Chapter 32

After Zu Xin finished drinking the water, he saw some gray wheat buns on the stove in the kitchen ahead. He wanted to get one to eat hot, but he was bored after thinking about it. Bao, he just doesn't like anything at the moment.So, thinking about it, he simply boiled the water directly, and lay down on the bed thinking of simply washing.

After boiling the water, he poured part of the water into a round wooden barrel with a handle, and carried it with difficulty to the room where he and Fan Yu lived, and then poured the water into their room for use. In the barrel of the bath.Then I mixed some cold water into it, and then went to the front to get the rest of the hot water.

After mixing the water, he simply washed his body, changed into clean underwear after washing, and then lay down on the inner side of the bed angrily.He just wrapped himself in his own thin quilt, and after tossing and turning for a while, he turned sideways, stretched his right foot out of his own quilt, and folded Fan Yu's bed well. The quilt was violently kicked to the outside of the bed, until the whole piece was twisted together, and it was close to the edge of the bed, leaving a large distance between him and his own quilt. His feet were retracted into the quilt, and he lay on his side, ready to fall asleep early in this way, so as not to face the person when the person came back.

Fan Yu was planning to go out of the city and go back to his home on the mountain after dinner at the house, but it was reported that there might be something wrong with the grinding mill in the newly rented house, and he was asked to have a look.He went to check for a while, and finally found that the position of the notch might have been moved by someone in the process of pushing it, and it was not locked properly, so he spent some time in the house and worked together with others to adjust the notch. mouth.

After that, he came out of the city.The mother-in-law was going to stay in the house. She usually stays in the house until around [-] o'clock before leaving the house. But today, something like this happened. She was afraid that Fan Yu might not be able to handle it well with Zu Xin when she went back. If there is any situation in between, then if she goes back with her, if there is any situation at that time, she can stand up temporarily to mediate.

After the two of them returned to their home on the mountain, the mother-in-law just went back to her bedroom in the front house, but she didn't go to Fan Yu's room to persuade them at first, she still hoped that their own affairs could be resolved by themselves.

As soon as Fan Yu returned to his room, he saw that Zu Xin was already lying down, so he lit a thin candle on another table next to the bed, and the residual lamp was like a bean, flickering uneasily. It made him feel a little unreasonable "fear" in his heart. He didn't seem to have encountered such a thing before, and he never thought that this matter would be brought to this stage by himself.If it's really out of control, I don't know what to do.When he thought about it, if he couldn't handle it, he would have to face Zu Xin's cold face covered with frost every day in the infinitely long years in the future. When he thought about it, he felt that he couldn't bear that kind of life. .

Because of this, he felt that he had to blame Xia Houyi for everything he said, what kind of shabby trick he was talking about, it was useless at all, it was in vain that he practiced it with enthusiasm this afternoon.

Annoyed by the glimmer of light, he simply turned around and went to the kitchen to get a thick candle, and connected the fire from the thin candle, instead of using the candle holder, he just melted the wax and dripped it on the table. , put the candle in place, and added a gauze cover to it.Then, I blew out the thin one with a soft "poof".At this time, he glanced at Zu Xin, and saw that he was still lying on his side facing inward, and he was still motionless.

Fan Yu thought that he shouldn't really fall asleep right now, so he approached their bed. He noticed early in the morning that his quilt was kicked far away by the person lying on the bed. It was as if he was hanging on the edge of the bed, which shows how angry this person was when he kicked.

Fan Yu was also a little helpless. He first refolded his thin quilt, then sat sideways on the bed, and hooked his head to the side where Zu Xin's face was facing, to see if he was asleep or not. of.

Zu Xin didn't expect that this person came back to change candles and what to do, but now he stretched his head over.She really didn't wink, could it be that she didn't see that she was annoying him?He was staring at the wall with his eyes open, and he was listening to what this man was doing in the room, but he turned his head away, and he lost his guard for a moment, his eyes wide open. His appearance was caught, and because of his subconscious reaction, he suddenly closed his eyes tightly when he hooked his head, so that he could pretend to be asleep.Unexpectedly, this subconscious little action of closing eyes was also caught.

He had no choice but to open his eyes again, and asked, "What are you looking at!" Fan Yu said, "I just want to see if you're asleep, and I don't know how angry you are." People like Fan Yu can only say a few honest words at this kind of time - words that have no effect at all, no more than those who can talk, who coax people into one set after another. A sentence can make a righteous person laugh.But he can't, he can only speak a few truthful words, which sound innocuous. If he was angry at first, then the man was still angry after hearing these words.

