Lin Xixi quickly made two dishes, the leftover porridge from lunch, and the noodles to make pancakes, which were full of aroma.
The two children were starving today. Ever since she moved here, Lin Yuxi has been eating on time. One patient and two children cannot go hungry.
Seeing that Chen Zhongqian still looked unhappy, she sighed and gave him some food, "Eat more."
Normally, Chen Zhongqian would immediately pick up food for her with an embarrassed look on his face.
But today was different. Chen Zhongqian finished his meal quickly without raising his head. He also cleaned up the dishes and washed them himself, fetched water to wash the two children, and put them to bed.
Lin Yuxi went to the yard to sweep the floor, telling herself over and over again not to care, it was just good to live together and be happy. If someone makes you angry, just pretend you didn't see them and ignore them. The most important thing is to be happy yourself.
As a result, Chen Zhongqian finished cleaning up and was about to go back to the house, but Lin Joy rushed directly in front of him, "Hey, what are you angry about? Are you angry that I live in the same room with a man? Are you angry that I treat other men's illnesses?"
Chen Zhongqian said, "To me, doctors are the ones who treat illnesses and save people. Although you are my wife, I won't be angry if you are saving people."
Lin Xiyi clasped his hands, "Then why are you angry? Are you angry that I charged Wu Mazi so much for his consultation? Please, he doesn't care about our family's life and death at all. I even treated his injuries. It's not too much to cheat him out of a small sum of money."
Right? If you hadn’t brought it up with the dog, I wouldn’t believe that the arrow had escaped the jackal on its own.”
After being exposed, Chen Zhongqian felt a little embarrassed. If he had never said anything before, it was probably because Lin Yuxi was very honest and liked to explain everything clearly in person, so he was just like her.
"He's not a thing. It's not your fault if you treat his injuries."
"Then what are you angry about?" Lin Yuxi is a straight daughter. Even if she doesn't understand what the other person is angry about, she doesn't make blind guesses. If she doesn't understand, she just asks directly to avoid having trouble sleeping.
Chen Zhongqian turned his head and stared at her. Lin Yuxi felt a little guilty at the sight of him, and turned to look elsewhere, "What, what are you doing..."
"Why did you take the arrow and shoot it back? Do you know that if the black panther hadn't bitten Wu Mazi, maybe you would have shot him. Do you know what the consequences would be? We are not hunters. We don't even have the chance to defend ourselves in court.
None, but ordinary people use bows and arrows to hurt people. Is this an accident or murder?"
"Once you are convicted, do you know what the consequences will be? Prison, or..."
The more he talked, the angrier he became. Before she asked, he actually didn't understand what he was angry about. At this moment, he finally understood.
I'm angry at her for being reckless and reckless.
Being angry with her almost caused a disaster.
Of course, what makes her even more angry is that if something happens to her, and I have no way to save her, what will I do then?
Lin Joy understood something from his angry and panicked expression. Was this guy worried about her?
"Are you worried about me?" she leaned over and asked.
Chen Zhongqian took two steps back and said casually, "I'm worried about Xiaoyu Xiaoduo. I can't take care of them. If you risk yourself, I don't know how to take care of them."
"Oh, that's it, then you're worried about me, that's what I think." Lin Xixi smiled happily, "I'm just angry, why should we be angry like this? I'm just retaliating with tooth, I'm impulsive
I did it a little bit, I promise, I won’t do it again in the future.”
Chen Zhongqian sighed, "You shouldn't involve yourself in a tooth for a tooth. If a dog bites you, do you have to bite it back?"
"Call back."
Chen Zhongqian looked like a coward and nodded, "Don't do this again... in the future."
Lin Xixi smiled and took the initiative to hold his arm, "Okay, I promise you, it's getting late, go to bed quickly, I'll make the bed for you, Wu Mazi has slept in it, and I'll give you a new one. It'll be nice after washing."
The fragrant kind, wait."
She went to make the bed happily, but she didn't notice Chen Zhongqian standing by the door, his face red to the ears again.
The news that a leopard came to the village last night spread throughout the village the next day. Everyone talked about it as if they had seen it with their own eyes. However, only a dozen people were present last night, and the leopard family had already left by that time.
.
To be precise, apart from Lin Yuxi's family, only Wu Mazi has seen it, and he was still being played by the black panther, so he probably didn't even see clearly, right?
Lin Yuxi didn't know if the Black Panther family would come back. They had only been away for one night, but they were already thinking too much. It was too easy to cultivate feelings.
She went to the town early in the morning and sold the jackal for several large taels of silver because the fur was good. After the sale, she hurried back home.
The sun has been very strong these days. When she is not going up the mountain to collect herbs, she will wash her clothes and wash and dry all the thick winter clothes. Chen Zhongqian's body is getting better and he doesn't even wear such thick clothes anymore.
It's so gratifying.
Since it was too far from the well and it was too troublesome to carry water, Lin Yuxi simply carried his clothes on his back and went to the river to wash himself.
Xiaoyu Xiaoduo was clamoring to follow. Lin Xixi was about to say that he couldn't take care of the laundry because he was afraid they would fall into the water, but Chen Zhongqian took the wooden basin and said, "I'll go too."
This was the first time for a family of four to travel at the same time after living together. Lin Yuxi felt inexplicably in a good mood. She washed clothes and felt like a spring outing, even though it was already May.
When they arrived at the river, a crowd of people had gathered there. They were all talking about the black panther that appeared on the mountainside last night. They talked about it with noses and eyes, and they all found it funny.
Seeing them coming, a woman hurriedly said, "Joy, that leopard is wandering near your house. Don't you usually notice it? This is too scary. The house you live in is so dilapidated. If the leopard gets in,
What should I do if the two children are taken away from the house?"
"Yes, yes, your Aunt Chunhua is right. You should just keep your head down with your family and move back in. Anyway, Zhong Qian is gradually getting better. He is not a tuberculosis and he is not afraid of trouble."
Lin Xixi turned around and asked Xiaoyu Xiaoduo, "Do you two want to go back to live with Grandpa and the others?"
On a hot day, the two children were frightened. Lin Yuxi touched their heads and said, "Don't worry, I will never go back. It's better to be eaten by a leopard than by others."
She found a place to wash her clothes, and everyone talked about the leopard again. It looked like this topic would be discussed in the village for a long time.
"This morning Mrs. Li met Mr. Yang, and she scolded her so unpleasantly. It seemed that Ms. Yang said she saw a leopard, so Wu Mazi went hunting. Who knew he was not hunting, but he injured himself like that."
"That seems to be the case. I heard that Mrs. Yang asked Wu Mazi for money. Mrs. Li scolded her this morning and told her to spit out the money and pay for the soup and medicine."
No one here knew how much Lin Yuxi paid Wu Mazi last night, and Wu Mazi was embarrassed to tell anyone. If they knew, people would swarm around Lin Yuxi, trying to get some benefits from her.
