Chapter 770 Getting up early to pick up manure
It was almost ten o'clock in the evening.
After working all night, all three were exhausted.
After giving the horse some food and warm water, he washed up and went to bed.
As soon as he went up, Old Man Zhuang cried out "ouch" because of the burns.
A lot of firewood was burned tonight, and the chimney from the kitchen also leads to the kang in this room.
At this moment, the hands would feel very hot if placed on the kang, and it was really unsuitable to lie at the head of the kang.
Lu Qingqing finally reacted and quickly reached out to touch Qin Lang's quilt.
Wow, it’s like being in a sauna, I’m sweating all over.
Fortunately, when she put it down, she put Qin Lang at the end of the kang.
Otherwise, it would be too hot to speak!
Seeing that the mat at the head of the kang was a little blackened, the three of them tacitly decided to sleep at the end of the kang.
In the end, they slept in the order of Old Man Zhuang, Qin Lang, Lu Qingqing, and Sun Yue.
Because the earth surface of the kang was too hot, several people laid out mats and then several layers of mattresses before lying down.
After being frozen in the snow for a long time, the three of them were still a little uncomfortable sleeping on the warm kang.
Old man Zhuang felt the hot temperature on his buttocks and sighed comfortably.
"Qing girl, when I go to my senior brother's place in the future, I will definitely build a kang like this.
It’s so comfortable to sleep in it in winter.
Once we settle down, I will never leave the hospital again!"
When Lu Qingqing heard him say this, she also thought of her home in Baoshan Town.
She and Qin Lang each had a kang in their room.
In addition, there is a section of flue left in the middle of the wall, so the house must be very warm after burning a fire in winter.
According to the description of the Sanqing team leader, the effect of the fire wall is not much worse than modern heating.
It’s a pity that she hasn’t enjoyed the house yet after it was built.
When she gets back, she must experience the feeling of sweating in the winter with Qin Lang.
Just as I was thinking about those comfortable days, I heard Sun Yue sigh:
"When I have mastered the art of medicine, I will buy a big house in the city.
The rooms in the house are all like Lanfang Pavilion, with fire walls.
In winter, you only need to wear a thin coat indoors.
Master, Qingqing, you all come and live here when the time comes.
Oh, yes, there is also Qin Lang."
The three of them chatted quietly in the warm room and gradually fell asleep.
That night, there was no guard duty and no snowstorm, and all three of them had a rare good night's sleep.
When she woke up the next day, Lu Qingqing felt her body was numb from sleep.
The feeling of having a good sleep is really comfortable.
When she opened the door, the cold wind outside blew small snowflakes onto her face, but it did not affect her good mood.
After getting up, I went to see the horses in the pen.
After one night, the three little guys produced three big piles of poop.
When people were fleeing famine, these poops were left in place, waiting to be decomposed by microorganisms.
Now that you are at someone else's house, you can't be lazy about cleaning up the horse manure.
Looking at the nearest piece of fresh stuff that was still steaming, Lu Qingqing raised her mask and rushed in with a shovel.
Five minutes later, the circle returned to its previous clean state.
When she returned to the house, Sun Yue and Old Man Zhuang were packing up the buns that had been left to cool last night.
The big buns were packed into different bags according to their fillings.
In the end, the buns filled seven large bags.
Looking at the mountain of bundles piled on the kang, she carried them directly into the carriage.
Their breakfast consisted of the fifteen big buns left in the pot and a pot of millet porridge.
Each person had five buns with different fillings, and two large bowls of porridge, and they all ate until their stomachs were full.
After dinner, Old Man Zhuang began his routine acupuncture treatment, while Lu Qingqing and Sun Yue went to the yard to clean up the carriage.
The old woman in the west room heard the noise and also got up.
Seeing them busy, I wanted to help lift it, but they both refused.
The old woman barely even walks, let alone helping to move things.
After packing up and about to leave, Lu Qingqing used half a bag of food to buy some firewood from the old woman.
The old woman looked at the half bag of grain and sighed inwardly.
She knew that these three people bought her firewood out of kindness.
This worthless firewood cannot be exchanged for much food even in normal years.
Not to mention this famine year.
All she could do was give them as much firewood as possible.
However, there was limited space in Lu Qingqing and Sun Yue’s carriage to store firewood.
When they had almost finished pretending, both of them stopped.
The old woman wanted to put in some more, but the two men refused.
She stood at the door, watching their carriage leave, muttering to herself.
"They must be safe and sound, Bodhisattva, please bless them!"
It was not until the carriage was no longer visible that he closed the door and returned to the house with a dejected look on his face.
On the other hand, Lu Qingqing and the other two felt much better because they had enough sleep.
The three of them continued their journey south in the wind and snow.
In the afternoon, the carriage saw a man in a black coat hurrying along the road ahead from a distance.
You know, after the snowstorm, they basically didn't see anyone traveling on the road.
I have never seen a horse-drawn carriage or a mule-drawn cart, let alone a person traveling on foot.
Old Man Zhuang was a little wary and stared at this man.
When I got closer, I found that the man was only carrying a bag.
He was leaning on a stick and staggering towards their carriage.
To be exact, this person was not walking towards them, but was already a little dazed.
He half-closed his eyes and limped forward.
When he was still about ten or twenty meters away from the carriage, he fell to the ground in the snow.
When Old Man Zhuang, who was driving the carriage, saw this scene, he was so frightened that he quickly stopped the carriage.
Having been frightened by the dead before, he did not rush forward this time.
Just when I was about to ask Lu Qingqing in the car, I saw Sun Yue, who was following behind, driving forward.
She pulled the unconscious man to the ground and patted his face.
Seeing that his face was blue and purple from the cold, he hurried to the carriage to get a hot water bag and fed it to him bit by bit.
Without waiting for Old Man Zhuang to ask, Sun Yue started to explain:
“I think this man is about the same age as the old lady’s son, and he walks with a limp.
Moreover, he was heading north.
I thought, he might be the old lady’s son, Niu Dan.”
After hearing what she said, Old Man Zhuang also went forward to check it out.
“What Xiaoyue said is quite possible, this man is lame.
Look at this nose, it really looks a bit like grandma's."
As the two were talking, the man who had fainted on the ground woke up.
Knowing that it was they who saved him, he hurried to thank them.
Sun Yue didn't bother to be polite and directly confirmed his identity.
When they heard the word "cow egg" from the man's mouth, the three of them were happy for the old lady.
