The car was only driving until dawn, and Situ Yan found that San Lang began to have a fever, and the wound was indeed infected. Busy asked Li Dalang to drive the mule cart to the grove by the post road.

"Little Five, is Xiao San's injury serious?" Li Dalang looked at the little sister who kept wiping her forehead for San Lang, and was very worried.

"Well, it's a little burning. The second brother and the fourth brother lit the stove and boiled medicine for the third brother. While instructing the two of them, he reworked Saburo's wounds. After a while, the medicine had been decocted and fed to San Lang, and then he continued to hurry.

"Little Wu, why don't you find a village to live in for a while? Let Saburo heal his injuries first? Li Dalang snorted uncomfortably when he saw San Lang, and he was anxious.

"I'm afraid it's difficult to have a house to live in in this part of Xindu County, so I can hurry up and find a village before nightfall." It's not that Situ Yan doesn't want to borrow a village to live in, it's really that this place is too close to Xindu County, even if there is a village, I'm afraid that the house will collapse and be destroyed.

Rushed until the sun set and the sun was full of sunset, only to see a rammed path on the side of the post road, although the road was uneven, but at least it could catch up with the mule cart, Situ Yan hurriedly asked Li Dalang to drive the car in, along the dirt road all the way to the west, until it was dark, Erlang and Shiro raised the torches, and rushed close for an hour, only to see a village.

There was a faint sound of dogs barking, and several families in the village were still holding lamps, apparently inhabited. Entering the village, Situ Yan looked at the house, and saw that there was a slight crack on the wall, but the house was not tilted, and it was barely inhabitable. Although there is a phenomenon of fever reduction after using medicine, Chinese herbal medicine comes slowly, and the best recovery in the disease is rest. Moreover, the temperature drops sharply at night, and it is not suitable to travel with patients.

Trying to find a farmhouse with the lights still on, Situ Yan handed over San Lang who was lying in her arms to Shiro, and then got out of the car, her legs were numb and she almost fell unsteadily, but Da Lang pulled her up.

"Little Five, be careful!"

"It's okay, big brother, don't be nervous, it's just that your legs are a little numb after sitting for a long time." Xu is Li Dalang's screams were a little loud, and there was a coughing sound from the village, and the door of the main house was opened a crack.

Situ Yan hurriedly shouted inside through the fence wall, "Is anyone home?" My brother and sister are in a hurry, my brother is infected with the cold, and I have no choice but to spend the night with you! ”

Before Situ Yan could finish speaking, the door of the house slammed and closed again, Situ Yan tried to scream twice, and even the lights in the house went out.

"Big brother, it seems that this family is unwilling to take us in, so let's go to another house and ask!" Li Dalang couldn't help it, they weren't ringing horses, and they couldn't forcibly occupy other people's houses for people to take in. Just as I was about to catch the car, I saw movement in the yard next to the house.

There was a burst of "Crunch! Situ Yan could see that this was an old man, but it was too dark, and the people were still in the yard.

Someone opened the courtyard door, and Situ Yan saw clearly that it was an old woman of sixty or seventy years old, dressed in gray linen clothes, and her thin body swayed in the wind. Situ Yan hurriedly stepped forward to help.

The old woman took Situ Yan's hand, and her voice trembled a little, "The babies are fleeing!" If you don't dislike it, just rest with me for the night. This black light blinds the fire, and other people's houses dare not open the door. I am at home with the old man in charge, and there is nothing to be afraid of. Situ Yan heard that this old woman had a northeastern accent in her words, and she was overjoyed.

"Thank you, auntie!" Only then did Da Lang carry San Lang on his back and follow the old woman into a room on the east side. The gate of the courtyard was too small for the mule cart to enter, so the cart had to be unloaded on the edge of the courtyard gate, and only the mule was driven into the courtyard.

