Chapter 320 It's hard to be hearted

That night, Zhao Yue's master and apprentice stayed in this village. The lotus slaughtered a big rooster and stewed it with a slow fire. Yuan Kui brought a smoked dried rabbit meat from home, stir-fried it with chili, and made two large pots of meat dishes. There were two small dishes. Four dishes were placed on the table, making the table full.

Yuan Kui opened a bottle of liquor for Zhao Yueman: "It's dry now, and the conditions are limited. Brother Zhao and two nephews, please don't dislike it! Eat whatever you want."

Zhao Yue smiled and said, "Brother Yuan is too polite. There are guests from the countryside. Killing chickens is the highest hospitality etiquette! You and the lotus sister-in-law regard us as valuable guests."

"Hahaha, come on, Brother Zhao, let's do one!" Yuan Kui picked up his glass and began to toast.

Zhao Yue also picked up the glass and touched a glass with Yuan Kui, and then did it. Although Zhao Yue often eats his own chicken at home, the cooking method of Tujia chicken varies from place to place, and each has its own taste! The chicken made of lotus can smell the fragrance from afar. The fire stews all the taste of the chicken and bones. The chicken is stewed to pieces. After eating it, it melts after chewing it twice. The taste is very pure! Unlike broilers, no matter what you do and what seasonings you put in, you can't hide the fishy smell inside.

Zhao Yue and Yuan Kui killed two bottles of liquor in a row. In the end, Yuan Kui was drunk. After eating and drinking enough, Yuan Kui said, "Brother, you three masters and apprentices should go to my house tonight. My place is spacious and there are many rooms. One of you is enough."

After listening to Yuan Kui's talk, Zhao Yue also felt that it was better to live in his house. It was not convenient to stay with Xiao Ma, so he nodded and agreed with Yuan Kui's suggestion.

When he arrived at Yuan Kui's house, Yuan Kui was going to tap water to bathe Zhao Yue and others. Zhao Yue quickly stopped him when he saw this. How could this work? There is no water to drink now. How can there be extra water to take a shower? He asked Li Yi and Sun Yulong to take a small basin of water. The two of them wiped their bodies together. He didn't need to wash himself, and his body was very clean.

Before dawn the next day, Zhao Yue heard Yuan Kui getting up. He thought that Yuan Kui was going to back the water again, so he ignored it and continued to sit and meditated.

When Zhao Yue opened his eyes again, Yuan Kui had come back. Zhao Yue washed himself casually and walked out of the door. He saw Yuan Kui squatting alone on the side of the Hetang (valley field) and didn't know what to do. He walked over and saw that Yuan Kui was killing eels and loach.

Hearing the footsteps behind, Yuan Kui turned around and looked at Zhao Yue and asked with a smile, "Brother, why don't you sleep a little more when you get up so early?"

Zhao Yue walked to Yuan Kui and squatted down and said, "I'm not sleepy, Brother Yuan, did you just get it back? There is no water everywhere now. Where are the eels and loach? There are three or four catties in total."

"Oh, there is a pond not far from here, but the water inside is dry, and now there is only silt left. I dug it with a shovel. I didn't expect to dig out so much," Yuan Kui said with a smile.

Zhao Yue didn't expect that Yuan Kui was so lucky that he would produce three or four catties of eels and loach in a short time.

Yuan Kui said mysteriously, "It's more than that! Guess what else I dug up?

Zhao Yue asked curiously, "What?"

"A talented fish weighing three catties (black fish) and a turtle weighing four catties, hey hey!" Yuan Kui said with a smile that the vitality of black fish and turtles is extremely tenacious. They can not only live in the water, but also live in the mud for several days, especially turtles. It is a symbol of longevity. Twenty or thirty years ago, they were everywhere in the mountains, rivers and ditches, but now they are almost extinct in the wild.

Zhao Yue smiled and said, "Brother Yuan is really lucky!" You know, this is a wild thing, not raised in captivity, and their value is several times higher than that in captivity.

Yuan Kui said while killing eels, "Brother, your masters and apprentices have lived here for a few days. We still have a few patients with chronic diseases here. I'll take you to have a look. Don't worry, although we have caused drought here, we can definitely treat you well. There must be food."

Seeing that it was difficult to be courteous, Zhao Yue agreed. He was not in a hurry for the past two days. As long as there were patients, he would treat them. As for disaster relief, his ability was limited and he could do as much as possible. Anyway, now the court has begun to pay attention to it. There are more people and more power!

For a breakfast, Zhao Yue and others are also very comfortable. There is no habit of eating breakfast in the countryside. Breakfast is the same as Chinese food and dinner.

The eel slices were cut into pieces, and the bones were shaved off, stir-fried with dried chili, and loach was stewed in a pot with pickled cabbage. Although these dishes are not as good-looking as in a big hotel, the taste is definitely not comparable to that of a big hotel.

Zhao Yue and Yuan Kui killed another bottle of white wine in the morning. Yuan Kui had to drink it again. Zhao Yue hurriedly said, "Aren't you going to see a patient later? If you drink too high, you won't be able to see a doctor!"

Yuan Kui patted his forehead and said, "Look at my surname! Come on, eat vegetables, two nephews, eat more!"

Li Yi and Sun Yulong quickly agreed. Yuan Kui's wife said antonically, "You are an alcoholic. You forget your business while drinking!"

Sun Yulong killed three bowls of rice in a row and said, "Auntie, the food you cooked with Aunt Hehua is so delicious!" Li Yi was cold and didn't say anything. He just worked hard.

"Real is it? Then you should eat more! You all eat more! Ha ha!" Yuan Kui's wife was very happy to hear Sun Yulong's words.

After being full of wine and food, Zhao Yue's master and apprentice and Yuan Kui first went to Xiao Ma's house and went into the house to see Xiao Ma's condition. "Xiao Ma, how do you feel from yesterday to now?"

Xiao Ma said, "I feel itchy under my skin, and I can't help but want to scratch it with my hands!"

Zhao Yue nodded and said with a smile, "This is normal, which means that new meat has begun to grow. Can you get up and move now?"

Xiao Ma said, "It should be possible. In the past, I couldn't move because my legs were very swollen and painful after standing up. Now that the swelling has subsided, I should be able to stand up."

"Because you are inactive for a long time, the muscles of your legs have a little atrophied, so you must move frequently to restore the physiological function of your legs," Zhao Yue said.

After listening to this, Xiao Ma said to the lotus, "Lotus, come and help me get up and have a try!"

Lotus hurried over and helped the pony up. After the pony went to the ground, her legs tremble a little at first. After a while, she got used to it and walked slowly in the room a few times.

Zhao Yue saw this and asked, "Is there a lounge chair at home?" Let the pony go out to bask in the sun, put the lounge chair under the eaves, and lie on the lounge chair to rest when you are tired!"

Yuan Kui's wife hurriedly said, "I'll move home!" With that, he ran out.
