The medicine was quickly grasped, but it was faced with another problem, decoction of medicine.

Duan Jinxiu's family did not have a small stove for decoction of medicine, nor did it have firewood for decoction. The medicine had to be taken three times a day, and it was obviously unrealistic to go back to the small fishing village. The eldest son raised his head weakly, looking like he was about to cry, "Sister... Thank you, after taking this medicine for the day, I will definitely get better. ”

The eldest son is now seriously ill, and he will have to take medicine for at least a few days in a row, and staying in the town for treatment is the only way.

Ay... Although I don't want to go back to that small hotel at all, the eldest son's illness can't be delayed. Xia Jingyu told Wang Da to let Wang Da go back first, Wang Da pulled his cart and asked, "Girl, is it convenient for you to stay here at night?" ”

"Convenient, nothing is too much. You can rest assured. Xia Jingyu sent him away, Wang Da didn't think too much, even if he slept outside for a night in this weather, it was nothing, before leaving, Xia Jingyu instructed, "If Aunt Duan asks, you will say that the eldest son's illness is nothing, but it is inconvenient to move now, and it will take a few days to go back." ”

Wang Da led the order and left.

Xia Jingyu found a bullock cart from the street, and took the eldest son to the hotel, the shopkeeper saw Xia Jingyu, Zhang Luo came out of a house, Xia Jingyu settled the eldest son, asked the shopkeeper if he had a stove for decoction, and asked him to decoct the medicine, the shopkeeper waved his hand, lazily haha: "Do you know how much time it takes to waste decoction?" Look at it for at least an hour. ”

That's really ...... The green tendons on Xia Jingyu's forehead jumped twice, took out two copper plates from his pocket, and stuffed them into the hands of the guy, the guy looked at the two copper plates, his expression was not very happy, and he pushed the copper plates back, looking disdainful.

Xia Jingyu secretly wondered in his heart, this money is not a small amount for them, besides, it is just a decoction, and it can be regarded as a windfall to get this income, is this really the shop guy who was deceived by a chicken leg in the first place?

But she didn't have the heart to think so much at the moment, her condition was critical, she took out ten more copper plates, stuffed them into the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper counted, then picked up the medicine and walked to the back kitchen.

Xia Jingyu went to the room to visit the eldest son, the eldest son was lying on the bed, her eyes were shining with curiosity, her hand touched the quilt, revealing a happy expression: "Soft...... Clean ......"

In fact, the hotel conditions here are not as regular as the modern hotel, the quilt is not often changed and washed at a glance, the edge of the quilt is obviously a little gray, but compared with the black and hard quilt of Duan Jinxiu's house, it is a world of difference, the eldest son is still wearing tattered clothes, and his hair is dirty and has not been washed for a long time, maybe in another year or two, the eldest son will marry a boy in a small fishing village, and continue the poor life of the previous generation.

Xia Jingyu secretly clenched his fists, I must make money, and I must find a way to change Duan Jinxiu's family.

Xia Jingyu walked around the street, the business of the town is underdeveloped, there are very few shops, the self-sufficient small peasant economy is very obvious here, Xia Jingyu wants to buy a dress for the eldest son, but he has not found a special tailor shop, the people in the town are all making their own clothes, who has spare money to buy outside, no wonder the shop guy has never seen gold, and the currency is not very circulating.

In the end, Xia Jingyu used a copper plate to change a half-worn dress in a house, and picked out a few red head ropes from the merchant.

When I returned to the hotel, the eldest son saw the clothes, touched them with his hands, and couldn't believe it: "This is for my ......"

"Yes." Xia Jingyu nodded, the eldest son was still unwell, so he didn't put it on for her, Xia Jingyu took a comb, combed a ponytail for the eldest son, tied it with a red rope, and tied it with a crooked bow, she brought a mirror to the eldest son, the eldest son looked at the braids and butterflies on his head, and smiled, originally Xia Jingyu lived in her house for so long and she rarely smiled, but today she doesn't know how many times she laughed.

It is a kind of brilliance when a tree that has been dry for many years encounters a rain and the fire of life is rekindled.

An hour later, the medicine came in, a black bowl, exuding an unpleasant smell, Xia Jingyu has always hated taking medicine, just smelling the smell, there is a little urge to vomit, she just regretted why she didn't buy some sweets from the street, and after drinking the medicine for the eldest son, the eldest son did not dislike the taste at all, and drank it straightforwardly.

After drinking, a relaxed expression appeared on her face: "Sister...... I'll definitely get better soon today. ”

"It's fine." Xia Jingyu touched her head distressedly, "We may have to stay here for a few days, you don't have to worry about the medicine money, my sister tells you a secret." ”

Xia Jingyu leaned closer and sat on the bed, lowered her voice, and attached it to the eldest son's ear: "Sister has some money at home, and I have it all with me, and it's okay to treat you, but my sister is afraid that someone will have a bad idea, so she won't come out, the eldest son is good, if you go home and your father and mother ask how much it spent, you will say that you don't know, and your sister will tell your father and mother when you turn around." I did my sister a favor at that time. ”

The eldest son nodded ignorantly, and Xia Jingyu said, "Be good, sleep well for a while." ”

After the eldest son took the medicine, she was not as uncomfortable as before, and she had not slept well for a long time, so she slept comfortably.

Xia Jingyu was about to go back to the lobby to find the store guy, at this time, the door of another room opened, and two people came out - Uncle Jin and Sun Wuniang, the two sides looked at each other, Xia Jingyu asked politely: "Why, didn't find relatives?" ”

Uncle Jin replied vaguely: "Yes......"

Xia Jingyu felt that something was wrong, just now Uncle Jin and Sun Wuniang came out of the room, the two were discussing something, Uncle Jin was dominant, so she kept an eye on it, "Describe the general information of relatives, I still have some acquaintances in this town, maybe I can help find it." I will tell them to do it in secret, and not to say anything. ”

Sun Wuniang hesitated for a moment, and Uncle Jin hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't bother the girl, she is a relative who hasn't seen her for many years, she only knows that she came to this city, and this time I came to look for him, it's just a matter of trying my luck." ”

Hearing this, Xia Jingyu snorted coldly: "Uncle Jin really understands, I learned a news today, coming out of the gate of Shicheng, there is only one road, which leads to this town, but that day, Uncle Jin was asking me all the way where to go and which way to go, if I really came to find someone, I wouldn't not know that there was only this road in advance." Now think about it, Uncle Kim's real purpose is to follow my line. ”

Uncle Jin was stunned, they didn't know Xia Jingyu's possible destination at all, so they didn't investigate more on the route, he thought that his speaking skills were seamless, but he didn't expect to lose on this only road.

Sun Wuniang stepped forward, covered her lips with her hands, and smiled coquettishly: "What a clever girl." ”
