Chapter 34: The Bookstore Owner

A man's mouth, a deceitful ghost!

Jiang Ning has always believed in this eight-character mantra, but he stared at Xiao Sheng for a while, and saw that his eyes were clear and it really didn't look like he was lying.

That's it, the body is his, and it shouldn't be deceiving.

"If there is really something uncomfortable, you must say that it is not okay to avoid medical treatment." Jiang Ning told him very seriously.

Xiao Sheng looked helpless and looked at her with a smile: "Okay." ”

Although she believed him, she couldn't help but check his head again.

Xiao Sheng also let her touch her head.

Jiang Ning was relieved that there was no other lump except for the redness and swelling on the corner of his forehead.

It's just that when he thought that his head was no better than anywhere else, he hesitated again and again, took out the purple jade paste he had used last night in his sleeve, took out a little bit, and applied it directly on his forehead.

The cold touch made Xiao Sheng feel cold and refreshing.

"It's ......"

Jiang Ning didn't plan to hide it anymore and said directly: "Purple jade paste, this is what the Yunyou Taoist taught me to make, exclusive formula, special medicine, gently apply a layer, you will feel a burst of coolness, after two hours, the lump on your forehead will disappear some, well, in fact, your lump is not big, I want to wipe it again at night, and sleep tomorrow morning." ”

Is there such a miraculous medicine?

Xiao Sheng couldn't help but be stunned, but in his mind, he remembered the place where she smeared herself last night, and when she got up this morning, it was indeed a lot better, and there was only a large bruise left, but it was not as serious as yesterday.

It's just that this medicine is really as she said that the wandering Taoist taught her to make?

If this is true, what about water?

Where did it come from?

Xiao Sheng was puzzled, but one thing was for sure, the water was absolutely extraordinary, let alone the water from the well in the yard.

It can't be the water that Yunyoudao people gave them home again, right?

Xiao Sheng put this absurd idea behind him, and then looked at Jiang Ning, and saw that she didn't know when she sat down and began to drink porridge, and the drink was quite fragrant.

He unconsciously hooked the corners of his lips, but his fingers subconsciously rubbed the place around his waist, and a trace of indescribable complexity rose in his heart, but he didn't hate it.

Jiang Ning gulped down the porridge, but in his heart he was wondering whether he should go to the mountains again, get some of the inventory in the space and sell it a little, otherwise after the beginning of spring, Xiao Sheng would go to the town to study, and the family's land would have to be reclaimed, and there would definitely be no time to pick medicinal herbs at that time.

The most important thing is that with the silver, you can buy some other medicinal materials, and then make a pair of gold needles, which is conducive to treating Xiao Sheng's legs.

After all, he will go to the exam in a while, and it doesn't matter if the college assesses itself, but if he really takes the exam, he will be a little discriminated against in a wheelchair, right?

Now he looks at Xiao Sheng as if he is nothing, but when he pounced on him yesterday, his eyes were obviously nervous and ashamed.

Obviously, he was ashamed of his inconvenient legs.

Thinking a thousand times, a large bowl of porridge was also sacrificed to the Five Organs Temple, and when I looked up again, I accidentally saw his movements, and couldn't help asking, "Are you uncomfortable on your waist?" ”

Xiao Sheng's movements paused slightly, and he quickly withdrew his hand.

"Nope."

"Then you ......"

"It's just tickling."

I see!!!

Jiang Ning gave him a "I understand" expression, raised the empty bowl in his hand and said, "I'll go out and clean up, do you want to go to town later?" ”

"Nature."

Jiang Ning got an answer, took the bowl and went out.

Xiao Sheng looked at her back as she left, but his fingers were placed on his waist again and rubbed gently, as if he could feel the touch of being caressed by someone last night.

It's just that the action was inexplicable, and he put away his hand awkwardly and sighed: "Scratching yourself is tantamount to scratching your boots." ”

Jiang Ning touched him, and he touched himself, which was different.

Jiang Ning returned to the house, and when he saw that he had already sorted out his things, he walked over directly, and glanced at him with some surprise: "So many books? ”

Xiao Sheng patted the stack on the table absently: "For a whole winter, these books are nothing." ”

When he had finished speaking, he picked up another stack from the ground, which, judging by the handwriting, should have been the part he had copied.

"You're holding?" Jiang Ning asked softly.

"Well, I'll hold it myself."

"It's fine."

It also saves her from having to push the wheelchair and carry things at the same time.

Besides, books are no more important than anything else.

By the time the ox cart arrived in town, it was past midnight.

The two came to the bookstore non-stop.

As soon as I entered, I saw a middle-aged man sitting on a recliner, dressed in a brown cloth robe, with a dark jade tied around his waist, which didn't look very good, but it could be seen from the temperament exuded by this person that he should be a reader, and he is probably the owner of this bookstore.

Sure enough!

In the next second, the middle-aged man seemed to feel something, and as soon as he raised his head, he met the two of them, and then stood up with a smile and said hello: "Brother Xiao, you are here." ”

Xiao Sheng had a warm smile on his face, put the two stacks of books aside, and replied softly: "I just finished copying the books two days ago, and I happened to come to the town today to return them together, Brother Nian, it is convenient to review one or two, if it is okay......

The latter words don't need to be said, and those who understand understand themselves.

"Brother Xiao, look at what you said, there is nothing bad about the books you have copied in the past two years, you don't need to review them, I will give you money."

As he spoke, he carried two stacks of books to the back cabinet, and after a while, he grabbed a handful of silver nudes.

"Oh, Brother Xiao, look at the five taels of silver here, according to your habits, they are all broken silver, but I don't have a purse for you today."

After saying that, he scratched his head embarrassedly.

Xiao Sheng took it directly, and handed it to Jiang Ning behind him without counting.

Jiang Ning: "......"

"Give it to me?"

Xiao Sheng nodded.

Well, don't be in vain.

Jiang Ning took it directly and carefully put it into his pocket, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his delicate face.

As if he had just noticed her, the middle-aged man looked at him in surprise, and then his gaze fell on Xiao Sheng.

"Brother Xiao, this ...... Isn't it a sister-in-law? ”

Xiao Sheng nodded with a smile: "I just passed the door earlier, but I didn't sit at the table because the heavens were not beautiful, and I was free another day. ”

"Brother Xiao, this is wrong, it should be me who is the east, please invite you and your younger siblings to dinner." The middle-aged man replied with a smile, and then seemed to think of something, glanced at the hour and said, "It's in the corner now, and it's time for lunch soon, so it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and I invite you to go to Ruyi Building for a meal today." ”
