It has just entered early spring, and the ice and snow have not yet melted, but the temperature has risen a lot. Wearing winter cotton clothes for activities outside, you can already feel the heat slightly.

In the afternoon, the sun was still abundant, and it was warm on the body.Father Lu and Su Gu'an were chatting casually at the side, and Su Yu was walking a little ahead.

Now Su Yu is almost familiar with the terrain and people of this village. It's not like when he first came here, he met a person on the road and didn't know what to call him.

"I said An Zi, why did you even think of signing the contract? I think Lao Sun is quite honest, and he won't cheat you." Father Lu said his doubts.

Su Gu'an was very embarrassed to hear this question. Qingshui Village has been in Qingshui Village for so many years, how can there be land and a contract signed? I really don't know how to speak to the old grandson.

Su Yu saw that Su Gu'an was in a dilemma, so he explained for him: "That's not the case, father, after signing this contract, we are actually the ones who are restricted."

Father Lu looked at Su Yu puzzled, since you are the ones who are restricted, why do you still have to sign? "Why did you say that?"

Su Yu continued: "We are the ones who leased the land. We have to pay Uncle Sun a deposit in spring, and we have to pay for the land together in autumn. If the harvest is not good and we can't make up the money, wouldn't we be in breach of the contract? ? So my father is kind, and he doesn't want to let brothers in a village suffer."

As soon as Su Yu said this, Father Lu felt that the child's low position in his heart was much higher.

After arriving at Sun's house, it was still Su Yu who explained the purpose of coming.The Sun family has only one son, who was recruited by the city to serve as a soldier last year. Now that the two old people are at home and there is no labor force, they want to rent out their own land.But they don't understand such things as contracts. Su Yu repeated what he had said to Father Lu just now, so that the Sun family and his wife were very happy, so they don't have to worry about taking money away in autumn. There is no more money.

"But Uncle Sun, Aunt Sun, if something happens to your land during this period, then we won't be able to pay all the money in the fall. It is clearly written in the contract, and I also asked Lu Dad will also be our witness, if you have no objection, please make your fingerprint here." Su Yu pointed to the blank space on the paper and said.

After everything was settled, the three of them slowly went home separately.On the way, Su Yu couldn't help asking Su Gu'an: "Father, have you inspected the old Sun's land? How is the land?" How the grain grows is not only related to the seeds, but also to the fertility of the land. The degree and the care of the day after tomorrow are inseparable.

Although Su Yu believed that Su Gu'an had been farming all his life, he must be much better than her, but he still couldn't help asking.

"I've seen it all. This land is next to our North Land. It's convenient to go back and forth by oxcart. And last year, we harvested a lot of grain here. Don't worry." Su Gu'an told himself about the land He is very proud of his eyes, and he is very relieved to see that the matter of the contract can be resolved in such a smooth manner.

"Northern land? Isn't that next to Beishan? The newly acquired land is also at the foot of the mountain?" Su Yu frowned slightly.Mountainous areas are generally not suitable for Chinese grain harvesting. For example, the northern land of their home is close to the mountain. The side far away from the mountain is fine, but the harvest near the mountain is always not very good.

"It's okay, the rent is cheap anyway." Su Gu'an signaled Su Yu to relax.

Suddenly Su Yu remembered something: "Father, is there a stream near the mountain in our land?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"In my opinion, you can change the place near the creek into two paddy fields. Anyway, because the place is flooded every year, the dry fields can't get any good harvests." Su Yu suggested.

"I'm afraid it won't work. It's too troublesome. It's changed to a paddy field, and I have to go there to plant rice." Su Gu'an hesitated.

"Father, you can't think that way." Su Yu persuaded again: "You have to think about how much profit you can get. Anyway, I can go to work with you this year, and there is no shortage of labor. Since the new contract The land is still adjacent to the original land of our family, so if the land is turned into a paddy field, it will be a large area. In autumn, the rice harvest there will definitely be much better than that of corn!"

Su Gu'an was also said to be reassured, after all, there is no food for that piece of land every year. "I'll discuss it with your mother when I get home. If it doesn't work, I can only do this."

When the two of them reached the door of the house while they were talking, they saw Wang Sang was in a hurry to go out. After seeing Su Guan, he immediately said anxiously: "Guan is not good, Su Bai suddenly developed a high fever, you hurry up and take him away." Go see a doctor!"

Su Yu's heart skipped a beat. She has never been sick for so long in ancient times, and her home is safe and sound. She still feels that the gods are very kind to this poor man, but she really didn't expect that Su Bai would be at this juncture I got sick.

