Through the small days of farming

When it was close to noon, Bai Niannian ate two roasted sweet potatoes, and ate a lot of chestnuts and hawthorns. He was not hungry. Today's harvest was good, so he was going to head home.

Not long after Bai Niannian came down the mountain with a full load in one hand, he saw his two cubs waiting for him at the entrance of the village!

The fatigue of the body flew away at once, and he walked towards them happily, and found that something seemed wrong. Why were his two cubs rubbing their eyes?

He directly carried the two things and ran over, only to find that his two cubs had red eyes, and they were crawling into his arms while wiping away their tears.

"It's okay, brother is here." He threw the things in his hand aside and hugged the two cubs, comforting them with a gentle tone, and patted their backs gently, "Aren't you back now?" ?”

The two cubs cried in his arms for a while before recovering. Bai Niannian knelt down and gently wiped the tears from their faces, "What happened? Don't be afraid, brother will protect you. Man Bleeding but not tears, you can't just cry casually in the future, you know? It's a waste of emotion to cry for those you hate. "

The two cubs stopped crying and looked at him in confusion.

Bai Niannian cleared the faces of the two cubs one by one, "It's okay if you don't understand now, just remember, you will understand when you grow up, now tell brother what happened? They both turned into two It's a little cat."

Chen Mingde cried too much just now, and now he stopped and hiccupped. He didn't know how long he had been waiting here, how long he had been crying... Someone dared to bully his cub, thinking of this, he had the urge to kill.

In the last days, he also saw blood.

"Just now uncle came to our house with sister-in-law to grab things. We didn't open the door to let them in. They broke in while Da Ya came to our house to play, and took away all our things, brother Your clothes and the half chicken and rice..." Chen Mingli wanted to cry as he spoke, thinking of what his brother said just now, although he didn't quite understand it, but he knew what his brother said 'a man bleeds but not tears' , he is now the eldest son of the family, a man, he wants to protect his elder brother and younger brother, he can't cry! "My brother and I can't stop them."

"It's okay, brother will bring back all the things, don't be afraid, first take younger brother to Aunt Chen's house to treat the wound, brother will go and get things back later." Chen Mingde had a big scratch on his hand. The lump was bloody, and it looked scary, but Chen Mingli didn't look like anything.

"Where is Mingli injured?" As he said, Bai Niannian would lift up his clothes, thinking that he could go home and then take off his pants to check.

"Hiss..." Bai Niannian took a deep breath, Ming Li's waist was bruised and purple with a slap-sized spot, and he felt very painful just looking at it, "Is there any pain on Ming De's body?"

"No, we went to stop them. My brother was pushed down hard by them and hit the table, and I fell to the ground." Chen Mingde had tears in his eyes. Seeing that his brother was not crying, he forcibly held back his tears and said in a sobbing tone.

"Brother Nian, you are back, alas, you don't know, these two little guys won't listen to any persuasion, and insist on waiting here for you, I brought the things, quickly treat their wounds." Aunt Chen hurriedly He walked over and said out of breath.

"Thank you, Aunt Chen." Bai Niannian took the things, squatted down in front of Chen Mingde, and stretched out his hands in front of him, "It may hurt a little. Our Mingde is a good boy, bear with it, if it hurts, Brother Yao Let's do it."

Bai Niannian carefully cleaned up the foreign matter on the wound, then sprinkled the medicine powder brought by Aunt Chen on it, and wrapped it up with a clean cloth.

The medicine powder was very painful, Mingde gritted his teeth and endured it, instead of biting his hand, Bai Niannian kissed his forehead, and said: "Mingde is such a good boy, brother, I like you the most, now brother I went to see the doctor with my brother, and you and Aunt Chen went to his house and waited for my brother to come back, okay?"

Chen Mingde blinked, tears fell, he wiped away the tears with his hands indiscriminately, and looked at him pleadingly, "I won't make trouble, I want to go with my brother..."

Bai Niannian said to Aunt Chen with red eyes, asking him to help bring the things home, and he was going to take Chen Mingli to see a doctor.

"Brother, it's okay, I don't need to go to the doctor..." Chen Mingli comforted, "It just looks scary, it will be fine in a few days."

Bai Niannian squatted in front of him without saying a word, "Come on, bro, I'll take you to see the doctor, don't worry, bro, I still have a silver hairpin hidden, it's from my dowry, pawn it, wait After Mingli makes money, can I buy a good one for my brother? Don't be afraid, brother will watch you grow up, get married and have children."

Only now did Chen Mingli climb onto his shoulder silently, and whispered in his ear, "Brother, I'm in so much pain, do I want to..."

