It is a small village almost surrounded by mountains, the mountains are so high that almost the whole village is surrounded, there is a large lake in front of the village, which is where the children swim and bathe, only through the winding mountain road over the high mountains, most of the mountains are forests, the mountains are high and dense, and the cars and horses cannot enter and exit at all, so it takes three or five days to go out, and there is still some distance from the town, and the villagers of this small village live an isolated and self-sufficient life.

A boy who looks thirteen or fourteen years old, although he is not handsome, but his eyes are very spiritual, coupled with the strong muscles on his body, he has his own unique charm. But looking at his clothes are a little shabby, with patches everywhere, I think he is also a child of a poor family. "Crunch" An arm-thick dry tree fell to the ground, the result of the boy's axe down. Soon the boy chopped a bundle of firewood, put away the axe, and walked towards the village with the firewood on his back, the weight of which seemed to have little effect on him, and soon returned to the village, just after returning to the village. An aunt smiled and said, "Wang Xuan, are you back from chopping wood?"
"Mmmm, I have to go to the school to clean up in a while, Aunt Wang, I'll go first. Wang Xuan also responded with a smile. I heard my mother say that they moved later, and most of the people in this village have the surname Wang, and only a few people with other surnames should also move later. However, the people here are very enthusiastic about people with foreign surnames, and although they are not the original residents of the village, they are also surnamed Wang, and the people here have long regarded them as their own family.
Wang Xuan soon returned home, his home was in a dilapidated courtyard in the east of the village, pushed open the door, and shouted when he entered the courtyard door: "Mother, Xiao Huan, I'm back." β
"Well, wash up, we're going to eat right away. A kind response came from inside the room.
"Brother, wash your hands quickly, wash your hands and eat, and then you go to the school to learn calligraphy, and come back to teach me." A cute little girl about ten years old ran out and hugged Wang Xuan's arm and said.
"Okay, you have to be obedient at home, my brother will chop more firewood in the future, sell some money, and let you also go to the school to learn words." As he spoke, he gently pinched his sister's face, walked to the prepared basin, washed the dirt on his face and hands, and walked into the house with Wang Huan.
Although one in the house was dressed plainly, but could not hide her seductive delicate body, she turned her head, although her hair was a little gray, and her face had a lot of wrinkles, but it could be seen that she was definitely a big beauty when she was young, but over the years, she has been taking care of these two children and maintaining this family, fortunately, these two children are more sensible, but their growth is what she exchanged for her youth.
"Let's eat, look at these two sensible children," the mother also showed a rare smile. The meal was very simple, but the two children still ate it very deliciously, because the mother's cooking was very fragrant.
The family quickly finished eating, and with the help of the two children, they quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and then the mother said: "Xiaoxuan, you have to work hard when you go to the school, the opportunity to learn is not easy." I still have to hurry up and weave, Boss Wang is urging to ask for goods, Xiao Huan, you write well, and wait for your brother to come back in the evening to teach you. β
At this time, Wang Xuan took a bowl of medicine: "Mom, you pay more attention to your body, I will chop more firewood in the future, you don't have to work so hard, drink this medicine first, Doctor Sai said to drink it on time." β
"Okay, let it go, I'll drink it later, you can go to the academy quickly." β
"Then I'll go first, goodbye Mom. After speaking, Wang Xuan left the house and ran in the direction of the school, which is in the west of the village, which is a relatively large courtyard and a few rooms, which is much more magnificent than Wang Xuan's house. Wang Xuan went in and opened the door, but no one came at this time, he began to clean the yard, clean the classroom, and wipe every student's desk, especially the teacher's desk several times.
While working, while thinking about how to earn some money, on the one hand, so that my sister can also go to school, on the other hand, my mother after my father disappeared for no reason, every day with tears, although I carried myself and my sister, but I still know, these years my mother for herself and my sister, accumulated hard work, fortunately, Dr. Sai gave herbs, however, there are a few more expensive medicines, he lied to his mother that it is not expensive, but he has no money now, and he can't tell his mother that if his mother knows, he will definitely not drink these medicines.
At this time, a few students came in, three men and two women, much better dressed, and a boy greeted Wang Xuan and said, "Brother Xuan, I cleaned it so clean, thank you so much." One sentence brought Wang Xuan back to reality from his thinking.
Wang Xuan smiled and said, "It should beγγγγγγ β
"Yes, this kind of poor boy can enter our school, pay so much tuition, and do some work. We paid enough for the school and from time to time we funded the construction of the school. At this time, a boy dressed in gorgeous clothes, who came in with three or four children, interrupted Wang Xuan's words with an arrogant face.
Wang Xuan clenched his fists, but soon let go again, this boy is from a big family in this village, called Wang Gang, the family is very rich, and he has always looked down on Wang Xuan, Wang Xuan fought with him because of this at first, and then his mother repeatedly asked him to continue to study and read in the school, and told him to be patient. So he didn't say anything, just silently returned to his seat.
