Xie Mulin walked into the back building, lifted the curtain outside and peeked in.

Old Mrs. Xie was sitting on the bed in a daze bored, and when she saw her with sharp eyes, she said weakly: "Come in, what are you doing sneaky?" ”

Xie Mulin rolled his eyes, knowing that the old lady couldn't say anything good, but he still lifted the curtain and walked in: "What does the old lady think today?" Do you feel better than yesterday? ”

Old Mrs. Xie sighed: "It's not like this, it's groggy, I don't have much strength in my body, I don't have an appetite for eating, that is, I don't sneeze as much as I did yesterday, but my nose still flows." ”

Xie Mulin nodded: "That's a little better?" It can be seen that my prescription is still symptomatic. You drink the medicine like this for another two days and see how it works. When the rain is less and the river is calmer, I will go to the Du Family Medical Center to ask for a doctor. Even if Old Man Du is old and inconvenient to go to the doctor, there are other young doctors in his family, and it is no problem to treat a cold. ”

Mrs. Xie pouted: "That Du Fengchun is bigger than me now, but it's just that the rain is heavier and the river is more turbulent, so he can't go out for a doctor's treatment." I don't know, I think he is a nobleman! ”

Xie Mulin said: "Your old man was so sick a few months ago, but Old Man Du cured you." Be polite and keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, if people find out, they will be resentful, and the next time you get sick again, his children and grandchildren will not heal you wholeheartedly, so what should you do? Where can you find a better doctor than the Du family? ”

Mrs. Xie took a sip: "There are good doctors in the capital, and our family has a high-ranking official, even the imperial doctor can also be invited." I still don't know him Du Fengchun, a bad old man with a stinky temper?! ”

"But aren't you in Huyin, not in the capital? Here, you can only count on this family doctor, unless you are willing to find other doctors with different skills. ”

Old Mrs. Xie snorted coldly and whispered, "It's a big deal, I'll go to Pingwang Town, please go!" After a pause, he asked his granddaughter again, "Is there any new news from Pingwang Town?" Those outcasts...... Did you catch it? ”

Xie Mulin laughed when he heard this, and instead of answering, he asked, "Isn't your old man unconvinced?" Why are you still asking about them? ”

Mrs. Xie was a little sneering: "It's not that I don't believe it, doesn't it sound too ridiculous?" How far away is Huguang and Zhejiang? The displaced people over there arrived in Jiaxing so soon? And dare to rob official food? It sounds like a dream to me, how can I believe it? But everyone who is a general has been dismissed for this matter, how can it be fake? I really misunderstood. ”

Xie Mulin smiled: "It's good that you know it's a misunderstanding." No matter what news you hear in the future, if you have any doubts in your heart, just ask me or ask other people, even if you send someone out to find someone to inquire, don't run out to visit by yourself recklessly, otherwise there is something, the family will not know, how to deal with it? ”

Old Mrs. Xie shrunk her neck and muttered in a low voice, "I went out to see how much the river has risen, not to inquire about the news of the displaced people!" ”

"That's the same." Xie Mulin said lightly, "You can't believe me and the girl's words, thinking that we are coaxing you, the purpose is to trick you back to Xie Jiajiao, so I deliberately split the people around me, and secretly went to the river in front of the door to see how far the water level has risen." I can understand your thoughts, but I still advise you to do this kind of thing again in the future, and not to distract the people around you.

"Even if you take a few more men and women out to the river to see the scenery, who will stop you? There will only be people who will add clothes and umbrellas for you, and there will be people who will advise you to watch your steps and not fall. If there is a storm in the air, you will be advised to go back home. That way, you won't get drenched and sick again. In order to save face, it is really meaningless to forget the truth that 'the son of a daughter can't sit down'. ”

Old Lady Xie's face was red and white for a while, and she turned her head away in anger.

Xie Mulin only pretended not to see it, and continued: "There is no news of the displaced people outside, whether it is a displaced person or not, I can't say for sure. But even if no displaced people came to us, the water level in the river outside was getting higher and higher day by day. You'd better be prepared for the fact that we may retreat at any moment. You are a patient, and you need to be obedient. We'll cover you so that you don't blow the wind or rain, but you can't make a fuss. Otherwise, even if you succeed in allowing yourself to stay, it is not you who will suffer as soon as your illness worsens. You are also an old person, you are recovering from a serious illness, and you don't know how to take care of your body, do you really think that your life is too long? ”

Mrs. Xie was so aggrieved that she couldn't say a word.

Xie Mulin ignored it and walked out of the back building.

She just walked to the main courtyard, and it happened that Ma Lu Yao came back and reported to her: "Second girl, the carpenter from Qianwan Village has just delivered your ordered things, do you want to go to the front to take a look?" ”

Shermulin nodded and went with him to the front yard. A few days ago, she asked a carpenter from Qianwan Village to make a sturdy wheelchair that would make it easier to move around when transporting Mrs. Xie. The carpenter from Qianwan Village was once hired to participate in the renovation of the old house, and her craftsmanship was very solid, but she had less skill, but she did not plan to carve on a wheelchair, which was enough.

She went to check the wheelchair sent by the carpenter, and it was basically as she had drawn it, but it was a little bigger than she had imagined, and it was unadorned, and it looked a little clumsy. However, she tried to push it, and found that the wheels of the wheelchair worked well, and the chair looked bulky, but it was not difficult to push and it was not too strenuous. She asked the carpenter, and was satisfied when she learned that iron parts were used and that they had been oiled.

The carpenter also made a small mechanism at the handle of the wheelchair, and when necessary, he took two thick wooden sticks and passed through the hole left under the handle, and the wheelchair could be lifted up as a whole and turned into a sedan chair without a roof. When sending Mrs. Xie on the boat, this little mechanism is particularly useful.

Although this wheelchair still has many shortcomings, it is enough to transport Mrs. Xie. Xie Mulin was very satisfied, and after giving enough wages, he added an additional reward to the carpenter. The carpenter was very happy, and before leaving, he said, "If there is anything else that Miss wants to do, just come to me." Although my craft is a bit clumsy, I am still ranked among the best in a few nearby villages, and I will never cut corners! ”

Xie Mulin sent the carpenter away with a smile, and soon after he learned from Ma Lu Yao's house that the hooded raincoat specially ordered for Mrs. Xie had been prepared, and he was rushing to make other people's portions, and he could deliver it tomorrow, and he was finally relieved.

However, before this breath was relieved, there was bad news outside.

Another homeless person has robbed the road, and it is still the official ship that sent grain to Beijing.

This time, the location of the crime was no longer near Jiaxing, but closer to Hangzhou, and even only a dozen miles away from the pro-military camp under the command of General Hangzhou. However, the officers and soldiers who had only been in office with the new general and had not yet inspected the territory did not react at all, and they did not know until the shipwrights and soldiers who escaped from the hijacked official ship escaped and reported the case, and the local government sent someone to send them a letter.

The newly appointed noble son-in-law of the Lin family became the second Hangzhou general to take the blame. The court once again quickly received the news, and some officials quickly came to visit him, and treated him as his predecessor. The former general of Hangzhou had just entered the cell, and he saw that his successor was about to come to be his companion.

Xie Mulin hurriedly listened to the report, but he didn't bother to delve into the secret. The people of Qianwan Village had just sent her a message, saying that they had seen from a distance last night that there seemed to be a fire shaking on the other side of the river, in a long row, approaching their side.
