Fertile land

Chapter 54

"I'm sorry, I'd like to... lend you your hand... for a moment." Luo Zhi'er drowsily picked up a thick hand and pressed it between his eyebrows.

She looked as if she was afraid of losing her hand. Holding it, the warm touch would soothe her a little. Familiar scenes flashed through her mind...

Li Sanmao was helpless by her little movements. He touched her soft skin and found her cute, but his eyes were full of anxiety. He felt that her expression was painful...

"Linglong...Linglong...No!" She wanted to catch something...

Something seems to be biting in your mouth?The man groaned.

After a while, she felt like there was nothing left in her mouth, and low and concerned words came to her ears.
"Daughter-in-law, are you feeling better? I'm...going to find the doctor. Can you sit by yourself on the side of the road for a while?"

The moment he fell down, he was so anxious that if it were daytime, everyone could see that he was a big man with red eyes.

Seeing that his wife's brows were finally relaxed and calm, she said.

Because he has considered that his wife's condition is no better than others.

She specified that she couldn't walk across. He tried it just now and it was a bit difficult to move.

It weighs three hundred kilograms, not a hundred kilograms, and it's a little difficult for him to carry it...

You can't carry it like that. In fact, he is already very powerful and strong.

I usually carry wild boars and other wild animals on my back, so if I can move her weighing more than 300 kilograms, it’s pretty good.

The main reason is that I am afraid that she will be injured a second time, and I hate that I can do nothing to see her suffer...

Luo Zhi'er slowly woke up and said weakly,
"No, that's not necessary. It's probably too hot and I'm suffering from heatstroke. I just need to rest for a while!"

He opened his eyes weakly and looked at the enlarged face in front of him, his eyes full of anxiety and worry...

She knew what was going on with her. Everything was just like what Dr. Du had just described in the drug store... She was guilty of a poisonous cup.

Looking at the arm where he had finished feeding her water, there was a big tooth mark, "Husband, was that... made by me?"

"Sorry……"

"It's okay, it can't compare to the pain you just suffered!"

He was afraid she would bite him, so he stretched out his arm...

"It's all my fault. I usually only focus on hunting and don't exercise properly, so I can't carry you! I've made you suffer!"

Li Sanmao pulled her messy hair in self-reproach... She shouldn't have been angry with her just now. Was she so angry with him that she became sick?

"San Mao, I'm just a little dizzy right now... I don't blame you for this. It's because I'm too fat. I need to lose weight... I'll be fine in a while... You don't have to worry!"

The sound buzzed like a feeble little mosquito.

His wife was still comforting him, and after speaking, she closed her eyes again...

Li Sanmao's nose felt sore, "Daughter-in-law, if you feel uncomfortable, just take a rest and stop talking. Don't worry, I will always be here to watch over you."

There were horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts on this avenue, and pedestrians were passing by. It was getting dark, and he looked afraid of being run over...

The pain of the blood cup was too painful. It felt like insects were biting her bones. She had a splitting headache and something in her abdomen seemed to be penetrating.

Luo Zhi'er held her stomach and head just now, wishing she could find a piece of ice or a stone to hit herself to death...

He pinched his thigh hard to prevent himself from fainting from the pain and falling into the abyss.

Because she felt that once she fainted, she would fall into a bottomless black hole and never wake up again.

She was certain that Luo Zhi'er did not slip and fall into the water and drown, but that she deliberately fell into the water because she couldn't bear the pain due to the illness.

After about 20 minutes, she finally opened her eyes slightly. Li Sanmao watched her silently, observing her condition and saw that she was much calmer.

Dip her lips with honey water and wipe the sweat from her head...

"Daughter-in-law, how are you now?"

"It's better now..."

"I think we can go home. Miaomiao must be waiting impatiently."

"You can rest for a while and don't be in a hurry."

Li Sanmao said seriously.

"Oh!"

Luo Zhi'er put his hands on his forehead, finally feeling relaxed. He really seemed like he was fine when nothing happened...

So she didn't feel much these days...

Alas, this kind of sin is really not something that humans should suffer.

She is most afraid of pain in her life and is full of fear of the next attack. Are the attacks regular?
Maybe later?
How to do?
This accelerated her pace to find the old man who raised the cup, and before that, she prayed that it would not come again.

There are pedestrians on the roadside looking at them. What's going on with these two people?

People were poking around and talking about why this fat woman was lying on the ground. They didn't know what was going on.

