Chapter 255 Medicine Shop Enters Autumn
The young couple walked to their home in the village while talking.
In recent days, Wang Cunye and his wife moved here with Wang Zhenzhen. The pigeons do not have to worry about feeding, and the young white cow is led out by the two elders, and then led back at night.
So the two of them don't come back very often, and now they just go home to have a look.
But what I didn’t expect was that their conversation just now was listened to.
Most of the villagers are now on the dam outside the village. There are no people in the village, and the two of them did not pay attention to controlling their voices.
However, when this person heard their words, his reaction was strange.
This is a very thin man, with a slightly purple face and a slightly sick look. He is holding a red cloth. It seems that he is also going to the dam to worship the "Prince Turtle".
But at this time, Chen Ling and Wang Susu suddenly stopped after they walked over. They frowned and thought carefully, then turned around and walked back in a hurry.
Chen Ling and Chen Ling naturally didn't notice this strange man. When they got home, they just hugged their son and circled around the flowers, plants and grape trellis in the yard.
"Next year when Ruirui is older and can run in the fields, I will open a medicine shop in the village..."
Wang Susu held her son in her arms and held a bunch of grapes that were starting to turn red in one hand, and said with longing in her eyes. .
Wang Chunyuan has opened a medicine shop across the street, but there are no people there. If any villager has a headache or fever, they go to Chen Guoping.
As for people from outside, from the county and other places, they all come to see Wang Susu.
Even if you are pregnant or have a baby, there are still many people coming to see you.
Many of them came here last year. She only needs to show them once or twice, so she will make a special trip when the weather is good even if she is far away.
This made her feel a little proud.
It is inevitable that I always think about this matter.
"Okay, it's winter this year and nothing will happen. I'll go find Uncle Sangui to buy two Chinese medicine cabinets for you."
Chen Ling looked at the medicine cabinets in her arms. Son, I thought that with the virtues of a brat like me, your hope of opening a pharmacy next year is just a daydream, but I couldn’t bear to hit her, so I smiled and said, “I’ll help you when Ruirui runs away.” Looking at him, he came to the village to see a doctor when he was fine. "
"Okay, okay."
Wang Susu became more and more fascinated when she heard this, and her eyes lit up.
“If I don’t have anything else to do, I can go up the mountain to collect herbs for you. The last time my father and I went into the mountains together, there were really herbs everywhere...”
“Collecting herbs After I came back, I learned all the drying, powdering and processing from my father, so we don’t need to buy any medicinal materials."
Chen Ling continued, making his little daughter-in-law very excited.
Afterwards, she also chatted with him non-stop, hugging her son and spinning around, beaming like a little girl.
When I returned to the farm, I was still humming a little tune while walking on the path outside the village, walking briskly, and my joyful look made Chen Ling laugh to herself, wondering if she was still holding her son. They can definitely run back in a bound.
Now that she was in a happy mood, the little daughter-in-law's appetite increased. Gao Xiulan finished three of the newly steamed buns in one go.
But at night, she couldn't be happy anymore.
Nothing else, Ruirui, who had finally been at peace for two days, started to struggle again.
He couldn't even put it in a stroller. He had to be carried around in someone's arms at night to feel comfortable.
“It’s not like I didn’t take him out to play today, so his little eyes are also busy. Look here, look over there. He must be tired of looking at things. How come? Aren’t you sleepy now?”
Chen Ling hugged her son with a sad face, feeling a little regretful for the first time.
I regretted that I took this little thing to the cave too early. This energetic guy was specifically watching him and Wang Susu torment. Isn’t this making people suffer.
"How do I know, Aling, if you said he would run away, would he be more at ease?"
Wang Susu also had a sad face. She was most afraid of her son crying. She felt that when her son cried, she would get very flustered, as if the sky was about to fall.
Although in most cases, his son prefers to torment Chen Ling.
But at this time, if you let her sleep and rest, it is impossible for her to sleep.
“Ruirui is so troublesome, I always feel that my medicine shop will not be able to open.”
In modern terms, opening a small medicine shop to treat people is Her life dream...
But dreams are not as important as a son, so it’s useless to think about them.
“You stinky boy, you’re making your mother miserable, why don’t you sleep well at night?”
Chen Ling pinched his son’s body and lifted him in the air, He stared at the little guy fiercely and said.
The little guy was not afraid at all. Instead, he was very happy. He grinned and looked at Chen Ling. His two calves kept swinging. He was really restless for a moment. Where could he be? The other little dolls looked half-honest.
"Put him down quickly, his little body is so soft, don't hurt him." Wang Susu frowned worriedly when she saw Chen Ling lifting her son up.
