Chapter 67: It tastes like chewing wax
So he looked at the head of the Mei family, Mei was loyal.
Mei Zhongzhong understood it in the back, and immediately stood up: "My daughter's words are my Mei Zhongzhong's words!" Bamboo poles, bamboo roots, and you brothers have to bother! For all of you who helped today, this love is loyal to me, and I will definitely not treat you badly! ”
That's no problem!
Without waiting for the Li brothers to find someone, several enthusiastic men stood up to watch the excitement on the side.
Mei Xiaoque is an honest person, and his reputation in the next village is good, and many men have a good relationship with him.
Everyone's hearts are not iron, it only takes a lot of effort, if it can be saved, it is also a matter of accumulating virtue.
The brothers of the Li family picked out more than a dozen powerful men in it and asked Mei Xiaotong: "Sister of the Mei family, plus our brothers have ten, is it enough?" ”
Mei Xiaotong estimated the distance, and it was enough to estimate, not to mention his fourth brother, there were too many people, but it would delay things.
So nodded: "Enough!" Thank you, big brothers! ”
Mei Zhongzhong was also busy thanking him, and also caught the heavenly leopard who stayed by his side, and asked him to kowtow to the selected man to thank him!
At this moment, Mei Changgui ran over with the freshly tied shelf bed, and two thick quilts were placed on the two sturdy bamboo poles.
The four corners were tied to death, along the bamboo poles, and were simply fixed with the thread of the quilt, and Mei Xiaotong pressed it with her hands, which was very firm.
Tianlong and Tianhu in the back carried a wrapper, and there were two big bamboo tubes hanging on their bodies, and trotted all the way to Mei Xiaotong: "Auntie, this is the cake that the third aunt has just baked, let me eat it on the way." ”
When you open the furoshiki skin, you will find a cake made with soba noodles and sorghum batter, and a layer of chopped green onions will be sprinkled with a layer of hot steam.
Mei Xiaotong motioned to Tianlong and Tianhu to distribute the cakes to the dozen or so men who had just stood up: "Take the cakes quickly and let your uncles pad their stomachs first, and you will have to carry your father on dozens of miles of mountain roads in a while, and you can't do it without filling your stomach." ”
Tianlong and Tianhu were quite smart, and immediately handed the cake to those men, and they kept thanking them.
Everyone does not shirk, after all, carrying people to run dozens of miles of mountain roads is hard work, and there is no goods in the stomach to delay things.
Wen's craftsmanship is good, this cake is charred on the outside and soft on the inside, and there are green onions, the real material is enough, a cake is the size of a pot lid, and an adult man can eat one.
Mei Xiaotong pulled Mei Changgui aside and whispered a few words, Mei Changgui nodded, didn't speak, only took a piece of bread and chewed it in a big mouthful, he had to eat enough, and when he was full, he had the strength to send his eldest brother to the town to see the doctor!
Mei Xiaotong arranged things properly, looked around, and saw An Huahao standing against the wall, looking at herself with complicated eyes.
She was stunned for a moment, remembering what Tianlong said, the eldest brother can be sent here, thanks to him helping the fourth brother move the stones away and carry people over, no matter what grievances there were before, she should say thank you to people at this moment.
Seeing how many cakes were left in Tianlong's wrapper, he hurriedly took two of them, and sent one to Doctor Liu: "Doctor, you also pad your stomach first, and I will trouble you more later!" ”
It's no wonder that there are many people, the life of the eldest brother on the road still depends on the old doctor Liu to maintain, naturally you can't be stingy, it's just a cake, it's worth it to make the old doctor Liu feel a little comfortable and happy.
Sure enough, the old doctor Liu showed a satisfied look, the Mei family girl is good, she can be a person, and she knows how to raise her eyebrows! Nowadays, the life of the Zhuang family is not good, they are all hungry and full.
Especially when he is a doctor, his family is not having a good time, and he is naturally less willing to see a doctor, and he is also old, so he can't do farm work, and only relies on selling herbs and treating people to make a living, which is really difficult.
Therefore, when I saw this cake with enough ingredients, I was reluctant to refuse and took it.
In my heart, I decided that I would give the medicine that I was reluctant to use to the wounded for a while, and how could I save my life and go to the town.
Mei Xiaotong didn't know what was going on in the heart of Old Doctor Liu.
took the remaining piece of bread and walked up to An Huahao and handed it forward: "Thank you for today's incident!" I haven't had lunch yet, but now it's all there is, don't dislike it! When my eldest brother is well, another day, please come to my house for dinner, thank you well! ”
An Huahao lowered her eyebrows, looking at the hot cake in Mei Xiaotong's hand, her hands were still chubby, like a noisy steamed bun, although the fingers were thicker, but the flesh was not boneless, and there were several soft meat sockets on the back of her hands.
The cake seemed to be a little hot, making her fingertips reddened slightly......
"Folks in the big hometown, it should be!" An Huahao said in a low voice and took the cake.
The cake was really hot, so hot that his fingers shrank uncomfortably, and he lowered his head to nibble on the cake.
Mei Xiaotong looked at An Huahao's appearance of eating cakes differently from other people, although she was also fast, she didn't look rude at all.
I don't know if Mei Xiaotong was uncomfortable, so I swallowed it after a few more bites, but I was choked and my neck was red.
Mei Xiaotong hurriedly asked Tianlong to take the bamboo tube and handed it to An Huahao.
An Huahao poured several sips before swallowing.
Wanting to return the bamboo tube and turning his head, Mei Xiaotong was already squatting beside Mei Xiaoque, talking to Mei Changgui and Mei Zhongzhong.
After hesitating for a moment, An Huahao was just about to walk over.