Zu Xin gouged him hard, because the eyeballs were too hard, so that when viewed from a certain angle, the whites in his eyes were not as much as that of their Xiaozheng's.Fan Yu was gouged out, but he was not angry, and was about to say something serious to apologize, but at this moment, Zu Xin suddenly said "Ouch", covered his stomach with one hand, and froze there with a pale face.

Then, he couldn't even ouch, but his knees were curled up towards his stomach, and his whole body was breaking out in cold sweat.Fan Yu hurriedly asked, "Hey, what's wrong with you?" Zu Xin frowned, and replied with a rather painful expression, "I must have ruined my stomach from drinking raw water." Fan Yu didn't need to ask what kind of raw water it was It's raw water that hasn't been filtered. They're all used to drinking good water now, and if they suddenly drink the water that was bad before, they will definitely have a stomachache.

Fan Yu just said: "Be patient for a while." After that, he went to the front and pushed the earliest small cart of his family to the house behind him, then led the horse out, and put the cart on the saddle. When a donkey pulls a cart, it is always bumpier than a horse-drawn cart, so it is necessary to let his white horse pull the cart.

He went into the house and carried Zu Xin out. The cart is now used as a tool for mother-in-law and Zu Xin to go back and forth between the house on the mountain and the house in the city below. Carrying the soaked triangle wheat paste down the mountain, after returning home every day, there will always be some bamboo baskets and other things left in the cart, but Fan Yu pushed this cart to them before. Before the door of the back room, the things on it had been emptied.

At this moment, only Zu Xin was sitting inside with arched shoulders and legs curled up. Fan Yu also took a washed and put away winter coat from the cabinet to cover him.Then he locked the door at the back, and her mother-in-law came out, and asked what was going on at first glance, Fan Yu said that Zu Xin had a bad stomach from drinking water, and said that it was important to take him down the mountain to the city for medical treatment first. .Then he bid farewell to her mother-in-law in a hurry, and led the horse down the mountain.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and it was very cloudy at night, with few stars in the sky, only a few points of light, and even the moon didn't know where it went.Fan Yu knew where the nearest medical hut was to them in the city. He had been running on the streets all day, so he was already very familiar with the Yumai City.

Naturally, the streets at this time are no more lively than during the daytime, especially in the north and east of the city, which are very deserted at this point, unlike the south of the city, where the streets may still be quite noisy, or the west of the city as well. The ones that are more lively, although not as noisy as the most prosperous areas in the south of the city, still have a suppressed buzzing sound, and it will never be as quiet as this corner of the city.

Fan Yu led the horse and turned from Daqi Street into an alley. There was a medical hut in this alley.He took a closer look, and of course he knew that the medical hut had already been closed at this time, and even the door was installed. He could only see a piece of paper that was routinely pasted in the medical hut on the board next to the door. : In case of emergency, please walk around to the back door of the medical hall and knock on the door.

A lantern hangs under the eaves above the piece of paper, illuminating the words on the piece of paper all night long. Those who do not allow night clinics or emergency clinics will not post that piece of paper.Fan Yu came closer to have a look because he used to come here in the daytime, and he didn't know if this house provided medical treatment at night. Seeing this piece of paper on the door panel, he felt relieved, and hurriedly pulled him away. He rode his horse around to the back door of the hospital.

He knocked on the door several times, until there was a dull "bang bang" sound at the back door, but he didn't dare to knock any louder, for fear that people would say he was rude.

Not long after, a female voice came to answer the door and said, "Here we come!" Then, the woman in the backyard opened the door.When Fan Yu first saw this woman, he thought she was very familiar. He took a few glances through the night and recognized her as the younger sister of the tofu warrior at the tofu stall next to him when he was setting up stalls on the street. He had never told her about it before. No matter what, I didn't expect her to appear in this medical hut, and I was still thinking that she might be married to a doctor in this medical hut.

I only heard the woman call out to the house: "Second brother comes out to help, the patient can't walk by himself." At this time, the strong tofu man also came out.Because Zu Xin was enduring pain and urgently needed medical treatment, Fan Yu didn't ask why this tofu warrior was here.But the tofu warrior explained briefly first, and said, "Ah, why is it you? The doctor in this clinic is my elder brother." While briefly talking about such a relationship, he put Zu Xin on his back, go to the house.