The house was pitch black, Situ Yan took out the oil lamp from the back basket and lit it, and then took a look, the thatched roof was a little broken, and there were many cracks on the wall because of the earthquake or disrepair, but the house was still clean, as if it had just been cleaned, and there was no dust.

Situ Yan first went to the kang and spread a straw mat, then settled San Lang, added a quilt to him, and asked Erlang to light a stove in the courtyard, planning to boil medicine for San Lang.

The old woman kept watching, didn't help, didn't ask carefully, there was no movement in the main room, not even the lights were lit, and the old man in the old woman's mouth didn't come out. Situ Yan settled San Lang first, waited for the time to boil the medicine, and looked at the wound again, and then had time to chat with the old man sitting on the side.

"Auntie, it's inconvenient to disturb late at night!" Situ Yan saluted the old woman, and then realized that she was talking too much, I was afraid that this woman would not understand, so she hurriedly explained, "The third brother is sick, thank you for taking us in!" ”

"Hey, what's polite, yesterday the dragon turned over, I'm afraid this baby's injury was caused at that time! It's also a shame that you were able to escape, because there are several families in our village whose men have gone to the county town to find work, and there is not even an idea at this time. The old woman was a little nagging, Situ Yan learned from her words that the man's surname was Qin, who was seventy years old this year, and had no children or daughters in the family.

The old man's family has long been out of official land, so they all point to a few plots of land in the backyard to grow some vegetables and exchange some money for money. Daddy Qin's legs are afraid of the cold, and he can only cats on the kang in winter, and he can't even go down to the ground. The two of them can't even eat black noodles, and if they can eat some bran and wheat bran, it is considered delicious.

Situ Yan was a little sad when she heard it, kindness is rewarded, the two old men can give them a room and take them in when they are most helpless, and she Situ Yan will naturally reciprocate.

"Aunt Qin, I have a few cakes here, you take them first, let's take care of them here, it's not too early, you just rest first, and when the morning dawns, let's go and say goodbye to Uncle Qin."

"Where is this, I don't have anything to entertain in this house, how can I still ask you for good food. I'm a sick old man, but I can't afford this, so you can rest well. Aunt Qin said that she didn't want anything, and even pushed back to the house.

Situ Yan didn't force it, just now the medicine was decoctioned, first feed San Lang, and when San Lang sweated, the burning gradually subsided, and then with the light of the torch, he burned a large pot of bud gnocchi soup, first asked Li Dalang to send two bowls to Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin, and fed San Lang more than half a bowl, and then several people were full and rested.

On the kang in the main room, Uncle Qin was chatting with Aunt Qin, and on the kang table in front of him were two bowls of pimple soup sent by Li Dalang, "Old woman, you can take a closer look, don't those babies be any villains?" ”

"I'm a house, what's there to worry about. I look at these babies are all good, people stutter at night, and I still think about us, if you can have this heart, the heart can't be black. ”

"That's right, I'll taste this pimple soup first." Only then did Uncle Qin pick up the bowl with peace of mind, and took a sip, "Old woman, come and taste it, why do I eat it like bud grain noodles?" ”

Aunt Qin listened, and hurriedly picked up the bowl and took a big sip, "Ouch, old man, it's true, I don't remember when I ate this bud grain noodles, it seems that I beat the second boy and left, and I can't even eat black noodles at home, which can be blessed by a few babies." ”

The two didn't speak again, Aunt Qin was reluctant to drink, so she took a sip and put it aside, thinking about keeping it for the old man to make up for his body.

"Hey, old woman, don't stay, I can't stand you, I don't enjoy a day's happiness, and I will endure hardships with me. It's rare to get this delicious food today, so you can eat it while it's hot, even if we die tomorrow, I can feel less guilty in my heart. ”

"What are you talking about, I married into your old Qin family, that life is a person from your family, and death is a ghost of your family." Aunt Qin wiped her tears and didn't say anything more, for fear that the old man would feel uncomfortable, so she drank the pimple soup with a bowl, and the two muttered a few more words, and then fell asleep.

