This amount of money cannot be revealed rashly, otherwise it may cause him to be killed.
These days, part of the food grown by ordinary people, excluding the grain tax, Ding tax and other taxes paid, is taken away by the big families, rich men and even gangs and bandits.
The leftovers are at most enough to feed my family. In order to save food, they often only eat two meals a day, or even one meal!
In years when the harvest is bad, family workers have to find ways to go out to work and earn a few bucks in exchange for some rice bran and sorghum flour.
It is not uncommon to even sell sons and daughters.
Even so, many people still starve to death every year.
If he went shopping every now and then, he would be very conspicuous, and he would probably be targeted soon.
A helpless corpse-keeper with a sum of money in his hands is a fat sheep in the eyes of some people.
In addition, Chen Zhuo's last wish was fulfilled, and now Li Yu also got his reward.
After the old shopkeeper said just now, Li Yu got the reward for helping the deceased fulfill his last wish:
[Chen Zhuo’s last wish]
Status: Completed.
Reward: A jar of bone-strengthening medicinal wine.
At this time, Li Yu looked towards the corner of the room.
There, there was a jar of medicinal wine. The jar was dusty, about a foot high, and the mouth of the jar was sealed tightly.
After opening the plum fish, you can see that the wine inside is light yellow in color, without any impurities, and the aroma of wine mixed with medicinal aroma comes to your face.
He took a bowl and poured some out, about the size of a bite.
After taking a sip, the taste is soft, and the mellow aroma and medicinal aroma are perfectly blended together, making people have a long aftertaste.
Not long after, there was a rush of heat in his stomach, which was warm and comfortable. A thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead in the middle of winter.
“What a great wine!”
Li Yu sighed in admiration, then carefully sealed the mouth of the jar, and then moved the jar to the bedroom.
"However, even if it has the effect of nourishing the body, it is not easy to drink too much of this wine. It is best to drink a little bit every morning and evening from now on, which can not only ward off the cold but also nourish the body."
It is the time for young people to grow up. With this medicinal wine, coupled with regular work and rest, and sufficient food, you can quickly maintain a healthy and strong body.
"It's just these mortuary bed boards that are empty again."
Glancing at the empty wooden bed, Li Yu shook his head.
With the yin and yang roulette, he can gain benefits by burying corpses.
However, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. No matter how powerful his yin-yang roulette is, it is useless without a corpse.
With money, Li Yu doesn't treat himself badly.
I made a special trip down the mountain to the town and bought a bucket of rice, a bag of salt, a small can of lard, and two pieces of dry bacon, which added a bit of flavor to the meal.
During this period, he specially brought a piece of bacon and a jug of old wine to visit Yang An's grandfather.
This old man’s full name is Yang Feng. He was stepped on by a cow when he was helping the landlord’s family to herd cattle, and accidentally injured a leg. At that time, he had no money for treatment, and the root of the disease fell from then on. Later, he walked with a limp.
,Can not move.
Later, he suffered a blow due to the loss of his son, and his physical condition deteriorated day by day.
But Mr. Yang was in good spirits now. He was very happy to see Li Yu bringing wine and meat to see him. He quickly asked his grandson to take out the pickles he had picked last year, steamed some steamed buns, and fried the bacon.
Find half a plate of leftover fennel beans and warm them with old wine.
The three of them sat around and started drinking and eating meat. Li Yu chatted with Mr. Yang Feng, while Yang An just kept busy with his meal.
A skinny old yellow dog squatted under the table, his mouth watering at the smell of bacon, and he kept wagging his tail.
Mr. Yang Feng didn't seem to be very interested in the meat. He just picked it up with his chopsticks and stopped picking it up. Then he drank sips and chatted with Li Yu from time to time. Watching the two of them enjoying the meal, he kept smiling on his face.
What made him happy was not that he had wine to drink and meat to eat, but that besides his grandson, there were still people who remembered him as an old lame man.
Once this person becomes physically disabled or encounters a major change, he will inevitably become very sensitive and be able to better understand the good and bad of others.
Isn't there a saying - A friend in need is a true friend, and time is a time to reveal a person's heart.
After eating and drinking, Li Yu returned to the Yizhuang. Before leaving, he said that he would come back in a while and bring some tonic wine for the old man.
After hearing this, the smile on the old man's face became even brighter, his folds were squeezed into chrysanthemums, and he said, "Good boy."
The effect of this bone-strengthening medicinal wine is indeed good. In addition, the food is rich in oil and water, and it can be stained with meat and fish every day. Therefore, Li Yu has a great appetite these days, and he feels more energetic and energetic, and sleeps soundly.
The bones in his body seem to have become stronger.
This morning, Li Yu had breakfast and drank the medicinal wine. He was feeling a little fuzzy and sitting at the door to bask in the sun, when he saw several people pulling a cart towards Yizhuang.
Behind him was a middle-aged woman, crying.
Li Yu's heart moved and he stood up quickly.
When several people came closer, Li Yu saw a seven or eight-year-old child lying on the cart. His face was pale and blue, his body was a little swollen, and his hair was still dripping with water.
However, there was a dark mark on his ankle, which looked a bit slender, like a woman's handprint, and quite ferocious.
Seeing the black and blue handprints, Li Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he had an unknown premonition.
Among the several people, the leader was a tall and strong middle-aged man with long arms and legs. He was about thirty years old. He was wearing coarse cloth and thick clothes and was quite neat.
He carried a hunting bow on his back, a quiver on his waist, and a short knife beside him. His rough, big hands were covered with calluses. His eyes were bright and sharp, and he looked like he had a sharp look.
A vigorous temperament.
Li Yu knew this man as Guo Shouxin, the son of the village chief of Guojia Village.
In this ancient society, the clan system prevailed and imperial power did not go to the countryside.
The power at the lower level has always been in the hands of clan members, landlords and gentry in villages, towns and townships.
The village leader of Guojia Village is also a highly respected elder of the Guo family. He specially spent money and connections to let his son go to the martial arts hall in the next county to learn some martial arts, plus the hunting skills passed down from his family, so this Guo
He is still a hunter who is famous far and wide for his trustworthiness.
It is said that Guo Shouxin even hunted and killed Xiong Xiazi.
Guo Shouxin looked at Li Yu and said: "Brother Li, what's on the cart is the second dog of our village. This child was playing by the pond yesterday and accidentally fell into the water. He was only discovered this morning and was temporarily placed with you."
Come here, when the coffin is ready in a few days, we will find someone to take it away."
Li Yu said: "This is natural, I will take good care of him."
Guo Shouxin nodded and said nothing.
In his eyes, Li Yu was just a corpse guard at the Yizhuang, he was a lowly person, and he was still a young boy, so there was no need for small talk.
Li Yu pointed to the black handprint and asked curiously: "But, what's going on?"
Seeing the black handprint, Guo Shouxin's face felt a little unnatural. He hesitated for a moment, glanced at him, and wrote lightly: "It's nothing, it was just a fall."
