Bought a cow
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, everyone woke up.
Zhao Sichen, like the night before, tied Wei Qianlang behind him and climbed down from the tree with him on his back.
Subsequently, Zhao Sichen went to the river to retrieve the water, and by the way, he picked up the grass and dragged the stretcher back.
Fortunately, it was in the dense forest, the grass and trees were luxuriant, Yunbi took local materials, picked up dry firewood and withered grass on the side, set up a small pot under the tree, boiled porridge, boiled medicine, and then handed the porridge and medicine to Wei Qianlang one by one.
After a night, Wei Qianlang's mood was very different from before, he took the porridge in Yun Bi's hand, learned Zhao Sichen's shouting, and solemnly thanked: "Thank you Sister Yunbi, you have taken care of me for your hard work in the past few days." β
This was the first time that Wei Qianlang had thanked Yun Bi so sincerely.
Yun Bi also noticed that Wei Qianlang's eyebrows were sparse, and the gloomy color on his face decreased. She was also happy, pursed her lips and smiled at the moment, blessed Wei Qianlang, and said softly: "I cooked more porridge today, you are recuperating from your injuries, and you will drink two more bowls later." β
Wei Qianlang quickly drank two bowls of porridge and drank a large bowl of black medicine.
Zhao Sichen dragged the stretcher to Wei Qianlang, stretched out his hand, and wanted to support Wei Qianlang-
Wei Qianlang hurriedly shook his head, dodged Zhao Sichen's outstretched hand, supported the trunk of the big tree on the side, stood up slowly, and said, "No, I don't need to lie on a stretcher today, I can walk by myself." β
Zhao Sichen disagreed: "No, you have just lost your fever, and the wound is still recovering, so you can't move." The most important thing now is to recuperate, but don't toss around. β
Wei Qianlang had already stood up by himself, coughed lightly in his throat with a muffled voice, pressed down the stuffiness in his chest, and said in a deep voice: "No need, I'll go by myself." You can give me a branch to support me. β
In the past, Wei Qianlang spoke in such a tone and exerted coercion on others, but he was afraid that the people around him had already knelt down in a crush, and he did not dare to disobey the order again.
It's a pity that now they are in Wu State, not in Daqing City of Wei State, and Zhao Sichen does not indulge him.
Seeing that Wei Qianlang refused to obey his fate, Zhao Sichen simply got started, grabbed it with one hand, and grabbed Wei Qianlang's arm.
I don't know which acupuncture point Zhao Sichen pinched Wei Qianlang, and Wei Qianlang's body suddenly became half numb.
Wei Qianlang didn't want to make a move with Zhao Sichen, so he didn't resist hard, so he could only shout in a low voice in a hurry: "You, why didn't you do it without saying a few words, it's really rude......
Zhao Sichen said with a smile: "I'm doing this for your good!" Your task now is to get your body well as soon as possible, not to worry about the little thing of lying on a stretcher......"
Wei Qianlang roared in a low voice: "I'm not a burden! β
Zhao Sichen understood at once. It turned out that the middle two teenager in front of him was entangled in his heart that he couldn't take care of himself, like a burden.
are all running for their lives, and they still care if they are powerful?
She took the money, so she naturally had to take care of him.
Zhao Sichen glanced at Wei Qianlang helplessly.
Sure enough, the boy's face was full of perseverance that did not admit defeat.
Zhao Sichen pondered.
Well, to sum it up, it's called-
Strength.
Faced with the stubbornness of the second middle school boy, Zhao Sichen knew that he couldn't fight hard, so he could only lower his voice and coax: "Of course you are not a burden - you are very skilled in martial arts, resourceful, and a capable man." So, you have to take care of your body as soon as possible before you can help with the fight! β
Wei Qianlang thought about it all night the night before.
Today, he has made up his mind not to involve the two girls again.
Now that Zhao Sichen said this, he was shaken again.
Just like this, Wei Qianlang was already being pulled by Zhao Sichen and lying on the stretcher.
Wei Qianlang sighed, covered his eyes with his hands, and reluctantly accepted his fate.
The three of them continued on their way, heading downstream along the riverbank.
Soon after, I came to a small village with only a dozen or so families.
Zhao Sichen and Yun Bi put Wei Qianlang down, and the two of them went straight to the "big family" in the village, the best-built brick and stone house.
Looking through the low wall, in front of the stone house, there was an old man basking in the sun in the courtyard, his subordinates kept weaving, while weaving bamboo.
When the two of them came to the door, Yun Bi took a few steps forward, blessed the old man, and shouted "Grandpa".
When the old man saw that the person who came was a young woman, he put down the bamboo weaving in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked, "What's the matter?" You are not from our village? Is it passing by to drink saliva? β
Seeing the old man standing up and wanting to get busy, Yun Bi said with a smile: "Grandpa, don't be busy, we brought our own water." When I saw the old man, I came to ask you for help. β
Then, Yun Bi pointed to the door and said, "Grandpa, my sister-in-law and I are going to visit relatives in Chenjia Village in front, and we have been walking for most of the day.......
The old man poked his head out and saw Zhao Sichen sitting on the side of the road not far away.
