Chapter 2: Picking Up an Ancestor
As soon as Li Jingmo left, Aunt Lian closed the door, walked to the bed, and saw Ye Chaoyan lying in Li Jingmo's quilt, covered by a belly pocket on his body, lotus root-like arms and snow-white shoulders were largely exposed, green silk like a waterfall, pink carved jade, like a painting.
In the countryside, when a man chooses a woman to go home and lives in the same room, everyone will think that they are husband and wife.
Aunt Lian secretly called Li Jingmo blessed, how good it would be if she was picked up by her family's big pillar.
"Girl, do you know your name?"
In this tone, not only did I think she was injured, but I also felt that her head was injured.
Ye Chaoyan had never been in contact with this kind of folk woman in his previous life, so he felt very interesting, so he pretended to be well-behaved and answered Aunt Lian's questions one by one, and by the way, he also inquired about Li Jingmo's situation.
Li Jingmo's family originally belonged to a wealthy family in Xiaolianzi Village, and he was the youngest of the three sons in the family. A few years ago, his second brother Li Wenyuan was seriously injured by robbers on the way to study in the town, and in order to treat Li Wenyuan, the Li family almost used up their savings, but Li Wenyuan still did not get better, and is still paralyzed in bed.
Li Jingmo's eldest brother and sister-in-law were dissatisfied that the family's money had been spent by the second child, and they broke up.
The family property was divided into three parts, but there was only one house, in terms of partitions, the eldest brother of the Li family had a child, and if he occupied one more house, the house would not be enough, so Li Jingmo moved out of the old house, built a small courtyard in the east of the village, built two rooms, and lived alone.
He is eighteen years old this year, and he has already reached the age of marriage, but the current situation of the Li family, no one in ten miles and eight towns dares to marry his daughter.
Everyone in the village knew that Li Jingmo was handsome and well-read, and they all felt sorry for him, but he didn't care much about it, and he was quite indifferent.
Ye Chaoyan didn't expect Li Jingmo to be so miserable in his life.
Her heart suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Li Jingmo came in with a bowl of millet porridge, without looking at Ye Chaoyan, and handed it directly to Aunt Lian, "Excuse me." ”
Aunt Lian smiled warmly and took the porridge.
Li Jingmo turned around and went out.
Ye Chaoyan was hungry before he fainted, and when he smelled the fragrance of millet, his index finger moved, and he smacked his pink tongue, like a kitten waiting to be fed, and it looked particularly painful.
Aunt Lian saw it, and smiled while stirring the porridge, "I smelled it, and I put sugar, San Lang is really a careful person, Miss Ye, come and taste whether it is sweet or not." Ah! There's an egg lying in there! ”
Eggs and millet are ordinary things for Ye Chaoyan.
However, seeing this four-walled house, Ye Chaoyan felt a little touched in his heart.
Li Jingmo still has a bit of humanity in his life.
Ye Chaoyan saw that Aunt Lian was enthusiastic, and wanted to rub her and Li Jingmo, she went over perfunctorily, finished eating porridge and eggs, her stomach was much more comfortable, and she yawned, saying that she wanted to send off guests.
Aunt Lian sent the bowl and never returned.
Ye Chaoyan heard a slight noise outside, got out of bed with his clothes on, put up his embroidered shoes and walked out, and when he arrived at the door, he saw Li Jingmo sitting at the stone table in the courtyard fiddling with medicinal herbs.
She saw that it was all for swelling and pain relief, and guessed that it was for her, but her back had been around for a day, and now she should use the medicine to renew the bones and tendons. Obviously, he didn't understand medical science.
Coincidentally, in this life, Ye Chaoyan is the daughter of the owner of the pharmacy, and in her last life, she likes to mix fragrances, refine medicines, cook tea, and listen to music.
Seeing Li Jingmo's smell and recognition, she walked over lightly and asked, "Where did you get this medicinal herb?" ”
Li Jingmo turned his head to look at her, and was surprised, this girl looked delicate, how could she wake up and speak to him, the life-saving benefactor, with a tone that wanted to overwhelm him?
