Twenty-seven months.

The eleventh day of the first month.

Shen Yun, who endured the exploitation of the county for a whole year, finally waited for this day.

Maybe it's been a long time, and even the pain in my heart has faded. Shen's mother, who cried hysterically until she fainted, now has a sad face on her face and tears in the corners of her eyes, but she still didn't cry bitterly after all.

In the end, the world is still bitter, so that when I see it, I feel that death is also a kind of happiness. At least don't be bothered by the proliferation of mundane things.

Shen Gui and Zhu Aming also came together. I wanted to take my two children with me, but the weather was too cold, for fear that they would freeze and cause more trouble.

A small circle was swept in front of the grave, and Shen Yun carried a bundle of grass on his back on the dark brown frozen soil, which was enough to burn the paper money he had brought and the strips of cloth he had drawn from his filial piety clothes.

Remembrance is always short-lived.

One foot deep and one foot shallow, stepping on the road from which they came, the family slowly returned to the village.

Originally, in addition to filial piety, this kind of thing was all done by neighbors and lively, so that the mourning family could wash away the bad luck and face the next life in a comfortable mood.

But after Shen Xi's warning, who in the village dared to go to the door of Shen Yun's house.

When Shen Yun's family walked through the door, someone would push open the door and take a second look, and then go back silently. This strange atmosphere continued to Shen Yun's doorstep.

When I entered the house, the silver bottle had already been simmered on the hot kang.

The six of them sat on a kang, and Shen's mother looked at Shen Yun thoughtfully.

"Yun'er, it's time to take the test again this year. You ......" Shen's mother wanted to speak and stopped, but the meaning was very clear, she wanted to ask if Shen Yun was sure that she would be able to pass the exam this year.

Suffering from the oppression of the county, Shen's mother really couldn't imagine that there was any way to fundamentally solve the problem than the scientific expedition.

Shen Yun nodded: "Ah Niang, just rest assured." ”

In fact, he didn't have a word about it. Now that his filial piety period has expired, even if Zhang Yan and Shen Xi want to toss themselves again, they can go directly to the state capital to beat the drum.

He didn't believe it, and even Zhang Shi'an followed Zhang Yan to become a raccoon dog.

Nodding, Shen's mother's mood was a little better. Just as he was about to continue to say something, suddenly a rare voice came from outside the gate: "Zhu Aming, Zhu Aming, hurry up, there is something urgent." ”

Looking for Zhu Amin in the Saddle Castle, everyone was curious about who it was.

Shen Yun walked out with Zhu Aming, and was surprised to find that it was Zhu Aliang. Although he heard that Shen Yun was oppressed very badly by the county, Zhu Aliang couldn't help but take a step back when he saw Shen Yun. Even the mule cart he was carrying backwards.

"What's the matter?"

Although he was indeed a little dissatisfied with this idle and unprofessional younger brother, Zhu Aming still asked,

"What's the matter? Our father went up the mountain to herd sheep, stepped on the air and fell down the hillside, and his leg was broken. You hurry back with me, and bring the money to the city to find a doctor who is correcting the bones. “

Zhu Aliang has not made a proper living until now, and once it comes to the issue of money, he is completely blind. He didn't know where Zhu Amin's money was hidden, so he could only put on his own mule cart and come to Niu Saddle Fort to find Zhu Amin.

Zhu Aming's face changed.

Shen Yun took a look, walked into the house, took out the little savings he had, and saw that Zhu Aming had already set up the mule cart, so he said: "I'll follow along, after all, I can read and write, and it's convenient to do things in the city." “

Originally, considering Shen Yun's previous feud with his wife, Zhu Aming wanted to refuse. But after thinking about it carefully, what Shen Yun said was also right. Both of his brothers are illiterate farmers, and it is okay to buy things in the city, but they are really a bit blind when they want to be cured.

Nodding silently, he watched Shen Yun get on the mule cart.

Zhu Aming planned to let Shen Gui bring his children up, but was stopped by Shen's mother: "The girl goes back, and Yinhua'er and Jin Hui'er will stay here." Otherwise, the affairs of the in-laws will not be disturbed by the time, where will I have the heart to take care of the two children. “

Thinking about it, it was reasonable, so the four people and two cars hurried to Ningxi Fort.

Several people were so anxious that the distance that used to take three quarters to reach now only took two moments.

Old man Zhu's courtyard was already crowded with people, and when he saw Zhu Aming and his brothers coming back, he shouted: "Ah Ming, come and see your old man, carry it back and keep calling." “

These people are not lying. Old man Zhu's voice now was like a pig that had been cut off, howling hysterically. Hearing that the people outside the door said that Zhu Aming was back, he turned his howl into an insult to Zhu Amin.

Zhu Aming's face suddenly became a little ugly.

It's just that he doesn't dare to just turn around and leave, and the reputation in the village is also a fatal thing for him. What's more, at this time, the old woman of the Zhu family had already walked out of the house.

