Chapter 4 Trekking through Mountains and Waters

I don't know how long she slept, but when she woke up again, she found herself in a peasant house, being held in the arms of a woman dressed in coarse cloth, and when she woke up, her black and yellow face immediately raised a smile, and whispered to her: "You wake up, are you hungry, do you want to eat!" ”

When she said this, Du Danshen immediately felt hungry, and she didn't know how long it had been since she had eaten, so she couldn't wait to open her small mouth.

The woman looked at her with a very gentle expression, hugged her with one hand, reached out and picked up a bowl next to her, she didn't know what food was in the bowl, she couldn't tell, the other party's spoon was fed to her mouth, she immediately opened her mouth, the warm liquid slipped down the corner of her mouth into her mouth, smashed her mouth, and swallowed it into her stomach, she tasted some rice flavor, this is probably rice soup or something, but there should be something else to find in it, but she can't eat it.

Spoonful after spoonful, people fed her, she ate into her stomach, no waste, until she ate most of the bowl, only to feel a little full stomach, worried that after being hungry for a long time, this fierce eating too much, will support the problem, but in time to stop the mouth, but in her heart still want to eat, but the current situation, in the end, she is a little unable to feel at ease.

The woman in front of her is also dressed as an ancient, she has a thick callouse on her hands, and when her fingers touch her skin, there is a rough tingling sensation, which is still the feeling when the other party intends to show gentleness, and the clothes on her body are also very rough, looking at the style, it looks like an ancient peasant woman, her hair is tied in the simplest bun, and a hairpin made of bamboo pieces is tied at the back of her head, and several strands of hair are scattered down, which looks a little messy.

She was a little anxious, why did she come to this farmhouse, the old man who picked her up before, compared to this farmer, she cared more about the old man, after all, he was the first to find himself and rescue her from the predicament, thinking of this, she couldn't help twisting her neck and looking around, making people feel that she was looking for someone at a glance.

This peasant woman is about thirty or forty years old, and she should also have a lot of children, looking at her like this, she couldn't help but laugh and said: "Are you looking for your grandfather, he is eating out, and now I will take care of you, you have to be obedient, you can't cry." ”

The woman spoke to her very patiently, and understood the meaning of her words, but Du Danshen was a lot more relieved, and felt that this woman was quite kind, and couldn't help but smile at her.

The woman looked at her without crying or making trouble, and smiled at herself, and with a happy look on her face, she reached out and touched her face, and said with a smile: "Look how good-looking you are, you must be a beautiful girl when you grow up." ”

Zhu Danshen couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, such a big child, you can see the beauty and ugliness there, but this woman is coaxing her, maybe she thinks that she is born white and tender, that is, she is good-looking, and she doesn't take her words seriously, but an adult, talking to her so seriously, it makes her feel good.

After a while, I heard a voice outside the door: "Can the child eat?" ”

The woman hurriedly stood up with the child in her arms, and replied in a loud voice: "Eat, eat, eat most of the bowl, and look at the feeding mouth, it is very good." As he spoke, he was already carrying her and walking out the door.

After a period of bumps, she saw the old man, and before she could show a smile, the woman was the first to say: "Doctor Du, look at it, this is full of food and drink, look at how energetic, and you were smiling at me just now." ”

As soon as Du Danshen heard this, he was about to crack his mouth and smile, and immediately took it back, if he laughed too much, it would make people see the weirdness, but it would not be good, she was just a baby, a real baby, but she couldn't be regarded as a monster, so when she thought about it, the look on her face was also tense.

Dr. Du looked at the child and saw that she was doing well, so he was relieved, so he smiled and said to the woman: "I bother you to take care of it more, and our grandparents must not disturb us for one night today......

The woman thought that she was also a real person, and when she heard this, she actually showed some embarrassed looks: "Look at what you always say, you don't eat and drink for nothing, but you give money, if you really want to talk about it, it's our little family, I'm embarrassed." ”

The two of them were polite, and then Du Danshen still stayed in this woman's place, thinking that Dr. Du was not too good at taking care of children.

After figuring out the current situation, she had nothing to worry about at this time, and soon fell asleep peacefully, as a baby, except for eating and sleeping, there are always other things, she can't worry about it.

On the second day, after a breakfast, the grandparents and grandchildren set off, and Du Danshen didn't know where they were going, but where the old man took her, she followed her, and she didn't care very much, as long as she didn't throw her away and feed the wild wolves.

The grandfather and grandson trekked all the way through the mountains and rivers, and when they met someone, they would exchange money for some food with someone, or at the foot of a certain mountain, he would leave her at someone's house for a few days, and he would go into the mountain alone to collect medicine, and then take her to continue the journey.

Along the way, it also made her worried, afraid that this old man, if she was left behind, she would not come back, or she would be directly given to a certain family, she was also glad in her heart, she was a girl, most of these families were poor, and it was not easy to support their own children, how could they raise other people's children, or a girl.

After walking so far, she also saw that most people are patriarchal, and she couldn't help but feel a kind of unkind in her heart, this is really an era that is not friendly to her.

So all the way forward, about 20 days, Du Danshen's white and tender little face, obviously thinned, although she is not picky at all, the food fed to the mouth has been eaten, every time there is full, but what she eats is not the best food for babies - breast milk, but some rice soup, vegetable soup, wheat soup, these people living on the side of the mountains and forests, are not rich people, even if you have money, people have nothing, can boil out a bowl of rice soup, are all solid people, many people, The family is so poor that they don't have anything to eat, and there is no way to do it.

Doctor Du looked at her increasingly thin face, the look on her face was not very good-looking, the little baby should have been carefully raised, but with him trekking through mountains and rivers, it was really difficult for her, reached out and touched her little face, sighed: "If you follow me all the way like this, you will be so thin that you only have a handful of bones left, how can you grow big!" ”

Eucommia ulmoides is also impossible, one of his friends is seriously ill and urgently needs a few herbs, this medicine is extremely difficult to find, and there is nothing for sale in the pharmacy, so he personally went into the mountains to pick it, and there are still two herbs missing.
