Back to the Countryside

He left He Zhen's house, put the cloth bag in his house, and took the bucket from the stove and went out.

It was dark outside at this moment, and people in the village seldom wandered outside at this time, and there was no one on the road. He carried the bucket all the way to the side of the well in the village. Fortunately, the moonlight is brighter today. Can still see clearly.

He put down the bucket, reached out to hold the handle of the shaft of Inoue, and shook the bucket down. The sound of the wooden shaft "creaking" was particularly pronounced in the quiet environment.

Hearing the sound of water entering, He Ling changed directions and shook up. The bucket filled with water became heavier, and his speed slowed down a bit.

"He Ling?"

Someone behind him called his name. He stopped his hands and turned his head to look. The man was a little far away and he couldn't see his face clearly. The man walked over to him and only when he got closer did He Ling recognize it, "Lin Sheng Brother?"

Lin Sheng walked to him. He just went to Wang Tiesheng's house in the village. After talking for a long time, he quickened his pace and walked home. Unexpectedly, he saw someone fetching water by the well in the village. Carrying water at this time?"

"If there is no water at home, just come out and pick something!" He Ling grinned reluctantly at him, and then continued the movement.

"Okay, you are being bullied again!" As he got closer, Lin Sheng also saw the red slap marks on his face. He shook his head and reached out to lift the bucket that had reached the edge of the well. , Poured the water into He Ling's own bucket, "That family is really a bunch of hard-hearted people!"

"Brother Lin Sheng, I'll do it myself!" Seeing Lin Sheng hung the bucket back on the rope and reached out to grasp the handle, He Ling quickly rejected it.

"You just stay here. I can only do two or three things. You have to shake it for a long time!" Lin Sheng pushed him away to prevent him from getting started. Although you have raised you, you should pay it back all these years as a cow and a horse. You don't owe them anything!"

"I'm fine." He Ling lowered his head, sometimes he would think the same way, but after all, it was his father's relatives. If he had resentment in his heart, would he be sad in the sky?

"Let's go, I'll take you back!" The two buckets of water were full, and Lin Sheng directly put it on his shoulders.

"Brother Lin Sheng, you can just help me fetch water, but let me do it myself!" It was so late, and he couldn't make it easy if he delayed Lin Sheng's return home.

Lin Sheng ignored the hand he stretched out, and directly carried the water and walked forward, "Calling my big brother will not make you call it in vain. Don’t worry, I’ll give it to you at your door. I won’t let your family know. of!"

He Ling had no choice but to walk behind him.

Fortunately, everyone in the family was in the house and no one was shaking in the yard. Lin Sheng put the water in front of his house and left.

He Ling took the water back to the stove and boiled the bath water for He Zhen. He waited to clean up the mess before he returned to the room, took out the cloth bag He Zhen gave him, rubbed it and felt a little dizzy. Head, start embroidering work stitch by stitch.

When the door was slammed, Qi Yue was drinking tea and chatting with Lin Sheng in the hall. He asked Lin Sheng to continue sitting and went out to open the door.

The person standing outside the door was Wu Yulan, so he said why someone came to him and didn't know the people in the village. "Why did my sister-in-law come here? Come in, Brother Lin is here too!"

"I know, I'm here to find him!" Wu Yulan smiled at him, and followed him in.

When the two arrived at the hall, Lin Sheng was a little surprised when he saw his daughter-in-law, "Why are you here?"

Qi Yue asked Wu Yulan to sit down and poured a cup of tea in front of her. She thanked him, took the tea and took a sip, then said: "Did you see He Ling yesterday?"

Hearing the familiar name, Qi Yue held the teacup hand for a while, then put it on his lips calmly and took a sip, then put the cup back on the table.

"Yes, I came back from Tie Sheng's house yesterday, and saw him drawing water by the well alone on the road, with a black lamp blazing, so I helped!" After speaking, Lin Sheng seemed to have thought of something, and said hurriedly: " What's wrong? You don't think anything wrong, do you?"

"How can it be, I guessed it!" Wu Yulan took another sip of tea, her face was a little angry, "but it's unavoidable for others to think and chew their tongues!"

Today, Wu Yulan, as usual, brought unfinished clothes, gathered with the women in the village to do work, and talked about the housework by the way.

But everyone looked at her with weird eyes, and they all talked about "how good a man is when he thinks about outsiders" and "good-looking people will seduce people." After hearing these words, she was in the mist, and after asking a few more questions, some people hesitated and told him that someone saw his family Lin Sheng walking with He Ling together last night, they looked very close!

Wu Yulan's face is a bit ugly right now, it's not that she suspects Lin Sheng, what her own man is like, she knows in her heart, she is angry with those who make false claims, and she just talks about things without a head and is not afraid of rotten. Tongue!

