Xia He had a place to stay, and while he was happy, he thought that there was no grain at home to satisfy his hunger, so he hurriedly went up the mountain and dug a large bundle of ground keels.

I went home to clean up the mud, ate some wild fruits, braved the midday sun, carried the medicinal herbs, and walked along the road at the foot of the mountain to the town.

Anyway, Xia He still has to go to the town to try his luck, sell it better, and get some food.

Because it was noon, I didn't see a few pedestrians along the way.

Occasionally, someone passing by would stop, look at this big-bellied woman carefully, and shake her head from time to time, muttering: "Whose woman is so hard?" All the men in her family are dead, so let a woman show up and do such a tiring job! ”

Xia He ignored the discussions of the people around him, and walked forward with his head bowed and struggled.

Liujiazhuang was about four or five miles away from the town, and Xia He was exhausted and out of breath when he was only halfway there.

She was to get home before the sun set in the west.

was walking forward with his head down, and someone behind him shouted: "Sister-in-law Xia He, I'll help you get it." ”

With the shout, the person hurriedly walked to Xia He's side, grabbed the medicinal herbs on Xia He's shoulders with both hands, and easily put them on his shoulders.

Xia He looked up at the person who came, searching for the memory of the original owner, wasn't this Liu Feng Gongzi who saved him that day?

Hurriedly stepped forward to give a deep salute, and said with a red face: "Thank you Liu Gongzi for your rescue!" ”

Liu Feng carried the medicinal herbs, hurriedly freed up one hand, wanted to support Xia He, hesitated for a moment, retracted his hand again, and said, "Why worry about it?" Hurry up, please! ”

Xia He raised his head and looked at this tall boy with black and red face and grace in ancient times, and felt a sense of intimacy.

He does not have the arrogance of the two sons of the Liu family, but he has a kind of majestic and righteous face.

"My sister-in-law is not at home, why are you going to the town?" Liu Feng asked Xia He as he walked.

Xia He trotted closely behind, panting and said, "I moved out of Liu's house to live. ”

Liu Feng saw that Xia He couldn't keep up with his pace, so he slowed down and turned around and asked, "Why did you move away from the Liu family?" So what do you do alone? Is there a place to stay? ”

Xia He briefly described what happened to him in Liu's house, of course, the part of Xia He where Liu Li bullied him was just a flash, Xia He wanted to say it and be ashamed?

The angry Liu Feng gritted his teeth and scolded loudly: "The Liu family is too human!" Don't look at anything else, but also look at the love of the dead Brother Shunzi, you can't treat people like this? What's more, Brother Shunzi also left his own flesh and blood and is about to come to the world! ”

The more he talked, the more angry he became, so he simply stopped and said to Xia He: "Let's go, I'll go to the Liu family with you to comment, I want the people in the whole village to know how their Liu family treats an unarmed woman!" ”

After speaking, Liu Feng turned around and pulled Xia He to return to the village.

"Young Master Liu! It doesn't have to be this way! You don't know what kind of family his Liu family is! It's useless, since I, Xia He, have walked out of Liu's house, I haven't thought about going back! Xia He hurriedly grabbed Liu Feng and said.

Liu Feng was silent, paused slightly, and said to Xia He worriedly: "Then what are you going to do in the future?" Where does a person live? ”

"I have found a place to live, I live in a thatched hut at the foot of the back mountain, I have already packed up, no, dig some medicinal herbs in the mountains, go to the town to exchange some silver, buy some rice and salt, I believe that I will live well with my own hands, the Liu family has given me too much pain, I Xia He will never go back!" Speaking of excitement, Xia He's face flushed.

Liu Feng looked sideways at this usually submissive Liu family girl, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: "How can this Xia He's sister-in-law listen to her words and demeanor, as if she has changed into a different person?" A woman who usually bows her head and is silent when she looks at people, and when she walks and sees people coming, she will bypass pedestrians, and suddenly speaks so weightily? Is it that Brother Junko's loss hits her too hard? Or are the people who can't speak bullied by the Liu family holding back their indignation? ”

Liu Feng couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, feeling a little more pity for this Xia He's sister-in-law.

Xia He was silent for a while and asked, "Young Master Liu, are you also going to the town?" ”

"Go to town and buy some hunting tools."

The two of them walked fast, and they arrived in Liujia Town after a while.

Xia He looked at the few pedestrians in the town and said to Liu Feng, "Why are there so few people in the town?" ”

Liu Feng looked at Xia He and said, "Sister-in-law, you forgot, this is a five-day set, and today is not the day to catch the market, so there are very few people who buy and sell things, and you don't come out and haven't heard Brother Shunzi say it?" ”

Xia He really forgot this, so he said with a smile: "I haven't forgotten, I am tired of walking, tired and confused!" ”

"But sister-in-law, I heard that this keel was collected by a Chinese medicine shop before, but now I don't know if I can still ask for it, let's go, I'll accompany you to have a look." Saying that, Liu Feng led Xia He to a relatively large pharmacy.

Xia He followed closely behind, thinking, "Thanks to meeting Liu Gongzi today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get here now." ”

When I came to the pharmacy one after the other, the guy saw the person who came and hurriedly greeted: "Are you two going to see the disease or grab the medicine?" Please come here and have some tea first. ”

Putting down the medicinal herbs, Liu Feng said to the guy, "May I ask if you accept this medicinal herb here?" This one was fresh, freshly dug up from the mountains, and removed from the dirt. ”

The man didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly invited the shopkeeper out of the backyard.

The old man wearing a long shirt, holding his hair, looked at the two and hurriedly greeted: "Hard work, come on, have a cup of tea." ”

Xia He was in the mood to drink tea, and thought: "There are so many people in this era, hurry up and say if you want it, how much money is over a catty!" I didn't feel that my face was burning.

Liu Feng hurriedly agreed to sit at the tea table with the old man, and Xia He paced back and forth in the pharmacy, looking at the name of Chinese medicine written on each drawer, secretly facing modern words.

Liu Feng took a sip of tea and asked, "May I ask the shopkeeper, do you accept this medicinal material?" ”

The old man twisted his gray beard and pondered for a moment, then asked, "How many do you have?" ”

Xia He paced left and right, but his ears listened to the conversation between the two, and when he heard the shopkeeper ask how much Liu Feng had, he couldn't help but be stunned, and quickly walked to the table and sat down and said, "How much do you want?" What is the price? ”

Xia He studied economics in his previous life, and it was a piece of cake for arithmetic.

Liu Feng saw Xia He's eager appearance and hurriedly said, "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, let's talk slowly!" ”

Xia He thought to himself: "Can you not be in a hurry?" There is no rice in the pot at home! ”

The old shopkeeper stood up unhurriedly, walked to the medicinal herbs and squatted down, took out one, broke it open and looked at it and said: "You haven't dried it, you have to buy it at the wet price, five cents per catty, and if it is sun-dried, it will be ten cents." ”

Xia He was secretly happy, it means that someone has asked for this medicinal material, and it is so expensive, so there is no problem to buy and eat now.
