Mingyue changed the wound medicine on the leg of the young master of the Xu family, and allowed Mrs. Xu and the others to come in, and explained her ideas to the small stool, and was beckoned by Mrs. Xu to the front hall to sit down and drink tea, waiting for the lime and yellow mud to be retrieved.

This time Mrs. Xu was thoughtful, and ordered to go down early to prepare lunch for the two, Zhang Langzhong Mingyue thought that this lime was on the side of Daliang Mountain, there was a distance, and I was afraid that it would be time to come back, so they didn't refuse, neither of them wanted to be like last time, hungry chest against back.

After Mrs. Xu left, Zhang Langzhong asked Mingyue in a curious whisper, "This medicine has been changed, and there is no problem, what do you want lime and yellow mud for?" ”

Mingyue explained, "Plaster is to mix lime with mud and water to turn it into clay and apply it to the outside of the injured leg. ”

Zhang Langzhong said, "What should I do if I change the dressing?" ”

Mingyue said, "You don't need to change the dressing in a short time, just change it again in half a month." ”

Zhang Langzhong nodded knowingly, and said with some concern, "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, if you don't change the dressing, will the wound become inflamed?" ”

Mingyue thought about this ancient condition, but she didn't expect this, and sighed lightly, "It's still Uncle Zhang's thoughtfulness, let's come back in ten days, and explain to Young Master Xu when the plaster is applied in a while, if the wound has severe itching or pain symptoms, send someone to call us over in time." ”

Zhang Langzhong said, "Okay, a doctor, even if you receive a consultation, we still have to be dedicated." ”

Mingyue nodded obediently and responded, "Yes, Uncle Zhang, Mingyue remembered." ”

Before the lime was retrieved, Zhang Langzhong and Mingyue stayed at Xu's house for lunch, which was very hearty, and Mingyue of course would not be polite, and had a full meal.

It was Mrs. Xu who accompanied the two of them for lunch, and Xu Yuanwai did not appear, it is estimated that Xu Yuanwai was too reckless a few times, so that Mrs. Xu was afraid that Xu Yuanwai would offend Zhang Langzhong and Mingyue, so she didn't treat her son's legs carefully, so she simply didn't let Xu Yuanwai come out, Mingyue felt quite satisfied, lest Xu Yuanwai appear diaphragm.

When the lime is recovered, Mingyue mixes the lime and mud with water, and forms clay, and then finds two pieces of bamboo, fixes them on the kneecaps of the legs with cloth strips, wraps a circle of cloth, and evenly coats the clay around the kneecaps, and then asks people to find two sheets, tie them to the top of the bed and hang them down, hang the two feet from the bare position, and let the kneecaps of the two legs hang in the air.

After everything was in order, Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief and said to the people who were still dumbfounded, "It's okay." ”

Young Master Xu finally came back to his senses, tried to support his body and looked at his hanging legs, and said with black lines on his head, "I won't want to be like this all the time, right?" ”

Mingyue nodded, and began to instruct the idea, "I can't move like this for the past few days, after a few days, I can put it down when the mud on my legs is completely dry, and I will come over with my father-in-law to change the medicine in ten days, and send someone to go back with us to get the oral medicine in a while." Also, pay more attention to yourself, and if you feel that something is wrong with your legs, send someone to find us. ”

Young Master Xu said with a dark face, "I feel that something is wrong now." ”

Mingyue didn't hear it, and said to Mrs. Xu on the side, "Mrs. Xu also help pay more attention, let's leave first." Uncle Zhang, let's go. ”

Mrs. Xu nodded and thanked the two, then sent the two out of Xu's mansion, called a carriage to send the two back to the outer mountain village, and went to get medicine by the way.

When she arrived at the door of the blacksmith shop, Mingyue asked the coachman to stop the carriage and wait, and went into the blacksmith shop by herself, it was still the woman who was watching the shop at the door, Mingyue greeted with a smile, "Miss Li, is my brother here?" ”

Then Miss Li got up with a smile and said, "Sister Yue is here, Brother Yao is inside, I'll take you in." ”

Mingyue was a little unaccustomed, she wasn't so polite when she saw her last time, but today she called it so affectionately, and enthusiastically took herself in, but she still smiled quietly and thanked her, and followed Miss Li into the backyard.

"Brother Yao, Sister Yue is here to find you." As soon as she passed through the back door of the store, the girl of the Li family began to shout, and she was very affectionate.

Mingyue remembered the attitude of this girl last time she came with her eldest brother, and then looked at the attitude of this girl today, and secretly said in her heart, "There must be a story!" ”

When he entered the backyard, he saw the two people busy on the blacksmith table next to the iron-melting furnace and the iron-melting furnace in the yard, so he stopped thinking nonsense, said hello to Uncle Li, and went over to Mingyao's side, "Big brother, what's wrong?" ”

Ming Yao stopped what he was doing, took out a bow and crossbow from the blacksmith table, handed two iron arrows to Ming Yue, and said, "Make one, try it." ”

Mingyue's eyes lit up, she took the bow and crossbow and made a gesture in her hand, then loaded the iron arrow, found a tree a little farther away in the yard to aim, pulled the mechanism, and the iron arrow shot out quickly and deeply into the trunk.

