Chapter 69: The Black Shop
Qin Miaomiao picked up the tissue paper, and the big characters on it were 'Go to the town to buy a quilt'.
Buy a quilt and buy a quilt, as if you ran away early in the morning? He didn't treat him like this, he just hugged and slept for a while, thinking of this, Qin Miaomiao couldn't help but feel a little stunned in her heart, is it a righteous gentleman or really doesn't like herself?
Thinking of this, he raised his hand and touched his face, looked down at his figure again, tightened his clothes, and it was okay, he had grown two taels of flesh a little, not to mention that he was only sixteen, and there was still a lot of room for development, didn't he plan to develop it?
Or does he feel like he's not worthy of him? Qin Miaomiao suddenly remembered that An Zijin, the woman who came to him a while ago, was indeed inferior to her.
Early in the morning, Qin Miaomiao made a systematic self-assessment summary, and she set another New Year's goal, that is, to become excellent! When one day he can be as good as Su Mu, then he can tell him openly that he likes him, not like him now.
After breakfast, Qin Miaomiao took out the medical book that had not been turned over for a few days, and pondered what medicinal herbs to replant in the wasteland.
This year, she plans to open up another vegetable field, plant some vegetables and corn, although the japonica rice is delicious, but she can't grow rice, rice needs to be raised in advance, but also transplanted seedlings for irrigation, the amount of work is too large, she can't be busy alone.
Flipping through the pages of medical books, while making notes, I selected several medicinal materials that are easy to grow and do not have particularly strict requirements for the growth environment.
However, among these screened medicinal materials, she prefers a heavy building of medicinal materials, which can reduce swelling and relieve pain, cool the liver and calm shock, clear heat and detoxify. It is also widely used, such as convulsions, bruises, sore throat, carbuncle boils, poisonous snake bites, etc. It can be taken internally or externally. After thinking about it left and right, I decided to go to the town and see if there were any seeds for sale.
Qin Miaomiao was looking at it seriously, and the bean bag ran to the door with her tail dangling, thinking that Su Mu was coming back, but she didn't want Yang Liu to enter the courtyard with a basket.
Sitting beside Qin Miaomiao with a smile, she put the basket aside: "Miao Miao, what are you doing?"
"I'm reading a medical book, why are you free?" Qin Miaomiao pushed the medical book aside, and talked to Yang Liu familiarly, the two are not only love, but also friendship, friends should also be talked about in the right eye, whether a person can become a friend may be doomed at the beginning of the meeting.
"I'll send you some wrapped Lantern Festival, this thing is making trouble, my mother-in-law just wrapped it and sent you some, you can save some trouble." After speaking, I opened the basket, and inside was a white and chubby Lantern Festival, the size was well-proportioned, and half of the basket was filled.
"Thank you! After taking so much, do you have enough to eat at home? As soon as the bean bag heard that it was good, he trotted to Qin Miaomiao's side.
"Enough, there's a lot more at home." Yang Liu smiled and touched the bean bag's furry head, and glanced at the medical book on the side: "Miao Miao, are you reading?" Did Su Langzhong teach you to read?" Speaking of literacy, Yang Liu's eyes were full of envy, although there were many literate women in this era, they were all rich young ladies, and there were very few literate women like her.
Qin Miaomiao remembered that the original body must also be illiterate, so as not to show the horse's feet, so she nodded and admitted: "Su Langzhong will teach me some in his spare time." ”
At the mention of Su Mu, Yang Liu frowned again, and then seemed to remember something, and hurriedly spoke: "Don't mention it, I forgot, when I passed by the mountain, I saw that Su Langzhong's house was burned, what happened?" Isn't anyone else there?"
What the hell is going on, Qin Miaomiao is not very clear, she thinks that it was Su Mu's stove that caught fire and burned the house: "Su Lang built a stove in the middle house, and the fire burned the house." Others went to town. ”
Yang Liu actually doesn't like Su Mu very much, he always feels that he is arrogant and indifferent, and he has a cold face when he sees anyone, and he is not easy to get close to: "Where does he live when the house burns down?" I'm not going to live here, are I?"
Qin Miaomiao nodded a little embarrassed, but Yang Liu was still a little unhappy: "He's also embarrassed, didn't he divorce you and kick you out of the house?" Now I have nowhere to live and I come to rely on you?"
Her lips moved and she wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start with the relationship between her and Su Mu, and it took a long time for Zhiwu to speak: "Yang Liu, in fact, my relationship with Su Langzhong is not what you think, we have nothing, I was dared by my father to go out, and I have nowhere to go, begging him to take me in." ”
"Nothing?" Yang Liu picked out the key points, his eyes widened unexpectedly, and his voice was raised a few degrees: "He has given a dowry to your family, and you don't have a round house?" Didn't sleep together?"
"No, he saw me pitiful and took me in for a while, because I always felt that it was troublesome for him, so I built a house on the mountain and moved out, and I couldn't send him to rely on him."
After listening to Qin Miaomiao's explanation, although Yang Liu felt surprised, he also agreed, and nodded: "Then I still blame Su Langzhong, it's okay to move out, don't go back to your mother's house, by the way, your father is sick, and he hasn't been out of the house since he sold Qin Ruhua, and I heard that I can't get up from bed." But if you don't like to hear it, you deserve it! Poor and crazy, sell her daughter and sell her to a brothel! Although Yang Liu is also a daughter, her father and mother are very good to her, and she is spoiled on the tip of her heart, and now she is married and sends her some snacks and small money from time to time, for fear that she will be treated badly in her in-law's family, so she can't imagine what Father Qin did to his daughter.
Although Qin Miaomiao didn't sympathize with Qin's father, she still felt a little unhappy in her heart, thinking that Qin's mother was about to give birth, and the main force of the family was sick again, and there were six or seven children who were young, and the eldest was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the Qin family's life was afraid that it would be difficult to maintain.
Seeing Qin Miaomiao's distraction, Yang Liu guessed her thoughts: "Why don't I go to your mother's house tomorrow to see, do you have anything to bring over?" ”
Thinking about it, after all, it was the parents and sisters of the original body, and she couldn't ignore the friendship at all: "You go and take a look, and then tell Sanya to come to me." Don't let my parents know. ”
Father Qin and Mother Qin didn't dare to provoke, but she might be able to secretly help those younger sisters, it is common for children to be starved to death in this era, they are so young, it is really pitiful.
Yang Liu and Qin Miaomiao chatted a few more words, and Yang Liu told her to be careful in the mountains before she crossed the empty blue and left.
As soon as Yang Liu's front foot left, Su Mu's back foot entered the yard, the action was fast, the quilt and mattress were all bought, and the things were placed in the house, Qin Miaomiao followed Su Mu with a fart.
Su Mu sat down and she squatted aside, Su Mu got up and she followed behind, Su Mu was annoyed: "What are you doing?" ”
With a flattering smile: "Su Langzhong, did you sleep well last night?" ”
Seeing that Su Mu's body was obviously stiff, Qin Miaomiao smiled even sweeter, it turned out that he knew that he was sleeping with him in his arms last night, and looked at Su Mu with a teasing look: "I slept well last night, and it was very warm to cover the same quilt." ”
Hearing the mockery in Qin Miaomiao's words, Su Mu immediately calmed down: "A girl should pay attention to her words and deeds." ”
"I'm not a girl anymore, everyone knows that I'm married to you, and no one knows that I'm still a girl." Qin Miaomiao immediately retorted and looked at Su Mu with a smile.
"Frivolous, you and I are innocent, nothing happens, you can still marry farther when you grow up, then you can say that I am your brother, no one will look down on you."
"I don't want it, who wants you to be a brother!" After speaking, he took a few steps closer, looked at Su Mu with a small face, firmly grasped the placket on Su Mu's chest with both hands, his tone was solemn, and his eyes stared at Su Mu: "I have grown up, I know what I want, I don't need you to arrange it for me, and one day I will get what I want." ”
If you don't say that you are tired of me, I will have a chance one day, and you and I will eventually raise our eyebrows one day.
The two of them talked so closely, Su Mu was a little flustered, looking at Qin Miaomiao's raised face, and the persistence in her eyes, Su Mu's heart seemed to have been hit by something, if she knew everything, would she still treat herself like this, would she still swear that she was what she wanted?
No! Su Mu already had the answer in his heart, and his eyes dimmed instantly, he didn't know how long this hard-won peace could last, how could he drag Qin Miaomiao with him? It would be good for her to find someone who loves her to live a stable life, she can protect her for a day if she has the ability, and she will not be displaced when she is not capable, so it is very good.
"Go ahead, don't make a fuss." Su Mu's amazement and estimation were seen by Qin Miaomiao, but she didn't understand why he was like this, didn't his family agree? But he never mentioned his family.
Since he doesn't mention it, he doesn't want to force him to ask, people always have secrets that they don't want to be known, and if they like him, they should respect him better.
"Well, no more fuss." Qin Miaomiao let go of Su Mu's clothes, carefully smoothed the folds for him with her hands, and said while smoothing it out: "Su Langzhong, I have memorized a lot of medical books for a while, when can you teach me to ask for a diagnosis of the pulse?" ”
Su Mu did say that he wanted to teach her medical skills, but seeing that Qin Miaomiao was not interested, he kept putting it on hold, he thought that she was unwilling to learn, so he didn't force it, since she mentioned that she wanted to learn, of course he could teach her: "If you want to learn, you have to be serious, this medical skill must not be sloppy, and the slightest difference will be worthy of a life." ”
Qin Miaomiao nodded solemnly, her expression was extremely sincere and sincere: "Well, I will definitely do my best, treat it seriously and carefully, and there will be no sloppiness!" ”
"Okay, I'll rearrange a few medical books, these are all necessary to memorize for entry, all the content you need to memorize, these medical books are proficient, you can only take the first step in studying medicine." What Su Mu found for Qin Miaomiao was all that he had to memorize when he was a beginner in medical skills. There is no shortcut to learn this, it is necessary to endure hardships, but what you pay will eventually be rewarded, only if the foundation is solid, every step taken in the future will be steady and steady.
Xiucai studies medicine and catches chickens in a cage, the premise is that you have to be a showman, but Qin Miaomiao is not, she is just an ordinary college student who has traveled through the past in modern times.
So when she held the medical book, it was like a three-year-old child holding a book from the sky, Su Mu gave her a few medical books this time were different from the last time, and most of the last time she told her about the appearance of some medicinal materials, the medicinal effects, and even a lot of them were equipped with drawings, so it didn't look very difficult.
Qin Miaomiao couldn't even understand a word of these books, but she was determined to learn well, and she believed that diligence could make up for her clumsiness.
As long as she has free time, Qin Miaomiao uses all of it to read books and endorse them, and even puts aside medical books when cooking.
On this day, Qin Miaomiao was preparing lunch, and suddenly the bean bag rushed to the door, barking at the door with her tail hanging down, but she didn't run out, and sat at the door.
Qin Miaomiao looked for prestige, a teenage girl hid behind the fence yard, looking nervously, and when she met Qin Miaomiao's eyes, the light flashed in her eyes: "Sister, second sister!" ”
Qin Miaomiao and Sanya haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and when they grow their bodies, Sanya hasn't changed at all, they are still thin and yellow, like a dehydrated bean sprout.
"Bean bag, come back." Qin Miaomiao covered the pot, walked to the door, and beckoned to Sanya: "Come in." ”
Sanya saw that Qin Miaomiao was very intimate, trotted to Qin Miaomiao's side, climbed Qin Miaomiao's arm before speaking, and shouted with a smile: "Second sister, I have wanted to come to see you for a long time, but I am afraid that my brother-in-law will be unhappy, so I have not dared to come!" ”
Although she has not lived in Qin's house for a long time, it is only two months, but Qin Miaomiao still likes Sanya very much, her big personality is very similar to when she was young, a stunned tomboy, in fact, Qin Miaomiao's personality was only converged when she came here, and if she was still rampage like before, it would be a loss.
It's just that she was happier than her when she was a child, although her parents were busy with work and couldn't accompany her, but she never treated herself badly with food and clothing, unlike Sanya, who was difficult to eat a full meal.
"Didn't my father tell you that I had already moved out on my own?" Qin Miaomiao was curious, didn't Su Mu know about her before the village neighbors knew about it?
Sanya obviously didn't know that Qin Miaomiao had now become a taboo in the Qin family, and no one could mention it anymore: "I didn't hear my father and mother say it, and my mother didn't let us mention you." ”
It's better not to mention it: "How is the family now?" Is there still food? "In fact, Qin Miaomiao can think about it without asking, as soon as Qin's father is sick, the Qin family is afraid that it has already collapsed, Qin's mother is pregnant, even if she can work, it is much worse.
Sanya is thirteen, and he is sensible, and he immediately flattened his mouth when he mentioned the family, and tears rolled in his eyes: "Dad is sick and can't get up, I know how to scold people every day, my mother is about to give birth, I was scolded by my father and cried, there was no food at home for a long time, I and the fourth and fifth children went to the field every day to pick up dried vegetables and leaves and vegetable roots and went home to soak and boil vegetable paste to drink. ”
After listening to Sanya's words, Qin Miaomiao's eyes also became sour, although the bitter days of several younger sisters were not caused by themselves, but they also had an indirect relationship with themselves, if Father Qin was not sick, their lives might be a little better.
"Sanya, listen, you must not tell my father and mother about coming to me today, I will bring you some food and share it with my sisters, but I must also secretly, I can't tell my father and mother, and my sisters can't say it, if you say it, you won't have anything to eat in the future." It's not that Qin Miaomiao is ruthless, it's that she really doesn't dare to let Qin's father and Qin's mother know, if they know that they care about their younger sisters, they will definitely use these children to blackmail themselves, she knows that she won't die when the time comes.
Sanya nodded obediently, she will definitely not say it! She was about to vomit after drinking that vegetable paste, and she really didn't want to drink it anymore.
Qin Miaomiao asked Sanya to wait aside, took out a piece of meat at home, chopped it finely, mixed it with japonica rice, boiled a pot of thick meat porridge, and pasted a few potstickers of brown rice noodles on the side of this pot.
But in a quarter of an hour, the aroma of the porridge had already wafted out along the steam, and Sanya swallowed saliva while leaning to Qin Miaomiao's side, staring at the porridge pot with both eyes and couldn't move away, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Second sister, are you all for us to eat?"
Qin Miaomiao lifted the lid of the pot and stirred the porridge to prevent the pot from sticking, seeing Sanya's gluttonous appearance was really pitiful, she rubbed the top of her withered yellow head, and the tip of her nose was sour: "Sanya, you can eat it if you wait, it's all for you and your sister." ”
After the porridge was boiled, Qin Miaomiao first served a big bowl to Sanya, wanting her to eat enough before going back.
Hand the porridge to Sanya and carefully advised: "Blow it cold before eating, don't burn it." ”
Sanya took the bowl and put it in front of her nose and sniffed it deeply, squinting her eyes and savoring it for a long time before she spoke: "It's so fragrant!" Second sister, I won't eat it first, you help me pretend to be okay, the fourth and fifth are still waiting for me in the field, I will quickly take it back and eat with them. ”
Qin Miaomiao's eyes were sour, Sanya sensibly made her feel distressed, turned around and touched a handful of tears, put the porridge in a wide-mouth jar, wrapped the potstickers with a clean tarpaulin and put them in the basket, and did not forget to instruct when leaving: "You come again tomorrow, remember that you must not let your father and mother know, and others can't say it, remember?" Be sure to tell your sisters when you go back! ”
Sanya nodded solemnly: "Second sister, don't worry, I won't say it, I won't tell my sisters!" ”
After sending Sanya away, Qin Miaomiao began to cook her and Su Mu's meals, when she lived alone, she basically saved trouble and came, but Su Mu had high requirements for food, so she had to put some effort into cooking every time.
Now is the time when there is a shortage of green and yellow, and there are many fewer ingredients for cooking, so every time he cooks, it is really a headache for Qin Miaomiao, while pondering what to add two more dishes, he can't help but complain, 'Why is this dead man so particular about having a meal?' What a family. ’
When the meal is ready, go and ask the bean bag to call the mountain to call Su Mu to eat, Su Mu is busy building a house these days and rarely stays on the mountain.
In the time to eat, Qin Miaomiao told Su Mu about Sanya's arrival today.
After hearing this, Su Mu looked up at her: "You will hurt Sanya." ”
In fact, Qin Miaomiao who Su Mu thought of also thought of it, but she couldn't do nothing, just watched those children of the Qin family starve to death one by one, there was no way that there really would be a day, and she would do her best to save Sanya.
It's just that Qin Miaomiao never thought that this day would come so soon!
Sanya would come to pick up food every day, and it lasted for more than half a month, and suddenly one day Sanya didn't come, Qin Miaomiao waited from noon to evening, and Sanya never appeared.
Vaguely Qin Miaomiao arrived and things were not good, Sanya must have something to do, so that Sanya had no chance to come out.
On the second day, Sanya still didn't come, Qin Miaomiao couldn't wait any longer, she went down the mountain with the bean bag, she wanted to go to Yang Liu, let her go to Qin's house, or go to the neighbor's second aunt's house to inquire about what happened to Qin's family.
But Qin Miaomiao had just left Hexi Village, and she ran into Father Qin, who was living on crutches.
Qin Miaomiao secretly said in her heart that the big thing was not good, and the matter of Sanya coming to the house to get food must have been known by Father Qin!
Father Qin didn't have the slightest surprise when he saw Qin Miaomiao, his triangular eyes were full of resentful hatred, and he couldn't wait to cramp Qin Miaomiao's bones.
The two had already seen each other, it was impossible to pretend not to see it, Qin Miaomiao hesitated for a while, but still greeted her, she had already guessed that Father Qin found out about Sanya's food, so she didn't plan to go around in circles and get straight to the point: "What about Sanya?" ”
Father Qin stood still on crutches, his eyes flashed with cunning gloom, and he said in a strange manner: "Sanya is at home, you came just in time, I was about to invite you?"
"Excuse me?" Qin Miaomiao's ominous premonition came to her heart, Father Qin must have a conspiracy.
Father Qin smiled sinisterly and treacherously: "Yes, I came to you to persuade Sanya." ”
Qin Miaomiao knew that she was deliberately hanging herself around the bend, and she was anxious and helpless: "What did you do to her?" Don't beat around the bush, say it! ”
Triangle eyes narrowed, seemed to be very satisfied with Qin Miaomiao's nervousness and urgency, her tone was not in a hurry, and she sighed melancholy: "Eh, I am also for her good, but Sanya is young and doesn't understand my hard work, and she is clamoring to see you, I was forced to have no choice, so I came to you." ”
"Say it quickly, if you don't say it, I'll go back!" Qin Miaomiao was angry and anxious.
