Chapter 122: Brother and Sister
Under the curious eyes of the other villagers, Yang Laoshi smelled the smell of this traditional Chinese medicine, then looked at Wangcai on the side, and said, "Wangcai, do you know where this medicinal smell wafted from?" ”
More than 20 households are located in Niulan Village, and Yang Laoshi is certainly reluctant to go door-to-door to inquire when it is not necessary, so as not to be mistaken for thieves or have bad intentions.
Hearing Yang Laoshi's words, Wangcai sniffed, and then called out to Yang Laoshi twice: "Wang! ”
The voice fell, and Wangcai ran forward, and Yang Laoshi followed.
When Wangcai stopped, what appeared in front of Yang Laoshi was a thatched hut, which was much worse than other houses built of mud in the village.
Looking around, Yang Laoshi found that there was only such a thatched house in the entire Niulan Village, because it was located at the back, when he was at the gate of the village before, Yang Laoshi had not found it.
Looking at the thatched house in front of him, Yang Laoshi couldn't help but have a feeling in his heart, if there was a storm, this thatched house didn't know if it could survive.
Standing outside the house, Yang Laoshi clearly felt that the taste of boiling Chinese medicine was much stronger than before.
"I think this is it." Yang honestly muttered to himself and walked to the door to knock.
I just knocked on it, but before I could open my mouth, the "door" made of wooden sticks and some straw opened on its own.
Everything inside suddenly appeared in Yang Laoshi's sight.
The cottage could not be more shabby, with a few simple and dilapidated pieces of furniture in it. It is very simple, but it is very clean, which shows that the owner of this thatched house is a person who loves cleanliness very much.
As soon as the door opened, a pungent smell of medicine entered Yang Laoshi's nose, and the smell of medicinal soup was even stronger than standing outside the house before.
In the small room, a young girl was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and another young man was tormenting something in front of a small stove made of clay, holding a puff fan in his hand, and constantly fanning the wind against the stove.
The strong smell of Chinese medicine escapes from the medicine jar on the stove.
This man and a woman are the two brothers and sisters that Yang Laoshi has seen before!
When Yang Laoshi's eyes fell on the two brothers and sisters, his appearance also attracted the attention of the two brothers and sisters.
The younger sister showed curiosity in her eyes, and the older brother showed vigilance in her eyes. And Yang Laoshi showed embarrassment.
He thought that the two siblings might have opened a pharmacy at home, or that the two siblings were clerks in one pharmacy, so they would go up the mountain to collect medicines, and he also wanted to use this clue to see if the pharmacy where the two siblings were located had the medicinal materials they needed.
After all, Niulan Village is not far from the mountain range he came from, and some precious medicinal materials can often be found in the deep mountains and old forests, so Yang Laoshi has the idea of trying his luck.
But the scene in front of him made him a little disappointed in his heart, he obviously thought too much, the two brothers and sisters did not run a pharmacy at home, nor were they clerks in any pharmacy, because Yang Laoshi came all the way and did not find any pharmacy in Niulan Village, not even the most basic health station, how could he be the clerk of the pharmacy.
Therefore, if you want to try your luck in their hands, in the eyes of Yang Laoshi at this time, it is obviously a little unworkable.
"Huh! Aren't you the big brother who just had a picnic on the hillside! That's right! Where's your strange tall box? ”
The girl obviously didn't have much defense against outsiders, and after her eyes fell on Yang Laoshi's body, she immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, trotted in front of Yang Laoshi with a curious face, looked left and right, and asked in a somewhat excited tone.
"The ......"
As soon as he heard this, Yang Laoshi couldn't find a reasonable lie for a while, and the embarrassment in his heart couldn't help but be a little serious.
At this time, the girl's brother came behind him, pulled the girl who was a little excited behind him, looked at Yang Laoshi with a serious expression, and asked, "Who are you?" What are you doing at our house? ”
The young man asked very directly, without beating around the bush. His expression was serious, and he didn't seem to have much kindness towards Yang Laoshi, but Yang Laoshi didn't feel malicious in his body.
