Chapter 117: The Medicine Seller
A pure natural dirt path stretches zigzag into the depths of the bamboo forest.
Walking along the path for two or three hundred meters, you can see a small courtyard and two earthen tile houses, with a variety of herbs growing in the yard and a small stream behind the yard.
Crystal clear creek.
That was Huang Lian's home.
"Knock knock".
Two dull noises wafted through the courtyard.
The sound is choppy, seemingly absent.
"Hmph, bad grandma, she will let me make medicine, and I won't be able to play for a while." The sound of milky milk came out.
I saw a little girl dressed in white cloth and powdered jade, holding a stone pestle and pounding medicine diligently.
The little girl became angry thinking about it, and smashed the stone pestle in her hand a few times.
A drop of dark green herbal juice was smashed and landed precisely in the little girl's mouth.
"Hmm~, it's so bitter."
The bitter taste of the herbs made the little girl spit out her pink tongue.
"Hey."
sighed, and it was the end of complaining.
Muttering, he picked up the stone pestle and slowly began to pound the medicine.
A rush of footsteps came from the bamboo forest path.
The little girl looked up suddenly, and the two big eyes looked straight at the trail.
As if he saw someone, he hurriedly got up from the stool.
Ignoring even the half-pounded medicine, the stone pestle threw it into the stone bowl and ran towards the door.
"Brother Huang Lian, I miss you so much."
The person who came was naturally Huang Lian, who had sold out of medicine.
The little girl took advantage of the situation and drilled into Huang Lian's arms, holding Huang Lian with both hands, and her eyes had already smiled into a pair of crescents.
"You, do you want me or do you want to be delicious.
Huang Lian rubbed the little girl's head, and took out a piece of maltose wrapped in candy paper from her clothes.
In the past six months, Huang Lian would bring her a piece of maltose every time she came back from the downtown area.
Sitting at the door every day and waiting for Huang Lian to come back is already what she looks forward to the most every day.
She snatched the maltose from Huang Lian's hand, and then nodded and kissed Huang Lian's side cheek.
"Brother Huang Lian is the best, hehe."
Carefully hiding the maltose in the sachet hanging around her neck, she held Huang Lian's arm, and her two eyes turned around and stared at what Huang Lian was holding in her hand.
"Let's go, little glutton, go home for dinner, I bought roast chicken today."
Huang Lian shook the roast chicken in his hand, and the eyes of the thief were about to see through the oiled paper wrapped in the roast chicken.
"yes, I'll have roast chicken tonight."
Yao Yao held Huang Lian and danced non-stop, maybe the greatest happiness for her was to be able to eat roast chicken every day.
It has been half a year since he was picked up by Lao Ji, a medicine seller.
This inexplicable detachment was completely restored not long ago.
Maybe it was to repay Lao Ji, maybe it was for some unknown secrets, in short, Huang Lian decided to stay and live in Shuimu Town.
In the past month, I have basically eaten coarse tea and light rice, and the place where I live is only two broken earth houses.
This kind of life is naturally incomparable to his usual state.
But it's extremely comfortable and happy.
There are no enemies around him who are countless times stronger than himself, and there are no enemies who plot against him.
This gives Huang Lian's family the feeling that there is a kind mother-in-law and a sister who is waiting for him to come home.
Let him be reluctant to leave.
Huang Lian has always been just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who came to this world because of an accident.
In his own world, family affection has disappeared without a trace in a car accident.
For home, Huang Lian has been looking forward to it for a long time!
"Mother-in-law has eaten."
Push open the dilapidated wooden door.
A hunchbacked old lady trembled and laid out the cutlery on the wooden table.
"Lian'er, I'm back, the rice is cooked, come and eat."
Lao Ji also smiled with relief when he saw Huang Lian.
"Mother-in-law, I bought roast chicken, I can eat it today."
Huang Lian opened the oil paper, and the aroma of roast chicken instantly filled the entire room.
Lao Ji frowned when he saw the roast chicken in front of him: "You went to the mine with that old dog Chen again?" ”
"Well, I dug up some good quality spars today and sold them for a good price."
Huang Lian did not deny it.
"Lian'er, if you want to eat your mother-in-law and pay for it for you, won't we go to this mine?"
"It's okay mother-in-law, mining is also exercise, and you can still make money."
Huang Lian also knew that his mother-in-law was worried about his safety, but there was really nothing that could hurt Huang Lian in Watercurtain Town.
Lao Ji also knew Huang Lian's personality, so he didn't say any more.
"Mother-in-law, the medicine is sold out today, a total of fifteen taels of silver."
Huang Lian took out the cloth wrapped in broken silver and handed it to Lao Ji.
"Hey, Lian'er, it's all said, what do I need money for an old bone, it's all for you and Yao, when I'm gone, you and Yaojia will build a big house and buy something delicious."
In this world where eternity coexists with ants, gold and silver are still more common among ordinary people than spirit stones.
"Mother-in-law, how can you be in such good health, when I make more money to tear down this old house and build a big one, you can just retire comfortably."
Mother-in-law's thoughts are understood by herself, not because she is reluctant to give up money, but because she wants to keep it for Huang Lian and Yao.
"You, you're still so young, don't be too tired of yourself."
Mother-in-law has been letting Huang Lian rest recently, she is really afraid of tiring Huang Lian.
"Hmph, why doesn't grandma let her rest and rest, she is also very tired from making medicine every day."
Seeing that Lao Ji was so "eccentric", she muttered and hugged her hands.
Grandma eccentric!
"Grandma, grandma is also good for you, if grandma leaves, you still have to learn a craft to support yourself."
Lao Ji, the granddaughter, really doesn't let herself rest assured.
"Brother Huang Lian will raise me, right?"
Yao Yao turned her head to look at Huang Lian who was eating, looking at her pitifully.
"Well, I'll take care of you, but you have to work your own."
"I know that Brother Huang Lian is the best."
She changed her face faster than she turned a book, and she burst into laughter in an instant, but she didn't listen to her efforts at all.
Tonight's roast chicken has added a lot of happiness to the family.
After eating, she ran back to her room, and she wanted to eat the treasure in the sachet alone.
As for Huang Lian, he was rushed back to his room by Lao Ji, who was about to rush to wash the dishes.
It's been almost half a year since he came here, and during this period, he has the elemental god body absorbing the aura day and night, and his own strength has also grown a lot, coupled with the unknown changes in the materials and body accumulated in Shangzhou City, in short, he has become a lot stronger.
The pitch-black right eye trembled slightly, similar to the night sky, and the earth house exuded a beautiful and gorgeous brilliance.
Huang Lian, who was lying on the wooden bed, waved his right hand, and a black shadow flew into the courtyard from the window, sneaking into the darkness to protect the family. 22