"Don't go back, I told Sanya about a family matter, but she is as unwilling to marry as you are, and neither I nor your mother can persuade her, so I will listen to you when I come to persuade her." Qin Miaomiao felt that Father Qin at this time was like a toad, ugly and disgusting, which made people sick to their stomachs.
Hurriedly crossed Father Qin, and went directly to the Qin family, not wanting to say a word to him again.
Before entering the courtyard of the Qin family, he had already heard the cry of Sanya, and there were other people in the courtyard talking miscellaneously. Mess.
Qin Miaomiao trotted into the yard, today's Qin family is a little lively, not only Qin's mother is at home with a few younger sisters, but there is also a matchmaker leading a black bear-like man to stand in the yard, but everyone's face is not very good, only the matchmaker is still smiling.
That matchmaker Qin Miaomiao knew her, the one who said goodbye to Chen He, and when she saw Qin Miaomiao entering the hospital, she immediately smiled and said to the man who was like a black bear: "Look at it, this is your second aunt, how many signs she looks like, your little daughter-in-law can be as handsome as her when she grows up, and the girls of their Qin family are more beautiful than the other!" ”
The black bear spirit looked at Qin Miaomiao with greedy and explicit eyes, his eyes seemed to be nailed to Qin Miaomiao's body, and the two colored eyes stopped spinning on Qin Miaomiao's chest.
Qin Miaomiao only felt a burst of nausea, and the black bear spirit's gaze made her extremely disgusted and angry.
Facing the black bear spirit's scrutiny, Qin Miaomiao looked angry, she was angry that the father and mother of the Qin family, Sanya was only thirteen years old, and she was forced to marry, and she was such an obscene and obscene old man.
glared at the old man fiercely, walked past the matchmaker and the black bear spirit and walked to Sanya's side, Sanya was already crying, out of breath, and when she saw Qin Miaomiao coming, she threw herself into Qin Miaomiao's arms and hugged Qin Miaomiao's waist tightly: "Second sister, I won't marry, I won't marry this black bear blind man!" ”
The man immediately became anxious when he heard Qin Sanya's words, and his voice was like thunder when he spoke: "Stinky girl, who are you talking about?" Wait for you to marry into my family, and watch me clean you up like this! You are obedient to the fight. ”
The matchmaker smiled awkwardly on the side, pulled the black bear spirit's clothes, and motioned him to say a few words, which frightened Qin Sanya and annoyed the Qin family.
"Eh, what about you, don't be surprised, my uncle is straight, and he speaks straightly, don't be surprised." The black bear snorted coldly without caring about it: "If a woman is disobedient, she doesn't beat it, and the daughter-in-law who beats it out kneaded the noodles, I won't get used to anyone!" ”
Qin Miaomiao glanced at him coldly, and couldn't wait to take a stick and pull him out immediately! forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to the matchmaker standing aside: "Let's go, we don't agree to this family business, Sanya is still too young." Can't get married! ”
She felt that the Qin family's father and mother were really unconscionable and poor! If you can't raise it, don't give birth, isn't this trying to force Sanya to death?
Before others could speak, Father Qin came back limping back with a cane, standing at the door and shouting: "Bastard, I asked you to come to persuade Sanya, who let you make trouble here?" I have the final say on whether to marry or not, use you to make peace with the mud! ”
"That's it, that's it, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, your second daughter is not sensible." Of course, the matchmaker is looking forward to promoting this family affair, this black bear spirit is lazy and bad-tempered, and the nearby village can't find a daughter-in-law, seeing that he hasn't married in his thirties, his mother is so anxious that she goes crazy, saying that if anyone can tell his son about the family affair, the benefit fee will be given two taels of silver.
Two taels of silver is not a small amount, and others only have a few dollars of silver for a family business, so the matchmaker naturally wants to try her best to promote it.
"Are you poor and crazy? Sanya is only thirteen years old, she is still a child, how can she get married! "In any case, this family matter must not be agreed, she can't let Sanya jump into the fire pit.
"What's wrong with being thirteen years old, your mother is pregnant with your sister at the age of thirteen!" When it comes to Qin Ruhua, Father Qin's resentment towards Qin Miaomiao is even stronger.
"I don't care about others, anyway, this family Sanya can't agree, you go quickly, otherwise I'll blow you out with a stick!"
After listening to Qin Miaomiao's words, the matchmaker glanced at Father Qin in embarrassment.
"The Zhao family promised to give a gift of thirty taels of silver, but there was not a single grain of rice left in the family, and they all pointed to Sanya's gift money to live! You said that if you don't marry, you won't marry, will you support the whole family? ”
Listening to Daddy Qin's words, Qin Miaomiao's heart instantly cleared, it turned out that he was waiting for you here, no wonder he wanted to go to the house to find himself, in fact, he deliberately used Sanya's marriage to force himself to give him money, if he didn't marry Sanya, he wouldn't lose money, if she gave this gift money, Daddy Qin would be able to get silver and earn a daughter, for him this is a deal that only makes money and does not lose money.
Now that she knows Daddy Qin's purpose, this matter has become simpler, thirty taels of silver to sell Sanya for a future, Qin Miaomiao feels that she has not spent money in vain, but she will not let Daddy Qin's wishful thinking start, Sanya She has to take it away, otherwise this silver is spent, Daddy Qin is already mad, and he will definitely repeat the old trick When the time comes, this will be a bottomless pit.
Qin Miaomiao thought about it for a while, and said in a cold voice: "I'll give you forty taels, but Sanya will have to follow me in the future." ”
Qin Miaomiao's words blocked the matchmaker couldn't speak, thirty taels were still borrowed by Zhao Jiadong, and forty taels could never be taken out, and she lost all her confidence for a while.
The black bear spirit was also cowardly, thinking that he could raise his eyebrows by spending a lot of money to marry the daughter of the Qin family, but the Qin family sat on the ground and raised the price, and he really couldn't afford it.
looked at Qin Miaomiao viciously, and finally left angrily.
The matchmaker also felt that she couldn't get down the stairs, and complained with great dissatisfaction: "Daddy Qin, what are you doing, I won't care about your daughter's family affairs in the future." After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked away quickly.
Daddy Qin's triangular eyes flashed, and he was secretly proud in his heart, he didn't expect this girl to be really rich, she would give forty taels if she said she would give it, and it would be good to take it away, there was one less person at home to eat.
"Second girl, you have to talk about it, forty taels and one points can't be less, I won't agree to one point less!"
Qin Miaomiao had already seen Daddy Qin's face clearly, patted Sanya's back and comforted: "Don't worry, my sister won't let you marry that person, you pack your things, I'll pick you up, and you will follow me in the future." ”
Sanya cried hard just now, still sobbing, and nodded obediently: "Second sister, I will definitely listen to you in the future." Although she is young, she is also sensible, and she has nothing to be reluctant to be with such parents, and she doesn't want to stay in this family anymore.
Father Qin glanced at Qin Miaomiao: "If you give the money, people can take it away, otherwise Sanya won't want to step out of this door." ”
"Three days later, I'll bring the money, and then Sanya will have to go with me." She needed some time to raise money, and she couldn't come up with forty taels of silver for a while.
Qin Miaomiao was in a hurry to go back to raise money, and after a few words of comfort, Sanya left in a hurry.
When she returned home, she found all her savings, and counted them, seventeen taels, and twenty-three taels were missing.
Twenty taels of silver is not a small amount, it really takes some effort to get it together, Su Mu is embarrassed to speak again, he has not diagnosed people for a long time, and he has to build a house and add things, and there must not be much money left.
Yang Liu's little daughter-in-law, who has just married, will not save much money in her private house, and there is Chen Fu, she is embarrassed to borrow money.
Qin Miaomiao sat in the courtyard, thinking about it, she was still at a loss, where to raise money?
When she hesitated, her eyes stayed on the wasteland medicine field not far away, and now she was forced to have no choice, it seemed that she could only dig up the medicinal materials in the medicine field and sell them in advance.
Although it's a pity that they haven't fully grown up when they are dug up now, it is a matter of Sanya's life, and I can't take care of it so much.
As soon as she said it, Qin Miaomiao picked up the wooden shovel at home and ran to the medicine field.
Astragalus and Angelica dahurica were originally to be harvested at the end of this summer, but now the yield is definitely much less, but there is no other way now.
The ginseng has only taken root this year, and the root fruit has not yet taken shape, so she can only dig up all the astragalus and angelica.
Angelica angelica and ginseng are somewhat similar, both are single roots and fruits, so it is easier to dig, dig the ridge, you can see the rhizomes of Angelica dahurica, just dig deeper along its rhizome to pull them out.
Compared with He Baizhi, Astragalus membranaceus will be much more troublesome, Astragalus leaves and stems grow tall, the roots and fruits grow deep, and the hairs of the roots and fruits are particularly many, and the roots and fruits grow together, and the soil needs to be dug up a large piece, and it is necessary to dig deep, otherwise they will be pulled out, and the roots and fruits will be more difficult to dig when they are folded in the soil.
Qin Miaomiao was busy for two days to dig up the white and astragalus membranaceus, and there was no time to cut the sections to dry, so she could only take them to the river to clean them.
After all the things were straightened out, there were more than 200 catties, and Qin Miaomiao couldn't transport them to the city alone.
There is no way to go to Hexi Village to inquire about who has an ox cart to go to the town tomorrow.
God had mercy, the old man Li at the back of the village was willing to run with an ox cart, Qin Miaomiao promised to give her a penny of silver as a reward, and left the old man Li's house with a thousand thanks, Qin Miaomiao rushed home in a hurry.
The herbs that control the moisture are placed in a large cloth bag and placed at the door. Wait for Old Man Li's ox cart to come and pull it away early tomorrow morning and send it to the medicinal herb shop in the city.
Su Mu came back from the bottom of the mountain and was a little curious when he saw the cloth bag facing the door: "What is in this, why are there so many piles?"
Qin Miaomiao has been working secretly for the past two days, she doesn't want Su Mu to know that she dug up the medicinal materials in advance and sold them in order to raise money, she was afraid that Su Mu would not agree and lend herself money, she really didn't want to trouble Su Mu anymore.
But now that they are all ready, they are not afraid that he will know: "I have dug up all the medicinal materials in the wasteland, and I am going to sell them tomorrow?"
Su Mu was washing his hands, took the cloth towel handed over by Qin Miaomiao, wiped his hands and asked, "Are you in a hurry to use the money?" Why don't you tell me?" He guessed that Qin Miaomiao must have a difficulty and was in a hurry to use the money, otherwise she would not have dug up these herbs in advance, usually she is very precious to these herbs, and she must have been in a hurry to dig up these herbs to sell.
Qin Miaomiao's eyes were a little evasive, and she said very unnaturally: "There is nothing urgent, I want to change some more expensive herbs to plant this year, so I dug them all out." ”
Su Mu could see at a glance that Qin Miaomiao was lying to perfunctory herself, but she didn't want to say it, so she simply didn't ask: "It's okay if there's nothing to do, but if you have a problem, you must tell me, and I will help you." ”
Qin Miaomiao grinned and agreed: "Eh, I know, I will definitely tell you if there is something, if you don't help me, who will help me!" ”
As soon as it was dawn the next morning, Qin Miaomiao heard someone outside shouting to herself: "Girl, are you up?" ”
Doubao sat up excitedly, whimpered lowly, and rushed out the door.
Qin Miaomiao hurriedly got dressed and followed out, and Doubao was staring at the scalper at the door.
"Go, play." Driving the bean bags away, Qin Miaomiao and Old Man Li carried the bags of medicinal herbs to the ox cart, finished loading, walked back to the door, and whispered: "Su Langzhong, I'm going to the town, you can make some food for breakfast." ”
Su Mu just hummed in a low voice and didn't speak again.
Qin Miaomiao sat behind the ox cart and staggered, and when she set off from the entrance of the village, it was just dawn, and the whole world was half asleep and half awake.
Lao Li Tou sat on the wheel, humming a minor tune and shouting.
Qin Miaomiao was a little bored sitting in the back of the car, and she was more worried in her heart, she didn't know if these medicinal materials could be sold for twenty-three taels of silver, if she couldn't sell herself, where would she go to make money, did she really ask Su Mu to borrow it?
Suddenly, she was a little depressed, she felt that she was a troublemaker, and she had not cried in her grave, and went to cry in the mass grave. But Waiyi doesn't care about himself, what if Sanya is really married to that black bear spirit? And that person doesn't seem to be a good person, Sanya's little arms and calves were slapped by him, and it is estimated that half of his life is gone.
She can't watch Sanya marry such a person, in this era, a woman's hope for a lifetime is in her husband's family, if she marries that person, Sanya will be hopeless for the rest of her life.
Sanya is different from Qin Ruhua and Chen He for her, although the lives of the two of them were indirectly destroyed in their own hands, but they themselves are also responsible, Sanya is different, she is a complete victim, Daddy Qin uses her as a bargaining chip to blackmail himself, Sanya is so young that she has no chance to resist.
If Chen He hadn't slandered himself again and again and flattered Su Mu, he wouldn't have thought of marrying her off as soon as possible, thus ruining her life by mistake.
And Qin Ruhua, Qin Miaomiao only has sympathy, but she has no regrets, she is not the Holy Mother, if it is not Qin Ruhua who was sold to the brothel, then it was she who was pulled away by the carriage that night.
The coachman saw Qin Miaomiao in a trance, and wondered what else she was in her bag: "Girl, what are you pulling to the town?"
Qin Miaomiao's thoughts were pulled back to Qin Miaomiao's thoughts by Father Qin: "Medicinal herbs." Qin Miaomiao replied softly.
"Medicinal herbs? So many medicinal herbs?" Lao Li couldn't hide his surprise, there were a lot of medicinal herbs in the mountain, but it was the first time he had seen so many digs at one time.
Qin Miaomiao saw Old Man Li's question, and said with a smile: "I planted it in the mountains myself, not in the mountains. ”
"Species? Can I still grow my own herbs? Is it more profitable than a farmer? "Old man Li is full of interest, the grain farmers planted crops and paid the agricultural grain tax, the remaining grain is barely enough to make a living, the family is really short of East and West, so they carry dozens of catties of grain to the town to barter, in fact, there is no way to make money, the cash in hand every year is only a little bit, so it is even more difficult to save some money.
"You can plant it, but you can't plant it in the field, you have to plant it in the mountains, so that the herbs can grow well." Qin Miaomiao didn't answer whether he made money or not, and he always had reservations about the living.
"Eh, the little girl has a flexible head, the first time I've heard of planting medicinal herbs at such an old age, can I grow them?" Even if Qin Miaomiao didn't say it, Old Man Li also believed that this medicinal herb could make money, and after living for so many years, the experience was not something that a little girl could fool around at will.
Qin Miaomiao nodded: "If you can plant, go to the mountain to enclose a piece of land, clean up the weeds, and you can plant it, it's very simple." "Qin Miaomiao didn't lie to Old Man Li, in fact, you don't need to open up the wasteland, the shade of the trees in the mountains and the humus in the original belt are better, I didn't understand it at that time, and it took a lot of unjust effort.
If you plant Qin Miao seedlings again, you plan to plant them according to this method, which saves a lot of effort and can restore the growth environment of medicinal materials to the greatest extent.
Old man Li nodded while listening, very attentive: "I'll go home and discuss with my wife, and plant some more, so that I can save money for my son to ask for a daughter-in-law." ”
Qin Miaomiao was a little sad when she heard this, she not only had to take care of her son to eat and drink, but also praised them for a lifetime to marry a daughter-in-law, and it was difficult to raise a child.
There was a chat without a pair, and on the way, Old Man Li also took a few people who were in a hurry to earn a few pennies to make some money.
When the sun showed their full faces, they rushed to the town, and Qin Miaomiao didn't run around this time, and directly asked Lao Li Tou to drive the ox cart to Suwentang, that is, the medicinal herb shop of the forest medicine box.
Because Old Man Li wanted to learn how to grow medicinal materials with Qin Miaomiao, he was very diligent and carried the medicinal materials to the door.
The pharmacy has just opened, Xiao Hei is still cleaning, Qin Miaomiao has been here to sell Niu Xi, and has also taken some medicinal materials to buy these days, and he is already familiar with Xiao Hei.
"Miss Qin is here, I'm here to sell something today." Qin Miaomiao sells medicine every time she comes, so Xiao Hei goes straight to the point.
Qin Miaomiao smiled, looked inside, turned around and asked, "Didn't Shopkeeper Lin come?" ”
Xiao Hei replied while sweeping the floor, the guy who works for people always has to be diligent, no matter how good your boss is: "Here, there is a guest, you wait for me to finish sweeping the floor and call him." ”
Qin Miaomiao nodded, sat on a chair in the shop and waited quietly.
Xiao Hei's hands and feet were nimble, and he quickly finished sweeping and instructed Qin Miaomiao to go to the back room: "You show me the shop for a while, come to buy medicine, and tell him to come immediately." ”
In just a moment, the Lin medicine box came out with Xiao Hei. Seeing Qin Miaomiao's two eyes squinting with a smile: "Qin girl, I haven't been here for a long time." ”
Qin Miaomiao immediately got up and walked to the side of Lin Yaozi, her tone was a little urgent, more expectant: "Shopkeeper Lin, will Angelica and Astragalus be collected?" ”
Lin Yao glanced up and down the box, and replied briskly: "Where is it?" Take it out and I'll take a look. ”
Qin Miaomiao glanced at the door: "Come with me, there are a few bags at the door." ”
Shopkeeper Lin raised his eyebrows, obviously a little surprised: "How many bags?" Where did you dig so much. He asked, walking to the door.
There were four big bags neatly placed at the door, two bags of astragalus and two bags of angelica, opened the bag and grabbed a handful of angelica, frowning slightly: "It's all wet goods?" The wet goods can't be sold at a price, so I have to dry them myself. ”
Qin Miaomiao knew that the price would be very low, but she had no way to endure the pain and had to sell: "How much do you charge Shopkeeper Lin?" ”
All the bags were opened in turn, and they were checked from top to bottom: "Astragalus is a pound of silver, and Angelica dahurica is a pound of silver." ”
Qin Miaomiao listened to the quotation of the shopkeeper Lin and the stone in her heart immediately fell to the ground, she estimated it herself, these medicinal materials should be more than two hundred catties, according to this price, plus the family's money, forty taels of silver can be gathered.
