Chapter 002: Calamity

The Liu family in the house was crying breathlessly, and he had to hold his stomach with both hands, not wanting to have another accident at this time.

Bai Gui and Bai Yan saw Ayusa's legs running over, and there was someone they could rely on to cry more fiercely than before.

Ayu rubbed the heads of the two little boys, and when she heard Liu Langzhong calling for hot water, she didn't care about anything else, so she hurried to the kitchen.

"What a sin."

The person who is in charge of the family is either a baby or a pregnant woman, and the villagers also sigh when they see it, and when they see that Ayu wants to boil water, someone goes in to help.

The white hunter was still lying on the door panel of the hall, waiting for the blood-stained warm water to be poured out of a dozen pots, and his wound was finally healed.

Liu Langzhong asked him to move him to the kang in the side room, looked at Liu's sad face, and sighed while prescribing medicine, "The breath I saved only lasted for a few days, if I really want hope, I have to get one or two ginseng plants to take with the medicine, so that he can last for ten days and half a month, maybe he can stay alive." ”

One or two ginseng plants can't survive 100%, and the onlookers all gasped, looking at the women and children in this room, they could only shake their heads and sigh.

Everyone knows very well what the situation of each family in the same village is, and there are many children in the white hunter family, and it is good to eat meat once except for the expenses, how can they still get the money to buy ginseng.

Those precious medicinal materials that can't be bought for ten taels or eight taels, the small plants cost twenty or thirty taels of silver, and the old ones are said to be hundreds.

Sure enough, when I heard that the ginseng Liu family was stunned, they sat silently on the edge of the bed, and waved their hands behind to let Ayu send Liu Langzhong out, as for the consultation fee, there was half a basket of eggs in the big urn, let Ayu carry it to him.

Bai Orion's family is like this, Liu Langzhong took pity on a few children, shook his head and confiscated it, and only said that when the man is better, he will return it to him then.

After sending away the people in the village, Ayu closed the courtyard door and returned to the house, where she saw her mother take out the small jar at the bottom of the pressure box, take out a purse from it and half-hang the copper coin.

"There are eight taels and six dollars here, you go to the pharmacy in the town and take a look, you can buy as much as you want."

Except for the crying and shouting at the beginning, Liu has calmed down, although his eyes are red and he sobs from time to time, his performance is quite strong.

"Mother, I see."

Ah Yu endured the sourness in her heart, and only rubbed her eyes when she went to the gate of the courtyard.

The family is in trouble, and the three little boys who are usually naughty and mischievous also seem to have grown up in an instant, nesting in the kitchen to cook on the fire, even if they can't eat, they can still take care of the pigs in the pen and the chickens and ducks in the backyard.

When Liu came out and saw this scene, his nose was sour again, and he took over the work from his son and asked them to go to the side room to guard.

It was not too far from Luojiao Village to Huangjiao Town, and Ayu walked in a hurry, and it took a total of half an hour to go back and forth.

"Mother, I bought the things back."

Ayu put down the medicine bag and took out the embroidered handkerchief in her arms, and when she opened it, she revealed a small half of ginseng and a little root.

The ginseng had already been sliced, and it looked like it was only the thickness of a little finger, and it was thought to be a young man, and it hadn't grown yet.

Liu bowed his head, asked his daughter to eat something, and took out the jar to prepare the medicine.

"Mother, I'll come."

Ayu didn't want to go, and she couldn't eat it.

Liu's sigh kept her busy, and she went to the hall to eat something.

Ayu washed the jar and burned the stove, waited for the water to be hot, put in the medicinal herbs, and then opened the embroidered handkerchief and put down the roots and two pieces of ginseng. Looking at the two lonely pieces, I thought that it was not enough to add another piece.

In this way, the ginseng bought back with eight taels of silver can only last for two or three days at most.

On the morning of the third day, when the medicine was boiled, only the last two pieces of ginseng were left in the embroidered handkerchief.

"Ayu, I'll look at it here, you go to Uncle He Shan next door and ask him to help see who wants a half-sized pig and sell the two pigs in the pen."

The husband is the heaven of the family, and the Liu family has never thought of giving up. After two days of precipitation, she has made some plans, and most of the sorrow on her face has dissipated, and it will only be revealed when she is silently sad.

Ayu went quickly, and in the afternoon, two families in the village came to buy pigs, and by the way, they asked for ducks in the backyard, and half of the twenty or so chickens went. If it weren't for the fact that the Liu family would have to give birth to a baby and be confined, it is estimated that it would be all sold.

These are almost the most valuable things in the family, and in the afternoon, Ayu went to the town again, bringing back two packets of medicine and half of ginseng.

This half of the ginseng lasted for four days.

In the meantime, the white hunter woke up once, couldn't speak, drank a small half bowl of rice soup, and the person fell into a coma again.

Ayu went to Liu Langzhong's house and told him about the situation, Liu Langzhong only said that it was a good thing, and let them continue to use medicine and hang ginseng.

There is still medicine, but this ginseng ......

Ayu walked on the way home, a little stunned, a little sad, and a little confused.

"Ayu, Ayu......"

Someone dragged his arm, Ayu raised his head and looked at the fifteen or sixteen man in front of him, and his dull beautiful eyes finally had a trace of clarity.

"Brother Xiaolin."

The person whose surname is Xiao Minglin, who is in the same village as Ayu, is still a fiancé who has been married, but the Bai family has had an accident for so long, and the Xiao family has not said anything these days, and there has been no movement.

"Ayu, you also know that I went out to work with my brother-in-law, and I only came back this morning, and I just heard about my uncle."

Xiao Lin explained, but Ayu shook her head at the corner of her mouth, she heard the wind about the attitude of the Xiao family, and she knew all the scolding of her mother outside the hospital.

The fourteen-year-old girl's face is like a begonia flower and a willow flower, her round face is like a distant daisy, and her eyes are like paint. At this time, those watery eyes were blurred, and I felt pity between them.

With such a fiancée, Xiao Lin instantly threw what his mother said before into his mind, clenched his fists and said, "Ayu, don't worry, I'll go home and tell my mother and let her come to the door." ”

Although there was no explicit mention of borrowing money, it was almost the same meaning, Ayu was grateful in her heart, and the corners of her mouth finally hooked up a happy arc.

"Brother Xiaolin, I, I'll wait for you."

"Hmm."

Xiao Lin ran away, left for a while, and then turned back to wave to Ayu, asking her to wait at home.

Ayu smiled, like a flower.

She really went back to wait, but she waited from morning to afternoon, and she didn't see anyone from the Xiao family coming to the door.

Ayu's heart gradually became cold, and when she heard her mother's soft sobs coming from the side room, she put down the needlework basket and went out to Xiao's house in the back village.

The Xiao family is a wealthy family in Luolu Village, with more than ten acres of fertile land outside, three blue brick houses inside, wide courtyards and wide houses, and not many people.

Ayu hesitated in front of the courtyard gate, and was hesitating whether to knock on the door, when she heard some scolding and banging on the door from inside.

Those scolding are not very good, accusing Xiao Lin of being stupid and brainless, disgusted that the Bai family is poor, and dragging others down, and bluntly saying that the marriage should be stopped.

Hearing this, Ayu no longer planned to stay, and silently turned around and went to Lizheng's house on the slope.