Rushing into the room in a hurry, I saw Su Fang covering Su Bai's forehead with a cool towel. Su Bai's little face was flushed, and he didn't speak, just lying there sickly with his eyes closed, lifeless at all. look.

"How could this be?" Su Yu really couldn't figure out why he was so seriously ill for no reason.

Su Fang was also very anxious. Su Bai didn't look like an adult, he passed it after a while, and now seeing such a small child suffering from illness, unable to eat and sleep well, who doesn't feel distressed.

"I don't know either. This child has been very inactive in the afternoon. When I touched it at night, I found out that it was a high fever. Sister, what should I do? Nothing will happen to Su Bai, right?"

Su Yu was also anxious, but she knew that as the eldest sister, she must be the master, and she couldn't be confused by worrying.So she forced a smile and said in relief: "It's okay Xiaofang, I think this Su Bai just got a cold, just boil some medicine and he'll be fine. I'll go to the doctor now, where is it?"

This is what worries Wang Sang the most, because there is no decent doctor in Qingshui Village. "The nearest one is also in Shihe Village, we don't have any here either."

Su Yu continued to ask: "Is Shihe Village closer to here, or is the town closer?"

"Shihe Village is closer, as long as you cross the small hill to the west of the village..."

"Then I'll go get medicine for Su Bai now." Su Yu walked towards the door before picking off the hands.

"You come back first, Dayu! It's so late!" Wang Sang said while pulling Su Yu.

"It's okay, mother," Su Yu smiled weakly again, "I'm not afraid of the dark, and this is a matter of human life, so there is no delay at all. I'll go now, and I'll be back in the middle of the night."

But Su Guan said uneasy: "I'll go. I heard that there are wolves here recently. You are a child, and you can't subdue this thing. You can stay at home with your mother. Just come back."

"Father, wait a minute. I'll be with you. Multiple people will take care of me. Even if I meet a wolf, I'll have more hope of surviving. Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble!" Su Yu still insisted So Wang Sang stayed at home to take care of the two children.

"I was supposed to take Su Bai to show the doctor, but it's so late now, I can't take him to walk the mountain road at all. I'll work hard for you to order Dayu, and be careful along the way." Wang Sang knew that Su Gu'an was there, Nothing will happen to Su Yu, so he nodded in reassurance.

"Then let's go first." Su Yu agreed with the others, and then took another look at the dying child lying on the kang, and went out without looking back.

Su Gu'an also took out a spear from the shed and put it in his hand, and stuck a short knife in his waist, and then went out with Su Yu.

It was only a few words, and the sky was completely dark.Su Yu doesn't feel horrible about the dark night, but thinks it's good that it can cover up all the darkness.It's just that tonight she doesn't like the dark night at all, because of this dark night, what can I do if the best time to see Su Bai is delayed.

"Dayu, come closer to me, or you can go home directly, I can do it by myself." The two walked on the mountain road with one foot deep and one foot shallow, the mountain is not high, It's not very steep either. If the two of them are walking now, they will be able to walk there in a quarter of an hour.

"It's okay, dad, don't worry about me, I'm going much faster than you." After that, Su Yu deliberately speeded up, and even overtook Su Guan.But how big is this Su Guan? He is still a man, and he is not far behind Su Yu.

"Father, don't worry." Su Yu knew that Su Gu'an was very anxious now, so he couldn't help comforting him: "When we get there, we'll just grab the medicine and go back. When we get back, we'll boil the medicine for Su Bai. He will definitely be there soon." It will be fine." The wind was blowing, and the temperature at night was higher than that of the day. It wasn't 01:30, and Su Yudong's teeth were chattering.

Su Gu'an nodded in the back, stepped forward to gather clothes for Su Yu, and took off his hat to put on for Su Yu.

"Father, you can wear it yourself, it's so cold." But even though Su Yu refused, Su Gu'an still insisted on covering Su Yu tightly.

"Your younger brother is sick from the cold, don't you get sick too, your mother and your sister will have to take care of you when the time comes, so put it on quickly." Su Gu'an put the hat on Su Yu's head, and directly They all covered Su Yu's eyes.

"Haha... let's go quickly..." Su Yu said with a smile, and the worry about Su Bai eased a lot.

Suddenly, Su Gu'an grabbed Su Yu who was about to move forward, and said vigilantly, "Don't go! It seems that something is coming this way."