Qin Miaomiao no longer hesitated, and immediately agreed happily: "Okay, Boss Lin will weigh the scales." She hurried back to send money to the Qin family, afraid that after three days, Father Qin would have something to do.
After weighing the scales and settling the accounts, he bought a total of twenty-three taels and six pieces of silver. Carefully divide the silver into several pockets, and follow the villagers who returned to the village at the earliest.
After Qin Miaomiao left, Xiao Hei was a little reluctant to move medicinal materials into the house, and couldn't help complaining: "Why did you leave this medicinal material from the shopkeeper?" We're going to have to work so hard. The price is still so high. You can't just care about people's favors and ignore business. ”
Lin Yaozi kicked Xiao Hei's ass and scolded: "You are the boss, I am the boss, teach me a lesson!" Get to work! ”
Xiao Hei pursed his lips and continued to carry the medicinal herbs.
Hurried Qin Miaomiao back home It was already past noon, took out the previous seventeen taels of silver, took out the right forty taels of packs, and hurried to the Qin family.
Sanya was standing at the door and looking, she got up early and waited at the door, she was afraid that Qin Miaomiao would just say that she would not really take money in exchange for her leaving.
Zuo waited and waited and didn't see Qin Miaomiao coming, Sanya was a little panicked, Qin's father saw Sanya's eager look, he was angry, glanced at Sanya fiercely, and scolded Qin's mother: "Look at the good daughters you gave birth to, all of them are wolf-hearted and dog-hearted, and they can't wait to grow wings and fly out of this house quickly!" ”
Father Qin has always been like this, no matter what mistakes his daughters make, he has to take Mother Qin to scold, and they all complain that she was not born well.
Sanya heard Daddy Qin scolding herself, and secretly hid aside, she didn't want to mess with Daddy Qin at the last moment, she just wanted to get rid of this family quickly.
Finally, when Sanya was about to see through, Qin Miaomiao walked quickly towards the Qin family, and Sanya opened the door and immediately ran over with a smile: "Second sister, I knew you would come." ”
Father Qin also walked to the door, staring at Qin Miaomiao coldly with a pair of triangular eyes: "Did you get the money?" ”
Qin Miaomiao didn't look at Father Qin at all, and smiled at Sanya and said, "Go and take out your clothes and go with my sister." ”
Sanya nodded vigorously and ran back into the house like a gust of wind.
Qin Miaomiao glanced at Daddy Qin, and handed the two notes written in his hand to Daddy Qin, he knew that Daddy Qin was literate, and it could be seen from her and Qin Ruhua's names that he might still be a girl when he was born to Sanya, so he was not in the mood to think of a name, so he went down in a row.
This note is actually equivalent to Sanya's deed of sale, which shows that Father Qin has no right to meddle in Sanya's affairs after receiving the forty taels of silver, and Qin Miaomiao not only asked him to sign this note, but also asked him to hand over Sanya's household registration to himself, so that Sanya will be completely free in the future.
Father Qin glanced at the note, and said nonchalantly: "I can also give the household registration you said, and this note can also be signed, but I have to see if you bring the silver!" ”
Qin Miaomiao sneered, now Daddy Qin only has money in his eyes, and he doesn't recognize people anymore: "Forty taels, one point is a lot, I'll give it to you if you sign it." ”
"Damn, go to the house and take out the pen and ink at the bottom of the box, and I'll sign it!"
Father Qin is used to calling Qin's mother, even if Qin's mother is about to give birth, he still won't help with the work at home.
Father Qin signed the note, collected the money, and waved his hand: "Let's go, I'll be clean when I go." ”
Qin Mu stood aside and seemed to have something to say, but she pursed her lips and didn't say it after all.
Qin Miaomiao didn't stay with Sanya, and went out to leave, Sanya at this time couldn't say that she was happy or sad, but she felt relieved, she didn't have to be forced to marry.
Although Su Mu's house has not yet been completed, Qin Miaomiao has already brought Sanya home, so Su Mu will live with Qin Miaomiao again.
The frame of the house at the bottom of the mountain has been completed, and only some furnishings, tables, chairs and beds are needed in the house, which is barely suitable for people.
Sanya and Qin Miaomiao were lying side by side on the bed like when they were in Qin's house before, and Sanya was inevitably a little excited when she left the house on the first night, and she didn't fall asleep in bed for a long time, she glanced sideways at Qin Miaomiao who was lying beside her, and asked tentatively in a low voice: "Second sister, are you sleeping?"
Because Qin Miaomiao, who got up early in the morning, was indeed a little sleepy, and replied in a daze: "Well, why don't you sleep yet." ”
"Second sister, what will we do in the future?" Leaving her parents, Sanya will play a drum in her heart, after all, this era is not so friendly to women.
"With me, don't worry, I can't starve you." Qin Miaomiao turned over, her sleepy eyes couldn't be opened, she really didn't want to talk to Sanya about the future.
Knowing that Qin Miaomiao was tired, Sanya tucked the quilt for her and didn't speak.
Early the next morning, Qin Miaomiao cooked, and Sanya helped her light the fire, and Doubao didn't know where to play again.
Qin Miaomiao was cutting shredded potatoes when she heard someone calling herself: "Girl, are you busy cooking?" ”
Xunsheng looked up, it turned out to be the old man Li and an old woman who helped her pull the medicinal herbs yesterday, both of them looked at Qin Miaomiao with a smile.
Without introducing Qin Miaomiao, she can guess that this old woman must be Old Man Li's boss companion.
Qin Miaomiao put down the knife and potatoes in her hand, and beckoned the two to sit on the stool: "Uncle, auntie, sit down." ”
The old lady still looked at Qin Miaomiao with a smile, and praised her: "This girl is really good." ”
Qin Miaomiao smiled politely, she knew the purpose of the two of them, she didn't want to talk too much, the more she said now, the more she would be responsible for in the future, she just told them a way to make money, and she couldn't have any promises about the final result.
"Do you want to grow medicinal herbs?" Qin Miaomiao got straight to the point.
The two old men immediately nodded, with some eagerness and flattery: "Yes, yes, I want to plant, I don't know if you are willing to teach the girl." ”
"It's not difficult to say that it is difficult to plant medicinal materials, and it is not easy to say that it is simple, the main thing is to be careful in the early stage, and it will be easier to serve after the medicinal seedlings come out." Qin Miaomiao only planted a crop of three medicinal herbs, and she didn't have too much experience, so it was not so much that she planted well, but that she was lucky.
The two old men nodded humbly while listening: "Girl, where will you sell that kind of thing after you finish it, do you accept all the medicinal herb shops?" ”
"I always go directly to the medicinal herb shop to sell, I inquired before selling, and the medicinal herb shop accepts almost everything." Qin Miaomiao, a medicinal herb shop on West Street, has almost all visited, so she still knows better.
"That's good, don't worry about selling." Whether they can sell it or not is what they are most concerned about, and if they can't sell it, they won't be busy in the end.
The two old men exchanged glances, and Old Man Li opened his mouth: "Cheng, let's plant, the girl has to trouble you to tell us, what is the best thing to plant?" There are so many kinds of medicinal herbs. ”
"I don't know what is the most profitable to plant, astragalus, angelica, Niu Xi I planted these three, of which Niu Xi is the first to sell, I will give you a reference, what to plant you can go to the medicinal herb shop to inquire, which kind of harvest is more, which kind of good species, but can not fight the expensive species, expensive are generally rare, the seedlings do not love to survive, and the seeds are also expensive, there is a risk." Qin Miaomiao's words were ambiguous, she naturally couldn't do everything, if she said it to death, and she didn't make any money, she would definitely complain, and she would be thankless when the time came.
"Cheng, tomorrow I will ask my son, who works in the city, to ask and buy the seeds, and see that the spring is about to come and sow seeds." Old man Li got up as he spoke, and his wife followed closely behind: "Girl, then we'll go." ”
Qin Miaomiao didn't stay, and sent them to the door with a few words of greeting with a smile.
After coming back, he continued to cut shredded potatoes, and Sanya looked at the two old men with his eyes and walked away: "Sister, you are so powerful, you can also grow medicinal herbs!" After saying that, there was a look of adoration and flattery.
Qin Miaomiao smiled, she didn't speak, she would grow a fart! It's just that she loves tossing and pondering more than others, so that her blind cat meets a dead mouse.
However, what surprised Qin Miaomiao the most was not the speed of Old Man Li's work, but the speed of the spread of the news of planting medicinal materials.
Qin Miaomiao didn't know how Old Man Li said it to the villagers, how could he move so many people at once, this eloquence is a gold medal lecturer of micro-business in modern times.
Sanya happily hugged a bundle of straw in the yard, carrying a bucket of water to wet the grass.
Qin Miaomiao looked at Sanya busy working in the yard, and was curious: "Sanya, what are you doing with this straw?" Rubbing straw rope?"
Sanya kept her hands on her and nodded: "Well, let's quickly rub some grass rope and circle a mountain piece to come out, or we will plant more and more medicinal materials, and we will have no land to plant in a few days." ”
As he spoke, he pulled two locks of grass and tied a dead knot, sat on the small wooden board, put the knotted grass in his hand and twisted it, and muttered while rubbing his mouth: "Hurry up, rub more, otherwise there will be no place." ”
Qin Miaomiao saw that Sanya was busy herself, and she just had nothing to do, so she also came over to help.
It's just that this grass rope seems simple, but it is really difficult to get started, even if the grass is wet with water, it is still very rough and piercing when it is twisted in the palm of the hand.
And Qin Miaomiao is not as skilled as Sanya, so she rubs very slowly.
Qin Miaomiao, who was rubbing the straw rope, looked a little absent-minded, she was thinking about planting medicinal materials, there were so many people planting together at once, it was a good thing for her, and it was also a bad thing, and these people were all old crops, and planting things was naturally stronger than her, a two-and-a-half hanger who had crossed over, so there was a chance that they could grow these medicinal materials, and if everyone planted them, there was no doubt that the price of medicinal materials must be reduced.
If you want to make money in business, you must do that no one has me, no one has me, and I have me. What to turn around, the change of career has not yet reached this point, since everyone has planted it, then she has to take the lead, to choose some growth cycle short, mature early, and go on the market before others.
Since the maturity period is short, you can't choose perennial medicinal materials, you must choose annual medicinal materials, although Niu Xi and Astragalus are also annual, but she has already told Old Man Li that these two will definitely be planted on a large scale, so they can't be planted again.
It's not enough to just sit here and think, tomorrow I have to ask Sanya to inquire about what each family plants, and know that they will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
Sanya was very willing to complete the task given to her by Qin Miaomiao, and early in the morning she circled Qin Miaomiao, so she went out to inquire door to door, some of them were not taboo and told her directly, while some of the village households were taboo and hid and didn't say anything.
When she returned home, Sanya recited the most common medicinal herbs and Qin Miaomiao, because she was illiterate and couldn't record it, and it took a long time to walk outside, so she didn't remember a few names when she returned home.
Despite this, Qin Miaomiao was still very pleased, patted Sanya's shoulder and comforted: "Sanya, don't blame you for not remembering, when you are busy with spring planting, my sister will teach you to read, and it will be much more convenient to record things after literacy." ”
"What? Teach me to read?" Sanya was surprised and delighted, literacy can also be something she can't think of, you must know that all the literate women in Hedong Village and Hexi Village can be counted together on one hand, if she can learn to read, then no one will dare to look down on her in the future, especially Liu Erxiao, who is always against herself, he can't read, and he has learned to him to death!
"Hmm." Qin Miaomiao nodded, Sanya is only thirteen years old, she has time to learn anything, and she is so clever, she will definitely learn well.
"Second sister, if I learn to read and write, I will change my name first, and change it to a name that sounds as good as you, I won't be called Sanya, I will be stupid to listen to."
Qin Miaomiao looked at Sanya funny, this name is really rustic, it is good to change it after she recognizes the words herself.
Qin Miaomiao got the news that Sanya told her, and began to select seeds, not only to choose the ones with a short annual maturity period, but also to avoid the ones that these villagers wanted to plant. In this way, her medicinal herbs are sold at a high price and will not be affected.
In the end, Qin Miaomiao took a fancy to medicinal herbs, that is, Wang Buliuxing.
This medicinal herb is very widely used, Qin Miaomiao deliberately looked through the medical technique given to her by Su Mu, and many prescriptions have this flavored medicine. Conduct blood and menstruation, give birth to milk, reduce swelling and sores. Treatment of women with amenorrhea, lack of milk, dystocia, bloody shower, carbuncle, gold sore bleeding. It is used for amenorrhea and lactation.
It is also an annual plant, and the seeds can be ripe and picked in the summer. After studying for a night, Qin Miaomiao decided to plant Wang Buliuxing on the circled mountains.
Qin Miaomiao has always been a man of action, and the next morning, she took Sanya to the town together, they didn't have enough money on hand, Qin Miaomiao carried out a few rabbits at home and planned to sell them.
However, the price given by a few leather goods stores is very low, and I know that the fur in the spring is not worth much, because the animals will lose their hair in the spring, and the wool board is not thick and can not be stretched, so it is naturally not worth the price.
In the end, there was no way to force Qin Miaomiao to carry the rabbit back, and the five rabbits only gave one penny of silver, so it was better to eat it by themselves.
So Qin Miaomiao used the only few coins of silver to buy the seeds of Wang Buliuxing.
Now she has no jumpers, and she and Sanya are carrying rabbits on their backs and rushing back.
While walking, Qin Miaomiao was thinking about it, there were two buckets of thick noodles at home, one bucket of thin noodles and japonica rice, and she and Sanya would save enough food to eat for two months, as for the bean bag, it would hunt more by itself.
So she must make money in about these two months, otherwise there will be no food to eat, and she and Sanya will starve to death.
Remember [Book Fan Building .org] in one second, and read it for free without pop-ups!
The mountains near Qin Miaomiao's house have never been so lively, because the spring planting should be in response to the solar terms, so the villagers will rush together, after the weather warms up, everyone began to sort out the mountain pieces and start sowing, Qin Miaomiao and Sanya also joined the army that can plant medicine.
The main force is, of course, Qin Miaomiao, and Sanya just helps her transport the weeds shoveled down out of the medicine field, and then helps her cook or something.
The work in the farmland is really tiring, Qin Miaomiao feels like she is going to fall apart every day, and her arms and legs are not her own. However, the strength will not be in vain, Qin Miaomiao has been busy for more than ten days, and has put all the seeds of Wang Buliuxing into the ground.
In order to reward herself, Qin Miaomiao wanted to slaughter a rabbit to eat, after all, it was worthless to sell it, and it had been raised for more than half a year, and it was already big enough.
Qin Miaomiao, who killed chickens or something, was still caught by hand, this rabbit was the first time she slaughtered it, and she had no idea where to start, so she walked a few times back and forth in the yard with the rabbit's ears, and she didn't think of a good way, Qin Miaomiao at this time looked a little anxious.
However, the bean bag was very happy, and followed Qin Miaomiao back and forth with his teeth bared, this rabbit wanted to eat it last winter, so it seemed a little impatient.
Sanya stood at the door and watched this person and a dog walking back and forth in the yard, and couldn't help but speak: "Sister, why don't we drown the rabbit." ”
Drown? Qin Miaomiao felt a little cruel: "Is there any other way to let it die faster?"
Sanya was a little embarrassed, and she didn't know how to kill it, but she suddenly remembered that Liu Xiaoer had caught the rabbit, but now she still had palpitations about his killing method, and immediately reminded: "Anyway, you can't cut your throat with a knife and bleed, it will scream!" It's terrifying! ”
Qin Miaomiao immediately felt extremely happy when she heard Sanya's words, fortunately she didn't cut it with a knife just now.
After thinking about it for a long time, I still didn't think of a good way, and finally caught another rabbit and went out with two rabbits: "Sanya, you wait for me at home, and I cooked the meal by the way." ”
When Doubao saw Qin Miaomiao going out, he hurriedly trotted to keep up, probably afraid that Qin Miaomiao would eat alone.
Carrying the rabbit to Su Mu's door, he was using bamboo to beat furniture, tables and chairs in the yard, and when he saw Qin Miaomiao coming with a rabbit in his hand, he put down the tools in his hand and wiped the bamboo chips in his hand with a cloth towel on the side.
Qin Miaomiao looked at Su Mu's every move, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this good appearance is different, the ordinary appearance of playing furniture is working, he is doing handicrafts and hobbies with such a high appearance.
"What are you doing with rabbits?"
Qin Miaomiao immediately smiled attentively: "Su Langzhong is tired of building a house these days, I'll bring you a rabbit to make up for it." ”
Su Mu listened to Qin Miaomiao's words, raised his sword eyebrows, and his voice was teasing: "Didn't you take two?" That's just a follow-out to relax?"
"It's not a distraction, I think Su Langzhong killed me when he killed that rabbit, and I will make up for it by the way." Qin Miaomiao smiled even brighter, trying her best to hide her embarrassment.
"Isn't it quite skilled at killing chickens? You've killed all of my chickens. "Su Mu's chicken Qin Miao Miao did eat most of it.
"I can't kill rabbits, so I don't know where to start." Qin Miaomiao had no choice but to tell the truth, she really didn't know how to start.
Su Mu glanced at Qin Miaomiao and turned into the house, and when he came out, he was carrying a jar of wine in his hand, Qin Miaomiao looked at Su Mu with some horror, what was the rabbit doing with the wine while he was still alive? It hasn't changed into a snack yet, has it? Eat it alive?
The wine jar in Su Mu's hand was handed to Qin Miaomiao: "Let it drink." ”
"Who drank it?" Qin Miaomiao subconsciously asked.
"Rabbits, drink a big glass each." Su Mu replied without being salty, and looked at Qin Miaomiao with mentally handicapped eyes.
Although Qin Miaomiao didn't know why, she still chose to give in for the sake of rabbit meat, and after taking the wine, she began to do the ideological work of the two rabbits.
The skin of the mouth was thinned, and it took all his strength to let the two rabbits drink a few sips of wine, the amount of wine of the rabbit was really shallow, but the time of a pillar of incense the two rabbits who drank the wine lay on the ground and did not move.
