Chapter 21: Repeatedly despised
"You said you were going to carry me." Liu Man'er said softly.
Ye Yuan could only bow down, this stupid girl, everything else was stupid, but she remembered the things related to her own interests clearly.
"Come up." Ye Yuan put the bow in front of him.
"I'll help you carry the bow." Liu Man'er took the bow and arrow from Ye Yuan's neck and carried it to herself, and then climbed on his back with satisfaction.
His quilt was generous and warm, and Liu Man'er even smelled the smell of a long time, lying on his back, and two lines of tears couldn't help but flow down slowly.
"Women are really made of water." Ye Yuan shook his head, carried Liu Man'er on his back, and walked forward with the basket.
"Men are made of stone, you see your back is too hard, it burns me."
"Okay, I'll carry you, you still dislike me, then you go down and go by yourself."
"I don't." Liu Man'er just leaned on his back and refused to come down.
However, Ye Yuan's physical fitness is indeed good, and she walked about three miles with Liu Man'er on her back, still without breathing, but Liu Man'er also rested enough, and she also felt a little sorry for him, and she didn't want to tire him anymore, so she got up from his back.
"I can't see that you have a lot of strength." Liu Man'er praised.
"What is this, look at your head, it's only seventy or eighty pounds, when we were in the army in the past, we had to carry a hundred pounds of stones on our backs every time we ran."
Ye Yuan was not proud of this, and when he talked about his life in the army in the past, his face was slightly reminiscent.
"Do you still want to go to the army?" Liu Man'er asked.
If he wants to go, although she is reluctant, she will not stop it, after all, men, making achievements is a big thing.
Besides, between this village and the wilderness, there is indeed nothing to see, not to mention the poverty, at this moment walking on the road, at a glance, there are crazy weeds everywhere.
"I don't want to go, I'll stay at home with you and take care of the family." Ye Yuan said seriously.
When Liu Man'er heard him say this, she was silent, and after walking for half an hour, the two finally came to the county seat.
The streets of the county town are paved with bluestone slabs, compared to the town, it is much wider, walking on the streets, from time to time I see people beating horses, to carry the sedan chair, to drive the carriage, and some people to drive the old cow to step slowly from the bluestone slabs.
All of this is very new to Liu Man'er.
Only when I arrived here, I felt a strong antique style of paving, with blue brick and black tile shops on both sides, wooden plaques, and banners fluttering in the wind on the side of the store, everything looked so antique.
The cries of selling are endless, and as soon as I step on the street, a burst of fragrance comes to my face.
Liu Man'er couldn't help but secrete saliva in her mouth, it was almost afternoon, and she just ate a piece of sweet potato today.
At the age of fifteen or sixteen, when she was growing her body, she touched her empty stomach, she was really hungry.
However, she could only swallow this saliva alive, without it, the two of them came out, and they didn't bring any money.
Although she is sometimes willful, she doesn't want Ye Yuan to be embarrassed.
What she doesn't like to see the most is when a man bends his waist for five buckets of rice, and if she says that she is hungry, Ye Yuan will definitely feel very embarrassed.
"Hurry up, hurry up." Liu Man'er pulled the hem of Ye Yuan's clothes and said, "Let's find a place to sell snakes, don't stay here." ”
Ye Yuan was pulled forward by Liu Man'er, but at this time, Liu Man'er's stomach rang uncontrollably.
"Are you hungry?" Ye Yuan asked.
Liu Man'er blushed a little and nodded, "I'm a little hungry, but it's okay, we'll have money if we sell this snake, and we'll all come and eat all the things on the street when the time comes!" ”
"Then let's go to the pharmacy and ask." Ye Yuan said.
In fact, although he often passes through this county, he doesn't come often, and at this moment, he doesn't know where the door of this pharmacy opens.
Liu Man'er is flexible, and when she saw someone, she asked sweetly, and in ancient times, she didn't talk to strangers, and soon, some well-wishers told Liu Man'er the address of the pharmacy.
It should be the largest pharmacy in the county, when Liu Man'er and the two went in, there were already a lot of patients in the hall, and when they saw Liu Man'er and the two walking forward, the elementary school apprentice who ran the hall said to Liu Man'er in a very unkind tone, "If you want to see a doctor, please line up." ”
As he spoke, he glanced up and down at Liu Man'er and the two of them, as usual, he beaked their clothes, looked at them with disdain, and went to the two people who came in behind Liu Man'er.
"The child is really sick, please ask the old gentleman to show it." It was an old woman, and the person she was carrying was supposed to be her little grandson.
"We will first receive Jin Shiwen for medical treatment here." The tone of the apprentice was still not good.
"Shiwen, I didn't bring so much money today, let's take a look first, is it done?" The old woman pleaded.
"Don't have the money to see a doctor?" The junior sneered, but drove them out.
"These people are too philistine, aren't they?" Liu Man'er whispered to Ye Yuan.
She had always thought that the people here were simple, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"Our Daliang has been in war for many years before, and it has just subsided, and the people have not yet been educated, so it is normal to behave like this."
Ye Yuan saw it very openly, and Liu Man'er found that although he was an ordinary farmer, he really seemed to know a lot.
"You know a lot." She voiced the doubts in her mind.
