Chapter Seventy-Two: Unintentional Move
"Yunliu, I'll say so much in one breath, why don't you give a bite of face!" Perhaps because he was hungry, this roasted hare without any seasoning also made Tang Mian feel like he was eating high-end ingredients.
She loves to share with others, especially this kind of delicious food.
Du Yunze turned his head and said that he didn't want to eat.
Tang Mian seized the opportunity, jumped on his back, and stuffed the rabbit leg into his mouth.
The two of them were so close that they couldn't tell whose heartbeat or breathing it was.
Puff ...... Puff ......
Feeling the sound of his heartbeat that was gradually chaotic, Tang Mian hurriedly turned his head.
"I don't care, your mouth has touched the rabbit leg, and you are not allowed to return it to me. Eat! ”
She shut her mouth when she said that.
Du Yunze took the rabbit leg and brought it to his mouth, stared at the rabbit leg for a long time, and finally took a bite.
The burnt smell rushed into the mouth, and there was a faint fishy smell, which was indeed not so delicious, but the taste was barely acceptable.
When he had eaten almost and was about to show Tang Mian the bones in his hand, she was already asleep.
When Du Yunze got closer, he saw her curled up, covering her abdomen with one hand, obviously still uncomfortable, he covered it with both hands, and gathered the internal force into the palm of his hand.
Tang Mian, who was asleep, felt that his stomach gradually became less painful, and his brows finally relaxed.
Chirp......
Early in the morning, I heard the birds in the trees making a lot of noise.
Tang Mian opened his eyes slightly, he didn't see Yunliu, his heart tightened suddenly, and when he was about to get up, Du Yunze came back with water.
"Owner, I have already explored the road, as long as we keep walking towards the official road, it is estimated that we will be able to arrive in Chuancheng County in two days, and then you can find a home inn to rest well, it is all my fault, if it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have run away......" Du Yunze was self-examining the whole time, he vowed to protect Tang Mian for a lifetime, but she suffered so much yesterday.
Looking at the clothes hanging on Yunliu's body, barely enough to cover his body, Tang Mian hurriedly shook his head, if she hadn't dragged Yunliu down, with his kung fu, he would have left this forest a long time ago, and he wouldn't have to suffer so much.
Tang Mian now understands that silver is nothing in the face of such a natural disaster.
Thanks to the hundreds of taels of silver tickets in her arms at any time, it is not useless in this wilderness.
Two days later, in the evening, they finally entered the city just in time for the lockdown.
I searched for several inns in succession, but no one was willing to take them in.
Finally they came to the door of a small inn.
After knocking on the door for half a day, a middle-aged man came, and after knowing that they were willing to pay a high price to stay in the hotel, he had no choice but to take a breath.
If only they had come a few days earlier, then his apricot wouldn't have to-
"Girl, young man, don't hide it, the little girl has been infected with the epidemic, if you are not afraid of being infected, come in!" The innkeeper said that he didn't want their money, and that they could stay as long as they liked.
Anyway, his apricot doesn't live for a few days, and if she goes, he doesn't want to live.
He just wanted to be able to do someone a favor before he died.
Later, Tang Mian changed his clothes, and not long after he lay down, he heard the sound of the shopkeeper crying bitterly.
"Girl, it's all my father's uselessness, I can't afford pills to save you, it's all my fault......"
Tang Mian lived on the second floor, and when he saw the shopkeeper downstairs holding his sick girl, he was talking about pills with his mouth open.
Only then did she remember that there was still a bottle of pills given by Boss Hu in her baggage, and she hurriedly went downstairs after taking it out.
The innkeeper was crying sadly, and after suddenly seeing the word "white" on the medicine bottle, he hurriedly knelt down for Tang Mian: "Girl! Where did you get this pill from? Thank you, you are really a great benefactor of our father and daughter, I am willing to exchange the inn for a pill for you! Please save my apricots! ”
What's the situation?
Why does the innkeeper say that?
