After the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, most of the villagers visited relatives and friends. The lively atmosphere of the New Year holiday finally became quieter. The sky was clear this day, and He An was watering forty or fifty pots of flowers and plants neatly arranged.

It has been planted these years ago, and now it has grown to the height of the palm.

He An carried water in one hand and held the ladle in the other hand. His hands were steady, but he looked worried, looking at the door of the main room from time to time.

After about half an hour, He Ze came out of the room.

"Brother, how are you doing?" As soon as he saw him, He An immediately stood up, and the water splashed most of it.

He Ze shook his head, "Am not back yet?"

Last night, He Youcai and Li had a big fight, and Wangfu also barked all night. Early this morning, Li left the house and said it was just about to go out and not let them follow.

He seemed to smell the strong smell of smoke in the main room again in front of his nose. He couldn't help frowning. He probably had a fight with Li last night. He Youcai seemed to be trying to make up for the cigarette he hadn't smoked in the past few days, but he didn't put down his cigarette pipe for a day this day.

"No, Dad..."

"While smoking dry tobacco and doing carpentry, there is nothing wrong with him." He Ze thrust his lips. This time, Dad He was really hit hard.

He looked up at the scorching sun, narrowed his eyes, then raised his hand to block his sight, found another ladle, and helped He An water it together.

He discussed with the two old men about the shop and had already bought the big one.

Although it was a little older, it would be 80% new when he replaced everything that could be replaced. Moreover, when he went to see it later, the shopkeeper gave him the desolate courtyard behind him to put idle flowers and plants in order to get rid of it as soon as possible.

When he went to the town two days ago, he invited two people to repair it. When the mountains are full of flowers, the flower shop can also be opened.

I gently patted the Clivia in front of me, and a few leaves trembled, splashing a few drops of water on He Ze's trouser legs.

"What's wrong with Dad these days? I've been so angry yesterday! I haven't seen them quarrel like this for a long time." He An brought a bucket of water over and looked at the closed door again.

"You didn't hear it when it made a fuss last night?" He Ze raised his eyebrows, "Dad is sorry for Emu, and he is upset."

He Annu nodded and didn't say anything. He naturally heard what happened last night, but my father has been doing well for so many years, why can't he feel at this moment?

"It's okay, there's Am to control him." He Ze's face felt thoughtful when he remembered that Dad He was taking care of the flat logs.

Heart disease also requires heart medicine. In addition to Emu, he may also have to prescribe another medicine for He Youcai.

He An paused his movements, and the doubts on his face had not faded. He scooped a bucket of water and watered them slowly. After the flowers were watered, a bucket of water soon came to the bottom.

“When will they bloom?”

"Let's go for another month or two." In March, the flowers are red and the willows are green.

He Ze glanced at He An, who moved several pots of flowers in the shadow to a position against the wall. The sun shone, and the water droplets on the plants shone brightly like pearls.

"These pots of flowers love the sun?"

"Well, Uncle Xu rented his fourth uncle's house, I asked him." He An nodded and pulled out a weed from the pot.

He seemed to like these flowers very much, and he took care of them more than He Ze during this period.

Looking at He An with a focused expression in front of him, He Ze didn't know what he remembered. He was silent for a while before saying, "When the shop is opened, go and be a shopkeeper?"

"ah?"

"Have Eminem mentioned your marriage to you recently?"

"...Brother, what are you asking about this?" He An curled his lips.

There must be this reaction.

"You are seventeen years old, and you are always good at learning some ability to settle down. You can read and keep accounts. Even if you want to be a flower farmer, you must have a basic understanding of flowers." He Ze touched He An's head, "Think about what you want to do, brother will help you. After passing this village, there will be no such store."

In this world, my brother usually gets married at the 16th. By next year, Dad He and Li will probably be in a hurry.

He An was stunned for a moment. Before he could speak, a burst of rapid footsteps came from the direction of the gate of the courtyard. Li ran in panting, his voice was anxious and angry, "Xiaoze, something happened. The white angelica in our field has been pulled out!"

?!

What's going on?!

...

Knowing the hard work his son put in for the piece of angelica, He Youcai, who heard the sound, also came out of the room and followed He Ze and Li all the way.

He An guards the door at home.

Halfway through, He Ze also ran into Liu San and He Dalang who were wandering in the village. After hearing Li's words, they walked with them indignation. By the time the group arrived in the field, it was almost noon.

This piece of land is nearly one acre. When He Ze saw it yesterday, a piece of green seedlings fluttered in the wind. Now only a few sparse trees are left. Most of the angelica has been pulled out and thrown on the ground and piled up a layer. The green seedlings have become yellow and depressed, and the situation is not optimistic.

He Ze's face was dark, his eyes were surging, as if he suppressed his great anger.

Compared to telling books and selling flowers, the piece of angelica in front of him was the only "career" he had put in his mind and was looking forward to.

"This... this turtle girl did such a thing! No, I'll go find the patriarch!" Looking at Bai Zhimiao on the ground, He Youcai was so angry that his beard shook, he pinched the cigarette pipe and knocked it hard on his thigh, and took a few steps towards the direction he came.

"Why--"

"It's okay, Emu, this matter really needs to be resolved by people from the clan."

For the villagers, crops are life. To destroy other people’s crops, isn’t it just to make money and kill them? This has not happened in Hejia Village for more than ten years, and the punishment in the tribe is only serious.

After restraining his thoughts, He Ze interrupted Li, then bent down and picked up Baizhi, the size of a baby's arm, on the ground, gently pinched a rolled leaf at the top, and a slender green worm rolled down to the ground.

