After leaving, Ye Xiaomu and the two quickly followed the old man.

Originally, the old uncle's house was in the back two alleys of the night market.

The old man limped to an old house, seeing that the area was not too small, and he used to be a good family, but this time, there was no one in front of the door, and even the gate looked precarious, and he felt that as long as he used a little force, the door could not support it.

Ye Xiaomu and Mo Chen followed from a distance, and when they came to the door, they heard the sound of coughing coming from inside.

This time the door was opened and not closed again, maybe just now the old man heard his wife's coughing voice and hurriedly went in, forgetting to close it.

Standing outside the gate, you can see that there are two locust trees in the yard, but it is very cold, and the leaves on the trees are almost blown off, and the weather is colder at night, and the night wind blows the branches squeak.

If you didn't know that there were people living in it, you would have thought that there were unclean things living here.

"Old woman, why are you up?"

The old man took out the only coat in the cupboard and put it on top of an old woman with white hair.

"Ahem! I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this winter, old man. You should pay attention to your body in the future. The old woman said weakly.

Hearing this, the old man did not refute it out loud, because the old woman didn't know how many times she had said such words.

"Hungry? Shall I make noodles for you? The old man asked intimately.

"Don't."

"Why did you come back so early tonight?" The old woman asked strangely.

The old man pretended to smile calmly, "Business is good tonight, I'll come back early to accompany you when the things are sold." ”

"That's great."

The old man walked to the table, poured a cup of hot water and brought it to the old woman.

"I was in a bit of a hurry to go out today and forgot to buy you medicine, so I'll go to the pharmacy tomorrow to buy it for you."

The old woman nodded, "It's been a year since I got sick, and I've been taking this medicine for so long, and I haven't seen any improvement, so let's not buy it and save some money." ”

"What do you do with your money saved? We don't have any children, and we can't keep him. The old man sighed.

In fact, the two also had a child when they were young, but at that time, because of no money, the child had a high fever and became stupid, and once when they were not paying attention, he secretly ran to the river to play, but drowned, and even the body was not found, and the two have not had children since then.

"That's not going to work, if I leave one day, you'll still have some money to live on. When you are old, you can also give the money to the couple next to you and let them handle the funeral for you. ”

As soon as I heard this, I knew that the old woman had already thought of a way out for the old man.

Ye Xiaomu and Mochen were listening outside, and they also felt uncomfortable in their hearts.

"Excuse me, anyone?" Ye Xiaomu and the two walked into the courtyard and asked.

Hearing a woman's voice, the old man stood up.

"Go and see, is that girl in need of help?" The old woman asked with concern.

The old man nodded and walked out.

Ye Xiaomu ate all the things that were made quickly, and she hadn't eaten the old man's noodles, so the old man looked at them and felt raw.

"Hello, old man, we just had dinner in the night market, and we happened to hear that there seemed to be a sick person in your house, so I came to take a look." Ye Xiaomu said with a smile.

"You are?" The old man looked at her suspiciously.

Ye Xiaomu said again: "The little woman once learned a little medical skills from the doctor, and she happened to see the old man on the road that your leg was injured, so she came over to show you." ”

Hearing this, his wife let down her guard and said with a smile, "Then why are you embarrassed to trouble the two of you." ”

"Besides, you can see the conditions of my house at a glance, I'm afraid I can't pay the girl's consultation fee." The old man said embarrassedly.

"It doesn't matter, it's fate to meet you. Moreover, my master is a person in the narrow sense, so I don't need to pay for this consultation. ”

"Old man, your legs can wait, but the old lady's illness can't be delayed." Mochen glanced at the flickering candlelight in the room and said.

The old man knew that even if he didn't need the consultation fee, he might not be able to afford the medicine, but since someone was willing to come to see his wife, it was a good thing.

"Then trouble the two of you! This way, please! ”

The old woman smiled happily when she saw the two young men coming in and asked, "I don't know if the two of you are visiting so late, but what's the matter?" ”

The old man was afraid that the two would tell the old woman about the street, his face was a little unnatural, and he forgot to explain to the two when they were chatting just now.

Ye Xiaomu smiled at him and nodded, reassuring him. Cai said: "That's right, old woman, we happened to hear the stall people on the street say, the situation at the old man's house, I know that the old woman is not in good health, and I learned a little fur from the doctor, so I thought about coming over to have a look." I wonder if the old woman would like to give me a chance to learn? ”

"Hehehe, of course that's fine." The old woman kindly grabbed Ye Xiaomu's hand and patted the back of her hand gently.

"It's good to be young! Even the hands are slippery and soft. ”

"The old woman has won the prize."

"Then the old woman put her palm out for me to see."

Hearing this, the old woman let go of Ye Xiaomu's hand, opened her palm, and Ye Xiaomu gave her pulse.

The old woman's pulse was weak and weak, if it weren't for the old man who had been taking medicine to regulate her, I am afraid she would not have been able to support it a few months ago.

"Please go out first, I'll check the rest of the place for the old woman." Ye Xiaomu said to Mo Chen.

