That's how things faded that day. Meizi's leg is almost fine, and the splint on her leg has been removed.

Zhou's because of the previous incident, he was always nagging in Meizi's ear, nagging in disguise, how good peace is. After knowing the rabbit that peace sent to Umeko. It's more about plums and peace. When Zhou was chattering, Meizi didn't hear it. Fortunately, now the splint has been removed, and the plums don't have to be confined at home every day. Not to mention how happy I am.

Zhou listened to the words that Tianhe Heping said that he would come to the door again when he had time. In the past few days, whenever Zhou is at home, as long as he hears movement at the door, he always raises his head and looks out of the gate with expectant eyes. In the disappointment again and again, I finally saw the facts. I think it's really like what my daughter said, and people just say it politely. Where is the heart to marry his own daughter! Zhou slowly became bearish. There is no longer the expectation at the beginning. But I still talk to Meizi from time to time.

What about peace! After returning home that day, I went to the county town the next day to report. and Lin Zheng are both newcomers. Complete the formalities at the county office. Then I looked for a house and bought some daily necessities. It's almost time to wait for these busy. On the pipeline to the next county, another robbery of the caravan came out to make trouble. The person who robbed this time was a big family in the next county. The two county magistrates have gathered to discuss what to do about this matter, and Heping and Lin Zheng, who have just entered the county government, are naturally rushing ahead.

The result of the discussion between the two county magistrates was. Split up. A group of people laid an ambush. A group of people dressed up as a caravan. In this way, in order to lure out the robbers, it took about ten days to stop and go on the road. At that time, a few more escaped fish. Peace, these catches can only be searched day and night in the mountains. The robbers were all too familiar with the mountains and forests on this road. The arrests of the two counties were almost forty or so people, and it took four or five days to find out the people. In this way, peace was missed at the best opportunity for the Zhou family.

In the past few days, the plywood of the plum has also been removed. Not to mention how much fun it is to run all over the mountain. The whole person is like a bird that has just come out of a cage.

During this time, the Zhou family took the braised eggs and bean sprouts to the county seat to sell, not to mention that the income was quite good. There must be more than 100 copper plates a day.

After breakfast this morning, the Meizi family was going to the county town to buy some food for the festival. There is also pension silver for Grandma Meizi. The family got up early. Hop on an ox cart and prepare for the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival.

The Dragon Boat Festival in this era is similar to modern times. To drink realgar wine, the folk believe that realgar wine can drive away demons and avoid evil, forming the custom of drinking realgar wine during the Dragon Boat Festival. At the same time, it is also necessary to smear children's cheeks, ears and noses with realgar wine, or write the word "king" on the forehead, which is compared to a fierce tiger to deter evil spirits. The folk will also spray the leftover realgar wine in the dark place of the corner of the house, or store it, and if there is an insect bite red and swollen in the day, it can be smeared to detoxify and reduce swelling.

Some families also add mugwort leaves, smoked grass and other raw materials to the realgar to make sachets for women and children to wear. The sachet is inhaled through the mouth and nose with the taste of medicine, so that the meridians are widespread, and the evil is dispelled and the righteousness is corrected, so as to achieve the effect of dispelling diseases and strengthening the body. And. Realgar, mugwort leaves, and smoked grass can volatilize a strange fragrance, and snakes and insects smell far away, which not only reduces the source of infection, but also plays a role in killing germs, eliminating sweat odor, and refreshing consciousness. Therefore, realgar wine should be prepared early to be used on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

In the past few days, there have been more people going to the county town, and everyone has gone to the market to buy things for the Dragon Boat Festival. Especially the wine that bubbles realgar. You must choose a good one, there is a time-honored brand in the county that sells wine very well, and there are people in the county who smell the fragrance of wine. Although none of the Meizi family likes to drink, they only drink once a year. Therefore, you should also leave early, so as not to be late and not be able to get in line. Can't buy alcohol.

