After Fan Yu recuperated in this home for more than half a month, he saw that his complexion gradually improved.Although it is only a simple meal here, it is much better than eating in the brothel in the fish girl city, and for the past half a month, I just lay down, so it is easier to recover my strength than when I worked hard all day long .As for internal injuries, drinking the decoction prepared by the doctor in the city every morning and evening seems to be really effective, otherwise it wouldn't have been just ten days or so, and even the dull pain in the body seemed to have been pulled out like.Fan Yu felt that her mother-in-law must have spent a lot of money to buy good medicines, otherwise, if he was asked to believe how good his body is now, he would definitely not believe it. This body is so weak. Living this life by relying on this body itself is simply nonsense.

He was afraid that his already weak body would be troubled by some kind of disease in the future due to improper treatment. He always hated such things as "after troubles", so he drank soup and medicine very frequently in the past few days. After that, the bitterness will be reversed and it will be as bitter as death again.He didn't know if there was any sugar in his mother-in-law's house for him to drink after drinking, and he didn't feel embarrassed to ask, because he thought that this place was not as rich in materials as his original world, and it was a family like his mother-in-law. The material resources are even more difficult, so he can only bear it whenever it is time to drink medicine.In the first few days, the mother-in-law personally brought a bowl to feed him. She didn't know the medicine was bitter, and the doctor didn't tell me whether the medicine was bitter or not. The mother-in-law saw that the medicine soup was black but tasteless. When it comes out, she just thinks it's tasteless to drink. How did she know that Fan Yu shed a few layers of skin because of almost no bitterness, and he always wrinkled his brows while drinking, just thinking that he was holding back his body The pain in his chest made him frown all the time during those few days.After he was able to sit up, he told his mother-in-law to put down the soup, and he could drink it himself.After hearing this, the mother-in-law didn't care about him taking the medicine, she just boiled it and put it on a square wooden table next to the bed, and let him drink it himself, while she went back to the next room, which was a fire room, a firewood room, and a firewood room. She went to a place like a workshop, and did the work that was essential for her livelihood, such as grinding millet, sifting flour, and steaming buns.

In this way, after about half a month, Fan Yu felt that his illness was gone, and his whole body became refreshed.Since Fan Yu felt that he was neat, he had to get out of bed to help with the work, but the mother-in-law felt that it might not be right, and asked him to take it easy and do those heavy things.The mother-in-law also asked him to change the room with her before talking about other things.Fan Yu also felt strange earlier, thinking that he was sleeping in her mother-in-law's room, and her mother-in-law didn't say anything about setting up a floor bed here at night, so she didn't know where her mother-in-law slept.Only now did I know that my mother-in-law slept in another bungalow behind this one-story house, and the two rooms belonged to my mother-in-law.He had seen the bungalow at the back when he crossed Banqiao alone before and came to this mountain. At that time, he wondered if it belonged to his mother-in-law or which family, but it turned out to be her mother-in-law's.It's just that he didn't ask his mother-in-law why she had to use two rooms alone, or whether there were other family members who lived there before. Seeing that her mother-in-law didn't take the initiative to mention this matter, he couldn't ask more questions.Originally, as soon as my mother-in-law brought him back with a cart, because of her anxiety, she didn't think about where her bed was occupied by this child, so she just pushed him into the house and moved him to the bed. Go back to the city and invite the doctor.This time it was changed, and Fan Yu lived in the room behind her, while her mother-in-law still lived in the room in front of her.

Grinding millet, sifting flour, chopping firewood, and carrying water should all be rough jobs in the eyes of my mother-in-law, so she thinks that Fan Yu, who is just right, can't do these things.Fan Yu eats and drinks for free here, feeling flustered, but his mother-in-law said that these things can't be done, so he asked her what can be done, and finally her mother-in-law said to help her make the steamed ashes. things into baskets.Then he will help with the dressing, and after the dressing is done, there is nothing else for him.The mother-in-law went out early in the morning to do a small business in Yunu City, but he had nothing to do, so he was assigned a job - housekeeping.He also thought: Well, it really doesn't take much effort.

But he held four keys left by his mother-in-law in one hand—one with two rooms at the front, one at the back, and four large rooms in total. Just come back before you come back.It's not that he needs to rush back to open the door for his mother-in-law, because her mother-in-law also has the key, but he didn't tell her that he would go out, so don't make her anxious when she comes back and doesn't see anyone else.

He put the four keys into his coat, walked out the door, stood at the door, ready to lock the door and leave, but he didn't know how to lock the big brass lock, he pondered for a while, took out the keys, and fiddled with it again After a while, I found that the lock must have a key to lock it.

After he locked the door properly, he turned around and walked slowly down the mountain.He was walking very slowly, because he was afraid of injuring some disease in his body that might be left over from the last good beating, but he didn't know that as he walked, his steps became more and more light, and he didn't seem to be walking at all. There are people who have been bedridden for nearly one month before.He had not always felt healthy since he had come to this strange place.I always feel like I am a sick person, I don't have much strength, and I always look like I'm about to collapse. I can't remember what it was like when he had a healthy and strong body before.But right now, because of the series of events in which he was beaten, recuperated, drank medicine, and ate much better than when he was in the brothel, he was blessed by misfortune, and he had a small taste of the feeling of health in his body.

As soon as his body became lighter and stronger, he suddenly felt that the sky was clear and the clouds were clear and the sun was clear. He was full of hope for the future, and he felt more grateful and cherished for what he had before him.Maybe it's just because he has always been a positive person who doesn't complain about others, or maybe it's because he, a person who doesn't often get sick and weak, has gone through such a weak and weak body, unable to use his strength all day long, and then he can feel it again. The process of what it feels like to be healthy made him naturally cherish it more.

