Chapter 88: The Deceased

Lu Zhong tilted his head and replied with a smile: "Auntie, my family is in Kyoto." ”

Hearing that he was from Kyoto, several of the women present suddenly came to their senses.

"Kyoto, that's a good place, how old is Brother Lu this year? What do mom and dad do? Can you get a wife at home? ”

Shen Xinyue's hand in concocting medicinal materials paused for a moment, and then continued to move as if nothing had happened.

Lu Zhong glanced at her, and replied patiently one by one: "There are two in twenty this year, and the family has a little land, and I have not married a wife yet." ”

"Eh, that's really good, I don't know if Brother Lu has any plans to start a family? My niece will be sixteen in a few months. ”

"My daughter is also handsome, and the needlewoman is also very popular, why don't I bring her over to show you later?"

Shen Xinyue stood up, took a handful of herbs and then returned to her seat, and said in a light tone: "Auntie, his leg injury is quite serious, I'm afraid it will leave sequelae." ”

"Sequelae?" An aunt hurriedly asked, "Girl, do you mean that he may become lame?" ”

Shen Xinyue nodded matter-of-factly: "There is this possibility." ”

This news was like a basin of cold water, and it immediately extinguished all the flames of enthusiasm of the women.

This man has to rely on his strength to support his family, what can a cripple do in the future?

"Auntie, I suddenly remembered that there was still work to be done at home, so I went back first."

"I also remembered that there were still chickens at home that I hadn't fed, so I'll come back another day."

The courtyard that was originally still lively, and after a while, only Mrs. Shen, Shen Xinyue and Lu Zhong were left.

"Milk, it's cold in the afternoon, I'll help him back to the house first."

Shen Xinyue patted the dregs on her hands and stood up and walked to Lu Chong's side.

"I'm tired."

Lu Zhong stood up with her hand, and his tall body immediately blocked most of the sunlight above his head.

Shen Xinyue laboriously helped him to sit down on the side of the kang, and was about to turn around and leave, when he was stopped by Lu Chong.

He leaned against the wall behind him and asked casually, "Why did you lie to them that I would become lame?" ”

Shen Xinyue turned around and looked puzzled: "I just said that there is this possibility, what they think, it's not for me to decide." ”

Lu Zhong sighed, raised his eyelids and looked at her: "I thought you had something to think of me." ”

Shen Xinyue smiled: "What do you think?" I'm just telling the truth, and besides, you're not a good fit with the girls in the village. ”

"I don't know when you'll learn to see marriage in addition to seeing a doctor?" Lu Zhong raised his eyebrows and continued: "Then who do you think I am suitable with?" ”

"No one is suitable. Your origin is unknown, the wounds on your body are all wounded by sharp weapons, and the old and the new alternate show that your identity is not simple, and we are just ordinary people. As the saying goes, different ways don't conspire with each other, let alone marriage. ”

Lu Chong was stunned for a moment, the temptation and banter on his face disappeared, and for a moment, the corners of his mouth were even a little tight.

There was silence between the two, no one looked at anyone, only a distance of more than a meter, and the atmosphere became a little stiff.

"Two more medicines, and your injuries should almost heal."

Shen Xinyue was the first to break the silence, with a faint smile on her face, although she didn't say anything to drive people away, but both of them understood the meaning inside.

Lu Chong tidied up his clothes and leaned back against the wall behind him, with a lazy expression on his face.

"Miss Shen is too worried, in fact, if it weren't for the arrow in vain, I think I would have left by now."

Shen Xinyue's smile was fixed at the corner of her mouth.

"I'm really sorry, if you want to make up for it, I can give you two more pills, free of charge."

She bites the word free very hard.

Oh, what a clever girl.

Leaving the room, Shen Xinyue finished sorting out all the herbs in the courtyard, and then went to the stove room to start making pills.

In addition to the prescriptions of the Chinese patent medicines in the space, there are also the drug formulas mentioned in the Hundred Herbs Sutra.

During this time, the pills in the pharmacy sold very well, and she made four or five more in one go.

With Shen March's help, the efficiency has improved a lot.

Before dinner, she made more than 200 pills.

Some parts are sealed with beeswax, and the other part needs to be dried in the shade until tomorrow and taken to the shop together.

"In March, I said hello to Aunt Seven early in the morning and asked her to help keep two pig's trotters, and you go and help my sister get them back."

Shen March answered and went out.

Shen Xinyue also began to prepare dinner.

Seeing that Mrs. Shen was not there, she took some rice from the space, mixed it with the brown rice in the rice bowl, and then took out some seasonings.

She made dry rice, vegetarian stir-fried greens, and soybean stewed pig's trotter soup for dinner.

In addition to the inconvenience of his legs and feet, Lu Zhong can already sit and eat with everyone.

As soon as the meal was served, he sniffed it vigorously and praised it very much: "It's so fragrant!" ”

Shen Xinyue put a bowl of soup in front of him: "Eat more, and make up for the form with form." ”

Lu Zhong didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in her words, and after taking a sip of soup, he raised his head and said to Mrs. Shen: "Grandma, it's amazing that you have taught your granddaughter so well by yourself." ”

No one has ever praised herself like this, Mrs. Shen ironed in her heart, and the smile on her face never came down.

"Where is the great, it's also the new moon, and a few of them are quite competitive. Fathers and mothers are early, and the child of Xinyue has been more sensible than the children next to him since he was a child. ”

"Really? Tell me how she is sensible, it's rare to find someone as special as her. ”

Lu Zhong looked in the direction of Shen Xinyue and saw her staring at him warningly, not only did he not restrain himself, but he grinned at her defiantly.

"Speaking of which, the one who suffers the most is the new moon."

Mrs. Shen fell into memories and said to herself.

“…… During the time when I was fleeing from the famine, if there was no new moon, I am afraid that our mothers would not have been able to hold on to today. ”

Lu Zhong listened, although he didn't say anything, but there was a little distress in his eyes when he looked at Shen Xinyue.

After eating, the family sat around under the lamp, each talking about interesting things that happened during the day.

Mrs. Shen still held the soles in her hands that seemed to never finish, but this time the shoe size was much larger than before, and it looked like a pair of men's shoes.

Shen Xinyue was picking herbs, and the dim light shone on her, as if coating her with a soft light.

Lu Zhong was a little stunned for a while.

Shen Xinyue suddenly turned her head sideways: "Is your wound still painful?" ”

Lu Zhong withdrew his gaze without a trace: "It's okay." ”

Shen Xinyue sighed: "I recently saw a medicine in a medical book, which can remove saprophytic muscles, and has a miraculous effect on wound healing. ”

Lu Zhong thought that she cared about herself, and a trace of emotion just rose in her heart, and she heard her say again: "It doesn't matter if there are a few more scars on a man's body, this medicine is hard to find, and I also spent a lot of money to buy this, forget it, don't waste it." ”

Don't waste it......

Lu Zhong felt that he must have taken the wrong medicine, and for a moment just now, he felt that she was gentle and kind.
