Chapter 10, Breaking Home
Laugh at! Laugh at! Laugh at!
Fang Rui didn't stop, and repeatedly cut the back of his hand five or six times before a shallow wound appeared, sprinkled with 'hemostatic powder', and immediately stopped the bleeding, and after a while, a bloody scab formed.
The results are outstanding!
The efficacy of the medicine is good, coupled with his strength guarantee, the finished drug business is booming.
"I want a pack of 'hemostatic powder'."
"I want a packet of 'health pills'."
"I'll have two packs of 'hemostatic powder' and 'health medicine'!"
β¦β¦
Not only 'hemostatic powder', but also 'health medicine' has also sold a lot, but compared to 'hemostatic powder', the sales speed of 'health medicine' is slower.
The tall man who sold cheats was also there today, and he came to say hello to him, and after a little temptation, he gave up the idea of selling cheats to him.
ββIn the past half a month, Fang Rui has come to the black market to dress differently and be fat and thin, he has met this person three or five times, but this person obviously did not recognize him at this time.
This thin and tall man is a self-acquaintance, and he talks to Fang Rui with a dead face, obviously having the heart to make friends.
After chatting with him for a few words, Fang Rui learned that this person is called Gao Yao, and his nickname is 'Bao Inquire', which can be regarded as a nodding friend.
"Hey, do you want to know, who is that triangular eye?"
Gao Yao didn't wait for Fang Rui to answer, and said to himself: "That person's name is Zhou, and there is a second uncle who has entered the martial arts, and he is the elite gang member of the Dongcheng Wild Wolf Gang......"
This is to see that Fang Rui is not very young, he is a martial artist, and he deliberately sells a favor.
'Around, this name...... It's a scourge when you hear it! β
Fang Rui secretly wrote down the name: 'Well, interesting, is it also in Dongcheng? If I'm not mistaken, this Wolf Gang is still an old rival with the Tiger Gang. β
He didn't want to liquidate this person immediately, the hatred didn't come to that point, and this week was not something to be sent away at will.
However, it is certain that the book should be remembered.
Fang Rui is an immortal person, with endless longevity, and some are patient to play slowly with this person.
"Thank you." He spoke.
"No thanks, let's go, let's go and go looking for the fat sheep."
Gao Yao waved his hand and left.
It is true that he wants to make friends with Fang Rui, but he also understands the truth of going too far - this kind of person who is crawling around in society knows how to measure and can maintain a very comfortable distance.
β¦β¦
Before and after, in about a quarter of an hour, the finished medicine package prepared by Fang Rui was sold out.
Due to the good fortune of the opening and the verification of this financial road, he was in a good mood, in addition to 30 catties of sorghum noodles, he also bought some stick noodles and a catty of eggs today.
Maybe it's because of the exposure of the martial artists, after going out of the black market, they were not targeted.
As for the clamor around, there is no trace of it.
'There is no sense of trouble...... That's nice! β
Fang Rui sighed in his heart, and returned with a familiar car.
Halfway through, a light rain fell in the sky.
"It's raining, and the drought can ease a little. However, it doesn't seem to be big, and it's ...... Slow down! β
"I'm afraid this chaos in Changshan County will continue."
Stormy nights come back.
When Fang Rui returned home, Fang Xue's clan was still waiting in the hall.
"How?" As soon as Fang Rui entered the door, Fang Xue first looked around him, and after confirming that he was not injured, he hurriedly asked about the finished medicine.
"Very good, all the medicine bags prepared are sold out." Fang Rui said with a smile.
"My son is really capable!"
Fang Xue was happy to slap his palm.
People of her generation are most afraid of sitting on the mountain and having no stable source of income, and they panic just when they see the family's savings decreasing.
In the past few nights, she has often been unable to sleep for money, and now she ...... Finally solved.
"Mother, in addition to sorghum noodles, I also bought some stick noodles and eggs to supplement nutrition for you and your sister, and we will have boiled eggs for each of us tomorrow morning."
Fang Xue didn't know if he heard it or not, and happily gathered things there.