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou had already arrived on the front and back.
Mrs. Li took out a purse from her arms, bulged it, and stuffed it into Mei Zhongzhong's arms.
Zhou's face was not washed, his hair was not combed, and even the burden he was holding in his hand was wrapped indiscriminately.
A pair of eyes looked at Mei Xiaoque lying on the ground.
Old Doctor Liu took advantage of his efforts to give Mei Xiaoque a few more injections, and poured him a bowl of medicine: "Okay, we can't delay any longer." ”
The men hurriedly swallowed the cake, and under the command of Old Doctor Liu, they carefully moved Mei Xiaoque from the ground to the shelf.
Mei Xiaoque had no other symptoms except for moaning twice, and the old doctor Liu found the rope again, fixed Mei Xiaoque on the shelf, and then waved his hand: "Let's go!" ”
The Li brothers immediately stepped forward and squatted down, and the two men next to them lifted the shelf and put it on their shoulders, and the two got up again, lifted it and rushed to the town.
Mei Zhongzhong and Old Doctor Liu are guarding left and right, taking care of them at any time.
Zhou followed behind, trotting all the way with tears in his eyes.
The rest of the men naturally followed, waiting for the Li brothers to take over after they ran out.
Mei Xiaotong pulled Mei Changgui to explain: "You remember who is helping today, the eldest brother's injury in the town is the most important, don't care about anything else, no matter what kind of medicinal materials the doctor says he wants, how much silver he wants, promise first, you know?" ”
Mei Changgui nodded again and again.
"My mother and I will go back today to arrange things at home, and we will go to the town early tomorrow morning, let's go! Dad is old and in poor health, everything is counting on you! ”
Mei Changgui looked at the calm face of the little sister and the orderly explanation, and the panicked heart slowly settled down.
Now, in this family, the old and the young, they are relying on him! He is a man, and he can't let Xiaomei and a woman come out at this time!
"Don't worry! I'm leaving! Mei Changgui patted Mei Xiaotong on the shoulder, turned around and strode after him.
The Celestial Dragon, the Celestial Tiger and the Celestial Leopard had already taken advantage of the adult's hectic inattention and followed in the team.
Mei Xiaotong and Mrs. Li followed behind and sent out, and saw the group disappear at the end of the mountain road at a fast speed.
The mother and daughter walked slowly home, out of Yang's shop, and walked far away, only to feel that someone seemed to be following behind.
Looking back, An Huahao was still holding his bamboo tube and following behind unhurriedly.
Seeing Mei Xiaotong turn around, he stepped forward quickly, stuffed the bamboo tube to Mei Xiaotong, and rushed to the front in three or two steps, and walked quickly.
If it was in the past, Mrs. Li would definitely say a few words, but she was not in the mood at the moment.
I was worried about the boss's injury, and I felt sorry for the silver that was given!
I only looked back at the side of the mountain road, "Girl, do you think your eldest brother can be cured?" How much does it cost to see a doctor in this town! O iniquity! Your father has said that you don't want them to dig yams, you have to listen to Lin Xinghua's words of the broom star girl, and take your father's words as a deaf ear! It's okay now, it's like that, eighty percent of it won't work, what can I do in the future? We're left old, old, and small! What a life to come! ”
"At the beginning, I said that I didn't agree to marry Lin Xinghua, a broom star, it's all your dead milk, and I will give it to your eldest brother! This old woman who killed a thousand knives, she hurt your eldest brother! And my silver, that's the money for the fourth daughter-in-law, and your dowry money! If you can be optimistic, forget it, let the boss earn money in the future, but if you don't look good, you will have to go up in the water! ”
Mei Xiaotong was speechless, it's all this time, people's lives are at stake, what kind of money are you still worried about?
It's just hard to persuade you, you know, in Mrs. Li's heart, the girl is the first, the silver is the second, how can you not be heartbroken?
What's more, Mei Xiaoque's injury was very tricky in the era when he came with advanced science and technology, and if he injured his nerves, it would be the consequence of paralysis and amputation.
Don't talk about this era of more backward medicine!
It's just that you can't say this to Mrs. Li, otherwise, I'm afraid that Mrs. Li will regret it even more.
Therefore, he can only use Dafa to fool and coax Dafa: "Mother, didn't the old Doctor Liu say that Doctor Ma in the town has a hand in treating this?" Maybe Big Brother Ji can be cured! As long as the eldest brother can be cured, the money will be earned back in the future! Besides, aren't I learning embroidery right now? When I learn, I'll embroider to earn money to support you and my father! You can rest assured, I will definitely be able to support you and my father, and when the time comes, I will buy you meat to eat every day, buy you silk clothes to wear, and buy you two girls to serve you when you have money, okay? ”
"Nonsense again! You will not be allowed to marry in the future? Where is there a married girl who still raises her own father? Mother, as long as you are good, marry a good man, and live a prosperous life in the future, and your mother will be content! This kind of thing of raising a father and mother has been a son's business since ancient times, what do your brothers eat? The old lady raised them, but she didn't even raise them anymore? Isn't it cheaper for them? The words coaxed Mrs. Li to talk nonsense, and her eyes were smiling.
Mei Xiaotong saw that Mrs. Li's mind was taken away, so she wiped her cold sweat, and echoed Mrs. Li's complaints, and the two mothers and daughters went home with their arms.
was about to get home, Mei Xiaotong could still see An Huahao's back from a distance, and after pausing in the middle of the road, his steps twisted, and instead of going in the direction of his house, he entered the mountain?
Mei Xiaotong took a second look, and couldn't help muttering, do you have to go up the mountain at this time?
But soon, the sound from the courtyard made her throw this idea out of the clouds.
