Chapter 9 Going up the mountain to collect medicine
After applying the medicinal wine, Lu Nan glanced at Ning Xi, "I want me to help you wipe the front?"
"I have my own hands." Ning Xi hurriedly grabbed the ointment and applied the medicine.
"A twisted child." He gently curled his lips, wiped his hands and lay down beside her.
"You are just a child, your whole family is a child." She was married and was eaten up by him last night. He actually had the face to say that she was a child, bah!
"Haha!" His eyes narrowed slightly, and a laugh came from the depths of his throat.
Damn stinky man, he actually has the face to smile.
He raised his hand and patted her head in fear, "My whole family includes you, so you are a child." "Your whole family does not include me." After she got married, Ning Dalong couldn't wait to separate her account. At that time, Lu Nan did not ask to put her account on his household registration book, and her account became a single household.
"Not including you, what are you doing when you lie next to me?"
She rolled her eyes, "I'm thick-skinned, I'm shameless, I'm OK!"
Lu Nan picked up the fan, turned to her side, and fanned her one after another, "I didn't mean to scold you in the afternoon, but I just saw that you were so hot, and I thought that you were covered in wounds, and I felt unhappy."
He actually explained to her!!!
It shouldn't be.
This is not in line with the norm.
"You said you really want to see the threshold and you should not hurt your body. Wait until you get cooler and go to see it."
Ning Xi still felt wronged, "I'm afraid you're inconvenient to get in and out, and there's something wrong with you."
"You are right, I am wrong. I shouldn't scold you or take a wheelchair."
Ning Xi's heart hurt a little. He was not in a wheelchair, and the person lying beside her is not her anymore.
he……
Maybe I still regret not being able to marry Ning Hong into the house!
"It's very late, go to bed!" Lu Nan gently put his hand on her waist, and lifted his fan from time to time to fan the fan a few times.
Ning Xi opened her eyes and looked at the dusty wall, thinking that Lu Nan could not fall asleep.
In his previous life, after she divorced him, he spent most of his life alone and secretly visited her every year.
She thought he couldn't let her go.
Now it seems that this is not the case.
Whether it is her past or present life, is she just being self-indulgent?
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The water vapor in the early morning of the mountains is very heavy, with the unique earthy smell and the smell of grass.
It was about to be dawn, and the barking of dogs and chickens in the village woke up the sleeping people.
She slowly opened her eyes and the people around her were gone. She blinked and looked around. If everything in front of her was not too familiar, she would have thought that everything yesterday was just a dream.
After lying for a while, he got out of bed lazily, pushed open the door and stepped into the yard.
It was not dawn outside, and a grand fog filled the world. The mountains, trees and houses in the distance were all hidden in the thick fog.
In her previous life, she lived in a city without smoke in the next seven years. Now when she saw this scene again, she suddenly realized that it was so beautiful.
No matter how beautiful the scenery is, she has no extra time to appreciate it. Today she wants to go up the mountain to pick some herbs, which can be kept if you can use it, and you can take it to the town for some money.
"Get up, go wash and have breakfast." Lu Nan appeared from the thick fog. He seemed to be unhappy and had insomnia last night?
"Yeah!" Ning Xi responded, walked to the well and threw it into the well. She pulled up a bucket of water and washed it.
Lu Nan cooked sorghum porridge, steamed buns, and picked up a plate of pickles. The sorghum porridge had already been put into a bowl, and even the chopsticks were arranged.
"I also added red beans, mung beans, and peanuts." Ning Xi exclaimed. People in this era are just making porridge. They don't know that they can add various vegetables, meat, and beans to the porridge. Why did Lu Nan suddenly think about adding red beans to the porridge?
"When I was in the army, I always did this in the cafeteria, and I added it at home as well." Lu Nan responded lightly, and the man had already come to the table to pick up a steamed bun and take a bite.
Ning Xi lowered her head and took a sip of warm sorghum porridge, and squinted her eyes comfortably, "It's much better than white porridge."
"I like it, I'll make porridge like this in the future." Lu Nan smiled across his face. Because it was too fast, Ning Xi didn't have time to catch it.
Ning Xi took a bite of the steamed bun and replied vaguely, "Well! Isn't our backyard a lot of vegetables and leaves? Add the vegetables to the porridge another day, and maybe it's delicious."
"Okay." Lu Nan replied in a low voice.
"I'm going to go around the mountains later."
Lu Nan nodded and said he knew. Ning Xi was a person who couldn't sit still and could not stay at home. It was a blessing that she could say hello to him today.
After dinner, at Lu Nan's insistence, he applied medicine and applied medicinal wine. Ning Xi put a few steamed buns on his back and prepared to go out. "I probably won't come back at noon."
The air in the mountains is wet than the top and bottom. The weeds between the paths in the mountains are full of water vapor. It has wet Ning Xi's trousers without going far.
Her legs were walking very slowly, and her legs, which were already a little painful, became even more painful after Lu Nan rubbed the medicinal wine hard.
The mountain behind Shanghe Village is an undeveloped primitive forest. In addition to the villagers who occasionally go up the mountain to chop wood, and the village's traditional Chinese medicine doctor Grandpa Yang will look for herbs on the mountain from time to time, few people have no one along the way to go up the mountain.
I didn't even see the shadow of herbs along the way, and it must have been picked by Grandpa Yang.
Grandpa Yang was old and did not dare to deviate from the path, but only dared to circumvent the path to look for herbs. She looked for Grandpa Yang's footsteps, but she definitely couldn't find the grass. In order to pick herbs, she deviated from the path up the mountain and walked towards the uninvolved hillside.
Finally, she found a thunder vine, hurriedly grabbed the trunk and moved it carefully. Before she could get close to the thunder vine, she found several more coptis chinensis.
He raised his hand to wipe the sweat. Ning Xi narrowed his eyes and rested for a while, rubbed his slight aches, and continued to look for herbs around him.
Grandpa Yang probably hasn't been to these places. There are many herbs around. She squatted on the ground to harvest herbs. After a while, she piled up a seat and continued to dig.
Ning Xi stayed there all day, and she didn't stand up and walk down the mountain until thick fog was filled with the ravine.
I didn't care about the pain in my legs and speeded up my pace. I had to find a path down the mountain in front of the thick fog. The path was stepped on by everyone with one footprint. It was not flat but it was also considered a road. Will there be a big pit or bulge appear in other places? It would be fine if you can see it during the day, but it would be difficult to see the road when it fog started. If you didn't pay attention and fall into the pit, it would be troublesome.
Finally, before the thick fog covered the mountains, she found the path down the mountain and walked carefully down the path.
Because the fog was too strong, she walked very slowly. When she walked down the mountain, it was already dark and she became a water man herself, with water droplets on her hair, face, and clothes.
