Chapter 24: Wooing
"Wow Wow Wow ......"
As soon as Jia Shi's voice fell, a baby cry sounded, as if it was with him
The tacit understanding is general.
The Qin woman knelt on the ground and was stunned, quickly picked up her son, and kissed the immature little face in swaddling clothes tremblingly.
"You're hungry, aren't you?"
She wiped her tears and coaxed softly: "Huang Xu'er is good, when I go back, my mother will feed you rice, okay?"
"Whew......"
The baby let out a thin cry and waved its palms wildly, as if it was about to grasp something.
Inadvertently, the hand tugged at the sleeve of his shirt.
"Ahh
The blood stains on the corners of his clothes belonged to his father.
The hand was thin, and the nails were yellow and dry......
……
The shack is very small, let alone lying down and sleeping, it is not easy to squeeze more than a dozen people to sit in a row and share food.
The millet is placed in the pot and supplemented with snow water, and the fragrance wafts through the steaming steam.
The herbs are put into the bowl, and the aroma of the bitter medicinal juice fills the tip of the nose.
The smell of the two is mixed in one place, and it is strange that they harmonize with each other.
"Money and food are the foundation of our future life in exchange for the lives of the brothers. We're going to pick someone to take care of it for us for the time being...... You can also understand Mr. Bookkeeper......"
Meng Ke sat on the floor, leaning his back against the door, withstanding the violent snowstorm outside the house.
The men were closest to him, the old and young women and children sat slightly inward, and Dr. Zhong sat by the fire, decocting medicine and boiling porridge at the same time.
Looking at this rival who was just getting started, he shook his head, raised his eyebrows and sighed.
Lu Cai promised to help him with a cart of herbs, and in return, he would diagnose and treat these old, weak, sick and disabled people until they were cured.
Not to mention the two old men who suffered from wind and cold, it was the injury on Meng Ke's body, and it was difficult to recover without ten days and half a month.
"I hope to spend these days in peace, so that after I slip away with the herbs, the government will come to encircle and suppress me......
……
"Is there anyone going to plan the plate?"
No one answered.
Not to mention the plan, except for Jia Shi, everyone basically doesn't know a single big word.
Meng Xianzhi shook his head helplessly, "If you don't take the initiative, then we will have to name it!" ”
Everyone is still looking at their noses and noses, and when they saw Meng Ke's gaze, they avoided it one after another.
"Meng Xiaolang, don't look at the forehead, you let the forehead carry a knife to cut people, and the forehead will definitely not say a word, but this counts...... The maximum amount can be calculated as ten catties of pork and half a tael of silver! ”
"Meng Xiaolang, you know the e, E, Zhao Sanping has never studied since he was a child......"
"I don't love money, I don't have a concept of money......"
……
Each has its own excuses, all of which are shirks.
The real reason for this is nothing more than that: I really don't know how to count, and I am worried about thankless work.
Meng saw that everyone was dodging him, shook his head helplessly, and simply turned his head and looked at Zhong Xinyi: "Doctor Zhong, this time it really depends on you...... I am alive and I really want to thank you. ”
"Huh? ……”
Zhong Xinyi, who was still decocting medicine, was suddenly named, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart, continued his movements, and said indifferently: "You don't have to worry about it." ”
"Then trouble Dr. Zhong to bother again! The money and food will be in your hands for the time being. ”
Meng Ke said, took an abacus and handed it to him.
"Meng Xiaolang, how can the money and food be handed over to outsiders......
Before he could say anything against it, he was pressed back by Meng Ke.
On the other side, Zhong Xinyi's eyes suddenly widened.
"Meng Xiaolang, what do you mean?" He asked coldly with a calm face.
