Medicine Girl 002
A stack of newspapers was read by Meng Xin countless times, and he was reluctant to put it when it was almost rotten, so he couldn't help but look at it again every day, thanks to him, Bai Lian also recognized the words on it clearly.
"Meng Xin, do you want to find some work to do?" After all, Old Man Meng felt sorry for his daughter, he used to take care of him alone, and he thought he was looking for a son-in-law to help, but it turned out to be taking care of the two old men.
"Abba, Meng Xin's health is not yet well, wait until he is better, don't worry, I am also busy with the matter of collecting medicine." Bai Lian hurriedly spoke to help.
"I'll go up the mountain with you tomorrow." Coming out of Old Man Meng's house, Meng Xin spoke, he is a man, he lives in other people's houses plainly, he only eats and drinks and does not work, and he really doesn't want to go.
"Don't pay attention to my father, you don't know how to collect medicinal materials," Bai Lian said quickly, "You are a scholar, there should be another way out, there is no need to learn from us." ”
Hearing the first half of her sentence, Meng Xin was really embarrassed, but when he heard the second half of her sentence, he was completely relieved, and after getting along for a few months, he already knew that this girl was diligent and neat in words, but she was also the most kind-hearted.
They are a fake couple, they sleep separately at night, and they are afraid that no one will believe them, and most of the time he sleeps in the bed and sleeps on the floor in vain.
Old man Meng was lying in bed, Bai Lian was responsible for her livelihood, and the financial power was naturally in her hands.
"Tomorrow you're going to go into town, right?"
"Why go into town?" Meng Xin's heart moved, but he knew the current situation of this small family, so he could only suppress his selfish thoughts and asked.
"Go and find a job, and try to recall some things from the past by the way," if he directly said that in order to help him find a way to go home, Meng Xin would definitely feel guilty, Bai Lian simply said to let him find a job, "Don't shirk, bring this, it's more convenient." She pushed out the neatly folded veil.
"Okay..."Meng Xin's throat moved slightly, and he swallowed back into his stomach if he refused, "Don't worry, I will definitely find a job." ”
How can it be so simple, where they are located, it is just a small town, Meng Xin went around for a day, and when he came back, he only brought back a handful of outdated newspapers, and there was nothing else.
Old man Meng was so angry that he didn't eat dinner, and fell asleep with his head bored.
Bai Lian didn't have any dissatisfaction, "How can you succeed once," she comforted, "It's a big deal to go there again in a few days, it's always right to take a walk and see." ”
She didn't deliberately comfort her, but really thought so, Meng Xin looked at her clear eyes, somehow, she just decided that her body, which was a little tired, actually felt a lot more comfortable.
Bai Lian gave Meng Xin the money he came back from selling medicine, except for occasionally buying some meat, even if he returned empty-handed every time he went to the county seat, she still firmly believed that he could succeed.
The quiet small mountain village has already had some rumors because of what happened to their family, and they lamented that Old Man Meng had been waiting for a "living ancestor" for a long time. ”
Even the village chief realized that he had become a villain, and secretly found Bai Lian and asked her, "Meng family girl, if you can't open your mouth, I'll go and say that it's a foolish medium that I protect, and I should deal with it." ”
"Village Chief, you don't have to worry, I believe in Meng Xin, he is a responsible and responsible man," Bai Lian replied categorically.
Meng Xin behind the hut, his fists clenched, as if he had made a major decision, under the repeated blows, even he himself lost confidence in himself, he thought that Bai Lian also thought so, but as a result, she actually believed him, saying that he was a responsible man.
"I want to go to the provincial capital." That night, Meng Xin said this idea to Bai Lian that he had been hesitating for a long time.
"Okay," Bai Lian was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Are you worried that I'll go out?" Meng Xin couldn't help but ask.
"As long as it's a decision you make, I'll support it." Bai Lian turned sideways, and the corners of her eyes seemed to be a little crystal clear, but she still helped make the sheets in an orderly manner.
After her daughter's family got married, she had no feelings from the beginning, but gradually she would change, Meng Xin was handsome and talented, and it was only a matter of time before she had a good impression of him.
Bai Lian understood that she had fallen.
Asked the relatives and friends around to borrow a circle, plus she recently ran into a deeper mountain col to collect medicine and earn some money, it was calculated that it was about enough for him to spend ten days and a half in the provincial capital, and Bai Lian's heart was put down.
"Don't be too demanding, if there is no suitable one, you can go home, I thought about it, we can sell some small medicinal herbs by ourselves, and we can also live." It's chaotic outside, and if you can, I wish you could stay in such a peaceful environment.
"Okay, I'll write to you, and remember to call me back if there's something at home, I... It's also a part......" Meng Xin suppressed what he wanted to say, and his tone was very soft.
Meng Xin is gone, and the family has returned to its former tranquility.
Old man Meng knew that it was not easy for his daughter, so he didn't care about it after a few days.
Bai Lian was in debt, so that she could only collect medicine more diligently, she entered the mountain earlier and earlier, and came out later and later, just because she entered the hinterland deeper.
said that he often wrote letters, but after walking for almost a month, there was not a word from Meng Xin.
Some people say that Meng Xin was originally an outsider, and when he went out to see the outside world, he might have forgotten about the small mountain village a long time ago, and some people said that Meng Xin had found his home and didn't want to come back.
Although Bai Lian was terrified in his heart, he could only turn a deaf ear.
"Meng Xin has a letter." After a whole month, at last, a villager who had gone out brought back a crumpled letter.

Meng Xinbi

Bai Lian's hanging heart finally let go, and told Father Meng the good news, and the old man got up happily and drank a few sips of wine, looking much better.
However, Bai Lian did not relax her medicine collection work, Meng Xin said that she would take her into the city, and she might have to face renting a house, buying and cooking by herself, making clothes, and spending everywhere, she wanted to earn more while she could make money.