"Amin, quickly scrape together some money and send your father to the city for healing."

He said so, but there was no movement in his hand. co-authored, this is to let Zhu Aming figure out his own way, and they don't pay a penny.

However, although Zhu Aming was concerned about the wind in the village, he couldn't be coaxed in vain: "I have seven or eight hundred Wen in my house, which is a lot of money, but it is definitely not enough, how many do you have?" “

In fact, everyone knows how much money they can save. The number reported by Zhu Aming has exceeded everyone's expectations, and he is not hiding his secrets. looked at Zhu Aming's eyes, but also contained a lot of appreciation.

"I only have two dozen ...... in my hand."

In this case, it is estimated that only this old woman has the face to say it.

Shen Yun originally wanted to see Old Man Zhu break his leg and be a little kinder to him, but now it seems that when such a thing happened to the old man, he was so shameless that he wanted to exploit Zhu Aming, and he was really shameless to the extreme.

However, seeing Zhu Aming endure his anger and find someone to carry Old Man Zhu to the mule cart, Shen Yun also closed his mouth.

In the end, Old Man Zhu was still scolded and carried into the car driven by Zhu Aliang. The old woman of the Zhu family sat beside Old Man Zhu and firmly grasped Old Man Zhu's body, preventing him from moving indiscriminately, so as not to aggravate his injuries.

And Shen Yun followed behind with Zhu Aming.

Walking into Chengji County, Zhu Aming chose an orthopedic doctor in the village. It is said that this osteopathic technique is quite skillful, and with the potion he has prepared, the injury that usually heals in three months only takes one month in his hands.

Of course, Shen Yun immediately knew the price to be paid for such an effect.

Zhu Aming walked out of the door worriedly, looked at the old woman of the Zhu family who was pretending to cry and peeking at Zhu Aming, and sighed deeply: "People want four taels of silver in one breath, otherwise they won't be treated." “

Speaking of which, Zhu Aming was really deflated.

I begged for each other, but I only borrowed a little more than two taels, and even if I counted the one that Shen Yun had just handed to me, it was only three taels.

Seeing that spring planting is about to be made again, it is a time that requires a lot of money, and if you borrow it yourself, you must pay it off in a short time.

What's more, there is still a gap of one or two now.

How do you know that Old Man Zhu shouted and scolded at this time: "Beast, do you want to hurt your old man to death?" Why did I raise such a brute as you? “

The shouting attracted many people around to watch. At this moment, Zhu Aming immediately had no choice, but looked at the old woman of the Zhu family with a pleading gaze. I hope she can take out the money she secretly hid for Zhu Aliang's marriage.

However, Zhu Amin was disappointed after all.

Not only that, but even the old woman of the Zhu family cried out, and her burning gaze made Zhu Aming's face feel like a fire.

"I even took out the money that my family used to buy seeds and hire cattle, and I also borrowed more than two taels of silver from others. It's just a tael, have you given all your money to this beast for so many years to spend all your time drinking? “

Zhu Amin finally got angry.

The honest man looked very angry, including the fact that many of the words he had been holding back before suddenly burst out at this time.

pointed at Zhu Aliang and scolded him, instantly blocking the mouths of the old man Zhu and the old woman of the Zhu family.

The people who commented on Zhu Aming's head and feet were stunned, and they didn't want to have such a secret here. Looking at the eyes of the old woman of the Zhu family, she was not good at getting up.

Confucianism certainly advocates filial piety, but there are fewer disputes between fathers and sons in the private family. If it is true as Zhu Aming said, then morally, Zhu Aming has nothing to condemn.

The old woman of the Zhu family trembled.

In the eyes of many people, he took it out in his arms for a long time, and then, his dry hand like a chicken's claw grabbed three copper coins one after another. Counting carefully, I saw more than a dozen words, and put them back in my arms, which pushed the whole money over.

Of course, anyone can see the unhappiness on the face.

Zhu Aming breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what happens next, in the end, I can now send my father, who is still calling, to be treated.

The doctor also abides by medical ethics.

did not increase the price again because of the delay of Fang Cai, collected the money, and asked Zhu Aming and a few strong men inside to hold down the old man Zhu, just a moment, he spliced the broken bone stubble in one place, took the wooden plank, and tightly fixed the broken leg.

Old man Zhu finally calmed down a lot, because the severe pain had made him faint.

It's not like the clinics of later generations, and there are things like hospital beds. The doctor was just in the bones, so he prescribed the medicine, grabbed the medicine, and handed it to Zhu Aming.

"Remember, these medicines are one pair every three days, and the residue is dried after three decoctions. After one month, remove the wooden board, grind the residue into a powder and apply it to the affected area. “

The explanation was careful, but Zhu Aming could only look at the lotus leaf bags that exuded a strong smell, and his face was full of sorrow.
