While Xia Yinhua was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, she heard the sound of chopping firewood from the kitchen, clicking, and thought to herself, it would be good if she had such a hard-working and honest husband. 2. As soon as she thought about it, she suddenly felt a hot face, smiled shyly, and quickly put the dishes and chopsticks back in the kitchen, washing the dishes with her back to Yang Xianmao, and was embarrassed to look back at him, but her ears were pricked up to listen to the sound of him clicking and chopping firewood.

Xia Yinhua's hands and feet were very sharp, and she quickly washed the dishes and chopsticks, turned around and was about to clean the tea shop, but saw that Yang Xianmao was already walking out of the kitchen to clean the room, and couldn't help but be taken aback, could it be that he had already finished chopping the firewood? Turning his head to look, sure enough, the firewood was all chopped and neatly stacked in the corner of the house.

But it turned out that Yang Xianmao not only has great strength, but also has martial arts, this chopping firewood is a piece of cake, a firewood splits in half, Xia Yinhua needs at least five or six axes, he can do it with an axe, and it is very accurate to throw it to the corner of the house, and he doesn't even need to move his feet, so it's fast and good, plus there is not too much firewood, Xia Yinhua finished washing the dishes, and he finished chopping.

So Yang Xianmao then cleaned up the tea shop, swept the floor and wiped the table.

He swept the floor clean, set up the tea table, and then, carrying his medicine box, said to Xia Yinhua: "I have washed the clothes, and I will send them to you tomorrow." ”

"No need, I'll wash it myself, you can just send it to me after you change it tomorrow." ”

Yang Xianmao didn't speak, and went out of the door.

Xia Yinhua stood at the door, silently watching his back disappear at the end of the bluestone street, and a touch of shyness appeared on her pretty face.

Yang Xianmao walked a few streets to the inn where he lived, this inn was the most basic kind, a large shop, except for the peddlers and pawns, most of them were coolies on the dock.

These coolies were tired all day, and when they came back, they had already eaten and fell asleep, and some of them sat on the bunks and talked loudly, nothing more than talking about the women around them and other topics that men were interested in.

Yang Xianmao didn't look at them, and no one talked to Yang Xianmao, they all knew that he was a weirdo, and he didn't talk to him, so he ignored him. He went to his bed and placed the medicine box at his feet. He put the clothes that Xia Yinhua helped him take off in the wooden basin, and then took off the clothes of the dead man on his body, wearing only pants, and then took the basin to the well outside to carry water to wash his clothes.

The wings on three sides of their courtyard were occupied by men, and in the wings opposite, there were some women, almost all of whom were washerwomen in the laundry room on the street. Most of these women were from the countryside, and they went to the laundry room in the city to help people wash their clothes, and they washed a piece of clothing for a penny, and stayed in this inn at night.

A woman with a plate face saw Yang Xianmao squatting by the well to wash clothes, so she walked over quickly and said, "Little brother, I'll help you wash your clothes, can you charge you two cents?"

Yang Xianmao didn't raise his head, nor did he say anything, and continued to wash the clothes in a hurry, and the plate-faced woman snorted and said: "I wash people's clothes in the laundry room, a piece of clothing is a penny, you have two sets of clothes and pants, it stands to reason that you will be charged four yuan, I only charge you two yuan, and you are not willing." ”

Yang Xianmao still ignored it and washed his clothes in a hurry.

The woman snorted with a cold face and said, "Forget it, if you are idle, you will be idle, I will help you wash it for a penny, and I will help you dry it cleanly, okay?"

Yang Xianmao still ignored it and continued to wash his clothes.

The plate-faced woman snorted in frustration and said, "I can't give up a penny, I can't make money for your whole life, and I will die of poverty." He turned around and went back.

Yang Xianmao washed all the clothes and dried them on the bamboo pole very seriously, and then came back with the basin and got into the quilt to prepare for sleep.

Most of these coolies also got into the quilt and prepared to sleep, when a strong man walked in, stood at the door and said loudly: "Liu Wuye is going to fight with the surnamed Ma tomorrow, after that, someone who is willing to help occupy the field will be five yuan per person, and those who fight will be fifty yuan per person, and those who see blood will be five hundred yuan each, if they are injured, the medical expenses will be covered by Liu Wuye, and an additional five hundred yuan will be given." Are there any who are willing to go? Some of them raise their hands, and I'll see. ”

As soon as they heard this, many of the coolies immediately raised their hands and said, "Who are you fighting with? Are there many people over there?"

The strong man said: "The man surnamed Ma also has a group of coolies, who are also hired for money, and it all depends on personal ability. This is better than doing coolies on the dock to make money, as long as you beat the other party to blood, 500 Wen Ke will be in hand, so they are all beaten hard, as long as they are not killed, don't worry if they are disabled, there is Liu Wuye to cover it. ”

Hearing this, a number of coolies raised their hands to express their willingness to participate, and the strong man nodded them one by one, and then said: "Those who are willing to go, tomorrow at noon and noon, gather under the tree on the west side of the wharf, and all of us will have a white cloth around their heads, and we will know each other well." We have people watching from the sidelines, and we won't leak money for everyone, but it's not okay to get more money without doing it. Don't be too late to go, there's no one left, you only came after the fight, then you didn't get any money. ”

Everyone raised their hands in agreement, and the strong man went out, and these people discussed this matter again, and they were so excited that they didn't sleep, except for Yang Xianmao, who was lying in the quilt, as if he hadn't heard anyone speak at all.

