Chapter 218: Du Mei's Dream
Girl, are you going to go? Yang Bo hurriedly came in from outside the courtyard, saw Du Mei, bowed down and asked.
"It's getting late, and I have to hurry home." Du Mei nodded slightly, and bent down to bless.
"But the young master of my family ......" Uncle Yang glanced at the room a little worriedly.
"I'm afraid I'm going to have to work hard tonight, and remember to give him the decoction to drink again during the third watch." Du Mei whispered.
"It is a matter of course to take care of the young master, the little old man doesn't dare to say that it is hard, he just ......" Murong Xi has always been precocious in his youth, and he is not too decisive in killing, like today, he is like a young man pestering Du Mei, and Uncle Yang is also seeing him for the first time. He was afraid that Du Meiming'er would not come, and he would not be able to explain to the young sect master.
"I'll come back tomorrow afternoon, if there are any variables on the way, you hurry up and send him to Yujitang in Sheshan Town, just say that I let him come. Dr. Zhong is a well-known sage in the field of traumatology, and he is excellent at treating external injuries. Du Mei only worried about the safety of his master, and hurriedly made proper arrangements for him.
"Where will I pick you up tomorrow?" Seeing that Du Mei promised to come again, Yang Bo asked with a smile on his face.
"I have a lot of things to do, and there are many inconveniences elsewhere, so it's in the alley of Song Mansion." Du Mei muttered for a while.
"Then I'll send you over now." Yang Bo bowed down and made a gesture of please.
The two went out, Yang Bo drove the carriage, probably taking a shortcut, and it didn't take much time to get to the alley of the Song Mansion, Du Mei got out of the car in advance, and made an appointment to pick it up here tomorrow.
At this moment, the sun was setting, and occasionally one or two young men dressed as servants came in and out of the alley with things. Du Mei walked all the way, not only did she not find her basket, but she did not even leave a trace, as if nothing had happened in the afternoon.
The lantern had already been hung in front of the Song Mansion, and the little servants at the door saw Du Mei coming back unscathed, and their eyes widened in disbelief, and a clever turn turned around and quickly ran into the house.
When Du Mei saw them like this, she felt that the afternoon was not a dream she had, but a real thing. She smiled at them and turned to the backyard to get the cow cart.
"Oh my mother, Meizi, are you alright?" As soon as Du Mei untied the rope, Liu Gengsheng ran over and looked her up and down.
"It's okay, it's okay." Du Mei smiled.
"At noon I heard a noise, and ran out to look, and saw that you had been taken captive. I panicked all afternoon, and I didn't dare tell my wife. Liu Gengsheng saw that she was fine, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"This matter is over, don't tell Sister Fengxian, she just got on the fetus, don't scare her when she arrives. Do you see my basket? "Du Mei has to bring duck eggs tomorrow, and he can't do without a basket.
"The basket has been split in half by the wicked man, and I will collect the money for you." Liu Gengsheng took out a handful of copper coins from his sleeve and handed it to Du Mei.
"Money in a basket?" Du Mei was a little puzzled, but quickly figured out that it must be the duck egg money hidden in the basket by the county.
"That's right, there are thirty texts in total, and I don't know if there are any leaks." Liu Gengsheng scratched his head.
"No, not bad. I have some things to do tomorrow, and I will delay for a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to come until noon, and please take the trouble to tell Sister Fengxian. After saying that, Du Mei got into the ox cart and raised the wicker.
"I know, Madame would like you to stay and eat, be careful on the way back." Liu Gengsheng smiled and waved his hand.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Du Mei was a little anxious, and the heifer seemed to be in a hurry to go home, and trotted all the way into the town of Sheshan.
"Sister Meizi, aren't the duck eggs selling well today?" The eldest girl had been looking at the door of the grain store, and when she saw her coming, she hurriedly greeted her. Niu Er and Er were stunned and also came out of the grain shop when they heard the sound.
"Brother Niu, tomorrow I want a bag of cornmeal, sorghum rice and white flour, there are them in the shop." Du Mei jumped out of the car, patted the eldest girl soothingly, and asked Niu Er again.
"Yes, yes, but what are you going to do so much?" Niu Er asked a little puzzled.
"Ming'er, I'll talk about it in detail when I come to get it." Du Mei hurried home, afraid that his temper would come up and delay time.
Niu Er saw that the sky was getting dark, so he waved goodbye to them, and he went back to the shop and sorted out what Du Mei wanted.
Hurrying slowly, when the three of them returned to Dujiagou, it was already completely dark, and every family had started to eat dinner.
"Meizi, why is it so late today?" Xu asked a little worriedly. The three little ones gathered around her, their heads tilted, and their eyes stared at her.
"This afternoon, when I was selling duck eggs, I met a man who broke his head and rescued him." This is the explanation that Du Mei thought of along the way, if she told the truth, her mother Ming'er would definitely not let her out.
"Sister, what about another basket?" The Du Ying sisters unloaded the ox cart and found only one basket.
"Ah, I might have lost it when I was busy." Du Mei lowered her head, not daring to look at Xu, and her face turned red because of lying.
"Forget it, it's important to save people, let's go eat." When Xu saw that Du Mei came back safely, he didn't care about anything else.
"Mother, I got my skirt dirty." Du Mei pinched her skirt and said after her.
"I smell it, Ming'er, I'll wash you alone." There was no wave in Xu's tone, and he said calmly.
"Oh." Du Mei answered, and secretly stuck out her tongue, thanks to what she said earlier, although it was not the truth, but it saved her mother from worrying.
