A vegetable garden has been opened on the left and right sides of the backyard of this Guanyin Temple, planted with local common vegetables, and the vegetable beds are cleaned up neatly, only the edge of the fence and some weeds grow under the courtyard wall. Lin Ruyu walked around the fence before pulling out a handful of dandelions and returning to the kitchen.

Seeing her come back, Shen Ge pointed to the back basket next to him and said, "I have packed up most of the things in the kitchen that can be eaten and used, and I will send them to the East Courtyard later, and you can take them properly." This temple has not been flooded, and soon someone will live in it, and we can't stop it. If we don't take these things, they will take them too. When there were more people who came, my third uncle and my son also moved to the East Courtyard. A few of us will hold the east courtyard and stay up until the flood waters recede, and then go down the mountain. ”

Lin Ruyu also had this intention, but she didn't have time to clean it up yet, "I hope the two people in the temple can come back." ”

"It's raining for so long, and they haven't come back yet, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult." Shen Ge said while cleaning the purslane picked back by Lin Ruyu, "Do you like to eat this?" ”

Lin Ruyu explained, "Purslane, also known as long-lived vegetables, can clear away heat and dampness, detoxify and drench. Chop it up and put it in porridge to stop dysentery and cure abdominal pain. We soaked in floods and rain, so we had to drink a few bowls of purslane porridge to prevent dysentery. ”

Shen Ge raised his starry eyes and looked at Lin Ruyu, and said half-jokingly, "Second sister knows a lot. Isn't your family in the cloth business, do you also sell medicinal herbs and open a medical clinic? ”

"Well, there are several medical centers that sell medicinal herbs." Seeing Shen Ge's round eyes and mouth wide open to make an exaggerated expression, Lin Ruyu laughed.

The Lin family does do a medicinal materials business, but her mastery of medicinal materials and pharmacology was not learned in the Lin family.

During her 17 years as an orphan, the director of her orphanage came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine. Lin Ruyu has been learning to memorize the atlas and pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine since she was sensible, and when she is older, she will go to the back mountain to take care of the medicinal materials planted on the mountain.

The director did not arrange this to train the children to become doctors, but to make the orphanage have some character. Because only orphanages are distinctive, they have attention, and they are worth reporting. With attention and reporting, there will be traffic and honor. These can be exchanged for money. If it weren't for this money, Lin Ruyu, who had a congenital heart gang, would not have lived to be seventeen years old.

But these things cannot be said to anyone. Because Mo said that they didn't believe it, if it wasn't too impressive and too real, Lin Ruyu herself suspected that the past seventeen years were just a dream of hers.

Seeing that the second sister who was amused by herself stopped laughing again, Shen Ge scratched her head, unable to understand what she was worried about. Didn't her mother and brother find them back?

Lin Ruyu washed the dandelion, put it in the medicine jar in the kitchen and boiled for a while, then brought the medicine jar to the small table in the kitchen, and called Shen Ge, who was washing vegetables, "Don't wash the vegetables, come and fumigate the wound on your arm with this hot gas, and when the medicine is not hot, then scrub the wound with medicinal juice." ”

I have a name...... Shen Ge muttered secretly, stepped forward and asked, "Does this work?" ”

"Only this flavor medicine, although it is not very useful, but it is somewhat helpful." When Shen Ge sat at the table and fumigated the wound on his arm, Lin Ruyu neatly took out the purslane and chopped it, put it in a pot, and simmered it.

After Shen Ge, who was sitting at the table, confirmed that there was no one around, he whispered about An Ziyuan, and then said, "I speculate that his real name is not An Ziyuan, even if he is really called An Ziyuan, it is not 'Xia Cai An Ziyuan'." Otherwise, he wouldn't have sworn so badly. ”

The people of Great Xia respect gods and ghosts, and attach great importance to oaths, and if they don't really have a clear conscience, they won't swear poisonous oaths. What An Ziyuan said was definitely not all, but he swore an oath.

Lin Ruyu was in a trance, if even the name An Ziyuan was fake, then who was he?

