Chapter 266: People always have to be there for each other
Duanmuqing drank the soup and exhaled a hot breath from time to time. Listening to Gu Nan's words, she rarely spoke, just sat aside and nodded.
Her eyes were often squinting with reassurance, and she used to be alone, and she didn't say a word a day, and she rarely spoke to anyone.
Maybe that's why she stuttered.
She doesn't talk often, but she likes to listen to Gu Nan very much.
Sometimes she talks about ordinary trivial things, sometimes she talks about legends she has never heard of, and of course, sometimes Gu Nan will also say some strange nonsense.
But when she says it, she listens attentively.
"Snake gall bladder should be able to change something as well······"
Gu Nan was thinking about what to change.
Duanmu Qing on the side hurriedly stretched out his hand, shook his head and said.
"Snake gall bladder is, it is dispensed, it can't, it can't be changed."
Well, she's always been more insistent in some ways.
"Well, then I won't change it."
It's just that a few snakeskins and snake jerky should have been able to replace a bag of rice, and there may be leftovers.
When the time comes, we will decide what to change, because this place is the place of Senese's diplomatic circles, so there will be a lot of traveling merchants, and there will always be something special.
Duanmuqing didn't go out to collect medicine today, and it was very dangerous to go out to collect medicine when the road was closed by heavy snow. And most of the herbs are hard to find.
She is going to fry some medicine at home, there will always be more people who are sick in this kind of weather, but if someone in the village is sick, there is no need to fry it again, just boil it.
After eating breakfast, Gu Nan also went out with a hat. Looking at the sky, it was about to start spring, and it might rain a lot, so she was thinking about whether to weave another coat.
The market in the village has not become deserted because of the snow, but may be more lively, and there is no way, maybe the heavy snow a few days ago really can't go, but these days it is just some snow, it can't stop the steps of the merchants.
They all come out to run life, and if they can be one step ahead of others, they will be able to earn more.
The stalls on both sides beckoned people to come and see, and some merchants exchanged with each other, and the people on both sides spoke half Chinese and half nonsense, so that both sides could not understand too well. But the transaction can be carried out safely, which may be the tacit understanding between the merchants.
Some merchants exchange with villagers, and they have been dealing with merchants for a long time, and the villagers are also very shrewd, and they will only exchange some of what they need. When bargaining, the stars on both sides flew sideways for a long time and could not say anything.
The fixed population of the village is very small, but the number of people who move is surprisingly large, and there is such a village nearby, where you can exchange things that are not in the Sei, and you can also change things that are not in the Seybe, and you can change them for money by running back and forth.
This also makes life easier for the people of this village.
A man walked on the street in the snow, wearing a hat on his head, but wearing only a thin cloth coat in the cold weather. He carried a few snakeskins on his shoulders and a bag of jerky.
She looked like a nearby mountain man, and the only special thing should be the black sword she carried at her waist.
The villagers usually smile and say hello when they see this man, who has lived here for some time. Living with that doctor, he often helped the patients in the village to see patients, and he didn't charge anything, so he can be said to be a rare and popular person in the village.
"Shopkeeper, change a bag of rice."
Gu Nan put the snake skin and dried meat on the stall, she had been to this stall a few times, and the store was quite familiar, a Han person.
"Ouch, that's not just the price of a bag of rice."
The shopkeeper looked at the things Gu Nan put on the stall and smiled, looking up and seeing that it was a regular customer, it was not easy to meet a Han man who was not a merchant outside the gate, so he was quite impressed.
He came early and had almost changed everything, since they were all Han Chinese, the shopkeeper shrugged his shoulders, pointed to the snake skin and snake meat and said.
"I'll give you two bags of rice."
Swap out the rest of the rice, and he'll go back early.
"Okay, thank you very much." Gu Nan said with a smile, looking at the stall, but saw that there were some other things.
Some white rice noodles, some black sesame seeds, and the rare one even a few pieces of starch sugar.
"Hey, why did you get so many things this time?"
Gu Nan asked while standing on the edge of the stall.
The shopkeeper smiled, for the customer in front of him, he really didn't know anything other than knowing that the other party's fluent Chinese should be a Han person.
The other party's voice was a little low, and it sounded like a thin man.
"It's not been a year, I went home to accompany the elderly at home after this trip, and I won't run during this time, so this trip will run more."
"That's it." Gu Nan nodded, looked at the black sesame seeds, suddenly remembered something, and asked the shopkeeper.
"Speaking of which, what month is it?"
"It's the thirteenth day of the first month." The shopkeeper said with some emotion, he should be thinking of the people in his family.
If it weren't for the sake of living, he wouldn't have gone home for a year.
"It's the first month..." Gu Nan seemed to have an idea, pointed to the things on the stall, and said to the store with a smile.
"Shop, you don't need two bags of rice, give me a bag of rice, and give me some of the remaining three, even if it's a bag of rice."
White rice noodles and black sesame seeds are not much price, although the store is strange, but they all give Gu Nan a small half bag, but the price of caramel is a lot more expensive, he only gave a small piece, which is already a regular customer.
After changing these, Gu Nan left with her things on her back, she was going to make some food at night, and she hadn't eaten this kind of thing for a long time.
Since the evening, Duanmuqing has seen that Gu Nan has been busy in and out of the kitchen, and he still doesn't tell her what he is doing.
When I came out, I often had some white noodles on my nose and hands, and I looked a little funny.
Until nightfall, the clouds that were still shrouded in the day were gradually blown away under the north wind of Shuofang, revealing the stars and moon under the clouds.
The moonlight was white, falling on the snow, making the white ground even more quiet, with a little bit of luminescence.
Without the cover of the clouds, the stars and moon can be seen clearly, and they are no longer half-hidden.
The starry sky in the night is spreading, a looming galaxy is in the sky, the moon is in the sky, the moon is already very round on this day, and it is impossible to tell whether the bright moon is more beautiful, or the broken crescent moon is more delicate.
But the night was very beautiful.
There was always a smell of herbs in the cottage, and light smoke rose leisurely from the kitchen.
The medicine was burning in front of Duanmu Qing, the flames in the furnace were jumping, and she looked up at the full moon in the sky. I didn't think about anything, just looked at it in a daze.
"Sunny girl." There was a call from the side.
Duanmuqing turned around, only to see Gu Nan walking out of the kitchen with two bowls.
"How about a try?"
Looking at Gu Nan, Duanmu Qing showed a light smile, and it was not so cold in the snow.
