He left He Zhen's house, put the cloth bag in his house, and took a bucket from the stove to go out.
It was already dark outside, the villagers seldom wandered outside at this time, and there was no one on the road. He carried the bucket all the way to the edge of the well in the village. Fortunately, the moonlight is brighter today. Can still see clearly.
He put the bucket down, reached out and grabbed the handle of the shaft of Inoue, and shook the bucket down. The sound of the wood shaft "creaking" was particularly evident in the silent environment.
Hearing the sound of water entering, He Ling changed direction and shook it up. The bucket filled with water was much heavier, and his speed slowed down a bit.
"He Ling?"
Someone called his name from behind, he stopped his hand, turned his head to look, the man was a little far away and couldn't see his face clearly, the man walked towards him, and He Ling recognized it only when he got closer, "Lin Sheng Big brother?"
Lin Sheng walked up to him. He had just gone to Wang Tiesheng's house in the village. After chatting for a long time, he quickened his pace and walked home. Unexpectedly, he saw someone fetching water by the well in the village, "What's wrong with the dark lights? Carrying water at this time?"
"There's no water at home, so come out and pick some!" He Ling smiled reluctantly at him, and continued the movements in his hands.
"Okay, you're being bullied again!" As he got closer, Lin Sheng saw the red slap print on his face. He shook his head and reached out to lift the bucket that had reached the edge of the well. , poured the water into He Ling's own bucket, "That family is really a bunch of hard-hearted people!"
"Brother Lin Sheng, I can do it myself!" Seeing Lin Sheng hanging the bucket back on the rope and reaching for the handle again, He Ling hurriedly refused.
"You can just wait, I'll only do two or three things, you have to shake it for a long time!" Lin Sheng pushed him away, preventing him from getting started, "You, don't be so submissive all day long, they Although you have been raised, you should pay back those who have been cows and horses all these years, and you don't owe them anything!"
"I'm fine." He Ling lowered his head, and sometimes he would think so, but after all, it was his father's relatives. If he had resentment in his heart, would his father be sad in the sky
"Let's go, I'll take you back!" The two buckets of water were full, and Lin Sheng directly carried it on his shoulders.
"Brother Lin Sheng, you can just fetch water for me. Let me carry the water myself!" It was so late, and he felt sorry for delaying Lin Sheng's return home.
Lin Sheng ignored the hand he stretched out, and walked forward with the water in his hand, "Calling me big brother won't make you cry in vain, don't worry, I'll give it to you when I get to your door, and I won't let your family know about it. of!"
He Ling had no choice but to follow behind him.
Fortunately, everyone in the family was in the house, and no one was shaking in the yard. Lin Sheng put the water in front of his house and left.
He Ling took the water back to the stove, burned He Zhen with bath water, and waited for him to clean up the mess before he returned to the room, took out the cloth bag He Zhen gave him, and rubbed the dizzy one. Head, start to do embroidery work stitch by stitch.
When the door was knocked, Qi Yue was drinking tea and chatting with Lin Sheng in the main room. He asked Lin Sheng to continue to sit and went out to open the door.
The person standing outside the door was Wu Yulan, and he said why there were still people looking for him, and he was not familiar with the villagers, "Why is my sister-in-law here? Come in, Brother Lin is here too!"
"I know, I'm here to find him!" Wu Yulan smiled at him and followed him into the door.
When the two arrived at the main room, Lin Sheng was a little surprised to see his daughter-in-law, "Why are you here?"
Qi Yue asked Wu Yulan to sit down, poured a cup of tea and put it in front of her, she thanked her, took a sip of tea, and said, "Did you see He Ling yesterday?"
Hearing the familiar name, Qi Yue's hand holding the tea cup paused, then calmly put it on his lips and took a sip before putting the cup back on the table.
"Yeah, I came back from Tie Sheng's house yesterday. On the way, I saw him fetching water by himself by the well, and the lights were dark, so I helped him!" After speaking, Lin Sheng seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly said: " What? You're not thinking about anything, are you?"
"No way, I guessed it was the case!" Wu Yulan took another sip of tea, with a look of anger on her face, "But it's unavoidable for others to think and talk nonsense!"
Today, Wu Yulan, as usual, brought her unfinished clothes, and gathered with the women in the village to do the work, and chatted about the home.
But everyone looked at her strangely, and they were talking about "what a good man sometimes misses outsiders" and "good-looking people just seduce people". She listened to these words in a fog, and after asking a few more questions, someone told him hesitantly that someone saw his family Lin Sheng and He Ling walking together last night, and they looked very close!
Wu Yulan's face was a little ugly at the moment, but it wasn't because she suspected Lin Sheng, she knew exactly what her men were like, she was angry with those tell-tales, and she talked nonsense about things that didn't make any sense, and she wasn't afraid of being rotten. Tongue!
