Chapter 24: Saving Lives

Thyme didn't see it when she came out of the bank, and the shopkeeper who had exchanged money for her just now quickly took out a portrait from the drawer.

The person on the portrait is the thyme just now.

Thyme left the bank and went straight to the bazaar.

Yesterday I went into the city because I couldn't get too many things, and I was accompanied by Xiahou Yuchen, so I didn't buy meat, but today I have the silver, and Thyme plans to go back by carriage, so I plan to buy more food and go home, and I don't plan to come out again in the near future.

In the bazaar, there are a lot of people at this time, and Thyme is carrying a silver ticket on her body, and she walks very carefully, she will not forget that there are also many pickpockets in the bazaar.

Fortunately, the food in this era is similar to that of modern times, and the staple meat is pork.

This time, the thyme was not ambiguous, and directly weighed three or four catties of meat, and at the end of the day, he bought two pieces of the bones.

Carrying fresh meat, thyme did not continue to wander around the market.

I went to the gate of the city and found a carriage, and Thyme loaded all the things she had bought into the carriage, and then went out of the city.

And just after Thyme left the city, a carriage followed Thyme's carriage out of the city.

Thyme here didn't know that she was being followed, and when she touched the silver ticket in her arms, Thyme felt very down-to-earth, and with some of the four hundred taels of silver, she didn't have to worry about the rest of her life.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the village, and the groom enthusiastically helped Thyme unload all the things on the cart and helped Thyme deliver it to the house.

Xiahou Yuchen was very surprised to see Thyme buy so many things back, but he knew that he didn't have much silver at home, and he didn't need silver for all of this in front of him.

Thyme couldn't help but smile when she saw Xiahou Yuchen's stupid appearance.

"Come on, don't be stupid, go and help carry everything into the house." Thyme was relieved that she had paid the groom the money.

In the courtyard, Xiahou Yuchen looked at the big bags of things on the ground, and his heart was very happy.

"Mother, you still bought meat." Xiahou Yuchen remembered that he hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

Thyme sorted the things one by one, and said: "Wait for the mother to stew lotus root soup for you, you are growing tall and need nutrition now, have you practiced writing at home today?" ”

Xiahou Yuchen nodded and helped Thyme carry things into the house.

"Mother has practiced calligraphy well, mother, you teach me other words! I'll write my name anymore. Xiahou Yuchen's eyes were full of longing.

Thyme looked at Xiahou Yuchen with satisfaction, Xiahou Yuchen was very obedient and studied very seriously.

"This is not in a hurry, wait until the sky is a little cloudy and then teach you new words, the sun outside is too big today, you can take a nap at noon."

After Baili finished speaking, she handed the steamed buns she bought back to Xiahou Yuchen: "Take it and eat it, my mother won't prepare food for you at noon." ”

Thyme still has to concoct medicinal herbs, so naturally there is no time for Xiahou Yuchen to prepare food.

Xiahou Yuchen nodded, picked up the steamed bun and sat aside to eat.

The scorching sun outside is like fire, scorching the earth, and even layers of air waves can be seen inside the courtyard dam.

The preparation of medicinal herbs is the processing of various drugs. Many of these medicinal materials must be processed specifically in order to make them fully exert their efficacy and avoid or alleviate the first reaction.

There are many processing methods of traditional Chinese medicine, and the ones often used are washing, soaking, stir-frying, cannoning, moxibustion, calcining, and quenching.

The herbs picked from thyme are all crude medicines, and many of them cannot be used directly as medicinal materials, and must be concocted.

And this method of concocting is also very particular, which is why Ouyang Qingchen said that the concocted herbs are half more expensive than crude drugs.

Because concocting herbs is very laborious.

Thyme concocted the herbs picked up according to their own preparation methods.

At noon, because there was no rest, thyme's spirit was not very good.

Just after cutting the herbs in his hand and about to stew in the kitchen, there was a knock on the door outside.

Listening to the frequency of the rapid knocks, Baili Spice thought that something big must have happened.

Thyme hurriedly stepped forward to open the door.

A strange woman stood at the door with a panicked face, and when she saw Thyme open the door, she immediately begged anxiously: "Mrs. Xiahou, please go to my house and have a look!" My father-in-law fainted in the field just now, and I don't know what's wrong, so help me go and see! ”

Thyme frowned, she was not very willing to go, after all, she was not a doctor, she just knew medicine, and she could deal with simple illnesses, and if she encountered incurable diseases, Thyme would definitely not be able to deal with it, and she didn't want to get herself into trouble.

"Auntie said slowly, what's going on?" Thyme wants to figure things out before she decides whether to help or not.

The woman was a little flustered and anxious, but still said: "At noon, I asked my father-in-law to go home and rest for a while, but he saw that there was not much rice left in the field, so he told me to go back to prepare lunch first, and I went back, and when I prepared lunch and went to the field to call him, I saw him fainting in the field, and his face was a little wrong, so I asked someone to carry him back, and this is the case, Mrs. Xiahou, please help, help me go and see!" ”

The woman's voice was anxious, and Thyme frowned, but finally relented and nodded.

"I'll say I'm not a doctor first, I went to see it, if I can't be treated, don't expect it, I suggest you go to the city to ask for a doctor, I can only promise you to go and see."

The woman knew that Thyme didn't want to cause trouble, and there was no better way at the moment, after all, it would take a lot of time to get to the city this time, as long as Thyme could delay a while, just like treating Ping'er.

"Madam, don't worry, doctor, we've already gone to ask for it."

Thyme nodded, and followed the woman to the village.

Only then did Thyme know where the woman's family lived in the middle of the village.

"What's my aunt's name?" Thyme asked in a low voice.

The woman looked back at thyme with some embarrassment and said, "Madame, don't be surprised, I was so anxious that I didn't tell Madame my name, and everyone in the village called me Aunt Gui." ”

Thyme nodded to indicate that she understood.

At this moment, at the door of Aunt Gui's house, there are several women in the village who love to watch the excitement, and Aunt Nian is among them.

That year, when my aunt saw thyme coming with Aunt Gui, there was a trace of unconvincing on her face, and there was hatred in her eyes.

Thyme directly ignored Aunt Nian's eyes and entered the courtyard.

The yard of Aunt Gui's house is not very large, but the yard is very tidy, and the farm tools and yard dam are all cleaned up.

At the door of the house, there was a girl of twelve or thirteen years old, and tears could still be faintly seen on her face.

"Mother, you're back, Dad's face has turned blue."

"Don't cry, girl, did your brother go to the city?" Aunt Gui was actually worried in her heart, but now that she was the backbone of the family, she couldn't panic.
