Chapter 3 The Year of Famine

Time flies, more than two years have passed, and now Chi Shui has learned more than 2,000 words, and some of the medical books of Dr. Ge's family have been read by Chi Shui. Chi Shui also knew a lot of herbs, learned some simple prescriptions, and was already half a little doctor. Doctor Ge was also very surprised by Chishui's ability to learn, and even said that it was a pity, if he was a boy, he would have been accepted as an apprentice.

Now the family has a small problem with headache and brain fever, and Chishui goes to pick herbs to cure it, if it doesn't get better, Chishui goes to consult Dr. Ge, which is also a little experienced. However, it was limited to the family, and the rest of the village did not dare, and they did not dare to let a seven or eight-year-old little girl treat them.

On the ridge of the countryside, a little girl carried a small medicine Lou on her back, and quickly ran to the neighboring village, with two twisted pigtails dangling behind her head, and the soil was so cute.

In fact, Chishui is also very helpless, she doesn't want to be like this in her heart, but when everyone dresses up like this, she can only follow the trend.

Chishui rushed into the door of Dr. Ge's house, and saw Dr. Ge, Aunt Ge and Aoki were all there, she ran over with a smile and put down her back, "Doctor Ge, see what I brought you?" As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bag and placed it on the wooden table.

Doctor Ge looked at the small cloth bag with some curiosity, then looked at Chishui, and asked, "Little girl, what is it?" So mysterious? ”

Aoki smiled and shook his head, looking like he was used to it.

Aunt Ge took a wooden bowl from the side, scooped a bowl of mountain spring water, and handed it to Chishui.

Chishui thanked Aunt Ge, and Gollum drank all the water at once before putting down the bowl. Then he unhurriedly opened the cloth bag and handed it to Dr. Go, so that he could see it for himself.

Doctor Ge squinted and looked carefully at the things that Brie was wrapping, it was a Yunzhi, which looked like it was more than a hundred years old. His face sank, "Ghost girl, have you entered the inner circle of the mountain?" ”

Chi Shui looked frightened, "You always guessed this?" Knowing that Dr. Ge was worried that she would go deep into the mountains to collect medicine, he hurriedly explained: "It's next to the outside of the mountain, not far, really." ”

"Is your mother sick again?" Aunt Ge looked at Chishui lovingly.

Aunt Ge's children are all working in Qingshan Township, and they come back a few times a year. In the past two years, Chishui has run back to her house every three days, and she has long been too ripe to be ripe anymore, and Aunt Ge also treats Chishui as a little granddaughter.

"Well, in the scorching summer these days, my mother has suffered from heat stroke, she is very weak, and she can't get out of bed, so I want to try my luck in the mountains." He laughed twice as he spoke, looking very lucky. Since her mother gave birth to her younger brother, her body has been weak, and she often suffers from minor illnesses, and spends nearly half of her time in bed a year.

"You kid, don't do this nonsense again, if you have something to do, go and see it first." Aunt Ge was also a little unhappy.

Chi Shui was very moved in his heart, Dr. Ge's family really regarded her as a relative. Hurriedly said that he would never dare to dare again in the future, and handed over the herb to Aoki and exchanged it for silver money, which was for her mother to catch the medicine. After talking to Aoki for a while, he borrowed a medical book from Dr. Go, and then left Dr. Go's house.

Walking on the road, Chishui's little face could no longer smile, and he looked at the rice fields on both sides sadly. This year's weather has been unusually harsh. It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, there is not much rain this year, and the summer is extremely hot, and it has not rained for a long time. The mud in the rice fields has cracked, and I can't resist the continuous sunny days.

In the high ground of the house, the wells have dried up, so they have to go to the low places to fetch water to drink. Even Dr. Ge's family went a mile away every morning to fetch mountain spring water.

Chishui's well had dried up twenty days earlier. If this continues, grain production will be greatly reduced, how will we survive next year? The more I thought about it, the more worried I became.

When she got home, Chi Shui handed over the medicine and the remaining silver money from Dr. Ge to the eldest sister, and after a while, she saw the nine-year-old girl from the neighboring Yuan family walking towards her.

When he got closer, Chishui saw that Yuan Ya's eyes were red and swollen, like two big eye bubbles of a goldfish. Busy asked, "What's wrong?" Who bullied? ”

Because they live closely, the two of them still often have contacts, and they are relatively close in age, and she is also familiar with Yuan Ya.

