Ah Ci poked Tian Ming, who was standing upright, with the tip of the windmill in his hand, and asked with a naive smile, "What are you doing lying on the ground?"
Tianming is still a kind-hearted child at heart. He has innate sympathy for a disabled boy like Aci. Although he is exhausted both physically and mentally, he still responds patiently, contrary to his own violent temper:
"I'm tired, let's lie down and take a rest."
At this time, Qianlong stretched out her hand and called Aci to come to her, "Brother Aci, don't stand on top of Tianming's head, come over here."
The naive little fat man obediently ran to Qianlong with his short and fat legs, and then kindly suggested to Tianming, "If you are tired, I will carry you back to the bed!"
Every time he is too tired to move, he goes to bed. This new guy looks similar to him when he is tired, so he should definitely sleep on the bed.
It’s not even night yet, where do you want to go to bed?
Besides, he was tired, not sleepy.
Tianming quickly waved his sore arm and declined, "No, no, I'll just lie here for a while. I have to get up and continue working later."
Although he is almost dead from exhaustion, Tianming is also very stubborn and has to fill up the water tank today!
Even if he is not satisfied with the filling, he must at least make enough for a bowl of rice.
It's almost half an hour before dinner time. It should be too late for him to catch his breath.
Chitaki said with some worry, "Tianming, why don't you give up fetching water and do some other work instead?"
When Tianming heard this, he immediately became excited and asked hurriedly, "Is there anything else we can do?"
He refused to admit defeat, he just didn’t want to go hungry, let alone because he didn’t do enough work - the former hurt his body, but the latter hurt his face.
But being stubborn doesn't mean that he really has to get stuck with fetching water. If there are other easier alternatives, he won't mind changing the working environment.
"Uh..." However, Chitaki was lost in thought at this time, his eyes rolled up, and after thinking about it for a moment, he replied awkwardly, "It seems to be gone."
"Firewood is enough. If you don't understand pharmacology, you won't be able to take care of the medicine field. There is no need to collect medicine today. If you want to cook..." Qiantaki glanced at Tianming, who was taller than him but limited, "I guess you can't do it either."
Too good."
"Then there's the need to take care of the patients, but now Uncle Gai is the only patient, so he doesn't need help from others yet."
"Except for carrying water..." After a lot of calculations, Qiantaki found that there seemed to be nothing suitable to change. He rolled his eyes and deliberately teased, "Can you grind noodles?"
"Pulling grinding!?" Tianmingren almost jumped up from the ground and exclaimed, "Qiantaki, is that a job that should be done with animals?"
"But there are no animals in the medical village!" Chitaki spread his hands and said with a smile, pretending to be helpless.
Tianming shook his head so fast that the soil on the land was rubbed up, "Forget it, I'll just carry water honestly."
"Hee hee!" Chitaki finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I'm just kidding you, the flour of Yi Zhuang is shipped directly from outside, you don't need to grind it yourself."
"Hey!" Tianming struggled to get up from the ground and said with a wry smile, "Don't play tricks on me now."
Tianming patted the dust on his clothes, relaxed his muscles and bones, and sighed, "I'd better continue carrying water."
Chitaki said at this time, "Don't worry, I have another way to help you."
"What can I do?" After what happened just now, Tianming became slightly resistant to the goddess's words and was no longer so excited. He asked slightly suspiciously.
Qiantaki jumped behind Aci's chubby body with her hands behind her back, then stretched out her hands to hug his arms, and said with a smile, "I'm just asking Brother Aci for help!"
"As long as you can persuade him to help you, the water-carrying matter can be solved easily."
"Ah!?" Tianming scratched his head with questions, "Isn't this bad..."
Not to mention that it is morally unjustifiable to use disabled people as able-bodied men. Just because this big brother looks so bloated, he doesn't seem like a master who can help!
If you haven’t finished carrying two buckets of water, it’s time to stop eating, right?
Qianlong put his hands behind his back again, walked out from behind Aci, and said with an indifferent expression, "I've told you the solution anyway. If you still don't have enough to eat at night, then don't blame me for not helping you!" "So, Tianming, you work hard, I'll leave first."
After saying that, Chitaki turned and left.
Because Aci was mentioned by Qianlong, he didn't follow them. He stood there fiddling with the windmill with one hand and scratching his head with the other, still showing a harmless smile and looking at the dawn stupidly.
Tianming looked at the silly little fat man, then at the bucket that he had thrown on the ground, and then felt his arms that were still as if they were filled with lead after a break, and decisively decided to believe in the goddess for once.
How could it be harmful if she looks so cute!
Chitaki will definitely not lie to me!
In fact, Qiantaki did point out a clear path for Tianming out of kindness.
For Aci, who is young but has a fighting prowess comparable to that of the world's top masters, carrying water is a physiological activity that is equivalent to no consumption.
If necessary, he can choose one that won't take a big breath all day long.
Of course, he is the one most likely to help Tianming in the medical village at this time.
The most important thing is that Ah Ci is mentally deficient and thinks like a child. As long as you find the right way, it is not difficult to persuade him.
Qianlong made this suggestion, on the one hand, to use Aci's power to help Tianming solve the food problem; on the other hand, he also wanted the energetic Tianming to play with Aci.
Chitaki knows this fat brother very well, who has always been by his side since he can remember.
He looks stupid, but his thinking is just like that of a child, not like a fool - his thinking is simple and direct, but not chaotic.
He always immerses himself in a person's world to entertain himself, but this is not what he wants.
He values family affection and longs for friendship, but... it is really difficult for him to find a real playmate, and after all, he and sister Ayan cannot fill the entirety of his life.
By chance, she met Tianming, who was lively, enthusiastic and kind-hearted.
Qianlong felt that for Brother Aci, Tianming...and maybe Shaoyu might be a suitable friend candidate.
………………
Beside the well, Tianming walked around Ah Ci and carefully examined him several times before finally making a judgment - it's still not suitable, forget it!
He decided to ignore Qiantaki's reminder and give up looking for help from this little fat man. He should just make his own choice!
But just when he was wandering around to pick up the bucket and fetch water, Aci took the initiative and asked, "My little sister said you need help, right?"
"Uh...it's okay!" Tianming hesitated again and then said, "Nothing's wrong. Brother Aci...you can go play now."
Although Ah Ci is obviously older than him, Tianming still calls him brother.
Because he doesn't like to call others big brother, unless it's someone like Xiao Ling who is obviously an order of magnitude more mature than him, but not to the uncle level.