Maybe there are memories of hunger, hunger is afraid, people in this era have a special emotion for food, these materials, even if they are just placed there to watch, are also at ease.
In this difficult world, one of the few happy things for the Fang Xue clan was to collect the materials and look at the abundance of food in the granary, and he was happy.
Because: this means that it will not be difficult for a good wife to cook without rice, and she will not let her children and husband go hungry.
- It can also be regarded as: joy in suffering.
Fang Xue put his things away, counted the grain at home with his fingers, and after calculating, he said happily: "Brother Rui, the grain in the family is 1,000 catties smaller, and our family has never had so much food!" β
She babbled and said, "This day is getting better and better...... It is...... It is...... If only your dad had been there......"
"yes!" When Fang Rui heard this, he paused, and he also thought of the man who stepped forward to join the army in his place, and his heart was grateful.
"Alas!"
"Alas!"
Two long sighs.
"Mother, don't worry, Daddy people have their own nature...... It's not too early, go to bed early! Fang Rui saw that Fang Xue's mood was depressed, and he didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to say so.
Go back to the house.
On the bed in the inner room, Fang Ling was already asleep, and this girl, she didn't become horizontal in her sleep, which was worthy of praise.
Let's go!
Fang Rui kissed her on the cheek and fell asleep on the side.
Unknown insects outside the window are chirping, and the cool breeze blows away the hot heat of the summer evening, and time is like water, flowing slowly.
β¦β¦
The next morning.
The breakfast of the Fang family is: stick noodle porridge, stir-fried wild vegetables, and a boiled egg.
"Wow, stick noodle porridge!"
Fang Ling saw that it was not sorghum noodle porridge, and immediately cheered, and when he saw the boiled egg, his eyes were even more drooling, but he sensibly did not open his mouth.
She knew: this is her brother.
In the past, when Fang Baicao was in charge, he encountered delicious food at home, and the order was: Fang Baicao, Fang Rui, Fang Xue's, and Fang Ling.
It's not entirely patriarchal.
ββFang Baicao is in charge, and he has to do the most and heaviest work; Fang Rui is the only man in the family, sick seedlings, congenitally weak, and in need of food supplements; Fang Xue is an adult, and he also has to work; Fang Ling, this girl, can only be ranked last?
She's used to it.
Sure enough, I only heard Fang Xue's words: "This is for your brother, he has to work, and only when he is full can he have the strength to support our family...... In fact, our family's life is already very good, at least three meals a day can be guaranteed, and I see that most of the neighbors have stopped eating lunch in order to save food. β
"Mother, I know, I don't eat." Fang Ling buried his head, snoring and drinking porridge, his throat stirred, saliva swallowed with the porridge, and forcibly refused to look at the boiled egg.
"Mother!"
Fang Rui shook his head helplessly.
Last night, he clearly said that one person would have one boiled egg, and the whole family would supplement their nutrition, but now, he is still the only one who has it.
Fang Rui also understood Fang Xue's thoughts: eggs, such a precious thing, wanted him to eat as much as possible, and raise him, the Fang family's 'Optimus White Jade Pillar'.
From this point of view, Fang Xue's approach is actually correct.
At least, he couldn't complain about this kind of good intentions...... However, you can take the initiative to share this special treatment.
"Ling'er, I don't like to eat egg yolks, come." Fang Rui peeled the egg and gave the yolk to Fang Ling.
"Brother Rui,"
Fang Xue's face was flat, he should have been angry, but when he saw the scene of this brother and sister Gong, he couldn't get angry, so he had to shake his head and say helplessly: "You just spoil her!" β
"Mother, and yours, let's be one and a half." Fang Rui said with a smile.
"I don't like egg whites, you eat them yourself!"
Fang Xue hurriedly covered the bowl with his hand and avoided it.
But Fang Rui directly stuffed the egg white to her mouth: "Mother, eat, you just let me hold it like this?" β
Fang Xue was helpless: "Then I'll eat a small piece." β
After eating a small piece, she refused to eat it again.
Fang Rui had no choice but to take it back, eat it himself, and then, holding his big bowl, snoring and drinking porridge.
