After breakfast the next day, Wang pulled Bai Jiujiu aside and asked Xu Huaiqing's leg, Bai Jiujiu didn't tell the truth, only said that he would definitely find a way.

"Is there enough money?" Wang looked around vaguely, as if he was afraid that the rest of the family would hear.

In the past two days, Xu Huaiqing grabbed the medicine, and the silver flowed out, Bai Jiujiu was indeed a little tight, so he said honestly.

"You take these, you don't need to save them, you can use them however you want."

Bai Jiujiu pinched the money bag and nodded heavily, "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely heal Huaiqing's leg." ”

Wang smiled with relief, but quickly restrained his smile: "Don't say it, I'll go to the field with your sisters-in-law first." ”

Bai Jiujiu looked at the scorching sun overhead, and suddenly remembered that it seemed that it had not rained for a long time, and now every household in the village collectively went out to carry water and water vegetables, and these other fields can still be emergency, but there is no way to do it in the paddy fields, the water consumption is too large, and it is a drop in the bucket to rely on people to carry water, unless it rains in God.

"Okay." Bai Jiujiu watched Wang go out, and looked up at the sky without a trace of clouds, feeling faintly uneasy.

There is only half of the water left in the big tank at home, so Bai Jiujiu wants to pick up some water and come back, and if he doesn't go to the field, he has to do all this work at home. When she arrived at the well in the village, she found that there were many more people than she had imagined. The queue for water is so long that it takes a few turns. Bai Jiujiu didn't want to wait, so he turned back again.

Xu Huaiqing came out of the house, sat under the eaves of the porch, frowned at the sky above his head, and looked at Bai Jiujiu after hearing the creaking sound of the door opening, "Why did you come back empty-handed?" ”

Bai Jiujiu let out a long sigh, "There are too many people, I'll go later." ”

"Oh my ...... day"

After hearing Bai Jiujiu's words, Xu Huaiqing couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows.

"It's been a long time since it's rained, and in half a month, the well in the village will be dry."

"It's not dry, the amount of water will be reduced, it's certain, I'm afraid the crops won't be able to survive."

Now is the time for the seedlings to tassel, a large amount of water needs to be brought into the field, there is no water, this time is missed, this season will be white.

"Don't think about it yet." Bai Jiujiu put the bucket down and walked over, "Let me see your legs." ”

Xu Huaiqing stretched out obediently, and Bai Jiujiu reached out and pressed it, making Xu Huaiqing gasp in pain.

"How does it feel harder? Don't move, I'll take a look. ”

Bai Jiujiu's palm was attached to Xu Huaiqing's calf, and a trace of spiritual power was quietly released. After a while, she withdrew her hand, her face ugly.

Xu Huaiqing was actually poisoned again?!

Previously, she used acupuncture and moxibustion with traditional Chinese medicine, although she couldn't completely force the blood cicada Gu, but she could make the Gu poison fall into a deep sleep. During this time, the toxins in Xu Huaiqing's body have been almost cleaned up, and his legs can return to normal after a period of recuperation.

At this time, who lacked virtue actually poisoned him again. No wonder her medicine was useless, this poison was even more tricky than the last time, and it actually made the Blood Cicada Gu restless again.

Bai Jiujiu looked at Xu Huaiqing's ignorant and unconscious face, and the anger in her heart came up all of a sudden, it was unreasonable to dare to pretend to be a ghost under her nose, she had to find out the person, and then let him taste the pain of not doing well.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that Bai Jiujiu's face suddenly became hideous, Xu Huaiqing raised his eyebrows in confusion.

Bai Jiujiu looked at it and said calmly, "It's okay, I made a mistake, the dose of this medicine has to be increased." ”

After finishing speaking, she pretended that nothing had happened, and rewrote Zhang Fangzi and took it to the hospital.

When they got home, the Wang family also came back, and the Li family was cooking, and when they turned around, they saw Bai Jiujiu standing behind them, and they were startled.

"Third brother and sister, what's the matter?"

Bai Jiujiu moved her gaze from the dishes in the pot to her face, and the corners of her mouth raised an arc that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"It's fine."

"You go out, I'll be enough for me here."

Li Shi pushed Bai Jiujiu out as he spoke, but the stove room was a little small, and the two of them couldn't turn away.

Bai Jiujiu nodded, turned around and went out, Li was unclear before, but it has changed a lot, it shouldn't be her.

In the hall, Wang was talking to Old Man Xu.

"Old man, the ditch in the east has been cut off today, what can we do with our land?"

As long as he thought of his own field, Wang was a little worried. The weather has been hot for the past few days, and the moisture in the air has evaporated, not to mention the crops in the field.

"Isn't there still water in Beigou?"

Wang shook his head, "The upper reaches of Beigou have been blocked, and the water has been led to the rice fields, and there is no water downstream." ”

Old Man Xu was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then took a hard puff of dry tobacco. The atmosphere in the room was a little dull, Wang looked up and saw Bai Jiujiu, and then thought of Xu Huaiqing, and sighed silently.

"Daddy, I went to the town today and saw that many people were already hoarding food, should we save some too?"

The population of the Xu family is neither more nor less, but there is no labor, they are all women, children and the elderly, so it is better to prepare early. Bai Jiujiu thought of seeing a group of people queuing up in front of the grain store when he went out today, and couldn't help but remind.

Wang raised his eyes in surprise, "Really? ”

"Really, there should be no harvest this season, everyone lives on old rice, and now it's May, it's already green, and it's estimated that Chen rice won't be able to support it for long, and once the food at home is finished, I'm afraid the grain store will sit on the ground and start the price."

"Yes, that's right, let's go buy some too."

Bai Jiujiu's words made Wang also nervous, and he made a decision on the spot.

In the afternoon, Mr. Xu went to the town, rented an ox cart and pulled two bags of rice back, the Wang family was still too little, and was glared at by Mr. Xu angrily, "It's still robbed, you know how much money it spent, five taels of silver." ”

Wang gasped, five taels of silver, just these two bags of rice, why didn't they grab it.

"These days, it's hard to make money, but it's not hard to spend it at all." Wang pursed her lips stupidly, she was still distressed about the five taels of silver.

Liu also followed beside him, "In fact, it may not be so serious, the people in the town love to coax, maybe it will rain in a few days, then the money we spent will be too wrong." ”

Wang was also a little hesitant, she didn't want to spend so much money to buy rice, the price was too much of a loss. Fortunately, the Xu family had hoarded a lot of food before, and if nothing else, it would not be a problem for another month or two, but there was no need to worry too much.

There are many people in the village who are reluctant to give up the silver, but most of those who go to the town to ask about the price of grain and rice return empty-handed, some of them cannot afford it, and some of them are lucky.

Bai Jiujiu sighed secretly, I hope it's just that she thinks too much, otherwise it will be troublesome.
