Li Yan, a university graduate and village official dedicated to poverty alleviation, accidentally transmigrated into Li Family Village, nestled in a mountain gully. Her family was impoverished. Due...
Boss Lu led his men to the thatched hut and allocated the rooms.
Lao Gou and Lao Huang didn't bother to rest and were busy feeding the horses first, while the others began to check whether the medicinal herbs on their carts had been wetted by the rain.
Everyone just had some simple dry food today, and Li Yan wanted to make some hot meals in the evening to comfort everyone.
Li Yan called Dayong and Zhou Xun, saying that since we were kids, they should be able to let us go to the village.
After saying that, he took the water bag and led the two of them to the village entrance.
Seeing that it was three children approaching, the villagers did not stop them from approaching. Li Yan walked up to a girl and asked softly, "I want to buy some eggs from you. I wonder if anyone of you can sell them to me?"
The little girl looked at Li Yan, who was dressed as a man, blushed, and didn't answer for a long time.
One of the skinny boys asked, "How many eggs do you want? I'll go ask for you!"
Li Yan: "Then buy me twenty eggs! I'll buy yours for two cents each!"
After hearing this, the boy immediately ran towards the village.
The girl, whose face was blushing just now, came to her senses and whispered, "I'll ask for you too!"
Li Yan called her: "Miss, can you take us to get some water?"
The girl turned around and looked at the adults around her, and after getting permission, she led a few people to fetch water.
Li Yan went back to the thatched hut first, and soon the thin boy came to the hut carrying a basket.
Boy: "There are thirty eggs in here. Can you take them all?"
Li Yan looked at the boy's eager eyes and took out sixty copper coins from her purse and handed them to him: "I want all of these. Count the money and see if it's right!"
The boy took the silver, counted it, and left happily.
In the evening, Li Yan boiled two eggs for everyone, reheated the white flour buns she brought out, and cooked egg drop soup with the remaining eggs.
Everyone ate white flour buns with egg drop soup, which was a very good meal!
After a day's journey, everyone was very tired. After dinner, some people were assigned to keep watch, while the others fell asleep.
After a simple wash, Li Yan lay down in the carriage and fell asleep soon.
In the middle of the night, Li Yan was awakened by the sound of knocking on the carriage door.
Li Yan, startled awake, recognized Zhou Xun's voice and hurriedly opened the car door. Zhou Xun said anxiously, "Dayong had a fever last night, and now his whole body is burning hot! Let me find my medicine box!"
Li Yan came to her senses after hearing this and quickly made way for Zhou Xun.
Li Yan: "Why did you suddenly have a fever?"
Zhou Xun said in frustration, "It's all my fault. It rained on the mountain today and I didn't prepare a raincoat. Dayong was afraid I'd get wet, so he gave it to me!"
Li Yan comforted Zhou Xun: "Don't blame yourself, let's go see Dayong!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun jumped off the carriage with his medicine box on his back and rushed to Dayong.
When Li Yan followed Zhou Xun into the house, she heard Dayong, who was in a coma, muttering, "No, no!", as if he was suffering great pain.
Raymond Lam used a wet towel to cool Dayong down.
Zhou Xun hurriedly put down the medicine box, sat next to Dayong, and took out silver needles from the medicine box. After a few injections, Dayong, who was anxious just now, immediately calmed down!
After Zhou Xun finished the acupuncture, he took out a bottle of pills from the medicine box, poured out one and put it into Dayong's mouth.
After Zhou Xun finished all this, he stood up and said to Li Yan, "Sorry for disturbing your rest just now! I'll take care of it here, you guys can go back!"
Li Yan: "Is Dayong okay?"
Zhou Xun: "I've already given him some cooling medicine, so he should be fine!"
