Chapter 19
The family had no land and no food, and the weather was getting colder and colder. Shan Yu was worried about what to eat in the winter, these sweet potatoes came in a good time.
“You do what I did, dig them out and put them in the basket. Be careful not to hurt the child. Grandpa Yaba and I will go over there to collect herbs. If you need anything, just shout…”
Shan Yu demonstrated to Wan Qiu how to dig them. After handing him the shovel in his hand, he turned back and walked forward with Grandpa Yaba step by step.
He was behaving like an old father; he was very worried about his little daughter who was pregnant.
Wan Qiu could tell that Shan Yu cared about him, and of course this man was his husband not a father. He waved his hand with a red face and told Shan Yu to leave in peace.
Shan Yu didn’t take a few steps before he saw the MSG tree that he had longed for. He clapped his hands and ran to the spot for a few steps, jumping up onto the tree like a monkey.
Grandpa Yaba was shocked! Thinking about Shan Yu, an ignorant man suddenly understood Chinese medicine and herbal plants. But now, he could casually jump and climb a tree in a few steps??
Was it possible that amnesia could really change a person so much?
Grandpa Yaba unconsciously thought, if he also lost his memory, would he not only be able to speak, but also be able to read?
The MSG tree was more than twenty meters high, and its pavilions were as lush as a canopy.
The original owner’s health was really bad, and the body couldn’t keep up, Shan Yu lost strength halfway up. He had to make a choice between falling to death directly or possibly falling to death by climbing down slowly, and immediately slid down the trunk of the tree to avoid death.
Friction generated heat, Shan Yu’s hands were blistered, and his crotch was on fire.
With a thud, a flock of birds started flying in the forest, and Wan Qiu also heard the sound and ran over.
Shan Yu was very grateful for the complexity of these ancient clothes. Even if his little bird were out at this moment, no one would notice his embarrassment.
.
At home, when Wan Qiu saw his clothes, he asked strangely: “Husband, why are your pants torn? Did they get torn while climbing a tree?”
Shan Yu was a little embarrassed, so he gave an ambiguous hum and changed the subject: “Is there a cellar at home?”
“Yes.” Wan Qiu sat by the fire with needlework and mended Shan Yu’s pants, looking at him with a faint look in his eyes: “Don’t you remember, husband? When you were angry, you would lock me up inside the cellar…”
Shan Yu: “…” ‘Please, pretend I didn’t ask.’
.
The village was covered in smoke, and a waning moon moved through the forest.
When Shan Yu returned to his house in the dark with his crappy coat wrapped around his body. He saw from a distance a group of officers with swords guarding the entrance to the village, and there was a lot of noise.
Thirty miles away from Mujia Village, there was a fishing village near the sea. The same poisonous fish incident occurred. The official came here to find Grandpa Yaba to save people.
“Old man, I heard that this kind of disease had appeared in your village before. Did you cure it?”
The man in a blue official uniform was young and majestic. In the night, he was wearing a veil and his face could not be seen. Only a pair of amber eyes which were very beautiful, sharp and clear.
Grandpa Yaba was frightened, and he knelt down tremblingly before the official, his heavy clothes soaked with sweat.
He dared not say yes, and he dared not say no.
The official in Tsing Yi saw Grandpa Yaba shaking his body and kowtowing to himself. He thought the old man must be afraid of his official authority, so he softened his tone and said, “You don’t have to be afraid. I’m just asking you how to treat the illness and I won’t embarrass you.”
Shan Yu hurriedly got into the crowd and explained Grandpa Yaba’s situation to the officials, and asked to go together.
The official heard Shan Yu speaks clearly and calmly, and his attitude toward him was neither humble nor arrogant. He looked at Shan Yu with interest, and after examining him carefully from head to toe for a long time, he agreed.
