Qu Mantian was awakened by the cold.

He was lying on the ground, half of his body was wet, it had rained all night last night, the air was cold, the wooden windows were wide open, and the courtyard was silent, except for the small sound of the kitchen.

Headache splitting and weakness.

I finally grabbed the wall and stood up, my feet were weak, and I almost fell to the ground again.

How could he be on the ground?

Is it a dream?

What about Wang?

Qu Mantian pressed his aching temples, vaguely anxious that he had a very terrible dream last night.

Nightmares, dreams of ghosts!

Qu Zhe's short-lived ghost actually asked him to turn himself in, don't even think about it, he is dead, he should accept his fate, what are you doing to stir up the world, you can't live!

It's better to lie flat.

He touched his forehead, it was hot, and his heart tightened, and he was cold.

In these years, being infected with wind and cold is equivalent to resigning yourself to fate, and you want to carry it without taking medicine, and you are delusional.

"Old woman! Old woman! ”

He held on to the wall and walked out in a panic.

The eldest daughter-in-law was cooking in the kitchen and came out with a wooden shovel, "Dad, what's wrong?" ”

"Where's your mother?"

"Mother? I—I didn't see it..."Her face was full of confusion, "Is my mother up?" ”

When she came out, her in-laws' doors were still closed, and she didn't hear anything else.

Not only that, but my grandparents, who usually wake up early, haven't moved at this time.

It's weird.

Qu Mantian only thought that Wang had gone out for a walk, and waved his hand, "I have a headache, you go and ask a doctor for me." ”

The eldest daughter-in-law was stunned, "I still have to cook." ”

"Rice..."Everyone else is going to die, what else do you want to eat, do you have nothing to eat, wave your hand, "You go and call the boss for me." ”

After instructing, he asked the eldest girl to pour him a glass of water.

After only a few words, his throat was dry and smoky, and it hurt badly, and it seemed that this wind and cold really lived up to its reputation.

Qu Da was still sleepy-eyed when he walked over, rubbing his eyes, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" ”

Qu Mantian coughed twice, and said, "I have a cold, you go and invite Dr. Tian over for me." ”

Qu Da didn't leave.

Qu Mantian: "... Don't you hear, what are you doing here, are you not happy until the labor and management die of illness! ”

"Dad, that... Silver..."Qu Da was also very aggrieved.

His parents are not separated, and the money in the family is in the hands of his parents, and his family doesn't even have a copper plate.

"Debt collection things, what did labor and management do in their previous lives to spread out to you unfilial sons..."He scolded and went back to the room, opened the box containing the money, and planned to count a few copper plates.

There are no doctors in the village.

To go to the town please.

But it takes more than an hour to come from the town, and there are a lot of delays, so the doctor has to charge a few copper plates for the journey fee to avoid running away.

Qu Da squatted in front of the basin and washed his face, when he heard an angry roar from the house.

Qu Mantian rushed out with a gloomy face holding the wooden box, "Which of you took the family's silver?" Take it out! ”

Qu Da: "..."

Silver?

Do we still have this expensive thing?

Soon, the whole family was dug out of the bed and stood in the hall one by one.

A poor family loses money, which is tantamount to the collapse of the sky.

Now it's okay, and I'm all awake from sleep.

"How-how?"

"Dad, how much money have you lost!"

"It can't be our second room, we don't even know where our father and mother hide the silver!"

"Mother? It can't be that my mother secretly took it away to supplement my mother's house, right? ”

"Dad, are you mistaken, the silver is not in the box at all, or, is it hidden by my mother?"

…

So a large family began to dig through the boxes and cabinets, and even the chicken pen in the backyard was turned over.

Turned over lonely.

The second family was so tired that she didn't dare to choke with her father-in-law, so she only poked the man's arm and said in a low voice, "The third child has been out for a few days, saying that he is going to Zhou's house to drink, who knows what it is, just the few bastards around him, the family is like that, can he afford to drink and eat every day?" ”

Scold.

When they are all fools.

Qu Er is unwilling to suffer.

In the past, the eldest brother was more valued by his father, after all, he was the eldest son, which was normal. Since he had the only grandson of the Qu family, and the eldest brother's family only had three girls, his father was much more tolerant of him.

Now the family has lost money...

That's his son's money!

Immediately sneered, "Let's go through the house, and we don't even have a copper plate, Dad, you might as well ask the third brother if he took it." ”

"Impossible! It won't be Ah Fu! Qu Mantian didn't want to deny it.

"What about others? The family's money is gone, and it just so happens that he is not there. "Anyway, Qu Er doesn't believe it.

"I checked before going to bed last night, and he hasn't been back for a few days, so no one can be him!"

Qu Er heard his categorical denial, and he was even more convinced of his suspicions, "He hasn't been back for a few days, where is he eating and drinking?" Don't you want silver? ”

Qu Mantian: "..."

The head hurts even more.

If the body is not well, the person has no patience, and he is not a patient person in the first place.

"I told you, the silver was stolen last night!"

"It's not up to Dad, it's up to you when it's stolen!"

Qu Mantian: Super speechless.

So it's not going to go over, is it?

"Where's your mother?"

Since I got up in the morning, I haven't seen the Wang family, even if I visit the door, I should have come back a long time ago.

They all shook their heads.

"Big girl, you go to the village to look for it."

So the eldest girl led the second and third girls to run away.

Qu Da cautiously asked, "Dad, do you still ask for a doctor?" ”

Qu Mantian felt his head and itchy throat swelling more and more, he cleared his throat and gritted his teeth, "Please!" ”

His voice was hoarse.

If you don't drink medicine, the village will have to eat.

"The silver..."

Qu Mantian endured a headache and went back to the house, taking out three copper plates, "Go ahead." ”

This is his private house.

Before leaving, he repeatedly instructed his eldest son, "Kneel on the ground and beg the doctor to have mercy on you and save some money for the family." ”

Qu Da: "... Be. ”

Soon the three girls came back, saying that no one was found in the village.

"We went to the houses of some of the aunts who used to go to the milk, and they all said that the milk did not go today, and there was no milk in the field."

That... Where did Wang go?

The eldest daughter-in-law said weakly, "Not long ago, my uncle came and said that my cousin was going to say goodbye, and the family house should be repaired..."

Then I was pouted back by my father-in-law, and I broke up unhappily.

Qu Mantian's eyes lit up, "Second brother, you go to your uncle's house and bring your mother back!" ”

Qu Er: "I'll go." ”

Leave in a hurry.

Run fast.

Can it not be fast?

A little slower, it belongs to their second room, and the silver that only belongs to his son is cheaper than his uncle's family.

The second daughter-in-law bit her lip, "Dad, I'll pick up my mother too." Without waiting for Qu Mantian to agree, he chased after him.

The yard was empty.

It also fell silent.

Qu Mantian felt exhausted at this time.

Where did he get so much money, a dozen taels of silver, and hundreds of copper plates?
