Hard work

Chapter 10 Disease [Second update]

Bandit Lord Red King.

This is the first time that Lan Huaer has really heard the news about those bandits in the deep mountains.At the beginning, when she heard people in the village say this, she thought it was just a thing to scare people.Just like when she was a child, her family always liked to tell her: "If you are disobedient, I will throw you out to feed the big bad wolf"-in fact, where did the big bad wolf come from.

It turns out that there are really bandits in that mountain, why are they not called bandits?

But these have little to do with orchids.

She runs into the mountains every day, digs out squirrel nests, and even digs snow pits, hoping to find something edible inside.

It is said that there are winter rabbits in this mountain.

It's just that Lanhua'er is not lucky, and has never met her.

She can now easily find the hibernating nests of squirrels, and her chances of catching squirrels are greatly improved.

Catching squirrels is no longer just for meat.

Lan Huaer cut off the squirrel skins one by one, tanned the inner dura mater with sand, and spread them on the kang to dry.

Goudan especially likes to roll on that layer of fur, it's so fluffy, it makes him laugh out loud.

Once, Lan Huaer found a nest of voles in the snow nest, sleeping soundly and plumply.

Lan Hua'er recalled the Cantonese method in her previous life. She brought them home one by one and roasted them over fire. They were crispy, crispy, and the oil stars squeaked. The two siblings almost swallowed the bones of voles. went into the stomach.

From then on, Lan Huaer became more keen on shaving snow nests.

The field mouse's nest was not easy to find, and she only found it once.

More often, she still digs squirrel holes.

After walking far, she realized that the back mountain of Aozi Village stretches continuously for a long distance, and she doesn't know how big it is.If you really go in and get lost in it, you probably won't be able to get out easily, and you can only go further and further away.

She warned herself in her heart not to get too complacent, lest it really be like the village head said that extreme joy begets sorrow.

What Lan Huaer didn't expect was that she fell ill before February.

When she woke up that morning, she felt a little dizzy, and the joints and bones of her hands and feet also hurt badly.

As usual, she fetched water and swept the ground, and when she was about to wipe the kang and the stove, she felt a sudden blackness in front of her eyes.It was as if something was pressing on his chest, and he was so tight that he couldn't breathe.

Goudan looked at her anxiously and called out timidly, "Sister".

Only then did Lan Hua'er realize that she was bending over to support the wall, almost falling to the ground.

I have to make food for Goudan.

She bit her lip, but she couldn't pull herself up anyway.

Goudan climbed off the kang, ran to her side, tugged at her sleeve and looked at her anxiously.

She forced herself to shake her head weakly, trying to smile to show that she was fine, but the expression on her face must have been ugly at all.She just felt that the world was dizzy, except for the rough feeling of the wall on her hands, she could hardly even feel her own feet.

After propping up against the wall like this for a while, she felt a little calmer.

Goudan was already beside him with tears in his eyes, and he didn't understand anything, he just had an anxious face.

Lan Hua'er poured half a scoop of hot water, drank it weakly, then supported Goudan's shoulders, leaning against the wall, and fell down on the kang.

"God, don't run around. I'm hungry... I'm hungry... eat some fruit..."

Before closing her eyes, she didn't forget to tell Goudan.

Goudan nodded hurriedly.

She slept so restlessly that she didn't even know if she was asleep or not.

In a daze, I just felt that I was lying down, my whole body was in pain, it was dry, and my lips were cracked from the burn.She stuck out her tongue to lick again and again, but couldn't muster the strength to get up and pour some water.

She was uncomfortable, she wanted to cry, and felt that the world was so quiet that only her own breathing was left.

"flower."

Someone was calling beside her.

"Orchid."

There seemed to be a bit of concern and worry in the voice.

Who?
She tried hard to open her eyes, but it was as if someone had thrown a handful of sand under her eyelids, which made the eyeballs hurt, and it was as if they were stuck, and she couldn't open them at all.

Maybe I'm dreaming.

The sound only rang for a while, and then there was no more sound.

It seemed that someone touched her forehead, touched her wrist, and covered her with a quilt.

Then she really fell asleep.

When Lan Huaer woke up again, the room was already too dark to see people clearly.

She stared at the dark roof with half-closed eyes, and for a moment, she suddenly couldn't understand where she was.Is her name Lan Huaer or Min Shu?

But her eyes widened immediately, and she turned over and sat up "swish".

Goudan hasn't eaten all day!

A small wet cloth fell from her forehead as she moved.

She was stunned.

A joyful voice called out to her:
"Yo, Lan Hua'er is awake."

It was a middle-aged man she didn't know.

The man was thin, not weak, but a bit tall and straight, with a clean and elegant atmosphere all over his body.And unlike the farmers in the village, he was wearing a thick long gown.

Lan Hua'er didn't recognize that person.

The middle-aged man looked very good-tempered, and smiled at Lan Hua'er's puzzled eyes:
"You caught the wind and cold, and you got burned in the morning. Goudan saw that you were not breathing well, so he went to the yard and cried for Uncle Fugui and Aunt Lin. Aunt Lin came over to see you like this, and then hurriedly called me to see you. of."

Is that Mr. Doctor in the village?

Lan Hua'er opened her mouth, but felt her throat was burning so badly that she couldn't utter a word.

Mr. Langzhong smiled again, got up and went to the stove to pour a bowl of water for her, and handed it over.

After drinking some water to moisten her throat, she finally felt better.It's just that the whole body is still weak, without a trace of strength.

"Thanks……"

Mr. sat down at the end of the kang and looked at her gently:
"I asked Goudan to sleep at Brother Fugui's house first, and share a kang with Tiesheng. He is still young, so don't get over your illness. You are in a hurry this time because the cold and humidity when you fell into the water before I haven’t cleaned it up, and I’ve been running on the back hill, my body is too weak to keep out the cold, so I’ll rest for a few days and drink the medicine, and it should be all right.”

The words were so gentle and polite that Lan Hua'er felt so ashamed that the back of her ears turned red.

"Thank you, sir……"

The gentleman was taken aback, and interrupted her:

"You call me sir? Who taught you?"

She was also taken aback, and said "Oops" in her heart, didn't everyone in this village shout like that.Are they all called doctors?
But I can only bite the bullet and say:
"Brother Hua taught me instead."

Mr. just laughed:

"Your family is very particular."

She breathed a sigh of relief.
