Veteran Chen Jing was wounded on the battlefield. At this time of year, the knife wound will occur once. This time, the knife wound was so severe that it almost killed him.

The son went to the army. Only his daughter-in-law, okra, took care of him at home. Okra is filial and can only take care of his food and drink, but it cannot relieve his pain.

At that time, there were no doctors in the countryside at all, and when people got sick, they first begged the ghosts and gods, and then they got some herbs to boil water to drink, and there were some methods, such as acupuncture, scraping, and bloodletting. As for whether these methods are used correctly and how effective they are, only God knows. There are two kinds of results, one is that the person is cured, and the other is that the person dies.

Okra also went to the field to pick some herbs, came back to wash them, and was about to boil water for his father-in-law to drink, when Fan Li came. As soon as Fan Li heard that Chen Jing was sick, he hurriedly came to his bedside. Okra called softly: "Daddy, Daddy! Master Fan has come to see you. ”

The old man opened his eyes and said in a weak voice, "General, my subordinates can't kowtow to you." ”

The old man's illness fell for the sake of the country's war. It is reasonable to enjoy state pensions. Fan Li said: "The old man doesn't need to be polite, you fell into this disease for the king's war, and the country doesn't take enough care of you and owes you a debt." ”

The old man's tears flowed down: "My lord, with your words, Chen Jing's death is worth it." ”

Fan Li said: "Many years ago, I got a bottle of Baihua Dew Pill from the Xian family, and I have saved many lives for so many years. I'm not a doctor, and I don't know if I can treat you, but I'm sure it's not harmful. Now let's take one, and maybe we can cure you. ”

He turned to okra and said, "Pour some hot water." ”

Okra poured half a bowl of hot water, Fan Li took out a small bottle, poured out a hundred flower dew pills, and served Chen Jing to eat.

Chen Jing said: "General, Chen Jing is just a veteran under you, and Chen Jing doesn't know how to thank you for being taken care of like this." ”

Fan Li said: "The old man must not say that. You also suffered this sin for the sake of your country. If this pill can cure your illness, it is also a blessing from God. ”

Chen Jing said to okra: "Girl, hurry up and cook for the general." Then clean the general's room and let the adults rest early. After saying that, he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Fan Li tucked his quilt, stood up, and walked out gently. Bring the door.

Okra went to the front to tie the door, lit the lamp in the store, and said to Fan Li: "My lord, please rest in the store, I will cook the meal immediately." As he spoke, he glanced at Fan Li.

Fan Li sat down in the store, and there was not much time, so Okra brought the food over: "My lord, do you want to drink some wine?" ”

Fan Li said: "I want to drink." I was passing by just to get some of your wine. Your wine is so good. ”

Okra took out a small jar and opened the seal, and the aroma of wine immediately wafted out. Fan Li praised: "What a fragrant wine! ”

Okra poured a bowl of wine for Fan Li and said, "If adults like it, drink more." ”

Fan Li said: "Sister, you go and get a bowl, let's drink some wine and eat together, don't treat me as a guest." ”

Okra blushed and said, "My family's head of the family has gone to be a soldier." I can't drink with adults. Okra replaces the head of the house. ”

took a bowl, poured wine, and then sat down opposite Fan Li, although her face was full of shyness, but it could be seen that she liked it very much in her heart. Okra picked up the bowl and said, "Please, sir!" ”

Fan Li took a sip of wine and praised: "Good wine!" Girl, did you make this wine yourself? ”

Okra also took a sip of wine and said, "This is my home-brewed wine, my father's winemaking skills are good, and people from dozens of miles around will come to my house to drink." ”

Fan Li said: "Is your family still farming? ”

Okra said: "There is no time left to farm. People who come to drink will bring food, and my family's food is enough to eat. Grow some vegetables at home, raise a few chickens, raise a pig, and live a good life. ”

Fan Li nodded. This is probably the earliest industrial and commercial business in history. "Actually, my family doesn't run a hotel, and some people who come from afar to drink can't go back that day, so they spend the night at my house. So, I specially packed up two rooms. Let the guests rest. ”

Fan Li said: "That's a good idea. ”

The wine is down, and the body is warm. The face of the okra on the opposite side was even redder. The gaze fell on Fan Li, reluctant to leave, sometimes the two looked at each other, and okra fled shyly. picked up a piece of egg and put it in the bowl in front of Fan Li: "Adults, please eat vegetables, my own chicken's eggs." ”

Fan Li said: "Thank you! "The moonlight was shining quietly outside. The shop was at the southernmost end of the town, a few dozen steps south of the river. The river flows quietly, and to the south of the creek is the endless jungle. On an early spring night, everything is silent.

Slowly drinking home-brewed wine, accompanied by beautiful women, how nice it is!

Fan Li was a little moved in his heart. If it weren't for the war, let the common people live in peace like this, how beautiful the world would be!

However, the continuous wars for many years have disturbed the peace of the people. Old man Chen Jing did not die on the battlefield, but he fell ill, and he was about to lie in bed, while his son walked into the barracks, leaving a newly married wife at home alone.

Who started this war? Who are the common people fighting for? The life of the widows in a small country that Lao Dan yearns for may be the best life!

"Okra represents the lord of the house!" Okra picked up the wine bowl and sent it to Fan Li. Fan Li said thank you, picked up the wine bowl and touched it gently, and then drank the wine in the dry bowl.

The liquor is very good, but it is much worse than the distilled spirits of later generations. Fan Li was in a dream, his father gave him wine, but he woke up without drinking it, can he still drink such distilled spirits? The water of the small river in front of it is good, and it will definitely make good wine that is drunk with immortals. In Fan Li's heart, a plan faintly appeared.

Fan Li said: "Sister, what is the name of your father-in-law?" ”

Okra said: "His name is Chen Wu, and he is twenty years old. ”

Fan Li said: "Does he also make wine?" ”

Okra said: "He does the work of making wine, and Daddy is too old to work, so he directs me to do it." ”

Fan Li said: "How long did you get married, and he went to be a soldier?" ”

Okra lowered his head and said resentfully: "Back to my lord, just five months after we got married, he went to the army." ”

Fan Li sighed and said, "Sister, Fan Li is a few years older than you, and it's really hard for you to know what it's like." Thank you on behalf of the King. Fan Li is not a frivolous person, but I still want to ask, does the girl miss Langjun? ”

Okra's head bowed: "Adults......"

Fan Li smiled and said, "I promise, Brother Chen Wu will return to you within a month, okay?" ”。

Okra got up and left his seat, knelt in front of Fan Li, and cried and said: "My lord is a general, my lord said let Chen Wu come back, Chen Wu will definitely be able to come back, okra thank you." ”

Fan Li stretched out his hand to pull up the okra: "Sister, please get up, you just wait for the good news." ”
