The village doctor's wife was very clever and her price was very reasonable, but Tang Shiyue was really hungry and didn't negotiate the price.
She was busy all day yesterday without eating, and she was busy most of the night last night. While hurriedly feeding Xiao Yao'er some white porridge, she was holding half a biscuit and taking a bite from time to time.
After eating, Tang Shiyue went over to ask, and the village doctor said: "Although this disease is dangerous, it can be cured with just three doses of medicine. There is no need to take any more medicine after that. Just take more good ones and it will be cured." He paused.
After a while, he said, "I might have a repeat today. If anything happens, please come over and invite me again."
"Doctor Chen," Tang Shiyue said without thinking about it, "I set a trap in the mountains yesterday. I'm going to see if there are any prey today. How about my sister staying here temporarily? It's time to take the medicine.
Please help the doctor or lady to help feed her some medicine, she will be very obedient and won't make trouble."
The village doctor was obviously a little bored, but for the sake of yesterday's two taels of silver, he still nodded: "That's all, I'm always kind-hearted and can't bear to beg for help."
Tang Shiyue said: "If there is a rabbit, I will send it immediately."
Only then did the village doctor look better: "Then go ahead. Don't worry, I will take care of your sister for you."
Tang Shiyue nodded and hurried out, thinking that he had set up seven nooses yesterday. With luck, he would be able to pay off the village doctor's debt today. If there were more, he might be able to leave one for Xiaoyao.
Children nourish the body.
This delay meant that it was already getting late. By the time Tang Shiyue arrived at the trap, it was already bright. He saw Qi Jing coming out of the trap in the distance. Tang Shiyue had no intention of joking with him and only said: "
how?"
Qi Jing frowned, but didn't answer for a moment.
Tang Shiyue asked, looking over there, and then froze.
Qi Jing said: "It was like this when I came. It seems that someone has been here."
Tang Shiyue's face darkened and he walked slowly over there. The long grass inside was trampled into a mess and the ropes were all empty. Tang Shiyue took a long breath and lowered his head to check. Five of the ropes were
Above, I saw the pulled rabbit fur.
Five rabbits, very good.
She looked into the grass and saw deep footprints. Most of the people in the mountains were thin. Even a big-bellied woman could not weigh more than 200 pounds. But a big-bellied woman could not get up here, so there was only one person left.
Tang Shiyue looked around and found a torn half of a blue sleeve on a branch. She took it off and held it in her hand.
Qi Jing stood aside and looked at her quietly.
It is said that she is only twelve years old, and it is said that she used to be a fool, but at this time, the little girl in gray clothes and sarong stood in the forest, with a cold expression, but she had a snow-skinned face, and at such a young age, she was already stunningly beautiful. Especially.
The pair of peach blossom eyes that are always curved and smiling are like two cold springs, black and white, clear and crystal clear, as beautiful as an elf in the mountain. When looking at it, it is indescribably touching.
She turned around and walked down the mountain, Qi Jing couldn't help but follow her. She bumped into long branches of grass from time to time, staining her clothes and making her hair a little messy, making her look very embarrassed.
It was the busy farming season, and the women at home had just sent away the men who were working in the fields when they heard a commotion outside.
It was instinct for the villagers to watch the excitement. They quickly came out of their homes and saw the skinny and embarrassed girl, crying and banging on the door of the Tang family's mansion.
The little girl was crying and crying, and said at the same time: "Third brother! Yin'er! Open the door! Third brother, Tang Shiyin! Open the door quickly!"
Grandma Sun's loud voice immediately came out: "Why are you howling in mourning so early in the morning! Every day, you come to our Tang family's door and howl in mourning. You, the whole family, big and small, are mourning each other. Do you think our Tang family is easy to bully?
"
There were already people beside her asking questions, and Tang Shiyue was crying so hard that she was out of breath... It was different from Wang's beautiful and graceful crying method of covering her face, and she was crying like she was wronged.
Cruel.
