Chapter 14 A pot of coarse grain porridge with wild vegetables

"Ah, when I was sleeping last night, a night cat jumped into my room, maybe it's coming again!" Hua Manxi was in a hurry, and hurriedly said nonsense, "I'll take a broom and drive her away." ”

After saying that, she picked up a bamboo broom from the side and went to the room.

"Manxi, that wild cat is very fierce, let me catch it, if it bites you, it won't be good." The eldest aunt was worried.

Obediently, if you let your aunt know that there is a beautiful man hidden in her room, then you have to do it!

"No need, aunt, you cut the pig vegetables, anyway, my room hasn't been cleaned for a long time, I'll sweep the floor by the way, if people see my aunt helping me sweep the floor, how ugly it is, and if this lazy reputation spreads again, I won't be able to get married." Hua Manxi pinched her aunt's death hole and talked nonsense seriously.

"Go ahead, then, be careful." Sure enough, as soon as the eldest aunt heard that it was about her reputation and family affairs, she immediately became angry, and obediently returned to the original small bench to cut the pig vegetables.

Hua Manxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pretended to take a broom and hurried back to his room, and said to himself: "I'll close the door and beat the cat, see where you run!" ”

As the words fell, she clicked the door shut.

Putting the broom in his hand, Hua Manxi rushed up with an arrow, only to see that the person who was supposed to be lying on the bed was already lying on the ground at this time.

"Hey, big brother, I didn't tell you a thousand times, I want you to be careful not to make a noise, you're good, this sleep is also bad! If you make such a loud noise, you're going to kill me! Hua Manxi stared at the curled up body on the ground, and whispered through gritted teeth.

However, the person on the ground did not reply, but trembled violently a few times, and his whole body trembled.

This situation doesn't seem right, Hua Manxi secretly screamed in his heart.

stepped forward and turned his face, only to see Xu Jinfei's face covered with cold sweat, and he kept coughing up blood in his mouth.

"Xu Gongzi, Xu Gongzi-" Where had Hua Manxi seen such a battle, he was suddenly a little panicked, helped him to the bed in a panic, and found a towel to wipe the blood stains from his mouth for him.

The fingers touched his skin, it was terrifyingly hot, Hua Manxi's heart went up and down, stretched out his palm and touched his forehead, and sure enough, it was already hot enough to fry an egg!

It's over, it's over, fever and vomiting blood, she can't handle it!

Hua Manxi clutched the towel tightly, paced back and forth on the side of the bed for a few steps, gritted his teeth, but still rushed out, grabbed his aunt's hand, and said with a serious expression: "Uncle, I have something to tell you." ”

"What's wrong? Panicked? Didn't you ask the night cat to bite you? The eldest aunt put down the kitchen knife.

"No, yes - that, I was on the mountain that day, chased and killed by gangsters, fortunately rescued by a son, the son was seriously injured, there was nowhere to go last night, follow me back, now he is dying, aunt, you go and call a doctor, otherwise you will die!"

"What?" When the eldest aunt heard this, she stumbled and almost fell.

She looked at Hua Manxi, stretched out her hand and pointed at her, and was about to say something, but she thought of something else, withdrew her hand hatefully, and ran towards Hua Manxi's room at a faster pace.

Sure enough, there was a young man lying on the bed, who had already passed out, and although he was embarrassed, he couldn't hide his delicate eyebrows.

With such an appearance, even if Ding Xiucai came to him, he had to be lined with weeds.

The eldest aunt chuckled in her heart, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Full Stream! Did you lie to your aunt? She turned around, her always loving gaze a little more reproachful, "This son, he, is he your good friend?" Being chased and killed has affected you? I'll just say, our Hua family are all honest croppers, how could we make enemies with others and let you suffer so badly? ”

"This, uncle, where do you think of it?" Hua Manxi wailed, "There are really thieves on the mountain, I went to dig wild vegetables yesterday and met it, and I was almost killed, fortunately this son rescued me, I was afraid that you were worried so I didn't say it!" ”

"What?" The eldest aunt was frightened, but she was still a little suspicious, "Really didn't lie to my aunt?" This boy looks so handsome—"

"Oh, aunt, his life is at stake, he has fainted now, aunt, you should hurry up and ask for a doctor, if you die in our house, it will be troublesome." Hua Manxi stomped her foot and pushed her.

What else did the eldest aunt want to say, but seeing that Hua Manxi was in a hurry, she sighed, and then sped up to find the doctor.

Hua Manxi saw his aunt go out, and went to the well to get a basin of cold water, and used a towel to wipe Xu Jinfei's body repeatedly to cool down, during which Xu Jinfei woke up in a daze, Hua Manxi poured him a bowl of water, he saw Hua Manxi's face with ointment in a daze, and his heart was a little relieved, but he passed out again.

The doctor finally came, took Xu Jinfei's pulse, looked at the wound again, and was very embarrassed: "This son's external injury festers and causes high fever, as for coughing up blood, it seems that he has been poisoned in his body, and such a poisonous old man has never been contacted, and he is not sure, you should ask for another master." ”

It's so troublesome, Hua Manxi is very embarrassed, but he promised himself to give her a hundred taels of silver! If he hangs up, where will she get the money?

