Chapter 12: The Moth

Qiao Xiu's footsteps paused, and he came over with the water that had been washed and splashed on Erya: "I can't tolerate you, do you want to go back and practice fox kung fu again?" ”

Erya was soaking wet, and the bowl of pancakes was filled with muddy water.

She was furious: "Qiao Xiu, are you crazy? ”

"I'm just crazy, what can you do? I'm just splashing you, what are you going to do? ”

This is obviously anger, Er Ya hit Qiao Xiu's muzzle, and she must be unlucky.

Qiao Xiu is Aunt Wang's daughter, and Erya is so angry that she grinds her teeth and doesn't dare to do anything with her. She was so aggrieved that her eyes were red, and she shouted with a crying voice: "Aunt Wang, look at Qiao Xiu." ”

Aunt Wang hurried out when she heard the movement, she glared at Qiao Xiu fiercely, and scolded: "You little hoof, why don't you apologize to Erya soon?" ”

Qiao Xiu rolled her eyes at Erya, went over and took the carambola's arm and left.

She said in the ear of star fruit: "Don't be complacent, I just can't get used to Erya's virtue." You bully people, and I won't forgive you easily. ”

Qiao Xiu's hand was wrapped around star fruit's arm, and it instantly filled her hollowed out heart.

She held Qiao Xiu's hand tightly, and there was a satisfied smile in her eyes: "Xiu'er, you are so good." ”

"What's the use of me?" I'm good, you won't be my sister-in-law.

Qiao Xiu snorted coldly and said goodbye, but never let go of the hand holding the star fruit.

She said: "Star fruit, you can't be so ruthless, you can't!" ”

Star fruit eye sockets are straight and sour: marriage since ancient times, the words of the matchmaker of the parents. What can she do if she isn't ruthless? Really hooked Qiao An to let go of everything and revolve around her, really hooked Qiao An to hurt Aunt Wang's heart and cut off her future?

Carambola smiled helplessly, and reached out to scrape Qiao Xiu's round nose: "Aside from your brother, we can also be good sisters, right?" ”

Qiao Xiu looked at the star fruit with a tangled face, and the star fruit leaned her head on her shoulder and coquettishly: "Good sister, if you ignore my words, I will let Erya bully her to death." ”

"She dares!"

The star fruit smiled with a smile on her face, and her heart was warm......

Erya watched Qiao Xiu leave like this, and held hands with star fruit intimately, she was so angry that she cried "wow": "Auntie, auntie, Qiao Xiu is too bullying." I kindly brought her leek pancakes. ”

Aunt Wang took a handkerchief and wiped Erya's head, and coaxed: "Xiu'er is spoiled by me, don't be like her." I'm soaking wet, so go back and change your clothes. ”

"What about star fruit? You said yesterday that you don't want to see her again, why is this Qiao Xiu still so good with her? ”

Aunt Wang's eyes were a little complicated when she looked at Erya, and she stopped her movements and said with a cold face: "You can remember my angry words clearly, you have to put that mind on learning things, and you won't even be as good as a single hair of star fruit." ”

Erya was scolded so much that she forgot to cry, her face was hot, and she looked at Aunt Wang in a daze.

"You go back and think about it first, and then come back after you figure it out. People are watching the sky, and virtue is not corrected, and sooner or later it will harm others and themselves. ”

Aunt Wang threw down the veil and turned around and left, not caring about the second girl who was like being struck by lightning.

Erya stood alone in the middle of the courtyard, the sun shining on her soaked body, unspeakably uncomfortable.

She stood there for a moment, then broke down and rushed out. Out of the courtyard gate, she kicked the wall of Qiao's house fiercely: "Virtuous and decent, you are virtuous and decent, and you cooperate with me to squeeze star fruit?" Old godly woman, dead animal. ”

Aunt Wang did what she said, she really didn't let star fruit do chores anymore, she was injured in her hand and read in the study in the afternoon.

When it was time to go home, Aunt Wang came to teach star fruit homework, but saw her squatting on the side of a pile of waste medicine residue to pick up things.

"What are you doing doing here? Dozens of broken medicine bases are poured together, can you still tell that a flower is not coming? ”

The star fruit showed the dustpan beside her to Aunt Wang: "I saw that I was tired and came out to rest my brain, and by the way, I picked up the dregs that could be used." Although it can't be sold, it's still possible to help the villagers who are really poor. ”

Aunt Wang has a good heart, many poor people come to grab medicine on credit, and many accounts are dead on credit, and they don't come back.

"These medicines don't look good, but they won't affect the properties of the medicine, and they can be used."

Aunt Wang felt that star fruit was simply talking in a dream: "These slags are almost powdered, who can tell what is what?" ”

Although she was disdainful, she looked into the dustpan with face, and she was shocked at this look.

There are dozens of Jiuliming plants in the dustpan, each of which is made up of hundreds of small fragments.

Aunt Wang looked at the star fruit in shock, picked one and carefully examined all the fragments, and there were many of which she couldn't tell if it was Jiu Liming or not.

So she pointed to the uncertain fragment and said: "Star fruit, medicine is not child's play, if you use the wrong prescription and the wrong amount, it will kill you." Just these things, the crumbs that can't even tell whether they are leaves or rhizomes, how dare you put them in Jiuliming? ”

The star fruit picked up a small piece of debris and handed it to Aunt Wang, and said with a shy smile: "Auntie, you see, there are star-like pubescence here, with mesh texture, put it on the tip of the tongue to taste, the taste is bitter and slightly astringent, it must be nine miles clear." ”

Aunt Wang took a closer look, isn't it what star fruit said.

"But there is more than one kind of herb with stellate pubescence and mesh texture, and there is more than one kind of herb with bitter taste and slight astringency."

