Pampered Consort of the Fragrant Orchard
Chapter 6
After hearing this, Du Xiuheng hesitated and said, "will this method be useful?"
"If it''s useful, just try it." Du Xiaoli took the hare and mushrooms into the house. After reconfirming that the hare''s legs were tied well and would not run away when she woke up, she went out and took Du Xiuheng down the mountain.
At this time, the sun has shifted to the west, and many people have begun to prepare to go home. People with hoes can be seen walking home on the country road from time to time.
"Oh, Xiuheng, why did you come down the mountain?" a fellow looked at them and asked, "girl Li, I heard you were ill. Are you well now?"
"Thank you, uncle Shi. I''m ready." Du Xiaoli recognized uncle Shi''s brother and replied with a sweet smile.
Like Uncle Shi, this second uncle Shi is in his thirties. He is honest and has the usual warm-hearted of crop men. Seeing that they went down the mountain so late, he stopped to greet them.
"Ha ha, this girl Li has been ill and has grown up a lot. She looks different from before!" Uncle Shi said with a laugh when he saw Du Xiaoli''s fluent answer.
"Hee hee, what was I like before?" Du Xiaoli tried to look like a child and asked with a smile.
"Li girl was not so bold before. She didn''t dare to talk when she saw us." second uncle Shi said, "by the way, what are you doing down the mountain now?"
Hearing uncle Shi''s words, Du Xiaoli''s face suddenly stepped down and said, "we want to go to the original house to get something. There''s nothing in the broken house on the mountain. My brother and I are freezing and starving. Whining..."
The house on the hillside is known by the whole village, and naturally there is nothing in it. Now, although the weather has turned hot, it is still cold at night, especially when it rains. Uncle Shi thought about two little dolls living in it. He couldn''t help feeling sorry for them and said, "what are you going to move? Uncle Shi, help you move up."
"Really? Thank you, uncle Shi!" Du Xiuheng said gratefully, "but we don''t know what aunt will let us take."
"Your uncle''s family has really gone too far this time. Don''t worry, I''ll help you." Uncle Shi patted himself on the chest.
"Thank you, uncle Shi!" Du Xiaoli rubbed his eyes and said.
"Thank you, thank you. Everyone is close to each other. Dog egg, go back and tell your mother I''ll go back later." Uncle Shi took the hoe on his shoulder to a little boy behind him.
"OK, Dad. I''ll go back and say to my mother, and then I''ll help too!" dog egg said and ran home quickly.
"Let''s go." Uncle Shi patted Du Xiaoli''s head.
On the way, I also met several villagers. Seeing Du Xiaoli''s brother and sister and Shi Er walking to Du Fu''s house, I followed up curiously. When I was approaching Niu Fu''s house, I saw a figure coming out of their yard and walking in their direction.
"Doctor Niu!" Du Xiuheng waved his arm and shouted when he saw the man coming up.
Doctor Niu is called Niujing. He is about fifty or sixty years old. He is tall and thin. He looks very kind because he doesn''t work in the field and his skin is white. It''s said that he used to live in a big city. We don''t know which city he was in. We only know it''s very big. He returned to his hometown only two years ago. Everyone thought he felt old and wanted to find a quiet place to provide for the aged.
"Doctor Niu, thank you for the medicine you gave your sister last time. This is the money I earned from selling firewood today and pay you back for the medicine last time." Du Xiuheng took out some copper plates, handed them to Niujing and said, "I''ll return the rest to you in two days."
Niujing waved his hand and said, "you can take these copper coins now? Take them back first and give them to me when you have money. I''m not in a hurry." then he looked at Du Xiaoli and said, "you look good. I think the disease is almost good. I''ll give you a pulse."
Du Xiaoli stretched out his right hand, Niu Jing held it for a while and said, "well, typhoid fever is almost over, but the nutrition of this small body can''t keep up with it. It''s a little malnourished! It needs to be replenished quickly."
"Thank you, doctor Niu!" Du Xiaoli took back her hand. She also knew that she was malnourished and planned to make up for it, not only her, but also her skinny brother like a monkey.
"Doctor Niu, are you just coming out of Du Fu''s house?" Shi Er asked.
"Yes, Cui accidentally fell down from the mountain yesterday. I can''t help but feel the pain today. Are you?" Niu Jing asked, looking at so many people.
"Well, Xiuheng and his brother and sister are going to move something from their former house to the house on the mountain. As you know, there is nothing in the house on the mountain. They have difficulty eating. I''ll see if I can help. They are so small that they can''t move those big things!" said Shi Er.
"In that case, I''ll stay and see what I can do." Niu Jing touched his beard and said.
"Let''s go."
When the party came to Du Fu''s house, Du Fu was applying medicine to Cui''s house. The screams of killing pigs came in bursts, and Du Xiaoli laughed in his heart.
"Dufu, Dufu, come out for a minute." Shi Er stood at the gate of the yard and shouted to the house. After a while, a man as round as Du Xiaotian came out and saw a group of people standing outside his yard. When he saw Du Xiaoli''s brother and sister, his face sank and asked, "what are you doing here?" seeing Du Fu''s fierce appearance, Du Xiaoli pretended to be afraid and hid behind Du Xiuheng, which made everyone feel that Du Fu was a little too much. A good little girl scared you like this! Du Fu was thinking about going in to give Cui''s medicine. Today, after listening to her howling all day, she was worried and upset. She shouted at Shi Er, "why did you call me out?" Du Xiuheng looked at Du Fu, took a deep breath and said, "uncle, we want to take something from our old house to the mountain." "Things? What things? You''ve taken the house to pay off the debt. Where else is there anything for you?" the flesh on Du Fu''s face shook with him. "Du Fu, that''s what you say, but you''re their uncle. They don''t want to go back and get something?" Shi Er looked at Du Fu discontentedly and said. "What do you mean nothing? That''s my stuff. Even if it''s my nephew, you can''t take it!" Dufu waved and said, "I''m going to go in and give medicine to my daughter-in-law. Don''t surround me if you have nothing else to do." after that, Dufu turned and walked in without even looking at the people. "Uncle, those things are clearly our stuff!" Du Xiaoli saw that Du Fu was leaving and said loudly, "when my father was alive, he also said that my uncle''s family was a good man. I didn''t expect my uncle to pit our family''s things in turn! Sobbing, Dad, will you feel dead when you see such a situation underground, sobbing..."
