Chapter 54: Buying People on the Street
"Seeing that she's getting sick, who's going to buy it? In the end, it's not a piece of grass that has swept away, thrown into a mass grave! ”
"Alas...... It's so pathetic! The chef of a well-known restaurant must have good cooking skills. It's a pity that she's too sick, you see that she coughs so badly, it can't be tuberculosis! ”
"Tuberculosis? That's contagious! Brother, let's not join in the fun, in case it is rumored, we can only wait at home to die. I still have a family to take care of, so I'll go first. ”
The two not far behind him looked at each other and left one after another. Gu Ye was successfully attracted by the comment that "the cooking skills are very good". The woman's illness should have been caused by pneumonia caused by cold and not treated in time. In this era without antibiotics, pneumonia may be a fatal serious illness, but for her, it is only a matter of a few doses.
At present, she has at least two hundred taels of silver per month, and there is no pressure to support herself more. The point is, she really doesn't want to wronged herself anymore, she eats those hard-to-swallow foods every day, she is about to eat depression!
"Two taels of silver, has anyone bought it? A skilled cook, as long as two taels of silver, you can buy a little girl in the hands of Renyazi, and it is more than this price! The big man's eyes as he glared at the woman were full of ferocity. The onlookers said that if this woman was not bought, she would never survive tonight.
When Gu Ye saw the big man, he picked up the whip in his hand and was about to whip it at the woman, so he hurriedly said, "Stop!" I bought this person!! ”
The big man glanced at the inconspicuous cotton clothes on her body, frowned, and said impatiently: "Go!" Where did the little hairy girl come from, while playing! If you want to buy someone, let your family come over!! ”
"Why do you want my family to come over, can't I just give you silver?" Gu Ye took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve pocket, weighing more than two taels, and threw it towards the big man.
The big man took it in his hand, shook it, and nodded: "The money and goods are both gone." Little girl, it's not that I, Wang San, don't talk about morality, I'll give you one last chance to consider. After people take it away, even if the adults of your family come, don't think that I will return your money! ”
"Don't think about it, the lord of two taels of silver, I can still do it. Uncle, can I take people away? Seeing that the big man nodded, Gu Ye walked to the woman's side and helped the person up with her arm.
The woman coughed violently, and after calming down a little, a look of despair appeared on her haggard face: "Girl, I can't look at this body anymore. You'd better get the money back and leave, ahem, ahem......"
"Auntie, you are a minor illness, and it will be so serious after a long time. I just came out of the Jimin Hall, I know the shopkeeper there, I will take you over and let the doctor show you. ”
What Gu Ye had in his hands to treat pneumonia was the stock of medicines from his previous life, and if it came out like this, he would have to find a way to cover it up. Simply, let the doctor at Jimintang prescribe some medicine first, and then she will do it when she decocts the medicine.
Just when Gu Ye helped the woman, joined his brother, and walked towards Jimin Hall. In a remote alley at the corner of the street, the big man said to the two inconspicuous men: "The task is complete, this is the twenty taels of silver given by the woman, and the two taels of silver that the little girl bought." One of you is seven taels and I am eight taels, no opinion, right? ”
"Of course no comment! We only said a few words behind the little girl's back, but the cold wind blew for more than an hour, big brother, and you should have taken the lion's head. One of them turned out to be silver.
The other put the money away and asked puzzledly, "Big brother, what do you mean by that woman?" The little girl didn't look like a rich lady, why did she try to get close to her? I didn't hesitate to take cold water in the winter, and I was so cold that I was about to die. I don't think she's pretending to be sick, so there won't be any accidents, right? ”
"What do you care about so much? We're just working with money, and the rest isn't within our range of concerns. Let's go, go back to Yancheng, let's have a good rub. In this place, there is not even a decent restaurant! The figures of the big man and the two gradually disappeared on the street corner.
In Jimin Hall, the shopkeeper was in the shop, sorting out the medicine collected from Gu Ye, and when he saw Gu Ye's brother and sister helping a woman with an embarrassed description to come in, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, this is?" ”
"This aunt is very sick, please help the old doctor take a look!" Gu Ye helped the woman to sit down on a stool. The old doctor prescribed medicine to the patient in front of him, and asked the man to catch the medicine, and then he came to check the woman's pulse.
The old doctor's expression became solemn, and it took a while to withdraw his hand to diagnose the pulse, sighed and said, "Your illness is caused by wind and cold hitting the lungs, and it has been delayed for a long time, and the phlegm is turbid and obstructs the lungs...... The old man prescribes a prescription for you, whether you can save your life depends on your luck! ”
"Girl, the old doctor is not sure about my illness, so don't waste your money." The woman coughed while trying her best to stop Gu Ye from grabbing the medicine.
