Within a few days, my brother sold the Gu family's old house, and everything that could be sold at home was sold, and the pile of old books was sold by him to a vendor who collected old goods for a few dollars of silver, and the vendor stepped on the pile of old books with a look of disgust, only saying that such waste paper can only be used to start a fire, and there is no other use.

Gu Ying felt sorry for those books, but he didn't stop them.

What qualifications does she have to stop it? The books and the house were left to the children and grandchildren by the ancestors of the Gu family, and Gu Jin was the heir to these things, so what reason did she have as a woman to stop it?

Gu Ying was a little discouraged, she thought about fighting, but how could she fight?

Run away? She has no guide, she is a single woman, and she can't even get out of the city.

Suicide? She doesn't want to die!

Gu Ying's heart was very confused, her brother asked her to dress as a man more conveniently, she didn't object, she kept silent all the way, and her brother didn't care about it.

Gu Ying thought that this was the end of her life, and she should accept her fate, until one day, her brother died.

On that day, she and her brother stayed at a post station on the way, but in the evening, her brother quarreled with another show at the post station because of a trivial matter, and even ended up fighting.

Yi Cheng came forward to mediate, and taught his brother a few words between the words, his brother felt insulted, and pulled Gu Ying to rush to the night at night, who knew that the road was slippery in the middle of the night, and his brother still had fire in his heart, and he fell off the cliff and fell to his death.

Gu Ying stumbled down the cliff, and when she found her brother's body in embarrassment, it was already dawn, barren mountains and mountains, she was alone in front of a corpse, and for a while dazed fear came to her heart, and Gu Ying cried in a dark place.

She doesn't know where to go in the future, her brother is dead, and no one wants to give her away as a concubine, but now she is an orphan girl and has no relatives to shelter, and her future future is afraid that it will be worse than being a concubine. She is also old, and the best case is to marry into a poor family as a wife, and the worst case is that it is not impossible to be sold into a kiln.

In such a world, orphan girls are like fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Thinking of this, Gu Ying shuddered、、、

There is a saying called putting oneself to death and then being born, Gu Ying cried and cried slowly and stopped crying, she looked at her brother's corpse, and suddenly had a bold idea, this thought made her afraid, but more than that, she was excited, and even her whole body was trembling with excitement.

Why can't she, why can't she be her brother? Why can't she be called Gu Jin?

She and her brother are twins, and they already look like seven points, although she has more feminine softness than her brother, but these are not problems, she can use medicinal powder to blacken her face and draw her eyebrows thicker, so that she is eight or nine points like her brother. She still remembers reading in a book about a kind of medicinal powder that can make people grow a swollen lump like an Adam's apple in their throat after eating, which is not painful or itchy, but it can make people change their voice.

As for the breasts, this is also easy to do, these days she has been dressed as a man and has been wrapping her breasts, and her waist is thick, and no one has found out that she is a woman along the way, most of these people who are rushing to take the exam are weak and talented, and some are even more feminine than her, she believes that as long as she is careful enough, no one can detect it.

Gu Yingfei dug a big deep pit with all her strength and buried her brother, she dug that pit for two days, digging with branches, digging with flat stones, and even using her hands to buckle it, and she didn't care if her fingers were bleeding.

When she was hungry, she nibbled on two mouthfuls of dry buns, and when she was thirsty, she drank a little dew, and she dug desperately like a madman, and she only knew that she had to dig as deep as she could, and as deep as she could, lest her brother's body be discovered、、、

Thinking of herself at that time, Gu Jin, who was standing on the street, suddenly laughed out loud, her laughter became louder and louder, and she couldn't stop it, and even attracted the curious eyes of many people.

Gu Jin didn't care about the scrutiny of those people, she just smiled so happily and hard.

Women can't laugh like this, women can't take the top exam, women can't walk between heaven and earth, stand up to the sky.

Women should be attached to men, just like the little daughter-in-law of the Wu family.

The woman was the same age as her, but she lived a cautious life, and she didn't dare to make a mistake, she was supposed to live that life, but now she could laugh wantonly.

She wants to take the exam, take the top prize, and be a big official.

She wants to buy a house, buy land, and buy a home of her own.

It's not her mother's family, it's not her mother-in-law's family, it's her family.

She knew that she was doing something shocking, and if it happened, she would definitely be killed.

But so what, instead of being cut by the bits and pieces of life over the years, she would rather die vigorously, even if she dies, she doesn't want to die in a small courtyard, she has been robbing men with other women like dogs grabbing bones all her life, she doesn't want to die of depression, she doesn't want to kill herself in despair, she would rather die at the entrance of the vegetable market, die in front of tens of millions of people, and she has no regrets.

She finally understands that she is not afraid of death, but she does not want to die silently.

She is Gu Jin, and she will be Gu Jin from now on.

——————————

When Gu Jin returned to the inn, it was already dark, and Xiao Er greeted her courtetally when he saw her.

This little second is named Liu Bao, and he is a distant nephew of Liu Yuan, who is the shopkeeper.

Liu Bao has a round face that looks very festive, and he speaks and acts smoothly and thoughtfully, he is simply a good seedling who was born to be a shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Liu also valued him very much, but who knew that just half a year ago, he suddenly began to have sores on his body, which were rotten and did not scab, and he did not get better after taking many medicines.

The guests in the store were afraid when they saw him with sores, for fear that the disease would spread to others, and the business in the store was also greatly affected, although the shopkeeper Liu liked his nephew, but he cared more about this store, so he wanted to send Liu Bao back to his hometown, Liu Bao begged bitterly, and at this time Gu Jin came to the auspicious inn.

Gu Jin said that she could cure the disease, and the shopkeeper Liu didn't believe it when he saw that Gu Jin was young, but Liu Bao was desperate, and now that someone said that it could be cured, where would he give up?

Gu Jin was actually seeing a doctor for the first time, and she didn't have confidence in her heart, but she still pretended to be calm and diagnosed Liu Bao's pulse.

Liu Bao's disease is very simple, in fact, it is a carbuncle, the reason why it does not heal is because Liu Bao's congenital temper is insufficient, and his mind is too clear, thinking too much about hurting the spleen, and secretly consuming heart and blood, which causes the qi and blood not to grow muscles, and the ulcers are difficult to repair.

Gu Jin's prescription is also very simple, astragalus decoction in four taels, and then take it with some spleen-strengthening and appetizing medicines.

"Shennong's Materia Medica" says that the main carbuncle of astragalus has been defeated for a long time.

"The Book of Difficulty" has clouds, and those who damage their spleen will not eat for their skin.

Astragalus is the most appropriate proof of this carbuncle ulceration.
