Chapter 43 The Innocent He Anxia
To Qiao Shan's surprise,
The tonic prepared by Zhao Xinchuan is not some precious medicinal materials, just some ordinary things.
One of the most expensive medicinal herbs,
It's just a twenty-year-old half-section wild ginseng root, and the whole tonic doesn't add up to more than an ocean.
In Zhao Xinchuan's words:
"It's just that I've been upset and overpracticed recently, which has led to a bit of a deficiency in qi and blood, and has caused some unhealed dark diseases. There is no need for a big tonic, just a pair of ordinary tonic can be boiled and conditioned. ”
Johnson will give ten ocean tuition,
The time for teaching Tai Chi was set, and it was still in the bamboo forest every morning. Qiao Shan struck while the iron was hot, and in order to get closer to Zhao Xinchuan, he invited him to go to the high-end restaurant in West Lake in the evening.
……
Maybe it's because of the depression in the recent period, Zhao Xinchuan doesn't seem to have the anger of a person who practices martial arts.
Elegant, easy-going and not strong,
At first glance, it looks like more of a student than a martial artist!
Qiao Shan sent Zhao Xinchuan to the door of the medical hall, smiled and hugged his fists:
"Brother Zhao, you must come to Cuiyun Tower at night!"
"Haha, good! Come by all means! ”
Qiao Shan knows how to do what he likes, Zhao Xinchuan also admires Qiao Shan, after such a while, the two have become acquainted with each other.
……
"Senior brother! I've finally found you! ”
A voice of surprise suddenly came from the side.
"Hey, this little brother ......"
Zhao Xinchuan was shocked at first, thinking that it was a disciple of the Peng family! When I looked back, I found that I didn't know him, it was a little Taoist priest wearing a tattered Taoist robe and covered in dirt.
He looked at Qiao Shan, is this little Taoist priest calling Brother Qiao?
"Are you...... He Anxia? ”
Qiao Shan looked up and down a few times at the dirty little Taoist priest, and after carefully distinguishing it, he recognized who it was.
"Oops! Where have you been, and how did you get this out? ”
The last time I met He Anxia, he had just come down the mountain, and although his robe was also tattered, at least it looked clean and tidy!
It's only been ten days,
How is this kid like a beggar fleeing!
……
Qiao Shan said goodbye to Zhao Xinchuan:
"Brother Zhao, I have something to do, let's talk about it in the evening."
After Zhao Xinchuan left,
Qiao Shan led He An down into the courtyard.
"What's wrong with you? Where's your cage? ”
As soon as He An entered the courtyard, he was shocked by the grandeur of the courtyard, looked around three hundred and sixty degrees, and finally locked his eyes on Qiao Shan's breakfast in the pot in the courtyard.
Swallowing his saliva, looking at the heat and fragrance coming out of the pot,
He Anxia said in a dry voice:
"Division...... Senior brother, do you have steamed buns here? ”
"Yes, I'll get it for you."
Qiao Shan took out his stewed breakfast from the pot, brought him steamed buns, took a bowl of porridge, and put it on the table.
"Don't worry, eat first, and then talk after eating."
As if it had been ten days ago, the two sat face to face at the dinner table again.
Only this time, the lotus leaf chicken turned into steamed millet porridge,
He Anxia looked,
It's also much more embarrassing than ten days ago!
……
He Anxia was very able to eat, and ate five or six steamed buns in one go.
There was no hunger in his stomach, and He Anxia excitedly talked about his experience in the past few days......
It turned out that after separating from Johnson,
He slept in the bridge cave for one night, and after surviving the day with Johnson's sponsorship the next day, he was soon lucky enough to find a livelihood by unloading people at the river docks.
He Anxia was very excited, because according to the introduction, the salary of this job is enough for him to live, and he can save enough money to eat lotus leaf chicken.
It's just that after He Anxia worked hard for a few days,
I found that not only did I not have enough to eat, but when I was leaving, the foreman didn't even pay my salary!
"Obviously, the introducer said it in advance! Do a day's work and pay for a day! I worked for three days, and not only did they not give me money, but they also didn't let me have enough to eat! ”
He Anxia was very aggrieved and said:
"I went to the theory that took the lead, and they said that my money was taken by the introducer. I also took out some kind of painting contract, saying that I would have to work for two months before I could leave......"
Qiao Shan only felt very strange when he heard it,
I call it a good guy in my heart!
I thought that capitalists were just rampant in modern times,
I didn't expect the capitalists in the Republic of China period to be even more lawless when they got up!
……
He Anxia was a little confused, but Qiao Shan understood it very clearly!
Eighty percent of the foremen saw that He Anxia was a little Taoist priest who did not understand the world, and he looked simple and honest, and he had the strength to do so, so he wanted to cheat a free coolie.
In this era, there is no labor protection law.
You signed and drew the charge, if there is no backstage, it is useless to find the police station!
Obviously, He Anxia is the kind of person who has no background......
However, they probably wouldn't have thought that He An would work hard. A few days ago, He An went down to the dock to make a big fuss, turned a group of guys who intercepted him on his back, and finally fled in a hurry.
……
"It turns out that you were the one who made a big fuss at the dock three days ago......"
Qiao Shan suddenly realized.
He heard about it, but he didn't expect He Anxia to do it.
He Anxia smiled and spared his head,
After drinking the third bowl of porridge in the bowl, he wiped his mouth and said:
"After I escaped, I wanted to go to my brother, but my luggage and address were left at the dock, and when I went back, I saw the police coming from the dock, so I didn't dare to go there. I remember that my brother's address was nearby, and after three days of searching here, I finally found you, senior brother! ”
After this encounter,
He Anxia knew how sinister the hearts of the people under the mountain were!
Compared with this, He Anxia felt that when he first came down the mountain, he invited him to eat lotus leaf chicken, and the senior brother who entwined him was a good person.
……
"In that case, you can stay with me."
Pointing to the medical hall outside the courtyard, Qiao Shan smiled faintly: "My medical hall has been short of people recently, if you don't come, I'm going to close it." In the future, you will be an apprentice here, and I will show you how to distinguish medicinal materials, and you will be responsible for catching medicines in the future. ”
"Okay!"
He Anxia's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said:
"In the past, in the mountains, Master and Brother often took me to collect medicines, and I also knew some medicinal herbs, and I also memorized medical books."
"That's even better......"
Qiao Shan didn't expect He Anxia to be able to distinguish medicinal materials.
He took He An down to the dispensing office, explained the work he had to do, and then took him to the opposite door and gave Cui Daorong's yard to He An to live in.
"This is my brother's yard, ten days ago at night, there was a fire in the yard, and my brother couldn't get out. The yard has been cleaned by me, and if you don't mind, stay here, lest the house be left uninhabited for a long time and completely deserted. ”
"Don't mind, don't mind!"
He An calculated in his heart, ten days ago, wasn't that the day he went down the mountain to meet his senior brother?
It turned out that after the separation that day, the younger brother of the senior brother had an accident......
He Anxia lowered his head and whispered:
"Senior brother's day condolences!"
……
"Alas......"
Qiao Shan sighed and waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.
turned around and took the lead in walking the yard, carrying He Anxia on his back, wiping his eyes with his sleeve, his body trembling.
I almost couldn't hold back my laughter......
