Gu Chengyu read the medical book for a while, and then his consciousness came out of the space. He saw that Mr. Gu was already impatient with waiting and was sitting on the grass beside him.
"Friend, I don't know when you can come to me next time, please stay a little longer!" A woman's nostalgic voice sounded.
"No, I was able to sneak out while I was going to Xialing Village. I have to go back quickly now. Otherwise, it won't be so easy to come out next time." Then there was a squeaking sound.
"Can your mother-in-law still watch you all the time? Anyway, if you want to find me, just go to the grove and tie a blue cloth strip, or I will tie a red cloth strip. I will come to see you every day. And, you
Don’t forget what you promised me.”
Gu Chengyu touched his chin. It turned out that this was a fixed place for them to meet. There was even a code. It seemed that they couldn't be passers-by. They could only be people from the village. Since they were leaving, they would definitely be able to meet each other.
"I understand. I'm leaving. I'll come find you when I have time. The matter will definitely be settled in two days. Is it really convenient for you to come out? Don't let your Yang Laosan get caught."
"You don't have to worry about it, just take care of yourself. You go first, I'll leave later."
There were footsteps in the woods. The sound was heavy and powerful, and I thought it was that man. Soon, a man wearing dark green coarse cloth and short brown came out of the jungle. He first looked around, and Dad Gu quickly
He pulled Gu Chengyu and hid inside. Gu Chengyu saw the man's face through the gaps in the leaves. It turned out to be him?
Of course, Father Gu also knew this man and held Gu Chengyu's hand tightly.
Seeing that there was no one on the path, the man quickly ran towards the village.
About half a quarter of an hour later, the woman also came out. As Gu Chengyu expected, the woman was indeed her.
"Bah! It's just a silver-plated hairpin, why do you think it's a treasure?" The woman took the hairpin off her head, put it in her arms, straightened her clothes, licked her hair, and looked around.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he twisted his already not so slender waist and walked away.
Both Father Gu and Gu Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief and finally left. Father Gu exhaled, what's going on? Have they become sentries together?
"Dad, what were they doing just now? Why are we hiding?" Gu Chengyu looked at Dad Gu with a deliberately confused expression.
"Ah? This" Dad Gu scratched his head in embarrassment, not knowing how to explain it to a little kid.
Gu Chengyu looked at his father's embarrassment and snickered in his heart. "Dad, could it be that they went there to steal fish? Are there fish in that small pond?"
"Yes! Yes! They are just stealing fish. It's a pity that the fish pond has been abandoned for many years and is almost covered by grass. It used to be much bigger than this!" Dad Gu took a look and saw that the fish pond was not
Just go by this small forest? While pulling Gu Chengyu on the way, he was glad that his son didn't understand anything. If I had known, I wouldn't have taken this road today. I don't know where I took the wrong road.
No one was walking, and even the paths were covered with grass. What bad luck!
It took the two of them more than half an hour to arrive at Li Langzhong's house.
The courtyard of Langzhong Li's house is very large, with stone walls that are higher than other houses in the village. The courtyard gate is tall and strong, and it can be seen that it was made by a carpenter. This is not the case with the Gu family, who went to the mountains to cut wood themselves.
They casually nailed the wood together and used it as a courtyard door. It seems that Mr. Li's family is quite wealthy.
Father Gu stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door, "Who is it? Here you come." The woman who answered the door must be Yao, the wife of Mr. Li, as people in the village often say.
Mrs. Yao opened the courtyard door and saw a man about the same age as her husband and a young child standing outside. She looked at the child a few more times and couldn't help but admire in her heart. In this countryside, he is still the first.
This is the first time she has seen such a good-looking boy. Even the sons from wealthy families she has seen are not as good as this one. However, being too good-looking is not necessarily a good thing, let alone being born into a farmer's family.
.
"But are you looking for my master? He has just gone out to change the dressing for Gu Laosi of the Gu family. He will be back soon. What do you want? If you want to see a doctor, why don't you come back later? I'm afraid it will be inconvenient if the master is not at home.
."
Gu Chengyu has set his sights on Yao since she opened the door. Yao has always been a mysterious woman. Ever since Li Langzhong came to Shangling Village to settle down, Li Langzhong has always been in and out of the village, and Yao has never gone out to visit at all.
, if the villagers came to see Mr. Li, Mr. Yao would not come out to see the guests as long as Mr. Li was at home, and he didn’t know why he would answer the call and open the door today.
Gu Chengyu's eyes swept over Yao's body. She was a well-dressed woman, completely different from ordinary peasant women. She was wearing a ginger-yellow fine cotton jacket with a double-breasted skirt, revealing a section of the white stand-up collar of her middle coat.
, the cuffs and placket are also embroidered with simple textures, and the hem is embroidered with pink peonies, which looks elegant but not too complicated. Her hair is combed into an ordinary woman's bun, with only a
She has a silver hairpin. She has a fair complexion, slight fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but her eyes are bright and energetic. She is not very beautiful, but she has a very gentle temperament, which makes people look amiable. Gu Chengyu is a little surprised, although Li Langzhong has a few
Although she has the temperament of a scholar, the Yao in front of her does not look like a girl from an ordinary family, but rather like a wife from a wealthy family. Moreover, judging from her elegant speech, she must have read a book.
"Xiaobao, why don't you call someone? Call Aunt Li." Seeing that it was Mr. Li's wife who opened the door, Mr. Gu quickly asked Gu Chengyu to call someone.
"Hello, Aunt Li!" Gu Chengyu thought this woman was very amiable. Sure enough, people still need clothes, not gold! If his mother wears nice clothes, she must also be beautiful, but she is missing the one in front of her.
Just the charm of a woman!
"Hey! Be good!" Mrs. Yao touched Gu Chengyu's head gently with a smile in her eyes. Gu Chengyu was slightly embarrassed, why did she like to touch his head?
"Huh? It's Brother Gu! I was coming out of your house and you came to look for me. We missed it, but something happened?" It was also a coincidence that Dr. Li just came back from Gu's house after changing medicine. Gu Chengyu turned around and saw Mr. Li carrying a bag on his back.
The medicine box beckons this way.
"Brother Li, I really have something to talk to you about. We happened to go astray and missed it." Father Gu was also happy to see Mr. Li coming. He and a woman couldn't talk much, so naturally it was impossible to enter the house.
Wait, if you know how to take care of your family, there are too many people and you can’t get out the ginseng.
"But I want to ask about your fourth child? I saw that he is much better today. Fortunately, he doesn't have a fever. If he changes his medicine a few times, he can get up and walk."
"That's not the case. How can I question your medical skills? Do you think I have other matters to ask you about?" Dad Gu looked around. Since Dr. Li is here, it would be better to go inside and talk.
"Master, let them come in! I'll serve tea." When Yao saw that her master was back, she no longer avoided it.
"Hey! Look at me. Come in quickly. Brother Gu, please don't be offended. Please trouble the woman to serve tea."
Gu Chengyu and the others followed Li Langzhong into the courtyard. The Li family's courtyard was large, but there were not many houses. There were only two main rooms and one east and west wing. There were also many herbs drying in the yard, including cinnamon twigs, white peony root, etc.
Zhigancao, black aconite, ephedra, etc. These are commonly used medicines for wind and cold, and they must have been collected by Dr. Li in the mountains.
"Dad Gu, you don't know what you want to do with me?" Li Langzhong led Gu Cheng and them into the main room and sat down in order.
