1116 Charm (I)
"Huh?"
Su Chen snorted coldly, he knew what Hongyu said about the Taoist woman, not the legendary cultivator in later generations, in Jinhua folk here is an evil name for the goddess. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It just so happened that the Zhangtai altar that the predecessor went to destroy was also a branch altar managed by Wang Daopo, and the goddess in the memory was very famous in the vicinity, and even some high-ranking officials and nobles in the city also had many people who were invited to enter the palace to ask for advice.
"Could it be that she doesn't look down on our family's fifty taels of silver?"
Su Chen's face was flat, and he couldn't see his joy or anger, so he asked softly.
When it comes to the matter of gods and ghosts, Aunt Ning has been to Zhangtai God to incense again, no need to ask, it must have something to do with it.
Fifty taels of silver is not a small amount, ordinary people can not earn five taels of silver a year, and the living needs of a month are only a few hundred yuan, fifty taels of silver is the total income of a family for more than ten years.
Although the Ning family has dozens of acres of paddy fields, and the old man Ning was also a small landlord when he was there, but the management has not been good over the years, and the Ning family is a kind-hearted person.
There is no money left at home.
In the past few days, in addition to the consultation fee and medicine paid to the doctor, the fifty taels of silver have been all the property of the Ning family.
If the goddess is not enough, and opens Haikou, their family really has no way to think about it, and it is useless to sell their own house.
"Yes, Wang Daopo said that in order to appease the anger of Zhangtai God, she asked for five hundred taels, how could her mother take it? She returned home in a daze, and began to get sick that night, and suffered all night, saying that someone was whipping her fiercely. ”
Speaking of this, Hongyu and Ning Caichen began to weep again.
Ning Caichen interjected: "The most hateful thing is that the doctor of Xi Hetang, not only did he receive money to see a bad disease, but he talked nonsense about what our mother had hysteria, delirious and nonsense, and in the end she refused to come over to take a look." ”
If they have hysteria in these years, it is equivalent to a death sentence, which is basically ruined, which makes them how to stand it.
"I remember that Xihetang is our family's property, although it is managed by the uncle's family, and it is said that it loses money every year, but it will not be that the owner has something to do, and he can't even see a doctor?"
"Uncle said, during this time, for your illness, the hospital has taken out a lot of good medicines, and lost a lot, and those doctors have lost their salaries and have great complaints, so they refuse to come. ”
Ning Caichen said during Ai Ai.
"Good fellows. Su Chen was simply laughed at angrily, this nerd really stayed to the extreme, no need to ask, this is another dirty thing to seize the industry.
Whether or not his body has used precious medicinal herbs can be known with a little induction.
Judging from the weakness of the body, what I took was nothing more than some cheap herbs that soothes the nerves and helped me sleep, and where did I get a lot of good medicines?
Before his death, Mr. Ning was a well-known and powerful doctor, and he was a man from all over the world, and Xihetang was founded by him.
After he died unexpectedly, because the two brothers were not popular, Aunt Ning entrusted the medical hall to their uncle, that is, the elder brother of Old Man Ning, to manage it on his behalf, and agreed to pay dividends every year.
However, in Su Chen's remaining memories, he found that their family had not received much dividends at all over the years, and the total was only about twenty taels.
According to the uncle's family, the price of drugs on the market has been high in recent years, the supply is tight, and the business of the hospital is not very good.
So it's hard to maintain, and there's no profit.
Ning Wenjing, Ning Caichen and others all believed it, even including Aunt Ning, who did not have the slightest suspicion about the uncle's father and son.
At this time, Aunt Ning was sick, the doctor of Xihetang did not come, and the uncle's family did not care, Su Chen still didn't understand what was going on.
It's just that seeing that this home is going to be ruined, they don't even bother to make superficial perfunctory.
However, this matter is ignored for the time being, and it is most important to treat Aunt Ning first.
It is not too difficult to expel the evil qi on her body, and Su Chen can do it with a silver needle.
The difficulty is that his body is too weak and he has no energy.
"I'm hungry, let's cook, do you have meat at home? ”
Su Chen turned his head and asked Hongyu.
"There is only one hen left that lays eggs. Ruby turned around and was about to kill the chicken.
"It's not enough, and if there is any money, Caichen will go buy ten catties of meat and buy more. ”
Su Chen said with a smile.
Hongyu was dazed and didn't speak, she looked at the big vat in the corner of the house, thinking that she couldn't even afford rice.
As soon as Su Chen's eyes turned, he understood, waved his hand and said, "That's it, let's go stew the chicken first, and I'll figure out a way tomorrow." ”
His body has been baptized by luck, and has returned to a healthy state, and he is in urgent need of nourishment, and his stomach is burning with hunger, as if there are dozens of mouths crying out in unison.
If it weren't for the strong willpower of the soul and the control of himself, I am afraid that his eyes would have turned green and he would have swallowed whatever he saw.
For example, some of the victims were so hungry that they could even gnaw on the clods of earth and stones.
Su Chen's current state is similar to that of those disaster victims, where can he still take care of any politeness.
Besides, there is nothing polite to be with his wife and brother.
Direct command.
Hongyu leaned forward while boiling water to treat the chicken, wanting to say anything but didn't dare, hesitated for a while, and looked at the fire with a wrinkled face.
Su Chen was a little puzzled, seeing Ning Caichen looking at the chicken in the pot with his eyes blank, obviously he was also very greedy, this guy may not have been touched with meat for a long time, and there was no oil and water in his stomach.
