After the Dragon Boat Festival to May 17, it is the summer solstice in the 24 solar terms, such a day is the season of thunderstorms, but at this time, the sun bakes the ground and has a heat wave, so hot that people will sweat if they don't move. How can there be a scenery of "the sun rises in the east and rains in the west, and the road is sunny but sunny".

The north is dry and hot, but the south has ushered in the "rainy season", and for more than half a month, I haven't even seen what the sun looks like, and even the clothes and quilts in the cabinets have begun to grow moldy and hairy. Although there was no rain, there were water droplets hanging on the wall all day long.

Wu Jin saluted his master and went out of the family study, and rushed all the way to his Zhuangzi, where Li Youzhu was leading people to drain the water in the field. If the sun does not come out again, I am afraid that this season's crops will not be saved. Seeing the minions busy in the field, Wu Jin couldn't help but look to the north, worried about the stubborn little sister. Last year, the silver ticket he sent was returned, not only that, but Xiaomei also brought him back with a box of snacks, he understood what Xiaomei meant, and was telling him that she was alive and well, and even ate this kind of snacks.

Xiaomei's letter also mentioned that he should pay more attention to the current situation of the government, and he has also inquired these days, and naturally understands Xiaomei's painstaking efforts, so at this time he is more worried about the safety of the northern border.

The south is flooded and the north is dry, but the emperor of Wei is still obsessed with women, spending all day drinking, watching dances and listening to music in the palace. This may be the heavens showing that Wei's strength is about to run out.

Situ Yan has been running to the city almost every day these days, asking around about the situation in the south, first, his brother Wu Jinren is still in the south; The second is that the north is another year of famine this year, and if the south is affected by the disaster, she is afraid that the war in Wei will start soon, and she should make plans as soon as possible.

He also wrote a letter about the disaster in the north, and the people from the Dart Bureau brought it to Wu Jin, first, for fear that these officials of the imperial court would report good news or bad news, or exaggerate the disaster in order to fill his own pockets and make Wu Jin worried. The second is to remind Wu Jin to prepare early and return to the capital at any time to avoid the war. It is precisely because of this letter that although Wu Jin escaped the temporary arrest of Ding Chong and went to the battlefield, he still did not escape the fate of becoming a military household and going to the border.

In the summer, although the water source is less, but the mosquitoes are not less, the sun just went down, the sky full of mosquitoes flew out, Situ Yan and a few people did not even come out of the house after dark, she even made a mosquito net for the carrot shed. As for the snow wolf, he has been sleeping in the same room with Situ Yan since he entered this house, so naturally he doesn't need these.

After the brothers had dinner, Da Lang and Erlang sat in the hall and read with San Lang and Shilang, learning today's Jiang Fuzi's Protestant "The Mean", before the Dragon Boat Festival, Jiang Fuzi finished the book "University", although San Lang and Shilang only learned part of it in the hall, but Jiang Fuzi took pity on the two of them for their hard work and intelligence, especially discussed with Li Dalang, and left two more hours to teach what they did not learn during the lunch break every day. Li Dalang didn't agree at the time, only said that he wanted to go home and discuss it with his family, Jiang Fuzi had been with these people for a long time, and he had already discovered that the youngest child who could really call the shots in this family was the youngest child, but the little baby seemed to be afraid of him, and he almost never came to the county school again, and he had no chance to accept him as an apprentice. When he got home, Li Dalang discussed the matter with Situ Yan, and with such a good thing, Situ Yan naturally agreed.

After San Lang finished teaching his eldest brother, he began to prepare to write the homework left by Jiang Fuzi, "Little Wu, the master asked me to thank you, the zongzi and mugwort sent during the Dragon Boat Festival, the master said that the food was very fragrant, and even the family was full of praise." ”

"It's good that Master Jiang likes it, but the master wants his brothers to make up for the lessons they have missed, but they all use their own rest hours to teach, what are these things, since the master eats well, Ming'er and his brothers will bring a basket when they go."

"Xiao Wu, it's been these days, how can there be mugwort at home, although there are still some sun-dried reed leaves, but I can't wrap zongzi."

