This night, many people in the village and outside the village could not sleep well, and the Cai family and Lizheng's daughter-in-law stayed all night here, alternately applying ointment and feeding decoction to Chungui.

In addition to Liu Gui and Liu Quan, the two brothers in Sweetwater Village were in pain all night, and Patriarch Liu also lost sleep for the first time.

The news that Zhixing and Qi You have passed the first test of the hospital examination has spread all over the four towns and eight villages from everyone's mouths, and the two of them will come back tomorrow, and there is a talent in the family, which is a huge façade. When the news arrives, he, the patriarch, should come forward to celebrate, and then seek some convenience for the clan, such as asking for some ink treasures, and taking a few small people in the clan to recognize the door, but now this situation makes him have no face.

He also knew that he was such an inactive character, and today he was forced by Chungui to ride a tiger before he punished Liu Quan and Liu Gui, and others couldn't see anything. Not to mention Zhixing, even Qi You is afraid that he has a grudge against him.

Even his two grandsons, Liu Da Liu Er, expressed their dissatisfaction with him just now, they are so old, they think about big things and small things, but they will have no face in front of everyone in the future.

Alas, I'm getting old, and I'm almost losing my night, so I'll wait until tomorrow.

In the evening, the matter of returning to the ancestral hall in the spring and receiving the board was spread together with the news that Zhixing Qiyou had passed the first test, and the Chen Shi brothers entered the mountain in the morning, and when they came back in the evening, they almost cursed when they heard about it.

When he talked to others, he also said that he was a tenant of Qi You.

"That note was signed by me and Daddy Li, something that happened a year ago, where did he get his face to plant? I have to return to the spring to get the girl on the board to be right, rotten people out of a nest, bullshit stuff! ”

The two brothers Chen Shi spoke mercilessly, and they didn't know if it was the two brothers Liu Gui and Liu who were scolded, or if there were other people.

This curse spread quickly, and on the other hand, Cheng Tianbao could hear these two things wherever he went, and he talked about it when he went home. Li Lan immediately became anxious about this.

"The mourning star also gave the land to Chen Shi's brothers early in the morning?"

Cheng Tianbao glanced at her angrily: "It was a tenant a year ago, and we didn't know until something happened." ”

"These little things are not very old, and they have been guarding us for a long time!"

Li Lan was so angry that she slapped him: "You don't have any chance!" Didn't think about this stubble earlier! ”

Cheng Tianbao: "What use do I have in mind?" If I had planted his land with my front foot, I would have been in the ancestral hall now! ”

Li Lan glared at him: "Can our family compare with Liu Gui!" You're brothers to that mourning star! Separate families and brothers! Even if you share his food, no one will say anything! It's good now, the mourning star has fallen into Xiucai, you just scold him in front of him, he can go to the county government to pick a thorn in you! ”

"What's the use of a showman? He has been promoted and become an official, and then he will bury me! Cheng Tianbao was anxious and angry, and scolded and scolded.

"It's all to blame on the dead girl of the Liu family! The board is not wronged! If you don't die, give me a few days of sin! ”

The two of them scolded for a long night before stopping.

As everyone knows, Chungui is really suffering at the moment.

She slept groggily for a night, and Cai's and Lizheng's daughter-in-law took care of her alternately for a night, but when it was dawn, the heat was always up and down, and Lizheng's daughter-in-law was worried, and when another round of heat came up, she finally made a decision and quickly woke up Cai's who was asleep on the side.

"Ah Zhen, it can't go on like this."

Cai's spirit woke up: "What's wrong?" The heat is up again? ”

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law nodded, frowned, and said, "If you continue to burn like this, I'm afraid that your brain will be burned in a daze, and you can't wait like this anymore." ”

Cai came to his senses and touched Chungui's reddened face, which was startled: "It's hot again!" ”

"It's almost dawn, you go to Daddy Li's house and ask Zhicun to borrow an ox cart to come over, we have to go to the town to govern."

"The shopkeeper of the pharmacy in the town was a doctor in the early years, and I heard that your uncle Li Zheng said that the clerks and foreigners invited him to see a doctor, let's go to him to try."

Lizheng's daughter-in-law turned over the cabinet and turned out a clean mattress, and at the same time reunited the whole person to get into the car.

