Chapter 439: Black-Hearted Money
Liu Si said that the earthwork is picked from the mountains of herbs mashed and then boiled into traditional Chinese medicine, can have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, last time Liu Si also used the old people in the village to say, he also often prepared some herbs at home to dry, just in case it can be used, now I really encounter this kind of opportunity.
"This is the only herb left, but it has to be mashed and then added with a new herb." Liu Si explained clearly, holding a small jar in his hand, which contained the remaining herbs.
Rong Yan didn't seem to be simple when he heard his tone, and asked worriedly, "Then what is this medicine primer?" ”
Liu Si's eyes deepened and he looked up at Rong Yan, "You need the serum of the poisonous snake as a medicine to be boiled together with the herbs." ”
Liu Si said, the other people in the room were silent, where to go to find a poisonous snake in the middle of the night, and this poisonous snake is not something that can be caught, this barren mountain is not only poisonous snakes but also other fierce beasts, it is difficult to get out if you are not careful.
Rong Yan turned his head to look at Rong Rong's painful expression lying on the bed, and his heart was crossed, "Leave this to me, Brother Liu, I'll leave the matter of smashing herbs to you." ”
Saying that, Rong Yan took Yueqing out to the back mountain to catch poisonous snakes, Liu Si was not ambiguous, and after seeing that they all went out, he also began to mash herbs and boil other flavored ingredients of medicine.
Rong Yan and Yueqing, who left, came to the back mountain together, and at night, some dangerous animals began to move, and Yueqing opened the road in front of him in order to ensure Rong Yan's safety.
Along the way, there were not only wolves but also wild beasts, and in order not to avoid fighting, the two tried to avoid these beasts and continued to look for the traces of poisonous snakes.
"Yueqing, do you see if there is a trace of a snake over there?" Taking advantage of the moonlight, Rong Yan carefully observed the movements around him, and suddenly saw a series of crawling traces in front of him.
Yueqing stepped forward to investigate, he had encountered a snake before, and after taking a closer look, he nodded affirmatively, "Lord, it is the trace of the snake, it should be in front of you." ”
Rong Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, and finally saw hope, so he followed Yueqing forward and continued to follow the snake's trail to a field, and finally found a rattlesnake behind a big rock!
Yueqing and Rong Yan glanced at each other, Rong Yan signaled the two to attack back and forth, Yueqing understood in seconds, and then the two tacitly cooperated with the net pocket they brought to finally catch this poisonous snake.
Rong Yan's hanging heart finally relaxed, "Without further ado, let's hurry up and go back." ”
Yue Qing also knew the seriousness of the matter, and quickly caught the poisonous snake and followed Rong Yan back to the hut quickly.
After getting the snake, Yueqing went outside to deal with it and got the serum and handed it to Liu Si to boil, everything was ready, just waiting for the Chinese medicine to boil out.
Hearing the news, Zhao Yunling, who was sitting outside, couldn't sit still more and more, and Rong Yan couldn't bear to detain her like this, so he asked her to go to the kitchen to look at the boiling Chinese medicine.
This Chinese medicine was boiled for about an hour, Liu Si calculated the time and stopped the fire in time, and successfully delivered the Chinese medicine to Rong Rong's mouth, even if Rong Rong couldn't drink it, he had to pour it in, and finally the three of them worked together to pour all the medicine into Rong Rong's mouth.
"Brother Liu, how long will it take for Rong'er to wake up?" Zhao Yunling's voice trembled a little, and his hand held Rong Rong tightly.
Liu Si put down the medicine bowl and explained with some hesitation, "I can't say for sure, it still varies from person to person, but I believe that the little girl should wake up soon, don't worry too much." ”
With Liu Si's words, Zhao Yunling probably had a bottom in his heart, so several people stayed around the bed for two hours, and finally Rong Rong slowly opened her eyes, and her body was no longer hot.
"Mother's ......" Rong Rong's glutinous voice sounded, Zhao Yunling's eyes widened in surprise, her eyes glowed at Rong Rong, and her hand was tightly held in her hand.
"Rong'er, you finally woke up, scared your mother to death." Zhao Yunling said with a crying voice, the heart that had been hanging was completely let go this time, and Rong Yan also showed a happy expression, and at the same time turned his head to look at Liu Si.
"Brother Liu, thank you for saving your life, if it weren't for your earthwork, I'm afraid Rong'er's life and death would be unpredictable." After that, Rong Yan bent down and gave Liu Si a big salute, which was already a very high-level salute.
Liu Si frowned slightly, and hurriedly bent down to help Rong Yan up, "Don't, you are my life-saving grace, one life for another, we are also a draw, okay, since people are fine, you can also relax." With that, he brought them the tea he had made in advance.
"It's not a good tea, but it's all I usually pick in the mountains, and it's still fresh." Liu Si was really honest and said honestly.
After settling Rong Rong, in order not to disturb her rest, everyone came to the living room to sit in an interesting way.