Bai Niannian felt the wetness on his neck, tried his best to suppress the soreness in his nose, and said affirmatively, "It's okay, it's definitely okay, the doctor in the town is very good, Mingli will definitely be fine..."

He carried Mingli on his back, Mingde led him by the corner of his clothes, one big and two young, walked towards the town with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Aunt Chen looked at their lonely backs, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and sighed: "Aren... If you don't go home, this family will be gone!"

I don't know if the internal organs were injured. If the internal organs were injured, with the backward medical skills of ancient times, in such a small town, is there a doctor who can treat internal injuries?

Now he can only try his best to walk on flat things, and he dare not even walk on a bullock cart, for fear that the bumps will hurt him a second time.

With someone on his back, Bai Niannian gritted his teeth and walked towards the town step by step, not daring to stop for a moment, for fear of being a step late.

The pain in the feet no longer hurts, the blisters on the soles of the feet have been worn out, and there is a feeling of numbness, and Mingla has never let go of his clothes, and some regret taking him to the town up.

Chen Mingde followed him every step of the way with a stubborn face. No one spoke on the road, so they walked in silence. They walked for an unknown amount of time before reaching the town. Before entering the town, Bai Niannian took the bamboo slips filled with water in the space He took out the bowl with roasted sweet potatoes, put them in a bamboo basket, and let Mingde carry them. As soon as he entered the town, he went to the shop where he bought rags last time, and temporarily put Chen Mingde and Chen Mingli in their shop. He is also a good person, and even brought out some pastries for them to eat.

"Brother, go out and be a silver hairpin, come back soon, wait for me here." After saying that, he walked to the back room of the shop, washed himself up, and hurried out the back door to the gambling house in the town.

In fact, what kind of silver hairpin is there? When he got married, the two brothers in the family really wanted to deduct all his things.

"I'm looking for your white manager." He avoided people and came to the back door of the casino.

"Walk, walk, this is not the place for people like you to come." The guard at the gate chased him away, "Is it possible for you to see our white manager?"

"This little brother, please help me, I really have something very important to ask him, just tell him, it's enough for an old friend to come to him." Bai Niannian begged, anxious like an ant on a hot pot , round and round.

Seeing that he didn't look like a person who came to this kind of place, the guard at the door wanted him to leave, but he didn't think he seemed to really know Guanshi Bai. Seeing his anxious look, he said, "You wait here, I will go in and notify you. He said, I don't know if Guanshi Bai will see you."

"Thank you." Bai Niannian nodded, looking forward to it.

"Brother Nian!" Bai Huasheng saw that it was him, and congratulated him in his heart that he was bored, so he came out to meet this so-called 'old friend', "Are you finally willing to come and see me?"

"It's not convenient to talk here, can you go in and talk?" Bai Niannian's calm words poured cold water on his head, extinguishing his joy.

Bai Huasheng lowered his hand weakly, and led him inside, "Come in, you go and watch outside, I won't see anyone today."

"Okay, let's talk here." Bai Niannian saw that there was no one around, and he couldn't see the situation outside.

"Brother Nian, how have you been all these years?" Bai Huasheng asked.

"I want to borrow a loan shark." Bai Niannian looked into his eyes and said softly.

"usury?"

Bai Niannian knew that even if he found someone else, they would still be sent to Bai Huasheng, so it was better to find Bai Huasheng directly. He didn't want to get involved with him in the past with the original owner.

"If you are short of money, I can lend it to you first." Bai Huasheng swallowed what he wanted to ask why, and asked bitterly.

"No need," Bai Niannian shook his head, "I don't want to get involved with you anymore, if it doesn't work, I'll go to the next door and ask. Although I don't look very good, it's because I'm young."

"Are you threatening me?"

Bai Niannian nodded honestly, and looked at him stubbornly, "Well, I'm in a hurry to use the money."

"I understand."

After getting the money, Bai Niannian walked back immediately, seeing Bai Huasheng's hesitant expression, he was not in the mood to talk to him now, and didn't even bother to look at him, so he hurried to the cloth shop.

After thanking the owner of the cloth shop, he carried Chen Mingli on his back and walked to the town's clinic.

"It hit the corner of the table. The doctor has a quick look to see if there is any problem."

The doctor took the pulse and pressed the acupuncture points on his body, and asked him if it hurts. Chen Mingli shook his head, and when he touched a certain place, he said that there was a little pain.

Seeing the doctor examine Ming Li carefully, his face was not as serious as it was at first, and he let go of his hanging heart.

"No serious problem, the internal organs are only slightly injured. I am young, and I will be fine after taking medicine for a few months. However, the cost of the medicine..."
