"Hello Aunt Lan, I'll look for stones and apricots to play next time, I've been busy at home recently, I want to dig more wild vegetables, and there is not much food at home." Li Yangqing's three siblings stood at the bow of the boat to say hello.

"Hey, it's not, this year is not good, and I still have to pay taxes, I don't know when it's a head!" Speaking is the old boatman Li Jiang who is holding a boat and carrying passengers in the village, the old man Li Jiang is the best water in this generation in Lijia Village, I heard that when he was young, he swam from Lijia Village to Sunjia Village with his bare hands, and he swam back and forth in the river.

The old man Li Jiang has tanned his skin due to his long-term wandering by the river, his face in his sixties is already covered with several folds, he is wearing a short fight, wearing a straw hat, a robe, and holding a pole to support the boat.

"The nobles take advantage of the strong strategy, the people are hungry and cold, and the royal power changes frequently, such a world will definitely be in chaos in the long run." Li Yangming couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, Yang Ming! It's okay to talk about it casually in front of the big guy, but don't go outside to say it, it's not good to spread it to the ears of the nobles, the big guy should get on the boat quickly, let's get to Hongxia Town early. Old man Li Jiang grabbed the rope and didn't forget to tell the juniors in the village.

"Thank you Grandpa Jiang for reminding me, the kid just felt it, little sister, I'll pull you up." Li Yangming stepped into the boat first, turned around and stretched out his hand towards Li Yangqing.

After Li Yangqing held Li Yangming's hand, he was pulled to the boat by force, this wooden boat can seat about a dozen people, and there are a few long wooden benches on the cabin, and they want to take the boat to the villagers in the town, and they each found a place to sit down.

The three brothers and sisters of the Li family and sister-in-law Lan sat next to each other in the front and back rows, Li Yangwu put the basket at his feet, and Li Yangqing sat between the two elder brothers.

Looking at the people on the boat who were going to the town today, in addition to Kailan's sister-in-law and his three brothers and sisters, there was also Butcher Li and his eldest son Li Zhuang who came not far away, it seemed that the two fathers and sons were going to the meat stall in the town to sell meat today.

Li Butcher's full name is Li Dadao, looking at the appearance of about forty years old, I heard that he was a pig killer from his grandfather's generation, and slowly accumulated money to Uncle Dao's generation, and set up a meat stall in the town, people gave him the nickname "Dao Ye", burly, tall and mighty, wearing a cloth coat, carrying a few pig-killing guys, with a bald head, a pair of thick black eyebrows implanted in the sideburns, in that generous face looks extremely fierce and full of gangsterism.

People who see him for the first time will be frightened by his appearance, but after getting to know him, they will know that this is a person called "contrast cute" in modern terms, rough on the outside and kind on the inside.

Li Dadao's family conditions are good, and he took Aunt Li Hua, who can give birth to children, and gave birth to four strong sons Li Zhuang, Li Fei, Li Hou, and Li Xian, why did he give his sons this name? Listening to Uncle Dao's meaning is to make a living sign for their meat, and when you hear it, you will know that their pork is strong, fat, thick and fresh.

"Uncle Dao, Brother Zhuang, go to the town to be busy with business!"

"Uncle Dao, Brother Zhuang."

"Uncle Dao, Brother Zhuang is good." The three siblings greeted the two fathers and sons who came on the boat.

"Little sister of the Li family, do you want to go to Uncle Dao's shop today to buy some meat and taste it, the pork just slaughtered this morning is fresh." As he spoke, he raised the pork in the basket at his feet to show the big guys.

"Uncle Dao, Uncle Dao, when we get to the town later, if we see that we have any money left over from the family, we will go to your shop to buy some meat." Li Yangqing tugged at the sleeves of the two elder brothers and said first.

"Okay, don't worry! I'll leave you a good one. Li Zhuang turned his head and smiled at Li Yangqing, Li Zhuang was dressed like his father, but he had a bun tied up with hemp rope, unlike Li Dadao, who had a bald head and a red nose, which was quite funny, and his father's body was less arrogant.

Talking about the family chatting, the big guy sat on the boat and looked at the scenery on both sides of the strait, about noon arrived at the shore of the town, everyone went ashore in turn, the boat fare was three cents per person, the Li brothers and sisters in addition to the nine cents to pay the fare, there were still two hundred and ninety-one cents brought by the family, and Li Qiu gave them three brothers and sisters a total of three hundred cents when they left.

"When you go back in the afternoon, you will still board the boat at this shore pass, and you will leave for the village when Shen, don't forget it."

"Remember, Grandpa Jiang has worked hard for you." After saying goodbye to the old man Li Jiang, everyone walked up the river for a while to the town gate of Hongxia Town, which was the first time Li Yangqing had seen the ancient town since he was born, and his heart was excited.

From a distance, I saw a square archway made of tall stones, with a few big characters of "Hongxia Town" written on it, Li Yangqing took Li Yangming's hand and ran eagerly to the town, Li Yangwu and a few fellow villagers followed.

When I got to the archway, I looked up at the town, Li Yangqing was like a grandmother Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking everywhere, I saw that the middle of the town was a bluestone paved road, and on both sides were low houses built of earth, stone and wood, which were much better than the houses in the village, but they were not as prosperous as imagined, large and small, densely packed shops were next to each other, and the tallest building was seen to be two floors.

All kinds of dressed men, women and children shuttle through the process, and the buildings here are not as glamorous and beautiful as China's modern tourist towns, with a gray color, although the town is small but quite lively.

