Chapter 486-487

Chapter 486: I just can’t sleep

Ergou opened the door shirtless and glanced at Taozi's door. Taozi's door was closed tightly. Then he glanced at the fire kang. His mother hadn't fallen asleep yet. She leaned on the kang and whispered something to Liu Maogen. He was afraid.

Jia Cailan was alarmed and did not dare to knock on Taozi's door. If her mother was alarmed, she would not be able to explain, so she returned to her own house.

Ergou was sitting on the Kang railing in a daze. The wounds were still in burning pain. If no medicine was applied, these wounds would heal more slowly, and they might become suppurative. Tomorrow he would have to look for the two things needed for home remedies.

, what to do?

Ergou glanced at the wooden wall. He had an idea. Ergou raised his uninjured arm and knocked twice on the wooden wall, then waited for Taozi's response. He had already sent the signal.

, but there was no sound of Taozi knocking on the wooden wall for him.

Ergou sat on the kang railing again, not to mention how uncomfortable he was, and went to knock on the wooden wall to get the purple potion in her room. Would Taozi suspect that he had other intentions? That's why she refused to pay attention to him. If so,

This was too embarrassing, and he regretted that he had just knocked on the wooden wall.

Just when Ergou knocked on the wooden wall, Taozi heard it very clearly. Those two slight sounds seemed to hit her heart. Taozi became nervous, thinking what was Ergou doing knocking on the wooden wall at this time? Yes

Didn't he mean that because he couldn't sleep at night? Taozi was in a mess. It was true that she liked Ergou, and it was true that she needed a man now. But if she really wanted to have that kind of thing with Ergou, she absolutely couldn't.

Taozi doesn't want to take care of Ergou anymore. Let him go and knock him. It will be boring if you ignore him. You must hold on to this matter. If you give him a good look, it will not be easy to deal with in the future.

.

Taozi lay there and wanted to force herself to sleep, but she was still thinking about what happened just now, thinking that Ergou had been so good to her so much, how much would it hurt him if she ignored him now? He just had

I will tell him my thoughts in that regard slowly in the future. At least I shouldn't ignore him tonight, right?

After thinking about it, Taozi finally decided to talk to Ergou. First, she wanted to find out what he was thinking. If she really wanted to think about such shameless things, she could just ignore him. Taozi got off the kang after thinking of this.

When he reached the wooden wall, he raised his hand and knocked lightly three times.

Ergou was already frustrated over there and lay down on the kang to prepare for sleep. At this time, there was a very clear sound of knocking on the wooden wall. Ergou jumped up from the kang and stared at the wooden wall.

That's right, it was Taozi who was knocking on the wooden wall. He suddenly became excited, and the cloud in his heart disappeared instantly. He hurriedly got off the kang and leaned against the wooden wall.

Ergou raised his hand and knocked twice more, and Taozi responded three times. Ergou then knocked twice more, and there were three more sounds. Ergou was so excited that his heart almost jumped out, and Taozi finally

Ignore him. He and Tao Zi have had exciting moments together before, but this is the first time like tonight. The two of them are knocking on each other's wooden wall, feeling very exciting and excited.

Ergou called softly: "Sister-in-law, aren't you asleep yet?"

Taozi paused and said, "No, why don't you sleep? What are you doing knocking on the wall?"

Ergou touched his hand on the wooden wall. He knew that Taozi was over there, separated from him by only two centimeters of wooden wall, and said excitedly: "Sister-in-law, I can't sleep."

Taozi thought about what he meant. Was he thinking about her when he couldn't sleep? If so, it would be troublesome in the future, but he was still very excited, just like the feeling of being with his first lover, a

A look, an action, a word, even a sneeze can touch the other person's heart.

Taozi said gently: "Ergou, what are you thinking about?"

At this time, Ergou's heart felt like a honey pot had been overturned, and he was bleeding all over his body. He originally wanted to say that I was thinking of you, but he was afraid that Taozi wouldn't be able to accept it, so he frightened her with just one sentence.

He said gently: "I didn't think about anything. I fell into the ditch today and was bruised. I remembered that there was half a bottle of purple potion in your room, so I wanted to come over."

Taozi became anxious now and forgot to lower her voice and said: "Er Gou? Is it important? Just wait a moment, I will send you the purple potion right now."

Then Ergou heard the sound of Taozi rummaging through things on her side, hitting everything on the ground. After a while, Taozi opened her door and came to Ergou.

In such a hurry, she forgot that Jia Cailan was still on the kang. She was most concerned about Ergou now, so she didn't need to pay attention to Jia Cailan.

Taozi opened the door of Ergou's room, holding the half bottle of purple potion tightly in her hand, and said towards the wooden wall: "Ergou, where are you injured? Quickly let me see."

Taozi forgot that she could no longer see, so she said this in a hurry, and then said: "Lie down quickly and let me apply medicine to you."

Ergou stood there, seeing Taozi caring about him so much, and his eyes were wet with emotion. With Taozi's words, what else could he be dissatisfied with? Taozi still has him in her heart, he thought.

He felt that the things he had done for Tao Zi in the past were worth it.

Ergou looked at Taozi with a smile and whispered: "Sister-in-law, I just scratched a little bit of skin, apply some medicine and it will be fine. Don't worry, it will be fine in two days."

Tao Zi now said like a big sister lecturing her younger brother: "Er Gou, what do you do all day? Why are you so careless? How can such a big person fall into a ditch?"

Ergou laughed twice and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm really fine, let me apply the potion."

Ergou took the potion bottle from Taozi's hand, sat down by the kang, and applied the potion on his wound. As soon as the potion reached the wound, it caused excruciating pain, but he did not dare to make a sound, fearing that Taozi would hear it and worry about him.