"Caichen come here. Su Chen whispered.
"Big brother. ”
"Speaking of meat, why is Ruby so weird?"
Su Chen wondered, he was afraid that there was something taboo in this matter, so it was not good to ask directly, Ning Caichen didn't have any city government, so it was better to ask him.
"Hey, in fact, my sister-in-law was born in Orion, learned a good martial arts, and went up to the mountains to collect medicine and hunt a few days ago...... Just because of this, because the neighbors said that she didn't abide by women's morals, and cried a few times, big brother, sometimes when you wake up, you will scold her for losing the face of the Ning family, so just now she should have wanted to go hunting in the back mountains, but she didn't dare to say it. ”
Moreover, some people say that the family is not at peace during this time, and it may be that the sister-in-law provoked something unclean back in the mountains. ”
Being stared at by Su Chen's eyes, Ning Caichen couldn't stand it, and directly poured beans into the bamboo tube and said it.
"Ruby will collect medicine and hunt?"
Su Chen's eyes lit up, where did he think that there was a reason for this.
"I don't know if it will be, I didn't get any tonic back when I went to those two times, but I got a few rabbits and pheasants, and I also hit a roe deer, brother, you have also eaten it, have you forgotten, you scolded while eating." ”
Ning Caichen was very confused.
Su Chen was a little embarrassed, and his face was a little unbearable. Immediately laughed again, it's a good thing to be looking for hunting, just to make up for life, why don't you allow it.
After thinking about it, he understood that women in this era are beautiful to teach their husbands and children to honor their in-laws, and when they go out to show their faces, especially in martial arts, they will indeed be criticized.
But the predecessor got benefits, not to mention cherishing his daughter-in-law, but also opening his mouth to reprimand, which is indeed pedantic.
Su Chen's eyes were sharp, and he saw that the ears of Hongyu, who was burning in front of the stove, were shaking unnaturally, and he knew that he had heard the two of them talking, so he didn't come forward, probably because he was afraid that he would scold her again.
A complicated emotion rose in his heart, and he said: "Hongyu will go up the mountain once you have eaten, go back quickly, get more meat and come back, pick the medicine when it comes to it, and don't deliberately look for it if you don't touch it." ”
"Yes, Xianggong. ”
Hongyu turned her head with a smile, very coquettish, and was extremely happy to see that Su Chen did not scold her, and allowed her to go up the mountain to hunt.
She served a large pot of chicken, first took out a bowl, kneaded some chicken pieces, filled a bowl of soup, and helped Aunt Ning drink it.
Then, she just scooped a bowl of chicken soup herself, drank it in three or two sips, and packed up.
From the corner of the courtyard, he took out an iron sword with a black and shiny blade.
Tie your belt tightly and go out.
The delicate and delicate body looks a little heroic at this time.
"Wait, don't rush this moment, eat more. “
Su Chen ate a few bites of chicken and went down to his stomach, and as soon as his stomach turned, he turned into energy and diffused into his muscles, flesh and bones, knowing that he was right, with enough nutritional supplements, this body could be resurrected with full blood on the spot, and a chicken was not enough to fill in the gaps between his teeth.
However, even so, it is impossible to eat alone.
Let your own lady go up to the mountains to hunt hungry, how can this be done.
He slowly stepped forward with some tears and laughter, pulled Hongyu to the table, filled a bowl of chicken, and ordered: "Eat it while it's hot, and when you have the strength to fight more beasts, such a little chicken is not enough." “
Anyway, they couldn't hide their appetite, Su Chen simply said it directly, even if they didn't say it, they could see it themselves.
"Xianggong ......" Hongyu's eyes were a little steamy, but she didn't refuse, she finished eating very sweetly, smiled sweetly, and was about to go out.
After thinking about it, she took out a sachet from her arms and hung it on the head of Aunt Ning's bed before she went out with confidence.
"Eat, why are you stunned. Su Chen laughed when he saw Ning Caichen sitting next to him and looked tangled.
It's all so poor, and the family is quite polite.
After the two brothers had eaten this precious lunch, they were quiet again.
Maybe it's because there is someone missing in the house, but it's more because Ning Caichen seems to be a little unable to let go in front of his eldest brother.
Su Chen sat on the side, closed his eyes and concentrated on cultivating his body.
A chicken was eaten by several people, but he still ate more than half of it, and now all the meat in his belly has been dispersed into essence.
Sitting still is just to accumulate energy, so as not to waste all the little essence that was so hard to have.
Later, I have to expel the yin qi for the old lady, and I can't do it without physical strength.
"I hope my sister-in-law is okay this time. Ning Caichen walked around the door, holding a book in his hand, obviously unable to read it.
"What's the matter, isn't it just hunting? Her family martial arts should be very good, don't worry. Su Chen smiled, his face stiffened, and he felt as if he had overlooked something.
"No, big brother, Cuishan is very dangerous, and few people dare to go up to the mountain to hunt.
I heard that there were monsters there, and my sister-in-law was injured the last time she came back, and she vomited blood, and she didn't go out for several days. ”
"What?"
Su Chen stood up.
He knew he had overlooked something.
This world is different from any other world before, but there are demons and ghosts, and they can't be taken lightly.
Hongyu's physical physique is very good, and he subconsciously thinks that she will not be in any danger, and he doesn't think about this stubble at all, it is a preconceived thought.