"The third brother won't, I will, what's so difficult about this, brothers practice calligraphy first, and I can do it in a while." Without waiting for a few people to stop him, he got up and went into the stove room.

"On this hot day, when did Xiao Wu cook and get soaked, I'll help." Li Dalang was afraid that his little sister would work hard, so he put the pen and was about to enter the stove room.

"Big brother, I provoked this matter, I'll go."

"You stay honest with me, and who will help you do the homework left by Master Jiang. Jiang Fuzi is willing to teach you and Xiaosi, because he sees you work hard, even if you send food, but you don't do your homework well, do you think Jiang Fuzi will be happy? Li Dalang was a little angry in his heart, if San Lang hadn't mentioned this, the little sister wouldn't have to suffer in the stove room, but this matter was not all San Lang's fault, so although he was angry, the reason was also clear.

San Lang also hated himself for talking too much, but what the eldest brother said was also the truth, he still had ten pages of words to write at this time, if he couldn't finish writing, what face would he use to see Master Jiang. He didn't have the face to face the little sister who was in charge of everything for him.

Li Dalang put on his shoes and entered the stove room, and came back after a while, "Big brother, is it that Xiao Wu won't let you help?" Shiro felt that with his little sister's temper, he wouldn't let them go into the stove room to help.

"Hmm. As soon as I entered the door with this front foot, I let Xiao Wu come out and let me come back to concentrate on reading, saying that she didn't do much and wasn't tired. Li Dalang felt sorry for Situ Yan, but he didn't dare to be disobedient, this little sister was stubborn, and no one would give face.

"Forget it, big brother, I'll finish writing later, and I'll go to the east to fan Xiao Wu." The whole family knew that Situ Yan was afraid of heat, and he couldn't sleep in a few nights, so the brothers discussed, and Li Dalang or Li Erlang went to fan Situ Yan for a while before going to bed, and only went back to the house when they were asleep, San Lang felt ashamed, so he thought that he would go to fan his little sister today.

"No, if you don't sleep well, how can you have the energy to listen to the class." Li Dalang feels sorry for his sister, and of course he feels sorry for his younger brother.

"It's just a day, and I'm not tired." The two still wanted to argue, but Shiro opened his mouth, "Okay, third brother, it's not your business to send food to Master Jiang, I still have two pages left to finish writing, and after I finish writing, I'll help Xiao Wu." Several people thought it was good, so they read and practiced calligraphy. But by the time Shiro finished writing, Situ Yan had already finished the things and went to the clean room. In fact, all these foods were stored in Situ Yan's ring early in the morning, and she just took them out to heat it at this time, of course, much faster than usual.

Shiro saw that he couldn't help, so he waited for Situ Yan to go back to the house to rest, and insisted on fanning her, Situ Yan saw that it was still early, so she didn't stop it, she couldn't help it, she was afraid of heat in her previous life, she didn't feel anything about this body last year, and I don't know what happened this year, so hot that it became difficult for her to even sleep, so she had to fan her by a few people in turn, so she could sleep. In this way, I will be woken up by the heat several times at night, if it were not for the two windows in the north and south when the house was built, I am afraid that the house would be even hotter and too hot.

The next day, Saburo carried the finished zongzi and mugwort on his back, and went to the county school with Shiro in the ox cart of Xiao Yang'er's family. Jiang Fuzi had long regarded San Lang and Shiro as his protégés, and these two people respected their teachers so much, so they were naturally very happy.

Da Lang and Erlang still have to go to the official field to guard the seedlings at night, and they will come back every morning to practice martial arts for breakfast, and at noon they pick up San Lang and Shiro to come back and the family will eat together, and in the afternoon, San Lang and Shiro are busy in the backyard and cleaning the livestock shacks, which Situ Yan should have to do, but San Lang and Shiro don't agree with anything, Li Dalang also insisted on letting the two younger brothers do it, Situ Yan was afraid of the heat, so he didn't insist anymore.

