Xing Yifei climbed onto the bed carefully, trying his best not to make any noise.
Although it was already autumn, the weather was getting colder with each autumn rain, and he felt inexplicably chilly. Looking towards the wind vent, he saw that the paper-pasted windows of their room were torn by the rain, and rain was still falling in. He wrapped Xing Jianjun tightly with a quilt to protect him from the cold wind.
After living in Sichuan for several years, Xing Yifei still hasn't adapted to the weather changes here. The summer heat is so intense that he wishes he could soak in water all day long. On the contrary, the winter cold wind bites into his bones, and the continuous rain makes people feel bored and distressed.
Although my legs were still sore, I fell asleep while thinking about it in a relaxed manner.
Tian Xiaolan got up and walked to the gate. The vegetable leaves in the yard were still covered with crystal water droplets, making them look lush and green.
There were a few active sparrows on the tree flying back and forth in the rain. Looking out through the fence, I saw the autumn rain, and the overflowing rain mist, as if cut into pieces of silver thread, hanging in the air, covering everything like smoke and clouds.
After breakfast, Li Weiguo went to school. Tian Xiaolan closed the door and told Aunt Guihua and Brother Weimin about the Ganoderma lucidum.
"Ganoderma lucidum, is there really such a medicine? Can I live to be a hundred years old after taking it?" Li Weimin looked at it for a long time to make sure it could not fly before he dared to touch the Ganoderma lucidum on the table. It was not even as big as his palm, but it was shiny and smooth to the touch. It did not look like a mushroom, but more like a piece of wood.
"Silly ball, how can you live to be a hundred years old by eating a tree root? You must have dreamed it!" Fang Guihua rolled her eyes, not wanting to talk to him. She placed the Ganoderma lucidum in Tian Xiaolan's palm and said, "Put it away. If you can find it, it means it is destined for you. We will just pretend we don't know anything about it."
Li Weimin smiled foolishly and didn't respond.
"Okay." Tian Xiaolan looked at the Ganoderma lucidum in her hand calmly and had already made a plan.
Fang Guihua went to take care of her own things, and told her to rest for a few more days. Not long ago, she was assigned by the team leader to take care of the pigs on the hillside. The first thing she did before dawn every day was to find grass for the pigs. Life was not easy before, and there was not much grass in the surrounding area. Raising pigs was related to how much meat the whole village could get during the New Year, and whether they could have a happy New Year.
Li Weimin also put on his shoes and prepared to go to work. He followed the villagers to the brick factory in town to pull bricks. Although the work was tiring, he could earn money early so that he could marry a wife. Just thinking about it made him full of energy.
Tian Xiaolan waved her hand, calling Li Weimin over, and handed him the Ganoderma lucidum in her hand: "Brother, please help me give this to Xing Yifei at the reservoir near the village. By the way, do you have any medicine for injuries at home?"
"Sa Zian, you still want to associate with him?! I won't do it!" Li Weimin pushed her hand away in surprise and resolutely refused to take the Ganoderma lucidum. She had obviously picked it with great effort, but she wanted to give it to someone else. He had never seen anyone so magnanimous.
Could it be that she was being scammed? Thinking about how the workers at the brick factory always loved to brag about how they had picked up many girls without spending much money, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that my guess was right. How could I help Xiaolan escape from this scumbag? This was the problem.
"If you want to give it to someone, just give it to me!" If I sell this wooden Ganoderma lucidum, I will have enough money to marry a wife. I feel happy just thinking about it.
"Brother Wei Min, listen to me. This flower is for Xing Yifei. Next time I find it, I will definitely give it to you, but I really can't do it this time." Tian Xiaolan sighed and gently comforted Li Weihua.
Thinking of this, I went to find medicine for her. There was a square hole in the wall behind the kitchen door, with several bottles and jars and some sewing items inside.
He found a pocket to distribute the medicine evenly, wrapped it up and gave it to Li Weimin: "Take this with you too."
After all, she was also responsible for Xing Yifei's injuries. Now she should repair the relationship. In the 1980s, when she was unfamiliar with the place, more friends would open up more paths for her.
"Why are you so nice to him? You're not even as nice to me as his brother."
Tian Xiaolan helplessly held her forehead and smiled bitterly: "Hey, my brother doesn't listen to his sister now, how can he listen to his wife and get married in the future?"
Li Weimin hesitated for a moment, then compromised: "Okay, I'll go and send it off. Xiaolan, do as you ask. How long do you think it will take me to find a wife?"
"Let's not be impatient. You can't become fat in one bite. We need to use some small things in life to slowly change your reputation." Tian Xiaolan pushed his shoulder and signaled that he could go.
Li Weimin carefully put the Ganoderma lucidum in his pocket. It happened that he would pass by the reservoir on his way to work, so he walked back to the house after arriving at the reservoir.
"Is Xing Yifei here? If he is, come out. I have something to talk to you about."
Xing Yifei had injured his leg, so naturally he didn't go out. Everyone else had gone to work, but he was still lying on the bed. When he heard someone calling his name, he shouted, "Come in, the door is not locked."
Li Weimin heard his words, pushed the door open, and found Xing Yifei bending his legs under the quilt, staring at him.
Feeling uncomfortable being stared at, Li Weimin quickly explained his purpose: "I'm here to help my sister deliver something."
Xing Yifei's eyes circled around him and finally landed on Li Weimin's bulging shirt pocket.
Li Weimin cautiously took out the Ganoderma lucidum from his pocket and placed it next to Xing Yifei.
"for you."
Before he could say anything, Li Weimin rushed out the door. He nervously touched his pocket and found a box in it. He hesitated whether to go back. Thinking of Tian Xiaolan's words, he turned around and went in resolutely.
"This is medicine, for wounds."
After saying that, he ran away.
Ever since the villagers learned that Xing Yifei had stabbed someone in the town, they have been avoiding him. After several months, no one reported the case to Xing Yifei. He continued to work normally in the village and had contacts with outsiders. Even the village chief avoided him.
Watching him slip away like a rabbit, Xing Yifei looked at the Ganoderma lucidum in front of him. It was the one Tian Xiaolan found yesterday. Why did she give it to him for no reason? She didn't seem to feel guilty when she argued with him yesterday, and today she even gave him medicine.
Conspiracy, absolutely a conspiracy!
But if he didn't apply the medicine, the wound would take another ten days or half a month to heal. He still had things to do, so he lifted the quilt, supported himself with his hands and got up. He rolled up his right trouser leg, opened the box and started applying the medicine.
He applied the medicine and went to wash his hands. There was some food left for him by Chen Shaohui in the kitchen. After eating, he sat in the yard and read.
On the other side, Li Weiguo ran away from the reservoir before he suppressed his palpitations. He quickened his pace to meet under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village. There was only one person spinning in circles under the tree. It was Liu Yongqiang.
Liu Yongqiang came over anxiously and explained, "You're finally here. I thought you weren't going. They left first, and if we walk faster now, we can still catch up with them."
In fact, Li Weimin knew what was going on without any explanation. In the village, they bullied their whole family just because they were relatives of the village chief. Now they were working together in the city, and they only took the easy jobs.
Although they push the carts in shifts of half a day, they only pretend to do it when the supervisor is around. As soon as the supervisor leaves, they quit and sit down to chat.
