After Tao Qiqi took Ma Shi and Ma Zhu into the city, he did not go directly to the pharmacy to see a doctor, but chose a roadside stall and asked for a few bowls of noodles.

"Qiqi, we're not hungry, let's go to the pharmacy by ourselves and take a look, see if you still have something, or you should go and get busy first." Ma said a little weakly.

"Auntie, don't worry, I can understand some medicine now, let's sit down and I'll show you, if I can see it, then we can't save some money, if I can't see it, let's go to the pharmacy when we're full."

"We've been delaying here for too long, won't they be unhappy for a while?" Ma Zhu said, with a worried look on his face, for fear of causing trouble for Tao Qiqi.

"Don't worry about this, isn't there still a relative of the prefect's family here, I will invite him to eat noodles, and let him send you out of the city in a while, the guard chief will not dare to say anything."

Nangong Yi on the side saw that he still had his own business, and immediately nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, I will send you out of the city in a while, if anyone dares to embarrass you, I will let Lord Yang beat them and make their butts bloom." ”

"No, no, no, don't bother." Ma's waved his hand.

Tao Qiqi hurriedly changed the topic: "Okay, that's it, while the noodles haven't come up yet, I'll take a look at my aunt's pulse first." ”

After speaking, Tao Qiqi took Ma's hand and began to take the pulse.

After taking the pulse, he said slowly: "It's okay, Auntie, this is a slight heat stroke, fortunately it's not serious, it just so happens that I got some herbs on the mountain today, and I'll bring some back to my aunt to decoction water for a while." In addition, I will bring you some herbs to prevent heat stroke, and you can take them home and boil water to drink.

In this weather, heat stroke is inevitable, and if you feel unwell next time, you must see a doctor earlier, and you can't drag it out. Fortunately, my aunt only suffered a slight heat stroke, and if it was serious, the consequences would be unimaginable for a day. ”

After Tao Qiqi finished speaking, the noodles he asked for were just right.

But just when Nangong Yi happily picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat, Tao Qiqi stopped him: "Don't eat it yet, go to the grain store to buy some food for me, and then buy a few chickens called flowers." ”

Nangong Yi was shocked by Tao Qiqi's instructions, "Do you know who I am?" You're going to let me buy you food!" ”

Tao Qiqi replied lightly: "I know, do you want to see your third brother?" ”

As soon as Nangong Yi heard the third brother, he immediately nodded obediently: "Okay, I'll buy it, how much will I buy?" ”

Tao Qiqi thought for a while and replied: "Buy two thousand catties of coarse grain, and buy four more called flower chickens." ”

"Why do you want so much coarse grain?"

"Eat, what else can you do?"

"Can you eat that much?"

"If I can't finish eating, can't I give it away? Why is there so much nonsense, take the silver, hurry up and buy it. After Tao Qiqi finished speaking, he took out the one hundred taels of silver tickets he got from Nangong Yi at noon and gave it to him.

Nangong Yi looked at the silver that came out of his pocket, and his face was distressed.

Finally, before leaving with the silver, he did not forget to say, "Keep my noodles for me." ”

Tao Qiqi didn't answer him, but directly gave him a slap in the eye, and finally Nangong Yi immediately went to purchase it honestly.

By the time he returned, his bowl of noodles was empty.

"Where's my noodles?"

"Eat."

Nangong Yi wanted to cry without tears: "I haven't eaten for a day, you man, not only vicious, but also has no conscience." ”

Tao Qiqi looked at Nangong Yi, who was about to cry, and replied: "Don't howl, I'll go back and make it up for you later." ”

"Then I'm going to add chicken legs."

"Okay, don't talk about chicken legs, I'll send you ...... again"

As soon as Nangong Yi heard it, he knew what Tao Qiqi was going to say, thinking about the scene at noon, he hurriedly said something to stop: "Stop, stop, stop." One chicken leg is enough, one chicken leg is enough, nothing else is needed. ”

Tao Qiqi looked at Nangong Yi and couldn't help but smile: "Okay, then your poached egg will be mine." ”

Hearing that it was a poached egg, not a chicken butt, Nangong Yi looked at Tao Qiqi: "Yes, I want a poached egg, who said I don't want it." ”

"You just said you didn't want to."

"What I just said doesn't count."

"Okay, it's not early, you can help me get them out of the city later, I'll wait for you in the city." After Tao Qiqi finished speaking, he led Ma and them into the carriage.

Nangong Yi followed behind the team that delivered food.

When he arrived at the gate of the city, Tao Qiqi handed the four chickens called Hua that Nangong Yi bought to Ma's: "Auntie, one of these four chickens is for you, and the other three are for Zhang Po and a few of them.

In addition, you and Mrs. Zhang and a few of them have a hundred catties of food, and the rest is even if I have a little heart for the villagers, and I will let the village chief and uncle help distribute it to everyone when the time comes. My ability is limited, and I hope you don't dislike it. ”

Tao Qiqi bought so much food to share with everyone, firstly, she wanted to repay Ma and Zhang Po for their help to her when she left Taojia Village before, and secondly, although the villagers did not have much help or kindness to her, they did not hurt them much or hurt them, so now they can help everyone, so give Ma a hundred catties of food, and other villagers will not isolate them.

"Silly boy, it's not easy for you, you keep these grains, and this chicken, you can keep them and eat them yourself, the villagers are all fine at the moment, and we won't worry about the relief food when it comes down." Ma was moved to tears by Peach Qiqi.

Tao Qiqi replied: "The food is bought for the villagers, and I can't eat it myself." Now at this juncture, food is particularly important, although it is not much, each family can only divide a dozen catties, and it is good to be able to hold on for a period of time. ”

"Then, I will collect the grain for the villagers, but this chicken ......"

"Chickens are for everyone to replenish their bodies."

"This ......"

Ma Zhu on the side saw the two of them pushing around, and hurriedly persuaded: "Mother, you just accept it, this is all Qiqi's heart, if you don't accept it, Qiqi will feel uncomfortable." ”

Ma Shi listened to his son's words, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then nodded: "Okay, auntie accept it, accept it, auntie thank you for the villagers." ”

As he spoke, Ma's voice was a little choked: "I don't know when we will be able to meet again, take care of your mother for us, and let her take care of herself." I won't talk about it when you go back, and you can take care of yourself. ”

"Auntie, don't worry, I will take care of myself, take care of my mother, and you must also take care of yourself."

"You are blessed, but we are not blessed."

"Okay, auntie, it's not too early, remember that the medicine I got you should drink on time. Don't be reluctant to see a doctor if you don't feel well in the future, because the delay is serious, and you will spend more money. ”

"Good!" Ma Shi responded, hugged Tao Qiqi, and Nangong Yi sent them out of the city.

When he arrived at the resting place in Taojia Village, Nangong Yi briefly told Village Chief Ma what Tao Qiqi had just said about distributing food.

Telling Village Chief Ma is equivalent to telling the villagers in Taojia Village.

In this way, the villagers of the province can misunderstand the village chief's family.

After speaking, before the villagers could say anything, Nangong Yi turned around and left.