, gritted his teeth and applied the medicine to several wounds on his upper body.

When it was time to paint the lower part, Ergou was a little embarrassed. He had to take off his pants to apply the wounds on the lower part, but Taozi was still standing beside him. Although he couldn't see those big eyes, they were facing his direction. Ergou

I'm too embarrassed to return my pants.

Ergou said embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, it's okay. You can go and sleep."

Taozi didn't move and said, "I'll be there when you finish applying it. Just apply it. I'll be waiting for you."

Ergou hesitated for a moment, and said to himself that you can't see it anyway, so just take off your pants. If I don't tell you, you won't know that I took off my pants.

He slowly took off his pants and sat on the kang, preparing to apply medicine to several wounds such as his thighs and knees. At first, he was just applying medicine without any distractions, but in the end he caught a glimpse of Tao Zi standing next to him.

, the thing between his legs moved desperately a few times, and then stood up stubbornly.

Taozi whispered: "How are you, Ergou? Are you seriously injured?"

Ergou looked at Taozi. What hurt him now was not the wound, but his heart. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, there are a few cuts."

###Chapter 487: Difficult riddle (1)

Taozi couldn't see Ergou like this, otherwise she would be so shy that she would have no place to hide, and said: "Okay, don't run around tomorrow, have a good rest for a few days, heal your injuries first, and go to bed early.

, I passed."

Ergou said: "Oh, that's good, you go to bed early too."

Taozi walked to the door, remembered something, pointed at the wooden wall, then left Ergou's room and went back to her room.

Jia Cailan, who was in the outer room, had not fallen asleep. She had seen Taozi when she entered Ergou's room just now. She looked at Taozi in shock, wondering what she was doing when she went into Ergou's room. Finally, she saw that the door of Ergou's room was not closed.

, somewhat relieved, she finally listened to their conversation and understood the general idea, but her mind kept thinking that if two people stayed in the same room so late, something would happen if they were not careful.

It wasn't until Taozi left Ergou's room that Jia Cailan's heart lifted back into her throat, she sighed, and then she settled down and went to sleep.

As soon as Taozi left, Ergou's thing refused to go down. Ergou had no choice but to let it go. He was wondering what Taozi meant when he pointed at the wooden wall before leaving. This riddle was too difficult to guess.

, do you want him to knock on the wooden wall when he has something to do, or does it have other meanings?

Ergou slowly lay down, still thinking about what Taozi pointed at the wooden wall before leaving. If you can't guess, don't guess. It's okay to leave a suspense. Ergou put away his thoughts and prepared to go to bed. There will be more tomorrow.

There is work to be done, and we have to find a way to find the two things required in the folk remedy.

On the second day, Ergou struggled to get up from the kang. The wounds on his body last night were only a little painful, but now after sleeping all night, they did not relieve it, but became more severe. Even the slightest movement of the body hurt, but

These pains are nothing to Ergou, there are more important things waiting for him.

Ergou got up, found a bottle with a lid, picked up a small hoe and got ready to go out. Heizi stretched and was ready to follow Ergou out.

Jia Cailan saw it and asked, "What are you doing?"

Ergou said: "I'm looking for scorpions and snake spiders."

Jia Cailan said angrily: "You are stupid. These things only came out when the weather was hot. Now that it is so cold, those things have shrunk into the holes. Where are you going to find them? Don't go."

Ergou said: "No matter how deep they drill, I will dig them out. I'm leaving."

Jia Cailan muttered and said: "My soul has been seduced by someone in one day. How can it go on like this? Alas, I used to say that there was something wrong with the big dog, and now the second dog has a lot of problems. How can we live a life like this?"

die."

Ergou took the things and went out. He searched everywhere under the roots of the mountain and in the corners. As long as there was a small hole, he dug hard. He dug more than half a meter deep but could not find what he needed.

However, Ergou was not discouraged and continued to search. When the blind boy saw it, he came over and asked in confusion: "Ergou, what kind of treasure are you digging for?"

Ergou said, "I'm digging for scorpions and snake spiders. If you're fine now, can you help me dig them up?"

The blind boy smiled and said: "Ergou, are you out of your mind? Where can you find things now? I will help you find them in the summer. Alas, these two things are very valuable, right? How much can a scorpion be sold for?"

"

Ergou said: "If you can find these two things for me now, I will give you ten yuan each, how about it?"

The blind boy smiled and said, "You can give me fifty yuan for one, but I can't find it. Next summer, I'll find it for you, or what about this price?"

Ergou said angrily: "Go away, will I still need this thing next summer? That's why I gave you this price because it's hard to find it now. Don't bother me if it's okay."

The blind boy muttered something and left angrily. The two dogs continued to search and dug a lot of holes, but couldn't find even one. In the end, they had no choice but to follow Heizi back.

Ergou returned to the house. Taozi and Jia Cailan had already prepared the rice. He took a bowl of rice and ate it with his head down.

When Jia Cailan saw Ergou coming back empty-handed, she said, "You didn't dig it, did you? I told you that it's hard to find this thing now. You're so anxious, why can't you wait until next summer? The firewood in the peach garden hasn't been chopped yet. Is there any?"

Time to chop wood."

Taozi understood that Ergou was looking for scorpions and snake spiders for her folk remedies, and felt very grateful to him. She said, "Ergou, what our mother said is right. If you really can't find it, don't look for it. It's been so long."

Time has passed, let’s wait until next summer.”

Ergou didn't want to join Jia Cailan just now, but he had to accept Taozi's words, so he said, "I'll look for it after dinner. If I can't find it, I'll wait until next year."

Jia Cailan said dissatisfied: "You still want to go? Go to Taoyuan to work in the afternoon and don't do those shameless things."
