Chapter Ninety-Two: Home Away
Fu Xiu took Mu Dianke to enter from the Western Pharmacy and walked a whole stick of incense before arriving at the back house.
The traffic inside is staggered, flowers and trees are planted all over, and the pavilions, lakes and stones are beautiful, which makes people feel comfortable and relaxed.
But it's busy.
In front of the building, on the shore of the lake, under the big trees, you can see young men and girls wearing blue and blue apprentice uniforms everywhere, gathering in groups of three or five.
or shake the fan and guard the medicine stove to decoct the medicine; or with a scroll in front of him, he copied it with a pen; Some people carry copper scales to weigh the medicinal materials, some people prepare the weighed medicinal materials according to the prescription and put them in a grid medicine basket, and some people carry the cradle to the lake, and then carry the empty basket back...... Busy but orderly.
A group of adult dolls sat on the grass by the lake, pulled out the prepared medicinal herbs one by one, poured them on mulberry paper, and skillfully bandaged and tied them.
When he was a little older and his bones had grown, he was responsible for carrying the bundled medicine packets to the roadside for loading.
It works together seamlessly.
Mu Dian can see the group of children who are taking medicine by the lake, the youngest is three or four years old, and the oldest is only seven or eight years old. The childishness between the eyebrows and eyes has not faded, the arms and faces are full of baby fat, and the partial appearance is very sophisticated, doing work seriously, and it looks very interesting and cute.
Rao is her heart has been sharpened on the killing field for a long time, forged as cold as a solid rock, and at this moment it is also like a spring breeze transiting, sand turning into mud, sprouting tender new shoots, soft, as if to melt.
A few milk dolls who couldn't walk were crawling on the grass, and the little girl wearing a silver collar looked up at Fu Xiu, giggling happily, and calling out with slurred lips: "Xiu... Chattered. ”
Stretched out his hand to hug him, the two little arms were soft and white, and the body was round and fat, like a glutinous rice dumpling.
Fu Xiu looked at Mu Dianke with a soft face, looked at the little girl's appearance and couldn't take her eyes off, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to hug her?" ”
Mu Dianke shook his head again and again: "I can't hold it well." ”
That little baby looks so tender, so soft, and completely unbearable, what if he is not careful, what if he is not careful?
Fu Xiu looked at her worried appearance and couldn't help but smile: "Don't be afraid, it's very simple." ”
He walked over and crouched down, took the giggling little girl in his arms, and showed her, "Look, that's it." As he spoke, he handed her the chubby white doll in his hand and hugged her.
Mu Dian is eager to try.
Fu Xiu encouraged her: "It's okay, you try." ”
Mu Dianke learned from the way he saw adults hugging children in the past, clapped his hands at the little girl, and stretched out his hand.
I didn't want the little milk baby who was giggling just now to change her face in an instant, her mouth was deflated, and she cried loudly, and she was so frightened that she went straight into Fu Xiu's arms.
Mu Dianke was stunned.
I remember what the old people said in the past, children's eyes are the cleanest, and they can see things that adults can't. I lost my mind for a while.
Is it true that he killed too much?
Fu Xiu was also stunned for a moment, and then smiled casually: "This kid is recognized, hey, he's older again, and he's still afraid of people, okay, okay, don't cry." ”
A five- or six-year-old boy who was bowing his head to unwrap mulberry paper raised his head and corrected seriously: "Brother Xiu, you have recognized the wrong person." This is a group, not a circle. Yuanyuan is afraid of people, Tuan Tuan is not afraid. ”
In a word, Fu Xiu was also a little embarrassed.
A seven or eight-year-old girl pouted at the little boy, put down the work in her hand and walked over, and hugged the little girl called Tuan Tuan back: "Tuan Tuan is good, Brother Xiu is busy, play by yourself." ”
took out a candy ball from her pocket and stuffed it into the little girl's hand, coaxed her not to cry, and lowered her head again and began to fold the medicine bag.
Mu Dian could go away with Fu Xiu, and faintly heard several children arguing behind him.
