Chapter 42 Zhang Kui Collects Medicine
The years shuttled, and in the blink of an eye, spring went to the summer solstice, and Zhao Zheng has been here for more than two months.
At this time, at Zhao Ji's house, Zhao Ji whispered while wrapping a hemp rope around Zhao Zheng's body: "Zheng'er, remember my mother's words, be more careful on the road, and when they see Zhang Kui, they must hide a little." If it weren't for your Grandpa Liu helping our family this time, our mother and son really wouldn't even have to burn firewood......"
Before Zhao Ji finished speaking, Zhao Zheng interrupted a little impatiently: "Mother, don't worry!" ”
Zhang Kui in Zhao Ji's mouth is naturally the child leader who often bullies Zhao Zheng. Although Zhao Zheng couldn't recognize who Zhang Kui was, he still knew something about him from Zhao Ji's mouth.
Since Zhao Zheng did not have any soul-snatching when he crossed over, he did not inherit Ying Zheng's consciousness, which made his understanding of this world almost blank. Fortunately, Zhao Zheng gradually mastered the Zhao dialect in just two months, and had a preliminary understanding of the current world in the exchange with Zhao Ji. In order to get an idea of the current world in a short period of time.
"Cut, it's just a bunch of small scraps......" Zhao Zheng said with secret disdain.
Zhao Ji saw that Zhao Zheng was a little impatient, and couldn't help but worry again. Pinning a bronze short knife in Zhao Zheng's waist, Zhao Ji instructed again: "It's better to be careful in everything!" Your father is not here now, and your mother can't leave, and the matter of burning firewood at home can only be entrusted to you again. If you have any more three long and two short, how can you let your mother live...... Woo woo woo ......" Zhao Ji said and wiped tears from her eyes.
Zhao Zheng couldn't see a woman crying his nose, and now although he is in a different world, there has been no change in this aspect. Seeing that Zhao Ji kept wiping her tears, Zhao Zheng hurriedly comforted: "Hehe...... Mother, rest assured! I went early, and I would have come back by the time Zhang Kui and them wandered the streets, so don't worry......"
Just when Zhao Zheng was comforting Zhao Ji, a series of fast-paced drums suddenly came faintly from the south. Zhao Ji's mother and son knew that the city gate had been opened at this time.
Zhao Ji wiped the tears on her face and said to Zhao Zheng: "It's okay, don't worry about my mother." Go ahead, be careful on the road! ”
"Hmm!"
Zhao Zheng nodded at Zhao Ji very seriously, and then ran out with a bang.
After all, since he came here, Zhao Zheng slipped out except for the first two nights, and the rest of the time stayed in the thatched house obediently "raising the corpse". Now that his personal freedom has been restored, Zhao Zheng is naturally in a good mood at this time.
Zhao Zheng, who went out, wanted to take a big breath unscrupulously, but when he saw the feces on both sides of the street, the whole person instantly became messy. Open defecation on the street was extremely common in ancient times, and in the past two months, Zhao Zheng has also taken advantage of the night to and pee in front of his house. However, after all, it was night, as the so-called out of sight and out of mind, and now early in the morning he had to face a lump of feces, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but hold his breath.
“cao! It's fucking disgusting! Zhao Zheng scolded in his heart as he walked.
In order to get out of the sea of as soon as possible, Zhao Zheng's pace became faster. However, it was not far away, and Zhao Zheng's originally happy heart instantly became cold.
"Huh...... The little guy goes out of town early in the morning, is this to collect firewood? ”
You don't need to see him, just hear his voice, Zhao Zheng knows who is talking to him.
Zhao Zheng stopped, turned around and greeted with a smile: "Hehe...... You...... Hello grandpa! ”
Hearing this, Old Doctor Liu's eyes narrowed into a slit, and then he asked "happily", "Okay, good, hehe...... By the way, where are you going to collect firewood this time? ”
Zhao Zheng replied: "Handshan! ”
"Oh......"
Old Doctor Liu nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, then waved his hand at Zhao Zheng and said, "Well, then you should go quickly, so as not to make a mistake." ”
"This old man is sick!" Zhao Zheng scolded in his heart when he heard this.
After scolding Old Doctor Liu in his heart, Zhao Zhengcai bowed down with a smile and replied, "Then the old man said goodbye!" ”
After finishing speaking, Zhao Zheng walked towards the city gate without looking back.
Old Doctor Liu squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Zhao Zheng's small back that was gradually moving away, and muttered, "Is it Hanshan......
"Handan ......"
After reciting the word "Handanshan" in his mouth a few times, Dr. Liu immediately turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
Although Zhao Zheng's steps were getting faster and faster, his heart secretly ran back home. Since he noticed the clues from Zhao Zheng a month and a half ago, Old Doctor Liu has been going to Zhao Ji's house from time to time to collect intelligence under the banner of investigation. Because the two knew in their hearts that the situation they had mastered was inferred from appearances, and acting rashly without full certainty would definitely lead to irreparable things, so the two chose to fight but not break, and after a long time, the two had a tacit understanding.
Zhao Zheng didn't pay attention to Dr. Liu's practice of "selling dog meat with a sheep's head" before, he knew that as long as he was at home, this white-bearded old man would not dare to do anything too out of the circle. However, at this time, seeing Old Doctor Liu walking in the direction of his house, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but panic in his heart.
"Damn, these two dead bodies are so troublesome!" Zhao Zheng scolded secretly.
