At night, Zhang Tiezhu had a strange dream. He dreamed that Zhou Yuqin was sitting naked in a tank of water, soaking in it, and he was giving her a bath.
"This, how is this possible..."
Zhang Tiezhu shook his head vigorously, but he never woke up. The dream continued.
When he woke up in the morning, Zhang Tiezhu could still remember the scene in his dream very clearly, even the details.
Could it be because I told Liu Shitou about peeking into the bath, so I dreamed of such a strange dream at night? But that’s not right. If I wanted to dream, I should have dreamed of bathing my senior sister, or bathing Li Yunmei. How could I dream?
Arrived at Zhou Yuqin?
Zhang Tiezhu sat on the bed and slapped his face hard, but the dream was real.
Could it be?
Zhang Tiezhu suddenly thought of Zhou Yuqin's paralysis. Could this be the seal on the sole of his foot reminding him in a dream how to help Aunt Yuqin cure her illness?
Thinking of this, Zhang Tiezhu immediately closed his eyes and recalled the situation in the dream in detail.
"That's right, I'm treating Aunt Yuqin, not taking a bath..."
"The water in the vat is not water, but a hot potion. It is a potion made from blood-activating herbs..."
Thinking of this, Zhang Tiezhu jumped out of bed excitedly and landed firmly on the ground with a thud. Since there was an extra seal on the sole of his foot, his strength has become stronger day by day.
"Tie Zhu, what are you doing?" Lin Mei asked outside when she heard a voice. Lin Mei usually wouldn't just break into Zhang Tiezhu's room in the early morning, because Tiezhu always slept shirtless, even though the senior sister saw it.
At this time, he put on a coat, walked over, picked up a small stick, and wrote on the ground. According to the memory in the dream, he wrote down the herbs for promoting blood circulation.
After clearing his mind, Zhang Tiezhu ran out.
"Senior sister, I'll be back as soon as I go..." Tie Zhu said as he ran outside.
"Tie Zhu, it's time to have breakfast, eat before leaving..." Lin Mei shouted in the kitchen, the noodles had been fished out, but this guy ran away without eating.
"Oh, leave it alone, I'll eat it when I get back..."
Tie Zhu was impatient and didn't wait any longer. He hurried out of the hospital door and ran to Li Yunmei's house.
Li Yunmei has not gone out to sell tofu in the past few days. First, she is worried that the two homeless people will cause trouble for her again. The other is that the tofu burden has been lost and she must start making the tofu burden first.
Li Yunmei got up early today and went to the mountains to cut down two moso bamboo trees. She planned to weave a basket to make tofu. Now she doesn't even have subsistence allowances, so making tofu and selling it are her only way to make a living.
"Yunmei..." Zhang Tiezhu ran into the dilapidated yard of Li Yunmei's house in a hurry.
"What's wrong with Brother Tiezhu?" Li Yunmei stopped what she was doing and wiped the sweat from her face.
Today Yun Mei is making bamboo baskets, so she is wearing a pair of blue cloth trousers, blue and white cloth clothes, a floral cloth apron around her waist, and a floral cloth on her head. She looks like a typical
A pure girl from the mountains.
"Mei Yun, I've thought about how to treat your mother..."
"Really?"
Yun Mei put down the bamboo knife in excitement, pulled Zhang Tiezhu and walked towards the house. "Go and treat my mother quickly."
Li Yunmei felt that she didn't want to wait for a second. Her mother had been lying in bed for so many years, and it was so difficult for both mother and daughter.
"Don't worry, Sister Yun, let me tell you..."
Although excited, Tie Zhu still stopped because he didn't know how to speak because of treatment matters.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Yunmei looked at him puzzled.
"Mei Yun, I just dreamed about it in my dream. I don't know if it's right..."
"Dream about it?" Li Yunmei was immediately disappointed. She felt as if she had suddenly fallen from hot water into cold water, and she was chilled from head to toe.
"But, but I feel it is true..." Zhang Tiezhu said again, with confidence shining in his eyes.
Li Yunmei trusted Zhang Tiezhu very much. Ever since Brother Tiezhu saved her twice regardless of his own safety, Yunmei trusted him even more unconditionally.
"Then give it a try. There won't be any harm anyway, right?" Li Yunmei said.
"There is definitely no harm, I guarantee it..." Zhang Tiezhu patted his chest and assured that taking a bath with the boiled potion can activate blood circulation. Even if his own treatment is ineffective, it will definitely not be harmful.
"Then what are you waiting for? Just go in and give it a try..." Li Yunmei immediately wanted to drag Zhang Tiezhu in again.
"We need to go up the mountain to collect some herbs later. Let your mother soak in the water and I will treat her..."
"Then what are you waiting for? Go to the mountain to collect herbs immediately. I will go with you..."
Yun Mei was so impatient that she quickly ran into the house and carried a basket on her back, then came out with a small hoe, pulled the iron pillar and walked outside.
Tie Zhu wanted to say that he hadn't eaten yet, but seeing Li Yunmei's anxious look, he didn't have the nerve to say it anymore. He could only go to the mountain and think of a way, maybe he could get wild fruits to eat.
After walking out of Li Yunmei's house, Li Yunmei let go of Zhang Tiezhu's hand. She walked quickly in front of her with her head lowered. Zhang Tiezhu could only follow behind.
These people in the village like to gossip most. Although Tie Zhu is unmarried and Li Yunmei is also unmarried, the two of them can have a legitimate relationship, but if they are seen getting too close, there will definitely be talkative women.
Damn it, I guarantee that within half a day, everyone in the village will spread the rumor that Zhang Tiezhu has slept with Li Yunmei.
"Iron pillar..."
Sure enough, when passing near Zhang Tiezhu's house, Liu Shitou showed up again. I really suspected that this guy was hanging around here every day, just waiting for Zhang Tiezhu to show up.
"Shitou, if you want to go home to eat, you can go. I want to go to the mountains to collect medicine, so I won't accompany you..."
"Well, the village chief is done with the matter?" Liu Shitou clasped his hands and walked beside Tie Zhu and asked in a low voice.
"Then don't rush the matter, slowly look for opportunities, and first go collect medicine to treat Yun Mei's mother..."
"Oh, I'll go too, I'm more familiar with the mountains than you..." Liu Shitou immediately followed with a smile.
"Don't you go home to have breakfast? There are noodles..." Zhang Tiezhu looked at him and said. The bowl of noodles cooked by his senior sister Lin Mei was not in a hurry, so Liu Shitou went to eat it.
"Are there any noodles? Okay, I'll come as soon as I go."
Liu Shitou, a starving man, quickly turned around and disappeared.
Zhang Tiezhu shook his head helplessly and continued to follow Yun Mei towards the mountain.
When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, Liu Shitou was indeed back again. This guy ate really fast, and there was still soupy noodles hanging from the corners of his mouth.
"Brother, I'm here, so I'm not late..." Liu Shitou said jokingly.
"Let's go, let's go up the mountain together, don't be nagging..." Zhang Tiezhu sped up and soon caught up with Li Yunmei. When they reached the mountain, there were fewer people, and the two of them dared to walk close together.
"Brother Tiezhu, have you not eaten?" Yunmei asked with a slightly red face. In fact, she didn't eat either. Tiezhu was at their house just now, and Li Yunmei was too embarrassed to grab a handful of cold rice balls.
