The next day, An Ning got up very early, mainly because she couldn't sleep because something was on her mind.

She always thought about Captain Qin's words about settling her down.

What if she was placed in a small courtyard very close to the original owner's home, and saw those family members who regarded her as an enemy all day long?

Then the food won’t taste good anymore.

"Hey, little nun, what are you thinking about? You look absent-minded."

From the moment he came down the mountain, Li Hao saw An Ning staring with her eyes wide open, and he didn't know what she was thinking.

I didn't care about it at first, but now I'm about to hit the tree.

Hearing Li Hao's voice, An Ning suddenly came back to her senses.

Unexpectedly, my foot slipped.

"ah!"

An Ning ran towards Captain Qin and fell on his back.

When people reach such a critical moment, they will always think about saving themselves without any scruples.

An Ning did the same, grabbing around with her hands randomly.

As if grabbing a life-saving straw, he hugged Qin Yue's calf tightly.

Although the person fell, fortunately the fall was not too serious.

"Are you okay, little nun?"

Li Hao ran over quickly and tried to help the man up.

Unfortunately, Qin Yue was faster than him.

He frowned, stretched out his arms, pulled up the girl who was hugging his calf, and scolded her coldly.

"Walk and watch the road!"

"Oh……"

An Ning curled her lips, lowered her head and followed behind, going down the mountain in shame.

-

There has been more gossip in Zhaojiatun recently than ever before.

Despite the freezing cold, there were still a few old men, old ladies, and gossipy aunts and uncles sitting under the big tree at the east end of the village.

"Have you heard that the daughter of the old An family is back?"

"I heard about it, I heard about it. I don't know what sin she committed, but the nunnery on the mountain was burned down. She came back to look for her relatives."

"I heard that it was the village chief who brought the person over. The An family was really angry!"

Several middle-aged women gathered together and talked in whispers for a long time.

He didn't shut up until he saw the old man of the An family coming.

Mr. An looked at them with a dark face and said, "Mind your own business."

Then he left with his hands behind his back.

Seeing the man leave, a few gossips curled their lips indifferently.

"Bah, when we are willing to say it!"

"That's right, who doesn't know about the An family's troubles?"

Although they spoke stubbornly, everyone still dispersed and went to their homes.

Of course, I didn't see the two men in military uniforms and the little girl walking towards the west end of the village.

The west end of the village is not far from the east end, only about fifty meters away.

But Aunt Zhao's home is some distance away from the west end of the village and is quite remote.

Several people stood at the door of Aunt Zhao's house and saw that the wooden door of the yard was not locked.

"Isn't Aunt Zhao going out again?"

"It doesn't look like it!"

Qin Yue looked up at the chimney of the house.

The fact that someone was lighting the fire proved that Aunt Zhao was at least a little normal today.

"Let's go, you don't have to say anything when we get in!"

After hearing Captain Qin's instructions, An Ning quickly nodded.

In fact, she didn't know what to say, so she might as well remain silent.

So the three of them walked into the yard.

"Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhao, I'm Li Hao, I'm here to visit you!"

Hearing Li Hao's voice, Aunt Zhao, who still had a trace of clarity of mind, immediately put down the firewood in her hand and walked into the yard.

Then Captain Qin and Li Hao were seen standing in the yard.

There was a little girl hiding behind the two of them.

"Hey, you're here. Is the mountain short of medicine again?"

Aunt Zhao smoothed her gray hair and looked behind Captain Qin with a kind smile.

Then he waved to a few people.

"Come in and sit down. It's cold outside."

Aunt Zhao was very hospitable. Not only did she invite everyone into the house, she also prepared sugar-water eggs for them and brought them a few apples.

This was already a very high standard for entertaining guests in the countryside in 83.

"Aunt Zhao, please don't spend money!"

Seeing the fruits on the table, Qin Yue quickly spoke up to stop them.

"Eat it. I'm old and I'm the only one at home. These things...will rot if I leave them alone if I can't finish them."

Aunt Zhao, who had been smiling gently just now, now had sadness in her eyes.

Qin Yue quickly glanced at Li Hao.

Li Hao understood and pushed An Ning directly in front of the old lady.

"Aunt Zhao, do you know her?"

An Ning, who was pushed out, looked back at Li Hao in surprise. He didn't even say hello in advance!

too suddenly!

But he still called out politely.

"Hello, Grandma Zhao!"

Aunt Zhao liked polite children, so she looked at him patiently for a long time and finally shook her head.

"I didn't even know there were such beautiful girls in Zhaojiatun!"

"That's right... I'm a little weaker."

Aunt Zhao was also a Chinese medicine practitioner in her early years, although she only studied with her master for a few years and hid in a small mountain valley to avoid trouble.

But over the years, I have seen too many patients.

Although An Ning has fair skin, the color of her lips is very light, and her dry and yellow hair looks unnutritious.

The most important thing is that even wearing a cotton Taoist robe, it still looks extremely thin.

"Aunt Zhao, we are here to ask you to check her illness!"

Seeing that Aunt Zhao was finally not so sad, Li Hao looked at his captain as if to take credit.

However, he found that the captain's eyes were always on An Ning.

Then, jump back and forth!

This... the captain keeps staring at the girl, which is not good.

So, he stood up and stood directly between the captain and An Ning, blocking Qin Yue's sight.

Qin Yue was stunned, with a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

Is this big idiot sick? Why are you blocking him?

But before he could drag the big fool away, Aunt Zhao had already taken An Ning's hand and sat down by the kang.

It’s warm on the kang.

An Ning was frozen all the way down from the mountain.

At this moment, he was sitting by the kang, happily stretching out his two little hands and placing them on the kang, and his fingers, which had been frozen stiff, were able to move slightly.

"It must be frozen."

Aunt Zhao took a thin blanket from the side and covered the girl with it. Then she took her hand, placed it on the kang, and began to take her pulse.

For a long time, he sighed repeatedly.

"Captain Qin, we don't know what happened to this child. His body is seriously weak and it's not something that can be cured with just a few doses of medicine."

If you want to restore your physical condition to your age, you need to recuperate for at least half a year or even longer.

"How about this, let the child live with me first, and when she gets better, you can take her away."

After hearing this, Qin Yue and Li Hao were stunned.

Last night, Qin Yue was still thinking about how to persuade Aunt Zhao, even though she might act crazy sometimes.

But when he is sober, he is also very shrewd and most people look down on him.

Unexpectedly, he didn't even have to speak.

"Aunt Zhao, this is not good."

"What's wrong with that? Don't you trust my medical skills?"

"No! I trust it!"

Qin Yue didn't explain much. He just took out twenty yuan from his pocket and put it into Aunt Zhao's hand.

At the end, don’t forget to add one more sentence.

"Aunt Zhao, this is not a consultation fee. I want you to give her some supplements! I know the money is not enough. I will give it to you next month when I get my salary."

When she heard that it was for girls to nourish their bodies, Aunt Zhao did not refuse.
