Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 19 There is no good person in the village
Two people and a dog were walking in the mountains along the creek.

The girl is slender and taller than Wang Chengzhou. She has long legs and can jump up and down with her toes slightly on the bluestone, like an elf.

The dog waggled its tail and followed her slowly.

The stream is clear, and occasionally a small fish swims by, which always attracts its attention. When you stick your neck to observe, a huge dog's head is reflected on the water.

However, Wang Chengzhou suffered a bit.

He was already weak, and he was out of breath after trudging through mountains and rivers.

I was so tired that I couldn't walk anymore. I held my knees and shouted, "Girl, where are you going? There are deep mountains and old forests further in. It's not safe."

The girl stopped and turned around to look at him, her clear eyes full of surprise.

I don't seem to understand why some people can be so tired even after walking.

However, seeing him looking at her longingly, the girl still stretched out her slender fingers and pointed in the direction of the village.

Then, he waved his hand again.

This is, driving yourself away?

Wang Chengzhou felt a little reluctant for some reason and muttered:

"Girl, you saved my life, how can I abandon you?"

"I heard from my parents that there are wild beasts in the back mountains. The golden leopard just now is an example. You should not go further in. Let's go back to the village while the sun is still high."

"By the way, are you from Shuixi Village or Yanggao Village? Judging from your height, you must be from Yanggao Village, right? I never expected that a woman like you could be born in this earthly nest of ours."

The girl blinked and smiled faintly.

Then, he turned around and pointed to the mountain stream, making a sleeping posture.

Wang Chengzhou was stunned and said in surprise: "You mean you live here? It's impossible."

Then, he realized something, his face changed drastically, and he said in disbelief: "You... you are a mute?" After saying this, he regretted it, couldn't help but patted himself a few times, and apologized quickly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to .”

The girl didn't care at all, waved her hand, turned and left.

Somehow, looking at that beautiful figure, Wang Chengzhou suddenly felt boundless pity in his heart.

Such an outstanding woman turned out to be aphasic.

Sure enough, fate is jealous and stingy in bestowing perfection on the world.

"Hey!"

Wang Chengzhou sighed, and his mood suddenly dropped.

Seeing the girl's figure gradually disappearing into the mist in the mountains, I couldn't keep chasing after her.

Then I gathered my mood and planned to return to the village.

However, after taking a few steps, his neck stiffened and he had to stop.

Sweat slowly broke out on his forehead.

My uncle, there are leopards on the mountain!

When he thought of the bloodthirsty eyes of that terrifying predator, his legs became weak and he could no longer take a step.

No, I have to be escorted by the heroine before I can go home!
As soon as a thought arises in my mind, the sky and the earth suddenly become wider.

After finding a legitimate reason, Wang Chengzhou jumped for joy and chased after him.

There are no forks in the mountain stream, just follow the stream all the way forward.

Finally, I saw the curling smoke on the hillside beside the stream.

A big yellow dog lay bored among the flowers, teasing the flying butterflies with the tip of its nose from time to time, but was choked by pollen and sneezed.

Several thatched huts stood among the ridges of a field.

There are tender green seedlings growing on the straight vegetable beds, some of which have already bloomed small yellow flowers.

It's obvious that the owner put a lot of effort into it.

The girl was sitting on the bluestone by the stream, not afraid of the cold, with her bare feet gently lapping the water.

The aroma of medicine wafted out of the thatched cottage behind me, and the smell was a bit familiar.

Hearing the footsteps, the girl raised her head in surprise and raised her eyebrows as she looked at Wang Chengzhou, who was staggering towards the stream.

"Girl, it turns out you live in a place like this." "Duo!"

Before he finished speaking, a red-tasseled gun flew into the air and was inserted at the tip of his toe.

Under the great force, the tip of the spear penetrated the river bank, and the pole made of white wax strips shook rapidly.

Wang Chengzhou raised his hands and was so frightened that he stopped breathing. He didn't understand why this woman with a quiet temperament suddenly turned against him.

The girl's face was deserted, her jade fingers stretched out, her big eyes unblinking, still pointing in the direction of the village outside the mountain.

Wang Chengzhou complained secretly, in this barren mountain, if she got angry and revolted, he, a young man, would have to deal with it here.

Then, if you just throw it into the mountains, you won't find any bones.

However, he retreated without saying a word. If he ran into a leopard, it would be no different than a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

It can be said that there is a wolf in front and a tiger behind, a dilemma.

I could only take courage and explain:

"Girl, I'm not here to disturb your peace. The mountain road is really dangerous and I don't dare to walk alone."

"So, I caught up with you to ask if you could give me a ride?"

"Of course, if you are really unhappy, then I will leave alone."

The girl was slightly startled when she heard his words.

With bare feet, I gently jumped off the bluestone, wiped it a little, put on my shoes and left.

When he passed by, Rouyi took his right hand and walked out briskly.

Feeling the warmth in his palms, Wang Chengzhou felt dizzy.

Everyone was stunned.

Although the current social atmosphere is not like that in ancient times, it is still shocking for a girl whom she just met to take the initiative to hold the hand of a strange man.

Wang Chengzhou only felt as if he was walking lightly, being pulled by the girl, as if he was flying in the clouds.

However, after taking a few steps, the girl's expression suddenly changed.

Grab him and run back.

When he reached the hut, he pushed him into the kitchen and closed the wooden door heavily.

Wang Chengzhou didn't know why, so he hid inside blankly, looking out through the crack in the door.

I saw an old man walking out of the mountain, holding a rabbit in his hand, looking energetic and smiling.

Seeing the girl from a distance, he shouted:

"Xiao Hongying, look what grandpa brought you?"

"Rabbits in spring are not easy to catch, and it took a lot of effort on my part. Let's stew rabbit meat for dinner in the evening."

"By the way, have you gone to Qianshan today?"

With a happy face, the girl jumped up to meet him, took the dead rabbit into her hands, and smiled with her eyebrows raised.

Her expression was cute, and her desire to leave the world was gone.

Just hearing the old man's question, the expression on his face was slightly unnatural, and he nodded stiffly.

"Hmph, just take a look from a distance next time." The old man's face darkened and he cursed: "There is no good person in the village, so don't associate with them."

The girl nodded.

Only then did the old man regain his smile and said dotingly:

"I'll put these things away. Grandpa will cook them later."

"By the way, did you drink the medicine I made for you just now?"

"I went into the mountains to collect them. It took a lot of effort. Don't waste it. It will be good for your illness."

When the girl heard this, she was completely panicked and nodded hurriedly.

"You didn't drink, right?" The old man sighed and said helplessly: "You girl, everything is written on your face. How did you learn to lie today?"
