Mrs. He was standing next to her. Listening to the mother and son settling the matter with just one sentence, she was all smiles on her face. She couldn't help but shudder. But when she thought about it again, they didn't have a daughter in their big house.
It has nothing to do with her not being a concubine. She felt relieved again and just pretended not to hear anything.
Mrs. Li sat aside, her slender eyes looked around at the expressions of everyone in the room, and she lowered her head silently.
Tang Shiyue had already trotted to the village doctor's house.
The village doctor and his wife obviously heard about what happened here. The village doctor looked at her sideways and said, "It's not that urgent. Anyway, there are still ten days."
Tang Shiyue smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely pay it back within ten days."
The village doctor nodded.
The village doctor's wife asked her with a smile: "Do you want to have lunch at our place?"
Tang Shiyue took out the copper coins and asked, "I wonder what you have done?"
Seeing that she was interested, the village doctor's wife immediately became happy: "I scrambled eggs today, made parsley soup... made soup cakes..."
Soup cakes are noodles, something that is easy to digest, and should be suitable for Xiao Yao'er to eat. Tang Shiyue nodded, paid, and ate with Xiao Yao'er.
In the evening, Xiao Yao'er seemed to be more energetic, but the village doctor still said: "Although it is possible to go back now, it is not very safe. If you want to be safe, it is best to stay here for one more day."
…”
Tang Shiyue knew it well.
They just thought that they could make more money by cooking, so they were reluctant to part with Qiao Zong'er. But she didn't mind too much. After all, the longer she stayed, the worse Xiao Yao'er's condition became, and she had reason not to return.
Home.
So they stayed another night.
Chencun Doctor's place is like a small medical clinic. People from nearby villages often come to see the doctor. There are two or three couches in the wing, which are specially used for patients to stay overnight. Those who bring their families can also stay in another room.
Being in a private room is equivalent to a VIP ward. So there is no inconvenience at all.
Tang Shiyue got up early the next morning, had dinner at the village doctor's house, told Xiao Yao'er to wait for her here, and then came out with the basket on her back.
Poor!
Suddenly she lost two taels of silver and was still in debt. She felt that she was really poor.
When she went up the mountain, she focused on walking where there was no path. As she struggled to open the way forward, she looked around carefully, not missing every ditch and bump, and even pulling away the grass to take a look.
Along the way, I picked a dozen white cabbages and some purslane. Purslane is thick and juicy, and modern people often use it for salad dressing. The ancients thought it was a rare and good vegetable, and sometimes even the nobles in the palace
Also eating, as a way to check people's mood.
The basket was full, but nothing good was found, not even a tiger palm fungus... Could it be that after working with that unlucky ghost Qi Jing twice, her good luck was gone?
Tang Shiyue complained in her heart, while still walking forward, everyone passed by, and suddenly stopped.
She stepped back, used the scythe to clear the bushes, studied it carefully, and was overjoyed! This is night-flowering vine! Polygonum multiflorum!
Regardless of her appearance, Tang Shiyue half-knelt and half-crouched on the ground, then bent down and carefully dug away the soil bit by bit, for fear of breaking any bit of skin. It took more than half an hour to finally reveal the brown soil.
rhizome.
She regained her energy, threw away the sickle, and carefully pushed away the soil little by little with her hands. Finally, she dug out the roots, and found two complete humanoid shapes, and there was obviously a little more stuff in the gap between one of the legs.
The human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum is the most valuable, and the pair of yin and yang is the most expensive! It can be found but not sought! What's more, Polygonum multiflorum has been in human form for at least a hundred years. Such Polygonum multiflorum, if caught by Qiao Zonger, can be sold for several thousand
Neither is a problem!
She has business capital! Yaoyuan is looking for help from her!
Tang Shiyue was overjoyed. She quickly found some long grass, wrapped it up carefully, then opened the basket, put the purslane on top, and the white mulberry on top, and walked happily down the mountain.
It was still early, probably around noon. Before Tang Shiyue reached the bottom of the mountain, he suddenly saw thick smoke billowing into the sky. Tang Shiyue was surprised, and walked forward faster. After running for a while, he found that the fire was burning.
