The medicine of rebirth

Chapter 261 Hanamaki, come again

The next day the weather was fine, Su Banxi had a good night's sleep, and the high fever subsided after waking up the next day, but there was still a slight residual heat when she touched her forehead, and Ning Chen strictly ordered her to stay at home and not go out with her.

As for Zheng Miao, Zhao Zhong and Lin Qiao who stayed last night, they left after breakfast. No one knows where they left, but it has nothing to do with Ning Chen.

Ning Chen always seemed absent-minded when he went to work on the mountain, and was caught and laughed at by the Liu brothers, Qiu Ming and the others. Ning Chen raked his hair and patted Su Wen's touching hand away, "Qiu Zi" Brother, do you think people are hopelessly greedy? Wang Cui is, Fang Sheng is, Chen Xiuxiu, Su Lin, they are all, and now even your grandma has come to your door to say such things, watching you last night With Xixi like that, I feel a little pain here."

Ning Chen pointed to the position of his heart, and looked at Su Wen who was standing in front of him and rubbing the back of his hand.

I feel sorry for her why a girl has to bear so much, obviously he has been moving forward this year, wanting to give her the greatest protection and safety, but at that time he can't even stand up and say a word, then This kind of heavy heart has been pressing on his heart, which made him not sleep well all night.

Su Wen has always seen the warmth and warmth of the interaction between the two of them. In fact, he has long wondered in his heart why the two of them have such a good relationship and refuse to get married. Su Banxi is a girl, even though she is from a different place, she is also a thin-skinned girl. So Su Wen didn't ask Su Banxi about this question, he wanted to ask Ning Chen, but he couldn't find anyone a few times, or Ning Chen was always busy, so he couldn't bother him, so he kept procrastinating. Arrived today.

Pulling Ning Chen over to the side where no one was around, he asked in a low voice with the hoe in his hand: "Xiaochen, tell me the truth, why don't you and Xiaoxi have any intention of getting married until now, don't say anything to me It's been more than a year, even if you don't have feelings, you still have feelings, not to mention that you and Xiaoxi have always had a good relationship."

Ning Chen pursed the corners of his lips: "It's nothing, it's just that it's inconvenient to say some things to Brother Wenzi, but don't worry, I will marry Xixi one day sooner or later, Brother Wenzi, you have to prepare a big wedding The red envelope!"

He didn't mention Su Banxi's reason, so the two people's marriage has been dragged on until today without any results, and they never even got engaged. It's no wonder that Ning Chen often feels irritable, but he covers it up very well , did not appear to embarrass Su Banxi.

He loves Su Banxi, so he will not use this kind of thing to embarrass her, even if it is his own pain, it doesn't matter.

Su Wen looked at the nonchalant Ning Chen in a speechless manner, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind and approached Ning Chen to ask, "Could it be that you kid did something to offend my little Xi outside, right?"

Apart from Su Wen, I really can't think of any other reason, which is so important that the two would rather be criticized like this than get married. When Su Wen asked such words, Ning Chen, who was opposite, had a faint smile on his face. Uncomfortable, although it was short-lived, it still fell into Su Wen's eyes, so Su Wen's heart was full of anger, if he hadn't worried about people coming around, he would have held Ning Chen down and beat him up.

Looking at Su Wen's flaming eyes, Ning Chen knew that Su Wen had misunderstood, and opened his mouth to explain, but if he said this, it was Su Banxi's problem, so he didn't want it. As for Su Wen's misunderstanding, let's just misunderstand!
But before leaving, I still said something to Su Wen: "It's not what you think, I'll go back to see Xixi later, and bring you food later."

Su Wen swung the hoe in his hand or nodded and watched Ning Chen go down the mountain.

The terrain here is suitable for the growth of some herbs, so the Su family simply went to the village chief to lease the entire mountain area, and hired young people in the village who did not go out to find work to do the work. They can't bear this hardship, so instead of paying a day's wages for a day's work, they make up the monthly money at the end of the month just like Yuning Town. At the beginning, many young people were not happy. Su Shi and Su Asked the two did not force.

The last ones left are Qiuming who can’t go to the town to find a job to take care of the children, and the two Liu brothers. Occasionally, Shanming will come to help. Generally speaking, they are still busy. It’s just that it’s the harvest season. Su Banxi still had to bring someone from the town to help collect them, but when that busy time passed, there would be a few months of free time to serve them.