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the room outside." The old man took the ink dust and walked to the other room.

The old woman's qi deficiency is not bad, and her main problem is her feet, Ye Xiaomu's legs were gently pulled apart, and she saw that there was rotten pus in one part of her legs.

"Old woman, how did you get this?"

The old woman thought for a while, "This is before, when chopping wood, I was accidentally hit by a wood, at the beginning there was nothing, I thought it would be fine to wipe it with some medicinal wine, who knew that it was not quite right last winter, and then it hurt so much that I couldn't even get out of bed, and no matter how I used the medicine, the wound still kept bleeding pus." ”

"Alas, it seems that the branch you were going to cut should be orange in the deep mountains, and the leaves are palm-size, and it smells a little nasty, right?"

"That's right, that's right! Girl, how do you know? ”

"Old woman, your tree is a slightly poisonous orange and yellow fir, if you eat something antidote at that time, you won't have such a big trouble, this poison will not directly kill people, but it will be like a chronic poison, this toxin has now entered your body, so your body is not as good as day by day." Ye Xiaomu explained.

"In this case, it is also my life! It's a pity that I don't have incense to continue, and if I leave, the old man will be alone and miserable, and it's also pitiful. ”

"Don't worry, since I'm here to treat you, I'll definitely find a way to cure you. And you don't have to worry about the uncle's situation, I see the couple next door to the stall, the people are not bad, they should also live near you, right? ”

"Yes, Xiaohuzi's family is right next to me. Their family often sent things to the two of us, and they were great benevolent people. ”

Ye Xiaomu laughed, "That's also when you two were young, and they were not thin on their family, right?" ”

Hearing this, the old woman smiled and nodded.

"That kid's parents died early, and we don't have a son who has been good to him since he was a child, but fortunately, he is also good to us and his wife when he grows up."

"Good people will be rewarded!"

Ye Xiaomu carefully examined the wounds on the old woman's body.

"This is an antidote elixir, you use it first."

Looking at the brown elixir, which was still faintly glowing, the old woman was flattered and said, "This elixir is not cheap, is it? Why am I so embarrassed to eat? ”

"It's okay, just think of me as honoring your old man."

"That's not good, although I don't have a little spiritual power cultivation, I also saw the pill when I was very young, and it's not cheap when I look at you."

Ye Xiaomu took her hand affectionately and said, "Okay, if you feel embarrassed, let the old uncle make me a bowl of noodles, and it will be regarded as the medicine fee." At this time, I was also a little hungry. ”

"But ......"

"Don't be a pity, don't you want to spend a few more years with the old uncle? It would be pitiful if he was the only one alive in the future. ”

After Ye Xiaomu's persuasion of both soft and hard, the old woman was willing to swallow the pill.

Soon, the toxins in her body slowly subsided, and the whole person felt refreshed.

The body that was already heavy has also become lighter.

"My feet don't hurt anymore!" The old woman said happily.

"yes, it's okay, the poison isn't too powerful, otherwise it would be troublesome." Ye Xiaomu said happily.

"These medicine packets are mainly used to replenish qi and blood, once a day, and your blood deficiency will improve after three days."

Ye Xiaomu took out the medicine bag that the elf Honghong had prepared and put it on the table.

Seeing Ye Xiaomu suddenly take out so many things, the old woman knew that she must have space or something, after all, people in this world will have it as long as the conditions are not bad.

"I'll let the old man give you the money for these herbs."

"Okay, just give me five gold dollars. Anyway, I was given this herb to me by someone else, and I didn't spend a penny. Ye Xiaomu knew that if she didn't take a little, the old woman would definitely not be willing, so she smiled.

"Girl, you're so nice! If my son is here and I have a grandson, I will let him marry you. The old woman said with a smile.

Ye Xiaomu pretended to be sorry and said, "That's not good, I'm already married." ”

"Oh? It's the boy just now, right? It looks quite simple, and he should be an honest man. ”

The two chatted happily in the room.

On the other side, Mochen and the old man were drinking politely, and the wine was Mochen's own.

"This cup is for me to toast you!" Mo Chen picked up the wine glass and smiled at the old man.

"I have injuries on my body, so I should not drink." The old man is embarrassed.

Mo Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is my lady's special medicinal wine, drinking it can not only strengthen the body, but also remove blood congestion." Not only is it harmless, it's also very beneficial. ”

Hearing this, the old man had no choice but to attack, rather than obey. After all, he also had to maintain a better body to take care of the old woman.

And he just had a lot of pain from the injuries on his body, so in order not to be discovered by the old woman, he endured it all the time, and even forced him to walk normally when he limped into the door.

"Thank you then!"

"You're welcome."

After two cups, the old man felt that the pain on his body was indeed much less, "By the way, little brother, I don't know what you call it?"

"Junior, ink dust! My wife, Ye Xiaomu. ”

"It turns out that the two are husband and wife, and they are really talented women. My original name was Wu Qihai, and everyone called me Uncle Qi. The old man replied with a smile.
