Chapter 132 in the middle of July
When Ye saw the man's appearance, he already had a good estimate. After taking the medicine for so long, if there was ginseng in each pair of medicine, how much would it cost?
Thinking of this, her body shook, raised her hand and pressed her chest, and her face changed color in an instant.
Xu Laosan was shocked, quickly got up to help Ye, and lied to her without much thought, "How can there be ginseng in every medicine? How can we have so much money to buy ginseng? The doctor only said that it would be better if there were people's ginseng. It happened that there was a broken old ginseng on the other side of Xiangrongtang. Because of its poor appearance, it was sold cheaply. Didn't Xinger save his young master before? Then he agreed to pay a deposit of two yuan first, and then give the rest of the money slowly, so that others can leave the ginseng first.
If you don't say it, it's easy for people to play abnormally in a critical moment. Xu Laosan usually can't say half a word of lies. At this time, he has said a lot of half-truce and half-falsely, but it's also smooth.
Ye knew that his man would not lie. After hearing this, he had believed most of it in his heart, and then asked, "Where did Xing'er get the two pieces of money?" Has she been making money so hard recently just to buy ginseng?
Xu Laosan nodded with a guilty head and quickly added, "The money for the medicine was given to me in private, but it was almost used up, and she had been hiding it from us about Xing'er's purchase of ginseng. She only told me when I wanted to borrow money from her a few days ago."
Ye went back to the house and saw that her daughter had not woken up. She sat on the edge of the kang and reached out to touch her hair. Her hair was thin and soft. At a young age, she had to worry about her family. The more she thought about it, the more sour she became.
"Mother..." Xu Xinger slowly woke up, but she was a little dizzy. She looked at things with virtual shadows, and there was a bitter smell in her mouth. Her voice said weakly, "Mother, I want to drink water..."
"You lie down, mother will pour water for you." Seeing that Xu Xinger was about to get up, Ye quickly pressed her shoulder to let her lie down, went out and poured a bowl of water to bring it in, fed her spoon by spoon, wiped the corners of her mouth with a veil and asked, "Is there anything else that makes you feel bad? If you feel uncomfortable, you have to tell your mother. Don't hide it from your mother. Your mother is going to be scared to death by you today.
Xu Xinger raised her hand and patted the back of Ye's hand and whispered, "Mom, I'm fine."
"Why is your child so hard? Did you faint and say it's okay?" Ye was so angry that he couldn't wait to slap her twice. "The doctor said that if you don't pay much attention, it will become more and more serious in the future. What else do you want to be?"
Before Xu Xinger could speak, Ye continued to say, "If you are exhausted, even if you buy some fairy medicine for your mother, will you feel at ease after taking it?"
"Mom, I know. Don't you think I've been resting at home these days!" Xu Xinger comforted, "And I discussed with Brother Shanzi a few days ago that the pickles I made in the future will be directly taken to the city and sold to those who opened the store, and no longer sell pickles by themselves. Although it can make more money, it is really a waste of time and too tiring."
"It's good not to go. Seeing that you have lost so much weight recently, my mother didn't find it..." Ye began to wipe her tears with reproach.
"Mom, don't take everything on yourself. I...cough..." Xu Xinger coughed violently before she finished her words.
"Look at me and told you to have a good rest, but still pulling you to talk." Ye quickly patted her daughter on the back, "No more, mother, don't worry."
When the two women spoke, the god outside was approaching the end. The god said to Mrs. Xu seriously, "Your granddaughter's life is light, and it is easy to provoke dirty things. Now it is the ghost moon. On the first day of the lunar year, the door is wide open, and thousands of ghosts are haunted, and the gloomy. Originally, she is a girl who lacks yang protection and has a light life, so she is more likely to be targeted by lonely ghosts and wild ghosts. Fortunately, today's practice of setting up altars in the village has suppressed this evil spirit, otherwise it must be more dangerous today. What I just did has driven out the evil spirit, just need to let her drink this bowl of rune water.
After saying that, the master burned a few pieces of rune paper in the bowl as usual, rushed in a ladle of water, stirred it with his black fingers, and asked people to bring it into the room to serve Xu Xinger.
Of course, Xu Xinger would not drink this kind of thing, but she was too lazy to quarrel with Mrs. Xu. She only took it and said that she would drink it. After she went out, she turned her hand and poured out from the back window. Unexpectedly, the steamed buns were scared by the ghost crying wolves in the yard. She was hiding under the window in the backyard and was immediately splashed and jumped high. , stepped back a few steps, bowed and looked at the window warily. Seeing that it was not an outsider but Xu Xinger by the window, he suddenly whined a few times aggrievedly.
"Oh, Xiaobaozi, why are you hiding under the window?" Xu Xinger didn't expect it to be like this. Seeing the wet paper dust on Baozi's head, she couldn't help feeling funny and waved, "Come into the room."