Rong Yan suddenly remembered that he had asked about the doctor before, and Liu Si didn't seem to have finished speaking.
"By the way, Brother Liu, why did you say that doctors didn't want to come here? Did the villagers just ignore the illness when they got sick? Rong Yan asked quietly, he was quite curious about this.
Liu Si smiled self-deprecatingly, put down the teacup, and said lightly, "Actually, it's complicated and simple, in the final analysis, this is just a cage for the struggle of the low-level people, if you can't hold on, there is no other way, I think you have also seen that there are many human traffickers here, I am one of the victims, and you know what happened next." ”
Whenever he talked about what happened to him, there was an optimistic spirit in his sad bones, which made Rong Yan deeply shocked, and he was also impressed by Liu Si.
Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan listened to Liu Si talk a lot about this place, and the two of them also roughly understood the situation here.
"Okay, it's getting late, you guys should rest quickly, and I'll take you to find the money bank tomorrow morning." Liu Si said, got up and beckoned them to go back to their rooms to rest, and they had to hurry tomorrow.
Everyone else was also sleepy, as soon as they lay down, everyone fell asleep deeply, and when they woke up the next day, Rong Rong's illness was almost better, as long as they had a good rest, they could be completely healed.
Picking up the luggage, Liu Si took them all the way out of Yuntai Village, they drove the carriage, and Liu Si also drove the ox cart borrowed from the villagers on the road.
After walking for nearly half the morning, he finally saw a crowded place, Liu Si turned his head to look at them and explained, "This is the direction of Butterfly Valley, and there is Qian Zhuang in front." ”
Seeing Qian Zhuang, who had been looking forward to it for so long, the people in the carriage couldn't help but get excited.
When everyone got out of the car at the place, Liu Si looked at them, "This is the nearest money bank nearby, you can go in and change money." ”
"Brother Liu, thank you so much for leading the way for us." Rong Yan once again expressed his gratitude, Liu Si helped them a lot along the way, and he was indeed a good person.
They are really lucky to meet such people in a foreign country.
Liu Si waved his hand embarrassedly, and said with a smile, "Don't thank me, you saved me first, I should thank you, go and change money, I'll wait for you outside." ”
Zhao Yunling nodded, and followed Rong Yan into the Qian Village, while Cuizhu took care of Rong Rong and did not get out of the carriage, lest Rong Rong catch a cold again.
knocked on the door of Qianzhuang, Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling were very puzzled, why was the door closed in broad daylight?
It took a while to hear movement inside, "Who is it?" ”
The man's voice was impatient, and he opened the curtain and poked his head out of the door frame, "Who are you?" ”
Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling glanced at each other for some reason, and looked up at the plaque again, it is indeed Qianzhuang, yes, why does this shopkeeper ask so much?
"Shopkeeper, aren't you a money bank here? Naturally, we come to the money bank to exchange currency, so don't we do it here? Rong Yan asked suspiciously.
After Rong Yan finished speaking, the middle-aged man suddenly realized, patted his head and laughed, "Look at my brain, I almost forgot about it......"
seemed to notice the strangeness of Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling's eyes, and the shopkeeper explained with a flattering smile, "Don't be too strange, we are indeed a place where no one can come to Qianzhuang, almost no one comes to me, and I only open it once in half a year, listening to your accent, it shouldn't be a local, right?" ”
The shopkeeper's eyes were very fine, and when he looked at the two of them, their attitudes were diametrically opposite to before.
Rong Yan is used to seeing this kind of person, and after listening to his explanation and combining it with his previous experience, he is indeed reasonable.
"I see, we are indeed not locals, so come to you to exchange a little local currency, this is our silver ticket there, you can take a look." Rong Yan said indifferently, and he didn't want to have anything to do with this shopkeeper, so he went straight to the topic and took out the silver ticket they brought.
The amount of money is not small, although some were lost on the way, but it is enough for the five of them to gain a foothold here.
The shopkeeper was slightly stunned when he saw the silver tickets, and then his eyes lit up, and he took all the silver tickets and checked them carefully.
But the shopkeeper was a shrewd man, cunning and tight, and he said, "You silver tickets will not work with us at all, so why don't you do this, I will collect all your silver tickets at a fixed price, how about it?" As he spoke, the shopkeeper gestured with his hand the number eight.
Zhao Yunling's eyes lit up and he replied, "Eight thousand? ”
The shopkeeper shook his head, and then said, "Eight hundred." ”
Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling frowned slightly when they heard this, not to mention the prices here, just their face value was larger than the figure he gave, which was obviously trying to hack their money.
Zhao Yunling said a little impatiently, "Please, big brother, you give too little at this price, our silver tickets are more than this!" ”
The shopkeeper was obviously a little unhappy, and said with a straight face, "Here I have the final say, follow the local customs, if you are not satisfied, you don't need to change it with me, these 800 Lu coins are a lot in the country of Shengma!" ”