It’s actually the Qi family!
Tang Shiyue was startled and started running. When she ran out panting, she saw that the two shabby houses of the Qi family had been engulfed in flames.
This place was originally on the edge of the mountain, far away from where the villagers gathered. At this time, everyone who could work was busy in the farmland. There were only women and children at home, and a few people from far away were pointing around.
Tang Shiyue said anxiously: "Quickly put out the fire!"
Someone said: "The fever is so big, how can I save it?"
Tang Shiyue rushed inside and said, "Is there anyone there? Is anyone at home?"
"Girl Yue, what are you in a hurry for?" Someone said, "The young man is not here, he went out early in the morning."
Tang Shiyue breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly thought of something: "But doesn't he have a younger brother? It is said that he is still young!" She shouted inside again: "Is there anyone else? Is anyone there?"
Someone whispered: "His brother is a fool!" That clearly meant that if you are a fool, you will die if you die.
"A ghost house is in the village. You Shen is panicking. He's already sick!"
Someone else said, "Girl Yue, don't worry, everyone has called you just now and no one answered. It should be because no one is there."
"That's right. If someone comes out early, even a fool will cry."
At this moment, half of the courtyard wall suddenly collapsed, and Tang Shiyue could clearly see that under the trees in the courtyard, two robes obviously belonging to children were hanging to dry.
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens!
Tang Shiyue didn't hesitate anymore, put down the basket and ran to the creek. She was so thin that she rolled into the river, then pulled off her outer robe to cover her head and face, and rushed in.
The fire was huge, the smoke was billowing, and the heat was scorching. Tang Shiyue covered her face with her wet sleeves and quickly walked around the outside of the house.
At a glance, she saw a child in the main room leaning against the corner, standing upright and motionless. The smoke was so heavy that Tang Shi Yuexun burst into tears and couldn't open his eyes. He was afraid that he had seen the wrong thing, so he said anxiously:
"Hey! Come out quickly! I'll take you out!"
After calling several times, the child remained motionless, as if he were a clay or wooden sculpture. Seeing that his outer clothes would be dried if he waited any longer, Tang Shiyue gritted his teeth and rushed in.
She saw clearly that this was a child, only four or five years old, with his eyes closed, tightly squeezed in the corner. Tang Shiyue rushed to pull him, but after a pull, he actually didn't pull. The child's whole body froze.
Like a stone.
But with this pull, the child suddenly let out a low whimper, like the whimper of a small animal before its death.
When Tang Shiyue turned around hurriedly, she ran into a pair of red eyes.
He stared straight at her, and despite the huge smoke, he actually didn't blink for a long time.
She didn't have time to think about it, so she used all her strength to pull him over, hugged him into her arms, protected him with her body, and rushed out... The tongues of fire rolled up the straw on the roof and kept falling,
It fell on her and slowly ignited. Tang Shiyue hissed in pain, and rolled a few times on the ground as soon as he rushed out of the yard.
The villagers nearby were also surprised and exclaimed: "There really is a child!"
Those who responded quickly quickly took buckets and basins to the river, scooped out water, and poured it on them. The fire was extinguished after a while. The villagers helped her up with all their hands, and Tang Shiyue breathed well.
, and glanced at the child in his arms.
The child was extremely beautiful. He had the same phoenix eyes as his brother, and the pupils were dark and large. He looked straight at her, motionless. His clothes and hair were all burnt to pieces, and the exposed flesh was also burnt.
They were all burned, but he didn't seem to know the pain.
Tang Shiyue shook him: "Are you okay??"
The child didn't answer, and someone whispered: "Isn't this child a fool?"
"It looks real."
Just then, someone exclaimed: "Look at the child's hands!"
When Tang Shiyue hurriedly took his hand and looked at it, he saw his small hands. He didn't know what he was holding in the palm of his hand. The skin and flesh were burned to pieces. Tang Shiyue was stunned for a moment. He didn't have time to think too much and hurried to the village doctor's house. There were quite a few of them.
The good-hearted village woman also followed behind.
As soon as the village doctor checked him, he said: "I'm afraid it's hopeless!"
