"Xianggong, can you take me to the market?"

On the way back, Cao Zhijin pestered Chen Fansheng and begged.

"I'm suffocated at home alone, and I'm afraid of meeting Aunt Cao when I go out...... How about it, Xianggong will take me there, go! ”

Without waiting for him to refuse, Cao Zhijin moved to sell cuteness.

Chen Fansheng thought of how she was at home alone in the past, and agreed.

The two went home to get bamboo baskets and insect repellent, and Chen Fansheng took Cao Zhijin to a family in the village.

The owner of the house was a middle-aged man, single, half-wrapped in the yard, built a shed, and raised two donkeys. In addition to working in the fields, he also earns a living by helping people transport goods.

There is a four-wheeled cart in the open air in the courtyard, the noose on the front of the cart has turned white, and the two donkeys usually take turns to help him pull goods.

According to him, all his belongings are on these two donkeys, and he doesn't dare to let them work too hard until he earns enough money!

Cao Zhijin originally thought that the whole village would not want to see Chen Fansheng, but he didn't expect this master to see him, and his face revealed a bit of surprise.

"Last time my donkey went crazy and ran into the woods, thanks to Fan Sheng stopped me, I said that one day I need my help, I will lend my donkey to you, no money, Fan Sheng is not, I didn't expect to take the initiative to come to the door today!" He looked at Cao Zhijin and smiled, "Brocade, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have grown taller again." The Xiang Guild hurts people, you are blessed! ”

Cao Zhijin's face was crimson, and he secretly looked at Chen Fansheng.

Chen Fansheng walked over and touched the donkey's head, and said to the master: "I borrowed this donkey." ”

The owner waved his hand haughtily: "Take it away, I can rest assured in your hands!" ”

Before leaving, Cao Zhijin smiled gratefully at her master, and she hoped that everyone in the village could be so good to Xianggong.

"Xianggong, do you know how to drive a donkey cart?"

Chen Fansheng helped Cao Zhijin climb into the car, and he climbed up flexibly. Cao Zhijin looked at the unfamiliar donkey cart and asked worriedly.

Chen Fansheng put aside the bamboo strip that drew the donkey, and gently patted it on the donkey, and the donkey trotted up obediently and smoothly as if it had received some kind of instruction.

"Xianggong, you are so amazing!" Cao Zhijin looked at him excitedly, as if he could do anything as effortlessly as he had just done. Or rather, she likes to see him confident!

……

There were many people in the market, and the donkey cart was not allowed to enter the market, so Chen Fansheng stored it in the backyard of a wine store at the entrance of the market.

The market is very lively, there are many people, and Cao Zhijin will inevitably be pushed by others. Chen Fansheng stretched out his long arm, protected her in the crook of his arm, and finally arrived at the door of the pharmacy.

Cao Zhijin looked up, only to see a plaque hanging on the door hairpin that had been painted brightly, and three big characters were written on the plaque "Tong Ren Tang".

"What a magnificent pharmacy!" Cao Zhijin couldn't help but praise.

"Of course, in the entire county, we dare to say two in Tongrentang, and no pharmacy dares to say one!" The guy stood out to greet him, and when he saw the herbs in the bamboo basket behind Chen Fansheng, his face immediately turned cold, "I want to sell herbs and go elsewhere!" ”

"Why did you change your face so quickly, although this bitter thorn is not a scarce herb, but you also need this herb in your pharmacy, right?" Cao Zhijin said unhappily.

The guy said impatiently: "If we usually have accepted it, today is different, we have distinguished guests here, and we don't have time to bargain with you shabby ghosts!" ”

"You ......" deceive people too much! Cao Zhijin just wanted to take out the deworming medicine he had made, so that he would regret that he had just looked down on people, when a young man's voice came from the lobby.

"Wait."

He was dressed in a plain crescent white brocade robe, gentle and elegant, and looked like a rich boy.

"What do you command?" The middle-aged man sitting next to him with a shiny face hurriedly got up and asked him.

It seems that this thin man with a goatee is the shopkeeper of this pharmacy.

"Open the door to do business, the guests are coming, how can there be a reason to refuse?" He also stood up, looked at the two of them and said, "You are busy, you are taking your leave." ”

"Childe go slowly, and the little one will send Childe!" The shopkeeper hurriedly strode out, and after a while, he turned back and enthusiastically welcomed Chen Fansheng and Cao Zhijin in.

Cao Zhijin showed the shopkeeper the anthelmintic medicine she made, and the shopkeeper was surprised and delighted, and was full of praise for this thing.

But when she talked about the price, the shopkeeper said that he could not make a decision, and that he would not make a decision until tomorrow when they came back from out of town.

They kept the deworming medicine in the shop, sold the herbs in the bamboo basket, and went to the market to buy a pot, and they had nothing left.

Fortunately, the borrowed donkey cart didn't need money, otherwise they would have to walk back!

On the way back, Chen Fansheng seemed to be in a bad mood.

It's also strange that he always looks cold when he doesn't smile, but she can just feel his different moods in the coldness he repeats.

"Xianggong, don't be discouraged, the shopkeeper seems to like our deworming medicine very much, and when their owner comes back, he will definitely like it when he sees it, and we will collect the money tomorrow!"

Seeing her look so excited to comfort him, he couldn't even bear to speak.

"Tomorrow, I have something urgent."

But he said it anyway.

"In this way, I remember the way to the donkey owner's house, tomorrow I will go to him to borrow a donkey, and I will go to Tongrentang."

Although she said this, how much she hoped in her heart that he sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it, I'll go with you!" ”

But she didn't hear him say that.

He just told her not to talk to strangers, and came back as soon as he got the money.

She responded one by one and comforted herself, who doesn't have a few urgent things? It's that she's been so dependent on him lately, and wants his eyes to be glued to her all the time.

Cao Zhijin ate very little at dinner, and was woken up hungry in the middle of the night. She didn't dare to move, closed her eyes and listened to her stomach growling, worried.

She clearly has an element of gambling, but her stomach is not angry, isn't it embarrassing to get up and forage for food now?

She sighed softly, but she didn't expect to be listened to by him.

"Hungry, aren't you?"

Voices don't come from the side.

She opened her eyes and saw that there was still light in the room.

Chen Fansheng lit a candle and read a book at the table.

Cao Zhijin pushed open the window and looked at the sky, and it was already in the middle of the moon at this time.

"Xianggong, haven't you been sleeping?"

"Can't sleep. I'll go get you food. He put down his book and walked out of the room.

Cao Zhijin sat down in the position he had just placed, turned over the cover, and it turned out to be a book of soldiers!

Chen Fansheng took the food and put it on the table, and the water from the wall of the bowl flowed along the curve of the pottery bowl to the table, and soon accumulated a pool of water at the bottom of the bowl.

In the middle of the night, the food was still warm.

It turned out that he had expected her to be hungry, so he boiled hot water in a pot and soaked the food in the hot water with the bowl to keep warm.