Carambola scratched her braids embarrassedly, and said with a shy smile: "This pile of medicinal residue was thrown out of today's processing of medicinal materials, and among the sixty-eight kinds of medicines we handled today, only Jiu Liming has this characteristic." ”

Aunt Wang went back and took today's detailed notebook, carefully looked at the medicinal materials processed today, and then was stunned and speechless on the spot.

To pick out Jiu Liming from the sixty-eight kinds of broken medicinal residues, she had to have a detailed understanding of all the sixty-eight kinds of medicinal materials. From the texture to the fluff, from the plaque to the toughness, from the smell to the medicinal properties, there is a blur, and she can't do it.

This star fruit!

Aunt Wang was shocked, she went back to the warehouse to cut up twenty kinds of herbs with similar shapes and smells, and the confusion was so bad that she couldn't pick them herself, and then brought them to the star fruit: "There are twenty flavors of medicine here, you fight in front of me, a stick of incense, I'll see how much you can spell." ”

Aunt Wang is deliberately embarrassing people, and the difference between the things she takes out is as small as that between domestic onions and wild onions.

After carefully distinguishing the star fruit, her brows couldn't help frowning.

Aunt Wang lit the incense, and then sat quietly and drank tea: she wanted to see how familiar the star fruit was with herbs, whether the girl was pretending or really meticulous to the point of outrageousness.

The time soon came, and there were only eight herbs in front of the star fruit, but there was no mistake or omission in the whole beard and tail.

After Aunt Wang carefully examined it, she secretly admired it in her heart.

"If you were given enough time, could you put all these twenty herbs together?"

Star fruit didn't dare to hold it up, pursed its lips and thought for a long time, and then replied cautiously: "These twenty herbs are recorded in the Shennong Materia Medica, and I have processed them by hand, so I should be able to spell them out after a little time." ”

Aunt Wang was almost shocked: "You are familiar with all the three hundred and sixty-five flavors recorded in Shennong's Materia Medica?" ”

Not only Shennong's Materia Medica, but also the Compendium of Materia Medica and the Materia Medica, I also know everything about it.

Star fruit is still very confident in her skills, but she knows that the sea of learning is vast, and she does not dare to be arrogant: "I can memorize what is written in the book, but some medicinal materials have not been handled in person and have not been compared with the real thing." So, it's okay to talk on paper, but if I really want to spell out three hundred and sixty-five kinds, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. ”

Aunt Wang looked at the eight herbs in front of her, and then looked at the star fruit with a sincere and not proud face. At this moment, the shock and vibration in her heart was very huge.

She had a strong premonition that this star fruit would definitely not be something in the pool.

"From tomorrow onwards, you will follow me to learn acupuncture. Books in the study you can take home and read. ”

It was a bonus.

Carambola looked at Aunt Wang excitedly, and her eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky.

"You have a solid foundation, pay more attention to the prescriptions sent back by the town in the future, look at it for a month, and go to the shop to start quickly."

Carambola was originally afraid that Aunt Wang would think she was too ambitious, so she didn't dare to move the box containing the prescription at all. Now that she had Aunt Wang's permission, she jumped up for joy.

"I'll get here today, and I'll go back soon."

As a witness, Qiao Xiu has long admired star fruit and sent star fruit out happily.

The second girl was waiting at the door with a cloth bag, and when she saw the star fruit coming out, she hurriedly greeted her, lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "Sister star fruit, I was wrong, I really shouldn't treat you like that today, can you forgive me?" ”

As he spoke, he stuffed the cloth bag into the carambola's arms: "I made the sweet potato cake you like to make amends, you must accept it." ”

Qiao Xiu flattened her mouth and raised her voice: "Some people's things are inedible and poisonous!" ”

She didn't care if Erya would be so embarrassed that she couldn't raise her head, and went back to the house after saying goodbye to star fruit affectionately.

The star fruit didn't take Erya's cake, and said with a smile: "You keep it for yourself, no one's rations are much, and your brother and sister have their mouths open, so you don't have to give it to me." ”

"Sister Carambola, don't be angry with me, okay?" She stuffed the cloth bag into the carambola's arms, dragged her to the side and said, "I was good to you after the accident at your house, didn't I say a bad word to you, right?" Your family is innocent now, and I haven't been kicked by a donkey, why don't I feel happy with you? ”

Carambola smiled: "I know, I didn't feel at ease." ”

"You're still misunderstanding me." Erya was so anxious that she stomped her feet, dragged the star fruit and walked further before whispering: "It was Aunt Wang who told me to bully you." She said she didn't want to see you again, and asked me to find a way to squeeze you away, and said that if I couldn't do anything, I wouldn't have to come again.

You know, if I lose this job, my family will sell me, and I can't ......."

Aunt Wang, I still need to use this kind of subordinate?

Carambola watched Erya's performance coldly, as funny as Ugly Dan but didn't know it.

Thinking that she was also a poor person, star fruit couldn't help but want to mention her a few words: "People's hearts still have to be kind, and if you can't be kind, at least be sincere." Cleverness will be mistaken by cleverness, even if everyone in the world is a fool, a fool can distinguish who is guilty and who is evil. ”

"You don't believe me?" Erya's face was flushed, and she didn't know whether she was ashamed or annoyed.

It is taboo to talk shallow and deep, and it is too much to talk without speculation.

Carambola sighed lightly: "I didn't believe it, and I really didn't get angry with you." I'll be gone next month, so you really don't need to bother with me. ”

After a tired day, I was really in no mood to deal with her, so the star fruit crossed over and left.

When I ran away this morning, I had to think of ways to avoid the thunder and wrath and save her fine skin and tender flesh!
