Chapter 10 Luo Yunjian "What are you doing?"
The weather was a bit gloomy today, and the road was chilly. Zhao Yan, carrying a small backpack, followed Danniu with great interest. "Last time, I saw a reclining chair for sale in town. The material was good and not too expensive. If I can find some good herbs today, I'll buy a chair for Brother Lan tomorrow!"
"Brother Shen is really good to Mr. Xiao, just like a real brother," Daniu said, and then looked back at Zhao Yan: "No, Brother Shen looks like a little girl, you two look more like a couple, hahaha, if Brother Shen was really a girl, would you both be willing to marry her?"
"..." Zhao Yan pouted, disagreeing with what Da Niu said: "I'm just half a head shorter than Brother Lan, and Brother Daniu just said that Brother Lan looks like a young wife."
"Why can't I marry him?"
Daniu looked at Zhao Yan and laughed heartily: "I was just talking casually, don't take it seriously, Brother Shen."
"The weather is not very good today. If it rains soon, we probably won't be able to go up the mountain."
"Huh?" Going up the mountain to collect herbs was Zhao Yan's only way to make money. When he heard that he couldn't go up the mountain, he became excited and said, "Then let's stop chatting and get going!"
The weather is bad today, so Zilan and Zilan didn't come. They went to the town to do odd jobs. There were only two figures on the slippery mountain road: Da Niu and Zhao Yan.
After climbing for almost two hours, Zhao Yan and Daniu finally found some worthless herbs. But to make matters worse, heavy rain suddenly fell from the sky.
Da Niu pulled out a few plants and found that the rain was too heavy, so he stood up and took out his umbrella: "Brother Shen, we can't pick herbs if it rains, otherwise we will get bored if we take them back. Let's take shelter from the rain first and come back to pick herbs in a few days after the rain stops."
Zhao Yan didn't pick many of them. The sudden downpour soaked his clothes. Da Niu handed him an umbrella and said, "Let's go."
Zhao Yan was reluctant to leave, but Danniu said that the medicine would rot if they took it back, so he had no choice but to put down his hand, open the umbrella, and walk with Danniu to a place where they could shelter from the rain.
After waiting for more than an hour, the rain slowly stopped and the already rugged mountain road became muddy.
Daniel: "The rain is easing now. Let's hurry down the mountain. The road is difficult to walk on. If we're late we'll get trapped."
"Okay." Zhao Yan had planned to work hard today, but ended up not picking any herbs. "So, are we going up the mountain again tomorrow?"
Daniel: "I don't think I'll be able to go up these next few days, but I can pick mushrooms on my way down the mountain. If I'm lucky and the mushrooms are big, I can sell them for three or five taels of silver."
Zhao Yan, who reached the peak of his career as soon as he debuted, lowered his head in disappointment when he heard the three or five taels of silver. However, when he went down the mountain, he still went with Da Niu and picked a full basket of various mushrooms!
I don’t know whether Brother Lan likes to eat mushrooms.
…
Before noon, the children came home from school, and the women working in the fields came to pick them up. "Mr. Xiao, this is half a pound of pork that my husband brought back from town."
"Sir, this is the fruit I just picked from the field. Please don't despise it."
Daniu's wife: "Is Brother Shen feeling better? I don't have anything good at home, so Mr. Shen, take this basket of eggs and use it to nourish Brother Shen."
Yong Shaolan didn't charge for teaching, so every few days the women in the village would send him some fruits and vegetables, but Yong Shaolan never took any of them. Firstly, he still had money to spend, and secondly, they were things he would eat, so he had to be careful.
But he still took the basket of eggs: “I would like to thank Sister Daniu on behalf of Brother Shen.”
In Dayan, the war had just ended, and the people had just started to have enough to eat in the past few years. They had just enough to eat, let alone other conditions. Take the school for example. The only school in the town charged hundreds of taels of silver every few years. How could the villagers afford it?
Fortunately, there was a Mr. Xiao who could teach the children to recognize words. In just half a month, some children who went to the town knew more words than the students in that town. The teacher also said that when he found his relatives and returned to Yujing, he would invite the teacher from Yujing to come over.
The children in Qingshui Village don’t have to pay for schooling!
"What are you thanking me for? The people in our village should thank you, sir. I won't say any more. It's a waste of your time." Then, the wife of the big cow hugged the little cow and drove away the women who were making a fuss in front of the man's door. "Let's go, sir, you need to rest after dinner."
It rained before noon. After Yong Shaolan sent the child away, he began to cook for the two of them.
Not long after dinner, Zhao Yan knocked on the door in the yard: "Brother Lan, I'm back!"
Zhao Yan was actually not very happy because he didn't make any money today, but he didn't want to bring bad mood to Brother Lan when he returned home, so he sighed in front of the door before knocking.
Soon, the door was opened, and the man still spoke softly: “Huh? Brother Shen Yan picked mushrooms today?”
Zhao Yan nodded, "Yeah...it rained today, so I didn't get any..."
Brother Lan, are you going to be disappointed?
"Brother Shen Yan, how did you know I like mushrooms?" Yong Shaolan closed the door and followed Zhao Yan into the yard. He then helped him take off the small backpack on his back. "It's just that my eyes are not convenient, so I can't go to the mountain to pick them."
"Thank you, Brother Shen Yan."
Zhao Yan scratched his head and immediately became happy: "Really? That's great! I was a little disappointed that I didn't get any herbs. This is great!"
"Then we'll have mushrooms tonight!"
Yong Shaolan nodded: "Okay, lunch is still warm in the pot. I'll go get you some rice. You go into the house and change your clothes."
