Chapter 3 The 100-year-old ginseng was gnawed by rats

"Wow, it's delicious, brother, it's time to eat." Ji Feng drooled and shouted excitedly at Ji Xun, who was sitting at the door of the cave and mending his pants with the last trace of sunset.

Ji Xun's pants had been mended, carefully folded and ready to be put into the suitcase, the suitcase had been turned over a little messy by Shen Yuyu before, and he folded it again with a frown.

Shen Yuyu, who was sitting at the table and dividing porridge, couldn't help biting his lip when he saw it, this guy is so downtrodden that he lives in a cave and is still so particular, isn't he obsessive-compulsive?

Ji Xun also sat down after he was busy.

Crisp and delicious cold fungus and gruel, this meal is delicious.

Ji Xun was always indifferent, eating his share of porridge expressionlessly, and he didn't touch the fungus, as if he was afraid that Shen Yuyu would poison him and kill him.

"Brother, why don't you eat? The cold fungus made by my sister-in-law is delicious. Ji Feng squeaked and chewed on the fungus, staring at Ji Xun with a pair of big, bright eyes.

Ji Xun glanced at Ji Feng and said softly: "Ah Feng eats less cold things, so you don't have to eat a bad stomach." ”

Ji Feng sighed, but he couldn't help but continue to clip, at this time, Shen Yuyu looked at Ji Feng with a smile: "It's true that you can't eat too much cold food, if Ah Feng likes to eat it, sister-in-law will make it next time." ”

"Uh-huh." Shen Yuyu spoke, and Ji Feng put down his chopsticks and touched his little belly and burped contentedly.

After dinner, it was almost dark, and the lamp was reluctant to light it, so I washed hastily in the dim light and prepared to go to bed.

Ji Xun moved the wooden 'door' to block the entrance of the cave, so that the beast could not enter.

The little guy took off his coat and swung it into the small bed, "Brother, my bed is too small to sleep, you go and sleep with your sister-in-law." The little guy laughed badly, my brother and sister-in-law will have a baby when they sleep in the bed, and it won't be long before he has a playmate?

Ji Xun frowned in disgust when he heard this, this evil woman pretended to be this calculation for a day? It's disgusting to instigate a child to say such things and teach bad children!

Shen Yu glanced at the door-like figure, the light was too dim to see his face, but he could feel a faint murderous aura emanating from the darkness.

The original owner and Ji Xun did not have a round house, of course, this is not because the original owner is unwilling, but Ji Xun is unwilling to touch her at all.

There is such a thing in my mind, one day in the middle of the night, the original owner sneaked into Ji Xun's bed and was kicked out of bed by Ji Xun, and the back of his head was hit with a big bag.

The original owner was so angry, his temper became more and more violent, and he felt that a lame man and an ugly man dared to dislike her? As a result, she was even more resentful.

At this time, Ji Feng said such a thing, and it is estimated that Ji Xun must have thought that she supported it. Shen Yuyu scratched his head in embarrassment, feeling extremely embarrassed, "Ah Feng come here, you and your brother sleep in a big bed, and your sister-in-law sleeps in a small bed." ”

"This~~~"

"What is this? Grown-up things are still arranged by you little kid? Come here. ”

"Oh~~." The little one had to climb into the big bed.

The small bed Shen Yu slept just right, she held the futon and listened to Ji Feng's little guy's even breathing, but Ji Xun should not have fallen asleep quietly.

I don't know what to tell him to dispel his hostility towards him, forget it, they will have to reconcile sooner or later.

It seems that Ji Xun was also entrusted by the original owner's father Shen Hong to marry her, and he didn't look down on her at all.

And it is impossible for her to be tied up with a man who has no feelings, it is better to be hostile to her, and when the time comes, he will definitely agree to leave when he earns more money and gives him some more.

was also too tired, Shen Yuyu fell asleep thinking about it, and when he woke up again, it was already dawn.

When you wake up, you are scared, how do you live in a cave? I was confused for a long time before I remembered to cross over, and I was depressed for a while and sat up.

The person on the big bed next to him had already gotten up, the futon was neatly folded, the door at the entrance of the cave was halfway opened, and Ji Xun's voice came from outside.

"Stand upright, look ahead, head up, head up, like a thread hanging ......"

Shen Yuyu rubbed his eyes and got up, and came to the door of the cave with his shoes on his feet to take a look twice.

Ji Xun had been a soldier, and it was normal for him to like to practice kung fu, Shen Yuyu stood at the entrance of the cave for a while, yawning and going back to the house to wash.

After breakfast, Ji Xun explained that Ji Feng entered the mountain after a few words, and Shen Yuyu decided to go to the town and sell the century-old ginseng he dug up yesterday.

She put the ginseng into the basket and beckoned Ji Feng: "Let's go, go to the town with my sister-in-law." "Take a child and have a companion.

"To town? It's true? Ji Feng was holding a slingshot and was about to go to his friends to hunt birds, and after listening to Shen Yuyu's words, he hurriedly put away the slingshot, and took Shen Yuyu's hand and walked out of the cave happily.

