278 The Deceased

Seeing that Su Hao was also going to see the sick woman, how could Chen Guanyu and Zhou Ruyuan sit still, and hurriedly stood up. Su Hao said to Zhou Ruyuan: "Zhou Juren, don't go, accompany Mr. Lin and Uncle Xu to eat and drink, and then go back to the house." Lao Chen, you can accompany me for a trip. ”

For something like this, Li Zhen and Xu Guangzu will not join in the fun. Now that Su Hao has gone, it would be superfluous for the two of them to go again. As an elderly person, they are used to this kind of thing, and in the year of the great famine, the people who starved to death on the road were one by one, not to mention the beggars in a few cities?

Ge Ling and Cheng Yi followed Xiao Yingzi left and right to the land temple she said. Su Hao walked behind them, and next to him was Chen Guanyu carrying a lotus leaf bag, which contained some cooked meat and buns. Xiong Minfan left two personal soldiers to protect Li Zhen and the others, and he took the other two to follow behind Su Hao and them to perform guard duties.

The Land Temple is in a small alley behind the restaurant, not too far from the restaurant, and the group walked for a short time to arrive. Xiao Yingzi pushed open the door of the Land Temple and led everyone into the temple.

There were no lights in the temple, but Su Hao was carrying a lantern, and as soon as they entered the door, the light of the lantern illuminated the entire land temple. With the help of the light, Su Hao could see that there was a land god in the middle of the temple, and there were incense cases and other objects in front of it. In a corner of the Land Temple, there was a pile of black things, and when I carefully identified it, I found that it was a lying man with a quilt on his body. Seeing everyone enter the door, the man got up and asked in a weak voice, "Is it Yingzi?" Who are you coming with? ”

"Mother, it's me, two sisters, and a few uncles." Yingzi threw herself to the side of the man in the corner, helped her to sit up, pointed at Su Hao and the others and said, "They are here to bring food to my mother, and that sister, she said that she is Langzhong." I can see my mother's illness. ”

"Oh, the folk woman Peng thanked you, and the two girls." The woman said.

Cheng Yi took the lotus leaf bag from Chen Guanyu's hand, walked in front of Peng's family, squatted down, untied the lotus leaf bag, and said, "Sister-in-law, we brought something to eat, you can eat first." ”

"Thank you, girl." Peng said, her eyes wandering over the meat and buns. With a hint of joy on her face, she said to Yingzi: "Yingzi, since it was given by the masters, you can eat it quickly." ”

Yingzi said: "Mother, the uncles gave us a lot of food, I have already eaten it on the road, these are specially brought to you by the uncles." ”

She wasn't lying, before leaving the restaurant, Cheng Yi did ask the shopkeeper to bring several big meat buns. Let Yingzi eat it on the way.

Peng took the chopsticks handed by the instrument, ate two bites of cooked meat, and ate a bun, then put down the chopsticks and said, "Thank you, girl." The women have already eaten it, so let's save it for tomorrow. ”

Everyone can see that Peng's is reluctant to eat these good things and wants to leave them for his daughter to eat the next day. Cheng Yi had the heart to persuade her a few words. I don't know where to start.

At this time, the singer stepped forward and squatted on the ground. He took one of Peng's hands and gently placed three fingers on her wrist. When Yingzi entered the door, he had already told Peng that Ge Ling was a Lang Zhong, so Peng didn't feel strange, just quietly stretched out his hand and asked Ge Ling to diagnose his pulse.

"Your illness is not serious, you are just tired, and you have eaten too little, plus you have a cold, I will prescribe you a side medicine, and you can get better after three days." After the singer finished his pulse, he said to Peng.

"Thank you, girl." Peng Shi can only say this sentence over and over again, and she still hasn't figured out the origin and intention of Su Hao's group, so she can only respond to all changes with the same, and she doesn't want to say anything else.

"Master Su, did you bring a pen and paper?" Ge Ling stood up and asked Su Hao.

Su Hao shook his head: "Why do I have a pen and paper on me?" ”

"I have ......," Xiao Yingzi whispered, and as she spoke, she turned out a few pieces of paper out of nowhere, as well as inkstones, brushes, and other things. Su Hao remembered that the shopkeeper said that Yingzi was the daughter of a Xiucai family surnamed Wen, and it was not strange to have these stationery.

Ge Ling poured water into the inkstone, studied the ink, and began to write the prescription. Before she could finish writing, the door of the Land Temple was pushed open again. A big man walked straight in with a small paper bag, and said as he walked: "Brother and sister, I picked up the side medicine for you, you can let Yingzi boil it for you......"

"Who's coming?" Xiong Minfan, who had been standing aside, took a quick step forward and stretched out his hand to stop the comer.

When the man entered the door, he didn't notice that there were so many people in the house, and when Xiong Minfan stopped him, he realized that the situation was wrong. The man was also fast, he handed the small paper bag he was carrying to his left hand, and drew the knife from his waist with his free right hand.

"Don't get me wrong, it's all your own people!" Peng hurriedly shouted.

Hearing Peng's shout, both the man and Xiong Minfan took a step back. At this time, everyone saw clearly, the person who came was wearing a government uniform, with a waist knife in his waist, and he was clearly patrolling the streets.

"Don't get me wrong, this eldest brother is Xue Zhutou of the county government, Xiaoying and her father are in Japan, and Xue Zhutou is a good friend, and Xue Zhutou has been taking care of our mother." Peng introduced to everyone.

