Chapter 153 Harmony
They both slept soundly.
I am the type who never moves once I fall asleep, so I slept quite soundly that night.
"Xiaoman, do you have flour at home?" Xu Wenyan yawned. He had been craving for this pancake for a long time.
Xiaoman woke up early, lit the fire and boiled a pot of hot water.
"There should be some. Let me look for it." When he first arrived, Wang Zeren gave some to everyone. Xiaoman couldn't bear to eat it, so he kept it for himself.
Xiaoman rummaged in the corner of the room and handed a small cloth bag to Xu Wenyan.
There isn't much flour in it, probably only enough for one or two meals.
There is no baking soda for making dough now, so the noodles won’t taste very good. Xu Wenyan plans to wait until noon to think about it.
After the two of them came to Wang Zeren's tent, Xiaoman went to busy herself with her work, leaving only Wang Zeren and Doctor Zhao in the room.
"Oh, you must be Doctor Xu." The speaker was a middle-aged man in his forties. His hair was already a little gray. He was not tall but spoke very kindly.
At this time, he was walking towards Xu Wenyan with a smile on his face.
"I'm not much of a doctor. Doctor Zhao, you're too polite."
Zhao Shanhe invited the man to sit down. As a doctor, he was not arrogant at all, which made Xu Wenyan feel a little good about this man.
"I wonder what method Doctor Xu used to treat the dog poison?"
There were only three low stools in the room. The one next to it was occupied by Zhao Shanhe, so Xu Wenyan could only sit next to Wang Zeren.
Xu Wenyan nodded awkwardly to Wang Zeren, then sat down: "It's not a difficult method. After disinfecting the wound, take the dog's brain and crush it and let it stand for a while. Apply the crushed brain to the bite wound, and then use drugs to reduce swelling, detoxify, and treat external injuries."
Zhao Shanhe listened very attentively, and then the two discussed some other difficult and complicated diseases. In these areas, Xu Wenyan could only be said to be a layman, and he only told Zhao Shanhe a few herbs he knew that were suitable for treating the symptoms.
Through what Zhao Shanhe said, Xu Wenyan also gained a lot of knowledge in medical skills. This was the result of communication and learning between the two doctors, so it couldn't be said that one took advantage of the other.
But these polite old sayings made Xu Wenyan feel a little uncomfortable, and he had to think carefully every time he was about to say them.
It’s not like talking to the villagers, where you can just speak plainly.
"Doctor Xu is truly knowledgeable. I really admire him."
The two of them talked for a few more words, and Wang Zeren beside them seemed a little impatient: "Haven't you discussed it yet?"
Meeting Wang Zeren's eyes, Zhao Shanhe stood up hurriedly and said, "Doctor Xu, please come to my clinic when you have time. It's next door. Commander Wang, I'm leaving now."
Zhao Shanhe took a few steps back to the door, not forgetting to close it when he left.
"Xu Wenyan, are you hungry? I have some pastries brought back from the county." After Zhao Shanhe left, Wang Zeren seemed like a different person.
Xu Wenyan was not polite, he grabbed a piece of dessert and started eating: "What do you want to see me about?"
"You should divorce that big guy and follow me."
"Puff...cough cough cough!" Hearing this, Xu Wenyan choked and spat out the cake in his mouth. He took a big sip of tea and looked at Wang Zeren with a puzzled look: "Ah?"
Wang Zeren crossed his arms and thought for a while: "Do you think it's too fast? I can pursue you. I will give you whatever you like."
"No, brother! I'm married."
"I know, you can get divorced after getting married." Wang Zeren said righteously.
Xu Wenyan was also puzzled. The thoughts of the ancients were much more open than those of modern people. He used to live a feudal and conservative life.
Seeing Xu Wenyan didn't say anything, Wang Zeren stood up: "Do you think it's too sudden? I can pursue you slowly."
"Stop, stop, stop, brother. Now, this is an ethical issue. I said I look like your mother, but now you want me to marry you? This is hard to judge."
"You just look like me, but you're not my mother." Then Wang Zeren leaned over and smiled: "Do you want to take advantage of me?"
"Forget it. One day I will catch you." Wang Zeren sat down again.
Xu Wenyan wanted to say something else when there was a knock on the door: "Commander Wang? Are you there?"
Ermazi was shouting outside the door, his voice sounding a little anxious.
Wang Zeren finally had a chance to talk to Xu Wenyan, but now he was interrupted again. His face darkened again: "Come in."
Seeing this, Xu Wenyan became even more certain that this person must have a split personality!
"what's up?"
Er Mazi glanced at Xu Wenyan, then looked at Wang Zeren's ugly face, and said nervously: "The leaves of the crops planted in the field are yellowing, and many of them are malnourished. If this continues, this year's harvest will only drop again and again."
This farmland has not been planted for more than half a year, and its fertility has been greatly reduced. Xu Wenyan has also seen this. They neither burned the fields nor made compost. The golden juice was sprinkled directly on the plants, and most of them had root rot.
"Take me to see it." After Wang Zeren stood up, he pulled Xu Wenyan up with him. Not sure if it was because she was Chen Sanlin's wife, but now that Wang Zeren was pulling her, Xu Wenyan always felt like she was cheating.
The three of them quickly arrived at the fields. The edges of the leaves of the radish and pumpkin seedlings had turned yellow, and the plants were short. If they didn't remedy the situation, they would all be wiped out.
"You are really a bunch of good-for-nothings. You don't even know how to farm." Er Mazi saw that Wang Zeren was in a bad mood. In order to avoid getting himself in trouble, he could only divert Wang Zeren's attention.
But how could those refugees be willing to talk? They have fled all the way from the southwest to here, relying only on physical strength and financial resources.
Those who are physically strong may not necessarily know how to farm, and they are all young people. Those who are financially capable are even less likely to farm, as most of them are big families in some county or city.
How can these problems be solved without the guidance of an experienced old farmer?
The refugees lowered their heads and their spines bulged. It was too easy for soldiers to kill an ordinary citizen.
The atmosphere around was eerily quiet.
"The soil has become a little sour, so sprinkle some wood ash on it. Don't apply fertilizer for the time being. Pile the golden juice, wood ash and rotten grass leaves from the forest together and ferment them for half a month.
The soil needs to be sprinkled with some wood ash as soon as possible. It won’t die, but if you want it to grow again you have to wait for half a month for the compost to be ready.”
Xu Wenyan stated the solution in an orderly manner, and everyone looked at him, as if questioning him.
"Believe it or not." Xu Wenyan stood next to Wang Zeren with his arms folded. He was just there to watch the fun, but he couldn't bear to see the food die of disease.
Only those who have truly experienced hunger know how hard it is to get food.
For such a large area of land, the loss would be several hundred kilograms of grain.
"Just do as he says." Wang Zeren just said in a deep voice, and walked back with Xu Wenyan.
