Chapter 1030: Never Forget It in a Lifetime (Second Update)
He used pillows to cushion his lower back to make him more comfortable.
"Is this possible?" she asked.
"Hey, it's much better, I can see your face." He said.
Yang Ruoqing: "..."
He turned around and walked to the table and poured a bowl of tea.
Luo Fengtang followed her back with his eyes: "Qing'er, why did you take Uncle Yan to Li Zheng's house for so long?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "I talked to him for a while. Delayed.”
She took a sip of tea and tasted the temperature.
Then he turned around and came to the bedside, put the tea to his mouth: "You can take a few sips too."
"Yeah."
He took several sips obediently.
She put down the tea bowl and took out the brocade box from the bottom of her sleeve.
"Uncle Yan gave you something to replenish your health."
She said, and then opened the brocade box.
Luo Fengtang was obviously surprised when he saw the ginseng lying inside.
"This is... ginseng?" he asked.
Yang Ruoqing nodded.
“I heard that it has a lifespan of three hundred years. Look, it has grown into a human shape.”
“This kind of ginseng has a high medicinal effect, but it is a good thing.”
"Thousands of years old, I heard it can extend your life." She said.
"We can't accept such a valuable thing." Luo Fengtang said quickly.
Yang Ruoqing said: "That's what I said, but Uncle Yan can't go against his good intentions."
Luo Fengtang still looked uneasy.
Yang Ruoqing comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I will return this love in other ways when I have the opportunity next time."
"This wild ginseng is a good thing. It's priceless in our area. Keep it for yourself first!" she said.
Luo Fengtang nodded: "Qing'er, you can make the arrangements."
"Yes."
She covered the box again and tucked it into the bottom of her sleeve.
Luo Fengtang asked again: "Why is there a red thread tied to the ginseng?"
Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment and thought about it.
“I heard that every place has its own folk customs and specialties.”
“In the eyes of these ginseng pickers in the north, ginseng is the essence of the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth. The older it is, the more The more spiritual it is.”
“It is said that it will transform into a child and run away. If you tie the ginseng with a red thread, it will not be able to run away,” she said.
“Seriously?” He became interested.
His eyes were bright. This was the first time he heard such a thing. It was very novel.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Myths and legends, who knows whether they are serious or not."
Luo Fengtang said: "How about you loosen the red thread and see if it will run away?"
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "You idiot, do you believe all this?"
"Okay, I won't tell you anymore. You've been lying down for almost a day and you haven't eaten anything yet. I'll go get it for you. Get some food.”
...
Under Yang Ruoqing's careful care, Luo Fengtang was able to walk on the ground the next day.
Two days later, Luo Fengtang's wounds were almost healed.
As for the old lady in the side yard, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang went to Qingshui Town together and invited an old doctor in Yihe Chunli who was very experienced in treating asthma.
Feel Lao Ga Po’s pulse, consult her, and prescribe three courses of medicine.
Because the Chinese New Year was coming in a few days, Lao Suntou was worried about the trouble that Daga Gong and Lao Ga Po would have when they returned to the mountain.
Leave them here to celebrate the New Year together. In the first month of next year, we will go back to Sunjiagou to pay New Year greetings.
It happened to be the 26th, and the old Luo family came to Yang Huazhong's house to send New Year's gifts.
On the Sun family's side and Lao Yangtou's side of the old house, they all gathered together, and three big tables were set up in a lively manner.
After dinner, everyone had dispersed. Lao Yangtou, Lao Suntou, Lao Suntou's cousin, Blacksmith Luo, and Yang Huazhong were still smoking, drinking tea, and chatting in the main room.
Although Lao Ga Po is old and hard of hearing, she is still a child at heart and likes to be crowded and lively.
The old man sat aside to warm himself in a moon-shaped barrel, and Mrs. Sun sat aside to make amends.
Yang Ruoqing came to the backyard kitchen.
Mr. Sun and Mrs. Sun are clearing away the dishes.
"Mom, let me help you." Yang Ruoqing said, then rolled up her sleeves.
Sun pushed her out: "As long as your aunt and I are together, you can go back to the house and go to bed."
"It's still early, I can't sleep."< br>
"Then go to the front hall and listen to your grandfather and the others talk."
"That's it, hardworking mother and aunt!"
"Hey, this girl is always polite wherever she goes!"
Yang Ruoqing returned to the main room in the front yard and happened to catch up with Lao Suntou and the others talking about the past ten miles and eight villages.
Luo Fengtang stood aside and refilled their tea.
Seeing her coming over, he smiled at her.
He came to her side with a bowl of hot tea, "Take it to cover your hands."
he whispered.
She smiled at him, and the two of them sat down on a high stool.
On such a winter night in the twelfth lunar month, I listen to the elders telling stories from a long time ago...
Among the topics of winter night chat among villagers, the most talked about topic is nothing more than Stories with a mythical flavor.
Ghosts, strange things, mountain elves and so on.
They are kind and simple, but ignorant and backward. They all believe in the reincarnation of cause and effect.
The topic, I don’t know when, came to having children.
Lao Ga Po listened carefully. When she couldn't hear, she asked Mrs. Sun to tell her.
Here, Yang Ruoqing saw the old lady's reaction in her eyes and couldn't help but laugh.
She gently touched Luo Fengtang's arm beside her: "Old man, old man, look at my old lady, she is really like a child."
Luo Fengtang also curled his lips slightly.
At this time, the old lady sitting in the warm bucket over there said loudly: "I heard what you said about this night, there are many strange things, old lady, let me tell you one."
She is the oldest and most senior person in this room.
When she opened her mouth, everyone fell silent.
Old Yangtou even smiled and said to the old lady: "Auntie, I heard that you were the most famous midwife in the villages ten miles away. You must have a lot of knowledge. Tell us about it. ”
The old lady smiled with her toothless mouth.
"I won't talk about what I heard about the gods and ghosts. Everyone heard it from other places. I have never seen it in person, so I can't count it."
She waved her hand and said .
“Let me tell you something today. It happened to me when I was delivering babies to a family when I was young.”
“I have been delivering babies for most of my life. I don’t remember anything else, but that one thing, I will never forget it for the rest of my life!” she said.
Everyone was interested, but they all stayed silent and listened to what the old lady said.
“My midwifery skills were passed down to me by my mother.”
“I remember that time, I was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and I didn’t have any children of my own. Have a baby!”
“One winter, the door was closed due to heavy snow. I was taken to a mountain temple to deliver a baby to a woman.”
“Auntie, isn’t this right? Isn’t it always at home when it’s cold? On the bed? Why did you give birth in the mountain temple?”
Lao Yangtou couldn't help but interrupt Lao Ga Po's words.
Lao Gapo said: "I remember correctly, it is the Mountain Temple."
"When I arrived, there were only three people there."
"A man , tall and good-looking. "
"There is a woman standing next to him. Judging from the clothes of the couple, they look like they are from a wealthy family. "