Liu Wuye and Ma Zhangbao are the two largest shipwharfs in Yuzhou Wharf, and they have a lot of cargo ships and shipwrights under them, and they often fight in groups because of business. Of course, in addition to their thugs, they often come to the inn to pay some coolies to help them stand on their feet, and even fight. Money can make ghosts grind, and dozens of people can be gathered every time, and the fight between the two sides is very lively.

Yang Xianmao would not join in this kind of excitement, he slept peacefully.

But someone didn't let him sleep in peace, and when he was about to fall asleep in a daze, a woman at the door said loudly: "Hey, Xiaolangzhong, that Xiaolangzhong who is setting up a stall at the door of the tea shop, are you not inside? ”

Yang Xianmao sat up, drooped his shoes, and walked to the door wearing pants, and saw a melon-faced girl standing there at the door, so he asked, "I am, what's wrong?"

When the girl saw Yang Xianmao ** on her upper body, she immediately blushed, quickly turned her head to the side, leaned sideways and said, "Why don't you wear clothes?"

"I washed it and didn't dry it. ”

"Then you don't borrow a piece of clothing to wear. ”

"Aren't you going to see a doctor? ”

Yang Xianmao said that he turned around and was about to leave, but the girl hurriedly shouted: "Don't go, of course you have to see, forget it, you can come over like this, anyway, you are wearing pants." My sister has a terrible stomachache, I heard that you treat people for toothache, and it won't hurt after taking your medicine, do you have any way to make her stomach not hurt?"

"Let's see. Yang Xianmao walked to the opposite side room, and the girl hurriedly took two steps forward and walked in front of him, so as not to see his ** appearance.

When Yang Xianmao walked into the chase shop of these washermen opposite, he saw that some of these women shrunk into the quilt, and some were half-naked.

Yang Xianmao didn't look at those women, only lowered his head and asked, "Who has a stomachache?"

"My sister, come here, here. The girl led Yang Xianmao to a bunk, and saw a young woman on the bunk holding her stomach, sweating profusely.

Yang Xianmao took her arm, took the lower pulse, and then looked at her tongue again, asked her the specific location of the pain, and learned that it was in the lower abdomen. Yang Xianmao said: "You are suffering from menstrual pain caused by cold and damp condensation. I'll help you push it down, you lie down. ”

The young woman hurriedly lay on her back as Yang Xianmao said. Yang Xianmao lifted her clothes, repeatedly pushed and rubbed her lower abdomen with one palm, and then tapped her Qihai, Guan Yuan, and Blind Yu with her thumb, and then asked her to lie on her stomach, massaging her waist and back with her hands, rubbing her waist Kidney Yu and Waist Yang Guan horizontally, and tapping the Blood Sea and Sanyin Jiao with her fingers.

After only a moment, the woman's voice was greatly reduced, she breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from her head and said in a weak voice, "Much better, thank you." ”

Yang Xianmao nodded, turned around and walked out, and the girl hurriedly called him, "Hey, how much? ”

"No need, just a little bit. He didn't look back, but went straight out of the house and went back. The little girl said to the young woman, "This man is a strange man, who does not charge for the treatment of people." ”

The young woman nodded gratefully and said, "He is really a good man, and a good man will definitely be rewarded." ”

The girl said, "Sister, you will die of pain every month, and every month in the future, call him to give you a massage." ”

The young woman sighed and said, "What can be done but this." Lang Zhong said, my disease is the root of the disease left by the cold water in the confinement, and the root cannot be broken, but no one has ever been able to make me less painful, and it is not possible to take medicine or needles, and today he just pushed and pulled a few times, and I basically did not feel pain, he really has the ability. ”

The women in the room began to talk about it, and one of them said, "I heard that he set up a stall at the dock to cure people for toothaches, and he took back a packet of tooth powder and sprinkled it in his bad teeth, and it lasted for days." ”

Another woman said, "It doesn't hurt for him to extract a tooth, so he only charges a penny." Other Lang Zhong received 20 Wen and 30 Wen, the pain was like killing a pig, this Xiao Lang is honest, but really, this ability is amazing. ”

"God, is there such a cheap Langzhong in the world?"

"It's true, I've heard people say that. He's really a good guy. The girl said earnestly.

A woman looked at the girl and quipped: "What's the matter? You hurry up and hook up with this little man, or you will go home with a piece of treasure, maybe with his medical skills, he may make a lot of money in the future, don't miss it. ”

The girl's name was Qiu Ju, and when she heard this, her face turned red, and she smacked her and said, "Your sister-in-law is really funny about others." ”

The plate-faced woman who was going to wash Yang Xianmao's clothes before said: "This little man is very picky, just now he washed his clothes, I said two pennies to help him wash, he didn't do it, he didn't do it when I picked up a penny, I can't look down on the man who picks the door like this." ”

The young woman who had a stomachache before was Qiu Ju's sister Lotus, and said at the moment: "He only charges a penny for medical treatment, how can he have the money to ask you to wash clothes." Besides, it's the man who picks on like this is the Gu family, if he has a few dollars, and even his own clothes have to be washed by someone, how can such a man take care of the family? It's a pity that Xiao Langzhong is only afraid that he is not a person who casually agrees to marriage, otherwise, if I really find him to give me a sister, I am really a hundred satisfied. ”

Qiu Ju was even more embarrassed, and said to her sister fiercely: "Next time you hurt again, I won't call him, let you hurt, see if you still have a mouth to talk about me." ”

The washerwomen in the room giggled.