Baozi carefully probed into the room and saw that there were no strange people and things before he slipped in. His front paws were on the edge of the kang and looked at Xu Xinger with a pair of big round eyes.
Xu Xinger covered the rag on the head of the steamed bun, * a few times, then pinched its fluffy little ears and said with a smile, "This is the charm of the master's method. I didn't expect it to be cheaper for you. In the future, our steamed buns will be invulnerable."
Ye stared at her daughter and said anly, "I've told you for a long time. Don't put these words on your mouth, but you just don't listen."
In fact, Ye still believes in these, especially the various taboos in July. She has been indoctrinated a lot since she was a child, and naturally will subconsciously express her daily behavior, but she has no choice but to give birth to a daughter and is a stingy master, so she doesn't take these seriously.
At first, she was also worried. Later, after a long time, she gradually got used to it, but occasionally remembered that she still had to say a few words.
Ye always feels that although Xu Xinger has worked harder recently, her health should not be so bad. It must be because she didn't care about bumping into something, thinking that she should ask for an amulet to come back to feel at ease.
Although Xu Xinger woke up, she still felt that she was not energetic. After teasing the steamed buns for a while, she began to feel sleepy again. She sent Taoer to take the steamed buns out for convenience and planned to get up and wash and sleep.
Ye resolutely refused to let Xu Xinger get up. He came back with hot water to scrub her. Even the mouthwash was brought to the edge of the kang and held the foot basin to spit water for her.
Xu Xinger had never enjoyed such treatment. She was uncomfortable all over. She quickly rinsed her mouth and quickly fell asleep after getting into the quilt.
Ye sat on the edge of the bed and kept watching his daughter fall asleep. He reached out to pull the quilt for her and covered her exposed shoulders. Then he gently blew the lamp out.
Tao'er took the steamed bun out for a walk. When she came back and saw that the elder sister was asleep, she obediently washed the bed and forgot that Xu Xinger had told her to put the steamed buns in the backyard and close the door.
Xu Xinger didn't know how long she slept. She faintly heard the sound of dogs barking outside, not the sound of the adult local dogs in the village, but more like the barking of puppies. Although she barked loudly, the voice was very tender.
"Bao?" Xu Xinger woke up with excitement. She thought she was dreaming, but she didn't expect that the sound of steamed buns really came from the front yard.
Xu Xinger thought that a weasel came home to steal food. She was afraid of waking up her family and went out to check in her clothes.
The moon in July and half hung brightly in mid-air, and everything in the yard could be seen clearly. The yard was entangled with steamed buns, and it was actually Hong Yun holding a jar.
The steamed bun bit her trousers and feet, spread her limbs and lay on the ground. No matter how she dragged and hit it, she resolutely refused to let go. There was a "woo" threatening sound in her throat, and four claws dragged a long mark on the ground.
"Hong Yun! What are you doing at my house in the middle of the night? While Xu Xinger raised her voice and scolded, she had rushed up and reached out to twist Hong Yun's arm. "Now that you have caught a man's stolen goods, I'd like to see what you've done."
Hong Yun didn't expect that he would be caught and subconsciously hid the jar behind him, but Xu Xinger twisted his arm, and the jar almost fell to the ground.
When Xu Xinger saw that she cared so much about this jar, she remembered that it was the same in the mountain a few days ago, so she reached out to grab it. While robbing it, she shouted loudly, "Dad and mother, our family has become a thief. Get up!"
Xu Laosan and Ye Shi were soon woken up and quickly turned on the light. They saw that Xu Xinger had already wrestled with Hong Yun, and Baozi was also helping, biting Hong Yun's trousers vigorously.
I don't know whether the cloth has been bad for a long time, or because the steamed bun tried too hard, it directly bit a piece of trousers, revealing a small white ankle and bare instep.
Hong Yun was shocked. He looked down and couldn't help blushing. His men pushed Xu Xinger away and turned around to run.
Xu Xinger didn't catch it because she was uncomfortable, and was pushed back by her. Fortunately, Xu Laosan had run over, reached out and grabbed Hong Yun's arm, and asked doubtfully, "In the middle of the night, what's going on?"
There was a little too much noise here, and Brother Cheng's house next door was also woken up. Brother Cheng's father came out in clothes and asked, "Lao San, what's wrong?"
"Hong Yun ran to my yard in the middle of the night and didn't know what else to do." Xu Laosan grabbed Hong Yun's arm and was also a little awkward. After all, the other party was a girl. No matter what, he had to know how to avoid it, so he quickly handed it over to Ye and Xu Xinger.
With the help of Xu Laosan and Ye, Xu Xinger finally grabbed the jar from Hong Yun's hand and opened the jar curiously.
Hong Yun saw that Xu Xinger was going to open a jar and struggled desperately in Ye's hand. Fortunately, he was young and had little strength, so he couldn't break free.
After the lid was opened, there was an indescribable smell. Looking at the light, Xu Xinger only felt her stomach churning and almost spit out.