The task was completed, Qin Miaomiao lifted the rabbit to Su Mu, Su Mu's technique was skillful, hanging the two rabbits upside down, and knocking them hard with a wooden stick on the back of the rabbit's neck, and Comrade Rabbit said goodbye to Qin Miaomiao forever.
Followed by bleeding and peeling the skin, in one go, Qin Miaomiao sighed in her heart, Su Mu's knife technique is also okay to be a chef.
Satisfied, he walked back with the rabbit meat, silently warning himself in his heart, 'Don't drink if you're fine.' ’
Rabbit meat has a kind of magic, that is, what kind of meat it stews with, it will become a meaty taste, but Qin Miaomiao has no other meat at home, so he can only stew it himself.
After a beautiful meal, Qin Miaomiao lay on the bed and didn't want to move.
After the work in the medicine field is done, the next thing is the vegetable field.
She and Sanya doubled the size of the vegetable plot together, and left a lot of seeds, cucumbers, eggplants, and greens last year, so that in the summer, you can go directly to the vegetable field to pick whatever you want to eat, which is trouble-free and fresh.
After finishing all the things in the field, Qin Miaomiao began to be given the medical book given to her by Su Mu, and she was busy in the field for a while, delaying for a few days.
One day, Qin Miaomiao was reciting a medical book at home, and Sanya ran back in a hurry, looking at her expression, she got a big gossip, Qin Miaomiao was naturally curious, and put down the book: "Sanya, what happened?" What to run? ”
Sanya picked up the teapot and drank a large glass of water first, and looked at Qin Miaomiao with a very funny expression: "Sister, I went to see Siya and Wuya just now, and they told me that my mother was born." ”
Qin Miaomiao calculated the days slightly, and it was almost time for Qin's mother to give birth, but why did she seem so excited, could it be: "Gave birth to a boy?"
Sanya's eyes immediately widened, and she looked at Qin Miaomiao in surprise: "Sister, how do you know?" I was born yesterday. ”
Qin Miaomiao smiled and nodded Sanya's forehead: "Seeing you like that, I guessed it." ”
"Eh, sister, you're really god, you can guess this." Sanya Ya still felt that Qin Miaomiao was powerful, and she didn't guess when she told her.
Father Qin was so happy that he didn't know what his surname was at this time, and now he went to the city to buy firecrackers and came back.
Regardless of the time, the crackling hanging at the door was let go, attracting many people in the village to come and watch, and those who lived far away didn't know what was going on, Lao Chen couldn't help but ask: "Daddy Qin, what are you doing with firecrackers every year?"
Father Qin smiled so much that his triangular eyes couldn't open, and the wrinkles on his face turned into a chrysanthemum: "Haha, my daughter-in-law gave birth to a son for me!" "At this time, Daddy Qin was cured of all his illnesses, and his legs and feet were also flexible, jumping three feet high.
"Tut, it's not easy, it's a post, it's not a dead end." Lao Chen pursed his lips, his tone was sour, and he turned around and left.
Everyone was lively enough, and after saying a few words of congratulations, they all dispersed, and only Father Qin was still standing at the door happily.
Since Qin's mother gave birth to a boy, Qin's father's attitude towards Qin's mother has also changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and all the work outside the house has been covered, afraid that Qin's mother will be tired from work, and the milk will become less, and his baby son will be hungry.
Qin's mother felt her husband's warmth for the first time in so many years of marrying Qin's father, sitting on the bed with the child in her arms, laughing and teasing: "Son, good son, you are my mother's life!" ”
As the saying goes, good things come in pairs, recently Daddy Qin's good days have really come, not only has he got a son, but there are also people in the town who have brought letters, it is Qin Ruhua, who has been missing for a long time.
After reading Qin Ruhua's letter, Qin's father almost cried with joy, it turned out that Qin Ruhua was bought by an old rich man a few days after entering the brothel.
The old rich man liked her very much, and the son who went to the capital to be an official actually took her to the capital too, and she opened the door to a new world at once, who had never seen the world.
In the letter, he gave Father Qin and Mother Qin a suitable opportunity to join her.
After reading the letter, Father Qin looked up with a face that smiled like a chrysanthemum, and paced back and forth in the room: "Eh, I just said that the blind fortune teller will not lie to me, we are picturesque, that is a great deal!" Look at the rich life, don't you? Married to the capital. ”
Mother Qin nodded with a smile on the side: "Yes, she is still filial, and she doesn't forget us when she gets married, we don't hurt her in vain." ”
At this time, Father Qin was close to the mad demon, and there was a bright light in his eyes: "Eh, the capital!" Do you know the capital? What kind of place is that, we are going, we will prepare immediately, and when Kuo'er grows up, maybe he can become an official, and glorify his ancestors! ”
"Yes, yes. Let's get ready now! "Of course, Qin Mu is a hundred in agreement.
Time flies, and after a month of hard work, Qin Miaomiao memorized the medical book that Su Mu gave her.
Holding the medical book, she felt that her brain had been hollowed out.
She would go to Su Mu to take the exam every ten days, and Su Mu would immediately turn out a chapter for her to memorize, and if she couldn't memorize it, she would go back and write it a hundred times, so this month Qin Miaomiao felt that she had taken the college entrance examination again.
Qin Miaomiao summarized the content of this medical book, which is equivalent to theoretical knowledge, and she felt that the next thing should be to teach herself how to diagnose the pulse.
But the result made her cry without tears, and Su Mu took out another book of medical theory knowledge for her, which made her deeply feel that the sea of learning is endless, boundless, and endless.
"Su Langzhong, how many more medical books like this do I have to memorize?" She wanted to know how far she had come in medicine.
Su Mu didn't raise his head, and replied casually: "One hundred or ten copies, you are too slow to memorize, start to speed up from this one, and memorize one in half a month." ”
Qin Miaomiao licked her lips, and finally swallowed her words back, she knew that teachers had a common problem, and the more they resisted the oppression, the more serious it would be. If you say that you can't memorize it for half a month, he will let you memorize it for ten days.
Every time Qin Miaomiao saw Su Mu, the time she saw Su Mu was shortened from once every ten days to once every five days, which was the only thing that made her feel excited.
Sanya is also very busy every day, Qin Miaomiao will give her homework every day, but she is not as dark as Su Mu, she will ask Sanya to learn to write ten words every day. In a month, Sanya's progress has also been great.
Qin Miaomiao is reciting medical books every day, she believes that Su Mu is teaching her sincerely, not perfunctory, after Qin Miaomiao memorizes each chapter, Su Mu will explain word by word, and he will repeat the obscure places several times, and even mark them carefully.
Whenever this time, Qin Miaomiao would sit quietly on the side, staring at Su Mu with full attention, handsome and neat side face, clean and comfortable clothes, Qin Miaomiao even felt that Su Mu was shining at this time, and the little fan girl's heart was sweet and satisfied, because at this time, she was the only one who monopolized Su Mu, and no one could share it.
Perhaps feeling Qin Miaomiao's hot gaze, Su Mu, who was concentrating on annotating, suddenly raised his head, and Qin Miaomiao, who met his eyes, was caught off guard, and immediately lowered his eyelids, nervous and cramped.
Su Mu's eyes of admiration for Qin Miaomiao were also slightly stunned, his heartbeat missed a row, and then the identities of the two were exchanged, and at this time, Su Mu stared at Qin Miaomiao silently, but Su Mu's expression converged quickly, and after a while, it had already returned to normal.
Qin Miaomiao's friendship for him had actually been felt for a long time, but he was reluctant to understand, he forced himself not to explore, hurting others and hurting himself.
A cold voice came: "I've given you an annotation, go back and take a serious look, I'll take the exam in time." ”
Qin Miaomiao raised her head suddenly, a little stunned: "Huh? Well, okay. "She was really distracted. She's smoothing out the relationship between them.
But I found that the more I thought about it, the more chaotic it became, if Su Mu didn't like him, why was he so good to himself? I haven't seen him like this to others, but if he says he likes himself, he will leave him. Does he have any scruples, or is there some hidden illness that cannot be spoken?
Qin Miaomiao was taken aback by her own thoughts, and looked at Su Mu in surprise, her eyes rolled, but she didn't open her mouth for a long time, she had the face to ask, and it was estimated that Su Mu didn't have the face to answer, not only would she not answer, but she would also be thrown out of the yard.
Su Mu ignored Qin Miaomiao's expression and changed again, his eyes were still cold and lofty, and he was used to being cold and detached: "Go back with the medical book, I'm tired too." ”
Qin Miaomiao obediently held the medical book and retreated, but her heart was still in a mess, her thoughts just now suddenly untied all the knots between them, and everything made sense.
She shamelessly guessed that Su Mu liked herself, but he had a hidden illness, and even if he liked himself, he couldn't stay with him, so he hid his feelings and silently treated himself, so touched! Qin Miaomiao burst into tears when she thought about it, this was really a surprising discovery!
But when she gets home, there are even more surprises waiting for her!
The front foot has just entered the yard, and the back foot Sanya has also blown into the yard like a whirlwind, and it is the first time to see Sanya running so fast, it seems that this girl is a good seedling for running errands!
Qin Miaomiao just wanted to tease Sanya a few words, but when she saw her face full of tears, her little face was flushed, and she didn't know whether she was anxious or tired: "Sanya, what's wrong?" Who bullied you?"
Sanya gasped and cried: "Second sister, it's all over!" Come with me to take a look, let others cut all the medicinal herbs and seedlings in our field! ”
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a good drink, Qin Miaomiao and Sanya have worked hard for half a month, not to mention, those medicinal materials are the hope of the two of them this year, if they are all destroyed, then the two of them will not be able to live this year.
Pulling Sanya all the way to the medicinal herb field in the back mountain, as Sanya said, the one-foot-tall medicinal herb seedlings mixed with the weeds that grew were cut off by the stickers of the brush, and they were placed all over the ground.
Qin Miaomiao suddenly trembled with anger, this person thought about destroying them completely, the medicinal herb seedlings grew so tall before they came to destroy the field, that is, they calculated the right time, so that she did not succeed this year, and all the medicinal seedlings were cut off, there was no way to plant them again, even if Qin Miaomiao replanted this land, he would come out and repeat the old tricks, it was easy to catch thieves and difficult to prevent thieves, this villain was not caught, no more she planted no more will not have a harvest.
In fact, who did it Qin Miaomiao had already guessed in her heart, she came here to offend only those few people, the Qin family, Chen He and the Han family, and it is not difficult to destroy more than two acres of land, one person with a sickle is afraid that it will be over in two or three hours, so for a while, Qin Miaomiao couldn't guess which of them ruined his medicine field.
Looking at the wilted medicinal seedlings all over the ground, Qin Miaomiao felt both resentful and frustrated, she wasted a lot of effort to select seeds and sow seeds, but she was completely ruined by people day and night, she couldn't swallow this breath!
She's got to find out the man!
When she returned home with Sanya, Qin Miaomiao's dinner was not eaten well, and all she was thinking about was how to force the person who destroyed the medicine field to show up, otherwise she would not be able to swallow this evil breath.
Sanya is also listless, she is also on fire, and finally has a little hope for a harvest, but she doesn't know that she will be ruined by a thousand knives, and she will die of frustration!
Within a few days, the farmers who planted medicinal herbs knew that Qin Miaomiao's medicinal field had been destroyed, and the villagers were not surprised by this small action, only knowing that Qin Miaomiao had offended people.
Old man Li's wife deliberately went to Qin Miaomiao's house, and when she saw Qin Miaomiao and Sanya listless, she knew that they were angry about this matter, and said a few words of comfort: "Qin girl, don't get angry, think of a way to plant something else, isn't it in vain to clean up the waste?" ”
Qin Miaomiao nodded, she knew that this eldest lady was kind, but she didn't have enough money now, so she wanted to wait: "Auntie, I'll plant it again in a while." ”
The eldest lady looked at Qin Miaomiao, looking a little worried: "Girl, think about whether you have offended anyone, you and your sister live together, you and your sister should be careful, it is small to destroy your medicine field, don't do anything to the two of you, people's hearts are so dark!" ”
Qin Miaomiao nodded obediently, and the eldest mother's words reminded her that she had to guard against it. Although these days are much more peaceful, others want to harm you, and it doesn't matter the time.
Su Mu also knew about the destruction of Qin Miaomiao's medicinal field, but he didn't ask too much, he naturally thought of who did it.
"Girl, from today onwards, while you endorse, I will also teach you medical skills, look at and hear, and ask for the best hope. You're going to have to work hard to memorize everything I've taught you. ”
Qin Miaomiao's mood has been low for the past few days, but when she heard that Su Mu was finally going to teach herself something substantial, she still couldn't hide her excitement: "Can you teach me to diagnose a disease like this?" That's great! ”
"I'll start with simplicity and hand it over to you slowly, so listen carefully, and don't rush for quick success."
Qin Miaomiao naturally agreed, sitting in front of Su Mu, staring at Su Mu with two eyes, waiting for him to speak.
"Hope is a face-to-face diagnosis, as the name suggests, it is to look at the five senses, look at the complexion, and distinguish the diseases of the viscera." Su Mu tried his best to be straightforward and easy to understand.
Qin Miaomiao nodded to show that she understood, and Su Mu continued to speak: "The interview is divided into two parts, one is to look at the color, and the other is to look at the face......"
Su Mu talked a lot, and Qin Miaomiao listened to it with an open mind, afraid that she would forget something for a while, so she took notes on the key points.
Teachers like students who are serious and studious, so Qin Miaomiao is so serious and hard-working, Su Mu is also quite comfortable and happy to look at, he hopes that Qin Miaomiao will become mature and strong, and he can live well without anyone, so he can handle it alone. In the future, he can't always accompany her, maybe someone will accompany her, but when she needs to face it alone, she can also cope with the difficulties more than she needs, sometimes you have to walk alone, this is not loneliness, but choice.
Qin Miaomiao would go to the mountains every morning to collect medicine, and after lunch, she would go to Su Mu's house to learn medical skills, she was busy and fulfilling, and she really studied hard, so she made great progress, whenever Su Mu praised her, she would turn around and pat Su Mu's ass.
Half a month of medicinal materials had already been saved, and Qin Miaomiao carried her cloth bag and stubbornly went to the Suwen Hall in the city.
Shopkeeper Lin was free today, drinking tea in the store, and Qin Miaomiao entered the shop with a smile.
Qin Miaomiao summed up one point, when she goes out to talk and do things, a smiling face will make things easy to lose, don't think that laughing is low, a person's nobility and lowliness are not determined by a flat facial expression.
"Shopkeeper Lin, aren't you busy today?" Qin Miaomiao said hello and put down the medicinal herbs.
Shopkeeper Lin and Qin Miaomiao were already very familiar, so they spoke casually: "The girl has come to sell medicinal herbs again, why have you been so diligent recently?" ”
When it came to diligence, Qin Miaomiao seemed a little depressed, didn't she want to save the money for the medicinal herb seeds as soon as possible, "My field was destroyed by others, and there was no harvest, so I had to save money for the winter." ”
Boss Lin looked at Qin Miaomiao's old-fashioned appearance and couldn't help but smile: "Guarding Su Langzhong is afraid that there will be no money to spend the winter?"
"I have my own hands and feet, and I can't rely on others to live." Qin Miaomiao has to rely on herself to live a life of eating and drinking!
Shopkeeper Lin teased while pulling the medicinal materials brought by Qin Miaomiao: "The girl is quite ambitious, but you can't sell the medicine accurately, what if you can't pick it?" ”
The words of the forest medicine box were asked so that Qin Miaomiao didn't answer for a long time, yes, it is difficult to dig up herbs in winter, and it is not easy to catch live animals, although ginseng can be harvested in autumn, but the harvest is not good, then she and Sanya will have no surplus food for the winter.
With a few dollars of silver from the sale of medicinal materials, Qin Miaomiao walked back with a heavy heart, how could she have a stable income? It seems that it is not enough to rely on farming alone, after all, relying on the sky to eat, not guaranteed, do some small business? But what to do?
Something in her heart, in the middle of the night, Qin Miaomiao lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, listening to the gentle and shallow breathing of Sanya and Doubao, Qin Miaomiao felt the burden on her shoulders even more, and suddenly sat up from the bed, she thought of a small deal, the cost was not big, but she was a little tired.
Ge Jun didn't leave, but after a few days of getting along, he didn't have any malice, he was just a beggar with nowhere to stay, and Ge Jun was very diligent, Qin Miaomiao cooked, he immediately helped make a fire, Qin Miaomiao cleaned up the house, and he also followed the table to wipe his hands, which was quite attentive.
But even so, Su Mu was still very tired of him, and he didn't want to look at him, but he didn't worry about Qin Miaomiao being alone with him, so the three of them became an inseparable strange combination.
At night, Ge Jun slept in Qin Miaomiao's mushroom house, and Qin Miaomiao went to Su Mu's house to rub his accommodation.
Time seems to run away, it has reached the foot of the year, and tomorrow is the 30th Chinese New Year's Eve.
They have been eating and drinking together for the past few days, and this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner must also be eaten together.
Although Ge Jun couldn't hear with his ears, he could guess the shape of people's mouths by looking at them, so it was not difficult to communicate, but every time he talked to him, Qin Miaomiao would deliberately slow down his speech.
Qin Miaomiao was preparing the ingredients for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner by the stove, while Su Mu leaned on the rocking chair next to the table to read a medical book, Ge Jun surrounded Qin Miaomiao's help in front of and behind him, opening his mouth and closing his mouth was full of praise for Qin Miaomiao: "Miaomiao, you are so powerful, you will do this!" ”
"Miao Miao, you have such a clever mind, this dish must be delicious with such a combination!"
"Miao Miao, you are better than a chef, this dish is so finely cut!"
"Miao Miao......" Although she knew that Ge Junzui was sweet and loved to pat on the back, Qin Miaomiao was still very useful for this trick, and she was in a happy mood when she heard it, and the whole person was fluttering.
But she only cared about listening to her ears comfortably, but she didn't notice that Su Mu's face was terrifyingly black at this time, his eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire, and he stared at Ge Jun, eager to burn him immediately.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is the sumptuous meal of the year, and every family must be fully prepared, and Qin Miaomiao also prepared twelve dishes, symbolizing the twelve months of the year. Large households, those who pay attention to pomp and circumstance will prepare twenty-four dishes, symbolizing the twenty-four solar terms, because there are only three people, Qin Miaomiao did not prepare so much, he couldn't eat it and threw it away, of course, he also prepared dumpling filling and noodles, and the staple food was dumplings.