Someone also kindly asked him to see a doctor... He helped see the doctor, but Luo Zhi'er refused.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

At this time, not far away, a cow whip was whipping the cattle, and with a "snap" sound, it hit the cow's butt...

"Mang...Mang..." There was another "Crack!" sound in the air.

It turned out to be Zhao Maogen from the village, and they haven’t gone back yet!
His ox cart pulled a cart of villagers, the same people who were still there early in the morning, and they were just staggering back to the village.

Aunt Qian is asking if the chicken and duck eggs that Aunt Zheng brought today have been sold out?

They were chatting, some were chatting, I bought some today, when will I come next time...

Zhao’s second daughter-in-law, Aunt Huaihua, was still complaining about Aunt Juhua:
"What the hell, it's all up to you!"

"You said you could just let us wait for you for half a quarter of an hour, but it would be better if you left and stopped coming. As a result, our car was left waiting for you for an hour."

Gou Sheng's mother said: "Didn't I say it was an accident? I didn't know I had to wait in line at the drug store for so long!"

"Yes, if it weren't for you, I would have gone back to the village to have dinner!"

Villager Liu Suozi touched his growling stomach and said.

In order to save some money, he spent a whole day wandering around the town. He was so exhausted that he didn't even want to spend money on food to fill his stomach.

"Liu Suozi, don't say that. You don't have food to eat, and you can't rely on me. It's your fault that you have no money!"

"You are a man who is ungrateful for waiting for you for so long. Thank you. I won't be able to deal with you next time!"

"Tch, fight if you like! Who wants to deal with your family if you are a poor guy!"

Liu Suozi was so angry that he was pulled by the person next to him, Aunt Zheng, and said, "Old Liu, what nonsense are you talking to a woman like her?"

Liu Suozi is in his fifties and belongs to a mixed-surname family in the village. He also has an old woman who is nearly eighty years old. Because she is a Shuozi, she has never been able to marry a wife.

Aunt Juhua touched her stomach. Actually, she wanted to see if Luo Zhi'er was selling anything at the drug store, but unfortunately her stomach hurt.

I don't know if she was greedy, so she secretly bought a cheap meat bun in the town and ate it.

She said it smelled a bit rancid. It was a hot summer day, so she probably bought yesterday's ones, so she kept having diarrhea several times...

After leaving the gate, there was no trace of Luo Zhi'er and his wife... "That's right, who wants to deal with a sneaky family if they are not afraid of attracting thieves in the house!"

"You! Liu Suozi, what are you talking about? With such a venomous mouth, no wonder he is a suo'er!" Gou Sheng's mother's eyes turned white with anger.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about! What's wrong with me as a shuttler? If I don't steal or rob, how can you still attack me personally?"

"Hey, let's all comment..." Aunt Juhua shouted...

"Okay, okay, don't make any noise. It's too late. It's too late. In a village, if you look up and don't see you when you look down, what's the point?"

"I'm going back late, so I'll have a late meal."

said the peacemaker.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

Zhao Maogen's head hurt from the noise.

As a coachman, he was used to such trivial matters and noise day after day.

Suddenly he narrowed his cloudy eyes alertly...

It seems that I saw a large, dark, and strange obstacle on the ground not far ahead.

When the bullock cart approached, I looked closer and saw that it was a man carrying a basket on his back...

The basket was covered with a piece of blue cloth, and there was a large group of human figures lying on the ground.

"Stop, stop! Cow, stop!"

He pulled the cow rope, causing him to almost run over someone. Everyone was frightened by his scolding and their eyes widened. After a quick look, they saw the person on the ground clearly: "Three, three hairs?"

Li Sanmao looked up and saw Zhao Maogen, his eyes filled with joy, "Uncle Maogen, haven't you returned to the village yet?"

"Yes, I've been delayed for a while. What's wrong with your wife?"

I probed my neck, and it seemed that there was less air coming in and more air coming out. Is this something bad?
She is fat, even when she fell into the river last time.

"Miaomiao's mother is a little uncomfortable. Uncle Maogen, can you take us back to the village together? I beg you!"

"Uh...this..."

He looked at the big man on the ground, wiped the sweat from his head, and spread his hands, "Sanmao, this... look at your wife's physique, you know, even my uncle is powerless!"
Others also poked their noses in the neck and talked a lot, some women pursed their lips...

"That is to say, you didn't take a look at your wife's tonnage? We just went home in the dark!"