It may be just a small town, most of the villagers who come here are the surrounding villagers, the craftsmanship level of Jinguo is not high, the building is not too high, continue to walk forward and see two forked roads, Aunt Lan and Uncle Dao want to go to the north alley to sell things, that side belongs to the civilian area, and the south alley belongs to the rich area.

The three brothers and sisters parted ways with Aunt Lan and Uncle Dao, Li Yangwu said that his sister had never been to the town, and he was going to take her to a place where he had seen and understood, Aunt Lan did not forget to tell the three brothers and sisters to be careful not to provoke the nobles before leaving, the three brothers and sisters nodded and separated from Aunt Lan, and walked towards the south lane of the rich area.

South Lane is worthy of being a place where the rich live, relative to the low houses seen in the town, but I saw a lot of high and low houses, there are restaurants, medical halls, inns and other kinds of businesses, I saw many magnificent Zhumen big households, the road is also wider, there are often horse-drawn carriages passing by, pedestrians have given way, most of the people around are wearing satin, pulp and dyed fine fabrics, there are also pedestrians like the three brothers and sisters of the Li family wearing kudzu cloth fabrics, most of them are in a hurry, their hands and feet are restrained, and their heads are low, I didn't dare to glance around, for fear of disturbing the nobles and causing trouble.

Li Yangwu tugged at the sleeve of the little sister, "Little sister, do you think where can we sell this houttuynia cordata?" After all, no one has eaten this stuff yet, and I'm worried that no one will accept it. ”

Li Yangqing looked at Li Yangwu's worried expression, "Second brother, don't worry, let's go to those restaurants or medical halls and try it." ”

The three siblings walked forward for a while, and saw a group of people surrounding the front, and from time to time there was a sound of discussion.

"What is this going to do? I think it's better to find someone to get a doctor quickly! I've been lying here for a long time, and I haven't seen her family come here. ”

"Yes, yes, if you die on the way to send people away, who dares to take this responsibility, let's find a catch!"

……

Li Yangqing saw that there were people in front of him, and he also wanted to see the excitement, so he hurriedly drilled into the crowd, "Sister, slow down, be careful and safe," Li Yangming chased after Li Yangqing, who had entered the crowd.

Li Yangqing took advantage of the small hole to get to the front, and saw a white-haired old woman lying on the ground with her body curled on the ground, and the fruits in the basket next to her were scattered all over the ground, and a group of people around were pointing around, but no one stepped forward, but I heard that someone had already looked for a doctor in the medical hall and went to catch it.

Li Yangqing looked at the old woman's face, and saw that the old woman's face was flushed, and the big sweat on her face was pouring out, and now she fainted unconscious and fell to the ground, her complexion gradually changed to pale, and she looked at the scorching sun above the big guy's head, looking like she was suffering from heat stroke.

Li Yangqing walked to the old woman and squatted down, reached out and touched the old woman's hand and found that the skin was burning, which was indeed a symptom of heat stroke, and recalled that the mid-term patients of heat stroke would have palpitation, dizziness, and lack of concentration, and in the later stage of heat stroke, they might faint directly to the ground, and even suffer from cardiac arrest.

"Hurry up, everyone get out of the way, this old woman is suffering from heat stroke, help help her to the shady tree in front."

"Little girl, you're sure, it's not any other illness, okay, I'll help carry her over." A passer-by brother saw Li Yangqing's earnestness, so he also wanted to help.

Li Yangwu and the little brother carried the old woman under the big locust tree together, Li Yangqing hurriedly let the old woman lean against the trunk of the tree, and slightly loosened the sleeves and collar of the old woman, "Second brother, quickly massage this old woman's limbs to prevent her body's qi and blood from stagnating, and the third brother and I will go to the shop next to me to borrow something." ”

I ran to the grocery store next to me and told the shopkeeper about the situation, and the shopkeeper had just seen the old woman's affairs, so he immediately agreed to borrow a fan, a cloth towel, a bowl of water mixed with some salt, and a basin of cold water to the tree.

Li Yangming used a fan to dissipate heat from the old woman, Li Yangqing twisted the wet cloth towel and wiped the old woman's exposed hands and face, and then put the wet cloth towel on the old woman's forehead, pried open some of the old woman's mouth a little harder, and fed some salt water into it, seeing that the old woman's symptoms were somewhat relieved, and seeing that the old woman's body was not sweating a lot again, and his complexion did not continue to develop in the direction of turning white.

"The catcher is here, the catcher is here, get out of the way." It wasn't just someone in the crowd who shouted.

I saw a person dressed in a green fishing suit, with a waist tag on his waist to show his identity, and an iron ruler and rope came to the front quickly, "What's going on here, I thought there was a life lawsuit!" Hurry up. ”

Li Yangming arched his hand to the catcher and said: "Catcher, Li Yangming of Lijia Village, a small people, just passed by here to see an old woman fainting on the ground, and the housemate found that the old woman was suffering from heat stroke, and then launched first aid. ”

The green-clothed catcher hurriedly walked towards the old woman under the tree, and saw the old woman leaning against the tree, "Isn't this Lin Zhutou's mother?" Come with me and send my aunt to the hospital to have a look. ”

"Yes, Master Catcher." Li Yangwu immediately picked up the old woman and hurried to a medical center called Jiheguan with the catcher, put the old woman on the bed where the patient could lie inside, and Li Yangqing followed closely and walked in.
