Ling'er thought for a while: "I probably mentioned it to them last time, although I didn't say it all, but they are all kind and reasonable people, and they will definitely not object." Don't worry, Dr. Xu, you'll know when you see them! ”

Xu Banxian hesitated for a long time, and finally followed down the mountain under Ling'er's persuasion. When he arrived at the entrance of the town, the vendor who had not finished his stall saw Xu Banxian and Ling'er together, and they were very surprised, these days Xu Banxian's matter has long been spread in the town, as long as the people who came to the market have heard of it, so he basically does not set up a stall now, and lives by digging herbs and selling herbs.

Ling'er wanted to go back immediately, but seeing the old man's vague steps and sallow face, he swallowed saliva when he saw what he was eating, as if he hadn't eaten for a few days! She thought about it, found a shady place to put down the basket, let the old man help guard it, and ran to the town by herself, planning to buy some food to fill the old man's stomach.

As soon as I entered the town, there was a small restaurant next to the archway, Ling'er ran over and asked for a bowl of gruel, plus two big buns, and informed the boss, so he took the bowl and took the buns to the direction of Xu Banxian. She swayed and handed the bowl to the old man: "Doctor Xu, come, let's eat something!" ”

Xu Banxian's face was slightly red, and he was a little embarrassed: "No... No, I... I had breakfast! ”

"Hehe, I'll eat some more, my house is still several miles away from here, if you go halfway to the hungry and have no strength, you won't have to eat at that time, and I can't carry you!" Come on, eat, eat, buy everything, don't eat and waste! ”

Xu Banxian excused himself again, and finally accepted. He took the bun and bit it gently, the smell of meat suddenly wafted out, his expression was stunned, he opened his mouth wide and took a few bites, chewed it hastily twice and swallowed it in his stomach, as if he had completely forgotten his scruples about the image.

It wasn't until a whole big meat bun was in his stomach that he reacted, his face was extremely embarrassed, but his eyes were fixed on the other meat bun in Ling'er's hand! Ling'er handed over the gruel with a smile: "Doctor Xu, come, drink some porridge first, rest before eating!" ”

When Ling'er was serving Xu Banxian to eat, everyone around looked at him, all of them looked surprised, and even exchanged their heads and pointed at Ling'er and Xu Banxian.

Ling'er ignored it completely, waited for him to finish eating, and then ran back to the restaurant owner with the empty bowl Dongdong. The kind-hearted peddlers couldn't help but stop her: "Hey, little girl, don't you know that the old man has killed many people? He is unlucky, whoever has anything to do with him is unlucky, this kind of person is avoided by everyone, why do you give him food? ”

Ling'er smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle, I think he is just an old man, I haven't seen him hurt anyone!" And my father took the medicine he dispensed, his health is getting better and better, and he can already walk on the ground, and my father and mother said that he is the benefactor of our family! ”

The peddler exclaimed, "Huh? Your father still dares to take the medicine he dispenses! Little girl, don't be fooled, beware of eating sick! ”

"Hehe, no, my father was already sick, and his condition is much better after taking his medicine! Moreover, the pharmacy has twenty or thirty yuan for a pair of medicines, and he only needs five yuan for a pair, and the rest of the money is enough for our family to live! ”

"Wouldn't it? Little girl, whose child are you? Where do you live? Daddy hasn't come to the market recently, right? ”

"My home is nearby, my father has been sick at home, and my mother is also taking care of me at home, so I didn't come to the market, but my uncle can rest assured, I will often come to the market in the future, if my father is sick, I will definitely tell you!"

After Ling'er finished speaking, she quickly ran away, and the vendor said incredulously: "There are really people who dare to use Xu Banxian's medicine?" ”

A lady next to her said: "Hey, she has just started, the little girl doesn't listen to persuasion, sooner or later she will suffer, don't believe it, let's wait and see!" ”

Ling'er returned the bowl and returned to the same place, and saw that Xu Banxian was resting on the trunk with half-squinted eyes, "Doctor Xu, okay, let's go!" ”

Xu Banxian didn't move, nor did he open his eyes, Ling'er called him a few times, and then he said lightly: "Little girl, thank you for your kindness, go back by yourself!" ”

"Huh? You're not going to my house anymore? ”

"I'm a disaster star, whoever I go to is unlucky, you are the first one who doesn't dislike the old man after I get out of prison, the old man can't hurt you, you go!"

Ling'er frowned: "The ruined temple has been occupied by beggars, where are you going to go?" ”

The old man half-squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, and after a long while, he sighed: "Alas! It's a pity that the old man's medical skills have no successors in his life, alas~~~"

Seeing the old man's confused and desperate look, Ling'er felt a pain in her heart, and she suddenly remembered her old father at home. She stood up and patted her clothes, lifted Xu Banxian's arm, and lifted him up, and then she put the back basket on her body and drove him forward.

Xu Banxian hurriedly said: "What are you doing?" Girl, where are you taking me? ”

"Didn't you say where you go? It's the same at my house! ”

"No, no, I can't hurt you!"

"I'm hard-working, I'm not afraid of being harmed!" ……

An old man and a young man slowly left the town with their mouths crossed, and walked out of the old man for a distance, Xu Banxian gasped and said: "Okay, okay, girl, let go of me, my old bones are about to be dragged apart by you!" ”

Ling'er asked him to sit down and rest, squatted in front of him and said, "Doctor Xu, you are tired like this after walking so much, how did you dig up those herbs?" ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Xu Banxian said with a pained face: "Alas, after I was released from prison, I began to dig herbs while wandering, and I got up early and greedy for a few months to get a little bit, but I was ruined by that group of ignorant boys, alas~~"

"It's okay, it's okay, you see I'm strong and strong running, what medicine do you want, I'll dig it for you!"

The old man looked at Ling'er, shook his head and sighed: "Girl, the old man knows that she is a good girl, but if you take the old man home privately, I am afraid that you will cause trouble to the family!" ”

"No, no, my father and mother are better!"

"Even if your father and mother don't say it, what about the people in the village?"

When he said this, he reminded Ling'er, by the way, his family was originally a foreigner in Wangjia Village, and he was usually ostracized, if they knew about Xu Banxian, they would definitely come to the door, and then their father and mother would be sad!

Ling'er walked around, frowning and thinking of a way, Xu Banxian sighed: "Alas, that's it, I'd better go back to the town!" ”

"Wait, Dr. Xu! I remember... There is a small abandoned yard opposite the Tiankeng on the mountain behind my house, I heard my mother say that it is the junction of Wangjia Village and the neighboring two villages, and it is close to the direction of Cangmang Mountain, no one usually goes there, it is very quiet! As... How about you go there first and make do with it for a few days, and then figure out a way later? ”

"This ......"

"Doctor Xu, you are penniless, everyone in the town knows you, and you have no place to live when you go back! So be it, let's go, let's go! ”

"Girl, isn't that place far from your house? What if someone sees me? ”

"Not far away, you go back to change your clothes and change your name, and when the people in the village ask me, they say that you are my father's long-lost eldest brother, even if they recognize you, and you don't live in the village, they don't dare to do anything!"