"She got on... the cart and the oxen couldn't move. If the cart collapsed and something happened on the road, how could we deal with it? The old and the young in our family..."

"Bah, bah, bah! Damn it, if you can't speak, don't say anything. It's not because of you that I'm late home!" Aunt Huaihua quickly stopped her.

"Hmph! Forget it, I won't tell you, Sanmao, wasn't your wife just in the drugstore seeing a doctor? What's wrong with her? Didn't the doctor take good care of her?"

"It seems that Dr. Du's skills are not very good! There are so many people queuing up!"

Aunt Juhua didn't like Doctor Du, so she deliberately wanted to bury him.

I felt so happy, thinking, damn fat man, who told her not to tell her how to make money just now?

Haha, isn’t this, retribution is coming, right?
"Sanmao, what's going on with this wife?"

Aunt Qian: "Looks like something's wrong. Could it be that something bad happened to me? Oh, Sanmao, please go and invite Wong Tai Sin! Call me a ghost!"

It’s dark, so it’s not necessarily possible on this road!

People in the car were chirping and pointing. Aunt Zheng said: "San Mao, your wife is fat. She must be suffering from heatstroke. Please give her a pinch and drink some water."

After all, the little daughter-in-law of a village can only be seen when she looks up but not when she looks down.

"Aunt Zheng, thank you for your kindness. I gave her honey water just now!"

"Oh...that's it. What's wrong with her?"

Luo Zhi'er frowned and said calmly: "Husband, I'm fine. Thank you everyone for your kindness. We'll walk back later. No need to trouble Uncle Maogen..."

Zhao Maogen looked a little embarrassed. He was not the only driver of the bullock cart in the village.

But in this business, you can’t be too outspoken. When people come to take the bus, you walk over by yourself in the morning. If you feel uncomfortable at night, you have to walk back by yourself. “Haha, here, Sanmao’s wife, if you are thinner, I will squeeze you.” I pulled you up...Look at this, I really can’t help it!”

When everyone saw her speaking, they felt that she must be fat and fainted from the heat.

"Let's go, let's go!" He urged Zhao Maogen to leave quickly!

"Let's go, Zhao Maogen! My man is waiting at home impatiently!" Gou Shengniang urged.

"Pfft! Just now we were waiting for you and you made a lot of excuses. Now you are in a hurry. That's right. If you go back late, some of you will probably get beaten!"

Aunt Huaihua winked.

Aunt Juhua won't accept her...

"It looks like nothing is going on. That's good, Maogen, let's go quickly! It's dark! Sanmao, give your wife some more water..."

"Eh!"

Zhao Maogen looked at them a little apologetically: "Sanmao, let's go then."

"Your wife asked her to rest on the ground for a while, and if she needs anything else, take her to the drug store to see if she does it again. If this old man pulls a bullock cart, he will do it again..."

It seemed that what he said was a little wrong, "Ahem..." He cleared his throat awkwardly, roared like a cow and left...

Seeing them walking away, Luo Zhi'er said,

"Husband, please... give me a hand. I want to get up. Miaomiao must be waiting impatiently!"

Li Sanmao blamed her and said,
"You're already like this, don't worry about Miaomiao first, why don't you just focus on yourself?"

Luo Zhi'er lowered his eyes and smiled, "Miaomiao, she is my precious daughter, how can I not worry about her?"

Yubi supported Li Sanmao's arm, and Li Sanmao pulled her. She also struggled to stand up. The half-circle moon in the sky had penetrated the clouds and moved up quietly...

Everything was foggy, and the little girl would have really cried if it was any later.

Thinking about her, she used to wait for her grandma to go work on the farm in a valley. She would go back from school during the summer vacation, but her grandma was nowhere to be found.

She searched all over the house and waited until dark when he was gone. The worry and anxiety... remained fresh in her memory.

After standing up and taking a short rest, the two of them walked towards Zhao Licun...

Li Sanmao looked at his stubborn wife worriedly, "Daughter-in-law, if you are in trouble, tell me and I will think of a solution!"

"How about I rent a bullock cart?"

"Okay, husband, I said I'm fine. Where can you rent a bullock cart at this point? Even if you can rent it, people will have to lower the price because of my size!"

"Daughter-in-law, your body is the most important to me!"

"Haha! Husband, what do you think we also buy a carriage by then?"

"If you want to buy one, just buy one that's super big, one with four big horses. No one will say I crushed their car anymore, and we don't have to walk home anymore."

There is a longing look in the eyes...