Mrs. Zhao was waking up in the kitchen, when she saw Ning Chen coming back through the window, she greeted her: "Xiao Chen is back? Are you hungry? Mother just steamed meat buns. You should eat two puffs first. Xiaoxi felt a little uncomfortable and went back to sleep, she probably hasn't woken up yet!"

Ning Chen, who originally wanted to see Su Banxi, paused, turned around and went to the well to get water to wash his hands. After going to the kitchen, Mrs. Zhao had already put the steaming meat buns on the plate, and there was a serving on the side. A bowl of yellow millet porridge was served, and the little pickles made by Mrs. Zhao at home were refreshing, sweet and delicious, and they went very well with the meal.

"Mom, have you eaten yet?" Ning Chen asked while drinking millet porridge, looking at Mrs. Zhao who was still busy. In fact, what he wanted to ask was whether Su Banxi had an appetite for something to eat today.

With his little thoughtfulness, he could keep others busy, but he couldn't hide it from Mrs. Zhao. She grabbed some flour and sprinkled it on the chopping board, and then began to make flower rolls swiftly. Su Banxi taught Mrs. Zhao to make this stuff. Shi started to make it within a few days, and the shape it made was beautiful and not easy to disperse. Su Shi loved it the most, so the Su family would make it every few days, which attracted people who worked for the Su family. Full of praise.

Mrs. Zhao used a small brush to dip some green oil on the dough and evenly brushed it on the dough. The stuffing that had been mixed in advance exuded a salty and fresh taste. Hey, Xiaoxi hasn't been sick like this for a long time, and she will be sick for a few days. She has been a little childish for more than a year, and she refuses to take medicine, so mother has no choice but to let her suffer Made some ginger tea, Xiaochen, didn’t you learn medical skills from Xiaoxi in the town? Why don’t you grab a pair of wind-cold medicine and give Xiaoxi to drink it, otherwise it’s not a way to go on like this!”

Ning Chen swallowed the pork in his mouth, and his mouth was full of fragrance. The fat and thin were evenly matched with the granular cabbage stalks and cabbage leaves inside to just dilute the greasyness of the pork, and the millet porridge cooked right beside it was also very well neutralized. This taste makes people want to eat more and more, and refreshing pickles and millet porridge are a perfect match, so that Ning Chen, who had no appetite, drank two more bowls, ate three meat buns and made one full. Meat-scented belches, looking embarrassedly at Mrs. Zhao who was smiling and staring at him.

"Yes, yes, but Xixi once said that the medicine is three-point poisonous, and I will never drink medicine until the most necessary moment. I just learned a little bit, and I dare not take medicine for Xixi to drink casually, or else I'll go in first to see if Xixi is awake, and then I'll ask her what she means."

Ning Chen also knew that the medicine was three-point poisonous, but if Su Banxi was seriously ill, even if he didn't take the medicine, he would watch her drink it with his own eyes. After all, the body is the most important thing.

Mrs. Zhao thought for a while and then nodded: "Yes, go and see if Xiaoxi is awake first. If she is awake, ask her what she wants to eat, and mother will make it for her."

Ning Chen turned around and left the kitchen with a groan, so he didn't see Mrs. Zhao looking at his back thoughtfully, and finally shook her head lightly and laughed. It really is that they are old, and the thoughts of these children are not at all elusive Thoroughly, if it was someone else's family, the two children have been together for more than a year, and they might have children already, but Xiaochen and Xiaoxi are indeed so weird, they don't pay attention to other people's attention. In her eyes, there was no sign of getting married, and if she, a mother, said she was not worried, it would be a lie to outsiders.

But she and Da Lang had promised Xiao Xi that she would decide on her own marriage. Although they were parents, they couldn't force the child to do things she didn't like. Let them worry about it by themselves, and think about what kind of flower patterns should be embroidered on Xiao Xi's clothes next.

Su Banxi didn't know anyone for a long time, but her head was buzzing so that she couldn't fall asleep. She was in a daze when she heard the soft footsteps of someone coming, so she turned over and squinted her eyes at Ning Chen, her voice was very loud. It was hoarse, which made Ning Chen frowned and hurried forward to sit on the kang and hold him in his arms. His cold palm was pressed against Su Banxi's hot forehead, and he said in a low voice: "Xixi, you must drink medicine. You can see what it looks like, when you burn it, be careful not to burn you stupidly."