Doubao also knew that there would be good food at home today, and the dishes were sumptuous, so he obediently had to stay at home, lying at Su Mu's feet and watching Qin Miaomiao prepare a meal for himself.
Ge Jun was still chattering and didn't listen, Su Mu's eyes were full of disgust, and he glanced at him coldly, and Ge Jun also noticed Su Mu's eyes, and didn't care much: "Miao Miao, your cooking skills are so good, who will marry you in the future, but you have a mouthful!"
With a loud bang, Qin Miaomiao's hands trembled with fright, and the dough in his hand almost came off, and Ge Jun was also taken aback, but it was not as big as Qin Miaomiao's reaction, because he had already noticed Su Mu's hateful gaze.
The two of them looked at the source of this loud noise, it turned out that Su Mu slammed the medical book in his hand on the table, and at this time he was also looking at the two of them, and secretly scolded in his heart, "Meng Lang's disciple, full of rhetoric." ”
The three of them only looked at each other, but did not speak, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, Su Mu suddenly got up, waved his wide sleeves, and walked away.
Leaving the two looking at each other, Ge Jun looked at the direction in which Su Mu was leaving and suddenly realized: "Angry? , our ......"
Qin Miaomiao hurriedly covered Ge Jun's mouth and didn't let him say the next sentence.
Ge Jun didn't care about knocking off Qin Miaomiao's hand, and was about to finish speaking, but before he could speak, Qin Miaomiao opened his mouth first: "Shut up, you will waste the injury just right, and he will kill you if he gets angry." "What Qin Miaomiao said is true.
Ge Jun looked at her serious expression and couldn't help laughing: "Hehe, can I be afraid of that girl's chatter?" looks like neither male nor female, who does the yin and yang weird all day long? ”
Hearing Ge Jun say this, Qin Miaomiao was a little displeased, and glanced at him up and down a few times: "If you don't like to look at it, just leave, who will keep you?"
Ge Jun was stunned by Qin Miaomiao's words, and his boring mouth flattened: "You still help him speak, that is, you, if others are far away from him." ”
"Then you can go, no one will stop you." Qin Miaomiao put the dishes and ingredients that had changed the knife one by one, and packed them on a pallet, and was busy with herself, not taking care of Gejun.
She felt that Ge Jun was not a good person, although Su Mu was at fault for injuring him, but he had already treated him and taken him in, and he was not grateful for his favor, but he was still ridiculed everywhere, and he didn't know if he was too young or had a problem with his character.
Seeing that Qin Miaomiao ignored him, Ge Jun walked to Doubao's side a little stupidly, Doubao has always been united with Qin Miaomiao, so Qin Miaomiao ignored Ge Jun, and it didn't pay attention to Ge Jun.
It's not too early to prepare the ingredients, start the fire and boil the oil, and Qin Miaomiao will put the chicken that needs to be stewed for a long time into the pot first.
Heat the clear soybean oil, add green onion and garlic to stir-fry, and then pour in the chicken nuggets and stir-fry, the chicken nuggets are poured into the hot oil and immediately tightened, and the aroma of the chicken is also dispersed.
But Qin Miaomiao doesn't like it, she thinks Ge Jun is like a smoked chicken leg with a beautiful appearance, and her appetite is full of charm when she first sees it, but she wants to go down in one bite, the meat is loose and loose, it is not as good as the taste, and she can't taste it carefully, but it's still good to be a friend, sunny and optimistic, and her appearance can also be beaten.
And Su Mu, it is Su Mu, it is estimated that it is the reason for looking at the right eye, Qin Miaomiao feels that as far as the relationship between men and women is concerned, Su Mu is now a man in her eyes.
"Miao Miao, your chicken is so fragrant, and the saliva of the hook is flowing out." Ge Junti slipped through the running water, as if it really flowed out.
After putting the condiments one by one, Qin Miaomiao added water and began to simmer, at which time she could go to the other side of the stove and start making small picket vegetables.
Qin Miaomiao was busy outside, and Su Mu was not idle, at this time he moved his position to the house, stood at the window, and looked at Ge Jun through the crack in the window.
He has been in a bad mood for the past few days, seeing that Ge Jun is not pleasing to the eye is just one of them, and the other is that he is angry with himself, he knows that he has to control his emotions, but when he sees Ge Jun's courteous appearance towards Qin Miaomiao, he can't help but be angry.
He kept comforting himself that it must be that Ge Jun was too frivolous and floating, and he didn't like it to be so disgusted with him, it must not be for any other reason, and he was not allowed to do so.
Stir-frying, stir-frying, roasting sauce and stewing, one dish after another out of the pot and on the plate, soon the table is full, the final dumplings out of the pot and on the plate, this large table of hearty Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is ready.
Ge Jun was drooling on the side, and without a bean bag to stop him, I am afraid he would have rushed up a long time ago.
Qin Miaomiao took off her apron and wiped her hands: "I'll go and ask Su Langzhong to eat." ”
Ge Jun had already been seated at the table, three people and a dog sat around the table, Su Mu looked at the table full of dishes in a trance, he had been wandering alone for so many years, and he had never paid attention to the New Year's Festival, he was already alone, he didn't like to be lively, and the New Year's Festival was just saddening for him.
Qin Miaomiao sat at the table with a smile and explained the meaning of the dishes she made one by one: "This chicken stewed mushroom means good luck, and this cold lotus root slices means smooth journey." ”
Ge Jun had been salivating for a long time, and picked up a piece of ribs and put it in the bowl: "What about this?" What's the implication?"
Qin Miaomiao smiled a little proudly: "The ribs are cut into sections, which means that they are rising." ”
Ge Jun ate with relish, but Su Mu didn't move his chopsticks for a long time, and Qin Miaomiao didn't see it, so he took a piece of fish and removed the fish bones and put it in the bowl in front of him: "Su Langzhong, eat fast fish, there is more than enough every year." ”
Su Mu is cooperative, put the selected fish meat in his mouth, chew it carefully, the fish is steamed, a layer of soy sauce is poured on it, the entrance is fresh and sweet, there is no earthy smell, seeing that Su Mu is satisfied, Qin Miaomiao smiled sweetly, and there was a sense of invitation between his words: "How is it?" Is it tasty? This fish was bought yesterday when I went to the dock in the town to queue up, knowing that you don't eat river fish, so I specially bought the sea fish that I went out to sea and caught back. ”
Su Mu nodded, quite satisfied, he was not only satisfied with the delicious fish, but also with Qin Miaomiao's carefulness with him.
Ge Jun pursed his lips, like a resentful woman who had been left out in the cold: "I love beef, do I?" ”
"No, there's no beef here." Qin Miaomiao replied casually, but Qin Miaomiao didn't mean to be perfunctory, she originally wanted to buy some beef and come back to make sauce beef, but she searched all over West Street and couldn't find it.
The reason asked Yang Liu to know, this cow is a good helper for the people to farm, no one is willing to slaughter and eat meat, who has a cow are good grass and good fodder, even if the cow is old, can not live to die, generally will not eat its meat, one is because of the family to do a lifetime of work, eat its meat in the heart can not bear, the second to raise more than ten years of day and night companionship, and the owner is emotional, can not mouth, so here the cattle will be buried after the old death, over time no one eats beef.
Ge Jun doesn't understand this, his hometown is full of cattle and sheep, and beef and mutton are the main dishes during the New Year's Festival, so he feels that Qin Miaomiao is partial and does not prepare for him, after all, he is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy who knows little about these customs and customs, so he opened his mouth with a vinegar taste: "Yo, people are different." ”
During the Chinese New Year, Qin Miaomiao didn't want to pay attention to him, so he simply didn't squeak, and put a chopsticks of shepherd's cabbage into the Sumu bowl: "Boiled shepherd's cabbage, treasure beckons." ”
Su Mu glanced at Ge Jun and saw that she was upset because Qin Miaomiao had been serving vegetables for herself, but as a result, he swept away the depression just now, but his mood immediately improved, and the dishes on the table were also very delicious.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Qin Miaomiao took out the firecrackers sold back in the town, and after a lot of hard begging, Su Mu agreed to go with her to set off firecrackers, and Ge Jun didn't go because Qin Miaomiao didn't call him, and he didn't go, and he took the bean bag back to the mushroom house.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Vientiane was renewed, early in the morning, Qin Miaomiao put on new clothes made with Yang Liu, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, her skin was naturally smooth and delicate, plus she was already white, and the red color made her full of vitality.
It's just that Qin Miaomiao's hands are a little remnant, and the cumbersome bun can't be combed out, so she can only tie up her hair like a man and tie it with a hair rope, which is less soft and more heroic.
Because she had to eat dumplings in the morning, she got up early, and before Su Mu got up, she had already reconciled the noodles and was preparing the filling.
Su Mu was as usual, casually wearing a plain robe, he didn't like dark clothes, the robes were all light colors.
It may be the reason for Xi Shi in the eyes of his lover, Qin Miaomiao felt that Su Mu had actually worn this robe of burlap cloth with a fairy spirit.
Seeing Qin Miaomiao walking over by the stove, Qin Miaomiao noticed that he was holding a purse-like bag in his hand: "Happy New Year!" Before Su Mu got closer, Qin Miaomiao had already said hello, which was the first thing they said this year.
Su Mu had a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and it seemed that he was in a good mood, and handed the purse in his hand to Qin Miaomiao, his expression was still arrogant: "The New Year's money for you." ”
Qin Miaomiao raised her eyebrows, and Huanxi immediately climbed the mountain eyebrows, put down the stuffing basin in her hand and took the purse, and opened it with a smile: "Wow, wow, wow, Su Langzhong, you are so generous, ten taels of silver?" That's too much. ”
In the past three months, Qin Miaomiao paid him back nine taels, and a New Year's money was sent back.
Qin Miaomiao sealed the purse, raised her hand and handed it back to Su Mu, thinking that she could hand over the scattered few coins of silver by herself, but these ten taels were too much, and she couldn't accept them.
Su Mu didn't care: "Take it, the girl has a lot of places to use money, so she can buy something if she likes." ”
Qin Miaomiao gave a happy look, a little embarrassed, she didn't expect Su Mu to give her New Year's money, so she didn't prepare anything, and felt a little embarrassed at this time: "Su Langzhong, I still don't accept it, the silver you gave is a bit much, not to mention that I haven't prepared the New Year's money for you yet." ”
Su Mu looked at Qin Miaomiao amusedly, and quipped: "This New Year's money is given to children by the elders, what do you prepare for me?" Accept it, it's unlucky not to collect the New Year's money. ”
He is ten years older than her, and he has always treated her as a child, Qin Miaomiao was a little frustrated when she thought of this, and kissed herself that night when she treated herself as a child? disturbed his own pool of spring water, but he apologized and retreated, dead man!
Qin Miaomiao didn't shirk, put her purse in her sleeve pocket, and set a New Year's goal for herself, this year Lao Tzu is going to accept you, a fake and serious dead man, and your money will be Lao Tzu in the coming year.
Su Mu saw Qin Miaomiao accept the New Year's money, hooked the corners of his mouth and asked unprecedentedly, "Do you use me to help make dumplings?" ”
In the past, Qin Miaomiao was just watching or busy with his own things when he cooked, and he never offered to help, so that Qin Miaomiao was used to being busy with his own work, and he suddenly proposed to work Qin Miaomiao was inevitably surprised: "Well, you can do whatever you want." ”
Although Su Mu can cook, Qin Miaomiao thinks that Su Mu can't do such a complicated thing as making dumplings.
Su Mu smiled, and his tone was unconcealable: "I will do it if you will, and I will if you can't." ”
"Will you be flirting?" Qin Miaomiao blurted out without thinking.
"What? Flirting with what?" Qin Miaomiao's speed of speech was a little fast, Su Mu didn't hear clearly, and asked while pulling his cuffs.
"It's nothing, it's nothing...... Qin Miaomiao pulled the corners of her mouth and replied with a smirk, but she was snorting coldly in her heart, "I'll flirt with you, do you want to help cooperate?"
The meat filling made of shiitake mushrooms and pork, Qin Miaomiao was afraid of getting tired and blanched a few cabbage leaves and minced them inside.
Qin Miaomiao mixed the stuffing, Su Mu kneaded the dough on the side, kneading the dough, Qin Miaomiao looked at Su Mu with his eyes while stuffing, I didn't expect Su Mu to really make dumplings and make it decent.
She was a little curious about how Su Mu learned to do this in this era when men were respected.
She knows how to cook for the sake of survival, and in modern times, her mother's cooking is not only difficult to swallow, but she can't even look at it, it's all spicy-eyed dark dishes.
Because her parents both work in the hospital, her father is a surgeon, and her mother is the head nurse of the same hospital, so she is very busy with work, Qin Miaomiao has been living with her grandmother, and later her grandmother died, she learned to cook and take care of herself when she was in junior high school, but how did Su Mu learn.
As soon as Qin Miaomiao wanted to speak, two figures, one tall and one short, came in from outside the courtyard, and the bean bag ran to Qin Miaomiao's leg and rubbed it, looking at the stuffing pot in Qin Miaomiao's hand curiously, as if asking her what she was eating today?
Ge Jun also watched the two of them busy with their work, and asked the words of the bean bag: "What are we eating?" ”
"Dumplings, didn't you eat them yesterday?" Qin Miaomiao replied while busy rolling the skin.
I ate it yesterday, but Gejun didn't know what the ball with minced meat and vegetables was in this noodle, it was originally called dumplings, and there was no such way to eat it in his hometown.
After the dumplings were wrapped in the pot, Ge Jun waited for the dumplings to come out of the pot and asked: "Are there any other activities besides eating during the New Year?" Wouldn't it be a little too boring. ”
Qin Miaomiao glanced at him: "Bored, don't eat it, just eat the dumplings in a while, I plan to go to the temple in the town to pray for incense, will you go?"
"To the town?" When he heard this, Gejun in the town was a little reluctant: "Did you play in the village?" It's too far from town. Gejun was reluctant to go.
"There's nothing to play in the village, but if you don't want to go, you can chop all the firewood at home."
"Go! I'll go! Gejun didn't want to leave chopping wood, but this summer and his hometown are much more boring than the New Year, his hometown will light a fire tower during the New Year, starting from Chinese New Year's Eve and burning until the fifteenth day of the first month, and for ten days, all the people will not work and graze, each family will slaughter a cow and a few sheep, invite each other to a feast, and a large group of people will gather together all day to laugh, sing and dance.
So when Gejun came here, he felt too lonely and even a little boring.
Originally, Su Mu didn't plan to go to the temple to pray for blessings, he felt that he had been rejected by this world, and there was no difference between asking and not asking, but Qin Miaomiao went to him and was a little worried about her safety. Even if Ge Jun follows him, he is still not at ease, hairy boy.
Almost the whole village is going to the town today, so there is an endless stream of people on the official road, and there is no need to wait for more people to go together. Qin Miaomiao and Su Mu walked ahead, while Ge Jun followed a few steps away from them and walked unhurriedly. Qin Miaomiao looked back at Ge Jun from time to time, with a strange expression.
But this also can't complain that Qin Miaomiao is curious, Ge Jun wrapped himself tightly, Qin Miaomiao asked Ge Jun what he was doing, Ge Jun said that it was because his appearance would attract the attention of others, he didn't want people to stare all the time, but Qin Miaomiao felt that Ge Jun's answer was a bit perfunctory.
The temple is crowded today, whether it is a powerful landlord, a farmer or a fisherman, people from all walks of life, ten miles and eight villages gather here.
Qin Miaomiao thought that she could see Yang Liu and Chen Fu here, but judging from the current situation, I am afraid it is impossible, people are crowded, people are crowded, if it weren't for Su Mu holding her hand, they would have been scattered by this crowded flow of people.
Before she reached the gate of the temple, it was already difficult to move an inch, Qin Miaomiao didn't need to move around at all when she stood in place, and the flow of people would hug her forward.
"How can there be so many people here, I wouldn't have come to join in the fun if I knew it." Qin Miaomiao didn't expect that there would be so many people, she thought that it would be the same as a modern temple fair, there would be delicious food, fun, and a lot of small stalls, but she didn't expect that there would be nothing, there were people everywhere.
Su Mu protected Qin Miaomiao in front of him, reducing the touch of others, and lowered his head to face the top of Qin Miaomiao's hairy head: "It's also my first time here, and I heard that there will be so many people from the first to the fifth day of junior high school." ”
Qin Miaomiao turned her head and said that her warm breath swept over the skin on Su Mu's neck: "Then shall we go inside?" Why don't we go back? ”
So many people, even if they enter the temple, they can only be crowded by people, and it is estimated that there will be a long queue to pray for incense, and Qin Miaomiao lost interest when he thought of this.
"Whatever you want, if you don't want to go, we'll go back." Su Mu has never liked to be lively.
It was easier to walk back than to go in, standing outside the crowd, Qin Miaomiao straightened her clothes and asked casually, "Where is Gejun?" Why didn't you see him?"
Standing on tiptoe and looking into the crowd, but there were still too many people, she couldn't tell where Ge Jun was, looking at it, she suddenly felt that someone was there, Su Mu was next to her, but that gaze came from a distance, and subconsciously looked over, just facing a pair of clear eyes, the person was dressed in an official uniform, standing elegantly outside the crowd, followed by several officials.
Qin Miaomiao was slightly stunned, then came back to her senses and nodded to the man with a smile.
Gently tugged at the corner of Su Mu's clothes, and whispered to Su Mu: "Su Langzhong, the county master Chen Yuanbo is over there, looking at us." ”
Su Mu also looked over, and also met Chen Yuanbo's gaze, and thought for a while: "Let's go and say hello to him, I've seen it." ”
"Why did the county master come back here? Do you pray for blessings? Qin Miaomiao smiled and spoke, speaking of Qin Ruhua, she also wanted to thank Chen Yuanbo, it must have been something he said to Daddy Qin, so he didn't continue to come to the house to make trouble, otherwise according to Daddy Qin's temper, he would not give up after suffering such a big loss.
"Today, people are afraid of chaos, so take a few men down here to have a look." Although Chen Yuanbo smiled, his voice seemed detached.
"The county lord loves the people like a son, it's really hard." Su Mu also had an official smile on his face.
"It's over, have you prayed for blessings?"
