Aunt Fang could only wipe her tears and kept saying words of thanks to Mi Shaodong.

Ye Langzhong, who is in his fifties, is drying medicinal herbs in the small courtyard.

Seeing a few people running into the door with a child in their arms sweating profusely, they put down their work unhurriedly.

When he saw Mi Houjun and Hongdou, his eyes were quite flat.

When he saw Aunt Fang who was cowering and following behind, his face suddenly turned a little cold.

Hongdou anxiously urged: "Sir, take a look." ”

The people here, whether they are Lang Zhong or the jukushi, are all respectfully called Mr.

Ye Langzhong picked up a piece of linen cloth to wipe his hands, and asked unhurriedly, "Whose child is this?" ”

Mi Houjun hurriedly said: "Sir, it is important to save people from the sick, ask whose child what to do?" ”

Seeing that Mi Houjun's words were a little tough, Ye Langzhong was silent.

Stretch out your hand and put it on the pulse of Xiaocao's right hand first.

After a while, he counted the pulse on the left side of the grass.

Then he rolled Xiaocao's eyelids, lifted Xiaocao's lips and looked at it.

He picked up the burlap again and wiped his hands unhurriedly.

Mi Houjun asked anxiously, "Sir, what's wrong with this kid?" ”

Ye Langzhong said leisurely: "This is going to have chickenpox, the child is too weak, and chickenpox can't come out." ”

Hongdou was impatient and asked repeatedly, "Sir, is Xiaocao still saved?" ”

Aunt Fang began to sob again.

Ye Langzhong glanced at Mi Houjun and Hongdou: "I'll pick up a few packets of divergent medicine first, whether she can survive or not depends on her luck." ”

After saying that, he still sat still.

Hongdou hurriedly said, "Please Mr. hurry up and pick up the medicine." ”

Mi Houjun already understood that Ye Langzhong wanted to see gold.

Busy said: "Sir, I am Shaodong, who opened a leather shop in Longshan Pass, please Mr. hurry up and pick up medicine for this child, and the consultation money is all on me." ”

"I'm in a hurry, I didn't bring any money with me, please take care of Mr."

Ye Langzhong glanced at Aunt Fang, who was crying incessantly, shook his head and said, "It's not that you are old and don't talk about people, and you don't give Shaodong face." ”

"This Aunt Fang already owes me more than two taels of consultation fees, one or two years."

"Lao Yu is also a small business, and the medicinal materials he picked up are also bought for copper money, how can I afford to pay a lot of money to her family?"

Hongdou was angry, and when he stepped forward, he was going to pick up this thin Langzhong.

Mi Houjun hurriedly stopped the red bean: "Since Mr. doesn't believe me, I have a personal jade pendant here to mortgage it here?" ”

As he spoke, he reached into his collar and took out a delicate little jade Buddha tied with five-colored silk threads.

Aunt Fang hurriedly cried and stopped: "Shaodong, this can't be ...... Xiaocao can't be saved, and it's her life. ”

"My poor Nier, my little grass, for the next life...... You must remember to be reborn in a rich and good family. ”

Ye Langzhong sighed and said to Mi Houjun: "Shaodong's thing is too valuable, and the old man doesn't dare to ask for it, just ask Shaodong to remember to return today's consultation fee." ”

With that, he got up and went to pick up medicine for Xiaocao.

Mi Houjun handed Xiaocao to Aunt Fang to hold, and followed Ye Langzhong to another room containing medicinal herbs.

He arched his hand and said to Ye Langzhong: "Sir, if you can save this child's life, I will pay back the consultation fee that Aunt Fang owes you first." ”

Ye Langzhong raised his head and glanced at Mi Houjun and smiled.

Said: "Old decay, do your best." ”

The life of the grass is really as tenacious as the weeds on the side of the road, and a small bowl of black bitter medicine juice is poured down, and after a while, the breathing is much calmer.

Ye Langzhong looked at it very attentively.

He put Xiaocao on a simple bed for the patient to lie on, and asked his mother-in-law to bring a quilt and cover Xiaocao.

Mi Houjun saw that Xiaocao was better, so he told Hongdou that he would go back first, and then come to pick them up in the evening.

Aunt Fang was very sorry in her heart, and thanked Mi Houjun again and again.

Hongdou knew that the door of his shop was still open, and he couldn't leave people.

When he went back, he could also send the big tiger and the little tiger home to watch the door, so he nodded and told him to go.

Seeing Mi Houjun walking out of Langzhong's small courtyard, she wanted to stop him, so that he could see her father and say something.

Think about it, forget it again.

Longshan Pass is so big, there is no need to bring special words, as soon as her father enters the village, someone will say something to him.

An hour later, Ye Langzhong asked Xiaocao to pour a small bowl of medicinal juice.

Gradually, some red spots began to appear on Xiaocao's neck and cheeks.

Unbuttoned Xiaocao's torn jacket, I saw that there were some red spots on the child's chest.

