Nongmen's Herbal Fragrance: The Space of Buddhist Doctors is Busy with Farming

Chapter 41
"Uh, my neck hurts so much from sleeping!" Mu Xuefei sat up and rubbed her neck.

"Sister-in-law, you're up, what time is it?" Qin Lan rubbed her eyes and asked.

"It's still early, it's about time." Mu Xuefei looked out the window and replied.

"It's really uncomfortable to sleep in a carriage!" Qin Lan sighed as she sat up and stretched.

"Since you're awake, Lan'er, let's go wash up by the stream." Mu Xuefei didn't want to continue sleeping at all.

"Sister-in-law, let's go!" Qin Lan opened the curtain and said.

When the two got off the carriage, they found that someone in the convoy had already woken up.

Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan walked to the edge of the stream, Qin Lan knelt down and stretched her right hand into the water, "Sister-in-law, the stream is a bit cold."

"Just sober enough." Mu Xuefei joked with a smile.

Mu Xuefei took out a handkerchief and dipped it into the creek to wet it. After wringing it dry, she wiped her cheeks and hands, "It's really cold!"

Qin Lan directly wiped his cheeks with water and repeated several times, then shook his hands and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to dry his cheeks and hands.

"Cousin, sister Lan'er, you got up really early." Mu Han greeted with a smile.

"Shu Yu, good morning, cousin." Mu Xuefei was squatting by the stream, smoothing her long black hair with her hands, and said with a sweet smile when she heard the voice.

"Brother, Brother Mu, good morning." Qin Lan stood up and smiled gently at the two of them.

"...Xuefei, good morning." Qin Shuyu, who was walking towards the stream with Mu Han, looked at the beautiful figure who was fascinated by the water in the morning light, and Mu Xuefei, who was awakened by Mu Han's words, looked back and smiled. At that moment, Qin Shuyu clearly heard the sound of his own heartbeat, and only "smiling face blooming like a flower, jade tone flowing gracefully" echoed in his mind.

"Tranquility is like a delicate flower shining in the water, and action is like a weak willow supporting the wind." Mu Han looked at Qin Lan, who was illuminated by the soft red sunlight, and said in a daze.

"Er... Lan'er, good morning." Qin Shuyu was pulled back from his thoughts by the sound of his heartbeat and said in a cover-up.

"Brother, you and Brother Mu should wash up too!" Qin Lan urged seeing that the two of them hadn't moved at all.

"Cousin, let's wash up quickly." Qin Shuyu said through gritted teeth.

"Sister-in-law, let's go!" Mu Han said calmly, as if he didn't hear Qin Shuyu's voice.

After Qin Shuyu and Mu Han finished washing, the four of them walked together into the convoy without a word. Mu Han, who had always liked to chat, seemed to be sealed by something.

"Brother Mu and I went to find some branches to make a fire, you go back to the carriage first." Qin Shuyu said softly.

"Okay, both of you go and come back quickly." Mu Xuefei worried.

Looking at the figures of Qin Shuyu and Mu Han going away one after the other, Qin Lan asked strangely, "Why does brother feel a little weird?"

"Is there?" Mu Xuefei asked in confusion.

"I probably misread it." Qin Lan replied uncertainly.

"Lan'er, let's go back to the carriage and wait." Mu Xuefei said.

When the two returned to the carriage, Mu Xuefei put down the hair that was simply rolled up just now, and planned to re-do her makeup.

"Sister-in-law, why do you want to re-comb your hair? I think you look good like this." Qin Lan looked suspiciously at Mu Xuefei who picked up the comb and was about to re-comb.

"I just combed it with my hands just now, it's better to use a comb to take care of the other side, Lan'er, I'll help you comb your hair into a nice bun later." Mu Xuefei replied with interest.

"Then listen to sister-in-law." Qin Lan also likes to dress up beautifully.

"What kind of bun should I give Lan'er?" Mu Xuefei combed her Chaoyunjin fragrant bun and put on the butterfly step and butterfly cover, which she likes recently, behind her temples, looking at the back of Qin Lan's head and worried.

"By the way, it's time to comb the sideburns into a bun." After Mu Xuefei thought about her hairstyle, she combed it flexibly with her hands.

"Okay, with such a dress, Lan'er feels more peaceful and gentle." Mu Xuefei inserted honey hairpins and flower tines for Qin Lan, and sat opposite Qin Lan to admire them.

"Sister-in-law, stop teasing me." Qin Lan lowered her head and blushed coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk anymore, let's go down quickly, they should be back." Mu Xuefei looked at Qin Lan's shy expression and changed the subject.

"Okay, I'll take dry food now." Qin Lan desperately wanted to find a job for herself.

"Then I will leave everything to Lan'er." Mu Xuefei said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law~" Qin Lan said coquettishly in a low voice.