"Huh?! How can you talk nonsense?! Isn't it just a bad reputation!" Lin Sheng listened to Wu Yulan's words and slapped the table angrily. This kind of thing is nothing to him, but to an unmarried person. Brother is different!

Qi Yue's fingers rubbed lightly on the rim of the cup, his eyes drooping and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Isn't it!" Wu Yulan was also annoyed. His man was obviously kind, but he was rumored to be unbearable. It was really annoying!

Lin Sheng looked at Qi Yue, who had never spoken, and gave a wry smile, "Now I let Brother Qi see a joke!"

"Where!" Qi Yue removed his hand from the cup and smiled at him. "The gossips are just people who have a dirty heart. The clear one should be clear, and you don't need to care too much about others!"

"Hahaha... what Brother Qi said is to my appetite!" Lin Sheng smiled heartily, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

Qian slapped He Ling's face, and his cheeks immediately became red and swollen.

"You really give me a long face. It's not good to seduce who is not good. Go and seduce that Lin Sheng!" After the Qian had beaten him, he felt a little fire in his heart. He sat down on a stool and took a drink of what Zheng had made for her. syrup.

"That is, if you seduce a landlord or something, you can still exchange some money for the house!" He Gui gave him a blank look.

He Ling closed his eyes, resisting the uncomfortable dizziness of his head, and explained in a low voice, "Brother Lin Sheng is just passing by, do me a favor."

"Passing by? Help?" He Zhen let out a sneer, "Usually I picked up something and walked in the village and met him. I didn't see him so kindly to help!"

Because Lin Sheng didn't wait to see him such a thing, He Ling couldn't say it anyway, and he couldn't refute him.

"I think it was the appointment you made in advance!" Qian put the bowl in his hand back on the wooden table, shaking the whole table.

"Okay, don't smash the bowl, it was bought with money!" He Tian yelled at her annoyedly, and then stared at He Ling without saying a word, "You are worthless, and expect him to marry you. Don't make a small thing?! Quickly cut it off for me!"

"It's not like this!" He Ling's head became more and more dizzy, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and his vision became a little fuzzy, "I am not like Lin Sheng..."

"Dare to talk back!" Qian slapped the table and pointed at him again, cursing again, "Is it okay for a man with a black lamp and a brother to stay alone together? It really has a fox face, and it's messy..."

He Ling couldn't hear a word of what Qian sweared behind. He only felt that his head was getting heavier and heavier. Then, when his eyes went dark, he didn't know anything.

"Ah!" Zheng cried out subconsciously when he was startled by the sudden fall of He Ling.

He Ling gave in a step back, fearing that his fallen body would touch him, and slapped the dust with disgust.

Qian stopped his mouth, put down the hand pointing at him, walked to him and kicked him in the leg, "Don't pretend to be dead!"

He Ling closed his eyes tightly and lay on the ground with a pale face and motionless.

Qian frowned, knelt down and probed his forehead, feeling a little hot, "It's useless, it's fever again!"

He Ling was not full-term when he was born, and his bones were not good since he was a child. Things like fever and falling down happened frequently, and they didn't think it was a big deal.

"Agui, you go get old man Li and prescribe two pills, don't let him die at home, it doesn't sound good!" He Tian didn't move his **** from the stool, only waved at He Gui lightly.

"Father, I saw Old Man Li taking Zhao’s bullock cart to town today, I am afraid I haven’t come back yet!" Old Man Li did go to town, but He Gui felt completely indifferent in his heart. It is necessary to ask a doctor to see it, it is costly, maybe he can do it on his own.

He Tian didn’t speak. There was just such a doctor in this village. He was gone and no one was there. He couldn’t take it to the town to see. How much money would it cost, but people just burned it through. This has a reputation in the village. It's ugly, death and harsh treatment are two different things.

However, Zheng's eyes rolled, as if thinking of something, she said: "Father, mother, I met Sun Carpenter's daughter-in-law some time ago. I heard that Qi Yue had ordered a medicine cabinet in their house and said that she would Some medical skills, otherwise we invite him to come and see?"

He Zhen's attention was drawn when he heard the name of his sweetheart, knowing that he could still practice medicine, and she was very proud of her. She deserved to be the man he liked, so capable.

After He Tian listened to her, he didn't think much, and waved to He Gui, "Then Agui, you go..."

"His father, wait!" He was interrupted by Qian before he finished speaking. She patted He Zhen's hand and said, "Let Zhen brother go!"

As soon as she spoke, He Zhen understood what she meant, his cheeks were stained with red clouds, and his head bowed shyly.

He Tian looked at him twice, and it became clear in his heart. Without saying anything, he waved his hand.