Chen Ling sighed softly and put his son down. There was really nothing he could do with this little thing.
“I carried him out for a walk. It’s almost the beginning of autumn. It’s very cool at night and there aren’t many mosquitoes flying around.”
“Okay, just walk around twice and come back quickly. "It's cold at night."
"I know."
Chen Ling greeted his wife and walked down from the bamboo building with his son in his arms.
The farm is quiet at night. In this season, autumn is not far away. It will be cooler at night in the mountains, and even the chirping of insects and frogs will become much weaker.
Fortunately, there is a moon tonight. The moonlight is quiet and silent, as if it also knows that autumn is coming, and it falls on the ground with a little coolness.
It also reflects the sparkling light of the water canal and lotus pond.
You can even see a snail crawling slowly on the bluestone in the courtyard.
The farm under the moonlight is also very beautiful.
After Chen Ling walked down with his son in his arms, Heiwa Xiaojin heard the noise and ran over happily, wagging his tail.
With their intelligence, they naturally know that Ruirui is their little master.
Seeing Chen Ling come out with the little guy in his arms, the two guys jumped up and down around Chen Ling. They jumped very high and looked into Chen Ling's arms, as if talking about them. I also want to see the little doll.
"Here, you can take a look if you want."
When Chen Ling saw this, he squatted down with a smile, touched the heads of the two dogs, and let them get close to the son in his arms.
"Even if the little thing can't run yet, if he can run, I can leave it to you to take care of him, and I can save some worry."
As soon as he said this, that guy made Heiwa Xiaojin extremely happy. , looking at Ruirui with his eyes, humming, ears behind his back, and his tail almost wagging off.
Hei Wa was so happy that he didn’t know what to do. He rolled around on the ground. This stupid dog was the most funny. He made Rui Rui grinning in joy. , and started talking about his baby talk again with "babbling" in his mouth.
Xiao Jin is more stable, but he is also happy, wagging his tail and humming non-stop.
If it hadn't been at night, it would have screamed excitedly.
Now, he was just squatting in front of Chen Ling, grinning widely, eyes narrowed, and a smile appeared on the guy's face.
"Well, you are so sensible."
Chen Ling reached out and rubbed their big heads vigorously, but did not dare to take his son to play with them anymore.
This guy is enough for him and Wang Susu to bear now. If he thinks two dogs are fun in the future and won't sleep without two dogs to play with, it will be over.
“Go to sleep.”
After patting them gently, Chen Ling took his son into the cave.
This place is neither cold nor hot, and it is completely under his control, which is very reassuring.
After arriving in the cave, he also made a surprising discovery. He found that the little guy would become very peaceful here, neither crying nor fussing, and would soon fall asleep in his arms.
"Is this brat trying to torment me in different ways because he wants to come to the cave?" Chen Ling suddenly guessed in shock.
Then I thought about it, it was really possible.
I waited patiently for about ten minutes and then took the little guy out of the cave.
I didn’t wake up, but still slept peacefully.
Chen Ling was amused and said, "I'll try again tomorrow."
Following that, the night passed peacefully, and Wang Susu was surprised by her son's well-behavedness.
When I woke up in the morning, I couldn't help but wonder, when did my husband become so capable, and how could he deal with such a difficult son?
But soon, she no longer cared about this matter.
Because today is a lively day, after dinner, many people came to the village noisily, and even their home was affected.
Because many of the people who came were acquaintances, Qin Qiumei and Zhong Xiaoyun, Han Chuang's family, etc., not to mention Liang Hongyu's family. They had nothing to do and came the fastest.
No need to ask, they are all here to see Lao Turtle.
This is just like the "Prince Turtle Parade" in the past. As soon as Prince Turtle appears, everyone will spontaneously rush to tell each other and go to the place where Prince Turtle appears to burn incense, pray and pay homage.
Everyone who heard the news from various towns, villages, and even counties came to Chen Wangzhuang one after another.
This was the second day after the old turtle appeared, and the reservoir was surrounded by water.
Not to mention the third and fourth days, that guy started running here from the east, south and even neighboring counties.
The excitement was so lively that Chen Ling was speechless when he saw it, thinking that the scene was comparable to that in Chaozhou.
As for the increasing number of people, he had thought about whether to bring Garlic and the others back, but thinking about the unknown creatures in the reservoir, he still thought that they should be left there first.
In any case, these people will not harm them, they just come to worship them as gods.
It is true that most people will be in awe when seeing such a big old turtle.
With such rumors and atmosphere, few people go fishing.