To go to the town, you have to pass through the village, the village in the morning is shrouded in a layer of mist, the green mountains and green waters, the houses are idyllic, and it is hazy like a fairyland.

"Yu Yu, where are you going with your brother early in the morning?" When Mrs. Zhou passed by the door of Mrs. Zhou's house, she was sweeping the floor in the hall, and when she saw Shen Yuyu coming, she straightened up and looked at them.

Shen Yuyan didn't treat Ji Feng well, wouldn't he want to sell him?

"Didn't I pick some herbs yesterday? Take my brother to the town to sell. ”

Aunt Zhou didn't hear the first half of the sentence accurately, but she heard the second half of the sentence clearly, and took her younger brother to the town to sell? It's okay.

Hurriedly stopped Shen Yuyu: "Yu Yu, you wait, your Xingwang brother is also going to the town, let him give you a ride." After saying that, he shouted to the backyard: "Prosperity? Is your bullock cart set? Hurry up. ”

"Oh, here we are."

With the voice, a simple boy of seventeen or eighteen years old came out of the backyard with an ox cart.

Aunt Zhou confessed to Shen Xingwang: "Yu Yu is also going to the town with her younger brother, Yu Yu is young, what she sells, you can help you watch it." As he spoke, he winked at Shen Xingwang.

Shen Xingwang had also heard of the name of 'Shen Fool', and knew that his mother was worried that Shen Yuyu would sell his younger brother Ji Feng, so he responded with a smile, drove the ox cart to Shen Yuyu's side, and beckoned them to get on the car.

"Thank you, Brother Xingwang." After climbing into the ox cart, Shen Yuyu habitually thanked him.

"It's all my own family, thank you." Shen Xingwang scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, feeling that Shen Yuyu didn't seem to be as stupid as rumored.

The ox cart rang the bell and beat the center of the village, and when he passed by the door of the Shen family, he was stopped by the Shen family, "Go to the town, ah prosperous, can you take my family a ride in the past?" As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Yuyu with disdain, but Shen Yuquan didn't see it, and took out a red rope to teach Ji Feng to turn over the flower rope.

"Yes." Shen Xingwang stopped the ox cart and waited at the door.

Shen retracted his gaze and spoke to Shen Xingwang: "They are also going to the town with you?" ”

"Hmm." Shen Xingwang nodded.

"Prosperous, Auntie kindly reminds you that you take someone to the town, in case someone gets lost stupidly, Ji Cripple asks you if you want someone Can you afford to pay for it?"

Shen Xingwang said with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry, I will go with you whatever Yu Yu wants to sell or buy, and I will definitely bring them back." ”

Shen Yuyu couldn't help but look at Shen Xingwang when he heard these words, this young man's temperament is as kind and upright as his mother, this quality is rare, especially the original owner is not a good person, and his reputation in the village is very bad, and there are not many people who are willing to treat her like this.

Seeing Shen Xingwang answer like this, Shen had nothing to say, and shouted into the room: "Is the past okay?" Don't keep you waiting. ”

"Here we go."

With the voice, Shen Xi came out of the house in a flash, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw Shen Yuyu.

Shen is a fool who clearly can't swim, I don't know why I didn't drown yesterday, and I have to ride in the same ox cart with her today, which is really unlucky.

Shen Yuyu didn't look at her, as if he didn't know her, happily turned over the flower rope with Ji Feng, Shen Xi glanced at her, and got into the ox cart.

Shen Shi said a few words of advice uneasily, and the ox cart began to move.

Shen Xi tensed her nerves as soon as she got into the car, and she was ready to fight, she kicked Shen Yu into the lake yesterday, and today she had to prevent her from kicking the ox cart.

The strange thing is that Shen Yuyu is very quiet today, at the beginning she turned the rope with the oil bottle, and then the oil bottle was tired and fell asleep on her lap, she looked at the scenery in the distance and pondered silently, as if she had changed people.

Shen Xi wished that Shen Yuyu wouldn't find fault, and she didn't want to fight, wouldn't it be over if she was dressed up so glamorously today?

Shen Yuyu's attention was not on Shen Xi at all, and while looking at the scenery, he was thinking about how much the century-old mountain ginseng could be sold for.

Do you have five hundred taels of silver? There are no five hundred two hundred or two hundred taels, right? The money to buy a house must be enough, where to buy a house? Or do you want to divide the money with Ji Xun, and everyone will go their separate ways and go their separate ways?

Meizizi thought all the way to the ox cart and entered the town, and it was less than half an hour, and after entering the town, Shen Xi got off the car and left first.

Ji Feng woke up after a sleep, rubbing his confused eyes: "Sister-in-law, have you arrived in town?" ”

"Well, here we go." Shen Yuyu replied, and then said to Shen Xingwang, "Brother Xingwang, I'm going to the pharmacy in the town to sell medicinal herbs." ”

"Okay." Shen Xingwang responded, and drove the ox cart to the gate of Baohetang in the town, "You go, I'll wait here." ”

"Thank you, Brother Xingwang." Shen Yuyu got off the ox cart, grabbed the back basket, and told Ji Feng, "Ah Feng is waiting for his sister-in-law in the car, and his sister-in-law will come back in a while." ”

"Hmm." Ji Feng nodded obediently, and was still a little sleepy after sleeping all the way.

