Volume 2 Chapter 3 Something Happened
In the morning, Chen Yi quietly walked out of the dilapidated door and stretched. Looking at the red sky rendered by the morning glow, the vast land is still immersed in the sunken. Red clouds crisscross the sky, blooming wanton agitation in the air in the dilapidated courtyard, which makes people's hearts surge.
In the past few days, last night was the most comfortable night I slept in.
The last time he looked at the rising sun, Chen Yi couldn't remember when, maybe it was the first time he came to this world to look at the sky so seriously.
Perhaps compared to Chaoxia, who likes the sunset more, Luoxia seems to be deeper and more nostalgic, and Chaoxia always gives people a fragile and thin feeling.
Staring at the sky that has never been polluted, it seems to be a gushing of emotions in an instant, mixed feelings, and it seems to have a thousand words, and who is it? The lonely self in this parallel world, alone watching the clouds of every minute and every second of the changing light of the sky.
It's a beautiful morning glow, but it's a pity that I'm alone.
Chen Yi turned around and looked at the small kitchen next to the house, the jagged tiles of the kitchen covered the roof, and the half-broken chimney was still missing, and it was desperately smoking outside.
The sound of "crackling" came from the dilapidated stove, and I quietly walked a few steps forward, and saw the tiger girl half-squatting next to the stove.
The stove was made of mud, and the other side was connected to the large chimney outside the wall.
Standing behind Hu Niu, I saw clearly that Hu Niu kept adding firewood to the fire with one hand, and kept blowing it inside with the other hand covering her mouth, hoping that the fire could burn a little stronger. Something should be boiling in the pot. Knock knock bang.
"Tiger girl, what are you doing?"
Hu Niu turned around and saw Chen Yi standing behind her, and quickly stood up.
"Brother Chenyi, I'm boiling water, and when my brother comes, I can take the medicine." Tiger Girl's eyes were full of hope, looking at the path outside the door, hoping that her brother would come home soon.
"When did your brother go to get the medicine?"
"Brother, before dawn, I went to the town with the immortal brother of the second uncle's family."
"How did I not know?"
"My brother originally wanted to wake you up, but my mother said not to disturb your sleep, so I didn't wake you up." The tiger girl looked at Chen Yi and thought about it and said.
"How is your mother doing today? I haven't visited your mother yet. ”
"Mother, the same as yesterday, Brother Chenyi, are you hungry?"
"Don't be hungry, Tiger Girl, I'll help you." Bent down and pick up the bent dry wood on the ground, help Hu Niu put it into the stove, lift the lid of the pot that was a little tattered, the water in the pot was already boiling, and it was constantly blistering in the water.
"Brother Chen, no...... Oh no, aquatic...... Something happened to Shui Sheng," Chen Yi and Hu Niu turned around, saw Goudan running over with something in one hand and one hand covering his chest, panting and puffing.
"What's wrong? You drink a little water first. ”
Dogan scooped up a scoop of water from the wooden bucket next to him, drank it in two or three sips, and wiped the water from the corner of his mouth with the cuff of his coat.
"Brother Chenyi, this morning, the sky is not yet dawn, I haven't gotten up yet, I heard someone outside the door calling my name in a daze, I pushed open the door and saw Brother Shuisheng, Brother Shuisheng said to me that he accompanied me to the town, to get medicine for my mother, we walked very fast along the way, and arrived at the town ......" The dog who was talking and gesturing didn't know the black line on Chenyi's head at this time, and had to interrupt the aquatic life.
"Aquatic, stop, stop talking, aquatic, can you catch the point." Chen Yi's right hand is flat on his chest, and the point of his left index finger is pointing at the palm of his right hand.
"Brother Chenyi, Sidao Putao...... What do you mean? Dogan asked Xiang Chenyi curiously.
"Stop, I'll tell you slowly later, dog, you will quickly grasp the key point, why the aquatic life will be caught, just start talking about it from the town."
"That's it, big brother, hurry up." The tiger girl was anxiously pulling the placket of the dog's clothes on the side.
"Shui Sheng and I went to the town, we hurriedly went to find the only pharmacy in the town, Xinglin Baicao Pavilion, after finding the Baicao Pavilion, Shui Sheng and I went to grab my mother's medicine first, and then we ......"
"Stop, such a dog, we'll go to the town first, let me ask you to answer? Good no good? We talk as we walk, and we get to the point. ”
Goudan handed the medicine in his hand to the tiger girl, asked her sister to decoct the medicine quickly, and told the tiger girl to let her mother drink the medicine while it was hot.
Chen Yi and Goudan hurriedly walked out of the courtyard.
