Chapter 55: Now I'm afraid it's because they don't want to give up

When the two arrived, Wu Yunsheng was bandaging Lu Zhiqiang's wounds.

"Don't get wet until the wound is healed, try not to walk with your injured leg, I'll go over and change your dressing every day. I'll prescribe you two more pills to drink later, and beware of fever. ”

Wu Yunsheng instructed Lu Zhiqiang to take care of his wounds.

"Thank you, Dr. Wu." Lu Ming hurriedly thanked him.

Wu Mei took the handkerchief and wiped Lu Zhiqiang's sweat distressedly.

Sun wiped tears from his eyes.

She felt that she should not go into the mountains, and now she was really injured.

Such a large piece of meat is gone, her Zhiqiang doesn't know how much it hurts!

At this time, although Lu Zhiqiang did not faint, his face was pale, he was weak, and he didn't want to say a word.

Tang Mian looked at them with a guilty face, "If I don't propose to go into the deep mountains, the second cousin won't be injured." ”

Sun moved his mouth and did not speak.

Lu Ming and Wu Mei hurriedly answered: "How can I blame you, it's all because he wants to earn that money, not to mention that there is no big problem." ”

Wu Mei said that it was not a big problem, but she actually twitched in pain.

Lu Zhian also said on the side: "Brother and sister, Zhiqiang's injury has nothing to do with you, it is dangerous to fight the tiger, and we didn't listen to you to fight the tiger." ”

Tang Mian sighed and didn't speak, she knew in her heart that even if they wanted to leave at that time, they might not be able to leave.

Wu Yunsheng washed his hands and walked over at this time, "Mianniang, I see that you have carried all the medicines." Let's go and see what the medicine is. ”

Speaking of medicinal herbs, everyone's heavy mood was slightly relieved.

"Okay." Tang Mian walked into the courtyard and took out the medicinal materials from the basket one by one.

"The biggest harvest of this collection is two strains of Polygonum multiflorum and six strains of ginseng."

Lu Ming and the others all widened their eyes, God, so man!

The weak Lu Zhiqiang also showed a smile, this injury was not in vain.

Lu Zhian added with a smile, "There are also tigers." ”

Everyone came back to their senses, "Yes, and the tiger." ”

Speaking of the tiger, Lu Zheng smiled, "Zhi'an, I have asked Zhishun to carry the tiger back, you watch and deal with it." ”

"Hey, third uncle, I know." Lu Zhian responded.

Wu Yunsheng saw this united and harmonious family, smiled and began to check the medicinal materials.

After a while, Wu Yunsheng looked up at Tang Mian and said, "Fern nettle, golden vine, rhodiola, it's still the same price as before." This time's red ginseng is much better than the last one, and I can give two taels of silver a catty. ”

"Baizhu, twenty-five dollars a catty."

"White peony, twenty wen a catty."

"The quality of honeysuckle is not good, I can only give thirty wen a catty."

Everyone in the Lu family was overjoyed when they heard it, a lot of money!

Tang Mian nodded, "Whatever Doctor Wu says, he will count it." ”

Wu Yunsheng smiled slightly, "Two little ginseng plants, I can collect them for you here." For the other four slightly larger ginseng plants, I need to keep one plant, and the other three plants will be taken to the county seat with He Shou Wu to sell. ”

"In terms of price, the two small ginseng plants are ten years old, and I will give you ten taels for each plant. The ginseng I left behind is fifty years old, and I will give you one hundred and fifty taels. ”

When everyone heard the price, their hearts immediately burst into joy.

"There are two Polygonum multiflori, the larger one is in better condition, and the smaller one is slightly inferior. When you take it to the county seat and sell it, the price of a plant in good condition should not be lower than one hundred and fifty taels. The small one should not be less than eighty taels. ”

When everyone heard so much money, they instantly dizzy.

However, Wu Yunsheng continued: "The other three ginseng plants, two seventy-year-old ones and one sixty-year-old one, are all in acceptable condition. For seventy years, it is best not to sell for less than two hundred taels. For sixty years, it is best not to be less than one hundred and eighty taels. ”

Everyone was so excited that their faces were red and their hands were shaking, and they looked at Lu Zhiqiang, this injury is worth it!

"It's late today, you'd better take the medicinal herbs to the county seat early tomorrow morning." Wu Yunsheng proposed.

Tang Mian looked happy, "Thank you Dr. Wu for reminding us, we will go early tomorrow morning." ”

Wu Yunsheng nodded, "I'll go and weigh you the weight of other medicinal materials." ”

Tang Mian responded with a good hello, Wu Yunsheng turned around and went to the house to take out the weighing, and weighed all the medicinal materials he wanted to collect.

"Fern nettle, half a catty, count you eighteen wen."

"Qianjin vine, eight taels, count you fifteen wen."

"Rhodiola, three taels a catty, count you sixty wen."

"Red ginseng, one catty, a total of two taels."

"Baizhu, five catties and two taels, a total of one hundred and thirty Wen."

"White peony, three catties and eight taels, a total of seventy-six texts."

"Honeysuckle, five taels, a total of fifteen wen."

