Chapter 60: There are worms in the body

When the Xia family was still slaughtered by officials, let alone two sheep, even if ten sheep were lost, it would not be a big deal, but now it is a big deal that the two sheep cannot be found, because the family has no money to buy two more sheep!

Xia Shiming made a big mistake, in order to warn him not to do it again in the future, in order to make him no longer pamper himself as a young master, Xia Bo washed his head and punished his son for kneeling for an hour. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Xia Shiming also knew that he was wrong, he didn't complain about his father punishing him, he honestly knelt down to reflect, but maybe he ate something uncooked, coupled with the fear of losing sheep, sweating profusely when looking for sheep, and the lack of nutrition during this period, Xia Shiming launched a high fever that night.

Of course, he couldn't go out when he was sick, but Xia Shiming, who was resting at home, found that his mother never ate breakfast, and You Shi drank the little paste left at the bottom of the pot with water every time.

This is his mother's breakfast!?Xia Shiming thought that he secretly burned small fish and shrimp behind his family's back, and he was very ashamed, he was really sensible at that time, he had to work hard, and he would get ahead in the future and revitalize the Xia family!

Xia Shiming's fever got better quickly, but since then, he tried his best to let himself eat less and save it for You's, so after a few months, he was thinner, he took it for granted, he coughed, and the Xia family thought it was the root of the fever, he had blood in his sputum, and he hid it from everyone.

"Therefore, the eldest brother went to the county seat to get medicine for you, saying that after you had a fever that time, you began to think about eating and drinking, and Lang Zhong would prescribe tonic medicine to you. Xia Lily understood.

Xia Shiming still didn't understand: "Third aunt, I'm fine, I will try to eat as much as possible in the future, please don't tell everyone......"

"Do you think your illness is caused by your deliberate hunger by not eating?" Do you think you can get better by eating more, so you don't need to buy medicine and waste money?" Xia Lily could understand what the kid was thinking.

Xia Shiming nodded embarrassedly, he really didn't need to take medicine for his illness.

"Silly child," Xia Lily said sincerely, "You are really sick, the little fish you eat is undercooked, and there are parasites in the little scare crabs, and they are now destroyed in your body, so you cough and chest pain and can't sleep well......"

Xia Lily is not a person who is curious enough to inquire about other people's affairs, she allows children to have their own secrets, and the reason why she has to ask Xia Shiming to understand is precisely because she found that Xia Shiming may have an infectious disease, and infectious diseases should not be hidden, because they will harm others.

"I have worms in my body......" Xia Shiming was dumbfounded, he was scared, but ......, "Third aunt, you promise not to tell grandpa and my father and my father's ......"

He was afraid that his relatives would know that he ate alone than hearing that there were worms in his body, Xia Lily was helpless, and the eight-year-old child's mind was too heavy to live without getting tired?

"Don't worry, what the third aunt promised you will naturally count, it just so happens that the third aunt has medicine to cure your disease, you just need to take the medicine honestly, pay attention to what the third aunt told you, don't let the insects hurt your grandfather and them, this matter can pass like this, I won't tell you that you are taking the medicine to treat insects, how about it?"

"Hmm!" Xia Shiming nodded vigorously, the third aunt didn't blame him, and promised to keep it a secret for him, which was good.

"By the way, Shi Ming, you objected to your grandfather sending some food to every family in Xixi before, is it because your mother is not full, and you feel sorry for her?" Xia Lily remembered this again.

Xia Shiming nodded vigorously: "I finally have some food at home, I am happy that my mother doesn't have to starve, but if I give it to others, my mother should starve herself again, but I didn't think it through, I didn't expect others to be jealous of us, it was my mistake." ”

When she was talking to Xia Hou last night, Xia Shiming happened to be about to enter the house, Xia Lily noticed the extra shadow on the ground, so she said that she was not afraid of people's eyes, it seems that this child not only heard, but also understood.

"Don't worry, the silver brought by the third aunt is enough for you to eat, and your mother also promised me that I will not starve herself in the future, and she will take care of you and Yaya. Xia Lily comforted him.

"Hmm...... Third aunt, do you also know that my mother is starving?" Xia Shiming reacted, and Xia Lily was not surprised when she heard that You Shi was not eating breakfast.

"I saw that your mother is the most bitter, have you forgotten that I know how to heal? Everyone eats the same diet, and your illness is an exception, so why is your mother the thinnest?" Xia Lily said.

Xia Shiming's eyes immediately turned red, he was not so moved when he told Xia Lily his secret before, and Xia Lily promised to keep it secret for him, this child is really filial to You's family.

So Xia Lily was also strange: "When your grandfather and your father trained you, why didn't you tell them that you felt sorry for your mother?"

"Since my mother quietly didn't eat breakfast, I just didn't want people to know, I want to say that I was worried that my mother would be angry, and besides, my mother was the eldest daughter of the You family's house...... "Xia Shiming said in a low voice, so when he found out, he didn't make a sound, and quietly retreated to the house.

You is also the daughter of a famous family, married into the Xia family as the eldest daughter-in-law of the long house, seeing that she is in trouble and does not forget to educate her children to clean up every day, it can be seen that she is a good face, if everyone knows that she quietly drinks shabu water, can she be happy?