"In Xia Su Hao, he is a foreigner, because he met Xiaoyingzi by chance, he knew that Sister-in-law Wen was sick, so he came to visit one or two." Su Hao stepped forward and bowed to Xue Zhutou.

"Oh, it turned out to be Su Gongzi, Shicai Xue didn't see it clearly, and he was rude." Xue Zhutou also arched his hand to Su Hao, and then remembered the medicine he brought, so he beckoned to Yingzi and said, "Yingzi, you go and soak the medicine first, and boil it for your mother to drink later." There are also two flatbreads here, some of which are hard, and you will bubble them with water and eat them with your mother. ”

Yingzi was about to pick up the medicine in Xue Zhutou's hand, but she didn't watch out for Ge Ling to take the medicine first. She put the medicine bag next to her nose and sniffed it, and said disdainfully: "Xue Zhutou, where did you get the side medicine to make trouble, this package of medicine is less than five cents, right?" ”

"This ......" Xue Zhutou was suddenly embarrassed. This medicine is indeed five yuan, but even if it is this five yuan, for Xue Zhutou, it is not easy to make it up. But what does he say about it?

"Girl, don't misunderstand Xue Zhutou's kindness. There are also several people in his family, and they are very poor. It is not easy for us poor people to scrape together five cents to buy medicine. Xue Zhutou, the concubine told you not to grab the medicine, how can you ......" Peng said in a helpless tone.

"Throw it away." Ge Ling said unceremoniously, "This medicine is just fooling things, if you really want to make Sister-in-law Wen's illness cured immediately, you have to take this girl's medicine." Daochang Chen, you can help me get the medicine. ”

"Girl, you medicine...... Is it expensive? Xue Zhutou asked cautiously.

"This pair of medicine is almost 50 Wen, and you have to take three pairs in a row." Ge Ling said proudly, and as she spoke, she handed the prescription written in her hand to Chen Guanyu.

"This ......" Xue Zhutou looked at Peng in surprise, I don't know where she found such a few rich friends, and as soon as she made a move, it was 150 Wen medicine.

"Uncle can't!" Peng hurriedly dissuaded, "Everyone meets in Pingshui, how dare the concubine let you break the bank." ”

"Who the hell are you? Why are you so generous to help my brother and sister? Xue Zhutou looked at Su Hao and asked coldly.

The so-called nothing is diligent, either treacherous or thief. Su Hao and the others are obviously people from other places, and they have nothing to do with the Peng family, if they are just sending food, it can be understood as sympathy. All of a sudden, it was to see a doctor and help with medicine, which made people have to doubt their intentions.

Xue Zhutou himself is a thief, and he is more sensitive to this abnormal phenomenon.

Right here, Cheng Yi suddenly walked out of the shadows, she walked up to Xue Zhutou, looked him up and down, and then asked timidly: "Dare to ask, are you Xue Yong, Uncle Xue?" ”

"Are you ......" Xue Zhu was stunned for a moment, he looked at Cheng Yi seriously, suddenly fell to his knees, and shouted: "Miss, you are Miss Cheng!" ”

"Uncle Xue!" Cheng Yi knelt down with it, tears raining down.

Seeing this, Chen Guanyu hurriedly took the prescription and went out to buy medicine. Xiong Minfan also hurriedly withdrew from the Land Temple with two personal soldiers, this kind of thing is not something that these small soldiers can get involved in, so it is better to avoid it as much as possible.

Su Hao and Ge Ling already knew Cheng Yi's life experience in the afternoon, and when they saw her kneeling opposite Xue Zhutou at this time, they had already guessed something, but it was just inconvenient to interject for a while.

"Miss, how does this make you get up quickly and torment the villain!" Xue Yong said desperately kowtowing to Cheng Yi.

"Uncle Xue, please get up and let your niece salute you." Cheng Yi said crying.

"Lao Xue, stand up quickly, Cheng Yi's girl's temperament, you don't know it." Su Hao stepped forward and pulled Xue Yong. Xue Yong is also the eldest man, how can Su Hao pull it up casually. Su Hao didn't care, he walked to Cheng Yi's side, put his arm on Cheng Yi's shoulder, and dragged her up first.

As soon as Cheng Yi stood up, Xue Yong also stood up. Cheng Yi wiped her tears and said embarrassedly: "Uncle Xue, I really didn't expect to see you here." ”

Xue Yong's face showed joy and said, "Miss, it's great that you're still alive." This son is your ...... Oh? You're still ......."

It turned out that Xue Yong saw Su Hao reaching out to pull Cheng Yi, and Cheng Yi did not resist, so he instinctively thought that Su Hao was Cheng Yi's father-in-law. In this era, how can husband and wife have such physical contact? However, when he looked at Cheng Yi's outfit again, it was clear that he was still dressed as a girl, so he quickly swallowed his words back. However, he muttered in his heart for a while, the eldest lady should be twenty-two or three years old, why is she still in the boudoir?

"Brother Xue, this is not the place to talk, why don't we talk in another place?" Su Hao said to Xue Yong.

"Which inn does Su Gongzi live in?" Xue Yong asked.

Su Hao said: "I temporarily stayed in Miss Cheng's house. Since it is easy to do it if it is an acquaintance, in this way, according to Xiao Ke, this is not a place to recuperate, so I asked this sister-in-law to go to Miss Cheng's house for a few days to cure the disease first. Brother Xue, what do you think? (To be continued......)