"No, there are too many people, and we don't plan to go in." Qin Miaomiao replied truthfully, according to this flow of people, I am afraid that the queue for incense will have to wait until the afternoon.
"I'm going to pour incense for my wife later, do you want to go with me?" It is easy to follow Chen Yuanbo in.
"Why doesn't Madame come and offer incense herself?" As soon as Qin Miaomiao asked, she felt that someone had pinched her waist, and she looked at Su Mu unexpectedly, and asked with her eyes, "Why are you pinching me?" ”
Chen Yuanbo pulled the corners of his mouth far-fetchedly: "My wife has passed away, and I am here to incense her." ”
Qin Miaomiao only heard Chen Yuanbo's words clearly this time, embarrassed and surprised at the same time, his wife had a relationship with herself, but why did she pass away after only half a year?
After listening to Chen Yuanbo's words, Qin Miaomiao immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't know the news of your wife's death and offended you." ”
At the mention of his wife, Chen Yuanbo's eyes could not hide his sadness: "That time you saved me in the mountains, because I went to round the grave of my wife alone, but I met a mountain bandit and almost lost my life, thanks to Miss Qin, you rescued me." ”
Qin Miaomiao suddenly realized, no wonder he felt that Chen Yuanbo looked depressed and worried at that time, he only thought that it was the reason for his injuries, but now he knew that he was not depressed because of the death of his wife at that time.
The death of a loved one is always a sensitive topic, even if Qin Miaomiao is curious, it is inconvenient to ask more, "The county master doesn't have to always remember this matter, let alone thank him every time they meet." ”
While a few people were chatting, suddenly a group of people passed by them, these dozen people were very tall and strong, and what caught the eye was their appearance, thick hair, thick beards, they were the same as Ge Jun with deep eye sockets, high nose bridge, obviously the same person as Ge Jun.
This group of people had a serious face, looking around, they should be looking for someone, looking at their appearance, Qin Miaomiao had a guess in her heart, whether they would be looking for Ge Jun, but in an instant, they denied their conjecture, this group of people were all dressed extraordinarily, they were all dressed in brocade rust shirts, the workmanship was fine and complicated, either rich or expensive, but Ge Jun was as ragged as a beggar, even if they were looking for someone, they must not be Ge Jun.
Chen Yuanbo looked at Qin Miaomiao's gaze and followed this group of people, thinking that she was curious for the first time, so he explained: "This group of people is a caravan in the Western Regions, passing by here, but I don't know why they have been staying here, I sent someone to investigate, they seem to be looking for someone." However, there is no most disciplinary matter, so it is inconvenient for the official family to interfere. ”
Qin Miaomiao nodded, looked up at Su Mu without asking any more, and turned around to say goodbye to Chen Yuanbo: "County master, you are busy, let's go back." ”
Su Mu waved his hand goodbye, accompanied Qin Miaomiao to leave, looking at the back of Su Mu and Qin Miaomiao leaving, Chen Yuanbo's eyes crossed a trace of envy.
The two went down the mountain against the flow of people, but they never saw Ge Jun, Qin Miaomiao told Su Mu her conjecture as she walked: "Su Langzhong, do you think that group of people are looking for Ge Jun, they look very similar." It should be a person. ”
"The people in the Western Regions are like this, they are not like Great Xia is only ruled by the imperial court, their regime is very chaotic, there is constant friction between the leaders of various departments, and there are years of war, so the vast majority of merchants have come to Great Xia to do business and seek stability in order to escape the war, and they have a lot of people in Great Xia."
"Su Langzhong, you know so much!" At this moment, Qin Miaomiao's eyes were full of reverence, and her gaze looking at Su Mu was also shining.
"I guess Gejun has entered the temple, shall we wait for them?"
"Forget it, let's go back first. He will go back himself, it's better not to go back. "Qin Miaomiao actually doesn't like Ge Jun very much, she thinks he is too oily and smooth, and he looks like a ruffian, he is already like this at a young age, and he is even more arrogant when he is older.
She likes a man like Su Mu, but she can't tell what kind of man Su Mu is, probably because she likes everything Su Mu likes. But I don't know what Su Mu likes?
The two went home, walked back and forth for dozens of miles, and were very tired, Qin Miaomiao made a second New Year's wish, that is, she wanted to buy a horse and a carriage.
Heated up a few leftovers from the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and Su Mujiang ate a bite, while eating the leftovers, he shouted bitterly, "Don't make the twelve dishes of next year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, some leftovers can't be eaten."
It was getting late, and there was still no trace of Ge Jun, Qin Miaomiao went to the mushroom house to look twice, until it was completely dark, and there was no one in sight.
"He's really gone, and they've lived together for half a month, and they don't say a word when they leave." Qin Miaomiao couldn't help but complain.
Su Mu didn't speak, his expression was thoughtful, but he didn't say anything to Qin Miaomiao.
On the third day of Gejun's disappearance, a group of people came to Su Mu's house, a group of people from the Western Regions to be exact.
Qin Miaomiao and Doubao were feeding the rabbits, and the gang rushed in directly, startling Doubao.
Doubao's temper has always been bad, baring his teeth and barking at them non-stop, if Qin Miaomiao hadn't stopped Doubao, he would have pounced out a long time ago, it was a dog who didn't know the height of the sky.
The person at the head didn't take the bean bag in his eyes at all, the dog he raised at home was bigger than the bean bag, more fierce than it, and could hunt coyotes, so he didn't bird the bean bag at all, and asked in a broken official dialect: "Where is Ge Jun?"
Qin Miaomiao glanced at the group of people who rushed in, obviously not good people, in order not to cause trouble, she simply pretended not to know Ge Jun, frowned, and said in a displeased tone: "I don't know the person you said." ”
The big guy at the head has a face full of meat, his beard is thicker than his hair, and his belly is round like a watermelon stuffed in it, measured according to modern size, Qin Miaomiao estimated that this person's height is estimated to be two meters away.
Su Mu heard the barking of the bean bag, came out of the house, and was inevitably stunned when he saw the behemoth in the yard, but he was fleeting and surprised, and the leader was startled when he saw him, and looked at Su Mu in disbelief with round glasses, and only spoke after a while: "Are you?"
Su Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression immediately became impatient, and his voice interrupted the big man's words coldly: "There is no one you are looking for here, let's go!" ”
The arrogant and arrogant arrogance of the big man disappeared for a long time, nodded again and again, beckoned to his subordinates, and hurriedly retreated.
They didn't stop until they were far away, and the men who came with them didn't know why, and asked, "Why are you afraid of that Great Xia man?"
The big man seemed to be still frightened, and looked in the direction of Su Mu's house with palpitations: "That person is not something we can provoke." Come on! ”
Qin Miaomiao was so shocked by this dramatic scene that she couldn't speak, just now Su Mu obviously didn't do anything, and the group of big guys were completely scared away? looked at Su Mu with a confused expression.
Su Mu sat on a chair and drank tea as if nothing had happened.
The thief looked around, trotted to Su Mu's side, poked Su Mu's arm with his finger, and asked in a low voice, "Su Langzhong, tell me quickly, what did you do before?" How can they know you and be so afraid of you?"
Su Mujian raised his eyebrows, glanced at Qin Miaomiao with his eyelids down, and asked in a weird way: "What did you do before?" Storyteller and compiler? There is no basis for what he said, and it all depends on making it up. ”
Qin Miaomiao was deflated and pouted: "Don't say it, why did you arrange me." ”
Ge Jun left, Qin Miaomiao thought that Su Mu would drive him back to the mushroom house, but Su Mu didn't mention it, he didn't mention Qin Miaomiao and didn't say it, he just scolded himself in his heart, "You, a woman who doesn't do what you say, didn't you say that you want to stay away from others?" ”
If you have a heart for a person, you will become greedy, Su Mu is right, I wanted to see her, I wanted to hug her when I saw her, I didn't want to let go of it in my arms, I wanted to keep it for a long time.
Qin Miaomiao slept until midnight, and suddenly smelled a trace of sweet aroma, which made people can't help but want to take a few more puffs greedily, but what followed was a dissipation of consciousness, and even she opened her eyes in a hurry, and she was already unconscious.
Su Mu had already noticed it the moment the incense floated in, but Qin Miaomiao was sleeping outside the house, and she must have smelled it earlier than him, this incense was too strong, and she had already fainted after walking to Qin Miaomiao's short couch in just a few steps.
Su Mu saw the figure projected outside the window, his face was immersed like water, but his violent gaze still revealed his anger at the moment, he avoided the world and didn't care about grudges, but they had to provoke themselves, and now they couldn't blame themselves.
With this hand, he can not only diagnose the pulse, but also lift the sword, save people, and take people's lives with a flick of his fingers.
Holding Qin Miaomiao and jumping onto the beam, she was firmly fixed with a sheet, and took off the jade sword hanging behind the beam.
When the outsider broke the door, he flew down the beam, fell to the ground, reversed his wrist, threw off the scabbard, and the blade was cold and cold, and the people who came to the house were terrified.
The group of people standing at the door was the group of merchants from the Western Regions who came during the day, although they covered their faces with veils, their identities could still be clearly distinguished from their clothes and figures.
The big man saw Su Mu holding his sword in the room, obviously unexpectedly, but now he couldn't hide, without saying a word, he clenched the scimitar with both hands and rushed over.
The corners of Su Mu's lips rose, full of disdain, although he hadn't moved his skills for a long time, but he still didn't pay attention to this group of people, the sword flowers flew over, and a set of moves were danced smoothly by him, even if the moves were ruthless, but still chic and handsome.
It was as if the wounds on this group of people were not wounds, but lotus flowers that bloomed under his sword, and the death of each life was a well-deserved death.
But after a cup of tea, there was no one standing in the room except him.
The thick smell of blood filled the room, and mottled blood stains were everywhere.
Only he was dressed in a plain robe, which was spotless, and even the sleeved robe was not messy. The blood stains on the blade were wiped away, and the sword was returned to its sheath.
took Qin Miaomiao off the beam and placed her outside the house, and when she came out of the house, she had an extra burden on her body.
lit the fire fold, threw it into the house, and when he walked out of the yard with Qin Miaomiao in his arms, it was already in flames.
The group probably didn't expect that the oil they brought would end up burning their own corpses.
Doubao saw Qin Miaomiao unconscious, and left while sitting on the edge of the bed and guarding her, it rushed down when it saw the fire under the mountain, and met Qin Miaomiao who was held in Su Mu's arms halfway, and followed back again, and then sat on the edge of the bed, no matter how Su Mu couldn't leave.
Su Mu's house had burned down in just an hour, and by dawn all that was left was a pile of ash with wisps of green smoke and the smell of burnt smoke in the air.
Qin Miaomiao was fed the antidote by Su Mu but didn't wake up for a long time, maybe she had taken too much of the drug, and Su Mu diagnosed her pulse and couldn't wake up for a while.
Su Mu has been staying by Qin Miaomiao's side, waiting for her to wake up, but at sunset, Qin Miaomiao still showed no signs of waking up.
The house down the hill had been burned to ashes, and no one cared about what the fire had taken away from last night.
On the tip of the moon, Su Mu sat beside the bed, his expression was cold, and his eyebrows were vaguely worried, Su Mu has always been conceited of his medical skills, could it be that this time he can't even solve a small drug?
Doubao heard the sound of Suo Suo outside the door, probed into the door, looked at Su Mu, and trotted all the way to the bed with his tail wagged, but there was a person behind it, it was Ge Jun who had disappeared for a few days.
Ge Jun, who came back from going out, looked gloomy, and there was unconcealable exhaustion between Yingting's eyebrows, and his eyes fell on Qin Miaomiao, who was lying down, with some guilt.
Doubao put his two front hooves on the head of the bed, stretched out his nose and sniffed at Qin Miaomiao's ear, and then looked at Su Mu, as if asking him when Qin Miaomiao would wake up.
Su Mu's gaze stayed on Qin Miaomiao's face, but he opened his mouth to Ge Jun, his tone was cold, with an unconcealable anger: "What are you doing when you come back?"
Ge Jun changed his previous ruffian, his expression was rarely serious, and his tone was filled with deep guilt: "I'm worried about you, come and take a look." ”
"Worried? Isn't it revenge? If you know your special status, why do you want to stay here and not leave?"
"I didn't think they would come this soon, and I didn't expect them to do anything to you." Gejun is just looking for a quiet place to live for a while, the best of the ordinary, away from those conspiracies and calculations.
His ears were poisoned by his nurse, even though he had long known that the family he grew up in was destined to be deceitful and would not be peaceful, but he was poisoned by his closest people, he still felt angry, but more tired and afraid, I don't know which day when he was asleep, he was pierced through the chest with a dagger by his closest person, so in the past few years he has been adrift in the name of healing, he has escaped countless times, and has been found countless times, but he doesn't want to compromise, and he doesn't want to go back, he is only a teenager, He was afraid that he would be forced to become a calculating and ruthless superior for a long time to come, and he didn't want to sit in that person's cold seat with blood on his hands, which would be a shackle for him, a nightmare that shocked him into a cold sweat.
"Are you overconfident, or are you too stupid? I don't care who you are, I don't want to know who you are, leave here, and don't come back. It's like you've never been here. Su Mu's tone was resolute and unquestionably refused.
Gejun stood in the middle of the room a little at a loss, he just wanted to live the simplest life, he wanted to settle here, farm the land for a lifetime, and run around for a mouthful of food for a lifetime, can't he?
"I'll wait for Miao Miao to wake up and leave." He wanted to say goodbye to his most ordinary, powerless friend.
"Let's go, it doesn't matter to you whether she wakes up or not." Su Mu blurted out a refusal.
When Gejun left, Doubao sent him out of the door, and Doubao watched him gradually walk away with a blank face, and ran back to the bed with a wagging tail.
Qin Miaomiao had a dream, accompanied by the sweet fragrance of flowers all the way, through a long cave, panting at the end of the cave, the darkness was gone, in front of her was the dazzling sun, but the darkness disappeared, and the fragrance of flowers was gone, she didn't know whether she had escaped or lost.
In a daze, Qin Miaomiao felt a little thirsty, her stomach was still a little hungry, her eyelids were a little heavy, and her mouth was a little bitter.
moved her fingers and was still very flexible, raised her hand to touch her face, two fingers opened her eyelids, in fact, the eyelids told her that she could sleep for a while, but the burning stomach fire urged her to sleep restlessly.
Su Mu looked at Qin Miaomiao's unique way of waking up from the side, and a stone in his heart fell to the ground: "Awake?" That's how you wake up every time?"
looked at Su Muxiao directly, and she was still a little dazed when she just woke up: "What are you looking at me?" The eyelids were too heavy to open, so I let my fingers help it. ”
Su Mu smiled: "Is there anything uncomfortable, such as the stomach?"
It's really amazing, Qin Miaomiao nodded hurriedly: "Do you have food, what time is it now?"
Qin Miaomiao sat up straight and looked around: "What are you carrying me here in the middle of the night?" She recognized her mushroom house.
"My house is on fire." Su Mu just said a few words, and he didn't want Qin Miaomiao to know the rest.
I opened my eyes wide in disbelief, I slept so badly, I didn't wake up when I caught fire, and I was moved so far that I didn't know: "You have no place to live?" Do you want me to take you in? ”
Su Mu wanted to deny it, but after thinking about it, it seemed that it would take at least ten days and a half to rebuild the house: "Well, I have to rebuild the house and live for ten and a half days for a while." ”
Qin Miaomiao lowered her head to tidy up her clothes, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, she could finally help him once. But then I remembered my New Year's resolution, and my heart moved: "It's okay, don't worry, you take it slowly." ”
Su Mu's house is small, Qin Miaomiao's mushroom house is even smaller, except for a bed, two steps to the door, Su Mu originally wanted to build a board shop to live, because the place is too small.
Su Mu cleaned up the ruins under the mountain, digging and burying some unknown things, such as unburned human bones and scimitars.
However, because of this, he was busy for a short day, and after dinner, Qin Miaomiao moved the tables and chairs out, vacated some places to lay on the floor, one trip in the bean bag, and one trip outside to run back and forth with Qin Miaomiao.
However, after cleaning up the position, Qin Miaomiao found that the quilt could not be divided, and there was no cover on the ground, and there was no cover on the body. If you can cover your clothes in summer, it's cold to cover the quilt in winter, isn't it fun to cover your clothes?
looked at Su Mu who was washing with some embarrassment: "Su Langzhong, I have a quilt here, why don't you be wronged first, and be a quilt with me tonight?" Tomorrow I'll go to the town and buy a futon. ”
Su Mu glanced at Qin Miaomiao defensively while wiping his face with a cloth towel, and seemed extremely reluctant.
Qin Miaomiao pursed her lips and said disdainfully: "You don't want to?" I won't touch you, don't think about it. ”
Qin Miaomiao's words made Su Mu feel a little embarrassed, and he immediately interrupted: "Sleep." ”
Go to sleep? A meaningful sentence, Qin Miaomiao snickered: "Do you sleep inside or outside?"
"Outside." Su Mu was lying on the edge of the bed, half of his body leaning out.
Qin Miaomiao ignored him, poured water and washed herself, peeking at Su Mu from time to time, Su Mu kept his eyes closed, breathing evenly, and fell asleep.
Qin Miaomiao patted Doubao's hairy head: "You can sleep too." ”
The oil lamp was blown out, and the room was dark.
Qin Miaomiao walked to the foot of the bed, climbed into the bed with both hands and feet, and also folded her clothes and lay down.
For a while, the room was quiet and only the sound of the two of them could be heard, Su Mu seemed to be really asleep, his breathing was light and shallow, and he was extremely calm.
On the contrary, Qin Miaomiao's heartbeat was speeding up little by little, regulating her breathing, not letting Su Mu find her nervousness, and trying to think of something else to distract herself, but in the end, she sadly found that no matter what she thought, she could finally connect with Su Mu.
When she thinks about what she wants to cook when she gets up tomorrow morning, she thinks of eating with Su Mu, and finally thinks that she is now sleeping in the same bed with Su Mu.
She thought about what medicinal herbs she wanted to plant in the wasteland in the spring, and she would think that her Chinese medicinal materials would be sold to the medicinal herb shop, and the shop was still taken by Su Mu, and when she thought of Su Mu, she would think that she was sleeping in the same bed with Su Mu now.
She felt hopeless, and the more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and in a moment her head was about to explode.
There was chaos on her side, but Su Mu's side was peaceful and peaceful, and it seemed that she had been asleep for a long time.
