Chapter 7: Finding Langzhong
But there were quite a few people gathered.
The homeless people were ragged and dirty, and they looked at at least people who hadn't taken a shower for more than half a month.
His clothes were torn and dirty. The skin is even more shriveled and sallow, and everyone is skinny and skinny.
The eye sockets are sunken and the cheekbones are protruding, which is terrifying to look at.
Everyone sat cross-legged on dirty and tattered straw mats, their hands and feet numb, and their eyes glazed.
Call them, and they should not. It's like a bunch of lifeless puppets.
In the deserted village, there is only a middle-aged man in a green robe, busy everywhere with a pottery bowl.
In his hand was rice porridge that had been diluted many times, leaving only water.
But this idea of rice and water can't fill the stomachs of half a person, let alone these dozen people in a deserted village.
Chen An rushed to Lang Zhong in three or two cloths, and anxiously pointed out Chen Hua to Lang Zhong.
"Doctor, take a look at her. She hadn't said a word since last night with her eyes closed, and her head was hot. Can you see if you are infected with the wind chill? โ
Lang Zhong did not refuse Chen An's request for treatment.
He gently opened Chen Hua's eyelids, looked at Chen Hua's tongue again, and then said.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a normal wind chill. Two pieces of ginger root are fine. Just ......"
Speaking of this, Lang Zhong sighed.
"As you know, there is a famine this year. Not to mention the fields, even the things that can be eaten in the mountains and fields have been cleaned. โ
"This is the last piece of ginger in my medicine box. I used it for you, the next piece of ginger, I don't know when it will be available. โ
"And the price of medicine in nearby towns ...... Hey, don't mention it. โ
"We don't use your medicine for nothing."
Chen An and Chen Shi hurriedly said, "We will do coolies to repay the money for this medicine." โ
Hearing that Chen An and Chen Shi are only two and a half years old, they have to work hard to repay the money.
Lang Zhong wanted to wave his hand and refuse.
But before he could say the words of refusal, the half-old sitting on the straw mat next to Lang Zhong pointed at Lang Zhong's nose and scolded Lang Zhong angrily.
That voice could be heard from a distance of ten miles.
"What? What time is it now? Do you still pay people for treatment? Are you going to be angry with your wife and me? Old woman, I gave birth to you and raised you for so many years, you are such a white-eyed wolf, repay your mother and me? โ
This old woman is not strong, but her voice is loud.
In this group of homeless people, she is the most energetic, not like she has been hungry for more than ten days.
"If you want to cure the disease, you can, two hundred wen! If you get out of the money, you will be cured. If you can't afford to get out, find a pit as soon as possible and bury people! It saves some effort! โ
The matter of a piece of ginger is actually two hundred Wen? He also cursed and said that he wanted to bury Chen Hua in the soil?
Hey, Tan Qingqing's temper.
Immediately, Tan Qingqing rolled up his sleeves and scolded the old woman.
"You think our half-grown dolls are easy to bully, don't you? Don't say two hundred dollars, we don't have two dollars! You love to be cured! โ
"Chen An, Chen Shi, gone. Let's go to town. I still don't believe it, the price of medicine in the town can really break through the sky and sell to the sky! โ
Although Tan Qingqing quarreled with the old woman, the Lang Zhong named Tong Zi still fried Chen Hua with a bowl of medicinal soup to treat wind and cold.
Lang Zhong is a kind-hearted person.
But the old woman grabbed Tan Qingqing and didn't let go.
"This disease has been cured for you. Money has to be given! Two hundred texts, not a single penny! โ
Tan Qingqing is above board.
"I'm only thirty here, do you want to love it? Or you don't want money, I'll give you a few pounds of food. The extra part should be fed to the dog with kindness. โ
Don't blame Tan Qingqing for not having a good face for this old woman.
It's really this old woman who is too greedy.
The medicine in this town, no matter how much the price rises, will not cost so much money.
And as soon as the old woman heard that Tan Qingqing actually had food, her eyes immediately became shrewd.
She had just gone to town last night and asked about the price of food.
A pound of grain has risen to 27 Wen! It may not be possible to grab it yet.
Now that there is Tan Qingqing, a little girl who has never seen the world, she sent money for nothing, how could Mrs. Wu not accept it!
"Okay, then give food! I want five pounds of food! โ
Tong Zilang on the side, when he saw his own son-in-law, he opened his mouth to five catties.
Immediately anxious, "Mother! You can't be so unconscionable. What we are doing is hanging pots to save the world, how can we cheat the bitter lord's rice and flour money? โ
Grandma Sun told Tong Zi to go aside, "Little one with no conscience, die a little!" โ
After the old woman scolded her son, she stretched out her hand to Tan Qingqing again, "Five catties of grain, half a catty can't be missing!" Bring! โ
Tan Qingqing didn't know how outrageous the price of food in this town had risen.
I only feel that five catties of grain, according to the famine years, it is at most fifty or sixty wen. It's really not easy to look at this Tong Langzhong again, and I thought, if I give it, I will give it.
The right is to do good.
It's just that these five catties of grain are not light.
If there is no reason, Tan Qingqing will take out the wheat that has taken off the ears from the space, which will definitely arouse suspicion.
I thought about it.
Tan Qingqing pushed the three Chen siblings forward.
"Then keep them here. If I don't come back in half an hour, they'll be at your disposal. โ
The old woman's eyes grunted, and she also agreed to it.
That is, Chen An looked at Tan Qingqing's back when he left, which was a little complicated.
But Tan Qingqing actually didn't go far.
She had only walked a few hundred steps before she hid in the space, counting the supplies she had.
She now has eight pieces.
A spring mouth that can ripen grain indefinitely.
The space has been increased to 4 mยณ.
In addition to the copper plates looted from the horse bandits, the system issued 210 copper plates.
plus the robbery from the bandits, in total, she turned out to be a person with more than one or two silver.
In addition, there is an old hen that clucks and lays eggs all day long.
The old hen was a surprise.
Tan Qingqing calculated that this old hen can lay an egg every other hour. That's 12 eggs a day. That's 360 pieces a month.
It's worth a lot of money!
As for the wheat grown in the fieldโ
Because of the spring water that can be taken indefinitely, eight plots of land can be planted together, and more than three catties of wheat can be produced in 15 minutes.
An hour is 12 pounds.
Now her space is full of wheat, roughly counted, about forty or fifty catties, and it can't be placed.
After taking five catties of wheat, Tan Qingqing returned the same way.
"Didn't you ask for food? Here you go! โ
Viciously handed the wheat to the old woman, and after paying for the medicine. Tan Qingqing found a clean plot of land to cook for the three Chen siblings.
Mrs. Wu took the scale and weighed the grain, and saw that it was indeed enough, so she softened her expression towards Tan Qingqing.
It's not early, it's time for lunch.
For breakfast, she came to find the three Chen brothers and sisters because she was in a hurry, and she didn't eat a few bites. Now that I'm finally sitting down, I'm going to have a good meal.
Chen An and Chen Shi were responsible for lighting the fire, and Tan Qingqing was responsible for cooking porridge.
When the rice grown in the space is ripe, it is natural to grind the shell and eat a bowl of fragrant and greasy rice porridge.
But just eating rice porridge without adding some meat is not enough.
So Tan Qingqing beat two more eggs into it. I also put some greens.
As for the naan baked yesterday, it was also crushed into pieces by Tan Qingqing and thrown into rice porridge to cook together.
In just over half an hour, the rice porridge was cooked.
As soon as the fragrant rice porridge came out of the pot, Tan Qingqing beckoned Chen An and Chen Shi to come over and eat together.