Is it really because of the greed for the Lin family's money that he is eyeing himself? But with the ability of Sichun beside him, and with his status that makes Fan Genyuan respect, how can he be short of money?

The taste of the hot fumigation wound was unpleasant, and Shen Ge, who was fighting the pain, didn't notice the change in Lin Ruyu's expression, and continued, "He is not Xia Cai An Ziyuan, and he will definitely not be able to stay in Xia Cai for a few days this time." Perhaps, he will go to Xia Cai and leave. ”

Lin Ruyu came back to her senses and analyzed along this line of thought, "Yes or no, send someone to find out." Even Xia Cai was flooded, but a character like An Ziyuan shouldn't sound difficult. An Ziyuan is very suspicious, if you force him to swear today, he will definitely suspect that you should not go out of the temple these days, and you should not stay alone in the temple, lest he be cruel to you. ”

"I know it wasn't a day or two that he wanted to kill me."

After the porridge in the pot was cooked, Shen Ge picked up the back basket, took the half pot of porridge covered with the lid of the pot and sent Lin Ruyu back to the east courtyard, then returned to the kitchen in the backyard, scooped the remaining porridge into the basin, and stuffed the rest of the kitchen into the back basket with the rest of the food that could be eaten and used, and brought it back to the kitchen of the west courtyard, and ate a clean meal with Shengzi and the three of them, and then returned to the east wing, fell asleep.

When An Jiachun went to the backyard to prepare lunch for his son, he found that there was nothing in the kitchen except a dirty pot, and his nose was almost crooked.

Lin Ruyu, who returned to the East Courtyard, warmed the porridge in the pot along with the wooden plate, mixed some noodles, and put it on the side of the pot to ferment.

After washing her hands, Lin Ruyu boiled a few dandelions that she had just pulled back in a medicine jar, fumigated and scrubbed the scratches on her body. After being a patient for 17 years, Lin Ruyu attaches great importance to health issues.

Putting away the dried clothes and bringing them back to the house, Lin Ruyu sat at the table and guarded her mother and younger brother, sewing and mending clothes.

Fang woke up and looked at his daughter for a long time before wiping away the tears that flowed out of nowhere, and got up.

When Lin Ruyu heard the movement, she hurriedly put down her needle and thread and walked to the bedside, and said in a low voice, "Is my mother's head still uncomfortable?" ”

Fang smiled and held her daughter's little hand, "My mother is much better, I don't have to lie down all the time." Jiaojiao brought the needle and thread, and her mother mended it. ”

"I'll make it up right away." Lin Ruyu first touched the teapot on the table, and found that the water was still warm, so she poured a bowl for her mother and brought it forward, before she brought the brown coarse cloth trousers she was mending to her mother, and said embarrassedly, "This is Brother Dafu's pants, and now the conditions are simple, and his daughter can only sew them for him." ”

Fang sat on the bed, mending the gaps in his trousers that were hung by tree branches.

Although it was raining outside, although the flood was raging, there was no food and clothing, but Lin Ruyu looked at her mother and felt that the years were quiet.

Fang's discussed with his daughter, "Daifuku is a good boy with solid eyes, and he saved your life." When we return to Xuanzhou, and your father also returns, he will move the name of Daifuku into the name of our big house. From now on, his mother raised him as her own son. What does Jiaojiao think? ”

If I can save my mother, I will definitely be able to save my father when I return from going to sea next year! Lin Ruyu gently leaned on her mother's leg and responded, "Well, Dafu will be my brother in the future." ”

The two talked for a while, Xiao Ah Heng also woke up, and when it was noon, Lin Ruyu asked Xiao Ah Heng to send Dafu's clothes to the West House, and told him to get up and prepare for dinner.

Umbrella to help her mother to the kitchen, let her sit by the stove, Lin Ruyu rolled up her sleeves and lifted the bamboo curtain on the basin, the meeting had already started, and the smile on her face became brighter.

Fang looked at the coarse dough in the pottery plate in surprise, and said in surprise, "Jiaojiao actually learned to make dough?" ”