"Okay, okay, I really won't say anything." Mu Xuefei promised.

Qin Lan just got out of the carriage with dry food and Mu Xuefei took the water bag, Mu Han trotted forward and said with a smile, "Wow! My cousin and sister Lan'er are so beautifully dressed."

"Thank you cousin for the compliment." Mu Xuefei thanked her generously.

"Brother Mu..." Qin Lan lowered her head and grabbed the hem of her skirt with her left hand, and called out in a low voice.

"Cousin, why don't you see Shuyu?" Mu Xuefei asked out loudly.

"Sister-in-law was sitting at the place where he was resting last night. I don't think you guys are here yet, but I want to come and see you." Mu Han explained while taking the things from the two of them.

"Then let's go there too." Mu Xuefei said, pulling Qin Lan to walk ahead.

And here Qin Shuyu looked at Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan who were walking side by side, his eyes flickered, Lan'er seemed to be a slim woman all of a sudden, and she thought that Xuefei in the morning was already amazing enough, but she didn't expect it was just a different Her bun turned into a dignified lady again, and the confidence and firmness in her brows and eyes made people's eyes shine.

After the four of them simply extinguished the fire with breakfast, it was time to set off again. The four of them packed up their things and got on the carriage to start today's journey.

Following Li Biaotou's sound of departure, the carriage also started to move slowly.

"I want to catch up on a good night's sleep. Last night, I used the sky as my bed and the ground as my seat. Although it was very comfortable, there were so many mosquitoes, which made it very troublesome." After Mu Han finished speaking, he closed his eyes to try to get sleepy.

"Shuyu, don't you need to sleep for a while?" Mu Xuefei looked at Qin Shuyu who was reading a book and asked with concern.

"No need, I'm not sleepy yet." Qin Shuyu raised his head from the book and said gently.

"Then continue reading." Mu Xuefei said.

Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan were bored and didn't know what to do to pass the time. Mu Xuefei suddenly remembered that she hadn't studied medical books in the past two days!So he pretended to take out "The Record of the God of Medicine" from his luggage and read it.

Qin Lan looked at Mu Han who was sleeping, and at Mu Xuefei and Qin Shuyu who were reading a book, wondering what he should do?After thinking for a while, he simply gave up and closed his eyes.

"Lan'er, cousin, wake up." Mu Xuefei waited for Escort Li to stop routinely, and then called to the two who were asleep.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?" Qin Lan asked with a confused face, she really didn't expect that she actually fell asleep.

"It's time to go down to rest and have lunch." Mu Xuefei replied.

"Eat? Where to eat?" Mu Han suddenly sat up and asked.

"We seem to have arrived in another town." Mu Xuefei replied.

"Then let's go down quickly, what are you waiting for? Finally, we don't need to eat dry food." Mu Han said happily.

"Let's go!" Mu Xuefei said helplessly, isn't she waiting for you?

The four people who got out of the carriage looked around at the parking place and then walked to the place where the convoy gathered. Escort Li began his routine speech, "We have arrived in a small town, and next to it is the only inn and restaurant in the town. , we set off at the end of the afternoon and the beginning of the hour, well, please take care of yourself."

"It's just noon now, let's go to the town together after dinner, it's really uncomfortable to ride in a carriage." Mu Han suggested.

"Yes." Qin Shuyu said.

"Okay!" Qin Lan replied.

"Then let's go in and eat quickly." Mu Xuefei replied.

"The four guests are invited. I wonder if it's for a tip or a meal?" The busy guy took a gap to welcome the four of them warmly.

"Eat." Mu Han replied.

"Four, please follow me." The clerk led the four of them to a table in the corner of the hall, and the clerk wiped the table with a cloth towel on his right shoulder.

"I don't know what to eat for the four of you?" The waiter said after watching the four of them sit down and pouring tea for the four of them.

"Thank you, do you have any recommended dishes?" Mu Han asked after receiving the tea.

"That's a lot. The most famous ones are Guobao Pork, Blood Sausage, Pig Killer Vegetables, Leafy Pork, Boiled Pork, Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms, Pickled Vegetable Powder, Spicy Pepper Dried Tofu, etc. But you only have four of us. It is recommended to order simmered pork, boiled white meat, stewed chicken with mushrooms, pickled vegetable powder, blood sausage, or pig-killed dishes. I wonder if there are any taboos for the four of you?"

"What do you two want to eat?" Mu Han looked at Qin Shuyu, Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan and asked.

"I can do it." Qin Lan felt that it was all right after listening to the names of the dishes reported by the staff.

"I can do it too, cousin, watch it!" Mu Xuefei replied.

"Okay, just order those five dishes." Mu Han said to the clerk.