Su Banxi wanted to shake her head, but she didn't even have the strength to shake her head. She was so hot that she felt unbearable. Seeing this, she had no choice but to nod and whispered the prescription of wind-cold medicine, asking Ning Chen to go to her room to grab the medicine and drink it first. Ning Chen also There is no way, put her back to sleep, covered her with a quilt and told her: "Don't kick the quilt, just cover it up and sweat it out before drinking and taking medicine!"

Wiping off the hot sweat from Su Banxi's forehead, Ning Chen said in a very gentle tone, Su Banxi's eyes flickered, and finally closed her eyes with a hum from her throat, waiting for Ning Chen to boil the traditional Chinese medicine before getting up to drink .

First went to Su Banxi's room to grab the medicine and went back to the kitchen, and told Mrs. Zhao that the smell of traditional Chinese medicine might smell like flower rolls, so Ning Chen took the medicine bag, the small stove and the medicine pot and ran to the back room to boil the medicine. .

Mrs. Zhao made all the flower rolls. After thinking about it, she grabbed some round-grained rice and cooked some white porridge for Su Banxi, and put it in the boiler to warm it up. Ning Chen was still boiling the medicine. Mrs. Zhao told him that they would send it to her when she went to Su. For dinner, let Ning Chen take good care of Su Banxi at home. Ning Chen wanted to say that he would go, but was rejected by Mrs. Zhao: "No need, there is not a long way to go. Xiaoxi is most afraid of taking medicine, and she has to make a fuss for a long time every time." I am willing to drink it, I am too old to stand her tossing, she will listen to what you say, you should watch her at home, I will be back soon."

Speaking of this, it is impossible for Ning Chen to refuse, but to ask Mrs. Zhao to be careful and pour the boiled medicine out of the medicine jar. The strong and bitter taste came to the nostrils. Ning Chen thought of the medicine in the kitchen. The next time they came back, there should be some preserved fruit made by Su Banxi, so she brought the medicine to the kitchen. Looking at the white and tender porridge in the pot, she dug out the preserved fruit from the cabinet, filled it with white rice porridge, and took it to the room together.

Su Banxi's throat was sore and smoky. When she saw Ning Chen coming in, she said softly that she wanted to drink water. Ning Chen recalled that there seemed to be no hot water in the kitchen, so she coaxed Su Banxi to drink some porridge first. When she saw the bowl of black black Su Banxi's face wrinkled like a steamed bun when Wu took the wind-cold medicine, "Can I not drink it?"

Ning Chen didn't hear it, helped Su Banxi up and leaned against her arms, and handed the medicine bowl to her lips. The determination was obvious. Su Banxi curled her lips, and finally drank the wind-cold medicine in one gulp, the bitterness spread in her mouth After opening, his brows were tightly frowned, but Ning Chen stuffed something into his mouth soon after, the sweetness quickly washed away the strong bitter taste of the medicine.

"Lie down and sleep for a while, I'll go and boil some hot water." Touching Su Banxi's forehead, Ning Chen's eyebrows were wrinkled and never let go. Su Banxi had no strength but nodded and fell into a drowsy sleep .

When I opened my eyes again, the room was pitch black, only the dots of flames coming from the main room were shining, and the faint smell of rice made Su Banxi's stomach rumble, and I don't know if Ning Chen could pinch it. Huisuan even opened the heavy curtain at this time and walked in. Not only was there a bowl of porridge on the wooden tray, but also candlesticks, instantly lighting up the room.

"Eat something when you wake up." Ning Chen's service is very thoughtful, the temperature of the porridge is just right, and there is a little bit of fresh fragrance. It can be seen that there is something added in it, which is completely different from the bowl that I drank at noon today. No, plus I was hungry, so Ning Chen, who was watching Su Banxi's drink quickly, felt distressed and helpless, so he could only pat her head and said, "Get well soon and I'll roast a rabbit for you!"

"It was a bit noisy just now, did someone come to the house again? Who is it?" Su Banxi, who had had a bowl of porridge, was not in a hurry when she took the second bowl, she made room to ask Ning Chen, and also took a look by candlelight What was Ning Chen's facial expression? Ning Chen didn't pay attention to her little gesture at all, and lifted his eyelids lazily.