"I need to give you a total of one hundred and seventy-two taels and three hundred and fourteen wen, can you calculate it?"

Tang Mian calculated silently in his heart, and the others were not idle, Wu Meixi smiled and counted with her fingers, and the result was a mess.

Sun also calculated in his heart, but his brain couldn't keep up, and he didn't remember the price Wu Yunsheng said.

After a while, Tang Mian spoke: "The silver money is right. ”

"Okay." Wu Yunsheng responded, "In addition, Zhiqiang needs to change the medicine six times, grab two more pairs of medicines, plus the medicine money just now, a total of three taels of silver." In addition to his medicine money, I need to give you one hundred and sixty-nine taels and three hundred and fourteen wen. ”

This time, everyone will count, yes.

"Okay, Dr. Wu." Tang Mian responded.

Wu Yunsheng smiled, "You wait, I'll go into the house and get the silver." ”

When Wu Mei heard that she was taking the silver, she excitedly held Lu Zhiqiang's hand. Lu Zhiqiang was infected by her emotions and laughed silently.

The mood of the other people was also quite high, rubbing their hands and laughing like fools.

After waiting for a while, Wu Yunsheng walked out with two pairs of medicines in his hands, "This is Zhiqiang's medicine, I'll boil it for him to drink when I go back." ”

Wu Mei answered and immediately took it.

After giving the medicine, Wu Yunsheng took out the silver money again, "This is the silver ticket of Fenglong Qianzhuang, one hundred taels, six ten taels, Dayu Guotong exchange, and the rest will be given in cash, you can order it." ”

Tang Mian looked at the others, took the silver ticket and the silver and counted it, "Doctor Wu, it's all right." ”

Wu Yunsheng smiled, "Although some of you were injured this time, the harvest was still good." Next time, if you go into the mountains again, I hope you can find medicinal herbs that are longer in the year. ”

"Thank you, Dr. Wu, let's go first." Tang Mian said.

Wu Yunsheng nodded, "Go ahead." ”

Lu Zhian stepped forward to pick up Lu Zhiqiang, and the group left his house after greeting Wu Yunsheng.

Walking out of Wu Yunsheng's house, Lu Ming looked at no one around and whispered: "Third brother, the silver will be placed with you first, and then we will talk about it when other medicinal herbs and tigers are sold tomorrow." ”

Lu Zheng shook his head, "Second brother, the money is still in your family or the eldest brother's house." Put our house, people are weak, in case of thieves, where can they be guarded. ”

Lu Ming thought about it, "Okay, let's let our house go first." ”

After hearing this, Tang Mian immediately handed the wrapped silver ticket and scattered silver to Lu Ming, "Second uncle." ”

Lu Ming took it and put it directly into his arms.

"Tomorrow when I go to the city to sell medicine and sell tigers, let Zhi'an and Zhihai go with Mianniang."

Lu Zheng had no opinion, "Okay." ”

"Third uncle, Zhihai and I will pick up my younger siblings at the beginning of tomorrow." Lu Zhian said.

Lu Zheng nodded, "Okay." ”

glanced at Lu Zhiqiang, who had already fallen asleep, and said, "Zhiqiang's dart tomorrow ....."

Lu Ming: "You don't have to worry about this, I'll let Zhihai run later." ”

Lu Zheng replied softly.

After saying that, they went home.

"I never expected that this time I could have such a harvest from going into the mountains!" Not long after the separation of the people, Sun sighed.

Lu Ming frowned and scolded her, "Be quiet, this is still outside, do you want the whole village to know?" ”

Sun paused and looked cautiously at the people walking not far away, "They shouldn't have heard, right?" ”

Lu Ming glanced at her, "This matter, except for being in your own home, you can't say where to go." If you attract other people's eyes and are targeted, can you still have a peaceful birthday? ”

Sun's heart choked, and it was.

"I see."

"Zhiqiang's dart, do we have to pay for the silver?" Sun asked.

Lu Ming sighed, "Zhiqiang can't go, he will definitely have to increase the price if he finds someone temporarily, and Zhiqiang will have to pay for this money." ”

Sun was distressed, but when he thought of the money he earned today, he felt better.

On the other side, when Tang Mian and the others returned home, Lu Zheng asked her: "Mianniang, didn't you tell your father about going into the mountains?" ”

"Nope." Tang Mian shook his head, "Did my eldest brother come over yesterday and say something?" ”

Lu Zheng sighed, "Your eldest brother was so angry that he almost rushed into the mountain to find you, and it took a lot of effort for the big guy to persuade him." ”

Tang Mian was slightly stunned, it's over!

The eldest brother is so angry, the next time he goes back to his parents' house, he will be scolded!

Looking at Tang Mian's rather worried look, Lu Zheng shook his head, "Do you still know how to be afraid!" ”

Tang Mian smiled embarrassedly, "I thought they would definitely disagree, so I didn't tell them." ”

"Dad, have you harvested all the rice in our family?" Tang Mian diverted the topic and asked.

Lu Zheng nodded, "Yesterday, your eldest brother and sister-in-law came to help for a day, plus six people from your eldest uncle's second uncle's family, so hurry up and finish it this afternoon." ”

The family originally had three acres of land, but later earned some money and bought another five acres of land, and there was not much left after paying taxes on the harvest of eight acres of land.

