Picking up a fool to farm

Huayang County is located in a remote area, and there are several villages around the county seat that are mainly agricultural.And Yan Chenyi's village is the closest to the county seat, so the conditions are the best compared to other villages.

Holding a paper lantern in his hand, and a small cloth bag on his shoulder, which contained a water pouch, bamboo tubes, two rough-faced steamed buns, and some emergency medicine pills, Yan Chenyi went out and walked to the back of the mountain.

A few days ago, when he was walking with Uncle Li, he walked the road to the back mountain. It was not far, but the dirt road was not easy to walk. If it rained, the road might be stuck.

"Xiaoyan going up the mountain?"

"Well, go to the mountains to pick up some grass leaves while it's bright."

"Xiao Yan went to Houshan and don't come back too late, I heard that there are wolves!"

"Got it, uncle, walk slowly, and be careful not to trip over your feet."

"Has Xiaoyan eaten yet?"

"Eat, just finished eating."

Walking all the way to the back of the mountain, I met many villagers who just came back from the fields and greeted me. Although Yan Chenyi could not remember everyone's last name, he still answered them with a smile. The reason why people like him.

Let's put it this way, since he came to the village alone at a young age, it was easy to win the sympathy of others.Furthermore, Yan Chenyi was educated and literate. Some of the sons and daughters of uncles and aunts in the village either married or worked in other places, so they would entrust him to write letters.

He also has a warm-hearted smile, and everyone in the village knows him when he comes and goes, and he likes to help him with trivial things.To put it bluntly, out of sympathy and distress, he is a young boy, nothing more.

Yan Chenyi has also figured out the pattern these days. Although he doesn't know how to count the time by looking at the sun, he probably knows that every morning at six or seven o'clock, the men and women in the village will go to work in the fields, and then ten o'clock. From one o'clock to one o'clock, I would come back to eat and then go to the field. Sometimes when it was too hot or it was windy and rainy, I would take shelter in a simple house not far from the field.

I came back from the field at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, had dinner and chatted with neighbors, and basically went to bed around eight o'clock.

There are no evening activities in the village, and it is still early in the dark, so I go to bed early.

At first Yan Chenyi was not used to this kind of life of going to bed early, but fortunately he was busy in the yard every day, sometimes he went to bed early when he was sleepy.

"Xiao Yan, what are you thinking? You are so cheerful." Uncle Li walked face to face with him, carrying a hoe and a wooden bucket in his hand.

"Uncle Li," Yan Chenyi greeted him with a smile, "Thank you uncle for planting the tree for me. Just now I told Aunt Wang that I will definitely be able to eat peaches this year."

"Don't water the peach tree too much. Put some fertilizer on it after a while. Are you going to the back mountain?" Uncle Li couldn't help laughing when he saw that he was carrying a small bag, "Why didn't you take a bucket? The water in the Kaichun River has melted, and we can catch a lot of fish." Then he showed him the bucket he was carrying, and there were quite a few live fish in it, and they were quite big.

"Wow, that's so good, then I'll go back and get a bucket." Yan Chenyi leaned over in surprise, turned around and walked back with Uncle Li.

"You just fish by the river, don't go deep, the river is too dangerous now." Standing outside the courtyard gate, watching him take a wooden bucket and go out, Uncle Li handed over the big net bag he used to catch fish. Him, "Will it work?"

"Yes, sprinkle it in and wait for a while to drag it out." Taking the fishing net and making a throwing motion, Yan Chenyi shook his head, "Uncle, I will send the net back to you tomorrow."

"No, you just need to use it. I won't bother you if I ask your aunt to make up another one." Uncle Li raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Go, go back early when it's bright."

"Well, uncle, I'm leaving." Waving to Uncle Li, Yan Chenyi happily ran towards the back mountain with a bucket and net in his hands.

……

The scenery of the back mountain is very good. The weather in early spring is breezy, very cool but not cold.

There are also small grass leaves growing on the ground, which may be due to the high water vapor in the mountains, and a smell of earth.

Yan Chenyi sniffed while walking, sniffing here and there, bouncing around like a little sparrow.

Finding the flowering river along the mountain road, Yan Chenyi looked at it with his mouth wide open and muttered to himself.

"It's so wide. This village is really a good location, with mountains and rivers." He shook the fishing net in his hand and checked the size. It was okay, not a big one, but a small one.

He scooped some water from the river with a wooden bucket, washed it and put it aside, held both sides of the fishing net with both hands, shook it vigorously, and then threw the net into the river along with the weight of the iron awl attached to the outside of the fishing net.

He blinked, and found a few big rocks from the side to press on the fishing net on the shore to prevent it from being washed away by the water. Then he tilted his head and thought for a while, as if there was nothing wrong with using it like this.

He turned his head and looked around, but there was no one there.

The corner of Yan Chenyi's mouth curled up, and he bent down to try the water temperature, it was so cool that his hands were a little cold.

He pursed his lips a little dissatisfied, if the water temperature was not too cold, he could go down to the river to take a bath or something, but now it seems impossible, the water is too cold, he will definitely have cramps when he goes down.

Feeling a little regretful, he stretched out his hand to shake in the river again, and finally stood up.

Forget it, come back in a few days when it gets warmer.

Looking at the bushes on the left and right, he put the barrel back and walked into the woods with a small bag on his back.

There was no one anyway, and he would just have to come back later and find the fish after he finished looking for branches and leaves.

Yan Chenyi walked around in the woods, but found nothing.

