medicinal bath
Time always passed quickly. In the midst of laughter, another month passed.
There were two large stoves built in the open space behind the kitchen. Inside, there was a bonfire and two large pots.
The children were already three years old, so there was no morning exercise or class today.
Master Fahai had chosen a date for the medicinal bath, which would be held once every ten days.
The water in the big pot began to boil. Fahai threw some herbs and roots that he had picked back into the pot. From time to time, he would throw some medicinal pills that he had prepared. Occasionally, he would also throw some dried insects into the pot. The fragrance assailed his nose.
"Yay, yay, yay, I can take a medicinal bath again today.”Li Baiwan cheered.
"Master, it would be great if I could soak in it once a day.”Li Bainan looked at the pot and actually swallowed his saliva.
Li Baichan looked at her brother and smiled." Brother Nan 'er, you don't want to drink more, do you? Hehe."
"Hehehe, I also heard my brother swallowing his saliva.”After Li Baiji finished speaking, she patted her brother's shoulder with her small hand.
Li Baidong stood there quietly. His steadiness and magnanimity made the adults click their tongues.
It was difficult for the elders to see him cry. His bearing was completely inconsistent with his three-year-old age. His small shoulders always gave the other little fellows a sense of security. This big brother was actually only born a few hours earlier.
"Amitabha. Good, good. Disciples, when you're older, I'll bring you to identify those medicinal herbs. Many of the medicinal herbs had long disappeared. It would be easy for Master to find a replacement.”Fahai explained. He had too few disciples, so he could only be patient.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master." Li Baidong's childish voice rang out with respect.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master." They all liked to learn from their big brother.
The two cauldrons of medicinal herbs were somewhat different. Fahai had carefully prepared them in his room for three years. It was not easy.
When his disciples were only a few months old, Fahai would often ask Bai Susu to bake some pancakes and make some jerky. Then, he would run around the mountains alone for months. When he came back, it was the same as the first time everyone saw him. He was tattered and in a sorry state, and there was a big bag of strange medicinal herbs. Li Xiaoyao wanted to go with him, but he didn't let him. He knew that Wado needed someone to take care of him.
When they got home, they slept for an entire day, which made everyone sigh.
Xu Ming and Mr. Chen were sitting on a small bench and chatting. Li Xiaoyao and Bai Susu were cleaning a few big basins. The babies would be soaking separately for three hours later.
The water in the big pot became thicker and thicker. Fahai poured some dark red liquid into it, giving people a strange feeling.
Why was it a little different from usual?
The few little fellows thought to themselves as they stared at the boiling medicinal liquid in the pot with their beautiful little eyes.
Today's medicinal bath would not be as comfortable as usual, and it would be a little painful. Fahai greeted them and asked Li Xiaoyao and his wife to take good care of their son in case they jumped out.
Fahai's face was solemn, and his white beard trembled as if he was muttering something. Then, he grabbed a handful of unknown white powder and threw it in.
"Brother Nan, I have a bad feeling that we will cry today.”Li Baiwan suddenly became serious and whispered in Ling's ear.
Li Bainan's small body shivered. Sister Wan 'er's premonitions seemed to be very accurate. No matter how many times she said it, everyone would be unlucky. Although this kid was only three years old, he understood after looking at the pot. He leaned over to his brother and sister and whispered.
Li Baidong furrowed his brows and looked at the adults surrounding him. Then, he felt relieved.
Li Bainan and the others knew that soaking in the medicinal liquid was good for their health, but they couldn't suppress their sister's words and quietly retreated.
"What are you doing? Stand there and don't move." Li Xiaoyao said.
"Daddy, can you not make a bath?" Li Baiwan raised her head and looked at her father.
Li Xiaoyao smiled. He would never get angry with his children." Alright, then give your share of the medicinal liquid to your brothers and sisters." Wan 'er, what do you think? It was just that they would soak in it for a longer time.”
"Come, come. Those who don't want to soak, come stand beside mother. But only four can stand, and the last one must be soaked.”Bai Susu was also smiling.
"Daddy, Mommy, you're doing this again.”
"Aiyo, I told you that daddy and mommy can't be taught.”
After the two youngest children finished speaking, they stood beside their eldest brother, Li Baidong.
Li Baidong smiled, but his little face became even more determined." Brothers and sisters, this medicine will definitely hurt, but you'll be fine as long as you endure it."”
Listening to the children's conversation, the adults were also very emotional.
"Good, good. Eldest disciple is right.”Fahai looked at his disciples and asked Li Xiaoyao to fill a few large basins with medicinal liquid.
After a few pots were filled, they were carried into two separate bedrooms. Li Xiaoyao was in charge of the boy, and Bai Susu was in charge of guarding the girl.
"Aiyo, mother, it hurts. Boohoo, I'm not taking the medicinal bath anymore.”
"Mother, this water is too hot. Can you stop soaking?”
"Mother, I want to come out.”
"Alright, two of you go out and one of you stay to soak in the medicinal liquid.”Bai Susu said the same thing.
The two boys gritted their teeth and cheered each other on.
"Little brother, you can do it."
"Big Brother, it's so hot. Daddy, can you fan us?”
"No, Master said that it will be effective if you sweat all over.”Li Xiaoyao didn't relent.
