn't go into the water, he also carried Qiu Chen into the door, and his back was also wet at the time, so no one cared about it, so he wore wet clothes and dried them like that. Qiu Chen asked Mr. Zhao to show him again, fortunately, Liu Zhanxiang's body is strong and there is nothing serious, but Mr. Zhao also said that there are slight signs of dampness and cold entering the body, so he still takes a few pills to dispel dampness and cold, and he also grabbed the medicine.

Junwen and Junzhang also said that Qiu Chen also went into the water and wanted Mr. Zhao to show her too, Qiu Chen felt that there was nothing unusual, so he smiled and refused that it was late, Qiu Chen left Mr. Zhao to eat, and Mr. Zhao saw that everyone in the Lin family was busy, so he laughed and resigned, and still let Brother Quan and Lin Zi drive the carriage to send Mr. Zhao back.

When Luo Buma finished frying, the twilight sank, and Erkui drove the carriage and carried the people of Qinghe's family back to Liujiaao.

As soon as he entered the village, Er Kui heard people say that the stone had fallen into the water, and his face changed in shock, and he couldn't care about the people who sent the car, and those people also consciously got off the car and walked home by themselves, leaving Er Kui to drive the carriage and rush back with Lan Ying and Qingshan's family. When he saw his youngest son lying on the Lin family's kang, but his eyes were clear and his smile was cheerful, Er Kui rushed up and hugged his son into his arms.

Lan Ying and the Qingshan family took Erkui's daughter-in-law to express a few words of condolences, and after making sure that the stone was fine, they also went out and left the space in the house to Erkui's family.

After a while, the two of them held two medicine bowls, gave them to Shi and Liu Zhanxiang, and paused for a while to make sure that neither of them had a fever and other secondary symptoms, and everyone was completely relieved.

Just now, Mr. Zhao was there, and it was not good to ask about the results of the stone falling into the water, at this time the outsiders were gone, and the stone looked at it without much trouble, so everyone sat in the courtyard and talked about it by the faint starlight.

The result of the matter was somewhat unexpected by Qiu Chen, not only did the same acquaintance not bully others, but took the initiative to admit his mistake, apologized, and took out twenty taels of silver to Erkui's family, so that the child could get medicine and see a doctor.

Twenty taels of silver is nothing in the hands of the same acquaintance, and it may not be enough for him to order a dish, but in the hands of the villagers, he feels that it is a great fortune.

With these twenty taels of silver, the people in the village changed the direction of the wind and praised the people who knew the son for cherishing the poor and loving the young, and being knowledgeable...... He was praised as a peerless good person!

Qiu Chen saw that Erkui was talking about the same acquaintance, and he also admired it, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. These simple villagers really don't even have the slightest chance of winning against the scheming, rich and powerful officials.

However, since the stone is fine, she will not say anything to spoil the fun, and simply smiles: "The stone is fine." ”

What should have been said was said, and it was time to be busy, and everyone found that it was dark, but everyone had not eaten. Qiu Chen also said that she would leave everyone to eat, but no one was willing to let her work anymore, so they all smiled and said goodbye. Qiu Chen hurriedly cleaned up, took a group of children, and ate with Lao He Liu Sanhe.

After cleaning up the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks, the children went into the house to read and write, Qiu Chen would study with the children every night, but tonight, she couldn't calm down no matter what.

Today's events made her feel a deep powerlessness.

Once, she abandoned her parents as a little orphan girl who only followed her grandmother, and worked hard to become a scholar respected by everyone, although the difference between social classes had not been completely eliminated at that time, nor could the disparity between the rich and the poor be eliminated...... But after all, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can live an upright life, live a good life, don't want to look at other people's faces, and you can ignore anyone, of course, provided that you abide by the law and don't do things that harm society.

But here, in the era when there is no network, no modern means of communication, and indifference to human feelings, the pity between people and people's dependence on society are much closer. This makes it impossible to avoid negotiations and contacts with all kinds of people in order to survive in this era.

The people in the village maintain each other and care for each other, she has experienced; She has also learned some of the gossip behind the scenes, and she is confident that she can deal with them calmly...... From today's events, she can still see that with the development of the Lin family and the continuous expansion of her pharmaceutical and drug sales voice, the people she wants to contact are no longer limited to the small mountain village of Liujiaao. There were Liao Wenqing, Qin Zheng, and Hong Zhanpeng before...... Now there is that hypocritical fellow intellectual......

It's time for her to think about how she can cope with these increasingly complex relationships.

×××××××××××××

Lin Xu and Xu Changwen leaned on the door frame of the carriage respectively, and at the same time covered their respective sore places and inhaled, and before the two of them could react, they heard Junshu's exclamation from under the car: "What's wrong with you?" Wake up! ”

Lin Xu and Xu Changwen were excited at the same time, and they couldn't care about the pain on their bodies, Lin Xu reached out and grabbed the carriage and got up, used his hands and feet to get out of the carriage and got on the wheel, and looked along Junshu's voice, and saw that Junshu was pulling a cloud of dusty things, calling urgently.

At this time, Yang Shumeng also grabbed the carriage and jumped out of the carriage and rushed over. He didn't bother to look at Junshu under the car, he only reached out to hold Lin Xu's arm and asked, "Brother Xu, how is it?" Did you hit somewhere? ”

Lin Xu was stunned, and his reaction was still a little slow, but he still subconsciously shook his head, signaled that he was fine, pulled the poplar tree and pointed to the Junshu in front of the car, and stumbled: "Okay, it seems to have hit someone......"

Yang Shu glanced at Lin Xu's fingers, and was also frightened, but he still patted Lin Xu's shoulder and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, Brother Xu don't have to be afraid." I'll take a look, it's all right......"