Without thinking too much, Tang Mian hurriedly gave him a pill.
After the innkeeper got it, he didn't think much about it and hurriedly fed her daughter.
In less than half a pillar of incense, there was a little more blood on her face.
"Doctor, has the epidemic on my apricot really been lifted?" The innkeeper asked, his eyes more incredulous.
"Congratulations Brother Fang, Xing'er is really fine......"
Tang Mian saw that the innkeeper had sent the doctor away, and hurriedly rushed downstairs to inquire about the shopkeeper's pills.
"Miss Tang is like this, about half a month after the outbreak of the epidemic, there was a man in white selling pills on the street, at first everyone only thought he was one of those Jianghu doctors who cheated money, no one went to buy it, I didn't want the county lord to suddenly fall ill that day......
When he saw that Tang Mian dared to be interested, he told her in detail about the experience.
It turned out that he saved the county magistrate of Chuancheng County by chance that day, and later the matter spread, and everyone knew that the medicine he sold could cure the epidemic, and rushed to buy out his medicine.
It's a pity that he came less and less often after that.
In the end, he only brought ten bottles of pills, and after selling them at a high price, he never appeared again.
The person who still had pills at home before saw that this was an opportunity to make a lot of money, and sold them to those who needed them at a sky-high price of 1,000 taels of silver and a pill.
I think he worked hard for half his life, and only opened such an inn the year before the big year.
He tried his best to raise money to buy medicine, but he didn't want the other party to raise the medicine to 5,000 taels of silver a pill.
He didn't have enough money, so he offered to mortgage the inn, but the other party refused to ...... Just when he was extremely desperate, Tang Mian appeared with a pill.
Saying this, he got up and knelt down for Tang Mian.
"Boss, what are you doing! Hurry up! ”
The innkeeper shook his head and hurriedly took out the inn's house deed from his bosom and presented it.
"Miss Tang, thank you for your rescue, my apricot can live, you can take it, if it's not enough, I will give it to you in installments."
The innkeeper's wife went early, and he has been a father and a mother for so many years, and only he knows the hardships of each.
He was glad that he let Tang Mian and them come to the inn to spend the night yesterday, otherwise his daughter would-
"Boss, the medicine was sent by my friend, and he said it was worthless, so don't kneel!" Tang Mian opened his mouth to tell the truth.
But Boss Ma sounds like a pretext.
He saw that Tang Mian refused to accept the deed of the inn, so he had to kneel all the time.
Du Yunze couldn't hold back after watching the play for a long time, and persuaded him: "Boss Ma, if you really want to repay my host, find two sets of clothes for my host, and can you lend us the carriage in your backyard for two days." ”
When Boss Ma heard this, he remembered that there were still many girls' clothes in the backyard, so he hurriedly went to get them for Tang Mian.
Before leaving, Tang Mian also left five pills for Boss Ma's father and daughter, and then followed Du Yunze into the carriage out of the city.
"Stop! What are you going to do here? The soldiers defending the city asked.
Du Yunze handed them the customs clearance documents unhurriedly, and stuffed some silver coins over, "Official, my host and I set off from Huaning County a month ago, planning to visit our sick grandmother in the imperial city, and I don't want the world to move a few days ago, so I can only rest in Chuancheng County for one night, and I will bother the two of you to let us go." ”
The two of them took the money, and one of them weighed the amount and received it in his bosom with great satisfaction.
"Hmph...... Little brother looks at you and reminds you that most of the official roads to the imperial city have been destroyed, if you go to the imperial city, you will take the small road......"
After a while, the two came to a fork in the road.
Du Yunze looked at the map for a long time, but still couldn't determine the specific location of Phoenix Village.
I can't help but be a little worried.
According to Tang Mian's analysis, the pill was made in Baiyi from Fenghuang Village, and he must know the prescription, so he must find him as soon as possible and take him back, so that the epidemic can be eradicated.
If they go the wrong way, they will probably miss two or three days.
Some people can't wait that long.