This time he walked down the mountain from the door of his house. He didn't choose the way down the hill on the side of the Banqiao, but the way down the hill on the side where his mother-in-law's house is located.He passed Banqiao but didn't cross the bridge, and went straight north and down the mountain.

This mountain is born in a strange way. The bridge connects the hills on both sides, but the two sides do not seem to have a mountain on each side, but it seems that the center of a mountain has been cut off, forming a gap like a canyon. .And because the canyon is not wide, it does not look like a valley after a long time, but like a deep ravine, only such a thin and deep slit, which looks quite narrow. Fan Yu often looks at this mountain and this ravine. , They all sighed in their hearts: I don't know how this place was formed.

He thought of going down the mountain to take a look, but it was because he thought that his mother-in-law got up very early every morning, and before making steamed buns with the rice flour balls that had been ground and ready to leaven the previous afternoon, she had to go down the mountain to transport water. Coming up, he wants to see how convenient this road is, so that he can help his mother-in-law carry water in the future. She is an old lady who always asks her to go down the mountain and up the mountain to carry water every day, while he is idle. But the eyes.In his mind, his impression of himself always stays on the appearance of the tough man with strength and responsibility in the past, but he never remembers that he is weaker than the old lady by more than three laps.You must know that my mother-in-law was 170 at any rate. Although she is old and shrunk now, maybe only 14 centimeters are left, but after all, she is [-] centimeters. How can it compare to him, who is now [-] years old and a child. [-] hasn't grown up yet.

A person whose mental image is seriously inconsistent with the actual image will always be shattered by reality from time to time.When he walked down the whole mountain road and was so tired that he was sitting on a rock that was not necessarily smooth and gasping for breath, he thought: Is it a recovery from a serious illness, or a little more heart.Don't jump around as soon as you get well, and don't be too late to regret what you will cause later troubles.

Although such a mountain road was nothing to him in the past, but with his current arrogance, he lowered his head and looked at his thin hands and feet, and suddenly a sense of strangeness hit him. Looking back at the mountain road I walked before, I felt that the "no problem" in the past seemed quite long now.

So he decided to take a rest at the foot of the mountain before heading back.

Every time my mother-in-law carries water, she comes to the upper reaches of the river here.Coincidentally, this river happened to be at the bottom of the valley between the two mountains. The time Fan Yu fell unconscious while cutting firewood and was rescued by his mother-in-law. He came out from her mother-in-law's house to rush to the brothel. Although he was in a hurry, he still paused for a while. Looking down from the center of Banqiao for a while, although standing high and far away, you can still feel the rush of the river, but because you stand high, you can't hear the sound of the rushing water at that time. When I got to this nearby place, I heard this sound, which was almost shocking.He didn't know if it was because he had just recovered from his illness, but whenever he heard some noises, he felt like the sky was shaking.Or maybe the sound of the water is so loud that everyone will be a little upset when listening to it.

This river is called Cangshui River, and it runs straight between the two mountains, originates in the north, and flows south. It should flow through Yunu City in this way. Maybe you can see the river in the east of Yunu City. part of it.I don't know what kind of strange place this is, there is such a north-south river, and I don't know if all the rivers in this strange place have such a direction, anyway, he has only heard of rivers flowing from west to east before, maybe he He is ignorant, maybe there are also north-south ones, but he really never heard of them in the past.

It seems that people in ancient times used a river for fishing and boating, taking the upstream water for drinking directly, the midstream water for cooking, and the downstream water for washing clothes.This seems to be the use of river water by people who live along the dredging stream, unlike people in inland towns who dig wells for water. The water in a well is used for drinking raw and cooked, and for drinking To wash clothes and take a shower.

When Fan Yu was working in a brothel in the city, he saw that there was also a well in the backyard of the brothel. They drank the water from the well at that time. Maybe the people in the city used it because the water in the section of the river in the city was not at the most upstream and not as clean as that. I'm really worried about drinking it, but it's okay to wash clothes, so I don't drink the water from the river, and the well water is much better than the river water.But Fan Yu didn't think the well water was delicious at that time, mainly because he was simply not used to drinking raw water, even if the water was from a well with better water quality.In fact, it is unacceptable to ask any modern person from the world where Fan Yu lived before to drink raw water from rivers or wells like that. There are actually quite a lot of impurities or impurities that are invisible to the naked eye. If you drink it directly, the taste is also very bad.Most people are also very particular, and they have to buy water filter equipment to filter it again before they can rest assured.And it's not just the one thing that makes you feel uneasy about drinking it, but the taste is indeed different. The more filtered the water is, the sweeter it is to drink.A long time ago, when the water source in his place was not so polluted, the well water tasted slightly sweet, because that kind of ground water was filtered by natural rock formations, so clean, it naturally restored the sweet essence of the water.

Although the river water and well water here are much better than the tap water at his place before, you can't taste the rust of the pipes, and you can't taste the chlorine gas that smells like swimming pool water. A little, very little muddy smell, this can't be avoided.Even the well water here is not satisfactory with his picky taste due to his past work, let alone the river water.

He still wants to drink water to be healthier, so that not only will he not be afraid of getting sick from the water, but also clean, pure water that restores the essence of sweetness can make almost all food taste better.He feels that he and his mother-in-law are the only ones in the family now. They are weak and their bodies are not so strong. It is better to pay attention to the entrance, and steaming the buns with filtered water can make the buns better. eat.I don't know if that can improve the reputation of the mother-in-law's small stall.
