Chapter 19
"I don't know how your father-in-law's family died, it turned out that they were smoked to death by your stinky mouth! Why, your husband's family is dead, as long as you can't look down on it, you will be extinct? Song Ningyi still said lightly, and pushed back in four or two. The other people in the car, Uncle Zhang, the driver of Unicom, couldn't help but sneer. When they first heard that they had taken refuge in murder, they were actually very frightened in their hearts, but when they heard such an explanation, they were all relieved, and the feeling was that Widow Zhang looked at people with good feelings, and it was not pleasing to the eye.
"You ......" Widow Li is the most taboo for someone to talk about this, it was not difficult for her to remarry, but it was because her husband's family was out of business, so no one dared to marry her again.
"What are you, put away your careful thoughts, can my fiancΓ© take a fancy to you like this?" Song Ningyu continued.
"You...... I didn't. "I saw through my thoughts, and I picked out one of them, even if she is usually thick-skinned enough, the current Widow Li can't stand it.
"There is no best! Our two babies are pro, my grandfather set it back then, I haven't been born yet, he has been waiting for me for ten years, he has affection and righteousness for people, even if you think about it, it's useless! Song Ningyi felt that she had to make this person's identity well, otherwise if the rumors continued in the future, maybe it would be bad if the enemy really found it one day.
Unexpectedly, this sentence suddenly broke into Mu Beiyuan's heart.
Thinking of him, the dignified god of war, Mu Wangye, gave up medicine to join the army, rose to general step by step, and commanded the three armies, but once he was plotted to this small village, he met such a kind person when his life was so gloomy.
She is smart and wise, open-minded and casual, even if she is wronged, she doesn't care, but she is not slaughtered by others, and she can scold people without swearing words to lose their minds.
Perhaps, the suffering of more than 12 years is waiting for the arrival of this mountain elf.
Mu Beiyuan looked at Song Ningyi's eyes more and more doted, and the hand on her waist tightened, inexplicably rejoicing in the feeling of being protected.
The people in the car heard that a man was willing to take care of her in order to wait for a girl to grow up for ten years, and he was inexplicably envious of Song Ningyi, and unconsciously compared his father-in-law with him, but he felt that he was abused and incomplete.
There was a rare silence on the way, but fortunately, the town was not far away, and it took about half an hour to reach the town.
The ox cart stopped not far from the town, and Uncle Zhang said,
"We're still gathering here, but it's not too late, we'll have to get back before dark."
Mu Beiyuan helped Song Ningyu out of the car, let go of her waist, looked at the girl in front of him and said, "Let's go." βγ
Song Ningyi's face was a little ugly, she rubbed her temples, stretched, and moved her body for a moment before she slowly spoke, "Well, let's go." β
This is too casual in modern times. But in ancient times, the heroine twisted her waist in public, which was a lascivious performance, comparable to the platform lady on the street, but in Mu Beiyuan's eyes, she felt that this somewhat lazy girl was very cute.
Glaring back at the men who wanted to come and talk, he took his girl by the hand and walked towards the town.
"Do you know a pawnshop?" Song Ningyi has never been to ancient times, but with so many years of experience watching TV, it is right to go to a pawnshop to sell things.
"What are you going to pawn?" Mu Beiyuan frowned, not knowing why.
"Of course I sell ginseng. Why else would we be here? Song Ningyu leaned against Mu Beiyuan's ear and said in a low voice, and the warm breath sprayed on his ear.
Mu Beiyuan: ......
"The hospital can accept these things, little idiot." Mu Beiyuan pretended to look at her with disdain, and led her forward. But she was reluctant to let go of her little hand, which was soft and reluctant.
The two of them walked on the uneven bluestone road, walked through the lively streets and alleys, and found the largest medical center in the town called Jishitang.
Mu Beiyuan lifted the basket on his shoulder, and dragged Song Ningyi's little hand to walk inside.
As soon as you enter the door, you can see that the area of the courtyard is very large, but the huge place looks a little crowded, because there are many people who take medicine to see a doctor, there is a long queue, and there are busy medical hall guys back and forth, and more patients are waiting for treatment, Song Ningyi couldn't help but look around curiously.