The little boy argued aggrievedly: "I'm not wrong, it was originally Tuan Tuan, Tuan Tuan had moles on his ears, but Yuanyuan didn't." ”
Another little boy said, "But if you say that, that sister will be sad......
"Really? Tongtong doesn't want me to hug me, and I'm not sad. ”
One girl said, "I don't like to hold children, they cry so much, and they are very heavy." ”
Fu Xiu smiled and led the words aside: "...... In order to free up manpower, part of the affairs of the original pharmacy and the accounting office were transferred to these apprentices.
There was a long queue of people waiting to buy medicine outside the pharmacy, and they all wished that they had eight hands......
I don't know which little guy took the lead, so I refused to go to school anymore and volunteered to help. Later, the husband also ran away and went to the porridge shed to help with the soup kitchen. Wait for the plague to be quelled, and then start classes, and some of these little ones suffer. ”
Fu Xiu is not a person who talks much, he is chattering at the moment, but he can't listen to it.
Mu Dian knew his good intentions, and said with a smile: "Are you all soldiers, regardless of women and children, old and young?" ”
Fu Xiu found this statement interesting and said with a smile: "That's really the case." ”
His complexion darkened slightly: "We are only guards at best, and it is the doctors in those epidemic areas who are suffering, and we have infected three more ...... today."
Mu Dian didn't know how to comfort him and said, "It's going to get better." ”
Fu Xiu smiled faintly and melancholy: "Yes, it will be fine, I just look forward to the day when the plague passes, there are still these people in Huairen Hall." ”
Xu Younan and others were placed by Li Zhe in a vacant courtyard house.
Originally used to store miscellaneous items, the yard has been locked for many years and covered with cobwebs and dust.
Grateful for Xu Younan's friendship in giving medicine, Yang Ye took a few guards to clean up very carefully.
With the housekeeper Zhang's mother to come to a few large pots of carved bonsai, in the courtyard, it is not enough, and moved a large goldfish tank with floating water lilies, swimming fish playing, aquatic plants swaying, quite interesting.
Then add tables, chairs, screens and other furniture, just like an elegant home courtyard.
Xu Younan wrapped a thick gauze around his head, paced slowly into the door, looked around the newly cleaned up courtyard, and looked at the newly cleaned up courtyard, and looked satisfied: "Well, it's an elegant and livable place, and you feel at home." ”
Yang Ye was stunned when he heard this: although he was a rough man, he hadn't read a few sentences. But the words "feel at home" are not used like this, right?
Xu Younan's mouth is not pleasant, but his heart is very thoughtful.
I heard that Huairentang was short of manpower, so he immediately sent Zhaoyang Zhaohui, who was not injured, to help. also repeatedly asked Yang Ye if there was anything he could do to help.
The unhappiness in Yang Ye's heart disappeared, and he was ashamed of his small belly.
Looking at Xu Younan's weak face again, after thinking about it, forget it: although Huairentang is short of manpower, it is not lacking in that position.
Yang Ye came out of the courtyard and met Fu Xiu and Mu Dianke coming over, and greeted with a smile: "Miss Nian has found it?" It's okay. ”
Mu Dian recognized that it was the man who was transporting rice and grain with Fu Xiu that day, and replied with a smile, and heard that Yang Ye had just placed Xu Younan over, so he had to thank him repeatedly.
scolded Xu Younan again in his heart.
Over there, Xu Younan didn't know it, his feet were nestled on a large recliner woven of wisteria wood, and peanuts were thrown into his mouth one by one.
"Old money, this place is good, huh?"
Qian Yu, who was known as "Old Qian", just sneered, and saw Fu Xiu and Mu Dianke entering the door by mistake, so he said: "You think it's good, I'm afraid that your eldest niece will be unhappy." ”
Xu Younan chewed peanuts and took another sip of tea, looking leisurely: "Hey, you just follow her too much." What does the little girl's family know? ”
Put the teacup on the small table: "That is, look smarter, when it is critical, stupid, not open at all!" ”
Qianyu's face, which had been cold since entering the door, finally warmed and thawed at this moment, and she got up and greeted her with a smile: "Found Miss?" Thank you so much Fu Zhangtang. ”
Xu Younan scolded in his heart.