"Okay, let's order the five dishes of simmered pork, boiled white meat, stewed chicken with mushrooms, pickled vegetable powder, and pig-killed vegetables. What staple food should we order? We have steamed buns and rice in the store." Xiaoer confirmed with a smile .

"I want a bowl of rice." Mu Xuefei said, she still likes to eat rice.

"I want steamed buns." Qin Lan said.

"Steamed buns." Qin Shuyu said.

"Then just need two bowls of rice and six steamed buns." Mu Han said to the waiter.

"Okay, four please wait a moment." Mu Han said and left.

"I don't know when it will come up." Mu Han saw that the people in the convoy who had come a step earlier than him had already eaten their meals, and smelled the aroma of other tables' meals, lying on the table weakly.

"The four guests have been waiting for a long time. The stewed chicken with mushrooms and pickled vegetable powder are here. The other dishes will have to wait for a while." The waiter said while walking with two dishes.

"Okay, but buddy, can you bring me the rice and steamed buns first." Mu Han looked at the food on the table and said.

"Okay, wait a moment, customer, I'll be back as soon as I go." The guy agreed and left.

"Let's eat first!" Mu Han couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and said.

"Okay," Mu Xuefei said, picking up the chopsticks and handing them out to Qin Shuyu and Qin Lan.

The four of them started eating, and from the frequency with which Mu Han raised his chopsticks, it could be seen that the food tasted pretty good.

"Guest, the rice and steamed buns are here, please take your time." The man put down the plate and said enthusiastically.

"Thank you, but buddy, can the other dishes be served sooner." Mu Han urged.

"I'll go take a look right now." After speaking, the buddy retreated respectfully.

"Guest officer, your simmered pork, boiled white meat, and butchered pig dishes are here. Your dishes are already ready, please take your time." The waiter went to work again after speaking.

"These dishes look good, let's eat them quickly," Mu Han said.

The four of them drank tea and rested quietly after lunch.

"Sister-in-law, although it is the same dish as Qingruo Pavilion, the taste is different." Qin Lan said while holding a teacup.

"Yeah, maybe each family's recipe is different, but it's still delicious." Mu Xuefei said after recalling the taste of Qingruoge's food before.

"But I still prefer Qingruo Pavilion." Qin Lan said.

"I also think that Qingruo Pavilion is more delicious. I used to go there often, but Yangcheng also has a lot of delicious food. Sister Lan'er, I will take you to eat in Yangcheng." Mu Han said.

"Cousin, just take Lan'er, don't you invite me and Shu Yu?" Mu Xuefei joked.

"Aren't you together?" Mu Han asked suspiciously.

"Eh..." Mu Xuefei said speechlessly, she is really straighter than a straight man!

"We will go by ourselves." Qin Shuyu replied coldly.

"Sister-in-law, don't be so indifferent! Our two families are very close and we can go shopping together, and then let me do my best as a landlord." Mu Han said.

"Then please trouble my cousin to take us to eat, drink and have fun." Mu Xuefei joked.

"No problem, just leave it to me." Mu Han said proudly, patting his chest.

"Have you rested yet? Let's go outside for a walk!" Qin Shuyu suggested.

"Okay!" Mu Xuefei said.

"Let's go!" Mu Han immediately stood up and replied.

The four of them went through a lot of arguing about who should pay the bill, and after Mu Han paid the bill, they left the inn and went for a casual stroll in the town.

The sun in spring is not scorching hot, with a gentle breeze blowing, walking on the street paved with bluestone slabs, there are few pedestrians on the street, but there are many shops on both sides of the street, including jewelry shops, teahouses, bookstores, rouge shops, Food shop and so on.

Although the town is not as prosperous as the county town, the residents in the town greet each other with a human touch that the county town does not have.

"It's better to be in the town!" Mu Han looked at the pedestrians who were greeting each other and sighed.

"Yeah, quiet and human, but sometimes there's no privacy between people."

"Why don't we go to this 'Fate Bookstore' to have a look." Mu Han stopped in front of a small shop.

"Let's go in!" Mu Xuefei was obviously also interested in the shop name.

"Let's go!" Qin Shuyu took the lead and stepped forward.

The four of them walked into the "Suiyuan Bookstore", but they didn't expect that it looked very narrow on the outside, but there was something different inside. There were bookshelves built against the walls on three sides, and the bookshelves extended to the roof. The shelves were full of books. It was shocking to go.

"It really is Suiyuan Bookstore." Mu Han looked at the bookshelves full of books and sighed.

"Isn't it a guest looking for some books?" Suddenly an old voice came from the counter next to the door.

"Ah! We want to take a random look first." Mu Han was startled by the voice and said.

"Then please do what you want." After the old voice finished speaking, there was no movement at all.
