Chapter 21: Together
Anxi remembered, hiccup! Drinking water is the most effective.
The mind was thinking, but the body poured a glass of water before itself, and then gurgled and poured it!
"Finally no hiccups. Brother, you can drink some too. ”
As he spoke, he poured a glass of water for An Yi.
Sure enough, a glass of water was in the stomach, and the comfort was no longer burping.
……
As night falls,
The sky seems to be covered with a thin layer of sand, which makes Anxi look up at the moon, and there is always a feeling that the sky has been filtered.
The moon was round, with a faint silver glow.
The stars are dotted, scattered in every corner of the sky, blooming with bright and dazzling light.
An Xi sat on the steps in front of the ginseng zhilin pharmacy, holding his chin with one hand and tilting his head to look at the sky without blinking.
The color of the sky, like her eyes, was inky and bright.
Although the parents didn't care about her at all, she still missed them a little.
When his left hand was tired, he tilted his head and supported it with the other hand.
"Girl, go in quickly, your brother is looking for you." The medicine man walked out and said to her.
"Okay, thank you."
Anjia Village.
Mo sat in front of the door with An Jiao in his arms, looking ahead.
An Jiao fell asleep peacefully in her arms, and Mo Shi patted Xiao An Jiao's back for a while, completely forgetting that the little person in her arms had fallen asleep.
She felt a little uneasy in her heart, it was so late, why didn't these two children come back.
Mo waited and waited, waited for a figure, and looked closely at the village chief, and the light in Mo's eyes instantly dimmed.
But he still put on a smiling face and accosted the village chief.
"The village chief is here?"
"Just now someone handed me a letter to my house, saying that he must bring it to you tonight, it seems to be related to the Anyi brothers and sisters."
The village chief was reluctant to come over in the evening, after all, it would be possible to bring it to the Mo family tomorrow, but the person who sent it couldn't afford to mess with him.
Mo Shi took the letter from the village chief's hand and opened it nervously and hurriedly.
The content of the letter was to the effect that An Yi was injured and was currently settled in Shenzhilin, and An Xi was also accompanying him, and the two siblings were afraid that they would not be able to return until five days later.
The more Mo looked at it, the more his heart trembled, and the letter in his panicked hand trembled.
Wounded? Serious? If you want to stay for five days, it must be very serious.
"Village chief, what else did the messenger say?"
The village chief shook his head.
"Since the letter has been delivered, then I will go first."
After the village chief left, Mo locked the door and turned around.
His eyes were drenched in tears.
She walked briskly back to the room, gently placed An Jiao on the bed, covered the quilt, and extinguished the candle.
The night was long, and Mo lay in bed and couldn't sleep at night.
It was not dawn and it was slightly cool.
Moh, who hadn't slept all night, got up and prepared some food in the kitchen.
Then go back to the room and gently wake up Anjiao.
An Jiao's little hand clenched into a fist, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and shouted softly.
"Mother."
"Good,"
Mo Shi hugged Xiao Anjiao down, led her to the table, and fed her something to eat.
"Mother, why did we wake up so early."
"Good girl, my mother wants to take you to my brother, eat quickly."
Mo's face smiled happily, and his eyes were slightly red.
The little girl nodded and ate spoonful by spoonful.
Finish eating.
Mohs locked all the doors of the house one by one.
Then he led Xiao Anjiao to Hezi Town.
It takes two hours to get to Hezi Town by ox cart, let alone walk on only two feet.
"Mother, I'm cold."
Both of them were a little thin, and it was just dawn, and the cold wind was colder than any other time.
"Mother will carry you away, so it will be warmer."
Mo picked up An Jiao, and the mother and daughter hugged each other, but they also warmed up.
"Mother, are you cold?"
"Mother is not cold."
An Jiao hugged Mo's neck tightly, tilted her little head and leaned on Mo's left shoulder, and said glutinously.
"So my mother can be warmer."
Along
Mother and daughter walked and rested, never stopping.
I finally rushed to the gate of Shenzhilin, and it was already dark.
Mo put An Jiao down, took Xiao An Jiao's hand, and just wanted to walk in to ask someone, but it was his eldest girl who came to meet him.
"Xi'er."
An Xi raised his head when he heard the voice, incredulous.
"Mother, how did you get here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo fell to the ground stiffly.
"Mother, mother, mother." Xiao Anjiao and Anxi shouted in unison.
"Doctor, come out quickly, come and see my mother."
An Xi shook Mo's body, but there was no reaction, so he quickly ran in and dragged the old doctor out inside...
"Doctor, quick, look at my mother."
"Ouch, you girl, can't you pull lightly? My old bones can't stand you pulling like this. ”
The old doctor's nostrils smoked, and he hurriedly stabilized his body.
When he heard a noise in the room, he sat up, and tried to hold on to the wall and go to the curtain.
"I was wrong, next time I will resolutely not do this, you can look at my mother. What the hell is wrong with my mother. ”
"Wood? Why are you still stunned, hurry up and carry the person to the couch. The old doctor said angrily to the medicine man.
The medicine apprentice carried Mo in, lifted the door curtain, and just blocked the door comfortably.
"What are you doing blocking the door?"
"Get your brother in and don't get in the way."
The old doctor was probably really angry with An Xi, and he spoke as if he was carrying a gunfire.
couch.
"Your mother's long-term lack of qi and blood is caused by overwork and poor food, and I'm afraid it will be ...... if it goes on like this."
"I'm afraid of what?" An Yi Anxi said in unison.
"I'm afraid it's not good for the body, and if it goes on for a long time, it will be detrimental to life."
