Chapter 30: Comer


It might be Li Qinghe who answered, Qian Laiman was surprised for a moment, and after the surprise, it was uncomfortable.
The person she maintains this way is not him. Qian Laiman smiled embarrassedly, "They are still waiting for me. Since they are not selling, then I will leave."
Watching him go down the mountain quickly, Zhou Chengkang was a little surprised at Li Qinghe's impoliteness earlier, but he couldn't tell that the kid hadn't given up yet, his heart was just beautiful, "Qinghe, I think he has bad intentions, so ignore him later."
Li Qinghe looked serious, "Today her cousin demolished my stage in front of so many people, saying that I am Hu Meizi."
Angrily flashed in Zhou Chengkang's eyes, and he didn't forget to comfort her, "She is talking nonsense, don't be angry."
The two went down the mountain, hitting the hare and the pheasant, but they did not avoid others. When they arrived at the door of Zhou's house, Zhou Chengkang took the two little rabbits back to her and returned a big one.
Zhou's family heard the movement and saw this scene when they came out. Zhou's mother smiled and invited Li Qinghe to sit in, seemingly not dissatisfied.
Li Qinghe also divided the mushrooms in half, and then took the rabbit back. It was getting late at this time. After dinner at home, Li Fu was surprised when she went out and saw her carrying the rabbit. "Are you still hitting the rabbit?" Seeing the mushrooms in Li Qinghe's basket, "Can this be eaten?"
Li Qinghe put down the things and shook his somewhat sour arm, "Yes. I picked two kinds of them, both of which were collected by someone in the town, so nothing will happen."
Zhao Wanwan ran out of the house and was very happy to see the rabbit, "Is this for food?"
Qian also stood at the door and watched for a long while.
Li Fu took the fat rabbit to peel the skin. Zhao Wanwan helped Li Qinghe to clean up the mushrooms. The mushrooms were picked back with a lot of soil and dead leaves. They had to be cleaned and boiled, and then they could be fried or stewed. Qian glanced at the sisters, then sneered, "It's not hard enough."
Li Qinghe has always been unafraid of the Qians, so he pushed back on the spot, "I didn't ask for your help again!"
Qian came in, "Don't say I won't help you, I don't dare to eat it, in case it is poisonous."
After finishing talking, she entered the door and picked up the needle and thread again. Zhao Wanwan kept her head down and concentrated on working. Li Qinghe glanced at her and asked in a low voice, "Do you think your mother seems lazy?"
Although it was a bit of something to say to her mother, Li Qinghe couldn’t help it. She didn’t know when she left the town before. During the time she was at home, she discovered that the Qian family rarely moved with Li Fu on his back. She didn't know how to do it, just didn't want to do it. Many things, such as cooking, cleaning the yard, feeding chickens, including collecting eggs, were mostly done by Zhao Wanwan.
Zhao Wanwan smiled, "My mother asked me to do more and it would be good for me. If it weren't for this, the Hu family might not look after me."
Co-authored by Hu's family, is it because you can work?
Li Qinghe thought for a while, it seemed that this was indeed the case, and there was nothing to say at the moment. The two of them arranged it very quickly, and quickly boiled the water and boiled it again, and it was a small pot.
Zhao Wanwan looked at the smooth and tender mushrooms after washing, and smiled, "Sister, I really want to go. Why don't we find more people tomorrow? Sister Qingmiao over there, she has to go too."
"If you have time, let's talk about it." Li Qinghe replied casually, she doesn't necessarily have to run like this every day.
The next morning, Li Qingmiao came over early in the morning. After entering the yard, he asked enthusiastically, "Qinghe, I heard that you caught the little rabbit yesterday? Let me see."
Li Qinghe was washing, and pointed to the cage in the corner.
Li Qingmiao quickly went over and squatted down, teasing for a long time, and said, "Unfortunately, the second brother can't hunt, Qinghe, if you catch it again in the future, can you feed me?"
Seeing her full of expectation, Li Qinghe laughed, "Do you like little rabbits or eat rabbit meat?"
Li Qingmiao glared at her, "Can't I like both of them?"
At this time, there was another woman standing outside the yard. It was the neighbor of Li Qinghe's house and the surname was Li, but both of them were in their forties and had no children. "Qinghe, I heard that your house is holding a rabbit? "
Li Qinghe looked up when he heard the words, saw her, smiled and said, "It's the third aunt, this rabbit is being raised after being injured, and I don't know if it can be supported."
The third aunt walked in and squatted down, "Is it okay to be killed by the time of the Chinese New Year?"
Li Qinghe, "..." One by one, they focused on other people's meat.
The three of them were looking at the rabbit. A woman walked by with a smile and smiled at several people, "There is a rare thing at the entrance of the village. Someone brought some people over and asked if you want to buy it?"
The few people looked at each other. This is really a rare event that hasn't happened in many years. Everyone has heard about the sale of people, but there is a special place in the county town. This is the first time it has been sent to the village.
"Look at it." Li Qingmiao went to the well to fetch water and wash her hands, and did not forget to say hello, "Qinghe, go together."
When the three of them arrived at the entrance of the village, a lot of people were already surrounded by the big tree. The woman who had informed them was not there, and a steady stream of people continued to surround him in the distance.
A man in his forties with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek was enthusiastic and said, "The price of the header is negotiable. For example, she..."
He pointed his finger at a fair-skinned girl, "Eight taels of silver."
The village chief frowned, "Don't be here. Ordinary farmers don't have the money. Besides, ordinary farmers can't keep maids and slaves. If they fail, they will become merchants. The grain tax on the land can be 10% higher."
This is not so much addressed to the man as it is to the people watching the excitement around him.