In previous years, there was not so much shortage of money, but there was no grain sold.

This year, I'm afraid I'll have to sell some out.

"Dad, is the rice drying dam at this time, do you want to harvest it?" Tang Mian asked.

Lu Zheng nodded, "It's indeed in the dam, and your uncle is guarding there." However, there is no need to collect it. Today, the dam has dried the grain of several other families, and tomorrow it will be our turn to dry. ”

"After dinner later, I'll go and change your uncle, I won't come back tonight, I'll be guarding the dam."

Tang Mian responded.

Lu Zheng thought about it, and still said: "Mianniang, I have earned a lot of silver this time, and I have a lot of money in my hands. After we are strong, we can save the money slowly, and don't go to the mountains again. ”

Tang Mian looked stunned, these silver were far from enough.

"Dad, let's see what the lobby brother and the second cousin mean!"

If the two cousins don't go, she won't be able to go alone.

Lu Zheng frowned, "Mianniang, the deep mountains are too dangerous, and today it was Zhiqiang's good luck that he didn't hurt the vital point." If you are unlucky and have an accident, the relationship between the three of us may fade. ”

Tang Mian paused and said, "Dad, I'm afraid it's the lobby brother who is unwilling to give up now." ”

If you want to send your child to the county school, you can spend a lot of money. Moreover, Brother Lobby has more than one son.

The second cousin also has two sons now, and they all have to plan for them.

What's more, the money shared by the eldest uncle and the second uncle's family belongs to the whole family, and although the second cousin of the lobby brother can take the lion's share, he still doesn't get so much. Unlike her, most of the money she gets will not ask for it, it's all hers.

Lu Zheng sighed deeply, "Okay, you rest first, your mother is already cooking." ”

"Hmm." Tang Mian nodded.

Zhuang Zhuang hasn't seen Tang Mian for two days, she is very sticky to her at this time, Tang Mian takes a step, he follows.

Tang Mian smiled and rubbed his little head, and said softly, "Mother will go take a bath first, and I'll accompany you later." ”

I stayed in the mountains for two days without washing, and everything was about to stink on a hot day.

"Okay." Zhuang Zhuang raised a smile and answered obediently.

Tang Mian took a wooden basin to the stove room to scoop water, Li had already cooked on the fire, and there was hot water.

Tang Mian took a bath and suddenly felt relaxed.

"Mother." As soon as Tang Mian cleaned up after taking a bath, Zhuang Zhuang stuck to him.

Tang Mian smiled and beckoned, "Have you been obedient at home in the past two days?" ”

"Hmm." Zhuang Zhuang nodded heavily, "Mother, I have eaten obediently and drank medicine obediently." In the past two days, my grandfather has been busy teaching me to memorize, but I have reviewed what I learned before and I also have the words I recognized before practicing. ”

"Yes! Zhuang Zhuang is really a good boy! Tang Mian praised him happily.

When the little guy heard this, he twisted his body a little embarrassed.

After a while, he asked, "Mother, I want to practice calligraphy with pen and ink, can I?" ”

"Naturally." Tang Mian responded, "I'll buy it for you when I go to the county seat tomorrow." ”

Zhuang Zhuang's eyes lit up, "Thank you, mother." ”

"You practice calligraphy well and study hard, which is the greatest thank you to your mother." Tang Mian rubbed his head and said.

"Hmm." Zhuang Zhuang nodded heavily, "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely work hard, and I will definitely come back with a meritorious name." ”

"Okay, mom wait." Tang Mian pinched his face and said.

"You play by yourself first, and my mother will go to the stove room."

Zhuang Zhuang responded with a hello, and Tang Mian got up and went out to the stove room.

At this time, Li Shi was holding a spoon to stir the soup in the crockpot, which was stewed after the rice was harvested today.

She thought that Tang Mian had eaten dry cakes in the mountains for two days, and there was no oil or water in her stomach, so she took half of the meat that had not been used up in the past two days and stewed it.

Halfway through the stew, she heard that Lu Zhian came back with the unconscious Lu Zhiqiang on his back, and she was so frightened that she thought that something had happened to Tang Mian, so she left the things in the stove room and ran to Qingzhu Mountain.

"Mother, what else is there to do?" Tang Mian walked into the stove room, rolled up his sleeves and said.

Li Shi closed the lid of the crockpot, put the spoon aside, and said, "There is nothing to do, and you can eat with a small dish." ”

"I'll fry it." Tang Mian walked to the cupboard, took off his shirt and said.

Li nodded, "Okay, you can come." Prepare early and eat early, and your father will go to the dam to replace your uncle. ”

"Hmm."

With Tang Mian's addition, the meal was quickly ready.

After eating, Lu Zheng went to the dam.

Li asked Tang Mian to go back to the house to rest, Tang Mian did not fight to work, went back to the house to accompany Zhuangzhuang, listened to his endorsement, and taught him new content.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Lu Zhian drove an ox cart and took Lu Zhishun and the killed tiger to take Tang Mian to the county seat.