She is still counting on using this money to do some small business and take the flower family to a well-off!

"Doctor, if this poison is not solved, how long can he live?" Hua Manxi looked at the doctor who shook his head again and again, his heart trembled with fright, and he asked in a weak voice.

"Looking at it now, it looks like a chronic poison, which will make him vomit blood, curl up, and be weak when he attacks, and he will not worry about his life for the time being." The doctor carefully checked the pulse again, stroked his beard and said.

"Then please ask the doctor to prescribe medicine to reduce his fever first, and this poison will depend on his creation in the future." Hua Manxi breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly.

As long as the fever is reduced first, and when he is sober, he will find his family, and there will definitely be a way to detoxify.

The doctor nodded, wrote the prescription neatly, and handed it to Hua Manxi: "I have the medicine of this prescription at home, I will match it for you first, you will go with me to get it, and he will also need to use some ointment for the wound on his back." ”

"Okay, thank you, doctor." Hua Manxi nodded again and again.

"Doctor Xie." The eldest aunt who had been standing on the side looked extremely uncomfortable and said, "You also know the situation in my family, this consultation fee - there is a hen in my yard, can it be used to offset this consultation fee?" ”

"This—the cost of this medicine is only sixty cents." Doctor Xie sighed, this Hua family is really poor, he showed Boss Hua's legs that day, he saw it, he didn't count the consultation money, and all he used was medicine money!

"I have, I have, sixty wen!" Hua Manxi hurriedly took out his purse from his arms and ordered 60 of the 100 Wen returned by Ding Xiucai to Dr. Xie.

"Manxi, where did you get the money?" The eldest aunt didn't expect her to come up with a hundred dollars.

"It's this son's, he wants me to save him!" Hua Manxi was naturally embarrassed to say that she went to Ding Xiucai to get it back, and her aunt might want her to go to Ding's house to make amends!

"Today's matter, I hope the doctor doesn't say it, this person's identity is mysterious, and saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter." Hua Manxi followed the doctor out of the door and pleaded in a low voice.

"Hey, you are all like this, and you have the kindness to save people, why am I talking so much?" Doctor Xie sighed slightly.

After Hua Manxi got the medicine and ointment, he thanked him again, and then he took the medicine and went home quickly, and let the eldest aunt pour the decoction into Xu Jinfei and drink it, but the ointment, the eldest aunt didn't let her apply it, saying that it was not kissed by men and women, and she also strictly ordered Hua Manxi to sleep in another room with her cousin tonight!

Hua Manxi was already sweating a little when he touched Xu Jinfei's high fever, and the fever would subside in a while, and his heart fell to the same place.

After a day of tossing, her stomach was rumbling with hunger, and when she arrived at the stove, she rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and the remaining rice was not enough to cook another meal.

It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice! Even if she is a good cook, she can't cook a delicious meal in this place where there is not even enough rice!

Hua Manxi felt so poor that he was trembling!

Finally she rummaged through the kitchen and found a few sweet potatoes and a few corn cobs.

She peeled and cleaned the corn kernels, put them in a pot with all the rice in the rice jar, peeled and cut the sweet potatoes, and poured them into the porridge after boiling and boiled them together.

There were still some wild vegetables left from yesterday's picking, and after cooking the porridge, Hua Manxi rubbed the wild vegetables with salt to remove the bitterness, chopped them, and sprinkled them in.

A large pot of steaming coarse grain porridge was brought out, and Uncle Hua and Hua Xiaosong happened to come back.

"Eat, eat." Hua Manxi came out with the pot and called.

"Why did you boil the porridge?" Uncle Hua frowned, and after a moment, he asked, "Is there no rice in the rice jar?" ”

As soon as Uncle Hua's words fell, the faces of the whole family collapsed, and they were covered with a layer of deep sorrow.

"Boss, I have some money here, you can buy some rice tomorrow, or sell the chickens outside?" The eldest aunt groped out of her purse and poured out all the copper plates inside, which was only a few pennies in total.

"I still have it here." Uncle Hua frowned tightly, and his voice was helpless, "There is still money to buy rice, which is the five taels of silver in Manxi——"

"Uncle, aunt, let's buy rice first, you can't even eat for my five taels of silver." Hua Manxi lowered his eyebrows and put a big bowl of coarse grain porridge in the pot, "I'll bring some porridge to my benefactor to drink first, and my aunt will tell my uncle about it." ”

After speaking, she went to her room with a large bowl of coarse grain porridge.

At this end, the eldest aunt frowned and said that Hua Manxi was rescued by Xu Jinfei, and that she had taken Xu Jinfei in, and at that end, Hua Manxi had just brought the porridge to the room, and the person on the bed woke up quietly.

Xu Jinfei only felt like he had fought a protracted battle, his whole body was collapsed and sore, and he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand.

He struggled to open his eyelids, just in front of Hua Manxi's ointment-coated face.