The clear-eyed man stepped forward and asked humbly, "Are you going to see a doctor or buy medicine?" But the guy turned his head to look at Song Ningyu, but there was a look of disdain in his eyes.
Mu Beiyuan looks like a person who has the aura of the protagonist, even if he wears beggar clothes, he can lead the trend, and the temperament exuded in his bones is extraordinary, which can be clearly distinguished from the attitude of the two of them.
Song Ningyu was not annoyed, she still looked at the guy with a smile, and Mu Beiyuan pulled her girl behind her with some unhappiness, and said in a cold tone,
"Call your shopkeepers out."
already possessed the momentum of the superior, coupled with the cold aura, it suddenly shocked the guy, the guy was stunned, relieved, looked at the back basket behind the man and said with a smile, "Do you want to sell medicinal herbs?" β
Mu Beiyuan was a head taller than the guy, squinted at the guy, with the expression of looking at an idiot, and did not answer.
The guy is also a person who exists like a human spirit, and then Song Ningyi's attitude became warmer, and he turned around and led the way in front.
Walking through the courtyard to the back hall, a smell of medicine became even stronger, and I walked east along the back hall to the door of a closed room.
"Please save my son...... Life-root...... It's not that I don't save ...... The ginseng is gone...... Blood...... Gone...... Sending out compassion...... I can't help it......" As soon as I approached the door, I heard the conversation of several people coming from the door intermittently, and the heart-rending cry.
Song Ningyu subconsciously glanced at Mu Beiyuan, just in line with his gaze, seeing his silent raised eyebrows, the cunning arc of Song Ningyi's lips.
The man knocked on the door with a calm face, first two small knocks in a row, then a loud knock alone, paused for a while, and knocked three times in this rhythm.
"Squeak-"
As the door opened, an elegant middle-aged man in a green shirt walked out of the door, rubbing his eyebrows a few times with one hand, and there was a little sadness written on his face.
His gaze directly crossed the guy and looked at Mu Beiyuan and Song Ningyu beside him.
The man is extraordinary at a glance, the dragon and the phoenix in the people, even if he is wearing coarse linen clothes, it is difficult to hide his temperament, and the girl with a good face next to him has clean eyes like a clear spring on the mountain, not stained with the dust of the world.
Retracting his gaze, the shopkeeper said humbly, "I wonder what kind of herb you want to sell?" β
Song Ningyi raised her eyebrows, as soon as the shopkeeper opened his mouth, he knew that they were going to sell medicinal herbs?
Mu Beiyuan opened his mouth and said, "Recently, I have occasionally obtained some herbs that replenish qi and blood, and the shopkeeper's help palm to see what is the color of our herbs?" β
Replenish qi and blood, the shopkeeper's heart chuckled, the first thing he thought of was ginseng, but he felt incredible, how could such a precious herb be casual...... Thinking of this, the shopkeeper looked at Mu Beiyuan again, couldn't help but purse the corners of his lips, and slowly raised his hand to make a gesture of please.
"I don't know if the shopkeeper is missing this thing?" Mu Beiyuan held the basket in his arms, pulled out the corner of the ginseng with his hand, and said.
The shopkeeper has been with Chinese medicine for forty years, and he smelled that most of the food in their back baskets was notoginseng, and a small amount of other herbs, all of which were fresh and had a strong earthy smell, so it could be seen that the man had opened the corner of the herbs, and something that seemed to be the color of a radish suddenly attracted his attention.
No wonder, he just smelled a familiar but unfamiliar smell, that is, the smell of ginseng, but he had only seen it dried, and it was the first time he had seen it fresh, and his eyes suddenly became hot.
Song Ningyu looked at the shopkeeper's eyes suddenly widened with some amusement, and pointed to the ginseng in the back basket with his hand trembling incredulously, revealing such a gaffe.
"Quick, please inside!"
The shopkeeper's smile was bright, and some of the dog-legged invited them into the house.
The empty guy scratched his hair stupidly at the door, he hadn't seen his shopkeeper smile like a fool for many years, and he was more curious about what was in the back basket.
The room was divided into two compartments in the north and south, and they were led into the north compartment, and in the compartment was an old man who was in his late teens, although he had silver hair, his eyes were bright and bright, and his body was very strong.