"What?! How can this be nonsense?! Isn't it a bad guy's reputation!" Lin Sheng slapped the table angrily after hearing Wu Yulan's words. This kind of thing was nothing to him, but for an unmarried man My brother is different!
Qi Yue's fingers rubbed lightly on the rim of the cup, and his eyes were lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.
"That's not it!" Wu Yulan was also annoyed. His man was obviously kind, but he was rumored to be unbearable. He was really angry!
Lin Sheng looked at Qi Yue, who had never spoken, and gave a wry smile, "Today, I'll let Brother Qi see a joke!"
"Where!" Qi Yue removed his hand from the cup and smiled at him, "The people who pass on gossip are just people who have filth in their hearts, and those who are clean are self-cleaning, and they don't need to care too much about others!"
"Hahaha... Brother Qi's words appeal to me!" Lin Sheng raised his head with a hearty smile, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.
Qian Shi slapped He Ling's face with a slap, and immediately his cheeks became red and swollen.
"You really give me a face, it's not good to seduce anyone, go seduce that Lin Sheng!" After Qian shi beat him, his heart became a little angry, he sat down on the stool on the side, and took a sip of what Zheng shi made for her. syrup.
"That's right, seduce a landlord or something, and you can exchange some money for the family!" He Gui gave him a very disdainful look.
He Ling closed his eyes, resisted the uncomfortable feeling of dizziness in his head, and explained in a low voice, "Brother Lin Sheng is just passing by, do me a favor."
"Passing by? Help?" He Zhen let out a sneer, "I usually carry something while walking in the village and meet him, but I haven't seen him help so kindly!"
Because Lin Sheng didn't like seeing him very much, He Ling couldn't say anything, and he couldn't refute him.
"I think it's basically what you guys made an appointment for!" Qian Shi put the bowl in his hand back on the wooden table, causing the whole table to shake.
"Okay, don't smash the bowl, it's also bought by money!" He Tian yelled at her angrily, then glared at He Ling who said nothing, "You worthless, I still expect him to marry you. Can't be a small one?! Hurry up and break it for me!"
"It's not like this!" He Ling's head became more and more dizzy, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his vision became a little blurred, "I'm not with Brother Lin Sheng..."
"How dare you talk back!" Qian slapped the table, pointed at him and scolded again, "Will it be okay for a man and a brother to stay alone together? It's really a fox face, and it's messed up... "
He Ling scolded something behind him, and He Ling couldn't hear a single word. He only felt that his head was getting heavier and heavier. After that, he didn't know anything when it got dark.
"Yeah!" Zheng Shi was startled by the sudden fall of He Ling, and called out subconsciously.
He Ling took a step back, fearing that his fallen body would touch him, and fanned the dust in disgust.
Qian stopped, put down the hand pointing at him, walked up to him and kicked his leg, "Don't pretend to be dead for me!"
He Ling's eyes were tightly closed, and he was lying on the ground with a pale face, motionless.
Qian frowned, squatted down and probed his forehead, feeling a little hot, "It's really useless, it's hot again!"
He Ling was not full-term when he was born, and his body and bones were not good since he was a child. Things like falling from a fever also happened from time to time, and they didn't think it was a big deal.
"Agui, you go and invite old man Li, and prescribe two medicines, don't let him die at home, it doesn't sound good!" He Tian's buttocks didn't move from the stool, he just waved at He Gui lightly.
"Father, I saw Old Man Li riding in the Zhao family's ox cart to the town today. I'm afraid he hasn't come back yet!" Old Man Li did indeed go to the town, but He Gui also felt that he didn't feel at all. It is necessary to ask the boss to look at it, because it is expensive, maybe he can do it on his own.
He Tian didn't say a word, there is only one boss in this village, and there is no one when he is gone. He can't be brought to the town to see it. It's ugly, killing someone and being harshly treated are two different things.
Zheng's eyes rolled, as if thinking of something, she said, "Father, mother, I met Carpenter Sun's daughter-in-law some time ago, and I heard that Qi Yue had ordered a medicine cabinet at their house, and she said yes. Some medical skills, or we invite him to come and see?"
He Zhen's attention was attracted when she heard the name of her sweetheart. Knowing that the man could still have medical skills, she was very proud. As expected of the man he liked, he was so capable.
After listening to her words, He Tian didn't think much, and waved to He Gui, "Then Gui, you go..."
"Father, wait!" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Qian Shi, she patted He Zhen's hand and said, "Let Brother Zhen go!"
As soon as she said that, He Zhen understood what she meant. His cheeks were stained with red clouds, and he lowered his head shyly.
He Tian glanced at him, and his heart became clear, without saying anything, he waved at him.