There are a lot more people riding on ox carts today. Some people who have donkey carts have pulled them out, and they want to earn a few wine money for the festival. The Meizi family came relatively early and got on the ox cart. The family happily went to the market.

When he arrived at the bazaar, he gave money to the uncle who pulled the ox cart. The uncle saw that the bamboo and the second girl were young, so they received two less articles. On Tuesday, the river shirked, but it was not given. just gave the old man a few tea eggs that Zhou was going to sell. It's all the kindness of the old man.

The family went their separate ways. Tuesday River went to buy wine. Zhou took bamboo to buy things to be used and food to eat. Meizi and Erniu carried buckets of bean sprouts and sold braised eggs to the market to find stalls to buy things.

The girl looked at the back of Zhou's walking away with the bamboo. There was a little unhappiness on his face. Meizi also knows that this girl doesn't have the opportunity to go to the county seat a few times throughout the year. It's going to be a long way to come. I also have to sell things with myself. In the end, people are still young.

Meizi took Erniu's hand and looked at the little girl with a smile: "Don't look at it." I'll give you ten copper plates when I'm sold. Can you buy whatever you want? The unhappiness on Erniu's face when she heard Meizi's words was immediately eliminated, and she was full of joy, "I know that my sister is the best." ”

Meizi couldn't help but feel funny when she looked at the bouncing little girl, and Meizi glanced at the second girl. "Little pony. It's sweet in your mouth. ”

The two sisters went to the bazaar and found an open space to put their things away. There were a lot of people coming to the city today, and after a while, most of the eggs and bean sprouts were sold.

"Yo! What about the two chicks here? It's a water spirit, come and call me a good brother, and I won't charge you for this protection fee today. Meizi was busy loading eggs for people, and she didn't hear what the person next to her said. The second girl is small and has nothing to do. Those people spoke in a flirtatious tone. The clothes are not good to wear because of the hot weather, and most of the skin leaks. The hem of the placket of the dress was lifted high and pinned to the waistband of the trousers, and the expression on his face looked at the two Meizi sisters with malicious intent, and a pair of evil eyes swept over Meizi with great presumptuousness.

Meizi was pulled down by the second girl, and hurriedly gave the egg in her hand to the person, collected the money, turned her head and just happened to talk to the man.

Meizi looked at the person who came, neither humble nor arrogant, and spoke lightly. "Big brother, you see that it is not easy for our sisters to do business, so don't embarrass the little sister," the man's smile deepened when he heard Meizi's words. The three of them, the neighborhood's thugs, didn't do anything stealing, cheating, or doing anything evil. That is, to help the tiger master collect protection fees on this land. Many people saw them, and they were far away, so they ran away. Today is to see how good-looking the two little girls look good, and I teased them by the way. Someone else is going to be scared to cry by them. This little girl is good. And be polite to them. The thin and tall leader didn't feel much embarrassed when he saw Meizi so upright, and the Meizi sisters were not embarrassed. "Since the little sister is called, then I, the eldest brother, should also respond. In the future, as long as there is trouble on this street, you will come to Brother Deng and me, and you brother and I can still say a few words. ”

Meizi didn't expect these people to be so good at talking, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Hurry up perverted. "Thank you, Brother Deng, since Brother Deng doesn't charge my little sister's protection fee today. You see, if you don't dislike it, bring back the remaining braised eggs and let everyone taste them. It's also a thank you gift from my little sister to my eldest brother. ”

The man who called himself Brother Deng just now couldn't help but laugh when he heard Meizi's words. "Since the little sister has said so. Then you're welcome. Meizi didn't twist and hurriedly packed the remaining dozen or so eggs for people. It was handed to Brother Deng.

After waiting for them to leave, Er Niu looked at Meizi and said angrily: "Sister, how can you be like this!" Those are all gangsters, you are in front of so many people on the street, big brother, how bad it is for the little sister to scream! And you also gave all the eggs to the people. ”
