Xiaojiacun is actually quite big. It is a valley, surrounded by mountains, and is located outside Shennongjia. It is such an isolated village.
If they were not the original villagers of this village, basically no one would come here.
Xiao Chen took the three girls to the primary school in the village. Xiaojia Village had its own primary school before, but Xiao Chen had never been to school. All the villagers' children in the village were studying there.
Later, no teachers were willing to work here anymore, so those children could only stay in the small town's primary school to study. Now when Xiao Chen and the three girls came to visit, they found that the primary school was completely abandoned.
There are weeds as tall as a man's head growing everywhere inside.
If in another year or two, you may see the remaining bricks and tiles of these walls outside.
It can be seen that this elementary school, which is not very big, is now completely abandoned.
Mo Xiaowan has been studying in an aristocratic school in Binhai City since she was a child. She has never seen a classroom like this.
"Xiao Chen, have you studied here?" Mo Xiaowan asked.
"No."
Xiao Chen was taught by his master and his wife.
Like Sang and Yao, they actually didn't learn much, but they still understood the basic writing.
There are a lot of weeds here now, which may have attracted rats and snakes.
Xiao Chen didn't go in again.
When I went outside, I saw patches of vegetable gardens, which are basically abandoned now.
Xiao Chen felt a little pity.
However, it is really not suitable for ordinary people to live in this kind of place for a long time.
"Xiao Chen, I want to catch fish."
Sang said.
She remembered that she caught a lot of fish here last time.
Xiao Chen knew that before leaving Xiaojiacun and going to Binhai City, he really had to catch some fish for his master, his wife, and the two old people who stayed behind.
In addition, you can also take some with you to Binhai City.
Xiao Chen and the three girls returned to the master's house and got a fish cage made of bamboo.
When we came to the river, there was a river on one side and a hot spring on the other side.
At first, Yao was curious about where the hot springs at Master Xiao Chen's and Mrs. Xiao Chen's place came from. Now that she looked at this place, she guessed it was here.
"The hot spring water here is very hot, reaching 100 degrees Celsius, so it can only be introduced to every household."
However, except for Xiao Chen’s master and his wife’s house, all other families are basically abandoned now.
Xiao Chen
Take off your clothes.
Because it is not around the Spring Festival and it is not cold, Yao and Sang have to take off their clothes and go to the river to catch fish.
And Mo Xiaowan was watching from the shore.
Xiao Chen took the two girls to the river.
No one has caught fish in the river for such a long time. I don’t know how many have been reproduced. Basically, they are all river fish larger than a palm. These river fish have a lot of meat, although there are also a lot of fish bones. However, when I brought them to Binhai City,
The young ladies all think the fish here is more delicious than those in the cities.
"Xiao Chen, I caught one." Yao quickly caught a fish and threw it on the shore.
With the help of the two women, it didn't take long for Xiao Chen and the two women to catch dozens of river fish. The fish cages couldn't fit in, so they had to string branches together in a row and take them back.
It was almost lunch time, and Xiao Chen and the three girls returned to the master and his wife.
The two women went to take a bath, changed into a set of clothes, and then helped kill fish with their mistress.
Xiao Chen took a dozen fish and gave them to the two old men.
These fish can be dried or eaten now.
However, the two old men could not eat much.
When they saw Xiao Chen bringing fish over, they knew that Xiao Chen must have gone to catch fish.
"Little miracle doctor, can you help me with something?" an old man asked.
"What's wrong?"
"There is a snake under my bed, and we two old people are scared."
In a place with so few people, it is normal for these venomous snakes to enter the house.
Xiao Chen followed and took a look. Soon, he saw the skin of a large snake shed here, and there were more than one. In this case, it is conceivable that there are really many venomous snakes here.
If it were in the past, when there were many people here, there might not have been any venomous snakes coming in where these five-guarantee households lived.
However, there are only two old people left here, surrounded by weeds, and it is really normal for those poisonous snakes to enter the house.
"Old man, do you really not plan to live in the new village?"
"Little miracle doctor, we really don't want to go."
The two of them didn't want to go.
"Old man, let me help you drive away these poisonous snakes."
It's really easy to chase away these venomous snakes.
One is to set fire to the white smoke, which these poisonous snakes are most afraid of.
When Xiao Chen set fire to the holes to burn smoke, not long after, a cobra with thick arms crawled out.
Come on, if Noila Mo sees it, I'm afraid she will be really scared.
The cobra was still feeling dizzy, so Xiao Chen took a stick and threw the cobra into the woods outside.
Some other snakes were slowly taken away by him under the smoke.
If this doesn't work, these snakes, insects and ants will still come back after a while.
After Xiao Chen cut down all the trees and weeds around him, he then took out the talisman paper, mainly to drive away these snakes and insects, so that these things would not dare to come near this place again for a long time.
"Little miracle doctor, thank you so much."
"It's okay. If you have any questions, just go to my master. My master is much better than me."
After Xiao Chen finished doing this, it was past lunch time.
When she came back now, Noila Mo asked: "Why did it take so long?"
"Where those two old people live, there are many venomous snakes entering the house. I was there just now to help them get rid of them."
Venomous snakes entering the house?
Sang and Yao are not afraid because they have seen a lot of them, especially in the Miao villages in Miao territory.
However, Mo Xiaowan was really scared.
With so many of these things, can we still live here?
"I have helped them get rid of them just now. Those things like snakes and insects don't dare to come near again."
Now Mo Xiaowan's three daughters and the master's wife have killed the fish and dried them directly outside. The weather in this summer is very easy, and the fish will soon become dried fish.
Master Xiao Chen and his wife lived a very ordinary rural life, not even comparable to those of ordinary villagers. Except for meal time, they usually spent time here studying their own things.
Whether Xiao Chen's master or mistress, they are basically like this.
Now after lunch, after Noila Mo and the two girls went to rest, Xiao Chen and his master were drinking tea and playing chess outside.
In the quiet Xiaojia Village, at this time, apart from the sound of these two people playing chess, there was also the smoke coming from the two remaining elderly people in the distance...
I stayed in Xiaojiacun for four days.
On the fifth day, Xiao Chen knew that these three women were going back to Binhai City.
Of course, Xiao Chen grew up in Xiaojiacun, so it would be okay for him to stay here for a long time.
These days, Xiao Chen took these three women to collect herbs and wild fruits in Xiaojia Village and even in the surrounding mountains.