Hearing this, the people who were talking about it looked at each other, and those who had the idea also converged.
The man didn't get angry either, he smiled and stepped forward, "Are you an elder in the village? After hearing your words, have you read the law?"
The village chief nodded, "So, you... take it away."
"You don't know. Most of the girls I brought are all alone. If the people in your village intend to marry a wife, I will treat them as a husband. They are reliable and there are few bachelors in the village. If you don’t make trouble, I’ll charge a matchmaker’s money. Everyone will benefit each other.
The man became more energetic when he saw the approval of the people around him. ?"
The village head's complexion was not very good, but someone at the side had already approached and asked, and in the end five women remained.
The man happily took the rest of the people away, but found that a thin girl in the corner seemed to be asleep. He kicked two feet and didn't respond. He frowned and squatted down to take a look. His face flushed. Fever.
It looked like a fever, but he didn't dare to take it back. If he got the rest, he would lose out. I didn't care about it now, and left with those people.
As soon as he left, the crowd watching the excitement also planned to go home, but someone spotted the remaining girl sharp-eyed. Only when he walked over did they find that she was too sick.
Immediately someone asked the village chief, "His uncle, what should I do?"
It's really difficult. If this person is really dead, every family will do their best to bury it, but this girl prefers a good one, so she can't die.
With that clear mind, he said quickly, "The man didn't want her just now, did he dislike her for being sick and can't sell her, or would her disease itself be infected by others?"
Everyone couldn't help but step back as soon as he said this. Li Qinghe also guessed that it was probably the case.
When everyone backed away, the thin girl lying in the middle was particularly conspicuous, but the third aunt next to him stepped forward and bent over to touch the girl's forehead, "If we don't care, it would be too pitiful. Why don't I take it back and see Can you save it?"
Nowadays, many people are showing disapproval expressions. Some people in this ordinary family are sick and dying. One cannot work, and secondly, it costs too much to seek medical advice. Where can they bring patients home? ? If he is dead, it is not bad enough.
Besides, the third aunt doesn't have a child. If he has a son, he can take him home for treatment. If he is saved, he will be a ready-made daughter-in-law. But the third aunt took it back...what's the picture?
Those close to me stepped forward to persuade, but the third aunt had a right idea, "Anyway, it is a life."
I still can't persuade me.
The third aunt took the person back and asked Zhou Chengkang to go to the town to find a doctor. Li Qinghe also went to her house. The the bed looked thin, fair skin, and had several calluses on her fingers.
Li Qinghe has heard the Xu family say that those who often embroider have cocoons.
With Zhou Chengkang's carriage, the doctor came very quickly. After taking the pulse, he shook his head and said, "It's hot like this, do everything." After two sets of medicine were prepared, Zhou Chengkang was sent back.
The doctor left, and Li Qinghe went back. She hasn't fed her fish today, but the third aunt didn't interact with their family in the past. I didn't expect to be so kind and surprising.
After two days of calm, Li Qinghe went to the pond to feed the fish in the afternoon, and passed by the door of the third aunt's house, and was called, "Qinghe."
Li Qinghe was puzzled, "My third aunt called me?"
The third aunt was a little embarrassed, "Auntie wants to ask you for a favor."
Li Qinghe came in and saw that she was adding hot water to the basin. The third aunt reached out to test the water and said, "Qinghe, I want to help your girl wipe her body, but I'm alone in fear of letting her catch a cold too late, you help me Twisting the kerchief can also hurry up."
This is fine. Li Qinghe followed her in. The the bed fell asleep, but her complexion had returned to ruddy and her appearance was only beautiful, but because of her fair skin, she looked better than many girls in this village.
Li Qinghe helped twist the kerchief, and the third aunt wiped it. She wiped most of it quickly. When she turned over the the bed, her brows frowned and her eyes opened.
The third aunt was overjoyed, "Are you awake?"
The girl's first reaction was to pull the quilt to cover herself, and when she saw the two women in the room, she seemed to be relieved when she was helping her to wipe her body. I looked around the house and was surprised, "Where is this? Countryside?"
Li Qinghe's eyelids twitched. Seeing her so surprised, should this girl not live in the country?
The third aunt went to check her forehead, "How are you? Do you remember what your name is? Is there anything uncomfortable? Would you like to ask the doctor again?"
The girl's face gradually became frightened, "Where is this!"
Li Qinghe sighed and said, "This is Wangcun, Luoyue Town."
"Ah!" The girl covered her head, "What the hell, why am I here?"
Li Qinghe explained to her, "Someone brought a group of you to the village to sell, and if you were sick, they left you behind. It was the aunt who didn't see you being sick and was thrown at the village mouth before bringing you back and asking you for a doctor. You have been asleep for two days, and if you don’t wake up, you may not be able to wake up in your life. If your aunt hadn’t brought you back, you probably wouldn’t be able to."
In the last sentence, the tone was deliberately emphasized. The third aunt was embarrassed, "Saving a life, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue is nothing."
The girl held her head, "You let me be quiet."
The two cleaned up their pots and went out. The third aunt was a little worried, "Would you like to see the doctor again?"
Li Qinghe shook his head, "No, the doctor said that she will be fine when she wakes up? If she feels unwell later, it won't be too late to see the doctor."
The third aunt nodded, "Then you go quickly. I will delay you for a long time. Aunty made the soup, and I will send you some past."
"No." Li Qinghe refused hurriedly, knowing that it was the sick person inside without thinking.
When I ran to feed the fish and came back, I saw the girl standing in the yard watching around. When I saw Li Qinghe, she barely smiled, "Thank you just now. I want to ask, how long will it take to go to the county? "
