Chapter 13: In the City
Thyme just looked at Aunt Nian coldly and didn't say anything.
Aunt Nian squirmed for a long time, and finally decided to open the money bag.
There were no two hundred dollars in the money bag, and Aunt Nian counted it twice and found that it was still not enough, and the people in the village were all looking at her, and they couldn't play tricks if they wanted to. I had to turn around and go into the house, and after a while, I came out with a bunch of money.
"Here's two hundred Wen to take!" Aunt Nian's voice was very loud, and her face was painful.
Li Zheng took the money and handed it to Thyme.
"If it's not yours in the future, it's not yours, don't try to steal someone else's, that's the end of this matter today, Mrs. Xiahou doesn't know if you have anything else?"
Rizheng's attitude towards thyme is obviously much better.
When you get the money, you will naturally accept it when you see it, and after such a thing today, Thyme believes that the people in the village will not make any more moths. At least the lotus root in the lotus root pond doesn't have to worry about being stolen.
Thyme glanced at Li Zheng very gratefully, and then said, "Thank you, Li Zheng, there is nothing left." Thank you for today's business. ”
Aunt Xiang walked up at this time and said with a smile: "Madame, don't be so polite, we are a village, we should help each other, and if there is anything in the future, come to my house." ”
Aunt Xiang said this to tell everyone that in the future, their family will take care of the affairs of thyme.
Thyme was really grateful, smiled at Aunt Xiang gratefully, and said, "I just hope that Aunt Xiang won't dislike me in the future." ”
After watching the show, it is natural that the song will end up.
The people in the village saw that there was no longer a good show to watch, and they all began to walk back one by one, and after Baili Xiang thanked Li Zheng and Aunt Xiang, he took the money and left the village.
Xiahou Yuchen was already looking at the village at the door, he was actually very worried about thyme, but Thyme explained that he was at home to watch the house, and he had to stay at home.
This saw Thyme come back with a happy face, and hurriedly ran to Thyme.
"Mother, they didn't bully you, right?" Xiahou Yuchen's face was full of worry.
Thyme smiled slightly, touched Xiahou Yuchen's head, then squatted down and said with a smile: "Don't worry Chen'er, how can my mother be bullied if she is so smart, you see this is the copper coin that Aunt Nian paid." Thyme picked up the two hundred coins in her hand and shook it twice in front of Xiahou Yuchen.
Seeing this, Xiahou Yuchen finally put his mind at ease. With a long sigh of relief, Xiahou Yuchen said seriously; "Mother, I must grow up quickly, as long as I grow up, those people in the village will not be able to bully us, and I can protect my mother when the time comes."
Hearing these words, Thyme's heart was not moved It was fake, she really felt that Xiahou Yuchen was very sensible and considerate, in fact, this cheap son was really good. Thyme thought very happily in her heart.
"It's not too early for this trouble, so let's hurry into the city, maybe we can buy some cheap things back in time for the morning market."
Thyme said and pulled Xiahou Yuchen into the yard, the herbs picked yesterday were still drying in the yard, Thyme thought for a while, or decided to put the herbs on her back first, go to the town to see the situation, see how the market is, and she will have to live on these herbs in the future.
"Chen'er, clean up and follow your mother to the town." Thyme said as she put the herbs she pulled yesterday into the back basket.
Xiahou Yuchen rarely goes to the city, and when he heard that Thyme was going to take him with him, he was very excited: "Mother, you are the best, Chen'er will clean it up immediately." ”
After speaking, Xiahou Yuchen had already run into the house.
The herbs that were harvested yesterday have not yet dried, and they are well hydrated, and they are a little heavy on their backs.
Thyme tried to carry the basket on her back, and after walking around the yard a few times, she decisively put it down.
The contents of the back basket are not very heavy, but after carrying it for a long time, it is a little unbearable.
After thinking about it for a while, Thyme decided to bring only a few Bupleurum plants, and as for the perilla leaves and nepeta, they were left at home, and they would be sold when they were ready.
Xiahou Yuchen had already changed into clean clothes, and his hair was tidied up, but he was very well-behaved.
Xiahou Yuchen saw that Thyme only took a cloth bag and held it in his hand, and was very puzzled: "Doesn't my mother plan to sell the herbs?" ”
Thyme smiled and shook her head: "No, the herbs that have not been dried are too heavy, let's take them when they are finished in the future!" ”
There is only one mountain road leading to the outside of Yunjiaao, and the ox cart can enter and exit, but the road out of the mountain is not so easy to walk, and you can often see one big pit after another in the middle of the road.
Thyme walked very fast because she wanted to hurry up, and from time to time Thyme had to wait for Xiahou Yuchen for a while, so the speed of the two of them was not very fast.
It's rare to meet people on the road.
After crossing the two mountains, the terrain outside is much smoother, and the number of households gradually increases.
On the way, you can meet people who have entered the city or returned to the village.
Thyme looked around as she walked, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt how bad that cheap scumbag husband was.
Not to mention what mistakes the original owner made before, at least in Thyme's opinion, it is really vicious enough to throw her own woman, or a pregnant woman, into such a place where birds don't poop and chickens don't lay eggs.
It's too much to ignore the original owner for so many years.
But fortunately, the current thyme is a self-improvement person, and he will definitely not follow the crowd and live a lifetime.
She just wants to live her life to the fullest.
The closer they got to the town, the more people there were on the road, and Thyme was afraid of getting lost with Xiahou Yuchen, so she took Xiahou Yuchen's hand and walked slowly.
At this time, the market has basically begun to go down. Most of them are people who pass by with a full load, or who leave the city with a smile on their faces.
Thyme was seeing this solemn gate for the first time.
The city gate is very high, and the city walls on both sides are also high, but there is no scene like in the TV series at the city gate, and there are no officers and soldiers on both sides of the city gate.
Thyme went straight into the city.
As soon as I entered the city, the scene in front of me suddenly became clear.
As soon as you enter the city gate, you will see a straight street, the street is very wide, even if two horse-drawn carriages drive in the middle of the street, it will not feel crowded, and there are vendors on both sides of the street.
And the shops on both sides of the street are even more vivid.
The shouting of the roadside and the shouting of the horsemen on the carriage on the road made it particularly noisy in this wide street.
"Morning, let's go to the pharmacy!" Thyme pulled Xiahou Yuchen, who had a curious and joyful face, and walked forward.
Naturally, the drugstore thyme didn't know where it was, and now it had to look for it along the street.
While walking and asking, Thyme finally found a pharmacy with a good reputation in everyone's hearts after crossing two streets.
