Chapter 12: Go to Town

"Tell you the truth." Xia Wanqing has never been a soft-hearted person, Wang Guihua has repeatedly provoked herself, and she is ready to be ruthless this time, so that their family can't raise their heads in the village.

With a loud gasp, Wang Guihua's chest was violently bullied, she clenched her hands into fists, and rushed towards Xia Wanqing.

Xia Wanqing had already seen it, but this weak body couldn't react, so she had to close her eyes and prepare to take this blow.

A moment later, the screams of killing pigs sounded in my ears.

"It hurts me!"

Xia Wanqing opened her eyes, only to see Ji Baishan holding Wang Guihua's arm, the green tendons on the back of her hand were bulging, she had no doubt that if she was working harder, Wang Guihua's hand would probably be wasted.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was being bullied, Xia Mingqing hurriedly picked up the firewood knife on the side and rushed towards Ji Baishan with a brandishing brandish.

Ji Baishan let go of Wang Guihua and flashed to the side slightly, Xia Mingqing pounced, turned around and waved at Ji Baishan again.

The firewood knife stopped in mid-air, and everyone was dumbfounded, since Ji Baishan caught the firewood knife with his bare hands, Xia Mingzhong was even more frightened and retreated a long way, until he reached the steps.

Ji Baishan threw the firewood knife at will, his sharp eyes swept around everyone, and then announced word by word: "Xia Wanqing is my daughter-in-law, if you dare to bully her again in the future, I will definitely not let you go." ”

Ji Baishan successfully suppressed everyone just now, and no one dared to refute it now, and in an instant, everyone disappeared without a trace.

The courtyard fell silent instantly, and Yao Lan pulled Xia Wanqing to check it up and down carefully, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief when she was sure she was okay.

"Qing'er, my mother was almost scared to death just now, why aren't you in the house? Where the hell did it go? ”

Xia Mingzhong frowned: "You ask so many questions at once, what should the girl do?" ”

"It's okay Dad." Xia Wanqing smiled lightly, then put down the back basket, pointed to the herbs inside and said, "I heard that there is a pharmacy in the town that collects gastrodia and can sell it for money, so I went up the mountain as soon as it was dawn." ”

She deliberately concealed the Cordyceps sinensis thing.

Yao Lan instructed: "You can't do this next time, you go up the mountain alone with a girl's family, this is a very dangerous thing." ”

Xia Wanqing responded.

At this time, Yao Lan noticed Ji Baishan.

Just as he was about to ask, Ji Baishan said: "I happened to meet Wanqing when I went up the mountain to hunt, and I sent her back by the way." ”

"Bai Shan, you are such a good boy." Yao Lan's eyes were full of regret, why can't her daughter look down on her?

Xia Mingzhong was the same, his tone was full of helplessness.

"Bai Shan, no matter what, you are the benefactor of our family, and I will definitely repay you in the future."

"Yes, I'll go cook right away, I'll have lunch here today!" After speaking, Yao Lan turned around and was about to go to the kitchen.

Ji Baishan hurriedly said: "No need, my mother is still waiting at home!" ”

Yao Lan still wanted to persuade, Xia Wanqing said: "Then you go back first!" ”

Ji Baishan was stunned for a moment, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he turned around and left the small courtyard.

Suddenly, the courtyard returned to its former tranquility.

Yao Lan wanted to speak again and again, and finally went back to the kitchen.

Near noon, the family gathered in the hall, and Xia Wanqing looked at the yellow nest in a daze.

Yao Lan thought she didn't like to eat, so she hurriedly said: "Qing'er, if you want to eat something else, just say it, my mother will do her best." ”

"Mother, no, I'm going to go to town later." In fact, Xia Wanqing was thinking about how to sell Cordyceps, and there was very little information about the town in the original owner's memory, so it seemed that it was rare to go there.

Yao Lan looked at her in surprise: "You are a girl who goes to the town alone, what if something happens?" ”

"Mother, don't worry. I just want to exchange the medicinal herbs for some money, so that our family's life will be better. Daddy was so badly injured and needed something good to eat. Xia Wanqing said.

Hearing her say this, Yao Lan couldn't stop her.

After the turmoil of getting married, Xia Mingzhong had already made up his mind that everything would go according to Xia Wanqing, as long as his daughter was happy.

"I'll go and say hello to your Uncle Wang in a while, you go to his ox cart, sell herbs and follow him back."

Xia Wanqing said yes.

Just after noon, Uncle Wang came in an ox cart, and Yao Lan instructed Xia Wanqing to leave with him.

The ox cart drove slowly along the sheep intestine trail into the distance, and the wildflowers blooming on both sides had a unique style.

Xia Wanqing's mood slowly calmed down, maybe this kind of pastoral life is not bad.

After walking for about an hour, and finally arrived at Mulin Town, Xia Wanqing made an appointment with Uncle Wang to go back, and then got off the ox cart from the South City Gate.

According to the memory of the original owner, Mulin Town is surrounded by mountains, ancient trees are towering, and the products are abundant, so it attracts many people to do business here, so although the town is not big, it is very lively.

After passing the city gate, there is a north-south street, with many shops and bustling crowds.

Xia Wanqing was dazzled for a while, fortunately she didn't forget her business, she found a few medical centers and inquired about the price, and she had some understanding of the market of Cordyceps in her heart, but she always felt that the price given by those people was too low, and she might see that she was a girl's family, so she unanimously wanted to lower the price.

Unwillingly, she always inquired that the Wu Family Medical Center had a good reputation, and looked for it with the mentality of giving it a try.

There is a big gourd hanging in front of the Wu Family Medical Hall, which looks no different from other homes.

Xia Wanqing was uneasy in her heart, pulled the back basket, and strode in.

Different from the calm outside, there were all people in the medical hall, and most of the clothes on those people were patched, all of them were yellow and thin, and they knew that they were poor people at a glance.

She inexplicably had a good feeling, and finally had a trace of confidence in her heart.

"Girl, are you here to see a doctor?" A junior apprentice greeted him, and his tone sounded very comfortable, compared to the bad attitude of the previous families, this place was simply as amiable as a relative.

Xia Wanqing smiled: "I'm here to sell medicinal herbs." ”

"The girl is really lucky, today I happened to meet the young owner inspecting the shop, he is now looking at the account book in the inner courtyard, please come with me." The junior apprentice led Xia Wanqing to the inner courtyard, asked her to wait under the porch for a while, and then entered a room.

Xia Wanqing looked around and found that there were bamboo plaques all over the courtyard, which were full of various medicinal herbs, and sighed in her heart that it was worthy of a medical hall.

At this time, the junior apprentice hurriedly walked over.

"Girl, the young owner wants to take a look at the medicinal materials in person, please inside."

Xia Wanqing nodded and followed him into the house.

"Girl, what herbs do you want to sell?" A young man in a blue robe, with a thin face, and a smile between his eyebrows, looked kind.

Xia Wanqing is much more relieved, as the saying goes, it comes from the heart, such a gentle young man should not lie to himself.

"Young owner, I want to sell Cordyceps."

The young man looked at her in surprise: "This cordyceps herb is a rare thing, how can the girl know?" ”
