Chapter Eighty-Eight: Copying the Book
When Hui Ji looked back and saw the carriage, it was too late to retreat, and when she was dragged back, she was still stunned.
Yue'er, on the other hand, was not so lucky, and when she dragged back Megumi she rushed out, but fortunately the horse had already passed, but she hit the body of the car, and the person fell backwards.
Megumi pounced to catch her, but after all, she was a step too late.
Yue'er fell sideways, and she tried to bear all the weight of her body with one arm, but the arm was broken.
The carriage didn't stop at all, and Hui Zhen cried while hugging Yue'er and shouting at the speeding carriage: "You hit someone, stop and take a look, save her." ”
No one answered her, Hui Zhi struggled to help Yue'er, who was rolling down her face with painful tears and sweat, and she helplessly asked the indifferent onlookers: "Where is the medical hall, where is the medical hall?" ”
Most of them didn't speak, only a white-haired mother-in-law came over and pointed her the way to the hospital.
Yue'er's leg was not injured, but her arm was injured, and the two quickly arrived at the hospital. But the doctor said that he had to pay the consultation fee and medicine fee first.
It's not much, only one or two halves of silver, but the two of them have less than two hundred dollars, where to find the remaining one or two more silver.
Hui Zhi knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to the old doctor, but the doctor became even more impatient, waved his hand and said, "Don't get in the way here if you don't have any money, go out." ”
Yue'er endured the pain of a broken bone, stepped forward and pulled Hui up and said, "It's okay with me, just go back and fix it yourself, don't beg him." ”
The old doctor was talking to a subordinate of a big family at this moment, explaining how to boil the medicine that the girl grabbed for the master. That good attitude almost makes people believe that doctors are good people, saints who hang pots to help the world.
Megumi looked at it blankly, suddenly turned around and ran outside, Yue'er caught up with her and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
The tears on Megumi's face have not been wiped away, but there is a strange brilliance in her eyes, for the first time, she did not treat Miss like a girl, but like a sister to a doting sister. wiped Yue'er's face with his sleeve, then hugged her and whispered in her ear: "Wait for me, I will definitely get the silver to cure you, good, wait here and don't walk around." ”
This is a girl who shares her fate, and it is also the person she loves the most who tells her to take care of and protect her. Huizhi's own life is nothing to look forward to, and protecting Yue'er is now her only belief.
She finally rubbed Yue'er's head twice, smiled at her, and turned to run away.
Yue'er sat on the ground outside the door of the infirmary and waited for Megumi to come back after an hour, but she didn't come back alone.
Hui Zhi ran over and dragged Yue'er up: "I have money to treat your injuries, come quickly." ”
Yue'er was dragged by her and asked as she walked: "You tell me, where did the silver come from, I don't want you to do anything to hurt yourself, so even if my arm is useless, I won't treat it." ”
Hui Zhi looked very happy, looked back at the person who came with her and didn't follow closely, so she said in Yue'er's ear: "I sold myself to the tooth shop, four taels of silver, except for your injuries, when you get better, you will pay the mortgage and copy the book, and then buy me back when you earn enough." ”
Yue'er was taken aback when she heard this: "What if they sell you into that kind of place?" What if I haven't earned enough money to buy your money, and you're bought by someone else? ”
"It's hard for me to sell at my age, don't worry." After saying that, Hui Ji went to pay the consultation fee and medicine fee.
The people who followed Yaxing waited until Yue'er's arm was taken care of by the old doctor, and then took the medicine out, and then left with Huizhi.
Huizhi followed behind the man, turned around and waved at Yue'er: "Go buy something to eat, go back and fry the medicine quickly." ”
Yue'er refused to leave, and kept following Megumi until she followed her into the tooth shop. After determining the position of the tooth line, Yue'er turned around and ran.
I went out and bought a few steamed buns, and I ate them with Hui Zhi in the tooth shop. After she had eaten her fill, she walked back step by step, crying as she went.
After decocting the medicine at home, Yue'er cleaned herself up and dressed up like a scholar and went to the study.
She was glad that she had injured her left arm, so that it would not affect her copying. took out the book and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wanted to go to see Hui Zhi, but I was afraid that she would not let me copy the book, so I hurried back.
When I came out, I carried a basket and bought some stick noodles and a small packet of salt.
I get up before dawn every day, cook a pot of stick noodle porridge with a little salt in it, and eat it all day. After that, I decocted the medicine, and spent the rest of my time copying books, and went to bed when it was dark.
In ten days, Yue'er copied the whole book, took it to the study and exchanged it for more than a tael of silver, and after removing the input of paper and ink, she didn't earn a tael.
After ten days, my arm didn't hurt anymore, and during this time, I looked at the doctor again, and Yue'er took the two pieces of silver and ran to the tooth store happily.
Ya Po sat under the eaves eating melon seeds, Yue'er arched her hand like a scholar first, and then asked, "Dare to ask this eldest sister, is Hui Zhen still in your tooth shop?" ”
Ya Po looked at the handsome little scholar in front of her, and her attitude unconsciously became kind, and she said to Yue'er with a smile: "Hui Zhen stayed with me for three days and left, and now she is enjoying happiness at the king's house." ”
"Huh?" Yue'er's happy mood suddenly felt like she had been hit by a big stone, and she asked anxiously, "What did she do when she was bought by Wang Yuan's family?" ”
Ya Po replied with a smile: "The big girl next to the old lady of the king's family is matched, this old lady doesn't like to use the one who is too young, this is not the person who the eldest son of the king's family came to find in person, and he took it away at that time." ”
Yue'er was stunned and didn't know what to do, and when Ya Po saw this, she asked, "Who are you?" ”
Yue'er raised her head and looked at her blankly, her eyes suddenly turned red, she thought of Hui'er deciding to sell what she had done and said that day, Yue'er said sullenly: "She is my sister, the only sister, who sold herself to help me heal my injuries." ”
When Ya Po saw that such a handsome little scholar was about to cry, and she said it so sadly, she hurriedly beckoned someone to move a chair to Yue'er, and persuaded her: "Little boy, don't worry, your sister signed a living deed, and Wang Yuanwai said that you can redeem your sister after three years of ten taels of silver." ”
"Eldest sister, can I go see my sister?"
Ya Po was embarrassed: "This person who has just entered is not allowed to see his family, you wait, I will help you inquire and see when your sister can come out." ”
Yue'er got up and gave Ya Po a salute, then said goodbye and went back with one or two of her silver.
Three years, it takes three years to redeem it. It's okay, how can I earn enough ten taels of silver in three years.
Yue'er was afraid that her body would not be able to withstand it, so she went to buy some vegetables and meat and bones and came back, boiled meat and bone broth, steamed some stick noodles, and pickled small pickles with green vegetables.
She has to take care of her body, work hard to copy books, earn enough money as soon as possible, and then she will be able to redeem Huizhen, and the two will go to Beiping together.
Yue'er's living expenses are less than one tael of silver a month, and she can earn two taels without working hard.
Every time she went to hand in the book, she had to go to the dental store to ask if Hui Zhi could come out now.