Blacksmith Li was still stunned to look at the iron arrow that shot out, and Miss Li was leaning against the door behind the shop and was already jumping and clapping her hands, "Wow, Sister Yue, you shot so accurately!" ”

Blacksmith Li also came back to his senses at this time, and said to Mingyue on the side, "Niece Yue's archery is so accurate, it's really unseemly." ”

Mingyue thought that she was too reckless, and she was too excited to see the finished bow and crossbow and iron arrows, so she actually tried the arrow on the spot, quickly grabbed her hair modestly, and said, "I was lucky." ”

Mingyao changed the topic on the side, "How did you get to town today?" What is it like at home? ”

Mingyue said, "Come over with Uncle Zhang to treat the legs of the young master of the Xu family, and I was about to go back, so I just came over to take a look." The family is very good. ”

Mingyao nodded and said, "Is Uncle Zhang still outside?" Then you hurry back, don't let Uncle Zhang wait too long, take this bow and crossbow back and use it first, and I will play another bow and crossbow with Master, and fight a few more iron arrows, and we will be able to come back tomorrow night." ”

Mingyue nodded, remembering that the crossbow and iron arrow had not been paid yet, and it was not easy to ask the eldest brother about this matter, so she said to Blacksmith Li, "Uncle Li, how much silver does this bow and arrow cost?" ”

Blacksmith Li said, "This thing also takes a lot of work, the material is not very expensive, a bow and crossbow also uses more than 500 yuan of iron, which is 500 Wen, and the iron used for iron arrows is finer, more than 700 Wen, even if it is 700 Wen." ”

Mingyue calculated in her heart, this bow and crossbow and an arrow are almost one or two silver, and it only counts the cost of iron, not counting wood and manual fees, and now there are more than two taels of silver in her hand, if you play a few more, it seems that it is not enough, it seems that she has to find a way to make some money first.

Mingyue smiled and thanked her, "Thank you, Uncle Li, I'll come over tomorrow afternoon to settle the bill, big brother, you wait for me tomorrow, and we'll go back together when the time comes." ”

Mingyao nodded in response and urged, "It's not early, let's go back quickly." ”

Mingyue nodded and said, "Then Uncle Li, big brother, I'll go first." Then he took the bow and crossbow in his hand and an iron arrow, and then went to pull out the iron arrows from the tree, and with great effort he pulled them out, and hid the bow and arrows in his sleeves, and then he went out of the blacksmith shop.

On the carriage, Mingyue wanted to make money by picking herbs, and she didn't know what herbs were valuable, so she asked, "Uncle Zhang, what are the more precious medicinal materials today?" ”

Zhang Langzhong thought for a while and said, "Precious, ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum are more precious, because they generally grow in the deep mountains, and it takes many years to form, and there is a legendary precious medicinal material, called Snow Lotus, which grows on the snow-capped mountains that are extremely cold in winter, and it is said that there are snow-capped mountains in the depths of the Daliang Mountains, but that place is very dangerous, and no one dares to go." These are all legends, and I don't know if they're true or not. ”

After listening to Uncle Zhang's words, Mingyue thought in her heart, forget about Snow Lotus, it's not sure if there is one, and it's still in the extremely cold Snow Mountain, ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum can go to Daliang Mountain to find it if they have the opportunity, but now they are not free, and they don't dare to enter casually in the deep mountains, and they need to be fully prepared, this little life of their own is very precious.

"What about ordinary medicinal herbs? Does anyone take it? Mingyue continued to ask.

Zhang Langzhong said, "The big pharmacies in the county town also collect ordinary medicinal materials, but the prices vary, the slightly rare and precious medicinal materials will be more expensive, and as for the common medicinal materials, most of them are picked and sold, and they are not worth much." Are you planning to sell medicine? ”

Mingyue nodded and said, "Now that there is no land, I can only rely on this Daliang Mountain to live, and there should be a lot of prey medicinal materials in the mountain." ”

Zhang Langzhong said, "You still have to be careful when you live in the mountains, and it's best to take some precautions around." ”

Mingyue said, "During this time, the family is busy here, planning to fence the cave with wood and make traps around it." ”

Zhang Langzhong nodded and said in agreement, "That's good, I don't have anything to do tomorrow, and I will go up the mountain to help when the time comes." ”

Mingyue shook her head, "No, no, what if someone asks Uncle Zhang for a consultation?" Besides, so many people in our family are idle now, and there is no shortage of manpower. ”

Zhang Langzhong thought that what Mingyue said was also reasonable, if someone wanted to see a doctor, but he was not there, I was afraid that few people would dare to go up to Daliang Mountain to call themselves, so he had to dispel this idea and change the topic, "I said that I would accept you as a righteous daughter, but it has been delayed until now, and when your family is almost busy, talk to your family and discuss." ”

Mingyue thought about the situation at home and said, "Why don't you come in a while, I'll bow to you, my mother also agreed, so I don't have to do those false courtesies." ”

Zhang Lang Zhongyuan wanted to do a ceremony for Mingyue to accept her decently, and also hoped to give Mingyue enough face, so that Mingyue's mother and son could have a better time in the Ming family, but now seeing that Mingyue is so capable, I am afraid that the Ming family is her decision, so she nodded and responded, "Okay, just do as you say." ”

The carriage was fast, the two were talking, and they arrived at Zhang's house, and the groom was still waiting to get the medicine back, so he beckoned the coachman to take a break in the front yard, and the two went into the pharmacy to grab the medicine.

The prescriptions were all prepared before, and the two of them just grabbed the medicine according to the previous pharmacy, and soon the medicine was grasped, and the amount of ten days was given to the coachman, and the dosage was explained, and then the coachman was sent away.
