Ye Linlang put her hands behind her back and pinched the palm of her right hand hard with her left hand.
A pain instantly spread through Ye Linlang's mind.
pain.
Ye Linlang, wake up.
The handsome and sunny young man in front of you is not your husband yet.
Keep your distance from him.
"Sorry, don't listen to Hu Zi. You look good like this."
After Ye Linlang said this, she turned around as if nothing had happened and took Xie Xuning to the Ye family.
The Ye family now lives in a wooden courtyard house. Because Grandma Ye and Ye Yin are both hardworking people, the courtyard house is maintained in an elegant and quaint style.
"Young man, please sit down."
Grandpa Ye moved two bamboo chairs and placed them under the grape trellis in the courtyard.
"Grandpa, his name is Xie Xuning." Ye Linlang said cheerfully, and greeted the somewhat polite Xie Xuning, "Xie Xuning, take a look around. I'll go cook with grandma."
Ye Linlang trotted into the kitchen and found Grandma Ye had already lit the fire in the stove.
"Grandma, what are we having for lunch?"
Grandma Ye took a piece of smoked bacon from the beam in the kitchen and soaked it in warm water.
"Linlang, go to our plot of land and peel some garlic."
"good."
After Ye Linlang threw a piece of firewood into the stove, she carried the bamboo basket out of the back door of the kitchen and came to the Ye family's vegetable garden.
In 1980, most of the fields were still cultivated by the villagers in the brigade together.
Every household has a private plot of land.
The Ye family is large and they have a lot of private plots.
Vegetables, peanuts, corn and other crops are planted in the private plot.
These days are the season when garlic stalks are ripe. Ye Linlang used a knife to cut open the garlic stalks, peeled out the tender green garlic stalks inside, and put them into a bamboo basket.
Then he dug a handful of dandelions from the ridges of the field and pinched a handful of tender leaves of Houttuynia cordata.
Seeing Ye Linlang bending over to pinch the leaves of Houttuynia cordata, Xie Xuning asked in a clear voice, "Ye Linlang, what are you doing?"
Ye Linlang asked casually, "Why are you here?"
"I heard from Grandma Ye that you arrived at the vegetable garden."
Xie Xuning is brilliant and beautiful in the sunshine.
"What kind of wild vegetable are you picking?"
While pinching the tender leaves of houttuynia cordata, Ye Linlang explained to Xie Xuning, "In our Jiameng dialect, it's called 'zhe'ergen' or 'zhubikong', and in written form it's 'yuxingcao'. My master said that houttuynia cordata has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and healing sores."
Xie Xuning hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your master?"
"Yes, my master."
Ye Linlang picked up the bamboo basket and walked on the ridges of the field with Xie Xuning, one in front and one behind. When they passed the pea field, they pulled a few handfuls of pea seedlings.
"Your master is Hua Wuxia?"
Ye Linlang was not surprised at all to hear the name of her master "Hua Wuxia" from Xie Xuning's mouth.
In his previous life, Hua Wuxia was the exclusive Chinese medicine practitioner of the Xie family’s ancestor.
"Do you know my master?"
Xie Xuning did not hide anything and told Ye Linlang the purpose of his visit to Jiameng Town.
"I've come here specifically to take Dr. Hua back to the capital. Can you take me to find her?"
Ye Linlang stared blankly at Xie Xuning's handsome and noble face, and said with a sad and reluctant heart, "I'll take you there after school this afternoon."
"Thank you for your help." Xie Xuning was polite and modest.
Ye Linlang lowered her eyes and walked silently in front of Xie Xuning. When she was about to reach the back door of the kitchen, Ye Linlang suddenly turned around and asked Xie Xuning, "When are you planning to return to the imperial capital?"
A feeling of reluctance welled up in Ye Linlang's heart.
She couldn't bear to leave her master.
I also can't bear to leave Xie Xuning.
"It depends on when Doctor Hua is free." Xie Xuning invited Ye Linlang again, "You are Doctor Hua's apprentice? Would you consider transferring to the Imperial Capital to study? The teaching quality in the Imperial Capital is much better than in Jiameng Town."