"I've been a soldier outside for a few years, and I'll know if I see more." Ye Yuan smiled slightly.
Maybe, his horizons have broadened, and his knowledge is naturally different, and Liu Man'er doesn't know what he has experienced in the army in the past, but she just thinks that this man is enough to be her dependence.
"And do we want to sell our snakes to this shop?" Liu Man'er was inexplicably a little bold, probably because the attitude of the people here was very bad.
She thought it was a joke that she had begun to imagine that a snake could sell for a hundred taels of silver.
But if it weren't for Ye Yuan's quick hand this morning, the snake would have really bitten them.
I remembered the words of the shopkeeper in the town, these days, human life is not worth anything!
"Let's try it first." Ye Yuan's face was calm, he stepped forward and said to the junior apprentice, "We are here to have a good medicinal herb, and we want to sell it to your pharmacy, where is your shopkeeper?" ”
After hearing Ye Yuan's words, this junior apprentice looked at the back basket in Ye Yuan's hand again, and his voice instantly became louder, and his tone was reprimanded with superiority: "Didn't I tell you, you have to go to the backyard to sell medicinal herbs, go to the back door, what do you want to do at the front gate?" ”
Liu Man'er couldn't stand this kind of reprimand in the first place, who are they, they haven't spoken yet, and they are not his slaves.
"It's just a junior apprentice, so arrogant, who do you think you are, we still have to sell it to you? Your shop is open, I can come in if I want to, what's wrong with you? Liu Man'er hurriedly retorted.
It doesn't matter if she is scolded like this, but Ye Yuan next to her is a dignified seven-foot man, how can she be so despised!
"Forget it, Ye Yuan, we won't sell it!" A little angry, Liu Man'er pulled Ye Yuan and ran out of the store.
Someone noticed the movement here, and the elementary school snorted arrogantly, and Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan ran out, but it looked a little like they were running away.
"Alas, people rely on clothes, Buddha relies on gold, this time it is really a mistake!" Liu Man'er sighed, and pretended to be relaxed, because they were wearing the clothes they were wearing to work on the mountain, and they were originally patches and patches, and this one was even more tattered.
"When we come out in the future, we must dress beautifully, tie our hair neatly, clean up neatly, and be looked down upon by these people again." Liu Man'er snorted angrily.
"Alright." Ye Yuan said softly: "We don't have any suitable clothes in our family. ”
Liu Man'er's momentum suddenly froze, not to mention silk and satin, just ordinary cloth clothes, she didn't even have a clean, new, or unpatched one.
"It's okay, let's earn the money slowly, as long as we sell this snake, we will have money." Liu Man'er was not depressed.
She didn't believe it, she came from another world, although she didn't have any good skills, but she had a wider knowledge than others, didn't she? Moreover, her ears are sensitive, and she can faintly understand the minds of beasts, and this alone is very promising.
It's just that it all takes time, and nothing can be done overnight, but she believes that with her hard-working hands, she can make this family rich.
Oh, by the way, she still has a lot of strength, and in this life, she can be regarded as capable of literature and martial arts. Ha ha.
After comforting herself, Liu Man'er put away her frustration, and a bright smile appeared on her face again, "Let's go, let's go to the next one, I don't believe it, I can't sell this snake yet, it's really not good, I'll go to set up a stall, although it takes a long time, but I can always sell it." ”
While talking, the two walked to another pharmacy, but the people in this pharmacy seemed to be similar to the previous pharmacy, and the tone of treatment of patients was not very good, of course, it all depended on people.
So Liu Man'er lost this courage for a while and didn't dare to try again.
"Why don't we go and set up a stall?" Liu Man'er whispered.
was just ridiculed and scolded by the elementary school apprentice, and her heart was a little cloudy.
"Let's go and try it first, you wait at the door, I'll go in." Ye Yuan saw Liu Man'er's cowardice, so he asked Liu Man'er to wait at the door, Liu Man'er stood at the door for a while at first, but after thinking about it, she still followed up.
However, this time the result was not much better than before, the people here saw this big snake, and looked at the clothes of Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan, and they were only willing to pay fifty yuan!
It's really no business, it's worse than the guy in the town before.
Liu Man'er naturally didn't do it, and after leaving the door of this shop, she couldn't help but ask, "Ye Yuan, where did your previous estimate be based on the price?" ”
"As far as we are in the state city, I was stationed there for a while not long ago."
"Can that be the same?" Liu Man'er glanced at him and said, "It's impossible for me to run to Bingzhou City for this snake, Heavenly Spirit Spirit, Earth Spirit Spirit, I don't pray that it can be sold for two taels now, as long as it is sold for one tael of silver, I will thank God." ”
Ye Yuan had nothing to say.
"Let's go set up a stall." Liu Man'er said.
"What should I do?" Ye Yuan glanced at her and said, "Could it be that we put this whole snake out and put it on the ground?" What if it scares someone? Or maybe the snake ran away, or accidentally bit someone. ”
"Then we'll sell it in a basket." Liu Man'er said.
"So how are we going to sell it?" Ye Yuan said with a serious face, "Snake, snake, selling snake!" ”
He learned vividly, Liu Man'er couldn't help laughing, "What you said makes sense." ”
He looked up at Ye Yuan again and asked:
"But what then?"
Full of joy, it gradually cooled.