Xia Lihe thought about how she pointed out that You Shi was starving before, she didn't say it in detail because she didn't know how You Shi saved it, but now it seems that she didn't say it in detail, and the one who cares about You Shi the most is still Xia Shiming.

"I once told my sister-in-law that the Xia family must be the ancestor of virtue to have her as a daughter-in-law, as long as she is there, I can rest assured that the Xia family will not be completely finished, now look at you, sister-in-law is a good person with good rewards, and with such a good son as you, she is filial and understands her. "So the original owner doesn't need to worry anymore, the Xia family will have a successor.

"Third aunt......" Xia Shiming blushed again, embarrassed to be praised.

"Take care of your body, don't let your mother worry about you anymore. Xia Lily took the opportunity to say.

"Yes!" told the secret that had been hidden for a long time, and was praised without being blamed and disliked, which made Xia Shiming feel a lot more energetic, and it can be said that his heart disease was cured by Xia Lily first.

"You see, there are herbs in this mountain. Xia Lily walked not far away and pulled out one, "Banlangen." ”

"Are there really herbs!?" Xia Shiming walked over briskly, taking the herbs that he had always seen but had never looked at before, "Is it valuable?"

"I guess it's about the same price as cabbage. Xia Lily doesn't like to deliberately raise prices so that ordinary people can't afford to eat it, she still remembers going to the supermarket with her real sister-in-law last time on vacation, garlic has risen to ten yuan a catty, obviously six yuan a few days ago.

"That's really good, a cabbage can be exchanged for half a catty of millet!" Xia Shiming is already very satisfied, the herbs dug casually in the mountains can be exchanged for food, and the mother doesn't have to save money!

Xia Lily has only been in Xixi for three days, and she doesn't know the price here, she first calculated according to the market in her previous life, a cabbage can be bought for half a catty of millet for a maximum of one or two yuan, and the price of millet has risen in ancient times?

To understand the situation, Xia Lily has to ask Xia Shiming in detail, Xia Shiming is not a little master who only needs to concentrate on studying in the capital, he has bought vegetables and herded sheep, and also went to other villages to change eggs, and is very familiar with the price of vegetable baskets in Xixi and surrounding villages, including the county seat.

According to Xia Shiming, the cheapest piece of land in Changlong County is bud rice, followed by cabbage and radish, because the land here is the most suitable for growing these crops, he once saw with his own eyes in the neighboring village that there are six or seven pounds of radishes, which can be used as a stool to sit on!

Millet is a very expensive tonic in the capital, but it is better near Changlong County, everyone is relatively ignorant of the goods, and it is not as expensive as rice and white * noodles, and the most expensive is white * noodles, because it is not planted here.

"Within a radius of ten miles, there is only one village in Liutang that grows rice, and my father took me to their village to buy eggs, because they are the richest village in the vicinity......"

Xia Shiming didn't say everything, in fact, I heard that rice is the most valuable, and Xiahou and his son also wanted to learn to plant, Xia Bo washed Liutang to ask for advice, but when he went to see it, he learned that Liutang planted rice, and the men there would drink strong wine in big bowls before going to the field, and only then entered the cold water by using the wine to get cold.

Xiahou and his son, don't say that they can't stand soaking in water for a long time, but they are afraid that the strong wine will fall to the ground after a bowl, and they can still work?

Xia Shiming was embarrassed to say that the elders couldn't do it, but he was determined to become a man, he could get into the water and on the battlefield, and support the Xia family, who made him the eldest grandson of the Xia family?

Xia Lily didn't think about it so much, she looked at the depths of the mountain is really greedy, it is common sense that there are treasures in the deep mountains, if you can find any thousand-year-old ginseng to look at the horizon, you won't go to ancient times, but don't say that the Xia family will not agree to her entering the mountain, she is the advanced mountain, and she has to bring good equipment, these have to take time to prepare, it is best to find a reason to go to the county seat.

By noon, Xia Lily had already picked half a basket of banlan roots, and instructed Xia Shiming what kind of ripe and pickable ones, what kind of ones had to wait a little longer, and in addition, he couldn't dig up a piece of land with greed, one was to give the herbs a chance to continue to grow, and the other was to leave some for future generations, in case someone urgently needed it to save his life?

It was Xia Zhong who came to find Xia Lily and Xia Shiming, and he happened to hear Xia Lily say that the medicine collection could not be exhausted, and he couldn't help but sigh: "I just knew when I read the book, I left a line in life, and I would see each other in the future, but I didn't know that a medicine collection job also contains many big truths, no wonder the third sister held the medical book in her hand and couldn't release the volume." ”

Yes, if it weren't for the fact that the original owner likes to read medical books, she suddenly learned these common senses, but I was afraid that the Xia family would have doubted her, Xia Baihe smiled: "The book also said that life is full of knowledge, of course, it is not only the books of the imperial examination that teach the great truth, I have met all kinds of people along the way to Jiangbei, and I have really learned a lot." ”

"It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, this seems to make sense......" Xia Zhongtan sighed again, but when he said it, he felt speechless, and saw that his sister didn't seem to pay attention and was busy changing the topic, "This herb can be sold for a lot of money, right?"