Zhao Sichen lowered his head slightly, there seemed to be a trace of shyness on his face, he couldn't see his face clearly, he only saw that he was petite and not very old.
The old man said: "Oh, that's troublesome, there is still more than half a day's journey from Chenjia Village, you two female dolls, it's not easy to do-"
Yun Bi smiled and said, "Yes, our sisters don't know what to do, so we have to come to you for help." I wonder if the old man can make it easier and sell us an ox cartβ"
When the old man heard this, he waved his hand again and again, and decisively refused: "That's not good, there is only one cow in our village-"
As he spoke, the old man had a smug look on his face: "ββThat is, my old cow, I have to plow the fields on weekdays, and I can't miss a day." Usually, if there is an urgent matter in the village, I have to rely on my ox cart to get around. My old cow is very useful, so I can't sell it to you!" β
Yun Bi turned her head to look at Zhao Sichen, and Zhao Sichen nodded.
Yun Bi turned her head and smiled at the old man and said, "Old man, I know that this cow is very important to the village. To tell you the truth, my family is quite wealthy, and my relatives in Chenjia Village are also big families, you see-"
Yun Bi took out a small handkerchief, slightly opened a corner, and there was a golden hairpin hidden in it, handed it to the old man, and said, "Old man, we don't dare to ask for this cow for nothing." But there is not much silver on his body. I bought this golden hairpin for 20 taels of silver, and I exchanged this golden hairpin for a cow with you, do you think? β
The old man's eyes widened.
He lived to be sixty years old, and he was one of the best people in this small village, and he also went to the county town to catch the market and saw some of the world.
This golden hairpin is finely made, vividly carved, and shimmers in the sun, and looks like it is made of fine gold.
Seeing that the old man was not moving, Yun Bi simply stuffed the golden hairpin into the old man's hand and said, "Grandpa, you can make it convenient." β
The old man secretly pinched it with his fingers, and sure enough, he pressed a small dimple on the golden hairpin.
He rubbed it with his hand again, and weighed it again, and it was made of pure gold, not a silver hairpin covered with gold leaf!
In the past, buying a good cow in the prime of life was enough for ten taels of silver.
Twenty taels, enough for their family to eat for a year-
What's more, the old cow in the family is already old, and he originally wanted to buy another calf next year-
In an instant, many thoughts had turned in the old man's mind, but he was still a little hesitant: "The cattle in the village cannot be bought and sold at will, and the government also has regulations......"
Yun Bi pretended to be embarrassed, took out the purse on his waist and took out three taels of broken silver, and said, "Grandpa, I only have these three taels of silver." There are only a few copper plates left on our bodies, and we still have to drink a bowl of tea and eat steamed buns on the way, and we really can't find more money. Just make it easy for you! β
Zhao Sichen, who was on the side, endured the pain, limped forward, and pleaded: "Grandpa, you can help me this time, my feet hurt so badly that I can't walk!" Besides, the loss of cattle is a common thing, and the government will not pursue it. β
Listening to Zhao Sichen's words, the old man's face relaxed.
Yun Bi struck while the iron was hot: "Grandpa, if you go back to the market and buy a sturdy cow, how will the government know?" No one else will doubt it. β
Zhao Sichen reached out and took out a handful of copper plates from his waist, stuffed them into the old man's hand, and said pitifully: "Grandpa, this is a few copper plates that I have saved, and I will give them to you as well." β
The old man panicked, hurriedly stuffed the copper plate back into Zhao Sichen's hand, and said, "No, no!" Take this cow away. These copper plates are kept for food on the road. β
Yun Bi was busy and said with a smile: "Thank you, old man." β
The old man said, "I am a fair man, and the price you give is higher than the price of buying a cow in the market." But the government prohibits the private buying and selling of cattle, and I am also at risk......"
Zhao Sichen said with a smile: "I know that we are willing to make this deal and will not turn back." I also want to thank the old man. β
On weekdays, 10 taels of silver can already buy back a good cow, not to mention so much extra money.
The old man knew in his heart that he had earned the deal.
The old man took the golden hairpin, hurriedly pulled the old ox diligently, and set up the rough ox cart.
Yunbi originally wanted to buy some rice, meat, eggs and vegetables with the old man, but the old man insisted on refusing to accept the money and gave them a basket full of them.
Yun Bi drove, Zhao Sichen sat on the board cart behind the ox cart, and waved his hand vigorously at the old man.
The two men were not in a hurry, and drove the ox cart away unhurriedly.
Turning an intersection, Zhao Sichen quickly jumped down from the ox cart, pulled a few times in the grass on the side of the road, and pulled Wei Qianlang out.
Wei Qianlang was leaning on the trunk of the tree and resting with his eyes closed, his face was not surprised or happy.
It wasn't until Zhao Sichen's smiling face appeared in front of him that he opened his eyes.
Quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the two of them had brought an ox cart, although Wei Qianlang's face was still expressionless, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
In addition to being happy, Wei Qianlang didn't forget to sneak a few glances at Zhao Sichen's shoulder.
I don't know if I dragged him away for two days, and I don't know if I will get hurt-
