"Don't talk about that, how does your body feel now?"

Fan Ming frowned and said, "I feel fine, after every acupuncture, my whole body is itching to death, hasn't it happened again for so long?" Grandpa Zhang said that it was not good, and he had to be treated. It's not the end of the day. She had already said it to Xingrushui several times, but Xingrushui didn't agree.

Zhang Taiping smiled and said nothing, of course he knew why there was no seizure during this time, not because he had been cured, but because of the water he drank and the environment he was in: "You better be patient and treat, don't think nonsense." ”

Fan Ming's face wrinkled into bitter melon color.

Then Zhang Taiping found the old man, who was sorting out the herbs on the medicine shelf behind the desk. Although he promised Zhang Taiping that he was away from home, the old man rarely went to the place where Zhang Taiping lived in the front house, and most of the time he was still outside, either picking medicine in the mountains or leading Ah Huang to pick some small game.

Now the old man has gone down the mountain again, and the people in the village will come to let the old man take a look at any illness, and they all know that the old man does not charge money from the people in the village when he is sick, and no one does not hand over the money without interest, but brings some other local products, either commonly used things, or mountain goods or medicinal materials collected in the mountains.

"Grandpa, how is Fan Ming's illness now?" Zhang Taiping asked.

The old man pondered for a while and replied, "It's strange. ”

Regarding the old man's statement, Zhang Taiping was a little conjectural, so he asked, "What's a strange method?" ”

The old man pushed through the small drawers arranged on the medicine shelf and said, "I told you that I have seen such a patient before. The treatment for this disease takes a long time, and the condition may gradually lessen before it is cured, but it will never be as completely free as she is now. I deliberately and carefully diagnosed it several times, and her condition was indeed still there, but it was suppressed for some reason. I couldn't find a reason to suppress her condition. ”

Although the old man had never seen the space spring, he relied on his superb medical skills to explain its effect. Zhang Taiping knew that the reason why Fan Ming's illness did not recur when he was in his own house and he was like a normal person was because of the space spring water and a series of items derived from it.

"This is a good thing, as long as the condition is restrained, wouldn't it be better to be cured!" Zhang Taiping said.

"It's not necessarily a good thing, there are too many unknowns without finding the cause, who knows what kind of effect this substance will be in the next stage, so you can't prescribe it hastily." The old man has practiced medicine all his life, and as the saying goes, he has seen more things than Zhang Taiping eats salt, and he will not be rashly moved until he finally finds out.

Zhang Taiping could only pick up some good comfort, and he didn't dare to say things too surely in front of the old man. A person who is like water can guess that it is because of himself that Fan Ming's condition has been suppressed, and if he talks too much in front of the old man, it is easier to arouse suspicion. The old man is old, but his eyes and heart are still bright, and after a few decades, he will not be covered, and if he is not careful, he may be caught, and the problem is his own.

"What herbs do you need if you want to be cured?" Zhang Taiping cared.

"You don't care about this, you can't find it. I think the background of the little girl is not simple, most of the medicines can be found, as for the few, it depends on luck. It's not a big deal if you can't find it, just replace it with other medicinal materials, but the effect is worse, but it's barely okay. ”

Zhang Taiping was choked, touched his nose and withdrew from the room.

"Dad, Dad" Zhang Taiping was about to find something to do, when Yaya's shout came. The figure of the little girl came in, followed by the little girl every day.

Zhang Taiping asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Oh, look what this is!" As he spoke, he lifted the thing in his hand for Zhang Taiping to see.

When I looked down, I saw a matchbox on my white and tender little hands, and some small insects were crawling in it, some were still black, and some were already white.

"This is a silkworm?" Zhang Taiping took the small box in his hand and asked, he was not very sure, he had never seen it before.

Yaya nodded her little head: "Well, this is the silkworm that the sunspot gave me and every day." Tian Tian also handed over the matchbox in his hand.

Heizi is the stunned boy who roasted potatoes with a whole pile of wheat straw at the instigation of Wang Laogun, and he doesn't know where these silkworms came from. Now there is no one in the village to raise silkworms, in the spring only the children will rummage through the cabinets to find some of the silkworm eggs that were saved last year, raise them for a year, witness the whole growth process, and wait until the last butterfly to lay eggs and then save the eggs and continue to raise them next year. This is a cycle of silkworm farming.