Today, Wang Xuan waited to go to Dr. Sai's house to see how to find a way. So now he still takes classes seriously, because he has to teach his sister to read when he goes back.
After class, everyone packed up their things and left, Wang Xuan stayed, packed up all his things, and then left the school, he didn't go home today, but went directly to Dr. Sai's medical hall.
The hospital seems to have a lot of people, because this village is not small, and there are thousands of villagers in the village. But there is only such a medical hall in the whole village, Dr. Sai's medical skills are excellent, and the price is relatively cheap, so the villagers are here.
Wang Xuan was at the end of the line, waiting for about a stick of incense, and finally it was his turn, Dr. Sai raised his head, glanced at it and said, "Let's come and get medicine for your mother again." The medicine is ready, you can go directly to the counter and ask Ah Hu to get it. β
"Doctor Sai, I'γγγγγγ I..... Wang Xuan was a little embarrassed to speak, because he had already owed the medical bills several times, and he said that he would give it together this time, but the money he earned from chopping wood was not enough at all, but fortunately, although Doctor Sai had a strange temper, he was still a good person.
"Say whatever you want, like a man. Dr. Sai said a little angrily.
"Doctor Sai, my moneyγγγγγγ I don't have enough money, I'm afraid I won't be able to give it to you this time, I won't go to the school tomorrow, find some work, earn money to give you medicine, don't you tell my mother it's okay?" Wang Xuan looked at Doctor Sai with a begging look.
"Nonsense, it's when you don't study, if your mother knows that you don't study, maybe my medicine won't save you, forget it, you can give it when you have money in the future, your father also helped me before." Doctor Sai said.
"However, when my mother found out that I didn't pay for your medicine, she would scold me to death. I'll try to figure it out again, and I'll make sure I get you the money together. β
"Alas, you kid is so stubborn, well, since you have to give money now, I have a way, don't you chop wood every morning? From tomorrow morning you help me collect medicine, I will provide you with the medicine your mother needs for free, and at the same time give you another tael of silver every month, what do you think?" said the doctor helplessly.
"Really, Dr. Sai, you are my great benefactor, and I thank you on behalf of my mother. I'll be sure to get enough herbs for you," he said, turning around and leaving.
"Do you know what herbs I need?" said Doctor Sai angrily.
Wang Xuan touched his head and shook his head awkwardly. Doctor Sai took out a book from the cabinet behind him and said, "Xiao Xuan, the school must continue to read, or you must not know my book." If you are interested in medicine, you can come to me to learn some medicine after attending school every day, and if you want to collect good medicinal materials, you must understand medicine. β
Wang Xuan took the book and said a little excitedly: "I will definitely come." Thank you, Dr. Sai. β
"Uh-huh, go quickly, go back and decoct medicine for your mother, you don't need to pick medicine these days, mainly read the book I gave you, know the herbs, and come to me after reading it." By the way, when you take the medicine, take a tael of silver by the way, and count it as for you this month. After speaking, Doctor Sai waved his hand and motioned for Wang Xuan to go.
Wang Xuan nodded and rushed to the house.
Seeing Wang Xuan's departure, Dr. Sai smiled and said to himself: "I'm also old, this kid is good." β
"Mother, I'm back," Wang Xuan said with a smile when he got home.
Wang Huan trotted all the way, ran over and grabbed Wang Xuan's arm and said, "Brother, why are you so happy? Did you learn a lot of words today? After eating for a while, my brother will teach me well?"
"Okay, I'll teach you after eating, but from tomorrow, you don't need me to teach, my brother will take you to the school. Wang Xuan said proudly.
"Really? But we don't have any money. Wang Huan looked at Wang Xuan with expectant eyes.
"What are you two little devils talking about, why are you so happy, come in, sit down and talk while eating, and let your mother listen to it, and be happy with you. "Mother's voice came from the house.
"Go in and talk while eating," Wang Xuan touched Wang Huan's head and said.
Entering the house, his mother had already prepared all the meals and ate them again, Wang Xuan told everything that happened today, especially Dr. Sai promised to pay for the medical expenses by collecting medicine, and gave one or two pieces of silver as compensation, and gave the silver to his mother as he spoke.
The mother was very happy at first, but then when she heard that her son was collecting medicine to pay for his own medical expenses, she was a little unhappy, saying that she would rather not take medicine than let the child suffer. In the end, when she heard that the child could learn medical skills by the way, and Wang Xuan said that Wang Huan could also go to school, her mother slowly compromised and agreed to Wang Xuan's decision.
Of course, the happiest thing is still Wang Huan, because she can also go to the school with her brother to learn to read and write.
After eating, Wang Xuan told Wang Huan about the words and articles he learned today, while his mother continued to weave.
It was late, Wang Huan slept, Wang Xuan also slept, and after a long time, his mother came over and covered the quilt that Wang Huan kicked open, and then went back to his room to sleep.