Let's put it this way, although he knew that the weather in early spring could catch some bugs, but his bugs were either out of reach on the trees, or they had already run away when they heard the sound, and he actually saw a gray rabbit , but he could only watch helplessly as the rabbit hopped away from him with its ears pricked up.

He can't catch up.

In the end, he just picked up some branches and came back. After all, it was getting dark, and he was not familiar with the way in the forest. It would be dangerous if he got lost.

When he was walking towards the river, he was stunned when he saw it from a distance, and quickly ran over with the lantern in his hand. When he saw it, he was completely dumbfounded.

Who can tell him why he only caught a fish in the next net but managed to catch a corpse? Isn't that too bloody?

The corpse was pale, with wounds on the head and both hands, and if you looked closely, the wounds seemed to be bleeding slightly.

Yan Chenyi blinked, although he is only 16 years old now, but his mental age is 25, so he still has some courage.

"Still alive?" After staring at the "corpse" for a while, he noticed that his chest was rising and falling slightly, so he quickly stretched out his hand and dragged the person ashore with all his strength to turn the ground.

This person's clothes were hung on the fishing net. If Yan Chenyi hadn't come back at this moment, even if he was more than ten minutes late, this person would probably be washed away by the river.

"Phew, he's really dead." Yan Chenyi exhaled and looked at the man, raised his eyebrows and said that he looks really good, but this man has obviously been soaked in the river for a long time, and he can still hang himself It's not easy to take a breath.

But the man was quite tall, even if Yan Chenyi wanted to save him, he didn't have the strength to move him back, so he could only give the man artificial respiration, at least let him spit out the water.

He took out the emergency hemostatic medicine he carried in the cloth bag and sprinkled it on the wound on the man's forehead, and then looked at the man's clothes. The material was much better than what he wore, mainly because it felt slippery.

"If you wake up, go by yourself. If you don't wake up, wait for me to come back to save you." Mumbling, Yan Chenyi dragged the man by the armpit and dragged him aside again, then held the lantern Run to the village.

……

"Little Yan, are you going to take this man back?" Uncle Li led a few strong men from the village up the mountain with Yan Chenyi, and frowned when he saw the man lying on the ground.

Yan Chenyi is fishing nets in the river right now, it's okay, there are three big fish in the nets, he didn't make a trip in vain.

Hearing Uncle Li's voice, he nodded, put the fish into the barrel, and walked over with the barrel in hand, "Uncle Li, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Even though you don't know him, you can't just watch him walk along the road." The river was washed away, I saw that he was not seriously injured, let's take him back to the village and let Uncle Meng show him." Uncle Meng is a barefoot doctor in the village, the old man is 80 years old, but his legs and feet are stable, and he is still healthy. He likes to drink, and he is good at seeing doctors, at least he can cure some not serious problems.

Uncle Li sighed, and directed the other three people to carry the stretcher on one side, put the man who passed out on the ground on the temporary stretcher, and carry them down the mountain.

Yan Chenyi held a lantern in his left hand, a wooden barrel in his right hand, a wet fishing net on his shoulder and a small cloth bag tied around his waist, walking in front of everyone to light up.

"Uncle Li, take this man to my house. After all, I picked it up, so I can't cause you any trouble." Yan Chenyi turned his head to pay attention to the man's condition while walking, and was a little worried when he saw that he was still unconscious.

Uncle Li frowned, but did not refute.

"Xiao Yan, if there is something wrong with this person, you can't tell." Uncle Wang on the other side sighed, thinking that Yan Chenyi was too kind.

Yan Chenyi waved his hands indifferently and smiled, and didn't speak any more.

In fact, he wasn't meddling in other people's business, he always felt that after all, it was a human life, and he could help as much as he could.Besides, it was just letting this person live in his home for a while, and he didn't care about that.

Uncle Li and the others helped put him on Yan Chenyi's bed, and then they invited Doctor Meng over to let him take a look.

The beard of the old man was all white, he frowned while taking his pulse with his eyes closed, and shook his head from time to time, Yan Chenyi was sweating coldly at the side with that expression, thinking he couldn't be so small, this man couldn't be saved?

"Um……"

"hiss……"

"Tsk..."

The old man kept making unknown noises.

Yan Chenyi was really irritated by his tone, he quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it over, and asked, "Uncle Meng, what's the matter with this man?"

The old man opened his eyes and turned to look at him, then stretched out his hand to pull the man's eyelids, looked with his left eye and looked at his right eye, and then waved his hand.

"It's okay, it's as strong as a cow, but it may have hit its head when it fell into the river, and after soaking in the river for so long, it won't wake up for a while."

The corner of Yan Chenyi's mouth twitched, heaved a sigh of relief.

Old man, you are really good at scaring people.

"It's good that you're fine. Uncle Meng, you can prescribe some herbal medicine. I'll go to the pharmacy in the county to buy it tomorrow morning."

"Well, it's just Xiaoyan. If you take this person in, you have to be careful. I guess he may have to struggle for a few days." Uncle Meng told him while writing the prescription with a brush, "Look at his good fortune, I bring it here. You can dissolve a few pills with water and feed him later, if you have a high fever at night, you will be tired."

Yan Chenyi nodded repeatedly, marked the old man's instructions, and sent the old man out again.

"If Xiaoyan has something to do, call home, and I'll go back too." Uncle Li supported the old man and waved to him.

"Oh, I remember." Yan Chenyi watched the two go back, then turned and entered the room.
