The temperature was a bit high on the day of the incident, at least Chen Jiaojiao thought so.

She looked at the note in her hand and panicked.

There were only a few words on the note.

Master is out, and the return date is undecided.

She slowly crouched on the ground and thought about it.

When he went out to collect medicine in the morning, the master was still talking about the sesame cakes in Pingliang City, and there was no intention of going out at that time.

Even if you want to go out, you can wait for her to come back, and take her with you.

Chen Jiaojiao said that it was completely unacceptable for a person who had been held in the palm of his hand by his master since he was a child to be suddenly abandoned in this wilderness.

She sniffed and carefully folded the note into her arms.

Since she was a child, she has been wandering around with her master,

There is no fixed place to live.

Master is a traveling doctor.

She is a little traveling doctor.

Their source of income is to collect some money for medical treatment or sell some medicinal herbs.

The house, abandoned long before they arrived, was rudimentary.

After a little tidying up, the master made himself two beds and some necessary furniture, and the two of them lived.

I didn't plan to stay for long, so the roofs of several houses were leaking, and there were many holes in the mud walls.

She and Master barely cleaned up two rooms, Master lived in the north room, and Chen Jiaojiao lived in the south room.

There was only one simple bed in the two-person room.

Chen Jiaojiao hid the note and came to the north house.

She knew that all the master's belongings were hidden under the bed, and she also said that after a hundred years, those belongings would be Chen Jiaojiao's.

Chen Jiaojiao lay on the ground, stretched out her hand and groped for a long time, and dragged a wooden box out with some effort.

There was a small lock on the wooden box, but it didn't matter, she had the key.

Chen Jiaojiao reached out and took off the red rope that had been around her neck.

A small golden key hangs in the center of the red string.

"Smack"

The wooden box opened.

Chen Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment.

In the box that Master regarded as a treasure was a small handkerchief.

Probably because of the age, the white silk fabric is a little yellow.

She picked up the handkerchief and looked at it carefully, it was very ordinary, and it didn't seem to have anything eye-catching.

Chen Jiaojiao was speechless.

This is what Master has always mentioned that she must inherit?

She took a closer look at the handkerchief before putting it into her arms with some disgust.

In any case, this was specially left for her by the master, and she couldn't do without.

Chen Jiaojiao got up and sighed after touching the futon and pillow again.

I didn't leave any of them for her, did this mean that she wanted to drink the northwest wind?

She turned around and went to the room where she lived, packed up two clothes, and then took the master to leave the house where she had lived for less than a month, but it was a pity that the water bladder that had accompanied her for many years was broken.

She's going to the Master.

Something must have happened to Master.

Since she was a child, she has been wandering with her master, and the master has never left her for a day, no matter where she goes, she takes herself with her, although the days are hard, she can't eat enough and don't have warm clothes, but Chen Jiaojiao has always felt that she is very happy.

Because Master said that she is Master's most precious treasure.

She walked a few steps and nibbled on a few bites of the wild grapes she had just picked when she was picking the medicine, which was extremely sour and slightly bitter.

"Master, wild grapes are so unpalatable."

Chen Jiaojiao muttered, her face tilted.

Master said that when the tears are about to fall, put your head up, and the tears will go back.

As the sun set, the evening breeze pushed Chen Jiao's slender body forward with a little autumn dryness.

The road down the mountain is not easy to walk, the mountain road is rugged and winding, Chen Jiaojiao stumbled and walked for a long time before walking to the small village at the foot of the mountain at the end of the sunset.

She stood in front of a house and hesitated for a moment before reaching out and knocking on the door and shouting, "Aunt Yan, Aunt Yan." ”

"Here we are."

A stout woman in the room hurriedly replied when she heard a shout outside the door.

The wooden door creaked open.

The woman looked at the girl standing in the doorway with some surprise.

"It's Jiaojiao, is there something wrong with being so late?"

Chen Jiaojiao hurriedly replied: "I went to the city today, where did I think that something happened on the way back, I see that it is too late, and I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to go up the mountain, so I want to ask Aunt Yan, can I borrow a night at your house?" ”

The woman nodded hurriedly.

"Why can't this be, my daughter-in-law didn't find a midwife for a while when she gave birth, and only by your master's holy hand can the mother and child be safe, and the old woman has always kept it in mind."

"Hurry up, come in, although it is still a little hot during the day in this autumn, it is still a little cool at night."

Chen Jiaojiao was very moved.

Good guy.

The rooms of the Zhuang households are generally about the same, with a large population and few rooms, and it is generally several people squeezed into a bed.

After arranging for a while, Aunt Yan finally stuffed Chen Jiaojiao into a room in the northwest.

Aunt Yan's daughter Chunhua is a little chubby, and she occupies more than half of the already small bed, and she nests on one side of the bed and doesn't dare to move.

Chen Jiaojiao looked at the moonlight leaking in through the crack in the door, and was a little stunned.

She went over and over in her mind what Master had done and said recently, and then discovered something.

Yucheng?

This place was mentioned several times by the master, but Chen Jiaojiao didn't pay attention to it at the time, and now it seems a little strange in retrospect.

The rivers and lakes were too big, and Chen Jiaojiao was not sure that she would be able to find her master, but after having these clues, she rose a little bit of confidence.

Since she found out that Master was gone, her heart had been anxious and worried and frightened a little more settled.

Chen Jiaojiao finally fell asleep.

But before she could sleep, she heard the sound of someone walking in the courtyard, and she forced herself to get up with her sleepy eyes open.

Master is not there, and no one tolerates her getting up.

Aunt Yan was very enthusiastic, and when she left, she stuffed a few cakes for Chen Jiaojiao.

Chen Jiaojiao did not refuse.

She is penniless now, and with these few loaves she can go farther.

She carried a small bag with a set of clothes that had been repaired many times and a few medical books that Master regarded as treasures.

She walked on the country road with a string bell in her right hand, a signboard in her left hand, a medicine bag and a gourd on her shoulder.

The country road is quiet, except for the occasional dog barking in the distance.

Chen Jiaojiao's foot strength is good, but she came to a village in an hour.

The population of this village is quite large, and Chen Jiaojiao can't help but be a little happy.

She patted her cheek, smiled, and ......

"Selling the Heavenly King to replenish the heart pill, if you can't sleep at night, you can sleep after eating."

"Sell ten perfect tonic pills, and eat tonic in autumn and winter to strengthen your body."

The girl's crisp voice accompanied by the "jingle bell" of the bell immediately attracted the attention of everyone.

There is a big locust tree at the entrance of this village.

A group of hairy children were playing around the tree, and after they heard the sound of the "jingling" bell and the sound of the girl selling, they surrounded Chen Jiaojiao curiously.

The girl's hair is tied up with a wooden hairpin, a gray cloth dress, a pair of cloth shoes, a bell in one hand, and a signboard in the other.

There are words on the signboard.

"Cheng Youli, take a look, what's written on her cloth?"