He even had the illusion of picking up an ancestor.
He said lightly, "Some of them are picked from the mountains, and some of them are bought from the village doctor." ”
Ye Chaoyan nodded, pointed and said, "Safflower, frankincense, turmeric and mulberry parasitism, two dollars each, pour vinegar and knead it, then fry it in a pot, grind it into powder, and you can use it." ”
Li Jingmo's eyelids jumped, "Will you do this?" ”
Ye Chaoyan had a little pride on her face, "I haven't had time to tell you yet, my father is a doctor." ”
Li Jingmo couldn't help but think of the second brother who was paralyzed in bed, and for the time being, he didn't care about her attitude, weighed the medicine according to what she said, and began to process it.
Ye Chaoyan sat next to him and watched, not forgetting to explain, "Grind it a little finer, you didn't get the medicine on my back now, and I was in a panic." ”
Li Jingmo: "......"
How can this make people arouse?
Under the guidance of Ye Chaoyan, the medicinal materials went through one procedure after another, turned into a fine powder and turned into a paste.
It's getting dark, too.
After a simple dinner, Li Jingmo said that he was going to find Aunt Lian to come over and help Ye Chaoyan change the dressing, Ye Chaoyan glanced at the sky, "You still have to go to someone else at night, won't you change it?" ”
Li Jingmo looked at her pretty face, remembering the situation when he carried her home late at night and helped her deal with the wound on her back, and his eyes deepened.
He said, "Let's go and call Aunt Lian, it's not far away." ”
People in the countryside have no entertainment at night, and some people are reluctant to light the lights, so they can only sleep in the dark.
Aunt Lian came happily when she heard that she was going to change the medicine for Ye Chaoyan.
After cleaning up the previous medicine, you need to dry it for a while when applying the new medicine, otherwise it will all be stained on your clothes and quilt.
After finishing everything, Aunt Lian said goodbye and left, and Ye Chaoyan lay on the pillow to dry.
The oil lamp is like a bean, the room is silent, she heard insects chirping and frogs chirping outside, and her thoughts couldn't help but turn to the previous life, counting the past with Li Jingmo, in addition to being indifferent or strange, she really couldn't find any trace of warmth.
There was a sudden itch on his arm, Ye Chaoyan came back to his senses, his eyelashes fell, and then his apricot eyes widened in fright, and he opened his mouth and shouted, "Ahhhhh
As the door clattered, a tall figure rushed in, "What's wrong?" ”
Ye Chaoyan knelt on the bed and was still shaking her arms, her face was so frightened that her face was pale, her pink lips trembled slightly, she was very aggrieved when she saw Li Jingmo, how could she have suffered such a crime?
As soon as his pink lips were flattened, his eyes turned red, and he sobbed and said, "There is a cockroach lying on my arm, and it scared me to death-"
Li Jingmo thought something was wrong, and when he heard the anxiety in the eyes of the cockroach, he retreated, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on her half-naked body, under the dim light of the oil lamp, her skin was delicate as if it had been smeared with grease and honey, and he quickly turned around and left.
Ye Chaoyan was still in shock, and shouted: "Li Jingmo, don't go!" ”
Li Jingmo's body stiffened, and he turned his back and said, "It's just a cockroach, if you're afraid, I'll burn some wormwood." ”
Ye Chaoyan said "oh", but she didn't dare to lie down anymore, she always felt that there were other insects on the bed, she put on her coat, put on embroidered shoes, and stood by the bed to wait.
After a while, the aroma of wormwood wafted in the house, but it was a little flustered to order wormwood directly, and Ye Chaoyan's thin white hand couldn't stop rubbing the tip of his nose.
Li Jingmo lifted the quilt and shook it off, and re-laid it again, a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead, turned around, and saw Ye Chaoyan leaning against him, so he almost grabbed his arm and didn't let go.
The aroma of the girl's body mixed with the smell of herbs hit her nose.
