Lin Laosan and others rushed to the kitchen following the shouts.
What caught the eye was Hu Er and three people huddled together, like three quails fished out of the lake, shivering and looking pale.
Hu Er's nose was so cold that his nose was hanging on his chin, and his hesitant eyes burst into light the moment he saw Cao Tongguang.
"Why did you come here? If I were a moment later, I would have been frozen to death."
Uncle and Aunt Hu Er's clothes had already been soaked and were shaking like chaff. When they saw the visitors, their first reaction was not to thank them for coming to rescue despite the rain. Instead, they blamed the group for moving too slowly, causing them to soak in the rain for two days. hour.
"Why are your hands and feet so slow at such a young age!"
The young men in the team immediately became embarrassed when they heard the sound.
"Hu family, don't know good from evil! We didn't come here to listen to your complaints at the risk of our lives. Do you think we are willing to go down the mountain? If it weren't for the sake of the whole village, you would have been drowned today. No, what does it have to do with us!"
Uncle and Aunt Hu choked, looked at each other, and closed their mouths. For fear of offending a few people by saying more, they turned around and threw them into the flood.
Remembering his previous plan, Hu Er tugged at his uncle's and aunt's wet clothes.
The two people who were so arrogant just now immediately changed their states. One held his head and cried out that it hurt, and the other held his chest and said that it was tight.
As he spoke, Uncle Hu closed his eyes and fainted directly on his mother-in-law.
Aunt Hu, who was originally planning to lie down, immediately changed her direction and leaned her back against the wall, "Ouch, oops" and screamed in pain.
The scene in front of them confused Lin Laosan and others.
He wanted to step forward to check, but was slapped away by Hu Eryi.
"You don't understand medical skills, so what are you looking at! If you are old and have been soaked in water for such a long time, you will definitely get sick! Why don't you send my uncle and aunt to the mountain to treat Dr. Lin?"
After finally carrying the people up the mountain, Mrs. Lin took a pulse, and the three of them did get a moderate cold.
But it was not to the point of fainting and being unable to walk.
Mrs. Lin applied acupuncture, but the other party didn't react at all.
Hu Er insisted that the two elders were seriously ill and their lives were at stake. They needed to lie down and rest. It was best to live directly in the Lin family's house to facilitate diagnosis and treatment.
Uncle Hu was unconscious and pale from beginning to end, which really scared many people.
Although the people in the village didn't like the way the Hu family behaved, they felt uncomfortable if they really had to watch the Hu family die of illness.
Seeing the hesitant looks in everyone's eyes, the Lin family knew that Hu Er's family had to live with them!
At this time, there was a white fish belly in the east, and it had been raining all night, with a tendency to stop.
The big ox was led out of the stone house by Tianji, found a piece of grass and let it graze.
Hu Er found a place to lie down comfortably, ignoring his discomfort and just wanted to have a good sleep.
Just as he was about to close his eyes, he suddenly saw a small figure standing next to his uncle. He took a closer look and saw that it was the Lin family's little granddaughter.
In his hand, he held a silver needle as long as his index finger. The tip of the needle was more than three or four times thicker than an ordinary needle.
Before he could figure out what the other party wanted to do, the silver needle pierced Uncle Hu's head fiercely.
I saw the body lying on the ground, shaking violently twice, and the fists on the sides were clenched tightly, and the veins on the back of the hands were about to pop out.
He was stunned and silent.
Hu Er's back felt cold, and he was extremely glad that it was not him who was pretending to be sick.
I couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for my uncle: You can still bear it, Laobangcai!
Seeing that the little girl saw that one needle was not enough, he injected two more needles. I wonder if he had seen it wrong, but each time the needle was inserted in the same position accurately.
Seeing Uncle Hu's trembling movements, he became more and more anxious. Aunt Hu, who sensed something was wrong with the old man, rushed forward and snatched the crime tool from Xiangyun's hand. Just as he was about to slap her, a shadow fell on her head.
Mrs. Zhang put her hands on her hips and weighed the kitchen knife in her hand with the other, staring at her fiercely.
Aunt Hu's raised palm immediately softened, she touched Xiangyun's braid and gritted her teeth.
"Good boy, you can't play with needles. It could kill someone if you don't do it."
Xiangyun grinned and said innocently: "If you are stabbed to death, my grandma will save you!"
Hu Er:......
Aunt Hu:...