Before dawn the next day, Situ Yan heard movement in the courtyard. I tried Saburo's body temperature again, and when I saw that it was normal, I moved my stiff body and got off the kang. In order to take care of San Lang last night, she sat all night, and Li Dalang accompanied her at first, but she didn't sleep for a day and a night, where could she still survive, and she fell asleep on the kang before she was ugly.

"Morning aunt!" When Situ Yan came out of the East Chamber, she saw Aunt Qin collecting firewood in the courtyard.

"Baby, I just saw that it was cold and tight, and the fire in the kang stove in your house was small, and I thought about adding some firewood, but it woke you up."

"No, I took care of my third brother yesterday and didn't sleep. Auntie, don't be polite to me. ”

"You kid feels sorry for your brother!"

"Auntie, I'm not a boy, I'm a girl. We fled all the way from the north, and we all relied on my brothers to take care of us all the way, otherwise I would not have starved to death and died of exhaustion. ”

"Look at me this old dizzy, I thought you were a boy when I saw you wearing a boy's clothes. It's also your kindness. ”

Situ Yan chatted with Aunt Qin for a few more words, and when she saw that the sky was bright, Erlang and the others also got up. Da Lang Xu was tired for half a night last night, but he got up an hour later than Erlang. Situ Yan fed San Lang medicine, fed breakfast, and told Da Lang to look at San Lang and ask Erlang and Shilang to help Aunt Qin carry water and collect firewood, and then fell on the kang and squinted for a while.

When Situ Yan fell asleep, San Lang called Shiro, "Little Four, am I tired of Xiao Wu from this disease?" ”

"Third brother, you beat me up, if it weren't for me, where would you suffer this crime, Xiao Wu wouldn't be tired like this, it's all my fault." Shiro blames himself all the time, and even gives himself a few slaps when he thinks about it.

"Didn't I say it all, I was careless, don't mention this in the future, I'm just afraid that my illness will drag down Xiao Wu, and I feel distressed when I look at it." Saburo nodded Shiro's head, looked back at the little sister who was shrunk to the side, and felt pain in his heart, but more of pity.

"Since you were injured, with a high fever and a swing, Xiao Wu was all taking care of you, and I, my eldest brother and second brother could only help on the side. Third brother, your life was saved by Xiao Wu. If you go this time, I won't live. ”

"Nonsense, if I really leave, if you don't stay and take good care of Xiao Wu, are you right! Don't say this again, don't you listen? Saburo glared at Shiro before he lay down again.

Shiro saw that the third brother was tired, so he called the eldest brother who came to help in the courtyard, and then he went out of the house.

When it was time to eat at noon, Situ Yan got up, boiled a large pot of vegetable soup, heated the cakes, and ate with Uncle Qin's family.

"Da Lang, girl, I and your Uncle Qin have been blessed by you, and we have eaten several full meals in a row. I haven't eaten a cake in years! ”

"Auntie, didn't you say that kindness is rewarded, you are willing to take us in, the third brother can have a room to recuperate, I will make some food, but I can't be thanked by the uncle and the aunt!"

"You said you girl, why is this mouth so slippery, I can't tell you when I look at Da Lang and a few boys."

"That's my brothers letting me!" A few people ate with laughter, and Situ Yan let the brothers take a nap, and then asked Da Lang to find some soil and mud to repair the house where they lived.

At dawn, Situ Yan took a look at the inside and outside of the house, the foundation of this house is not bad, but it is a little in disrepair, and when the sons of Aunt Qin are still there, the life of this family is still good.

Erlang went to cut the thatch, changed the roof of the main house and the east chamber, and for a while Uncle Qin's house was more lively than the New Year.

The village leader in the village also came to see it once, and learned that a few people were just temporarily recuperating and didn't look like gangsters, so he didn't make any more trouble.