Qin Miaomiao propped up half of her body and quietly looked at Su Mu, listening to his shallow and even breathing, self-deprecating flat mouth, spreading out the quilt and gently covering Su Mu's body.
Turning his head to the other side in a boring way, he thought about it for a while, his consciousness gradually became confused, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Hearing Qin Miaomiao's slight snoring, Su Mu's eyes opened, his eyes were clear, and he had not fallen asleep.
The moonlight outside the window was cast into the house through the small window of the mushroom house, usually Su Mu only felt that the moonlight was cold, revealing endless cold, but today's moonlight seems to be extremely soft, and it makes people feel peaceful.
Hugging under the same quilt, he could clearly feel the warmth emanating from the people around him. Turning sideways and looking at Qin Miaomiao in her sleep, there was a moment of trance, this feeling was so good, relieved and satisfied.
Qin Miaomiao didn't sleep well, and always turned over and moved, the winter night was a little cold, instinctively leaned to Su Mu's side, and Qin Miaomiao's hand began to be restless, raising her hand to hug Su Mu's waist, in a daze, Qin Miaomiao was not completely ignorant, she felt the body next to her stiffened, she thought that Su Mu would throw her hand away, but after waiting for a long time, the warm body next to her never moved, let herself hold it.
With her eyes closed, she hooked the corners of her lips, increasing the strength of her arms, and getting a little closer, she admitted that she was a green tea this night.
He rubbed his head into Su Mu's chest, found the most comfortable position to nest in his arms, and fell asleep satisfied.
Nephrite was in his arms, Su Mu's heart gave birth to an inseparable attachment, down-to-earth and reassuring, he even had an impulse to wake up Qin Miaomiao and tell her everything he had, hoping that she would accept everything he had.
But who will not accept herself if she hears it, and if she hears it, she will be disgusted with herself? Won't you not get this moment of satisfaction? At this time, Su Mu was timid and selfish, he was deeply greedy for the beauty of this time, and he couldn't bear to give it up.
Qin Miaomiao was woken up by Doubao, and when she opened her eyes, Doubao sat at the foot of the bed and snorted.
Extremely dissatisfied, he kicked the bean bag, and suddenly remembered that Su Mu was so away, so he hurriedly got up and put a thin sheet of paper where he slept last night.
Qin Miaomiao picked up the tissue paper, and the big characters on it were 'Go to the town to buy a quilt'.
Buy a quilt and buy a quilt, as if you ran away early in the morning? He didn't treat him like this, he just hugged and slept for a while, thinking of this, Qin Miaomiao couldn't help but feel a little stunned in her heart, is it a righteous gentleman or really doesn't like herself?
Thinking of this, he raised his hand and touched his face, looked down at his figure again, tightened his clothes, and it was okay, he had grown two taels of flesh a little, not to mention that he was only sixteen, and there was still a lot of room for development, didn't he plan to develop it?
Or does he feel like he's not worthy of him? Qin Miaomiao suddenly remembered that An Zijin, the woman who came to him a while ago, was indeed inferior to her.
Early in the morning, Qin Miaomiao made a systematic self-assessment summary, and she set another New Year's goal, that is, to become excellent! When one day he can be as good as Su Mu, then he can tell him openly that he likes him, not like him now.
After breakfast, Qin Miaomiao took out the medical book that had not been turned over for a few days, and pondered what medicinal herbs to replant in the wasteland.
This year, she plans to open up another vegetable field, plant some vegetables and corn, although the japonica rice is delicious, but she can't grow rice, rice needs to be raised in advance, but also transplanted seedlings for irrigation, the amount of work is too large, she can't be busy alone.
Flipping through the pages of medical books, while making notes, I selected several medicinal materials that are easy to grow and do not have particularly strict requirements for the growth environment.
However, among these screened medicinal materials, she prefers a heavy building of medicinal materials, which can reduce swelling and relieve pain, cool the liver and calm shock, clear heat and detoxify. It is also widely used, such as convulsions, bruises, sore throat, carbuncle boils, poisonous snake bites, etc. It can be taken internally or externally. After thinking about it left and right, I decided to go to the town and see if there were any seeds for sale.
Qin Miaomiao was looking at it seriously, and the bean bag ran to the door with her tail dangling, thinking that Su Mu was coming back, but she didn't want Yang Liu to enter the courtyard with a basket.
Sitting beside Qin Miaomiao with a smile, she put the basket aside: "Miao Miao, what are you doing?"
"I'm reading a medical book, why are you free?" Qin Miaomiao pushed the medical book aside, and talked to Yang Liu familiarly, the two are not only love, but also friendship, friends should also be talked about in the right eye, whether a person can become a friend may be doomed at the beginning of the meeting.
"I'll send you some wrapped Lantern Festival, this thing is making trouble, my mother-in-law just wrapped it and sent you some, you can save some trouble." After speaking, I opened the basket, and inside was a white and chubby Lantern Festival, the size was well-proportioned, and half of the basket was filled.
"Thank you! After taking so much, do you have enough to eat at home? As soon as the bean bag heard that it was good, he trotted to Qin Miaomiao's side.
"Enough, there's a lot more at home." Yang Liu smiled and touched the bean bag's furry head, and glanced at the medical book on the side: "Miao Miao, are you reading?" Did Su Langzhong teach you to read?" Speaking of literacy, Yang Liu's eyes were full of envy, although there were many literate women in this era, they were all rich young ladies, and there were very few literate women like her.
Qin Miaomiao remembered that the original body must also be illiterate, so as not to show the horse's feet, so she nodded and admitted: "Su Langzhong will teach me some in his spare time." ”
At the mention of Su Mu, Yang Liu frowned again, and then seemed to remember something, and hurriedly spoke: "Don't mention it, I forgot, when I passed by the mountain, I saw that Su Langzhong's house was burned, what happened?" Isn't anyone else there?"
What the hell is going on, Qin Miaomiao is not very clear, she thinks that it was Su Mu's stove that caught fire and burned the house: "Su Lang built a stove in the middle house, and the fire burned the house." Others went to town. ”
Yang Liu actually doesn't like Su Mu very much, he always feels that he is arrogant and indifferent, and he has a cold face when he sees anyone, and he is not easy to get close to: "Where does he live when the house burns down?" I'm not going to live here, are I?"
Qin Miaomiao nodded a little embarrassed, but Yang Liu was still a little unhappy: "He's also embarrassed, didn't he divorce you and kick you out of the house?" Now I have nowhere to live and I come to rely on you?"
Her lips moved and she wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start with the relationship between her and Su Mu, and it took a long time for Zhiwu to speak: "Yang Liu, in fact, my relationship with Su Langzhong is not what you think, we have nothing, I was dared by my father to go out, and I have nowhere to go, begging him to take me in." ”
"Nothing?" Yang Liu picked out the key points, his eyes widened unexpectedly, and his voice was raised a few degrees: "He has given a dowry to your family, and you don't have a round house?" Didn't sleep together?"
"No, he saw me pitiful and took me in for a while, because I always felt that it was troublesome for him, so I built a house on the mountain and moved out, and I couldn't send him to rely on him."
After listening to Qin Miaomiao's explanation, although Yang Liu felt surprised, he also agreed, and nodded: "Then I still blame Su Langzhong, it's okay to move out, don't go back to your mother's house, by the way, your father is sick, and he hasn't been out of the house since he sold Qin Ruhua, and I heard that I can't get up from bed." But if you don't like to hear it, you deserve it! Poor and crazy, sell her daughter and sell her to a brothel! Although Yang Liu is also a daughter, her father and mother are very good to her, and she is spoiled on the tip of her heart, and now she is married and sends her some snacks and small money from time to time, for fear that she will be treated badly in her in-law's family, so she can't imagine what Father Qin did to his daughter.
Although Qin Miaomiao didn't sympathize with Qin's father, she still felt a little unhappy in her heart, thinking that Qin's mother was about to give birth, and the main force of the family was sick again, and there were six or seven children who were young, and the eldest was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the Qin family's life was afraid that it would be difficult to maintain.
Seeing Qin Miaomiao's distraction, Yang Liu guessed her thoughts: "Why don't I go to your mother's house tomorrow to see, do you have anything to bring over?" ”
Thinking about it, after all, it was the parents and sisters of the original body, and she couldn't ignore the friendship at all: "You go and take a look, and then tell Sanya to come to me." Don't let my parents know. ”
Father Qin and Mother Qin didn't dare to provoke, but she might be able to secretly help those younger sisters, it is common for children to be starved to death in this era, they are so young, it is really pitiful.
Yang Liu and Qin Miaomiao chatted a few more words, and Yang Liu told her to be careful in the mountains before she crossed the empty blue and left.
As soon as Yang Liu's front foot left, Su Mu's back foot entered the yard, the action was fast, the quilt and mattress were all bought, and the things were placed in the house, Qin Miaomiao followed Su Mu with a fart.
Su Mu sat down and she squatted aside, Su Mu got up and she followed behind, Su Mu was annoyed: "What are you doing?" ”
With a flattering smile: "Su Langzhong, did you sleep well last night?" ”
Seeing that Su Mu's body was obviously stiff, Qin Miaomiao smiled even sweeter, it turned out that he knew that he was sleeping with him in his arms last night, and looked at Su Mu with a teasing look: "I slept well last night, and it was very warm to cover the same quilt." ”
Hearing the mockery in Qin Miaomiao's words, Su Mu immediately calmed down: "A girl should pay attention to her words and deeds." ”
"I'm not a girl anymore, everyone knows that I'm married to you, and no one knows that I'm still a girl." Qin Miaomiao immediately retorted and looked at Su Mu with a smile.
"Frivolous, you and I are innocent, nothing happens, you can still marry farther when you grow up, then you can say that I am your brother, no one will look down on you."
"I don't want it, who wants you to be a brother!" After speaking, he took a few steps closer, looked at Su Mu with a small face, firmly grasped the placket on Su Mu's chest with both hands, his tone was solemn, and his eyes stared at Su Mu: "I have grown up, I know what I want, I don't need you to arrange it for me, and one day I will get what I want." ”
If you don't say that you are tired of me, I will have a chance one day, and you and I will eventually raise our eyebrows one day.
The two of them talked so closely, Su Mu was a little flustered, looking at Qin Miaomiao's raised face, and the persistence in her eyes, Su Mu's heart seemed to have been hit by something, if she knew everything, would she still treat herself like this, would she still swear that she was what she wanted?
No! Su Mu already had the answer in his heart, and his eyes dimmed instantly, he didn't know how long this hard-won peace could last, how could he drag Qin Miaomiao with him? It would be good for her to find someone who loves her to live a stable life, she can protect her for a day if she has the ability, and she will not be displaced when she is not capable, so it is very good.
"Go ahead, don't make a fuss." Su Mu's amazement and estimation were seen by Qin Miaomiao, but she didn't understand why he was like this, didn't his family agree? But he never mentioned his family.
Since he doesn't mention it, he doesn't want to force him to ask, people always have secrets that they don't want to be known, and if they like him, they should respect him better.
"Well, no more fuss." Qin Miaomiao let go of Su Mu's clothes, carefully smoothed the folds for him with her hands, and said while smoothing it out: "Su Langzhong, I have memorized a lot of medical books for a while, when can you teach me to ask for a diagnosis of the pulse?" ”
Su Mu did say that he wanted to teach her medical skills, but seeing that Qin Miaomiao was not interested, he kept putting it on hold, he thought that she was unwilling to learn, so he didn't force it, since she mentioned that she wanted to learn, of course he could teach her: "If you want to learn, you have to be serious, this medical skill must not be sloppy, and the slightest difference will be worthy of a life." ”
Qin Miaomiao nodded solemnly, her expression was extremely sincere and sincere: "Well, I will definitely do my best, treat it seriously and carefully, and there will be no sloppiness!" ”
"Okay, I'll rearrange a few medical books, these are all necessary to memorize for entry, all the content you need to memorize, these medical books are proficient, you can only take the first step in studying medicine." What Su Mu found for Qin Miaomiao was all that he had to memorize when he was a beginner in medical skills. There is no shortcut to learn this, it is necessary to endure hardships, but what you pay will eventually be rewarded, only if the foundation is solid, every step taken in the future will be steady and steady.
Xiucai studies medicine and catches chickens in a cage, the premise is that you have to be a showman, but Qin Miaomiao is not, she is just an ordinary college student who has traveled through the past in modern times.
So when she held the medical book, it was like a three-year-old child holding a book from the sky, Su Mu gave her a few medical books this time were different from the last time, and most of the last time she told her about the appearance of some medicinal materials, the medicinal effects, and even a lot of them were equipped with drawings, so it didn't look very difficult.
Qin Miaomiao couldn't even understand a word of these books, but she was determined to learn well, and she believed that diligence could make up for her clumsiness.
As long as she has free time, Qin Miaomiao uses all of it to read books and endorse them, and even puts aside medical books when cooking.
On this day, Qin Miaomiao was preparing lunch, and suddenly the bean bag rushed to the door, barking at the door with her tail hanging down, but she didn't run out, and sat at the door.
Qin Miaomiao looked for prestige, a teenage girl hid behind the fence yard, looking nervously, and when she met Qin Miaomiao's eyes, the light flashed in her eyes: "Sister, second sister!" ”
Qin Miaomiao and Sanya haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and when they grow their bodies, Sanya hasn't changed at all, they are still thin and yellow, like a dehydrated bean sprout.
"Bean bag, come back." Qin Miaomiao covered the pot, walked to the door, and beckoned to Sanya: "Come in." ”
Sanya saw that Qin Miaomiao was very intimate, trotted to Qin Miaomiao's side, climbed Qin Miaomiao's arm before speaking, and shouted with a smile: "Second sister, I have wanted to come to see you for a long time, but I am afraid that my brother-in-law will be unhappy, so I have not dared to come!" ”
Although she has not lived in Qin's house for a long time, it is only two months, but Qin Miaomiao still likes Sanya very much, her big personality is very similar to when she was young, a stunned tomboy, in fact, Qin Miaomiao's personality was only converged when she came here, and if she was still rampage like before, it would be a loss.
It's just that she was happier than her when she was a child, although her parents were busy with work and couldn't accompany her, but she never treated herself badly with food and clothing, unlike Sanya, who was difficult to eat a full meal.
"Didn't my father tell you that I had already moved out on my own?" Qin Miaomiao was curious, didn't Su Mu know about her before the village neighbors knew about it?
Sanya obviously didn't know that Qin Miaomiao had now become a taboo in the Qin family, and no one could mention it anymore: "I didn't hear my father and mother say it, and my mother didn't let us mention you." ”
It's better not to mention it: "How is the family now?" Is there still food? "In fact, Qin Miaomiao can think about it without asking, as soon as Qin's father is sick, the Qin family is afraid that it has already collapsed, Qin's mother is pregnant, even if she can work, it is much worse.
Sanya is thirteen, and he is sensible, and he immediately flattened his mouth when he mentioned the family, and tears rolled in his eyes: "Dad is sick and can't get up, I know how to scold people every day, my mother is about to give birth, I was scolded by my father and cried, there was no food at home for a long time, I and the fourth and fifth children went to the field every day to pick up dried vegetables and leaves and vegetable roots and went home to soak and boil vegetable paste to drink. ”
After listening to Sanya's words, Qin Miaomiao's eyes also became sour, although the bitter days of several younger sisters were not caused by themselves, but they also had an indirect relationship with themselves, if Father Qin was not sick, their lives might be a little better.
"Sanya, listen, you must not tell my father and mother about coming to me today, I will bring you some food and share it with my sisters, but I must also secretly, I can't tell my father and mother, and my sisters can't say it, if you say it, you won't have anything to eat in the future." It's not that Qin Miaomiao is ruthless, it's that she really doesn't dare to let Qin's father and Qin's mother know, if they know that they care about their younger sisters, they will definitely use these children to blackmail themselves, she knows that she won't die when the time comes.
Sanya nodded obediently, she will definitely not say it! She was about to vomit after drinking that vegetable paste, and she really didn't want to drink it anymore.
Qin Miaomiao asked Sanya to wait aside, took out a piece of meat at home, chopped it finely, mixed it with japonica rice, boiled a pot of thick meat porridge, and pasted a few potstickers of brown rice noodles on the side of this pot.
But in a quarter of an hour, the aroma of the porridge had already wafted out along the steam, and Sanya swallowed saliva while leaning to Qin Miaomiao's side, staring at the porridge pot with both eyes and couldn't move away, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Second sister, are you all for us to eat?"
Qin Miaomiao lifted the lid of the pot and stirred the porridge to prevent the pot from sticking, seeing Sanya's gluttonous appearance was really pitiful, she rubbed the top of her withered yellow head, and the tip of her nose was sour: "Sanya, you can eat it if you wait, it's all for you and your sister." ”
After the porridge was boiled, Qin Miaomiao first served a big bowl to Sanya, wanting her to eat enough before going back.
Hand the porridge to Sanya and carefully advised: "Blow it cold before eating, don't burn it." ”
Sanya took the bowl and put it in front of her nose and sniffed it deeply, squinting her eyes and savoring it for a long time before she spoke: "It's so fragrant!" Second sister, I won't eat it first, you help me pretend to be okay, the fourth and fifth are still waiting for me in the field, I will quickly take it back and eat with them. ”
Qin Miaomiao's eyes were sour, Sanya sensibly made her feel distressed, turned around and touched a handful of tears, put the porridge in a wide-mouth jar, wrapped the potstickers with a clean tarpaulin and put them in the basket, and did not forget to instruct when leaving: "You come again tomorrow, remember that you must not let your father and mother know, and others can't say it, remember?" Be sure to tell your sisters when you go back! ”
Sanya nodded solemnly: "Second sister, don't worry, I won't say it, I won't tell my sisters!" ”
After sending Sanya away, Qin Miaomiao began to cook her and Su Mu's meals, when she lived alone, she basically saved trouble and came, but Su Mu had high requirements for food, so she had to put some effort into cooking every time.
Now is the time when there is a shortage of green and yellow, and there are many fewer ingredients for cooking, so every time he cooks, it is really a headache for Qin Miaomiao, while pondering what to add two more dishes, he can't help but complain, 'Why is this dead man so particular about having a meal?' What a family. ’
When the meal is ready, go and ask the bean bag to call the mountain to call Su Mu to eat, Su Mu is busy building a house these days and rarely stays on the mountain.