He rolled his Adam's apple, and his voice was a little hoarse, "You sleep, it's okay." ”
Ye Chaoyan nodded, walked to the side of the bed, stroked the quilt with his little hand, slowly lay down, hugged the pillow, tilted his head, and looked at him, "Where are you sleeping?" ”
Li Jingmo pointed to the table, "I read a book." ”
Ye Chaoyan was relieved, so that if there were any more insects at night, she would be able to call him immediately.
Just like that, two people are in the same room, one is lying on the bed lamenting the impermanence of the world, and the other is sitting firmly under the lamp and wandering in the sea of books.
In their previous lives, they had never been so peaceful in the same room.
Ye Chaoyan couldn't help but tilt his head, looked at him, and thought, if he lived with him in this small mountain village in this life, what would be the result?
No, no, there are cockroaches here.
It would be nice if there was an incense to repel insects and protect the house, light a stove, it can also sterilize and remove dryness, and he can also calm his mind by reading next to him.
I don't know how long it took, Ye Chaoyan fell asleep, and at the third watch in the middle of the night, she wanted to turn over, but in her dream, she remembered that she had a wound on her back and couldn't turn over, so she changed her head to the side and put it aside.
Unexpectedly, a burst of aroma of herbs came to his face, Ye Chaoyan raised his eyelids, and in the dim light, he saw a bag of herbs next to his pillow.
At first, she thought it was a dream, but she rubbed her eyes and looked again, but the burden was still there.
She got up and untied her baggage and took a look, picked up and smelled one bag after another, cypress, cloves, angelica...... Isn't this the material used to make cypress?
But why do these things appear on the pillow in the middle of the night?
Could it be that Li Jingmo knew that she wanted to burn incense to repel insects and bought it for her?
She turned her head and saw that Li Jingmo was already asleep at the table.
Her head buzzed!
It's incredible.
It's just, thinking about it again, after she dies, she can be reborn and see Li Jingmo, this kind of thing has happened, what else can't happen?
At this time, Li Jingmo, who was sleeping at the desk, moved, and Ye Chaoyan hurriedly lay back on the pillow and pretended to sleep.
The next day, Ye Chaoyan got up early, and after Li Jingmo woke up, he saw that Ye Chaoyan was already sitting refreshed at the stone table in the courtyard pounding medicinal herbs.
Li Jingmo was a little strange, and his handsome face was still sleepy, "Where did you get these medicines?" ”
Ye Chaoyan's delicate face bloomed with a smile, and his voice was sweet, "I bought it from the village doctor, and I used these to make incense, and when I lit it in the house, it not only does not smell people, but also repels insects and protects the house, sterilizes and removes dryness, and inhalation can also clear away heat and dampness, dispel wind and relieve the surface." ”
She got up at dawn to pound the medicine, and at this moment the tip of her nose was already covered with a layer of fine sweat, and there was a layer of delicate crimson floating on her white and tender face, and a strand of hair slipped from her sideburns, which was frighteningly beautiful.
I sniffled squeamishly last night, and made incense early in the morning.
What a ...... Funny girl.
Li Jingmo responded lightly, "I'll cook." ”
Turning around, he had a smile on his face that he hadn't even noticed.
After breakfast, Ye Chaoyan continued to work again, Li Jingmo put down the long shirt that he had tucked in his belt when he was a child, smoothed his clothes, walked up to Ye Chaoyan and asked: "Which street in the city does your family live in, what is your father's name, and what your pharmacy is called, tell me." ”
Ye Chaoyan, who was pounding medicine, heard this, slowly raised his eyelashes, and looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to be smiling.
Inquire so carefully, is this such a thought for her?
"Today, someone in the village is driving an ox cart into the city, and I will ask him to bring a letter to your house, so that your parents will not find you and worry." Li Jingmo said the second half of the words unhurriedly.
Ye Chaoyan's expression froze for a moment.
It's really not a long memory, why do you still look forward to something happening to him in this life?
