Quick Wear: Passerby A's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons

The construction of this Taoist temple took several months. The work started in May and was completed in October in the winter. Jiang Yue did not rest during the construction of the Taoist temple. She was busy looking for stones to pave the ground in the courtyard after the temple was built. Otherwise, it would be too muddy to walk on rainy days.

He is also busy planting vegetables and harvesting grain. In previous years, he could still buy some grain when the harvest was poor, but this year he cannot buy what he wanted because most of the money has been spent on building this Taoist temple. Master Jiang Yue saved money for 30 years to build the temple. Mainly because the temple is on the mountain, the labor cost is too expensive.

The busy Jiang Yue had no time to go to Chang'an to take a look. This was Chang'an in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Let's wait until things are sorted out first. There are still a lot of things to do in the Taoist temple. It has been windy in recent days and no one has come. Jiang Yue simply handed the job of paving the ground to the puppet. With the puppet, there is no need to consider whether the ground is hard or whether there are stones.

After paving the ground, he simply asked the puppet to open up a few more acres of land so that he could grow more grains and vegetables next year. He also took some time to find a small ginkgo tree in the mountains and plant it in the Taoist temple. Together with the flowers and plants originally in the temple, the scenery of the Taoist temple was elevated to a higher level after all the tidying up.

In addition to these for viewing, Jiang Yue also got a lot of food, such as persimmon trees, walnut trees, chestnut trees, kiwi trees, schisandra trees, etc. Jiang Yue planted some around the Taoist temple, so she didn't have to look far away every time. Although it takes some time for the fruit trees to grow, the thing that was least lacking in ancient times was time.

After life in the Taoist temple got back on track, the first snow of the year came. Jiang Yue stood at the gate of the temple, looking at the falling snowflakes, her heart filled with tranquility. She turned back to the house and added some firewood, and the house suddenly became warm. Wouldn't it be wonderful to sit around the fire and make tea in this weather?

Jiang Yue thought that since she couldn't go down the mountain to Chang'an for the time being, she might as well take advantage of the free time in winter to study the scriptures. She took a book she had copied from the bookshelf. She had never studied it carefully before, but now she had time to do so in this world.

At first Jiang Yue wondered how long the snow would last, but things often turn out to be beyond one's expectations. After several days of heavy snow, the entire mountain was covered with snow. Fortunately, Jiang Yue had space, otherwise food reserves would have become a problem. Although he had been prepared before, the snow was heavier than expected.

Jiang Yue sent a puppet out to sweep the snow in the yard and on the mountain path. This snow was rare and Jiang Yue was afraid that something might happen to the villagers on the mountain. He hoped that no one's houses would be crushed in such a heavy snow. He would start repairing the road up the mountain slowly next year. This would not only make it more convenient for them to go down the mountain, but also if someone had any problems down the mountain and came up to look for someone, they would not be blocked by this road.

As expected, it was not known whether it was Jiang Yue's bad luck or what, but when Jiang Yue was drinking tea and reading in the house, the son of the village chief came up the mountain in the heavy snow. When Jiang Yue saw him, he thought he was hallucinating, until he heard the anxious shouts, then he was sure that he was not mistaken: "Little Taoist priest! Something big happened! Er Gouzi's house collapsed!"

"What? Someone was crushed? Is the injury serious?"

"No, Ergouzi's wife got scared and had a miscarriage while hiding. The midwife said she might not survive. My father came to the mountain to ask you if there is any way to save her life. If we can't save the child, we must save the adult."

"What? This family doesn't know how to reinforce the house! I'll go get the medicine box and go down the mountain right away."

Jiang Yue took the medicine box and hurried down the mountain. When leaving, Jiang Yue asked the village chief's son to walk slowly. At this critical moment, Jiang Yue regretted why he didn't take a pill earlier. Fortunately, Bai Ze was with him: "Bai Ze, turn on the monitoring to see what's going on. Send a puppet with the pills to see. It's best to save both the adults and children if possible."

"Ok."

"You control my body to help me get down the mountain. I'm too slow to get down the mountain by myself."

With Bai Ze controlling Jiang Yue, they went down the mountain very quickly. On the way, Bai Ze said that the situation was not optimistic and that the pills that they had wanted to save could not be saved anymore. It was because Jiang Yue had drunk the milk of Ergouzi's sister when she was a child. When Jiang Yue's master picked her up, there were only two families giving birth in the village, the village chief's family and Ergouzi's family. The favors owed had to be repaid. After all, this matter was difficult for others, but it was the same for Jiang Yue.

The elixir saved Ergouzi's wife's life. After the elixir took effect, Ergouzi's wife's condition became much better. At this time, Jiang Yue also went down the mountain and met the village chief who was waiting at the foot of the mountain: "Little Taoist priest? Why did you come down alone? My son is not with you?"

"Brother Shuanzi walks slowly. Human lives are at stake. I told him to walk slowly. Village chief, please take me to Ergouzi's house quickly, or we will be too late."

"Yes, yes, yes, I am getting old and confused. I walk slowly, so I will show you the way. It is next to Zhuzi's house. Your master took you to Zhuzi's house to see a doctor. Do you remember where it is?"

"Remember, village chief. I'll go over first. Go slowly so you don't fall. I'll come and rescue you later."

When Jiang Yue rushed over, the midwife had already tried to deliver the baby, but she was not optimistic about the child's condition. The medicine Jiang Yue gave only saved his life. Otherwise, if a healthy patient suddenly got better, others would think they had seen a ghost. It is better to be careful in this feudal society.

Seeing Jiang Yue coming in, Er Gouzi knelt down in front of Jiang Yue, then kowtowed and cried, "Little Taoist priest, please save my wife! Save my wife~"

Jiang Yue didn't have time to respond to him. When she entered the room, she activated the cleansing technique to clean herself. Although she already knew the specific situation, Jiang Yue still felt her pulse, took out a silver needle and disinfected it, and then said to the midwife: "I will give you the acupuncture, you focus on delivering the baby."

After the acupuncture, Ergouzi's wife was fed a pill. In this way, even if others had doubts, they would only say that Jiang Yue had good medical skills. After taking the pill, both the adults and the child were much more energetic. Afterwards, Ergouzi's wife gave birth to the child smoothly. With the sound of the midwife spanking twice and the baby's crying, the tense atmosphere in the yard immediately dissipated a lot.

The midwife looked at the lively child in her arms and sighed, "I've been a midwife for so many years, and this is the first time I've encountered such a situation. The Taoist priest is really good at medicine. I think your master is even better than him now. Oh, why can't I see your master? Is it because it's snowing hard to walk and he didn't come down?"

"The master passed away on the ninth day of the first lunar month."

"Ah? Look at my mouth, little Taoist priest..."

"It's okay, look at the baby."

After the baby was born, Jiang Yue left the delivery room. The rest was up to the midwife. After leaving, Jiang Yue said to everyone waiting, "Don't worry, everything is fine. Mother and child are safe, and the baby is healthy."

"Wow~" The crybaby Ergouzi started crying again. Well, he probably scared people today.
