Chapter 101: Staying overnight
"I don't know who the girl is." The woman spoke cautiously, she was a village woman, she had never seen such a woman, not to mention that the man standing outside the door looked even more extraordinary in a brocade robe.
"Madame, don't panic, we are from Mirror City, we are going to Xujing, when passing by this village, I saw the child crying on the side of the road, so I stopped to see what was wrong, only to know that it was something that was broken, and he was afraid to go home, so I said I wanted to help him." Su Beiyuan lied a little, she was supposed to go to Mirror City, but she changed it and said that she was from Mirror City.
Chonghua listened, lowered her head and hooked the corners of her lips, she really didn't hesitate at all, she said so naturally when she talked nonsense.
"Thank you girl first, but we don't dare to bother the girl." The woman looked down at the child in her arms.
"What about the owner's stuff?" Su Bei Kite said lightly.
The woman was silent, she didn't know what to do, she didn't have the money to pay the owner's peach cake, it was almost afternoon, and they would definitely not be able to buy another pack in the county.
"Madam, I just said that we have horses, and it will take less than an hour to go back and forth to the county seat." Su Bei Kite said tentatively.
"Even if you have a horse, I can't afford to pay for what the owner wants to buy, my family has no money."
"I have money." Su Beiyuan said: "I can help you buy the peach crisp back, including the medicine you prescribed, you can buy it back." ”
The woman raised her eyes, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, but in a blink of an eye they disappeared again: "Why would the girl help someone like me, I must not be in vain by the girl's favor." ”
"We want to spend the night with you tonight, and of course I will pay you, and I will also help you buy back what you have broken." Su Beiyuan smiled: "It's not like you're receiving my favor in vain, right?" ”
The woman hesitated, and looked down at her son, who was clutching her apron and looking at her with a plush face.
"Mother, if I don't give things to the owner today, the owner will beat me." The boy said aggrievedly.
The woman took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and said, "Okay, I promise you, you will sleep at my house tonight." ”
"Thank you, ma'am." Su Beiyuan smiled: "But I saw that the child bought medicine, and the lady was sick." ”
The woman sighed while helping Su Beiyuan and Chonghua guide the horse to the back of the house: "I am a widow, and I am sick all the year round, I have a little money to take medicine, I can't do any work, I can only do some needlework to subsidize the family, my son is so young to help the rich families in the village work to earn some change, if it weren't for the house left by the husband before his death, my mother and son would have been living on the streets a long time ago." ”
Su Bei Kite placed the horse and said to the woman: "I know a little about medical skills, you might as well let me help my wife take a look, and I will prescribe you a side medicine when I go to the county seat." ”
The woman did not refuse, and led Su Bei Kite and Chonghua into the house.
Su Bei Kite asked the woman to roll up her sleeves and put her two fingers on her wrist for a brief diagnosis.
"You've had a lung disease for years, and it will take a few days to heal." Su Bei Kite withdrew his hand.
"I naturally know this, I used to ask a doctor to see when my husband was there, and he said that it was a lung disease, but now where do I take medicine, but I can live a day by day as if I was boiling oil." The woman coughed lightly twice and sighed.
"I looked at the medicine that fell on the ground, and I think the prescription is really bad, your body is very weak, but you have a citrus aurantium, ephedra, this kind of medicine is too fierce, not only can it not be good to eat all year round, but it hurts your body even more, I will re-prescribe two pairs of medicines for you, one I will buy for you, and the other is a cheaper medicine considering that your family really has no money, but it also works, and you can eat it all year round." Su Bei Kite got up and went to write the prescription.
"If this is the case, the peasant woman is grateful." The woman stood up and said gratefully.
"I am very grateful for you to provide me with a place to live, and I would like to thank you for taking us in." Su Beiyuan smiled and handed the written prescription and silver to Changqing, and asked him to go to the county seat to prescribe medicine and buy peach crisp.