Because, no matter how serious its expression is, the human eye can speak.
From the eyes of the youth, what he saw was vigilance and vigilance, as well as rejection of outsiders.
At this point, Yang Laoshi believes that he has not looked away, if this is all blind, then Yang Laoshi can only say that the young man in front of him is an existence more suitable for being an actor than Miao Xiaochun.
"That...... Then my name is Yang Er, you can call me Yang Honest. Yang Laoshi first introduced himself.
He came a little abruptly, and it can even be said to be reckless, even if Yang Laoshi is thick-skinned, but in the face of these two brothers and sisters who have no grievances with him, he still feels a little embarrassed about his behavior, so when he introduces himself, he is a little hesitant.
What Yang Laoshi didn't expect was that after he reported his name and got a name for himself, the two siblings didn't react much.
The girl still looked at her curiously, and the young man's gaze was still wary.
"I'll go! This name, which everyone thought was funny, became no joy at all in front of these two siblings. Yang honestly wondered in his heart.
"You haven't said what you're doing here?" The young man continued to ask.
"Huh?" Yang Laoshi came back to his senses from his thoughts, and then immediately reacted, and said, "I saw your two brothers and sisters carrying herbs in their medicine baskets on the hillside before, and I guess that your two brothers and sisters should have a certain understanding of herbs. It just so happens that I know a little bit about herbal medicine, so I wanted to come over and learn from the two of you. ”
Yang Laoshi said half-truthfully, although he was not telling the truth in his heart, but Yang Laoshi did not have the slightest malice, but Yang Laoshi felt that it was not necessarily a good thing to say the truth in his heart.
Therefore, he did not answer the young man with malicious half-truths.
As soon as Yang Laoshi's words fell, before the young man could speak, the girl behind him said with a look of surprise and excitement: "Big brother, do you know anything about herbal medicine?" That's just great! Do you say it's not brother! ”
Yang Laoshi frowned slightly, he didn't quite understand the meaning of the girl's words, but his brother's face changed slightly, and a low voice came out of his mouth: "Shut up!" ”
The girl stuck out her tongue, had to make a grimace with her back to her brother, and then smiled sweetly at Yang Laoshi.
"Our two siblings don't know much about medicinal herbs, and you saw the herbs in our siblings' medicine basket on the hillside before, which is a home remedy passed down by our elders, and we are familiar with it because we often collect these herbs. We don't know the other herbs, so if you misunderstood, please go back. The young man was unequivocal, not only explained it clearly in one breath, but also ordered Yang Laoshi to expel the guest.
Obviously, he really didn't want to come into contact with Yang Laoshi, or rather, he didn't want to contact outsiders.
Upon hearing this, Yang Laoshi could only smile awkwardly, and said in his mouth: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll leave immediately, hehe." ”
Since you think too much, it is of course best to leave, so as not to make the other party give yourself more embarrassment.
The words fell, and Yang Laoshi turned around and prepared to leave. When the girl behind the young man saw this scene, her face suddenly became anxious, and she said loudly to Yang Laoshi: "Big brother, wait a minute!" ”
The girl's immature voice made Yang honestly pause, turned around, smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
For these two plainly dressed siblings, Yang was honestly close to him from the heart, although his brother was guarding against him, but he could understand this. Moreover, no one else spoke ill of him.
His sister's reaction immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of his brother, and he just wanted to scold his sister again, but he didn't expect that his sister had appeared in front of him, and asked Yang Laoshi with a serious face: "Does the eldest brother really understand herbs?" I mean...... I mean, if the eldest brother knows how to use herbs, does he know how to heal people through herbs? ”
The girl was too young, and her serious expression did not give Yang Laoshi a serious feeling, but made Yang Laoshi feel the innocence that she should have at this age.
"What are you talking about?" My brother was dissatisfied, and he said that he wanted to pull his sister behind him again, but this time the girl didn't follow, and there was a stubborn look on her face!
"Brother! You just let the big brother answer first, okay! ”
