I don’t know how long I sat there, but the door behind the strong man rang, and then a girl in her 16 or 17 years old in blue walked out from inside. When she saw someone sitting in front of the door, she was startled. One of the feet that had just reached out immediately shrank back.
"Girl, are you scaring you?" The strong man hurriedly stood up and bowed to the door to apologize.
After a while, the door opened again. The girl poked her head out and asked the strong man with a blushing face: "Why are you sitting here early in the morning?"
"Miss is like this. I picked some medicinal materials on the mountain yesterday and carried them here to sell them. But it was too late. The medicinal materials shops in the city were closed, so I found an inn to stay in. I came here early in the morning and wanted to sell medicinal materials to you. I saw that the door was not opened, but I didn't expect to scare you, Miss!" When I said these words, the strong man kept lowering his head and did not dare to look up at the other person.
The girl then found the medicine basket and the medicinal materials placed beside her, and a smile appeared on her face: "It turns out that she sells medicinal materials, so you come with me to take the medicinal materials back!"
"Okay!" After hearing this, the strong man hurriedly picked up the medicine basket and followed the girl in green to the yard. The strong man saw that the whole yard was filled with various herbs being dried. The whole yard was also filled with the smell of herbs!
"Put the medicinal materials on this?" The girl in green pointed to an empty medicine rack on top and asked the strong man to pour the herbs on it. After the preparation, the girl in green led the strong man to the front and took some copper coins from the counter and handed them to the strong man.
"Thank you!" The brawny man took the money and thanked the girl repeatedly.
"Why did I see you for the first time? Is it from another place?" The girl in green told the strong man not to thank him. The money was what she should have given. Seeing the strong man carefully put the money in his arms, she seemed to be afraid of losing it, and finally she touched it with her hands and couldn't find it funny.
"Yes, I came here from another place to join my uncle, but when I arrived, I realized that my uncle had moved to Jiangnan a few years ago, and I had all my money. My hometown is surrounded by mountains, and there are many medicinal materials on the mountain. Because I am poor and look down on the doctor, the villagers will go to the mountain to pick some herbs when they are sick. So I have known medicinal materials since I was a child. When I saw a lot of mountains here, I thought there must be a lot of medicinal materials in it, so I went to the mountain to pick some and sell them!" The strong man told the girl in green about the story of visiting her from another place to visit her.
"That's it!" the girl in green looked at the strong man with a sympathy and asked, "Then where do you sleep every night now?"
"I have been living in a cave these days. Yesterday I came to the city to sell medicine and saw that your pharmacy shops were closed, so I found an inn to stay in!" The strong man replied.
"It's so pitiful!" The girl in green showed a sympathetic look and continued to ask: "I haven't asked your name yet!"
"My name is Lu Wei!" Lu Wei replied carefully.
"Brother Lu, what are your plans in the future?" Even the girl in green didn't know why she was so concerned about the stranger named Lu Wei in front of her!
"I plan to collect herbs and sell them first, save some money to build a room in the countryside, so that I can have a place to live!" Lu Wei said.
"Then aren't you going to Jiangnan to find your relatives?" The girl in green blinked her smart eyes.
"I came to join my uncle this time to have a place to settle down. Where can I go to find him in Jiangnan? So I don't want to leave and plan to stay!" Lu Wei told the girl in green that the mountains and rivers are beautiful and outstanding. She fell in love with this place as soon as she got here, so she decided to settle down here.
"Brother Lu, are there only one person at home?" After asking this, the girl in green felt something was wrong, and her face turned red and lowered her head!
"I have been dependent on my mother since I was a child. My mother started to get sick a few years ago because of overwork. She passed away a month ago. Before her death, she was worried that I would live alone, so she asked me to come here to join my uncle! After burying my mother, I came here alone through mountains and rivers, but unexpectedly I was in vain!" Lu Wei smiled bitterly after saying that!
"Brother Lu, do you think this is OK? Our pharmacy shop is because my grandfather and I lack manpower. Otherwise, you can stay and pay you some wages every month!" After saying that, the girl in green looked up at the strong man in front of her.
"This!" Lu Wei scratched his head and smiled honestly: "That's so thankful!"
"So Brother Lu, did you agree?" The girl in green looked happy.
"Wan'er, who are you talking to? Is the food ready?" Before Lu Wei nodded, a voice came from the main hall asking the girl in green if she had the food ready.
"The rice has been prepared. By the way, Grandpa, I will introduce someone to you!" After that, Wan'er stepped forward and took Lu Wei's hand to walk towards the main hall. Lu Wei hesitated for a while, but finally he couldn't help but follow him into the main hall. When Lu Wei entered the room, he saw an old man wearing a gray robe, with white hair, bright eyes, and a gray beard sitting there. Seeing Wan'er entering the room and holding a strange man's hand in the hand, the old man couldn't help but frowned and looked at the strong man in front of him carefully.
"Grandpa, this is Brother Lu. I have invited him to our house to do things!" Only then did Wan'er realize that she was still holding Lu Wei's hand in front of her grandfather, and hurriedly let go and said to Lu Wei: "Brother Lu, this is my grandfather!"
"Lu Wei has seen grandpa!" Lu Wei hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted the old man.
"I only have one granddaughter. You are the grandson who emerged. Go quickly!" The old man then took his eyes off Lu Wei, waved his hand and drove the other party away.
"This!" Lu Wei felt a little embarrassed in the face of the old man's drive, but he didn't say anything and turned around and walked out. During this period, he neither looked back nor looked at Wan'er!
"Grandpa, why are you doing this?" Seeing Lu Wei leave, Wan'er stomped her feet in a hurry and turned around to chase her out.
"Stop it!" The old man called Wan'er sternly, and saw that the other party stood there reluctantly, fiddled with the corner of his clothes and was angry. The old man sighed and said, "You are still young, and I don't know that the sinister people in the world are unpredictable! Do you know what kind of person he is?" Seeing Wan'er shaking her head, the old man continued to speak in a lesson tone: "You don't even know who the other party is, so you dare to take it in. What if he is a thief?"
"Grandpa is not as serious as you said?" Wan'er pouted and she lowered her head.
"Okay, let's have a meal if you don't talk about this!" After that, the old man sat up with the table next to him.
