Chapter 6, Year of Disaster.
At this point, Hu Yunxue also became concerned about Lin Chong's borrowing of grain and glanced at Xiao Mo.
If it's really not possible, go to the state capital to borrow grain and get through the drought first!
On Lin Yiyue's face, the eyebrows appear somewhat sparse, the eyes are small. After seeing Xiao Mo, Lin Yiyue smiled. This smile, unexpectedly, couldn't see the two eyes anymore.
After Xiao Mo made a comment on Lin Yiyue's appearance in his heart, Lin Yiyue said, "I heard that Ziheng's condition has improved. I came to visit him specially. I wonder if I'm disturbing Ziheng!"
After Hu Yunxue took the pulse for Xiao Mo, she placed his hand back by his side and said, "The pulse is still a bit weak. You need to take good care of yourself. Besides coming to see the Xiao family brother for medical treatment this time, Yunxue also brought a gift to give to the Xiao family brother!"
Upon hearing Xiao Mo's words, Yu Niang felt a little unhappy but didn't say anything, pouting her lips. Hu Yunxue shook her head at Xiao Mo, stood up, and said, "I'll go to the kitchen first!"
Liang An is the pen name of Lin Yiyè. Upon hearing Xiao Mo's words, Lin Yiyè burst into laughter.
Seven days! Xiao Mo was overjoyed to hear Hu Yunxue's words. He had thought he would have to lie in bed for several months, but lying in bed these days was driving Xiao Mo crazy, especially the smell on his body and the itching all over, which made it unbearable for Xiao Mo.
Offhandedly said: "In that case, call me Xiao Mo, or you can call me Zi Heng as well..." As he was speaking, Xiao Mo remembered the reaction of Yu Niang when he let her address him like that last night. He couldn't help but quickly close his mouth, anxiously looking at Hu Yunxue, not knowing if Hu Yunxue would have the same reaction as Yu Niang.
Brother Ziheng makes sense, but the river has dried up and the water level is not high enough. Our town of Changle is already several dozen zhang higher than the riverbed. How can we bring the river water up to the town?
The goddess doctor is also here, truly disrespectful!
Lin Yiyedao: "I came to visit Ziheng. Oh, by the way, Ziheng, what do you think about the matter of borrowing grain that was mentioned earlier?"
Hu Yunxue thought for a moment and said, "It depends on the specific recovery situation. If the recovery is good, it is expected that Ziheng will be able to get out of bed and walk within seven days at most!"
Xiao Mo said, "Okay," and then, afraid that Hu Yunxue wouldn't be able to find the kitchen, he said to Yu Niang, "Sister-in-law, could you please go and help Miss Yunxue?"
Xiao Mo muttered a few words to himself, then said to Lin Yiyè, "Not at all, our two families have been friends for generations. Before my illness, I had a great rapport with Brother Liang An. It's been three years, and Brother Liang An still comes to visit me, which shows that he is a man of great loyalty!"
After learning Lin Yiyue's identity, Xiao Mo said, "So it's Brother Yiyue who has come. Please come in quickly!"
Cultured people speak differently, each word is carefully chosen! Since that's the case, I cannot lower my worth. This person is just a student, while I am a scholar. How can I let him surpass me?
Hu Yunxue also nodded at Lin Yie and said, "How did Young Master Lin find the time to come today?"
It was the voice of Meng Qiuxiang. Xiao Mowen frowned upon hearing this and began searching his memories about Lin Dalang in his mind.
Hu Yunxue smiled slightly and blushed as she said, "Then I'll call you Ziheng, but I dare not call you that in front of others!"
Xiao Mo handed the box containing old mountain ginseng to Yu Niang and said, "Quickly, help me boil this!"
"So serious?" Hu Yunxue frowned when she heard this. After all, she was also a resident of Fengming Town. If the Lin family's rice shop really ran out of food, she and her father would have nowhere to buy rice.
Originally, Xiao Mo was thinking about Hu Yunxue's gift. Hu Yunxue nodded and handed Xiao Mo a wooden box. Xiao Mo took it and felt that it wasn't very heavy, so he asked, "What is this?"
However, due to the historical discontinuity here, Xiao Mo is not sure which collections and poems appeared in the history of An Dynasty. Therefore, he has been very cautious, especially when it comes to poetry. Xiao Mo remains silent. When Lin Yiyè asked, he said, "I'm not good at it. Brother Liang An, why don't you talk about this poem?"
Xiao Mo lay on the bed and heard Lin Yiyue's words, secretly thinking: Can you still die of thirst by relying on the river? These ancient people are really ignorant. So he calmly said: "In the three years of drought, Shenzhen County in Luzhou is the most severe. Tongshan Town and other towns are relatively better off because they are located near the river and have lower terrain. In fact, the three years of drought only lasted for two years! So he calmly said: "In the three years of drought, Shenzhen County in Luzhou is the most severe. Tongshan Town and other towns are relatively better off because they are located near the river and have lower terrain. In fact, the three years of drought only lasted for two years! Our Fengming Town is far from the river and the terrain is higher, so we have one less year of harvest compared to the neighboring towns. That's why we need to borrow grain. But I estimate that there is not much surplus grain left in the county now. The county magistrate also needs to reserve some grain to prevent another drought next year. So this time, Lin Shishu may not be able to borrow much grain. The most important thing is that we have to rely on ourselves and find a way to divert the water from the river to our Changle Town. That is the best strategy!"
Does that mean she comes once a day? In that case, can't we see Hu Yunxue every day?
Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Lin Yiyue suddenly slapped his thigh, looking as if he had suddenly realized something, but then he sighed. Thinking about the geographical situation of Changle Town and the idea of diverting the river water to Fengming Town seemed like a fantasy. It would be more practical to think of ways to borrow food.
Thinking of recovering faster, Xiao Mo couldn't help but shout impatiently, "Yuniang, Yuniang!"
Brother Xiao from the Xiao family, it's quite troublesome to call me like that. It would be better if Yunxue called me Xiaomo directly!
Xiao Mosui casually said a sentence. Upon hearing Hu Yunxue calling him "Brother Xiao" repeatedly, he retorted by calling her "Sister Hu" in a similar manner. Hu Yunxue gave Xiao Mosui a disdainful look and said, "No, Brother Xiao is older than Yunxue. How can you call me that way?"
"Borrowing grain?" Hu Yunxue asked, "What's going on? Is your family's grain store empty too?"
