Although the country of clouds is warm, when the frost falls, it is really cold for a few days, and there are many fish and shrimp under the water of Yunhu Lake, and the villagers living along the river rely on them.

When it was still dark, the widow at the head of the village opened the door tremblingly, with a fishing net in her hand and a fishing basket on her back, wanting to catch two big fish before the market began, so that she could get medicine for her sick grandson.

Lai's widow was miserable, her husband was arrested to join the army, but he died in battle, leaving her to live with her young son, and finally looked forward to her son growing up and marrying a daughter-in-law, but she didn't enjoy a few days of happiness, and her son fell into the river when he went fishing, and was entangled in the aquatic weeds in the river and drowned.

Seeing a room full of widows, there was no hope, fortunately, the daughter-in-law was pregnant, but the daughter-in-law was also sick and weak, and she gave birth to a grandson in nine months, and died in childbirth.

For a while, the old mother and baby, why not be miserable, the villagers also looked at her pitiful, and the east and west families supported her, so that they could live. No matter how much money is received, the grandson will go to the ground in less than a month, and it is difficult to raise his weak body.

Widow Lai gritted her teeth, fished and went to the market to sell during the day, and sewed and embroidered for large families at night, so that she raised her grandson to the age of fourteen or fifteen, but unfortunately the child was sick and weak, and looked like a ten-year-old.

Feeling the darkness and going out, Widow Lai slowly approached the river with a lantern, scattered the prepared fish food into the river little by little, heard the sound of water splashing in her ears, and threw the net down with force, and then slowly withdrew it.

Widow Lai panted and opened the fishing net, picked up the small fish and threw them back into the river, put the big fish into the basket, counted them again, nodded with satisfaction, turned around and picked up the lantern and prepared to go home.

Out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to see a white figure lying on the ground not far away, and Widow Lai gasped, thinking that she had met some ghost.

His legs and feet sped up, and he wanted to hurry home, but he turned his head and saw that the white shadow didn't move, and frowned again, if a living person accidentally fell into the water...... Hurriedly returned again, slowly carrying the lantern and approaching the white shadow.

The old hand, like the bark of a dead tree, slowly approached the tip of the man's nose, and sensing some faint breath, the widow breathed a sigh of relief, so she put down the lantern, stuffed the fishing net into the basket, helped the man to his feet, and walked slowly home.

During the day, Lai Widow went out to sell fish, changed the medicine for her grandson, and remembered that there was still a person in the water at home, so she asked the doctor to go home.

When Mi Shu woke up, she only felt a splitting headache, and looked around again, only then did she know that she had been rescued.

Lai Xiaoyi has never seen outsiders except for the people in the village, and when she woke up at this moment, she was a little at a loss, "You...... You're awake. ”

Mi Shu sat up with her body propped up and looked at the child next to the bed, "You saved me?" ”

Lai Xiaoyi's face was a little feverish, and he rarely spoke to girls, "My grandma...... She brought you back. ”

Mi Shu heard that his childish voice was crisp and his stature was not high, so she thought it was just a child, frowned, and was thinking about what to say, when Widow Lai came back.

Seeing that she had woken up, she said happily: "The girl is awake?" But what else is uncomfortable? ”

As he spoke, he beckoned the doctor to come in, and helped her lie down by the bed, "I found a doctor to show the girl, and the girl should lie down first." ”

The doctor was old and dazzled, so he just checked the pulse casually, and said, "It's just that I'm suffering from some wind and cold, it's not a big deal, just drink some soup to ward off the cold." ”

Widow Lai breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay." With that, he sent the doctor out of the door.

looked at Mi Shu again, and said with a smile: "Is the girl hungry?" The old woman went to make something to eat. ”

said to Lai Xiaoyi: "Xiaoyi, you pour some water for the girl to drink, and grandma will go cook." ”

Lai Xiaoyi blushed and poured a glass of water and handed it to Mi Shu, who smiled and thanked her, "Thank you, your name is Xiaoyi, right?" Lai Xiaoyi nodded, Mi Shu saw that he was silent, and said, "Why didn't you see your parents?" ”

The corners of Lai Xiaoyi's mouth fell, and she said, "My father and mother are dead, only me and my grandmother." Mi Shu's smile froze.

I didn't know what to say, so the two of them sat there silently. I could only hear the roosters barking and the dogs barking outside the house, which was very lively.

The small village is called Laijia Village, but more than 20 families, from the head of the village to the end of the village, there is no time to burn incense, the people are simple, although they are not rich, but every family is enough to eat and wear.

Mi Shu stayed here for ten days before she realized that Xiao Yi was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and it was only because of her frailty that she had always looked like a child.

Widow Lai rescued her, the family added a mouth, Lai Xiaoyi couldn't stop taking medicine for a day, and had to take a few more errands, Mi Shu couldn't bear to work so hard at her age, so she thought about trying to get some silver.

Next to the village next to the Yunhu River, behind the barren grass mountain, the climate of Yunguo is mild, and there are no precious medicinal herbs to grow, but ordinary medicinal herbs can also be sold for silver.

Thinking so, he took advantage of the evening dinner and said to the widow: "Mother-in-law is old, don't work so hard, I have studied medicine at home for a few years, today I see that the mountains are rich in vegetation, tomorrow I will go to find some medicinal herbs, so that you can sell them in the market." ”

Widow Lai's eyes lit up, and she said in surprise: "Miss Shu has actually studied medicine, so she must be literate." ”

As he spoke, he pulled Lai Xiaoyi to get up, "The old woman has a grandson, and I don't ask him to be able to soar, but he is weak, and the old woman will leave in the future, so it doesn't make sense to let him go fishing." ”

"Let him and Miss Shu learn to read some words, and then go to those inns and restaurants in the city to be a bookkeeper." I bowed down to worship her.

Mi Shu hurriedly got up and helped Widow Lai up, "Mother-in-law doesn't need to be so polite, I originally wanted to take Xiao Yi with me to teach him to read and learn medicine, he knows how to heal, and if he feels unwell in the future, he can find herbs by himself, and he doesn't have to spend money to buy them." ”

Widow Lai was overjoyed, and hurriedly pushed Xiao Yi to kneel, "Come and see Master." ”

Xiao Yi blushed, and refused to say those two words, Mi Shu smiled: "I'm not a few years older than Xiao Yi, it's inevitable to call the master, just call my sister." ”

"Hey, hey." Widow Lai nodded again and again, and pushed Xiao Yi again, "Call my sister quickly." ”

Xiao Yi called her sister softly.

Mi Shu knew that he was awkward, so she only nodded, and motioned for him to get up.

"You will follow me in the future, although I am not a famous doctor, but I can still teach you some ordinary diseases, and in the future, you will have a skill, and you will not have to worry about food and clothing."

Widow Lai is very happy, she has been worried about how the child will live after her death, but she doesn't want to save the girl is a master, not only literate and hyphenation, but also medical skills, as long as her grandson learns this skill, she will go to Huangquan and have an explanation with her son, wiped her tears, and only let them eat more.
