Zhang Fangyuan hummed a little tune at home, happier than New Year.

He boiled some water and took a bath in the clean room in the backyard, washing his head and body. He wouldn’t go to the city tomorrow, but planned to spend the day with his uncle.

First, after his parents passed away, his field was abandoned. His fourth uncle couldn't see the field wasted, so he even took their family's 20 mu of land to plant. There were only three people in the family, Now that Xiaomao was a little older, he could help out in the fields, or cooked at home. In the past, it was completely managed by the fourth uncle and his wife.

In the middle of bathing, he suddenly heard a knock on the door from outside the yard.

"Who?, it's so late!"

Zhang Fangyuan wanted to take a bath before going out. Chen Si was probably the one who came at this point, so it was okay to keep that brat waiting for a while. However, the knocking on the door outside became more and more urgent. He irritably pulled the cloth hanging on the side, wrapped it around his waist, and walked outside: "What's the matter? Do you want someone..."

Xu He was worried that Zhang Fangyuan had already fallen asleep, he raised his hand to knock harder, but the courtyard door was suddenly pulled open.

Zhang Fangyuan's upper body was naked, with water dripping from the tip of his hair, to his collarbone  slid down to his firm and full chest, Xu He's eyes widened inadvertently, and he saw that there was only a thin cloth tied around his waist , he quickly turned away.

Zhang Fangyuan didn't expect that the person who came was Xu He, he wanted to use something to cover him up, but there was nothing to cover him in the yard, so he had to half cover his body with his hands: "What's wrong?"

Xu He avoided his eyes, briefly talked about his father's affairs: "I want to borrow your cart and go to the city to invite a doctor quickly."

Zhang Fangyuan frowned, without nonsense he said: "The horse is in the backyard, you go directly to pull it out, I will go to put on some clothes in the room."

After speaking, he strode back to the room, and Xu He quickly followed.

When he led the black and strong horse to the front yard, Zhang Fangyuan also came out wearing a coat, his hands and feet were busy, he didn't even wear the inner lining, and the clothes were hastily tied up. Zhang Fangyuan's chest was exposed, and his wet hair was scattered on his back. He pulled Xiao Hei and got on the horse.

"I will go to the city on horseback to invite the doctor, and it will be soon. Don't worry, just go back and watch your father."

Xu He nodded quickly, and when Zhang Fangyuan was about to ride his horse away, he thought that it was not right for Xu He to be here alone, so he pulled him onto the horse again, took him for a while, let him go home, and galloped out on his own.

The horse ran fast in the dark, and it was only a few hooves before it was far away. Xu He didn't stay outside any longer, and hurried back.

"Did he really go to the city on his own to invite a doctor?"

Liu Xianglan was circling outside the yard, afraid that Xu He wouldn't be able to say anything to that King of Hell to borrow a cart, but she didn't expect that he would make such a trip in person. You needed to know that the two were not very close to each other.

"Yes, maybe he has already in the official road."

"That's good, that's good, ride fast, fast..." The flustered Liu Xianglan was slightly relieved, if something happened to her man, she wouldn't know how to live .

Xu Shaochun was a little apprehensive: " He ge’er, how could he agree so kindly?"

Zhang Fangyuan may not be a very enthusiastic person, his temper could be good and bad, although he occasionally brought something for the villagers, but it was just a matter of little effort, and the villagers would give him some fruits and vegetables as a reward. It would take so much trouble for him to race to the city in the middle of the night, even brothers had to be on good terms to agree.

"Did you say something to him? In mid-February is the exam, and I'm going to be engaged to the Fei family."

Liu Xianglan had always been partial to Xu Shaochun, but seeing her daughter still thinking about her own marriage at this time, she also frowned slightly.

"Don't worry, I didn't mention the second sister."

"Then why did he agree so readily?"

Xu He didn't bother to break up with her: "He is a warm-hearted person."

After saying that, he went into the room to see Xu Changren, some porridge was boiled in the pot, and it was almost ready now, so he brought some for Xu Changren to eat.

The whole family waited restlessly. It took more than an hour and a half, when the sound of horseshoes came from outside the yard, Liu Xianglan hurriedly got up and went out to look.

"You're a fidgety kid, you're going to shake the old man's bones apart."

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Doctor Wang is considerate." Zhang Fangyuan got off his horse, helped the old doctor, and carried the medicine box into the house, and introduced to Liu Xianglan who was beside him: " This is doctor Wang who specializes in orthopedics at Shencaotang in the city."

Liu Xianglan thanked the doctor for coming over at night, and led him into the room to see her husband.

Although Doctor Wang complained a few words, he didn't say anything more when he entered the room and saw the patient. He immediately went to see the patient.

Xu He brought the tea and gave it to Zhang Fangyuan who was at the door.

Zhang Fangyuan looked at Xu He with soft eyes. Although he didn't speak, their eyes met, and they seemed to have said a lot. Taking advantage of the time when he took the tea bowl, he lightly touched Xu He's hand with the back of his hand.

The people in the room didn't know about the petty actions between the two, but Xu Shaochun thought that Zhang Fangyuan was running errands for her, so she hid in the room embarrassingly.

"

The body is just a bumpy skin wound, the most important thing is the legs. It hurts some muscles and bones, and he has lost too much blood. he need to nourish and rest. It takes a hundred days to heal the muscles and bones. You can't go to the ground to be busy."

The doctor knew that everyone in the village couldn't be free, so he made a special note.

"You have to go to the city to change the dressing regularly and for follow-up visits. In spring, it’s easy to be infected. If the wound is infected, it will be troublesome."

At this time, no one dared to refute, but they were very grateful. Liu Xianglan paid for the medicine. You need to pay a high price for seeing a doctor in the city, and it was even worse in the middle of the night. Not counting the money for the medicine, it cost more than 100 copper coins. Although Liu Xianglan was digging and searching, she still took the overall situation into consideration at this time, knowing what was the most important.