Shen Yuyu carried the basket on his back and entered the medicine hall.

The guy in the medicine hall was as big as Shen Yuyu, and he was quite kind, and he didn't despise her because of her shabby clothes, and stepped forward with a smile: "The girl takes the medicine?" ”

"No, I'm here to sell medicine." Xiao You put down the back basket as he spoke, and took out a few Tian Qi and Chonglou, "How much can these be sold for?" ”

The guy looked at it and directly gave a fair price, "This Tian Qi and Chonglou are good, and they can be sold for a total of twenty wen." ”

Shen Yuyu didn't have any concept of ancient currency, but he felt that this guy was an honest man and shouldn't deceive her.

"Okay, that's sold."

"Okay." The guy answered, put away the herbs and went to get the money.

Shen Yuyu took out the cloth bag of ginseng from the back basket and was about to open it, when he suddenly found that the cloth bag had been bitten by a rat with a big hole.

I go, what's the situation?

Shen Yuyu opened the cloth bag with a heart and lay on the grass! The hundred-year-old mountain ginseng was almost gnawed by rats.

There is nowhere to put the simple things in the cave, it is inconvenient to enter the space after wrapping the ginseng last night, so it is directly placed on the stool in the corner, I don't know which mouse has become a sperm, and her century-old ginseng is gnawed to a skin with a few whiskers, huh~~~ Damn mouse, can't kill it!

"Girl, this ginseng ...... Alas, what a pity. When the guy came over with the money, he saw this situation, and he also felt sorry for Shen Yuyu, "Look at this beard? If this is not gnawed by rats, it can be sold for at least three or four hundred taels. ”

Shen Yuyu is also heartache and liver pain, all her money is fed to the mice, is there anyone more unlucky than her?

"So, can you still sell this left?" Shen Yuyu looked at the guy pitifully.

"Girl, wait a minute, I'll go and ask the shopkeeper to come." The guy couldn't make a decision, and went to the back hall after speaking, and soon a short and fat middle-aged uncle came out of the back hall, staring at the mountain ginseng in Shen Yu's hand as he walked, sighing and shaking his head.

"Well, girl's luck...... Is it good or bad? This mountain ginseng should be more than 100 years old, but it is hard to find, but it was gnawed by rats...... It's really rare! ”

Shen Yuyu was rarely in the mood to quip, "Isn't it?" This hateful rat has gnawed on my hundred-year-old ginseng, and it is estimated that I will soar to immortality. ”

Seeing her so open-minded, the shopkeeper couldn't help but look at her deeply: "The rest of this, the girl wants to sell it?" ”

"Sell." Shen Yu shrugged, "You can't take it back and feed the mice." "The guy almost laughed.

The shopkeeper also smiled: "Then I'll make a price, and the girl will sell it to me if she can sell it, ten taels of silver." ”

A few hundred taels turned into ten taels, Shen Yuyan's mood at the moment was like winning 10 million lottery tickets and not receiving them, but the shopkeeper gave enough taels, just those two or three whiskers.

"It's sold, thank you shopkeeper."

"Okay." The shopkeeper actually didn't make any money, took these mustaches into medicine, told the guy to take the ginseng, and then personally handed over two heavy ingots of silver to Shen Yuyu, and kindly told her: "The girl takes it, remember not to expose the money." ”

"Hmm." Shen Yuyu took it with both hands and thanked the shopkeeper.

The mood is also quite excited, this is the first money she has earned in ancient times! A full ten taels of silver, two cold ingots! I still got it when she was penniless, think about it, God is not thin on her, she is not greedy!

was happily preparing to wrap silver with the piece of cloth that had been bitten by rats, and the shopkeeper saw that she didn't even have a burden and gave her another one, which made Shen Yuyu very moved.

"Uncle shopkeeper, your surname?" Shen Yuyan wrapped the silver and put it in the back basket, and respectfully asked the shopkeeper, if he wanted to use his medical skills in the future, he would definitely find this uncle to cooperate.

"Don't give your surname Bai, what about the girl?" The shopkeeper also thought this girl was interesting and asked casually.

Shen Yuyu hurriedly replied solemnly: "My surname is Shen, my name is Shen Yuyu, thank you Bai Shopkeeper." Then he waved his hand at the shopkeeper and walked out of the medicine hall with the basket on his back.

She climbed into the ox cart and said to Shen Xingwang: "Brother Xingwang, do you want to wait for more to delay your affairs?" Why don't you go and get busy with yours, and we'll meet at the town gate when we get back? ”

Shen Xingwang hurriedly shook his head resolutely: "How can this work?" I said that if you take care of you, then you must do it, what are you going to buy next? Brother Xingwang took you to buy it all, and then I will do my own business. ”

"Okay, then I'm going to buy some rice and vegetables, and I'm going to the ready-to-wear store to buy clothes, and I'm going to buy a hoe."

"Okay." Shen Xingwang didn't think it was strange, Ji Xun spent fifty taels of dowry when he married Shen Yuyu, which is a huge amount of money in the countryside, and it is normal to have some silver left on him to live.
