ancient female doctor

Chapter 73

The way home was very long.

Xiaobai triumphantly leads the way, Qingzhu walks in the middle holding a green shirt, and Ah Mo is one meter away behind them, carrying two large bunches of wild game.In addition to the hare pheasant, there is even a fawn.

The moonlight is so beautiful tonight... Oh, fifteen.

Qingshan has been in school for so long and has been writing for so long, how come there are no calluses on his hands?Oh, I took his left hand.

……

Qingzhu was thinking wildly absent-mindedly until he stepped on a piece of dry wood and made a click.

"Ah Mo!" Qingzhu shouted loudly, in fact Ah Mo was behind her, he could hear her lower her voice.It's just that if you don't speak louder, how can you cover up the trembling hidden in your tone...

"Well, what happened?"

Ah Mo's voice was as blue and cold as ever, but under the darkness of night, it seemed a little awkwardly warm.

"It's almost winter, and it's time to prepare firewood at home. In winter, it's hard to get firewood when the mountains are covered by heavy snow. You need to chop more." Qingzhu's tone seemed a bit rambling.

"Okay, I'll go up the mountain to cut firewood tomorrow." Although the green bamboo couldn't be seen, Ah Mo nodded.

"There are very few vegetables in winter. The small vegetable garden in our backyard is only enough for the three of us to eat daily. What should we do if we have no vegetables in winter? Do you want to buy some cabbage and carrots? Those vegetables are not easy to spoil, and they can be eaten all winter." Okay." Qingzhu rolled up the corner of his clothes with his empty hands a little uneasily.

"Okay, isn't there a few families who specialize in growing and buying vegetables next to Wangjiaji? I'll go and have a look later, and buy some more." Ah Mo looked at Qingzhu's back gently, with a touch of pampering in his eyes.

"Then if we want to buy vegetables, we have to dig a cellar. Otherwise, we might freeze the vegetables if we put them outside. Do you know how to dig a cellar?" Qingzhu said again.

"I haven't dug the cellar, but there are so many people in the village who have dug the cellar, so you will know when the time comes." Ah Mo said.

"That's true." Qingzhu nodded, and then said: "Do you think it will be particularly cold this winter? Otherwise, let's go to the town and buy a carload of charcoal and come back. We can buy medium-grade charcoal, and it won't be too expensive. Can it be used? You don't know, it's very cold here in winter. Last year, I almost thought I was going to freeze to death.

In the memory of the original owner, last winter seemed to be really cold, so cold that he piled all the torn cotton and rotten clothes on his body, and he didn't feel warm.If it weren't for being able to hug Qingshan to keep warm, the siblings would have frozen into popsicles long ago.

Qingzhu shook off the memory of the original owner, and then babbled: "I just don't know if a car is enough... There are three of us, and a car of charcoal weighs about 45 catties. There is at least one and a half months of winter here to warm up. One and a half months is [-] days. Seven catties, I'm afraid it won't be enough? Forget it, let's buy a car regardless of whether we can use it up or not."

"It's a pity that we don't have a place to put charcoal. We should have built an extra room if we knew it earlier, so we don't have to be so tight. Or put it in the pharmacy? It just so happens that charcoal can absorb moisture, and we don't worry that the medicinal materials will get wet. It kills two birds with one stone." .”

"Okay, let's go buy charcoal together. But you don't need to go to the town, isn't there charcoal in Jiang's village? Let's go directly to Jiang's village to buy it, it should be much cheaper." Ah Mo's heart ached, staring at the green bamboo The eyes from the back became more and more gentle.He had already guessed why Qingzhu did this, but he didn't even dare to say a word to reassure her.

He is not good enough for her.

Not because of Qingshan's words, but, this is the fact.

"Ah Mo, am I missing something? Quickly help me think about it." Qingzhu racked her brains, but she could only find these topics, feeling very unwilling.

"We also need to prepare cotton-padded clothes and quilts. In addition, the rabbit skin and deerskin are tanned. The rabbit skin is made into a jacket, and the deerskin is made into boots. This way, you will not be afraid of the cold. It is also easy to go outside in snowy days Don't worry about getting your shoes wet."

"There are also rice noodles. If it's cold, it's not easy to go to the market to buy. You need to buy more. It's better to buy two more large clay pots and put the rice noodles in the pots. Don't worry about the rice noodles getting wet. You also need to buy a piece of suet Come back, lard used for soup in winter is more fragrant, and it also keeps the cold away.”

"When it just snowed, before the heavy snow closed the mountains, we could still go and buy twenty catties of pork, and then buy some pig bones or something, and put them in snowdrifts and freeze them well. Pig heads are needed for ancestor worship, and pig heads for New Year's Eve. If you eat fish, you will have fish left over, and if you eat mutton to keep warm, you can buy a leg if you have a chance..." Following Qingzhu's words, Ah Mo said slowly.

"Yes, yes, you can also make bacon and sausages. You don't know, Mo, I read how to make these in ancient books. Unfortunately, I didn't have money before, and I thought for nothing. This year, I can finally achieve my wish. You don't know if there is no Bacon and sausages are not called Chinese New Year. We can also prepare some melon seeds and peanuts, and when the Chinese New Year is thirty, we can roast peanuts to eat..." Qingzhu said, tears slid down like that.

She laughed at herself, carefully turned her back to Ah Mo, and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

It's a pity, no matter how secretive she is, Ah Mo has seen her movements, and because of this, Ah Mo's heart hurts even more. For a moment, he almost wanted to just stay there, stay in Daqingshan, stay behind. In this village, staying by her side... Just protecting her alone.

But in the blink of an eye, the blood of more than a hundred people poured into his mind so abruptly, making him want to howl like a wolf in pain.

"There are so many preparations, can we finish eating?" Qingshan, who had been ignored for a long time, saw that the two were silent together, and finally found a chance to speak and express his views.

"Don't be afraid if you can't finish it, anyway, it won't go bad in the next spring, we just need to eat it before summer comes." Qingzhu's voice was slightly nasal, which made her regret speaking now.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Did you catch a cold?" Qingshan asked worriedly, hearing Qingzhu's nasal voice keenly.

"Maybe, I felt a little cold just now." Qingzhu nodded following Qingshan's words, and said.

"Then let's go back quickly. There is heavy dew in the mountains. It's late autumn, so it will be cold. If you really catch the wind and cold, it will be troublesome." Qingshan believed it was true, and was anxious at the time, pulling Qingzhu to speed up the pace.

"Woooo..."

When approaching the gate of the courtyard, Xiaobai's warning voice came from the front. Looking over by the moonlight, two black shadows stood motionless in front of the green bamboo courtyard gate, as if they were two pitch-black statues.

Seeing the two black shadows at the gate of his courtyard, Qingzhu was startled, and squeezed the hand holding Qingshan heavily, but fortunately Qingshan endured it and did not cry out.

So soon, is it coming?

　Mom, happy birthday!