The children have a strong interest in this, Yaya looked at Zhang Taiping who was still looking at the silkworm in the box, and asked, "Dad, what do you feed the silkworm?" ”

Zhang Taiping thought about it, searched his memory, and said: "Mulberry leaves and lettuce leaves are fine." "I still remember that if I fed lettuce leaves, they would grow quickly, but in the end, they would easily run out and die." It's better to feed mulberry leaves. ”

"Where are the mulberry leaves?" Yaya raised her head and looked at Zhang Taiping expectantly, there was still an expectation of heaven behind her.

"Let's go, Dad will pick mulberry leaves for you." Zhang Taiping remembered that there was a big mulberry tree on the edge of the village, and people called the mulberry leaves silkworms, and the mulberry trees were also called silkworm trees.

Zhang Taiping took Yaya's little hand, and the eyes of Tian Tian behind him showed envy, and he lowered his head and prepared to follow behind. Zhang Taiping stretched out his hand, and the little girl was stunned.

"Hurry up every day." Yaya shouted on the other side. Xiao Tiantian timidly stretched out his hand and was held by Zhang Taiping's big hand. Now she no longer looks like she used to have a dirty face, and occasionally Fan Ming will tie a few pigtails for her and Yaya, and a clear smile blooms on her face at this time, which can melt the heart of any father.

For her, her father only appears in dreams, when others are coquettish in her father's arms, the little girl can only show an envious expression, and sometimes when she is ridiculed by those honest boys as a child without a father, she always finds a big tree behind her stomach and cries, and then washes her little face in the river and goes home. Because if she cried and returned home, her mother would hug her and cry when she saw it, so she was sensible and didn't want her mother to be sad, so she would wash her face every day before going back.

Zhang Taiping pulled a happy little girl on the left and right in his hand and walked towards the silkworm tree at the edge of the village.

Hey, there are quite a few people in here, and there is a bunch of carefree people around the big mulberry tree. This big mulberry tree is a little old, Zhang Taiping stretched out his arms to hug it, these boys will definitely not be able to climb up, they can only hook down with a pole below. However, the tree is so tall that the pole can only reach a small part of the bottom, and the large number above can only be seen.

When Zhang Taiping came over, several boys were stacking arhats to send a boy to a high place. However, there was no place to start on the tree, and a bunch of boys couldn't climb it.

"My dad can pick silkworm leaves." When the girl arrived, she shouted proudly to the group of boys. Every day next to him is also a look of honor.

After hearing Yaya's words, the boys brushed the ground to get out of the way, Zhang Taiping rubbed his hand and said to Yaya: "Look at Dad picking silkworm leaves with you!" ”

Climb up the tree with the dexterity of a tree, stand on the trunk that can bear its weight, and break off the leafy branches next to it and throw it down.

The children below all gathered around, but no one dared to snatch the silkworm leaves thrown down by Zhang Taiping. Yaya left a part for herself and Tiantian, and then distributed the rest to the boys gathered around, and gave some extra silkworm leaves to the sunspot who gave them silkworms.

Zhang Taiping broke for a while and then climbed down from the tree, he broke the branch not blindly, but purposefully did not damage the main body of the mulberry tree, it was regarded as pruning the mulberry tree.

After coming down, he said, "Kuroko, do you still have silkworms here?" ”

It's just that the sunspot, who is half a head taller than Yaya, saw Zhang Taiping asking, and quickly took out a ball of newspaper from his arms. Children like things that they want to tie to their bodies with ropes. He also knows that silkworms need warmth when they hatch and silkworms, and hiding them well can not only keep them warm but also not afraid of losing them.

Zhang Taiping opened the newspaper, and inside was a ball of cotton, and inside the cotton was a densely packed newspaper full of silkworms the size of a palm.

"There's a lot of cotton, where did it come from?" Zhang Taiping asked casually, divided the silkworm into two halves, took half of it himself, and returned the other half.

Kuroko took the silkworm wrapped in cotton and stuffed it into his arms and said, "This is taken out of the quilt." ”

Zhang Taiping was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Aren't you afraid that your mother will clean you up?" ”

"I took a needle and thread and sewed up the opening again."

Zhang Taiping was speechless, this kid is really clever. He put the silkworms in his pocket and put them in the space, but he was going to raise some in them. He didn't know what could make the space evolve one step further, so whenever he felt something new, he would take in some of them.

After going back, Zhang Taiping picked off the mulberry leaves and put them in a pocket and put them next to the bucket, which could not only moisturize but also keep them fresh. The small matchbox must not be used, so a bamboo basket was re-woven for the two of them to raise silkworms.
