Chapter 126: As soon as I entered the city, I was robbed
"Ding!"
The sound of knives clashing, followed by the sound of blades sinking into flesh and men crying and wailing.
The kite glanced at the man's flesh and blood blurred lower body, turned around and continued to walk towards the mountain forest.
Leaving Sister-in-law Mu in place, her chest rose and fell violently, trembling all over her body, and she kept throwing away the bloody sickle.
In Kite's opinion, as long as she doesn't cause death, she can still handle it.
At this time, he had already walked out of the periphery and into the mountains and forests.
The trees here are thick and tall, blocking most of the sunlight and the temperature is much cooler.
She continued to walk, and the fawn, who was drinking by the stream, heard the movement and ran away keenly.
But the purpose of her coming today was to get enough food for the Mu Laosan family, and if she found precious herbs, or deer antler velvet, it would be better to exchange them for silver money.
He pulled out a herbal drawing from his bosom and searched for it on the ground.
Suddenly, under a large tree, she found a precious Ganoderma lucidum.
"Hiss!"
A snake roared in her ears.
At the root of the tree hovered a green snake the thickness of a finger with emerald green eyes.
The snake's small eyes were staring at the Lingzhi in her hand, but it was too afraid to step forward.
The kite grabbed the dagger and slowly retreated, but the snake did not follow.
She had heard from the barefoot doctor in the village that wild Ganoderma lucidum could be exchanged for a good price in the town, at least enough for ordinary people to live for three months.
When she got a lingzhi, she stepped back and slowly returned to the outskirts of the mountain forest.
Although the green snake wanted to chase after it, it was too afraid to step forward.
She took the reishi mushroom home.
When she went down the mountain, the man and Sister-in-law Mu were gone, she didn't care, she went straight home, and handed over the Lingzhi to Mu Laosan's daughter-in-law, Granny Mu.
When she saw such a large Ganoderma lucidum, Granny Mu was frightened.
"Ganoderma lucidum, kite, where did you get such a big Lingzhi?"
Mu Qing heard the movement and ran over, and when he saw Lingzhi, his eyes instantly lit up.
"Wow, such a big Ganoderma lucidum can be exchanged for a lot of money, it just so happens that our family has no rice, I can also buy a new set of clothes and make some decent dowry!"
She said that she was about to come and grab it, but her mother slapped her hand away.
"You only think about making a dowry yourself, so don't you want a dowry for your third brother?" she said, carefully putting away the Lingzhi.
Holding Kite'er's hand, he smiled very kindly, "Kite, tell my mother-in-law, where did you get such a big Lingzhi?"
"On the hill. ”
"On the mountain, the mountain is bare, there is not even a hare, how can there be a Ganoderma lucidum?" and Mu Qing both thought she was joking.
"Go inside, and there you are. ”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Granny Mu who was suddenly paralyzed in some surprise, and hurriedly reached out to help her.
Xu saw the fallen leaves on the ends of her hair, Granny Mu and Mu Qing glanced at each other, couldn't suppress their trembling voices, and asked, "You went to the mountains?"
"Hmm. ”
She was a little strange, why did she hear that she went to the mountains, Granny Mu and Mu Qing would have such a big reaction, wasn't it very smooth just now?
Mu Qing said anxiously: "It's very evil there, don't go next time!"
"Hmm. ”
She nodded her head in agreement.
Granny Mu touched the Lingzhi in her arms with a strange expression, and said to Mu Qing: "Kite has been gone for so long, it's time to be hungry, Kite Er, you go and bring out the steamed buns in the kitchen and give them to Kite to eat." ”
"Oh, you're coming with me, kite. ”
Looking at the two steamed buns scattered in the pot, she opened the food box next to her, which contained the food of the three men of the Mu family at noon, but there was only half a bowl of gruel with a clear bottom, and half a piece of black flour steamed buns for one person.
She didn't take the steamed buns handed over by Mu Qing, and asked her, "If you can keep all the food, will it be enough for you to survive until the next autumn harvest?"
Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding the meaning of her words, "Plus the sweet potatoes stored in the winter cellar should be fine, but this is a dream, and our family has no money, so we can only pay food." ”
The kite didn't speak, she broke a quarter of the steamed bun, chewed it and swallowed it slowly.
This is their lunch.
There was Mu Dalang lying on the bed who couldn't move, and the food was even worse, only a little vegetable soup with scattered vegetable leaves, and no oil and water.
He lay on the bed, seeing that he was getting thinner.
In the afternoon, Granny Mu didn't do anything, she took a small half packet of brown sugar, ran to the barefoot doctor's house at the head of the village, and secretly asked him the price of Ganoderma lucidum.
When he returned, he chartered an ox cart and went up to the city.
In the evening, the kite was cutting pigweed in the yard when she suddenly heard an exclamation.
"The third daughter-in-law, you can hold on!"
"Ahh
"Mother?"
Mu Qing, who was cooking in the courtyard, heard the shouts outside, put down the knife apron and before he could untie it, he saw his mother lying on the ox cart with a serious injury, with less air in and more out, and he couldn't even say a word.
"Qing'er, hurry up and send your mother to the house, the villagers have already called for your father to go, get your mother to bed. ”
"The injury is so serious, why don't you send it for treatment?"
When Kite saw this scene, she was very puzzled.
Granny Mu has external injuries all over her body, and if she is sent for treatment in time, she will not worry about her life at all.
Send her home and let her die?
Mu Qinghong asked with red eyes, "What about my mother's money from selling Ganoderma lucidum?"
The second uncle who was driving the car took off his straw hat, revealing two bruised eyes, and said with a gloomy face: "Don't mention it, I was robbed as soon as I entered the city, and I didn't even see the medicine store." ”
"Mother!"
Mu Er and Mu San, who ran all the way back, pounced on Granny Mu and wailed.
"How can my mother be robbed when she enters the city, and what about the guards? What about the officers and soldiers? Don't they care?"
"Who are we? The guards in the city said that we were making trouble, and the big stick couldn't help but say that they beat us, and the wounds on your mother's body were caused by them!"
Kite's eyes darkened, and she said in a deep voice: "It's too much to deceive people." ”
"Don't be stunned, Mu Laosan, quickly carry your daughter-in-law in, in case it doesn't work, don't be on my ox cart!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mu Sanlang and Mu Qinghong were about to step forward to quarrel with the second uncle who pulled the cart.
The people around were noisy, and finally carried people in.
Kite walked to the bed to take a look at Granny Mu, but was pushed away by Mu Qing.
"It's all your fault, if you hadn't gotten back a Ganoderma lucidum, my mother would have been fine!"
Mu Sanlang also didn't speak with red eyes, they all knew that what Mu Qing said was unreasonable, but now that Mu Laosan's family was in trouble, no one dared to speak for an outsider at this time.
Kite didn't say anything, she squeezed to Granny Mu's side and lifted her clothes.
Mu Saburo's eyes turned red, "Kite, what are you doing?"
Granny Mu also pulled the painful ** because of the adhesion of the clothes.