"I'm here to say goodbye to you, I'm leaving in a few days." Yuan Ya rubbed her eyes and said.

Chi Shui was surprised, "Let's go? Where are you going? As he spoke, he pulled Yuan Ya to sit down.

When the little girl heard Chi Shui's question, tears suddenly came out of her eyes again, and she couldn't stop it. Chishui helped her wipe while listening to her sobbing and swallowing, and it took a long time to sort out the general situation.

It turned out that there was a big drought this year, and Yuan Ya's father and mother saw that the grain production was going to be reduced, and there will definitely be not enough to eat next year. Yuan Da and Yuan Er have not yet married a daughter-in-law, even if they sell Yuan Ya to the city as a maid ring as soon as possible, they can still sell it for a good price. If everyone starts selling their sons and daughters when they are hungry, it won't be worth much. Anyway, sooner or later, it's better than going hungry with the whole family. Her father and mother had already contacted Su Yazi, who had just gone home to visit relatives, and received the person seven days later.

Chishui felt very uncomfortable when he heard it, but he couldn't cry with Yuan Ya, so he finally persuaded Yuan Ya, comforted her, and sent her home.

When she came back and thought about it, her family was no better than Yuan Ya's family. Her mother's health has not been well, and if the grain production is greatly reduced, there will definitely be an economic crisis.

The eldest sister is fifteen years old, and she will get married in the second half of the year, and the second sister is already engaged. The younger brother is only more than two years old, she is the only one who is not high or low, and she is a girl, if she wants to sell it, her father and mother will definitely sell her, thinking about it, Chi Shui immediately felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

While having dinner, Chi Shui carefully observed her father and mother, as if they hadn't thought about it yet. But I don't want it to mean that it doesn't exist, she is very sad in her heart, and a little sad, she already regards them as her relatives, and she will be reluctant to leave them.

But there are some things that can't be forced, it's just to survive. Her father and mother will definitely not be willing to sell her in their hearts, how can they be willing to raise her for another eight years.

But Chishui can't think like this, since he is a member of this family, he always has to help solve the family's difficulties. Yuan Ya's father and mother are right, they have to sell it sooner or later, why not sell it for a good price as soon as possible?

Chi Shui struggled in his heart for three days, and finally decided to pick up this burden, and there was nothing wrong with going out to see. She's an adult, not really an eight-year-old girl, and she's not so afraid of the unknown world outside.

That night, she told her father and mother about Yuan Ya, including Yuan Ya's thoughts about her father, her father and mother were still inexplicable, and Chi Shui said her own thoughts again, clarifying that she wanted to follow Yuan Ya outside to have a look.

Chishui's mother cried all of a sudden, saying that it was her body that dragged down the family. Her father looked gloomy on the side. They are all honest people who have been farming all their lives, they have never seen anything in the world, and they can't think of it so far, and now it is brought up by Chishui, which makes them feel indescribably guilty.

They all know that Chishui is a filial child, and the little man went to the mountains to collect medicine to subsidize the family, and now they heard her say that she wanted to go outside to see, so they didn't know that Chishui said this for their sake, and their hearts were even more unpleasant.

But Chishui has made up his mind and is determined to follow Yuan Ya. Chishui's father went to Yuan Ya's house, inquired about Su Yazi's situation, and heard that he was sent to a big household in Qingshan Township to be a maid, so he agreed. said hello to Yuan Ya and her parents, and when she came back, she locked herself in the house and stuffed herself for a night.

When Chijin Chimu heard that Chishui was leaving, he was so anxious that he cried, and he was very reluctant, and Chimu even shouted that he wanted to sell her. Chishui hurriedly persuaded her, the girl is too old to sell, and it is not worth a few dollars. The best thing to sell is a little girl between eight and ten years old, who is already sensible and easy to train, and the price will be higher.

The next day, Chishui went to Dr. Ge's house again, returned the medical book, and said his final goodbye. Doctor Ge, Aunt Ge, and Aoki were all very helpless after hearing this, so they had to carefully advise the people outside who were sinister, the heart of harming people, the heart of preventing people, and all kinds of principles for dealing with people, before letting Chishui go.

In the next few days, Chishui didn't go anywhere, only staying at home to accompany his relatives as much as possible. But that day finally came.