- Since he entered the product, his amount of food has increased greatly, and he has replaced it with a large bowl of herbs from before; After breaking through the eighth grade last night, this big bowl of porridge was a little reluctant.
Beside.
Fang Ling ate the egg yolk in small bites, cherishing it very much.
She watched her mother and brother fight back and forth, very strange, and didn't understand: why the egg yolk was so delicious, but her brother didn't like it; The egg whites are also delicious, why don't my mothers like to eat them.
It's weird.
Syllable!
Fang Xue looked at Fang Ling, who was 'heartless and lungless', and knocked her on the head with chopsticks angrily, and instructed: "Our family is not allowed to go out to talk about eating eggs......
"Oh."
Fang Ling nodded seriously.
In this regard, she is very trustworthy, obedient, tight-lipped and very obedient.
β¦β¦
Last night's rain drifted for a while, and it quickly stopped, and it didn't ease the drought as much as Fang Rui thought.
The chaos in Changshan County continues.
There has been no news of the officers and soldiers who suppressed the thieves; Despite the government's restrictions, prices in the city are still rising, especially the price of grain; The people in the county town are living more and more difficult under the double exploitation of the government and gangs......
But all of this was isolated from the 'Caozhi Hall'.
The life of the Fang family is still peaceful, compared to when Fang Baicao was there, the quality of life has not decreased much - in such a catastrophic time, it is not easy to maintain, compared to other neighbors, the Fang family is very satisfied.
Surreptitiously.
Fang Rui went to the black market to sell finished medicines, and he continued to go every other day - this frequency, which can not only save the market entry fee and booth fee, but also not let the accumulated medicine bags be sold out at one time, is the optimal solution he has tried to find.
Most of the money from the sale of medicine was exchanged for food by Fang Rui, and occasionally improved the food for the family.
The peaceful days passed slowly like this, and it was a small half moon in a flash.
On this day, it was time for the 'Tiger Gang' to collect the money.
β¦β¦
Today, the tiger master was dressed in pitch black, revealing his sturdy tendons, followed by two followers, and came to Willow Hutong.
"What's the matter, is that Fang family kid abnormal?"
Master Hu asked suddenly.
Last month, Fang Rui was happy to pay money, but he was targeted by him with a treacherous mind.
ββFor example, a person in the market like Hu Ye, who has dealt with the three religions and nine streams a lot, is the most keen, and the slightest disturbance will cause vigilance.
In the face of this situation, he has always 'rather kill mistakes than let them go'.
Therefore, there was a scene of sending people to stare at the Fang family.
This can't blame Fang Rui for not being cautious at the beginning, it really is: at that time, if Fang Rui really wanted to say a few more words, I was afraid that he would be set up as a target and beaten up.
In short, in this world, the people at the bottom are not right, and they ignore the left and right, so they can only choose a slightly better choice from the next sign.
"Don't worry, Master Hu, let's all stare at it, there's nothing abnormal. I really want to say that I am more honest than when Dr. Fang was there. "A follower.
And so it is.
During this month, except for Fang Rui going to the black market at night, the Fang family was really too honest to be honest, and even the occasional improvement of the food was secretly and deeply hidden.
"It seems that it is indeed the old Fang who has left the army, and the Fang family has no confidence."
The tiger master sighed endlessly: "It's a pity, sister-in-law of the Fang family, it was originally good, but now it's ......"
Obviously, he also heard about the Fang family's 'infectious disease'.
Fang Rui didn't know that his caution had allowed him and the Fang family to avoid a lot of trouble unintentionally.
β¦β¦
Caozhitang.
Fang Rui paid this month's money, and easily sent away the tiger master.
- Of course, the tiger master's 'smell of illness and change color', and he is afraid of being contaminated with bad luck, which is not a factor.
Not long after.
Fang Rui was sitting in the hall when he suddenly heard a cry outside.
"What's wrong?" Fang Xue lifted the curtain in the inner room, and Fang Ling followed up, following behind like a fart.
"Mother, Ling'er, you stay at home, I'll go out and have a look." Fang Rui had some guesses in his heart, so he explained like this and went out.
