298 Doctor Hu Fell


    When Old Madam Wang brought Wang Dng to the county city, Wang Chuanfu was also starting to build a new house.


    When the vigers heard that they were going to build a new house for Dng, they came to help.


    Early in the morning, many people arrived at Old man Wang’s house one after another with either a few bricks or a basket of tiles.


    “Uncle Wang, this are some leftover materials from my family’s previous house. See if you can use it?”


    “Little Fu, our family still has some left. It’s not much. With everyone gathered together, we shouldn’t have to make new ones.”


    Hu San also came over with an ax. “Chuanfu, have you chosen the wood you want to use yet? Coincidentally, I’m free today. I can bring a few people toe with me and chop the wood for you.”


    Wang Chuanfu was a little ttered. “How can I let you do that? We can just do it ourselves. The crops will need to be stored indoors in a few days. There’s no need to dy your work for us. I can take my time to build the house. In any case, there’s no hurry.”


    Even if Wang Dng had decided on his marriage partner, their family was not in a hurry to marry her this year. In the past, when other families conducted their marriage quickly, it was so that the girl coulde to the family to help out with the work sooner.


    Of course, they would marry as soon as possible.


    They were not in a hurry, nor were they short of people to do things at home. In that case, they could let nature take its course slowly.


    It would not be toote for Wang Dng to get married when he was 18 years old.


    “Of course, it’s better to do this sooner thanter. When winteres this year, it might start to snow again. I don’t know what kind of scene it will be this year. Why not build the house before the snowes and avoid all kinds of trouble?” Hu San said indifferently. “Your mother is already prepared to sell us new grain seeds. It’s fine even if we put in some effort.”


    This time, Wang Chuanfu did not know what to say.


    Instead, it was Little Ah Yu who ran out happily and said to Wang Chuanfu, “Uncle, the teacher said that if you help others, they will help you. This is called helping each other.”


    “That’s right. Ah Yu is the cleverest.” Hu San smiled. The way he looked at Little Ah Yu was really warm to the bone.


    He was so envious. Why wasn’t it him who had gone out and brought home a child back then? Their family would have such an obedient granddaughter.


    However, when Hu San thought of his wife, he realized that she was someone who valued boys over girls. Although he did not scold his wife and granddaughter, he did not take extra care of them.


    From time to time, she would say something unpleasant, so even if he picked up a girl at that time, his wife would probably ask him to throw her out.


    Sigh, he could only be envious.


    The vigers were all good at working and quickly helped clean up thend.


    Then, everyone dug the foundation, cut the wood, and arranged the stones, bricks, and tiles. They were all very busy.


    Madam Feng hurriedly went to boil water. Little Ah Yu was not idle either. When she saw anyone thirsty, she helped pass them water.


    Those people who drank the water all praised it endlessly.


    “In my opinion, Uncle Wang’s water is really different. It tastes sweet. Those who don’t know better would think that Uncle Wang has put sugar in the water.” Someone smiled and finished speaking. Then, he raised his head and took a big gulp, as if to verify his words.


    The others nodded as well. “Indeed. This is simply better than mountain spring water.”


    The people in the vige had more or less drunk Little Ah Yu’s Myriad Spirit Water, but they did not drink as much as the Wang family, so their physiques were only slightly better and they did not fall sick so easily.


    Rtively speaking, Doctor Hu’s family might be the only ones affected.


    However, Doctor Hu himself did not care about money. A few days ago, when he went out to pick herbs, he found another bunch of Paris polyphy and nned to move them to the vige to try and graft them.


    Doctor Hu often went out to pick herbs. Hu Xiaotong was now in the vige. In any case, sometimes, no one would look for them for more than ten days.


    For the vigers, they felt that there was no need to visit the doctor for minor illnesses, and there was no point in treating serious illnesses. They would not spend the money to see a doctor unless they could not take the pain anymore. Only then would they ask Doctor Hu to take a look.


    When Hu Xiaotong heard that the Wang Family was going to build a new house, and half of the vigers were there, he also wanted to take a look.


    Hence, as soon as he walked over, he saw Tang Yuan helping out outside the courtyard.


    The little girl was thin and shriveled. Hu Xiaotong sized her up with a sharp gaze.


    She did look somewhat malnourished, but it was not at an unhealthy level.


    It was a very contradictory physique.


    Speaking of which, she looked a little like the former Little Ah Yu.


    Tang Yuan saw Hu Xiaotong and smiled at him. However, she had forgotten his name and could only smile awkwardly.


    “Is Ah Yu at home?” Hu Xiaotong asked her.


    Tang Yuan nodded. “Yes. Why are you looking for Little Master?”


    “I have a small medicine bag here. Take it to Ah Yu. Ah Yu’s body is too delicate. There are many mosquitoes in the countryside. I’m afraid they would bite her.” With that, Hu Xiaotong handed over a bag. It contained medicine with a slight smell which could repel mosquitoes. It was mainly wormwood powder.


    After Tang Yuan took it, she whispered, “Even mosquitoes don’t bite Little Master very often. But thank you.”


    Hu Xiaotong did not know and found it a little funny. He did not take her words seriously.


    Was there anyone in this world who was not bitten by mosquitoes?


    Especially in the countryside. There were so many mosquitoes that it made one’s scalp tingle. When the weather became colder and it snowed, the number of mosquitoes would gradually decrease.


    “Just take it. If Ah Yu doesn’t need it, let others use it. It’s good stuff.”


    Tang Yuan: “How much is it?”


    “It’s just a small thing. How can I ask you for money? Go on and do your work. Don’t worry about me. I still have to go to the mountain to pick herbs.” Hu Xiaotong left after saying that. Before he left, he nced at Tang Yuan again.


    Why was this new little girl calling Ah Yu Little Master? Could she be a servant bought by the Wang Family?


    They actually bought such a little girl. What could she do?


    Even if she followed him up the mountain to pick herbs, a pheasant would probably scare her away.


    Of course, this was only limited to Hu Xiaotong’s imagination. His criteria for judging other people’s health was whether they could follow him up the mountain to pick herbs.


    Tang Yuan took the medicine bag back and handed it to Madam Feng. Madam Feng smiled and said, “Little Tong is a good person. He always cares about our family and gives us some medicine bags from time to time. He doesn’t charge much money either.”


    The other vigers also smiled and said, “That’s right. Doctor Hu’s family are all good people. Usually, when we go to seek treatment, we don’t need to pay much money. Speaking of which, we haven’t been sick much recently. Our bodies are very healthy. I’m afraid Doctor Hu’s family won’t be able to earn any money.”


    ...


    “Haha, Doctor Hu is the one who’s happy. I still remember that many people in our vige fell sick one year. Doctor Hu was really busy. He couldn’t even eat two mouthfuls a day and had to go to another family to visit.”


    As they chatted, someone suddenly rushed over and said that Doctor Hu had fallen while picking herbs in the mountains.


    “What? Is Doctor Hu alright?!”
