Chapter II
Cheng Youli is the only child in Chengjia Village who has ever read a book.
Because he is the child of the landlord's family.
Cheng Youli was a little reluctant after hearing what the kid said.
He didn't want to play with these mud-legged kids, but the teacher insisted that he write an essay about friendship.
He went to a private school, and none of his classmates had any friends, so he had to come to the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.
The children in the village, including some adults, have a soft spot for this big locust tree, and they all play and talk under it when they have nothing to do.
- It's boring.
He raised his eyes and read word by word: "Hanging pot helps the world." ”
The girl's body is not tall, and the signboard in her hand is a head taller than her, which makes the girl appear weaker.
Cheng Youli "hummed".
"It's just a charlatan, I'm still a child, and I still hang a pot to help the world......"
People are small and big.
Chen Jiaojiao smiled softly.
"This little ~ brother, I have a medicine for long wisdom, do you want to know about it?"
Cheng Youli has a white eye.
"The mentally retarded sells medicine for long wisdom, do you think I'm stupid?"
Chen Jiaojiao's eyebrows and eyes were crooked: "I think the little ~ brother is not stupid, but he may be crazy, otherwise why do his eyes keep turning white?" ”
"That's what the eyes look like at the onset of madness, only the whites of the eyes."
Cheng Youli felt that his lungs were about to explode after hearing the girl's meaning.
"You dead girl, believe it or not, I'll call someone to beat you up."
"Manly man, if you want to fight, you can go on your own, what is the reason for calling people? Are you a woman? ”
Chen Jiaojiao was also very angry.
The master who loved her the most was gone, and she was already holding back a fire in her heart.
Hearing the bear's disdainful words, she felt that she might need to fight to vent all her emotions.
Cheng Youli was ten years old.
But he felt that he was already a man, and he was provoked by the girl and he went into battle himself.
And then there was no then.
In the pity eyes of the little friends, he cried back with a messy chicken nest.
Chen Jiaojiao elegantly rolled down her sleeves, what is it to bully the small with the big is nothing?
Just after the fight, she used all the deadly serial moves taught by her master.
Who called that kid a thief fat.
Mom.
I was almost pressed to the ground by him and rubbed against him.
She dusted her clothes, then took the trade in her hand and smiled.
"Kids, do you want to eat maltose?"
"Not only delicious, but also tonify the spleen and invigorate qi, moisten the lungs and relieve cough, this autumn is always a little dry, buy some back to soak in water to moisten the lungs."
The children looked at each other and dispersed.
"Mother, have a liar entered the village?"
"Grandpa, go and call the village chief, someone beat Cheng Youli to tears."
Chen Jiaojiao had a flat mouth and her eyes were a little sour.
Master is gone, and there is no one to protect her.
She turned and left a village she had come across.
The pills in the gourd made a low rustling sound as she walked.
She's not a liar.
The medicine in the gourd was carefully concocted by the master, and even the maltose was boiled by the master and apprentice, and she was reluctant to eat it herself.
The sunlight was flowing overhead, and Chen Jiaojiao would shout a few words whenever she saw scattered houses on the side of the road.
She's been doing this for years.
When she and Master were walking outside, Master rang the bell and she shouted.
It's not easy to be a traveling doctor, they don't have a fixed place and won't stay in one place for a long time, so they have to know everything.
Acupuncture, medicine, massage, etc., as long as you can use it, you can use it.
It must be done with one dose of knowledge and two doses.
Only in this way can it be guaranteed that the patient can be cured within two or three days and leave.
The midday sun was shining, and she tried to swallow her saliva.
She hadn't drunk water for a long time, and Chen Jiaojiao felt a little dry in her mouth.
She's already crossed 2 hills today.
I couldn't help but be happy when I saw the smoke curling not far away.
Chen Jiaojiao quickened her pace and walked forward, and soon came to a thatched house.
She stood outside the fence and shouted, "Is there anyone in the house?" ”
An old woman heard the shouting and hurriedly walked out.
"Auntie, I am very tired and thirsty when I pass by here, can I ask for a bowl of water to drink?" Chen Jiaojiao smiled with her eyebrows and eyes, and her expression was very humble.
Master said that if you ask for someone, you have to have an attitude of asking for someone, and you have to have the right posture.
The old woman looked at the girl with a shell in her mouth and was silent.
She turned around and poured a bowl of boiled water from the teapot in the house, and walked out, then grabbed a few chaffs from the place where the rice was made and sprinkled them on it.
Chen Jiaojiao took the bowl and looked at the old man.
Masters are in the folk.
When people are thirsty, they can't help but be very anxious, so many people drink water in this situation.
A bowl of water is finished in a few sips.
However, there is a problem if it goes on like this.
Some people vomit when they drink water in the future, and they vomit when they drink it, because drinking water is too urgent, and the water is separated in the middle septum and cannot be vaporized, which blocks new water from entering the body.
Chen Jiaojiao blew the chaff open and took a sip of water.
Master said that you have to drink water and eat slowly, and you can't be in a hurry.
The old woman looked at the well-behaved girl and couldn't help but be a little moved: "Where is the girl, going to go?" ”
Chen Jiaojiao just finished drinking the water in the bowl, and she replied while handing the bowl back to the old man: "Thank you, auntie, I'm going to Pingliang City." ”
The old woman frowned: "Pingliang City? Although this place doesn't sound very far, the mountain road is uneven, and you are afraid that you will have to walk for several days? ”
Chen Jiaojiao pursed the corners of her mouth: "It's okay, I've been used to it since I was a child, and I'm used to crossing mountains and mountains, thank you for your grace." ”
The old woman waved her hand: "It's just a few mouthfuls of water, the girl is polite." ”
After Chen Jiaojiao said goodbye to the old man, she went all the way.
It doesn't seem like there are many things on the body, but after a long time, it feels heavier and heavier, and the back is about to fold.
She wanted to go into town.
The people in the city have money.
Every time she and Master treated someone, the people in the city would be able to charge a little higher for the consultation, and the people in the countryside would only charge a few coppers.
Of course, there are also hosts in the township who are polite and will stay for dinner, but it is also clear soup and little water.
When the sun set, Chen Jiaojiao found a place to prepare to sleep in the open.
There were two more big cakes given by Aunt Yan, and she saved and only ate half of them.
It's nothing.
In the past, when she was running with Master, if she couldn't meet patients for a period of time and couldn't make money, she would be hungry.
But at that time, Master would always find a few maltose for her to eat.
Sweet, it makes her feel that being hungry is also a happy thing.
Chen Jiaojiao put the things away and hid them, then picked up some dry firewood and made a fire, and finally pulled the wooden hairpin off her head, took off her coat and lay down on the ground.
The night arrived as scheduled.
She stared at the starlight in the sky and thought of a long, long time ago.
When she was in Taocheng, she lived with Master for many months, and that was when she was happiest.
She made several friends, and every day she was fine, she just fooled around with them.
Go down to the river to fish, go up the mountain to set rabbits, etc., how happy and happy you are.
It's a pity that Master insisted on leaving.
She really didn't understand why Master's medical skills were so good, why she couldn't open a medical clinic in one place, so that she didn't have to run around and work hard.