β¦β¦
As Fang Rui expected in his heart, it was indeed the old Chu family.
"Uncle Sledgehammer, Sister-in-law Caigen, Uncle Zaohuai......"
Fang Rui greeted them one by one.
These people laughed in response, but unconsciously avoided some of them - apparently afraid of the rumored 'contagion'.
When Fang Rui saw this scene, his expression was not the slightest bit unusual, no matter how these people were treated and their attitudes were, every time they met, he would be polite enough, at least people couldn't find fault with it.
Of course, behind the surface politeness, there is actually alienation and indifference.
Love is deep and longevity, and wisdom will hurt.
In this small Changshan County, tragic things happen every day, and no one knows whose turn will be next, Fang Rui doesn't want these neighbors to help anything, and he doesn't want to establish too close a relationship with them, so as not to be sad when tragic things happen, and be affected by emotions in judgment.
Only the third lady, with the same attitude as usual, came over to say hello: "Brother Rui is getting more and more energetic!" β
"The third sister is also more beautiful."
Fang Rui politely blew each other and asked, "Third sister, what's wrong?" β
"What else, old Chu family...... Alas! β
The third lady sighed and didn't continue.
Fang Rui looked through the crack of the person who got out of the way.
Saw:
Lao Chutou was wrapped in a straw mat and lay on the ground, Xiao Chu knelt on the side, holding Lao Chutou's hand, and his body was full of messy footprints.
Fang Rui knew what was going on when he thought about it, it was nothing more than that: the old Chu family couldn't pay the money, and was kicked out by the tiger master who took the house, filled it, and drove it out.
"That's a ......"
He looked at the old man wrapped in a straw mat.
Compared with the last time they met, the old Chu head at this time was like a withered head, almost without a human form, even his consciousness was confused, his shriveled and withered eyes collapsed together, and he unconsciously shouted in his mouth: "Baby, baby, bracelet ......"
Even the neighbors who didn't deal with the old Chu family in the past couldn't bear it when they saw this scene, and they had relatives in their hearts.
However, no one helped.
At this time, everyone is struggling, and they are barely living next to each other, and there is really no extra strength.
The reality is: nothing can be done but sympathy.
"Alas!"
"Alas!"
"Alas!"
β¦β¦
Maybe he couldn't bear to look at it, or maybe he was afraid that Xiao Chu would ask for his own head, and the neighbors either shook their heads or sighed, and left one after another.
Fang Rui thought for a while and followed home, but after a while, he took out two catties of sorghum noodles from home and put them beside Xiao Chu.
It's not that he can't take more, it's true: any more, it's a blessing in disguise.
ββWhether it is for Lao Chu's father and son, or the Fang family, this is the case.
Xiao Chu buried his head, his hands clenched, holding the old Chu's hand tightly, his eyes were cloudy, and he didn't seem to notice Fang Rui.
Fang Rui didn't show his merits, silently put down the burlap bag, and left quietly, without speaking, and without disturbing Xiao Chu.
β¦β¦
Return to Caozhitang.
About a quarter of an hour later.
Outside, a cry of sorrow suddenly sounded.
Fang Rui hurriedly got up and came to the window to look.
I saw: Xiao Chu hugged the straw mat and wrapped Lao Chu's head, crying bitterly.
He knew that it should be ...... Old Chu swallowed.
"Daddy!"
"Daddy!"
"Daddy!"
A hoarse call came from outside the window, heartbreaking, like the hoarse wind howling in the cold winter moon.
Next to him, Fang Xue also came over at some point, looking out through the window.
"Old Chu Family...... It's gone! Fang Xue said.
She didn't say anything to help Lao Chu's father and son.
Before, Fang Rui took out the two catties of sorghum noodles, which she acquiesced in, more, but the Fang family was powerless.
"Yes, the old Chu family is gone."
Fang Rui muttered and repeated, closed his eyes, and the old Chutou's withered face appeared in his mind, and he called out in a delirious voice, 'Baby, damn, bracelet......
", the way of this world ......," he said.