"Aunt Yan," Gu Ye had already learned her surname from the woman, and persuaded, "If you don't try, how do you know that it won't work?" You come back with me, my master's medical skills are very good. Last time, I used the first aid method he taught me to save a patient who had a heart attack. Maybe he can cure you! ”
When the old doctor heard this, he also nodded and said, "This girl is right. The old man saw with his own eyes that she pulled a sick man who had lost his breath back from the palace of Hades. Although your illness is serious, it may be nothing in the hands of a divine doctor. ”
Gu Ye saw that the young man brought the tea, came in from the inner hall, got up and took the tea, and when everyone's attention was on the patient, she quickly went from the space to a bottle of medicine for pneumonia. This agent is more effective than antibiotics and does not have any side effects.
She poured this colorless elixir into the tea, sent it to Aunt Yan's hand, and said, "Drink hot tea to warm up." ”
In order to complete the task given by the master, Yan Qiutong also gave up. In the news she got, the target person understands medical skills, and in order to act realistically, she took a cold shower for three nights on the way here. In order to make her illness worse, she hadn't eaten much for three days. Early this morning, it was frozen in the cold wind for more than an hour. She felt that most of her life was gone!
No, the task given by the master has not been completed, and she can't die. Taking the tea, she poured it all down in one go. The warm tea water went down her stomach, and her cold body had a trace of heat. I don't know if it's her delusion, but she felt a warmth in her belly surging all over her body. Even the seriously ill body is much lighter.
"The shopkeeper, can you let Aunt Yan rest in your backyard, and then take her back when we finish purchasing?" With such a delay, I don't know what Uncle Nine and Aunt Nine will be in a hurry, their brothers and sisters have to hurry up with them to meet them, and Zhang Luo needs the New Year's goods.
With the degree to which the third master attaches importance to the little girl, the shopkeeper will naturally not refuse. Not only did he properly place the woman and let the young man decoct the medicine for her, but he also took a new set of cotton clothes from home that his mother-in-law had just made and asked her to change into them.
Gu Ye and Gu Ming, when they met Uncle Nine and them on the street, Uncle Nine's family of three was about to go crazy looking for them. In the face of the good-natured nagging of the ninth uncle and his wife, the brother and sister sincerely admitted their mistakes and explained the reason for their belation.
Hearing that Gu Ye spent two taels of silver to buy a sick person, and she had to give her money to see a doctor, Aunt Jiu wanted to say something, but in the end she held back. She sighed and said, "That's a poor man, too. The Buddha said: Saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, you are doing the right thing! However, this delay will require us to stay in town for one more day. ”
Gu Lier smiled and said: "Mother, it's rare for us to come to town, so naturally we have to go shopping, so many years of goods to buy, how can one day be enough!" ”
Aunt Jiu stretched out her index finger and tapped it on her head, and said, "What you said is light, you don't need money to live and eat in a hotel in the town!" When the time comes, he can't come up with the money, so he sells you to pay off the debt. ”
"Mother, my family is just such a precious daughter, are you willing to give up my father. Isn't that right, Dad? Gu Lier stuck out her tongue at her own house, seeking comfort from her father.
Gu Mo nodded and said, "Yes, my daughter is so sensible, capable, and considerate." No amount of money will be sold! Gu Lier smiled contentedly.
This is the normal way for parents and daughters to get along, right? A father as strange as Gu Qiao, I'm afraid that it is really difficult to find a second one in this world, why was she put it on the table? Gu Ye looked at Gu Li'er with some envy.
Gu Ming gently pulled her sister's arm, and said with a slightly sour nose: "Sister, you still have me and grandpa." I will be doubly good to you in the future! ”
"In the future, if you marry your sister-in-law, will you always be good to me?" Gu Ye retracted his gaze, smiled at his brother, and asked in a slightly joking tone.
Gu Ming's face swelled with heat, but he still nodded resolutely: "Hmm! No one is as important as a sister, even if it's ...... The same goes for your sister-in-law! ”
"Who's sister-in-law? Gu Ming, you want to marry at such a young age? Gu Li'er listened to half of what she said, and teased Gu Ming with a smile. Seeing that his face was getting redder and redder, Gu Lier laughed more and more unscrupulously.
"Sister Li, what are the things to buy for the New Year? Tell us about it! Gu Ye hurriedly came up to rescue his brother and changed the topic.
Gu Lier thought about it seriously and said, "I don't know very well!" I only know that I want to buy white noodles, meat, and dumplings. You also have to buy yellow rice, red beans, and sticky bean buns. There is also the need to buy more meat, which can be eaten in bacon for a winter. ”
"Sister Li, why are you talking about food, what about the rest?" Gu Ye asked.
"Hmm...... If the conditions at home are better, you have to buy cloth to make new clothes. In addition, buy red paper to write couplets to cut window flowers, ask the king of the stove, buy incense candles, candy, snacks, and worship gods...... That's all I remember. Why don't you ask my mother again? Gu Lier racked her brains and only came up with these.

I wish you all a happy and auspicious New Year in advance!