Zhao Yan nodded and was about to go into the house when there was another knock on the door: "Mr. Xiao, my eldest cousin sent someone to pick you up! He said he found your relative!"
It’s the voice of a big bull.
Zhao Yan went back to open the door, and it was indeed Da Niu who had just separated from him, but there was a man who looked like a servant standing next to Da Niu.
Daniel: “Brother Shen, where is the gentleman?”
"In the kitchen," Zhao Yan let the two of them in, and he went to the kitchen to call for help. Yong Shaolan just happened to come out with food. "I heard everything. You eat. I think I have to go to town. If I don't come back tonight, remember..."
Zhao Yan is a shy person, and he would definitely feel embarrassed to ask to go to Daniu's house for dinner. Thinking of this, Yong Shaolan took his people out.
When Danniu saw the man, he said, "Oh, that's great news. This is the servant from my eldest cousin's family. He just came over and said he found someone or something. You should follow him."
Yong Shaolan nodded: "Well, it's just that I'm worried about Brother Shen being alone at home. Can Brother Daniu help me take care of him and give him a meal?"
Zhao Yan: “…………”
"Brother Lan, are you going on a long journey?"
Yong Shaolan: "If you go to town, you may not be able to come back at night. You can go to Brother Da Niu's house for dinner tonight. If you are afraid, you can stay overnight."
When Zhao Yan heard they were going to town, he immediately put down his lunch: "Going to town? Then I won't eat anymore. I'll go with you. I just happened to be selling some extra mushrooms at the restaurant."
"I need to look for someone and can't take you with me." Yong Shaolan held Zhao Yan's wrist. "I'm going to sell mushrooms. You just wait for me at home, okay?"
Zhao Yan: "Ah..."
Zhao Yan scratched his head awkwardly: "Okay then, you can sell it, and I... I don't really want to go either. You go, go, I can do it alone."
Zhao Yan said he didn't care, but the lost look in his eyes couldn't deceive anyone. But he really couldn't take risks with Zhao Yan. "Well, remember to bring the medicine over. Let Sister Daniu decoct it for you. I'll be back tomorrow."
"I understand..." Zhao Yan pushed him away: "Just go about your business!"
Yong Shaolan had no choice but to follow the servant out the door. After the two left, Daniu invited Zhao Yan: "Brother Chen, come to my house to play in the afternoon. Bring your medicine, and I'll ask your sister-in-law to boil it for you."
Zhao Yan looked at the figure gradually going away, sighed, and felt empty in his heart: "No, no need, I can do it myself, Brother Danniu, go back and eat."
Seeing that Zhao Yan was indeed unwilling, Daniu had no choice but to agree: "Okay, if you have any problems, come to me. Anyway, the world is stable now, and it's okay for you to be alone at home."
"Um."
…
After seeing off Da Niu, Zhao Yan went back to have lunch. It was almost three o'clock, but the lunch was still hot. He guessed that Brother Lan knew he would be back at noon, so he kept it warm.
After finishing his meal, Zhao Yan fetched water to wash the dishes, and then prepared to wash his wet clothes.
Washing clothes is really strenuous work. Zhao Yan grunted and pumped water several times before he could rinse off the foam on the soap beans. After finishing all this, he was so tired that he went into the room to sleep.
There were two beds in the inner room, one was the step-up bed he bought for Brother Lan, and the other was a bamboo bed for a single person. When Zhao Yan passed by Brother Lan's step-up bed, he found that his bedding only took up half of the space, and the space inside was empty.
There are many mosquitoes in the summer, and there are gauze curtains on the bed. He thought about it, then climbed onto the man's bed holding his bedding.
Then I slept until midnight.
Before leaving, Yong Shaolan told Zhao Yan to boil some medicine, but he overslept and felt unwell in the middle of the night. He got up reluctantly and said, "Brother Lan..."
He felt dizzy and his body was very hot. The quilt had been kicked to the ground long ago, and even Brother Lan's quilt was kicked to the ground by him.
Damn it, I forgot to take my medicine.
Zhao Yan dragged his limp legs out of bed, calling out as he crawled, "Brother Lan... are you back?"
The only response he got was the dark bedroom and silence.
Not back.
He feels so uncomfortable.
He didn't take the medicine at noon, nor the medicine at night. It's over. He is going into heat.
After crawling for a while, Zhao Yan couldn't crawl anymore, so he simply lay down on the bed again, prostrating himself, kicking the mattress aside, and pressing his body against the smooth wooden bed board. A slight cool breeze passed through his hemp cloth clothes, which relieved some of his heat.
But soon the bed was warmed up by him.
Zhao Yan turned over again, lying on his back with his legs spread out, looking at the snow-white gauze curtain with his eyes open.
Or... let's do something inappropriate for children?
It feels so uncomfortable.
It feels really bad.
Slowly, Zhao Yan took off all his clothes and threw them on the floor. He actually wanted to go to his bed, but he couldn't move at all... Soon, he could hear the faint sound of low panting on the bed. It was probably because he was so immersed in sex that he didn't hear when the door was opened.
Yong Shaolan was afraid that Zhao Yan would be scared at night, so he borrowed a horse and rushed back overnight. As soon as he entered the inner room, he saw the bedding thrown on the ground, and the familiar underwear and pajamas were also thrown on the ground.
Inside the gauze tent, moonlight shone through, and Zhao Yan could be vaguely seen lying on his side, babbling, "It hurts so much..."
Yong Shaolan slurred his words, pausing for a moment, then raised his hand to open the bed curtain and called out, "Yanyan, what are you doing?"
