Time is like the stream behind the village, always quietly past, it is the end of the third year, this year, the men who went out came back one after another, there are still two men left who did not come back, just send their two medicines, the whole recipe is ready, they both use pigeons to bring the news to the family, everything is safe outside, but this medicine is a little troublesome.

Although the words are simple, everyone understands that the difficulty is just that the two of them don't want to talk about it.

The first thing everyone did when they returned to the village was to go to Dr. Xu's house first, the servants and servants in the past few years have been running around, leaving an indelible dust on the faces of many men, some of their temples are white, some are more wrinkled, and some are even a little jerky when they even speak, obviously they have lived alone in a no-man's land for a long time. After seeing everyone, Dr. Xu sighed secretly

"I'm sorry for you, brothers. ”

A few little dolls in the village can already run outside, but the adults have to watch the back, Ling Tian didn't go to join in the fun, he was held by Aunt Zhao, listening to the sound of those other little dolls running around babbling, his heart was also ready to move, but Aunt Zhao was not at ease, and led him to walk slowly, for fear of bumping into it.

At the end of the year, everyone went to Ling Hu's house again, it was very lively, the two brothers had not come back, the prescription was not complete, and everyone didn't say anything, Ling Hu asked where everyone had been in recent years, everyone just smiled, no one answered, and asked about the whereabouts of the two brothers of the Yang family and the Chen family, and everyone couldn't tell clearly, Dr. Xu remembered the two who hadn't come back yet, and he was very worried, but he was also drinking with everyone. didn't show it on their faces, many men also had the same thoughts as Dr. Xu in their hearts, and secretly said in their hearts that they hoped everything was safe.

The fourth year came, and not long after the New Year, the Chen family man came back, his face was full of exhaustion, and his body was full of vicissitudes, looking like he was ten years old, but his eyes were very excited, and he returned to the village and ran to Dr. Xu's house.

"Brother Xu is at home, fortunately, I finally brought back the phoenix bloodstone" The man of the Chen family shouted into the house, with a kind of pride in his voice.

"Brother Chen, please please ...... quickly" Dr. Xu was pounding medicine in the mortar, and hurriedly ran out to welcome him into the house when he heard the voice.

The man of the Chen family walked into the inner room and sat down, handed the burden to Dr. Xu, who took it and put it aside.

"Brother Chen, you can be regarded as back, I have been very worried about my brothers outside in the past few years, and I am relieved to see you this time, alas! I really didn't expect to toss my brothers for so long, I always tugged at it in my heart, for fear of ......" Doctor Xu kept silent, and both of them understood what it meant.

"It's all for the baby in Brother Ling's family, Brother Xu doesn't need to say that, it's also a loss to Brother Xu, and this time I have gained a lot of ability to go out together, next time I hunt together in the village, I will compare and contrast with my brothers. The Chen family man was full of emotion, waving his hands, a little impatient.

Doctor Xu carefully brought a cup of hot tea soup, gently placed it in front of the Chen family's man, found the pills that had already been made in the cabinet next to him, wrapped a large number of them, and handed them to the Chen family.

"Brother Chen, everyone is running around, I can't be idle at home, pondering the attributes of various medicines, and blending a lot of pills for the brothers in the village, the effects in them are the same, the main ingredient is still blood sesame mushroom, mixed with a few herbs, can lock most of the blood sesame mushroom yang breath, but I deliberately leaked a hole, let the breath flow out little by little, and disperse and reconcile the yang qi inside, before eating blood mushroom directly for two days, it basically has no effect, and it is particularly hot, now this pill has the same amount, this can be used for more than two weeks, and the effect is still the same。 Dr. Xu said.

"Oh, Brother Xu still has this method, then I'll try one" The Chen family man couldn't help it, and he still missed the taste of blood sesame mushrooms when he was outside. He directly picked up a pill the size of a red date and swallowed it into his stomach, and instantly his whole body was like a warm cover, opening up the blocked pores from head to toe, and began to greedily suck the yang qi around his body, and the wrinkles on his face gradually stretched, and the indescribable feeling of heartiness and endless dripping meaning were like fish in a hot spring, and like plants and trees in the sun, absorbing the warmth around him. And before swallowing the blood mushroom directly, it was like putting a piece of burning charcoal at the navel, and the heat was widely distributed to the body, but now it is not separated from each other, and the whole body is warmed together, as if the charcoal is crushed a little bit evenly, spread around the body at a glance, the heat is dispersed, and it is naturally not so hot.

After a long time, the man of the Chen family reacted and praised him: "Good medicine! What a good medicine!" Brother Xu, your ability is amazing, it takes a lot of thought." ”

"It's not that difficult, it's just a little troublesome when I first think about it, and it's not difficult to match the recipe. Dr. Xu said.

