Xu Dalang and Wen Qing were both inside, and Kingfisher's father and mother were thanking them excitedly.
The old doctor who was brought here checked Chen Shou's pulse, waved his hand with a smile, and left.
Sister Kingfisher sent the man out and gave the doctor a pound of grain.
The old doctor was not polite, accepted it, and warned: "I'm fine, I'm just weak from being hungry for a long time, and I need to take a lot of supplements."
"Thank you, doctor." Sister Kingfisher sent the doctor away with a smile. She looked back at the old hen in the chicken coop and couldn't laugh anymore.
However, for the sake of my father's health, I still caught the old hen and killed it.
Seeing that they couldn't get any useful information, the villagers dispersed.
There is still work to be done in the fields, and no one has the spare time to stay at other people's houses and join in the fun.
Not long after, Xu Yue and Xu Dalang, brother and sister, were the only two outsiders left in the yard.
Kingfisher took Xu Yue and introduced to her father: "This is Sister Xu. Dad, Sister Xu has been very kind to me. Thanks to them helping my mother in the fields these days, otherwise our land would have been planted late."
Already."
Kingfisher gave a very measured introduction and did not mention Xu Yue or Xu Jiajun's identity at all.
"Thank you, girl..."
Chen Shou pushed himself up from the kang and sat up. The light in the room was dim. He struggled to open his eyes and saw clearly what Sister Xu looked like in his daughter's mouth.
When he saw that familiar face, Kingfisher's father took a breath. Although he tried his best to hide it, the surprise that flashed through his sunken eyes still could not escape the eyes of the Xu Yue brothers and sisters.
The two of them looked at each other with normal expressions, pretending they didn't notice anything.
Xu Yue handed the small bag of sugar in her hand to Kingfisher Girl, "Aunt, take this sugar and make some sugar water for uncle to drink so that he can replenish his health."
"White, white sugar?" The kingfisher girl's heart trembled, and she opened the palm-sized paper bag in her hand. Frosting as white as snow appeared in front of her eyes. Her heart tightened suddenly. She hurriedly wrapped the paper bag and gave the sugar to
Xu Yue pushed back.
"This is too expensive. How can I be embarrassed? You saved the child's father. How can I be embarrassed to ask for such an expensive thing again? Miss Xu, please take it back!"
Kingfisher Girl really didn't dare to ask for it. It was the first time in her life that she had seen such white and fine sugar. Thinking about it, she knew how precious it was.
"You are good people. My Kingfisher clings to you every day and causes you trouble. My Daya killed the chicken. If you don't mind it, Miss Xu, please stay and have a bowl of chicken soup." Kingfisher Girl sincerely invited.
Chen Shou on the kang stared at Bai Tang who was pushed back, and his breathing became heavier.
Hearing his wife's invitation, he also said: "Yes, let's stay and have a bowl of soup. Thank you very much for today. My family is poor and we don't have much good things. Please don't dislike it, my two benefactors."
Xu Yue shook her head and handed the paper bag to Kingfisher, who was watching in a daze. "We still have something to do, let's go first."
After that, he turned around and left without giving the couple a chance to stay.
Before leaving the house, Xu Dalang suddenly turned around and glanced at Chen Shou. His cold eyes made the man shiver with coldness, and he lowered his head with a guilty conscience, as if he hadn't seen anything.
Kingfisher didn't notice her father's strange reaction. She took the sugar and curled her mouth. She will do good things for Xu Jiajun in the future and repay Sister Xu!
"Mom, I made sugar water for dad. With such good sugar water, dad will definitely recover quickly." Kingfisher reported to his mother with a smile, and then went to the kitchen holding the paper bag like a treasure.
My sister and brother were both in the kitchen and had long heard the noise in the main room. When I saw Kingfisher bringing the paper bag over, he urged her to open the paper bag and let myself see what the white sugar that Mr. Lei’s family was reluctant to eat was.
Look.
Kingfisher waved his hand to signal his sister and brother to stop crowding, put the paper bag on the stove, and then carefully opened the paper bag.
Fine icing sugar as white as snow appeared in front of the three sisters, and the air was filled with a sweet smell, making the three sisters swallow their saliva.
Seeing the greediness of his sister and brother, Kingfisher hurriedly picked up the paper bag and said, "Sister Xu gave this to my father. Let him drink it first. When he is ready, if there is anything left, we will cook it."
Let’s have some sugar water with my mother-in-law, okay?”
The older sister and brother touched their sister's head, suppressed the saliva in their mouths, and stopped looking at the tempting candy wrapper.
...
It was getting late, and it was getting dark quickly on a cloudy day. As soon as the lights were lit in the tent, it became completely dark.
In the hazy night, an ox cart appeared at the entrance of the village. Carefully not making any noise, the cart drove toward the official road.
The wheel accidentally hit a stone and made a slight movement. The rickety and thin figure in the car was startled.
He panicked and looked toward the tent by the river outside the village. He saw that the lights there were still the same as before, and the tent reflected the shadows of people gathering together to have dinner.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief, took out the sugar water from the bamboo tube at his waist, took a sip, raised his whip, slapped the cow on the buttocks, and drove furtively toward the road.
It was dark and moonless, and only the shadowy shadows of trees could be seen on the road ahead, making it impossible to see the road.
However, this person seemed to be very familiar with this road. Even when the ox cart was running, he almost didn't go the wrong way.
After walking for two-quarters of an hour, the ox cart finally arrived at the junction of the small road and the main road.
The driver couldn't help but show a greedy smile, and drove the ox cart, preparing to walk on the main road to the county seat and get the huge bounty.
For the first time in his life, a man felt that money could come so easily.
Victory is just ahead. The restless man has a smile on his face, and his mind is filled with the fantasy that he and his family will move to the city tomorrow, wear gold and silver, live a good life like a master, and no longer have to be bullied.
Go to the mines and endure hardships.
However, when he picked up the bamboo tube at his waist and took a sip of the sweet sugar water without a trace of bitterness or a grain of sand, the greed in the man's eyes was mostly gone, and he became a little more guilty and guilty.
Suddenly, the tall young man's cold eyes looking back at him before he went out in the afternoon appeared before his eyes.
The man shuddered and shook his head, trying to shake off the illusion.
But unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes again, those cold eyes did not disappear, but got closer to him!
"Ho!"
The man was so frightened that he took in a breath of cold air. He reacted instantly and hurriedly pulled the reins. Feeling guilty and guilty, he rushed towards the mountain forest in a panic.
"Want to run?" Xu Dalang walked out of the darkness, his eyes flashed red, and his terrifying spiritual power poured out, instantly covering the bullock cart.
Only the old cow screamed in pain was heard, and it was shaking violently as if being restrained by a pair of invisible hands.
Chen Shou, who was in the car, was thrown away and fell to the ground screaming.
The torch was lit, and the tall figure of the woman appeared in front of him. Chen Shou raised his head in horror, and saw a pair of cold eyes flashing with fire.
"If Kingfisher knew she had a father like you, she would be extremely sad." Xu Yue sighed softly.
Her tone sounded gentle, but she stepped hard on the man's thin back!
