Chapter 09: The Past

"Thank you! Brother Song. After half a ring, Shen An'an said such a sentence in his mouth.

"Hey, that's right, call me Brother Song in the future, I like to listen." When Wang Song said this, his eyes became very bright.

Shen Anan suddenly felt that he was selling cuteness to a child, which was very shameful?

Wang Song didn't know what Shen An'an was thinking, he only felt very happy in his heart, and his whole body seemed to be full of strength that he had never had before. His tone became more and more gentle, and he said to Shen An'an: "Sister An, if you don't have enough, I'll go to the town to buy you a nest of silk candy to eat." ”

Nest candy? It's not for these poor children to eat.

Shen Anan thought of eating someone's egg just now, and hurriedly said, "I heard that the sugar is expensive, so it's okay not to eat it."

Wang Song said indifferently: "It's okay to eat once in a while." Besides, I went to pull goods today, and I didn't have money. ”

Shen Anan smiled, and said in his heart, it's only twenty yuan, what's the matter. However, he can still earn 20 yuan for pulling goods, and she can't even earn 10 yuan now, and I don't know if she can sell these rhubarb of hers today.

Seeing Shen An'an with a * bag at his feet, Wang Song took a look at it and asked, "Is this the rhubarb you got last time, why is there only so much?" ”

"Well, I heard that the herbs would sell better if they were treated, so I got them." Shen An'an replied.

"You can concoct herbs?" As Wang Song spoke, his eyes were fixed on Shen An'an again, as if he knew her for the first time. Then his men exerted force, and with a shout from his mouth, he stopped the ox cart at once.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Wang Song suddenly stop the car, Shen Anan couldn't help but be stunned.

And Wang Song's expression seemed to be a little excited, and after stopping the car, he hurriedly reached out and fiddled in the sack. I saw Shen Anan tie these rhubarb into two small bundles, tie them with ropes, and stack them neatly.

Wang Song saw the rhubarb that had been obviously treated with dark colors, and his expression was strange again. He didn't speak, he reached out and made a small piece of the rhubarb on the concocted rhubarb, just like Shen An'an, and then put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

Shen Anan vaguely knew that Wang Song's father was also a doctor before, but since they moved here, they had never said anything about his father. However, there are some rumors about his father in the village, as if they are treating dead people or something.

But Wang Song, his mother and son, kept silent about this matter.

Wang Song closed his eyes while chewing on rhubarb, as if reminiscing about what his father had told him when he was a child. In February, the curls are yellow and red, the leaves are four or four equal, the stem is three feet high, the flowers are yellow in March, and the flowers are black in May. Pick the roots in August, slice the yellow juice, and slice it to dry. The good ones are excellent for purple ground brocade, the taste is very bitter, and the color is strong. ”

Shen Anan couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, "This is talking about rhubarb, do you actually know?" ”

Seeing that Wang Song's mouth was bitter, he nodded hurriedly and said: "Actually, my father used to be a doctor, and I studied medicine with my father since I was a child. It's a pity that my father was framed later. ”

After speaking, Wang Songbian kept silent. He then silently caught up with the car.

Wang Song's father, Wang Heling, is a well-known doctor in Song County, and many people beg his father to treat people. At that time, their family was very busy, and the dignitaries who came to the door every day did not know how many, but unfortunately his father had an accident later. It is said that someone ate the medicine of their royal family and was eaten to death. All those who used to be close to his family have not disappeared.

Wang Song's father was angry and went to sue the official, and in the end, their family lost the lawsuit and were forced to scatter their family wealth. Wang Song's father couldn't swallow this breath, and on the way here, he fell ill and died.

Wang Song studied medicine with his father since he was a child, but unfortunately he was young at that time and did not learn much. However, his memory is surprisingly good, but he didn't expect that the rhubarb that he had just seen Shen An'an concocted would dig out the dream that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

Later, the mother and son of the Wang family were left here, and when they arrived in Taoyuan Village, their mother and son were almost penniless. They still begged the village chief, and then settled next door to the Shen family. Even the current earthen embryo house of the Wang family is all from the village, your family sends a brick, his family sends a few tiles, and some contribute manpower, and everyone supports it together.

"Do you have proof?"

Wang Song shook his head, when his father had an accident, he was only ten years old, and the things of that year, the people and things involved, he needed to ask his mother to know. But Aunt Liu was very taboo about this matter, so she never mentioned it.

"It's okay, as long as you have the heart to investigate, I think we will be able to find out the cause in the future."

Wang Song didn't expect Shen Anan to say this. He nodded, and mumbled in his mouth.

Wang Song thought that Shen Anan was just talking casually, and he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, what a thirteen-year-old girl said, how could he be but serious. But he felt strange in his heart, he and Shen Anan had known each other for several years, and her personality was very cowardly before, and she cried at every turn.

It's rare to see Shen An'an crying recently, but when will she use medicinal materials.

"By the way, how did you know how to concoct this rhubarb?"

Seeing that Wang Song really asked, Shen Anan immediately said: "I saw it from a book by accident, so I tried to do it." I don't know if it's the right thing to do. ”

Wang Song had taught Shen Anan to read and write, and he thought to himself that if Shen Anan saw the method of concocting from a certain medical book, and then tried this method, it would be quite normal. And when they found rhubarb on the mountain that day, Shen Anan also asked Wang Song if it was rhubarb, and he also nodded.

As for saying that Shen An'an can concoct rhubarb, it can only be said that she is talented.

Wang Song saw Shen An'an's hand and saw that her hand was wrapped in cloth, and he suddenly felt a little distressed.

"Silly girl, does it hurt, why don't you call me if you have something?" Wang Song called her like this, in fact, it was already a bit overstepping, but when he saw Shen An'an's hand become like this, he actually forgot it.

"What's the use of calling you, you can help me get it." After Shen An'an said this, she regretted it a little, because she saw that Wang Song had a calm face and stopped talking.

Shen An'an suddenly screamed in her heart that it was not good, because she had touched Wang Song's taboo.

It turned out that since the royal father's accident, Aunt Liu would rather let her son drive a car for others, do odd jobs, and earn some hard-earned money, rather than let her son follow his father's old path again. So doctor, what kind of herbs are taboo in their family.

And Wang Song is also very filial, and he has not touched anything about medicinal herbs over the years.

Unexpectedly, Shen An'an did this, but it aroused some thoughts on Wang Song's mind.