The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and introduced, "Medicine God-Elder Su, it just so happens that I have traveled here, and I am afraid that I am not qualified to hold your baby in the palm of my hand, so it happens that Yao Lao is here, let him help you take a look." β
He greeted Mu Beiyuan and the others with a smile, "The two of you sit down first and drink a cup of tea." "I even poured my own tea.
Yao Lao raised his eyebrows, and just wanted to speak, Mu Beiyuan interrupted him, "There is Lao Yao's old age." The attitude is alienated.
Yao Lao was startled, and then looked at the back basket quietly, he dealt with herbs when he was a child, and then practiced medicine for more than 50 years, all kinds of smells were naturally thorough, from the moment they came in, he smelled that rich, fresh smell, better than any ginseng he had handled before.
Yao Lao was the master of Mu Beiyuan's father, and he also instructed him to prescribe medicine, but later that person was obsessed with immortality, and Yao Lao expelled him from the division in anger, but for this apprentice, he has always loved it, although this time it is a travel, but he is mainly secretly looking for this little apprentice, but I didn't expect him to meet him just when he arrived today, and he was followed by such a bright girl.
Mu Beiyuan secretly warned Yao Lao and asked him not to talk casually, and the other party looked at Song Ningyu with a smile and thoughtfulness.
The shopkeeper opened the hem of his clothes, sat in the closest place to Mu Beiyuan, rubbed his palms, and his eyes were full of warm anticipation, "Little brother, in this basket, but...... People, ginseng? β
Song Ningyu habitually put the tea on the table to the tip of his nose and smelled it, took a sip, the corners of his eyes jumped, why does this shopkeeper look a little jumpy, not calm at all, the solemn and elegant atmosphere just now is gone, this style of painting has become a little sudden.
Mu Beiyuan did not respond to the other party, his eyes leaked a look of disdain, and he let the shopkeeper look at him at will.
"Under the surname Su, I don't know you...... Name? The shopkeeper didn't look at any of them from beginning to end, and kept staring at the back basket in Mu Beiyuan's arms.
Mu Beiyuan saw his eagerness, but he smiled, "Shopkeeper Su." β
"Hmm," Shopkeeper Su replied, his eyes did not leave the back basket in his hand, his eyes were eager and straightforward, and he almost glued to it.
Mu Beiyuan moved his gaze to the medicine elder on the side, and the medicine elder kept looking at Song Ningyuan who didn't speak for a long time, Song Ningyuan lowered his head and drank tea, occasionally glancing at Mu Beiyuan with his spare eyes, and there was a strange atmosphere circulating in the air.
Shopkeeper Su didn't hear Mu Beiyuan's voice, nor did he see any movement from him, so he couldn't help but raise his head.
"Yao Lao, you ......" won't fall in love with someone's little daughter-in-law.
As soon as Shopkeeper Su spoke, he was hit with a stick from Yao Lao on his head, covered his head and grinned, "What are you beating me for." β
"Little brother, when are you going to let us see your baby......" Yao Lao also knew that he had just a lot of mistakes, and he also knew what virtues this little nephew of his own family had, so just don't wait for him to say anything to anger him, and knock him first.
Mu Beiyuan smiled and bowed his head slightly, but his eyes looked at the girl beside him.
The girl who everyone followed his gaze looked clean and pure, like a spirit in the mountains, ignorant of the world but dazzling.
Shopkeeper Su secretly admired the girl, and then put his eyes back on the back basket, and the line of sight under his eyes was like an X-ray penetrating the back basket to see what it was.
But Song Ningyu stretched out her jade finger and only rubbed it on the edge of the back basket.
Shopkeeper Su's gaze was so enthusiastic that it almost burst out.
But Song Ningyu was like a naughty child, rubbed a few times, stretched out his hand again, and took a sip of tea.
Shopkeeper Su looked forward to it for a long time, but when he saw that she withdrew her hand again, he stood up angrily, and he didn't care about the vest that had fallen to the ground, and said,
"Two young masters, hurry up and let me see it then, I'm old, this heart can't withstand your tossing so much."
Yao Lao looked at his little nephew angrily on the side, with a look of disgust, and moved to the side, which seemed to emphasize that they were not familiar.
