Quick Travel: After the European Emperor can sign in

Chapter 130 The parents on the road to escape 28

"Third brother is here, sit down."

Zhang Yuanlin was sitting in the shed, sweating profusely from the heat, fiddling with his cigarette rod in his hand.

"Second brother, smoking is bad for your health. How can you learn the bad habits of the clan leader?"

Yuan Xi closed the umbrella and confiscated the second brother's cigarette rod.

The second sister-in-law smiled beside her and said, "You have to come, Yuan Xi. Your second brother will ignore my words."

"Then this cigarette rod will be kept by the second sister-in-law. If the second brother wants to smoke in the future, he can apply for it with you."

Zhang Yuanlin was a little depressed for a moment as he watched the two men establish the ownership of the tobacco pole in front of him.

"I didn't smoke it, I was just a little annoyed, so I took it in my hand and played with it."

Yuan Xi nodded perfunctorily and moved inside, as far away from the fire as possible. He always felt like a wave of heat was coming towards his face.

An iron pot was set up three meters away from the shed and began to boil water. Because of Yuan Xi's instructions, the water in their house is boiled and then cooled down for later use.

He still borrowed the name of Dr. Chen, the universal tool man. He also told the clan leader and tried to promote it in the village, but unfortunately few could do it.

"Qi Hu is here, sit down."

Seeing Qi Hu coming, Yuan Xi asked him to sit down, and several people sat in a row.

"Uncle Da Yuan, Uncle Yuan Xiao, aunt."

Qi Hu said hello and asked, "How's it going ahead?"

"I don't know. I asked Daxing to go see it, but he hasn't come back yet."

Yuan Xi shook his head, "Someone is suffering from heat stroke at this point. We can't stay in Xizhou for another day."

"After Pingyang Mansion, we will reach Zhongzhou. Our village has walked half of the way, which is fast."

A few people were chatting, and Zhang Xing ran back huffing and puffing, "Dad, I'm back."

"How about it?"

"A few more fainted, all elderly people and children."

Yuan Xi looked at his eldest nephew's breathing heavily, fearing that he would also collapse, so he handed him a water bag with two cooling pills in it, doubling the amount of medicine, which was very effective.

"Nephew, please take it easy and drink some water."

"Thank you, uncle."

"Remember to hold an umbrella next time."

Zhang Xing took a gulp of water, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves, and blurted out: "It's not raining, why are you holding an umbrella? What a bitch."

The scene was quiet.

Won Xi holding an umbrella: ...This guy did it on purpose.

Zhang Xing also reacted, giggled twice, and tried to get through.

"It's really hot and the sun is really strong. It's time to hold an umbrella."

"No, there are too many girls whining when holding an umbrella. My eldest nephew, please don't force yourself."

Yuan Xi's sinister tone made Zhang Xing shiver subconsciously.

He thought of the bandit who was crucified by his third uncle. The way he died was so disgusting that he couldn't recall it.

Zhang Xing said with an upright face: "Don't worry, Third Uncle, I just love holding an umbrella."

"Really?"

Since the eldest nephew loved it so much, Yuan Xi handed the umbrella he had just held to the eldest nephew.

Zhang Xing took the umbrella, opened it, and said sincerely: "It's more real than pearls."

After saying this, he held up his umbrella and ran away quickly.

Everyone was left laughing on the spot.

After a while, the clan leader came over.

"Yuan Xi."

He started shouting Yuan Xi's name from a distance.

"Clan leader, slow down, I'm here, I can't run away."

"Damiao, why don't you try to persuade your father, who is quite old, not to suffer from heatstroke?"

Zhang Miao, the eldest son of the clan leader, is older than Yuan Xi, but Yuan Xi is senior to him and is of the same generation as the clan leader, so he still calls Yuan Xi uncle.

"Uncle Xiao Yuan, I tried to persuade you, but my father didn't listen."

The clan leader glared at him, and he shut his mouth in embarrassment.

"None of this is important. I have something urgent to ask you."

The patriarch took out a big-bellied porcelain vase from his arms, which Yuan Xi had given him last time.

"Yuan Xi, these are the cooling pills you brought me last time. They said they were for relieving the heat. I just gave one to one of those suffering from heat stroke. They felt much better immediately, and some of them have woken up."

"Do you have more? I want to buy some from you."

Yuan Xi's consciousness entered the warehouse in the space and took a look. Well, it's OK.

"I prepared a lot of medicine from Doctor Chen. How much do you want, Patriarch?"

The clan leader carefully thought about the remaining journey and touched the big-bellied porcelain bottle in his hand. There were twenty pills in it and said, "Two more bottles."

There were only two bottles. Yuan Xi was a little disappointed. He thought it was a big deal. Why did the patriarch still keep it in check? Although he is not short of money, who can refuse this kind of monopoly business.

He walked into the carriage, pretended to rummage, and walked out with a porcelain bottle in one hand.

"Chief, take it. If you want money, it's five taels of silver in a bottle."

The patriarch paid the money and left with the medicine.

Yuan Xi watched for a while, then turned around and noticed something was wrong with his second brother's eyes.

"Second brother, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Brother, is this medicine so expensive?" Before Yuan Xi could answer, he asked himself and answered, "Yes, the effect is so good, so it's normal for it to be expensive."

He was talking there alone, trying to count how many pills they had taken during this period. When one person couldn't count the number, he even asked his old wife to count them together. The weather was very hot and the two of them started to quarrel while they were counting.

That night, Zhangjiacun encountered a village and was about to buy some water from the villagers, but found that it was an empty village.

It's just a ready-made place to stay. I haven't slept in a bed for a long time. Everyone excitedly divided the rooms. If there wasn't enough, they made bunks on the floor and squeezed in.

Yuan Xi walked into the room and took a look, imitating the TV series he had watched, and wiped a little dust on the table with his fingers in a very stylish way, and said, "I have been gone for at least four or five days."

Zhang Yan looked at it in a daze for a while. He also wiped it with his fingers and looked at the dust on his fingers. "Dad, how did you see this?"

How could I tell? I was talking nonsense and asking questions. The third child really had no eyesight at all.

Of course, in order to save face, Yuan Xi gave a few excuses to fool his third son, fearing that he would ask questions that he could not answer. Yuan Xi turned around and left the room, leaving Zhang Yan alone in a daze staring at the dust on the table.

The third daughter-in-law went in to clean the house and saw her husband looking at the table in a daze. She bypassed him and went to clean the rest of the house first. After finishing everything that came in and out, she found that her husband would wipe the table with his fingers from time to time, and then rub his fingers back and forth. , muttering in his mouth.

After wiping it again and again, my hands were covered with dust, but I didn't use the rag in my left hand to wipe the table.

The third daughter-in-law couldn't stand it anymore, so she put a rag directly on the table and wiped all the dust on the table quickly with two swipes.

"Hey, wife, wait a minute."

Zhang Yan had no time to stop him. Looking at the table that had been wiped clean, he felt like crying without tears. He felt that he would soon master the skills his father said, but now he failed.

"What are you waiting for? I've asked you to clean the table for a long time. My house has been tidied up, and you are still leaving this pestle. If you have nothing to do, go fetch water with your elder brother. Don't get in the way."

The weather is hot, and my wife's temper has gotten worse. Zhang Yan reluctantly went to the yard to carry a wooden bucket and went out to fetch water.

As soon as he found out where the well was, he met his eldest brother and cousin on the way.