Put the refreshing side dishes of porridge in Su Banxi's bowl, put down the chopsticks and said, "Who else is it? Naturally, it's your grandmother and the others. This time they brought Lin Qiao and his parents along. The main room is very lively. But my mother didn't agree to let the two of them work in the medicinal food workshop, and now they were arguing, and I suddenly found that our mother was also quite eloquent, and they were speechless with a few words, but I couldn't bear to leave, so I sat in the main room and stalemate, don't tell me you still have to join in the fun, leave this matter to your mother, don't go outside to catch the cold if you are still ill."

Su Banxi swallowed the last sip of porridge in the bowl, opened her mouth to swallow the side dish that Ning Chen brought over, chewed and swallowed it twice, without bothering to lift her eyelids, she said mockingly:
"This is the nature of human beings. If it wasn't for Wang Cui and the others who promised to stop meddling with your business, you can see who will get involved first. But it is precisely in this way that you can see a person's nature more clearly. In the past, when our family was so poor, I didn’t see my grandma and the others come to visit, and there was no sign of anyone. Now that we heard that our family opened a medicinal food shop in the town, they eagerly chased us and used language to kidnap us and let us hire our own family members. If they have real talents and pure nature, even if I can't let them do easier jobs, I will let them enter the hospital and pharmacy to find a job, but things backfired."

Ning Chen stared at Su Banxi for a long time and silently packed up the dishes, then said: "Xixi, I've already made up my mind, let's do as you said before, my parents are honest and easy to be hurt by others." Bullying, even though they have been buried in the ground for 11 years, I still don’t want them to die in ignorance, and let the murderer go unpunished.” He was still wandering around in front of him all day long, and the aggrieved feeling in his heart cannot be described in any words from.

The reason why he considered it for more than a year is entirely because of Su Banxi's relationship. He didn't want to see her too tired, so he put aside his parents' affairs first, and waited for their business in the town to stabilize. Now is a good time Wang Cui Fangsheng was terrified by the method Su Banxi came up with more than a year ago. He invited the dance god from the next village to do several exorcisms, but Wang Cui's illness was always good and bad. For the better, it would be a good excuse and a good time to propose an autopsy at this time.

Su Banxi hummed, and Ning Chen went out to make medicine. She turned her head and looked at the hazy moonlight outside the window. The faint cold light seemed to prick Su Banxi's eyes, making the corners of her eyes a little red. She raised her hand to cover half of her face , the smile outlined on the corner of her mouth was chilling, but it was fleeting. She knew that Ning Chen had gone out to make medicine for her, so she didn't say much, but checked her own pulse. After thinking about it, she got up and put on Put on thick clothes and go out.

I don't know what Mrs. Zhao and the others said. Lin Qiao's mother was crying in a low voice. Su Shi and Su Wen's faces were like the bottom of a pot. When they saw Su Banxi coming in, they immediately restrained themselves, but Su Banxi still saw it in their eyes. , so he was even more dissatisfied with Zheng Miao and others.

She is not the real Su Banxi, she doesn't have much relationship with Zheng Miao and the others, and she doesn't feel ashamed of them.

With frost in the corner of his eyes, he looked at Zheng Miao and the others. Without Mrs. Zhao helping her, he walked up to Su Shi and sat down beside Su Shi. Don't come out and walk around before you recover, be careful, Xiao Chen didn't look at you when the cold was getting worse?" She was obviously going to deliver food to her, why did Xiao Xi not see Ning Chen following her when she came out?
Hearing the doubts in Su Wen's words, Su Banxi said lightly: "He's gone to make medicine."

Su asked, but still felt that something was wrong. After thinking for a long time, she realized that Su Banxi didn't tell her what was going on with her body. She just looked at Su Banxi's pale face, no blood on her lips, and her Adam's apple rolled to the end, but there was nothing. speak out.

Lin Qiao's mother, Zhao Xue, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes while looking at Su Banxi and said, "This is Xizi, I haven't seen you for a long time. She has grown into a big girl, and she is capable of doing business in the town by herself." No words Any question, but it is not the same thing in the ears of everyone present. No matter how you hear it, there is a sour taste and unconcealable hatred.

Su Banxi, as if she didn't hear it, responded lightly and stopped talking, and the scene suddenly became embarrassing and condensed.