Looking back, Cai was stunned: "What are you doing in a daze?" Go ahead! ”

Cai's reaction quickly ran out of the door, and Lizheng's daughter-in-law went next door to explain the situation to the two little ones. Zhiping was tired of crying yesterday, and he is still asleep at the moment, but Zhimin woke up as soon as there was movement.

Seeing that it was Lizheng's daughter-in-law, she hurriedly got up: "Auntie, is your sister-in-law okay?" ”

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law touched her head lovingly: "Zhimin obediently takes care of her younger brother at home, and your sister-in-law will send your sister-in-law to the town, and then come back with your two brothers, okay?" ”

Zhimin didn't understand anything more than Zhiping, and after thinking about it for a while, she also knew that this meant that her sister-in-law was still sick, so she held back the tears in her eyes and nodded vigorously.

Lizheng's daughter-in-law sighed, tucked the quilt for her, and came out. Then I went back to my house and took three or five taels of silver, Li Zheng didn't sleep well all night, and after listening to the news of the repeated high fever in the spring, he couldn't sleep, and smoked dry tobacco vigorously. Lizheng's daughter-in-law didn't dare to delay more, and hurriedly returned to Liu's house after a few simple words.

Li Zhicun soon arrived in a donkey cart, and the three children of Xiaobao were at home, and they had to take care of the day's eating and drinking, and Lizheng's daughter-in-law simply let Cai's stay, Cai's looked at the sleepy Chungui, his nose was slightly sour, and he nodded in response.

The two wrapped Chungui Tuantuan, pressed two more mattresses under them, and only after confirming that they couldn't freeze did Li Zhicun wave the whip.

The donkey cart went all the way to the end of the mountain road, and Cai's only felt that the world was unpredictable, and yesterday the group was happy to earn a good sum of money, but today it has become like this.

When it was just dawn, the road was released, but fortunately, Li Zhicun often walked in the town, and the storefront of the pharmacy was also familiar, so he didn't delay for a moment.

Fu Qing opens the shop as he likes every day, and opens early when he is happy, and does not open the door all day when he is unhappy. The reason for opening the door this morning was that he heard that a girl came to the street yesterday to sell new things, and those scholars and sons ate and talked for a long time, so greedy that he wanted to come out this morning to find it. As soon as the door opened, a donkey cart stopped at the door, and there was a tightly wrapped person lying on the cart, and at first glance he couldn't see his face.

Looking at the two people who sent the person over, their faces were very anxious, and they thought that the person was very sick.

The heart of the doctor's parents, Fu Qing, who is also a doctor and a pharmacy, frowned at a glance.

Without waiting for Lizheng's daughter-in-law to exit, Fu Qing said, "Hurry up and send someone in." ”

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law nodded hurriedly, at this time, she couldn't take care of the big defense of men and women, anyway, across the bed quilt, Li Zheng's daughter-in-law and Li Zhicun held Chungui half in their arms, and followed Fu Qing's steps to the inner room.

Fu Qing closed the door and opened half a window to ventilate the door and asked, "What's going on?" ”

As he spoke, he lifted the quilt halfway, and Chungui's reddened face was revealed.

Fu Qing was stunned: "This girl ........"

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law didn't have time to pay attention to his expression, so she only told the story of Chungui's cold wind blowing and suffering from the board and fever.

Although Fu Qing is a doctor, he also runs a shop to do business, he is very familiar with Chungui's face, listening to her say this, he took advantage of the time to think about it, and finally remembered that this is the girl who has a family of younger siblings, and has bought a lot of ginger in his shop in the past few months.

Lizheng's daughter-in-law took out all the money she brought out and put it on the table: "Shopkeeper Fu, this girl has seen a doctor, but this night has been high again, I am really worried, thinking that you have excellent medical skills, so I will send someone to you here." ”

She looked embarrassed: "I don't know how you collect the money here, you can only manage it, if it's not enough, I'll go back and get it!" ”

Fu Qing knew the population of the Chungui family, and the aunt in front of him was not the elder of the family, but he was sincere at the moment, and he couldn't help but be moved in his heart, leaning over to explore the heat of Chungui, and then got up and opened a window.

"Auntie, you don't have to worry, this girl is my old customer, and she can speak a few words on weekdays, and she is also an old acquaintance."