"By the way, Brother Xu, it's been four years since I left the village, I should be the last to come back, it took a lot of effort to find this thing. Now that the brothers are back, when are you going to start frying the medicine? I'll wait to see the results. The Chen family man asked.

Doctor Xu pondered for a moment, and a cloud of sorrow gradually enveloped his face

"Brother Chen, you don't know, and the elder brother of the Yang family didn't come back, the whole prescription was just like his medicine, and I also regretted letting him go, I should have gone by myself" Dr. Xu said, obviously very worried.

"Brother Xu said this, if you leave, who will take care of the problems of the old people and sisters-in-law in the village, how can the village leave you all these years, and what is the Yang family's brother holding in his hand?" asked the Chen family's man.

"The elder brother of the Yang family has the last medicine in the whole recipe, the dragon scorpion tail, the effect of clearing the fire and pulling out the poison and rejuvenating the eyes, the backbone of the recipe, and the rest of the medicine is all around this," Dr. Xu said.

"The brothers in the village are all going to some remote places, facing some dead things, either in the abyss or at the bottom of the lake, as long as you are more careful, there will not be much danger, and the brother of the Yang family is facing a living thing, a poisonous dragon and scorpion, this thing is not much, it is extremely difficult to find, not to mention, and it is very dangerous. Dr. Xu continued.

"Poisonous dragon scorpion, listening to the name, it is also a kind of scorpion, a palm-sized insect, it will hurt for a while at most, what is the danger?" asked the Chen family man puzzled.

"Brother Chen doesn't know, this insect is bigger than a newborn calf, very flexible, and likes to live in groups, if one of them is attacked, a group will immediately come out to sting you, and if you sting it, you will die, if the poisonous dragon scorpion can't resist in the end, it will destroy its tail and not let others get it, it is a very cunning huge poisonous insect." Dr. Xu explained that the man of the Chen family felt a chill down his spine when he heard this, and it was the first time he had heard that there was such a poison in the world.

"Brother Xu, don't worry too much, Brother Yang is very careful, I still remember the time with Gejiazhuang in our village a few years ago, it was Brother Yang who made a disturbance and created an opportunity for the little brother of the Wang family to escape, Brother Yang is fine, don't worry. The Chen family man comforted.

"I hope that as Brother Chen said, if something goes wrong, I can't explain it to Brother Ling, let alone the sister-in-law of the Yang family" Thinking of this, Dr. Xu's face was even more gloomy.

"The matter has come to this, Brother Xu has to worry, the elder brother of the Yang family has his own blessings, and he will definitely come back after a while. Brother Xu, I'm coming back and going straight to you, I haven't been to the house yet, I'm thinking about my mother-in-law and baby, and I'll be there soon, now I'll go home and have a look. After speaking, he put the pill in his arms and drank the tea soup on the table, they are all good brothers who are like each other, so naturally they don't have to be so polite.

After hearing this, Dr. Xu dissipated his sorrow and stood up to bid farewell to the Chen family

"Then I won't stay Brother Chen anymore, it's been really hard in the past few years, when Brother Yang comes back, let's go to Ling's house for a big meal together." ”

"Okay, let's go together" The two smiled at each other, and the Chen family went out to his house.

At night, Ling Tian pestered Aunt Zhao to sleep in another room. Ling Hu and his wife snuggled up on the bed, and the mother-in-law leaned on Ling Hu's shoulder, her fingers gently scratching back on his chest.

"Brother Ling, I'll give you another baby! Tian'er's eyes are like this, if you grow up, you won't be afraid of anything, so you will have a companion in the future." The mother-in-law thought for a moment and said.

"Why do you think like that? Tian'er is already like this, if he has another baby, I'm afraid that he will be wronged Tian'er, what will he think, besides, the brothers in the village are all here, are you still afraid that Tian'er won't be able to eat in the future?" Ling Hu said.

"Those who are not our blood relatives after all, and those who have brothers and sisters can be more assured," the mother-in-law retorted.

"Why is your big head so inconsiderate, don't say these words again, the brothers are more ruthless than the enemy, we haven't seen these things, the two brothers in the East Village Salt Shop, for the treasure left by his father, the two farmers have fought, don't we know? The brothers in the village I think they are closer than their own brothers, and then again, the most important thing is that you are not in good health, and you are afraid that there will be three long and two short when you give birth to a baby, you let me do it. Ling Hu said, but in his heart, he didn't want his mother-in-law to be reborn.

"Whoever you say has a big head, and the elm pimple with long hair on his face says who has a big head. The mother-in-law was angry on her face, and her heart was very sweet, knowing that the man was afraid that he was in danger, and he was also afraid of being snubbed.

The mother-in-law stretched out her hand and squeaked the man.

"Hahaha...... , Wrong, no, I'm a big head......" Ling Hu was itchy and hurriedly begged for mercy.

Outside the window, the night was darker, the moon hung in the sky, the flickering candles blew out in the last window, and the whole village was dark, and they went to sleep.