When the family sat down for dinner, it was the most pleasant time in the second room.
"Sister, are duck eggs easy to sell in the county?" Du Gui picks up eggs every day, and she cares about this the most.
"It's easy to sell, I'll take more tomorrow and sell it to the shop." Du Mei neither said that the shopkeeper Bian embarrassed her, nor did she mention the lawsuit, but only shared the good results with her family.
"Isn't it cheaper?" Du Ying raised her eyes and asked.
"That's definitely not as high as the price given by Sister Feng's Drunken Immortal Building, but it's a large amount, and if you say two pennies a piece, there will always be one." Du Mei already had a plan in his heart.
"It's different in the county, and the price is more expensive than Sheshan Town." Du Tao said happily.
"Ming'er let Du Shu accompany you." Xu Shi said suddenly.
"Ah...... All right. Du Mei was stunned for a moment, but finally agreed.
After dinner, Du Ying and Du Tao went to tell Du Shu that they would invite him and Du Mei into the county tomorrow, and Du Shu naturally agreed very happily.
Xu didn't want Du Mei to clean up the kitchen, but she couldn't stay idle and was busy bathing Juniper and Du Gui.
The whole family washed and slept peacefully, but Du Mei slept unsteadily, and the fright during the day was too great, and the dream was full of red blood stains at this time. What flashed in the dream was Murong Xi's face for a while, and Chu Lin's face for a while.
She dreamed that she was trapped in an elevator with Hyundai Dumei, and she clutched the handrails in horror and helplessness, her legs trembling. saw Du Mei take out his mobile phone, "Da Da Da" quickly pressed a few numbers, and spoke to the mobile phone very calmly.
"I'm stuck in the elevator again."
"9 buildings with one unit."
"Can you hurry? This is the third time this month! ”
……
What Hyundai Dume said again, she couldn't hear clearly, because she suddenly woke up from her dream!
Du Mei, who woke up, had a thin layer of sweat on his body, his hair was wet, sticking to his forehead, and the back of his clothes was also trendy. She turned over, lit the lamp with a fire fold, washed her face with the cold water in the basin, and wiped her body again.
There was a cup of water poured before going to bed on the table, and Du Mei sat down and held it in his hand, a trace of warmth transmitted to his heart through his fingertips.
The first time she thought of Chu Lin's injuries, was it also in the same dangerous situation as today, was he injured by the gangsters?
Will his injuries still itch on cloudy days?
Those scars will fade away, right?
He went back, why didn't he pass on any news to report his safety?
……
Du Mei's thoughts flew wildly, until the moon moved into the sky, and the bright moonlight shone into the room, like silver, brighter than the light. Du Mei suddenly came back to his senses, the water in his hands was cold, and his body was dry and slightly cool.
After blowing out the lamp, Du Mei went to bed and lay on his side, and after a while he fell into a deep sleep, breathing lightly like a feather flying in the air.
Without a dream until dawn, Du Mei got up early to clean up, because he had to bring more duck eggs, and the basket was definitely not enough, so Du Mei found two baskets and stacked the duck eggs in a circle, about two hundred.
Du Shu came early in the morning, and he deliberately wore a set of short fights that Xu Shi gave him two days ago today, and he looked very energetic. He skillfully set the ox cart and carried the two baskets onto the cart.
Xu asked him to have breakfast, and he excused himself and said that he had eaten, so Du Ying sent two white-flour steamed buns, and couldn't help but stuff them into his hands.
When he arrived in Sheshan Town, Niu Er had prepared three bags of flour in the morning, although he was still worried about what happened during his imprisonment, but when he heard Du Mei talk about the situation of the victims in Qinghe County, he couldn't bear it, because he had suffered and knew how difficult it was to lack food and drink, so he had to obey Du Mei's arrangement, and let the two stunned them step up their rice.
There were three bags of flour and two baskets of duck eggs on the ox cart, and Du Shu drove the ox cart and walked not fast. When passing by the bun shop, Du Mei saw that Lao Lin's family was looking at the roadside, and she hurriedly asked Du Shu to stop. At this time, Lao Lin also saw her and beckoned to her.
"What's wrong with you? Auntie is fine. Du Mei asked anxiously when he saw their family of three coming.
"It's okay, she's fine, your medicine really works, after drinking it for two days, it's all fine." Lao Lin Jin'er washed up well, shaved off his beard, and his hair was curled again, changing his previous sloppy appearance and looking stable.
"The medicine has to be drunk for a few days before it can go to the root, my aunt's body is exhausted by this disease, and she can't be tired, she needs to slowly bring it back." Du Mei gave the pulse, talked carefully, and wanted to untie the purse and give them money.
"Girl, don't break the bank, you haven't used up what you gave last time." Lao Lin's daughter-in-law held Du Mei's hand and said.
"Although the county government now gives two meals of porridge a day, your body can't recover with this alone." Du Mei turned his head to look at Lao Lin.
"We're going to leave here and go to the Imperial City, and we're here to say goodbye to you today." Lao Lin said, the seven-foot man's eyes were filled with moisture.
"Can't you stay here? That scoundrel is getting you in trouble? Du Mei asked anxiously, forgetting that Du Shu was still in front of her.
"No, no, the fellow who came with me found a job at the west wharf of Jiangling City, and we plan to go to him, but my brother has already gone." Lao Lin shook his head and said expectantly.
"It's all hard work on the docks, can you do it?" Du Mei looked at him and asked worriedly. I heard that he used to be a shopkeeper, but he didn't think he had done any of this.