And when the old turtle didn't show his head, he didn't do anything drastic. After worshiping once, he would come again, hoping to see the true face of Prince Turtle, and he was very pious.
As time went by, Prince Turtle's deeds spread more and more widely, and more and more people came here.
But...
This bustling and lively day did not last long, only about half a month, before it was interrupted by continuous heavy rain.
This is the heavy rain before the beginning of autumn. The rain was quite heavy and scary at the beginning.
Thunder at night can wake people up from their deep sleep. The rain falling on the tile roof is like countless people hitting the tiles with small stones. The crackling sound is harsh and makes people feel uncomfortable. I'm worried that the rain will break the roof tiles.
But fortunately, the heavy rain only lasted for half of the night, and the subsequent rains were just bursts, and the rainfall was not heavy.
This situation made countless people more in awe of "Prince Turtle". They all said that the heavy rain must have been controlled by Prince Turtle and did not start. Otherwise, their place would definitely be different from the surrounding provinces. Just like the city, there will be disasters for two consecutive years.
Don’t tell me, there are quite a few people who believe it.
And Chen Ling, who initially thought it was funny, and felt some secret satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment in his heart, has now become numb.
Listening to the father-in-law, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law talking about Lao Turtle with great interest, I even felt bored.
People are like this. It is difficult to maintain long-term interest and freshness in things that have no secrets in their eyes.
After all, he is an old turtle raised by himself. He knows everything and understands it very clearly.
After getting past the initial satisfaction of secretly poking at someone, it’s really better to tell him a story about “a wolf chasing a pig” to make him feel more attractive.
It’s just that “wolf chasing pig” is not something you encounter often.
On the contrary, cock fights are often staged these days.
The rain had just stopped that day, and it was a rare sunny day.
In fact, it has been sunny and rainy recently, and I’m not sure how long it will last.
Early in the morning, after Chen Ling got up and was about to go to the kitchen to cook, he heard the crow of chickens in the orchard.
Go outside and take a look.
Two big roosters stood on top of the chicken coop, blowing their feathers and flapping their wings, fighting fiercely.
Then he went over with a shovel and prepared to drive them away.
Roosters are aggressive.
There are too many roosters in the flock. If they are not castrated, they will be particularly prone to fighting when they reach adulthood.
Dogs will fight for the top dog.
Chickens also have to fight for their heads.
There is a saying that it is better to make a chicken head than a phoenix tail, so this is the chicken head.
To put it in a nicer way, the roosters all want to be the leader of the flock, so they often fight until the other roosters give up.
This situation is very common in the countryside.
If you don’t want the roosters to suffer losses due to fighting, you need to select a few weaker roosters and castrate them.
A castrated big rooster is no longer a rooster. Naturally, it will not be as aggressive as a male. It will eat and grow meat honestly and be very obedient.
This practice is very popular in the countryside.
So much so that "capons" and "pigs" were both a very profitable business in the past.
"It's so good to feed them. Only half a year has passed and they started fighting."
Chen Ling frowned while holding the shovel, feeling a little upset.
When he was a child, he liked to watch roosters fighting, and even used a stick to drive two big roosters together to let them fight.
There are also times when the rooster doesn't succeed, and the rooster takes offense to it, and even chases him and pecks him when he sees him on the road.
He has not been afraid of this since he was a child. He would fight with the rooster with a stick or a slingshot, often leaving chicken feathers all over the floor.
But now, I have raised my own chickens. Including last year, I still have six or seven roosters.
The rooster that grew up from this year's chicks is now half a year old and is no different from a big rooster. In addition, it has been running in the mountains all day and has an unusually wild temperament.
They are the ones who fight most frequently now. They specifically look for the big rooster leader from last year to fight. They were beaten miserably and still refused to admit defeat. They are so angry.
I had two cocks yesterday, and I had another cock today.
Unfortunately, the big roosters have been eating and drinking well since last year. Their body bones are stronger than expected, their combs are big, their beaks are like iron hooks, and their paws are so thick that they can almost hit them. Half of them are not comparable to those who are latecomers. Once they show their power, they will all fall down.
The chicken feathers on the ground were flying around, chicken blood was splattered, and there were specks of blood everywhere on the chicken coop.
"You really need to be dealt with. You are so dishonest, so I won't let you make trouble."
Chen Ling grabbed the defeated rooster and walked home, thinking if he could do it again Some of them were disobedient and didn't bother to take the trouble to capon them, so they just stewed them and ate them.
Autumn has come, and the weather has turned cooler. I stew two chickens with gastrodia elata to replenish the health of the whole family.
