Chapter 15 and I went to the city again
Lizheng's family is a big family in the village, even if Xiao Lao Er doesn't lead the way, Lin Lu can find Lizheng's house by himself by following the smell of medicine.
She was about to knock on the door when she tapped her finger twice on the door, and the door creaked open.
"Xiao Ci's daughter-in-law?"
Li was about to go out, his hands were still holding the door frames on both sides, and he was stunned when he saw the clear-eyed woman in front of him.
"Uncle." Lin Lu doesn't like others to call herself "Xiao Ci's daughter-in-law", she has her own name, but the people here call women's homes under the name of men, men are inferior to women, and she has no choice.
"What are you?" Li Zheng's eyes swept over the two cubs who were also following behind, "Are the two children sick?" ”
"No, no, I just wanted to ask you when you were going to the city and give me a ride."
"Again?" Li Zheng's expression is the same as Xiao Ci, there are few men here who go to the city, let alone a daughter like Lin Lu.
Let their girls go to the city to hang around, they are also afraid that the flower world in the city will be blinded, and when the time comes, their girls will run away with others, or steal men.
"Ahem, Zhang Hang, who's coming outside?"
There was a sudden intermittent coughing sound in the house, the woman's voice sounded like breathlessness, Lin Lu listened outside, and felt the feeling of suffocation, as if he was about to lose his breath in the next second.
"My lady," Zhang Hang smiled, "you guys come in and sit down." ”
He quickly ran to the window of the house and said to the house: "Xiao Ci's daughter-in-law asked me when I was going to the city, don't come out, it's windy outside." ”
There is a small space in this room, and there are all kinds of herbs hanging in the sun, all the herbs are mixed together, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance, Lin Lu studied traditional Chinese medicine, so he can see several types of medicinal materials at a glance, but some he can't recognize.
"Uncle, what is this?"
She pointed to one of the sun-dried herbs, which were piled up together and couldn't see their original face.
"Bead Grass." Zhang Hang had already walked over from under the window and sat directly opposite Lin Lu: "Phlegm and cough, now in autumn, when the wind blows, children are prone to colds due to poor resistance, boil this thing into soup and drink, you can get rid of the cold, dissolve phlegm and relieve cough." ”
He turned his head and said to the small plant in the pot, "That one is after it was dried, you can't tell that this one is before it was dried." ”
Lin Lu looked in the direction he pointed, it was a small tender grass, with five-petaled flowers, with thin thorns on the edges, like shark teeth, in rows, if you pick it directly by hand, it is likely to be scratched by the thorns above, but this tender grass looks very soft, and it should not bleed.
She just felt that the grass looked a little familiar, but now she looked at the appearance of the potted plant, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
When she went to see Xiao Cidi today, didn't she climb over a mountain, although Xiao Ci's land is saline-alkali land, but there are many such grasses on that barren mountain!
"By the way, what are you going to do in the city?"
Lin Lu did not shy away from telling Zhang Hang what the Zhao family had done today and Xiao Ci's saline-alkali land directly, and then looked distressed: "Although Xiao Ci can hunt, how can I pay back the nine hundred and ninety-nine taels of silver?" These two children have grown so big, and they will celebrate the New Year in a few months, and then the children will not even have New Year's clothes, and the clothes are good to say, now I have one more mouth, and four people eat Xiao Ci alone, which is not a long-term solution, so I thought about going to the city to see, it is best to find a job, and if I can't find it, I can also see what can be sold, and I will see what I can do. ”
Zhang Xuan sighed, "Mrs. Wang did too much in that matter. ”
The matter of dividing the household, because he is the village of Lizheng and needs a witness, he is naturally the best candidate, he persuaded Xiao Ci at that time, but he was unmoved, the nine hundred and ninety-nine taels, for an ordinary person, may not be able to earn it in two lifetimes, but Xiao Ci's kid didn't know if he was really stupid, he responded directly, his eyes didn't blink, and he said that the husband did things like a word.
"It's not easy to do business in the city." Zhang Hang didn't plan to pour bitter water with Lin Lu, seeing that she really planned to do a business, he thought for a moment and said: "There are all kinds of tricks in this city, there is no shortage of anything, there are corresponding shops everywhere, the only one in the village who can stand in the city should be the kid who sold you chickens last time, I will go to the city tomorrow to bring you, and then you can let him take you to get acquainted with it." ”
When Lin Lu heard that he was still an old acquaintance, he immediately smiled: "Then thank you, uncle." ”
"Thanks, it's okay." Zhang Hang waved his hand, and there were suddenly bursts of coughs in the room, Lin Lu looked at Zhang Hang's constricted brows and unconcealed worry, and couldn't help asking, "Uncle, Auntie, what's wrong?" ”
If it was an ordinary wind chill, Zhang Xuanzi would not have frowned like he did now, and Lin Lu had always been curious about how the number above his head had disappeared so quickly.
"It's an old problem." As he spoke, Zhang Hang's eyebrows still crouched into a small mountain: "Your aunt's body has always been bad, she always coughs up blood, and she has night sweats, and she has found a lot of miracle doctors but can't do anything, and blame me for not being good at learning, and I can't do anything." ”
Lin Lu glanced into the window again, and saw a bent woman wiping the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
She nodded, her eyes rolled slightly, and she said with a smile: "If you don't mind, uncle, you can leave me to do it, I see that you have a lot of medicinal materials to sort out here, anyway, I have nothing to do in the house now, and these two children can also run." ”
"Harm, how can this be." Zhang Hang waved his hand embarrassedly.
Lin Lu squinted and smiled but didn't speak.
She just said it meaningfully, her legs are on her, and when the time comes, won't she just run over? Zhang Hang won't let people go, right?
Lin Lu packed up early the next morning before Zhang Hang arrived at the door.
The city is as lively as ever, although Lin Lu's last beast language was eye-catching, but in just a few days, there is only a light ink left in the hearts of the public.
Despite this, Fu Qing was extremely happy to see her.
"Here you go again." Fu Qing happily ran to Lin Lu.
"Okay, you two talk, I'll get busy first."
Looking at the back of Zhang Hang leaving, Fu Qing couldn't help but say: "Li Zheng is really a good person." ”
"Huh?"
"Li Zheng's daughter-in-law is seriously ill, Li Zheng can still take care of his daughter-in-law for ten years, that money is big, if it is an ordinary family, I am afraid that he would have given up a long time ago, every time he comes to the city, he is to buy medicine for her daughter-in-law, or sell medicinal materials to buy medicine."