Ye Langzhong's thin face showed a look of relief.

In the evening, Mi Houjun came to pick up the red beans.

Seeing that Xiaocao's chickenpox was almost out, Ye Langzhong picked up a few more pairs of astringent herbs.

Hongdou was taken aback when he saw that Mi Houjun took out a large piece of silver and wanted to pay Ye Langzhong for the diagnosis.

grabbed Mi Houjun and blurted out: "Just a few herbs, why do you come up with so much money?" ”

Ye Langzhong was also a little embarrassed: "How does this make it, the old man also knows that Aunt Fang is not trying to ...... it."

"Shaodong should be kind, just pay today's consultation fee to the old man."

Mi Houjun said with a smile: "I agreed with my husband, as long as you can save the child's life, I will repay the consultation fee owed to you for Aunt Fang." ”

"Sir, I'm good at medicine, and I'm not good at talking, doesn't count, right?"

Aunt Fang came over when she heard the sound and knelt down in front of Mi Houjun.

Kowtowed with tears and said: "Shaodong saved my family Xiaoni, I have nothing to reciprocate, and I don't dare to ask Shaodong to spend more money." ”

He said to Ye Langzhong again: "Sir, please rest assured, although my widow has died of a man, she still has two sons, and the consultation fee owed to Mr. will be repaid sooner or later." ”

Mi Houjun thought for a while and said, "Aunt Fang, I think your two sons are quite sensible. ”

"I just want a little guy to follow, how about you pawn your eldest son to me?"

Aunt Fang listened to Mi Houjun's words, as if she wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob and buy her eldest son.

Unconsciously, his face changed slightly.

I hesitated in my heart and raised my eyes to look at the red beans.

Mi Houjun smiled: "Aunt Fang, don't think too much, I just look at the big tiger is honest and the little tiger is clever." ”

"If you want, I'll hire Dahuzi to work in my shop first."

"Asking you to pawn him to me, that is, I will pay you a deposit first, not that you sell your son to me."

Aunt Fang heard Mi Houjun say this, and she was clearly trying to help her orphans and widows.

Hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed: "The widow has succumbed to the kindness of the Shaodong family, and from now on, my two sons are willing to work for the Shaodong family." ”

Mi Houjun smiled: "The little tiger is still too young, just call the big tiger to go." ”

Mi Houjun used a piece of silver of more than three taels to settle the consultation fee owed to Aunt Fang, and stuffed the remaining scattered silver and a few bags of herbs to Aunt Fang.

Aunt Fang thanked her for her kindness, excused herself and pushed it again, and then she happily held it in her hand.

Ye Langzhong was also very happy and personally sent them out.

He also stood at the gate of the courtyard and specially advised some doctors not to see the wind or anything.

Coming out of Aunt Fang's house, Hongdou said to Mi Houjun: "I will return the money that Aunt Fang owes you." ”

Mi Houjun shrugged: "Okay, I happened to work for me alone." ”

Red Bean gritted his teeth and clenched his fists: "You ......"

When Hongdou returned home, she saw her father busily stuffing something under the pillow.

He said angrily: "Dad, don't you count those copper coins as soon as you enter the house, okay?" ”

An Xiucai saw that he couldn't hide it, so he stumbled and said, "Yes, then, ......"

Hongdou sighed: "Dad, I know, the money is almost used up." ”

"But don't worry, Dad, you will have a way, and you won't be hungry anymore."

An Xiucai hurriedly nodded: "Dad knows, knows." ”

asked again: "What happened to Fang Jianizi?" ”

Azuki was about to cook dinner when he stopped.

"The grass is out of chickenpox, and it's already out."

An Xiucai was silent for a while, and then said, "That disease is the boss...... Yet, then, you're a Nizi family......"

Hongdou no longer listened to what her father wanted, went to the stove, and began to make dinner.

Lying on the rotten straw, listening to the scattered barking of the group of dogs led by the big black outside, Hongdou was angry with himself.

If you say it well in front of your father every day, there will be a way, there will be a way.

It's been a few days, and I'm still at a loss.

Except for Mi Houjun, he couldn't find the slightest way to make money on his own.

Thinking that today it was still Mi Houjun who spent more than three taels of silver for himself and saved Xiaocao, and the heart of the red bean was even more roasted.

But she wandered around Longshan Pass for a few days, only to see hoarfrost all over the ground, and her eyes were cold, and she really couldn't find any way to make herself rich overnight.

Not to mention getting rich, this cold day, maybe it will be a blizzard that will make people starving.

I can fight and box, but I can't go to a crowded place to practice chest crushing boulders.

Hongdou sighed, I don't know if I will live more comfortably when I take my father out to perform on the street?

I can't find a way to make a lot of money, and I owe someone money for the job, so I have to do it for others.

What's more, no matter whether the red bean is happy or not, he still owes the favor of the boss.