"So serious?"
"What do you think?"
"Then you can help my mother recuperate, how much money do I have." An Xi said anxiously.
"This doesn't cost much, the main thing is that your mother will eat more good food in the future to nourish the body, and this qi and blood will come up."
"What else?"
"I don't need to apply needles, I'll prescribe some recipes to nourish qi and blood later, and drink it for three days in a row, the most important thing is to eat well in the future, not to overwork."
"Got it, thank you, doctor."
"In total, a tael of silver."
An Xi took out a silver ingot and handed it to the old doctor, asking him to find the money.
Not much,
Mohs woke up slowly.
I opened my eyes.
"Yi'er."
"Mother, I'm here, the child is fine, let the mother worry too much, it's the child's not smiling."
"Mother." Anxi Anjiao shouted.
"I'm here, what's wrong with me?"
"Mother, you fainted, mother, if you want to come and take an ox cart, why do you still walk here alone with Xiao Anjiao."
As soon as the words came out, Anxi regretted it.
The reason why Mo Shi walked was because it cost money to carry an ox cart, and she dared to use it, especially when the letter also said that An Yi was injured, and she didn't know how much silver taels it would cost.
"Save the money and leave it to Yi'er to see the doctor."
"Mother, how are you feeling now, and is there anything uncomfortable?"
"No, it's not uncomfortable, my mother just didn't sleep well, don't worry, this money, you have to save it, leave it to Yi'er to see the doctor."
"Mother, my master helped me pay for the medicine, you don't have to save it." An Yi said.
As for An Jiao, she obediently took Mo's hand at this time and was quiet.
"Your master?"
"Well, I apprenticed, he's a head catcher."
"When?"
"Yes......"
"Okay, don't talk so much to your mother, let her take medicine and rest well, and tell her tomorrow if there is anything."
The old doctor opened the curtain and walked in at some point, and his temper was as good as ever, but his heart was good.
"Got it." An Yi, the two siblings are very well-behaved in front of the old doctor.
As soon as he walked out, An Yi Anxi told Mo about the past two days.
The next day, the third day.
An Xi was idle and bored, so he took his sister An Jiao to the street.
"Rock sugar gourd, sell rock sugar gourd."
An Jiao's eyes stared straight at the rock sugar gourd, and her saliva was about to flow out.
An Xi smiled when he saw this.
"Do you want to eat?"
Xiao Anjiao nodded and shook her head again.
"Let's have two."
"Okay, two pennies."
An Xi paid the money, handed two strings of rock sugar gourds to Xiao Anjiao, and said with a smile.
"Take a bite and see if it's delicious."
Xiao Anjiao nodded, bit down on her small mouth, and then showed a satisfied and happy smile.
"Sister, this is delicious, you can eat it too."
The rock sugar gourd that An Jiao was holding in her little hand handed it to Anxi.
An Xi cooperated and took a bite and rubbed her sister's hair.
I came to the meat bun shop that day and bought a few for An Jiao to eat.
"Sister, I'm so full."
An Xi smiled and hooked her nose and said.
"My little baby is finally full."
An Xi pulled An Jiao forward, thinking about what she would buy to go back in two days.
Salt is required, and stir-fry is required.
Sucrose is also needed, and sugar water should be used.
Soy sauce is also required, and seasoning is required.
There is also vinegar, canola oil.
As for the commonly used freshness, she can pick some wild mushrooms and dry them and grind them into powder.
She can also make her own chili sauce.
Well, then buy the ones you won't do yourself.
There was also a large wooden barrel, which was to be bought and returned to the village chief's family, after all, the barrel of the other family was broken.
If you have rice, you still have some at home, but you still have to buy a few more buckets to put it, after all, there is not much rice at home.
As for the taro and sweet potatoes planted on the two acres of dry land, they can be eaten as rice or boiled in sugar water and drunk.
In addition, buy some cloth to make clothes.
How much does it cost?
But with more than 20 taels in her hand and fishing skills, she is not panicked at all.
"Sister?"
An Jiao shook An Xi's sleeve.
Anxi returned to his senses.
"What's wrong?"
"Why don't you leave?" Xiao Anjiao tilted her head and asked.
"Uh."
Only then did An Xi realize that he had forgotten to walk just now thinking about things! How stupid is this to not be able to do two things?
"Ahem, my sister just thought about something."
"Sister, look at that, look good."
An Xi looked in the direction of her finger.
It turned out to be an old man selling candy.
Looking at it closely, I felt that the old man's hands were dexterously controlling the sugar man in his hand.
One will pinch out the shape of a mouse, and the other will pinch out the shape of a rabbit.
Among the animals of the zodiac, the old man is proficient.
And the children watching in front of him watched him make candy men seriously and curiously.
Every time the old man pinched out a candy man, the children clapped their palms and applauded.
"This one is mine." A child said.
"Mine mine, I came first."
The old man smiled, "Don't rob, don't rob, it's all there, it's all there." ”
This is the first time Anxi has seen a candy man, in her previous life, although she knew the existence of a sugar man, she also knew that this was a traditional craft.
But he never saw it with his own eyes.
She took Xiao Anjiao by the hand and walked towards the old man's house.
"Old man, how can this sugar man be sold?"
The old man focused on the candy blower, glanced up at An Xi, and replied.
"One penny, you can have any animal you want, rabbits, dogs, cats, you can do it."
"Then blow two rabbits for me, well, forget it, old man, I want four sugar people, you can blow four animals at will." An Xi said with a smile.
"Girl, but you have to wait, look at the monkey in front of you."
"Don't worry, I'll wait."