For the two dead bodies hidden in the house, Zhao Zheng has long had no temper. In the past dozens of days, Zhao Zheng searched his stomach and exhausted his ability, and came up with a lot of effective methods that people don't know about, even if someone secretly monitors, it is not difficult to transfer the two dead corpses unconsciously. However, things are not as simple as Zhao Zheng imagined, just when Zhao Zheng was about to transfer the corpse at night, how not to let the neighbors notice the rotting stench emitted by the dead corpse became a headache for Zhao Zheng.
According to common sense, it is not difficult to get a highly educated science and engineering man to use scientific methods to dispose of dead bodies, in order to make two dead bodies evaporate without leaving home, Zhao Zheng even thought of preparing strong acid to melt the corpses. However, Zhao Zheng lived in the Warring States period in front of him at this time, and all the seemingly extremely effective methods became empty talk because there was no material support of chemical reagents and appliances.
The more Zhao Zheng thought about it, the more uneasy he felt in his heart, so he simply turned around and rushed home. After seeing that Zhao Ji was the only one in the house, Zhao Zheng walked out of the city with palpitations.
Just as Zhao Zheng was walking towards the city gate again, Old Doctor Liu had stopped in front of an equally dilapidated adobe thatched house.
"Huh...... Is Zhang Kui at home? Doctor Liu knocked lightly on the door and asked.
Inside the room, a middle-aged man's voice replied, "Who? ”
Old Physician Liu replied with a smile: "Hehe...... It turns out that Zhang Xian's nephew, the old man came to your family Kuizi for a little trouble! ”
"Toot, toot, toot......"
With a few sounds of wooden sticks hitting the ground, a crack opened in the originally closed door, and a middle-aged disabled man looked out through the crack in the door.
After the middle-aged man found out that the person who called the door was Old Doctor Liu, the originally extremely indifferent vicissitudes of life old face suddenly showed a smile.
The middle-aged man hurriedly opened the door, and then leaned his cane against the door frame, and was about to salute Doctor Liu.
"Haha...... Uncle Liu can come to the little nephew's house today, it is really a great blessing for the little nephew's family! Uncle Liu, if it weren't for your help, my little nephew would ......," the middle-aged man said as he bowed down and kowtowed to Doctor Liu.
Seeing this, Old Doctor Liu hurriedly helped the middle-aged man up, handed the crutches to the middle-aged man and said with a smile: "Nephew Zhang Xian doesn't have to be so polite, these are what an old man should do!" ”
The middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the house and said, "Uncle Liu is usually busy, and it is rare for him to come here for his little nephew." Since you are here today, the old man must enter the house, let's have a good drink! As he spoke, the middle-aged man was about to lead Dr. Liu home.
Seeing this, Old Doctor Liu shook his head and said in embarrassment: "Hehe...... Zhang Xian's nephew, I'm afraid it won't work this time. Next time, next time the old man and Zhang Xian's nephew come to him to get drunk and rest! I came to your house this time to ask Kuizi to help the old man do something, I don't know ......"
When the middle-aged man heard this, he shouted into the room: "Kuizi, Kuizi!" Your Grandpa Liu has something to do with you, come out quickly! ”
"Okay!"
With a response, a sturdy boy of fifteen or sixteen walked up to Old Doctor Liu.
"I've seen Grandpa Liu!" Zhang Kui Shili said.
Old Doctor Liu smiled and helped Zhang Kui up, and couldn't help but praise: "Hahaha...... is worthy of being the son of Zhang Xian's nephew, he is becoming more and more robust and powerful, and there is no shortage of Zhang Xian's nephew, you were brave back then! ”
The middle-aged man on the side was embarrassed by Dr. Liu's praise like this, and just blindly looked at his son and smirked.
Zhang Kui almost had no contact with Dr. Liu except when he was sick, and at this time, Dr. Liu suddenly had something to find Zhang Kui, and Zhang Kui couldn't help but feel bored.
Zhang Kui thought about it in his heart for a while, and then asked, "I don't know what the old man has to do with Kuizi, the old man just has to say it!" ”
Old Doctor Liu nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, then took out a medicinal herb from his small pouch and handed it to Zhang Kui and said, "The old man has been researching new drugs recently, and Ping'er has to give the old man a hand, so he can't leave for a while." This medicine is used in large quantities, so someone needs to pick it in large quantities. The old man thought about it...... Not...... I found that only our Kuizi was the best candidate in the vicinity. After all, it takes strength to go up the mountain to collect medicine! But...... Hiss...... I wonder if Kuizi is willing to help the old man with this? ”
Zhang Kui and Zhang Kui's father were in ecstasy when they heard this, for a family like theirs, it was a great opportunity to be able to do things for Dr. Liu.
"That's nature...... That's natural...... Liu Lao Berken uses Kuizi, that is the blessing of Kuizi! Come, Kuizi, hurry up and kowtow to your grandfather to thank you! The middle-aged man was a little emotional, knocked Zhang Kui with his cane, and then said to Old Doctor Liu.
"Thank you, Grandpa Liu!"
As he spoke, Zhang Kui fell to his knees.
Old Doctor Liu nodded and helped Zhang Kui up, and then said: "Kuizi, your mother has been infected with wet and cold legs and has not been able to get up yet, and the new medicine developed by the old man this time is precisely the medicine to cure this disease." Kuizi, you have to pick it raw, so that your mother can recover and go to the ground as soon as possible! ”
Zhang Kui's father and Zhang Kui's faces changed greatly when they heard Dr. Liu say this, and then they both "pounced" and fell to their knees, and kowtowed with tears in their eyes......