Hongdou walked into the leather shop and saw that Dahuzi was already sweeping the floor.

Poor children are in charge of the house early, and the big tiger is only nine years old, so he knows how to get up early and work diligently.

Seeing Hongdou walk in, Dahuzi, who usually doesn't talk much, called softly: "Sister Hongdou." ”

Hongdou often sees Big Huzi, Little Huzi and Hongsheng and a few other snotty babies running around together, and they don't think he can do anything.

Today, I saw him holding a broom in his hand, skillfully sweeping the floor of the shop.

called people politely, and immediately felt that this child was a little young and old.

She was thinking about Xiaocao in her heart, but she didn't have much time for the first half of the day.

It wasn't until the lunch of the leather shop was made that he walked towards Aunt Fang's house.

Aunt Fang was sitting at the door scrubbing hemp.

A pair of hands soaked in a broken jar filled with firewood charcoal gray water, dyed black and black.

Seeing the red beans coming, Aunt Fang hurriedly got up.

Hongdou said: "Aunt Fang, let me look at Xiaocao, you are busy with yourself." ”

Aunt Fang still got up quickly and washed her hands in the basin of water next to her.

said to Hongdou: "Xiaocao's life was snatched back by Mi Shaodong and her Sister Hongdou, and she asked Sister Hongdou to come and see her." ”

Hongdou smiled: "What is Aunt Fang doing when she says these words?" When Uncle Fang was there, he didn't pick up my father and me. ”

Hearing Hongdou mention her man, Aunt Fang's eyes suddenly turned red again.

Seeing the red bean walking towards the door, he held back his tears, and only quietly wiped his eyes with the sleeves of his torn jacket.

Aunt Fang's house is also an adobe thatched house, which looks much better than Hongdou's house from the outside.

If it weren't for her man's sudden illness and death, the family would still be able to barely survive by relying on hard work.

Red Beans didn't walk into the house.

Children with chickenpox should not see the wind and see the living.

So, she stood at the door, just to see how the grass was recovering.

Xiaocao seemed to be in good spirits, sitting alone on a messy bed made of adobe.

Hongdou saw that Xiaocao's little face and hands were full of chickenpox bubbles.

In his hand, he also holds a homemade leather air drum that is blown round and dried by a chicken sac.

The bean seeds are put in it, and they are playing with "thin and thin".

Suddenly, seeing someone coming to the door, Xiaocao looked at it with a pair of big eyes, and looked a little scared.

Aunt Fang hurriedly walked into the house: "Nier, call Sister Hongdou quickly." ”

Xiaocao twisted her body and pounced on her mother.

It turned out that in the past, red beans rarely came out to visit the door, and the young grass didn't recognize this red bean sister at all.

Hongdou stood at the door and said with a smile: "Aunt Fang, I won't go in, Xiaocao's medicine must be remembered to fry it for her according to the hour." ”

Aunt Fang agreed again and again, but she was entangled by the grass and couldn't come out to deliver red beans after her.

Hongdou left Aunt Fang's house and walked a few steps.

Suddenly, I saw that the fork in the road in front of me was passing, and Xiaohuzi was carrying a large bundle of firewood on his back, struggling to go home.

Red beans greet the past.

The little tiger is small, and the firewood on his back is a bundle, so he can only bow his head and move forward.

Hongdou walked up to him, and he looked up in surprise.

"Sister Red Bean."

Hongdou hurriedly went to hold the bundle of firewood on his back: "Sister, come and see your little grass sister......"

"Come, sister will carry it for you, what are you doing with all this?"

Xiaohuzi blinked his eyes, and he didn't know how to say something humble like thank you in the mouth of an adult.

He quickly shook his head and said, "Sister Hongdou, I can do it." ”

He refused to take off the sheaves of firewood from his back.

Hongdou saw that this kid was stubborn, so forget it.

Even if she can replace him for the time being, what use can she do.

Hongdou smiled at him: "Then you can take it slowly, cut less next time." ”

Seeing that Hongdou turned around to leave, Xiaohuzi suddenly shouted, "Sister Hongdou." ”

Hongdou looked at him: "What? ”

thought he had changed his mind and asked her to carry firewood for him.

Xiaohuzi hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Mother doesn't call me to say ......"

Hongdou smiled: "What's the matter?" ”

Xiaohuzi looked at Hongdou: "Sister Hongdou, you go...... Let's take a look at Uncle Zhang's little mother-in-law. ”

After saying that, he hurriedly carried the bundle of firewood and left.

It was as if his mother had heard it and was going to come and beat him.

Xiaohuzi's words suddenly made Hongdou's heart cold and cold.

In the past few days, she is thinking about Sister Wang in her heart.

But she has already made a grudge with Butcher Zhang, and it is really not good to go to Butcher Zhang's house to see the Wang family.

Hongdou did not regret that he beat up Butcher Zhang that day, but he felt sorry for Sister Wang, living in such a wolf's den.
