Not long after applying the mugwort juice, the itching symptoms were indeed relieved, but old man Shu still felt itchy all over his body. He was afraid that he really had the disease and transmitted it to his wife and children at home, so he hugged the quilt and ran to sleep with the donkey.
Early the next morning, the village chief gathered a basket of grass to feed the donkey. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of a man's head, and he was so frightened that both the man and the basket flew away.
Old Shu was struck by a pile of straw in his pocket, and he woke up with a jolt.
The two old men looked at each other, one looked confused, and the other gritted his teeth and wanted to hit him.
"You don't want to sleep on the nice straw mat over there, but you insist on sleeping with the donkey here. Shu Guangzong, are you okay?"
Old man Shu touched his belly and back in a daze. Hey, all the swelling from last night was gone!
"It's okay! Great, I'm okay!!!"
Old man Shu jumped up from the ground happily, hugged the village chief's neck and hugged him hard, then rolled up the quilt and said "I'm fine" while looking around for his wife.
The village chief who stayed where he was looked at his crazy back, and everyone was dumbfounded. Isn't this guy driven crazy by his wife last night to sleep with a donkey? He couldn't stand the excitement and went crazy?
No, this is not conducive to the harmony of the whole village. He will have to talk to his third wife later.
He did what he said, and after feeding the donkey, the village chief walked around Shu Laosan's stove with his hands behind his back, walking around and around, not knowing what to say.
Mrs. Shu saw his eyes darting wildly and his lips moving from time to time, as if he was hesitant to speak. She took out two freshly steamed crabs and handed them to him very considerately.
"If you want to eat it, just say so. It's just crab, not something valuable."
village head:"……"
Does he look like a beggar?
The village chief rubbed his face in embarrassment and said: "No crabs. Akihito's wife gave some to me yesterday and I ate them... I came here this time to talk to you..."
Before the word "Guangzong" was uttered, Guangzong himself appeared in front of the two of them with a smile.
Shu Guangzong was very excited after confirming that he was not sick. He seemed to have endless strength in his body. When he saw that Mrs. Shu was cooking with a spatula, he reached out and snatched the spatula away.
"I'll cook the food, and you can catch up on your sleep. You didn't sleep well last night because of me, so how can I ask you to cook for me again?"
The village chief looked at his diligent and attentive appearance, and then thought about the silly way he jumped away from the donkey, and suddenly a burst of sadness came to his heart.
Life is not easy for the third child!
He patted Old Man Shu on the shoulder and said in a complicated tone: "Third brother, thank you for your hard work."
Old man Shu felt puzzled: "Huh? Why don't you just cook a meal? Why bother?"
The village chief sighed, "It's okay, as long as you are happy."
After saying that, he shook his head and left.
Alas, as the village chief, he sympathized with Shu Guangzong's experience, but was powerless.
Who makes him happy?
Old man Shu scratched his head in confusion, turned around and asked his wife: "What's wrong with him?"
Mrs. Shu shook her head: "I don't know, maybe I didn't wake up."
"Ignore him, go back to sleep, hurry up, or you won't be able to sleep until Qingsong and the others wake up."
Old Man Shu waved his hand to her and sat in front of the stove.
The old lady looked at him worriedly, "Are you sure you're okay?"
"My body no longer itch, my head doesn't hurt anymore, I just feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, but it's not a big problem." Old man Shu grinned with a bright smile.
"Look at you smiling so stupidly." Mrs. Shu gave him an angry look, and while walking slowly towards the donkey cart, she muttered: "If your stomach feels uncomfortable, don't eat crabs. I'll make you a brown sugar and egg hotpot alone."
Warm your tummy.”
Old Man Shu felt happy and smiled even more happily, "Get a few more eggs and let the children eat some too."
"Do you still need to remind me?" Mrs. Shu glared at him again.
Old Man Shu laughed: "Yes, yes, I'm talking too much."

Crossing the big river in front of us and heading south, it can be said to be a smooth journey.
There is no risk of water shortage, there is no need to take detours to find water, and the journey is naturally shortened.
In addition, Yanyan was a lucky star. When passing by the mountains, everyone went up to dig wild vegetables and hunt pheasants and rabbits. When they encountered a river, everyone used Old Man Tang's fishing net to catch some fish.
I accidentally lived a happy life of chicken and fish.
After half a month, this group of people not only did not continue to lose weight under the ravages of wind and sun, but each one of them had a red face and a slight tendency of weight expansion.
And Yan Yan has been promoted from the treasure of Shu Laosan's family to the treasure of the whole village. Whichever family finds something good, the first thing to do is to give points to Yan Yan. All day long, Yan Yan is long and Yan Yan is short.
.
This made Mrs. Shu think that everyone was trying to steal her granddaughter when she saw her. She often hugged Yan Yan and refused to let go. She also specially spread anti-abduction knowledge to her, focusing on Zhang, whose eyes lit up every time she saw Yan Yan.
The old lady took it out and criticized it.
It was also a coincidence that Mrs. Zhang happened to pass by and listened. Good guy, no wonder no matter how she tries to please her, Xiaotuanzi always gets scared when he sees her and wants to hide. It turns out that it is the old rogue who is causing trouble behind her!
Mrs. Zhang rolled up her sleeves and was about to make gestures with her when Yan Yan suddenly spoke:
"Grandma, actually I think Grandma Zhang is not particularly bad. She secretly gave me something to eat."
Mrs. Zhang was very moved when she heard this. She said that hard work will always be rewarded. This child Yanyan is so good and so annoying. She is 10,000 times better than the old rogue!
Now it was Mrs. Shu's turn to be curious, "Since you don't think she is particularly bad, why are you afraid every time you see her?"
Yes, why do you hide from her every time you see her?
Mrs. Zhang has wanted to ask this question for a long time.
Yan Yan clutched the corner of her clothes and explained in an embarrassed whisper: "Because Yan Yan thinks she looks like her eldest aunt. The eldest aunt is fierce and always beats Yan Yan."
Old Mrs. Shu's heart ached suddenly. How many sins had her poor granddaughter committed that she could not forget that vicious woman now?
"Yan Yan, grandma promises you that no one will dare to bully you again. If anyone dares to lay a finger on you, grandma will fight him to the death!"
Mrs. Shu hugged the little dumpling in front of her tightly and said firmly.
Mrs. Zhang on the side was not happy either. She had been thinking hard these days and came up with many reasons why Yan Yan didn’t like her, but she didn’t think it was because of this face!
The old woman tugged at the old skin on her face anxiously and angrily. It’s okay not to have this old face!
The next time she meets Xiaotuanzi, she must put on a headscarf and wrap it tightly so that her eyes can be left open!
After returning home, Mrs. Zhang immediately took out an unworn tattered gown, picked up the scissors and cut it, until she transformed it into a hood with only two holes.
Putting on the headgear, Mrs. Zhang quickly felt confident and prepared to find Yanyan to test the effect.
Never thought that he would turn around and meet his unlucky son Shu Dahu.
The child was sleeping in a daze. When he looked up and saw a monster with black head and black face, he screamed "Ah" and became paralyzed with fear. The urine he had been holding back in his belly was dripping down his trousers.
Shu Yaozu turned his head following the sound, and was frightened by the monster that suddenly jumped out. His tongue was stiff and unable to make a sound for a while, and he kept opening his mouth: "Ah...ah..."
