Chapter 17 Old Man Li
"Are you going to the mountains?" Zhao Yi asked coldly.

"Yes." Shen Qing said calmly, "It just so happens that there is nothing to do today..."

Following Shen Qing's words, the calm face of the man in front of him was as cold and hard as iron, and his eyes, which hid his anger, were sharp, deep, and chilly.

Shen Qing was puzzled, "What's wrong? Why does it look like I owe you several hundred taels of silver."

Being looked at like this, Shen Qing obviously didn't do anything wrong, yet she felt like a ghost knocked on her door?
Zhao Yi's expression and eyes became even colder.

"Okay. You just came back. Look at Huzi, I'm going out."

Shen Qing stretched out his hand to pick up the pannier, but he pulled it hard, but he couldn't pull it away.

I saw a big, broad palm pressing against the edge of the basket, with a thin layer of calluses on the well-defined palm, and the blue veins were slightly protruding.

It was obvious that he had used force, so it was no wonder that Shen Qing couldn't move it.

"What are you doing?"

Shen Qing didn't move, stood up, smiled all over his face, and asked in a frivolous tone, "Is it possible that Zhao Lang would be reluctant to go out for such a short time?"

Zhao Yi's eyes were unnatural for a moment, his ears were red, but his expression was still fierce, "Don't change the subject."

Shen Qing couldn't figure out what Zhang Er was thinking, "What is changing the subject, okay, let's stop talking, I have to hurry up and go out now."

But for some reason, Shen Qing keenly noticed that after saying this sentence, Zhao Yi seemed to be even more unhappy.

But Shen Qing, who was busy going out, didn't have the time to study further.

If we drag it on, today's time may not be enough to go back and forth by ourselves, and it is not safe to sleep in the mountains at night or drive at night.

Shen Qing carried the basket and sickle on her back, put on the straw hat, showing her clean and small chin, but when she took a step, she couldn't take a step.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw that powerful arm was tightly clutching his back basket.

No wonder she couldn't walk no matter how she opened her legs.

Shen Qing was a little angry at first, but inexplicably imagined an image, an adult grabbed a little girl carrying a pannier with one hand, and lifted it up. The little girl kicked her feet in the air, and suddenly fell silent.

What a mess!What are you thinking about every day.

"What exactly do you want?" Shen Qing asked impatiently.

Seeing that she seemed determined to go, Zhao Yi compromised in a low voice, "I'm coming too."

Shen Qing said "Oh", originally he wanted to go together, but he didn't expect such a big person to be so childish.

There is a feeling of going back to childhood and playing with friends. No matter what one person does, others must stick to each other to do it together.

childish.

Shen Qing had a clear goal this time, and followed Zhao Yi into the mountain and went straight to the goal.

Wild tea leaves grow on the sunny hillside on the other side. Shen Qing observes the age of these wild tea trees, and there are tea trees more than a hundred years old!
Shen Qing's eyes darkened, the tea leaves picked from tea trees of this age, ordinary apprentices would not dare to handle them, and an experienced teacher had to roast the tea himself.

Shen Qing changed his mind, after picking, he had to get rid of it as soon as possible.

She doesn't have the ability to carry out follow-up operations.

However, this timing is not quite right, and the early spring tea before Qingming should be fresh, tender and thick.

Although the autumn tea is generally not good enough, it can barely pass. Some people may like the taste of this autumn tea.

"Aren't you picking it?"

Seeing that Shen Qing had a clear purpose, Zhao Yi came straight over, thinking that she would immediately pick them when she arrived at the destination, but he didn't expect Shen Qing to remain motionless.

"It's not the time yet." Shen Qing explained a little, "I need to talk to someone first."

Find the next home first, agree on a time, and once you pick it, sell it directly.

So this trip, Shen Qing didn't start picking, but since everyone came, he couldn't return empty-handed.

The two wandered around inside, dug up some medicinal herbs and some wild vegetables before going back.

The two returned home, but it was only mid-afternoon, and before they had time to put down the things in their hands, Zhao Yi was grabbed by a man in his 60s and [-]s who rushed out from the next door.

"Young man from the Zhao family, it's just in time for you to come back!"

The family next door is named Li, and everyone in the village calls him Old Man Li.

Old man Li grabbed Zhao Yi, his usually gentle and refined image was completely gone at this moment, he was so anxious that he spoke incoherently, "Zhong Yuan is sick, I need to take him to see a doctor, your family's cart will take him to see a doctor."

Old man Li also seemed to realize that his speech was disorganized, so he stabilized his mind and reorganized his words, "My family Zhong Yuan is sick, and I want to borrow a cart from your family to drag him to the town to see a doctor."

"Don't worry, I can rent out a few copper coins from you, and I know it's not easy now."

Now at this time, there is a cart at home, and it is much easier to pull things outside than purely manpower, but not everyone has it.

Especially what I have at home recently, it is mainly used to pull the rice that needs to be dried every day.

If you just want to borrow it from others, you must be willing to take out something in exchange.

"Yeah." Zhao Yi nodded and suggested, "May I pull it for you?"

He was silent just now, thinking about this one thing, the Li old man's family is not from the village.

They moved to Darongshu Village ten years ago, a family of four.

Grandpa, grandma, daughter-in-law, grandson.

But in the second year after coming to the village, grandma passed away, leaving three people to depend on each other.

Old man Li himself is in his fifties and sixties, and he is gentle and refined on weekdays. He is as thin as a bamboo pole. Although he still has the strength to work, he is not as good as a middle-aged man in his 40s, [-]s, [-]s or [-]s.

In other words, it can be said that old man Li does not have a strong middle-aged labor force in his family now, and it is indeed a bit hard for old man Li to drag people to the town.

"That's great." Old man Li said gratefully, "Zhao family boy, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Old man Li knows his physical condition well, and now there is a young man who is willing to help him, which is really great.

"I'll go to town with them, you..."

As long as Zhao Yi wanted Shen Qing to stay at home with peace of mind, Shen Qing took the first step, "I will go too."

"It just so happens that there is something missing at home, so I'll go buy some then."

"okay."

Zhao Yi helped the young man out of the house, and Shen Qing finally saw what this seriously ill young man looked like.

The grandson of the Li family, Li Zhongyuan is indeed a good young talent based on his facial features alone.

But he was sick all over, his whole face was pale and pale, his lips were bloodless, and he looked like a weak and sick child.

I don't know how long I can live.

It is precisely because of this seriously ill appearance that the young man now looks unaesthetic.

Not to mention the blood stains on the clothes, which was even more shocking.
