Xiao Qi drove the mule cart to Xiaozhao Village for half an hour, and there was a big tree at the entrance of Xiaozhao Village, blocking the road, and the village couldn't even hear the barking of dogs, and the whole village was in a state of closure.

Xiao Qi jumped out of the car, walked to the side of the carriage, lifted the curtain and said to Ah Fu: "Brother, let's stop here first, don't worry, you can find the doctor soon." ”

Xiao Qi put down the curtain and walked to the horizontal tree, picked up the big tree with his hand and moved a little, looked back and saw the big head look surprised, so he said: "Brother Big Tou, don't be surprised, I am naturally strong, it should be no problem to move this tree, but moving the tree during the day may attract the attention of the villagers, why don't I go into the village to explore the situation and see where the doctor lives." ”

Xiao Qi took out the cloth towel given by Hua Xi'er to cover his face and only showed his eyes, then found a cloth towel and handed it to the big head: "Big brother, it might be better to cover your mouth and nose with this." ”

The big head took the cloth towel and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth: "Look at you tied like a bandit, I won't wear it first, you go into the village to be careful, I'll take care of your brother here." ”

There are less than 20 households in Xiao Zhao Village, and Xiao Qi quickly touched the end of the village from the head of the village, and she really couldn't tell which household was the home of the barefoot doctor.

After wandering like a headless fly for a while, she knocked on a house in the westernmost part of the village, and it was a middle-aged man with a yellow face who opened the door, and he immediately shuddered when he saw Xiao Qi: "I, we are very poor, and there is nothing at home." ”

This is the second time today, does she really have to be so scary, Xiao Qi thought about it and felt that the problem might be her dress, so she ripped off the face towel, threw the other woodcutter around her waist to the ground, and said to the middle-aged man: "Fellow, you see I'm still a child, don't be afraid." ”

The man breathed a sigh of relief: "What fellow, I don't know you, it's also scary for a child to chop a woodcutter with his face covered, okay?" ”

Xiao Qi put on a harmless smile: "I heard that there is a barefoot doctor in your village, I just want to ask where the doctor lives?" ”

The middle-aged man frowned and looked at Xiao Qi: "How did you find it, it's an extraordinary time, people from other villages are not welcome in our village, you leave quickly." With that, he closed the courtyard door.

The courtyard wall of this family is very low, Xiao Qi climbed the wall and held up the two cakes in his hand, looked at the middle-aged man with eager eyes and said, "Uncle, I'll give you two cakes, you can help show the way." ”

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up when he looked at the cakes, his daughter Xiaoxia was already so hungry that she collapsed on the bed and couldn't walk, he really couldn't refuse these two cakes.

The middle-aged man made a shushing gesture to Xiao Qi, opened the courtyard door lightly, and after receiving the cake, he looked at the left and right sides of the courtyard a few times, and whispered: "You go to the left, the fifth house is, like my house, the courtyard gate faces south, don't tell others that I told you." ”

Xiao Qi returned to the entrance of the village, tied the mule, and carried Ah Fu from the car.

When the big head saw Ah Fu's feet dragging to the ground, he said, "I'll carry it, I'm taller than you." ”

Ah Fu's face was as red as a shrimp, and he whispered softly: "Sister, I've hurt you." ”

The big head took Ah Fu on his back, entered the village with a deep foot and a shallow foot, walked to the courtyard door pointed by the middle-aged man, and knocked lightly a few times but no one answered.

The big head wanted to slam the door vigorously but was stopped by Xiao Qi: "Don't make too much noise, attracting other people's families over may drive us out of the village, you wait outside first, I'll go inside to see the situation inside." ”

At this time, Xiao Qi couldn't talk about the rules and went directly into the yard, and when he looked at it, he saw two thatched houses, the doors were not closed, and there was nothing in the yard except a haystack, Xiao Qi smelled a strong smell of wine in the courtyard, and she asked softly: "Is there anyone?" ”

After a while, seeing that no one should Xiao Qi walked into the house, and found an old man with gray hair and beard lying on the ground, and there was an empty big wine jar next to the old man. ”

Xiao Qi turned around and ran out to open the courtyard door and let the big head in.

After the big head entered the house, he put Ah Fuan on the chair and walked over to help Xiao Qi carry the old man to the bed.

The old man of the Xiaoqi Gang covered the quilt and looked at the old man with a melancholy face: "After drinking so much, I don't know when I will wake up, my brother is still in a hurry to see a doctor?" ”

Datou looked around the house for a week, and found that there were a lot of herbs in the house, so he said: "I see that your brother only has a fever, and there are no symptoms such as cough, I know several herbs to reduce fever, I will see if I can find some for your brother to drink first." ”

Xiao Qi: "Big brother, you are so powerful, you actually understand this." ”

The big head pointed to the cotton clothes he was wearing: "When the county didn't come to arrest the doctor, there were many patients in Fushengtang every day, and there were not enough people, so I took Xiaobei to help for a few days. ”

The big head searched for a while in the pile of herbs, and he really found a small pile of herbs to reduce fever.

At this time, it was already slightly dark, Xiao Qi found a fire fold, lit an oil lamp, and boiled herbs for Ah Fu.

After Ah Fu finished drinking the medicine, Xiao Qi said to Datou: "It's already dark, let's rest here for the night, let's go back tomorrow." ”

After saying that, Xiao Qi went to the entrance of the village, the mule was standing alone next to the big tree and snorting, Xiao Qi looked up at the mule's eyes and whispered: "I call you Da Hei, thank you for your hard work, Da Hei, you must not make a sound, I will take you quietly into the village now." Saying that, Xiao Qi took out a piece of bean cake from his baggage and raised his hand to feed it to Da Hei.

After Da Hei ate the bean cake, while it was dark, Xiao Qi quickly moved the big tree away and led the mule cart into the village, Da Hei seemed to understand Xiao Qi's words, and he didn't scream, and even the hooves seemed to be handled lightly along the way.

After entering the courtyard, Xiao Qi led the mule to the haystack: "Da Hei, you will rest here at night, remember not to make a sound." Da Hei blinked his eyes, as if in response to Xiao Qi's words.

The first thing Xiao Qi did after entering the house was to touch his brother Ah Fu's forehead: "Big brother, my brother doesn't seem to be as hot as during the day." ”

The big head also probed Ah Fu's forehead with his hand: "It's really not as hot as during the day, it seems that this medicine is still useful." ”

Ah Fu has sobered up a lot: "Sister, I feel much better. ”

Xiao Qi listened to the snoring and looked in the direction of the bed: "The old gentleman is still asleep, I don't know if it will be okay?" ”

The big head sighed: "I have only helped in Fushengtang for a few days, and I can barely recognize a few herbs to reduce fever, but I don't understand the medicine for sobering up at all. ”

Xiao Qi and Da Tou took some straw from the haystack and spread it on the ground, took out the quilt in the carriage and wrapped it for Ah Fu, and then slept on both sides of Ah Fu.

Ah Fu lifted the corner of the quilt: "Sister, you also cover the quilt." ”

Xiao Qi: "Brother, you can build it yourself, it's troublesome to get cold again!" I'm so strong that I don't need a quilt. ”

Ah Fu may have drunk the medicine and quickly fell asleep.

Hearing that the big head kept turning over, Xiao Qi asked, "Brother Big Tou, are you cold?" ”

Big Head: "It's so much better than the ruined temple outside town." ”