In the time to eat, Qin Miaomiao told Su Mu about Sanya's arrival today.
After hearing this, Su Mu looked up at her: "You will hurt Sanya." ”
In fact, Qin Miaomiao who Su Mu thought of also thought of it, but she couldn't do nothing, just watched those children of the Qin family starve to death one by one, there was no way that there really would be a day, and she would do her best to save Sanya.
It's just that Qin Miaomiao never thought that this day would come so soon!
Sanya would come to pick up food every day, and it lasted for more than half a month, and suddenly one day Sanya didn't come, Qin Miaomiao waited from noon to evening, and Sanya never appeared.
Vaguely Qin Miaomiao arrived and things were not good, Sanya must have something to do, so that Sanya had no chance to come out.
On the second day, Sanya still didn't come, Qin Miaomiao couldn't wait any longer, she went down the mountain with the bean bag, she wanted to go to Yang Liu, let her go to Qin's house, or go to the neighbor's second aunt's house to inquire about what happened to Qin's family.
But Qin Miaomiao had just left Hexi Village, and she ran into Father Qin, who was living on crutches.
Qin Miaomiao secretly said in her heart that the big thing was not good, and the matter of Sanya coming to the house to get food must have been known by Father Qin!
Father Qin didn't have the slightest surprise when he saw Qin Miaomiao, his triangular eyes were full of resentful hatred, and he couldn't wait to cramp Qin Miaomiao's bones.
The two had already seen each other, it was impossible to pretend not to see it, Qin Miaomiao hesitated for a while, but still greeted her, she had already guessed that Father Qin found out about Sanya's food, so she didn't plan to go around in circles and get straight to the point: "What about Sanya?" ”
Father Qin stood still on crutches, his eyes flashed with cunning gloom, and he said in a strange manner: "Sanya is at home, you came just in time, I was about to invite you?"
"Excuse me?" Qin Miaomiao's ominous premonition came to her heart, Father Qin must have a conspiracy.
Father Qin smiled sinisterly and treacherously: "Yes, I came to you to persuade Sanya." ”
Qin Miaomiao knew that she was deliberately hanging herself around the bend, and she was anxious and helpless: "What did you do to her?" Don't beat around the bush, say it! ”
Triangle eyes narrowed, seemed to be very satisfied with Qin Miaomiao's nervousness and urgency, her tone was not in a hurry, and she sighed melancholy: "Eh, I am also for her good, but Sanya is young and doesn't understand my hard work, and she is clamoring to see you, I was forced to have no choice, so I came to you." ”
"Say it quickly, if you don't say it, I'll go back!" Qin Miaomiao was angry and anxious.
"Don't go back, I told Sanya about a family matter, but she is as unwilling to marry as you are, and neither I nor your mother can persuade her, so I will listen to you when I come to persuade her." Qin Miaomiao felt that Father Qin at this time was like a toad, ugly and disgusting, which made people sick to their stomachs.
Hurriedly crossed Father Qin, and went directly to the Qin family, not wanting to say a word to him again.
Before entering the courtyard of the Qin family, he had already heard the cry of Sanya, and there were other people in the courtyard talking miscellaneously. Mess.
Qin Miaomiao trotted into the yard, today's Qin family is a little lively, not only Qin's mother is at home with a few younger sisters, but there is also a matchmaker leading a black bear-like man to stand in the yard, but everyone's face is not very good, only the matchmaker is still smiling.
That matchmaker Qin Miaomiao knew her, the one who said goodbye to Chen He, and when she saw Qin Miaomiao entering the hospital, she immediately smiled and said to the man who was like a black bear: "Look at it, this is your second aunt, how many signs she looks like, your little daughter-in-law can be as handsome as her when she grows up, and the girls of their Qin family are more beautiful than the other!" ”
The black bear spirit looked at Qin Miaomiao with greedy and explicit eyes, his eyes seemed to be nailed to Qin Miaomiao's body, and the two colored eyes stopped spinning on Qin Miaomiao's chest.
Qin Miaomiao only felt a burst of nausea, and the black bear spirit's gaze made her extremely disgusted and angry.
Facing the black bear spirit's scrutiny, Qin Miaomiao looked angry, she was angry that the father and mother of the Qin family, Sanya was only thirteen years old, and she was forced to marry, and she was such an obscene and obscene old man.
glared at the old man fiercely, walked past the matchmaker and the black bear spirit and walked to Sanya's side, Sanya was already crying, out of breath, and when she saw Qin Miaomiao coming, she threw herself into Qin Miaomiao's arms and hugged Qin Miaomiao's waist tightly: "Second sister, I won't marry, I won't marry this black bear blind man!" ”
The man immediately became anxious when he heard Qin Sanya's words, and his voice was like thunder when he spoke: "Stinky girl, who are you talking about?" Wait for you to marry into my family, and watch me clean you up like this! You are obedient to the fight. ”
The matchmaker smiled awkwardly on the side, pulled the black bear spirit's clothes, and motioned him to say a few words, which frightened Qin Sanya and annoyed the Qin family.
"Eh, what about you, don't be surprised, my uncle is straight, and he speaks straightly, don't be surprised." The black bear snorted coldly without caring about it: "If a woman is disobedient, she doesn't beat it, and the daughter-in-law who beats it out kneaded the noodles, I won't get used to anyone!" ”
Qin Miaomiao glanced at him coldly, and couldn't wait to take a stick and pull him out immediately! forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to the matchmaker standing aside: "Let's go, we don't agree to this family business, Sanya is still too young." Can't get married! ”
She felt that the Qin family's father and mother were really unconscionable and poor! If you can't raise it, don't give birth, isn't this trying to force Sanya to death?
Before others could speak, Father Qin came back limping back with a cane, standing at the door and shouting: "Bastard, I asked you to come to persuade Sanya, who let you make trouble here?" I have the final say on whether to marry or not, use you to make peace with the mud! ”
"That's it, that's it, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, your second daughter is not sensible." Of course, the matchmaker is looking forward to promoting this family affair, this black bear spirit is lazy and bad-tempered, and the nearby village can't find a daughter-in-law, seeing that he hasn't married in his thirties, his mother is so anxious that she goes crazy, saying that if anyone can tell his son about the family affair, the benefit fee will be given two taels of silver.
Two taels of silver is not a small amount, and others only have a few dollars of silver for a family business, so the matchmaker naturally wants to try her best to promote it.
"Are you poor and crazy? Sanya is only thirteen years old, she is still a child, how can she get married! "In any case, this family matter must not be agreed, she can't let Sanya jump into the fire pit.
"What's wrong with being thirteen years old, your mother is pregnant with your sister at the age of thirteen!" When it comes to Qin Ruhua, Father Qin's resentment towards Qin Miaomiao is even stronger.
"I don't care about others, anyway, this family Sanya can't agree, you go quickly, otherwise I'll blow you out with a stick!"
After listening to Qin Miaomiao's words, the matchmaker glanced at Father Qin in embarrassment.
"The Zhao family promised to give a gift of thirty taels of silver, but there was not a single grain of rice left in the family, and they all pointed to Sanya's gift money to live! You said that if you don't marry, you won't marry, will you support the whole family? ”
Listening to Daddy Qin's words, Qin Miaomiao's heart instantly cleared, it turned out that he was waiting for you here, no wonder he wanted to go to the house to find himself, in fact, he deliberately used Sanya's marriage to force himself to give him money, if he didn't marry Sanya, he wouldn't lose money, if she gave this gift money, Daddy Qin would be able to get silver and earn a daughter, for him this is a deal that only makes money and does not lose money.
Now that she knows Daddy Qin's purpose, this matter has become simpler, thirty taels of silver to sell Sanya for a future, Qin Miaomiao feels that she has not spent money in vain, but she will not let Daddy Qin's wishful thinking start, Sanya She has to take it away, otherwise this silver is spent, Daddy Qin is already mad, and he will definitely repeat the old trick When the time comes, this will be a bottomless pit.
Qin Miaomiao thought about it for a while, and said in a cold voice: "I'll give you forty taels, but Sanya will have to follow me in the future." ”
Qin Miaomiao's words blocked the matchmaker couldn't speak, thirty taels were still borrowed by Zhao Jiadong, and forty taels could never be taken out, and she lost all her confidence for a while.
The black bear spirit was also cowardly, thinking that he could raise his eyebrows by spending a lot of money to marry the daughter of the Qin family, but the Qin family sat on the ground and raised the price, and he really couldn't afford it.
looked at Qin Miaomiao viciously, and finally left angrily.
The matchmaker also felt that she couldn't get down the stairs, and complained with great dissatisfaction: "Daddy Qin, what are you doing, I won't care about your daughter's family affairs in the future." After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked away quickly.
Daddy Qin's triangular eyes flashed, and he was secretly proud in his heart, he didn't expect this girl to be really rich, she would give forty taels if she said she would give it, and it would be good to take it away, there was one less person at home to eat.
"Second girl, you have to talk about it, forty taels and one points can't be less, I won't agree to one point less!"
Qin Miaomiao had already seen Daddy Qin's face clearly, patted Sanya's back and comforted: "Don't worry, my sister won't let you marry that person, you pack your things, I'll pick you up, and you will follow me in the future." ”
Sanya cried hard just now, still sobbing, and nodded obediently: "Second sister, I will definitely listen to you in the future." Although she is young, she is also sensible, and she has nothing to be reluctant to be with such parents, and she doesn't want to stay in this family anymore.
Father Qin glanced at Qin Miaomiao: "If you give the money, people can take it away, otherwise Sanya won't want to step out of this door." ”
"Three days later, I'll bring the money, and then Sanya will have to go with me." She needed some time to raise money, and she couldn't come up with forty taels of silver for a while.
Qin Miaomiao was in a hurry to go back to raise money, and after a few words of comfort, Sanya left in a hurry.
When she returned home, she found all her savings, and counted them, seventeen taels, and twenty-three taels were missing.
Twenty taels of silver is not a small amount, it really takes some effort to get it together, Su Mu is embarrassed to speak again, he has not diagnosed people for a long time, and he has to build a house and add things, and there must not be much money left.
Yang Liu's little daughter-in-law, who has just married, will not save much money in her private house, and there is Chen Fu, she is embarrassed to borrow money.
Qin Miaomiao sat in the courtyard, thinking about it, she was still at a loss, where to raise money?
When she hesitated, her eyes stayed on the wasteland medicine field not far away, and now she was forced to have no choice, it seemed that she could only dig up the medicinal materials in the medicine field and sell them in advance.
Although it's a pity that they haven't fully grown up when they are dug up now, it is a matter of Sanya's life, and I can't take care of it so much.
As soon as she said it, Qin Miaomiao picked up the wooden shovel at home and ran to the medicine field.
Astragalus and Angelica dahurica were originally to be harvested at the end of this summer, but now the yield is definitely much less, but there is no other way now.
The ginseng has only taken root this year, and the root fruit has not yet taken shape, so she can only dig up all the astragalus and angelica.
Angelica angelica and ginseng are somewhat similar, both are single roots and fruits, so it is easier to dig, dig the ridge, you can see the rhizomes of Angelica dahurica, just dig deeper along its rhizome to pull them out.
Compared with He Baizhi, Astragalus membranaceus will be much more troublesome, Astragalus leaves and stems grow tall, the roots and fruits grow deep, and the hairs of the roots and fruits are particularly many, and the roots and fruits grow together, and the soil needs to be dug up a large piece, and it is necessary to dig deep, otherwise they will be pulled out, and the roots and fruits will be more difficult to dig when they are folded in the soil.
Qin Miaomiao was busy for two days to dig up the white and astragalus membranaceus, and there was no time to cut the sections to dry, so she could only take them to the river to clean them.
After all the things were straightened out, there were more than 200 catties, and Qin Miaomiao couldn't transport them to the city alone.
There is no way to go to Hexi Village to inquire about who has an ox cart to go to the town tomorrow.
God had mercy, the old man Li at the back of the village was willing to run with an ox cart, Qin Miaomiao promised to give her a penny of silver as a reward, and left the old man Li's house with a thousand thanks, Qin Miaomiao rushed home in a hurry.
The herbs that control the moisture are placed in a large cloth bag and placed at the door. Wait for Old Man Li's ox cart to come and pull it away early tomorrow morning and send it to the medicinal herb shop in the city.
Su Mu came back from the bottom of the mountain and was a little curious when he saw the cloth bag facing the door: "What is in this, why are there so many piles?"
Qin Miaomiao has been working secretly for the past two days, she doesn't want Su Mu to know that she dug up the medicinal materials in advance and sold them in order to raise money, she was afraid that Su Mu would not agree and lend herself money, she really didn't want to trouble Su Mu anymore.
But now that they are all ready, they are not afraid that he will know: "I have dug up all the medicinal materials in the wasteland, and I am going to sell them tomorrow?"
Su Mu was washing his hands, took the cloth towel handed over by Qin Miaomiao, wiped his hands and asked, "Are you in a hurry to use the money?" Why don't you tell me?" He guessed that Qin Miaomiao must have a difficulty and was in a hurry to use the money, otherwise she would not have dug up these herbs in advance, usually she is very precious to these herbs, and she must have been in a hurry to dig up these herbs to sell.
Qin Miaomiao's eyes were a little evasive, and she said very unnaturally: "There is nothing urgent, I want to change some more expensive herbs to plant this year, so I dug them all out." ”
Su Mu could see at a glance that Qin Miaomiao was lying to perfunctory herself, but she didn't want to say it, so she simply didn't ask: "It's okay if there's nothing to do, but if you have a problem, you must tell me, and I will help you." ”
Qin Miaomiao grinned and agreed: "Eh, I know, I will definitely tell you if there is something, if you don't help me, who will help me!" ”
As soon as it was dawn the next morning, Qin Miaomiao heard someone outside shouting to herself: "Girl, are you up?" ”
Doubao sat up excitedly, whimpered lowly, and rushed out the door.
Qin Miaomiao hurriedly got dressed and followed out, and Doubao was staring at the scalper at the door.
"Go, play." Driving the bean bags away, Qin Miaomiao and Old Man Li carried the bags of medicinal herbs to the ox cart, finished loading, walked back to the door, and whispered: "Su Langzhong, I'm going to the town, you can make some food for breakfast." ”
Su Mu just hummed in a low voice and didn't speak again.
Qin Miaomiao sat behind the ox cart and staggered, and when she set off from the entrance of the village, it was just dawn, and the whole world was half asleep and half awake.
Lao Li Tou sat on the wheel, humming a minor tune and shouting.
Qin Miaomiao was a little bored sitting in the back of the car, and she was more worried in her heart, she didn't know if these medicinal materials could be sold for twenty-three taels of silver, if she couldn't sell herself, where would she go to make money, did she really ask Su Mu to borrow it?
Suddenly, she was a little depressed, she felt that she was a troublemaker, and she had not cried in her grave, and went to cry in the mass grave. But Waiyi doesn't care about himself, what if Sanya is really married to that black bear spirit? And that person doesn't seem to be a good person, Sanya's little arms and calves were slapped by him, and it is estimated that half of his life is gone.
She can't watch Sanya marry such a person, in this era, a woman's hope for a lifetime is in her husband's family, if she marries that person, Sanya will be hopeless for the rest of her life.
Sanya is different from Qin Ruhua and Chen He for her, although the lives of the two of them were indirectly destroyed in their own hands, but they themselves are also responsible, Sanya is different, she is a complete victim, Daddy Qin uses her as a bargaining chip to blackmail himself, Sanya is so young that she has no chance to resist.
If Chen He hadn't slandered himself again and again and flattered Su Mu, he wouldn't have thought of marrying her off as soon as possible, thus ruining her life by mistake.
And Qin Ruhua, Qin Miaomiao only has sympathy, but she has no regrets, she is not the Holy Mother, if it is not Qin Ruhua who was sold to the brothel, then it was she who was pulled away by the carriage that night.
The coachman saw Qin Miaomiao in a trance, and wondered what else she was in her bag: "Girl, what are you pulling to the town?"
Qin Miaomiao's thoughts were pulled back to Qin Miaomiao's thoughts by Father Qin: "Medicinal herbs." Qin Miaomiao replied softly.
"Medicinal herbs? So many medicinal herbs?" Lao Li couldn't hide his surprise, there were a lot of medicinal herbs in the mountain, but it was the first time he had seen so many digs at one time.
Qin Miaomiao saw Old Man Li's question, and said with a smile: "I planted it in the mountains myself, not in the mountains. ”
"Species? Can I still grow my own herbs? Is it more profitable than a farmer? "Old man Li is full of interest, the grain farmers planted crops and paid the agricultural grain tax, the remaining grain is barely enough to make a living, the family is really short of East and West, so they carry dozens of catties of grain to the town to barter, in fact, there is no way to make money, the cash in hand every year is only a little bit, so it is even more difficult to save some money.
"You can plant it, but you can't plant it in the field, you have to plant it in the mountains, so that the herbs can grow well." Qin Miaomiao didn't answer whether he made money or not, and he always had reservations about the living.
"Eh, the little girl has a flexible head, the first time I've heard of planting medicinal herbs at such an old age, can I grow them?" Even if Qin Miaomiao didn't say it, Old Man Li also believed that this medicinal herb could make money, and after living for so many years, the experience was not something that a little girl could fool around at will.
Qin Miaomiao nodded: "If you can plant, go to the mountain to enclose a piece of land, clean up the weeds, and you can plant it, it's very simple." "Qin Miaomiao didn't lie to Old Man Li, in fact, you don't need to open up the wasteland, the shade of the trees in the mountains and the humus in the original belt are better, I didn't understand it at that time, and it took a lot of unjust effort.
If you plant Qin Miao seedlings again, you plan to plant them according to this method, which saves a lot of effort and can restore the growth environment of medicinal materials to the greatest extent.
Old man Li nodded while listening, very attentive: "I'll go home and discuss with my wife, and plant some more, so that I can save money for my son to ask for a daughter-in-law." ”
Qin Miaomiao was a little sad when she heard this, she not only had to take care of her son to eat and drink, but also praised them for a lifetime to marry a daughter-in-law, and it was difficult to raise a child.
There was a chat without a pair, and on the way, Old Man Li also took a few people who were in a hurry to earn a few pennies to make some money.
When the sun showed their full faces, they rushed to the town, and Qin Miaomiao didn't run around this time, and directly asked Lao Li Tou to drive the ox cart to Suwentang, that is, the medicinal herb shop of the forest medicine box.
