Chapter 2 The golden phoenix flying out of the mountains 2
The water in the pot quickly boiled away. Tang Xin looked at the water tank. She had used all the water just now, and now she had to pick it up again if she wanted to use cold water.

Water in the mountains is basically obtained locally. Mountain spring water is sweet and delicious and is the source of water for people in mountain villages.

Tang Xin felt a little weak. She had a high fever and needed to take antipyretics as soon as possible. Otherwise, she might not have to complete the mission and become the first time traveler in the army to be burned to death by a high fever.

Let alone fetching water now, she might be able to jump over to the spring when she got there.

Tang Xin walked out of the kitchen and saw Zheng Sangsang standing in a corner of the yard washing clothes silently.

The child was not very strong, and she looked over and saw that there was no soap or detergent, just water.

This kind of laundry can't be cleaned, right?
Tang Xin walked over and coughed twice. Zheng Sangsang hurriedly raised his head, his eyes full of fear, and his voice was as thin as a mosquito.

"I...I'll have the laundry done soon."

Tang Xin noticed that her whole body was shaking a little, her shoulders were huddled up, and she looked like a pitiful pile.

"There's no rush." ​​Tang Xin softened her tone and tried to make her voice softer, "I'm going to get some medicine now. Are you coming with me or at home by yourself?"

Zheng Sangsang quickly raised his head and glanced at Tang Xin, his lips trembled for a long time, and he held back a sentence, "I... am at home."

She even shrank her neck as she spoke, fearing that her choice would make Tang Xin angry.

"Okay, mom, go out and lock the door. I'll be back soon." Tang Xin didn't force it, knowing that Zheng Sangsang was still afraid of her, so she could only try little by little to see if she could melt her attitude.

Children are actually easy to coax, as long as you give sincerity and patience, and she is most in need of these two things.

The village where Tang Xin is located is a small mountain village. There is only one barefoot doctor in the village, who can treat people with simple diseases and prepare medicines.

If it is a serious illness, you must go to the town or county.

After locking the door and putting the key away, Tang Xin followed his memory and walked to Doctor Barefoot's house.

She now walks a little unsteadily and can't exert any energy.

Fortunately, they live not very far from Dr. Barefoot's house.

Tang Xin knocked on the half-open courtyard door, and a deep voice came from inside, "Come in."

"Uncle Li, let me get some antipyretic medicine." Tang Xin came in and greeted an old man drying herbs in the yard, and explained his purpose straight to the point.

Old Man Li nodded silently, went back to the house and took out a medicine bag.

"To reduce fever, take it once every half day. If the fever is gone, don't eat it."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Li. How much does it cost?"

"Fifty cents." Old Man Li didn't show any pretense and said the price directly.

Antipyretics are relatively scarce in small mountain villages and their prices are relatively high.

Tang Xin counted the fifty cents to Old Man Li, thanked him again, and walked out of the yard slowly.

The original owner didn't have much money left, and the family's main source of income was gone, so they could only sit and eat.

The most urgent thing at the moment is making money, and she still needs to observe it before making a final decision.

On the way back, a head peeked out from behind a house on the side of the road. The face full of vicissitudes of life was filled with nervousness at the moment.

Tang Xin raised his eyebrows, the original owner was her mother-in-law Wang Jinhua.

"Mother-in-law." Tang Xin called out according to the memory of the original owner.

Wang Jinhua pulled her to the back of the room, took out a rolled up handkerchief from her arms, and stuffed it into Tang Xin's hand. "Nizi, a dead person cannot be resurrected, it is the second child who is not blessed..." Wang Jinhua said, tears welling up.

She raised her hand to wipe her tears and said, "Take this money. Although it's not much, use it sparingly. You have to give your children food to eat."

"Don't tell your sister-in-law, otherwise..."

"Hey, what are you doing sneaking around here? You're not doing any bad things behind my back, are you?"

A sharp voice came from behind Wang Jinhua. Tang Xin clearly saw Wang Jinhua stiffen and subconsciously grabbed Tang Xin's hand, her eyes were panicked and her face was shaking unconsciously.

Tang Xin calmly put her handkerchief in her pocket. The visitor was Wang Guizhi, who had just been at her house making trouble for a house.

It seems that Wang Guizhi and Wang Jinhua are from the same village.

In the past, when Zheng Da wanted to get a wife, Wang Jinhua went back to her parents' home to ask her sister-in-law to find one. Who knew she would introduce a tigress to her?

"Second daughter-in-law, what are you telling your mother-in-law here?" Wang Guizhi's little eyes rolled around on her chubby face.

Tang Xin smiled at Wang Jinhua and said slowly, "Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't have rice to cook at home, so I was just wondering if I could borrow some food from your family. I'll pay it back to you when I have money to buy it later."

"This old man won't agree, will he?" Wang Jinhua blurted out, and then she said with a sneer on her face, "I don't have enough food in my family."

"The two skin monkeys at home are just growing up. They are half-grown and poor. The food at home is not enough."

"Oh, I almost forgot. I was in a hurry just now and forgot to close the chicken pen door. Don't let the chickens escape."

Wang Guizhi said as she hurried home in a hurry.

Wang Guizhi took two steps and turned back. She grabbed Wang Jinhua and gave Tang Xin a fake smile. "Look, I need my mother-in-law to help me. Second brother and sister, please do your work. Let's go back first."

Her steps were so fast that Wang Jinhua staggered.

Tang Xin saw that her mother-in-law could catch up in the end, so she didn't speak again.

This Wang Guizhi was afraid that she would get any benefit from her family.

Tang Xin narrowed her eyes slightly. She knew that Wang Guizhi had not given up on wanting a house yet, so she wanted to find a way to completely dispel this idea.

When she got home, Sangsang was still rubbing her clothes, carefully, as if she was afraid of tearing the clothes in her hands.

Tang Xin went to the kitchen first and took a piece of antipyretic medicine with the cold water before leaving. She didn't know whether it was because her body didn't take the medicine very well, but her high fever subsided quickly.

She found a bucket and a load in the yard, and told Sangsang, "I'll go out to fetch water, but don't run around in the yard."

She saw that Sangsang was really good, so she didn't lock the door again when she went out this time.

Tang Xin, who was going out, didn't see the panic on Sangsang's face who was doing laundry. She didn't understand why her mother told her wherever she went. This was something that had never happened before.

She never dared to ask where her mother was, because if she did she would only get scolded, and over time she no longer dared to ask again.

Tang Xin's body was probably used to farm work. She tried it and found that she could move two buckets of water. She simply made two extra trips to fill the water tank.

Wiping the sweat from carrying water, Tang Xin searched for the wooden basin without stopping.

There is no proper bathroom. People here still take baths in a primitive way. They fill water in wooden basins and sit on small stools to scrub.

Tang Xin mixed the water and called Sang Sang into the kitchen, "Take off your clothes."