Song Ningyi smiled and said, "It's a little heavy, is Shopkeeper Su interested in taking it out and taking a look in person?" As he spoke, he picked up the basket on Mu Beiyuan's body and put it in the hands of Shopkeeper Su.
Shopkeeper Su thought that the herbs inside would not be very heavy, but he just wanted to dislike the girl's small strength, and he almost didn't hold it steady as soon as he took over, so he hurriedly hugged it, for fear that he would accidentally drop the baby inside to the ground.
Weighing the weight inside, the smile became more eager.
Shopkeeper Su staggered, stabilized his figure, slowly put the basket in his hand on the ground, reached out and touched the ginseng buried under the herb, and gasped,
"You...... This...... The ......'s voice was excited and trembling, mixed with a thick incredulity, and he stammered a little speechless.
Yao Lao, who was guarding the side, looked at his nephew's ignorant appearance and despised it even more.
Song Ningyi smiled a little slyly, she was surprised in her heart, she didn't think that people in this world also loved ginseng so much, she had never seen such a big wild ginseng.
"Shopkeeper Su, are you still satisfied?"
"Satisfied, satisfied, haha, satisfied!" Shopkeeper Su excitedly saw the light of his eyes flickering with his movements under the reflection of the sunlight.
The movement is light on the ginseng in the basket, white and fat, very fresh, exuding the unique fragrance of ginseng, and even a little excited to dare not touch it.
Song Ningyu smiled slyly and snatched the back basket beside Shopkeeper Su, "Shopkeeper Su, can you take it?" β
Looking at the fresh ginseng in front of him, of course Shopkeeper Su knew their value, nodded deeply, stretched out five fingers, and said, "Five hundred taels, I want it!" βγ
Yao Lao hadn't seen ginseng yet, so he heard his nephew directly give five hundred taels, and he began to be curious.
Mu Beiyuan was still expressionless, but silently clasped his hand where Song Ningyu could see it.
Song Ningyi's good-looking willow eyebrows raised upward, and she was relieved, and said, "Okay." βγ
Hearing Song Ningyi's words, the shopkeeper Mo's heart settled down, he already likes medical skills, and he is even more partial to medicinal herbs, but there is no one to take care of the business at home, and he is the eldest son and grandson, so he has done it hard, five hundred taels is already his limit, but fortunately, the other party is an interesting person.
Mu Beiyuan opened his mouth and said: "There is a shopkeeper Lao Su who followed Xia Neizi to get the silver ticket, I waited here with the medicine elder, my lady likes all kinds of herbs, if the shopkeeper Su is convenient, can you take her around." β
"Good, good!" Shopkeeper Su, who got a ginseng, was in a better mood, and he was still a fellow believer, so he liked it more in his heart, and led Song Ningyu out of the house.
As soon as the front foot left, the medicine old man couldn't sit still on the back foot, and scooped up the ginseng in the back basket.
β¦β¦ Embarrassed, one hand didn't get up, hehe smirked, hugged the ginseng with both hands and took it out, "Oh my goodness, such a big ginseng, this is at least five hundred years, Lao Tzu, I have also been in charge of the world's medical hall for half a hundred years, and I have never seen such a big one." β
Mu Beiyuan changed his gentle attitude just now, exuding cold air all over his body, and looked at Yao Lao with disdain and did not speak.
"Hehe, boy, I haven't seen you for a few months and got married? That little girl is so handsome, beautiful a mountain monster who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, why is she blind, looking for an old bachelor like you, with a straight face all day long, like someone owes you eight hundred taels of silver. β
Mu Beiyuan listened to what Yao Lao said, his face became even darker, and he hadn't even skimmed the eight characters before, but now...... Will she also dislike her age?
Yao Lao looked at Mu Beiyuan curiously, "Boy, you won't really fall in love with that girl, she is dressed like this, but she is not worthy of you, the best people in your family, it is impossible to let her enter the door, you still die of this heart, don't harm other people's little girls!" β
The corner of Mu Beiyuan's eyes crossed the corner of his eyes with a lost light, he knew better than anyone what the home that eats people and doesn't spit out bones is like, and what Yao Lao said is not unreasonable, but let him let go, he ......
I really don't want to let go! I can't put it down.