It turned out that the father of this tofu warrior was a medical practitioner, while the mother's family was originally a tofu maker. Later, the family gave birth to four children. Fortunately, there were many boys and girls, and there was only one child.The eldest in the family practiced medicine with his father, and the second tofu warrior, along with his third younger sister, inherited their mother's craftsmanship and started making tofu.And the youngest child is already twelve this year. Their family helped the child redeem the deed from the government office before, and let him stay at home and follow his elder brother to help out in the medical hut.

The tofu warriors had no time to explain these things to Fan Yu right now, because they really needed to heal people right now, so Fan Yu didn't know about the situation in his family.Fan Yu just followed Tofu Warrior into the house, and Tofu Warrior's brother and sister-in-law all came out. His brother helped Zu Xin see a doctor and said that it was nothing serious, just gastrointestinal disorders and gastric fluid retrograde.He only prepared two decoctions to be taken tomorrow for consolidation, and now he has prepared a decoction that is easy to cook and told his wife to fry it now.

Not long after, the decoction was fried and brought out for Zu Xin to take. His belly seemed to heal immediately, and he felt relieved.

Fan Yu paid the consultation fee, took the two medicines, bid farewell to the crowd, and led the horse back home.Zu Xin did not speak along the way, nor did he speak.He thinks that Zu Xin is weak now, has no strength, and can't talk, but Zu Xin is actually thinking that he really can't be as angry as him for so long before.It seems that whenever people experience physical suffering, they will look back and think that any loyalty, appearance, thought, and things that have nothing to do with the body are unimportant things-all are "things outside the body".That’s right, it seems that only the physical suffering is the real and real suffering, while most of the spiritual things are illusory. When you have to think about those things and toss about them, it may be mostly because of that person. I have never worked hard in my body or life, I am in a hurry, and I have nothing to do when I am full, so I have to find some mental "torture" to suffer.Too busy looking for guilt.

This time, Zu Xin experienced a complete pain. He has never felt such pain before, and it also made him feel some real pain, which is different from the "pain" between him and Fan Yu who couldn't get over his loyalty and face. In comparison, those things seemed so empty and insignificant, and now he just felt that being unable to let go of those things might be because he was in a hurry and was not happy.

The two of them returned home, and the mother-in-law also waited until this time, it was half past nine o'clock, saw them coming back, and asked if there was anything wrong, Fan Yu said that he was cured, it was fine, and he asked Zu Xin to pay more attention to recuperating tomorrow Rest, and if you drink the two medicines you brought back, you should be completely fine.

The mother-in-law said: "That's good, that's good." After that, she turned off the lights, locked the door, and went to sleep.And Fan Yu put Zu Xin on his back on the bed, then pushed the cart to the front kitchen, locked the door, settled his family horse in the back kitchen, and went back to the room.

He lay down on the bed, not wanting to move.After thinking about it, I got up and went to the kitchen to boil hot water and prepare to wash my body briefly.Because Zu Xin would never let him go to bed if he didn't take a bath, sometimes he was so tired that he wanted to take a nap first, and then take a bath the next morning, but it still didn't work.In that case, Zu Xin would go to boil the water and mix it for him, and he would go to the bathtub to soak for a while like a walking dead, then take out the bucket to dry like a walking dead, and then put it on the bed One pour.

He went to boil the water, but it didn't even boil, it was just at the hot temperature, and it saved the trouble of adding water.Then he found an open space on the outer wall of the kitchen, scooped up the water with a ladle in the shadow of the dark wall, and poured it on his body.This open space is on the inside, not facing the side of Banqiao. If you look behind his house here, you can still see the vegetable field planted by my mother-in-law.He was also thinking about whether to build a shed between the vegetable field and the house where he lived to grow ginger.

After a brief wash, he wiped himself dry, put on dirty clothes, put the barrel back in the kitchen, locked the door, and went back to his room, then changed into clean clothes.

After he lay on the bed, after a while, Zu Xin offered to talk to him.The two of them chatted for a while before going to bed.Fan Yu thought that maybe Xu Zuxin was not so angry anymore, and asked him if he would like to have a hot wheat bun to eat, but he said no, and he was a little sleepy.

According to this, according to the method Xia Houyi taught him, it was indeed effective immediately, and it only took one afternoon to "cure" the unhappiness between Zu Xin and him.

But Fan Yu didn't know why, he just had a faint feeling that something was wrong, and he had a vague feeling in his heart that he was getting better with Zu Xin now, and it wasn't because Xia Houyi taught him a good method, it was just that he hit the right one this time.
