006 Seeing the truth in adversity
Li Ye couldn't resist Chen in the end, and at his mother's insistence, he had to agree to his mother's method and use the medicine money to buy meat.
Li Ye had already made up his mind in his heart, as long as his physical fitness was similar to that of a normal person, he could practice from the martial arts system to attack martial arts, and he had a certain ability to protect himself, he would immediately go to the Lianyun Mountain Range to collect the herbs that his mother needed.
Li Ye doesn't understand medicine either, he only knows that his mother is weak and sick all the year round, but he doesn't know what kind of illness his mother is.
Because of poverty, Chen did not go to the town to find a big doctor, and the medicine he is taking now is also prescribed by You Fang Langzhong in the village.
Li Ye knew that the Linshan Village where he was located was at the foot of the Lianyun Mountain Range, which stretched for more than 800 miles, with high mountains and mountains, and there were countless poisonous insects and beasts.
But because of this, I don't dare to say how many natural treasures there are in the Lianyun Mountain Range, but if you look for these things like ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, there must be them, as long as you have the ability, it is not difficult to make a fortune from this Lianyun Mountain Range, then at that time, Chen's illness, find a better doctor, and there is hope that it can be cured.
After that, Chen's whole body was invigorated, and the movements in her hands were faster than usual.
Li Ye helped his mother to quickly clean up the kitchen, fill the water tank with water, wash the clothes, and sew up the worn-out clothes.
Countless chores were finally completed when the sun was past noon.
Chen took Li Ye out, and she had to go to the tailor's shop in Fucheng every day to do needlework, which the Li family knew.
The Chen family is going to earn their own medicine money, and the Li family is also lazy, and they don't want to give Chen money for medicine, and they also know that if they don't let Chen earn it themselves, and then squeeze her, they may really make Chen sick and die, and then they will have one less servant to do.
So after Chen did everything, no one jumped out to oppose it when he went out.
Chen had all her money in the purse around her waist, but it was very small, adding up to only more than one penny and more silver.
Linshan Village is not far from Fucheng, and after walking more than two miles, Li Ye can see the tall city wall.
This was Li Ye's first time in Fucheng, and Chen thought he would be surprised by everything, but he didn't know that Li Ye didn't know how much he had seen in the big city in his previous life.
This Wuwei Mansion City, although it is considered good in this world, but also because it is located in the northwest border, it has to fight all year round, and the city wall is built very tall, which is the highest city wall except for the capital, but in Li Ye's eyes, these are nothing.
It was only early spring, and the rice was not yet ripe, and in summer and autumn, the Great Xia Dynasty in the north would go south to fight the grass valley, and that was the time when the war was at its highest.
Therefore, the inventory of the city gate of Fucheng is not strict now, and after the Chen family paid a penny, he easily entered the city.
In Fucheng, there is much more prosperity, and Li Ye saw this kind of ancient style and ancient shop selling for the first time, and it was also very interesting to see.
Chen did not go to the tailor shop where he worked first, but took Li Ye first and walked to the market in the south of the city.
It's past noon, and the morning rush hour is the vegetable market, and there are not many vendors and pedestrians on both sides of the street.
Chen walked directly to the butcher shop, the good meat was sold out in the morning, and the remaining meat at this time was not good, but the price was much cheaper than in the morning.
Chen compared several butcher shops, bargained, and finally bought two catties of pork belly at the cheapest price.
Two catties of meat cost thirty yuan, and more than one penny and silver in his hand, directly less than a quarter, but Chen bought it very resolutely and did not give up at all.
This meat must not be brought back to the Li family to be burned, and it is likely to be confiscated.
Chen had already thought of a countermeasure before she came, she had a good relationship with Wang Lan, the proprietress of the tailor shop, and when she was not married before, she and Wang Lan were close friends.
Chen's time to go out every day is uncertain, and the free time is limited, and he has to rush back to prepare dinner in the afternoon, how can an ordinary tailor shop want an employee like her, at that time, Wang Lan saw that she was not having a good time, and mainly invited her to come to the tailor shop, and how much she did every day was how much it was, according to the salary of the highest embroiderer.
Behind the tailor shop is Wang Lan's home, which naturally has a pot stove.
When Chen carried the meat, went to the tailor's shop, and asked Wang Lan to borrow a pot stove, Wang Lan naturally agreed immediately, but she still said with a surprised face: "The sun is out in the west today, sister, you are finally willing to buy meat, I told you a long time ago, you and Ye'er are so thin, you should make up for it, you can't say anything to make up for Ye'er, now is the time for Ye'er to grow her body, if she doesn't grow well, it's useless to keep more money." ”
Hearing this, Chen took a deep breath, "Sister Lan, I came this time to borrow money from you. ”
Wang Lan was stunned when she heard this, but immediately agreed, "What do you want to borrow or not, sister, how much do you want, but let me ask more, did something happen?"
Wang Lan understands Chen's character, Chen looks weak, in fact, she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she is very stubborn, she also secretly stuffed money to Chen, but Chen resolutely refused to ask for it, but today, Chen actually bought meat and took the initiative to borrow money, which must have happened.
A trace of hesitation flashed in Chen's eyes, she trusted Wang Lan very much, she saw the truth in adversity, and over the years, only Wang Lan wanted to help her.
But Master Li Ye's matter is too important to be leaked out, one less person knows about the risk, and if Wang Lan knows, it may not be a good thing for her.
After thinking about it, Chen decided to tell Wang Lan the excuse she had come up with.
Chen took Wang Lan to the backyard, and after making sure that there was no one around, she whispered to Wang Lan: "Ye'er can practice martial arts, you know, at that time, the imperial court sent personnel to check the martial arts talent, and did not carefully check Ye'er's, the more I thought about it, the more unwilling I became, my father's book left a basic Tu Na Gong, I let Ye'er practice casually when she was idle, but I didn't expect that Ye'er really practiced internal strength." ”
"Really, that's really good, if God blesses, I'll just say that sister, you are such a good person, you will never be so miserable, now there is finally hope, if you had known that Ye'er has a talent for martial arts, sister, you don't have to suffer for so many years," Wang Lan said with a happy face, she was really happy for Chen.
Grandpa Li Ye did leave a piece of Tu Na Gong Fa, a big road goods, he was unwilling back then, so he spent a lot of money and bought it from the market, but after practicing for several years, he didn't cultivate any internal strength, and he died of heart since then.