It's not just that Yang Shumeng's appeasement has played a role, Lin Xu also gradually came to his senses, and said repeatedly: "Second brother, don't worry about me, and go see Junshu!" ”

Yang Shu responded sharply, let go of Lin Xu, walked to the horse in a few steps, and leaned over to check the handsome book and the gray flutter that could not be seen in shape.

At this moment, the front and rear convoys also stopped, and Liao Hai and Li Zhenbei also rushed towards the Lin family's car one after another.

Lin Xu came to his senses, Xu Changwen also struggled to get up, hung one arm softly, and bowed out of the carriage: "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Xu shook his head, "Sir, you wait a minute, the student gets out of the car and goes to have a look!" ”

said, I wanted to help people, but was stopped by Xu Changwen: "I'm fine, how about your injury?" Can I get off the bus? ”

Lin Xu pressed the back of his aching shoulder, and his shoulder also hurt because of the huge force of grabbing the carriage, but the movement was fine, and there should be no major injury, so he shook his head and said, "The student is fine." Mr.'s arm? ”

Xu Changwen also shook his head with a smile: "It should be that the tendons are stretched, and it is not a big deal." ”

Lin Xu nodded, jumped out of the carriage with the wheel, and went over to inspect Junshu's situation.

At this time, Yang Shumeng had already helped Junshu up, and the one lying on the ground had also been turned over, although it was covered with dust and grass clippings, it could still be seen that it was a half-grown child who was not very old and thin. It's just that his hair is scattered, and the unkempt flutter is scattered, covering most of his face, and he can only see that his eyes are closed, but he can barely see what his appearance is.

Yang Shu held his breath and stretched out his hand to reach the end of the child's nose, and the slightest hint of hot breath made Yang Shuyong exhale a long breath.

Fortunately, the child's breath is quite stable, and the injury should not be serious. As for why there was no response for a long time, I guess I was stunned!

"Dad, what's going on? Are you still alive? Junshu leaned on the wheel of the car and asked anxiously.

Yang Shuyong nodded: "Well, well, it's okay, I should be stunned!" Carry him into the car and undress him before you can see the extent of the injury. ”

Junshu and Lin Xu hurriedly agreed, getting out of the way, so that Yang Shumeng could carry the child to the car.

"Wait!" Liao Hai rushed over and spoke out to stop him.

"The big shopkeeper?" Poplar turned around and asked suspiciously.

Liao Hai coughed and looked back at Li Zhenbei. Li Zhenbei understood, and immediately beckoned to the stewards, workers and dart masters who gathered around: "It's okay, it's okay, check the vehicle, and get ready to go!" ”

Before Li Zhenbei's voice fell, a dart master immediately followed and passed the message to the end of the convoy, and those stewards and workers immediately dispersed, returned to their respective vehicles, checked the carriages and horses, and prepared to continue on the road.

After dispersing the crowd, Li Zhenbei stepped forward, ignoring the child held by Yang Shumeng, only reached out and tore off Junshu and Lin Xu's clothes, checked the injury, and went to the carriage to ask about Mr. Xu's injury.

He was busy here, and Liao Hai also approached Yang Shumeng and said in a low voice, "This kid appears here...... One of the strange ......"

Yang Shumeng's heart was shocked, his hand trembled, and he almost threw away the child he was holding in his arms.

Yes, how did he relent, and when he saw the child, he completely forgot where he was. This is about to enter the mountain, in the north mountain, it is rumored that there are thirty-six cottages, there are thirty-six road bandits, the north of the mountain connects the grassland desert, there is a legend that can stop the children's night cry of the horse bandits all over the sky, the legend, the clouds are a horse and two horses, the whole body is red clothes and red cloaks, whistling back and forth, such as the sky full of red clouds, but, after the red clouds are rolling, it is said that even the babies and cats and dogs in the swaddling clothes are not spared, the end is ruthless and cruel, and there is no one left alive!

Since I walked out of the eighteen-mile shop, I have walked for half an hour, and I have not seen a single shadow, and the child Weishenme appeared here, and he just bumped into Junshu's carriage......

If you don't want to, it's just that, after thinking about it, the doubts will come out, which makes Yang Shumeng more and more frightened the more he thinks about it.

"Big shopkeeper, then, this ......" The first time he encountered this kind of thing, Yang Shumeng had no idea at all.

Liao Hai squinted his eyes and stared at the child who was silently lying in Yang Shumeng's arms, was silent for a moment, and waved his hand: "Send it to my car!" ”

"Whoa, whoa!" Yang Shumeng hugged the child, it was like holding a hot potato, and when he heard Liao Hairang send it to his car, he hurriedly agreed, ran over, and put the child in the carriage. Although he was suspicious in his heart, Yang Shumeng was kind and simple after all, and when he put the child into the carriage, he still pulled a blanket and padded it to him.

Putting down the child, Yang Shu looked at the child who was still not awake, sighed, and muttered in a low voice: "Alas, if you are not a spy of the mountain bandits, you will follow the convoy honestly, and it will not be difficult for you to come to the shopkeeper of Liaoda, and you will naturally be sent home on the return trip......"

After speaking, he turned around and was about to get out of the car, but he didn't take a step, but his leg was hugged from behind. Yang Shumeng lowered his head and patted his hand: "I'm just a car driver, I can't help you." You followed the shopkeeper Liao, okay haode, my brothers and nephews were injured by you, and I have to go back to see it! ”

The little screamer seemed to understand, hesitated and let go of his hand, slowly curled up, shrank into the corner of the carriage, and watched as the tall figure of the poplar tree bowed down and walked out of the carriage.