In the village, chickens crow, dogs and cows bark. Coupled with the laughter and laughter of the people, it converges into a vibrant morning light song.
The village is dotted with long strips of cultivated land. Patches of gray fields. Between the fields are a mesh of paths with pear and plum trees. Agile children ran along the barefoot-strewn dry road, and could hear the cheerful chatter of peasant women doing laundry by the pond and the sound of peasants repairing their rakes in the yard.
"Dog, Chenyi, where are you going in a hurry?" Uncle Zhao held a pipe in one hand, and kept spitting out cigarettes in his mouth.
"Uncle Zhao, this morning, the sky is not yet dawn, I haven't gotten up yet, I heard someone call my name outside the door in a daze, I pushed open the door and saw Brother Shuisheng, Brother Shuisheng said to me that he accompanied me to the town, to my mother to grab medicine, along the way we walked very fast, after we arrived in the town, we hurriedly went to find the only pharmacy in the town Xinglin Baicao Pavilion, after finding Baicao Pavilion, I and Shui Sheng went first to catch my mother's medicine, and then we ......"
"Dogan stop, let's do it, it just so happens that Da Zhuang and I are going to the town to buy some items, wait for you and Chenyi, wait for me at the entrance of the village, wait for us at the entrance of the village, wait for us to take the ox cart, you wait at the entrance of the village for a while." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Uncle Zhao. After Uncle Zhao finished speaking, he hurried home.
"Brother Chen, didn't I miss the point again."
"It's okay, that's good." Chen Yi could only say to the dog with a clear conscience, thinking psychologically, God, earth, come and save this bear child.
"I thought I had said the wrong thing again," the dog smiled embarrassedly and touched his hair.
Chen Yi and Goudan rushed to the entrance of the village.
About ten snaps of time, I saw an ox cart swaying from a distance from a distance, the ox cart slowly drove through the uneven road of the village, the cow's hooves stepped quickly, a loud cry in the nose, a breath of white air, let out a long hiss, slowly stopped next to Chen Yi, the ox cart was driven by a weak crown boy.
(Weak crown: The ancients performed a crown salute at the age of 20 to show adulthood, but the body was still not strong and relatively young, so it was called "weak".) Crown, which refers to adulthood. Weak crown: In ancient times, men were called "weak" at the age of 20, and at this time they had to perform the "crown ceremony", that is, wear a hat to indicate that they have become adults. A "weak crown" is a man who has reached the age of 20. Later generations generally refer to the age of about 20 for men, and cannot be used for women. This young man, who should be Uncle Zhao's son, wears a light gray hat with his hair in a bun, and is dressed in a gray gown, the cuffs of the caftan have become white, and he has been washed many times, holding a rope in one hand and a whip in the other, sitting diagonally on the ox cart, next to Uncle Zhao behind him.
"Chen Yi, this is my eldest son, Da Zhuang."
Chen Yi looked at Uncle Zhao's son carefully, his face was purple and red, a little sickly, only his eyes looked bright, and his two hands were also very rough, so it could be seen that he usually did a lot of farm work. People don't speak, they look wooden, as if they are only quiet in their own world, indifferent to the people around them, and there is a great contrast with Uncle Zhao, not like they are biological at all.
"Hello, my name is Chenyi, and I will take care of me in the future." Chen Yiwang bent over, holding his hands together and holding them high in front of his chest, "pushing his hands for the hand". (In ancient times, there was a difference between high and low pushers, which was a means of determining respect and inferiority and other relatives.) There is no hierarchy in the people's courtesy, only welcome, or harmony and humility. )
After Chen Yi said hello, he found that Da Zhuang was sitting motionless on the ox cart, very embarrassed, and slightly unhappy in his heart, etiquette was still very important in ancient times.
"Hey......, Chenyi, don't see outside, Da Zhuang had a very cheerful personality when he was a child, and he also liked to play with others, but since Da Zhuang was 5 years old, he couldn't speak, and since then his personality has become very introverted and unwilling to deal with others." Uncle Zhao said with a sad face, and he could feel that his mood was very heavy.
"Uncle Zhao, is there no way?"
"We have seen a lot of doctors, and after seeing them, they all said that there was no way, and we ...... We can only give up, you and Goudan hurry up and get in the car, let's go to the town first, and the later ones will change. ”
Chen Yi and Goudan got on the ox cart, and the ox cart was padded with a thin layer of straw mats, and the two sat cross-legged on the ox cart, and the ox "moo... Moo", the ox cart slowly drove across the road, the sound was lonely and monotonous, only the sound of the ox cart passing by.
"Dog, what the hell is going on in the water? How could someone get taken away? ”
Chen Yi said to the dog who was sitting next to him.