Sleeping until midnight that night, there was a sudden rapid knock on the door, which woke up all the three people sleeping in the house, Situ Yan glanced at the snow wolf sleeping on the ground, and saw that although it got up, it did not yell at the door, and her heart tightened, this knock was either Da Lang or Erlang, otherwise the snow wolf would have barked a long time ago.

Hurriedly put on his clothes and went down to open the door, and saw Da Lang walking in with Erlang on his back, "Little Wu, hurry up, the second child let the snake bite." ”

"Go into the house, put the second brother on the kang, the third brother will go to boil water, the fourth brother will go to get wine, eldest brother, tell me, what's the matter?" Situ Yan commanded a few people while examining Erlang's wounds.

The wound is on the leg, and the two blood holes that the snake bite can be clearly seen, but there is no black or blue around the wound, and Li Erlang has a strip of cloth tied to his thigh, obviously this Li Dalang still knows some first-aid knowledge, maybe it is related to the fact that he often goes into the mountains to hunt. Cut a cross between the wound with a knife, squeeze out the blood, the blood was bright red, and asked Erlang how he felt, there was no uncomfortable feeling of numbness, and his head was not dizzy, except for some pain in the wound, there was nothing wrong with anything else.

Situ Yan was relieved, it seemed that the snake was not poisonous, so she listened carefully to Li Dalang's account of what happened.

Li Dalang and Erlang slept until midnight, Erlang suddenly screamed, shouting that there was a snake, the two of them hurriedly lit the lamp, and saw that there was a three-foot-long snake crawling on the bed, Li Dalang went into the mountains to hunt and collect firewood, and often saw snakes, so he was not afraid, found a stick, and picked out the snake, only to find that Erlang had a wound on his leg, and he was busy pulling a strip of cloth from his clothes to tie his legs, and he didn't dare to let Erlang run by himself, so he rushed back with Erlang on his back.

Situ Yan cleaned the wound with wine and water, and then dispensed medicine for Li Erlang, and asked Shiro to boil it, so he had time to ask Li Dalang, "Big brother, is the herbal incense piece that repells snakes and mosquitoes useless?" ”

"I and Erlang put it in the house when we took a shower today, and we forgot to take it when we left." Only then did Situ Yan understand that she felt strange, there were more snakes, insects, mosquitoes and ants than this on weekdays, and she didn't see anything happen to the two of them, so why did she let the snake bite her today.

"Fortunately, the snake this time is not poisonous, otherwise the second brother is afraid that he will have to lie down for a few days and will not be able to go to the ground. The brothers don't have the body and bones of the snow wolf, and they can run around after being poisoned, so the brothers must not forget it in the future. This incense piece cannot be taken off lightly, and must be carried with you. ”

"Little Wu, I will not forget this time." Erlang actually felt guilty, the little sister had not slept well these days, and this time he woke him up again. The eldest brother, who was still tired, carried him back, and the younger brothers will go to school early tomorrow morning, all of which were careless, so that the whole family was tired.

"Okay, don't go back to the field today, just rest at home for a while, and you should get up in more than an hour, and you don't have to toss back and forth." Situ Yan took the medicine bowl that Shiro had boiled, and let the three of them go into the west room to sleep first, she stayed to take care of it, blew the medicine and blew it, and then let Erlang drink it when it was warm.

"Xiao Wu, you go to sleep too, I'm fine."

"Second brother, I can't sleep when I wake up now, you go to sleep first, and I'll do some needlework before sleeping."

"Little Five, it's all my fault, don't be angry."

"Second brother, what is this talking about, if you are bitten by a snake and hide it from me, then I will be really angry, this time I am not careful, what do I have to be angry about. Go to sleep, if you don't sleep again, I'll be really angry. ”

Erlang obediently closed his eyes, and fell asleep after a while, Situ Yan put aside for a while to take his pulse and check his temperature, although she decided that the snake was not poisonous, but she was also afraid that she would miss it, so she insisted on staying and taking care of it.

The next day, after sending San Lang and Shiro away, Situ Yan checked Li Erlang again, and only then did he make sure that he was really fine, so he dared to let Erlang go to the ground.

The Snake Horror was just a trivial episode that happened this summer, and it was a big house compared to the catastrophe that followed.