The men of each family went out to find firewood and came back to make a fire and cook.
The women each set up a small iron pot and simply cooked some porridge for the whole family to eat.
The firewood was soaked in water and difficult to light. The villagers had no choice but to pull some unused rags to fuel the fire.
The Lin family's situation is better. In the corner of the stone house, there are several piles of firewood half as high as a person.
They were all picked up by Lin Laoer when he was tilling the fields and used to keep out the cold at night.
Uncle Hu, who had been holding his urine all morning, finally woke up when the smell of porridge wafted from Lin's house.
In order to be able to stay naturally, he was so tired this morning that he didn't dare to turn over when sleeping. He had to be careful not to snore at all times, for fear that he would be exposed if he accidentally pretended to faint.
What was even more annoying was the damn granddaughter of the Lin family. He almost went down to see his mother after being pricked with a few needles. The pain was so painful that his palms were broken!
At this moment, he couldn't care about anything else.
The Wu Zang Temple had rebelled long ago, and the "cuckoo" sound was like playing a drum. There was no water or rice for two days in a row, and he couldn't stand it for even a moment.
He sat up with a confused look on his face, pretending to be surprised and said: "Oh, why do you have the nerve to occupy your place? It's all because of my poor health. It must be due to the hunger and cold these past two days."
His eyes kept staring at the bowl of thin rice porridge in Zheng's hand, and he murmured in his heart.
The Lin family has hundreds of kilograms of food stored, and this is what they eat for lunch? The soup is so watery that it rolls around in the intestines and urinates out!
When the porridge was ready, the three members of the Hu family picked up the bowl and drank like a hungry tiger. They didn't care that the hot rice soup burned their throats, and the sound of slurping frightened the birds above them and flew away.
Watching, after drinking a bowl, Zhang stretched out his hand again, and slashed it with a kitchen knife, making the three of them pull back their hands suddenly in fright.
Mrs. Zhang: "I'm sorry, I saw some annoying flies."
Spring hasn't even come yet, it's cold and freezing, and flies are nowhere to be seen.
As soon as I heard it, I knew that I was cursing them in a roundabout way!
Mrs. Lin glanced at them: "Now that you're awake, don't wait any longer. Silang, calculate how much money the Hu family owes us, and sign a note to prevent you from being unable to pay the bills in the future."
Lin Silang had already been standing aside with the written IOU, and said loudly when he heard this.
"The diagnosis and treatment fee is five cents, the acupuncture and medicinal materials are ten cents, plus three bowls of rice soup. For the sake of my fellow villagers, I will count you twenty cents in total. The written form has been drawn up. If you don't know how to write, just take a fingerprint."
Hu Er couldn't understand a single word on the paper.
It didn't stop him from knowing that the Lin family was cheating on him.
There was no trace of anger on his face, and he pressed his fingerprints happily. Who could have predicted what would happen next.
Once you get a few hundred kilograms of grain and sell it, twenty cents is nothing!
After pressing their fingerprints, several people became even more rude. If Zheng hadn't acted quickly and divided the rice soup for the whole family in advance, the bottom of the pot would have been licked brighter than the Hu family!
At this moment, there was a loud "bang", and the Lin family looked over. Away from where everyone wanted to see, there was a landslide on the side of the mountain, and large pieces of soil mixed with water poured down and hit the bottom of the mountain.
I vaguely heard someone shouting before being buried.
At first I thought the villagers had been buried in it, but after checking around, I found that there were a lot of them.
But there was indeed a voice just now.
It still sounds like a singer's voice.
Cao Tongguang immediately asked several villagers to rescue people.
Not much mud fell down and no one was killed, so the Lin family didn't go to help.
Lin Laoer finally found time and ran to the fields to look at the potatoes, radishes and bupleurum grown at home.
Fortunately, the water diversion work in the originally opened wasteland was done well. The water from the upstream passed through dozens of acres of land and flowed smoothly to the downstream. Although a lot of soil was taken away, there was no water accumulation in the fields.
Especially Bupleurum, after being washed away by several heavy rains, it even grew several knots higher. When viewed from a distance, it looked green, almost like weeds.
Just when he was relieved, Lin Laosan suddenly hurried from a distance.
"Second brother! The people at the foot of the mountain dug it out..."
Seeing that his brother looked panicked, he stopped talking.
When Lin Laoer saw this, his right eyelid twitched suddenly, and there was a bad omen in his heart.