As soon as these words fell, Lizheng's daughter-in-law was overjoyed, and thanked her repeatedly.

Fu Qing continued: "You said that she had a wound on her body, presumably there was blood in her body, in this way, my wife also studied medicine, and she will apply needles and stasis on my behalf for a while, and then I will prescribe another pair of herbs and decoction here." ”

Hearing him say this, Li Zheng's daughter-in-law's heart was finally able to fall after mentioning it all night, and seeing that Li Zhicun was still here, she pulled someone over and instructed: "Wait for the county school to release the list later, you can directly call Zhixing and Qi You here, don't let them know before you come, otherwise Zhixing's temperament will not be able to keep it all and run back and beat Liu Gui up." "Qi You, this kid has a heavy mind, and it is more difficult to see through than Zhixing, in short, call people here first, and when Chun returns to wake up, he can cure them.

She said seriously, and Li Zhicun nodded very solemnly.

The two then went out of the room, Fu Qing first grabbed the herbs and asked the apprentice to cook them, and then called the wife out and entered the inner room together, one sat behind the screen, and the other applied needles in front.

After a night, the injury on Chungui's waist was not only not good, but also much more serious, and when she lifted her clothes, she saw that there were bruises and bruises inside, which frightened Mrs. Fu: "What a sin!" Beat a little girl like this?! ”

Fu Qing sighed in front of him: "This is the little girl I told you, with a group of younger brothers and sisters to support the family, I bought a lot of ginger from me before, saying that I went back to set up a sugar water shop, I think life is better, yesterday I was targeted by a relative to grab the land." ”

"This girl sued the ancestral hall and was beaten ten boards."

The more Mrs. Fu listened, the worse her face became, her two children were gentle and loving on weekdays, but she didn't expect such a dirty thing to happen in the small mountain village below.

Looking at the sleeping Chun Gui, she lovingly wiped the sweat from her forehead.

The husband and wife worked together in the division of labor, one reporting acupuncture points and one applying acupuncture.

Outside, Li Zhicun had already driven a donkey cart and was waiting in front of the county school early, Rao was so early, and there were also a lot of people waiting.

Qi You and Zhixing were among the best in the first test, and the re-examination did not take long, and the list was released an hour later in the morning.

Li Zhicun was illiterate, and he didn't know what was written on the list, so he just waited on the side.

After a while, Zhixing and Qi You came out of it together, and Zhixing arched Qi You like a wild horse on the loose: "You are the first in the first test, and you are still the first in the second test, I will only be the second in ten thousand years after you!" ”

Qi You only smiled, but he didn't think about it in his heart, only he knew that at this moment, his whole person was overflowing with joy, and the first Xiucai in the retest, he only thought of one person after knowing the result.

As he said on the day he injured his leg, if he passed the Xiucai examination, he would be able to grow a face for that person.

Although Zhixing said so, he was also very happy, fifteen-year-old Xiucai, this head is already as tall as Qi Lao Xiucai!

He sighed, "Hey, I want to go home and eat my sister-in-law's bone soup noodles now!" ”

"Huh? Isn't that Big Brother Li? ”

Zhixing casually swept and met Li Zhicun's eyes, he hurriedly greeted him, Qi You couldn't help but jump when he saw Li Zhicun's expression.

"Brother Li, why are you here?"

Li Zhicun has a simple temperament, and his daughter-in-law is whatever she says, and she doesn't dare to tell these two people about the return of spring in advance.

He only said: "I'll pick you up, hurry up and get in the car!" ”

"Sister-in-law, this is going to spoil us, so you won't let us go, and let Brother Li pick you up." Zhixing said this, jumped into the car, and pulled Qi You by the way.

Li Zhicun couldn't speak, only smiled.

Neither of them was stupid, Zhixing glanced at the thoughtful Qi You, and said in a low voice: "Why don't I feel that something is wrong, Brother Li won't want to sell us, right?" ”

Qi You glanced at him silently, looked at the route ahead, it was really not the way back to Xiaoliangshan, but went to the center of the market.

Yesterday, he said to Chun Gui that he would come back by himself after the release of the list, but at this moment, it was Brother Li waiting for them here, and he was driving a donkey cart to the market center.

The two looked at each other, and a trace of unease welled up in their hearts.

Until the donkey cart stopped at the pharmacy.