Is this... angelica worm?

There should be fewer now, otherwise he would not have found out.

He Ze picked up a few angelica trees from the ground. The yellowish roots were intertwined and they were already a little soft, but they had no insect eyes.

fine.

"No, he is so impatient! I'm thinking about finding people before going there? Now I can't find people, so it's not a waste of time..." Li stomped his feet, looked at He Youcai's back, and his face was full of regret.

"I'm looking for someone," He Ze crushed the leaves of angelica with his fingertips, and the green juice flowed out, dyeing his fingertips green, "I know who it is."

"Who? Which bitch..." Liu San was obviously angry. In his opinion, it was definitely not easy for his brother to make trouble at home when he was tinkering with this stuff. This made people ruin it if they said it...

Mom, I can't kill him!

Before he finished speaking, Li and He Dalang's eyes also placed on He Ze.

"Lin Dalang."

He Ze spoke out three words coldly.

The clan has decided that after the eighth day of the lunar month, the Lin family will drive people away if they don’t leave.

Lin Sanlang died, Wu Cui was arrested by the government, Liu was blinded, and leaving Hejia Village again, the family would definitely not have a good life in the future, and it would be a retribution. He Ze originally didn't want to take care of it, but he never thought that Lin Dalang would come to provoke him once before leaving. Since that's the case, he can't blame him.

"Lin Dalang? Is it him?"

For some reason, Liu San and He Dalang changed their faces when they heard the name one after another. They looked at each other, and wanted to speak but stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Liu San did not answer and carefully glanced at Li.

He Ze understood the concerns of the two and found an excuse to leave with them. On the way, Liu Sancai stuttered, "On the second day of the lunar calendar, Dalang and I met the boss of the Lin family. He... He seemed to hear that it was our secret, and your name was also there."

"That's it?" He Ze stopped.

"Well, he wanted to make a fuss with me and let us fight. Thinking that it was useless to know, we just reported a letter and did nothing, so... so I didn't tell you." Liu San's voice gradually lowered, and his expression was a little regretful.

The Lin family's reputation has become bad. Lin Da probably thought he would leave soon, so he pulled Bai Zhi from the He Ze family to vent his anger, but - "He Ze, how do you know it is Lin Da?"

"I saw it," naturally Bai Zhi told him. He Ze's voice was faint, "I came out last night and met Lin Da down from that path."

"What should I do now? Let's accompany you to find the patriarch?" He Dalang clenched his fists and frowned slightly.

It is natural that He Ze can't determine this matter, but since they are brothers, they have to help them build their momentum.

"No, I'll solve it myself."

He Ze waved his hand, said goodbye to the two of them before leaving.

That afternoon, at his insistence, the He family replanted the pulled angelica again. He An also carried a bucket to water it. Seeing the land under his feet slowly being soaked in water, he looked a little uneasy, "Brother, if they have watered it, they still can't survive..."

"Forget it if you can't survive, just buy new medicines." He Ze seemed to be indifferent.

Hearing this, He An frowned even deeper. He Youcai and Li next to him seemed to have forgotten the quarrel last night. The expression on their faces was exactly the same as He An, and their eyes looked at He Ze were full of worry.

He Ze knew that they were afraid that they would be hit, but he did not explain anymore. It would be good to ease the atmosphere between Mr. He and Li.

The next day, he went to the village early in the morning to find Xu Qingsheng, but was told that Xu Qingsheng had already gone to the town clinic. He Ze had no choice but to go to the Lin family again and took Lin Yu to the town with him.

Since the last New Year's Eve night, Lin Yu has never given him a good look.

But... death is like a ghost, right? He Ze looked back at Lin Yu, with a smile in his eyebrows.

"I'm still laughing! Didn't it mean that Bai Zhi in that piece of land had something wrong? Why are you not worried?" But he became anxious when he heard the news!

Lin Yu glared at He Ze, and his eyebrows were facing the sun, and the smile on He Ze's face became stronger.

"What are you worried about? It's okay. The misfortune is the basis of good fortune. This is really true." If Lin Da didn't pull Baizhi, he wouldn't have noticed that Baizhi had worms. He could save the pulled Baizhi, but it would be difficult for him to fill it with the insect eyes.

He read a lot of books last night, but he couldn't find a specific way to prevent insects. He thought he had to ask Xu Qingsheng about this.

"Don't worry, trust your husband, huh?"

“…”

"drive--"

He Ze whipped the cow's belly, and the yellow cow mooed twice, and his steps were faster. "Do you remember the last time we went out together? How about the carriage we drove at that time, we would buy two tomorrow?"

As the fastest means of transportation in ancient times, He Ze was very interested in horses. He only drove a carriage for so long last time, so he was naturally not happy enough.

Lin Yu was not surprised by He Ze's speed of changing the topic, and chatted with him all the way. When the two arrived at Xu Qingsheng's clinic together, Chen Shi had just passed.

Xu Qingsheng's clinic is not big and is far from the downtown area, but people come and go, and it is not lonely at all.

I think his medical skills are good enough. In addition, when he comes to visit the clinic if he is in trouble, Xu Qingsheng will charge less than half of the medical fee and give medicines. It will spread to ten thousand times. Over time, he has gained a reputation in the town.

After all, wine is not afraid of deep alleys.

But because of this, even though he has been practicing medicine for many years, Xu Qingsheng still only stayed in such a small clinic, and he was afraid that he had not saved much.