Along with Mrs. Sun's scolding, she snarled for a while and said: "I, I set up a rope to trap rabbits in the mountain. I trapped five rabbits, but the third brother took them away secretly. I don't know what to do."
Done... Yesterday, my sister fell ill and was taken to Dr. Chen overnight, which cost more than two taels of money.
I also made an IOU for five rabbits, and now my sister is still lying at the doctor's table waiting to take medicine! I was very anxious, but Tang Shiyin broke my rope at this moment and stole my rabbits.
When I came back, I had clearly marked it, that was my trap, how could he do this..."
She was crying and talking at the same time, saying something here and there. It sounded like a child's incoherent words when she was anxious. In fact, there was a way between the rhythm and the ups and downs. Soon everyone caught the "key point" and frowned one after another.
As the saying goes, you eat the mountain if you rely on the mountain. Mountains are meant for everyone to enter, and everyone has a share in the things in the mountains, but there are also rules.
When everyone sets up traps and ropes in the mountains, they will put up a sign. One is of course to prevent others from accidentally entering, and the other is to tell others that "there is an owner here", so others will naturally not touch it. This rule is three years old in the village.
The kids all know it and will never offend. Even those sneaky second-rate scoundrels don't dare to take any chances with these things.
Otherwise, if you set a trap and I steal it secretly, whoever gets it will be all chaos. Therefore, those who violate the rules will definitely become the target of public criticism.
Soon someone couldn't help it anymore and raised their voice: "Grandma Sun! Anyone in your family who comes out to say something is not you who did it!"
People inside started to pretend to be dead, and Mrs. Sun didn't respond, but soon someone said: "I saw it! This morning I saw Yin'er carrying several rabbits down with his belt! I called him and he ignored me!"
"I saw it too! I'm still wondering how Tang Fat Dog can still catch rabbits! Such big and long rabbits!"
"That's right! Tang Fatou never catches anything! He can't even reach his waist to dig wild vegetables!"
The children gradually strayed from the point, but the adults did not forget it.
Another person said: "Tang family elder brother! Tang Yongfu! Come out and say something! Tang Shiyin! Don't hide! Come out quickly!"
"That's right! Why are you pretending to be dead! Come out quickly!"
Everyone helped to shout, and Mrs. Sun finally couldn't resist anymore. She opened the door and stood up, cursing angrily: "What are you doing! Why are you yelling at me! I have raised her for so many years! What happened to eating a few of her rabbits!"
He scolded Tang Shiyue again: "You are such a ignorant little girl, how dare you get tired of living! How dare you yell at others to cause trouble for me! Why don't you die early and be reincarnated as soon as possible! I feel bad just looking at you.
Heart!"
As she spoke, she suddenly jumped over and kicked him.
Tang Shiyue was not on guard, and when she was about to get out of the way, Granny Sun's leg had already swept over her. Tang Shiyue fell to the ground, and a force suddenly pushed her waist from the diagonal stab, weakening Granny Sun's strength. The next moment,
Tang Shiyue rolled to the ground.
Meow, I was too slow to dodge! I didn’t expect this damn old woman to strike so quickly and so cruelly!
Tang Shiyue didn't have time to think about it, so she acted like she was in unbearable pain, and tears fell down. However, her blurred vision caught a familiar figure outside the crowd. The two quickly exchanged a look, and then Qi Jing turned and left.
But Mrs. Sun's kick made the public angry. Several people helped her up in a hurry, and they all criticized her.
Tang Shiyue was in so much pain that she seemed unable to stand. She was half leaning on an aunt, crying and arguing: "I don't dare to compete with grandma for a few rabbits, but my sister is still sick! I still owe Dr. Chen the rabbits...
...Besides, you have kicked us out, why are you still robbing me of my rabbit! I met them yesterday, and I taught them in detail how to set up ropes. You can set them up yourself! How could the third brother just grab someone else's!
"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions became even worse. (To be continued)
