Cao Xiao, who had just gotten up, saw the child next to him appear in front of his bed, and Cao Xiao was startled when he saw the child's glance. After Cao Xiao got up, the child said, "Brother Cao, the owner asked you to go down to eat." ”

Cao Xiao glanced at the sunlight outside at the moment, which was very soft, rubbed his eyes and said, "What time is it?" ”

The child said, "It's almost seven o'clock?" ”

Cao Xiao couldn't help but glance at the watch in his hand, although Cao Xiao said that the watch had never seen it, because the watch was rarely used as an ornament to see the time. The child said, "The store manager asked me not to disturb you too much, and let you leave when I wake you up." ”

Cao Xiao looked at the children who left and said, "Wait? ”

The child stopped and turned his head to look at Cao Xiao. Cao Xiao asked embarrassedly: "I've been seeing you for so long, and I still don't know what it's called?"

"Chi Za Brand, you can call me Xiao Chi the same way they call me."

"Xiao Chi, I'll clean up and go down."

Cao Xiao agreed to Xiao Qi's words, but he was still relatively slow to clean up, no matter how Cao Xiao said it, he was also the son of a big family, even when he was experiencing it outside, he didn't get up so early. When Cao Xiao packed everything and was ready to go downstairs, his face was still sleepy. But a faint smell suddenly diverted Cao Xiao's attention.

After Cao Xiao went downstairs, he looked at Dr. Li, who was already tinkering with herbs in the herbal medicine room at the moment, and said, "What are you doing?" ”

Doctor Li looked up at Cao Xiao, and immediately picked up all the things in his hand and said, "I want you to take care of it, hurry up and eat your food, what are you going to do?" ”

Cao Xiao was about to turn around and leave, but when he found that blood was splattered around the place where Dr. Li had just operated, Cao Xiao didn't think much about it, after all, there are indeed small animals that need to be used in many traditional Chinese medicines. Just when Cao Xiao was sitting at the dinner table, Dr. Li, who was originally operating, no longer sorted out the medicinal materials, but said loudly to Cao Xiao who had just sat down: "Wait a minute, these meals are not free, at least a meal... Five pieces. ”

Cao Xiaocai didn't care about these five pieces, but asked about Xiao Chi's whereabouts and said, "By the way, do you know where Xiao Chi went?" ”

"Little Worm?"

Soon Dr. Li said, "You are embarrassed to say, when is this, if these poor children don't eat and work, they can only drink the northwest wind." ”

Cao Xiao was still quite moved when he heard this, after all, he saw that Xiao Chi was only a ten-year-old child, and he had to get up to work before seven o'clock.

Speaking of this, Dr. Li said, "You know, the standard of living here is like this, not everyone can rely on their families to survive. ”

After Doctor Li said this, he said to Cao Xiao, "Remember to brush the dishes when eating." ”

"I'm not going to give you five dollars, why do you want me to wash the dishes?"

Doctor Li thought of this and whispered to himself that it seemed to be the case, but soon said to Cao Xiao in front of him: "If we eat together, I can naturally wash the dishes, who told you to get up so late, I have already finished eating?" ”

Cao Xiao had never brushed the bowl before, but by the time Cao had cleaned it, Dr. Li had been lying in a rocking chair for a hundred years, drinking and humming a little song. Cao Xiao shook his head and ignored the fact that he was about to go out, but Doctor Li, who was lying on the chair, said, "Why do you want to go out?" ”

"I'm going outside to see when the little worm will come back?"

Doctor Li still smiled and said with a mocking tone in his tone: "Let's not say that you are familiar with the environment here, there are almost mountains outside, where do you think you are going to find Xiaoyi, but I want a child to be anxious about you." ”

After listening to Dr. Li's words, Cao Wei felt that what he said was quite interesting, but he really couldn't stay in this medical hall, because there was no normal taste here except for the strong smell of medicine, that is, the smell of alcohol.

"You better rest in the medical hall, after all, my medicinal materials are very valuable and can't withstand your tossing."

Cao Xiao had no choice but to go back to his room and continue to rest. Cao Xiao felt that he had nothing to do for the first time, and thought of the scene when he met Wen Shitian at the beginning, Wen Shitian didn't know his purpose at that time, and he had the intention to get close to Wen Shitian, so Wen Shitian quickly regarded him as a good friend.

Recalling such a scene, Cao Xiao immediately admonished himself and said: "You saved him, you already don't owe each other, and you won't see each other again." ”

After Cao Xiao ate lunch, he watched the time pass little by little until the moon appeared in mid-air, Cao Xiao became nervous, looked at Doctor Li, who was already drunk, and said, "When is this, why hasn't Xiao Chi come back yet, will something happen to Xiao Chi?" ”

When Cao Xiao was so angry that he was about to go out to look for it, the door outside the courtyard opened, and Xiao Chi's thin body came from outside with a basket that did not match him. Xiao Chi walked in, Cao Xiao looked at Xiao Chi's face full of mud, and suddenly thought that when he was young, he went out to play with Chang Yaqing and the two of them, and went back to be scolded for being scolded, but now Xiao Chi who is standing in front of him is because he has been working outside for a day, Cao Xiao fussed and said, "Why did you come back so late?" ”

Xiao Chi still didn't understand what he said, and said to Cao Xiao in front of him: "Brother Xiao Cao, I have come back very early now. ”

Doctor Li in the room looked at the two people standing in the courtyard and said, "Why are you going to let me go out and count the medicinal herbs?" ”

Cao Xiao realized that it was himself, Xiao Chi blocked the door, and immediately took Xiao Chi into the house, and looked at Xiao Chi's very skillful big bamboo basket on the ground, and asked the latter to classify the medicinal materials one by one, and said all their names and prices, and then said to Doctor Li: "Doctor Li, take an inventory." ”

Physician Li picked out half of these medicinal materials and said, "These are all unqualified medicinal materials, you can see that this medicinal herb is so old." ”

After speaking, Dr. Li took out a piece of five from his cash cabinet and said, "Give?" ”

When he saw Doctor Li take out a piece of five, Cao Xiao was stunned, but these medicinal materials were not understood, but they were not the price of cabbage, not to mention that this was cheaper than the price of cabbage.

However, Xiao Chi was very happy to put this piece of five carefully into his pocket, and then said to Doctor Li a little embarrassed: "Actually, I found another herb on the mountain today, can Doctor Li give me a little more money?" ”
